Dam Jam 2022

By: Paul Teel WB5ANX Dam Jam 2022 was a huge success.  This was the 31st year of a widely supported bike event in North East Oklahoma.  25 ham volunteers provided the communications and safety support.  We had really great weather too.  In the pictures are the group photo, a pic of the command post trailer with ~45 ft mast in the background, NCO’s Dustin and Austin, APRS NCO’s Paul and Ben, and one of the APRS operations trucks that helped set up the digipeaters for the day.  We also had 5 ham ride-alongs this year learning the ropes of what […]

Presidents Corner Sept 2022

Just in case you missed it Last month was the TARC Ice Cream Social.  It was a warm no, hot evening and you know that hot weather and ice cream don’t get along to-gether very well.  Fortunately, Bart had all the ice cream cups on dry ice and so when you grabbed your favorite flavor out of the ice chest it was rock solid.  Didn’t take long to melt a little bit and it sure tasted good. We had 19 in attendance and if the weather had been just a little cooler (ok, maybe 100 instead of 103) a few […]

September is preparedness month

Are you prepared? By Paul Teel, WB5ANX It’s September and that brings a focus on being prepared.  Ready.gov raises awareness about the importance of preparing for disasters and emergencies that could happen at any time.  Oklahoma is no stranger to disasters and taking time to be prepared is a smart thing.  Preparedness takes many forms.  Food, water, power are the most common ways people prepare. Within the Amateur Radio community, we focus on communications preparedness.  Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES) is a group of licensed amateurs who have voluntarily registered their qualifications and equipment, with their local ARES leadership, for […]

Masonic Lodges on the Air Event to Take Place on September 24

Masonic Lodges on the Air (MLotA), an amateur radio special event, will be on the air Saturday, September 24, 2022, from locations across the county.

The Fulton County Amateur Radio Club (FCARC) and the Fulton Lodge #248 in Ohio first hosted the event in 2021. Because of its success, the event has now been scheduled for the next 3 years. The event will be operating K8BXQ from 10:00 AM – […]
