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

HF CODAR
by Bill Talanian 13 May '07

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 *************

SBARC Meeting on Friday - Selling Ham Equipment Online
by Marvin Johnston 16 Apr '07

16 Apr '07

Friday evening will be our monthly club meeting. There was more interest than I had anticipated in my KeyKlix article about online selling, so the topic this month will be an expansion of that article. While the thrust will be on selling ham equipment, the topics covered are applicable to selling almost anything online. A rough outline of the talk will be: * Introduction to Online Selling * Motivations for selling and their affect on Selling Strategies * Online venues for ham equipment (auctions, listservers, classifieds, etc.) * Online Demonstration of various venues * Knowledge = Profit - Intro to Marketing Research - Will it sell? - What are we looking for besides just pricing? - How to succesfully search online - Marketing Research Tools - HammerTap, A Professional Tool * Demonstration of listing online - Taking Photos - Writing the Description - Mechanics of Listing * Getting Paid and Shipping * Q&A See you there! Marvin, KE6HTS
