Weather Radio Splendid!
April 7, 2008
Thought you might be interested in the results of the weather radio promotion that happened in the Oklahoma City metro this last Saturday. This is part of an email from WalMart’s electronics merchandiser, who has been our contact.
Special thanks and a huge “ATTA-BOY!” needs to go to Ronnie Warren at OKC EM, who pursued the project last year and has spearheaded it again this year.
Here are the numbers for all the stores that participated in the event.
Sat. only #'s 5,976
Total Wk from start of promotion time frame 8,940
Many more were sold in area stores around core stores that participated that benefited from all the media promotion of our event.
If you count the other locations that benefited we were able to put over 10,000 all hazard radios into homes this past week & weekend. Please thank all of the EM's and volunteers that participated in this event for us. It went very well and we could not have helped get this many people more prepared w/out the partnership with you.
Thank you again for all that you and your team did to help put this event together.

Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry
Proclaims June 18- 24, 2006
Amateur Radio Week
Oklahoma City, OK -- The ARRL - The National Association for Amateur
Radio, and all Oklahoma amateur radio operators who are dedicated to public service were recognized this week for their service to their communities. The proclamation from Oklahoma's Governor Brad
Henry proclaimed June 18 - 24, 2006, as Amateur Radio Week. Governor
Henry recognized amateur radio operators' "value in public assistance
by providing emergency radio communications and for these services
they donate to the state." Ham radio operators typically help with
communication during weather-related emergencies such as the
devastating hurricanes along the Gulf coast this past year.
The highlight of amateur radio week will be "Field Day" (an emergency
communications preparedness exercise), which takes place June 24-25
in locations all over the state (and thought out the nation). Field
Day is an annual nationwide event that was designed to test
operators' abilities to set up and operate portable stations under
emergency conditions, such as the loss of electricity, during severe
weather conditions, or other disasters. The event is a serious test
of skill and a contest for fun, too. During the weekend, the radio
operators try to contact as many other Field Day stations as
possible. More than 35,000 Amateur Radio operators across the country
participated in last year's event. The first Field Day was held in 1933.
"Amateur Radio is a lot of fun, and 2006 is the 100th anniversary of
voice over radio," says John Thomason, WB5SYT (Oklahoma ARRL Section
Manager) "In addition to our emergency communications preparedness,
this years Field Day will be used to show the public the fun side of
ham radio. We encourage everyone in the state to locate your local
clubs Field Day operation and drop by to see what ham radio is all
about. You may even get to make a few contacts while youre there.
To find your local Amateur Radio club, go to www.arrl.org click on
the link to clubs and locate local clubs by state or zip code. There
are 30 ARRL-affiliated clubs in Oklahoma; most will be holding Field
Day activities.
Ms.Denise Bode, OK Corporation Commissioner, discusses on June 12 the role of Amateur Radio in public service and the importance of FD 2006 with OK Section Manager John Thomason-WB5SYT"
