There's a potentially nasty hurricane outlook. Maybe this was our warning?

 I hope everyone is well. The following email contains my personal
 observations, which unfortunately lean towards a negative aspect.

 Yesterday, we encountered the effects of inclement weather. I was
 curious about the response of our dedicated emergency Ham radio Operators,
 who annually invest their time and effort in training for such situations.

 I understand during storms, it's crucial to disconnect antennas, either
 before or after the event. I didn't notice any activity on the radio during
 this time eighteen before or after. I tuned in to some net in Alabama and
 Florida, where they were actively discussing and preparing for the weather;
 Dallas also seemed to have a few emergency net in place yesterday.

 A week ago, during a "stir crazy net," someone mentioned that during
 previous hurricane events, there was little to no activity from the Ham
 radio emergency group/team.

 Here are some questions to consider:

 - Should our approach be reactive or proactive?
 - When is it appropriate for the Ham radio emergency responders to be
 activated?
 - Are all members of the Emergency Ham radio group in Fort Bend or
 Harris County physically capable of assisting when needed?
 - Should we consider collaborating with other Ham radio organizations,
 such as those in Florida, to glean insights from their experiences?

 And there could be additional questions to explore.

 I don't intend for this to prompt rude or sarcastic responses. Given
 that we are in Houston, and with the upcoming hurricane season predicted to
 be quite active and unique, I've shared a lot of relevant data on my
 Weather Facebook page.

 Does BVARC have a dedicated emergency response team to assist
 communities in need?

 These are just observations, with safety in mind.

Why would I do a repair if I can pay someone else to? Hopefully others will
utilize my expertise for their needs even if they can do the work for

Hello BRAZOS,

I want to install a camera on my balcony to deter theft of my portable
inverter during a potential power failure & for the neighbors who won't
clean up after their pooch.  Any suggestions? I don't want a paid fancy

[BVARC] Dstar/1st Radio Questions

2020-04-16 Thread Ameenah007 via BVARC 
Hello BVARC,

I'm looking at the Kenwood TH-D74A for my first radio.  Is DStar a good
choice in Houston?  Are DStar repeaters in the Westchase area of Houston or
do I need a Hotspot, and if so which one would you all recommend?  Is there
anything I should know about this radio before I buy it?

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can offer.  73
