Desperation had lead to many having to survive by eating small animals including pets and tulip bulbs, some of which were poisonous. In the final days of the war operation Manna / Chowhound was launched to help those people. The first ever use of air power in a humanitarian mission. Some of the Stations The Station in Aus

Claremore Hamfest- really the Green Country Hamfest is 1 month away.. It's 2 day hamfest and the best hamfest with in 250 miles of Wichita.. I've been going 15-18 years.. $10,000 in prizes.. A better hamfest would be Dallas-Ft. Worth... but over twice as far.. Tables are almost sold out. I bought my 5 tables in January.. I'm right across from Associated Radio of Overland Park-Kansas City. Here is the website to the flyer.... http://www.greencountryhamfest.org/index.php Beautiful ride down I drive through Gardner to Caney, Bartlesville.. on the way back... Skiatok -through the lake, to Pukuska, to Ponca city ( about 5 casino's enroute) New Roads most of the way.. Since participating in Oklahoma Hamfests, I don't even bother going to anything in Kansas.. Years ago I would buy a table or two for W?VFW to sell donations the club would receive during the year.. But I'm too old and feeble now.. If you act fast you could maybe get a table or two for the club Larry W8LM

Flash back 1976- a group of hams formed the Bi Centienal Worked all States net.. It was really fun.. The ARRL offered a BICentinial WAS award.. at th eend of the year, some of us decided to continue the group, and offr -especially new hams with modest or QRP sttions a chance to work all states and other such awards.. On 2 occasions I was involved in we had all 50 states check into the same net on 80 meters. Both times I was #50 Alaska.. They have expanded to multi modes, multi bands and have quite a following. I am a charter member of the group.. and they just announced this years eyeball.. It floats about the country. anyone ever hear of Guntrie, OK??? Now it's the same weekend as Huntsville, AL.. 3rd largest hamfest in the country, so I'm torn..Huntsville is 800 miles. Here's what I know: The 2025 Eyeball will be in Guthrie, Oklahoma. Dates for the event are August 14-17, 2025. The location is the Logan County Fairgrounds Education Building, 215 Fairgrounds Rd, Guthrie OK 73044. This site is just a few minutes west of I-35. Guthrie is a town full of history. It is the county seat for Logan County. It was the first capital of the State of Oklahoma. In 1910, Governor Charles Haskell called a special election to decide a permanent location of the capital and Guthrie lost to Oklahoma City. Guthrie residents are still salty about the loss. Many of the downtown buildings are at least one hundred years old. One such building currently houses a Federal Court and the Post Office. The registration is $90.00. If you want to register now, you can send me a check or money order to my QRZ address, made out to Clay Mayrose. You can also Venmo the funds to me at: 405 201 6343. Matt, K2YS is working on the Eyeball webpage and there will be online payment and more information there. If you have special dietary requirements, let me know privately. My personal chef is well adept in these matters. You can easily operate from the Capital (Oklahoma City) 25 minutes south. If you are a POTA activator, there are two entities in Guthrie. One more entity is about 30 minutes south and several more that are less than two hours away. I will research the park numbers and post them later. The two Guthrie entities should be close enough to do the QRP nets. (one mile) I will have to test that out. Here are the places to stay in Guthrie (listed best to worst) Holiday Inn - 2227 E Oklahoma Ave Guthrie 405-293-6464 (free breakfast) This is the best choice according to the Emergency Manager Hampton Inn - 401 Cimarron Blvd 405-293-9595 La Quinta --406 Heather Rd.

Good morning, I was talking to some hams last night and the subject of he radio nets came up. During this computer search I found a new net secudal for the American Legion. Go to the national web sight and put in a mature radio nets. Tonight is one of them. I am having a computer problems so not able to do attachment. I also talked with Montie at the Grove OK post and they didn't know of you. Call them some time, your well within radio range of each other. Chuck KB0TOT

I have not seen much activity, when is the next meeting?

Dear Santa, R&L electronics in HAMilton, Ohio.. (one of the best Ham Stores I've ever been to) has the ICOM 7300 with a 30amp power supply- Free Shipping for $999.95..A year or 2 ago just the ICOM 7300 was $1300.. I've never used one, but they are probably the most popular HF-6 meter rig going these days along with quite a selection of rigs from Yaesu. Announced this past week is a new Raspberry Pi (RPI) Model 500.. It is modeled after the RPI400 which is quad core and 4Gb of memory. Both are encased with their own keyboard, The RPI500 is 2.4 times as fast and has 8Gb of RAM. The RPI 500 is selling for $90-120 USD. I like the keyboard feel. Dave Slaughter K3DJS is keeper of the HAM-PI suite. A collection of over 200 ham related programs for the RPI's..I use that program suite on my RPI400 and have i connected to my YAESU FT-991A Both.offer dual video HDMI outputs. Both run LINUX.. The big advantage of the RPI400-500 is that it will run with a 5 volt phone charger, and means it can run on a 12 volt adapter. Many video screens- including the official RPI15.1 inch monitor ($100) also will run on DC.. Making it perfect for EMCOMM-POTA-PORTABLE use.. So, Santa should you decide to get anyone these wonderful gifts for Christmas, be sure to include on the packaging from Santa and Larry W8LM...after all I suggested it.. Larry W8LM

