Reminder: For the many of us who took the FEMA IS courses years ago, the courses have changed (hence the IS-100.c instead of IS-100.a, et. al. Check the .(letter) on your certificate to see if it is the current version.

Pat: How do I, (non-board-member so not in the know) access the “shared drive” with the Templates and Artwork?

When I tap on the link to the minutes I get “Page not found”

I’ll do it. I’ve been slacking toooo long.

Logging Question: I was digital using WXJT-X running F8. I found that many of my contacts would respond to my CQ which, of course, would show their exchange information but, when my software asked for confirmation the contact would not respond. This happened so often that I believe those responders logged that exchange as a contact since both of…[Read more]

Regarding Gabriel’s amazing success described above: Some of our new folks may not know the meaning of a few of the acronyms. Here’s a translation:

QSO: Confirmed contact
QRP: Contacts made using low power. For example, my radio was using 50 watts of power; Gabriel’s was using only 5 watts, just like your handy-talky AMAZING!
DX: Long distance c…[Read more]

Well done, Lisa. We’re lucky to have a skilled writer willing to do the job and do it so well. Congratulations on receiving the acknowledgment of your skill by publication in the national newsletter.

Yes, thank you Peter. As you know I’m a fairly long-time ham but your explanation made a lot of things clearer for me.

I will be there 10 to 12 as assigned by Mr. Panton.

I’m confused: Who’s in charge here, that is, IC for this gig?

I parked in the lot in front of the store (the south east corner and found I could both hear and be heard if I put my HT on my car roof which is an effective ground plain.…[Read more]

Hi Casey: WOW ..So great to have a bunch of folks working the Pescadero/Butano area now!
I would like to take this chance to remind the relatively new folks to our club: We need to think in terms of the incident command system at all times. This may seem to be inapplicable to projects and events, but it is always a good idea so it becomes reflex…[Read more]

I will be there also in case someone comes down with the flu or something.

Trudy advised me that she and Bill will be attending with Bill’s beans.

Mary P. will bring stuffing and Neil will bring a vegetable casserole.

So far I count about 10 RSVPs to the Holiday Party. The set up crew is trying to figure out how many people will be there. It was a lot easier pulling out extra tables etc. at Wills than it will be at the LH Clubhouse so we would REALLY APPRECIATE RSVPS. Even if you don’t know yet what you will be bringing, please respond and let us know if you…[Read more]
