Once again this week, KIXS 108 Morning Show host Skeeter Nash will be anchoring the Amateur Radio Newsline® report, heard around the world, over the ham radio airwaves, and online at www.arnewsline.org.

Amateur radio enthusiasts from all over Texas (and beyond) will gather this weekend in Austin for the 30th annual Austin Summerfest at the Crowne Plaza. Amateur (aka "ham") radio is both a hobby and a service. Ham operators enjoy contacting other hams across town or on the other side of the globe, using everything from vintage radio equipment to the latest digital modes of communication!

Congratulations to Janis Hathaway of Victoria! She knew the answer to today’s Almost Impossible Trivia Question, and won a couple of yummy Jack In The Box Tacos! Q:  This "rule" isn't really a rule at all; in fact, it's been proven to be completely false! Which “rule” is it?

Area high school students soon will gather for the 18th annual Math & Computer Science Awareness Day at the University of Houston-Victoria and Victoria College.
