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 26 Jul '06

26 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 22 Jun '06

22 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

SBARC Members Field Day is Friday, June 23 to Sunday, June 25. The location is in Goleta, near the Stow House and Goleta Depot. To get there, take 101 and exit Los Carneros North. The Field Day site is just ½ mile north of 101 (Los Carneros and Covington Way). We will setup Friday afternoon beginning at 1 PM. Operation will start Saturday morning at 11 and end Sunday morning at 11. The club will run a 2A club station using the communications van and the rover vehicles. Field Day setup will be very easy this year. We will use the antenna masts on each of these vehicles. We still need a few more operators for this event. This location is very visible to the public. We also need members to greet visitors. Please reply to this email if you are available for either of these positions. We are planning a BBQ picnic for Sunday, June 25 at 4 PM. All club members and guests are invited to this picnic and to visit our Field Day operation. A no-host dinner meeting will be held Tuesday, June 20, 6:30 PM, at the Turnpike IHOP to discuss this event. Tom Saunders, N6YX

Responding to your message
by Darryl A. Widman 09 Jun '06

09 Jun '06

This from U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer on June 8, 2006 Darryl Widman, KF6DI Santa Barbara, CA Dear Mr. Widman: Thank you for contacting me regarding broadband over power lines (BPL), which is the transmittal of broadband signals over electric power lines. I appreciate hearing from you on this issue. President Bush has expressed his support for BPL as a viable method for increasing broadband access throughout the United States . However, there is concern that BPL interferes with the electromagnetic spectrum and disrupts radio communication, including emergency communications. As you may know, Congress is currently considering broad telecommunications reform legislation. In the House of Representatives, one major bill (H.R.5252) contains a provision that would require the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to conduct a study of the potential effects of BPL on radio communications. The major bill before the Senate (S.2686) contains no such provision. However, the Senate Commerce Committee, of which I am a member, will hold a hearing on S.2686 on June 13, 2006; it is possible that BPL issues will be considered at this time. Please be assured that I will keep your views in mind as legislation on this issue progresses. Again, thank you for writing to me. Please do not hesitate to contact me again about this or any other issue of concern to you. Barbara Boxer United States Senator Please visit my website at http://boxer.senate.gov
