Hello all:

WOOHOO!! it's finally time for some eyeball QSO's.

The Hoxie Hamfest is this coming Friday and Saturday, 2/17 and 2/18/2023.  

This is the website: https://w5wra.org/index.php/2023/01/11/winterfest-2023/

It's a wonderful get-together. It's the first Arkansas Hamfest of the year!

The Russellville Hamfest is now known as the Arkansas River Valley Hamfest.
It's scheduled for 3/4/2023.

Be sure to note the different location from previous years. This Hamfest is 
always well attended, and there is no doubt some radio-trading and story 
swapping (tall tales and leg pulling) will be going on!

Repeater owners and Trustees take note: The Arkansas Repeater Council will 
hold its yearly meeting at the Arkansas River Valley Hamfest. I don't have 
an agenda for the Hamfest yet, so I don't know what time it will occur.  
There will be a business meeting, so be sure to make time to be there. 
This meeting was held at Queen Wilhemena Hamfest last year, and we heard 
from a LOT of people that wanted it to be closer to the middle of the state.

Of course, our Section Manager, N5LKE, plans to be at both. Jay and I
both are looking forward to seeing everyone.

Please let us know if there is anything we might help you with.

73,
