 You have my prayers.  Please focus on family at this time.
My own daughter spent over a year in that Texas Children's neonatal ICU.  
It is the best around and with prayers I'm sure she will pull through.

Facebook Groups you are a member of or that will allow you to post on

Online forum sites

Include other groups that could share amateur radio activity's such as

Attached are two Houston Hamfest fliers, one is a PDF version and the
2nd is a JPG version. They are the same, other then the format.
Facebook posts will work better with the jpg version, while PDF

YOU can make the Greater Houston Hamfest even more successful by just

It was hard work, both physically, and emotionally. A lot of passionate 
planning  from many folks that really care for the last 6 months. There were 
some veteran planners among us And a lot of new hams working with us  that had 
never been to a hamfest at all.  This gave us a huge range of new ideas and 
talent.

Some of us knew we could easily do a hamfest because we have done it 19 times 
before, “lets just do what we have always done”,  but a few of us wanted to see 
it grow and improve. A few of us were very concerned about the budget, ALL of 
us knew  it would be taking a big chance expanding the budget to do a TWO DAY 
SHOW.
Will anyone even come on a Friday?

Setup on Thursday was tough, but thanks to Mr. Washington and his Grandson for 
setting up all the tables and chairs. We had a good amount of volunteers to 
help on Thursday, mostly BVARC members, one notable volunteer who is not a 
BVARC member who was there all three days ALL DAY is Chuck Hale – KF5UXP 
(trying to talk him into joining the club) …

Ham Radio Outlet (HRO) came in for setup on Thursday with a huge retail 
display, and they thrilled the Houston airwaves by checking into our Stir Crazy 
Net as they drove to the hamfest. Wow, what a great retailer and supporter of 
our hamfest.

Friday we were there early to allow more vendors to claim tables and start 
setting up. (it was a sellout (plus))

It was busy for me, looking up tables and walking folks to the tables (lots of 
walking) verifying they are no the right tables and happy..  thanks to Scott 
McKee – NT5SM and a couple of others for helping me with the paperwork.

We had an onsite Paramedic for your safety, BVARC Member David Stevens – KI5LDZ 
– He was also a big help with other volunteer duties when he was not saving 
lives..

Opening to the public at 2PM, we had a couple of early gate crashers I had to 
throw out. Yeah you know who you are…  ha ha

We were fully booked and the folks started streaming in, the crowd got huge.. 
Wow, on a Friday?  yes!..
At least as big or bigger than our past hamfests, as I was squeezing through 
the isles at one point it suddenly hit me, WOW, this is Friday, and the big day 
Saturday isn’t even here yet…wow

The show ran till 8pm,  a lot of folks were clearing out by 6:30-7ish, around 
8pm Walter (K5WH) and a group of Balloon guys were the only ones left… Planning 
for an 8pm close was probably too late..  Lesson learned for next years show.

Saturday morning at sunup the tailgaters were already swarming, and our doors 
opened at 8AM..  A few VENDORS showed up for a table they should have claimed 
already (Friday and Saturday)
It is a sell out! Where were you Friday? We counted you as a NO SHOW! 
Sorry I sold your Tables to someone else!
NO REFUNDS…
I was just being mean to drive home the point that we are a two day show, we 
need vendors here for two days!!
but of course I am not really mean,
I was prepared to set up some new tables and I did have a place for them .. 
(being mean for minute was part of my plan)
Initial vendor reaction was RAGE (wanting to beat me up).. ha ha
When I told them I was joking, I do have a table for you!!
I think I actually made a few new friends out of this crazy plan.

The Doors opened and wow, another huge huge crowd of people, by noon even the 
food vendor was overwhelmed with a line of maybe 50 folks(?) waiting on burgers 
..
it was difficult to to even squeeze down the isles..

Thanks to many companies (list on the houstonhamfest.org website) we had NINTY 
SIX, count em, NINTY SIX donated door prizes PLUS three MAJOR RAFFLE  prizes (I 
heard between $7000 and $8000 total) ..  With that many prizes to try to give 
away, we almost didn’t have enough time (in two days!!).
What in the past had been a prize an hour, or a prize every half hour, BUT this 
year it become our announcer’s main job  we had constant door prizes.. 

