latest and most complete information for everything in June in
chronological order (please note this is the first announcement of the *BVARC
Spec-Ops Training #3 June 19th*). All Field Day flyers are attached. My
presentation from the General Meeting can be found here

*BVARC Spec-Ops Training #3: Antennas, impedance, etc.*
*Monday June 19th 6pm - 8pm*
Because we have had a few issues timing these and a few folks who intended
to make them missed them. I am working on a solution for those who missed
any of the training sessions. I will announce those plans in July. For now,
please try to make this one if you can.

*Field Day Sunday*
*Sunday June 25th*
Sunday we will continue operating the stations (please sign-up if you plan
to operate with us), completing any final Bonus Point activities throughout
the morning. We will have breakfast, again please wait for Daphne to
provide the final schedule for meals, but I suspect meals will be served
around 8am for breakfast and noon for lunch.
The *contest ends just before 1pm local time*. Afterwards we will
immediately begin breakdown of the stations, collection of all data and
clearing out equipment and personnel from the site. Please try to stick
around to help us clean up, and sign-up if you can to be on the clean up
crew (on the volunteer sheet). If we play things just right, I think we can
be out by 5pm.
*Location:* Fort Bend County Fire Training Field
260 Clay St.
Richmond, TX 77469
Let me know if you have any questions, Please sign-up for operating
positions and volunteering. If you have anything you'd like to donate for
the raffle contact me directly. I hope to see you at the planning meetings
and at Field Day!
Thanks and 73!
