My response to our disgruntled non-renewal. Btw # I looked and unless he*s registered under a different name, this non-renewer is not on our groups.io mailing list. Tim ==== I*m sorry that your experience with PARK have been less than your expectations. Please know that we have been taking steps to shorten the business meeting portion, but in the interest of transparency and keeping our members involved, sometimes some items may take more time. We will continue to post future programs in the newsletter and to our K5PRK email list on groups.io. We plan to record our meetings and post those on the website. The big screen TV at the church is what it is. We advise attendees to site closer if needed. I think we have been providing a wide range of programs related to Ham Radio. Members are always invited to submit suggestions and requests. We always remind FD operators to be mindful of others wishing to operate. Past club officers were not forgotten. There was not enough time to recognize every past officer individually, so we decided to recognize the Founders, past Presidents, and other officers the way we did. Thank you for the contributions you made as a club officer. I still invite you to give PARK a try and renew your membership. Clubs evolve over time and members come and go. But it*s the members and their involvement that make a club what it is, and we would welcome you back. 73, Tim

No other way to get it I belong to Richardon club. Meetings arte 15 minutes routine stuff. New members. Announcements of upcoming stuff. Short break then program. It's also on Zoom so if weather bad or I'm out of town, I can join meeting. Half programs from online presentations. Big screen in auditorium at church and via Zoom Tired of too many. PARK programs not interesting to me. Been to PARK FD many times. Not invited to operate. No one in control. Go RWK FD. Much better. Used to go, volunteer Ballon festival. No more Actually was officer PARK back in 1990s. Sort of ticked off when you had dinner honoring past Predidents but forgetting others like VP, treasurer, board members. _._,_._,_

Many of u are active with Skywarn, and the PARK repeater is used for weather reporting to the NWS. I didn't have a fixed idea of a topic when I reached out, but because of our sporadic interaction with the NWS, and the dramatic weather conditions DFW has, from ice storms, to tornadoes, extreme heat, possibly even a hurricane, and severe storms that can form directly on top of us with little to no warning other than the NWS can forecast it based on things nobody else can see there can be a lot to talk about in terms of how forecasting is done. Then also technologies involved, from Doppler radar, satellite imagery, to other technologies. Explaining what the NWS does, and what commercial entities may also do as well. We have a decent sized LCD screen that the audience can see from their seats, we have an HDMI cable that goes to our laptop and we've got a clicker. You are free to bring your own laptop or whatever, and plug it in if that's easier, or just a Powerpoint on a USB stick. We can set up a table if there's other stuff to present as well. Just let me know what you might need. Our meeting starts at 7p, and we take care of club business first, generally about half an hour, then a short break, and then the program, so you can come just to present and we can set you during the break. Or you can come for the meeting and learn a bit about what we have going on., including our plans to expand coverage of the PARK repeater deeper and more reliably into Collin county. -- Anthony Burokas General Class Ham (KB3DVS) VP: Plano Amateur Radio Klub 每 http://k5prk.net 25-year video producer 〞 IEBA.com

Update from PMC install.
Hi All, It appears that the reason PMC is taking so long to re-approve is they've halted approvals for almost everything due to preparing for the outbreak in Texas as well as the construction on the other building. I've asked them to push through my single repeater install due to a CERT training coming up which is what got that reason. I'm expecting that to install more than that (multiple antennas and microwave links) will take a little longer approval process due to them being overloaded at the moment, I'll keep pushing though.

Today's update from Sam, our speaker form the National Weather Service. He still plans on being here Monday. but. Again, I'll be away on Monday - school spring break for the kids on Frisco so we're taking a trip. If there's a backup idea, it might be good to have something in-pocket in case of a federal closure, or in case more people get fired from the NWS and Sam's included, etc. I don't want to cancel or bump him to a later date after having spent nearly a year trying to schedule a NWS presentation. And I don't want to schedule a second speaker as backup, and then not let the backup presenter present because Sam could still come. Thoughts?
