Re: [BVARC] From Fox News - Pelican Island Bridge in Galveston struck by barge, causing portion to collapse: officials

[Dwayne Jones via BVARC]

Looking at google maps the railway section may have been gone before the
barge strike. Zoom in on the area and go to photo mode.

[BVARC] Brazos Bend State Park

[Dwayne Jones via BVARC]

Got notice today that Brazos Bend State Park will start closing today due
to high water from the Brazos River. Right now the park service is saying
closed for 6 days. But if there is major damage of course it could be
longer.

[BVARC] Banquet speaker

[Dwayne Jones via BVARC]

NOW a new topic to discuss. Banquet Speaker.

I feel that if you are going to have a speaker for the banquet that the
speaker should appeal to all.

If you were to have a speaker come in and talk only about ham radio that
may not be interesting enough for the non hams that are attending ( wives,
dates, non hams ) .

In the past at the banquet there have been some good speakers with neat
presentations . The one that sticks in my mind was Ron Litt's wife. She did
a presentation from the wife's point of view of HAM radio. BTW it was funny.

So in closing to  those that are putting together the banquet please
consider a speaker that will appeal to most of the attendees.

[BVARC] Field day

[Dwayne Jones via BVARC]

What was you favorite part of field day 2023? For me it was the great great
job the food crew did. Way better then the catered meals we had in the
past. Second would be the antenna group. Without them no one would have
talked to anyone else.

Re: [BVARC] For sale of Jeep wheels

[Dwayne Jones via BVARC]

I would rather buy stuff from other hams ( radio gear or otherwise ) than
someone on Craigslist.  At least here most are honest. And less chance of
getting shot.

Re: [BVARC] Repeaters

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.

[BVARC] Christmas at Brazos Bend

[Dwayne Jones via BVARC]

Please note the author at the bottom of the poem.
I did not write this. Dwayne KB5YTA

T’WAS  THE NIGHT  BEFORE  CHRISTMAS AT  BRAZOS  BEND



T’was  the night before Christmas at Brazos Bend Park,

all the creatures were stirring,  soon after dark.

The Gators were nestled, all snug in their dens,

to avoid foul weather and December’s cold winds,

With the fire getting low and just about out,

I slid into my bag, and quickly passed out.

When up from the creek there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from my tent to see what was the matter.

Off toward the creek,  I started to hike,

Through the bushes and briars and brambles like.

By the light of the moon, I could see where to go,

It lit up an object, in the creek down below,

I saw what it was with a lump in my throat,

It was eight alligators, pulling a flat bottom boat,

With a jolly fat man in red overalls,

I knew in an instant it was old Santa Claus.

More rapid than otters, his gators they came,

And he whistled and hollered and called them by name,

“Now Stimpie,  Now Stumpie,

Now Bumpie,  and Cruiser,

On Tanker,  On Tonka,

On Bonker,  and Bruiser,

To the edge of the creek and on up the draw,

Pull it up,  Pull it up,  Pull it up,  Ye Haw!!”.

So up to the campsite, making all sorts of noise,

Came old Santa Claus, with a boat full of toys.

He was dressed all in red, with a big cowboy hat,

and mud on his pants that had splittered and splat,

The beard on his chin was as white as a goose,

And his tummy so fat, t’was bout to bust loose.

He set out the toys by the light of the moon,

Why, I think he even had toys for the coons,

He put out some toys in each campsite,

Then off to the next one,  in the dark of night.

He finished most quickly,  all 90 campsites,

By the time he returned,  his bag was quite light.

He jumped in his boat and called to his gators,

Smiled back at me and yelled, “See ya’ll later,

I’ve got a busy night, with many stops to make,

So I better keep moving,

Cross river and lake”,

But I heard him holler as he floated away,

“Merry Christmas to all, and enjoy your stay”.

Just got off the phone with George, K5JIN. The special show and drive-in
show for Wings over Houston has been called off for Friday. There will be
no need for volunteers on Friday.

To be clear the show and the need for volunteers for Saturday and Sunday is

I have used this headset at the Airshow the last 2 years.

it with a Kenwood handi talkie. Even when the jet teams are performing I
can key up and be heard well.

Re: [BVARC] Saturday January 23rd - Multipurpose activity and training session

[Dwayne Jones via BVARC]

So he is teaching how to program with a computer. Lets say you are working
a public service event. You preprogamed your radio with the computer before
showing up. Then at the last second the event has to change frequencies.
Would it not be best to know how to program your radio by hand also?

[Dwayne Jones via BVARC]

I double checked this morning just to make sure. The tall towers on Zavala

Re: [BVARC] Sugar Land, TX Area Shopping Options List During Coronavirus Emergency

As you know liquor stores are still open that means that a couple of the
local craft brewers in the Sugarland/Richmond are open too.
Texas Leaguer Brewery https://www.facebook.com/txleaguer/  or
https://txleaguer.com/
Fullbrook Ale Works  https://www.facebook.com/Fulbrookaleworks/  or

Dont forget to check on your favorite restaurant. They maybe open and ready
for take out orders. I am sure if they know you they would like to see you.

Re: [BVARC] KK5NU, John Wright Moore

[Dwayne Jones via BVARC]

I copied this from Chron.com.

John Wright Moore, III
1937-2018
John Wright Moore III, 80, died on January 19, 2018. He was preceded in
death by his parents, John Wright Moore II and Juliette Marie Loustaunau
Moore, his brother Thomas Walton Moore, his son John Wright Moore IV, and
daughter, Juliette Moore Lofft. He is survived by his wife of 20 years, Ann
Marie Schaer; his daughter Josephine (Jodi) Moore; granddaughter Tamsin
Elizabeth Moore Howell; and grandsons Frank Eric Cimrhanzel, Aidan
Christopher Lofft and Liam Andrew Lofft.
Although born in Dallas, John considered himself a Houstonian, as his
family moved here when he was in preschool. He graduated from San Jacinto
High School and received his BS degree from Texas A University

in
1959. He earned his JD at South Texas College of Law in 1963. After
practicing law for several years he became a Certified Professional
Landman, a career which lasted more than 30 years.
He was a man of many interests. He held the highest class of amateur radio
license, and was a volunteer examiner for HAM radio testing for many years.
He also held a commercial broadcaster's license, a private pilot's license,
and a commercial driver's license with hazardous materials certification.
He and his wife enjoyed HAM radios, building computers and gardening
together.
Among his many friends he was known for his independence, intelligence and
loyalty.
After a private family burial in La Grange, TX, we welcome friends and
family to a memorial service in celebration of his life this Friday,
January 26th at 1pm at the Unitarian Fellowship of Houston, 1504 Wirt Road.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Houston Hospice or a .
