Antenna and Some Moving Help Needed...
by Rod Fritz 08 Aug '10

08 Aug '10

Hello SBARC Members and Friends, During the next month, I'll be moving my QTH about a mile to another fine-biz location in Santa Barbara. I can handle most of the moving myself, but a few things are infinitely easier if two or more people work on them. Most of my STUFF is in storage, so I only need help with a few "too big for one person" items. If you're willing to help, please let me know and I can discuss what we need to do and what timing will work out. First task, tomorrow or Monday, is to load my canoe onto my van and deposit it at the new location. Second task is to move items to the hamfest on Friday or very early Saturday morning. Then after the hamfest, they need to be moved to the new QTH. Please email or call me if you can help out. Thank you, Rod Fritz, WB9KMO (805) 637-0985

Some of you might remember a few years ago when an unmanned sub, designed and built by Western Space and Marine, explored the Titanic. Here is a description of the project that allows virtual exploration of the Titanic: http://mashable.com/2010/08/06/expedition-titanic/ http://www.expeditiontitanic.com/

This Weekend: ARRL UHF Contest
by Alain Michel 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

Hello All, This coming weekend, August 7th and 8th, the ARRL UHF Contest occurs from 1800Z (11:00 a.m.) Saturdayto 1800Z Sunday on bands 222 MHz and higher. Here is the ARRL link for more info: http://www.arrl.org/news/the-bands-heat-up-for-the-2010-arrl-uhf-contest If you monitor 223.500 MHz, 446.000 MHz and/or the 1294.500 MHz calling frequencies, just answer any call you hear with your current "grid square"; if you can mount an outdoor antenna for any or all of these freq's, all the better! With the solar CME that occurred this past Sunday morning, I am unsure just how the incoming [400 Km per/sec] ionized solar wind will affect propagation in the upper bands. The solar wind is destined to collide with our atmosphere sometime this Wednesday. Best 73! Alan...N6HPO

JOTA
by Cronshaw Paul 31 Jul '10

31 Jul '10

Reposting this email for Darryl, Paul Cronshaw KF6TRT **************** Hello Friends of Scouting! You are all receiving this notice from me because I felt you were the ones who would like to help the Boy Scouts and Webelos Scouts at our annual Jamboree-on-the-Air -- JOTA, a get-together of Amateur Radio operators and Scouts all over the world at this time of the year. We will be using the facilities of Rancho Alegre, the Scout camp off of Hwy. 154 across from Lake Cachuma in Santa Barbara. Please read the attached letter carefully which has been sent to the leaders of all the Scout units in the Los Padres Council. It will explain "more than you wanted to know" about this great event. True, it is almost 3 months from now but, believe me, to pull off an event of this size takes much advanced planning. Each and every one of you could have an effect on the young people in the Scout units and the impact all of us will have on the Scouts and Webelos Scouts at this event will be monumental. The boys will look back many years from now and remember what they experienced here and, perhaps, will be able to attribute their hobbies and even their livelihoods to what we all did for them. How would you like to be a part of this? That day can come where a young man will come up to you, shake your hand and tell you, "Thank you for what you did for me!" Please contact me as soon as possible andlet me know if you can help us in this great event. As you will read in the attachment, a huge amount of preparation is taking place, right now, to prepare for the JOTA. The sooner I hear from you that you wish to help the Scouts, the sooner we will know if this event can be sucessfully put on for the boys. Thank you! Yours in Scouting, Darryl Widman, KF6DI JOTA Event Chairman Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club 805-969-2326 kf6di(a)sbarc.org
