Tulsa County Skywarn Training
The Tulsa NWS office has 2 Skywarn spotter training sessions scheduled for Tulsa County. The first is in early March: 0900 (9AM), Saturday, 05 MAR 12 at the OU Schusterman Center, 41st & Yale. The other is just two days later at 1900 (7PM), 05 MAR 12 at the Broken Arrow Community Center. For other training sessions, see the calendar available at this link: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/tsa/?n=spotter_training.
Green Country Just Days Away
The 2012 edition of the Green Country Hamfest is less than 2 weeks away. I believe this is the 11th year in a row the hamfest will be held at the Claremore Expo Center, 400 Veterans Parkway. Looks like the same great vendors from previous years will be there, and the forum schedule has an interesting lineup. Check out the details at www.greencountryhafest.org. Hope you have been saving up your nickels and pennies!
The TRO will have a table there, and will need members to keep an eye on it. If you can help with that, contact Stan Callahan, KE5HPB at ke5hpb@tulsahamradio.org.
I'm looking forward to hamfest this year! See ya thar!
Membership dues are due on 01 MAR. Another good reason to make the February meeting - pay in person and avoid the price of a stamp!
