KMO Needs a New Hamshack...
by Rod Fritz 31 Oct '11

31 Oct '11

Hello SBARC Members and Friends, My landlord’s kids moved back home so I need to move out to make room (it was a great run while it lasted). I have until 11/30 to get into a new place. A room, duplex or house will work, but I need permission to put up a small tower and antennas. Rent is quite flexible. Of course, the location at antenna level must be line of site to the ATV Repeater on Gibraltar Road. The area between Hwy 154 and Alamar (like San Roque/Samarkand) is preferred, but several other locations would work out well, too. Let me know as soon as possible if you hear of something that might work for me. Regards, Rod Fritz, WB9KMO rod(a)sbatv.org 805-637-0985 any time between 7:30am and 11:00pm

New tower for ARES
by Bill Talanian 26 Oct '11

26 Oct '11

The new USFS 100 ft tower for Santa Ynez Peak has now arrived. The semi arrived yesterday and parked at 101 and Refugio Road. The load had to be transferred to a shorter truck to make it to SYP. A crane will arrive today and lift the components into place. The tower erection will be finished in three working days. Due to limited logistics the present ARES antennas will not be reused. All new coax, connectors, and antennas will be installed. Complete cut-over should be expected within the next few weeks. We shall be working with the tower crew until the task is done.

SBARC club meeting this Friday, October 21
by Darryl Widman 15 Oct '11

15 Oct '11

PETER 1 ISLAND DXPEDITION 3Y0X ANTARCTICA 2006 Considered by some to be the DXpedition of the Decade, this adventure will bring the danger and excitement right into our club meeting room. You will see the helicopter flights, hear the howling storms and that nasty, incessant wind and you will struggle along with the team as they erect their antennas and shelters. You will hear the huge pileups as they sound from the bottom of the world and at the bottom of the sunspot cycle! You will see the daring rescue of a team member and 3 ship's crewmen as they remove the last of their gear from the island when it's time to leave. This is an hour-long drama you won't want to miss. Share the lives of the 22 brave men who planned for years for this special event. It was John Wayne who said, "Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway." Bring your popcorn! The SBARC club meeting is this Friday, October 21, at 7:30 PM at the Goleta Union School District, 401 North Fairview Ave. in Goleta. ____________________________________________________________ 57-Year-Old Mom Looks 25 Mom Reveals Free Wrinkle Trick That Has Angered Doctors! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/4e9a08f055c3fadf319st06vuc

Diablo lift off
by Bill Talanian 15 Oct '11

15 Oct '11

This week after a few false starts and cancellations the team of W1UUQ, W6AMS, and KD6VEX got to Diablo Peak on a space available basis for one day. Contractor for this project was AllTech who removed >20,000 lbs of batteries, racks and electronics equipment using both the 206 and 212 helicopters from Aspen Helicopters. New batteries were delivered to the site by helicopter from Prisoners Harbor. The 212 helicopter lifts were from a 100 ft sling. Some loads exceeded 1000 lbs. The winds picked up requiring some tricky approaches. In one lift as the helicopter lifted off the load got caught in the wind and slammed into the K6TZ rigging pulling the concrete based tower out of the ground. There was some damage to the antennas which can be fixed. A come-along was used to bring the tower back into alignment. None of the new batteries are for K6TZ.
