Hi Scott, Let me pass this along and see if someone can help you. Thanks for writing. Darryl Widman, KF6DI Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott McFerran To: sbarc(a)sbarc.org Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2014 7:13 AM Subject: looking for information re proper use of radio/repeaters Hi, My name is Scott McFerran and I live in Santa Ynez. I recently purchased 2 Motorola Talkabout 2way radios, model MS355R. The radios include a GMRS duplex channel feature which I would like to use in a proper manner. Is there a person in your club that would be willing to help me understand this feature and use it properly? Thanks! Scott McFerran 619-818-3596 cell

[ardf-socal] Next ARDF at Topanga State Park 1/25/14
by Marvin Johnston 02 Jan '14

02 Jan '14

The next southern California on-foot transmitter hunting session will be at Topanga State Park on Saturday, January 25, 2014. There will be entry-level two-meter "fox" transmitters, set by Joe Moell K0OV and a 5-fox two-meter international-rules course, set by Marvin Johnston KE6HTS. One or two optional 80-meter fox transmitters may also be on the air. If you have receivers, scanners, directional antennas, attenuators, or other equipment suitable for on-foot RDF, be sure to bring it. Make sure all batteries are fresh. A limited amount of RDF gear will be available for loan. For those who want to build RDF gear for use with their own two-meter hand-held radios or scanners, Marvin will have kits for measuring-tape yagis and active attenuators. There will be tools and soldering stations for building. If you're not an electronic technician, don't worry because there will be experts to help you. Send e-mail to Marvin (marvin(a)west.net) to pre-register and get more information about equipment. The building session will only take place if there are sufficient advance registrations. If you already have equipment and just want to hunt transmitters, you don't need to pre-register -- just show up. If it takes place, the building session will start at 9:30 AM. Please be prompt. Beginner transmitters will be on the air at that time. The main 5-fox hunt will start about 10:30 AM. Hunters may start the courses at any time until 1 PM. Courses close at 3 PM. For the advanced 2-meter course, electronic scoring will be used. If you have an "e-stick," be sure to bring it. An optional $5 donation is requested for the advanced course to cover expenses related to the use of Los Angeles Orienteering Club's e-punch equipment and maps. The beginner course and the 80-meter transmitter hunt are free of charge and e-punch is not required for them. Trails are primitive in some areas of the park, so wear sturdy shoes. All ages are welcome, but young children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Dogs are not allowed on the park trails, fire roads, or in the back country. Topanga State Park is in the Santa Monica Mountains. From Highway 101 in Woodland Hills, go south on Topanga Canyon Boulevard (Highway 27) about 8 miles. From Pacific Coast Highway, go north on Topanga Canyon Boulevard to just past Old Topanga Canyon Road. Either way, watch for a "Topanga State Park" sign and turn east onto Entrada Road. (This is a dangerous corner.) Go about a mile, bearing left at the fork. We will gather at the end of the parking lot in the shaded picnic area. Look for the orange and white orienteering flag. Talk-in is on 146.52 MHz simplex. The state day-use fee for entry and parking is $10 per vehicle. A map showing the site location is at www.homingin.com. If moderate-to-heavy rain is forecasted, check that site on Friday 1/24 for possible cancellation. 73, Joe Moell K0OV

Reminder of ARDF at Lake Los Carneros this Saturday
by Marvin Johnston 13 Dec '13

13 Dec '13

Hi all, Normally I wouldn't put on two events this close together at the same venue. But I am unwilling to travel during the holidays :). The real reason is a woman I met at Bonelli last month is interested in joining the US ARDF team. I told her if she was serious, I'd do my best to help get her ready for the World ARDF Championships. (Not a problem being on the US ARDF team if she is good enough as the women's categories all have vacancies.) So there will be training on both 2M and 80M. The primary training on 2M will be the strategy for finding all the transmitter locations, and visit them in the fastest order. The 80M training will be done using a FoxOring course... a circle is shown on the map for each transmitter. The object is to orienteer to each circle (where the transmitter can be heard) and then find the punch at the transmitter location. Then onto the next. We will also have some practice 2M transmitters on close to the start area, and possibly a short 3 transmitter course to get people used to going to one transmitter while trangulating the location where the other transmitters are located. We will probably end around 2PM - 3PM (depends on when everyone is done,) pick up the transmitters, and meet over at Cody's Restaurant for an early dinner where we can talk about the courses. ********** The next southern California ARDF event will be Saturday, December 14 at Lake Los Carneros Park in Goleta. Besides some easy fox transmitters to help you learn and test your equipment, there will be a international-rules course on the two-meter band. There will also be a foxoring course on the 80 meter band. You can try any of the courses as your available time allows. An optional 80-meter fox transmitter may also be on the air. If you have receivers, scanners, directional antennas, attenuators, or other equipment suitable for on-foot RDF, be sure to bring it. Make sure all batteries are fresh. A limited amount of RDF gear will be available for loan. Transmitter hunting begins about 10:00 AM. Hunters may start the courses at any time until 1 PM. Courses close at 3 PM. There is no charge for participation. Directions to Lake Los Carneros: From US 101 about 8 miles west of downtown Santa Barbara, take the Los Carneros Road exit, head north about 1/4 mile and turn right into the Stow House parking lot. There should be plenty of free parking. Look for the orange-and-white orienteering flag. Ham radio talk-in is on the WB6OBB repeater, 147.000(+) PL 131.8. 73, Joe Moell K0OV
