Field Day at Brookshire's




Ham Radio Open House at Brookshire’s

 

 

For the second year, Mabank store director Scott Andrews has welcomed the Cedar Creek Amateur Radio Club to operate next to the store.

 

This group of ham radio operators will compete in a worldwide contest called “Field Day.”  In the 24-hour period on June 25th and 26th they will contact as many stations as possible.  The highest score wins.  But, there are many complications.

 

We must demonstrate that we can operate our stations with emergency power, so we bring generators.  We must continuously transmit in that period so many of our club members will be there throughout the day and night.

 

Although this is fun, there is a serious side to the event.

 

When disaster strikes whether man-made or natural, the first thing lost is communications.  The Internet is lost, cell phones, everything we count on disappears.  But not ham radio!

 

We carry our own two-way radios in our cars or even in our hands.  So we have become first responders in any crisis.  That means “Field Day” is an opportunity to show the public what we can do.

 

So this is an invitation to our open house to watch the action, ask questions and hear voices from around the world.

 

It happens from 1 PM Saturday, June 25th until 1 PM Sunday June 26th at the Mabank Brookshire’s store on Hwy 198 in Mabank.

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 27)

EXCELLENT. Stained; 64 degrees; 0.21 feet above pool. The hybrid striped bass and white bass have made a full recovery from the spawn and are now back in the main lake in droves and are on a feeding frenzy. Look for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. The bite will continue to get even better in these areas as the shad spawn will start to take place in the next 2-3 weeks across the lake. Slowly retrieve shiny slabs or spinnerbaits off the bottom to catch these fish in depths of 17-26 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days.
