Tunnel Road Fire
by michael＠reynoldsoffice.com 05 May '09

05 May '09

Apparently the fire has been named the "Jesusita Fire" by SB County Fire. There is a lot of activity on 153.905 MHz. This appears to be the OPS frequency for the fire. ---Michael, NO6O

145.18 Repeater Maintenance
by Bill Talanian 05 May '09

05 May '09

5 May 2009 To: 145.18 Repeater users From: Bill Talanian The 145.18 repeater at Santa Ynez Peak will undergo a change of control systems. This will require removal of the repeater for system integration off site. Given the usual things that can't go wrong but do we set a block period of 7 days to perform the modifications and testing. This is a "heads-up" which means it could happen any day with little prior notice.

Thank you, Michael. This is very sad. While my son, Joshua, was in school, and qualified for a personal bus ride to and from school, Hubert was sometimes the driver. Hubert was always a very giving person. ---Michael, NO6O

Dreier Museum Hi Everyone, I wanted to let you know I have arranged for a tour of the Dreier Museum on Saturday May 16th from 2-4:30 pm. You may not have heard of this place but it is generally not open to the public unless if is arranged for in advance. This is a private collection of Movie/TV memorabilia, Music memorabilia, Gems and Minerals/Fossils, Sports Memorabilia, and many other items. This is a private collection of Chad and Ginny Dreier and it is located in an old estate on Miramonte Drive near KEYT. Chad Dreier is the CEO of the Ryland Group which is the 2nd top building corporation in the U.S.. So he has big bucks and uses it to buy lots of stuff and also is a big donor to the Police Activities League and other charities. Anyway, of the many collectibles he has is a room totally dedicated to Lucille Ball. There are newspaper articles, letters and postcards written by her to her mother and Desi, pictures of her with many of her co-stars and actual clothing/costumes that she wore on her shows along with many other props. He also has many Disney collectibles such as Davy Crockett stuff, old tickets, pictures, figurines, etc. The gem collection includes a rare 40 - 50 pound uncut emerald! For the sports fan, he has a HUGE room with baseball, football, basketball, boxing memorabilia such as a baseball bat actually used by Babe Ruth and many old baseball trading cards with one actually worth $2 million ! It is an amazing place! I was up there in October when they had an open house for Police and Fire employees. I was awed and amazed by this place and I think you will be too! Plus the view is FANTASTIC! So invite your friends and be ready for an awesome experience! They will provide Drinks and finger foods for us. The cost of this will be $15.00 per person. Please let me know if you are interested. I will need to give them a head count by May 8th and send them the money by May 13th. I wanted to tell you about the place. If you have any questions let me know. You can call me at (805) 966-7060 or e-mail me, dennis(a)west.net An out of tune piano makes noise, not music!

Google in Morse Code for Samuel Morse' birthday
by Michael P. Jogoleff 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

HI All, I saw that as well; too bad Samuel Morse would not recognize some of those letters because they used the International Morse Code that came about in 1911, and not his original code. --- . .
