Hello, Harvey, K5HV

My name is Ken and my call sign is AC5EZ, a member of the Lake Area Amateur
Radio Klub, LAARK ( <https://www.k5lrk.com/> https://www.k5lrk.com/), in The
Colony, Texas. Club call is K5LRK. LAARK is, once again, sponsoring the
Texas State Parks on the Air contest this year. If you are not familiar with
the TSPOTA contest I invite you to visit  <http://www.TSPOTA.org>
http://www.TSPOTA.org for complete rules and park activation information.
But first, let me give you a brief overview of TSPOTA.

TSPOTA is an annual event that takes place on the second full weekend in
April, (except when Easter falls on the second weekend, then the contest is
moved to the first weekend of April). This year it will be April 7-8, 2018.
TSPOTA is a low pressure, fun contest, designed to give Texas hams that have
been house bound during the winter, a chance to go to a local state park and
make a few contacts. It is a great opportunity to check out your radio gear
and enjoy a little sunshine in the park.

The purpose of this email is twofold. First is to familiarize you with
TSPOTA, and second to try to encourage your club to join us in this event.
And maybe, convince your club to activate a park.

Thanks for your time and I hope to hear you on TSPOTA. If you don't mind,
would forward this email to your club members.

You may contact any one of these TSPOTA committee members if you need more
information.

73,

Ken, AC5EZ
