Vasquez Rocks Orienteering Event
by Marvin Johnston 19 Nov '01

19 Nov '01

Hi all, The Los Angeles Orienteering Club (LAOC) will be putting on an A meet orienteering event on December 8-9. They would like to have two radio operators for communications between the registration area and the remote start for Saturday. I would like to have 4 radio operators so that those helping out will also be able to run the course. If anyone is interested in helping out, please get in contact with me. As most of us have learned, orienteering skills are *essential* to being able to compete in ARDF. It is not too soon to be practicing for the US ARDF Championships that will be held in Georgia on April 17 - 19, 2002. More information about this meet can be found at: http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Trails/6320/la_vasquez.html More information about other West Coast Orienteering events can be found at: http://www.geocities.com/o_sconet/sched_all.html More information about the 2002 US ARDF Championships in Georgia can be found at: http://www.mindspring.com/~sam.smith/gaoc/Radio-O/Radio.htm

SBARC ARDF Hunt
by Marvin Johnston 17 Nov '01

17 Nov '01

SBARC ARDF Hunt Saturday, November 10, 2001 This 2 Meter event took place at Lake Los Carneros (about 6 miles north of Santa Barbara, CA) and was run using our newly finished Orienteering map for the park. If the course was run on the shortest path, the total distance was about 2.4 Km (1.5 miles) long. The course was set up with the first two transmitters fairly close together with longer runs required for the last three transmitters. The approximate distances were: Start to #2 - 200 Meters #2 to #1 - 250 Meters #1 to #4 - 500 Meters #4 to #3 - 550 Meters #3 to #5 - 750 Meters #5 to Finish - 150 Meters The results were: Sergei Zarubin 32 Minutes 5 Transmitters, Advanced Jay Hennigan, WB6RDV 48 Minutes 5 Transmitters, Advanced Scott Moore, KF6IKO 68 Minutes 3 Transmitters, Advanced Dick Dabney, W5UFZ 131 Minutes 1 Transmitter, Advanced David & Karen 150 Minutes 0 Transmitters, Beginner Sergei, from the Ukraine, came to the US to participate in the US ARDF Championships that were held last August in Albuquerque, NM where he took first and second in the 80M and 2M competitions. Jay is a well known t-hunter in the Santa Barbara area and this was his first ARDF event. Scott also participated in the Albuquerque Championships where he took second place in the 80M competition. Dick, from Albuquerque, was out visiting his family and came up to participate. David and Karens came up from San Diego and this was their first ARDF event. We had one 80 Meter transmitter up and running, but it failed before anyone had a chance to go after it. After the event, we enjoyed one of our Santa Barbara Style Tri-tip BBQs. Many thanks to Daryl (KF6DI) and Dennis (WB6OBB) for helping out at the start and finish, and to Frank and Karen Caplan for preparing and cooking the Tri-tip BBQ! Marvin Johnston, KE6HTS

09 Nov '01

SBARC ARDF Hunt Saturday, November 10, 2001 The Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club will be sponsoring another Southern California On-Foot ARDF hunt on November 10th, 2001. ARDF (Amateur Radio Direction Finding), also called Radio Orienteering, is a timed event where 5 transmitters are hidden and competitors use radio direction finding equipment to locate them. This free informal event will be held on Saturday, November 10th at Lake Los Carnaros Park in Goleta, CA. Bring your two-meter hand-held or scanner plus a portable beam, attenuator, and compass if you have them. A limited amount of RDF gear will be available for loan. An orienteering map at a scale of 5000:1 was just completed of the area and will be available for participants. Several people who competed at the 2001 US ARDF Championships are also expected to be attending including Sergei Zarubin of Ukraine, who won gold on the 80m competition and silver on the 2m competition in the M21 (prime) division. Practice transmitters will go on the air around 11:00 with the main 2M transmitter hunt starting at noon. There will also be at least one 80M transmitter on the air. A tri-tip BBQ will follow (reservations requested) at a cost of 3.50 per person. Talk-in will be on the K6TZ repeater; 146.79(-), pl 131.8. Location - This event will take place at Lake Los Carnaros and will start at the Stow House Parking Lot just off of Los Carnaros Road. From US 101 about 1 mile north of Goleta, take the Los Carnaros exit, head north about ¼ mile and turn right into the parking lot.There should be plenty of free parking. Transmitters - There will be five transmitters, each transmitting on 146.565 MHz in round robin style for 1 minute each. Each transmitter will be identified by an Orange/White Orienteering control flag. Course - Orienteering maps of the area will be available at a scale of 5000:1. The course itself will be between 2 miles and 3 miles and can easily be completed by walking in well under the 2 hour time limit. Transmitters will be at least 200 yards from each other. Classes - Beginner and Advanced. Teams will be allowed with the condition that only one DF unit be used per team and the people on the team stay together. For more information, contact Marvin Johnston, KE6HTS, at marvin(a)rain.org.

Tater People
by Marvin Johnston 04 Nov '01

04 Nov '01

Some people never seem motivated to participate, but are just content to watch while others do the work. They are called "Speck Taters". Some people never do anything to help, but are gifted at finding fault with the way others do the work. They are called "Comment Taters". Some people are very bossy and like to tell others what to do, but don't want to soil their own hands. They are called "Dick Taters". Some people are always looking to cause problems by asking others to agree with them. It is too hot or too cold, too sour or too sweet. They are called "Agie Taters". There are those who say they will help, but somehow just never get around to actually doing the promised help. They are called "Hezzie Taters". Some people can put up a front and pretend to be someone they are not. They are called "Emma Taters". Then there are those who love others and do what they say they will. They are always prepared to stop whatever they are doing and lend a helping hand. They bring real sunshine into the lives of others. They are called "Sweet Taters". If you know any "Sweet Taters", send them this!!
