Veterans' Day this year marks the 100th anniversary of the National WW1 Museum and Memorial. The actual 100th is November 5, but that's not Veterans' Day this year. Really, we've been celebrating all year.
We are planning to operate remotely as WW1USA from the Overland Park Christian Church -- 7600 W 75th St, Overland Park, KS 66204, the usual meeting place of the Johnson County Radio Amateurs Club (JCRAC). We will be setup starting around 08:30 am, and will operate SSB and CW stations until around 4:30 pm. If you are interested in participating please email Charlie Van Way, N0CVW at cvanway@gmail.com for more informations and details. Come to the event, and bring your friends!

Welcome to the taste of fall weather! October is shaping up to be an exceptionally busy month for the Johnson County Radio Amateurs Club, packed with the regional convention, heavy and our club traditions.
ARRL Midwest Division Convention @ Spark-con
As you may already know, the ARRL Midwest Division Convention and Spark-Con is on October 9th & 10th in Sedalia. Because of this major regional gathering, our October business meeting has been shifted to Friday, October 23rd to prevent any scheduling conflicts and let everyone enjoy the convention. If you are heading down to Sedalia for the forums, gear swaps, and catching up with regional operators, safe travels, and make sure to share what you learn.
Annual Ensor Farm & Museum Radio Auction
October 17th is our Ensor Auction at the Ensor Park and Museum! This event is a cornerstone for the club’s supporting our ongoing operations, community outreach, and the preservation of the historic site.
Donation Items Needed: We are currently looking for gear donations for the auction. If you have spare transceivers, vintage boat anchors, test equipment, antenna tuners, cables, or accessories gathering dust in the shack that you’d like to turn into support for the club, please consider donating them. Every piece helps make the auction a success!
Consignments: Consignment items also welcomed.
Volunteers Needed
Besides needing help with setup and tear-down on the 17th, October is our club's month to help with guides for the museum. Hopefully you can spare a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday. Please look at the signup sheet and pick a time slot.
73,
Bill KA2FNK, President
