Before the day of the cell phone; Hams
communicated with hand held radios all over Texas

A 300 Foot Radio Tower at Pleasant Farms  south of Odessa TX was a part of this communication

Jim spent many days on this site working on the network

James Jeffery was one of the founding Amateur Radio Operators of the West Texas Connection.

This network covered a large part of Texas.
Thanks to the help of a large number of hams this was created.

The Texas Map shows location of various tower sites of the network.
