From: Dana Trout <gdtpug(a)troutcom.com> To: SBPCUG Mailing List Re: GDTPUG Meeting Thursday March 1 >>> Goleta DeskTop Publishing Users Group Meeting <<< 7pm Thursday March 1, 2001 Goleta Public Library 500 N. Fairview Ave Goleta, CA >>> Publishing on the Web <<< OK, you've been browsing the Web and doing email, but you find that sending photos of the kids to the relatives is getting tedious. Instead of sending a copy of each photo to each relative, swim team parent or whatever, you could publish them in your own web site. This approach has several advantages: 1. You can organize the photos into a meaningful story, instead of just a wad of attachments. 2. You can caption the photos, and include descriptive prose that tells the viewer what's happening and why. 3. Photos download from a web page in half the time they take as an email attachment, so recipients of your messages who have slow connections will thank you. Web pages have become quite easy to build -- you don't have to learn any arcane languages (HTML, JavaScript, etc.) -- just create your pages on the screen and drop in the text, pictures, buttons, and whatever. The cost? As low as FREE!! We will look at several of the free and very low cost methods of creating web pages. We will also show how to put them on the Web for all to see. ------------------- Remember, the meetings are free and open to the public. Please bring a friend.

22 Feb '01

Subject: New QRP Special Interest Group Greetings QRP'r and other interested hams! This past Monday night at the SBARC Swap Net, the idea of a weekly QRP net following the Swap Net on Mondays (~8:30 pm) was given the spark of life by net control/QRP'r/kit builder/all-around-good-guy Hap De Simone, N6LZB. If this sounds like fun, put it down on your calendar for the first official gathering of the QRP Net, Monday, February 26, 2001 at approx. 8:30 pm. I imagine that Hap will start it off, as it was his idea. Who finally becomes the net control and what will be the the form of the group will be up to the participants. If you have an Amateur Radio license, this should be right up your alley. Come join us next Monday and... Spread the word. Darryl Widman, KF6DI

Fw: New Texas Bill seeks to "regulate wireless communication facilities."
by W6YN Don Milbury 06 Feb '01

06 Feb '01

--------- Forwarded message ---------- From: W6YN Don Milbury <w6yn(a)juno.com> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- The Official ARRL Santa Barbara Section E-mail List Server ______________________________________________ --------- Forwarded message ---------- From: TOM BLACKWELL <radio(a)airmail.net> I had both a phone call and an EMail from Jim Haynie today about a new bill in the Texas Legislature that would "regulate wireless communication facilities." Be aware that the ARRL is involved to protect the interests of amateurs on proposals like this. After all that was said to establish the Texas PRB-1 Law in 1999, I am surprised to see this proposal. It seems there are no limits to the misunderstandings by some members of the public about amateur radio, and about technology generally. I seriously doubt that a bill like this will be designated for a committee hearing. In fact, it has not been assigned to a committee, yet. There is no companion bill in the Senate. In Texas, it is said there is only one way to pass a Bill, but 1000 ways to kill one. I have experience doing both. Technology regulation has been an interest of mine for some time - - I handled the statements in the platform of my political party on investment in technology, on the internet, and on FCC policy (see the URL in my tag line, below). I spoke with the bill sponsor's office today. They tell me that their office has been approached by citizens who were concerned about towers in their neighborhoods. They say they expect to amend the bill. In the interest of studying the misconceptions that have led to this, I have offered to discuss this with these concerned citizens if they will contact me. I also discussed with their office the work that was done on the Texas PRB-1 Bill by Rep. Patricia Gray (D-Galveston) in 1999, which, I thought, settled the issue. Those wanting to comment to the sponsor, Rep. Robby Cook, should send EMail to his Legislative Aide, Amy Loos at amy.loos(a)house.state.tx.us Tell her that you want to see amateur radio excluded, and that if the bill proceeds to a hearing and the concerns with it are not worked out, that you expect to be personally present to testify in opposition. Request to be notified of the date and time of the hearing. It is my experience that this is the kind of message that gets the most attention at this stage of the game. Amateurs enjoy respect at the Texas Legislature because of the work on the PRB-1 Bill, measures involving license plates, and other issues. This is an opportunity for us maintain the respect that we have been given. Amateur radio is in this position because of the personal investment in equipment by individuals, which is used without charge, remuneration or profit, for public service. Amateurs have provided meaningful contributions for public safety. We can not do this if there are unreasonable restrictions on antennas, as would be proposed by those who do not understand the technology. It also seems some citizens are not acquainted with the 'spirit of ham radio' to provide these services in ways that are open and free on the public airwaves.
