Veterans' Day this year marks the 100th anniversary of the National WW1 Museum and Memorial. The actual 100th is November 5, but that's not Veterans' Day this year. Really, we've been celebrating all year.
We are planning to operate remotely as WW1USA from the Overland Park Christian Church -- 7600 W 75th St, Overland Park, KS 66204, the usual meeting place of the Johnson County Radio Amateurs Club (JCRAC). We will be setup starting around 08:30 am, and will operate SSB and CW stations (and maybe FT8) until around 4:30 pm. If you are interested in participating please email Charlie Van Way, N0CVW at cvanway@gmail.com for more information and details. Come to the event, and bring your friends!
Charlie Van Way, N0CVW Trustee, WW1USA

Welcome to November! As we transition into crisp autumn weather and head toward the holiday season, it's a great time to look back at our busy fall schedule and thank everyone who keeps our club running so smoothly.
The Ensor Auction & Museum Volunteers
First and foremost, a massive thank you goes out to everyone who stepped up to make our October activities and the Annual Ensor Farm & Museum Radio Auction run smoothly.
Events like this take a tremendous amount of teamwork, and I want to offer special recognition to a few key individuals:
● Dave Schulman (WD0ERU) for his fantastic work as auctioneer, keeping the energy high and the lots moving.
● Vince Sabia (KE0CRG) for his tireless efforts running the raffle ticket sales.
● All our dedicated members who volunteered as tour guides throughout October at the Ensor Park and Museum, welcoming visitors and sharing our rich radio history.
We couldn't do it without your time, dedication, and community spirit!
November Meeting & Upcoming Highlights
As we move into November, we have our regular schedule of nets, and community activities lined up: Remember, there is only one meeting in November.
● VE Testing Sessions: First Tuesday of the month (November 3rd) at the Johnson County Library - Central Resource Branch.
● Regular Club Meeting: On the second Fridays (November 13th) at the Overland Park Christian Church at 7:00 PM. Please note that at our November meeting, we will be doing troop card signing to support our service members ahead of the holidays.
● Weekly Nets: Continue every Wednesday (Digital Fusion via Kansas City Room) and Thursday (2m FM Net on 145.290 MHz).
I hope everyone has a wonderful, safe, and happy Thanksgiving with your families and friends.
73,
Bill KA2FNK, President
