RCWA Burger Burn
The Rogers County Wireless Association has a club picnic twice a year, at Shelter #2 by the scenic Claremore Lake. The first one for 2012 is May 5. Get there early to enjoy some tasty burgers and franks! For more info, check their website: http://www.rcwa.org/
Digital Emergency Communications Exercise
An all RF – DIGITAL emergency communications exercise is coming up May 5, 2012. This project is a joint interoperability exercise involving the ARRL Sections for both the West Gulf and Delta Divisions.
ARES-OK is looking for a few stations to send and receive a couple messages via Winlink 2000 during the emergency communications exercise. First step in the project for Oklahoma is that ARES-OK needs to gather some info from the amateurs in OKLAHOMA (from both ARES-OK and non-ARES registered Radio Amateurs). What we need to know is who the current Winlink 2000 (WL2K) users are, and their capabilities. If you are a WL2K user then please respond to n7xyo@arrl.net, and he has a short questionaire for you to fill out concerning your WL2K capabilities.

I have worked this event when it was known as the T-Town Trek, the Great Tulsa Bike Ride and the River Shops Bike Ride. I have enjoyed it every time.
