It's Time for a Field Trip!
The club has had a few field trips over the years - Frosty's ham station at his school, Fort Bend County Emergency Operations Center and Channel 39 transmitter site. Unfortunately, it's been way too long since the last one. So..it's time for another field trip for the club. Due to the schedule at the Sugar Land Recreational Center, our normal meeting time was taken for October. With a need for a meeting space and topic, it was decided on a field trip for the club. So, for the October 10th meeting the club will be meeting at Transtar in Houston. A tour has been set-up for the club to walk-through the facility and see the main operations floor (where all the video monitors are), the Emergency Operations Center and the amateur radio room. The ECHO Society will be joining us for the tour and KARS and TDXS have been invited so it should a great turnout. The schedule for the field trip will be; 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm Dinner at Pizzitolas BBQ, 1703 Shepherd, 77007 (for people that would like to get together for dinner. If not, go a little later for the tour) 7:00 pm to 7:30 pm Check-in at Transtar, 6922 Katy Rd, Houston, TX 77024 You will need to check in with Ben Gillis at the front of Transtar 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm Transtar Facility Tour (Times are approximates) Tour will consist of the main floor, EOC, and the amateur radio room. Due to time constraints, no one will be able to operate from the amateur radio room. So get your walking shoes on and come on out for the Transtar tour. If you have the time, come on by Pizzitolas BBQ for dinner. Hope to see everyone there. 73, Mike Hardwick, N5VCX President Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club 713-826-6917
