ARRL proposed By Law 46
by Ken Alker 03 Jan '24

03 Jan '24

The confidentiality ("Code of Conduct") language is apparently back again for vote in a couple of weeks at ARRL! This look pretty serious - the board is trying a second time. This got shot down a few years ago; there was a lot of member protest. People are rallying the troops again. You can read about it here: Dec 2023: 1) <http://lists.contesting.com/pipermail/sccc/2023-December/014575.html> After reading above, click link to right of "Next message" near the top to scroll from one message to the next; there are 14 emails (Dec only), and the Subject line (unfortunately) changes a couple of times, but if you just keep clicking, you'll see them all. When done with these 14, click next link below. Jan 2024 2) <http://lists.contesting.com/pipermail/sccc/2024-January/014590.html> This is a continuation of the thread in January of this year, so far. There are 18 more emails as of today (again, several difference subjects, but all the same conversation). Just keep clicking next to "Next message" and you can skip through the couple that aren't part of the thread. Ken

Vintage Computer Fest SoCal
by Levi C. Maaia, K6LCM 14 Nov '23

14 Nov '23

Hi guys, I am passing along information about VCF SoCal, the first Vintage Computer Festival in Southern California. I attended VCF Southwest in Dallas and VCF West in the Bay Area last year and loved these events. It’s like a ham fest but for vintage computers. And there is a lot of crossover with vintage computers and vintage radios. Folks are using Commodore 64s and Apple Its to track the ISS and connect to Packet Radio systems and RTTY. It is very cool. People also bring things that could be museum pieces like vintage Soviet workstations and all-analog, vacuum tube computers as well as a ton of other tech from the 60s-90s. **See the photos attached.** I’m on the org committee and a sponsor for VCF SoCal. I’ll be exhibiting some stuff myself at the show down in OC this February. Check it out and consider coming down for it! https://www.vcfsocal.com/ LCM Levi C.
