Reminder: On foot transmitter hunt near Santa Barbara on Saturday

by Marvin Johnston

The weather forecast is clear skies and a high of 69 degrees for our next on-foot transmitter hunting session at Lake Los Carneros Park in Goleta. As of this writing, nobody has signed up to build antennas and attenuators, so we won't have a building session unless someone registers with Marvin Johnston, KE6HTS (marvin(a)west.net) right away. Starting at 10 AM, there will be practice transmitters and a beginner-level international-rules course on the two-meter band. An optional 80-meter fox transmitter may also be on the air to find. The site area is slightly less than 140 acres. It is relatively flat, making it a good site for foxtailers of all skill levels. If you need some one-on-one help to get started at finding transmitters, just ask. Full-color orienteering maps will be available. You may start the courses at any time until 12 noon. Courses close at 2 PM. A limited amount of RDF gear will be available for loan to beginners. Directions to Lake Los Carneros: From US 101 about 8 miles west of downtown Santa Barbara, take the Los Carneros Road exit, head north about 1/4 mile and turn right into the Stow House parking lot. There should be plenty of free parking. Look for the orange-and-white orienteering flag. The hunt start will probably be in the parking lot. If that is too crowded, we will move to a nearby picnic area. For your GPS navigation system: 300 North Los Carneros Road, Goleta, CA 34.44416N 119.85446W Ham radio talk-in is on the WB6OBB repeater, 147.000(+) PL 131.8. 73, Joe Moell K0OV

Re: [Sbarc-list] Field Day

by Rod Fritz (rod＠sbatv.org)

Hello Ken and all, The fact that we participated made this a worthwhile event. I couldn't attend this year because I had to be out of town. Next year, I'll do everything I can to take part, as I've enjoyed many times in the past. Thank you for being part of the effort this year. Rod WB9KMO -------- Original message -------- From: Ken Alker <ka6ken(a)alker.net> Date: 12/06/2015 1:16 AM (GMT-07:00) To: sbarc-list(a)lists.netlojix.com Subject: Re: [Sbarc-list] Field Day The results have been published (see link below). There were 2720 entries. We are entry #2193 with 326 points (see my emails dated 7/28/15). So, we were in the top 80%. We should be able to top this easily - I'm looking forward to a great turn-out at the shack next year!

Field Day

by Ken Alker

1) Santa Barbara Independent coverage of K6TZ Field Day: http://www.independent.com/news/2015/jul/21/amateur-radio-club-competes-fie… Please note, someone named John Kendall put what I believe is an erroneous comment at the bottom of this article. It needs to be corrected. Can someone with knowledge about the radios in the shack please submit a response (politely, despite his demeanor)? Is there really a marine radio in there? Perhaps someone could submit the exact radio and model number and capabilities (not marine?) in a reply (assuming he's referencing the one that the left-most operator is using??). Or, let me know, and I can submit. 2) Below is a summary of the Field Day entry form that I submitted this morning. It is due by 2059UTC today. If anyone sees any errors/corrections, please let me know [by calling me at 685-2030 as I'll be away from email]. I submitted 176 points for the below listed contacts, which includes bonus points for media coverage (thanks, Brian), and bonus points for submitting results via the ARRL web site. The form requests the number of participants but I'm not sure how many operators we had (Theo, who ran the event - thanx!, Leigh, me, and a new member/visitor who brought his son [sorry - forgot name]) - any I missed? I'm not sure who is pictured in the article at left - perhaps another operator I missed?
