Using their native Mavajo language as a basis, they developed a "shorthand" verbal code which was never broken through WW II and used heavily by the Marines. Each year he tries to promote and commemorate the Navajo Code Talkers Day, August 14. The 3rd annual event is Aug 13-Aug 14, 1400Z-2359Z daily, on 14.265 and 7.265 +/- .

speedy license renewal
by W1PR 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

FWIW: I renewed my license on line direct to the FCC. Not that much of a hassle, despite what W5YI and ARRL might have you believe. And the renewal was issued in 72 hours! 73 de Paul R Ryack - W1PR, Santa Barbara, CA JE1LRT, Tokyo, Japan trustee, NN6DX email: W1PR(a)arrl.net --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

Anyone remember this gentleman? Please include ghiscox(a)earthlink.net in any reply, thanks! -------- Original Message -------- Date: Tue, 08 Aug 2006 18:27:33 -0700 To: jay(a)west.net From: George Hiscox <ghiscox(a)earthlink.net> Subject: Charles T. Skarolia Callsign? Jay, I'm trying to help the grandson of a deceased ham track down his grandfather's callsign. The ham is Charles T. Skarolia and he last lived in the Santa Barbara area before he passed in 1989. I know that he taught CW in the military. The grandson, Jim Tucker, recently received his ham ticket and is trying to find some info on his grandfather's ham career. If you or some of the other OMs up there remember Charles, I'd appreciate an email. Thanks and 73, George, WA6RIK Garden Grove, CA -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Administration - jay(a)west.net NetLojix Communications, Inc. - http://www.netlojix.com/ WestNet: Connecting you to the planet. 805 884-6323

K7RR SK
by ajsoenke＠aol.com 01 Aug '06

01 Aug '06

I have just learned that Cliff Buttschardt, K7RR, passed away peacefully early Sunday, July 30th. Cliff was a long time friend of SBARC and Amateurs throughout the world. He had been in treatment for esophageal cancer for the past year or so, but remained active in all his pursuits. He was very active in AMSAT since it's early years and for the past 6 years was a mentor to many students at Cuesta College and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with the CubeSat program http://polysat.calpoly.edu/ http://cubesat.calpoly.edu/. A frequent visitor to SBARC club meetings and Hamfests, he will be missed, both in the crowd and behind the mic. May he rest in peace.

Hamfest Vendors
by Marvin Johnston 30 Jul '06

30 Jul '06

While down at TRW, I found out that Wired Communications will be at our Hamfest. The person who runs it used to own Roger's Specialists, and started this company after he sold Roger's Specialist. They sell cables, connectors, adapters, etc. so this will be a great opportunity to pick up these types of items at a reasonable price. The vendor list is growing, and this year's hamfest is shaping up to be a really nice one. MANY thanks to Darryl and Al for all of the work they have put into this years event! You can see more information about this year's hamfest on the SBARC website at: http://www.sbarc.org/

change of e-mail address
by Darryl A. Widman 25 Jul '06

25 Jul '06

Hi Jay, Paul Cronshaw, KF6TRT changed his e-mail address and forgot to let our club know about it. This showed up when my Hamfest blurb to him bounced. I talked with his wife who gave me his correct address which is beemancron(a)hotmail.com You did know he was a bee keeper. I have told our Key-Klix editor to change it where we mention the Listserver for the club. BTW, you will be able to write up that little blurb for your sniffer, won't you? I didn't hear from you. Thanks, Darryl

Rohn-25 Tower Disassembly
by Rod Fritz 24 Jul '06

24 Jul '06

Greetings, I will be moving to a new location in Santa Barbara soon and need to hire someone to disassemble my 40' Rohn-25 tower. There are a few VHF/UHF antennas to take down - no rotor and nothing big. If possible, I want the tower to survive so I can install it at a new location. Can you recommend someone who can safely disassemble this for me in the next 30 days? Thank you, Rod Fritz, WB9KMO -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

SBARC Field Day News and Operator Schedule
by Tom Saunders 21 Jun '06

21 Jun '06

SBARC Members, Just a final reminder that this weekend is Field Day. The location is in Goleta, just north of the Stow House at Los Carneros and Covington Way. Everyone is invited to Field Day. You are welcome to come by and observe the fun. Setup will begin Friday afternoon at 1 PM. This year we will not set up any heavy towers. We will use both of the club's communication vehicles for Field Day stations. Most of Friday afternoon will be spent making casual contacts on HF. If you or a friend is interested in making an HF contact, we will have licensed control operators ready to assist. Field Day will start at 11 AM Saturday morning and run to 11 AM Sunday. Since the location is very visible to the public, I hope that we can get lots of members to answer questions and assist our membership chair, Ingrid Steele. Please note that the time for the Sunday BBQ has changed to Sunday Noon. The location is the George Adams Picnic Grove located south of the Goleta Depot. All SBARC members and guests are invited. The club will provide drinks and burgers. Please bring a salad or dessert to share. The tentative operator schedule is below. Please let me know if there are any corrections to this list. We still have a few openings that we need to fill. 73, Tom N6YX Station 1 (CW / Phone) Communication Van Saturday 11-1 Open 1-3 Open 3-11 Steve Long AC6T Saturday Night / Sunday Morning 11-7 Jug WA6MBZ 7-9 Open 9-11 Steve Long AC6T Station 2 (Phone) Rover Saturday 11-1 Tom Saunders N6YX 1- 3 Darryl Widman KF6DI 3-7 Dennis Schwendtner WB6OBB / Marvin Johnston KE6HTS 7-11 Paul Ryack W1PR / Kip Omweg K1KIP Saturday Night / Sunday Morning 11-7 Chuck Gould WB6KDH 7-9 Open 9- 11 Tom Saunders N6YX
