I think BVARC is a great ham radio club and has been for many decades. I became involved with as a Novice since about 1984. A lot of members have done a lot of hard work to strengthen and promote our hobby. As far as I know, I'm not upset with any of our members. CQ DX! KA5LPH  Sent from Yahoo

So Anthony,  TO MAKE THIS CLEAR...the Board did approve you a POTA budget of $1000 a year. BUT THATS NOT WHY you want to cut the cord between POTA and BVARC... Now I seem to understand it was being disrespected by some members of the Board of Directors.. Most of thought is was about the

Your email makes sense but has nothing to do with the topic at hand. I sent the email to let people know that we will still be doing POTA events. Just not with the BVARC name. We are going back to the way we did things when we first started things. It has nothing to do with what the BOD has said

Just to get my two cents on Richard’s email Richard is right there’s a lot of people that got a lot of hurt feelings in this club and ideas if they think should be seen but if everybody just gets mad and bitches and complains that nothing gets done so we need to find some sort of compromise to

Hey Rudy, Good morning. I agree with you, POTA is a lot of fun. Might I suggest trying POTA on CW? To me it’s the next step in a fun & emergency preparedness journey. BTW, thank you to Kori WX5KR and Anthony W5LIC for spearheading the POTA activities in our community. 73, Stephen (W2WF)

OK - I have sat quiet... As a BVARC member, I have worked to welcome everyone. Even the strangest of us. I have recently heard issues and quickly went to talk to take care of them. I hope that those who I have been working with are in agreement. I invite anyone that disagrees to please call and

I must say that POTA is what drove me to buy the HF gear I have now, POTA was the driving force for me to join this club. Also if I drag my radio, battery, computer out to a park, you bet I'm going to use my call on my gear. Rudy Ackerman KF5QYG On Wednesday, January 31, 2024 at

Im sorry to hear that .. I think POTA is amazing and fills so many blanks for  BVARC and the Ham radio community... 1) can you ever beat a beautiful day in the park2) be a catch (cause a pileup)  3) Afternoon with some great friends4) opportunity to welcome new folks to HAM and to BVARC..
