• IN C O L O R: The November Newsletter is now available.
  • The December General Membership Meeting will be on December 11 at the Sugar Land Community Center 226 Matlege Way, Sugar Land, across from the post office two blocks south of the sugar mill. The December meeting is Home Brew Night which is always enjoyable, as it is a time to bring out your favorite project that you designed or built this year or to see what others have been working on in their home workshops. Ham Radio equipment and accessories is the main focus, but you can bring any other electronic or mechanical gizmo to display. Prizes will be awarded for the top 3 projects (chosen by secret vote) in the Ham Radio category and there will be a ‘booby prize’ for the non-Ham radio group. Prizes include a 40 meter CW xmitter kit, a Tuna Tin II 30 meter xmitter kit, a Scorpion QRP Club Iambic key kit and, of course, the non-Ham Radio category booby prize. If you have any questions about the BVARC Homebrew night please contact our VP – Rick – W5RH at rhiller@sdicgm.com
