For those assisting with the Field Day activities in Park City.1. Keep track of mileage to/from plus any costs for transportation such as Uber, etc.2. Track the hours you actively participated 3. Provide a total number of people from the ARC who assisted.4. We CANNOT fund raise for the W0VFW ARC or the Post in order for our time to count.This counts as community service for the Post as "we" will be educating the public concerning Ham radio and the benefits thereof.Gaylen W. Klein, USN(Ret.)President W0VFW ARC

The Radio shack Sidewalk Sale event will be this upcoming Saturday Jun17th... Sunrise to NOON. WE still need volunteers.. II checked the 7 day forecast.. Rain before and after, but Saturday will be partly clouds- 92 high.. At 5am- I will set-up my 10x10 canopy, folding tables and the box of "junk" from the VFW. We have been authorized to liquidate it. I have a cash box with seed money in to to make change. I expect my seed money back. Or if that's unacceptable, arrangements for a cash box, and change must be made between now that Saturday. If you have anything to add to the sale, please bring it- the caveat is if it sells proceeds to the VFW amateur radio club. If it doesn't sell, you take it back, or it goes in the dumpster. All items are donation offers. So there will be good deals. At the VFW we have raffle tickets. we coul dhave a 50/50 raffle or perhaps raffle a special item. I may donate as a fund raiser. Current volunteers are:Larry W8LMGaylen Kline KE?QPG Micheal Holmes.. KE?WPG Bring folding chairs, bottled water or snacks to share.

All, When I was in ambucs, I found out each Walmart manager has a descretionary donation fund, maybe a couple of us can go to a few Walmarts, and solicit donations and/or a tv. With Walmart, it is best that two go. We can stress how important our group would be, in times of emergency, especially in tornado alley. And how it is in maintaining our repeaters, and how the repeaters will be vital to the security of the community at a large. And how during 9/11 there was no cell phone service for two days, only ham and TV and radio. Michael Holmes

Recovering nicely, able to use my cane w/o falling over. Still need a watchman while I'm in the hospital, something along the lines of a fall risk and liability. ? May go home today, doctor showed up late yesterday so I don't know. Between the Flexerall and Tylenol w/Hydrocodone the pain has subsided considerably and I'm not using the neck brace as much. Though I'll probably use it when I sleep. One of the doctors was worried about my EKG, she said I had an elongated QT wave which, apparently it is a precursor to V-Tach. She said "I'm glad you didn't go into V-Tach on my watch...", frankly I'm glad I didn't either ? . So...that's the state of affairs on my end.Thanks for all the kind thoughts and prayers, hugs and handshakes as appropriate. Gaylen W. Klein, USN(Ret.)

Hi Ham Family Vic sent this to me and I am trying to share it with you. Hope this works. This is a list of items that belonged to MOE, otherwise known as Don King. Blessings Pat Hawkins PS. If you don’t see the file please let me know.

The inventory file - "W?VFW Equipment inventory 20230606" has been uploaded to the Files section of W)VFW.groups.io. The items that should be offered for sale are all listed under the column "SELL" -with affirmation, "YES"... The values listed however are arbitrary meaning that we probably will not get that price, Especially if we are asking for donations. . Serialized items are indicated. The 2 G5RV portable HF antennas I recommend keeping- they were used previous years on Field Days when W?VFW participated. Let me re iterate that I will provide a canopy, tables and early set up at 5am the day of the sidewalk sale. Because I live closest to the Side Walk sale. UNLESS I KNOW IN ADVANCE OTHERS WILL MAN THE TABLES REPRESENTING W?VFW FROM 6AM TO NOON JUNE 17TH, i AM NOT ABOUT TO MAN THEM ALONE. NOTIFY ME BY REPLYING TO THIS POST AS TO WHO IS VOLUNTEERING- SO EVERYONE KNOWS. Anyone wishing to donate any "junk box" items to the cause may bring them to the Sidewalk Sale when they work it. All member donations not sold at the side walk sale will be sent to the dumpster. The intent is to clean out the surplus- junk - fund raise and NOT grow a junk box. Out space is limited at the VFW.

Hello Ham Family Gaylen’s wife Jenny asked me to report that his surgery went well, however, he will be staying overnight in the hospital. Please keep Gaylen and Jenny in your prayers. Blessings Patricia hawkins, KE0TGA

