Around the Section

WØAIB, Larry Staples, Shawnee Mission, became a Silent Key in April. Larry was our ARRL Kansas Public Information Coordinator more than 20 years. Many know Larry from the Kansas City metro community e-mail list he began many years ago, others may remember him from the KC VHF Club he helped charter in the early 70s. He was a regular at the Beryl Breakfasts. Always a cheerleader for Amateur Radio he may best be remembered as the affable listener that encouraged us to do the best we could for our service and for ourselves.

This is a Bring-In, if you want to eat you need to bring it.

K0AP-Dragan made 1500 contacts in the ARRL CW DX contest.
I'm guessing there were some spots on the sun that weekend.
