Last Official Morse Code Exam Given in the USA
by auditron 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

The Last Official Morse Code Exam Given in the U.S.A. by Darryl Widman, KF6DI VE Team Contact Person The FCC, in its infinite wisdom, has decided that the Morse Code exam is not ever to be given again as a condition of passing any Amateur Radio class of license. The official limit of the date and time of the last Code exam to be given is Thursday, February 22, 2007 at midnight Eastern Standard Time. After that date and time, Code exams will be history in the United States. This little bit of information presents an opportunity for someone to become famous! How so? Well, a few members of the Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club were struck by the idea that a special VE testing session might be given between 8:30 P.M. and 9:00 P.M. Pacific Standard Time in Santa Barbara on the above date, thus allowing that lucky and special person to become the absolute last person to take and pass a Morse Code exam in the U.S.A., ever! This message should appeal to all Amateur Radio operators who hold the Technician class of license and have never yet passed their Morse Code exam (Element 1) part of the requirement to become General class holders. Also, those folks who hold a Certificate of Successful Completion of Examination (CSCE) for General or Amateur Extra class could take this Code exam so as to feel like they had "done it right!" Above all, the very last one to pass his or her Code exam would, as stated above, become instantly famous by having his or her name appear in the publication of the Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club -- Key-Klix -- and, if verified by the ARRL as the "last to pass", somewhere visible in QST magazine to be seen all over the U.S.A. and the world. If you would like to become world famous, get in touch with me, Darryl Widman, KF6DI, Contact Person for the Volunteer Examiner Team of the Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club and pre-register for this spectacularly special VE exam. You will be given the time, place and what to bring for this testing session. Call me at 805-969-2326 afternoons or evenings. And yes, Code is NOT dead! Code will live on forever! Study hard and practice. Not much time left. 73 and Good Luck!

Fwd: Lake Los Carneros ARDF report
by Marvin Johnston 11 Jan '07

11 Jan '07

A warmer-than-anticipated day made for a good turnout and excellent radio-orienteering at Lake Los Carneros, just west of Santa Barbara, on January 6, 2007. It was good to see some newcomers trying the sport for the first time, with lots of expert help. Since the full ARDF course was relatively short, there were only two beginner transmitters --- just enough to give some practice to the first-timers and warm-up for the others. To nobody's surprise, the best time on the full course was turned in by Jay Hennigan WB6RDV, who has medaled at the USA ARDF Championships and finished 16th on two meters in the World Championships last September. Jay made a trip around the lake to bag four of the five foxes in 37:20. Unfortunately, due to a command error (oops!), the fox #5 had been accidentally silenced when he got close to it. So Jay headed for the finish and then decided to go out again to find it when it was restored. He was given a fresh start coincident with #1 going on, as all others were. He got #5 and returned in 4:57, which means that he found it and was back at the finish before it cycled off! Results of the two-meter five-fox ARDF course: Name and call Foxes Time Jay Hennigan WB6RDV 5 0:42:17 total for two runs Scott Moore KF6IKO 5 1:00:01 Bill Smathers KG6HXX 5 1:07:16 Terry Newman AE6JR 5 1:14:40 Steve Ostrander K6OST 4 2:03:28 with Tyler and Diane Alex Das KI6FDO 3 2:02:14 with Darryl Widman KF6DI Tony Cirineo KD6DUV 3 2:15:38 Travis Wood AE6GA ? ? with Garrick One 80-meter fox was available and four participants found it, with these elapsed times: Scott Moore KF6IKO 0:13:45 Jay Hennigan WB6RDV 0:15:28 Bill Smathers KG6HXX 0:16:33 Terry Newman AE6JR 0:44:52 Thanks to Marvin Johnston KE6HTS for organizing this event and updating the map. Also thanks to April Moell WA6OPS for performing her usual fox-wrangling, timing, PR and medical duties. Photos are at www.homingin.com The next event will be announced soon. Joe Moell K0OV
