Can you help us at 2pm today (Sunday)?
by rod＠sbatv.org 13 Feb '11

13 Feb '11

Hello SBARC Members and Friends, We're still looking for helpers at 2pm on Sunday. Drive yourself or carpool. Call me on 19/79 at about 1:45pm or on the phone at 805-637-0985. My email will only be read until about 10:30am. You're help will speed up getting the two-way link going again to the Amateur Television Network. Today (Sunday) at 2pm, I'm taking a few helpers up to the Santa Barbara ATV Repeater site on Gibraltar Road to work on several tasks. My main goals are 1) to get a usable signal on 5.8 GHz from Oxnard and 2) to hook up the 315' 7/8" hard line to the 10' grid antenna pointing at Santiago Peak. The latter will set the stage for our 2.4 GHz talk-back. Hopefully, that will be up and running soon. I need someone to bring a dolly (or two) that we can use to move the double-wide outdoor rack. Does anyone have a temporary or permanent home for the rack? Thanks a lot to those of you who are offering to help. Rod Fritz, WB9KMO SBARC ATVSIG Chair

Advance Notice - Santa Maria Swapfest
by Marvin Johnston 06 Feb '11

06 Feb '11

Dennis (WB6OBB) and I went to the SARC (Satellite Amateur Radio Club) yesterday to find out more about the Santa Maria Swapfest. The rumors were true ... the SwapFest is returning to the Newlove picnic grounds. Some of you might remember when the attendance was upwards of 1000 people, and it was a highly anticipated event. A large group from the Santa Barbara/Ventura area would meet for breakfast at Ellen's in Buellton about 7AM before the swapfest and fill up the back room. And then spend the day checking out the "stuff" for sale before heading back home, sometimes with a full load. An effort is being made to bring back those times, and I am excited to be a part of it. There will be a transmitter hunt, and preceeding I will be putting on an antenna clinic. The clinic will be an opportunity to build a t-hunting antenna and get some practice on transmitter hunting techniques. At this point, the information on the SARC website is outdated, but the updated information is expected to be on the site in the next week or so. http://www.satellitearc.com/ There will be a way to pre-register and save some money on the selling spots and BBQ. But I don't know the details yet. Marvin, KE6HTS PS - Anyone going to the Yuma Hamfest on Feb 18/19? Joe Moell (K0OV) and I will be down there to sell some "junque". Joe is giving a talk on T-Hunting, and we will be putting on an antenna clinic along with a transmitter hunt on the grounds. http://www.yumahamfest.org/
