Kay met up with three other amateurs and her friends Kyoko "Mio" Miyoshi, JR3MVF, Junichi Tojo, JH3AEF, and Jusei Kitai, JA3IVU, on their 7th trip to the Kingdom of Bhutan. They operated from Dochula Eco Retreat, which is described on the Internet as the most scenic spot in Bhutan. A picture of the hotel is below.

Greetings to members of the SFTARC
Summer activities are upon us! The heat and humidity arrived too quickly for my liking, and I found myself asking nobody in particular “Where did Spring go?” Oh well, I guess we put our best foot forward no matter what Nature happens to give us.

SFTARC members helped make the Lanesfield School Museum a little more prominent on the national map on Saturday Oct 14. This one-room limestone schoolhouse that is located just NE of Edgerton is operated by the Johnson County (KS) Museum and sits on the historic Santa Fe Trail. The School house was built in 1869, and then rebuilt in 1904 after a fire.
