Eric and all else interested in our Discord, The BVARC Discord is used for a few different things. First let me explain the format. We have several different "Channels" which are essentially chatrooms specialized to different topics. Some of those channels include: "General" for general conversation among our members, "local-nets" for discussion or follow up on our nets, "equipment-sales" for posting equipment for sale and to ask if anyone has a particular item, "parks-on-the-air" for discussion about POTA and about our monthly POTA events. Discord is generally accessed via the "Discord" app, but can also be accessed via the Windows or Mac program available on their website Discord.com, or directly in your computer browser.
To join our Discord "Server", first download the app from your app store. Create an account (you can use our format "Name - Call Sign", or use any username you want and just let me know when you first logon by posting a message with your name and call sign and I will change it for our server so everyone knows who you are. Once you have the app installed and an account created, follow this link <https://discord.com/invite/kwVGeXM7UH> on your phone (or computer if you are logged in via the PC or Mac program). That link again is: https://discord.com/invite/kwVGeXM7UH That's about it. I will see what I can do to get the word out. BVARC has lots and lots of events coming up, so everyone stay tuned on all our platforms (Facebook group, email reflector, and Discord). BVARC POTA on March 26th at Galveston Island State Park is a big one coming up! Thanks and 73!
