Re: [BVARC] Changes to the POTA Event
I think BVARC is a great ham radio club and has been for many decades. I became involved with as a Novice since about 1984. A lot of members have done a lot of hard work to strengthen and promote our hobby. As far as I know, I'm not upset with any of our members. CQ DX!

This means we are inviting every club in the city of Houston and beyond. We are looking into a way to let everyone know when and where we are going to do the event. For now February the 25th is the last BVARC sponsored POTA Event. We are looking at doing it six times out of the year. Times will be determined by the event managers.

Re: [BVARC] Changes to the POTA Event
So Anthony, TO MAKE THIS CLEAR...the Board did approve you a POTA budget of $1000 a year. BUT THATS NOT WHY you want to cut the cord between POTA and BVARC... Now I seem to understand it was being disrespected by some members of the Board of Directors.. Most of thought is was about the money... I SEE NOW..

There are many reasons why we are doing the events without BVARC and we talked about this during WFD. I agree we need to try to be more professional as operators. That goes for all of us.

Re: [BVARC] Changes to the POTA Event
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 Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 1, 2024, at 11:14 AM, Stephen Flowers via BVARC > wrote: > > Hey Rudy, > Good morning.

Re: [BVARC] Changes to the POTA Event
OK - I have sat quiet... As a BVARC member, I have worked to welcome everyone. Even the strangest of us. I have recently heard issues and quickly went to talk to take care of them. I hope that those who I have been working with are in agreement. I invite anyone that disagrees to please call and tell me, I will do my best to fix that. I have even heard bashing about me because people did not know the entire story and thought they were bashing one person and actually slamming me and knowing why what was happening. I have talked to a few people and found that the grumbling is either a misunderstanding or 2 views of the same story and not seeing each other's perspective. Eddy, if you like - please feel free to call me, as a matter of fact, I have a few questions to ask you also. NOTE TO ALL! This is NOT meant as me asking Eddy in a MEAN way, I am wanting to talk to Eddy as a member and I consider, after working with him last year at Hamfest, a friend. I hope that is true with him in return and we as a team can get through a few questionable requests. If it does not -- trust me, I am not going to slam him on the board. Also, for those that have served in the Military and Para-military, the phrase, "Praise in public, punish in private." should mean something. I am doing this as an example member, please, if you have an issue with a member (My other brother and sister radio operators) talk to them. If that does not work, get another person (Not a mob) to help work with them. Some day, we may need eachother weather on the radio or in life. Our common interest should be what brings us together. And as for being example members, let me bring to your attention, we have youth in this system too. Example, KI5IOC He has been around and with BVARC for 15 years. He was 3 the first time he spent an entire night sleeping at the fire fields. From there, he got interested in the radios and was with the group. We have a few SKs that took his hand and yanked him in. Now from their example, he is trying to get his General and be a senior in High School and get ready for a far away college. So let's set a good example of a world where when we are too old to bark, we want to be. I have not been able to get to the farmer's market due to family issues, but I am trying to go and get more youth interested. I remember a time when we used to have field day out at the fire field and we were happy to have lunch at the sametime and sit at the table eating burgers, dogs, chips, and various desserts. Conversation was ALWAYS about family, radios, what our homebrew project was, and who was a bigger nerd. Let's get back to that. (Well.. as a proof read, Daphne and team, don't stop the nice food array we have had so far.. I need to keep my Dad Bod Image up... and it helps a lot when it is really good..) I am going to start a new BVARC challenge, TicToc influenced, go bury a hatchet with someone and let's get back to what we once were. If you have an issue with anyone, PATCH IT, and POST THAT Also, if you see two people having an issue, don't take sides and see if you can compromise. And once again POST THAT!!! For all - remember, when all hell breaks loose, we as radio operators are expected to be the voice of the world, we can not do that if we are not talking to each other.. If anyone has an issue with what I just wrote, feel free to call me and tell me -- I am open.. If you feel like bashing me here -- fine too -- I will take the hire road and not return fire. (I turn the other cheek many times - gives the other one a rest) And for all of those who said to not get involved, sorry, these are my friends and neighbors, I am not going to sit silently as I watch people be bashed and exiled. All, have a happy rest of your day and "This is KG5YCU for ID , Over and Out , 30 - 73" :) P.S. Eddy, I am writing this from your reply just because I need to talk to you too. nothing else.

Re: [BVARC] Changes to the POTA Event
I must say that POTA is what drove me to buy the HF gear I have now, POTA was the driving force for me to join this club. Also if I drag my radio, battery, computer out to a park, you bet I'm going to use my call on my gear.

Re: [BVARC] Changes to the POTA Event
Im sorry to hear that .. I think POTA is amazing and fills so many blanks for BVARC and the Ham radio community... 1) can you ever beat a beautiful day in the park2) be a catch (cause a pileup) 3) Afternoon with some great friends4) opportunity to welcome new folks to HAM and to BVARC.. Suzanne and I bought BVARC banners and other stuff out of our own pocketsto help bring the POTA MASTERS in as a BVARC EVENT.. All has been workinggreat as far as I knew.. I have posted on this before I think, but again at the last BOARD meeting there wassome questions about using the club call, about illegal operations and otherquestions a board member(s) posed.. even though the board didset a budget to help POTA .. the masters felt disrespected and .. well The POTA MASTERS got butt hurt... I dont blame them, they dont use BVARC equipment, they use their own radios(and other volunteer radios).. Like I said before, BVARC NEEDS POTA, more then POTA needs BVARC.POTA is super popular, I think our board members and especially our PRESIDENTneeds to be kissin some POTA A*S...!! These POTA guys are SUPERSTARS! BVARC needs to make this a priority.. If you do not agree or do not understand POTA please GO TO POTA EVENT.. it is true ham radio at its finest.. I ask our board to REALIZE how important this is,buy a couple POTA radios, really make it a BVARC EVENT support these guys.. And I ask our POTA MASTERS to take the stupid abuse for a minute and forgive the MORONS that hurt your feelings and lets have some fun.. Eddie Runner (NU5K)in the last year a lot of folks seem to get hurt feelings.. WISE UP BOD..we need to welcome folks not run them off.. Hello all, I am writing this message to let everybody know about the changes we are making to the BVARC POTA Event. We will no longer be running the event as a BVARC (Brazos Valley Armature Radio Club) affiliated one. We will not be doing it every month. We will however still do the event for the city. This means we are inviting every club in the city of Houston and beyond. We are looking into a way to let everyone know when and where we are going to do the event. For now February the 25th is the last BVARC sponsored POTA Event. We are looking at doing it six times out of the year. Times will be determined by the event managers. More info to come on the upcoming events and where to find us.

Not that I object, but why are you doing this?
