Father's Day gift for Hams
by auditron 08 Jun '07

08 Jun '07

The best Father's Day gift any dad can receive is a day in Santa Maria at the Santa Maria Radio Swapfest! ------------------------------- How Hams Celebrate Father's Day: President Calvin Coolidge recommended it as a national holiday in 1924. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson made Father's Day a holiday to be celebrated on the third Sunday of June. The holiday was not officially recognized until 1972, during the presidency of Richard Nixon. In recent years, retailers have adapted to the holiday by promoting male-oriented gifts such as electronics and tools. Families of Amateur Radio operators insist that he or she attends the Santa Maria Radio Swapfest. This year as in recent years past, Amateur Radio operators will celebrate Father's Day on Saturday June 16, 2007 at the Santa Maria Radio Swapfest The Santa Maria Radio Swapfest is sponsored by the Satellite Amateur Radio Club. You can get all of the information by downloading the swapfest flyer at: http://www.satellitearc.com/2007%20Swapfest%20Flyer.pdf In Santa Maria, California Saturday morning June 16th.

SBARC Field Day Operators Needed
by Tom Saunders 28 May '07

28 May '07

SBARC Members, Field Day is Saturday, June 23 to Sunday, June 24. The location is the Christ Lutheran Church field near the corner of Los Carneros and Covington Way. This is the same location that we had last year. It is just north of the Stow House parking lot. SBARC will have two HF stations located in the Communications Van and the Rover. One station will be primarily phone, the other will be primarily CW. Setup will be very easy since we use the club's vehicles. Setup will begin Friday afternoon at 1 PM. If you are interested in operating during Field Day, please indicate your mode (CW or phone) and first and second choice from the schedule below. Operators are scheduled in two hour shifts. Two or more operators during a shift is encouraged so that one person can log while another operates. Shifts are : Saturday 11 am - 1 pm 1 pm - 3 pm 3 pm - 5 pm 5 pm - 7 pm 7 pm - 9 pm 9 pm - 11 pm Night 11 pm - 5 am Sunday 5 am - 7 am 7 am - 9 am 9 am - 11 am The SSB Phone station will use a Yaesu Mark V in the Rover. We have worked on the Rover to permit 'silent' operation mode using battery power. The Mark V has a roofing filter and voice memory keyer to make it easier to operate. Everyone is invited to the Field Day Potluck BBQ at 3 pm Sunday. The club provides hamburgers, hot dogs, and soda. Please respond to this email or call me at the number below. 73, Tom Saunders N6YX SBARC Executive Vice-President Cell 805 452 0840 Email tsaund(a)cox.net

13 May '07

5/13/2007 Most everyone in SBARC has probably seen the daily WebCam pictures from Diablo Peak on Santa Cruz Island. This program was initiated with the UCSB Geography Department in conjunction with their on-going weather studies in the central valley. http://www.diablo.sbarc.org/imageview.cgi This wireless link from Santa Cruz Island to the mainland has now attracted another task from the UCSB Physics Department. The <http://www.icess.ucsb.edu/iog/about/index.php>Interdisciplinary Oceanography Group (IOG) is affiliated with the <http://www.icess.ucsb.edu>Institute for Computational Earth System Science (ICESS) based at the <http://www.ucsb.edu>University of California (UCSB). Amateur Radio operators may be interested in this program as it involves HF in the 3-50 MHz band called HF Radar Coastal Ocean Dynamic Application Radar (CODAR). The participation by SBARC is now in its formative stages under Thorsten von Eicken, of SBARC and Cyril Johnson of UCSB. For more information on this exciting program use the following link: http://www.icess.ucsb.edu/iog/realtime/index.php *************
