06-02-2024 - Good Morning! It's Sunday, and the Wichita Amateur Radio Society will hold its weekly informal net at 8:00 PM on the club's 147.140 MHz repeater. All licensed Amateur (ham) Radio operators are invited to check in. Scanner radio enthusiasts are invited to listen in. I didn't work any Parks on the Air® stations yesterday, but I did get the yard mowed. Yard-mowing might not be as fun as radioing but it burns more calories, and I need that these days! My Folgers Black Silk coffee is ready!
