I have been told that there was a prayer offered at the last SBARC
meeting. Is that report factual?

SBARC Members,
Field Day is Saturday, June 23 to Sunday, June 24. The location is the
Christ Lutheran Church field near the corner of Los Carneros and Covington
Way. This is the same location that we had last year. It is just north of
the Stow House parking lot.
SBARC will have two HF stations located in the Communications Van and the
Rover. One station will be primarily phone, the other will be primarily CW.
Setup will be very easy since we use the club's vehicles. Setup will begin
Friday afternoon at 1 PM.
If you are interested in operating during Field Day, please indicate your
mode (CW or phone) and first and second choice from the schedule below.
Operators are scheduled in two hour shifts. Two or more operators during a
shift is encouraged so that one person can log while another operates.
Shifts are :
Saturday 11 am - 1 pm
1 pm - 3 pm
3 pm - 5 pm
5 pm - 7 pm
7 pm - 9 pm
9 pm - 11 pm
Night 11 pm - 5 am
Sunday 5 am - 7 am
7 am - 9 am
9 am - 11 am
The SSB Phone station will use a Yaesu Mark V in the Rover. We have worked
on the Rover to permit 'silent' operation mode using battery power. The
Mark V has a roofing filter and voice memory keyer to make it easier to
operate.
Everyone is invited to the Field Day Potluck BBQ at 3 pm Sunday. The club
provides hamburgers, hot dogs, and soda.
Please respond to this email or call me at the number below.

> We will have the traditional countdown to see who has been a ham

> and notice the contrast.

> If you are able to bring along something that you feel we would

> "Old Timers Night" is always a fun event and it is interesting to

> Come give your favorite Old Timer the recognition he or she has

Most everyone in SBARC has probably seen the daily WebCam pictures
from Diablo Peak on Santa Cruz Island. This program was initiated
with the UCSB Geography Department in conjunction with their on-going
weather studies in the central valley.

This wireless link from Santa Cruz Island to the mainland has now
attracted another task from the UCSB Physics Department. The
<http://www.icess.ucsb.edu/iog/about/index.php>Interdisciplinary
Oceanography Group (IOG) is affiliated with the
<http://www.icess.ucsb.edu>Institute for Computational Earth System
Science (ICESS) based at the <http://www.ucsb.edu>University of
California (UCSB). Amateur Radio operators may be interested in this
program as it involves HF in the 3-50 MHz band called HF Radar
Coastal Ocean Dynamic Application Radar (CODAR).
The participation by SBARC is now in its formative stages under
Thorsten von Eicken, of SBARC and Cyril Johnson of UCSB. For more

Subject: Memorial Service for Bob Lentz, AA6JG
Hello friends of Bob Lentz, AA6JG,
As you may have heard, our long time friend, Bob Lentz, passed away last week.
Shirley tells me that there will be a memorial service held for him at St. Marks
United Methodist Church, 3942 La Colina Rd. in Santa Barbara this Saturday,
May 12 at 2:00 PM.
Bob was active in the Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club for many years. He
particularly enjoyed public service communication events the club is active in.
He was also a Volunteer Examineer for our testing sessions.
Bob's health had been failing for the past couple of years. Please come and
give your best regards to his lovely wife, Shirley, N6SMX, who was always by
his side.