When K-link announced sunset years ago, Sunflower was set up to do statewide linking. There’s been a little interest but very little do. The do part is simple. Connect your device on any mode desired to any mode the system offers. One solution is to make an M17 repeater, the first in this Stare, and join that way. There’s grant money for such as this and help online and in Oklahoma, home of the first in that State. The goal has been a statewide network such as Alabama, Illinois, Oklahoma, and others have. I still believe in Santa and this goal. At any rate, tomorrow, Echolink, Echophone, Droidstar are three modes to use on your PC, tablet, or phone to participate. 73 -- Lloyd Colston, KC5FM SunflowerNet.us Hamshack Hotline 50052

Well, rain thwarted my continuing the tower install.. Instead i worked on what will be a mobile install- hotspot.. etc.. I mentioned ha tI picked up a 4G LTE hotspot and decided to set it up for use in my new FORD as I'm not sure what eventually will be my mobile set up.. Here's the latest... i picked up a Fanklin T9 4G LTE hotspot on Ebay... they are labeled as T-mobile and are new in the box, and unlocked.You buy them outright for just under $20...Here is the link from the vendor https://www.ebay.com/itm/226184712608 There are other vendors selling the units.. Make sure they ar eunlocked or the vendor tells you the unlock proceedure. They are GSM-- so they will work on T-mobile or AT&T type networks.. Boost, Mint, Tello, Cricket as some of the cell companies that use GSM and therefore AT&T or T-mobile towers. You have to get a SIM card from a carrier, plug it in activate it and then pair it to a amateur radio hotsopt.. I used Tello.. the have a DATA only plan 5Gbps a month for $10.. now they don; cut you off, they only throttle you during high uses periods --unless you buy more data... i have been told 5Gbps is plenty for ham radio use.. It's about the same as listening to podcasts, and 5Gbps gets you 135 hours of pod casts according to one advertiser.. Tello web site I used to sign up and order the SIM is: https://tello.com/buy/custom_plans I signed up for 5Gb DATA - NO minutes (talk and text) for $10 per month.. Now when they arrived and I set i tup an activated it .. only 15 minutes on the computer.. I needed to pair it with a ham radio type hot spot. it can be MMDMV or OPENSpOT - for digital work... or ALLSTAR for Analog HT's and such.. An analog hot spot that does Allstar and Echolink is the Shari, but there are others.. it can be pretty inexpensive Raspberry PI 3A+ and a sound card dongle that can be made for under $50.. You could also use a smart phone and cellphone app like DV switch.. My openspot 2 allows me to transcode Fusion to DMR and back again... The open spot 2 is n longer made, but still supported.. The MMDMV's can be found on ebay, amazon, Temu and banggood.. I have one as a kit but I have not played with it. I like Hamkit products.. SHARI's and Dinah..products.. Now regarding the club.. The VHF repeater is on ALLSTAR Blind hams.. Te UHF wa son K-LINK and K-LINK is now defunct.. Howerver there is another KANSAS STATE type network that seems no tto have the politics of the former K-link It's Called Sunflower Net.... The possibility that the club ma want to place o the UHF repeater as a suggestion...Here is the "poop" sheet on Sunflower Net... http://http://sunflowernet.us/ I have been told, the Quarter Century Wireless has it's nets there. So does skywarn.. Finally as on November 6th.. I will have been licensed going on into my 59th years. November 6th 1966.. .

I do see and read that we have a problem with way too many unused repeater pairs. I also think we have too many over lapping coverage areas with no variety of on going subject matter, or exact same conversation taking place. Most of the described problems are in the 28,52,900 NFM bands. I don't think this is a good solution. I don't see how the federal government can place a taxable value on a non revenue generating community service. After all we are texted like professional employees, but we are described as "Amateur's" https://youtu.be/Jw--QAGLHoU?si=2AHN35yjObT9vBy_ 73'$ Chuck KB0TOT

Everybody, I traded trucks and removed my antenna and found it was damaged where the door had been pinching it. I need to splice the damage. Any suggestions? Mike

A month ago, I took a drive u to Detroit -my home town and picked u a New Ford Maverick Hybrid on the Ford Employee and immediate family plan. I have a brother in law who is an Audio engineer at Fords. Anyhow. It doesn't even have 1600 mile on it and the trip back from Detroit was 1100 miles. Being a hybrid, I have not yet got out my Spectrum analyzer to see how clean the electronics are.. My last car, a German made vehicle had NO RFI at all. I pulled the HF radio from it and sold the car to my nephew. before I install any ham gear in the car the car has navigation and locator- remote start and can tell me and the cops where it is if it's stolen. Ford has suspended the 10 device Wi-FI that's supposed to be in the truck because of chip shortages and that's a bone of contention. Since ford has partnered with AT&T.. when and if they offer wifi hot spot, it will be on AT&T at $20 per month.. well.. I am looking into TELO.. its 10 dollar s month service for 5 Gb of 4G LTE, good enough for video and audio. Tello seems to use T-Mobile GSM towers... I picked up a hot spot for $13 on Ebay. All should be arriving today.. and I will probably put it in my new Ford and use wither Fusion, DMR or Allstar for World wide connection..Plus I can take my hot spot anywhere... . Verizon and AT&T hot spots are about $50 per month.. so I'll give this a try and see how it works.. I plan on reporting back as to my success or failure.. but at $10 a month and $3 initial investment ,, It will give me world wide communications in the car with a talkie.. before I drill any holes or have to fight RFI... I did listen on AM radio and the hash is pretty clean but HF is another matter.. So stay Tuned...
