by Marvin Johnston 29 Jan '20

29 Jan '20

For those of you who don't know, the Yuma Hamfest is the site of the 2020 ARRL SW Division Convention. Complete information is available at: http://www.yumahamfest.org/ The dates are Friday - Sunday, Feb 14-16 with the Fairgrounds opening on Thursday, Feb 13 at 2:00PM for setup and camping locations. Camping is available on the Fairgrounds. As usual, I'll be there both selling and putting on the Antenna Clinic. Helping out as usual will be Joe Corones and Joe Laughlin from San Diego. This year, we'll also be joined by Jerry Boyd, WB8FWK. Jerry is our new ARRL US ARDF Coordinator who is taking the place of Joe Moell, K0OV, who retired from that position last year. Also for anyone attending and wants to join us for our T-hunting dinner on Friday night, let me know so I can add you to the list and send the restaurant time and location information. Thanks! Marvin, KE6HTS

Jay Thanks for catching that. Those were my typos. Indeed he needs a 572B. I'm changing the email subject now going forward to avoid further confusion.

529B Tube
by Levi C. Maaia - K6LCM 10 Jan '20

10 Jan '20

Hello SBARC, As some of you know, I have a connection to a radio club in Havana after visiting Cuba twice in 2014-15. Hams in Cuba have very limited access to equipment, supplies and tools but they make do amazingly well with what they can access. However, some things cannot be easily improvised, and vacuum tubes are one such commodity. My friend Joel CO2YQ is in need of a 527B tube. Here's what he said (translated): "I need to find out with the colleagues of the Santa Barbara Club, if someone has a 572B valve that I am not using and can donate it to me, my linear is somewhat old a FL2000B and the valves it has are already very low emission." If anyone has a 527B that they would be willing to contribute, please let me know and I will bring it down to Joel's shack. I will be headed to Havana at the end of the month (Jan 23-30) for a documentary film scout and I could bring it then. You can read more about my initial contact with Joel and visiting his station in QST: https://levi.maaia.com/qst-journal-of-the-arrl-qsl-from-cuba/ 73 K6LCM

(fwd) Digital Under Attack

New York University Petition for FCC Declaratory Ruling As many of you know, New York University has, for some time now, attempted to shut down the Winlink system, largely through the instrumentation of its "NYU Wireless" advocacy organization, which normally represents large commercial telecommunications common carriers. In their attempts to eliminate Winlink, NYU has submitted a Petition for Declaratory Ruling to the FCC, which places numerous digital modes and networks at risk.. · Modes affected include, but are not necessarily limited to; PACTOR, WINMOR, VARA, NBEMS...and others. · Activities affected include public service/emergency communications, traffic handling, and experimentation. · Organizations affected include RRI (Digital Traffic Network), NTS, ARES, RACES, AUXCOMM, etc. This is where you come in! We respectfully ask that all traffic handlers and those involved in public service communications file comments in support of the RRI and ARSF filings. This is easily done by following these simple instructions: · Go to the FCC Electronic Comment Filing Service at: https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings/express · Enter "16-239" ("Amateur Baud Rate") in the "Proceedings Field." · Complete the minimum personal contact information (name, address, email). · Enter your comment in support of the Radio Relay International and Amateur Radio Safety Foundation responses to the NYU Petition. A typical comment might be as simple as: "After reviewing the claims contained within the New York University Petition for Declaratory Ruling, it is my opinion that their case lacks merit. I agree with the responses filed by the Amateur Radio Safety Foundation and Radio Relay International and therefore recommend that the NYU Petition for Declaratory Ruling be dismissed with prejudice..........." One should: · Use his own words. · Remember that comments will not be read by radio amateurs or technical people. · Avoid the use of technical jargon and instead, stress factors such as the importance of these digital modes to public service communications. · Point out the negative impacts of the NYU petition on public service and emergency communications. · Point out the fact that you agree with RRI and ARSF in that dynamic compression is not encryption. · Point out the fact that the NYU petition is regressive and unnecessary. · State that you have witnessed no national security issues or other significant abuses of these digital modes. · Be logical, concise and unemotional in your comments. · Exercise decorum and courtesy at all times. Remember that your tone will reflect on the Amateur Radio Service and the organizations you support. You will need to act by December 15. Do not let New York University dictate the scope of our privileges and activities within the Amateur Radio Service! Take the time to file comments.
