BVARC LIFE MEMBERI first came to BVARC in the 80s before I became a ham, the 
meetings were upstairsin an old firestation on hwy 6 which probably no longer 
exists.. The members encouragedme and I took my first test (with code back 
then) at the Strake high school with Harold ND5F (SK)and Ray Dillard (WA5F) and 
those guys.. wow  some great memories... though the years ..
I have tried so many aspects of ham radio from Fast scan and slow scan TV to 
crossband,1.2 ghz handie talkies, mobile rigs, HF rigs (lots of HF rigs) 
...Yaesu, Kenwood, Icom. Flex radio.A bazillion antennas over the years,Packet 
radio (we used to have a local packet chatroom using 2 meter frequencies 
simplex)Bvarc used to put on Saturday FOX hunts, Frostys sidewalk sales in 
Alief and later onMurphy road, We used APRS, RTTY, PSK31, and now FT8 is a 
kick!!  IRLP nodes, The ham radio balloons  we got seriously into for several 
years.. Field days,  Museum ships,and more I can not even think of.. Helping 
folks and loving the folks that help me...
IN fact, to boil it down, the fellowship, friends, the amazing folks that have 
been (SKs) or are currently associated with BVARC are why i love the club...

reason why you are a member.    One, at least, more if you wish.   "I belong to 
BVARC because ........................................."    
I am interested in the various reasons we belong to a Ham Radio Club.  I will 
not taint your response with my reason.   
This is a simple, constructive exercise on my part generating fodder for The
