World Amateur Radio Day is April 18th. If your club or group is doing
something for that occasion remember the public relations opportunity.

A lot of operating took place this winter.
K0ANT-Kansas Antenna Club IN Johnson County participated in Antarctic
Week end of February. The Club set up at the Kansas City Zoo operating
Phone and CW with short end-fed antennas. Participating and providing
equipment were KB0MZF, W0CC, KC0FEZ.

Santa Fe Trail operated a Kansas Day Special Event station from the
K0DDS antenna farm near Gardner. Operating 15, 20 and 40 meters 7
operators made 113 contacts with 22 states and over 15 countries. Most
of the contacts were with sideband on 15, it was wide open. They might
have made more contacts but people were interested in hearing about
Kansas and the club members were more than happy to accommodate. Some
info provided by Rick Nichols and SFTARC newsletter.

Freeze Your Keys event of the combined Pilot Knob and Jarbalo clubs
started out below freezing but heated up by the end of the day. 17
people signed in during the 19th Freeze Your Keys held at Weston Bend
State Park across the river in Missouri. Operating QRP and low power
they made 75 contacts with 21 states and 3 DX(England, Belgium, Azores)
Everyone gained experience with station set up and operating. And as
usual Martha-W0ERI made chili and cornbread.

South East Kansas ARC is celebrating 10 years. The bunch has a weekly
mid-morning coffee, monthly meetings and operating events. Most of the
members are on HF several times a week.
