If you missed the Southside Hamfest in Grandview
or the Halloween Hamfest in Kirkwood, you missed a couple of
fun Hamfests. The folks that organized and hosted the Hamfest did a great

CORES REGISTRATION
(repeated from October because it is so important)
Tom Hammond, N0SS, of the MidMO ARC recently reminded
the membership that as of Dec. 3, 2001, a FCC Registration Number (FRN)
will become manditory. He distributed a paper organized by Steve
