Our POTA event scheduled for this Saturday is postponed due to the excessive heat. We will reschedule it for a later date.

The tablecloth made it’s debut at the WAARCI Hamfest this weekend. We received many compliments about it. Was also a successful outing for the club. We signed up 4 more additional vendors for SPARKFEST.

WOW. With 41 in attendance for the meeting we set a record. What a great group of members we have. We discussed several things at the meeting. We had several good ideas brought up by our members regarding upcoming training opportunities for future meetings. The ECOM Trailer is going to be gone through to make sure that all the wiring is grounded and in good shape. For the 1st time in club history all of our 2m Sunday Night Nets will be run by our clubs YL’s, thank you ladies. We had a report on this years Field Day, many thanks go out to the committee and members who participated. We will be operatering a POTA event at Bothwell State Park on July 23rd beginning at 10am, all members are encouraged to attend. We will put our ECOM TRAILER in this years Christmas parade and a committee will be working on ideas to decorate the trailer for it. SPARKFEST is growing leaps and bounds. We have already sold the same amount of tables as we did last year. We have acquired 30 more tables that we can sell to vendors thanks to Brad (kf0gsx) and Duke Manufacturing. We will be looking at moving SPARKFEST to the fairgrounds next year. We will have a information table at Warrensburg’s Hamfest on June 16th promoting SPARKFEST.

Lots of exciting things are happening in SPARK. We are blessed to have such a strong group of members who exemplify what Ham Radio is all about. Our next scheduled meeting will be held at Sedalia-Pettis County EMA Headquarters located at 1511 N. Ohio on August 6th beginning at 8:30am. Look forward to seeing everyone there. 73’s

This was overheard on the 147.03 repeater Saturday evening. The recording is from 6:42 – 7:12pm (silent periods are removed).

I don’t know if this is legitimate repeater use or not, I don’t speak Spanish, but at times I heard numbers which I guess could be part of a call sign. However, I also heard curse words which leads me to think this was unauthorized use.

If any of you speak Spanish well enough to translate, or know someone who can, give it a listen and email admin@wa0sdo.org and I will post your findings.

There are more times this was heard on Saturday afternoon. Anyone with a premium Broadcastify account can search the archives and listen to more of it.
