The NTS Message Handling Class held during the NWMOARES monthly meeting on Saturday, February 12 was an overwhelming success. 17 people participated in the class. Everyone in the class generated a NTS message to be sent via existing nets to a recipient.
The regular monthly meeting for the group is this Saturday 9am at the Cameron PD in Cameron, MO. This month we will be going over message handling in emergencies immediately following the business meeting.
Due to the blizzard conditions over most of Missouri, SEMA the Missouri State Emergency Management Agency has asked any Ham radio operators that have the ability to monitor the national calling frequency of 146.520 simplex for any stranded motorists. As of now we have 5 stations monitoring for emergency traffic in the NWMO area.
A BIG thank you to WD0BBR for spending several hours Saturday and Sunday getting the repeater back up and going. Also a BIG thanks to the MO Valley ARC in St. Joe for allowing us to use their back up repeater until we can get ours rebuilt. The net tonight January 30th will be on the Plattsburg repeater and linked into the N0SWP repeater as well.

KG0CX and NJ0Z set up a WINLINK demonstration during the Open House on Nov. 5th 2010 from 11am to 4pm. Bob and George have done a great job setting up the station at the Health Department installing a 30′ tower, dual band vertical, dual band radio, computer and now WINLINK.
