I cannot come But the Oaf Forest ARC will be doing FD/POTA at the same park. Can send details.
I think this park and SL parks are within 2m Simplex. Maybe a freq so both groups are not crashing into each other on FD. If not Simplex, the .94. but that does not count as a contact 73, Dominic Mazoch N5TCB Please note: message attached From: Kori Rahman via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB <bvarc@bvarc.org> Cc: Kori Rahman <kori...@gmail.com> Subject: [BVARC] Parks On The Air @ Brazos Bend State Park Date: Sat, 4 Jun 2022 22:37:30 -0500
All, Anthony (W5LIC) and I (Kori, WX5KR) will be going to Brazos Bend State Park tomorrow (*Sunday June 5th*) doing Parks On The AIr (POTA), I know we've shared this on the air, but I wanted to formally invite anyone who is interested to come by. We've had several inquiries about visiting with us, so if you have time please come by between *3pm and 7pm*. We will probably be set up in the Elm Lake part of the park. We will be on *146.520 MHz simplex* if you would like to reach out to us while in the park for directions. Some 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*. - You can operate with a Technician class license on 10m, however 10m is very spotty so be aware of that. - We will have at least 3 HF radios 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. - 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 <http://hamrs.app>) Again it's tomorrow June 5th 2022, 3pm-7pm Brazos Bend State Park 21901 FM 762 Needville, TX 77461 Apologies for the late notice. This will *NOT *be the last email about POTA. We plan on doing this more in the coming months to give our fellow hams a chance to activate the park with us, learn about POTA, and how we operate. It's a lot of fun, and we hope to see you out there tomorrow or any other time we're out at the parks. Thanks and 73! *- Kori, WX5KR*
