SSTV Repeater is on the air!
by Rod Fritz 04 Apr '05

04 Apr '05

The WB9KMO SSTV Repeater is back on the air! It's located near Patterson Avenue and the freeway (on my home tower) for now. It ought to serve the Santa Barbara/Goleta area pretty well. Soon it will be put back on Gibraltar Road at 2500' elevation where coverage will be even better. Give it a try on 145.750 MHz SIMPLEX. Just send a 1750 Hz tone for 4 seconds and transmit your picture or wait for the last picture received to be retransmitted. If you haven't tried Slow-Scan TV, you ought to. It's lots of fun and one of the easiest, least expensive specialized modes of operation. You probably already have everything you need except for a free software download of MMSSTV (go to http://mmhamsoft.ham-radio.ch/mmsstv/index.htm). If you want to know more, check into the SBARC ATV Net at 7:30pm Tuesday on 146.79 MHz. I look forward to seeing you on ham radio, Rod, WB9KMO

dying monitor?
by W1PR 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

Is there any hope for a CRT monitor when it starts to smear? I'm using a 5 year old NEC MultiSync FE700 CRT flat screen, and have noticed that there is a smear of gray to the right of any black characters, such as a line of text. Degaussing did not help (nor did I expect it to but tried it anyway). Or is 5 years about what I should expect? Thanks for the anticipated sage advice. 73 de Paul

Check into the ATV Net, Tuesday @ 7:30pm on 19/79
by Rod Fritz 08 Feb '05

08 Feb '05

That's right, the ATV Net is back! My other interfering commitments are behind me now and I can jump back into this with both feet. We can do all of the neat things we used to do and more. ATV, SSTV, computers, gadgets, gizmos, history, and just about anything else that's related are fair game. You don't need to be involved in any of these things to participate. In fact, "lurkers" (those who only listen) are welcome, but we prefer you to jump in and talk with us. One new and interesting topic is WiFi. Do you wonder how it works? What does this have to do with Ham Radio? Why do Ham Radio operators have a big advantage over other users? What can we do with it? What is being planned? What is already operational? How easy is it to get on the air? If this is interesting to you, please check in this Tuesday night at 7:30pm on the 146.19/79 repeater. The theme is "Dream, Learn and Make It Happen!" You can be part of it. Tune in, Rod WB9KMO

SB rental housing
by NEV 03 Feb '05

03 Feb '05

I am writing to ask if anyone knows of a house or condo we might be able to rent for the month of June. We would prefer SB, Carpinteria, Ventura, Goleta - but we are open. We have two weddings in Santa Barbara, one over Memorial weekend and the other on June 25th and we thought it would be fun to visit SB for the entire month of June. We are probably looking for a three bedroom, but could make due with two. It will be Tiffany, Sydney (now 3 yrs. old!) and myself, and we will have a 6-7 week old new baby with us! If anyone has any good connections with vacation rental places let us know as well. Thanks again for any help and hope to see some of you in June. If anyone knows Kip's email address, please pass this along as well. We miss you all from Florida! 73's, Neil/KE6DCJ
