My appreciation and thanks goes to Joe McKinzey, W5YPN, for his leadership ofChapter 63 for the past two years. A committee ruas formed to explore the possibility of Chapter 63 hosting the national convention in 1995. Joe Lynch, N6CL, was appointed to chair the committee. Lynch said that he will solicit the help ofthe surrounding chapters in the adjacent states in order to make Oklahoma City a successful site should it receive national Board approval. Our Thursday evening 2-meter net which meets on 145.41 MlIz repeater is progressing quite nicely. Because of this net, we have received a few additional check-ins for our IIF Sunday morning net which meats on 3855 kIIz at 8 AM. Incidentally, our 2-meter net meets at 7 PM. Bob Ashby, W5ID(L, is our net control and he provides a good bit of entertainment for all. Bob, by the way, recently had surgery and we are really proud of him for his speedy recovery. Keep up the good work, Bob! The Jourual editor, Joe Lynch, N6CL, recently went to Cuba to help build a church. While there, he attended the a special meeting ofthe offrcers ofthe national ham radio organization in Havana where he brought greetings from ARRL and other messages of good will. Joe was on national TV and he even received recogrition on an ARRL bulletin. To keep Joe humble, I informed him that he was still expected to carry out the big trash compa.ctor bag for me. Norm Wilson, W5FLO, is to be commended for his work with the Baptist llams who helped the victims of the tos Angeles earthquake, To keep Norm humble, Gene, K5DLE, told him on our 75meter net that he went quite a distance out of his way to receive a few free meals. Thanks for your good work, Norm. Our next meeting will be in conjunction with the Iawton Hamfest on April 9 in Lawton. We will meet with members of North Texas Chapter ll4 at the El Zurappe Restaruant, which is near the hamfest site. Those who attend the hamfest are welcome to have lunch with us.

Photo couilesy IVSMDL CIIAPTER 67, AUSTIN: There were two interesting highlights of tlrc Austin, Texas Chapter 67 meeting on Jamrary l5th. The first was a slurper focus on the Chapter's goal of assi$ing local schools in 0rcir efforts of exposing int€rested sfudents !o Amateur Radio. The second nas a most captivating p,rogram given byNeil Weigand, WA5VIZ. When our Chapter lost W. E. '?et€" Petenolt" W5OY, as a Silent Key, his widow enlisted the Chapter's help in getting Pete's station into a local school in memqial to her husband. We werc hmced to have Mr. Joe Farley, N5FQM the teacher with tlre school that was ctrcser; pay us a visit and oEress his thanks for wtut that meant to ttre kids. He informed us utnt days and times would be app,ropriate for members of the Chapter to come by and operate the station fu the shdents. This had a 'teinlbrcernent" effect on those utro haa opressea their willingness to participate in ttris oppctunity. After Joe's little talk, the'tet''question was wtrcther or not our meeting was "bugged!" Neil, WA5VLZ, had invitd several otlrers to join him in bringing their old keys and "bugs" for a "show & tell" progmm. Never in this Chapter has there ban an assemblage of so many types of "finga-talking" &vices! Mosl of our manbership were amazed at the great variety and styles and types of Morse code keying apporatus. Ihe blank spaces on the table indicate trowmany were circulating anrong the menrbers as we lmked closer. It tnxas a great program. Patnps this will trigger an idea for tlrc other chapters arotud the county. Respectfully submitte{ Hal Henegar, W5MDL, Newsletter Editor.
