Emergency Auto-Dial
by Bill Talanian 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

pdf version enclosed 8 December 2008 To: SBARC ListServer recipients From: Bill Talanian Subject: Emergency Auto-Dial SBARC maintains two phones which are tied to our local repeaters. In recent years the use of auto-patch calls has dramatically been reduced due to the influx of cell phones. However, the Board still supports the cost of the monthly recurring phone bill's as a service to the Amateur Radio community. As a reminder, speed dial numbers are available for use. Contact the system user representative listed in Key-Klix for more information. Enclosed pdf document, Repeater Tech Notes, specifically relates to the functions available under Emergency Auto-Dial numbers supported by the two systems. There are a few subtle changes to this listing in contrast to prior years. ****************

Garage Sale
by Marvin Johnston 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

Hi everyone! Tomorrow, Saturday December 6th from 8AM to noon, I'll be holding a garage sale to see if I can reduce the amount of "stuff" here. This will be similar to a moving sale ... moving from my garage to yours :). To many things to list, but a lot of it will be Bazaar type stuff and a sampling will include things like shrink tubing, oscilloscopes (probably non-working), hand tools, air nailer, blank rack panels ($1.00/RU), helicoil inserts, a couple of 19" or so color CRT monitors, industrial temp controllers, computer games, books, etc., etc., etc. Household type stuff will include skis, ski clothing, some cookware, magazines, some ebay type stuff that I refuse to list there, glassware, and other such stuff. My address is 408 Grove Lane, Santa Barbara, 93105. Thanks! Marvin, KE6HTS

The SBARC ATVSIG is alive and well...
by Rod Fritz 22 Nov '08

22 Nov '08

Hello SBARC List Server subscribers, I want to pass along my apology for missing the SBARC meeting tonight. I'm fighting off a flu bug and felt it was appropriate to keep it to myself. So. I won't be there to promote ATV or to record the meeting. L You are cordially invited to participate in ATVSIG, SBARC's Amateur TV Special Interest Group. This group is involved in almost every club activity and we need you on the team. If you check into the Tuesday 7:30 PM SBARC ATV Net, we can get you on Slow-Scan TV within a half-hour. That's all it takes and it opens a new horizon for you in ham radio. ATV is even easier because you can start by watching it live on the Internet (www.atn-tv.org and wb9kmo.camstreams.com). ATV beacons are on 24x7 with most live activity in the evenings. Best times are: . Tuesday night at 7:30 PM (SBARC) and 8:00 PM (ATN) . Saturday morning at 10:00 AM (SBARC) . Sunday morning at 9:00 AM (ATN). When you visit the Club Station (in the Red Cross building at 2707 State St.) ask for a demo of ATV receive and transmit. At the touch of a switch, swap live video with hams over 100 miles away. Note that there are lots of ATV, SSTV, PSK31 and other specialized mode programs (for HF to microwaves) on the Windows computer. We're looking for a few good hams to become experts and elmers in these areas. We've got a lot going on and we're constantly upgrading. Get on board. Send me an email to tell me what you're interested in at wb9kmo(a)sbarc.org. We look forward to seeing you on ham radio real soon. 73, Rod WB9KMO

Montecito Remote Base Update
by Ken Owen 21 Nov '08

21 Nov '08

Hi folks: Here is a little update on the Montecito remote base. Our site (but NOT our equipment) was destroyed by the Tea Fire, but we still hope to have the equipment up and running on Montain Drive soon. Also, we are working on some technical details. See below for details, and visit our web site for the complete story: http://www.n6kth.com/montecito You can also find photos of the fire damage on the web site here: http://www.n6kth.com/montecito/photos.htm Be sure to SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM for the latest pictures. Currently, the remote is functioning on a repeater test pair (448.880 MHz minus offset) with a pl of 88.5 Hertz. For now, the remote is located in downtown Santa Barbara and is in the testing phase. Sadly, the property where we plan to locate the remote base was completely destroyed in the Tea Fire of 11/13/08. Our friend Duke McPherson lost just about everything. Fortunately for us, we did not complete the preparation of the equipment, so it was not located at the site during the fire! Unfortunately, the enclosure was burned to the ground, and our hardline cable was destroyed. The antenna was toppled, but apparently not damaged. We hope to approach Duke in the near future about continuing to locate the system on his property. Calli continues to make needed improvements to the system. He has designed an automatic temperature control system and has programmed the remote for easy access to local repeaters. We also regularly use the remote to monitor the SSB net on Wednesday evenings at 8:30 PM. Ken, N6KTH

