Recently I could not find my RTS programming cables
and ordered some new ones. Today I located my "old"
cables and therefore offer for sale brand new and still
in twist ties at $25 each (new $30 plus shipping and tax)
the USB-RTS01 and USB-29A.
These are both for Icom radios. The USB-29A is for
IC-2720, IC-2730, IC-2820, and many other Icom
mobile VHF and UHF rigs. The USB-RTS01 is for
the IC-706 Mk II, IC-7000, IC-746/746Pro, and
IC-756/756Pro (and maybe others).
Shipping NOT included.

Clubs
Amateur radio clubs are the backbone of the hobby. The tremendous local hams have good information, and as Elmers or mentors love to share it. Send something that your club is doing well to me n5hzr@arrl.org, and I’ll feature your club in this newsletter. Most clubs have seen an increase in new member activity during the pandemic. Our Oklahoma Affiliated Club Coordinator, Jim Shideler W5JCS, can help you find a club or help your club become affiliated. We currently have 38 clubs listed at https://aresok.org/clubs. Look for a club near you, or verify that your club is on the list. Send Jim an email at W5JCS@arrl.net if you need club assistance.

SM012 – Severe Weather
Last night’s storm reminded most of the state of Oklahoma that severe weather could happen in any month. Hopefully, all ARES members were paying attention and could assist with the trouble in their county. I want to take this opportunity to do a few things.
- Verify your connections.
- Were you able to contact your local net?
- Were your batteries charged?
- Could you locate your radios?
- Were they still packed with the latest special event gear? (like mine were)
- Were you able to communicate with others?
- Have you signed up for the ARES Oklahoma https://ARESOK.org/join/ website?
- Have you updated your contact information and station information on https://aresok.org/wp-admin/profile.php? Take a look and update as needed.
ARES Oklahoma Meeting
With both OU & OSU at away games and Ardmore Hamfest canceled, it has left us with a unique opportunity. That said, we have decided to hold an ARES Oklahoma Leadership meeting.
The gathering will be open to all leaders, volunteers, and interested radio amateurs.
So, SAVE THE DATE:
Saturday, October 23, 2021 (approximate time frame 9 am to 1 pm)
Where: Norman Firehouse #7
And, Zoom/YouTube attendance options will be available.
More detail to follow > please make plans to attend.
