Reminder: Next ARDF this Saturday near Santa Barbara
by Marvin Johnston 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

If you're planning on building an antenna and/or attenuator at the event this coming Saturday at Lake Los Carneros Park in Goleta, be sure to send an e-mail to marvin(a)west.net, so your kits will be waiting for you. Kitbuilding and transmitter hunting start promptly at 9:30 AM. Hunters may start out on the courses at any time until 1 PM. Courses close at 2:30 PM. Besides some easy fox transmitters just to help you learn and test your equipment, there will be a beginner-level international-rules course. The site area is slightly less than 140 acres. It is relatively flat, making it a good site for foxtailers of all skill levels. Full-color orienteering maps will be available. Bring any 2-meter RDF "sniffing" gear you have. If you don't have any, just bring your handi-talkie or scanner and come early for the building session. If you can't do that, come anyway, because a limited number of RDF sets will be available for loan. Also be sure to bring anything you'll need while going after those radio foxes, such as munchies, bottled water and sunscreen. Bring your own compass, protractor and pencil if you plan to use them for map marking. Make sure that all batteries are fresh. 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. The building session and hunt start will be in the picnic area, just east of the railroad depot. For your GPS navigation system, the address is 300 North Los Carneros Road, Goleta, CA, 34.44416N, 119.85446W. A map to the site is at www.homingin.com Ham radio talk-in is on the K6TZ repeater, 146.79(-) PL 131.8 73, Joe Moell K0OV

I have about 890 high heat dissipation finned aluminum heatsinks for sale. These heatsinks were custom made for a power supply I was developing when I had to abandon the design. These heatsinks are 5.6 inches long and 1.4 inches wide and 1.75 inches tall. I would like to sell these as a lot. Two years ago I paid $8.50 each + a $1200 one time tooling charge for them. They are still in original package as received.
