SBARC club meeting this Friday night
by Darryl Widman 17 May '10

17 May '10

Come to the SBARC club meeting at 7:30 PM Friday, May 21 As you know, we meet at the Goleta Union School District, 401 N. Fairview Ave. across the street from the Goleta Library. The doors should open around 6:45 PM so come early and shake some hands. We are going to have a fascinating meeting presentation! We will learn much about: Solar Power Today Our guest speaker will be letting us know about solar energy power products including solar panels, solar cell modules, photovoltaic energy collectors, solar water heaters, solar lighting and more . . . Besides hearing from our guest speaker about solar power, this meeting will be our annual "Old Timers Night" celebration of our oldest hams, those having been in the hobby the longest time and our chance to view some really old radio equipment that was used many years ago. This is also your chance to tell us about how long ago you were licensed and show off your first radio (if you still have it). Please bring along your favorite old radios and provide a brief write-up about your gear. It doesn't need to be complicated. We will also be celebrating our club's 90th year anniversary by taking a look back at what ham radio gear was like many years ago. Everyone is invited and encouraged to have a slice of the SBARC birthday cake! Don't forget to bring your quality junque to deposit on the "free-to-good-home" table as well as take home your share of what others have deposited thereon. Remember, if you haven't as yet paid your club dues, please bring your $24 for 2010. Our Membership Chairman, Harry, K6PDQ, would just love to welcome you to our club and give you a firm handshake! Please bring along some cookies or whatever your favorite might be for the coffee table. And, don't forget to get your share of tickets to win the door prizes. I'm getting my share! See you Friday. 73, Darryl, KF6DI ____________________________________________________________ Car Insurance for $15/Mo? New Discounts for Car Insurance Available.

ATV Movie of the Week - Taking Requests...
by Rod Fritz 08 May '10

08 May '10

SBARC Members and Friends, By now, you're aware that for the last month or so, I've been putting a "movie" a week on the WWW.BATC.TV Film Archive web page for general viewing. Take a look if you haven't. There are several out there. I've focused on recent videos, but it's time to branch out. What would you like to see? I have raw video of about the last five years of SBARC Meeting presentations, plus several other events. I can often come up with older video if it exists (do you have any?). It is practical for me to put together a video slideshow from any collection of stills I can get my hands on. So. I'm taking requests. I'll try to accommodate anything you want. The request line is open. Rod Fritz, WB9KMO

JOTA 2010 -- Jamboree-on-the-Air
by Darryl Widman 08 May '10

08 May '10

CQ JOTA FROM NORTHAMPTON Of course you remember your Semaphore Code, right? You mean you haven't kept up your practicing? Shame! Nowadays, Scouts can communicate with each other over Amateur Radio. Indeed, some of them have earned their licenses. However, most have yet to do that. All they need is a kindly ham to invite a couple of them over to the shack to watch over his shoulder and see how it's done. When the time is right, the OM can invite them to come speak into his microphone and feel the magic. Imagine, talking with someone hundreds or even thousands of miles away and all with no wires -- no phone lines or cell phones! This is what we will be doing again this year as we invite a whole bunch of Scouts (Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts) to join us as we put on yet another Jamboree-on-the-Air from that neat spot just over the hill -- Rancho Alegre, the Scout Ranch of the Los Padres Council of the Boy Scouts of America. This event is held internationally each year on the third weekend of October. This year it will be on October 16 and 17. Some of us will even go the evening before that and get things set up. Camping out is really fun in the brisk autumn air. As you see, last year's patch for the boys' shirts was very handsome. You can bet that this year's patch will be also. This is just a heads-up to let you know that you are all wanted and needed as there are hundreds of Scouts in the council who will be wanting to attend this event. We will need to give the boys guidance and counseling as they will be involved with activities they have never heard of before. There will be HF communications, Amateur Television, Morse Code oscillator construction, Morse Code key construction, AMSAT communications and, of course, Transmitter Hunting. Some of us will find ourselves in the Radio Merit Badge Counselor position. What a wonderful weekend we will all have together. Please put the date on your calendar and plan on participating in a very gratifying activity. Helping our youth to discover new things and open their minds to help prepare them for their futures will make you feel nice and warm all over. It happens every year. Those who helped in previous years know what I am talking about. Please contact me by any means and tell me that you want to help and I will put your name on my list of good guys. Thank you, Darryl Widman, KF6DI JOTA Chairman 2010 805-969-2326 kf6di(a)sbarc.org ____________________________________________________________ Penny Stock Jumping 2000% Sign up to the #1 voted penny stock newsletter for free today! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/4be4e77a8506b388a8bst06duc
