Mount Pinos ARDF Saturday July 16
by Marvin Johnston 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

The last in a series of local events leading up to the USA ARDF Championships takes place on July 16 at Mt. Pinos in the Los Padres National Forest. It is open to anyone of any age, with or without a ham radio license. This ARDF course will be "advanced" level, about the same length as typical national championship courses, with five two-meter transmitters. Although it is intended as training for experienced radio-orienteers, it can be completed by newcomers who are capable of walking or running at high elevation for at least 5 kilometers. There will not be any short-range "beginner" transmitters, nor any 80-meter transmitters. Course-setter Marvin Johnston KE6HTS will be on hand to teach the basic techniques of on-foot direction-finding. Mount Pinos terrain is mostly runable forest. The air is clear, and there is no poison oak. Be sure to bring your own water. Scoring will be electronic. If you have an "e-stick," be sure to bring it. There will be a $5 per person charge for the use of Los Angeles Orineteering Club's equipment. Please be on time for this event. The radio-O group will meet at the McGill Campground day-use parking lot at 10:30 and carpool to the starting point at or near the Nordic Center (8300' elevation) three miles beyond the campground. We'll try to monitor 146.52 MHz simplex for ham operators, but may not be able to hear you if you're not close by. Directions: Take Frazier Park exit and go west on Frazier Mountain Park Road. Continue 8 miles, passing Frazier Park and Lockwood Valley Road (which is your last chance for supplies and water). Four miles beyond the Lockwood Valley turnoff, stay left at the fork onto Mt Pinos Road. (If you reach Pine Mountain Club, turn around.) Go another five climbing, winding, miles to McGill Camp on your right. As you enter the campground, the day parking lot is on your right just before the road goes out to the campsites. Overnight camping is available for $12 per campsite on a first-come-first-served basis at McGill Campground. The campground is dry, so bring your own water. As of June 2005, USFS Adventure Passes are no longer required at Mt. Pinos in the summer months. Questions? Send e-mail to marvin(a)rain.org 73, Joe Moell K0OV www.homingin.com

SBARC Bazaar July 9th, SBARC Hamfest August 13th, a Saturday as well !!!
by Michael P. Jogoleff 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

Hello SBARC members, After being appointed as the fill-in SBARC Treasurer, I realized that I would need help with the Bazaar and the Hamfest. The help in I need is in terms of cashiers for both events. The Bazaar is a rather short event lasting just a part of a morning and so I don't think we could need to worry about setting up shifts for this event. The Hamfest can go longer and thinking about "shifts" of cashiers might be in order. So, I any of you would be willing to help out, please get in touch with me at Tel: 560-0605 or Email: wa6mbz(a)sbarc.org. Thanks. -- --- 73 de 'Jug' - - - WA6MBZ Michael P.

by Marvin Johnston 26 Jun '05

26 Jun '05

Hi everyone, Just a reminder that we will be having a hamburger picnic at 5:00PM after the Field Day site is cleaned up and everything taken down. It will be held at Escondido Park and will cost about $3 - $4 each for hamburgers, potato salad, chips, and drinks. If you plan on attending, please let Dennis (dennis(a)rain.org) or myself know by 3:45 today (Sunday.) We have enough food for about 15 people and need to pick up more supplies if there will be more people than that. You don't need to have worked Field Day to attend. Thanks! Marvin, KE6HTS

SBARC Field Day
by Tom Saunders 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

SBARC Members, We still need operators for Field Day. We also need help setting up and taking down. Setup is Friday, June 24, starting at 11 am. Field Day operation starts Saturday morning at 11 am and runs to Sunday morning at 11. The location is Elings Park. Please note that we are located at the east part of Elings, near the hang gliders. This location is accessible from Cliff Drive or Flora Vista to Calle Montilla. We would like to have a bbq / potluck on Sunday at 5 PM. Since we can't cook in Elings, we will hold it next to Elings at Escondido Park (take Cliff Drive to Flora Vista). Please indicate your availability for Field Day and let me know if you will attend the bbq. 73, Tom Saunders N6YX
