antenna disaster - advice?
by W1PR 21 Nov '04

21 Nov '04

I had an unusual structural failure recently when all the bolts securing the dome to the body of my antenna rotor apparently worked their way loose, allowing the rotor to separate, unceremoniously causing my A3WS and A4S beams to crash to the ground. Luckily there was no damage to the roof off which they must have bounced on their way earthward. Most of the damage to the beams involves the end sections of the elements, which got pretty bent. Here's my question: is there a way to straighten out the aluminum tubing without breaking it? Does a tool exist to help do it? Advice appreciated. TNX & 73 de Paul, W1PR

[Fwd: [ARRLSB] ALERT ISSUED FOR STOLEN CROP-DUSTER]
by Michael P. Jogoleff 08 Nov '04

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ARRLSB] ALERT ISSUED FOR STOLEN CROP-DUSTER Date: Mon, 8 Nov 2004 08:58:00 -0800 From: W6YN Don Milbury <w6yn(a)juno.com> To: arrlsb(a)mailman.qth.net ARRLSB - The Official ARRL Santa Barbara Section Mailing List -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALERT ISSUED FOR STOLEN CROP-DUSTER The Transportation Security Administration has issued an advisory that a Piper PA 25 Pawnee crop-dusting aircraft was stolen from Ejido Queretaro, near Mexicali, Mexico, on Nov. 1. "Although there is currently no indication that this has any connection to terrorist activity," the TSA said, "the theft is cause for concern. Past information indicates that members of al-Qaida may have planned -- or may still be planning -- to disperse biological or chemical agents from cropdusting aircraft." The stolen aircraft is registered in Mexico and bears the tail number XBCYP. If you see the aircraft, the TSA says you should immediately contact the TSA General Aviation Hotline at (866) 427-3287, or contact your nearest office of the FBI. _______________________________________________ ARRL Santa Barbara Section List Mailer To Subscribe: mailto:arrlsb-request@mailman.qth.net?subject=subscribe To Post: mailto:arrlsb@mailman.qth.net Web site: http://www.qsl.net/arrlsb Administrator: mailto:arrlsb-admin@mailman.qth.net

2004 Nojoqui Tarantula Migration Dxpedition
by Marvin Johnston 20 Oct '04

20 Oct '04

QST QST QST Announcing the 2004 Nojoqui Tarantula Migration Dxpedition by K6SGH and K6TZ Club Station When: Saturday October 23rd and Sunday October 24th Where: Larsen Meadows at Camp Alegre in the San Ynez Mountains Which Bands: 10 through 20 meters...just look for the pileups Directions To Event: From Santa Barbara, take HWY 154 over San Marcos Pass. About 1.5 miles from the top, when you see the SECOND sign on the left saying RANCHO ALEGRE, CAMP WHITTIER. There will also be a K6TZ sign. Turn left there and follow the K6TZ signs up the road about 1.5 miles to LARSEN MEADOWS. Just follow the K6TZ signs. We will be monitoring 146.52 simplex so give us a call when you're near. Why: Each year, thousands of tarantulas brave countless dangers as they migrate to their ancestral breeding grounds somewhere in northern Santa Barbara county. The journey, which is believed to span some 50 miles across treacherous terrain and several county highways, is one of the most unusual mass migrations. Once thought to be only myth, the Nojoqui Tarantulas have recently been rediscovered and their great migration the source of scientific wonder and amazement. On the Internet, go to www.k6sgh.com and click on the Tarantula Migration link and read for yourself the strange and amazing events associated with these wonderful migrations. Hope to see you at Larsen Meadows and certainly on the various amateur bands throughout the weekend. For more info email k6sgh @ cox.net.

Sorry for the hiatus. I hadn't noticed that it was broken again. I removed EchoIRLP which probably was causing the trouble. Everything should be working now. I just managed to get a contact in Juno, Alaska over one of the reflectors, took a while of dialing around, uhhh. Please send me email anytime you find IRLP is not working.
