Message-ID: <CAEeTWaK4ggn7rbRAFw2zkQhX+sg5PeTeYYA1tySvDoVsSOKt9w@mail.gmail.com>

There will be a Taco Tuesday meeting on Tuesday of this week, November 7,
2023.  The usual brilliant people will be there, along with some of the MWA
club officers.  All are welcome.  Noon at Los Mariachis Restaurant at
University Town Centre. We meet in the back, so you can watch the pro
football highlights entirely without sound, while listening to the edifying
comments of the lunch participants.  The bar is right there also.

Well, I see that sharper eyes than mine have learned to read a calendar.
Taco Tuesday is this Tuesday, but the MWA club meeting is on the 21st of
November.  I never make a mistake.  It was just a test.  See my eBay page
for the bridges I have for sale.  I can read a calendar, but this one must
have been printed too small, or there was dust, or my allergies, or a
nonexistent hand covered the date, or .....

Never mind, just go to the meeting on November 21, not November 14.

Message-ID: <CAD=6qsX48xmdq5sP09RXqwm5HwcJ9cDpcY5rPNwGRSVdzwKBjA@mail.gmail.com>

We would like to announce that the annual MWA Christmas Party/Dinner will
be held on Tuesday, December 19, at Cracker Barrel.  We have reserved the
third dining room from 6pm to closing at 9pm.  We will individually order
off the menu.  There is also a menu you can request that lists possible
allergens for everything.

We will have small gift bags for everyone, including the chance to win one
of 2 $25 gifts cards.

There will also be a raffle.  Please consider bringing items for the raffle
to our November meeting on 11/21 so we can get a good idea of what we have
to work with.  You can also bring your donated items to Taco Tuesdays and
give them to Randy Crowe.  Finally, you can bring them to the party.

This is not a meeting, but a celebration of the holidays.  Your families
are welcome to join us.

Hope to see you all there!

Subject: [W8MWA] Skywarn Recognition Day
Message-ID: <CAAoba32ZUrX91Pu7t4x3vALQP=Y-rmOM69o7YfSowhdpgV_DQA@mail.gmail.com>

The National Weather Service (NWS) sponsors an annual event called "Skywarn
Recognition Day." This gives amateur radio operators a chance to work the
various ham radio stations run by the local NWS offices. From the NWS:

*"SKYWARN Recognition Day acknowledges the contributions of amateur radio
operators and other public service volunteers who provide essential weather
information to the NWS as it's happening. Each year on the first Saturday
in December, the day honors those volunteers who pay attention when the
snow falls, the wind picks up, or the sky turns dark. Their efforts keep
their communities safer by communicating warnings to the National Weather
Service*."

The MWA is an official Skywarn club and the W8MWA 2-meter repeater will be
used as a Skywarn net when weather conditions warrant this..

This year the event will occur on December 2, 2023 from 0000z to 2400z. Not
all the NWS stations will operate over the entirety of the event. Fred
McMullen, Warning Coordination Meteorologist at the National Weather
Service Pittsburgh Office, has provided the attached graphic showing what
times and what bands their station, WX3PIT, will be operating. I encourage
all members with HF privileges to participate.

73,

Jeff, WB1AAL

Message-ID: <008bcbd8-a9c4-4bea-90d3-14bf22f5f32e@comcast.net>

Here's the line-up map for the Christmas Parade. This is very similar to 
what it has been in the past with the exception of traffic coming down 
Price St. this year. As you can see there will be at least 10 people 
from the parade officials we need to shadow for communications. If you 
can come help it's a fun time and a good experience getting involved 
with community service.

Subject: [W8MWA] Recommendations for field use laptop
Message-ID: <CAOo_usDkjcRQ=RLrU5mZKU2Zn8XDBsWO-jZiA6_S_d3RF+ZYoA@mail.gmail.com>

Good evening,

Lately I have been participating in POTA (Parks on the Air) and regularly
activating parks in my area.  My laptop computer is older and the battery
doesn't last very long; therefore, I log my contacts on paper, then
transfer the logs to QRZ when I get home.

I am interested in finding a laptop, or a 2-in-1, for field logging which I
can keep charged with my 20 AH, 12V LiFePO battery.  An added bonus would
be a device which would accept a SIM card and be cell phone network
compatible, as I have an extra mobile number with unlimited data on my USC
plan which I don't use.

Are there any recommendations out there?

I apologize for another late post, but tomorrow, Tuesday, will again be the
right day of the week for Taco Tuesday  at Los Mariachis Restaurant in
University Town Centre.  Noon, back of the room, nerds at the table.

Also, I think I won the CQWW CW this past weekend.  I made 23 contacts, and
some of them were not even in the USA!!!

Special thanks to Steve Miller, K8BBL, for passing this on to us!


Santa is on the air. Get the kids talking: you can give the kids the mic as
long as you have the band privileges and are sitting there with them.

 11/25 ? 12/24 7:15 *Central* 3.916 Santa Net (no FCC exceptions for Santa
so you must have Gen, Adv or Ext privileges to get on this net)

 11/27 ? 12/10 Echolink W0ENO-R or Node 8305. Echolink is digital radio
(thru the internet) so any class operator (Tech, Gen, Adv or Ex) can get on
it.  This is run by two clubs in Northern Colorado on their local 2m and
70cm repeaters. Santa?s call is ?N0P? for this net. Check him out on QRZ
