A not so shining example
by Jay Hennigan 26 Apr '10

26 Apr '10

This guy... http://tinyurl.com/27efgvb is a perfect example of what happens when amateur radio emergency volunteers take themselves way too seriously. I for one am glad that SBARC turned off of that road a few years ago. -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Engineering - jay(a)impulse.net Impulse Internet Service - http://www.impulse.net/ Your local telephone and internet company - 805 884-6323 - WB6RDV

County Search & Rescue team not going anywhere Jennifer Beyer, Bryon Bass, Nelson Trichler April 25, 2010 10:44 AM A recent letter to the editor suggested the county is discontinuing the Santa Barbara County Search and Rescue Department. There are no plans to discontinue the Search and Rescue Team or the service it offers. Search and Rescue is an all-volunteer, public-service nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation providing search and rescue services, through the county Sheriff's Department, since the early 1960s. Each year, team members contribute thousands of unpaid hours to train, recertify, maintain and update equipment, address team administrative matters, and, of course, respond to emergency calls. Our ranks are filled with accountants, financial portfolio managers, construction workers, business owners, physical rehabilitation specialists, human resources managers, real estate agents, information technology specialists, consultants, field scientists, and even off-duty police, paramedics, firefighters and EMTs, each donating their time and experience to the community. The team has no paid staff members; members are required to provide personal equipment, annually re-qualify in the team's technical skills, maintain current medical certifications (most members are EMTs), and pay annual membership dues. As a member of the Mountain Rescue Association, the team annually recertifies in advanced search-and-rescue techniques such as snow rescue, high-angle rope rescue, lost subject search, tracking, and wilderness first responder operations. The team operates 15 rescue vehicles, including specialty vehicles such as a dedicated command post and an ex-military Humvee, all modified for search and rescue operations. The team has two California Rescue Dog Association certified dogs that conduct trailing and cadaver search operations. Annual team trainings include helicopter search and rescue operations with county and state agencies, a swift-water rescue technician course, and an Emergency Vehicle Operations Course (EVOC). Team members also have trained emergency response units outside the U.S. in high-angle rope rescue operations. In 2009, Santa Barbara County Search and Rescue ranked highest among all California-based search and rescue teams, responding to 126 calls for service. The team regularly responds with other Santa Barbara County emergency service units including fire departments, AMR, and the Sheriff's Department. Search and Rescue annually saves Santa Barbara County hundreds of thousands of dollars through unpaid professional efforts. While the county Sheriff's Department provides a small annual budget, mostly for gas and maintenance, private citizens and charitable organizations contribute all other team funding. Under our motto of "So others may live," we continue to proudly serve our community by donating our time, skill and experience to the residents and visitors of Santa Barbara County. Those interested in being part of our dedicated team, please visit our website at www.sbcsar.org. The authors are all part of the Santa Barbara County Search and Rescue Department team.

http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/k9ya_telegraph Hi All, Above is the link for this newsletter. I have found it one of the best. it is not only about CW; it has many articles about digital modes, and many other subjects close to the ham radio ops heart. You can probably find a copy on the Internet at the K9YA website. Take a look at it and see if it appeals to you, as it does to me. Have a wonderful weekend! Alan...N6HPO

SBARC Demo for Astronomy Day - Can you demo something?
by Rod Fritz 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

SBARC Members and Friends, This Saturday, we have a great opportunity to reach out to the public to generate interest and awareness of SBARC and Amateur Radio. I've arranged for us to have a booth, but I need help. Do you have something to demonstrate? How about something that attendees would enjoy interacting with? Even if you don't bring something to demo, can you represent SBARC by helping out? Even an hour of your time would be very valuable. We need you! The event is from 10am to 5pm this Saturday (4/24) at the Natural History Museum in Santa Barbara. Refer to the attached flyer for more details. Please email me or call me at 637-0985 if you are interested. The more, the merrier. Thank you, Rod Fritz, WB9KMO

Club phone
by Bill Talanian 16 Apr '10

16 Apr '10

16 April 2010 To: SBARC Membership From: Bill Talanian Subject: Club Station telephone In a previously email I made known that our Club telephone (569-5700) at the Red Cross would be cancelled due to the recurring monthly expense which was hard to sustain. This is a reluctant decision which has to be made. A period of time has been allowed for orderly transition from DSL to a wireless service. Once we drop this service my presumption is that a nice round numbered business line exists which a Club member could pick up. My understanding is that this number cannot be transferred to another Central Office. If you have an interest in this number then I will let you know on the day it is cancelled. The phone number should be available for reissue after a cancellation. .end
