Walt, Should we have a radio check on the Hogback repeater for the volunteers after our net tomorrow evening at 7? Alan KF3KF
Hi Bill? The antenna that came with your HT should be ok. I just want us all to have the advantage of a high gain antenna if you have one due to all the metal buildings with metal roofing on spring street. As far as which one, there are so many out?there. Right now I'm running signal sticks on all my HT's

We will be having a SOTA breakfast/gathering December 14th, 2024 at 9:30am at the Centennial Grill on N. Phoenix Rd (Centennial Golf Course in Phoenix/S. Medford). All are welcome to join for a nice visit, ask any questions as activator or chaser, tell us your 2025 goals or UTC New Year and Winter Bonus plans, etc. Looking forward to seeing you all! We had fun last winter seeing each other and hope to make this more of a regular event, monthly or quarterly.

?
Santa and Mrs. Claus will also be on the air, together, thanks to special arrangements with the??in Kansas. They will be on the air on the 147.000 repeater and the Sunflower Net system, between 10 AM and noon CST on November 30 and beginning at 10 AM until band conditions change on December 14 and 21. In addition to the local repeater, the??offers connection options to Allstar, DMR, Dstar, Echolink, Fusion, Hamshack Hotline, M17, and P25. The club is also setting up a radio link at the local library to talk to Santa. A special effort is being made to give children who are hospitalized or otherwise unable to visit personally an opportunity to reach out to Santa.
?
Also, for the 4th year, Santa has sent Elf Chucky and his team of amateur radio operators to northern Colorado, to help make sure children of all ages can talk to Santa on station N?P from the North Pole.

Re: Rescheduling of the November KBARA meeting
Colleen, ?? Thank you for the generous offer of the use of your office space for Club meetings.? Sorry I did not thank you earlier, holidays got kinda hectic. I would like to schedule a time to stop by and "recon" the space so we have a known backup.

However, the large room has already been reserved by another group for the 20th. We may reserve the medium room for the 20th, but there is a fire marshal limit of 20 people in that room. Note: we usually only have about 20 people attend.
Other options include large room on the 19th or the large room on the 27th knowing we may have limited participation because of Thanksgiving being on the 26th.
I am calling for a vote (ironically): __ Tuesday, Nov 19 large room __ Wednesday, Nov 20 medium room (20 people) __ Tuesday, Nov 27th large room (before Thanksgiving)
In any case it may be a small meeting with a class, socializing and some info distribution.
I will finalize the reservations at noon on Friday, Nov 8th and email the plan. You may reply to this email, or send your response to info@... to get it to all the Executives.
We also need to discuss the schedule for the December meeting. Walt should have some info forthcoming.
