Less Is More


One of the great aspects of ham radio is there are so many options to try. Have you tried QRP? It is generally defined as operating with 5 watts or less. In some cases a LOT less.

Many club members do and that's the thrust of the next meeting of the Cedar Creek Amateur (ham) Radio Club on Saturday, September 9th. William Moos, will explain what a typical set up might look like. Hint: Very simple. People who practice QRP have short wave radios that fit in their hand but can connect with the world.

We can use your help at this meeting. Do you have a QRP radio? If so, will you bring it to the meeting and maybe tell a short experience you've had with it?

If you are interested in technology, come join like-minded people at the meetings that are free and open to the public. It happens at 9 AM on Saturday September 9th at the Mabank Café on Hwy 198 in Mabank.

The club meets the second Saturday of each month there. The meeting starts at 9 AM, but many come early for the breakfast buffet. Anyone interested in technology is welcome.

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 20)

EXCELLENT. Stained; 62 degrees; 0.08 feet below pool. The hybrid striped bass and white bass have recently been staging in the creek arms to spawn these past few weeks. Fish are now coming back into the main lake in droves to recover from the spawn 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. Retrieve shiny slabs or spinnerbaits off the bottom at a very slow retrieve to catch these fish in depths of 17-26 feet of water. The crappie bite has picked up in the creeks and inlets in 2-10 feet of water throughout the entire lake. We are now seeing the crappie migrate back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 4-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service.
