SBARC Field Day
by Tom Saunders 12 Jun '05

12 Jun '05

SBARC Members, We still need operators for Field Day. We also need help setting up and taking down. Setup is Friday, June 24, starting at 11 am. Field Day operation starts Saturday morning at 11 am and runs to Sunday morning at 11. The location is Elings Park. Please note that we are located at the east part of Elings, near the hang gliders. This location is accessible from Cliff Drive or Flora Vista to Calle Montilla. We would like to have a bbq / potluck on Sunday at 5 PM. Since we can't cook in Elings, we will hold it next to Elings at Escondido Park (take Cliff Drive to Flora Vista). Please indicate your availability for Field Day and let me know if you will attend the bbq. 73, Tom Saunders N6YX

I just bought the Elecraft K2 for half the price (including the options) and its a much better receiver plus a proven track record.

Remember the days of Heathkit? I just ran across this reference on the Heathkit listserver for what appears to be a high-end transceiver kit. http://www.getboost.com/dz/

I really can't believe that anybody would want the following, but before I dispose of them: I have quite a few 5.25 inch floppies (yes, remember? they flop!) containing assorted early DOS programs and data. While redistributing the junque in my shack I realized I don't even have a computer with an old floppy drive anymore. If anybody wants them, please call me @ 967-4867 before I call BFI. 73 de Paul, W1PR

SBARC Saturday Morning Breakfast
by Marvin Johnston 01 Jun '05

01 Jun '05

Hi everyone, A recent Question of the Week for the club net asked what people thought about having a Saturday morning breakfast once a month. Everyone thought it was a good idea so we are going to give it a try. Dennis Schwendtner, WB6OBB, and his wife JoAnn, KA6RPN, will host this first breakfast. The details are: When: Saturday, June 4th, 2005 Time: 8:00 AM Where: Cody's Restaurant (in the shopping plaza at the corner of Turnpike and Hollister.) Who: Club members/family/friends Cost: Depends on what you order :) If you are planning on attending, please either email or phone Dennis to let him know. Not having any idea of how many people would attend, we made the initial reservation for 10 people, but we can easily increase that number as long as we know ahead of time. Dennis can be contacted via email at dennis(a)rain.org, or by phone at 966-7060.

==>CALIFORNIA EMERGENCY OFFICIALS SEE ADVANTAGES OF SSTV IN DRILL
by Marvin Johnston 06 May '05

06 May '05

Congratulations to ARES for the part they played in this exercise! *************** The ARRL Letter Vol. 24, No. 18 May 6, 2005 *************** ==>CALIFORNIA EMERGENCY OFFICIALS SEE ADVANTAGES OF SSTV IN DRILL Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) volunteers in California made slow-scan TV part of the communication mix when they participated in a voluntary wildfire evacuation drill April 30. The exercise involved residents of nearly 400 homes in a high fire hazard area of Santa Barbara County, and ARES' use of SSTV definitely caught the eye of emergency officials. "ARES provided us with the only continuous, real-time information on traffic flow and conditions in the incident area," said Jay McAmis of the county's Office of Emergency Services. "It was great!" Santa Barbara South County ARES Emergency Coordinator Lou Dartanner, N6ZKJ, says communicators with SSTV gear deployed at three locations along a narrow, winding road out of the canyon and in two locations along the evacuation route to a reception center some five miles away. Three additional ARES members provided voice reports on traffic flow, while four other team volunteers supported the field activity at the command post and reception center. Since the county's inaugural test of its new "reverse 911" system failed to reach everyone, many residents were alerted instead by sheriff's units using public address systems and by search-and-rescue team members going door to door. "As a result, instead of the traffic jam with fender-benders and finger-wagging, an orderly trickle of vehicles moved out of the area," Dartanner reports. "An SSTV station was set up at the reception center, and a crowd of about three dozen jostled around the monitor all morning, watching the near-continuous stream of pictures coming in from the field. A second, portable system was set up in back of a car at the Command Post, and the Incident Commander was able to see exactly what was--or was not--occurring in the incident area." More than 200 residents participated, as did personnel from 21 agencies and organizations. "Local fire officials are excited about using SSTV capability in the future," Dartanner says, "and ARES will continue to play an important role in their activities."
