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 22^nd , 23^rd and 24^th .
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:

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.
