Tower Fundraising Event
WE DID IT! An anonymous donor pledged up to $5000 in matching funds and we colleced over $6000 and more on the way! We can still use your donations as this is going to be an expensive project and sometimes "things happen". While we prefer check or cash donations to avoid Square's 2.9% service charge, we do have a DONATION button on our Square page to accept your credit card donations.
Send your donation to:
P.O. Box 1732
Boerne, TX 78006
Texas Parks on the Air
April 12 & 13th will be the Texas Parks on the Air event. Jesse (W1BBT) will be at Guadalupe River State Park operating on 10m FT8, FT4 and SSB. If there's enough interest, we could activate as KB5TX for both a POTA activation and TPOTA. If you plan to go, be sure to get your day pass early as the park tends to fill up. Contact Jesse - W1BBT for additional information.
