[HCARC] Rain and Texas QSO Party This Weekend

[Gary Johnson]

Accuweather Premium is calling for upwards of 3.6 inches of rain starting Sat and going through Monday.  Surface maps projected out through Saturday have a cold front arriving Sat afternoon. 

Yea, just in time to interfere with Starr Center, Sam Jones and myself roving 8-10 counties during the Texas QSO Party.  We will be hitting Bandera, Real, Edwards, Schliecher, Sutton, Mason, Menard and Kerr counties.  We are combining our logs with the South Texas DX and Contesting Club.

BTW, Sam Jones and Bob Richie attended the STXDXCC meeting this past Tues night and seemed to be impressed with the “Operating First and Foremost” attitude of the club.  STXDXCC meets the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 7pm at Bobby J’s Famous Burgers on Hwy 16 in Helotes.  All are invited.  No annual dues – the club treasury just accepts donations.  Attendance at 3 club functions in one year qualifies you as a voting member – attendance at 4 events/meetings thereafter maintains membership.  Reflector found on Yahoo Groups under STXDXCC.  Their reflector just hit the highest usage ever this month at 180+ postings.  Sam and I truck-pooled and depending on whether our XYL’s come, there is still room for 2-3 more to come with us.  I usually leave my QTH at about 5 pm to get there in time to have a burger before the meeting starts.

73,
