California club to host USA ARDF Championships
by Marvin Johnston 28 Nov '03

28 Nov '03

*************** The ARRL Letter Vol. 22, No. 47 November 28, 2003 *************** ==>SANTA BARBARA CLUB TO HOST USA ARDF CHAMPIONSHIPS The Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club will host the 2004 USA Amateur Radio Direction Finding (ARDF) Championships, ARRL ARDF Coordinator Joe Moell, K0OV, announced this week. Moell said the fourth annual USA ARDF event will be held next June in California. "Radio-orienteers from all over the country plus visitors from abroad are expected to attend," Moell said. "The competitive courses are open to anyone of any age from any country, with or without an Amateur Radio license." Medals will be awarded in five age categories for male competitors and four for female competitors, in accordance with International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) rules. The competition, which will include both 80-meter and 2-meter events, gets under way June 16. After a day for practice and alignment sessions and opening ceremonies the full-length 2-meter competition will take place June 18. The 80-meter competition will take place the next day, followed by closing ceremonies. Moell says the USA Championships will occur just in time for final selection of ARDF Team USA 2004 members. Those chosen for Team USA will travel to the Czech Republic for the 12th ARDF World Championships, September 7-12. "Team positions will be filled based on performances in the 2004 events in California and the 2003 events in Ohio," he explained. One of North America's ARDF pioneers, Marvin Johnston, KE6HTS, will serve as general chair for the 2004 USA Championships. Johnston was a member of USA's first team to the 1998 ARDF World Championships held in Hungary and he won medals at the last two USA ARDF Championships. The hosting SBARC also "has an abundance of ARDF talent," Moell said. That includes club president Jay Hennigan, WB6RDV, who took gold in his age category on both 80 and 2 meters in this year's USA Championships in Cincinnati. Other SBARC medal winners include Scott Moore, KF6IKO, who won bronze on 80 and 2 meters in Cincinnati. SBARC will collaborate with the Los Angeles Orienteering Club (LAOC) to prepare maps and set up the start/finish areas for the competition. An official Web site for the 2004 Championships is under construction. It will contain complete rules and technical details, including competition frequencies, plus registration and lodging information. Information about transmitter hunting and US ARDF activities is available on Moell's Homing In Web site <http://www.homingin.com>.

Traffic Management Class
by Lou Dartanner 28 Oct '03

28 Oct '03

Folks, We have arranged for Deputy Brad Smith of the County Sheriff's Department to give us a short class on traffic management and safety. This will cover basic safety issues when you have to pull off the road (on fire watch for example), set up a fixed post (fire watch or event communications), set up barricades (parades), and manage and direct traffic safely. While it is NOT our responsibility to direct traffic or assist with traffic control, there are times when accidents happen and we are in a position to help. There are also time when we want to avoid becoming a hazard and causing an accident. This class is meant to give you basic safety information to allow you to help mitigate the danger until the professionals arrive -- not unlike first aid. This class is for ARES members and SBARC members who participate in event communications activities. it will be held on Monday, November 17th, at 7 p.m. in the County Health Services Auditorium. If you would like to attend this class, please e-mail me to make a reservation for the class. 73, Lou

Kenwood TH-F6A Problem
by Paul Cronshaw, D.C. 22 Oct '03

22 Oct '03

My Kenwood has just started acting up. Here are the symptoms: When I key down, the TX meter appears briefly and then it quites. Followed by intermittent beeps. I was unable to check into the Net at 9 PM tonight due to this problem. I have done a full reset and problem still persists. Any ideas for a cure? Paul Cronshaw KF6TRT

Gus Gustafson, SK

Follows is an e-mail I received from Fred Davison, N6ZV, regarding the passing of S. M. "Gus" Gustafson. Fred Davison wrote: > > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: Gus SK > From: "S. M. Gustafson" <avionham(a)juno.com> > To: fdavison(a)envenergy.com > > I'm so sorry to have to tell you, Fred, but on Monday afternoon, 10/13, a heart attack took Gus. It was so quick, and he never regained consciousness. He'd been walking and talking, visiting with a friend we "happened" to meet at a rest stop in Osceola, Iowa. God's timing is perfect. Gus is at peace. And still seems to be right here with me.... > > We have SkyMed insurance, and they worked with the hospital back there and mortuaries (one in Osceola) to take care of everything. Gus's body is at Magner Mahony Funeral Home right now, and we hope to have a memorial service this weekend sometime, and I hope it can be at our church, First Christian, on Battles Rd. > > I got back to Santa Maria last night, met by a son and daughter. The car will be driven back by a bonded driver. > > God is merciful and loving, > > Thank you for being a friend, Fred. Would you please do whatever is necessary to pass on the information? I left messages on Ernie Sloane's and Cliff Rush's answering machines, but can't do more right now. I don't know who ought to have Gus registered (is that the word?) as a Silent Key, but I'd sure appreciate someone's taking that responsibility for me. > > blessings, > Janie Gustafson

SBARC Meeting
by Marvin Johnston 15 Oct '03

15 Oct '03

October Meeting of Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club October 17 - Emergency Services Night: Hospital Disaster Support Communications System Speaker - April Moell, WA6OPS Meeting Starts - 7:30 PM Location: Goleta Union Schools Admin. Board Room 401 N. Fairview Ave., Goleta The Hospital Disaster Support Communications System of Orange County has been in existance for 23 years and has responded to 75 emergencies in support of 35 hospitals. Lots has been learned along the way regarding activation procedures, hospital interface, and training etc. This presentation will offer case studies of several emergencies (e.g. Placentia train collison; Laguna Fire) to which HDSCS has responded and highlight how the ARES structure, activation procedures and specialized training led to accomplishing the mission of backing up communications critical to patient care. With experience both as an Amateur Radio operator and hospital employee, April Moell found it natural to combine the two in HDSCS. She passed her first ham operator test in 1976 and now holds an Advanced Class license. As a Registered Occupational Therapist, April served for 17 years as Director of Occupational and Recreational Therapies at St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton, CA. While there, she originated HDSCS. She also founded the Rehab Radio program, which used Amateur Radio communications as a therapy tool with patients recovering from stroke, head injury, and spinal cord injury. In addition, she initiated the North Pole Network, which brings joy to hospital patients of all ages at Christmas time. If you are planning on attending dinner with the speaker, please let Marvin KE6HTS (marvin(a)rain.org) know so we can make reservations. The dinner will be held at Cody's Restaurant at 5:30pm. Cody's is located in the shopping center at the corner of Hollister Ave and Turnpike Rd.
