FYI: California to Install Wi-Fi Access in State Parks
by Thorsten von Eicken 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

I saw the following in the reuters tech news: California to Install Wi-Fi Access in State Parks SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Californians, known for their love for the great outdoors and for high technology, will soon be able to enjoy both at the same time as state parks get Wi-Fi Internet access. California State Parks officials said on Friday that SBC Communications Inc. (NYSE:SBC <http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/finance/nm/wr_nm/storytext/tech_california…> - news <http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/biz/nm/wr_nm/storytext/tech_california_wif…>) would install Wi-Fi links in 85 state parks over the next six months. Increasing numbers of laptop computers and handheld devices can connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi signals. The expansion into the state's vast park system marks the latest spread of Wi-Fi service into open spaces, which already includes the San Francisco Giants' baseball stadium and downtown San Jose, at the heart of Silicon Valley. San Elijo State Beach near San Diego is the first state park to receive Wi-Fi access, which could, for example, enable surfers to send up-to-date pictures and information about the waves. Internet access will work in only a small fraction of the overall park terrain, mostly around visitor centers and camping areas, said California State Parks spokesman Roy Stearns. Hiking trails would not be covered, he said. Laptop computer users need a Wi-Fi card to get access to high-speed Internet access and, if they are not SBC customers, they will have to pay $7.95 a day for the service. SBC will share some of that revenue with the state of California, an SBC spokesman said.

unusual U=bolt size
by W1PR 20 Jan '05

20 Jan '05

The rain stopped, the sun came out, and I went to work on the antennas that crashed last month. Just when I thought I had my antennas reconstructed....Murphy shows up. How does he always find me? I need to replace a 2-1/8 inch U bolt. The local hardware stores, including Home Depot, have 2 and 2-1/2 inch, but not 2-1/8. Does anybody have any suggestions? Please? MNI TNX & 73 de Paul, W1PR

Friday Night SBARC Meeting
by Marvin Johnston 19 Jan '05

19 Jan '05

Hi everyone, This Friday night will be the first club meeting of the new year. As most of you are aware, SBARC has a working IRLP node (3673) that was put into operation towards the end of 2004. Many people helped, but Thorsten Von Eicken, KG6VRT, was the person who finally got the software working and integrated with the hardware. This can be a tremdous communication tool since the SBARC 440 MHz repeater can now be reached from anywhere in the world that has an IRLP node. Our speaker this month will be Lonnie Bland, N6RBR. Lonnie has been working with IRLP and is the hardware person for the WALA net. Lonnie is *very* knowledgeable about how IRLP works and has given talks throughout Southern California. As an incentive to start using IRLP, our main door prize will be a new Alinco 440 HT with a touchtone pad. Also new with SBARC is an ENG (Electronic News Gathering) vehicle and you can see a description of the vehicle on Steve Hammer's website at http://k6sgh.com/ENG/eng.htm. It was picked up today and will be on display at the club meeting Friday night. When - Friday, January 21, 2005 Time - 7:30 PM (Doors open at 6:45!) Where - Goleta Union Schools Admin. Board Room 401 N. Fairview Ave., Goleta And it would be much appreciated if you could bring along some cookies/brownies/etc. for the break. Other activities for the meeting include the Free-to-good-home table where you can put those things you don't want but are too good to toss. Please pass this email along to whoever you think might be interested and see you at the meeting! Marvin, KE6HTS SBARC President
