~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~AROUND THE SECTION~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

. KBØUOE- Chuck Jentzsch of LaCygne is now a Silent Key --------------------------------------------------------------- SHARC has 4 members on Packet now. Sam WØOQG is now on that mode and looking for a place to install a node in the land of Sand Hills. Wheat State Wireless Assn. held their election at the November meeting. New officers are President: Greg-KCØYMH, VP: Phil-KCØZNI, Treasurer: Curtis-WYØG. Returning as Secretary is Karri-KDØFBE. Club meetings are the 2nd Wed in Paola. Public Service Honor Roll certificates were presented to ABØUY-Debbie and NØZIZ- Dan at the Johnson County A.R.E.S. meeting last month. Both Debbie and Dan had surpassed the requirements a long time ago. Congratulations to both. Johnson County RAC held their annual club auction at the Ensor Farm and Museum later than usual. The event included the Marshall Ensor Special Event station operated by Santa Fe Trail club members, KCØBS helping with APRS set ups and since this was Halloween the day wrapped up with a scary picture show. A couple of the features were familiar and for copy right reasons we'll call them The Gray Zone. Brian-KCØBS filled in as auctioneer at the last minute when the professional had to cancel for medical reasons. There was a cornocopia of stuff to bid on. Much of it was what might be seen under a table at a hamfest but there were some things virtually given away. The caller had to encourgae bidding on a Heath scope. Some outboard VFOs and tuners went dirt cheap and even a good deal on a dual band HT was there, needed a battery. Builders would have been in paradise with the small parts and array of enclosures available. Let your mind wander. The hottest bidding was over a spool of coax and a Zenith Oceanic series receiver. If you're in need of a dispatch console get ahold of KCØBS. The chicken house, as usual, was the hub of activity. WØDEW brought out his new transceiver for field trial and set up a station in one end of the chicken house. Maybe the best part was the food. KA2FNK's Son smoked up some pulled pork that was served by his Mom for lunch and John-WØBBQ brought out his barbecue contest rig (20 ft outfitted trailer) for breakfast and dinner. This was a great event and both the clubs involved, museum and area hams benefited from this outing. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

~~~~~~~ARES - AMATEUR RADIO EMERGENCY SERVICE REPORT. ~~~~~~

Nov 3 2009 from the desk of K0BXF Follows report of ARES activity Kansas Section for the month of September 2009 517 total members registered 17 EC Zones reporting: 84 net sessions for the month, 574 Check ins to the nets and 17 messages handled, Missing reports from 6 of 7 EC in DIST 1, 3 of 7 EC in DIST 2, 3 of 6 EC DIST 3, 5 of 9 EC DIST 4, 2 of 9 EC in DIST 5 and 5 of 7 EC in DIST 6. Should be able to double our output effort if we could have all EC Zone reporting. A lot of discussion floating around causing a lot of mis- conceptions about certain types of ham operation. Everyone should keep abreast of what is going on and what is about to take place.
