Joe Krout, W0PWJ, received the distinguished award of "Kansas Radio Amateur of the Year"
At The Kansas ARRL Convention, Salina, KS 2013!

Joe surrounded by Del Sawyer KØDDS, Jim Andera KØNK,
George McCarville WBØCNK, Dee Smith WØDEE (and three
unidentified hams) at the Greensburg, Kansas tornado 2007.
I have great respect for Joe and his interests and accomplishments in this hobby. I
first met Joe when he came with his dad, Harry W0YQG, to the Ensor Museum
back in about 2005 to see more of what this radio stuff is about, and why Harry
decided to get back into it after years of deferring to the responsibilities of work
and being the family head. His retirement from Electrical Engineering and the
freedom of time had arrived and Joe and Harry became a team of two.
Harry had just become a volunteer who was restoring the W9UA transmitter for the museum. That also caused
him to become re-licensed. Joe followed Harry into ham activities and volunteering with our Ensor goals of radio
restoration. Joe has also joined clubs and contributed to organizations involved in emergency preparedness.
I might add that Joe is my valued assistant at the Ensor Museum.
Larry Woodworth, W0HXS
Joe, you are one of the first to offer assistance anytime we have a SATERN workday or special event. I see that
you do the same for various other organizations such as ARES, RACES and at Ensor. I can always count on you
to be one of those who are available and willing to help. We are so very proud to have you as a member of our
SATERN organization. You are very deserving of the title, Kansas Radio Amateur of the Year.
Again, my congratulations and 73,
Rich Britain

course, along with the course, "Introduction to Disaster Services" is required for all Salvation Army officers,

throughout the upcoming year at various locations in Kansas and Western, MO. The course has already been

which includes the KC Metro area and we will be on 28.475 MHz
Jim Tuggle KC0NYK will be calling the net for the Southeast region of the state and he will be on 28.390
MHz’s I don't currently have any net control volunteers for other regions of the state, but will be looking for
that.
Also, since August has 5 Thursdays, we will have a special FM net on 8/29 using the NEKSUN (K0HAM) and K-
link linked repeater systems. Most KC area hams can use either the 146.94 or 147.315 K0HAM repeaters or the
444.900 repeater in Lawrence.
Remember that this net is open to all hams interested in Emergency Communications and is designed to test and
practice our ability to communicate beyond our local area in times of emergency.
Let me know if you have questions.
Thanks.
