Hello SBARC Members and Friends,
This is a shameless plea to get you to help in a public service event and
have fun doing it.
We need a few hams to help kids transmit audio and slow-scan TV pictures
between two downtown locations on Sat Oct 6 and Sun Oct 7 from 11am to 5pm.
If you can work any portion of either day, you're hired.
Please let me know if you want to participate. It helps to know we have
this covered in advance, so please volunteer as soon as you can.
The Art Museum's press release (below) describes the event.
73,
Rod Fritz WB9KMO
SBARC Outreach Chair

The Funk Field Station: Creating a Culture Collector
On Oct 6th and 7th artist Patrick Melroy, working with young artists from
Santa Barbara's Museum of Art Teens 4 Teens High school Internship Program,
in collaboration with the Santa Barbara County Arts Commission will
transform a commonplace shipping container into a Culture Collector for the
Funk Zone.
Inspired by the SBMA exhibition, "Scene on the Street" in which
photographer, Doug Busch uses his large format camera to elevate the
everyday, Melroy and his cadre of students will capture and communicate
community stories and images from visitors and residents of the Funk Zone.
Taking on the persona of research station the artists, (just added) using
the expertise of the Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club's HAM operators will
transmit culture bites back to mission control, located at the museum.
Intrepid tourists and locals alike are encouraged to set out in search of
the Funk Field Station signal. It's scavenger hunt meets science; all
artfully imagined and ready for shipping October 6th.
The container will be staffed from 11pm to 5pm on Saturday, and from 11 to 5
pm on Sunday. Watch face book and twitter for more ways to connect.

Thanks to the hams to helped coordinate information this morning on the informal "Endeavour Spotters' Net" on K6TZ 146.79 repeater. I was able to get some cool shots of the orbiter's final flight as it passed over the Santa Barbara South Coast from my perch on Santa Ynez Peak.

The Carpenteria Triathlon is coming up on Sunday, September 30,2012. We
need Ham Operators who are willing to bring their 2 meter radio, a
comfortable chair or car to sit in, and spend the morning talking on the air
to support the Bike Race and/or Run that will take place. It's a fun
morning and the people who we are helping out are always very appreciative.
If you have the time please contact me with your information. Since this is
run by the City of Carpinteria, there is an extra step that has to be
completed on their website but it is very easy and I can give you more
information.

Here's an opportunity for you to own a quality rig at a bargain price.
200 watt output.
Two receivers means you can use two antennas to implement diversity
reception; when the signal fades in one antenna, it often peaks in the
other. Even if you've got one of those technically advanced SteppIR
antennas, it won't eliminate QSB alone.
Asking price $7,999.99 + shipping (CONUS only).
Local Santa Barbara pickup too.
