Good afternoon all. This evening on 40m at 8pm I will attempt to make contact
with whomever answers my call. I am camping at the park and with good band
conditions I am planing to have a little rag chew on or near 7.265 assuming the
frequency is available. I will send another email once I have claimed a
frequency. Look forward to chatting with you on the long wire.

Hello all,
Here's another reminder that we will be going to Brazos Bend State Park this
Sunday February 25th doing Parks On The AIr (POTA). If you're interested in
participating or just hanging out with us, we're asking folks to come by
between 10am and 5pm. If you'd like to help set up you are welcome to come a
little early. We will be located at the far end of the Elm Lake part of the
park. Call us on 146.520 MHz simplex if you would like to reach out to us while
in the park for directions.
One more reminder: There will be a pre-POTA net on 40m run by Sean N5LNK who
will be NCS for the net. The approximate frequency for the net will be 7.265
MHz (this will vary so please turn your VFO if you don't hear them there) at
8pm local time on Saturday February 24th (tomorrow).
The important details:
- Park access is $7. Ask for a day use area pass.
- IF you have a Texas State Park Pass, then admission for the day is FREE.
- We will have about 4 HF radios (40m, 20m, 15m, 10m, and possibly 17m or
80m) that you can use if you don't have your own. So all you need to bring is
yourself, some water, and maybe some snacks.
- If you'd like to bring your own radio, we have a few antennas you can use
and the appropriate filters. But again, you don't need to bring any equipment.
- Technician class licensees ARE WELCOME! You CAN operate the stations on
ALL HF bands that are available and get POTA credit for contacts you make. You
will be required to use the call sign of the club or any other operator on-site
with the appropriate band privileges (ask me or Anthony W5LIC for details upon
arrival).
- If you're a Tech class license holder and would like to operate on 10m you
may do so under your own call sign if the station is open (10m band conditions
have been quite favorable lately).
- Of course, you do not have to operate the radios, you can just come out
for a fun time with your fellow hams.
- 10 contacts are all that are required to "activate" the park. You can log
with paper, or with any apps you prefer (we recommend the HAMRS App).
- Sign up on the POTA.app website to upload your logs after the event.
When:Sunday February 25th 202410am - 5pm
Where:Brazos Bend State Park21901 FM 762
Needville, TX 77461
If you've been curious about trying CW, FT8, or Winlink (VARA HF, 2m Packet
etc.) we will have those as optional modes you can try. If you can't make this
event, Anthony and I will be doing an event ourselves in April. It's a lot of
fun, and we hope to see you out there this Sunday or any other time we're out
at the parks. Contact me or Anthony (W5LIC) if you have any questions about
this event.
Thanks and 73!
