We mourn the passing of James AD5SW. He and his XYL Jackie KD5TCY were always there to help in EMCOMM situations. James will be missed by all who knew him. If you have some thoughts we'll include them in a memorial page just for James AD5SW. Contributions to the Williams family fund are being handled by Bernie K5XS at k5xs@aol.com. ATTENTION QSL card seekers. Please, when requesting a QSL card, send an SASE which is a standard business size or larger because the W5T train mobile cards will not fit in a letter sized envelope. We didn't know the printer was going to make the card slightly larger. We didn't know this was going to happen and we have a lot of W5T cards. ATTENTION, AA5AR is now on Logbook Of The World (LOTW). If you want a contact confirmed please email us at i f o a (at) arkanhams.org. Dale Temple W5RXU, Arkansas Section Manager for the ARRL has begun a terrific new website devoted to the Arkansas Section. Check it out! Arkanhams Club Meeting was held Monday evening February 6th at 6:30 PM at the Red Cross Office in Tontitown. Guest speaker will be an "insurance buddy" of Joe KD5TLH talking about why hams need insurance. VE testing will be available at each club meeting at 8 PM. Be sure to bring $15 in cash, a copy of your current license or CSCE. Your driver's license is used for ID purposes. Let us know ahead of time, if possible, so that we have a sufficient number of VEs present. If you want to receive email notices of upcoming meetings and events please send an email to Scott at KD5KZJ(at)ARRL.NET. The new members of the ARKAN Board are now posted on th Contact Info page.*

QRZ callsign lookup:	Hams in NWA take on ARRL Sweepstakes This past weekend (11/19 and 11/20) a trio of hams, K5DB (Don), KK5II (Paul) and KD5KZJ (Scott), using the club callsign W5JJ particpated in the 2011 ARRL Phone Sweepstakes. They logged 1127 (unconfirmed) conatcts and had a clean sweep, working at least one contact in each of the 80 ARRL sections. W5JJ was operated out of Don's home QTH. Operating equipment was a Ten-Tec 538 Jupiter, Ameritron AL-80B and a Moseley TA-33 up 55 feet. Many stations expressed delight in working the station - it seems that Arkansas is a somewhat rare section. You can find out more about the Sweepstakes at http://www.arrl.org
