Saturday Morning Field Day
by Bill Talanian 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

To All Hands From: Bill Talanian Subject: Site cleanup SATURDAY MORNING FIELD DAY This coming Saturday, 9AM, 1 April (no jokes please :-)), at the 146.79 site, La Vigia Hill, (Vic Trace Reservoir) we need a few people to help load cut brush onto pickup trucks. The brush will be hauled to the back of the site about 200 yards away. This activity should take less than 2 hours and we could use a few personnel. If you have a pickup truck that can haul cut brush and small tree trunks then bring it along. If you don't care to work then come along anyway. The site is open to all. We won't ask you to work if you show and just want to visit the source of the VHF/UHF Repeaters, IRLP, APRS, Packet, ELT Rcvr, and node for the Santa Cruz Island streaming video. Direction: Go up Carrillo Hill from SB. At the crest of the hill is La Coronilla Drive, take a left. CAUTION: Be careful taking the left as cars from the opposite direction cannot see you. Go up La Coronilla about 1/4th mile, go past Dolores. On the right near 1633 will be a blind driveway on the right and a chain link fence. Gate will be open, just drive in. The antennas are not always visible as you drive up La Coronilla. If it is a rain day then we will call it off and schedule another day.

SBARC March 2006 Meeting
by Tom Saunders 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

SBARC members, The meeting topic for Friday, March 17, will be an auction followed by a mini-bazaar. The club will sell many of the items that it has accumulated. Please note that the club may not hold a bazaar in July this year. Members may bring items to sell at this meeting. You can either donate the item to the club or enter it as a 'Red Tag' item in which the club gets 10 % of the sales price. All items must be ham, electronic, or computer equipment. Please do not bring non-ham items such as vacuum cleaners or Ford transmissions. If you bring an item and it does not sell, you are responsible for taking it away. Display space is limited, so please limit the amount of items to a reasonable amount. Please contact me if you have any questions. Please have Bill Gross, Marvin, or myself check each item before offering it for sale. The meeting will start at 7:30 PM with the auction starting at 7:45. If you want to preview the items for sale, you should do so between 7:00 and 7:30. The auction items will begin with a minimum bid. The item will not sell if a minimum bid is not met. The bazaar will begin after the auction has completed. Bazaar prices will be fixed at bargain prices and will not be further reduced. Payment must be made at the meeting in cash or check. Please send any questions or comments on the auction/bazaar to me. Happy hunting this Friday, Tom Saunders, N6YX

Computer Demolition
by Marvin Johnston 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

I ran across this site when the owner posted a message to the ClassicCmp listserver. http://terryking.us/parport/ The two projects that look the most interesting are: COMPUTER DEMOLITION! Take an old computer apart with kids. How-to manual in PDF format (300K). PR Crane: A computer-controlled crane made from an IBM Graphics Printer! PRCRANE.ZIP Size: 300K The basic thrust is education, and I *love* two quotes in the introduction to "COMPUTER DEMOLITION!": Will American kids be Inventors in 10 years, or just operate appliances designed elsewhere? and, by the way, Whatever happened to the Kid who took Alarm Clocks apart to discover how they worked? and YOU HAVE TO DEMOLISH TECHNOLOGY TO UNDERSTAND IT. KIDS LEARN THE MOST WHEN THEY ACTUALLY DO THINGS, HANDS-ON. KIDS CAN COMPLETELY DISASSEMBLE OLD IBM XT-TYPE COMPUTERS , LEARN WHAT THE DIFFERENT PARTS DO, AND REBUILD THEM IN 1-1/2 HOURS .

ARDF Saturday at Lake Los Carnaros
by Marvin Johnston 16 Feb '06

16 Feb '06

This Saturday (February 18), we will again hold the Beginner's T-Hunt at Lake Los Carnaros. We will be meeting at 9:00 AM and get started hunting shortly after that. This will be an on-foot hunt with five transmitters and a course length of about 2 miles. The expected time to find all transmitters will be about 1 - 1 1/2 hours ... faster if you run and have experience :). This is a free practice and some equipment will be available to borrow.

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS Beyond the Boilerplate! Guest speakers are from the Santa Barbara South County Amateur Radio Emergency Service group. You've probably already learned a lot about how to prepare for a disaster and we'll discuss that, including emergency kits. But we'll go beyond the usual: Survival psychology, lessons learned from Katrina and Rita, communications in a disaster, and what ham radio operators can do after a disaster. Please join us! on Friday, February 17th, 7:30 p.m., at the Goleta Union Schools District Administration Center Board Room, 401 N. Fairview Ave. Free admission, free parking, refreshments, raffle!
