Do you think it should be posted here each month, or should it be left up to individual members to subscribe if they want this info?

I want to encourage all those that enjoy operating in contests to mark their calendars for April 2 and 3, 2011. Those are the dates of the Missouri QSO party that’s sponsored by the Boeing Employees Amateur Radio Society of St. Louis. To get the rules and other information go to http://w0ma.org/mo_qso_party.htm and at the bottom of the page click on the rules link.
I had the pleasure of visiting with Jerry Gentry, WAØH who lives in Springfield, MO, at the OMAR Hamfest last month. He told me about the latest version of the logging program he had written called MicroLog. Jerry has just upgraded his MicroLog making sure that it can run under most Microsoft operating systems and he has added several new features to earlier versions. MicroLog can be used to assist operators who want to keep track of contacts and in addition it will keep track of records for awards like WAS, DXCC, Counties, 10 x 10, IOTA and about half-dozen other awards. One of the features of the program I like is a built in database for U.S. Amateur Radio ops. FYI, Jerry’s website is www.wa0h.com .

North Kansas City Hamfest was held on January 15, 2011 in North Kansas City, MO. This was the second year for the NKC Hamfest sponsored by the Northland Emergency Response Group.
