Hello everyone,
We know how Ham operators love a twofer so we are excited to invite you all to a special POTA event where we will also be celebrating Natalie?s 2nd birthday. We will have everything our normal Houston POTA events have plus a little extra to celebrate this special birthday. So, like always this is a family friendly event that you and your family are invited to on May 16, 2026. We look foward to seeing you all there.


HOUSTON POTA EVENT
Saturday May 16th 10am - 4pm
(Birthday party starting at 1pm)
Galveston Island State Park
14901 FM 3005
Galveston, Tx 77554

A few important things to know.

  *   Park access is $5.00 per person. More info on: https://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/galveston-island<https://us.list-manage.com/RISj5zh4iAg?e=2d0f3ae900&c2id=e053bdb52822eb6b99fb9db75be1b9a0>
  *   We will provide at least 3 HF radios so the only thing you need to bring is yourself, something to drink, and snack on. There is no park store so you may want to bring bug spray and or sun screen.
  *   You are welcomed to ask questions or to share your knowledge with others.
  *   You can use your own call sign if you decide to get on the radio or the club call KE5HP.
  *   Technician class licensees ARE WELCOME! You can operate within your designated band, however if you want access to all HF bands please see Anthony (W5LIC) or Kori (WX5KR) to use the club call sign.
  *   Of course, you do not have to operate the radios, you can come out for a fun time with your fellow hams.
  *   Reach out to us on 146.520MHz FM simplex while in the vicinity of the park.
  *   This is a family friendly event.

Share this email with other clubs and operators and we look forward to seeing you all there.

All, please find attached some of the videos we looked at or discussed in today's meeting for hurricane prep, go boxes, antenna launchers.  The links should open and go directly to the videos in Youtube.  The potato gun antenna launch fail is the one to watch first. Other information discussed today was the field day rules and an overview of N1MM Logger program that we plan to use for Field Day in June.
