Hi guys and gals of the Oklahoma section!

Wow! I think spring has finally sprung. Green Country Hamfest was great. It was well attended both Friday afternoon/evening and on Saturday. Bob Heil was his usual gracious and interesting self. If you get the chance to check out his new Parametric Receive Audio System....it is really cool!

My son and I are going to Dayton and will be attending Contest University as well. I look forward to seeing some of you out of the section at Dayton. (I'm planning on bringing home a new amp and maybe one of Bob's Parametric systems)

I would like to congratulate Lee Cooper, W5LCH, on beng appointed as the new Vice-Director for the West Gulf Division. Most of you know David Woolweaver strpped down from the ARRL Board in January. John Stratton took the Directors reigns and selected Lee as his Director of Vice! Both John and Lee should be at Oklahoma City Ham Holiday in July at the new venue.....Oklahma City Community College.

Also, This year's Ham-Com is in Plano, TX on June 7-8 at the Plano Event Center. The new ARRL CEO, Howard E. Michel, WB2ITX will be in attendance.

If your group is doiing anything in your communities, let me know so we can report on it.

Also, don't forget Field Day is just around the corner.

73's for now Kevin O'Dell, N0IRW Oklahoma Section Manager