I saw headWAY being made along with some setbacks. Setback being the WARC situation for field days.. Typical of my 15 year dealing with that group since I 1st came to Wichita, attended 3-4 meetings at the Red Cross and was never asked who I was, if was a ham and if I wanted to join. I have other stories but my opinion only. FYI they have VE ham Testing June 3rd. Just saying, I am convinced it's the water here in Wichita, as living elsewhere and belonging to other ham radio clubs. as my QRZ brag lists clubs I've belonged to over my many years. And I was dumb enough to pay my dues for next year all ready... The second set back - Gaylen..his operation next week. So I think it behooves all of us to pitch in becasue it's not his fault he an old sailor. topics we need to address - either here by comment or at the exec board meeting. 1#. I am making headway on my rental. I have received a partial insurance payment for some of the damage the tenant did. However try getting a contractor these days. I have a guy that has 3 projects he's juggling plus he was to start enclosing my back porch 2 months ago, A project we agreed to over a year ago. Fortunately, this contractor is a good Christian and hard working. Anyone want to see his work. I am impressed. Still my rental is out of commission and not income producing. 2#. I have a table for the June 3rd Dallas fort Worth Hamfest. I will be gone June 2-3 as I need to get rid of things that are pre-covid and hamfests shut down for 2-3 years. 3#. I do have an opinion that June, July, August and September.. We have the meetings in the Patio.. I and others would trade heat for smoke. A topic the exec board to recommend. Patio heat is still better than air conditioned smoke. 4#. We almost need to move prior to the EXEC meeting. regarding a junkbox of "stuff" we have in the ham shack. I will obtain permission of the Commander as it is VFW property, to be able to sell it at the Derby Radio Shack Side Walk Sale. A. I have a brand new never used 10x10 canopy. B. I have 3- 8 foot folding tables C. I have a cash box I can load with about $40 in change ( everyone has $20's and want to buy a $1 item) seed money we can start with. D. I can get tHere at 5am and set up the canopy and get a good spot. E. I MUST HAVE HELP. SO HELP ME - I AM NOT DOING IT ALONE!!! My supposed to last 10 years pig valve will be over 12 at the sidewalk sale. F. If someone has an item to donate to the tables with proceeds to the VFW you would bring the tables. G. Anything not sold (VFW historically has asked for a donation) Will go into the dumpster.. or you take it home. no exceptions. H. Years past we rotated crews with trips across the street for breakfast.. J. Someone could bring a cooler with bottled water and or donuts for workers. k. The would run from 5am till Noon.. I believe June 17 as Field Days is June 24-25. L. Our selling junk and donations at the Sidewalk sale and at hamfests years prior has been the only revenue the club has except for membership dues. Comments ? Volunteers? please Reply.. Larry W8LM.

All, can you please look at www.w0vfw.org and give me comments.

Sent from my iPhoneHere are the minutes that should have gone out for April.

Hi, it's Chuck in KC, Just wanted to ask you for your area findings and what if any plan of action your CERT/RACES teams have regarding this sudden blackout. Due to work issues, I have been out of my home city for almost a month. When I got home I found a major outbreak of criminal gang activity. One of my responses was to turn on my high-dollar trunk tracking scanner. I was shocked due to what I haven't been able to hear. What I was seeing wasn't generating normal radio traffic. I posted a similar question on Larry's List on a Yahoo group like this. My response was somewhat shocking. I received a lot of direct contact responses because they didn't want to be seen by outsiders. A general summary of what was said is this. " Police Departments requested the Federal Government to start the in-mandate phase to blackout all government radio communication. This includes: 1. Weather alerts and emergencies Live ground truth reports we as CERT & RACES make use of.... 2. Live Fire Dept and SAR ground Thuth reports that we would Make us off in CERT & RACES... I know a few of you in this group have leadership positions in emergency management. In closing, I have talked about this on several radio nets in my area and everyone was surprised Also, a few responders said we needed to set up a special radio net on 2M/FM just for CERT&RACES hams in all groups in East Kansas due to the possible need for mutual aid due to the low number of hams doing this work. They would like to start this on field day late afternoon. I think 6M/FM would also be good. I am putting up a base antenna for this over the next few days any way. 73s Chuck Digby KB0TOT 913/648-2585 Masterdowser@...

To all W?VFW members here. Ann Marie N8NCC passed away 22 years ago today. Actually she was a ham before we were married. Obtained her Novice 1st than her Tech. license. She was interested in public service, and enjoyed Field days- in the kitchen at the Field days, attending hamfests and meeting other hams. Especially ham couples. We had a little hamfest business "ANN-tennas" so we traveled weekend in her mini-van. Maybe someday I'll resurrect it. When we lived in Royal Oak, Michigan. One day we were grocery shopping and she disappeared. I found her in the produce section and she was talking to none other than Dr. Jack Kevorkian- Doctor Death. . So I went off and finished shopping. I never asked what they spoke of. I wonder. Another favorite story about her. She signed up to be a net control operator for the famous 5 state -multi day Tour de Dupont bicycle race. It covered parts of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Washington DC. There were guys that poo-pooed a XYL as net control. Little did they know she has Skywarn and public service net control jobs in Detroit, before moving to Northern Virginia. Net control forwarded information from check points to the judges, as well as coordinating, sag-wagons and 1st aid. Big operation involving hundreds of people. She handled the net the with such professionalism, they extended her time and invited her back the remaining days and the following year. She died suddenly post surgical and was 38 years old at time of her death. Her son obtained her call sign a few years later. He became a member of VFW post 3115 and the W?VFW Amateur Radio Club as well. She is buried with her parents and our son in the Shenandoah Valley of West Virginia about 50 miles due west of Washington DC. The N8NCC call continues as a club callsign and as the ID on a UHF repeater and soon a wide area ALLSTAR node locally here. The tower erection has been delayed but I hope to complete it soon. It will increase coverage of both tremendously. Thanks for reading, Larry W8LM ARRL Life Member- Licensed 57 years

Just a brief reminder to you all that Thursday means VFW net. Come join the fun at 7pm on the 145.270 repeater. Hope to see you there. Blessings Pat Hawkins

Last week from my truck I was barely heard, this week I transmitted several times at 20 watts and nobody heard me. My antenna is new and a hood mount. Mike

A rare reversed-polarity sunspot exploded today, producing a long-lasting M-class solar flare and a CME that might hit Earth. Geomagnetic storms are possible this weekend if/when the CME arrives. Full story and updates @ Spaceweather.com.

All,The network connection to the ham shack has been restored. Larry - if you would be so kind as to ensure the AllStar node is functional I'd appreciate it. Gaylen W. Klein, USN(Ret.)President, W0VFE ARC
