May Events
For many amateur radio operators, the month of May marks an annual pilgrimage to HamVention in Dayton, Ohio. If you do make the journey this year, you will have the opportunity to meet with representatives from Handihams. Further information is included in the events detail.
Have a great month! I hope you find a few items that catch you interest for activity during the month of May.
Regards,
- Laurie Meier, N1YXU

Could another massive flare happen?
Posted by wa0tda on: Wednesday 07 May @ 11:38:29 |
NASA Science News for May 6, 2008
In September 1859, the sun unleashed a solar flare so intense it was visible to the unaided human eye. A ferocious geomagnetic storm ensued in which Northern Lights descended as far south as Cuba, the Bahamas and Hawaii. Meanwhile, telegraph engineers disconnected their batteries and powered communications by electricity from the auroras! Could it happen again? Read today's story to find out.

Emergency preparedness specialist to speak
Posted by wa0tda on: Wednesday 07 May @ 10:11:44 |
The most prepared man in America talks to amateur radio operators Our Handiham-affiliated amateur radio club, the Stillwater Amateur Radio Association will be welcoming Colonel Thomas J. Simonet as a guest speaker. The topic for the May 10th program Emergency Preparedness, and Colonel Simonet is well-prepared. In fact, he has been called "the most prepared man in America".
Col. Simonet has had a lengthy and distinguished career with the Air Force, and is currently assigned as an Emergency Preparedness Liaison Officer for the State of MN. In that position, he coordinates with local communities emergency managers, FEMA, and the Department of Defense to evaluate the most effective assets available to aid local communities when their resources become overwhelmed. This promises to be a very informative program for not only ham radio operators, but others as well. Being informed is an initial step in being prepared, so bring a friend and come join us for the May 10th meeting at 9 a.m. 73,

Earth Day in the Ham Shack
Posted by wa0tda on: Tuesday 22 April @ 14:50:43 |
April 22 is Earth Day, which is supposed to remind everyone that we should try to live as “green” as possible, producing less waste, using only the energy we need, and generally doing our part to make the environment around each of us a better place.
All of the Earth Day stories prompted me to take a look around the ham shack here at WA0TDA.

Avery's QTH - In which Avery announces a contest
Posted by wa0tda on: Tuesday 22 April @ 12:23:38 |
Welcome once again to my humble QTH:
We are going to have a Handiham Contest.
We have a large number of Handiham 40th Anniversary QSL cards left from our special event station at the last Minnesota Radio Camp.
We want to send them out even though it’s 2008 (we are quite frugal, you know), but you are going to have to earn them. So I am announcing the Avery’s QTH use-up-our-old-QSL-cards contest!
