Marathon events coming up
by Jay Hennigan 21 Oct '09

21 Oct '09

(Note, I will be at both events but won't be carrying a radio. I'm slow enough without one. Wave if you see me. - WB6RDV) Forwarded message from Rick Whitaker: Dear SBARC members, The year is rapidly coming to a close. With it, the chance to participate in supporting our community marathons also is coming to an end. There are only two more marathon events left. The ones next year don't start until May. Saturday, November 7, 2009- Santa Barbara News Press Half Marathon- This has always been a fun and casual event. It starts near Leadbetter Beach with a run (or walk) along the coast, up to the Mesa and then down to the Biltmore and back. It starts at 0800 and the course closes at 1100. I am looking for several people to position along the course from the Biltmore back up to the Mesa. Usually we like to have our people stationed at the water stations so they can communicate the needs of the race officials/volunteers. There are 6 water/aid stations in this event. If anyone is interested in riding a bicycle at a slow pace behind the last walkers it would really help, as the course is not big enough to follow in a car.It has always been a very enjoyable event, and we have participated in this for many years. Sunday, December 6, 2009- Santa Barbara International Marathon- This is a big event--one that we have not covered before. It starts at a mile west of Costco and ends at Leadbetter Beach. They have over 15 water stations and it covers the entire 26 miles. There will be competitors from across the nation showing up for this event. We will be working closely with the Red Cross as one of the sponsors. It is not mandatory but if you work the SB News Press Half Marathon you will get a flavor of what we do. It would be great to get as many members as possible for this event because of the distance it covers and the fact it goes down sections of bike path areas. The event starts at 0630 and will run until 1300 (1PM). We would very much like to have a good turn out of our members and show the community our strength and purpose. If you are interested in one or both events please get back to me. No previous experience is needed and this gives you a great chance to get some radio air time. If you do not have an HT or yours is broken, we can arrange to have you borrow one from the club that will be set with the correct frequencies and repeater codes. Please get back to me soon. Tell me if you are interested in one or both events. I would like your: Full name (not just Bob or Bill), Call sign, email address, phone number, and if you need a radio. Many thanks. 73’s Rick Whitaker VP of Operations rickwhtr(a)cox.net -- -- 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

Now, it's Jug's Turn in the Limelight!

Also commenting on KI6HPO was Jug, WA6MBZ of Santa Barbara, California, who wrote, ''Until he died, we had an American who had been an AT&T employee who retired the moved to San Quentin, Mexico, about 250 miles below the US-Mexican border''. ''Every year for many years during the summer months etc, he would come on the Santa Barbara repeater on 146.790 MHz. He knew when the signal level was right and therefore when he could get into our repeater with a usable signal''. ''Our repeater is located on a hill near the beach called the Mesa. It is at about 400 feet above sea level. He could not get into our other repeaters that were located up at about 4,000 feet''. ''He was a very friendly guy and we used to talk to him for hours on end. I don't think any of our group ever asked him if he could get into other repeaters along the coast of Southern California''.

Re: [Sbarc-list] Ham WiFi Group...
by W6YN Don Milbury 15 Oct '09

The Wi-Fi Alliance is nearing completion of a new specification to allow Wi-Fi devices to connect to one another without joining a traditional home, office or hotspot network. The Wi-Fi Alliance expects to begin certification for the new specification in mid-2010 and is currently called Wi-Fi Direct. In its early stages of development it was known as Wi-Fi Peer-to-Peer. The new specification can be implemented in any Wi-Fi device, including mobile phones, cameras, printers, notebook computers, keyboards and headphones. Certified devices will also be able to create connections with Wi-Fi certified legacy devices already in use. Devices will be able to make a one-to-one connection or a group of several devices can connect simultaneously. The new specification targets both consumer electronics and enterprise applications, providing management features for enterprise environments and includes WPA2 security. Wi-Fi Direct devices will support typical Wi-Fi ranges and the same data rates as can be achieved with an infrastructure connection, so devices can connect from across a home or office and conduct bandwidth-hungry tasks. The Wi-Fi Alliance plans to publish its peer-to-peer specification upon completion and will begin certifying devices for the Wi-Fi Direct designation in 2010. 73, Don, W6YN
