SBARC Club Meeting This Friday
by Darryl Widman 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

Club Meeting This Friday This Friday, April 15, we are going to have another wonderful club meeting presentation! Our guest speaker will be Jennifer Roe, AA6MX from Simi Valley. Jennifer has served as the Section Emergency Coordinator for the Santa Barbara Section of the ARRL. Jennifer will give us a great presentation on Emergency Preparedness. Probably for most of us, it has been quite a while since giving much thought to this vital subject let alone hearing from an expert about it. Are you really ready? This should be a very interesting and worthwhile club meeting. 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 2011. 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 this Friday. 73, Darryl, KF6DI ____________________________________________________________ Obama Urges Refinance If you owe under $729k you probably qualify for Obama's Refi Programs http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/4da3e1167ba759baffst01vuc

Lake Los Carneros results and next event
by Marvin Johnston 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

What a great turnout! We haven't had such good participation on the full ARDF course in quite a while. A couple of newcomers built antennas and joined in the fun. It stayed cloudy and cool all day, with intermittent mist. Julianne Walsh KI6DYX showed off the cool plastic handles and element holders for tape-measure yagis that she and her OM are making. The handle has a compartment to hold the active attenuator and battery. She says her next project will be a holder for the receiver for complete one-hand DFing. These items should be available for purchase soon on the Web. ARDF 2-METER COURSE RESULTS -- 5 FOXES Name and call Time Foxes Dean Dods KD6I 0:37:49 5 Bob Cooley KF6VSE 0:38:21 5 Dick Norton N6AA 1:00:43 5 Bill Smathers KG6HXX 1:39:28 5 John Rendler KI6DIG 1:43:35 5 with Shannon Darryl Widman KF6DI 2:09:13 5 Dean Graham KJ6JRK 3:29:56 5 Julianne Walsh KI6DYX 2:30:08 3 Rick Whitaker KG6VLB 3:18:28 1 Congratulations to Dean Dods and Bob Cooley! Each of them found all five transmitters in less than eight full cycles. Marvin Johnston KE6HTS did a great job with the antenna/attenuator clinic and April Moell WA6OPS was on hand with the First Aid supplies to fix minor cuts and scratches, of which there always seems to be at least one. Our next event will be Saturday, May 14 at Tri-City Park in Placentia. This will be in conjunction with the Fullerton Radio Club's "Antennas In The Park" event and will include another antenna/attenuator workshop. I'll post more details after the club's board meeting this week. Joe Moell K0OV
