Its a brand new BAOFENG dual band handheld radio..
This is not an official Hamfest prize, this is direct to you
from River Oaks Car Stereo..

Everyone that attended the Hamfest got one or more
RED DOOR PRIZE TICKETS

I'm sure some of you that did not win something may
still have some of the little red ticket stubs

Others of you may have thrown them away (darn it)..

This little give away will require your number to match
and the one winner will pick up the prize in person from

I m thinking of a number

Matching one number may be impossible since some of you
threw away your red tickets, so i have a range of numbers
written down and the winner will be the largest number in this range.
I will announce the winner One week from today... Friday
March 31 around NOON

you must present the red ticket to win.

The Goobernet says that a meteor will travel between the moon and the earth

bounce a signal to africa or something.  IDK I am a noob.

Re: [BVARC] Radio Merit Badge Instructors Needed

[M Reiter via BVARC]

I am maybe not qualified only being a ham for 3 months, but I was a scout
leader in the early 80s so add me to a list for a second, I can carry
equipment and such and I am a believer in the scouts, even if they went
bankrupt from legal fees.

I think your best bet is 146.980 tone 103.5 in Devers Texas
When I ran Houston to Lake Charles 3 times a week ( early 2000's ) I could
hit it most times all the way to Lake Charles.
