Fox Hunting Edification & Amazement
I printed the attached file which is a map of West Plains. I then emailed it to the UPS Store and Angie laminated it for me. I got both 8.5x11 and 11x17. I intend to use this with a compass, straight edge, and dry erase marker just like the basic orienteering shown in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN-c5DQFuhI Have a good weekend, 73 Steve

Fox Hunt
Greetings from your huntmaster of the day. Hunt starts in less than an hour inside the city limits of West Plains. There is a pass-phrase displayed on the fox. When you find the fox, leave it where it is and note the message. Find me and tell me the pass-phrase so that I can log your discovery. That is all. 73 & Happy Hunting, KB0PHX

SkyWarn Recognition Friday and Saturday
Passing this along¡. The closest repeater to access the Southwest Missouri Linked Repeater System (SMLRS) is the Willow Springs 146.985 repeater or Allstar node 565502. The Regional (N0NWS) system¡ Fordland 145.490, Licking 146.850, EchoLink Node: 291849 or N0NWS-R, or AllStarLink Node: 4932. If you have a decent external antenna, you can probably hit the Fordland repeater with a mobile. Check for further info on these systems at https://smlrs.info/ or https://n0nws.com/ If you could get into their simplex net in 145.55, that would be awesome! Heard they¡¯re going to have 3 net controllers spread out across the region. The closest I know of is Rogersville, so it might be difficult, but get those antennas up high and kick on the amp! ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The annual Skywarn recognition day will be celebrated by Southwest Missouri Regional Skywarn Friday December 1st from 6 PM thru Saturday the 2nd until 6PM. Hams are invited to check in on the SMLRS repeater system and the N0NWS repeater system as well as Skywarn simplex 146.55. Schedule as follows: Friday 6PM Teresa Wx_Talk Echolink 7 PM Simplex net 146.55 7PM Regional Gene 8PM SMLRS -------------------- will follow District D ARES net. Saturday 8am Regional Patti 10am SMLRS Lewis 12 pm Regional ---------------------------- 2pm SMLRS ----------------------------- Zello 1PM Saturday LASS Eric

Shared Strippers and Crimpers?
5
Has the club, or anyone, pooled their money to buy a set of coax strippers and crimpers? I would like to buy into the pool to make up a couple cables. If there is no pool, does anyone care to create one with me?

Mark and Terry ....

.... I found the setting I needed to get the Y857 on the air on 2M. I had the tone and the repeater shift programmed, I just couldn't find the name of the setting to change the shift to a negative number. I found it in a completely different menu, set it, et voila!! Soon I'll increase xmit power enough to get out and test whether I reach both repeaters.

Upcoming Events
