Bill Lake's Motorola HF SSB/CW Xcvr
by WB6WCW＠aol.com 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Here's another good one: Motorola Micom-H, HF-SSB/CW Transceiver, built by MOBAT which is (as I understand it) Motorola in Israel. This is a very rugged radio..... This is a top of the line radio, receives 100 KHz to 30.00 MHz, and transmits on all Ham bands between 160 and 10 meters (including WARC). Requires 13.8 VDC @ 28 Amps Maximum........for SSB requires 17 Amps..... This radio is in like-new condition......I doubt if Bill ever really used it. A good description can be seen at: http://www.rigpix.com/mischam/motorola-mobat_micomh.htm And if you click on "Product Sheet" at the bottom of the page you get specifications. Included with the radio is the handheld microphone, Motorola power cord, and the Owner's Manual. Priced for quick sale @ $1,000.00 If interested contact: Bill Gross W6FF(a)sbarc.org (805) 968-4227

It is open to ham operators and non-hams of all ages and takes place on the beautiful campus of California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, California. Your hosts are Marcel Stieber KI6QDJ, the President of CPARC and Sam Vigil WA6NGH, Professor of Environmental Engineering at the university. [image: Measuring-tape beam]All you must have is a transceiver or scanner that covers the ham radio two-meter band. You can build your own direction-finding antenna and attenuator on the spot from kits if you aren't already equipped. Then try your hand at a 5-fox two-meter international-rules ARDF course of low to moderate difficulty. Experts will be on hand to help you with kitbuilding and they can teach you the basic techniques of on-foot direction-finding. Beginning about 9 AM, Marvin Johnston KE6HTS will conduct a clinic for building his kits for measuring-tape yagis ($15) and for 90 dB offset-type attenuators ($20) in room 20-116. For $45, you can get the yagi kit and an assembled/tested attenuator in a special housing that goes inside the boom of the yagi. (See photo at right). *If you register in advance by sending e-mail to marvin-at-west.net, he will have the kits reserved in your name waiting for you.* If you're not an electronic technician, don't worry because there will be plenty of experts to help you. We want you to succeed! *The transmitter hunt will start about 11 AM on a course set by Marvin.*There will be an orientation in room 20-128 and then a start by the hamshack tower. Hunters may start the course at any time until 1 PM. Course closes at 3 PM. A $5 donation to the club is requested for participation in the hunt. The course will include the main campus and Poly Canyon, so be sure to bring some water and wear suitable shoes. San Luis Obispo is on the central coast of California. From northbound Highway 101 downtown, take the Grand Avenue exit, turn left and go north uphill to the campus. From southbound Highway 101, take the Monterey Street exit, continue on the frontage road three blocks to Grand Avenue, then go right and uphill on Grand to the campus. See the map below. [image: Control flag]Look for event signs or an orange and white orienteering flag. (Example at left.) Park as close as you can to Engineering East Building 20 (the one under the ham radio tower).

Diablo webcam
by Bill Talanian 18 Feb '10

18 Feb '10

18 February 2010 To: All From: Bill Talanian Subject: Diablo Webcam At first light the camera appears to be tracking OK so at this point we can say it is up and running. The original problem was a package of dessicant which strapped to the electronics fell in front of the camera and blocking movement. The camera was shut down until the pack could be removed. <http://www.diablo.sbarc.org/imageview.cgi> The second problem was the wireless grid antenna. It was ripped off its mount and wrapped itself around the yardarm by the coax. It was restapped with hose clamps and appears to be working again. All this happened in the past storms when we had 55 mph sustained and 74 mph peak winds. The SBARC wind speed and wind direction also disintegrated at some point and will be replaced on the next trip. As always, THANKS to Aspen Helicopters for their excellent support in getting me to the Peak. .end
