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 - 5pmWhere:Brazos Bend State Park21901 FM 762Needville, TX 77461If 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.

Just to get my two cents on Richard’s email Richard is right there’s a lot of 
people that got a lot of hurt feelings in this club and ideas if they think 
should be seen but if everybody just gets mad and bitches and complains that 
nothing gets done so we need to find some sort of compromise to where everybody 
can come together and work together because there’s plenty enough talent in 
this club that we could do amazing things if we all just work together

If anyone has some scrap laying around they're willing to let go of I would be grateful. If the coax has one or no connectors that's fine, i only need one end with a pl259 and the other bare and can attach my own if needed. 


I'll come to you or meet wherever. 


Also is there some place local that sells decent quality coax? It's a bummer trying to get this stuff shipped and I would prefer to shop local when I can.

I'm looking for some advice on a antenna project that I'm working on. My
question is is it better to have your Balun at the base of the antenna or
at the feed point of your antenna elements? Second question is what is
better in in fed or a fan dipole?

Re: [BVARC] Lightning Strike Prevention

2021-05-29 Thread Michael Shanks via BVARC

The best lighting protection was the 5 bucks I spent on my membership in
BVARC. As a new ham the amount of information that all the members have
passed along has been great. My education of of this great hobby has been
expanded and improve. I want to thank all the members of BVARC for the
willingness to help us newbees and others to become better hams. Looking
forward to many years of membership in BVARC the best largest ham club in
Texas.
