WTB: 220 MHz amplifier
by Alain Michel 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

Hello All, I have recently purchased a Kenwood 3530 A 220 rig, from the nice folks at SBARC. I understand that there are several manufacturers, VHF Engineering, Mirage, etc. I'd like to purchase one with the capabilities of 10 watts in and from 70 thru 125 watts out. That would suit me perfectly. If you have one that you are willing to part with, or know of the whereabouts of one, would you please pass along that info to me? Many thanks for taking the time to respond! 73 de Alan...N6HPO

Check this out Transparent Loudspeaker Uses Stretchable, Ionic Conductors http://video.techbriefs.com/video/Stretchable-Transparent-Ionic-C;Power In this video, a materials science laboratory at Harvard University is filled with music (the "Morning" prelude from Peer Gynt) played on a transparent ionic speaker. The speaker consists of a thin sheet of rubber sandwiched between two layers of a saltwater gel. A high-voltage signal runs across the surfaces and through the layers forces the rubber to rapidly contract and vibrate, producing sounds that span the entire audible spectrum, 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz. This device represents the first demonstration that electrical charges carried by ions, rather than electrons, can be put to meaningful use in fast-moving, high-voltage devices. "You can integrate it anywhere you would need a soft, transparent layer that deforms in response to electrical stimuli - for example, on the screen of a TV, laptop, or smartphone to generate sound or provide localized haptic feedback - and people are even thinking about smart windows," says Harvard postdoctoral fellow Christoph Keplinger.

Hi Scott, Let me pass this along and see if someone can help you. Thanks for writing. Darryl Widman, KF6DI Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott McFerran To: sbarc(a)sbarc.org Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2014 7:13 AM Subject: looking for information re proper use of radio/repeaters Hi, My name is Scott McFerran and I live in Santa Ynez. I recently purchased 2 Motorola Talkabout 2way radios, model MS355R. The radios include a GMRS duplex channel feature which I would like to use in a proper manner. Is there a person in your club that would be willing to help me understand this feature and use it properly? Thanks! Scott McFerran 619-818-3596 cell

[ardf-socal] Next ARDF at Topanga State Park 1/25/14
by Marvin Johnston 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

The next southern California on-foot transmitter hunting session will be at Topanga State Park on Saturday, January 25, 2014. There will be entry-level two-meter "fox" transmitters, set by Joe Moell K0OV and a 5-fox two-meter international-rules course, set by Marvin Johnston KE6HTS. One or two optional 80-meter fox transmitters may also be on the air. 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 attenuators. 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 -- just show up. 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-meter course, electronic scoring will be used. If you have an "e-stick," be sure to bring it. An optional $5 donation is requested for the advanced course to cover expenses related to the use of Los Angeles Orienteering Club's e-punch equipment and maps. The beginner course and the 80-meter transmitter hunt are free of charge and e-punch is not required for them. 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. Dogs are not allowed on the park trails, fire roads, or in the back country. Topanga State Park is in the Santa Monica Mountains. From Highway 101 in Woodland Hills, go south on Topanga Canyon Boulevard (Highway 27) about 8 miles. From Pacific Coast Highway, go north on Topanga Canyon Boulevard to just past Old Topanga Canyon Road. Either way, watch for a "Topanga State Park" sign and turn east onto Entrada Road. (This is a dangerous corner.) Go about a mile, bearing left at the fork. We will gather at the end of the parking lot in the shaded picnic area. Look for the orange and white orienteering flag. Talk-in is on 146.52 MHz simplex. The state day-use fee for entry and parking is $10 per vehicle. A map showing the site location is at www.homingin.com. If moderate-to-heavy rain is forecasted, check that site on Friday 1/24 for possible cancellation. 73, Joe Moell K0OV
