Red Cross Parking
by Brian Milburn - K6BPM 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

I just got word that the parking lot is open for full use at the Red Cross. HOWEVER, they are doing tree trimming tomorrow, Saturday Feb 17, so please DO NOT park back by the generator area or the 2 spaces where the Rover used to be parked, or the area by the dumpsters. The tree trimmers need access. Thanks! -- Brian - K6BPM

Re: [Sbarc-list] Hawaii’s false incoming middle alert

The positive publicity this piece creates for the Amateur radio community is undeniable. However if there ever is an actual nuclear detonation, we all know that the associated EMP will cause many of us to be in the same situation as the useless cellphones. > On Feb 9, 2018, at 12:00 PM, <sbarc-list-request(a)lists.netlojix.com> <sbarc-list-request(a)lists.netlojix.com> wrote: > > Send SBARC-list mailing list submissions to > sbarc-list(a)lists.netlojix.com > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Flists.netl… > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > sbarc-list-request(a)lists.netlojix.com > > You can reach the person managing the list at > sbarc-list-owner(a)lists.netlojix.com > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of SBARC-list digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Santa Ynez Peak today
by Bill Talanian 02 Feb '18

02 Feb '18

Folks: After fire, flood, and even a earthquake Matt Lechliter finally got back to Santa Ynez Peak thru the "mud zone" today from Oxnard. I teamed up with Matt and Chris Arnoult and was sure glad that I did not try this run during the rain storm. There was ample evidence of wash out's with heavy mud debris that could easily force a vehicle off the road. First stop would be a shear 1000 ft drop in an area we call the Bolivian Mile. Matt installed the repaired final amplifier in the 146.18 repeater which previously was motor-boating. Few people realized the 145.18 repeater was operating for many weeks with only the Exciter running 150 milliwatts which was still heard by most people. The repeater is now back to 25 watts along with its partner repeater on 145.16 which is also running 25 watts. There is much to compare here with two co-located systems but with _different an__te__nna patterns._ In addition Matt went through the controller programming sequence to see if it helps get rid of the annoying M-A-C-R-O 9 voice response. Will watch this for a while and see if this fix works. I believe it is safe to say that the 145.16 system is now 100% fully operational between Santa Ynez Peak and the WD6EBY repeater (145.20/144.60 127.3 PL) at Sulphur Mountain in Ventura County. This is intended to be a full time linked system with no buttons to push. Our goal is a Tri-County VHF repeater system covering the most populated areas. We are working on securing the final leg to SLO County. Meanwhile, Have Fun and let OBB know how both systems are working with your associates in tough RF areas. Bill Talanian

Club Station Parking Lot Closed This Weekend
by Brian Milburn - K6BPM 26 Jan '18

26 Jan '18

Hi All, I just received an email from the Red Cross stating that the parking lot will be closed to all non Red Cross traffic tomorrow, Saturday January 27, 2018. They are still working on recovering from the fire and mudslide/flood events and have response and delivery vehicles coming and going. I don’t know if I will go down there tomorrow or not because there aren’t many other places to park around there and turnout will probably be very light. If you are planning on going to the shack tomorrow, it might be a good idea to call on the radio first to make sure someone’s there. -- Brian - K6BPM

Although it is always fun to see everyone at those events, believe me, I'm a lot happier to still be working with so many of them. Marcella and I came out to San Miguel today for one final tour.? Even though I had to start the new position before the end of the month, I had previously been scheduled out here for one more week to wrap up a few projects and pack up what has been our home for 25 years.?

Lunar Eclipse on Jan. 31
by Levi C. Maaia, K6LCM 24 Jan '18

24 Jan '18

For those of you who get up early (or stay up late), the second full Moon of January will pass through Earth's shadow, producing a rare "Blue Moon Lunar Eclipse." The Moon won't look blue, however. Researchers are predicting a bright orange eclipse--a forecast based on studies of recent volcanic activity. The partial eclipse will begin at 03:48 PST and totality will be from 04:52 - 06:08. The partial eclipse ends at 07:11. If you don’t want to be up too early, assuming there is no fog, you might get the best views of the final partial phases between 06:15 - 06:45. LCM Levi C.
