2022 Wings Over Camarillo - Call for volunteers.
by Avi Carmi 10 Jun '23

10 Jun '23

Hi all, Sorry for the delay in setting up the volunteer registration, I had to deal with a confluence of health and technical issues. 2022 Wings Over Camarillo I have not heard anything to the contrary, so I assume that everything will be the same, i.e. free entrance to the show, parking, hat, pancake breakfast, lunch, and all the water and soft drinks you can drink Stroll through the show and provide eyes/ears/comms Same as last year, we have the show director shadow, which should be a very exciting close-up assignment, you will have two radios: a commercial show radio and your ham radio. The Shadow will follow the show director and provide communication support. You are welcome to sign up for two consecutive Shadow shifts and stay with the show director for the entire day. Unless you are stationed at the comm trailer, plan on a lot of walking for four hours in the hot August sun. Bring your HT, headset/earpiece, a yellow shirt, communications vest (if you have one) hat, sunscreen, water, etc The Ham Radio assignments are password protected, click on the following link which includes the password: *https://woc.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/?id=63328&&job_password=ham73* <https://woc.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/?id=63328&&job_password=ham73> If you somehow end up at the top-level public landing page https://woc.volunteerlocal.com click on the "Sign up now" link, which will take you to the signup form, then enter *ham73* in the password field and click Submit Please do not share the password publicly as there are lots of nasty disruptive people out there :-( But do feel free to forward this to any ham operator club or group (SBARC, ARESLAX, etc) The instructions on the signup site are "generic", most do not apply to us, so please follow these instructions to sign up: 1- *MAKE SURE* to click on the "*view description*" as there are important assignment specific notes in there! Please do not sign up for a walking assignment if you cannot walk in the hot August sun. 2- Check off your desired assignment (or assignments, as long as they are not both AM or PM shifts, note that I disabled "overlap check" since schedules do overlap by an hour, you may still sign up for both AM and PM shifts) *NOTE: *only the currently* OPEN AVAILABLE *assignments are shown by the system, if you do not see a desired assignment, it means that it was taken If you cannot sign up for any other time slot/assignment, please contact me, and I'll see if I can arrange a swap. *NOTE: *the "gate" position can be an "add on" assignment for a color or a rover, it entails coming in early and sitting at Gate 7 for about two hours to check-in ham volunteers, then over to the comm trailer for the briefing and to your primary assignment 3- Scroll down to the bottom or the form 4- Fill in your email, name, phone 5- The *call sign* field should automagically show up after you check a "Ham Radio" job checkbox (and other unrelated fields should disappear) 6- Select "*Avi Carmi K6AVI*" for Job Captain and "*Ham Radio Operators*" for the Group/Organization from the respective pulldown lists. These are required fields, but not enforced, so please be sure to select. 7- Fill in your birthdate if under 18 (don't you wish?) 8- Then check the box and fill your name under the waiver 9- And finally, click the "*Sign Up To Volunteer*" button You should receive a confirmation email, unfortunately, it will come from Stephen, the show's volunteer coordinator, not me. (also I do not get any notification that anyone signed up, only he does...) A generic map, our sector map, and the parking permit *WILL SOON BE* available on your volunteer profile page which is accessible by clicking the "Check your status here" button on https://woc.volunteerlocal.com or go to https://woc.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/self_check.php I will send more detailed directions/instructions prior to the show, but if you have any questions/concerns/comments, please let me know 73, -avi -- avi(a)carmi.us 805-616-2636 <http://voice.google.com/calls?a=nc,%2B18056162636> <http://voice.google.com/calls?a=nc,%2B18056162636> <http://voice.google.com/calls?a=nc,%2B18056162636> K6AVI https://avicarmi.com

