antenna party washout
by W1PR 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

Last weekend's rain and wind forced a postponement of the antenna party. If anybody who couldn't make it last weekend because of the holiday would like to help me for a half hour or so (I hope that's all) to get antennas up on the tilt over mast I would sure be appreciative! We can do it either Saturday or Sunday around 1 PM, wx permitting. Please email or call (967-4867). MNI TNX & 73 de Paul, W1PR

To view 10 minute updates of 9 camera positions from Diablo Peak go to: <http://www.diablo.sbarc.org/imageview.cgi> Camera globe has cracks, hopefully it will be replaced this month. Emacs!

Free - video camera
by W1PR 26 Dec '05

26 Dec '05

I have an early VHS-C camera whose heads need some major cleaning. Probably not worth doing. A Maxell cleaning tape didn't help. But the camera itself is functional, providing nice composite video out. Could be used for ATV or security. If anybody has an interest, please give me a call. 967-4867. 73 de Paul, W1PR -- Paul R Ryack - W1PR trustee, NN6DX W1PR(a)arrl.net

antenna party
by W1PR 26 Dec '05

26 Dec '05

Still have that seasonal spirit overflowing? How about volunteering for an antenna party next Saturday, New Year's Eve day, 12/31? Really not that much to do. I need a couple of reasonably coordinated people to help me mount my yagis on the tilt-over mast. The taller the better! The now-functioning rotator is in place and the stacked yagis are on the stinger. All I need is to get the stinger back in the rotor. Help would be appreciated. We can survey the group for choice of pizza, Mex, or Chinese or whatever! Please call me - 967-4867. MNI TNX de Paul, W1PR -- Paul R Ryack - W1PR trustee, NN6DX W1PR(a)arrl.net

Finally on HF!
by Reynolds, Michael 20 Dec '05

20 Dec '05

For anyone interested, I am finally set up to operate on HF, after being licensed for two years, and an Extra almost that long. I have the new Icom IC-7000, a BuddiPole, and an MK 31-AGM 105Ah battery, for strictly portable use. My first contact was with K7HI, a merchant marine on a cargo vessel near Honolulu. He reported my signal as 55. ---Michael, AE6QC

Viruses and Scams: RECENT FBI E-MAIL SCHEME
by Denny Morales 22 Nov '05

22 Nov '05

Another Email/Virus Scam! RECENT FBI E-MAIL SCHEME 1. THE FBI TODAY WARNED THE PUBLIC TO AVOID FALLING VICTIM TO AN ON-GOING MASS E-MAIL SCHEME WHEREIN COMPUTER USERS RECEIVED UNSOLICITED E-MAILS PURPORTEDLY SENT BY THE FBI. THESE SCAM E-MAILS TELL THE RECIPIENTS THAT THEIR INTERNET USE HAS BEEN MONITORED BY THE FBI AND THAT THEY HAVE ACCESSED ILLEGAL WEB SITES. THE E-MAILS THEN DIRECT RECIPIENTS TO OPEN AN ATTACHMENT AND ANSWER QUESTIONS. 2. THE E-MAIL APPEARS TO BE SENT FROM THE E-MAIL ADDRESSES OF MAIL(a)FBI.GOV AND ADMIN(a)FBI.GOV. THERE MAY BE OTHER SIMILARLYSTYLED ADDRESSES. THE RECIPIENT IS ENTICED TO OPEN THE ZIP ATTACHMENT WHICH CONTAINS A W32/SOBER.JEN@MM WORM. THE ATTACHMENT DOES NOT OPEN AND ITS GOAL IS TO UTILIZE THE RECIPIENT'S COMPUTER TO GARNER INFORMATION. SECONDLY, THE VIRUS ALLOWS THE E-MAIL TO BE FORWARDED TO ALL THOSE LISTED IN THE RECIPIENT'S ADDRESS BOOK. 3. THE TEXT OF THE EMAIL IS AS FOLLOWS: Dear Sir/Madam, We have logged your IP-address on more than 30 illegal Websites. Important: Please answer our questions! The list of questions are attached. Yours faithfully, Steven Allison Federal Bureau of Investigation-FBI- 935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW , Room 3220 Washington , DC 20535 Phone: (202) 324-30000 4. THESE E-MAILS DID NOT COME FROM THE FBI. RECIPIENTS OF THIS OR SIMILAR SOLICITATIONS SHOULD KNOW THAT THE FBI DOES NOT ENGAGE IN THE PRACTICE OF SENDING UNSOLICITED E-MAILS TO THE PUBLIC IN THIS MANNER. OPENING E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS FROM AN UNKNOWN SENDER IS A RISKY AND DANGEROUS ENDEAVOR AS SUCH ATTACHMENTS FREQUENTLY CONTAIN VIRUSES THAT CAN INFECT THE RECIPIENT'S COMPUTER. THE FBI STRONGLY ENCOURAGES COMPUTER USERS NOT TO OPEN SUCH ATTACHMENTS. THE FBI TAKES THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY AND IS INVESTIGATING. WHILE THE ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER FOR THE FBI IS CORRECT IN THE EMAIL, USERS RECEIVING E-MAILS OF THIS NATURE ARE ENCOURAGED TO REPORT IT TO THE INTERNET CRIME COMPLAINT CENTER VIA HTTP://WWW.IC3.GOV <http://www.ic3.gov/> . 5. THIS INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED BY THE FBI WEB SITE; WWW.FBI.GOV 6. POC: JTF-GNO/SCWO/CDO, CMCL 703-601-6601/6400, DSN 312-329-6601/6400. Dennis H. Morales, AD6EZ<>< Goleta, CA 93117
