Does anybody have any ideas for either using or disposing of old cell phones? I have both some analog and digital phones that were good in their time but that are now too big to be chic. Is there any ham use for them or should they be simply recycled?

Is anybody on the list in the local Santa Barbara area running a TS-830? Mine is having T/R switching problems when I use the outboard VFO. I'd like to test the VFO on another rig so I can determine whether the problem is in the VFO or the 830 itself. Can anybody help? TNX & 73 de Paul, W1PR

The next southern California on-foot "foxhunt" of 2002 will be Saturday,
April 6 at Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley. Practice transmitters
will
go on the air around 11:30 AM, and the main multiple-fox hunt will begin
at
12:30 PM.
This two-meter direction-finding practice/demonstration is sponsored by
the
Fullerton Radio Club. All ages are welcome. There is no charge for
participation. A ham radio license and/or knowledge of radio equipment
is
not required. Several models of domestic and imported hand-held RDF
sets as
well as commercial and home-built antennas will be available to view and
try
out. Basic equipment, such as hand-held receivers and "scanners," can
also
be successfully used.
If possible, bring a handi-talkie, receiver, or scanner covering the
two-meter band for each person who will be going ARDFing. If you have
directional antennas, attenuators, or other on-foot RDF equipment, be
sure to
bring it. Make sure all batteries are fresh.
Mile Square Park is bounded on the west by Brookhurst Street, on the
north by
Edinger Avenue, on the east by Euclid Street and on the south by Warner
Avenue. The hunt area is approximately the eastern third of the total
square
mile area. Vehicular entrance and parking within Mile Square Park costs
$4,
but you can park just outside along the streets for free. The starting
area
will be near Euclid street, midway between Edinger and Warner Avenues.
Look
for signs at the entrances and an orange and white orienteering flag at
the
starting site. There are plenty of picnic tables, so you can bring your
lunch. Talk-in will be on K6QEH/R 146.97(-) PL136.5
In addition to the two-meter band, international ARDF championships also
include an 80-meter band event. At least one optional 80m transmitter
(3565
KHz) will be on the air for you to try.
This will be the last southern California practice session before the
USA
ARDF Championships in Pine Mountain, Georgia, April 19-21.
