Before the club took the call sign of deceased member Carl Brinegar/W5QX, the club station's call sign was K5AXA.  This photo was taken in the early 1960s when the clubhouse was located on Locust Street.  The clubhouse had to be moved to make room for the Houston-Harte Expressway.  The current clubhouse was built in 1977.  The Houston-Harte Expressway was finally completed in 2004!
