Tulsa Community College Radio Club Report

Our group operated both the ARRL EME and SSB Sweepstakes this past month, but poor weather and also Tulsa Community College Amateur Radio Club members a little under the weather caused us not to do as well as last years West Gulf Division winning scores.  

We still had fun with  32,000 points in the EME contest with a 16 foot HB horn built for 23cm, and 19,000 points in ARRL-SS.   Our club activities can be seen on my QRZ page.

We also had another seven students earn their Technician class license this fall semester.

Thanks to Tommy, WD5AGO, for this report.  Can you tell us what YOUR club is doing?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year #ARRL #hamradio

The year has come and gone.  Christmas is soon to be upon us.

If you are celebrating this season, please do so responsibly.  Remember those who are less fortunate than you.  Encourage one another.  Enjoy your friends and family.

I plan to be on "Red Badges Day" for at least an hour.  Check my twitter account for where and when.

The Section Leadership wishes all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Let us know the call of the repeater, the city and state it is based in
and serves, frequency, and the day and time you air Audio News. We'll
add it to our list of repeaters and might even recognize your repeater
