Tickets MUST be purchased in advance either at the box office or, by phone
or online. If you previously contacted me with a desire for tickets, please
understand that unless I win the lottery, I cannot afford to purchase the
tickets and parking.

Ham Radio Night at the Sugar Land Space Cowboys is scheduled for Saturday
September 17th. Use the Coupon Code BVARC22 for purchases. Gates will open
at 4:30PM. There will be a Jose Urquidy bobblehead giveaway that night.
First Pitch is at 6:05PM.  

We are looking for seating in Field Box Sections 7 and 8. You will need to
use their website to pay for your tickets and parking. Ticket Price is $19
each and $5.00 for parking in advance. There is a Processing Fee Per Ticket.
On the day of the game, parking is $10.00. I will be seated in Section 7 Row
G Seat 10.

 

No Cash is accepted anywhere in the ball park, this includes the Galaxy
Gifts and Concessions, so bring a credit or debit card.

 

We will be seated in a shaded area on the First Base side  close to
concessions and restrooms Handicap Accessible seating is available but needs
to be indicated at the time of purchase. 

Should you have problems, please contact Drew at the number below.

The coupon code is created for 9/17. When you go to our website go to the
selected game and enter the coupon code "BVARC22". Also, tell your group to
look at the seat map and choose whichever section you all come to agreement
on. The discounted tickets will be good for sections 6,7,8.

FYI for all;

The below sites offer free analysis of suspicious files and web links:

   (spaces inserted to defang the links)

https :// www.hybrid-analysis.com/
https :// www.virustotal.com/#/home/upload
https :// sitecheck.sucuri.net/

They're not the only ones around, but the first two are my primary resources. 
A file or link might not be malicious, but the behavior of the site can at 
least help you judge whether or not to click on it.


Enjoy.

I don’t know if they are real. I was under the impression that the Reflector 
rejects anything with a link. At least it has when I have tried. So I am

Re: [BVARC] HELP WANTED: Apply within...

[Michael Amos via BVARC]

A VERY large balloon, some helium, a bit of wire, a 9:1 UNUN, radio, and power 
supply.  Great demo on how easy it is.  I've seen this done at a hamfest in 
Atlanta as that very demo

To all,

I am a STEM instructor for both CAP and for local NFPs. The best way to get the 
youth involved, get fliers to the schools, then have projects. Let's do a 
little hands on. Does not need to be put together an IC-7300 but someting 
simple like a antenna, small reciever, even a bit of fabrication on 3d 
printers.  We did the antenna at the Field Day and I found 4 youth that are 
working to get their tech license.

Thank you all

First, nothing changes if you don't try.  Eddie's trying.

Second, I've only been a ham since 2004-ish and for the longest time, I was 
pretty much the youngster at the various club meetings I went to, both in the 
St. Louis area and here in Houston.  I was barely 50 back then.

In the last 5 years, here in Houston and also on the internet, I've noticed a 
lot of younger people joining and itching to participate in the hobby, and even 
better, to participate in the community aspects, like clubs and hamfests.  
Their enthusiasm is wonderful.

Sometimes, that enthusiasm needs tempering.  Someone new and excited doesn't 
have the knowledge of what's been done before, and may overestimate the appeal 
of a new approach to bring people in.  They may even forcefully present a "new" 
idea that has failed many times before.  But at the same time, they need to be 
allowed to enhance our hobby with that energy.  Also, their very youth may help 
us attract and keep more younger members, which is important to keeping the 
organization alive.  Finally, many of those "marketing" people are the younger 
ones.

Let's see if we can all work together and achieve the goals Eddie set for us.
