Hi everyone,
One of the blogs I follow gave some links to information about the eclipse:
"Tomorrow, on the 22nd of July 2009. the longest solar eclipse of this
century will occur; it will last over six and a half minutes, and it
will be visible, among other places, in parts of India, Butan, Nepal,
Bangladesh, China, Japan, and the Marshall Islands."

Thank you for the link, Bill!

This is a link to a NASA article that was discussed on this week's
Thursday night Elmer Net.
It contains a good explanation of how "the sun's magnetic fields (old,
dead sunspots) are swept up and dragged down at the solar poles to a
depth of 200,000 km where the sun's magnetic dynamo can amplify them.
Once the corpses are reincarnated (amplified), they become buoyant and
float back to the surface. The speed of this conveyor belt sweep
dictates the cycles."
Conflicting estimates of the length of the current cycle are also discussed.
But you can read all that yourself should you be so moved.

Have some really nice stuff from the N9NN estate.
The Icom pieces are 'as new', and were packed with 1996 newspapers,
suggesting long term storage...
1. IC-735, HF Xcvr, with microphone, original manual, CW Filter and
original box (with carrying handle).....With IC-PS-55 12 VDC power supply. Asking
$375.......$325 without Power Supply.
2. IC-2KL HF Solid State HF Amplifier with IC-2KLPS Power Supply......500
watts out on all bands including 10 meters, with original manual...NOTE:
The bandswitch does not show 10 meters on the front panel, so require Icom
transceiver as driver which will switch amp automatically to 10 meters. Asking
$1,100.
3. MFJ-989C, 3KW Series Roller-Inductor HF antenna tuner...has some of
dial numbers worn off of front panel...Asking $150.00
4. Ten-Tec KR-40 morse code Keyer...Asking $40.00
5. Palomar Enineers "IC Keyer"...Also asking $40.00
6. Heathkit SB-620 Scanalyzer with original manual....Asking $75.00
These items will be leaving for the Williams, Arizona swapmmet very early
on Thursday morning (07/16/09).
p.s. If items don't sell at this swapmeet, will bring to Santa Barbara
Convention at Earl Warren Showgrounds.
So either call me at (805) 968-4227 or email to W6FF(a)sbarc.org or
wb6wcw(a)aol.com.
Tnx & 73's

Hi everyone,
A rather interesting blog post I just read that hits home:
Is the iPhone Killing Your Creativity?
http://lateralaction.com/articles/iphone-creativity/
The nutshell description is that many people can't stand boredom and use
TV, the iPhone, their computer, etc. as distractions. The bottom line is
they then don't spend any time daydreaming or other creative pursuits.
Personally, I find myself doing the same thing ... checking email,
checking the web, etc. Most interesting!!!
Marvin
Tnx shaw!

Bill, Michael -

The SBARC 446.400MHz IRLP system is back on-line.
For those not familiar with IRLP, here are some links to get you started:
1. Introduction - what is, and how to use the IRLP
http://www.sbarc.org/repeaters/rptinternet.htm
(Note: there is a typo here - SBARC IRLP node is '3673', not '3672' as
shown):
2. How to look up the 4-digit code of the distant station you wish to
connect:
http://status.irlp.net/index.php?PSTART=5
3. Real-time status of SBARC IRLP node:
http://status.irlp.net/IRLPnodedetail.php?nodeid=3673
Surprise your DX buddy with a call through their local FM repeater!
Happy 4th!

The SBARC IRLP system will be down for few days starting this afternoon, for
maintenance. The 446.400MHz local RF repeater service will continue to
operate without interruption. I will send an email notification when IRLP
is back on-line.
Thanks,
