SA Rock & Roll Marathon on Sunday, December 4th, help needed
The AARO ham club has been tasked with providing Hams to assist The Rock & Roll Marathon on Sunday, December 4th, 2016.
We need volunteers at every mile marker, and a few other odd ball locations along the route. We need about 2 dozen (minimum) volunteers to staff the assigned positions, minimum 1 ham per spot.. We currently have a dozen and some volunteers. Free t-shirts for all volunteers. There will be 26 new timer clocks this year!! Duties include picking up the timing clocks prior to the event on Dec. 2nd at 530-630 pm in LOT B of the Alamo Dome (on back side, off Cherry Street, north of Durango / Caesar Chavez) , then being on-site (On Sunday)at your assigned location prior to 630 am, ready to turn them on when AA5RO net control gives us the countdown over the radio. This year’s coordinator is Gilbert Santana N5CDA and you can contact him at rrm@... or 210-323-1860. Emailing Direct is preferred due to tracking of assignments and schedule. The mile maker locations have changed change from last year because the route has changed slightly. See link below for PDF copy of map. http://rnr30.compgroup.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/sites/32/2015/03/SA_16_CourseMap_SUN.pdf So if you have a preference on location, or limitation on time available for the day of the event, please let us know. We’ll assign locations on first come, first serve, with preferences given for those asking for repeat locations from previous years (to help minimize directional confusion). Most assignments require being up & on location early morning. Traffic is a mess, and gets worse the closer to 6:30 am. Mile markers 1 thru 10 are assignments that get done quicker, but you have to be there before 6 am (or earlier) due to road closures. We get "all access" passes, but you still end up stopping at every barricade to talk with the cops, and explain why you need to get from point A to point B. Thanks Gilbert Santana, N5CDA Lee Besing 210-771-7075 San Antonio TX

JC, it has a standard 3/8-24 threaded connection on the whip/coil assembly. The OEM clamp base for it has a one inch long 3/8-24 hex nut antenna connector to SO239 coax connector assembly. Cray / K5MUG

Thanks, Larry. Long time no see, good to hear from you! I'll hang loose until the meeting tomorrow, maybe someone attending will bring one. If not, perhaps we can sync up somewhere. Take care, Cray / K5MUG

Sent from my Windows Phone Since we have a meeting tomorrow night, I'll throw out a request. I need a mag mount base to test my MP1DXTR vertical whip atop my Subaru Forester instead of on a portable tripod with radials.
Anyone have one available for me to borrow for a few days for the test? If you do, I would very much appreciate it if you would bring it to tomorrow's meeting.
Thanks,

Elecraft OEM mic.
CrayL
Need the loan of an Elecraft OEM mic for a couple days, I'm using a Yamaha CM500 headset and have it working on my KX3 very well, and is working on the Elecraft K3 rear 3.5 Mic connection, but not on the front Mic connection. I am using an 8-pin to 3.5 adapter so not sure the adapter is working properly. Others have purportedly have successfully used this connector without mod or menu changes. So, would like to borrow an MH2 OEM mic if anyone has one they would loan to me for a couple days to make sure the front mic port is actually working properly. (PS: If this is duplicated in sorts, a
previous attempt to send it seemed to disappear.) Thanks,
Cray / K5MUG

Elecraft K3 OEM Mic.
CrayL
Looking for a K3 OEM mic with the 8 pin connector for the front mic connection. MH2 handheld is the OEM mic. I'm using Yamaha CM500 headset, and have it working on my KX3 very well. Also have it working on the K3 Rear mic port but doesn't work on the front mic port through a 8-pin to 3.5 adapter I bought. The adaptor 'SHOULD' work well. Anyway, would like to try an OEM if anyone has one and would loan it to me for a couple days. Thanks, Cray / K5MUG

I need your help tomorrow, Saturday, Oct 1st! San Antonio & Seguin area - Lee N5NTG
Please help spread the word!
We just had another ham SAG Driver drop out for this weekend's BikeMS Valero Ride to the River bicycle event, due to his employer forgetting to change his work schedule. He's pissed, but not willing to lose his job over it. But even more importantly, the ham who was to handle the lunch rest stop in Seguin, at Texas Lutheran University, came down with strep throat and selfishly refuses to share it with the riders and volunteers! How dare he be so selfish? Haha. We were already short on hans to cover a couple of rest stops for Saturday, so we don't have any extra hams to split up and reassign. Sunday's assignments are covered. No background checks or DMV checks needed for rest stop hams, just a simple volunteer waiver needs filled out for this event. SAG drivers have undergone both checks, the volunteer waiver, plus an online driver safety course, so its too late to add another driver unless they worked last April during the BPMS150. If you can help me fill the lunch stop assignment (9:30am til around 2pm), or one of the other open rest stops, please call or text me directly. We'll be using 2 meter repeaters for the event. Thanks Lee Besing , N5NTG 210-771-7075 cellphone San Antonio, TX

Rest stop hams needed on October 1st for BikeMS ride, SA to Seguin, to New Braunfels
Just got the word that we are still short of covering three rest stops for the bike Ms Valero ride to the river on October 1st. We thought we had it covered, but there were some cancellations. We have the rest stops covered for the Sunday routes, but it's the Saturday route that we need help with.
While some of the stops are close enough to hit the repeater with a HT, most of them will require a mobile antenna and Mobile Radio. If you have never done one of these rest stop assignments before, bringing a pop-up tent, small folding table & chair will help you be more comfortable. Obviously, you could just operate out of your vehicle as well. Some hams bring a marine deep cycle battery to power their mobile radio outside their vehicle, while others often just run a longer red/black power cord from their vehicle. Using your HT to listen and returning to your car to answer is also another way. The primary net will be on 2 meters, with the SAGs and Motorcycle Safety Marshals also running on 446.175 simplex (for local coordination off net). If you want to help out, please contact me direct, off this list, for more info. There is a PDF doc linked to the front page of SanAntonioHams.org that is called "The Illustrated Bike Tour Survival Guide for Hams" available for free download if you are curious about how these events are typically operated. Thanks. Lee Besing , N5NTG 210-771-7075 San Antonio, TX

Dear ARRL member,
I am writing to you today because we are at a crossroad in our efforts to obtain passage of The Amateur Radio Parity Act.
Our legislative efforts scored a major victory in our campaign when The Amateur Radio Parity Act, H.R. 1301, passed in the House of Representatives yesterday, September 12th. The legislation now moves to the Senate, where we need every Senator to approve the bill.
You are one of over 730,000 licensed Amateur Radio Operators living in the United States. Many of you already live in deed-restricted communities, and that number grows daily.
NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL HAMS TO GET INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS!
· If you want to have effective outdoor antennas but are not currently allowed to do so by your Home Owner’s Association, SEND THESE EMAILS TODAY!!
· If you already have outdoor antennas, but want to support your fellow hams, SEND THESE EMAILS TODAY!!
· If you want to preserve your ability to install effective outdoor antennas on property that you own, SEND THESE EMAILS TODAY!!
We need you to reach out to your Senators TODAY! Right away.
Help us in the effort. Please go to this linked website and follow the prompts:
