New Affiliated Clubs!
Indeed we have three new League affiliated clubs in the Oklahoma
Section. Thanks to these clubs for their commitment to public service
while wearing the banner of the American Radio Relay League:
Durant Amateur Repeater Association
McCurtain County ARC
South Metro Amateur Radio Team-OKC
Route 66 held September 9-17
Goodness what a great event this was!
Wonderful activity all over with very enjoyable visits to the Tulsa
ARC and West Central OK ARC in Elk City. The Harley-Davidson Route 66
served as a splendid host for a Saturday. Great seeing the TARC
members and interacting with the Harley Davidson dealer staff. The
networking was strong and provides a great springboard for public
service. It was great to present Charis-KD5WXF with her League
appointment as TARC net manager. A note of thanks to Jay-AD5PE for
hosting the event visit and in coordinating the Route 66 fun via
Amateur Radio.
Thanks to the clubs below for the effort to put three Oklahoma
stations on the air of the 17 total along Route 66. Several thousand
contacts were made from the Oklahoma stations. Wonderful job
Oklahoma…and it seems we are better able to provide emergency
communication when working this type event.
