FW: [Launch Alert] Launch on Schedule
by rod＠sbatv.org 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

I hope you all can enjoy this huge rocket launch, scheduled today for 1:08pm. I hope to capture some video from the ground in Santa Barbara. If I do, I'll probably put it on ATV next Tuesday night at 8:30pm, streamed at www.batc.tv, ATV Repeaters, WB9KMO-ATN. - Rod, WB9KMO -----Original Message----- From: Launch Alert [mailto:launch-alert@mailman.qth.net] Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2011 5:05 AM To: Launch Alert Subject: [Launch Alert] Launch on Schedule LAUNCH ALERT Brian Webb Ventura County, California launch-alert-editor(a)earthlink.net www.spacearchive.info 2011 January 20 (Thursday) 05:01 PST ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LAUNCH ON SCHEDULE Today's first-ever launch of a Delta IV Heavy booster from Vandenberg Air Force Base appears to be on schedule. The Delta is slated to lift-off from Space Launch Complex 6 (SLC-6) at south Vandenberg at 1:08 p.m. Following liftoff, the rocket will rise vertically for several seconds. It will then slowly pitch over and probably head southward over the ocean. Plans call for the rocket to deliver a classified payload into orbit for the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office. Late yesterday afternoon the United Launch Alliance, the launch services provider, issued the following launch update: " ... it was a quiet day of launch processing at SLC-6 today so we are a "GO" for tomorrow. The weather forecast is still 90 percent acceptable for launch. ... High pressure dominates California bringing fair weather and warmer temperatures. Winds for MST roll will be out of the east 12-18 gusting to 25 kts. Winds at SLC-6 at T-0 will be out of the northwest at 10-15 kts. Upper-level winds will max out at 60 kts at 40,000 ft from the north. There are no predicted space weather events for T-0." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RESOURCES For additional information related to today's Delta IV Heavy launch, go to the following locations: Delta IV Heavy www.boeing.com/defense-space/space/delta/delta4/delta4.htm www.youtube.com/watch?v=XB5_j1RYMYg Payload The payload is classified, but here's a link to the government agency responsible for the payload: www.nro.mil Launch Pad www.spaceflightnow.com/delta/d352/history/ Launch Viewing www.spacearchive.info/vafbview.htm Photographing Launches www.spacearchive.info/vafbphoto.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LAUNCH ALERT WEB PAGE For information about this newsletter, including how to: - Subscribe, unsubscribe, or change addresses - Make a donation Point your browser to www.spacearchive.info/newsletter.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 2011, Brian Webb.

Activities on Saturday and Sunday (1/29 & 1/30)...
by rod＠sbatv.org 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

Greeting to all, TRW SWAPMEET & PALM SPRINGS HAMFEST - Saturday 1/29 at about 6am (not tomorrow, but the following Saturday) , I'll be driving to the TRW Swapmeet and possibly on to the Palm Springs Hamfest. I can carry several people in my van, so let me know if you'd like to drive along. The agenda (whether or not to go to the Hamfest or other stops along the way) and the time to return will be determined by those who want to go. ATV REPEATER WORKGROUP - Sunday, 1/30 from 2pm to about 6pm, I'll be taking a crew of volunteers to the KTYD transmitter site on Gibraltar Road to work on the ATV Repeater. There are several things to do for all skill levels. We'll move a rack, install coax and antennas, relocate cameras, make adjustments and set up a computer with Ham WiFi links. You can help make the repeater work better, learn in the process and get a guided tour of the facilities. If you want to participate in either of these activities or just have questions about what we're doing, send me an email at wb9kmo(a)sbarc.org. Join in the fun, Rod Fritz, WB9KMO

