SC4 Amateur Radio Club

Pat,

May I use some of that content ( mostly the contact info for the Puente fund ) in the PMAC ‘South Coast Covid-19 Resources’ page I’m maintaining?

Thanks for that link – I will humbly apply

very clean. I was getting all inspired to add things and then just sat back and relaxed.

The squelch explanations are succinct.

W/in the Butano community the most commonly asked question by any one with radio experiences is ‘how do I change the squelch?!’

Angelo, feel free to include the PMAC site I’m running

if I may I will nab some of the information you’ve gathered.

we have a small, sorta closed list where we work it out what’s going on.

Hey Angelo, thank you for the succinct write up. May I share it out-of-group? I could host it elsewhere if traffic is a concern.

The various reports out of Italy are sad and sobering.

I’ll be there, and will bring some gear. I may have a teenager in tow.
Gear can stay if the car if it’s not needed. If it’s a hot day I can’t leave the teenager in the car.

( catching up )

@Neil, we’ll have to come up with some kind of practical advice for Puente and their FT-60’s

There are a couple of Yaesu FT-5100 mobiles with power supplies and antennas in the Pescadero and Loma Mar fire stations that were purchased by Pescadero Emergency Preparedness back around 1999 with grant money. PEP and PMAC now consider those to be SC4ARC’s property and responsibility although there’s limited site access to test or to ser…

Update, `cuz I’m back and it’s time:

The Puente 8900 has

• a slightly outdated plan
• a broken knob ( actually the stem is broken, not just the knob )
• a precarious spot
• the antenna’s radials have been bonked / truncated, which is a natural side effect of its location. They are lopsided, with the longest remaining element pointing NNE.

Thanks all,

I’m surfing on-going schedule waves with this get go.

Mary thanks for introducing me to the idea of a radio_officer. Said radio officer is rather busy at all times, no?

Hi Radio Officer Peter. I now understand the hat in your profile. Thanks for the backgrounder.

strong>Peter if you would rather I hold off on all this just say so.…[Read more]

hey it does seem to be up!

FWIW the 805 doesn’t reach well into butano canyon proper. we’ll do some more testing about the place.

…ah good to know it wasn’t just us down in the Canyon.

thanks for the clear schedule, see y’all tomorrow afternoon.

I have a pretty good sized screen – big enough that it has to hang from something else.

It’s currently hanging from some hardware somewhere and I’ll take a photo of it tomorrow and a measurement.

It’s probably 6′ wide. We’ve hung it for events two ways:

1) on a hunk of Superstrut between two tall step ladders. I have said Superstrut.

OIC; I can help tear down both nights, and set up the Sunday.

I have a spare projector or two if needed. One is in the Butano, the other in Belmont so I wld need some lead time. ( one is rather old – VGA input max. )

I can also offer a tripod stand for those giant 3m sticky sheets; I used to use those as a ‘wall of truth’ for participants…[Read more]

I have a conflict for Saturday 14th setup, however I can help with tear-down Sunday 15th
If you are setting up Friday I can help as well.
LMK

late for the train – I’m currently conflicted out due to the REX Foundation fundraiser. ( and I’m not even a dead head. )
srry.
the food sounds amazing.
