1939 HAM RADIO PROMOTION FILM
by Marvin Johnston 05 Oct '07

05 Oct '07

This was forwarded to me by a friend in Colorado, and is quite interesting! Marvin, KE6HTS HAM RADIO PROMOTION: MGM FILM PRESENTS "RADIO HAMS" A film from Metro Goldwyn Mayer that promotes Amateur Radio has surfaced on the Internet. Produced in 1939 by Pete Smith, "Radio Hams" centers on a family called to dinner. All but the teenage son respond. When family members go looking for him, one by one they are snared into a world of ham radio high adventure. One that includes a rescue in Alaska and a tragic search for a downed aircraft at sea. Unlike most films promoting ham radio, this one is not a documentary. It's a fully scripted 10 minute dramatic presentation featuring a cast of professional actors well directed by Felix Fiest. E. Mauriece Adler is credited with writing the screen play. "Radio Hams" is really a nostalgic look back at ham radio, the way it never was.

IRLP node
by W1PR 16 Sep '07

16 Sep '07

Bill, Shaw, others who may have answers: You request abuse of the node, so I just did my best, monopolizing it for about an hour to join a net on the Japan reflector. I noticed a couple of things I had not heard on IRLP operation before: 1. There appeared to be a pretty aggressive time out alligator. I'm not sure where the timer in question is, at K6TZ or on the remote node, which was a complex of IRLP, WIRES, and patched in HF. It was as short as 30 sec or as long as a minute or more. Audio simply stops and a second later the carrier drops but without the "beebeeboop" remote courtesy tone. I was able to key TZ, but it did not relay any remote audio until the timer (wherever it is) was reset by the transmitting station standing by. My question, then, is how is the timer configured locally? 2. Probably related to #1: periodically, a local announcement, "3, 30 seconds received" comes on and covers up the remote audio. I was unable to discern a relation between actual length of remote transmission prior to hearing this announcement, or the dropping of the carrier after the announcement. Can you clarify this one, too? Great work in keeping the repeater and the IRLP node up.

What is the elevation of the 440 node? The last time I tried to reach it, I found out I couldn't hit the repeater unless I was in town. sbarc-list-request(a)lists.netlojix.com wrote: > Send SBARC-list mailing list submissions to > sbarc-list(a)lists.netlojix.com > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.netlojix.com/mailman/listinfo/sbarc-list > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > sbarc-list-request(a)lists.netlojix.com > > You can reach the person managing the list at > sbarc-list-owner(a)lists.netlojix.com > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of SBARC-list digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

TZ-446.400 IRLP should be up and running as of this morning would appreciate if people can use & abuse it a little, and let me know if there are any problems. Im specifically looking for feedbacks on audio level to/from the remote nodes, and audio quality. I have temporarily set low RF transmit timeout for inbound traffic from remote will fix it in a week or so. Also please help keep an ear on the 446.400 system to make sure it hasnt gone haywire. For those of you not familiar with IRLP, the 30-second usage tutorial (minus the rules/convention/etiquette blurbs) -- To connect to the remote node: 1. Look up destination 4-digit node number at <http://status.irlp.net/>http://status.irlp.net 2. Touch tone the 4-digit node (FYI: our K6TZ node is 3673) To disconnect from the remote node: 1. Touch tone 73 -Shaw Takeuchi

time to QRT?

A new study conducted in South Korea suggests children who live close to an AM radio transmission tower may have an elevated risk of leukemia. According to Radio World, researchers found that children who lived within 2 kilometers of an AM radio transmitter were twice as likely to develop lymphocytic leukemia as children who lived more than 20 kilometers away. The study included 1,928 children with leukemia, 956 with brain cancer and 3,082 healthy children. The researchers took measurements of electric and magnetic fields surrounding AM transmission towers in various areas of South Korea. They then used a mathematical model to estimate residents' exposure to radiation from the towers. The findings were published in the American Journal of Epidemiology. -- Paul R.

Reminder - Topanga ARDF this Saturday
by Marvin Johnston 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

The next southern California on-foot transmitter hunt will be Saturday, August 18, at Topanga State Park. This session is part of a series of local events leading up to the USA ARDF Championships that will take place near Lake Tahoe during September. As always, this session is open to anyone of any age, with or without a ham radio license. Experts will be on hand to teach you the basic techniques. If you are a beginner, there will be entry-level two-meter fox transmitters just for you, set by Joe Moell K0OV. For advanced radio-orienteers, there will be a 5-fox two-meter course approaching the length of a national championship course, set by Marvin Johnston KE6HTS. One or more optional 80-meter fox transmitters may also be on the air. Transmitter hunting begins at 10 AM. You may start at any time up until noon. Courses close at 3 PM. A limited amount of radio direction finding gear will be available for loan. For the advanced 2-meter course, electronic scoring will be used. If you have an "e-stick," be sure to bring it. There is a $5 fee to cover expenses related to the use of Los Angeles Orienteering Club's e-punch equipment and maps. The beginner course and the 80-meter transmitter hunt are free of charge and e-punch is not required for them. Topanga State Park is in the Santa Monica Mountains. From Highway 101 in Woodland Hills, go south on Topanga Canyon Boulevard (Highway 27) about 8 miles. From Pacific Coast Highway, go north on Topanga Canyon Boulevard to just past Old Topanga Canyon Road. Either way, watch for a "Topanga State Park" sign and turn east onto Entrada Road. (This is a dangerous corner.) Go about a mile, bearing left at the fork. We will gather at the end of the parking lot in the shaded picnic area. Look for the orange and white orienteering flag. Talk-in will be on 146.97 MHz simplex. Vehicular entrance and parking costs $5 per vehicle. Special note: There is back-country camping in this park. You could camp out the night before to be there early for this event. A map to the site and link to camping information are at <www.homingin.com>. 73, Joe Moell K0OV