 

After recently traveling a couple hundred miles to a hamfest ( I won’t mention 
which one) I was disappointed to find out they BAN ALL DOGS except service 
dogs.. I brought my two Boxers and my wife stayed in outside with the dogs

 Over the two days, the VE team tested 27 people resulting in 6 new Techs, 7 
upgraded Generals and 5 upgraded Extras.
One young fellow (I swear) completed his Extra upgrade test (all 50 questions) 
in less than 15 minutes with 47 correct.

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

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 
on the I10E corridor.

Re: [BVARC] Greater Houston Hamfest

2022-08-26 Thread Nick Creason KE5QY via BVARC

Hi,

 

I’m coming in to the conversation late so these ideas may have been discussed 
before but I’ll through in my thoughts anyway.

 

Have we looked at working with ARRL to tie an annual regional or divisional 
meeting to the Houston Hamfest?  May be to late to include this year, but could 
work for future event.  This would bring in some interesting speakers and free 
advertising. 

 

Could we work with other non-ham organizations and business in the area that 
might be willing to donate prizes or exhibits that would be of interest to a 
larger audience?  Maybe NASA or SpaceX could provide some seminars or exhibits. 
 County or state emergency services and demos.

 

Set up some events or tours for non-ham activities that would make it more of a 
family event.  There are lots of activities for the whole family locally

 

Advertise it in all the ham magazines well ahead of time.  Give people from 
outside the area a chance to plan for the event.

 

Invite the local media to the event and play up what will be there.  (Newest 
radios, demonstrations, local celebrities)

 

Give it a unique name.  Hamcom and Hamvention sound like a big deal I’d want to 
attend.  Greater Houston Hamfest sounds like a local event just for locals.

 

I went to the Dallas Hamcom for years and it was always played up as a national 
or international event.  People started planning for the next year while they 
were there.  Is the Houston event date set a year in advance?

 

I do think getting a group together made up of representatives from all the 
local clubs would help pulling everything together and bring in new ideas.  
Dallas and Dayton both have permanent committees planning and supporting their 
events.  (Maybe even contact them and ask for some advice and ideas).

 

Just some ideas.

 

Nick,  KE5QY

I wish Not being in Houston makes it a little hard. But I do have
contacts there. I think it would be great if the club had a permanent
clubhouse, if it has the money to be able to afford it. The old Houston
amateur radio club site was down near the Astrodome and eventually became,
shall we say, an area nobody wanted to visit. I love the bi-monthly
auctions they had. Bought a lot of gear because of them. It's time for
Houston to have that again..
I'd be happy to join the committee. I'd have to be making the meetings at
night or on the weekends though. Provided I'm not on the road for work
which I've been doing a lot of. In fact I have today off because I already
hit my 40 hours yesterday

Re: [BVARC] Greater Houston Hamfest

2022-08-26 Thread Michael Amos via BVARC

I second this... and agree wholeheartedly.  When I lived in the Atlanta area it 
seemed like we had a decent hamfest at least once every couple of months.  That 
may not be exactly what was real but it felt that way.  And not just tailgates 
but actual hamfests. A couple of those were fairly sizable.  When I moved to 
Houston, I was expecting a HUGE amount of them and activity, etc.  but was met 
with disappointment.  Houston is what, the 4th largest City in the US and we 
have a VERY weak ham turnout.
The creation of an organization would help relieve some of the stresses of 
setting up and running a decent hamfest. AGAIN, maybe some calls to the groups 
that run the big shows such as Dayton and get advice on how to do it.  I cant 
imagine they would refuse that. I like to believe that hams overall want to do 
everything they can to promote the hobby and keep it alive.

Also, a centralized location would also help.  Or we could call it the "way out 
in the boonies countryfied hamfest"  jk.

Just my 12.345 cents.

nice clubhouse with a fully operational HF station. And unfortunately that just 
proved Andy's statement. I think it's time to change that.

Dear friends,
It is heartening to see the club get off to an earlier that usual start in 
planning for the hamfest, and of course the expected calls for ideas and actual 
real volunteers. Finding reliable volunteers is always a problem because most 
of us already have full plates, with work, family, etc.

So here's an old idea, submitted for yet another round of retorts that 
resurface every time someone makes a suggestion --"But we've already tried 
that."

I suggest we offer to partner with the other clubs in the metro to help make it 
a true "Greater Houston Hamfest." It does work when applied to Field Day. Why 
not try again to apply it to the hamfest? Net income from the event might be 
divided according to a formula that reflects two factors -- each club's 
membership headcount, and each club's actual participation (expressed in 
numbers of participating volunteers). Such a system would give all clubs a 
stake in the success of the event.

