Cedar Creek Radio Club to Conduct One Day Ham License Class




If you think it would be fun to get "on the air" with Amateur "ham" Radio, here's your chance! The Cedar Creek Amateur Radio Club will hold a one-day class on November 16 that will allow students to obtain their ham radio license. At the end of the day, students will take the 30 question multiple choice examination for the Technician class license. Within a week, students can check the FCC online system for their callsign. The instructor, George Yarger, has helped dozens of interested individuals obtain their license through his unique "ham-cram" class. No technical experience is necessary... just a desire to join the ranks of ham radio operators, a unique hobby that is both fun and a community resource. Students will learn enough to be able to pass the exam, and, from there, members of the local club will mentor students to help get them "on the air." The class itself is free, as is the lifetime FCC license. There is a $10 fee for electronic processing and submittal of the exam. The class will be held at the Harbor Baptist Church, 12059 State Highway 198, Payne Springs, on Saturday, November 16, at 8 a.m. Those interested are asked to pre-register by sending their name, email address and phone number to [email protected].

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 2)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 87 degrees; 0.07 feet above pool. Big numbers of white bass and several trophy-class hybrid stripers have hit the deck. We are consistently finding the best action in 15–22 feet of water. Good go-to setups include a variety of slabs, sometimes paired with 2–3 jigs above, and the always-reliable yellow bladed jig using the proven saw tooth retrieve technique. Trolling spoons at 3 mph in 13–17 feet of water absolutely crushed the white bass. Water temperatures are currently holding around 83 degrees and will continue to rise as summer heats up over the next couple of weeks. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Catfish are good anchoring on humps in 12-24 feet using small shad or cut shad on the bottom. Drifting larger cut bait like carp, drum or big gizzard shad on flats in 10-25 feet all around the lake. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures. Anticipate increased boater traffic this weekend as we celebrate our Nation’s Independence Day.
