ARRLSBCLUBS - Helping Your Club Grow and Prosper.

ARRLSBCLUBS - Helping Your Club Grow and Prosper. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Art, Thanks for your reply. I don't envy you doing all of that driving. I bet you didn't get more sleep than those guys that stayed up all night. I thought I would let you know the Estero Radio Club, Inc. has for the past three years, entered a float in the Cayucos 4th. of July Parade. There is a picture of the one we entered two years ago on our web page. We made minor changes and entered it again last year and we won 1st. place for these two entries. This year we entered a float depicting the Piedras Blancas Lighthouse as our club is dedicated to helping restore it. Our float came in second place but since the parade we have been asked by several clubs and organizations to enter in other parades and even loan them our lighthouse for their theme program. I have a picture of this year's float and I'll send it to you. We are participating in the National Lighthouse/Lightship weekend on Aug. 3 and 4 and again on the International Lighthouse/Lightship weekend on Aug. 17 and 18. We set up a station at the Piedras Blancas Lighthouse which is about 6.5 miles North of San Simeon (Hearst Castle). Last year we operated at the Port San Luis Lightstation but the security is too restrictive as it is on the road to the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. If you are interested in seeing a "Lighthouse" operation, let me know and I'll see you get on the site either of the days listed. The purpose of this operation is to let the world know about these great landmarks and what is being done to preserve them. We will be doing this in conjunction with the Bureau of Land Management. We keep Rob Griffin informed on our activities as we are an "ARRL Special Service Club" and we are proud of our abilities to keep our club alive and active. I hope to bring our web site up to date in the next week or so and the activities page will show pictures of what we have been doing for the past three years. We passed out 250 of the Archie Comics along the parade route this past 4th. which is one way we hope to get more interest in ham radio by the young people. We plan to start classes in radio construction starting with crystal sets and going into low power two way on the AM band. This is how we want to interest the students and their parents in becoming involved in radio. 73 and have a good summer. Jim Palmer W6FOB Check our web site at: www.sloradio.net

Sync on Green Monitors
by Rodney S Fritz 27 Jun '02

27 Jun '02

Hi, Does anyone out there have a Sync on Green monitor they don't need, at least for a short time? I have a special project that requires one to set up a computer, then I may not need it any more. Sync on Green monitors often have 3, 4 or 5 BNC connectors on them. Sometimes, they have normal VGA connectors, but all VGA monitors are not Sync on Green monitors. Yes, I know it's very confusing. If you give me the manufacturer and Model Number, I can find out if it supports Sync on Green. If you think you have one to loan, give away or sell, please call me at 886-3191. In the meantime, enjoy this fine weekend we're having. 73, Rod WB9KMO
