Fw: New Texas Bill seeks to "regulate wireless communication facilities."
by W6YN Don Milbury 06 Feb '01

06 Feb '01

--------- Forwarded message ---------- From: W6YN Don Milbury <w6yn(a)juno.com> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- The Official ARRL Santa Barbara Section E-mail List Server ______________________________________________ --------- Forwarded message ---------- From: TOM BLACKWELL <radio(a)airmail.net> I had both a phone call and an EMail from Jim Haynie today about a new bill in the Texas Legislature that would "regulate wireless communication facilities." Be aware that the ARRL is involved to protect the interests of amateurs on proposals like this. After all that was said to establish the Texas PRB-1 Law in 1999, I am surprised to see this proposal. It seems there are no limits to the misunderstandings by some members of the public about amateur radio, and about technology generally. I seriously doubt that a bill like this will be designated for a committee hearing. In fact, it has not been assigned to a committee, yet. There is no companion bill in the Senate. In Texas, it is said there is only one way to pass a Bill, but 1000 ways to kill one. I have experience doing both. Technology regulation has been an interest of mine for some time - - I handled the statements in the platform of my political party on investment in technology, on the internet, and on FCC policy (see the URL in my tag line, below). I spoke with the bill sponsor's office today. They tell me that their office has been approached by citizens who were concerned about towers in their neighborhoods. They say they expect to amend the bill. In the interest of studying the misconceptions that have led to this, I have offered to discuss this with these concerned citizens if they will contact me. I also discussed with their office the work that was done on the Texas PRB-1 Bill by Rep. Patricia Gray (D-Galveston) in 1999, which, I thought, settled the issue. Those wanting to comment to the sponsor, Rep. Robby Cook, should send EMail to his Legislative Aide, Amy Loos at amy.loos(a)house.state.tx.us Tell her that you want to see amateur radio excluded, and that if the bill proceeds to a hearing and the concerns with it are not worked out, that you expect to be personally present to testify in opposition. Request to be notified of the date and time of the hearing. It is my experience that this is the kind of message that gets the most attention at this stage of the game. Amateurs enjoy respect at the Texas Legislature because of the work on the PRB-1 Bill, measures involving license plates, and other issues. This is an opportunity for us maintain the respect that we have been given. Amateur radio is in this position because of the personal investment in equipment by individuals, which is used without charge, remuneration or profit, for public service. Amateurs have provided meaningful contributions for public safety. We can not do this if there are unreasonable restrictions on antennas, as would be proposed by those who do not understand the technology. It also seems some citizens are not acquainted with the 'spirit of ham radio' to provide these services in ways that are open and free on the public airwaves.

help: reverse antenna party
by - W1PR - 28 Jan '01

28 Jan '01

Any suggestions on how to go about a reverse antenna party? I want to sell for best offer (or donate to a legitimate charitable organization) my Wilson RB-45 base, TT-45 Tower, KLM-34 antenna, and Alliance rotator? The only stipulation is that the buyer/organization do the work of carrying it away. The tower is a crank up . I cannot do the physical work of carting it away so whoever wants it would have to organize a antenna party. Thanks and 73, Sam, WD6GYQ Northridge, CA _________________________________ Samuel Birken samiam(a)lafn.org samiam2(a)telocity.com _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

08 Jan '01

Hi all, I got an email with a subject "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" twice in last three days and read it once by accident. DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT!!!. Delete and destroy it. It puts a permanent moving spiral over most of your screen. I also have a fix. If you or someone you know needs the fix, call me. Bruce Gordon N6OLT

Fw: [ARRLSB] W6OBB ART BELL RETURNS IN RADIO SHAKEUP
by W6YN Don Milbury 04 Jan '01

04 Jan '01

--------- Forwarded message ---------- From: W6YN Don Milbury <w6yn(a)juno.com> ------------------------------------------------- The Official ARRL Santa Barbara Section E-mail List Server ______________________________________________ W6OBB ART BELL RETURNS IN RADIO SHAKEUP Radio sensation Art Bell is planing to stage a dramatic return to the nation's airwaves reclaiming his overnight slot with an expected 400+ station lineup. With legal dramas behind him [Bell sued a broadcaster for libel in a case that ended in settlement] and personal family concerns on the mend [his son was sexually assaulted by a school teacher that was carrying HIV], Bell inked a deal last week to return to the waves, according to sources. "He's rested. He's ready," says a source close to Bell, who will once again broadcast to millions from his home in the Nevada desert. Bell is expected to continue his trailblazing reporting -- 2001-style -- on science, earth changes and assorted religious themes. Bell has drawn strong criticism for airing predictions of imminent massive earthquakes in South California and was at the forefront of the Y2K computer madness Bell continues his relationship with syndicator PREMIERE -- with several key affiliate switches in play as this transmits. Bell will jump stations in the nation's #2 market, Los Angeles [darting from KABC to KFI, which is owned by PREMIERE's mothership CLEAR CHANNEL]; and it was not clear if Bell will return to WABC in New York, the nation's top talk outlet. One top ABC source cautions Bell's return to WABC is up in the air. "He's quit twice, and come back three times. In two years?" the executive questioned late Thursday. "He could do a first hand testimonial on time travel." ______________________________________________________ Amateur Radio - If you're not having fun, you are not doing it right!

USA ARDF Championships
by Marvin 03 Jan '01

03 Jan '01

It looks like the information on the US ARDF Championships have now been made public. More information is available on their web site at: http://www.egroups.com/files/abqardf/web/index.html Anyone interested in competing? If so, let me know and we can start some group training. Besides DFing and physical training, plan on attending Orienteering events to get familiar with reading these types of maps; very important!!! There are a couple of things to note. First, the competition will take place at about 7000 feet. That implies it would be a good idea to do some training at high altitude for about a week prior to the event. Of course that is in addition to the regular physical training schedule. Second, there will be both a 2M and an 80M competition. Equipment for 2M is easy but anyone planning on attending should also plan on building or obtaining an 80M DF receiver. Third, the frequencies and modulation will be: 145.565MHz?Primary 144.890MHz?Homing beacon MCW F2A, +/- 2 to 3.5 Khz 80 meter event: 3579.5KHz?Primary 3546.8KHz?Homing beacon CW (A1A)
