I agree. Let’s put this to rest. Below is the definition of “political” as defined by Websters: 1a :of or relating to government, a government, or the conduct of government b :of, relating to, or concerned with the making as distinguished from the administration of governmental policy<https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/policy> 2:of, relating to, involving, or involved in politics<https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/politics> and especially party politics 3:organized in governmental terms * political units As far as I can tell, American flags and federal holidays have nothing to do with politics.

Oh good grief. Stephen, I assumed that your question was general in nature and you accidentally piggybacked on Bill's note. If it was in reference to Bill's posting, then in my opinion your question isn't relevant. Honoring those who served our country is no more political content than wishing someone merry Christmas is hard-core religious proselytizing. There may be some non-US members of the list just as there may be some who don't celebrate Christmas. No big deal.

Hi Stephen- The purpose of the SBARC list server is to facilitate communication of members regarding Amateur radio and related activities. We discourage religious and/or political threads. At the very bottom of the page, theres a link to the page which explains some of the guidelines for posting. Thanks!

Fwd: Fwd: [VC ACS] SKYWARN Recognition Day 12/2/17
by Bill Talanian 06 Nov '17

Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [VC ACS] SKYWARN Recognition Day 12/2/17 Date: Sun, 5 Nov 2017 02:50:59 +0000 From: Robert H. w6rh(a)hotmail.com [VC_ACS] <VC_ACS-noreply(a)yahoogroups.com> Reply-To: Robert H. <w6rh(a)hotmail.com> It's that time of year again It is once again time for the annual announcement of the SKYWARN Recognition Day (SRD). SRD 2017 will be held Saturday, December 2, 2017, from 0000z to 2400z. Usually, Ventura County operates from early Saturday morning 7 AM to 4 PM. Much like Field Day, we set up portable stations at the Oxnard NWS office, and make as many contacts as possible. Unlike Field Day, repeaters, internet linking, and most communication methods are acceptable. SRD was developed in 1999 by the National Weather Service and the American Radio Relay League. It celebrates the contributions that SKYWARN volunteers make to the NWS mission, the protection of life and property. Amateur radio operators comprise a large percentage of the SKYWARN volunteers across the country. The official SRD web site will continue to be http://hamradio.noaa.gov <http://hamradio.noaa.gov/>. This site is still being updated for the 2017 event, so you will continue to see the 2016 information for a short time to come. Once this years page is loaded it will be updated periodically with information about the event. On behalf of the SRD team we want to thank you in advance for your continued support of SRD. It continues to be a popular event in the amateur radio community. If you would like to participate, please let me know. Would someone care to be the coordinator for this event? 73 Rob cid:image001.jpg@01D336A6.6859C120 *ROBERT HANSON* *Ventura County ACS Radio Officer * *Ventura County ARES District Emergency Coordinator* 805-901-0147 - w6rh(a)hotmail.com <mailto:w6rh@hotmail.com> __._,_.___ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted by: Robert H. <w6rh(a)hotmail.com> ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Would anyone happen to have an Icom programming cable, and/or the software for ICOM radios (the IC-F4011 in particular, but maybe it is universal w/Icom)? If not, is there anyone you suggest I ask? Thanks! Ken

Need help locating a rogue 70cm transmitter!
by Levi C. Maaia, K6LCM 16 Oct '17

16 Oct '17

SBARC Members, If you have skills with amateur radio direction finding, the Digital SIG and Telecommunications Services Committee have a challenge for you! SBARC has just put a newly coordinated multimode digital repeater on the air at 445.200/440.200 MHz. This club digital repeater sits atop the Mesa at the same site as the 2m FM club repeater. However, there is a potential squatter on our new input frequency 440.200 MHz. This rogue station beacons with a short (250 ms) digital burst every 11 seconds 24/7. We have analyzed and decoded the signal and believe that it is a beacon from the output of a DMR or multimode digital repeater. The beacon, however, contains no ID and no location information. Since this is an input frequency according to the SoCal band plan, this is not the appropriate frequency for such transmissions. If you have DF equipment, we could use your help to locate station transmitting the beacon as that is most likely to be the source of the interference that we are experiencing on our club system. Occasionally there are longer sustained transmissions but those could be from local users of our repeater and not the source of interference. So if you plan on helping to locate the interference, focus on the 250 ms beacon bursts that occurs at regular 11-second intervals on 440.200 MHz. Reception reports so far indicate that the station can be heard throughout Santa Barbara and Goleta. We do not have any reception reports yet from Ventura County. Reports and information can be passed along to me, K6LCM. Thanks so much for your help. LCM Levi C. Maaia, K6LCM Director at Large | Co-Chair, Telecommunications Services Committee Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club, Inc. www.levi.maaia.com +1.805.604.5384

ARDF Practice, Nov 4 at Bonelli Regional Park
by Marvin Johnston 12 Oct '17

12 Oct '17

Note: we also have dinner at Sizzler's afterward, and all participants are invited. We generally talk ARDF related subjects including when and where the next practice will be. Thanks! Marvin, KE6HTS ********** Southern California's next on-foot transmitter hunting session will be Saturday, November 4, 2017 at Bonelli Regional Park. It is suitable for both beginner and intermediate level transmitter hunters. All ages are welcome, so bring the family. A ham radio license and/or knowledge of radio equipment are not requirements. Try your hand at some easy two-meter transmitters set by Joe Moell K0OV plus a 5-fox two-meter international-rules course of beginner-to-moderate difficulty, set by Marvin Johnston KE6HTS. One or more fox transmitters on the 80-meter band may also be set up to try. Experts will be on hand to help you. If you have receivers, scanners, directional antennas, attenuators, or other equipment suitable for on-foot RDF, be sure to bring it. Make sure all batteries are fresh. A limited amount of RDF gear will be available for loan. For those who want to build RDF gear for use with their own two-meter hand-held radios or scanners, Marvin will have kits for measuring-tape yagis and active attenuator circuit boards. There will be tools and soldering stations for building. If you're not an electronic technician, don't worry because there will be experts to help you. Send e-mail to Marvin (marvin(a)west.net) to pre-register and get more information about equipment. The building session will only take place if there are sufficient advance registrations. If you already have equipment and just want to hunt transmitters, you don't need to pre-register. If it takes place, the building session will start at 9:30 AM. Please be prompt. Beginner transmitters will be on the air at that time. The main 5-fox hunt will start about 10:30 AM. Hunters may start the courses at any time until 1 PM. Courses close at 3 PM. For the advanced 2-m eter course, electronic scoring may be used. If you have an "e-stick," be sure to bring it. Trails are primitive in some areas of the park, so wear sturdy shoes. All ages are welcome, but young children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Bonelli Regional Park is near Raging Waters, Brackett Field, and Puddingstone Reservoir. From the 57 freeway north of I-10, take the Via Verde exit and go east through the entrance to the park. There is a per-vehicle entry fee. Go approximately 1/4 mile beyond the entrance and turn left into the parking lot for the Snack Shoppe (formerly the bike rental stand). Look for the orange-and-white orienteering flag directing you to the starting area. Talk-in is on 146.97 MHz simplex. If heavy rain is forecasted, check www.homingin.com on November 3 for possible cancellation. 73, Joe Moell K0OV
