Parsons Area Amateur Radio Club held an outdoor activity dayNovember 9 th at Neosho State lake North of Parsons. Bob-AE0AQ handled the foodservice operating for the dozen that braved the cold. Joe-W0MQY and Jack-WA0CFD brought out a QRP station and antennas. Mike-WA0GLS on the other hand made contacts from his motor home. President Rick-W0RT provided a variety of CW instruments for the operation.  Thanks to W0RT for the report.

Jack Di Palo-WZ1Y of Leawood is now our Section Youth Coordinator. He is a Blue Valley Student and active in DX as well as contesting. 

Richard-KØRCJ is now Net Manager for Kansas Sideband Net and Kansas Phone Net. Reports should be sent to him starting with November work. 

Pilot Knob and Wichita ARCs Participated with Harvey Houses On The Air Special Event. Pilot Knob ARC set up at Fred Harveys home in Leavenworth and used WØH as their call sign. They even had a visit from the Harvey Girls. Pete-WØCCJ coordinated PKARC's effort. Down line in Wichita, WARC secured permission to operate from the Great Plains Railroad Museum across the road from the Union Station. The radio station was set up on the railroad bridge over Douglas Street. They used club call WØSOE. It's not often we can operate with a steam engine on one side and a Diesel on the other. The steamer held up the antenna!

Due to winter propagation we are moving the evening Section nets up one hour. Effective November 4th the Weather net will begin at 5PM followed by Sideband Net at 5:30 and at the conclusion of the Sideband Net the Weather Net will reconvene and pick up additional stations. We expect this schedule to continue into February.

Western Kansas 160m Net invites your check-in.                                             Tuesday evenings 9pm central time\ 8pm mountain time on 1.960 MHz LSB. This net has check-ins from many states.