FCC Enforcement Action in California
by Levi C. Maaia, K6LCM 05 Jun '23

Been a while since I have read about the FCC DF’ing a station for interference. LCM On June 5, 2023 at 12:15:15, ARRL Web site (memberlist(a)arrl.org) wrote: SB SPCL @ ARL $ARLX005 ARLX005 Licensee Hit With $24,000 Fine for Jamming Net, Failure to ID: FCC ZCZC AX05 QST de W1AW Special Bulletin 5 ARLX005 From ARRL Headquarters Newington CT June 5, 2023 To all radio amateurs SB SPCL ARL ARLX005 ARLX005 Licensee Hit With $24,000 Fine for Jamming Net, Failure to ID: FCC An investigation by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) results in a large fine against a California amateur radio license holder. A Notice of Apparent Liability Forfeiture (NALF) for $24,000 has been filed against Phillip J. Beaudet, N6PJB, of Burney, California. According to the filing, the penalty is for Beaudet "willfully and repeatedly interfering with the radio communications of the Western Amateur Radio Friendship Association (WARFA) while it was attempting to hold a regularly scheduled net and for failing to provide station identification on amateur radio frequencies." FCC agents used direction finding techniques during November and December of 2022 to track the interfering signals to Beaudet's home station. Agents "heard him playing recordings on 3.908 MHz that caused interference to the ongoing WARFA net while failing to provide his assigned amateur call sign," the document stated. NNNN /EX

My dual band antenna broke off I the drive in today.
by Dave Schmidt 17 May '23

17 May '23

Heard a clunk on the way in today. Figured my Brennan broke off at either the loading coil or base. Surprised that it actually broke a bit over an inch above the base coil. Tram 1180 and was about 5 years old. Guessing it in the 70-80 mph commute for years took its toll. Dave Ai6vx

They will return Wednesday night.Janene Scully / Noozhawk photo More than 70 veterans spanning from World War II to the Vietnam War took off Monday morning for a whirlwind tour of memorials in Washington, D.C. Honor Flight of the Central Coast <https://www.honorflightccc.org/>marked its first-ever charter flight, the largest group, and the inauguralSanta Maria Public Airport<http://www.santamariaairport.com/>departure since the program began 10 years ago. “This is exciting for Santa Maria, because now we’re tripling the number of vets we can take at one time,” said Jay Conner, a Central Coast Honor Flight board member. “It’s just an amazing group.” Veterans climbed aboard theAllegiant Air<http://www.allegiantair.com/>charter flight after 10 a.m. Monday for the trek to the East Coast, with the aircraft departing after theSanta Maria Fire Department<https://www.cityofsantamaria.org/city-government/departments/fire-services>provided a dramatic water cannon over the plane. This week’s mission marked the inaugural use of a charter flight, meaning the group will travel directly to Baltimore, Maryland, avoiding any delays involved in having to transfer planes. This was the program’s first time at the Santa Maria airport after previous Central Coast Honor Flights left from and returned to the San Luis Obispo Airport. “Everybody’s been phenomenal at the airport,” Conner said of the Santa Maria airport’s personnel. “They’re excited about it.” The Tour of Honor group includes two World War II veterans, four from the Korean War and 68 from the Vietnam War. Some of the guardians acting as escorts also had served in the military. The Santa Maria Elks Lodge hosted Honor Flight veterans and guardians earlier this month at a preflight luncheon.

More than 70 veterans and their escorts will return Wednesday night after a whirlwind tour of memorials in Washington, D.C.Janene Scully / Noozhawk photo Previously, those luncheons numbered 50, but for this trip they hosted more than 250 people. While they needed one bus for prior Honor Flight trips, they will have three buses this time. “Everything is three times as many,” Conner said. After spending Monday night in Baltimore, the group will begin tours of various memorials built as a tribute to their service through the years. While veterans fly for free, escorts and guardians, who normally are younger family members or friends, pay approximately $1,500. “They’re giving that veteran the honor to be their guardian,” said Conner, who helps veterans by pushing wheelchairs or providing other assistance as needed. “You’re helping escort the veteran because it’s their event. It’s their tour,” Conner said. After pausing Honor Flight missions due to the pandemic, Conner said the larger aircraft will allow the organization to make its way through the waiting list. Central Coast Honor Flight plans another trip this fall, but the dates had not been set as of Monday. “The most important thing that I can tell anybody that wants to go on it is to go onHonorFlightCC.org <http://honorflightcc.org/>and fill out an application, because if we don’t know you want to go, you’re not going to go,” Conner said. “You’ve got to fill out the application to get on the list.” TAGGED:Local News <https://www.noozhawk.com/tag/local_news/>