QRP Dinner this Friday before the SBARC meeting
by auditron 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

QRP Dinner this Friday before the SBARC meeting Come to the meeting at 7:30 PM Friday, November 21 Guess what! The QRP Special Interest Group (SIG) will be going to dinner together this Friday night before the November SBARC club meeting. Come and join us. We always have a very nice time, talk QRP, and down some of the best Italian food in Goleta. We go to Presto Pasta, which is at 5764 Calle Real. We start showing up there at 5:30 PM. We hams wait until all have arrived before starting to eat, just like one pig waits for another! After dinner, we will drive over to Fairview Ave., turn right and go less than 0.25 mile to the Goleta Union School District facility, which is right across the street from the Goleta Library. That is where we hold our monthly club meetings. This being the last SBARC club meeting of the year, we will be having our election of officers and directors for the new year. You may nominate someone from the floor, with their permission, or even yourself if you would like to serve the club next year. Then the excitement begins. Every Special Interest Group (SIG) will be bringing their favorite "stuff" to show off. Hopefully they will get you interested in their favorite activity within Amateur Radio. Spend some time looking over the gear, asking questions and meeting those who think that their SIG is the best of all of them. Having a favorite activity within the world's most exciting hobby has to just knock your socks off! Whether your interest is DX chasing, Amateur Television (ATV), Transmitter Hunting, communicating through Amateur Satellites, PSK-31, Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES), Antenna Construction, Automatic Position Reporting Systems (APRS), Weak Signal Communications (QRP), Microwave Mountain-Topping, or any other part of our great hobby that you just can't get enough of, bring over an example of it or an entire system and put it on display for the rest of us to look at and try to understand what it is all about. Grab a table in the room and use all of it or part of it to display your gear. Come early. Stay late. You will not want to miss this! Bring a guest with you. Is there a potential ham in your world? Don't forget to make a little write-up about your equipment and place it near your things and don't forget to put your name and callsign on it as well. Tell about whether it is commercially made or you designed/built it, how old it is, where you have used it, what you have accomplished with it, etc. And don't forget to bring your quality junque to deposit on the "free-to-good-home" table as well as take home your share of what others have deposited thereon. Consider renewing your dues for next year. This will be the last meeting of this year and would be a good time to get ready for 2009. You can bring your membership application along if you haven't already sent it in. You can download one from our SBARC website. Be sure to get your share of raffle tickets for the drawing and, if you get a chance, please bring along some refreshments to put alongside the coffee pot. See you Friday.

ARDF near Santa Barbara this Saturday
by Marvin Johnston 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

Learn hidden transmitter hunting and build equipment for it at Lake Los Carneros near Santa Barbara this coming Saturday, November 22. Bring the kids and grandkids, then go out on the course with them! This event is being hosted by Marvin Johnston KE6HTS. Before the hunt, Marvin will host a session of antenna and attenuator building for those who have a two-meter hand-held radio or scanner, but don't have any equipment for radio direction finding with it. If you register with Marvin ahead of time, he will have kits for measuring-tape yagis and active attenuators. There will also be tools and soldering stations. If you're not an electronic technician, don't worry because there will be experts to help you. We want you to succeed! Send e-mail to Marvin (marvin(a)west.net) to pre-register and get more information about equipment. If you already have equipment and just want to hunt, you don't need to pre-register. The building session starts a 9 AM. Please be prompt. The main 5-fox hunt begins about 10:30 AM. Hunters may start any time until 11:30 AM. Courses close at 2 PM. Bring any 2-meter RDF "sniffing" gear you have. If you don't have any, just bring your handi-talkie or scanner and come early for the building session. If you can't do that, come anyway, because a limited number of RDF sets will be available for loan. Also be sure to bring anything you'll need while going after those radio foxes, such as munchies, bottled water and sunscreen. Bring your own compass, protractor and pencil if you plan to use them for map marking. Make sure that all batteries are fresh. Directions to Lake Los Carneros: From US 101 about 8 miles west of downtown Santa Barbara, take the Los Carneros Road exit, head north about 1/4 mile and turn right into the Stow House parking lot. There should be plenty of free parking. The building session and hunt start will be in the picnic area, just east of the railroad depot. A map to the Los Carneros site is at www.homingin.com. In case of rainy or very wet conditions, the event might be postponed. Check the Homing In site before you set out to make sure that the event is a "go." Ham radio talk-in will be on the K6TZ repeater, 146.79(-) PL 131.8. 73, Joe Moell K0OV
