Re: [BVARC] TOMORROW: Brews with BVARC

[Kori Rahman via BVARC]

Rod,

I just wanted to second what Jeff said. There are many websites that give
you basic algorithms. I think that solving the first layer can be pretty
intuitive and you should shoot for that goal. The second layer is more
complex, and taking a look at algorithms for that you can
quickly understand them. After that, it's going to be a heck of a lot
easier to memorize the algorithms and figure it out in an intuitive way
later. I take about a minute for the standard cube, the best I've done is
about 30 seconds (with a ton of luck). But there are many more shortcuts
and so on to learn and I have been looking into a few myself. Take a look
at the sites Jeff sent and practice with them. One thing that I found
helped was to pop off one of the edge pieces and add a dab of petroleum
jelly inside the cube(helps you move it smoother and faster). After that,
moving up to a "speed cube" shaves a few seconds off. Once you get the
3x3x3 down, you just need a couple more algorithms and you can do a 4x4x4,
after that most bigger ones are not too hard to figure out (just tedious).
I'm currently working on a 7x7x7. Still got a few things to learn, but I've
solved it in a few hours. 1.5 hours on my second try. Practice and develop
muscle memory, you'll get it.

73!

Kori,
Rod Martinez here from VE testing.  Wife Tina (General Class KG5VPB) and I are 
barely able to get 2 faces on our Rubiks Cubes.  You make it look boring at 
last testing.  Do you have any advice, or website we may visit to get past this 
elementary level?
Thx Buddy!73,Rod MartinezNK5Q

[BVARC] August 17, 2023 TDXS Meeting Will Be in Person and ZOOM

[Doug Seyler via BVARC]

Good afternoon!

 

The August 17, 2023 TDXS monthly meeting will be at the Tracy Gee Community
Center, and it will be both in-person and ZOOM. As a reminder, Tracy Gee is
located at 3599 Westcenter Dr., between Richmond Ave. and Westpark Dr. The
meeting will start at 7:00 p.m., as usual, and some may wish to have a
pre-meeting dinner at Pappas BBQ, located at Westheimer and S. Gessner Rd.

 

The program will be presented by Robie Elms AJ4F. His presentation will be
"Obtaining ARRL Awards With QSL Cards." Robie has spent some time delving
into the rather complicated process by which both paper QSL confirmations
and LOTW confirmations are entered into a DXCC Award Record. You may be
surprised by some of the pitfalls.

 

This meeting will be recorded, but please make an effort to attend the live
meeting. 

 

For those who choose to attend via ZOOM, the details are below.

 

Please let me know if you intend to be at Tracy Gee, so I can get a suitable
sized room.

 

Regards,

 

Doug W9LCQ

TDXS Secretary

[BVARC] August meeting zoom link

[Chris Medlin via BVARC]

I checked my email history, the newsletter, and the bvarc website and I don't 
see a zoom link for the general meeting. Is it available yet to share? Maybe I 
jumped the gun by asking for it 29 hours early.:-/


Thanks
