>Condolances to the Family and Friends Of Ted K Clifton W9TC, of Fort
>Wayne. Ted was a longtime member of the Amateur Radio Community in the
>Fort Wayne area. He will be missed.
>
>Delbert Felix KC9HRO,and other local hams of Napoleon, Indiana, had a
>good experience with upgrading their amateur radio licenses. Delbert
>contacted James Vohland Jr. N9VO who, with Perry Cummins WK9L, set up a
>class for 8 individuals in a meeting room at the Hampton Inn Hotel in
>Batesville, to hold classes in CW. The Hampton Inn Hotel donated the
>use of the meeting room at no-charge. Delbert KC9HRO, would like to
>extend a large "Thank You" to Jim N9VO, and to Perry W9KL for donating
>their time above and beyond the call of duty away from their families
>to help this group upgrade their licenses.
>
>On Tuesday, September 26th, the City of Bloomington, Parks and the
>Recreation Department honored area radio amateurs with the BRAVO award.
>This award is presented monthly to community volunteers that contribute
>significantly to the programs and events offered by the Pasrks and
>Recreation Department. The award recognizes three local groups who made
>up amateur radio supports for the Hoosier Hills Bike Tour, the Monroe
>County ARES-RACES Group, Bloomington Amateur Radio Club, and the
>Indiana University ARC. Emergency Coordinator Carl Zager KB9RVB
>accepted the award on behalf of Monroe County hams from Bev Johnson,
>Adult/Family Services Manager. It is most gratifying to see local
>amateur radio groups receive the recognition that they so richly
>deserve for their public service.
>
>I have been informed that ARRL Card Checkers, Carl Luetzelschwab K9LA
>and Vicki Luetzelschwab AE9YL, will be next to the ARRL Table at the
>Fort Wayne Hamfest/Indiana Section ARRL Convention to do DXCC/WAS/VUCC
>card checking and applications.  Bill NC1L, from ARRL Hq is to be there
>also for WAC card checking and answers to your awards questions.

>Newt Straup KJ9J, Co-Manager of the Indiana Section CW Traffic Net
>(QIN) would like to express his thanks for all of the help he has
>received this summer in the operations of the net. Newt will be heading
>south for the winter about October 25th. One of our net regulars, Kirk
>KO9D, has asked to be relieved of his NCS duties. If anyone can see a
>way to help out this fall and winter as a NCS, it would be greatly
>appreciated. QIN meets daily at 0930 and 1900 EDT (1330 and 2300 UTC)
>on 3656 KHz. Needless to say, help on either of the Section Traffic
>Nets QIN and ITN are always appreciated.
>
>Speaking of help, our OOC, John Merkley AA9WD, is looking for a few
>good operators to serve as Official Observers. Sorry to say, this is
>not a high profile appointment, but it is an important one. Please
>contact me or John  < jmerkley at psci.net > if you are interested.
>
>Total number of ARES operations for September: 65. Total  Person-Hours
>reported 635.07. Thank you Dave N9YNF for your
>always regular monthly SEC Report.
>
>One of the factors that helps keep a club "glued" together is a
>periodic newsletter. I receive about 10-12 newsletters monthly from
>various clubs, and I'm pleased to receive them. If your club doesn't
>publish a monthly newsletter, give some serious thought to
>doing so. Even if it is only a one page affair, it helps remind members
>that there is something of local interest for them to be involved in.
>It also serves as a reminder of monthly club meetings, and any program
>content for the meeting.
>
>The following VHF/UHF Net Managers reported their net's activity for
>September: KC9BHJ, N9ZMY, N9DGQ, KE9WI, KB9UAG, WA9PSV, KF9EX, WB9RVN,
>WB9NCE, WR9G, KA4HWX, W9THD, W9AU, and KA9QWC. If your Net Manager's
>callsign does not appear in this list, then no report of your net's
>activity was sent to the Indiana Section VHF/UHF Net Manager, John
>Kinley KC9BHJ. Send monthly reports to: < kc9bhj at arrl.net >.
