All Amateurs capable of operating on the exercise frequencies are invited to participate. One of the Section goals for 2016 is to improve the communications between Amateurs in the Section. Several efforts have been in process this year to publicize our many Nets and to implement supplemental electronic communications. This exercise will investigate the ability to use RF capabilities to communicate information across the whole Section at one time and to involve a large number of operators in a Net environment. If you are available to join in this test, please try to access the portal in your area and check-in with Net Control using your Call Suffix. You will be asked to report your Callsign, Location (City), and the repeater you are using for access. The Exercise will start at 1000 hours and continue to 1045 Hours. Stations do not need to remain on frequency for the entire net and should have plenty of time to participate in any local Great Shake-Out activity or the special CalOES or SWOES Nets being held during the same time frame. The following repeaters will be part of this exercise: W6FM 147.360 MHz (127.3 Hz) Mt Lowe - San Luis Obispo W6RRN 448.760 MHz (131.8 Hz) Santa Ynez Pk - Santa Barbara W6RRN 448.600 MHz (141.3 Hz) Rasnow Pk - Thousand Oaks W6RRN 445.800 MHz (141.3 Hz) Chatsworth Peak - Simi Valley Your participation will be appreciated. - JimF K6IYK ---------------------------------------------------------------------- James T.

Next ARDF October 22 at Bonelli Park
by Marvin Johnston 12 Oct '16

12 Oct '16

Note: I need to know no later than October 19 from anyone who wants to build one of the Complete Tape Measure Beam kits. Thanks! Marvin, KE6HTS The next southern California on-foot transmitter hunting session will be Saturday, October 22, 2016 at Bonelli Regional Park. It is intended for both beginner and intermediate level transmitter hunters. All ages are welcome, so bring the family. A ham radio license and/or knowledge of radio equipment are not requirements. Try your hand at some easy two-meter transmitters set by Joe Moell K0OV plus a 5-fox two-meter international-rules course of beginner-to-moderate difficulty, set by Marvin Johnston KE6HTS. One or more fox transmitters on the 80-meter band may also be set up to try. Experts will be on hand to help you. For those who want to build RDF gear for use with their own two-meter hand-held radios or scanners, Marvin will have kits for measuring-tape yagis and active attenuator circuit boards. He also has complete antenna/attenuator kit that includes the power switch, BNC connector, housing and battery, ready to install as the tape measure beam is built. There will be tools and soldering stations for building. If you're not an electronic technician, don't worry because there will be experts to help you. Send e-mail to Marvin (marvin(a)west.net) to pre-register and get more information about equipment. The building session will only take place if there are sufficient advance registrations. If you already have equipment and just want to hunt transmitters, you don't need to pre-register. If it takes place, the building session will start at 9:30 AM. Please be prompt. Beginner transmitters will be on the air at that time. The main 5-fox hunt will start about 10:30 AM. Hunters may start the courses at any time until 1 PM. Courses close at 3 PM. If you have receivers, scanners, directional antennas, attenuators, or other equipment suitab le for on-foot RDF, be sure to bring it. Make sure all batteries are fresh. A limited amount of RDF gear will be available for loan. Trails are primitive in some areas of the park, so wear sturdy shoes. All ages are welcome, but young children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Bonelli Regional Park is near Raging Waters, Brackett Field, and Puddingstone Reservoir. From the 57 freeway north of I-10, take the Via Verde exit and go east through the entrance to the park. There is a per-vehicle entry fee. Go approximately 1/4 mile beyond the entrance and turn left into the parking lot for the Snack Shoppe (formerly the bike rental stand). Look for the orange-and-white orienteering flag directing you to the starting area. Talk-in is on 146.97 MHz simplex. 73, Joe Moell K0OV
