ORSI has not held a general membership meeting for several years. We lost our meeting site in Stillwater when Sirloin Stockade Closed. Then the pandemic and lockdown and some balls got dropped. Last fall at the Enid Hamfest the ORSI board of directors held a meeting. The main things that came out of the board meeting.

1. Our long time president, Duane Henderson KC5NID announced he is retiring.
2. He recommended Tristan as his replacement Tristan Collier KI5NHD
3. The board determined that Tristan KI5NHD will need to be voted in at a membership meeting.

W5DRO/R 442/875 +5 MHz PL 141.3 is now on the air and available for use. It's located high upon one of the TV towers in the NE OKC Tower Farm, and is a wide coverage repeater.

Both repeaters in Owasso, Tulsa County that were operated by Jim Pickett K5LAD are off the air. We regret to announce that Jim became a silent key earlier this year. The repeater equipment was acquired by Rogers Country Wireless Association. They would like to put the repeaters, especially the 146.700 back on the air in honor of Jim, but are in the process of locating a site that will cover Owasso.

The 147.375 repeater in Big Cedar, Leflore County in SE OK is coming back on the air, and will operate under the call sign N5CST. While the antenna will only be 100's above the ground, the site is on a steep hill that gives it an HAAT a little above 1000'. The ERP is estimated at 150W Should have awesome coverage. PL tone is 123 Hz and the repeater is open to all.

PL tone 103.5 repeater is operated by the Tulsa Area Emergency Management Group. The trustee Joe KE5VNG said that all radio amateurs are welcome to use the machine.

KD5DRW/R Is now fully operational with an 88.5 PL tone and open to all.
