Silent Keys

K0DIX-Fred Gamer, Salina
--------------------------------------
May was Dayton time. I know of several Kansans that attended this year
at the new Xenia site. We still call it Dayton, right? I heard there was
some rain. Thats allright because the food was much better than at Hara.
Outdoor Public Service season is in full swing with runs and
bike-a-thons taking place. If you are coordinating one of these events
please take a couple of minutes afterwards to let the ARRL know how hard
your operators worked for the public good. This link takes you to a page
with a fill in the blank report.
http://www.arrl.org/fsd-157-public-service-activity-report . You might
be surprised by the numbers once you stop to think about it.
