SEDALIA – PETTIS AMATEUR RADIO KLUB

With 35 in attendance, SPARK held its monthly meeting at EMA Headquarters this morning. After the standing committee reports we discussed several things. Paul *KD0ETL) gave a final report on Winter Field Day. We had many members who participated this year and a great time was had by all. Bret (W0VK) reminded members about the upcoming storm spotter training to be held on March 2nd. The Sedalia-Pettis EMA has invited members of SPARK to attend this training. This training is closed to the public but since SPARK is a vital asset of EMA we encourage are members to attend. The location of SPARKFEST 2023 was secured and will be held on Saturday October 14th at Our Savior Lutheran Church again this year. After the meeting Dwayne (KB9TQJ) conducted a Antenna Building Class that was well attended. Our next scheduled meeting will be held on Saturday March 4th beginning at 8:30am held at EMA HEADQUARTERS located at 1511 N. Ohio in Sedalia. March training After the meeting will be Fusion 101 getting on the air. If you haven’t been to a meeting in awhile we encourage you to do so and see what’s happening with SPARK.

Happy Birthday to my friend and favorite High-School teacher, WAØWUY!

In response to a recent inquiry regarding doing APRS over DMR, I put together this guide describing how I was able to set it up on my own radio.

If you have suggestions for improvement or find any errors, let me know directly.  I’ll update the document.
