We are now into fall, the athletic public service events are winding down and the air is cooler, finally. We have a few events coming up. National Simulated Emergency Test, Scouting’s Jamboree On The Air and Skywarn Appreciation Day come to mind.          The S.E.T. is October 1st and 2nd although your group can hold it’s event anytime this fall if your served agencies have a different day. ARRL has a new web interface for ECs to report S.E.T. activity. It’s fill in the box, very simple to use. E-mail me for the link.     

Also this same weekend is Valley Center’s Wichita Area Hamfest. This is our convention for 2022. I will hold a short meeting. The club has worked to make this a fun and worthwhile event. Many door prizes, Cap and T shirt vendors, Pete, NØOY will have his mobile Microwave bus on display and there will be a P.O.T.A symposium.  If you are not involved with S.E.T. activities I hope you will join us. 73

Around The Section   

From Eric KDØARW: Just wanted to let everyone know that the special event station at Fort Bissell yielded great results this evening. In 2 hours, we logged 52 total contacts between 20 and 80 meters.

On 14.265 mhz, we worked 46 contacts from coast to coast, into Canada and Mexico. Had pileup after pileup of hams trying to work us. Even had a few that kinda knew where Phillipsburg was on the map. On 3.920 mhz, we work 6 contacts after the Kansas Sideband Net.

We had great compliments from people at the event, and they were surprised how far we were making contacts. 

The club would like to Thank Mike Saft, KB0QGT, For the awesome work on the QSL cards he made the club for this event. In all, had a great time and looking forward for more opportunities at the fort to operate again.
