GRR receiver upgrade
by Bill Talanian 09 Sep '22

09 Sep '22

Distribution: 121.5 GRR Receiver Wide Area Deolyment For several decades SBARC has sponsored monitoring of the emergency beacon channel on 121.5. This was originally prompted and set up with L-Tronics receivers at several locations. Today we have a blend of L-Tronics and FAA 121.5 GRR receivers. The L-Tronics receivers shall in time be replaced by GRR receivers. Presently we have two GRR receivers in sefvice, one at UCSB, and one at Santa Ynez Peak. A third unit shall be installed at the La Vigia TCF facility followed by a fourth unit at either La Cumbre or Diablo. This program is being privately funded by w1uuq for as a public service benefit for public safety.

CORES Confusion
by Levi C. Maaia, K6LCM 19 Jul '22

19 Jul '22

The FCC announced recently that it has retired the legacy CORES system and is instructing licensees to migrate to a new email-account-based system. The ARRL Letter today discusses this. Has anyone tried migrating their FRN over to the new FCC CORES system? I didn't have any issues creating the new email/username-based account and associating my FRN. However, I can't seem to do much else. What is the system supposed to do? It looks like most of the functions that I would ever need to use – like renewing a license or changing my address – remain in the FRN-account-based ULS anyway. And that system is still accessible, as of today. LCM Levi C. Maaia, K6LCM www.levimaaia.com +1.805.604.5384

Anyone know? Almost certainly home-built. Note paper labels on meters and switches and the absence of brand logos. Hams built a lot of their own gear in those days. Receiver is on the left, main tuning dial looks like it was cannibalized from a fairly high-end Zenith console. Back then many home console radios had pretty decent shortwave tuners, often with bandspread suitable for ham bands. Zenith was the Cadillac. Keep in mind that HF phone was AM, not SSB. The whole receiver could have been salvaged from a big console radio and repackaged. Transmitter is on the right. Large lever knob is likely the bandswitch. Center black nameplate on transmitter kind of looks like it might possibly have been military but 1938 is too early for surplus military gear. I suspect it's completely homebrew. Microphone could be Astatic JT-30. Speaker cabinet is homebrew. -- Jay Hennigan - jay(a)west.net Network Engineering - CCIE #7880 503 897-8550 - WB6RDV

Ham Radio and Operation Deep Freeze
by David Hackleman 02 May '22

02 May '22

Hi all, The History Guy's latest video posted to YouTube highlights two teenaged hams' critical role in keeping lonely Antarctic research station personnel in touch with their loved ones in the 1950's. It is a quintessential example of why we do what we do, though this is the first time I have heard about it. The part about ham radio doesn't start until 7:20, but what precedes it provides important context. At 16:49 in length, it is worth watching if you have the time. Here is the URL: https://youtu.be/uaTm_LUifUI
