If anyone is interested or wants to help out, I reached out to the NWS in Springfield as our last 2 Storm Spotting Classes were scrubbed due to....yup you guessed it, WEATHER. I asked them if they had slides we might use to do our own spotter class. Some of us have been to 30 of them. Mostly the same info. They are going to call me back but seemed hip on the idea. I will keep everyone posted as this develops. It might not be needed but I thought why not ask. If anyone has input, please let me know. Thank you. Kevin KA9TAX

Rescheduled Communications Exercise Below is the Forwarded information from SEMA Region G Coordinator We will be looking for one person to run a net and make contacts with someone in each county of Region G Attached is the Communications plan and the instructions. Thanks, Mike N0MIC Mike Coldiron Howell County Emergency Management Director 180 Kentucky Ave. West Plains Mo. 65775 Phone 417-255-0515 Fax 417-255-0514 Email howellcountyemd@... Secure email: Mike.coldiron@... On April 29, 2025, 9:00am-10:30am we will be conducting a Region G Alternate Communications Drill. You can sign up for the drill at https://sematraining.com/exercises/4048. The objectives of the drill are: 1. Demonstrate ability to determine available alternative means of communication within jurisdiction to successfully communicate outside immediate area. 2. Demonstrate the ability to use MOSWIN or HAM radio communications during an incident when cellular network/internet is unavailable. 3. Demonstrate ability to perform appropriate radio communications to verify contact is made to receiving partner(s). The instructions for the drill are attached as well as the communications plan (Radio channels and frequencies). When the drill is completed go to the Survey Monkey link and fill in the information for the After Action Report. This will also be used as proof of your participation in the drill just in case you are not able to make contact. The link to the Survey Monkey is https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7ZCXYZQ . I don’t have everyone’s email so please forward this email to anyone who would be interested in participating. As always feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I hope to hear from everyone next Tuesday. Kent Edge Region G Coordinator State Emergency Management Agency 2302 Militia Drive Jefferson City, MO 65101 kent.edge@... Ph: (573) 338-4717

April 19th and 20th will be Support Your Parks weekend for anyone interested in POTA. I was able to participate in one of these weekends last year and achieve approximately 250 contacts in just a few hours at two different parks. The bands were jam packed with activators and the weather that weekend was perfect!! Tons of fun!! If you're unable to get out to a park, you can always be a hunter from your home and give all the activators the contacts they need! I don't know what I'm going to do yet, but as long as it isn't raining, I'll probably set up somewhere. If you make plans, be sure and share!!

Steve will be net control. Third Tuesday at 20:00 hours is the reserved time for the club to try simplex nets. Last month See notes we discussed whether to keep the monthly simplex. A final decision either way was not reached because we were absorbed testing 2M SSB. Since no one was vehemently opposed to a monthly simplex, I'll monitor the following frequencies and we will go from there. I still want to get going on JJ's idea about the club hosting an HF net. 144.15 LSB This is in the band plan without stepping on the National Calling Frequency. 145.250 FM -0.6Mhz offset and CTCSS 110.9, our local repeater, will be the backup frequency.

Are you ready to get started in Amateur Radio? The first step is to get your technician license! We’re offering a free class starting April 26th and continuing every Saturday until May 17th. The classes will be from 9 am to 12 pm each week at Lybyer Enhanced Technology Center on the MSU-WP campus. At the end of the class on May 17th, you’ll have the chance to take the test for your license. The best part? The class and the test are both free! Just click the link below to sign up. It’ll ask you to “checkout”, but the cost is zero, and that’s how we’ll be keeping track of registrations. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us, and share this anyone that would be interested in joining us! https://square.link/u/DjYEaPPF

LOCATION CHANGE!!! We will conduct our monthly meeting Tuesday evening at the Lybyer Enhanced Technology Center Room 214, 605 West Main St., West Plains on the Missouri State Campus. With the recent weather, the EOC has been in full operation and SEMA is currently using part of it. Mike’s schedule also had a conflict, so this month we’ll be at Lybyer. Spread the word. We’ll have signs and someone to point you toward room 214 when you get there. It’s been a busy month and we have lots to discuss, so I hope everyone can join us. https://maps.app.goo.gl/6ugvrhRaVnVbNiJSA

Hope everyone is staying safe from the weather. It has certainly kept me hopping! I have some work to get done this morning, but hope to get some contacts for the Missouri QSO party at some point today and/or tomorrow! If hope you can as well. Here’s a link with details if you can and are interested. Stay safe. https://www.w0ma.org/index.php/missouri-qso-party

Rick Donaldson Apr 1 READ IN APP From the FCC News Line: The Federal Communications Commission announced today that it will soon ban a wide range of communications equipment due to interference that this equipment is causing to Starlink communications satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The banned equipment includes a range of legacy analog-type circuitry that, according to the Commission, has "lost relevance" and constitutes "an archaic electromagnetic nuisance." Under the proposed Commission action, banned equipment will include all regenerative, super-regenerative, and direct conversion receivers. Thanks for reading Ham Radio for Preppers! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. Subscribed The interference potential of regenerative receivers has been known since the 1920s. Direct Conversion receivers were thought to be less prone to Problematic Spurious Emission (PSE), but in recent months LEO satellites have experienced serious interference from terrestrial sources.

As part of our preparations for the upcoming Technician class, we’re excited to host an Introduction to Amateur Radio Workshop on Saturday, April 12th, from 9 am to 12 pm at the Lybyer Enhanced Technology Center on the Missouri State University-West Plains campus. This three-hour workshop will be an opportunity for us to discuss and showcase various aspects of amateur radio operations. I understand that this is a short notice, but we would greatly appreciate any assistance anyone can provide. As amateur radio operators, we’re well-versed in the unique ways we can communicate using different bands and equipment. I’m eager to showcase as much of this knowledge as possible during this event. The primary objective of this workshop is to attract as many people as possible, answer their questions, and encourage them to sign up for our class, which will commence two weeks later. Since the workshop will be drop-in, having as many volunteers set up and available to assist attendees will be beneficial. I haven’t had the chance to discuss this with Mike yet, but perhaps we could even bring the trailer over to the event that day. I believe the emergency communication aspect might be a significant draw for potential attendees. We’ll begin promoting this event and our class the next couple of days, so please keep an eye out for information on your email and social media platforms. A special ‘Thank You’ to Cathy Boys, who received her technician license at last year’s class, and her team at MSU for helping promote these events and make a classroom available for our class. We look forward to working with her team at the Office of Workforce Development and Community Education to provide these events to our community.

Steve will be net control. I dropped the ball at the last meeting when I failed to add this subject to the agenda. We can discuss during the net. If you can't join tonight, but want to contribute an idea please reply to this post. I'll monitor the thread and report your input to the net. Long story short, back in 2024 JJ had a good suggestion to run an HF net of our own. We settled at the time on this VHF net on the third Tuesday of each month. The practice never became routine so I would like discuss the club's interest in continuing this net and whether to start an HF net. Steve
