Our next meeting is the Green Country HamFest in Claremore, OK, April 12 
and 13. Reserve you admission tickets NOW at $8 a head, by checking out 
http://www.greencountryhamfest.org. Advances tickets are $8 each.

OKDXA currently has a free table. If any of you want to bring stuff to 
sell, we can get another club table for $10. If you'd like to do that, 
speak up, as they won't hold it for very long. I've asked for a meeting 
time no earlier than 10 AM, which should give everyone time to get 
there. There's only one room and the only other user right now is the 
ARRL Section Convention, and I don't know what time they've requested. 
If another time (11 AM?) is better, let me know so I can make 
adjustments as early as possible.

Our VP, Randy Wing, N0LD, has begun the work on recovering you ability 
to log in and use the site. I'm not certain what happened, but all user 
information was lost and requires a complete recovery. Randy has been 
working over 60 h a week at his job and simply hasn't had the energy? to 
do much else. Add to this that Randy didn't have the time to train 
anyone else on maintaining the new website.

You should each receive an email from the OKDXA web site telling you 
what your username is and providing a link for you to set your own 
password. If you don't, please contact me and Randy 
(winger55552001 at yahoo.com). This may take a couple of days, so please be 
patient. If you haven't seen anything by Wednesday, drop us a note.

We've decided to address maintaining our web site by forming a small web 
committee (3-4 people) so as to avoid a single point of failure -- which 
is what we just went though. Dave Rossbach, N5DJR, has offered to help 
out with this -- we'll happily entertain other volunteers!

I hope to see you all at the Green Country Hamfest in April!

=======================
Note from K5RKS:

The website now is working OK. I used the new USERID per the e-mail sent 
to me and setup a new password. Then I setup a favorite in my browser to 
point to the new URL for the website. The URL has changed. Now it is 
"www.k5eok.org/okdxa/". When you go to the URL you will get into the 
"public" portion of the OKDXA website.

If you go to "members only" portions of the website then you will need 
to login as a member of OKDXA. To do this go to the META link in the 
lower right corner. Then then enter your USERID and PASSWORD. Now when 
you go to restricted pages they should work OK. For example, to get the 
member ship list go to: " About OKDXA --> Membership -> Member's List". 
The members list comes up FB but it has not been updated yet to reflect 
latest status with people who have recently paid 2019 dues.

My, my, what a shame this pathetic fiasco has been! Randy, N0LD, has managed to virtually destroy the OKDXA...as far as we?re concerned. 

The way Gene Lewis, W5LE, was effectively and summarily dismissed as our  webmaster, when brand new member, Randy, N0LD, opined that he judged the Associaton?s website to be in need of significant updating, and that he would volunteer to see that it was ?improved,? was, in vivid retrospect, unconscionable. 

We have visited personally with Gene, and we?re reporting that even if our membership would now collectively and sincerely express its sincere regrets, it?s too late. Gene is not going to participate in OKDXA affairs any longer...period! 

For the Lewis family, this issue has precipitated the end of a faithful, but sadly, thankless tenure, when Gene and Kelly labored to kept our group functioning and viable. 

We will no longer renew our membership, 

Jim, K5GZ & Ilene, K5IH

There are some statements here that I need to contradict. First, Gene 
was not dismissed, summary or otherwise: that statement is simply false 
and misrepresents how this process came to be. At an OKDXA meeting 
during the Green Country Hamfest, Gene stated that, because he was now 
managing the W5 QSL bureau, we wanted relief from the duties as the 
OKDXA webmaster. As far as I know, he'd been it since the web site's 
inception. Randy Wing, N0LD noted that he could help with the web site 
and would happily recast in WordPress. Randy offered to update the site 
and it's underlying code. WordPress is the de facto standard for website 
development (it's the underlying engine at the National Severe Storms 
Laboratory, where I work). Gene was satisfied that he would no longer 
have to manage the entire website AND the W5 QSL bureau. During the 
process, Gene provided access to all the code underlying the site and 
assistance to Randy as he developed it.

Gene has been subsequently honored with a Lifetime membership in the 
OKDXA for his tireless devotion to the club and the web site.

