SBARC-LIST EMAIL/INFO Delays!
by AD6EZ＠aol.com 08 Apr '01

08 Apr '01

Hi Folks - The below information regarding a Slow Speed Code Practice Net on 40 meters that I sent you about 2 weeks ago was delayed over a week, or so it seemed to me! I used the SBARC-List server and that has happened to me before. I am re-sending it to you in case that you failed to receive it. The information on this Slow-Code net was originally sent out by the ARRL and if you are interested in some good code practice and/or want to improve your code speed this will be a great way to do it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------- Slow Speed Code Practice Net on 40 meters: The Metro Amateur Radio Club's Slow Speed Code Practice Net meets on the second, third, and fourth Wednesday of each month at 7 PM Central (currently 0100 UTC) on 7.138 MHz (plus or minus QRM). Listen for "CQ MAC" and send your call sign at your speed. The net will QRS to match the speed of the slowest op. FISTS members are free to exchange numbers with other participants. Net control is Philip, K9PL. For more information, send e-mail to mac(a)qsl.net or visit the MAC Web site, http://www.qsl.net/mac . 73 de Denny AD6EZ<>< 73 es God Bless de Denny AD6EZ <>< Goleta, CA

New CW Ops and CW Fans
by AD6EZ＠aol.com 08 Apr '01

Dear CW Ops ... Phil W6OQX and myself, AD6EZ, are thinking about starting up another "round" of the "POKER" CW net -- (Slow-Pokers). This net was set up originally about 2 years ago to help folks like myself that were needing to improve and increase their code copy and sending. It was a lot of fun and I eventually passed my 20-wpm test for my Extra. Several of you have asked me to restart the Poker net and so Phil and I would be very happy to do so if there was enough interest to make it worthwhile. It benefits no one if no one checks in! And just remember, "No One" already has his 20-wpm! (:8^>) The code speed on the net will be at YOUR speed. So if someone checks in at 12-wpm and you work at 5-wpm then wait your turn and try to copy what you can until you check in -- then the speed will be reduced to 5 or 6 wpm for you and other listening in. I need to hear back from you ASAP by Email if you would like to see the Poker Net start up again. That means, you are willing to check in when you are able to even if it is just to say hello. You would not be just helping yourself but others listening as well. Call me, Denny, at 968-0221 ----------------------------- The next code class begins on May 5th at 7:30pm at the S. B. County Public Health Admin. bldg. at 300 N. San Antonio Road. If you would like to attend, if just for practice, or know someone wanting to pass their 5-wpm test and have fun learning, please call me at 968-0221. 73 es God Bless de Denny AD6EZ <>< Goleta, CA PS - If you are a member of the SBARC-List server you may be receiving two copies of this email.

Beginners T-Hunt - Change in Starting Time for April
by Marvin 08 Apr '01

08 Apr '01

Hi all, The Beginner's T-Hunt will be starting two hours earlier this month. Starting time will be at 1:00PM on Saturday, April 14, out at the Stow House Parking lot. Registration will open up at 12:30PM and a practice transmitter will go on the air sometime around noon. There will be five 2M transmitters on a course that will probably be around two miles. There will also be at least one 80M transmitter for those who would like to try hunting on 80M. The rules will be simple: 2 hour time limit, and multiple people can go together as long as they stay together and only use one DF receiver. A hamburger BBQ will follow the event rather than the usual pizza at Rusty's. The cost for the BBQ will be $3.50 per person and will be all-you-can-eat-til-its-gone :)! If you are planning on attending, it would be appreciated if you would let Dave Jacobs (969-9235) K9KBX or myself (687-8881) know. Dave does not currently have Internet access but I can be reached at either marvin(a)rain.org or ke6hts(a)sbarc.org. We are planning on enough food for about 15 - 20 people as of right now. I've also gotten word that at least three other members of the US ARDF team who competed in China will be attending; Bob Frey, and Richard and Jay Thompson. Jay was recently written up on the ARRL Members Only web page at http://www.arrl.org/members-only/extra/features/2001/04/02/1/. We will also have many of the people from So. California attending who will be competing at the US ARDF Championships in Albuquerque July 31 - August 4. This will be a wonderful opportunity to have some fun as well as meet some people who are front runners in helping to publicize ARDF to the US.

Contact with WA6WZO
by Paul Cronshaw, D.C. 06 Apr '01

To Fellow SBARC members, I have returned from a great family vacation in Mammoth.... skiing was great. :) While there I checked in each night at 9 PM on the BARC - Bishop Amateur Radio Club's Net. One of the regulars also checking in was Fried (last name??) - WA6WZO. I had an opportunity to get to know him and found out he is the SouthWest Regional Director. He sends his best to our club and hopes to make it to SBARC's HAMfest in August . Paul Cronshaw DC KF6TRT SBARC-list Administrator

80M QRM
by Marvin 06 Apr '01

06 Apr '01

I got this from the Heathkit Listserver, and thought it might be worth passing on. ********** Check 3.525 and 3.558 in the FM mode for telephone modem signals. A couple years ago discount stores and cable companies sold these modems which plug into a wall receptacle and transmitted for miles. You plug your phone into one and located a second unit in another room or garage to extend your phone line without wires. These are manufactured in China and are intruding into the ham bands again. If you hear these signals report your log to the ARRL at w1aw(a)info.org Cable companies recalled these units and the 80M band was free again of these signals. Now they are coming back...we could use your help. Make your log report short with a signal strength report and times. If you listen long enough you will be able to hear two way phone conversations. I found my neighbor using one and told her about all the gossip I overheard and she quickly unplugged the units. Dan, ni9y(a)arrl.net

Albuquerque championship registration deadlines
by Marvin 19 Mar '01

19 Mar '01

Date: March 17, 2001 To: Potential 2001 USA ARDF Championships Participants From: 2001 USA ARDF Championships organizing staff Subject: Registration Deadline and Event Update Response to the 2001 USA ARDF Championships call for participation has been great! The number of early registrations was approximately twice what the organizing committee expected. We have received registrations from individuals and teams all over the United States, as well as Australia, and are expecting registrations from China as well! The good news is we already have enough registered participants to defiantly go ahead with the event. The bad news is, the organizing committee is beginning to worry we may end up with too many participants registering at the last minute. Event organizers will soon need to make several commitments on long lead-time items that are tied to the number of participants. These include room accommodations, bus size, t-shirts, food, etc. To insure a well-organized and trouble-free event, the organizing committee has decided to set the following registration deadlines: ==> May 1, 2001 - 50% deposit on event fees and completed registration form. ==> June 1, 2001 - All event fees paid in full. Your understanding and cooperation is greatly appreciated. However, if meeting any of the deadlines above poses a hardship, please contact the 2001 USA ARDF Championships organizing committee via email at abqardf(a)yahoogroups.com and will do what we can on a case-by-case basis - we want to include as many interested ARDFers as possible. Please pass this information to your ARDF / T-Hunting friends, too. We are looking forward to hosting this event for ARDFers and T-Hunters across the USA and the world, and hope to see you in Albuquerque! 73, Brian, N5ZGT
