The ARRL Santa Barbara Section will be conducting an Intra-Section
Communication Exercise on Thursday, October 20th, starting at 1000
Hours. All Amateurs capable of operating on the exercise frequencies
are invited to participate.
One of the Section goals for 2016 is to improve the communications
between Amateurs in the Section. Several efforts have been in
process this year to publicize our many Nets and to implement
supplemental electronic communications. This exercise will
investigate the ability to use RF capabilities to communicate
information across the whole Section at one time and to involve a
large number of operators in a Net environment.
If you are available to join in this test, please try to access the
portal in your area and check-in with Net Control using your Call
Suffix. You will be asked to report your Callsign, Location (City),
and the repeater you are using for access.
The Exercise will start at 1000 hours and continue to 1045
Hours. Stations do not need to remain on frequency for the entire
net and should have plenty of time to participate in any local Great
Shake-Out activity or the special CalOES or SWOES Nets being held
during the same time frame.
The following repeaters will be part of this exercise:
W6FM 147.360 MHz (127.3 Hz) Mt Lowe - San Luis Obispo
W6RRN 448.760 MHz (131.8 Hz) Santa Ynez Pk - Santa Barbara
W6RRN 448.600 MHz (141.3 Hz) Rasnow Pk - Thousand Oaks
W6RRN 445.800 MHz (141.3 Hz) Chatsworth Peak - Simi Valley
Your participation will be appreciated.

Next ARDF October 22 at Bonelli Park
by Marvin Johnston
Note: I need to know no later than October 19 from anyone who wants to
build one of the Complete Tape Measure Beam kits.
Thanks!
Marvin, KE6HTS
The next southern California on-foot transmitter hunting session will be
Saturday, October 22, 2016 at Bonelli Regional Park. It is intended for
both beginner and intermediate level transmitter hunters. All ages are
welcome, so bring the family. A ham radio license and/or knowledge of
radio equipment are not requirements. Try your hand at some easy
two-meter transmitters set by Joe Moell K0OV plus a 5-fox two-meter
international-rules course of beginner-to-moderate difficulty, set by
Marvin Johnston KE6HTS. One or more fox transmitters on the 80-meter
band may also be set up to try. Experts will be on hand to help you.
For those who want to build RDF gear for use with their own two-meter
hand-held radios or scanners, Marvin will have kits for measuring-tape
yagis and active attenuator circuit boards. He also has complete
antenna/attenuator kit that includes the power switch, BNC connector,
housing and battery, ready to install as the tape measure beam is built.
There will be tools and soldering stations for building. If you're
not an electronic technician, don't worry because there will be experts
to help you. Send e-mail to Marvin (marvin(a)west.net) to pre-register
and get more information about equipment. The building session will
only take place if there are sufficient advance registrations. If you
already have equipment and just want to hunt transmitters, you don't
need to pre-register.
If it takes place, the building session will start at 9:30 AM. Please
be prompt. Beginner transmitters will be on the air at that time. The
main 5-fox hunt will start about 10:30 AM. Hunters may start the
courses at any time until 1 PM. Courses close at 3 PM.
If you have receivers, scanners, directional antennas, attenuators, or
other equipment suitab le for on-foot RDF, be sure to bring it. Make
sure all batteries are fresh. A limited amount of RDF gear will be
available for loan.
Trails are primitive in some areas of the park, so wear sturdy shoes.
All ages are welcome, but young children must be accompanied by an adult
at all times.
Bonelli Regional Park is near Raging Waters, Brackett Field, and
Puddingstone Reservoir. From the 57 freeway north of I-10, take the Via
Verde exit and go east through the entrance to the park. There is a
per-vehicle entry fee. Go approximately 1/4 mile beyond the entrance
and turn left into the parking lot for the Snack Shoppe (formerly the
bike rental stand). Look for the orange-and-white orienteering flag
directing you to the starting area. Talk-in is on 146.97 MHz simplex.
