Stumbled across this page on LiFePO4 batteries. Very comprehensive and a good read. If you're thinking of getting into LiFePO4 batteries, this article touches all the points. https://www.solacity.com/how-to-keep-lifepo4-lithium-ion-batteries-happy/ Dave AI6VX

Does anyone remember who owns a spark gap transmitter?
by Dave Schmidt 17 Sep '23

Keith W6KME (CVARC and The Bored Net) asked me if I knew who in the SB club had a spark gap transmitter that was used in a presentation to CVARC in the past. Does anyone remember who might have it and their contact info I can send to Keith? He says that CVARC is looking for another possible presentation. Dave AI6VX

Eric, I *sometimes* have to do that from my email client as well, but my email client is very old and unsupported, so those kinds of nuances are expected. With my email client, it appears that it depends if I click on Reply or Reply-All *and* whether the original sender included a Reply-To header in their email (and probably other variables that I didn't stumble across in my 10-minutes of testing). I found the below two links that discuss this a little; they may interest you. <https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message…> <https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/handlers/d…> Ken --On Sunday, September 10, 2023 7:00 PM -0700 Eric <kg6wxc.kg6wxc-mail(a)meshmail.org> wrote: > > Weird, I had to change the address I am replying to so that it went to the list. > > Not sure if that is me or the list. > > > > On 9/10/23 18:47, Dave Schmidt wrote: > > > Hello back at you!

News on a linked repeater in Ventura/Santa Paula. This ties into the 145.160 on Santa Ynez Peak. dave AI6VX ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Strauss, Paul - WD6EBY via groups.io <pgstrauss=verizon.net(a)groups.io> Date: Fri, Sep 8, 2023 at 4:44 PM Subject: [vc-acs] PVARC linked 2Mtn repeater on South Mtn To: <main(a)vc-acs.groups.io> Hello All, I am happy to announce the addition of a new South Mountain 2Mtr repeater to the PVARC linked repeater network. Location: South Mountain Output Frequency: 146.670 PL 127.3 Input Frequency: 146.070 PL 127.3 This 2Mtr repeater provides excellent coverage along a good portion of Hwy 126. The system is also performing very well into Balcom Canyon and along Hwy 118 from Saticoy to Moorpark. This system should provide a good supplement to the linked 145.200 Sulphur Mountain repeater. I want to thank Steve Leong KC6IJM for his support on this project. I would appreciate any comments on the repeaters performance. Thank you for your time. Paul Strauss WD6EBY pgstrauss(a)verizon.net
