Diablo Peak / Santa Cruz Island repeaters
by Levi C. Maaia, K6LCM 25 Jan '23

25 Jan '23

The SBARC Hub voice link to the 146.655 repeater on Santa Cruz Island has been restored thanks to the efforts of the Telecommunications Services Committee. In order to conserve battery life at this remote, solar-powered site, the 223.920 repeater is on the air but is not linked to the SBARC Hub. LCM Levi C.

Fwd: A new kind of ham contest - I need volunteers
by Levi C. Maaia - K6LCM 18 Jan '23

18 Jan '23

Though you might be interested in this new kind of ham contest for HT owners. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Geoffrey Mark <km6tvj(a)geoffmark.com> Date: Tue, Jan 17, 2023 at 10:55 AM Subject: A new kind of ham contest - I need volunteers To: <brian(a)k6bpm.com>, <k6lcm(a)maaia.com> Hello, My name is Geoffrey Mark - call sign KM6TVJ. I am writing to you because I am looking for ham radio operators within grid square DM04 to help me develop a new kind of contest. One designed for all hams, but especially brand new hams using low cost HT's. I designed this contest to show that hams working together could send a message across America, using only 5w HT's and no repeaters or internet. The idea is that each one would hear a verbal message and send it on with as much accuracy as possible. So - using good mic techniques, holding their HT vertical - the basics. All those basics will count in this contest! I call it "HT's Across America." Here's a link to more information about me and the contest. https://www.qsl.net/km6tvj/ I would like to ask you to tell your membership about this experimental contest. The more hams involved, the more likely it is to work. Also - I am still developing the rules and parameters for this contest, so the more input I receive, the better. Feel free to forward this email, with my email address and link to that web page, to any ham that might be interested. Thank you and 73, Geoffrey KM6TVJ

Restored: AllStarLink Connectivity
by Levi C. Maaia - K6LCM 17 Jan '23

17 Jan '23

Terrestrial network connectivity has been restored to the Talanian Communications Facility on the Santa Barbara Mesa. As a result, AllStarLink nodes 43763 and 43764 are once again accepting incoming connections. I will remove the temporary conference on my personal node 42437. If you are using your own node, please reconnect to 43763 for SBARC Hub traffic. LCM *Levi C.
