Magazine Collection
by Brian Milburn - K6BPM 13 Mar '18

13 Mar '18

Hi All, A nice lady in Hope Ranch contacted me about her husbands radio/electronic magazine collection. He passed away a couple of months ago and was an avid radio fan, but never became a ham for some reason. But he spent hours every day listening to his scanners and receivers. He had a collection of the following magazines, some going back several years. QST, CQ, 73, Radio Electronics, Monitoring Times, and Popular Communications. I am trying to find a home for these for her as she said she would hate to just send them off to the recycle center. If anyone is interested in starting or adding to a collection, please let me know! 73 brian(a)k6bpm.com -- Brian - K6BPM

Red Cross Parking
by Brian Milburn - K6BPM 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

I just got word that the parking lot is open for full use at the Red Cross. HOWEVER, they are doing tree trimming tomorrow, Saturday Feb 17, so please DO NOT park back by the generator area or the 2 spaces where the Rover used to be parked, or the area by the dumpsters. The tree trimmers need access. Thanks! -- Brian - K6BPM

Re: [Sbarc-list] Hawaii’s false incoming middle alert

The positive publicity this piece creates for the Amateur radio community is undeniable. However if there ever is an actual nuclear detonation, we all know that the associated EMP will cause many of us to be in the same situation as the useless cellphones. > On Feb 9, 2018, at 12:00 PM, <sbarc-list-request(a)lists.netlojix.com> <sbarc-list-request(a)lists.netlojix.com> wrote: > > Send SBARC-list mailing list submissions to > sbarc-list(a)lists.netlojix.com > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Flists.netl… > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > sbarc-list-request(a)lists.netlojix.com > > You can reach the person managing the list at > sbarc-list-owner(a)lists.netlojix.com > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of SBARC-list digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Santa Ynez Peak today
by Bill Talanian 02 Feb '18

02 Feb '18

Folks: After fire, flood, and even a earthquake Matt Lechliter finally got back to Santa Ynez Peak thru the "mud zone" today from Oxnard. I teamed up with Matt and Chris Arnoult and was sure glad that I did not try this run during the rain storm. There was ample evidence of wash out's with heavy mud debris that could easily force a vehicle off the road. First stop would be a shear 1000 ft drop in an area we call the Bolivian Mile. Matt installed the repaired final amplifier in the 146.18 repeater which previously was motor-boating. Few people realized the 145.18 repeater was operating for many weeks with only the Exciter running 150 milliwatts which was still heard by most people. The repeater is now back to 25 watts along with its partner repeater on 145.16 which is also running 25 watts. There is much to compare here with two co-located systems but with _different an__te__nna patterns._ In addition Matt went through the controller programming sequence to see if it helps get rid of the annoying M-A-C-R-O 9 voice response. Will watch this for a while and see if this fix works. I believe it is safe to say that the 145.16 system is now 100% fully operational between Santa Ynez Peak and the WD6EBY repeater (145.20/144.60 127.3 PL) at Sulphur Mountain in Ventura County. This is intended to be a full time linked system with no buttons to push. Our goal is a Tri-County VHF repeater system covering the most populated areas. We are working on securing the final leg to SLO County. Meanwhile, Have Fun and let OBB know how both systems are working with your associates in tough RF areas. Bill Talanian

Club Station Parking Lot Closed This Weekend
by Brian Milburn - K6BPM 27 Jan '18

27 Jan '18

Hi All, I just received an email from the Red Cross stating that the parking lot will be closed to all non Red Cross traffic tomorrow, Saturday January 27, 2018. They are still working on recovering from the fire and mudslide/flood events and have response and delivery vehicles coming and going. I don’t know if I will go down there tomorrow or not because there aren’t many other places to park around there and turnout will probably be very light. If you are planning on going to the shack tomorrow, it might be a good idea to call on the radio first to make sure someone’s there. -- Brian - K6BPM

He is without a doubt one of the finest persons I have worked with over his career at the Park. Ian introduced me to the Park communications system many years ago. He was the single most person responsible for the success of the Channel Islands National Park multiple repeater system. For those who are not acquainted with Ian, he is none other than kd6vwr (E). A true professional Ranger with a host of specialties from diving, firearms, communications, tower climbing, logistics and security. As a volunteer it was my pleasure to accompany Ian to many remote sites and provide a tech-assist. I wish he and Marcella all the best with his new career. Bill Talanian(volunteer) NPS Communications System -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: New Life for Old Rangers Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2018 21:21:31 -0800 From: Williams, Ian <ian_williams(a)nps.gov> This month was due to be the end of my career with the National Park Service.? Next week I reach mandatory retirement age from law enforcement and therefore will no longer eligible for the San Miguel Island ranger position in which I've served for the past 25 years.? I was scheduled to be retired from the agency on January 31, but have been fortunate enough to be given a new opportunity here at the park. Today, for the first time in my career, I came to work as something other than a park ranger.? It feels strange to say that after 35 years, and I guess I'll always still think of myself as a ranger, but my job with the NPS is now as a Safety & Occupational Health Specialist.? The job is a one-year term position that can be extended up to four years.? (It's a bit like a continuing resolution, only longer.)? It will give the park a chance to try having a position that is dedicated to safety, and it will give me a chance to try to help the rest of the park staff to make the Channel Islands a safer place to work and visit. For anyone that was planning on getting together with us on February 3rd for a retirement party, I'm happy to report it has been cancelled.? Although it is always fun to see everyone at those events, believe me, I'm a lot happier to still be working with so many of them. Marcella and I came out to San Miguel today for one final tour.? Even though I had to start the new position before the end of the month, I had previously been scheduled out here for one more week to wrap up a few projects and pack up what has been our home for 25 years.? Leaving the island will still be a sad moment, but it's a lot better knowing that I'm not yet leaving the park and the people that make Channel Islands the world's greatest national park. /s/ Ian Williams Safety & Occupational Health Specialist Channel Islands National Park 1901 Spinnaker Drive Ventura, CA ?93001 (805)658-5700 x5971 ian_williams(a)nps.gov <mailto:ian_williams@nps.gov>
