9/4/2026 - Update regarding restricting certain types of fireworks

Late last night, Judge Brassell received an update informing us that Governor Abbott approved our request to extend the Fireworks restrictions in the unincorporated areas of Hill County.

The following fireworks are prohibited in the unincorporated areas of the County until Monday, 9/17/26 at 10 PM:

1. Bottle rockets and other skyrockets with sticks;
2. Missiles with fins;
3. Ground blooms; and
4. Other similar fireworks that, because of their design, operation, sparks, flame, or movement, present an extraordinary risk of igniting dry grass, vegetation, or other combustible material.

A local disaster was declared on 9/1, which extended our Burn Ban and remains in effect until 10/31 unless rescinded or modified earlier.

We will be setting up at 3pm on Friday the 17th. The event on the air begins at 7pm and goes through Sunday the 19th until 6:59pm.

We rented 2 shelters #8 and #10 next to swimming and day use area for plenty of parking.

In addition, we will be having our Spring Picnic on Sunday at 11:30am at the same location and will provide main dish of bratwurst and smoked sausage. Bring a dish to add to the meal if you want.

There will be room if you want to tent camp or stay in one of the shelters.

We will have one station to operate on hopefully 10-80 meters but 10-20 meters for sure.

We can always use help setting up and also take down. Modes will be SSB. CW (bring your own key) and FT8-FT4. We wil have an Icom IC-7300 radio so if you want to bring a key make sure to have plug to fit that radio. You can always bring your own radio if desired.

We will be logging contacts as POTA and TSPOTA for the club. We look forward to seeing everyone and having a full weekend of radio fun and fellowship. Bring family or friends. All are welcome.
