Matt Cline, K3JMC, will bring to us the in-and-outs on Digital Mobile Radio or DMR. DMR is growing fast and Houston already has nearly 15 repeaters operating DMR. Come out to the meeting to find out more on this fast growing digital format.
Also staring at the June meeting will be the BVARC raffle 2.0. This raffle is extremely different since the prize is a "station in a box". This station in a box is everything but the trees so make sure you pick up your raffle ticket to win a new radio and accessories. We will be selling tickets for the station in the box through November's Chili supper. If you would like to sell tickets, tell Donovan you would like to sell one or two or 20 packs of tickets. It's up to you on how many tickets you would like to sell. Donovan will have all the specifics on selling the tickets. And don't forget Field Day coming up on June 22nd, 23rd and 24th. With five groups joining in this year, the combined Field Day is quickly becoming one of the largest Field Day gatherings in Texas. This year it will be held at Duhacsek Park off Old Richmond Road and Voss. The location will give us more than enough room to have a great time. Don't forget to sign up to operate for Field Day. The web site to sign up is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_CoLXpiWzGCTqBPevjCRejNDlf4T4hQYEWmW h2OI6AA/edit?usp=sharing Allen Brier has done a great job on putting together the signup sheet and it is extremely easy. Also, pass the word around for the July meeting. Kyle Brewer, AE5IJ, will be coming by and telling us what is up with the ISS, its radio communications and the status of the amateur radio equipment. Make sure you make it to the July meeting. And it will then be that time again. Time for Ice Cream at the August general meeting. See you there. Mike N5VCX
