OCTOBER 2009 MISSOURI SECTION NEWS
DALE BAGLEY, KØKY MO SM
I preface this item with the statement. Phil Baldwin, NØPB, of Holiday, MO, has no idea that I am going to write a short report on a few of his accomplishments. I also want to note that I really don't know all of the accomplishments that he has achieved, but the ones I know of are worthy of a "Hats Off". Phil is the first to receive the Southeastern VHF Society award for working all EM grid squares from EM00 to EM99 operating Single Sideband. In June, 2001, he organized and continues to serve as net control of a 2 meter sideband net called the Northern Missouri SideWinders On Two (SWOT) Net. The net meets Mondays, 144.250, starting at 7:45 p.m. The current issue of CQ magazine reports that In 2008 Phil accomplished what to most VHF operators would view as nearly impossible by working his 48th State on 2 meters. Good job Phil and keep up the great effort on Amateur Radio.
On September 26th, The Missouri Traffic Net Picnic was held in Linn, MO. There was an excellent turnout of Amateurs and their families at the event and it was wonderful to visit with all the net members. Bill Hudson, WAØKBZ, deserves a great big pat on the back for his effort in getting the picnic organized and a heartfelt thank you to Larry Wilson, KØRWL, the MO Section Traffic Manager for his leadership.

Don Reader, WØDER reports that on October 16-18 there will be a Special Event Station, KØS, at the local Boy Scout Fall Encampment. The St. Charles Amateur Radio Club funded the purchase of the special QSL Card that will be used during the special event operation. The Full Color QSL Card will also serve as a token souvenir for the Scout/Scouter, commemorating the contact made at the Camporee. The Scout Encampment takes place on the grounds of the Daniel Boone Home near Defiance, MO in St. Charles County. This operation coincides with the annual international Jamboree-on-the-Air (JOTA) operating event. The main goal of the Special Event Station is to provide an opportunity for every Boy Scout or adult Scouters to Get-on-the-Air during JOTA and help Scouts earn a radio merit badge.
