HF and livecams in Ukraine
by Levi C. Maaia, K6LCM 25 Feb '22

25 Feb '22

Some resources for following military activities in Ukraine ... I understand 8131 kHz is a Russian Air Force coordination channel. It is possible it could be picked up here in California but you can also hear it streaming online from SDR receivers in the region when there is activity: R2AJI WebSDR: http://84.201.157.25:26057/ Livestream of military flight tracking and SDR audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEunIYVisyY Live cameras with audio from Ukraine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZebYm-nenY LCM Levi C.

Fwd: SPECIAL BULLETIN – US Forest Service Extends Comment Filing Deadline
by Jay Hennigan 25 Feb '22

25 Feb '22

FYI, this looks like it will affect the Santa Ynez Peak repeater site. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: SPECIAL BULLETIN – US Forest Service Extends Comment Filing Deadline Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2022 15:54:59 -0500 (EST) From: ARRL Members Only Web site <memberlist(a)arrl.org> To: arrlspam(a)keycodes.com February 25, 2022 ARRL Legal Counsel, David Siddall, K3ZJ informed us this morning that the US Forest Service has sent a Notice to the Federal Register yesterday announcing that they will re-open the window for comments on the proposed new $1400 annual administrative fee for amateur repeater sites on their land, and in fact, all users. This means that amateurs that may have missed the earlier comment period, or who wish to file additional arguments and information, can submit new filings between March 1 and March 31. A copy of the Notice to be published on March 1 is here: https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2022-04254.pdf. Please note the proposed fee is a new and separate fee, not an increase to fees (such as rent) already being paid. If adopted, the existing fee(s) – which generally have been around $130-140 annually for amateur uses – would have to be paid in addition to the new proposed annual administrative fee of $1400. This would put amateur installations on par with those of commercial wireless entities such as broadcasters, cellular providers and broadband entities. On February 22nd the ARRL filed their official comments in strong opposition to the new fees. The comments may be accessed here: https://www.regulations.gov/comment/FS-2022-0001-0749 73; Mike Ritz, W7VO -------------------------------------------------------------------- ARRL Northwestern Division Director: Michael T Ritz, W7VO w7vo(a)arrl.org -------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from messages, go to: http://p1k.arrl.org/oo/cd3244adb6b9c4eb51209ab4d9e80ffe

We have a telescoping mast at the SBARC shack that W6EW donated. I do not know the total length but it is worth checking out on Saturday AM. Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

Hello, I was trying to purchase a $100 ROHN 30ft mast online, but I am getting charged between $100 and $400 of freight shipping. Do you know any business in Santa Barbara or Ventura Counties I may be able to buy it from, please? Thank you, Ludovico, K6LUD

Guy point photos
by David Hackleman 16 Feb '22

16 Feb '22

Here are photos to accompany my previous post. Guy point 1 shows the wood blocks screwed together, with eyelet attached, and painted to match the eave because it shows from the street. This is actually for my Cubex quad, admittedly a much lighter load, not the HF antenna. Guy point 2 shows a relatively small C-clamp used as an attachment point. I didn't bother to paint it because it only shows in the backyard and who cares. Guy point 3 shows a "guy point of opportunity," at my breezeway roof. Again, not painted. Guy point 4 shows another guy point of opportunity, a fourth one at my tree. The guy rope is the one with bumps where I tied the Dacron fragments together, attached to an eyelet just above the bump on the tree. Mast tie point photo shows where I lashed the mast to another clamp with nylon rope. This arrangement has stood the test of time. Any critiques are welcome! K6VML

Suggestions for installing guywires on roof
by Ludovico Cavedon 15 Feb '22

15 Feb '22

Hello, I am planning on installing a push-up mast and I am wondering what the best way to attach the guywires to the roof is. The mast is a push-up 30-ft mast attached to the ground and the side of the building in the corner where the building makes an "L" in the picture below: [image: PXL_20220213_192851996.jpg] I will attach two sets of guywires, one set at 20ft and the other one at the top (30ft). However, I am unsure about what the best way is to attach the guywires to the roof. Do you have any recommendations? Can I trust some eyebolts? How long do you think they should be? How would you seal the whole? Silicone caulk? More pictures here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/CDKbVeXSthENVkWX6 Thank you! Ludovico
