    JUNE 2009 MISSOURI SECTION NEWS

    DALE BAGLEY, KØKY MO SM

    This year Field Day operations will be on June 27th and 28th. And I hope that everyone will take advantage of the Emergency Operations training and the fun that are hallmarks of this important communications test. It seems like every time I predict that the lack of sunspots will drastically reduce the scores on Field Day I am proven wrong. I'm amazed at the scores and the number of individuals and number of groups that participate each year. It is obvious that good operators figure out what bands and what times will be optimum for Field Day operations. Those Field Day sites that want to send a Field Day message to the Section Manager can go to the MO Traffic net on 3.963 MHz at 5:45 or the MO Net CW on 3.585 MHz at 7:00 p.m. and list traffic. I speak CW badly as a second language, so please be patient. Should I not hear everyone, pass the traffic to another operator and it can be delivered to the SM at a later time. The traffic to the SM will have been sent and the information will be delivered.

    It is my understanding that Mike McCrann has been dismissed from St John's Mercy Rehabilitation Hospital. I hope we will all continue to remember Mike in our thoughts and prayers as he copes with the effects of the stroke he suffered. If anyone wants to contact Mike they should send him an e-mail at Tmmccrann@aol.com Please continue to forward all OO reports to the Section Manager at k0ky@arrl.org until Mike gets to feeling a little better.

    MAY 2009 HAMFEST/CONVENTIONS REPORT

    The 2009 National ARRL Convention held in Dayton, OH in conjunction with the Dayton Hamvention was attended by Amateur Radio operators from all over the world. I had a chance to visit with Jack 7Q7?? and his wife Janet (also a Ham) from Malawi Africa at one of the lunch tables inside the Hara Arena where the Hamvention is held. There were lots of positive comments about the ARRL EXPO that was set-up and I really enjoyed visiting with all the Amateur Ops from Missouri that attended this year. The Ozark Mountain ARC from Houston, MO were a little disappointed that their request for cookies for the trip didn't materialize. Mark your calendar for next years Hamvention that will be held on May
