Here is the PDF I referenced in tonight's meeting. It's a good read and offers lots of helpful information for both new and more experienced hams. Give it a look and let's discuss at the next meeting.

I came across this link today and there are many club members who op/chase POTA-SOTA-JOTA and other activations. I went to the site and on the Menu (3 bars stacked) under Rules it will show contact information, modes and the suggested frequencies.
Share as you desire or post on BVARA and Triple A web/groups.io sites.

If the link doesn’t work do a C&P into your browser. NASA On The Air (NOTA) is BACK! Amateur radio club stations at NASA field centers will be re-activating joint operations for 2022. Our first event will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 16 Moon landing. Many of the NASA clubs will be on the air from April 23-27, 2022, however, some NASA club stations have already begun operations to commemorate the full mission duration which actually began with liftoff on April 16th, 1972.

ARLB011 New FCC Application Fee Will Not Apply to Amateur Radio
License Upgrades
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) staff has clarified in
response to an ARRL request that the new $35 application fee will
not apply to most license modifications, including those to upgrade
amateur radio licensee's operator class and changes to club station
trustees. The FCC staff explained that the new fees will apply only
to applications for a new license, renewal, rule waiver, or a new
vanity call sign. As previously announced, the new fees take effect
on April 19, 2022.
"We are pleased that the FCC will not charge licensees the FCC
application fee for license upgrade applications," said ARRL
Volunteer Examiner Coordinator (VEC) Manager Maria Somma, AB1FM.
"While applicants for a new license will need to pay the $35 FCC
application fee, there will be no FCC charge for future upgrades and
administrative updates, such as a change of mailing or email
address. Most current licensees, therefore, will not be charged the
new FCC application fee until they renew their license or apply for
a new vanity call sign."
ARRL previously reported that the new $35 application fee for
amateur radio licenses will become effective on April 19, 2022.
