OKLAHOMA SCHOOL CLUB NEEDS STUDY GUIDES
PAUL/ANCHOR: A group of Oklahoma youngsters is aiming high in its on-air
achievements, but as we hear from Lloyd Colston, KC5FM, they need your
help to continue their progress.
LLOYD: Out in rural Oklahoma, under the granite mountains, and above the
waving wheat, KF5CRF - the Tiger Radio Club - has been winning awards
under the leadership of Clifton Harper, KE5YZB. Their accomplishments
include claiming first place in their category in the ARRL School Club
Roundup in 2016. The members are students in the Mangum Public Schools,
ranging in age from 13 to 18 -- and their activities are all about
learning. Students receive instruction and mentorship, and study for their
licenses, and then get on the air. But you can�ot study without study
guides and the club is in need of replacement guides to help the new
students coming on board. The club is seeking donations to the Tiger Radio
Club help fund the guides -- and the future hams they will help create.

KICKER: HOT ON THE TRAIL OF STOLEN TRAILER
PAUL/ANCHOR: In our final story this week, the roles became reversed for
one ham club in Tennessee, as the public stepped up to help the group
recover their stolen communications trailer. Jim Damron, N8TMW, tells us
more.
JIM: Usually, it's the amateur radio communications trailer that saves
the day in its public service role, passing critical information during
power failures, tumultuous weather, and even during major outdoor events,
and Field Day. Recently, however, it was the public who helped save the
day for one such trailer. Members of the Chattanooga Amateur Radio Club
in Tennessee, told police their trailer had been stolen either the night
of July 4th, or in the early hours of July 5th. It had been parked
outside a club member's business in a securely fenced-in area. Club
president Gary Ownsby, AK4ZX, told Newsline that local media, social
media, other clubs, and the public quickly put word out, and a police
report was made. Gary said he was bowled over when the response came in
from hams across many states. WRCB-TV aired a story, asking viewers to
help. On July 7th, the trailer was found - one mile away - with its tires
deflated. The hams and the sharp-eyed community are now looking for its
missing equipment: two HF radios, a D-STAR radio, two generators, and
other gear. Anyone who thinks they've seen any of it being sold is asked
to telephone the club at 423-308-3477.
Gary said: {quote} "Looking at the "lemonade" side of this whole situation,
the goodwill our club has received from our local community and media,
social media, ham clubs, and individual hams, has been spectacular, and
heartwarming." {endquote} We wish them luck in their recovery efforts.
For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Jim Damron, N8TMW.
