Kansas Section News Summary August 2016

Silent Keys

N0WNT- Terry McDonald, Topeka
WA0PBQ- Donald Inbody, Overland Park
------------------------------------------------------------------------
August was busy in Kansas. We had our convention hosted by CKARC with
lots of people and good forums. The cookies and cinnamon rolls were
very good as well. N0GMT implemented a classic Van Plan and brought out
a bunch of guys early that morning. WB0YWZ hosted a WX Net meeting and
we had discussion on the National Parks event as well as Digital
communications. Rod-K0EQH and Evelyn-WB0QYA hosted a dinner at a
downtown restaurant with entertainment. Rod also conducted the QLF
contest at the show. Here is Rod’s official report: 
Results of the QLF -Left Footed CW- contest were:
1st Place....Greg Cerny, WQ0P -he won last year also-
2nd Place...Eric Boyle, N0YET
3rd Place(runner up)..Tim Kresky, AB0S
Judges were Rod-K0DAS and Jim-AC0E
We had people from Goodland, Liberal, Coffeyville, as well as Kansas
City attending again this year. A fun day for sure.

The QSO Party again had great participation. The event website
indicates all 105 counties were on the air and it looks like someone
made a clean sweep. I didn’t have as much time to put into it as I
wanted but still made a handful of contacts. W0BH Explained at the
convention there are many plaques and stamped certificates to be sent
out, maybe you’ll get one.
