Electricity Explained


Nothing in electronics works without electrons. That is what your electrical utility delivers to your home and office.

The next meeting of the Cedar Creek Amateur (ham) Radio Club explores this world with the General Manager/CEO of Trinity Valley Cooperative, Jerry Boze. How is electricity generated and distributed, what will happen to electricity rates and what about solar and wind? These are some of the subjects Mr. Boze will address along with his engineer.

It will be a most interesting meeting and it is open to the public. It happens at 9 Am on Saturday May 13th 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.

The Cedar Creek ARC has over forty members from the tri-county area. It maintains a VHF and UHF repeater system that provide hand-held radio coverage to hams in the lake area, and mobile and base coverage throughout the three counties. CCARC participates in the National Weather Service SKYWARN program and the Amateur Radio Emergency Service. The club also provides classes to those wishing to join the ranks of Amateur "ham" Radio.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Feb. 26)

GOOD. stained; 52 degrees; 0.12 feet above pool. The pattern is consistent. The hybrid and white bass winter deadsticking bite is on fire! Use half ounce to 1-1/2 ounce jigs with 4-5 inch plastic flukes depending on what the winds are and drift long lengths of the lake in the deepest water 35-55 feet. Drift at speeds of .2-.6 mph using your drift mode on your trolling motor or using drift socks. If the winds are not too bad you can just drift with the wind. Thumping on the bottom of your boat will attract fish and group them up underneath as you drift. Utilizing a splasher also works well with thumping. You will find the fish suspended between 22-28 feet when deadstricking. Look for Birds and Loons early mornings on shallow flats as the fish will come up to follow the bait and feed early especially on cloudier and colder days. The crappie bite has been tough with reports of fish being scattered. Target crappie with small jigs and minnows in 7-15 feet under bridge pylons, hidden brush piles throughout the lake or under docks. Crappie fisherman have been moving spot to spot finding limits. Lots of crappies in the 7-9 inch range. Limits of crappie will happen but you may catch a lot of small ones getting to your limit. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Catfish can be caught in shallow water near creek mouths, or drifting in deep water with cut shad. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
