Tim, I have attached the Activities slides for Monday. Thank you! Richard Seitz

Hello - my slides are attached.

I will most likely not be at the meeting. My dad is improving but may be moving to another place on Tuesday. I emailed my proxy today. I bet though that someone moves to accept the slate by acclimation. :) 73 Neil

I've recently added a little led flashlight light to my collection. it's a magnetic light that I lassoed to my belt. So it's always within reach and merely grabbing the magnetic light and pulling it out of the base turns it on, so it's on as fast as I grab it. It also recharges via USB. And it's kind of a fidget device too, with the magnet that yanks it back into the holder. I think something like this (doesn't have to be this one, would be a nice alternative to little radios for the holiday giveaways. https://amzn.to/48u05UJ -- Anthony Burokas General Class Ham (KB3DVS) VP: Plano Amateur Radio Klub – http://k5prk.net 25-year video producer — IEBA.com

Sorry Neil, I meant to post this this to the board In light of the hurricanes in Florida and the likely increase in the number and severity of weather incidents, it seems reasonable to add emergency preparedness to our Field Day in 2025. Ham Radio is relevant and in does have a role to play in regional disaster assistance. The Hurricane Tracking Center in Miami broadcasts on 40 and 20 meters so HF is not just viable, it's relevant. If power is off, then HF may be the only way to send civilian messages outside the disaster area. Take a look at these articles that Tim and Dick posted: https://www.wired.com/story/hurricane-helene-milton-north-carolina-florida-amateur-radio/ https://www.radioworld.com/news-and-business/headlines/ham-radio-operators-assemble-ahead-of-hurricane-milton So, perhaps PARK could make its Field Day mission more about the role we as Hams can fulfill in an emergency. In preparation for this year, I'd like to propose that we begin reaching out the Red Cross, the Salvation Army and the City of Plano to integrate and participate in our Field Day to prepare PARK to take on an emergency role if we are needed.

Maranda, Dick, Thanks for taking a few minutes to look at the K5PRK-10 packet node. As it happens, as we were disconnecting the jitsi call, I connected to the N5REG-10 packet node in Rowlett. Connect, download a single email to disconnect took 60 seconds. Looks like we need a better internet connection. Thanks, Tim

Driving around today, I thought of a new member I met at one meeting, and then can't recall seeing them again. That got me to thinking that it's a missed opportunity with new members, or even guests, interested people, coming to a meeting, and us not immediately getting their information and following up - making them feel valued, that we are interested in them. As opposed to them being interested in us, which they are, or else they wouldn't have shown up. They did half, now we have to reciprocate the interest or they feel we don't care. If there was a new member liaison - someone already usually at every meeting, who would be tasked with meeting new people, shake their hands, have an initial conversation with to get their information and permission to e-mail them after the meeting. Secretary doing sign-in? The President leading the meeting? Find out where they live, what their interests are and then pair them up with an Elmer in the club - whether it be local communication, assisting with events, emergency preparedness, digital modes, contesting, CW, whatever. Part of this is the idea that the club ALSO has an ongoing dialog with its members and knows who in the club really likes and participates in this, or that, to be able to make the appropriate connection. And then the new member liaison would follow up in a few weeks, inform about the next meeting, nightly nets, HF nets, etc, Again establishing the club's interest in the potential new member. -- Anthony Burokas General Class Ham (KB3DVS) VP: Plano Amateur Radio Klub – http://k5prk.net 25-year video producer — IEBA.com

Michael, For your future Field Day Coordinator planning.

I'm interested in getting involved with this. Let me know how I can help. I can share the Technician Class details on my channel, if you want, and Emergency Preparation is a popular topic right now. Lots of information to cover and discuss. I wanted to attend the Plano Preparedness Fair today but I was out of town. If y'all have a club or zoom meeting to discuss details on this, please let me know. 73 Jason Johnston KC5HWB, Ham Radio 2.0 817-601-7228 | www.HamRadio2.com | jason@...

So you have preparedness groups, suppliers, boy scouts coming in for ham radio badge or camping setup, red cross talking CPR and home emergency kits, TBM talk about volunteering, fire departments covering smoke detectors having a home evacuation plan, and expanding out from there, CERT, Skywarn, etc. Schedule certain talks and presentations throughout the afternoon, and then again Sunday morning, All the while, Ham Radio ops are doing field day, and inviting the public to learn more, even give it a try. This to try and expose ham radio to a much wider audience than it currently gets exposed to right now. What would your thoughts on this be?

----- Forwarded Message ----- From: BEST of Texas Robotics <texasbest@...> To: "dm.af5qj@..." <dm.af5qj@...> Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2024 at 08:06:47 AM CDT Subject: Support BEST of Texas Robotics on North Texas Giving Day: Feed the Future Innovators! As we approach North Texas Giving Day on September 19, I wanted to reach out to our incredible volunteer community. BEST of Texas Robotics is committed to providing life-changing STEAM experiences for students, many of whom come from Title 1 schools where resources are limited. This year, we need your support for a special cause—Feed the Future Innovators during our upcoming State Championship. Click to give https://rb.gy/741i19 For many of these students, the cost of transportation and lodging is already a challenge. Often, this leaves little to no funds for meals, and teachers end up covering the costs themselves. That’s why we’ve launched the Feed the Future Innovators initiative to ensure no student goes without a meal during our two-day event. We are aiming to feed 2,500 students over the course of two days, and every $15 donation feeds a student for the day. How You Can Help: Donate on North Texas Giving Day: Every dollar counts. Your contribution will directly support meals for students and alleviate the burden on their teachers. Click to give https://rb.gy/741i19 Executive Director Match: Any donations made before September 15 will be matched, up to $1,000, doubling the impact of your gift to ensure our students are well-fed and focused on their competition. Click to give https://rb.gy/741i19 Spread the Word: Share our cause with your network! The more people we reach, the closer we get to our goal of raising $25,000 for student meals. Click to give https://rb.gy/741i19 Our students come to BEST of Texas Robotics to learn, grow, and develop the workforce skills that are critical to their future success. Let’s make sure they are well-fed and able to focus on building the future of STEAM. Click to give https://rb.gy/741i19 Thank you for all that you do to support our mission.
