We dd this last year as well with GREAT results. Off of 610 North at TC Jester. We’ll have a couple HF stations as well as a satellite station active too. We will also be launching a balloon with a WSPR tracker on it, like we did for the BVARC field day back in June. With scouts around the planet tracking it. In competition with a JOTA group in Austin. Come on over and join us.

I have several scout families that expressed interest in participating in the global Jamboree On The Air event this weekend. I am hoping to find a club or organization that already has plans to participate that I can send our scout families too, ideally on Sunday October 22nd. Please let me know if BVARC or another radio group in Houston has organized plans. Thank you, Eric Lieb Cubmaster Pack 806 281.221.4992 eric.j.l...@gmail.com P.S. Depending on your memory some might remember me. I was a member of the club a long time ago when I first earned my Technican license (KF5GWY). I made my first contact with a club member on the BVARC repeater when i got my shiny new kenwood th f6a radio. I don't do much ham work these days ( too many other hobbies, family, and life competing for my time). I also no longer live within the range of the BVARC repeater. I enjoyed my time with BVARC and may one day join the club again. 73.
