New MeshPhone extension added to Sunflower Net

Thanks to K5GLH, a Christmas present for bit.ly/SunflowerNet appeared this week There is NOW a NEW verified  MESH phone extension 5728803 for the service  ... after connecting, dial *99 to talk and # to listen.  

This would be very valuable during extreme communication efforts, ex. terrorism, severe weather, civil unrest.  There are emergency operations centers connected to MESH and more emergency management personnel are finding other AREDN tools. 

As you know AREDN MESH  is a robust network ... https://hamsoverip.github.io/wiki/reference/linked/meshphone/ describes calling from HOIP to MESH and back.

Dial it up and see how it works for you.

There are other VIOP phone extensions also added.  Check the web page above for details.

A Christmas movie #WWII

 What would happen if Peace broke out in the midst of a war?  

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338434/?ref_=fn_t_4 is based on a true story.  

On the anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, a Colston #Christmas tradition is to watch the movie.

Sarah's Oil #OKlahoma

 Saint Judy and I watched Sarah's Oil and it was entertaining.  

If you have any idea of Oklahoma history, you might appreciate the tie to the Freedmen, oil, Kate Barnard, Jim Crow era, and in Native American Heritage Month, how well it went for the treaties.

Factual facts in the movie:

NAACP ... formed two years after Statehood.

Freedmen ... Sarah Rector is part of that movement

Kate Barnard ... before women could vote, she was a part of Oklahoma history and government.

The maps were roughly accurate.  The timeline was believable.

Go see it.  If you are not an #Okie, take someone with you to explain it.
