Greetings:

Congratulations on earning your license.  Ham Radio
has many interesting areas to explore!

We usually meet the last Friday of each month.  Our
net is on 147.060 Thursday evening at 8:00 PM. 

We will have a VE session at the Pryor Public LIbrary
on Saturday the 10th of July from 9:00 AM to about
11:00 AM.

We have over 37 members ranging from age 12 (KE5BNQ)
on up.  I just joined the club about 4 months ago, so
I am still learning a lot about it my self.


Please check out the club Web Page at
www.qsl.net/mcarc, and then follow up with me if you
have specific questions.  It may be a little slow to
load, but there are pictures of our field day there as
a link.

Perhaps we can add the information to the web page
after we answer your questions personally.

If you would like me to call you, please send your
phone number.  I would be happy to try to answer any
questions you may have.

By the way: My wife, KE5BNP, just got her license
about a couple of months ago.  I got my novice in 1979
+-.

Message-ID: <40EED2D8.3060502@ureach.com>

FCC issues callsign

Pryor --- WX5EM is the new callsign for the Mayes County Emergency
Management Radio Club, according to Lloyd Colston, director of Mayes
County EM.

"The new callsign will be used when the Emergency Operations Center
is manned," said Colston.  "If the Citizen is listening to the
147.060 repeater on their scanner and hear WX5EM, something is
happening in Mayes County."

The callsign is indicative of the role of weather.  WX stands for
weather in Morse code.  EM in the suffix stands for Emergency
Management, according to Colston.

"Historically, Mayes County has been blessed with an active radio
club in the area and a number of amateur radio operators involved in
Skywarn.  This is just one way we can acknowledge their efforts."

The callsign may also be used at special events such as the recent
Field Day exercise and on deployments when team members' expertise is
requested.

New Tools for ARRL Clubs

The ARRL Affiliated Clubs Presidents reflector has really
taken off in its first week with almost 100 club presidents
participating so far.  We hope to see many more club presi-
dents sharing ideas.  If you are a club president, past or
present or a VP go to

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/arrl_prez/ and join the group.

Some of the common threads so far have been increasing
membership and member participation.  These two topics are
very closely related to each other in that new members
bring in fresh ideas and are enthusiastic.  This enthusiasm
tends to rejuvenate the exiting membership and involvement
increases.

The old expression that you can lead a horse to water but
you can't make him drink is really not 100% accurate.  If
the horse wants water he'll drink it, but if he wants a beer
then you've led him to the wrong place.

As club officers we are the leaders and we have to lead
our members to the places that the majority of them wish
to go.  But where is that?  That's a simple question and
has a very simple answer, ask them.  Some of the clubs
have a questionnaire that they use to find out what the
membership is interested in.

Make your meeting entertaining.  Quickly dispense with the
business and get on with the program.  The ARRL multi media
library (http://www.arrl.org/FandES/ead/videos.html) has
material that is suitable for programs at monthly meetings.
Your own club has people that are willing to talk about
their special interest in the hobby.  Just ask them.

Many of the clubs have been talking about an information
packet or a welcome packet for new hams.  This has garnered
a lot of good discussion as to what should be included and
many good ideas have come out of the discussions.  A list
of local repeaters and on air activities and a list of
mentors or people that can help out are just some of the
materials suggested for the packets.

Do you have any ideas for the clubs?  Then join the
reflector and share them with the others.


New Amateur Page

We have been telling the clubs about the New Amateur page
http://www.arrl.org/members-only/NEAM/ which allows you to
find new or recently upgraded hams in your area.  This page
allows you to search by ARRL Division or Section or by
ZIP codes.

This page is replacing the new ham report that was previ-
ously sent to the clubs.  The reports are available in a
variety of formats including PDF mailing labels.  This Web
page is provided to the ARRL Board of Directors, Field
Organization leaders and ARRL Affiliated Club leaders for
use in promoting membership and activities such as ARES,
Field Day, or club meetings.  Information derived from this
Web page may not be used for commercial purposes, for
campaign purposes in any ARRL election, or in any way
contrary to ARRL Bylaws

<http://www.arrl.org/aabl.html#bylaws> and policies.

The information on this page is updated monthly and allows
you to search by the different months for the past six
months.  Because it was just launched in May there is only
two months worth of data to search.

A lot of people are using this page since its launch and
they are finding it very helpful as a recruiting tool.  We
anticipate many more people using it as time goes on.  We
appreciate all of the comments that we have received about
it.


