Kaleidoscope Volunteer Needed
by Marvin Johnston 04 Apr '22

04 Apr '22

Kaleidoscope is a girl scout event that will be held at Live Oak Campground on Saturday, April 30. They are expecting about 500 or so girls with a variety of activities similar to a Boy Scout Camporee. The event starts at 9:00AM and finishes about 5:00PM with lunch included. We should probably be there sometime around 8:30AM to get setup, etc. Right now, I have three others besides myself and would like one more person. We are using electronic scoring (epunch) and that part takes one person and is covered between a friend of mine from LAOC and myself. The parts that need to be manned are Training/Start/Finish and the Foxoring course. The part we are helping with is putting on a couple of short orienteering courses, and optionally a short foxoring course. Girls who finish the orienteering course early can opt to try out the foxoring course. Foxoring is basically an 80M event using 10 mW transmitters. The idea is to orienteering to near the transmitters using orienteering techniques, and then find the 80M transmitter using standard 80M RDF techniques. Let me know if you are interested as the names needed to be submitted last week :) for background checks and let the Girl Scouts know who will be there. Email is the best way to contact me, marvin(a)west.net, although telephone also works 805-687-8881. Thanks! Marvin, KE6HTS

Anyone have a list, or can point me to a list of HF nets?
by Dave Schmidt 21 Mar '22

Winter Field Day last weekend was fun for me as I don't really use HF except for FT8. Now I'd like to try to participate in a few HF nets. Does anyone have a current listing, or can point me to a list of current HF nets? Dave ai6vx

HF and livecams in Ukraine
by Levi C. Maaia, K6LCM 26 Feb '22

26 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

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
