ARES Exercise Idea In The Works

I am still working on an idea for an ARES exercise to be conducted as part of the Thursday night net. The exercise will occur on just one net, but preparations will happen on the net in the weeks leading up to the exercise. ATTM, I will add that the exercise will combine actiivity on the TARC UHF Link and on a few 2M repeaters. More on this as it develops....

Tulsa County Storm Spotter Training
All the sessions for Tulsa County are now set. The first is this Tuesday, 05 FEB, 1900, at the Case Community Center in Sand Springs. Next is the big one at the OU Schusterman Center, 41st & Yale, 0900, 16 FEB. Finally, the Broken Arrow Amateur Redio Club will have a session instead of their meeting, 1900, 04 MAR at thte Central Park Community Center, 1500 S. Main.