14 Jan '11

To: SBARC Membership From: Bill Talanian, W1UUQ, Trustee K6TZ Subject: SBARC W6R operations SBARC has authorization to operate W6R as a Special Event station from 4 -thru- 7 Feb. There are open periods when you may be able to operate W6R from your home or mobile station. If you have a desire to operate individually as W6R then book your operation with the Trustee. Operational guidelines for individual mobile or fixed operation as W6R under your amateur radio license are as follows: 1. You must be an SBARC member. 2. Operational periods will be coordinated and booked through the Trustee at 805-964-7432. 3. Operations will be limited to your individual license class level. 4. No simultaneous operations will be permitted (more than one station at any period). 5. An accurate log must be kept and turned into the Trustee for QSL card service (SASE only). Remember to check-in at the Club web site often as Michael Reynolds, NO6O, will be posting the latest information as it becomes available. All booked operational periods will be posted on the Club web site <www.sbarc.org> and other amateur radio outlets. Keep in mind that N6R will be operational as the "Reagan Library" at Simi Valley while W6R will be operational as the "Reagan Ranch" (Rancho del Cielo). Please remember this is not a contest so take the time to accommodate as many stations as you can by explaining what the event is about and the venues. Maybe even become acquainted with the 40th President by reading Wikipedia and life at Rancho del Cielo <http://www.yaf.org/ranchodelcielo.aspx>. Lastly, this is the first time this Club has participated in a wide scale special event of this type. Have fun and become part of history on this centennial event. cc: Peter Heins, N6ZE, Ventura Co.

[Sbarc-list] ARRL Sanctioned Palm Springs Hamfest 2011** January, 29, 2011**
by DesertRAT Club 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

*FINAL reminder mark it on your Calendar **ARRL Sanctioned Palm Springs Hamfest January 29, 2011* The air waves are A-BUZZ with talk of ARRL's sanctioned Desert RATS first event of the year! Our little ARRL Sanctioned Hamfest has in it's second year become the third largest ARRL Sanctioned Event in California, rivalling any Hamfest across the Western States! We anticipate an attendance of around 800! It's unique low cost 'one day' format has turned on it's ear the way Hamfests in California will be heading 'back to the future' are some predictions made . Well, the future is here in Palm Springs on January 29th. To quote attending AMSAT Representative Clint Bradford at the end of last years event: >Your Hamfest is causing many to think about the future of the 2- and 3-day conventions in our region. I mean, >you had most of what hams want at such a >gathering - and I didn't have to pay a parking fee, didn't have to pay >admission, was charged only five bucks for a lunch and only a buck for coffee ... "Compare that to, say, >PACIFICON coming up in October. >It will cost $500 for me to drive up there and stay in their hotel for two days. >Did you see what SANDARC is charging for their events? $23 for a breakfast $26 for lunch $43 bucks for dinner. $15-20 to merely walk in the door. Rooms are $135+ a night ..." (Clint will be doing satellite contact DEMOS throughout the Day) Plus the vendors have to pay about $500 to start! At Palm Springs it's free! Our gift to the Ham Community! So if you are within 4 hour driving range of Palm Springs for the price of gas + a $10 dollar bill you can .... pay your entry fee, get a raffle ticket, and a meal. Where else could you go for a full day of fun these days with only a single $10 bill? (Also see Forum site below for Hotel accommodations if you want to make a holiday out of it in warm Palm Springs!) Sure we want you to buy more raffle tickets, so maybe bring an extra $20 bill. Yes, we will have raffle draws hourly, maybe half hourly, as donations keep rolling in. By the way, we don't charge vendors to attend including Swap Meet sellers. Pass the word around, the more that attend the merrier. It will be a veritable Shopping Mall for Hams as every major product line of radios will be there for sale at vendors such as HRO which deal in all the major Ham radios available plus other related Ham gear. HamCity (a Costco style Ham store with too many products to mention), DX Store where you can buy Icom and Heil products plus more. (warranted Icom products that were manufactured can be bought at a fraction of the cost of new boxed ICOM radios), RF Stuff has any type of coax connector you could dream of plus coax, antennas ...again more stuff than I have room to mention. Numerous antenna companies. I could go on but the article would be so long your mailbox would not accept the file size. Here instead is a partial list of vendors and some activities: ** if you play an instrument or sing or have a small band come on down and join in the JAMFEST or play solo at our lounge style out door venue call Peter 760-318-0186 to book your time or just show up AMSAT- Clint Bradford -DEMO ARES ARRL- Meet all the Guys from our Division!
