Hi all, Yes MSWE is on BOD agenda and Ft Travis works and in some ways better. To the readers of the reflector drop Cookie an email as he needs to get a feel for who will show and who will help so can possibly set space in the cabanas.I know most of us are geared for fast approching GHH but lets give Cookie some info. 73 Bill WS5H ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Hardwick via BVARC To: 'WILLIS COOKE' ; 'BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB' Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2015 11:51 AM Subject: Re: [BVARC] Countdown to MSWE 2012
Cookie, I would move forward with the request to the Galveston County Board for Ft. Travis. I know the mosquitoes were really bad but I don’t think there is any other option at this time. I talked with Bill about the MSWE and he has no problem with it and Ft. Travis. I know it is on the agenda for the BOD meeting tomorrow so there should be plenty of comments after tomorrow. Unfortunately, I will be out of e-mail coverage starting tomorrow around 6pm until the 14th. I am ready for it and, if possible, will be spending more time at Ft. Travis this year. Keep up the good work.

After recently being denied access to the ship compound at Seawolfe park, I put a query on the reflector about the interest of members in Ft. Travis on Bolivar, but I have not received any replies. Jerry Muller recently withdrew from his co-chairman position for personal reasons and I am interested in anyone who desires to take over that role. At present I am wondering if there is sufficient interest in the event to query the Galveston County Park Board about the availability of Ft. Travis. Last year was good, but the mosquitos in the early evening were fierce. After I made my query, I did not receive any messages on the BVARC reflector until the one from Mike Hardwick shown below. I would appreciate it if the situation would be briefly discussed at the coming board meeting and the feeling of the BOD would be relayed to me.
