Ernie Stockero, W6SB, SK
by WB6WCW＠aol.com 07 Feb '10

07 Feb '10

Sad news: Ernie Stockero, W6SB, passed away early Thursday morning. You probably never ran across Ernie unless you operated extremely high speed CW on the low end of 40 meters. He moved here from Milwaukee with the influx of Delco employees in the early 1970's. He really loved his original call....W9HI.....but he had to trade it in for a W6 callsign after moving here. The FCC assigned him the call K6BS...which I thought was a very desireable callsign, but Ernie didn't see the humor in being K-6-Brown-Sugar (Hi). So he traded it in and ended up with W6SB......which is a great call for a Santa Barbara resident. Illness curtailed Ernie's ham radio operations several years ago........ Ernie is survived by his wife Shirley and 5 sons. I believe that services are scheduled for Saturday at St. Raphael's Catholic Church. Rest In Peace Ernie Bill Gross W6FF

223.92 Co-channel
by Bill Talanian 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

To: SBARC Listserver From: Bill Talanian, W1UUQ Subject: 223.92 co-channel I received confirmation that the Lemon Heights Repeater, KD6HK, has officially moved to 224.32 on 30 January bringing to close the long debated issue of co-channel interference to the Island input. When you have the opportunity please THANK the Catalina Amateur Repeater Assn. folks and the 220 SMA who cooperated with us in this effort. In particular Dan Corth, AD6HK and Frank Shannon, KF6RAL, for their personal attention and resolution.

Seeing Hustler Parts For A High School Ham
by Alain Michel 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

Hi All, I am sending this to you to assist my friend Dennis, N6KI. If you have what he is seeking or know where he might find it, you can reach him through the following email: N6KI73(a)gmail.com Many, many thanks for any help you can provide! Alan...N6HPO...San Diego Anyone got a spare Hustler RM-15 15 mtr mobile coil they want to sell cheap or donate to Tim KJ6BWX, newly licensed General ( High School Student ) who is trying to get on HF at home station which is antenna restricted so I suggested use mobile antenna after school in evenings for now and he will use a chain link fence and maybe a couple wire radials and a Quick Disconnect system I have found all other band coils except for 12 mtrs which is no biggee these days with propagation bad up there. He also needs the Male part of the QD-1 disconnect that is typically screwed into the ball on a vehicle as I have the Female part that goes on bottom of mobile mast

antenna coupling via proximity ?
by Neil VillacortaBuer 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

Greetings guys-n-gals, I have an over-the-air television antenna question. I have a 4-bay bow-tie UHF antenna that has a beam-width of approx. 45-degrees. About 10-feet in front of it, is a UHF yagi. The antennas are 100-degrees offset from each other (e.g., bow-tie faces North-West, yagi faces East) and I was planning to use a Channel Master Join-Tenna to join the two antennas together onto a single 75-ohm coax. However, I get a BETTER signal level not only the far-away North-West channel (45% vs. 23%) if I don't use the Join-Tenna, leave the yagi in front of the bow-tie, and just connect directly into the bow-tie. I was assuming it was the loss of the Join-Tenna, however, when I had the yagi face NW to the far-away channel, and the bow-tie face East to the local channels, the results were not better on ANY channel. I'm thinking that the Yagi pointed at the strong local channels is coupling the strong local channels in front of the bow-tie antenna, thus giving the bow-tie a 90-degree side-lobe. This WITHOUT the loss from the Join-Tenna is giving me the better signals. Does the make sense ? Comments ? Ideas ? Thanks, :-) neil KE6DCJ

Palm Springs Hamfest
by David Hackleman 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

Hi all, Just a note to mention, I can still change my mind, but I think I will check out this hamfest tomorrow that Michael forwarded the info about last Monday. If any SBARC'ers are going I'll see you there, and if not you can ask me about it afterward. I will encourage the vendors there to come to the SBARC Hamfest of course! It will also be an opportunity to try out my pocket-sized Sony "Webbie", or "Snap Camera", I got for Christmas that takes video as well as photos. 73, Dave Hackleman K6VML San Bernardino
