We will be onsite operating from the state historic site east of Sealy, nestled up to the Brazos River on FM 1458.

If you haven't done any HF operating, club members will be there to show you how (it's easy).  It is also an opportunity to celebrate some Texas history, and to support the San Felipe de Austin State Historic Site.  They will appreciate having more visitors, and there are many interesting exhibits onsite.

We will have portable shelters set up (so there will be shade, and we'll have some bottled water as well).  Also, the visitor center is air conditioned, so you will be able to escape the heat.
