DALE BAGLEY, K0KY MO SM
I have to feel that Field Day 2010 was a great
success this year
because of all the MO Section stations we heard
at my Club’s Field
Day site. I want to thank all those that
sent in their Section Manager
& Section Emergency Coordinator traffic this
year. I for one am looking
forward to Field Day 2011 and even more fun and
excitement. Don’t
forget to send in your Field Day Reports to ARRL
HQ and to follow-up on
the public relations opportunity that Field Day
provides.
On May 29, 2010 Jeremiah W. (Jay) Nixon, the
Governor of the State of
Missouri signed a proclamation Recognizing the
week of June 21st to
27th 2010 as AMATEUR RADIO WEEK IN MISSOURI.
The official presentation
of the Proclamation was presented to Curtis
Roach, WB4NMG, Barbara
Roach,KC0HVT, and Dale Bagley, K0KY ARRL MO
Section Manager. Curtis is
the President of the Bootheel ARC and has lead
the effort to get the
Governor to make this important recognition of
Amateur Radio. The
presentation was held in the Governor’s Office
and we had the
opportunity to make the Governor aware of our
concerns about the lack
of a slash through the zero on the Missouri
Amateur Radio Plates. He
said that he would check into the matter and was
very knowledgeable and
supportive of Amateur Radio Emergency Services
and our efforts in
Missouri.
I would like to thank all the folks that sent me
suggestions for
putting a slash zero on the ARRL Section News.
It turns out that my
Microsoft Word doesn’t match with the newer
version needed for the
Website, so I’m upgrading to Microsoft Word 2010
soon. I’ll be
checking out a new font and seeing if it works
better. That is still a
work in progress and I’m not giving up easily.
