Hams needed to communicate [alien] culture from the Funk Zone to mission control at the Art Museum, Oct 6 and 7...
by Rod Fritz 05 Oct '12

05 Oct '12

Hello SBARC Members and Friends, This is a shameless plea to get you to help in a public service event and have fun doing it. We need a few hams to help kids transmit audio and slow-scan TV pictures between two downtown locations on Sat Oct 6 and Sun Oct 7 from 11am to 5pm. If you can work any portion of either day, you're hired. Please let me know if you want to participate. It helps to know we have this covered in advance, so please volunteer as soon as you can. The Art Museum's press release (below) describes the event. 73, Rod Fritz WB9KMO SBARC Outreach Chair ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - The Funk Field Station: Creating a Culture Collector On Oct 6th and 7th artist Patrick Melroy, working with young artists from Santa Barbara's Museum of Art Teens 4 Teens High school Internship Program, in collaboration with the Santa Barbara County Arts Commission will transform a commonplace shipping container into a Culture Collector for the Funk Zone. Inspired by the SBMA exhibition, "Scene on the Street" in which photographer, Doug Busch uses his large format camera to elevate the everyday, Melroy and his cadre of students will capture and communicate community stories and images from visitors and residents of the Funk Zone. Taking on the persona of research station the artists, (just added) using the expertise of the Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club's HAM operators will transmit culture bites back to mission control, located at the museum. Intrepid tourists and locals alike are encouraged to set out in search of the Funk Field Station signal. It's scavenger hunt meets science; all artfully imagined and ready for shipping October 6th. The container will be staffed from 11pm to 5pm on Saturday, and from 11 to 5 pm on Sunday. Watch face book and twitter for more ways to connect.

The Carpenteria Triathlon is coming up on Sunday, September 30,2012. We need Ham Operators who are willing to bring their 2 meter radio, a comfortable chair or car to sit in, and spend the morning talking on the air to support the Bike Race and/or Run that will take place. It's a fun morning and the people who we are helping out are always very appreciative. If you have the time please contact me with your information. Since this is run by the City of Carpinteria, there is an extra step that has to be completed on their website but it is very easy and I can give you more information. 73 Rick Whitaker VP of Operations Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club rickwhtr(a)cox.net 964-5440 home 451-3436 cell

iCOM IC-7800 For Sale
by B.Bascom 10 Sep '12

10 Sep '12

Here's an opportunity for you to own a quality rig at a bargain price. 200 watt output. Two receivers means you can use two antennas to implement diversity reception; when the signal fades in one antenna, it often peaks in the other. Even if you've got one of those technically advanced SteppIR antennas, it won't eliminate QSB alone. Asking price $7,999.99 + shipping (CONUS only). Local Santa Barbara pickup too. E-mail for photographs: Larry(a)kj6yvt.com or Additional photographs here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170908039086 From 40 Years of RF Design Expertise Comes the Masterpiece Ham Radio Transceiver http://www.icomamerica.com/en/products/amateur/hf/7800/default.aspx The IC-7800 is an artistic fusion of over 40 years analog RF circuit development expertise and cutting-edge digital technology. The result is TWO identical receivers with 110dB dynamic range, +40dBm 3rd order intercept point, and unmatched DSP technology in the HF bands something that has never been achieved in Ham radio! Simply put, Icom has developed the ultimate Amateur HF transceiver. No one else comes close! Don't you deserve the pleasure of operating a super rig today?
