ATV Movie of the Week - Taking Requests...
by Rod Fritz 08 May '10

08 May '10

SBARC Members and Friends, By now, you're aware that for the last month or so, I've been putting a "movie" a week on the WWW.BATC.TV Film Archive web page for general viewing. Take a look if you haven't. There are several out there. I've focused on recent videos, but it's time to branch out. What would you like to see? I have raw video of about the last five years of SBARC Meeting presentations, plus several other events. I can often come up with older video if it exists (do you have any?). It is practical for me to put together a video slideshow from any collection of stills I can get my hands on. So. I'm taking requests. I'll try to accommodate anything you want. The request line is open. Rod Fritz, WB9KMO

JOTA 2010 -- Jamboree-on-the-Air
by Darryl Widman 08 May '10

08 May '10

CQ JOTA FROM NORTHAMPTON Of course you remember your Semaphore Code, right? You mean you haven't kept up your practicing? Shame! Nowadays, Scouts can communicate with each other over Amateur Radio. Indeed, some of them have earned their licenses. However, most have yet to do that. All they need is a kindly ham to invite a couple of them over to the shack to watch over his shoulder and see how it's done. When the time is right, the OM can invite them to come speak into his microphone and feel the magic. Imagine, talking with someone hundreds or even thousands of miles away and all with no wires -- no phone lines or cell phones! This is what we will be doing again this year as we invite a whole bunch of Scouts (Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts) to join us as we put on yet another Jamboree-on-the-Air from that neat spot just over the hill -- Rancho Alegre, the Scout Ranch of the Los Padres Council of the Boy Scouts of America. This event is held internationally each year on the third weekend of October. This year it will be on October 16 and 17. Some of us will even go the evening before that and get things set up. Camping out is really fun in the brisk autumn air. As you see, last year's patch for the boys' shirts was very handsome. You can bet that this year's patch will be also. This is just a heads-up to let you know that you are all wanted and needed as there are hundreds of Scouts in the council who will be wanting to attend this event. We will need to give the boys guidance and counseling as they will be involved with activities they have never heard of before. There will be HF communications, Amateur Television, Morse Code oscillator construction, Morse Code key construction, AMSAT communications and, of course, Transmitter Hunting. Some of us will find ourselves in the Radio Merit Badge Counselor position. What a wonderful weekend we will all have together. Please put the date on your calendar and plan on participating in a very gratifying activity. Helping our youth to discover new things and open their minds to help prepare them for their futures will make you feel nice and warm all over. It happens every year. Those who helped in previous years know what I am talking about. Please contact me by any means and tell me that you want to help and I will put your name on my list of good guys. Thank you, Darryl Widman, KF6DI JOTA Chairman 2010 805-969-2326 kf6di(a)sbarc.org ____________________________________________________________ Penny Stock Jumping 2000% Sign up to the #1 voted penny stock newsletter for free today! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/4be4e77a8506b388a8bst06duc

A not so shining example
by Jay Hennigan 27 Apr '10

This guy... http://tinyurl.com/27efgvb is a perfect example of what happens when amateur radio emergency volunteers take themselves way too seriously. I for one am glad that SBARC turned off of that road a few years ago. -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Engineering - jay(a)impulse.net Impulse Internet Service - http://www.impulse.net/ Your local telephone and internet company - 805 884-6323 - WB6RDV

County Search & Rescue team not going anywhere Jennifer Beyer, Bryon Bass, Nelson Trichler April 25, 2010 10:44 AM A recent letter to the editor suggested the county is discontinuing the Santa Barbara County Search and Rescue Department. There are no plans to discontinue the Search and Rescue Team or the service it offers. Search and Rescue is an all-volunteer, public-service nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation providing search and rescue services, through the county Sheriff's Department, since the early 1960s. Each year, team members contribute thousands of unpaid hours to train, recertify, maintain and update equipment, address team administrative matters, and, of course, respond to emergency calls. Our ranks are filled with accountants, financial portfolio managers, construction workers, business owners, physical rehabilitation specialists, human resources managers, real estate agents, information technology specialists, consultants, field scientists, and even off-duty police, paramedics, firefighters and EMTs, each donating their time and experience to the community. The team has no paid staff members; members are required to provide personal equipment, annually re-qualify in the team's technical skills, maintain current medical certifications (most members are EMTs), and pay annual membership dues. As a member of the Mountain Rescue Association, the team annually recertifies in advanced search-and-rescue techniques such as snow rescue, high-angle rope rescue, lost subject search, tracking, and wilderness first responder operations. The team operates 15 rescue vehicles, including specialty vehicles such as a dedicated command post and an ex-military Humvee, all modified for search and rescue operations. The team has two California Rescue Dog Association certified dogs that conduct trailing and cadaver search operations. Annual team trainings include helicopter search and rescue operations with county and state agencies, a swift-water rescue technician course, and an Emergency Vehicle Operations Course (EVOC). Team members also have trained emergency response units outside the U.S. in high-angle rope rescue operations. In 2009, Santa Barbara County Search and Rescue ranked highest among all California-based search and rescue teams, responding to 126 calls for service. The team regularly responds with other Santa Barbara County emergency service units including fire departments, AMR, and the Sheriff's Department. Search and Rescue annually saves Santa Barbara County hundreds of thousands of dollars through unpaid professional efforts. While the county Sheriff's Department provides a small annual budget, mostly for gas and maintenance, private citizens and charitable organizations contribute all other team funding. Under our motto of "So others may live," we continue to proudly serve our community by donating our time, skill and experience to the residents and visitors of Santa Barbara County. Those interested in being part of our dedicated team, please visit our website at www.sbcsar.org. The authors are all part of the Santa Barbara County Search and Rescue Department team.

http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/k9ya_telegraph Hi All, Above is the link for this newsletter. I have found it one of the best. it is not only about CW; it has many articles about digital modes, and many other subjects close to the ham radio ops heart. You can probably find a copy on the Internet at the K9YA website. Take a look at it and see if it appeals to you, as it does to me. Have a wonderful weekend! Alan...N6HPO
