Re: Question for Foodies and Cooks
Heya Tim, San Saba has always been known as the ¡°Pecan Capitol of the world¡±. ?I personally love the Choctaw variety of Pecans because they are big and have a paper shell. ?I¡¯ve got 2 in my backyard but I never seem to get to enjoy any of them because the squirrels go NUTS over them. ?

Tim,
I like Berdoll's on 71 before you get to Bastrop. They have
several varieties, I prefer Kiowa.? They have lots of whole
pecans, cracked pecans, shelled pecans and pieces.? Jellies, gift,
etc.? As well as pecan pies - you can buy a pecan pie from the
vending machine any time day or night.? What a wonderful world we
live in!?
I bought 20 lbs of cracked Kiowas this week @ $75/10 lb.? Fresh
pecans are a huge step up from store bought in taste and
appearance.? Their cracked ones are pretty easy to peel with lots
of complete halves (pie pecans!).
San Saba is known for pecans, as is Seguin.? There is a great
pecan orchard by Lake Brownwood? we used to buy from when we
traveled to Brownwood frequently.? But Berdoll's is much closer.
After eating fresh pecans I pass by the HEB pecans for other
nuts.? No comparison.? But I usually plan to have fresh pecans all
year.? They stay good until cracked, so I buy a couple months of
freshly cracked ones at a time.

New rules for Winter Field Day 2025
Hi, Hambuds!
?
?? The Winter Field Day organization had made changes to the rules and multipliers.? The biggest change is that the event runs for 30 hours instead of 24, starting at 10:00 CST on Saturday, Jan. 25 and ending? one minute before 4:00 CST (3:59) on Sunday, Jan. 26, 2025.? So, if we operate from the park as a group, we will need to set up right after breakfast.? Or, if we all operate from home, leave breakfast in time to warm up your station and get ready to rumble.? :-)
?
?? I am attaching the 2025 rules and infomation for your convience.? Please read this if you are planning to operate or help the club during Winter Field Day.
?
Have a nice weekend!? 73,

Hello Foxhunt Enthusiast
There's a hidden fox in the area.
Let's get out
those yagis, loops, attenuators and all your other favorite
signal tracking, direction finding gear and get it dusted off, get outside and exercise those signal tracking skills.
Fox hunting is a lot of fun so let's
get out there and have some fun.

Picture is optional, no need to submit a picture of the
fox.
When you find the fox, you should see just below the fox, hanging on a short cord, will be a poker card size tag. What is the color of that tag?
submit the tag color, your name and any comments you may have HERE ==> https://www.ke5rs.com/foxhunt/foxhunt-upload.php

Re: Winter Field Day 2025
Hi Tim and everyone,
I just got back from a long weekend at Big Bend Ranch State Park
so am only now getting to respond to this.
I would like to operate and I can provide a donation as well to
pay for the pavilion.??
I don't mind staying overnight (I will need to sleep :-) ) but I
need to come up with something that is acceptable to the park and
does not involve my sleeping in my car again :-)
Thanks and 73,
Marc
