Re: [Sbarc-list] pipe-to-pipe clamp

Thanks, Al! All good suggestions and I'm going to note them for the future. I ended up temporarily just putting the mast INSIDE the 3.5" OD pipe (it is 3" ID and the OD of my mast is 2.25") and it is working fine for now, but it spins in the wind (not good :-), and is a little crooked. I ended up finding the perfect clamp at Talley which Andrew (KG6END) at Santa Barbara Electronics Supply can order for me at 1/2 the cost that I'd have to pay direct to Talley. That said, I haven't ordered it yet, so if anyone has one they want to sell, I'm still looking.

I am trying to attach a 2-1/4" O.D. push-up mast to a 3-1/2" O.D. pipe that I have cemented into the ground (my old 9-foot "big ugly dish" mounting pole). Does anyone have anything they want to get rid of or sell that might accomplish this? Old, rusted, and used is fine. Thanks! Ken KA6KEN

Community Meeting
by Bill Talanian 16 Aug '18

16 Aug '18

Observation: Zero Outreach Last nights Community Meeting on Wildfire Safety at Earl Warren was attended by about 250 citizens. The program was sponsored by SCE. Interesting to note that the Public Safety and social service and volunteer agencies also took part in the meeting. After the meeting most of the audience went one-on-one with officials and Public Safety personnel. Aside from myself and PEY we saw no other amateur radio operators. Looking at it another way, If amateur radio fails to respond to open community events in representing itself to the public then the more irrelevant it shall become. Quoting a former club president: Why can't ham's learn how to communicate ! Bill Talanian

Ham Quits Hobby Over Funny Phonetics
by Brian Milburn - K6BPM 16 Aug '18

16 Aug '18

From: https://hamhijinks.com/ham-quits-hobby-funny-phonetics/ By K5KVN, on the scene NORFOLK, Va. – Mitch Eversdale blames it on “Three Lovely Ladies.” Those are the phonetics a ham in Michigan used when talking to a station with a callsign suffix of “TLL.” And it was the last straw for the long-time ham radio operator. “It happens all the time and I’m sick of it. Just the other day, I was tuning around 40m and someone made ‘WB’ into ‘Wild Bill,’” said Eversdale. A retired Navy radio operator, Eversdale admits he’s a “hardcore traditional man” when it comes to phonetics. “Can you imagine saying something that ridiculous on a Navy frequency? I believe you’d get thrown into the drink if you did,” he says. His ham radio friends, like Benny Roddenfall, have told him he needs to lighten up. “I don’t know why he gets so worked up about it. Heck, he nearly punched me at the club meeting last week when I referred to QST Magazine as “Q Street,” says Roddenfall. After overhearing the contact between the Michigan ham and the station ending in “TLL,” Eversdale says he’s through with being on-air. “I’ll focus my attention on a hobby that takes things more seriously, like embroidery. There’s a hobby that can’t get things wrong.”