Update Your Club Record

If your club has not submitted a club update in two or more
years, please do so. Information about your club is given
to prospective radio amateurs who want to learn more about
our hobby.  In addition other mailings go out on a non-
scheduled basis.  The Annual Report is our way of keeping
your club records at HQ up-to-date.


The Club update

http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/club/forms/fsd2/

keeps your club records at HQ up-to-date and must be
submitted at least once per year.  To stay actively
affiliated, update and submit the on-line form to ARRL HQ.
Simply follow this link and the instruction will guide
you through this.

Please note:  Make sure that all e-mail addresses are
correct.  Do not use web page URLs or phrase like "same as
contact person".

Don't forget the Online Active Club Primer that is full
of useful information for clubs.  Bookmark this page because
you will be using it quite often.

Just in case Ham Holiday is not enough fun for you
and your family at the fairgrounds this weekend,
there  ARE  other activities at that location.

One that might be of interest is the annual Summer
FREE Boat and RV show taking place in four buildings.

I believe there is at least one other activity/show
taking place but can't remember now what it is.

c u there!

Hello,

July 17 and 18 is the Museum Ships Weekend.  Last year I had fun working 8
different ships, using my US Navy RBC receiver on 40 and 20 CW.  I worked
Perry on LST-325, also using an RBC.  You guys who are running ham gear on
the ships: At least put a ships receiver on frequency!!  I enjoyed using my
RCA-built RBC from the RCA lab in Princeton, but hope to be on a ship this
year.

USS New Jersey will probably activate some of their ships equipment.

Not only are there folks that like to work the Special Event Stations 
but Oklahoma HAS the Batfish with a callsign of WW2SUB.  If you've never 
been on the boat, it's worth a family outing to Muskogee to see her.

Posting this for two reasons:

1)	If you can help her, please do so off list.  The individual is not a 
member of any lists.  I got this from the Disaster Research list.
2)	Letting you know that there is great consideration of amateur radio 
operators worldwide for disaster communications.

New Head of Oklahoma ARES Introduced at Ham Holiday

At Ham Holiday Hamfest, which took place in Oklahoma City July 16-17,  ARRL
Oklahoma Section Manager John Thomason WB5SYT introduced to Oklahoma hams to
the new Oklahoma Section Emergency Coordinator.
Lucien Jones KD5LPV is your new Oklahoma Section EC and was recommended
highly by the retiring Oklahoma Section Emergency Coordinator John Turner
KA7GLA.

Thomanson told members at the ARRL forum that, "Jones brings a great deal of
emergency service experience, written and presentation skill, served agency
networking success and emergency communication training completion".
Thomason also added "Thank you Lucien for your efforts as the Section
anticipates solid management of our emergency communication service. The
importance of this aspect of the ARRL Field organization cannot be
overstated. The citizens of Oklahoma deserve the best Amateur Radio can
give. Please give Lucien your highest level of cooperation and
availability-good things will happen! You will find Lucien Jones KD5LPV to
be approachable and informed."

Thomason also thanked John Turner-KA7GLA for his years of service as
Oklahoma Section Emergency Coordinator. Turner worked tirelessly to make the
system workable and responsive. He developed a quality understanding of the
people and system pertinent to emergency communication in Oklahoma; no
simple task. Turner has put in more hours weekly than most realize to make a
positive difference.

"John's (Turner) commitment to service to the ARRL Field Organization and
ultimately to the population of Oklahoma is noted and so much appreciated",
stated Thomason.

I live in the Houston,area and have a Kenwood TMD-700A... and 
will be traveling to the OKC area in a few weeks. I am looking for 
someone with a TMD-700A in the metro area who would be willing to e-mail 
their program data files, with which I would then "clone" my radio, 
using my laptop, upon arrival there.

I have a "ham radio" web site, where I have posted both a direct link to 
the Kenwood TMD-700A program software server... AND also have my 
complete southeast Texas program with all of the Houston area 2-meter 
and 440 repeaters, including PL tones and text display. The instructions 
are posted on the below web site.

There is no reason this procedure should be limited to Kenwood radios, 
save for the requirement to purchase Icom and Yaesu program software.

I envision expanding the site for multiple radios as well as several of 
the metropolitan areas around the country. Imagine being able to save 
like data for 30 to 50 cities on a CD, if you're someone that does a lot 
of traveling.

As a dealer... you could refer a new buyer to the web site, as a way in 
which one could get a "jump start" on programming the radio!

My web site is a hobby. There is no advertising and never will be! You 
can find the program information by "cursoring down" to the very bottom 
of the front page.

Feel free to pass this along and/or post it in your store... especially 
to someone who has a TMD-700A and are willing to "share" files.
