VCARC will be hosting a 'µField Day' at the Dudley House Oct 29th 11am - 3pm in Ventura
by Dave Schmidt 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

VCARC will host a BORED Net 'Micro-Field Day' at the Dudley House 197 N. Ashwood Dr. Ventura CA 93003 from 11AM until 3PM on October 29. These µField Day events were started by The BORED Net and is a great way to hang out with a bunch of other hams, blow the dust off your equipment, and get more experience with your equipment in a portable setting. All hams are invited. Previous locations have been Lake Sherwood near Westlake, Rancho Potrero in Newbury Park, and CSUCI campus. One of the events had 16 HF rigs operating! The BORED Net µField Days are also a great opportunity for newer hams to see different setups in use, or to bring their own equipment for help. They're open to everyone in the county, from all clubs (or not affiliated with any club), licensed or just interested. AC power, a bathroom, and "Fire and ice" will be provided (a BBQ pit and ice), so bring something to grill for yourself. Hope to see you there! Dave AI6VX

Forwarding this email about some sprints coming up in case anyone is interested. Dave AI6VX ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Peter Heins N6ZE via groups.io <n6ze=aol.com(a)groups.io> Date: Fri, Sep 16, 2022 at 8:04 AM Subject: [K6MEP] Fall 2022 vhf/uhf/microwave SPRINTS Are Here! Just when you thought that “ the self-appointed town crier” of scheduled vhf/uhf events had forgotten to let Ventura Co. hams know about the next one, here it is! The Fall VHF/UHF SPRINTS, sponsored by the SouthEastVhfOrganization, will be held over the next few weeks. Designed to use 1 band only per evening each week, they are a great opportunity to get on the air for a short time. Most people only operate for the first hour or so in order that they can perform honey-dos for the rest of the evening, walk the dog, or operate FT8 on HF. The first SPRINT will be held on Monday, beginning at 7 pm pdt. 2 meters will be the band this time. Serious participants will open up the pdf for complete rules and scheduling of the SPRINTS. See you all on 144.200mhz usb, 146.52mhz fm simplex, or 144.174mhz ft-8 when I get on the air from 7pm to ~~8pm. https://svhfs.org/2022VHFSprintRules.pdf Bt73 Pete,n6ze(a)aol.com _._,_._,_ ------------------------------ Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.

Santa Barbara Electronics Supply was just made a vendor for LDG. LDG makes auto-tuners (up to 1KW), baluns, ununs, and dual analog color meters for certain radios. We have to commit to a $1500 buy-in to establish our dealership. If anyone needs any LDG product, please let me know today or tomorrow (Thursday) at the latest. We are going to offer everyone who helps us a discount on this purchase run (and we pay shipping to get all the products to Goleta for pick up at SBES, although we can turn around and ship to you direct if you are not local).

New this year -avi ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Stephen Svanda <hello+55770(a)reply.volunteerlocal.com> Date: Fri, Jul 22, 2022 at 3:53 PM Subject: Sponsorship T-shirts Hello Volunteers, Perry Dahn has negotiated a very beneficial sponsor monetization tool (see below email) on behalf of Wings over Camarillo 2022 and you You will receive a volunteer T-shirt in conjunction with your regular volunteer hat. The T-shirts will display the sponsor’s name and the sponsor’s branding. Your job, if you choose, is to enjoy wearing the T-shirt in front of the paying 2022 airshow guests. This is a win for all! Hence, what you need to do, if you choose, is to forward your T-shirt size i.e., S-M-L, etc. to Perry Dahm at perry(a)dahmcpa.com Instructions for T-shirt retrieval will be forthcoming. Regards, Stephen Svanda Volunteer Coordinator -------- Original message -------- From: Perry Dahm <perry(a)dahmcpa.com> Date: 6/21/22 5:08 PM (GMT-08:00) To: Stephen Svanda <stephen.svanda(a)gmail.com>, John Lowe <rjlowe(a)gte.net>, Bob Trimborn <trimtab(a)verizon.net> Subject: Volunteer T-Shirts Hi Stephen, Channel Islands Aviation is the T-Shirt Sponsor of the Air Show this year. Now, nobody really knew what that meant, because we haven't had one before. The sponsor brochure says, "Your company name and logo on an exclusive Wings Over Camarillo T-Shirt worn by 400 airshow volunteers in front of 25,000 air show guests over the 2-day weekend." So, guess what, we are going to have T-Shirts and hats for the volunteers this year. We need to get T-Shirt sizes for all the volunteers as they sign up. I don't know what that entails for your software, but we need it so that I can order the shirts. Let me know what we need to do. Thanks, Perry H.

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

24 Jun '22

SBARC: Ken, KA6KEN and I are setting up a small, informal K6TZ Field Day station at Shoreline Park on the Mesa.
