SK - WB6ADC Gear For Sale July 18
by Marvin 11 Jul '01

11 Jul '01

I just received this from Joe Moell. If anyone is interested in going down, let me know and maybe we can just carpool down. At this point, I plan on attending. ********************************* As you may have heard, long-time T-hunter Clarke Harris WB6ADC passed suddenly on Monday afternoon July 2 at his home in Torrance. He was 82. On the previous Sunday, Clarke was dehydrated and not feeling well. At the emergency room, doctors cleared him to go home with rehydration procedures, and on Monday afternoon he died from heart failure while taking a nap. No services were held. Donations to charity in Clarke's name can be sent to the Low Vision Center at St. Mary's Medical Center, 1055 Linden Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90813. Make checks payable to "Low Vision Center." It was the wish of Clarke and his wife Willy that the Fullerton Radio Club benefit from his ham radio equipment, as thanks for the many years of enjoyment that Clarke received from his membership in the club. The items listed below will be offered at a silent auction during the July 18 meeting of the club, with all proceeds to the club treasury. The Fullerton Radio Club meets at the Senior Center, 340 West Commonwealth Avenue in Fullerton (south side of Commonwealth in Amerige Park between Highland and Richman Avenues). Meeting and silent auction begin at 7:30 PM. The auction is open to FRC members and non-members alike. Please pass the word. Items are listed below in four groups. Manuals are available for many items, a list will be posted at the meeting. Information is available regarding which items were in recent use, and as many items as possible are being pre-tested, but all are being offered "as is, cash and carry." Checks will be accepted, payable to Fullerton Radio Club. Nothing will be sold before the meeting night.

Re: [Sbarc-list] SBARC QRP SIG WEEKEND
by AJSOENKE＠aol.com 08 Jul '01

08 Jul '01

Quick Question (unrelated to QRP Weekend, which is a great thing). If SBARC and/or ARES is called upon to serve as emergency communicators in the forest land, like for a wildfire, should we have funds onboard the VAN to purchase an ADVENTURE PASS. As a private individual member of ARES who could be called upon to travel on Forest Service roads during an emergency, should I be prepared to pay for the privelege?

SBARC QRP SIG WEEKEND
by Darryl A. Widman 07 Jul '01

07 Jul '01

QRP QRP QRP Hello QRPers. As I write this, we are now just 2 weeks away from our much anticipated QRP weekend. Starting on Friday, July 20, those of us who want a taste of self sufficiency, a chance to get away for a short time and an opportunity to go up to an elevation of over 4,000 feet and operate flea power Amateur Radio stations from batteries are going to have that chance. Figueroa Campground at Figueroa Mountain in the Los Padres National Forest is beckoning you. This will be your opportunity to get out of town and climb up to where the air is rarified and pure, where the smell of pine needles on the tall conifers wafts through the air and into your nostrils and where the smell of bacon sizzling as you climb out of the sack in the morning makes you glad you are alive. In addition to all the fun you are going to have working all those stations from that prime elevation location, think of all those other campers who will be totally blown away by all the antennas that they see. These other campers will be bringing their kids, who, for the first time in their lives, will be exposed to Amateur Radio. You just might be the one who got them hooked into the world's best hobby! You will need to bring with you everything that will sustain you for the weekend -- your shelter (car, van, tent, tarp), sleeping bag or blankets, air mattress, your food, eating utensils, cooking apparatus, first aid, all your radio gear (radio, key, microphone, earphones, coax, coax switch, antenna tuner, antenna, batteries, SWR indicator, misc. coax adapters, laptop, scratch paper, pen/pencil, license -- you know the routine. Oh, and one more thing -- Don't forget to bring your Adventure Pass. We will be in the National Forest and they require the Pass. The cost of the Pass is $5.00 per vehicle per day. So if you came up on Friday afternoon and left on Sunday afternoon, it would technically cost $15.00. However, if we talk to Park Ranger Helen Tarbit there, she might let us stay for just $10.00. If you enjoy these outings, you can purchase an Annual Pass for $30.00. You show your Pass as you enter the campground or when a Park Ranger comes around. You don't have an Adventure Pass? This is where you can pick one up: Big 5 Sporting Goods in the 5 Points Shopping Center Dodge City on Calle Real Far West Gun Supply on State Street Pacific Travel on Anapamu Mountain Air Sports on State Street S.B. Maritime Museum on Harbor Way Certain of the above locations will cut you a deal on the Annual Pass. In other words, you can buy an Annual Pass for $30.00 and a second one for just $5.00. Then two of you can split the $35.00 and have use of the forest for a year for only $17.50 apiece. Such a deal! I suggest you call ahead to see if they make that deal. That will eliminate the concern over our weekend. In case you have forgotten how to get to Figueroa Mountain, take Highway 154 (San Marcos Pass) to the little town of Los Olivos. Take the road to Figueroa Mountain from there. Remember, the campground takes no reservations -- it is on a First Come, First Served basis. I would suggest that you leave as early as possible on Friday and stake out the best site for us. Keep in mind, some of us will be putting up dipoles, some will be guying up verticals -- in other words, we will need space. I hope I have whet your appetite for this great time. We have been talking about it on the QRP Net and now the time has finally come. What a wonderful experience it will be -- in the outdoors in the summertime playing radio. WOW! Please verify that you will be there. Write me at my e-mail address and say: Count me in! 73 et gud QRP, Darryl Widman, KF6DI auditron(a)juno.com

