30 Apr '20

1530pdt 30april2020 The Spring 2020 Microwave SPRINT for all amateur frequencies on 902 MHz & Up will be held on Saturday, 02 May 2020, from 0800 - 1400 PDT (8AM - 2PM); This is a great time to practice communication without using a repeater! A. If you have a radio which can operate on the 902 MHz (33cm) band and/or 1294.5 MHz (23cm) band, or higher bands, you can participate. 1. Contest exchange is callsign and 6 character grid locator.2. Almost everyone knows their 4 digit grid locator: (In Thousand Oaks, it is DM04). However to determine your 6-character grid locator, look at your callsign listing on qrz.com or possibly your cell phone3. Suggested operating times (on the hour and half hour). Most serious operators will operate for the first 2 or 3 hours of the event4. Calling frequencies): 33cm: 902.1, 903.1, 927.5, 927.6, 927.7, or 927.8 MHz FM SIMPLEX ONLY OR 23cm: 1294.5 MHz FM SIMPLEX or 1296.1 MHz USB/CW 5. Write down (time, call worked and grid locator received). 6. You don’t have to send a log or entry in, but can if you wish to submit a score. Contact Pete, N6ZE (N6ZE(a)aol.com) or Marty, N6VI (n6vi(a)socal.rr.com) for details. B. N6ZE definitely plans to operate, with locations subject to local Corona Virus Closures! 1. I will operate from Topanga Overlook (DM04qd) on Topanga Blvd (CA-27 from 0800 PDT until 0830 PDT. 2. I then plan to drive to the intersection of Stunt Rd & Saddle Peak Rd in the Santa Monica Mts (DM04qb). I hope to arrive there about 0900 and plan to operate until about 1000 PDT. From that point, I will have good views toward Thousand Oaks, Ventura, Santa Monica, and points down the coast from LAX. Views to East typically are not very good. 3. I plan to drive back to Thousand Oaks, (DM04ne) and briefly operate from 1 or more hills in the city until ~~1130 PDT 4. My Equipment: 33cm: FM SIMPLEX with small antenna or yagi23cm: FM SIMPLEX or 1296.1 MHz USB/CW with small yagi Note: As able, I also plan to monitor 144.2 MHz USB/146.52FM Simplex & 432.1 MHz USB/446.0FM Simplex & the Thousand Oaks Grissom Repeater on 146.85 MHz Good Luck to ALL! bt73Pete, N6ZE(a)aol.com805.796.N6ZE call/txt

A couple good ham radio films
by Levi C. Maaia, K6LCM 21 Apr '20

21 Apr '20

Looking for something to watch on TV? I came across these two relatively new ham-related films last week. Amateur radio and space communications with Russian spacecraft are featured heavily in both. I think hams will especially them. Sergio & Sergei (2017) ~90 min YouTube Trailer: https://youtu.be/3LpcSDJqcDI Amazon Prime Video $3.99: https://amzn.to/3ar7Mex Sergio is a professor and amateur radio operator. His Jewish-American contact Peter sends him a modern radio and through it, Sergio contacts and befriends Sergei, a Soviet cosmonaut in Mir space station. Meanwhile, a failed coup brings the end of the Soviet Union and Sergei is trapped aboard the MIR. This film is in English, Spanish and Russian so turn on the caption/titles unless you are fluent in all three :-) Voskhod (2015) ~ 30 min Entire 30-min film is free on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnMqT8QbvaM After repairing his ham radio using a tube that he found at an apparent crash site in the forest, a recluse radio operator living the the Oregon woods receives a distress call from a stranded Soviet cosmonaut in orbit during the 1960s. Enjoy! I’d be interested to hear how you like these if you decide to watch. LCM Levi C. Maaia, K6LCM k6lcm(a)maaia.com www.levi.maaia.com +1 805.604.5384 voice/text

Re: [Sbarc-list] Letter From the President

I'd propose three modifications: 1. In my opinion invoking exigent circumstances should require a 2/3 majority of the Board. 2. I would exclude most of the Articles from this section. I wouldn't grant them the power to modify the exigent circumstances Article X itself. Nor would I grant the power to modify Article XII where they can permanently amend the bylaws. In fact, Article III relating to meetings, Article VI relating to elections, and Article IX relating to disbursements are really the only substantive items that the Board doesn't already have the power to control. 3. I would make it clear that any suspension and modifications revert back to the original bylaws when the declaration of emergency is lifted, not after 30 days. I agree that changes to the Bylaws limited in time and scope to allow the Club to continue to function are warranted. However, using an emergency to justify the expansion of political power can be a dangerous thing. -- Jay Hennigan - jay(a)west.net Network Engineering - CCIE #7880 503 897-8550 - WB6RDV
