Some of his friends and co-workers at the school district are having a memorial service for him on Monday June 1 at 4:00 PM. It's at the Goleta Union School District board room across the street from the Goleta Library on Fairview. That's where the SBARC meetings are but I'm not sure if it's in the same room. Spread the word. All are welcome.

Hey:
I know it's a long shot, but several(?) years ago my old boss donated a HP-85 desk top computer in a plywood carrying case to the annual Bazaar........
He's looking for the set of manuals for this relic.......I told him I couldn't remember who ended up with it, but I would send out an inquiry....
Any help would be appreciated.

OLD TIMERS NIGHT, May 15, 2009
by Darryl Widman, KF6DI
What exactly is Old Timers Night, anyway? Well, let's say that it is an annual event that occurs at our May SBARC club meeting. It is a special time where we can once more meet and greet our "most experienced" amateurs. These folks have paid their dues and come this far along life's journey to a point where they can boast about having had experiences in the great hobby of Amateur Radio that most of us have only heard about.
Yes, we did have Amateur Radio in Santa Barbara in the hobby's founding years. Remember, SBARC was formed way back in May of 1920. Radio had only been around for 10 years at that point in time. Were any of you around back then? It is possible that some of you reading this were actually around at that time but I dare say that there are not many.
This special club meeting gives us youngsters a chance to be in the presence of some Amateur Radio operators who helped form our hobby, back when Spark Gaps were fading into history and AM modulation was first being used. Today we take speaking into a microphone for granted. We also have access to so many other means of communications that, from that ancient perspective, we are dealing with black magic. But it can all be easily explained. It is fascinating and it does work. But I digress.
Our Old Timers look forward to attending this special gathering so that they can stand up and briefly take us down memory lane and let us in on what it was like, at least in their shacks, working with quite primitive gear by today's standards. They might tell us about how they acquired their basic building materials to put their stations together as few had commercial products available at that time. They might also tell us about how they wound their own coils, fine tuned crystals to their desired frequency by changing their dimensions and even climbed up into tall pine trees to erect fancy antenna systems. What must it have been like without a local Ham Radio Outlet, Amateur Electronic Supply, Juns or even Radio Shack nearby? At Old Timers Night, we have the chance to hear about how these folks did it.
This night also gives us the opportunity to recognize those hams who have been licensed the longest. As a matter of fact, it has become traditional that we have a giant embarrassment ceremony where the President asks everyone in the room to stand and then asks those who have been licensed for 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years or less to then sit down, with a pause between each of those numbers. At that point, he asks for those licensed 10 years or less to sit down. This continues along advancing at 5 year increments until we have the king of the evening who remembers when the earth was formed. You don't want to miss this.
Another fun part of Old Timers Night is where we give our members the opportunity to show off their oldest gear from their stations (whether presently being used or not). We dig through our basements, climb through stuff in our attics and finally, with scraped shins and scratched arms, locate that disgronificator that we used way back when President Hoover gave his inaugural address. Then we bring it to the meeting and display it with duly noted features on paper that we remembered to bring along. And on that same paper, we also tell how and where we used it. It is fun reading about these old marvels. Even if we didn't actually use this gear in our stations, we still bring old electronic relics and put them on display.
Perhaps you know of an Old Timer who has gotten to a point in his/her life where going out to a club meeting is not possible any more. How about your giving that Old Timer a call and offering a lift to the meeting, or at least arrange a way for him/her to come and be introduced? It would be a distinct honor for members of our club to meet these fine people who had lived through the earlier days of radio. Do you know someone? I do, and have already made that call.
For those of you who have never come to our club meetings, we meet at the Goleta Union School District, 401 N. Fairview Ave. which is right across the street from the Goleta Library. It is about 0.2 miles north of Calle Real or Highway 101 on Fairview Ave. The meeting starts at 7:30 P.M. but come earlier because that will give you a chance to set up your display as well as have a look at whatever others brought with them. Also, coming earlier will give you a chance to shake a bunch of hands of hams you know or don't yet know and be able to look over the junque that is on the "Free to Good Home" table. Bring some. Take some home.
Remember, Old Timers Night is this Friday, May 15. Please come and help honor those who came before us and were a part of Amateur Radio in the past and in some way helped to make the hobby what it is today. Refreshments will be served! Thank you.

Any SB hams do sprinkler work, or know of anyone who does ?
Before leaving SB in 2003 for Florida, I didn't finish a roof sprinkler system to protect our SB home.
I ran pipe up and capped it though.
We're down by State & LaCumbre.
73's,

Oh - OK!

Indeed it does, with regard to such communications not readily
accessible to the general public.

No. Not even close.
TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 119 > § 2510 Definitions
(16) readily accessible to the general public means, with respect to a
radio communication, that such communication is not
(A) scrambled or encrypted;
(B) transmitted using modulation techniques whose essential parameters
have been withheld from the public with the intention of preserving the
privacy of such communication;
(C) carried on a subcarrier or other signal subsidiary to a radio
transmission;
(D) transmitted over a communication system provided by a common
carrier, unless the communication is a tone only paging system
communication; or
(E) transmitted on frequencies allocated under part 25, subpart D, E, or
F of part 74, or part 94 of the Rules of the Federal Communications
Commission, unless, in the case of a communication transmitted on a
frequency allocated under part 74 that is not exclusively allocated to
broadcast auxiliary services, the communication is a two-way voice
communication by radio;
(Part 74 is broadcast auxiliary microwave, part 94 is reserved, was
microwave above 3 GHz.)
IANAL, YMMV.
