I have received a reply from the BOD of American Undersea Warfare and they do
not want participation from BVARC or any Amateur Radio Operators in the Museum
Ship Weekend on their property this year. That leaves us with finding another
site. Last year we were denied permission to operate from the Park Area and
though I have not asked this year I would not expect to be welcomed in Seawolf
Park either. Last year we operated from Ft. Travis on Bolivar Penesula and
were welcomed by Galveston County to their Park. We all had a good time except
that the mosquitos were bad after dark when the sea breeze brought the critters
in from the grassy area. We were able to use the shelters last year, but we
have not asked if they are available this year, waiting for an answer from AUW.
I have been planning for Jerry Muller to assist me this year as Co-Chairman,
but Jerry has withdrawn as of this week end. So, I am soliciting comments from
the membership. What do we do? Do we go to Ft. Travis where we can stay at
night or call it off. Who will commit to attending and helping. Do I have
another candidate for Co-Chairman who will commit? Now is the time for us to
make plans for the first weekend in June. Willis 'Cookie' Cooke,Chairman for
