Re: [BVARC] 2023 Greater Houston HamFest

[Dominic Mazoch via BVARC]

I have these suggestions:

Better on site signage.
Better on site maps, 
List of vendors,
And people working the food booth with more organization and speed.

But I was happy to see some venders with new ham product.  Purchased from ABR 
and HRO.

Will come back

wanted to get this e-mail out now thanking everyone for their great work. 
To get started on the right foot for next GHHF, mark your calendars for the 
"postmortem" which will be held on March 19th at 4 pm. The format (in person or

And mark your calendar for the 2024 GHHF which will be held on March 1st and

Everyone should give themselves a pat on the back for a great job for the 2023

Re: [BVARC] Good Coax?

[Dominic Mazoch via BVARC]

And I get for each of my rigs a 12-18inch M-F coax pigtail.  Takes the tension 
out of the rig's ANT feed.  And much easier to replace the pigtail than a 
connector on the rig.

On the Y FT-2980, a pigtail is really needed because of the tightness of where 
the ANT port is.  It has a protection ring around it.  Seems Y used a Standard 
commercial rig body for the 2980.  But excellent radio overall in quality.

ABR can do custom cables.  And Will Call Mo-Fr.

If it hasn't been shared, here's a great calculator that will give you the feed 
line loss of different cables.  For anything HF, for a run less than 100', I'll 
tell you the standard RG-8X you can get off Amazon will suit you just fine.  
I'm running less than 100W from my 991A into an off-center fed random wire 
inverted V with the peak 30' off the ground, and I'm into every continent but 
Antartica no sweat.  I'm probably putting more energy into the dirt than in the 
air, but if it works, I mean

The calculator will quickly demonstrate for VHF, RG-8X is simply not viable for 
any lengthy run.  UHF- forget it.  You need something fatter, I recommend 
ABR-400, it's a pliable, bendable competitor to LMR-400, though slightly worse 
on attenuation.  You won't know the difference.  ABR has been really good to 
me, they'll treat you really well.

Feed Line Loss Calculator:
https://www.qsl.net/co8tw/Coax_Calculator.htm

Good Coax I'm using on two different HF runs:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008APMTEW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8=1

Picture of my FT-8 propagation in June is attached.  Coax runs of above product 
have been up in direct weather since August of 2020.

So my question is - is their significant cable loss in using the barrel

Maybe the all club idea may work for another reason.  Houston is so ANATHEMA

I can see the spring big meet in Rosenberg.

But for somebody in Conroe, you might as well go to the moon.

Maybe some small meets.  Some on the Northside.  We do have Baytown and Orange

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
   )


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!

Re: [BVARC] New Net! QuestionAIR Net on Tuesdays at 8 PM

[Dominic Mazoch via BVARC]

 Good idea.. Except for one thing. This makes FOUR nets that I can think of 
on THE SAME DAY AT THE SAME TIME.  Is it possible to spread out the start times 
of thse nets over 30 minute intervals?  Or is 2000 dtart time some "rule" out 
there? There has been talk of a "club" of club presidents.  I think this needs 
to be done, and net timing needs to addressed. 73  Dominic Mazoch, N5TCB

BVARC,

 

Charlotte (KI5TRQ) and Henry (K5HRP) of the Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club
are starting a new net called the QuestionAIR Net.

This net will be hosted every Tuesday at 8 PM on the 146.94 repeater (PL
Tone 167.9, - shift). It is open to any and all hams in the Greater Houston
area. 

 

The goal of the QuestionAIR net is to ask random and thought-provoking
questions, to get fun and laid-back conversations started among hams! The
first net will be hosted by Henry on this upcoming Tuesday, May 17, so mark
your calendars! Charlotte will be hosting the following week.

 

We're excited for this net and hope to hear you check in!

Congratulations on the TS2000. I've had one for over 10 years now and am 
extremely happy with it.  My original antenna was a G5RV-Jr in the back yard in 
Cypress.  It was only noticed once, by a fellow ham who coincidentally was at 
the front door with his daughter selling Girls Scout cookies.  I'm in Richmond 
now in a brand new subdivision without any trees yet. I have a Hustler 6-BTV 
and have painted it black and mounted a flag on it. I've had it about 1 year 
now and haven't had any comments yet from an HOA. I did apply for permission to 
have the flag pole. Sheree WM5N

 I will suggest an antenna for HF (80 thru 6 meters).  I have the Buckmaster 
OCF Dipole.  There are several models covering from 160 thru 6 meters, both low 
and high power.  They are high quality, designed to last many years, so are 
higher price than others.
If you decide to run more than 100 watts, I recommend an RF choke at both ends 
of the feed line.  I run up to 1500 watts and have good results with the 
Palomar Engineers Maxi-Choker MC-1-3000.

