[W5SFA] Reminder: Club Meeting Tomorrow Night

Wed Apr 27 08:11:16 CDT 2016

We finally have a place to live while the house is being gutted, that starts
tomorrow supposedly. (having somewhere to live on our property due to
animals was a must)  Everything inside was a total loss, was able to not
lose my radio/amp/laptops/desk top. All else was lost though. They are
estimating about 2 months before we will be able to move back in.  We have
an rv that we hope will be able to get on our property today and that's here
we live till things are done. Right now we are having to go thru and
document, photo every single item lost. We cant just take a photo of a group
of things, has to be each item. We a little concerned because we don't know
what fema is going to say is the cost to repair, replace ect and they are
the ones that control ALL flood things.  Hers a nother bit of good handy
info to pass along, fema issued to all insurance agencies here in TX they
"will not" be reimbursing nor will cover any loss of use of your home. SO if
you have your family in a hotel or some living place that cost you, you will
not be reimbursed.  That was told to us by state farm and verified by a
friend of mine that got flooded as well from his ins company.  Generac
finally came out and fixed our total home generator that DID NOT work when
we got hit by lightning in last weeks storm. But guess what???? We got hit
again this morning and lost power AGAIN !!!!  Thank the Lord though the
generator worked this go round.  As for help, I honestly don't know what we
need at the moment. I ended up stopping work for a while yesterday between
my own shop work and doing inventory and removing crap from the house to mow
the yard so when Debbie got home from work she would have some since or
normalness when coming into the driveway. She is about to hit her breaking
point so I had to do something to ease some stress even if its just mowing
the yard (what could be mowed with the mud ect).  So forward we move as best
we can.

Have a blessed day,

W5SFA Members,

Our April club meeting is tomorrow night at Yani's Steak House in Bellville.
Dinner at 6, Meeting at 7.

A couple of notes:

- At the last meeting, Kat Croker noted that our checking account balance
has dropped below $1,500, so we are incurring a monthly fee.  If we can get
the balance back up over $1,500 we can save a few bucks.  To that end,
please consider renewing your membership dues a little early this year.  So
if you can, bring a check to tomorrow night's meeting.

- "Build Night" is scheduled for next month, Wednesday, May 25 from 6-9 pm
in the Courthouse basement.  We are officially reserved, thanks to Ray
Chislett W5RAC.   Build Night will take the place of our normal meeting at
Yani's.   Is there interest in getting a bunch of pizzas, and we can eat at
the courthouse?

- For Build Night - you don't have to be an electronics whiz, or even have a
project - just come and see what others are doing.  But if you do want to
build something, there will be a lot of expertise in the room to help out if
you need it.  Also, if you are looking for a kit to build, there are tons
available - follow this search link
<https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#
q=ham%20radio%20kits%20to%20build>  and it should give you some ideas.

- The results for the Texas QSO Party are now posted online.  See
http://www.n5bia.net/txqp/index.php/2014-03-17-17-48-02/2014-03-21-16-32-14
Our score was 28,397 (see page 16).  We came out 20th out of 27 clubs - not
bad, but I think we can improve our score this year!

73,

Roger N5RWK
