Narrative:
Location: ukw VOR. During descent forgot to reset altimeters passing transition altitude due to distractions of calling maintenance and reviewing bowie 1 arrival with considerations for dfw VORTAC off the air. Due to difference of .37 in local altimeter and QRH we leveled off approximately 370 ft high. No conflict noted with any other traffic and ATC did not inquire about our altitude.
