Many clubs have been discussing the National Parks On The Air  
event and how their club can participate. Kansas has 5 park sites
and 5 trails for you to operate from. Some are easier to work from than
others. You could think of them as domestic expeditions. Here’s a link
to the ARRL site where you can learn more: https://npota.arrl.org 

A new school club has been formed at Olathe North High School.
Contact is Adam- KE0EXZ email: ke0exz at outlook.com

Hiawatha ARC was invited to Hiawatha Middle School to address all the
science classes. They went over what Ham Radio is  and how it is used
when there are natural disasters well as a little propagation theory.
They even made some contacts through the club’s repeater. KB0FVP and
KC0CCR made the presentation at the school while KC0CIO, N0ECP, W0MSC,
KC0RMJ and KB0WOG operated from their respective QTHs.  AF0I was the
point  of contact with the school.

K-Link linked repeater system has a net on Saturday nights at 9PM.
Hosted by Chuck-N0MXI from Minneapolis, the network is comprised of not
only the  K-Link but also Central Region Intertie System of Western
Missouri. Check-ins are taken by region and all stations afterwards.
Dial up your local K-Link station and see who else is there.

The Kansas Antenna Club In Johnson County Participated in Antarctic
Week for the 6th year. With their call sign of K0ANT the club is part
of the Worldwide Antarctic Program. Club members operated from their
own shacks during the week and on the Saturday set up at Kansas
City’s Zoo. Club members operated two HF transceivers  Field Day
style and offered a very nice QSL card. The 9:1 balun and a length of
wire is a favorite antenna of the club and it was put into service this
year for the event. The main purpose of Antarctic Week is to bring
awareness to the work of the scientific community at Antarctica.

Santa Fe Trail continues outfitting a trailer for communication
service.Their goal is to have it ready for this year’s Field Day.
