I saw the following in the reuters tech news:
California to Install Wi-Fi Access in State Parks
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Californians, known for their love for the
great outdoors and for high technology, will soon be able to enjoy both
at the same time as state parks get Wi-Fi Internet access.
California State Parks officials said on Friday that SBC Communications
Inc. (NYSE:SBC
<http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/finance/nm/wr_nm/storytext/tech_california…>
- news
<http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/biz/nm/wr_nm/storytext/tech_california_wif…>)
would install Wi-Fi links in 85 state parks over the next six months.
Increasing numbers of laptop computers and handheld devices can connect
to the Internet via Wi-Fi signals.
The expansion into the state's vast park system marks the latest spread
of Wi-Fi service into open spaces, which already includes the San
Francisco Giants' baseball stadium and downtown San Jose, at the heart
of Silicon Valley.
San Elijo State Beach near San Diego is the first state park to receive
Wi-Fi access, which could, for example, enable surfers to send
up-to-date pictures and information about the waves.
Internet access will work in only a small fraction of the overall park
terrain, mostly around visitor centers and camping areas, said
California State Parks spokesman Roy Stearns. Hiking trails would not be
covered, he said.
Laptop computer users need a Wi-Fi card to get access to high-speed
Internet access and, if they are not SBC customers, they will have to
pay $7.95 a day for the service. SBC will share some of that revenue
with the state of California, an SBC spokesman said.
Just a reminder that tonight is the SBARC Club meeting. Our speaker is
Lonnie Bland, N6RBR, speaking on the topic of IRLP. We will be having
dinner with Lonnie at Cody's Restaurant before the meeting starting at
5:30PM. If you are planning on attending the dinner, please let Jay
Hennigan, WB6RDV, know in advance so he can make reservations if
necessary.
The club meeting will be held:
When - Friday, January 21, 2005
Time - 7:30 PM (Doors open at 6:45!)
Where - Goleta Union Schools Admin. Board Room
401 N. Fairview Ave., Goleta
Hope to see you there!

The rain stopped, the sun came out, and I went to work on the antennas
that crashed last month. Just when I thought I had my antennas
reconstructed....Murphy shows up. How does he always find me?
I need to replace a 2-1/8 inch U bolt. The local hardware stores,
including Home Depot, have 2 and 2-1/2 inch, but not 2-1/8. Does
anybody have any suggestions? Please? MNI TNX & 73 de Paul, W1PR
Hi everyone,
This Friday night will be the first club meeting of the new year. As
most of you are aware, SBARC has a working IRLP node (3673) that was put
into operation towards the end of 2004. Many people helped, but Thorsten
Von Eicken, KG6VRT, was the person who finally got the software working
and integrated with the hardware. This can be a tremdous communication
tool since the SBARC 440 MHz repeater can now be reached from anywhere
in the world that has an IRLP node. Our speaker this month will be
Lonnie Bland, N6RBR. Lonnie has been working with IRLP and is the
hardware person for the WALA net. Lonnie is *very* knowledgeable about
how IRLP works and has given talks throughout Southern California. As an
incentive to start using IRLP, our main door prize will be a new Alinco
440 HT with a touchtone pad.
Also new with SBARC is an ENG (Electronic News Gathering) vehicle and
you can see a description of the vehicle on Steve Hammer's website at
http://k6sgh.com/ENG/eng.htm. It was picked up today and will be on
display at the club meeting Friday night.
When - Friday, January 21, 2005
Time - 7:30 PM (Doors open at 6:45!)
Where - Goleta Union Schools Admin. Board Room
401 N. Fairview Ave., Goleta
And it would be much appreciated if you could bring along some
cookies/brownies/etc. for the break.
Other activities for the meeting include the Free-to-good-home table
where you can put those things you don't want but are too good to toss.
Please pass this email along to whoever you think might be interested
and see you at the meeting!
Marvin, KE6HTS
SBARC President
