Update from our club president Ron Matusek, WA6TQH:

On Thursday, June 11th, Harris County announced a new color-coded system to inform residents regarding the current level of risk from COVID-19 and actions we strongly urge residents take to stay healthy, save lives, and ensure our local economy recovers in a way that is sustainable over the long term.

Current Level: Level 1: Stay Home

There are four levels:

  • Level 1 - Severe (red) Stay Home (current)
  • Level 2 - Significant (orange) Minimize All Contacts
  • Level 3 - Moderate (yellow) Stay Vigilant
  • Level 4 - Minimal (green) Resume Normal Contacts

Because of the statewide shelter-in-place order in response to the corona virus, NARS is making the following announcements regarding club activities:

Stay safe, be careful, and don't panic! This, too, shall pass...

In addition to the Ham Radio Tech Notes group on groups.io, Bill, K5LK is the group admin for a sub-group whose purpose is to facilitate discussion and communication on group activities related to mentoring of hams on newer technologies and operating modes. While all hams are encouraged to participate, our programs primarily target newly licensed and returning hams. We are looking for hams to be part of our advisory team.
