2022 Wings Over Camarillo - Call for volunteers.
by Avi Carmi 10 Jun '23

10 Jun '23

Hi all, Sorry for the delay in setting up the volunteer registration, I had to deal with a confluence of health and technical issues. 2022 Wings Over Camarillo I have not heard anything to the contrary, so I assume that everything will be the same, i.e. free entrance to the show, parking, hat, pancake breakfast, lunch, and all the water and soft drinks you can drink Stroll through the show and provide eyes/ears/comms Same as last year, we have the show director shadow, which should be a very exciting close-up assignment, you will have two radios: a commercial show radio and your ham radio. The Shadow will follow the show director and provide communication support. You are welcome to sign up for two consecutive Shadow shifts and stay with the show director for the entire day. Unless you are stationed at the comm trailer, plan on a lot of walking for four hours in the hot August sun. Bring your HT, headset/earpiece, a yellow shirt, communications vest (if you have one) hat, sunscreen, water, etc The Ham Radio assignments are password protected, click on the following link which includes the password: *https://woc.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/?id=63328&&job_password=ham73* <https://woc.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/?id=63328&&job_password=ham73> If you somehow end up at the top-level public landing page https://woc.volunteerlocal.com click on the "Sign up now" link, which will take you to the signup form, then enter *ham73* in the password field and click Submit Please do not share the password publicly as there are lots of nasty disruptive people out there :-( But do feel free to forward this to any ham operator club or group (SBARC, ARESLAX, etc) The instructions on the signup site are "generic", most do not apply to us, so please follow these instructions to sign up: 1- *MAKE SURE* to click on the "*view description*" as there are important assignment specific notes in there! Please do not sign up for a walking assignment if you cannot walk in the hot August sun. 2- Check off your desired assignment (or assignments, as long as they are not both AM or PM shifts, note that I disabled "overlap check" since schedules do overlap by an hour, you may still sign up for both AM and PM shifts) *NOTE: *only the currently* OPEN AVAILABLE *assignments are shown by the system, if you do not see a desired assignment, it means that it was taken If you cannot sign up for any other time slot/assignment, please contact me, and I'll see if I can arrange a swap. *NOTE: *the "gate" position can be an "add on" assignment for a color or a rover, it entails coming in early and sitting at Gate 7 for about two hours to check-in ham volunteers, then over to the comm trailer for the briefing and to your primary assignment 3- Scroll down to the bottom or the form 4- Fill in your email, name, phone 5- The *call sign* field should automagically show up after you check a "Ham Radio" job checkbox (and other unrelated fields should disappear) 6- Select "*Avi Carmi K6AVI*" for Job Captain and "*Ham Radio Operators*" for the Group/Organization from the respective pulldown lists. These are required fields, but not enforced, so please be sure to select. 7- Fill in your birthdate if under 18 (don't you wish?) 8- Then check the box and fill your name under the waiver 9- And finally, click the "*Sign Up To Volunteer*" button You should receive a confirmation email, unfortunately, it will come from Stephen, the show's volunteer coordinator, not me. (also I do not get any notification that anyone signed up, only he does...) A generic map, our sector map, and the parking permit *WILL SOON BE* available on your volunteer profile page which is accessible by clicking the "Check your status here" button on https://woc.volunteerlocal.com or go to https://woc.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/self_check.php I will send more detailed directions/instructions prior to the show, but if you have any questions/concerns/comments, please let me know 73, -avi -- avi(a)carmi.us 805-616-2636 <http://voice.google.com/calls?a=nc,%2B18056162636> <http://voice.google.com/calls?a=nc,%2B18056162636> <http://voice.google.com/calls?a=nc,%2B18056162636> K6AVI https://avicarmi.com

pictures of the local repeater peaks with snow
by Ken Alker 26 Feb '23

26 Feb '23

Santa Ynez Peak and Broadcast Peak were both covered with snow this morning, and the towers were white as could be as if they were also covered in snow (or ice)! Unfortunately, I was unable to take pictures until a couple of hours later so the whiteness had subsided a bit by the time these pictures were taken. My telephoto is not very good quality so the pictures are not very good, but it is still fun to see the peaks, where the K6TZ and WB6OBB repeaters are located, covered in snow. <https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/31dikepzxdv2f9k9oaeqt/h?dl=0&rlkey=hixlk2o8p…> Ken KA6KEN
