Noteworthy Items from the ARRL MO Section Newsletter

I know some on this list get the ARRL MO Section
Newsletter from Dale Bagley, K0KY, so I'm not sending the whole thing. However,
there are three items I thought worth sharing.
Since our club is updating things, the first item
is of importance. I wasn't sure who to send it to directly. I trust it will get
due attention, if it hasn't already.
The remaining two items should be of general
interest.

I’m joining with Keith Haye, WE0G, the MO
Section
Affiliated Club Coordinator to encourage all Affiliated Amateur Radios to update their information on the ARRL website. This is essential in a club remaining an active Affiliated Radio club. The web-link for how to do this is at http://www.arrl.org/club-update . A club official needs to make the necessary updates and then submit them online to the ARRL. It takes about 3 days before the updates appear on the website. To get to your Affiliated Club page, use the following link. http://www.arrl.org/find-a-club then enter Missouri in the Section search option. The MO Section Clubs are organized alphabetically by City. Once you get to your club’s page click on the edit button on the upper right of the screen and off you go. I hope by now that most of you are aware of the
need to contact your
member of the U.S. House of Representative to get them to oppose H.R. 607 in it’s present form. This bill seems designed to eliminate the use, by Amateur Radio operators, of the allocated frequencies on 440 MHz . The following link can be used to get a sample letter to your Congressional Representative so please follow all the instructions provided. http://www.arrl.org/sample-letters I know that there are some concerns about folks not having Microsoft Word as a word processer and thus having problems printing off the sample letter and editing it. Even with Microsoft Word, I had to save the letter before I could edit it. I would suggest that those with this type of problem use the information in the sample letter and compose a comparable letter using their word processor. Here’s a brief
reminder that the MO QSO Party 2011 is just
around the corner. The Boeing Employee Amateur Radio Society has announced that the 2011 Missouri QSO Party will be held April 2 and 3rd. For detailed information about the MO QSO Party us the link provided. http://www.w0ma.org/mo_qso_party.htm Let’s have a great MO QSO Party 2011, see you on the air.
