JULY 2015 MISSOURI SECTION NEWS
DALE BAGLEY, K0KY MO SM
Field Day 2015 was an excellent opportunity to showcase Amateur
Radio to the community and provide practical hands on experience
that can be utilized during actual disasters or emergencies. I
appreciate the efforts of the net control operators on the MO
Traffic Nets to facilitate the handling of Section Manager and
Section Emergency Coordinator traffic. One of the important
upgrades in Field Day, in recent years, is the improved messaging
through TV news, print news outlets and social media. I don't
know if every MO Section Field Day operation experienced a rain
storm during Field Day this year but, at my club's Field Day
site, the rain seems to arrive on schedule like the buzzards
returning to Hinckley Ohio. I hope everyone had a safe, fun and
productive Field Day 2015 and are looking forward to an even
better Field Day 2016.
One of the areas where Amateur Radio gets exposure to the general
public is at Public Service events. Amateur Radio operators and
Radio Clubs volunteer and bring their skills, equipment and
knowledge to helping provide public safety and event
communications all over the State of Missouri. Mike Bellinger,
K0UAA, reports that The Heart of America Amateur Radio Club and
others in the Kansas City area help with area Triathlon &
Duathlon. Jill Hathaway, the event manager of the Kansas City
Tour de Cure, expressed her thanks for the incredible support of
the 2015 Wheels to Weston and the support of Kansas City area
Amateur Radio operators volunteered to assist with safety and
communication logistics. The St. Louis Suburban Radio Club
provides communications support for events such as the ADA Tour
de Cure, Lupus WolfRide GranFondo, and the Bike MS: Express
Scripts Gateway Getaway Ride. The MO Section News likes to pass
on information about a Radio Club's efforts to participate in
Public Service Events. If your club is helping with these events,
let either the Section Manager know or contact MO Affiliated Club
Coordinator Keith Haye, WE0G and let us know.

AFFILIATED CLUB NEWS
KEITH HAYE, WE0G, ACC
The June issue of the St. Charles Amateur Radio Club reported
that SCARC member Rick Crockett, W0PC gave a presentation at the
May meeting of the St. Louis and Suburban Radio Club. Rick led
the group through a session on remote control of his "home
station". He showed the group just how easy remote control is
with today's equipment and software.
In an effort to save money, the FCC no longer will be supplying a
printed Amateur Radio license on their special paper, but they
have made it possible for all Hams to print their own "Official
Copy" of their license. In an effort to help SCARC members, Rick
Crockett, W0PC has developed a step-by-step guide to help
Amateurs navigate the FCC website and obtain an official copy.
That guide is available on the SCARC website. Just look for
"Print Your Ham License Official Copy". You can look at his guide
at http://www.wb0hsi.org/Print%20Your%20Ham%20License%20de%20W0PC.pdf
The St. Louis Suburban Radio Club newsletter the Printed Circuit
reports that there are some changes coming to the 146.850

Antennas on 146.850 repeater are being replaced in the near
future and Internet access will occur in about 30 days. The
repeater is being replaced with Yaesu DR-1X which is a fusion
repeater and will allow full MESH integration. Goal is to have
all club repeaters switched over.
