Dear OMIK Family,

On July 2 at 04;30 Gene Newman lost his mother. She was in hospice care and
was comfortable and is at peace now, She had not eaten in 67 days, and no
water in the past 5 days.

I left her side about 02:00 and returned back to her when hospice called
and told me that she had passed.

Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers from my OMIK family. This has
been a tough time and your help is greatly appreciated by the Newman family.

Message-ID: <mailman.18103.1436403562.22967.omik@mailman.qth.net>

Dear OMIK Membership

Next week we will meet in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for the 63rd Annual
Anniversary Convention. The latest reports indicate that our registrations
are less this year than in 2014.  Those of you who have been attending for
the last few years have seen our convention attendance numbers go steadily
down.  While I do understand that everyone can not make the convention each
and every year, it appears past due that I bring this to the attention of
the membership in hopes of finding an equitable way to proceed.

>From a business point of view, if we are not able to book a minimum number
of attendees for the convention we may have to discuss a new strategy in
terms of putting on the Anniversary Convention.  The organization can not
sustain operating the convention at a deficit.  This puts an unnecessary
strain on our budget that can not be sustained year after year.

I also realize that site location plays a major role as it pertains to
attendance.  It has been our custom to choose cities that are accessible
coast to coast.  Currently convention site selection is done at the yearly
convention's General Meeting, but with attendance dropping as it has a
larger percentage of active OMIK members do not have input in the
convention location process.

In an attempt to be more inclusive of the memberships needs and wishes, as
well as a way to possibly increase the number of members able to attend the
convention we have created an on-line comment form related to the current
issues concerning the convention.

Please do what you can to attend the yearly conventions, and please take a
minute to follow the link below to our on-line convention comment form and
register your thoughts which will help us decide what the best direction
for future conventions.

Hi All

A few years ago our organization started OMIK TechTalk which was an
on-the-air discussion of ham radio-related topics. We have decided to
revive this concept in a newsletter format.

The new OMIK Tech-Talk is a monthly distribution of news and technical
articles reviewed, and chosen by our technical staff to provide you with
timely ham radio-related topics collected from different sources on the
Internet and ARRL documentation.

This newsletter will also give our members who don?t frequent the internet
and don?t receive magazines some up to date ham related information. Keep
in mind that this is a work in progress so the format and content is
subject to change.

Dear OMIK family,

This is Melvyn's wife Robin.

A sad update on Melvyn, K0ME. He is currently on life support. The doctors
are not hopeful that he will survive very much  long.

Can I ask for this wonderful family that he cares for so much to send some
prayers that he gets better?  Our new address is:

455 Schutt Rd. Ext., apt. 220
Middletown, N.Y. 10940

He is currently at Orange regional medical center and on a respirator, so
obviously unable to speak to anybody.

Thank you,
Robin

Thoughts and prayers from OMIK.
