[BVARC] Parks On The Air @ Brazos Bend State Park 10/16/202

[Kori Rahman via BVARC]

All,

Anthony (W5LIC) and I (Kori, WX5KR) will once again be going to Brazos Bend
State Park this Sunday (*October 16th*) doing Parks On The AIr (POTA),
We've discussed this on the air this week and I want 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 October 16th 2022, 3pm-7pm*
*Brazos Bend State Park*

*21901 FM 762Needville, TX 77461*

As before, if you can't make this event, there will be more to come. It's a
lot of fun, and we hope to see you out there Sunday or any other time we're
out at the parks.

Thanks and 73!

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,

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

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!
