by Marvin 20 Jun '01

20 Jun '01

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 _________________________________________________________________________

Radio
by Ed Morin 20 Jun '01

20 Jun '01

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

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

Australian Radio Classes
by Marvin 31 May '01

31 May '01

This is just for the sake of comparison between what is required in the US and what is required in Australia. Take a look at the last paragraph!!! ***************************************** 2001 Amateur Radio NOVICE Classes* --- Starting Tuesday 5rd June 2001 --- by the North East Radio Group, Inc. Melbourne, Australia Where: Mactier Golf Club rooms at the Simpson Army Barracks, Macleod, (Melway ref 20-F7), Victoria, Australia When: Tuesday nights for 14 weeks, 7.30~10pm, with exams to be held in September. Coverage: Introductory radio theory, amateur regulations, (and optional Morse Code practice), all to Novice level. Fees: There is a fee for the classes which includes NERG membership and the chance to repeat classes at a later date if required at no extra cost. (Concessions are available). The authorised examination body, the Wireless Institute of Australia, charges separate exam fees of around $25 each for regulations and theory, and $20 for Morse code. There is no age restriction for obtaining an amateur license in Australia. For further information please call: Stephen Warillow, VK3JNH, at swarrillow(a)hotmail.com or, Mark Harrison, VK3BYY, at vk3byy(a)qsl.net (or call (03) 9283-7534 (work hours) ) Or, visit the introductory class at 7.30 PM on Tuesday 5th June at the address above. * An amateur radio license is required by law to operate an amateur radio transmitting station. Amateur operators have greater privileges than other radio operators, including access to many more frequencies, higher power, and the right to build their own radio transmitters. The Novice license is the entry level that gets you on the air with the minimum of fuss.

Memorial Day Ride
by Paul Cronshaw, D.C. 29 May '01

29 May '01

Ray Ford and I took a quick mountain ride today across West Camino Cielo, down Refugio Canyon to El Cap. It was great to see OBB's repeater antenna positioned on the lower end of the big blue and white antenna. This was a shakedown trip to test some BOB trailers and a new idea called "bikepacking" IMO this is a way to go and has some advantages over panniers. Check out the photos of today's journey which includes one of the great downhill rides, elevation drop of 4000 feet in 14 miles, 27 miles. GO to http://www.sb-outdoors.org search on "west camino cielo". Happy riding. Paul Cronshaw DC KF6TRT

SBARC May Program
by Alan J Soenke 08 May '01

08 May '01

Old Timers' Night - May 18th - Location: Goleta Union Schools Board Room, 401 N Faiview This is our annual salute to the old-timers night at SBARC. This year we are going to ask you old-timers to share a story with us during the meeting. A three to five minute short story (or tall tale) about your first contact, your first rig, an unusual contact (or mode) in the 'old days', a memorable QSO , whatever you think we'd enjoy hearing about to get the feel of what it was like when you were a fairly new ham. Plus, Carl Stengel, W6JEO, was some never-before-seen video of mid-1980s vintage Hamfests! See how many people you can recognize! If you have an 'antique' rig, component, photo, etc., bring it along. I'll bet there'll be people at the meeting who have never seen the glow of a big fat old tube! This is also the night we collect the Project Linus blankets, so bring your donations to the meeting to add to our display. Of course, we'll always have good raffle prizes and our special ($1 per ticket) prize is a portable CD player/AM/FM/cassette player "boom box" which would make a perfect gift or fit right in your workshop!

National Foxhunting Weekend coming soon
by Marvin 06 May '01

06 May '01

FYI, I just received this from Joe. ***************** It's springtime and hams around the country are moving their radio activities outside. Plan now to get out of the shack and take part in the CQ Magazine National Foxhunting Weekend (NFW), May 12-13, 2001. It's a time when foxhunters from around the country will go on their favorite kind of RDF adventure. Perhaps it will be a mobile T-hunt. When you set out in your RDF-equipped vehicle, you never know where you'll end up and you don't know what you'll find. Other hams prefer their foxhunting to be all on foot in a big park. They call it foxtailing, radio-orienteering or ARDF. There is an internationally recognized set of rules for this kind of hunt, which takes place in about 30 countries around the world. Stateside hams will host competitors from some of these countries at the First USA ARDF Championships in Albuquerque, New Mexico beginning July 31 (See article in QST Magazine, May 2001). For the NFW, your club can make up its own transmitter hunting rules. The most important thing is to make plans now for some sort of transmitter hunting on or around that weekend. You might want to follow the example of foxhunters in Atlanta, who recently held construction parties to build 80-meter radio-orienteering gear for woodland hunts that they will be having throughout the spring and summer. More information about the NFW, plus photos and stories of last year's weekend, are in the May 2001 issue of CQ Magazine. There's also more information about foxhunting and the NFW at my Web site: www.homingin.com Besides basic information about the sport and suitable equipment for both mobile and on-foot hunting, there are ideas for NFW activities and a form for reporting them afterwards. Happy Hunting! 73, Joe Moell K0OV