Re: [BVARC] Newbie's first HF radio

[Dominic Mazoch via BVARC]

6 or 10 to 80 would suit your needs.  160 ia a ham band, but one needs the King 
Ranch for an antenna.

By the time you pay for the one band rig, something like the 718 or even the 
7300 comes into play.

On HF, DO NOT RUSH TO BUY.  ASK.  LOOK AROUND. ASK OTHER HAMS IF YOU CAN SEE 
THEIR RIGS. BE CV19 AWARE

Ditto on the single band radio.

Belton Hamfest is October 2nd.

Black Friday is in November.

Pick your top 2 radios and go shopping.

Your antenna may be the bigger hurdle.

Re: [BVARC] POTA rigs?

[Dominic Mazoch via BVARC]

The old Icom 703 is good.  Used it during Uri Ice Storm.  Could get into DFW on 
7290.  Easy on battery.  And has ant. impedence tuner.  Size of the 706 series. 
 But I think it is more sturdy platform than the 705.

If I need more power, can use an Italian amp and LDG tuner.  If I can make 
contact on QRP, I can.  If not, I can add power.

The disadvantage is having the amp and extra tuner and 2 short coax cables.  
Plus 703 is out of production.

Advantages ate being modular, and the 703 sips power not transmitting

Dominic,

How does one get involved with the Elissa for MSWE?  I won’t be able to do 
anything this year, but would like to next year.

[BVARC] Another ship for MSWE in the Galveston Area.

[Dominic Mazoch via BVARC]

OK, good news

There will be a 4th ship on and near the Island that wil be on the air for MSWE.

N5E ELISSA will be on the air during daylight only Sat and Sun.  We plan to be 
on 40 and 20.

Should there be some 2m freq the TX City, BVARC and ELISSA teams can use to 
prevent interference?

Also my plans have changed.  Come down Friday, help set up at Seawolf.  Sleep 
on sub.  Leave about 8AM to activate N5E.  Teturn and repeat Sat to Sunday 
morning.

73.  And hopr HF opens up.

 OK, I never heard from you about "a chat" but I guess we have more time now.
FYI, Priss is having a hip replacement on June 1.  So I can probably go there 
Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday for a while, but regretfully I'm sure I won't be 
able to pull a 48 hour shift.  This is a personal let down for me as MSWE is 
possibly my favorite ham event of the year.
I see that MSWE is up to 62 ships and climbing.  Fantastic!
Looks like Mike Monsour isn't manning a TX City Memorial as Tidelands has it.  
Has he expressed interest in being active with BVARC?
Call anytime if you wish.  Otherwise, I'll look for your rescheduled meeting 
time/date.
Tnx es 73de John, K5IZO

Re: [BVARC] Field Day is NOT a...........

[Dominic Mazoch via BVARC]

Even the ARRL calls it an operating event.

[BVARC] That's it.....

[Dominic Mazoch via BVARC]

If you wonder why why I'm not on any list...yet, it is simple.  I'm taking care 
of a 86 year old relative.  In relative good ship AS OF NOW.  However, somebody 
at that age could go south at any moment.  I don't commit to something I might 
have to back out on.  Job and family before hobbies. Might sound old fashioned, 
but.

Anyway, I do live near the original Gallery Furniture, hence anything in the 
90A corridor is a bit distant.  Hence I cannot come to most events.

But I am really concerned that when somebody has an idea about something, which 
does not violate any federal, state local or club rules, and it challenges 
people, people want to shut it down.

Hence:

1.  I was planning to come after Saturday church to come to the site, and stay 
and help until tear down on Sunday PM.  Well, that is not coming.
2.  My membership is coming due.  To keep peace, and to lower blood pressures, 
I am not renewing.  Please take me off the club roster as of now.

Except for any e-mail from the President of the club, I will not answer.  

Thank you.

[BVARC] Field Day

[Dominic Mazoch via BVARC]

I think there should be a change for FD.  I know you get points for being in a 
public place.  But I think the change should be for 1 point for each non-ham 
visitors, even if he/she does not operate the GOTA station.  Then again, that 
might mean having to set up at US59/I69 in those big shipping centers where it 
goes under the BNSF Railway..
