Reminder - Topanga ARDF this Saturday
by Marvin Johnston 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

The next southern California on-foot transmitter hunt will be Saturday, August 18, at Topanga State Park. This session is part of a series of local events leading up to the USA ARDF Championships that will take place near Lake Tahoe during September. As always, this session is open to anyone of any age, with or without a ham radio license. Experts will be on hand to teach you the basic techniques. If you are a beginner, there will be entry-level two-meter fox transmitters just for you, set by Joe Moell K0OV. For advanced radio-orienteers, there will be a 5-fox two-meter course approaching the length of a national championship course, set by Marvin Johnston KE6HTS. One or more optional 80-meter fox transmitters may also be on the air. Transmitter hunting begins at 10 AM. You may start at any time up until noon. Courses close at 3 PM. A limited amount of radio direction finding gear will be available for loan. For the advanced 2-meter course, electronic scoring will be used. If you have an "e-stick," be sure to bring it. There is a $5 fee to cover expenses related to the use of Los Angeles Orienteering Club's e-punch equipment and maps. The beginner course and the 80-meter transmitter hunt are free of charge and e-punch is not required for them. Topanga State Park is in the Santa Monica Mountains. From Highway 101 in Woodland Hills, go south on Topanga Canyon Boulevard (Highway 27) about 8 miles. From Pacific Coast Highway, go north on Topanga Canyon Boulevard to just past Old Topanga Canyon Road. Either way, watch for a "Topanga State Park" sign and turn east onto Entrada Road. (This is a dangerous corner.) Go about a mile, bearing left at the fork. We will gather at the end of the parking lot in the shaded picnic area. Look for the orange and white orienteering flag. Talk-in will be on 146.97 MHz simplex. Vehicular entrance and parking costs $5 per vehicle. Special note: There is back-country camping in this park. You could camp out the night before to be there early for this event. A map to the site and link to camping information are at <www.homingin.com>. 73, Joe Moell K0OV

MicroChip PIC courses
by AJSOENKE＠aol.com 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

Hi everyone, I'm a relative newcomer to the PIC-EL group. My main interest is driven by Amateur Radio and a desire to use the PIC and PIC-EL as a teaching tool in my Electronics Technology course at the local High School (Santa Barbara, CA area). Tuesday I made the epic Trek to Orange County - Mission Viejo - to take the first two of the courses Microchip offers. Besides the courses I took ( 101 TLS, and 102 ASP ) _https://secure.microchip.com/RTC/index.aspx_ (https://secure.microchip.com/RTC/index.aspx) I opted to get the optional toolkit and development tools they offered. It was a thoroughly pleasurable training session and gave me a big jump start into the programming process. In addition to the great support I have received from Craig (AA0ZZ) with the PIC-EL Project (_http://home.comcast.net/~aa0zz/index.html_ (http://home.comcast.net/~aa0zz/index.html) ). The course was an individual training session and gave me an opportunity to ask lots of questions. An offshoot of the time I spent there was to ask if they (instructor, Rob Stranskey) would be interested in doing a day of courses in the Central coast area. (Total driving time through LA from Santa Barbara area - round trip under almost ideal driving conditions was 7 1/2 hours ). He said he would be comfortable with that idea if we could supply a classroom and some students. So, we're looking at some time late this year or early next year, say Dec'07 - April'08 give or take. If any of you might be interested on a Saturday session which could include 2 courses, let me know your course preference and I'll start a list of possible students. I'm pretty sure I can get together a dozen or so locally and maybe we can add another 20 from SFV and Ventura, San Luis Obispo Paso Robles etc. I'm sure you would find it an exciting experience. Does anyone know of a PIC User group on the North side of LA? I have to tell you, driving to Orange county from this area is an ordeal, so it'd be worth it for anyone within 100 miles of SBA. Usual cost for this sort of event is $49 a course. I'm Thinking of asking him as a guest speaker at the local radio club meeting (SBARC - _www.sbarc.org_ (http://www.sbarc.org) ) which would be a 3rd Friday of the month in evening, followed by classes the next day. If you're even remotely interested let me know _ajsoenke(a)aol.com_ (mailto:ajsoenke@aol.com) Al Soenke WA6VNN ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
