I am copying this email train to the BVARC reflector for information in the event it is not already available.
Chris Simonton W5TXS is working with Walter Holmes K5WH to conduct a program for the Boy Scouts. This notice has been on the NARS reflector for a couple of weeks. The event is tomorrow, Saturday, and the details are given below. Phone numbers for anyone who may have questions: Chris 713-502-7067 Walter 281-543-6502 I know they are still open to volunteers. From the looks of things, this should be pretty well attended.
