Reno County ARA is sponsoring a hamfest in Hutchinson September 21st at

Jerry-AC0RL e-mail: hams at rckara.org   http://rckara.org 

Valley Center ARC Hamfest October 5 will be held at Riverwalk Church of
Christ in downtown Wichita. Contact Steve N0YYI

Here is information about a special event you may have an interest in:

Harvey Houses on the Air Special Event Stations will activate many of
the 84 historic Harvey Houses each year on the second Saturday of
September(in 2018, this is September 8).  It would be appreciated if you
would bring HHOTA to the attention of your clubs and members with the
objective of getting a HHOTA Special Event Station operating at all
Harvey Houses.  Please mention HHOTA in your section newsletter and
suggest the clubs do that too. Last year there were seven HHOTA
activations and this year we are expecting 15.

You probably know Fred Harvey built and operated Harvey House Hotels and
Restaurants (both commonly referred to as Harvey Houses) along western
railroads.  Kansas apparently had thirteen Harvey Houses:  Arkansas
City, Chanute, Dodge City, Emporia, Florence, Hutchinson, Larkin,
Newton, Syracuse, Topeka, Wellington and Wichita.  Fred Harvey’s home
in Leavenworth is also being considered as a Harvey House for HHOTA.
There are also a few just across the border in Oklahoma which Kansas
Hams may be interested in activating.   HHOTA information is at
www.qsl.net/vcara which includes links to more information about Harvey
Houses and the famous Harvey Girls recruited as staff.

I know I’m sending this out late, but i still hope other will be able
to participate.

Thank you and 73,
Andrew Eldridge, AE5NM
HHOTA Coordinator
