ARES Exercise Idea In The Works - Update
I have written up my proposal for the exercise, submitted it to the ARES leadership, and they approved it. I will be working with Nathan Huffstetler, AE5NK on finalizing the plans. More on this as it develops....
Tulsa County Storm Spotter Training
All the sessions for Tulsa County are now set. Next weekend is the big one at
the OU Schusterman Center, 41st & Yale, 0900, 16 FEB. Use the entrance on Yale
across from the McDonald's. Training will take place in the building on the left
as you enter the campus.
Finally, the Broken Arrow Amateur Radio Club will have a session instead of their meeting, 1900, 04 MAR at the Central Park Community Center, 1500 S. Main.

Request For Feedback
For the Bulletin to continue to be the useful tool I intend it to be, I need your feedback. I need to know of any items that I should add, remove or change. I will consider all suggestions.
Plus any comments about the quality or the handling of the Bulletin will be appreciated.
Please send any comments, corrections, additions, etc., to kc5zqm@cox.net. DO NOT send them as a reply to the WA5LVT Yahoogroup, unless you want the entire group to see them before I have a chance to review them.
