As I recall ( thats not much these days) the coast guard station provided a small area for our use. Yacht Basin was as said for car/boat parking. not provision for comfort. The full restrooms /showers, able to set tents, large area to set various antennas and use of cabanas won the day at Ft Travis. When Cookie and I gave all a looksee the summer heat and shade was also a key factor. Ft Travis is a lock up after dark park however gate code was given to chairman MSWE for 24 hr access. Anyway thats what I still remember. The county park was happy with our event 73 Bill WS5H ----- Original Message ----- From: Theresa via BVARC To: EMD Cebridge ; BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2015 6:58 PM Subject: Re: [BVARC] Countdown to MSWE 2012
I suggested the coast guard station last year, don't remember why no one checked with them.

Yes, it's all car/boat parking, BUT it's also a mile from Seawolf, the ships should be visible without aids, and we'd be an IOTA again.

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.
