Christmas greetings from Kevin, N0IRW

HO HO HO! to all the Oklahoma hams out there!

I hope everyone is settling into the season and getting
their rigs all warmed up for the upcoming operating
season.

Not a lot going on in the section at the moment, but there
are a few things of note.  All you instructors out there,
if you are using the League powerpoint for your classes 
and feel as I do it's pretty bad...somtime after the first
of the year, we should be rolling a totally upgraded
version for your use.....in color and more dynamic!

Upcoming hamfests include Elk City the first Saturday in
March and Green Country the second weekend in April.

Lastly, we received an e-mail from HQ on 12/18 about
change in ARES. I'm printing it here so you will know
everything we, your section leaderwhip knows.

Changes Coming to the Amateur Radio Emergency Service
 
The Amateur Radio Emergency Service® (ARES) has been the public service communications program of the ARRL since 1935. Over the program’s eight decades it has occasionally undergone updates to make sure it meets the needs of partners at all levels, adjusts to changes in the Amateur Radio Service, and incorporate lessons learned from emergency and disaster activations. However, the last major update to ARES occurred more than 40 years ago, and it is quite clear that a lot has changed since then.

So, two years ago, the ARRL board of directors created the Public Service Enhancement Working Group to study the ARRL’s public service offerings and recommend changes and improvements. The working group focused on many areas including training, volunteer management, field organization positions, and mission – all areas of concern brought to the board and staff’s attention from those in the field. The recommendations were vetted through a peer review group of field organization volunteers and readied for implementation.

In the months ahead, you will receive information on enhancements coming to the ARES program, including:

• A new national mission statement for ARES
•  New national training requirements and local training resources for ARES
• Updated field organization job descriptions
• Improved ARES operating guidelines 
• New ARES group benefits
• A new volunteer management system – ARES Connect

The first step in the next evolution of ARES is group identification. Currently there is no way to identify ARES groups or their associated volunteers with a searchable unique designator, which makes reporting and accountability difficult. Beginning January 1, 2018 ARES groups will need to sign up for their unique ARES identification number. This number will be utilized by the ARES Connect system and provide ARES groups with unique benefits (think club affiliation, but for ARES!).

Once ARES groups receive their identification numbers they will be eligible for benefits including:

• ARES book sets (great for the EOC or Red Cross radio room)      
• New ham referral
• Early access to the annual ARES Report
• Email forwarding, which will provide ARES groups that have a club callsign with a uniform "call sign@arrl.net"
• More to come!

Groups that will need an ARES identification number include local level (city/county/district) and section level. Information about the ARES identification application process will be sent out the week before the application system opens.

If you have any questions, please contact ARRL Emergency Preparedness Manager Mike Corey, KI1U, ki1u@arrl.org

ARRL Public Service Enhancement Working Group
Dale Williams, WA8EFK
Chairman

If you have any questions, I will attempt to answer them as info

becomes available.

I hope everyone in the section has a Merry Christmas and a

Happy New Year! (And just maybe, I'll get the station up and

running!!!)

Happy #VeteransDay to all who have served

Volunteer this Veterans Day

Saturday, November 11, is Veterans Day. You can show your appreciation for our Nation’s veterans by volunteering. As the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) notes, “We may never be able to repay them for their sacrifice, but we can show them just how much we appreciate all that they have done.” Observe Veterans Day by volunteering your time to honor America’s service members. The VA offers several ways to volunteer: Use the Volunteer Service Locator to find opportunities close to you. Contact the VA Voluntary Service to Volunteer or Donate. Volunteer at a VA Medical Center. Students can gain experience and training with the Student Volunteer Program. For more information, visit http://www.va.gov/opa/vetsday/. The American Red Cross also has volunteer opportunities for those that want to support military families.

Route 66 special event - Highway to a DX Party! | Southgate Amateur Radio News

The Citrus Belt Amateur Radio Club of San Bernardino, California, is once again hosting (probably one of the most fun special event activities) the 18th annual 'Route 66 On The Air' special event between September 9-17th.  

The purpose of this event is to offer amateur radio operators a fun way to "Relive the Ride" of their own memories of Route 66, and to celebrate the highway's 91st anniversary. 

The U.S. Highway 66 established in 1926, was the first major improved highway to link the west coast with the nations heartland.

Through stories, songs, and TV shows, the highway came to symbolize the spirit of the freedom of the open road, inspiring many to see America.

Look for the following 21 stations (two are rovers) operating in or around the major cities along the old "Route 66" from Santa Monica, California, to Chicago, Illinois:

R66 MOBILE Operations - Any amateurs operating while actually driving

Dam Jam ham plans

The Dam J.A.M. Bicycle Tour is set for September 9

The Tulsa Repeater Organization Communications team will (tentatively, pending vote of the club) be in Pryor to provide support to provide communications between checkpoints of the bicycle tour over a large part of Northeastern Oklahoma.

To volunteer to help with this event or for more information, contact TRO Activities Chairman - Kenneth Baucum - KG5CBM at 918-271-1435

Oklahoma QSL Card Bureau

A draft of new rules were explained at the Ham Holiday OKDXA meeting regarding  changing the envelopes and postage. I received an envelope this week with the following information:

#1) Effective Sept 1, 2017 the W5 Incoming buro must be self supporting and they are no longer accepting SASE's from users.  Instead you can simply send money and they will print your envelopes with postage for you.  Send $20 (anything beyond the $20 will be considered a donation to cover other buro related expenses.)

You can send money via PayPal:
PayPay (send money to a friend - to w5buro@gmail.com)

Or by USPS:
W5 INCOMING BUREAU
P.O. BOX 1060
Mounds OK 74047

Please make sure your callsign is evident by either method used.


#2) Rates are increasing to $1.00 per envelope to keep up with increasing postage expenses, miscellaneous supplies and printing.  The $20 you send will provide for 20 envelopes and any additional funds you send will be considered a donation toward general bureau expenses (like a PO box and other things!)  If you want a 2 or 3 ounces per mailing please make sure to provide your sorter with a batch of "Additional Ounce" (penguin) stamps to keep on file for you.

If your a high-volume user, such as a DX Expeditioner or a high-scoring contestor you may want many ounces per mailing.  One envelope with a single forever stamp will carry about 6 cards.  With the "Additional Ounce" postage it can transport about 12 to 14 cards.

#3) Everyone is reminded to contact the sorter for their callsign directly with questions or comments.  If you are unable to resolve a concern then you are welcome to contact the W5 Incomming Bureau Manager, Gene Lewis, W5LE.  Gene is available at w5buro@gmail.com

#4) Expect to see a strong push in the coming months by ARRL for all incoming bureaus to become self-sustaining.

----------------
If your wondering what this is all about:  The ARRL offers a service to members that drastically reduces the cost of sending QSL cards overseas.  You fill out your cards then mail a envelope full of them along with payment and they will forward the cards on to the overseas bureaus in bulk.  Those bureaus will send them using their local postal system.  This service alone justifies the ARRL membership dues if you send very many!  You can read more here: http://www.arrl.org/outgoing-qsl-service
