Update on Coming Events
by Marvin Johnston 17 Oct '02

17 Oct '02

Here's an update on major events taking place in the Southwestern Division... Right Now: The 2003 ARRL Southwestern Division Convention website is "on the air". Check it out and download a registration form at: www.hamcon.org The Convention theme is "Focus Back on the Volunteer". Come on, get with it! Right Now: The ARRL is surveying its membership regarding which future on-line ARRL Certification and Continuing Education (C-CE) courses hams would be most likely to take. The list of possibilities ranges from antennas to VHF/UHF operation. The Web-based survey is now open for input. The survey period will end October 27. Log yourself into the members-only web page and visit http://www.arrl.org/members-only/cce/ccesurv.html Right Now: ARRL VHF/UHF Contesting and Awards Survey. Your input is requested on the topic of improving VHF/UHF/microwave contests and awards. To participate, download the survey form: http://www.arrl.org/contests/announcements/vhf-survey.pdf Then select the answer that best matches your position or situation. Please feel free to extend your remarks (use additional pages if necessary). Your detailed comments are very important. Then mail the form to ARRL Headquarters. Oct 17-20: The national Girl Scout Convention will be held in Long Beach from October 17-20 at the Long Beach Convention Center. The convention is aimed at GSA adults - council administrators and leaders, troop leaders, and Senior Scouts. There will be an Amateur Radio exhibit in the foyer that will be visited by 15,000 convention attendees. If you are willing to help staff the Amateur Radio exhibit, please contact Carina Lister, kf6zyy(a)arrl.net Oct 19-20: Scouting's annual Jamboree On The Air (JOTA) takes place Saturday October 19 through Sunday October 20 local time. For the first time, ARRL is requesting that any club or individual planning to be active during the 2002 JOTA activity register on the "Youth Skeds" page on the ARRL Web site. The idea is to provide a database of scheduled JOTA activity in advance of the event to help more scouting groups to participate in JOTA 2002. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Brownies and Venture Scouts soon will take to the airwaves in an effort to communicate with each other via Amateur Radio.

prolonging lead-acid battery life?
by NEV 08 Oct '02

08 Oct '02

Is there any REAL benefit using a pulse-type charger for lead-acid batteries to extend battery life, and prohibit the sulfation of the battery's lead plates? The products from this company (http://www.pulsetech.com/) claim as such. Thanks in advance, :-) neil KE6DCJ
