And it wouldn't cost taxpayers a cent. At the invitation of Councilman JB Whitten, who observed the North Okaloosa Amateur Radio Club in action during its recent field day, club President Ron Mahn presented information about its communications capabilities at a Monday evening council workshop. "In the event of any emergency call-up from (Okaloosa County) emergency services, they'll bring up one or more of our members," Mahn said. /////////////////////////////////////////// Special Centennial Event at Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve: Posted: 23 Aug 2016 05:09 PM PDT http://www.eham.net/articles/37418 STRONG CITY -- Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve is hosting the upcoming special event, Voices of the Past, from 10 a.m. -- 4 p.m. on Saturday.

Brothers Harold and Ralph Wampler came up with a simple solution: Take the first two letters of their first names. Since, Hara has been a household name in the region (and, in its heyday, the entire entertainment industry). Adding onto the dance hall built in 1956, the facility grew into a six-building complex that served as a convention, exposition and sports center on Shiloh Springs Road in Trotwood. When it opened in 1964, a whole new world of entertainment opened to the community. "It is a shame we have had to go to Cincinnati and Troy to enjoy the facilities these boys are putting up here," said Harry Kiefaber, a Montgomery County commissioner, at the groundbreaking. After more than six decades of business, the iconic venue will host its last event - a comic and toy show - on Saturday. Announcement of the closure inspired recollections across the region. Thousands have sung along with a favorite band, cheered for their team and commemorated special events at Hara Arena. /////////////////////////////////////////// After Nearly Two Years, NASA Regains Contact with Lost Spacecraft: Posted: 23 Aug 2016 05:08 PM PDT http://www.eham.net/articles/37416 After attempting to regain contact for nearly two years, NASA has finally reestablished communications with the sun-studying satellite, STEREO-B. At 6:27 p.m. ET, NASA received a downlink signal from the spacecraft using the ground-based communication antennas in the Deep Space Network. STEREO-B is one of two spacecraft that orbit the sun and make up the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (or STEREO) mission. STEREO-Ahead (STEREO-A) orbits slightly closer to the Sun than the Earth, and STEREO-Behind (STEREO-B) orbits at a farther distance from the Sun than the Earth. Together, they provide NASA with unprecedented views of the far side of the Sun. /////////////////////////////////////////// Ham Talk Live #28 -- Ward Silver, N0AX: Posted: 23 Aug 2016 04:29 PM PDT http://www.eham.net/articles/37415 Tune in on Thursday night at hamtalklive.com at 9 pm Eastern to hear from Ward Silver, N0AX, the President of the YASME Foundation and member of the Spurious Emissions Band. |
