I'm in dire need of a Simpson 260......The meter movement needs to be good,
dead batteries, etc, are OK.
For the 1st time (I think) I sold a piece of equipment that I don't
have....i.e., Keith Coulter's estate had many Simpson 260's, but it seems that
the guy that bought the 60-80 cubic feet of vacuum tubes, etc, took the 260's
home with him.
So I'm going to have one pissed-off customer when I have to refund his
money.
Any help out there ??
Tnx & 73

A big step forward was reached this week as Kevin Hess from Search &
Rescue and Bill Theeringer, W8PEY, installed a 4 ft 34 db parabolic
reflector at our Mesa site. The parabolic is pointed at Santa Ynez
Peak (SYP) and will be the first leg of an independent 5.8 GHz
multi-purpose wide-band system interconnecting SBARC remote repeater
sites. The SYP side will be a similar parabolic which is scheduled
for installation on September 3. A second link will be installed from
the Mesa site to Gibraltar Peak where the system will interconnect
with a high speed Internet connection. The Mesa site will intertie
all of the present SBARC services such as IRLP, weather, video, APRS,
and telephone to one common high-speed service with Internet
connectivity for system control. The Santa Ynez Peak system will act
as a node for many services including access by Search & Rescue into
their simulcast hub for system maintenance. Further uses are
currently in the mill and we shall report these milestones as we move forward.

Hello SBARC Members:
I have a ham in the northern part of the county that is looking for a
few(?) Rohn 45G tower sections.....
He does have a suitable trailer for hauling same....
He can't use 'smaller' sections because of the extremely high winds in his
are (100+ MPH).
Any help would be appreciated.
Tnx & 73

If you are at all interested in supporting the SB Triathlon, there are many
positions on the Mesa. For this section (the run) of the event, you don't
have to show up until 0800 and should be home by 1300. The more Ham
Operators we have, the safer we can make this event. Please contact me at
rickwhtr(a)cox.net of phone 964-5440,

Did you know there was a full marathon in Santa Barbara from 1965
through 1984? Historical notes from the race director regarding the
race are at the link below, including a shout-out to SBARC.
The marathon was abandoned after the number of finishers declined to 114
in 1984 and returned in 2009 with 1,686 finishers, again with SBARC
support.

I very cheap USB dvb-t receiver that can be used as a software defined
radio with GNU radio running on a Raspberry Pi.

DVB-T dongles based on the Realtek RTL2832U can be used as a cheap
SDR, since the chip allows transferring the raw I/Q samples to the
host, which is officially used for DAB/DAB+/FM demodulation. The
possibility of this has been discovered by the V4L/DVB kernel
developer Antti Palosaari.
Specifications
The RTL2832U outputs 8-bit I/Q-samples, and the highest theoretically
possible sample-rate is 3.2 MS/s, however, the highest sample-rate
without lost samples that has been tested so far is 2.8 MS/s. The
frequency range is highly dependent of the used tuner, dongles that
use the Elonics E4000 offer the widest possible range (64 - 1700 MHz
with a gap from approx. 1100 - 1250 MHz). When used out-of-spec, a
tuning range of approx. 50 MHz - 2.2 GHz is possible (with gap).
This little computer runs UNIX (Debian), just plug in keyboard, mouse
(USB), Display (HDMI), SD card, Ethernet cable, and away you go!
Incredibly cheap and small, and very easy to administrate with 30,000
application packages installed at the click of your mouse!
Unbelievable!