I'm now feeling verklempt, so this is your chance to discuss among yourselves. 
Or not.

Hi Neal,

Yes it was discussed and it was considered a non-issue. We feel that the event 
is early enough on Saturday morning, people will still come out.

I know it may be an inconvenience on the ones that are either selling or 
working the event but finding dates that will work are difficult. 

Thanks for the input.

 check the club website, bvarc.org  and the latest newsletter (monthly)is first 
thing on the website for you to download and read (free)..
The be sure to listen in on the Monday night net 146.94MHz 8pm(details on the 
website if you forget)In fact you might as well monitor this frequency or other 
active ones in your area to keep in touch..
And the eating schedule, Saturday morning, wednesday lunch bunch.details on the 
website..
Or get your ticket now for the club awards banquet in Januaryor Hamfest tickets 
for the hamfest in March(tickets for both available on the 
websites.)bvarc.orghoustonhamfest.org
or come to the Hamfest meeting at Fudruckers this sunday afternoon..Even if you 
do not want to volunteer to help us run the hamfest in marchyou can meet a few 
folks and eat a good burger!!
See you soonEddieNU5K
PS, we used to have an interactive calendar on the website, it allowed 
individualmembers as well as other ham clubs post events and notices on our 
main webspage..
It was used heavy for a while but just by a few people, and eventually no one.I 
would like to see it come back, but its hard to get folks involved enoughto be 
consistent.

Eddie,

I will be out of town this weekend. Curt, WG5H, who has agreed to help with the 
organization of the next GHH event. He will be attending the Sunday meeting. He 
and I are trying to get some people together to form a team for the next GHH. 
Your help will be crucial. Please say hello to Curt. 

You had mentioned that you had a list of vendors and their contact information. 
Curt and I will be going to Dayton and intend to talk to some of them to see if 
we can sign them up. It would be great if you can share that list with us.

2019-04-03 Thread Steve Agee via BVARC

I will be at work, so unable to attend. The only thing I wanted to 
mention is that while checking wristbands at the front door, I only had 
one issue and that was the same guy as last year and his wife with the 4 
way baby stroller with his 4 dogs inside. I told him that only service 
dogs were permitted, and asked if they were service dogs. He said no, 
but that I had let him in last year. I told him yes, I remember letting 
him in last year, but I was counseled about that after the fact. He then 
asked me if I was going to refund his f***ing ten dollars. I told him I 
could not refund his f***ing ten dollars, since I'm not the one that 
took his f***ing ten dollars, but to go back to the ticket office and 
ask them. He then asked me to show him the ordinance stating that only 
service animals were allowed. I told him I did not have that immediately 
available, but he was welcome to come back to the business office (next 
door over) during normal business hours and ask them for the 
documentation he was requesting, and that our rental contract spelled it 
out as part of the agreement we were governed by.

Re: [BVARC] Greater Houston Hamfest

2019-03-25 Thread Eddie Runner via BVARC

Bill, I don't want you to hesitate!

I want your input!

 

and thank you for it.

 

And your right, I don't want to be defensive or arguementative..

 

But on the other hand,  I did tell Mike (the hamfest chairman) that I wanted to 
start EARLY  (NOW!!!) in

the planning for next years show and I think I did tell him I might not be nice 
about how I go about it..   ha ha

 

No (kidding) I am always a nice guy, but I do want to criticize the things that 
went wrong and grow the things

that went right!!

 

We already know 95% of our club members and 99% of other hams probably wont 
help us at all, it is just the way life is.

But we are going to push for and ask for folks to help us anyway!! 

 

At least the last two shows (maybe more) were seriously about to NOT HAPPEN at 
all…  A few years ago the Volunteer

Chairman quit right before the show.   Several folks (several times) wanted to 
help with the hamfest website and 

just as they get started they quit and dissapear leaving stuff in dis array…

 

It is so frustrating!!  

 

This year the show was so close to not happening that the website was basicly 
CLOSED for most of last year.

People started calling me in October asking if the show was going to occur this 
year, I had to be honest and say

" I DON’T KNOW"…  

 

Mike Hartwig, our show chairman and our club president has been working at his 
job in Dallas and trying to 

commute down here for planning meetings and and club business.. is that easy? 
Heck no,

but there is no one stepping up to take his place.

 

I am not trying to be defensive, I am just trying to point out how we need 
help!!

 

We can all sit around and say WE NEED BIG VENDORS….   
DUH!!!

