WB9KMO ATV Repeater Status
by rod＠sbatv.org 02 Jun '04

02 Jun '04

ATVSIG, The ATV repeater is back on the air and the transmitter is working as well as ever. Please send me reception reports. The ATN receive link from Orange County is working fine, but the transmit link is still being worked on. The SSTV repeater on 145.75 is still being rebuilt. We intend all to be in good working order in time for the Field Day event. I still have conflicts with the Tuesday night ATV Net timing, so will be unable to run the net until mid-July. If you want to become active in ATV or SSTV, feel free to send me an email or give me a call. I'd be glad to help you. 73, Rod WB9KMO

by Tom Saunders 02 Jun '04

02 Jun '04

SBARC Members SBARC will participate in Field Day June 25 to June 27. The location is Elings Park. See the Field Day Page on www.sbarc.org for directions to the site. The schedule is : Setup Friday, June 25 starting at noon and ending with pizza and other goodies. Operate Saturday, June 26 11:00 AM until Sunday, June 27 11:00 AM. Teardown and Celebration Picnic Sunday afternoon. We will have a planning dinner meeting Friday, June 11 at the Turnpike IHOP. The no host (u-pay) dinner will begin at 6:30 PM. If you cannot make the 6:30 time or you have other dinner plans, you are welcome to join us later. All SBARC members, family, and future members are welcome to attend the planning meeting. Also, all SBARC members are welcome to participate in Field Day Activities. SBARC has done well in Field Day by placing sixth in the 3A category last year and seventh the year before. We also welcome hams that have never been on the air before or have not had any contest experience. One of the missions of Field Day is training operators and improving skills. Elings Park is a great place to do it. It is easy to get to and has great views of the mountains, city, and ocean but with great radio propagation and away from power lines. Members are welcome to picnic and camp there. For more information, please email me at n6yx(a)sbarc.org. 73 from Tom Saunders, N6YX

ARRL Newsletter
by Marvin Johnston 14 May '04

14 May '04

The following article appeared in the recent ARRL Letter. If you are willing to help out at the Championships, please send me an email! Thanks! Marvin, KE6HTS *************** The ARRL Letter Vol. 23, No. 20 May 14, 2004 *************** ==>USA ARDF CHAMPIONSHIPS COMING TO CALIFORNIA IN MID-JUNE Amateur Radio Direction Finding (ARDF) enthusiasts across the US are gearing up for the fourth annual national ARDF Championships next month. ARRL ARDF Coordinator Joe Moell, K0OV, says, the sport--also known as radio-orienteering or foxtailing--is an all-on-foot "adventure in the woods" to see who can track down and find the most hidden transmitters in the shortest time. The Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club (SBARC) <http://www.sbarc.org> will host the competition. Radio-orienteers from all over the country plus visitors from abroad are expected to attend. Moell anticipates a mix of experts and newcomers who aspire to be future champions. He says equipment need not be elaborate or expensive. "Most beginners do very well by augmenting their handheld VHF transceivers with simple Yagi antennas made out of a steel measuring tape and PVC pipe from the hardware store," he said. For "closing in," he says an offset RF attenuator consisting of some $15 worth of small parts will knock down the signal and keep the receiver's S-meter within its scale. "Plans are on the Web <http://members.aol.com/joek0ov/offatten.html>, and kits are available, so warm up your soldering iron," he adds. The ARDF competitive courses are open to anyone of any age and at any foxhunting skill level. No Amateur Radio license is needed. Medals in the event will be awarded in five age categories for males and four for females, in accordance with International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) rules <http://members.aol.com/homingin/intlfox.html#rules>. Heading up the USA ARDF Championships is Marvin Johnston, KE6HTS, a medalist at the last two USA ARDF Championships. An optional training camp with map-and-compass orienteering kicks off the ARDF action June 12-13. The main program gets under way Wednesday, June 16. The 2-meter competition takes place Friday, June 18. The 80-meter competition is the next day. The California events end just in time for final selection of ARDF Team USA 2004 members, who will travel to the Czech Republic for the 12th ARDF World Championships September 7-12. More than 200 participants representing two dozen or more countries are expected to turn out for the event. Moell says Team USA's positions will be filled based on performances in this year's national championships in California and in last year's national championships in Ohio. There's more information on the 2004 USA ARDF Championships on the SBARC Web site <http://www.sbarc.org/ardf/index.shtml>. A downloadable registration form and additional information are on Moell's "Homing In" Web site <http://www.homingin.com>.--Joe Moell K0OV

ARDF Practice Saturday
by Marvin Johnston 14 May '04

14 May '04

Just a heads up; those of us active in ARDF are finally in town this weekend for the ARDF practice at Lake Los Carnaros. The time is 9:00 AM until 11:00 AM or until everyone has found the transmitters and returned to the finish. Depending on what people want to do, we sometimes head over to Rusty's for a pizza afterwards. I will be setting out the transmitters so the others can practice for the US ARDF Championships. This will be a 2M hunt with perhaps one 80M transmitter set out so people can test out their equipment and/or find out what it is like to hunt on 80M. If you need to borrow equipment, let me know. All you will basically need is an HT since we have a number of 2M Tape Measure Beam antennas as well as some offset attenuators. If your HT doesn't have a BNC connector, you will need to bring along an adapter. And on the subject of the US ARDF Championships, I *really* need some more help. The championships will be from Wednesday, June 16 through Saturday, June 19. If you can help the entire event or just a day or two, please get in contact with me. Thanks! Marvin, KE6HTS
