Fw: [Special] [ARRLNTX] The HOA Friendly Amateur Radio Emergency Services Bill SM049 – Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act
FYI, if interested.
Johnnie KG5CQO ________________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Steven Lott Smith KG5VK ARRL NTX SM via groups.io <lottsphoto@...> Sent: Monday, February 17, 2025 9:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Special] [ARRLNTX] The HOA Friendly Amateur Radio Emergency Services Bill SM049 – Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act First off this Bill would not even be where it is so far without our ARRL Division Director John Robert Stratton N5AUS He has spent countless hours working on this with Congress and the staff of several member of Congress Most of it in person in Washington DC utilizing Lobbying Funds provided by the ARRL as well as his own funds. Mr. Stratton is a Volunteer, just like I am. If you are thinking how can you help see this legislation move forward……… SM049 – Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act Re-Introduced February 11, 2025 Legislation Will Increase Communication Options During Natural Disasters WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Roger Wicker, R-Miss., and Richard Blumenthal, D- Conn., and Representatives August Pfluger, R-Tex., and Joe Courtney, D-Conn. announced their joint re-introduction of legislation in the Senate and House to restore the right to Amateur Radio operators to install the antennas necessary to serve their communities. Here in Oklahoma, we ask all amateur radio clubs and individuals to visit . This page has all of our contact information and template letters. Please note that all letters should be sent to the email and address listed. Letters emailed to legislators tend to get lost in the cleansing process. ARRL will aggregate these letters and deliver them directly to our senators and representatives. If you don’t live in an HOA, please complete a letter to make sure those in the HOAs will be there to contact you. Please fill out the letters as soon as possible. Follow the instructions on that Oklahoma page closely Please do not send printed or emailed letters direct to your representatives, this is because Mr. Stratton plans on delivering the large stack of documents to the respective members of congress to visually show the demand from their constituents. This is a much more powerful method that a few hundred or even thousand emails getting filtered in an inbox and someone later over looks. Again this is currently just a Bill, we need it to become Law. For many of us in the Rural areas this Bill does not mean much to us. However, for many North Texans that need to live in the more densely populated Metro areas This Bill becoming Law means a great deal. Ask questions here or direct by email to myself KG5VK@...<mailto:KG5VK@...> Please use the Oklahoma Section website for reference You can also send your feedback and or letters direct to myself and I will get them to Mr. Stratton Or bring Printed statements to your next club next club meeting or Saturday Morning breakfast. I am sure your Club Officers will get them to me, be sure to use the layouts provided on the Oklahoma Section website. Cheers! Steve KG5VK ARRLNTX Section Manager |

Field Day HF Kit power supply
开云体育I know it was approved months ago, but I finally made it to HRO and got a power supply for the second HF kit we deploy for Field day.Recap: We have two Icom 718 Radios, antenna tuners, power supplies and laptops in two padded plastic tubs that we use for Field Day HF operation. Last year one of the radios was having problems and after Field day I did some testing. I found that if the radio was used over about 45w, the power supply would just die. I checked internal fuses and such, and all was okay. Not being a component level engineer, I brought it up at a board meeting where it was approved to purchase a replacement. I finally did that. A 30-amp switching, no meters, for $109.95.? No tax. I will test the new power supply with the radio kit this weekend and bring the receipt to the next general meeting for reimbursement. --

Board meeting minutes ?
In researching something, I went looking for the board meeting minutes.
On GroupsIO files, the board has minutes from 2024 January, Feb, March, April, May, July, and then an additional folder for November & December. June, August, September, October are missing. I then cross referenced Ham Club Online. Which does not have a folder for minutes. But in Newsletters and Communications, I found February 3, 2025 Board meeting Minutes. Nothing form 2024. Files was last updated in 2019. The website has newsletters uploaded every month.? No minutes. The last content, other than newsletters, that was uploaded on the website was photos of Sam, Dick, and Tim for updating the Officers page, in January of 2024.? It still hasn't been updated with the 50 Years and Counting updated logo.? The Anniversary dinner was July 2023. Thus concludes my observations. -- Anthony Burokas General Class Ham (KB3DVS) VP: Plano Amateur Radio Klub – 25-year video producer — IEBA.com |

Re: General Meeting Slide Deck Input
I think having separate slides for future programs helps "advertise" in person attendance, but I've trimmed the slides down to two for "current' program and future programs.
