Field Day
by Ken Alker 06 Dec '15

06 Dec '15

1) Santa Barbara Independent coverage of K6TZ Field Day: http://www.independent.com/news/2015/jul/21/amateur-radio-club-competes-fie… Please note, someone named John Kendall put what I believe is an erroneous comment at the bottom of this article. It needs to be corrected. Can someone with knowledge about the radios in the shack please submit a response (politely, despite his demeanor)? Is there really a marine radio in there? Perhaps someone could submit the exact radio and model number and capabilities (not marine?) in a reply (assuming he's referencing the one that the left-most operator is using??). Or, let me know, and I can submit. 2) Below is a summary of the Field Day entry form that I submitted this morning. It is due by 2059UTC today. If anyone sees any errors/corrections, please let me know [by calling me at 685-2030 as I'll be away from email]. I submitted 176 points for the below listed contacts, which includes bonus points for media coverage (thanks, Brian), and bonus points for submitting results via the ARRL web site. The form requests the number of participants but I'm not sure how many operators we had (Theo, who ran the event - thanx!, Leigh, me, and a new member/visitor who brought his son [sorry - forgot name]) - any I missed? I'm not sure who is pictured in the article at left - perhaps another operator I missed?

K6IYK For Section Manager
by Fortney, Jim - K6IYK 29 Sep '15

29 Sep '15

Hello SBARC Amateurs - I have decided to take my efforts to improve the communications within the Section to the next level and I am turning to my friends in the Santa Barbara area for support. I am running for the position of Section Manager of the ARRL Santa Barbara Section and would appreciate you considering me for that position. After sharing my goals with a large segment of the members of the Section, I found the desire to have a choice in this election was overwhelming. Many others believe the Santa Barbara Section will greatly benefit from efforts to improve the sharing of information and the promotion of teamwork. It is agreed that we need to effectively promote leadership efforts and work to incorporate new Hams into the community. The success in doing this will require the efforts of a lot of you, but I am willing to provide active leadership. Will you join me? My goals and background are discussed in the attached flyer, and you can learn more about what I have done in the past by looking at my <http://www.qrz.com/db/k6iyk>QRZ Bio. ARRL Members will receive a Ballot in the mail in early October. I ask for your vote and encourage you to promptly send in your Ballot. If you do not know me, just ask your fellow SBARC Members. I believe they will give me a good recommendation. I will also try to attend the next Club Meeting so we can meet. Questions or comments may be directed to <mailto:K6IYK@K6IYK.net>K6IYK(a)K6IYK.net . Thank You Very Much, - Jim Fortney - K6IYK

Key-Klix back issues
by Dorothy Oksner 26 Sep '15

The club station has a complete set of Key-Klix in binders on the shelf that Michael Ditmore set up. I'm pretty sure they are complete. The station would not need another set. -- Dorothy K6DSO

I discovered the signed Proclamations by City and County in a storage box without packing material to protect them at the cargo container. Figuring no one wanted these two anymore I retrieved them. They are now mounted at the Repeater equipment shelter in a conspicuous position. The Proclamations look very presentable at the shelter for visitors to see. Dave is aware they are posted at the repeater shelter. Recently a nearby neighbor came on site. He and his wife were concerned about RadHaz since they have several children. Gave them a short tour. I noticed their eyes looked at the Proclamations and got their attention who we were and what we do. It made the conversation much easier after an explanation about RadHaz and willing to disclose RF levels and testing responsibility. They departed and satisfied with our explanations. Received a nice email with thanks. Bill Talanian

I replied to Lou. If nobody else wants this, I'll take it. Is there a volunteer to take it to Tunnel Road, where I store things locally? -------- Original message -------- From: Brian Milburn <brian(a)k6bpm.com> Date: 09/24/2015 09:06 (GMT-07:00) To: sbarc-list(a)lists.netlojix.com Subject: [Sbarc-list] Key-Klix Archive Forwarded at the request of Lou - N6ZKJ: Free: Nearly complete set of Key-Klix publications from the first volume in 1954 to about 2008.
