Our club has been invited to participate with the Katy Amateur Radio Society, who will be operating at a site east of the Brazos near FM 529. This will be a great opportunity for meeting, working and socializing with our fellow hams. The KARS folks will have food, soft drinks and water on site as well as rest rooms. You can stop by for a short visit or stay for the whole event. Gary KF5ZRT and I are planning to operate Saturday afternoon with our W5SFA club call, Gary on FT8 and myself on 2m SSB and 6m SSB and FM. Let me know if you would like to operate so we can coordinate this with the KARS folks. This is a great opportunity to operate as a club and also to see different rigs and antennas in use, as well as getting on the air. It's very much a social event, so don't feel obligated to set up a rig, just visit and see what's going on - or you can operate one of the stations we'll have set up. More information will be forthcoming as the date gets closer. We will finalize arrangements at the June club meeting on the 24th. In the meantime, let me know if any questions. 73, Roger N5RWK Sent with [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/mail/home) secure email. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The address is on the attached flyer. If coming from downtown Bellville or Burleigh, I suggest you drive out east on FM 529 and work you way up to FM 1887. From the Cochran/Buckhorn area, it may be easier to go east on Hwy 159 to FM 3346 and then right on FM 1887. Of course, there's always GPS to really get you lost in a hurry. Anyone from Sealy??? > Our plans are starting to come together. This is a new venture for us. In the past, we would join in with another club from Harris County. It is our intent to be business like with the contesting aspect, yet to be laid back and have great fellowship in the spirit of the hobby as well. I will forward you another email that's requesting some info about the gear you're bringing so that we don't all end up on say meters for example. > KARS can't wait to team up with you all. > > 73, > Brian AF5IT -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