Every club depends on volunteer efforts of the members in support of 
that club. The OKDXA is no different in this regard. We exist due to 
countless hours volunteered to the club by members. Unfortunately, every 
one of the officers of the club have day jobs. As such, we all have 
limited time to tend to club affairs. That includes the web site. The 
web site was stood up after the October meeting in Stroud, after a 
rather thorough presentation on the underlying structure and design 
philosophy. It's unfortunate that neither you nor Gene could attend to 
see that.

Here is Randy's latest communication to me about the web site (from this 
morning):
_._._
"We simply didn't re-establish everyone's account information right 
after we established the web site.? We did not KNOW everyone's 
password.? So we had to re-establish userid, name, password, address, 
etc in the database for each user.? This is a time consuming process 
that I was trying to find a shortcut for - I simply gave up and started 
hand-entering the data.

The new site wasn't broken - it just wasn't set up, yet.

The one thing that I can take all the responsibility for - 
rebootstrapping the website was a more difficult task than I had hoped 
it would be.? The good news, it shouldn't be hard to keep up to date 
once I finish.? I have about a dozen members in the system so far.? I'm 
recreating Roger's database and updating it with all the recent 
membership renewals."
._._.

So, it was a big job, bigger than had been scoped. I am deeply grateful 
to Randy Wing, N0LD and Harvey Jones, W0HGJ, for their many hours 
volunteered in getting everything up and running. As President of the 
OKDXA, and on behalf of the OKDXA, I say a heartfelt "Thank you!" to 
Randy and Harvey for their efforts. I also say thanks to Dave Rossbach, 
N5GJR, for his offer to help! It's most welcome!

It is unwise to shoot the volunteers that keep things going. The OKDXA 
is more than a website, by quite a bit. The OKDXA is the people that 
make it up and who help each other make it OKDXA happen. Denigrating 
their efforts denigrates us all.

I am looking for a USB to radio CW interface.  Has anyone found a good

gets good reviews, but it is shipping from China and takes a month or more

I will get using this to get my Yaesu FT100D doing CW remotely. Right now I

Do you mean something like a USB to RS232 adapter? I've successfully 
used adapters form WalMart and Best Buy. It used to be that the Prolific 
chip set was the only one that was reliable, but I've never had a 
problem with any that I've bought or used.

Whoa, apologies! I jumped the gun, here. I just read the top part, but 
there's a final sentence... Why not use a K1EL WinKeyer? If you try to 
key the rig from what amounts to a serial port, you won;t be happy with 
the results. Unless you're running in a DOS or FreeDOS configuration, 
Windows may swap out your keying task for something else with a higher 
priority (such as a System call). That means the resulting CW will be 
uneven and choppy. If you don;t have a WinKeyer, check them out at 
http://k1el.tripod.com/keyers.html.

Hi Kim,

Thanks for the information.  The K1EL winkeyer looks like it would work
with the software I would be using.  The reviews on Amazon for the USB to
radio CW interface say that they had no trouble with suttering CW or
anything like that.  Wish it wouldn't take so long to get hear.  It is only
$13 shipped so it might be worth a try.

One of the attractive things about the K1EL WinKeyer is that it can be used as a relatively versatile keyer with a set of paddles. So, at least in a contest situation, you can jump in and send something that isn?t pre programmed.

Don't forget: The OK DX Association has a meeting on April 13th at the 
Green Country Hamfest. I asked for an 11 AM meeting slot, but I haven't 
heard back as to whether that? is now set. Assume it's 11 AM and I'll 
keep you posted.

We have an office to fill at this meeting: the Secretary/Treasurer is 
due for election. So please keep that in mid. This is at least the 
second time around for Bruce Burnette -- it's time for some others to 
join in the fun!

I'd like to hear from all of you about what you'd like to see from the 
club that adds value for *you.* What do *you* think will attract new 
members? There are lots of new hams that have an interest in DXing; what 
do you think we can do (that we aren't already doing) that's valued? by 
new members and new DX aficionados? Any ideas are better than no ideas 
-- we're a smart bunch. Get those creative juices going!

Feel free to send you ideas to me at cw_de_n5op at sbcglobal.net,