 

We need people calling those vendors, emailing those vendors, keeping up with 
who to talk to, when to plan

with them, what are their needs when attending our show, and so on.. We need to 
do this with litterlly hundreds of

companies just to make sure we have a few good ones… We did it a little in the 
past but not this year. 

Oh, and we also need to ask these many vendors for help in the door prize and 
promotional materials department.. 

 

For next year we do have someone new to do this task, we are already getting 
together a list of companies and 

marketing plans for tempting the big guys to come to ur next shows.

 

you know the Hamfest buys most of its own  prizes??? 
When I got very involved in the planning side,  I was amazed that more prizes 
were not donated by companies ..  

In most of the industries I have been involved with in my life many companies

DONATE to the charity (the hamfest is a 501C non profit).. 

 

For a while when we could afford it, I made sure my little company donated BIG 
prizes to the hamfest,

for several years my company would dontate a transcciever to the hamfest.  Of 
course we also dontated to 

museum ships, field day, and some local schools, police charities and a bunch 
of other things.

But my little business has had to slim down a bit in the last few years and I 
am only donating my time now..

(trying to do the best I can)

 

For next year, we already have some NEW folks that are stepping up in a big way 
to help us grow.  We have some

early plans that are just getting uinderway and want to encourage IDEAS and 
VOLUNTEERS..

 

I hope none of the current volunteers and door prize donators are not offended, 
or frustrated or 

anything other negetive by my posts.. the few donations, and the precious 
volunteers that that did make it 

possible for this show to happen are my heros!!

 

We not only want the fantastic great ideas, but we want solutions on how to 
achieve these things.!

And yes, brainstorming is good!   ha ha

 

Thanks again Bill..

This is more people saying more about the hamfest that ALL LAST YEAR!!!

Eddie,

Hesitated to make a comment on the attendance at the hamfest because I was sure 
that it was going to be taken negatively and those hard working hams that 
produced the event would immediately turn defensive. And that's what happened.

Why can't there be accusation free discussion on how to make things better for 
attendees? Isn't this a forum? Does a commenter need to take a position on the 
planning committee before his/ her opinion is considered? Why not seek opinions 
as a brain storming session without feeling attacked.

Howard,

of course we all know BIG retailers and MAJOR Brands would attract more people 
to our hamfest.

 

But just how do you think we can attract these guys to our hamfest? What are 
YOUR ideas Howard?

 

We had Icom a couple years ago, 

We had FLex Radio for several years, 

we had Alinco and GRE for a few years… 

we had Main Trading a few times

we had HamThreads a few years in a row,

none of those were here this year or last year.. I don’t know why?  
Did we forget to buy them dinner?

Did we have bad breath?

 

In the past,

we had Austin Ham Radio store, he DIED,

we had Houston Amateur Radio, they went out of biz,

 

This year we did have Expert Linear, and the Sign Man, we did have the 
suspender man, we did have EPO!

We are very happy they came.

 

Howard, don't let your being stuck at home without a ride hinder your ability 
to get involved,

Last year we were lucky to have Scott Royall as a BVARC board member (he died 
in office last year),

 

  if you don't know Scott he had Muscular Distrophy ( I think that’s what it 
was) and he was stuck in

a wheel chair with a service dog and a nurse, he could only talk through his 
computer in a computerized

voice.. 

 

but when Scott though his ham club needed him he stepped right up (rolled up) 
and volunteered,

he was voted in as a board member and was very influential during his service.

 

Thanks for the input

Next year is already in the planning stages.

 

Eddie (NU6K)

Unfortunately something has come up and I won’t be able to 
attend. I will be there on Saturday morning to help however I can. I think JP 
has me on the list for announcements.

Mike,

 

Do we have a “firm” schedule for the specific breakout sessions? I want to have 
that info on my printed “script” for my announcer helpers so they can promo 
these events a few minutes before they start.  There are other details I’ll 
include on the script. If you think of things you want promoted, please let me 
know.  I do plan (for myself and the others) to promote the raffle and the door 
prizes, but I think I can figure that out on my own.

 

Yes, I will be there on Saturday

The Greater Houston Hamfest is only nine days away. There is still a lot of 
planning and coordination that needs to be done. This Saturday between 1 and 3 
pm, I hope to get everything on the final page for the Hamfest.

 

If you have already volunteered for a position, please make sure you make the

There is a lot of work to finish up but I feel everything will work out well
