The broadcastify.com stream of the 146.79 repeater will be offline for the next week or so. This stream originates at my home QTH on the Mesa which is moving 1 mile East. This downtime does not affect echolink nor All Star services. Levi, K6LCM

tower trailer
by Ken Alker 29 May '19

29 May '19

I found a nice and reasonably priced used 50' crank-up tower on a TRAILER that would be perfect for the club, especially for field days (solar powered battery, electric winches, etc.). The problem is, it is in North Carolina. Is anyone heading out that way any time soon who wouldn't mind trailering this back? Or do you know of anyone heading in this direction who has an empty trailer hitch? It's actually not very large or heavy when collapsed, so I suspect even a light car could tow it comfortably. Please keep it in mind. He's had it for sale for quite a while, so even if you aren't traveling until later this year, it may still be available for sale. Conversely, is anyone aware of any entities/persons in town who may have such a beast already laying around that they want to dispose of, or loan out? Ken KA6KEN 685-2030

To SBARC all: Interesting comparison here between AIS (160 Mhz) VHF signals received at station 533, 500 ft La Vigia Hill, and at station 1360, Santa Ynez Peak, 4300 ft. Coastal VHF ducting does not favor either site as the "K" factor shifts back and forth (182 NM vs 190 NM). Overall average is nearly identical. When trying for VHF DX just follow the AIS pattern to learn how each site is doing then go for the DX at either one.

Julian Nott
by Levi C. Maaia - K6LCM 30 Mar '19

30 Mar '19

SBARC members, It is with great sadness that I am writing to let our membership know of the untimely passing of a renowned and fascinating member of the Santa Barbara community. Although Julian Nott was not a ham, he possessed the spirit of ingenuity and creativity that is so pervasive among our ranks. Julian was the founder of the modern ballooning movement. He held 79 world ballooning records and created the first hot air balloon with a pressurized cabin. In May 2017, he broke the world record for a high altitude civilian tandem skydive jumping at just under 32,000 feet. Another hot air balloon he flew to 55,000 feet is now on display in the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum. Prior to his death, Julian was developing an entirely new system for ballooning in which conventional ballast was replaced with cryogenic helium, a shift that was changing the course of balloon history. Julian died this week on Tuesday, March 26, several days after suffering multiple injuries during a ground accident following a successful balloon flight and landing in Warner Springs, California. I came to know Julian personally through my high-altitude amateur radio balloon activities with students at Anacapa School in Santa Barbara and as a fellow aviator based out of Santa Barbara Airport. Although Julian was usually the most interesting person in the room, he was gifted at making others, particularly my students and me, feel empowered and important. It was an honor and pleasure to know him. His passing leaves a void not only in the Santa Barbara community but in the world. This article “Nott’s Landing” in Montecito Journal tells the story of his path in life succinctly. http://themjmag.com/13/files/assets/basic-html/page33.html Local and national media have picked up the story of his passing. For your convenience, here are a few links with more information: https://www.noozhawk.com/article/julian_nott_of_santa_barbara https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Julian-Nott-Balloon-Pilot-Dies-Warne… https://www.nott.com/ Levi C.

Club needs to sell two Whalen heavy duty metal shelving units
by Ken Alker 28 Mar '19

28 Mar '19

SBARC needs to sell two metal Whalen shelving units. They were purchased from Costco and are like new. They have been used indoors but were moved outdoors today. Hoping someone can use these ASAP before they get rained upon. Each rack has 4 shelves and supports 2000 pounds. The size is 77" long x 24" deep x 72" high. The club paid $160 each plus tax. We'd like to get as close to original cost as possible, but (hopefully) not less than $120 each. Please note this will be supporting our club. Two are available. Please spread the news. Ken