NIST time survey
by Darryl A. Widman 28 Jun '01

28 Jun '01

Please take the time to go the NIST web site and take the survey. They want to know if you are using the services they provide on WWV and WWVH. I believe they are contemplating some changes (downsizing, etc.). If you value these sources of frequency standards, time and accuracy, it behooves you to go to their web site at nist.gov and click on the time and frequency services survey. Tell your friends, too, and let's keep WWV and WWVH on the air forever. Thank you for your time. Darryl Widman, KF6DI Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club

I received this on the usa2001ardf listserver, and thought it appropriate to post here! ******************************* I would like to let everyone know that www.eHam.net has created a discussion forum for youth and youth related items. If you are a young ham, or know of a young ham (or a youngster who is interested in Amateur Radio), or are involved with young Amateur Radio operators, please check this forum out and pass the word along! Perhaps this forum can be used to rile up some new blood in T-Hunting. 73, Brian, N5ZGT Albuquerque, NM _________________________________________________________________________ Boy Scouts of America Amateur Radio - N5ZGT Eagle Scout 12/6/96 ARRL QRP: NorCal #1700 QRP-L #580 AK/QRP #125 ASM - Troop 41 Packet: N5ZGT PBBS, 145.01 MHz OA Lodge 66 Albuquerque, New Mexico Yah-Tah-Hey-Si-Kess <-W-W-W-< Brother, Kappa Sigma Fraternity Please Visit my Homepage at: http://www.unm.edu/~brianm _________________________________________________________________________

I have an old 60W 150MH GE base station (Transistor receiver and Transmitter driver and tube PA) Desktop model that I would like to give to anyone who wants it. I'm cleaning out my garage and the radio is one of the things I have to get rid of. If anyone wants it, please call me at 682-5005 to be sure that I am home when you want to pick it up. thanks , Ed Morin W6SNI

Upcoming ARDF Meet on June 16
by Marvin 06 Jun '01

06 Jun '01

I will be attending, so if anyone wants to go down with me, just let me know. After the event, I usually have dinner with Joe and April and it is a great opportunity to find out what is happening in the world of ARDF!!! ************************** Schabarum Regional Park near Rowland Heights will be the site of southern California's next international-style on-foot 2-meter foxhunt on Saturday, June 16. This is an official training session for the ARDF Team Southern California, but it is free and open to everyone who wants to see and try the sport. A ham radio license and knowledge of radio equipment is not required. At least six members of the team are expected to attend, coming from Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, and Santa Barbara counties. Come out and meet some of the radio-athletes who will represent us at the First USA National ARDF Championships in Albuquerque later this summer. Since it's primarily for team training , the main course will be more difficult than previous ARDF sessions in this and other southern California venues. Standard international rules will be more closely followed. Total course lengths will be 5 to 10 kilometers, depending on age/gender division, with significant elevation changes. There will be a "beginner" course that's much shorter, with fewer hills. An optional 80-meter transmitter (3542 KHz) will also be on the air for you to try. Trails are primitive in some areas of the park, so wear sturdy shoes. All ages are welcome, but young children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Bring any 2-meter RDF "sniffing" gear you have. If you don't have any, just bring your HT or scanner. A limited number of RDF sets will be available for loan. Also be sure to bring anything you'll need while going after those radio foxes, such as munchies, bottled water and sunscreen. Topographic course maps will be available, so bring your own compass, protractor and pencil. Make sure all batteries are fresh. Practice 2-meter transmitters will go on the air around 11:30 AM, and the main 5-fox hunt will begin at 12:30 PM. There are picnic tables and BBQ grills nearby, so you can bring your lunch or cook up something if you wish. The park entrance is on the south side of Colima Road, just east of Azusa Avenue in Hacienda Heights. (Thomas Guide Pg678-G4) Entry fee for the park is $3 per vehicle, so carpooling would be a good idea. Upon passing through the entry gate, drive straight ahead (don't turn right) and continue to the end of the road (about 0.7 mile). Park in the last parking lot near the restrooms. The action will be just up the hill to your left. Look for the orange and white Orienteering flags and signs. Call K0OV on 146.970 simplex if you have trouble finding the site. For more information about ARDF, plus maps to guide you to this event, go to the Web site listed below. 73, Joe Moell K0OV USA ARDF Coordinator http://www.homingin.com If www.homingin.com doesn't work, use this: http://members.aol.com/homingin/index.html

by Marvin 05 Jun '01

05 Jun '01

Steve Gibson has described a Denial of Service attack against his site as well as the measures he did to neutralize it, infiltrate the hacker network, and a recommendation to install ZoneAlarm to protect against such things. A long article but WELL worth the time spent to read it. http://grc.com/dos/grcdos.htm
