Another Field Day is in the Log
K5OLE <davidftx@...>
Field Day 2006 is over and the antennas are down. The San Antonio
Radio Club ran three stations until a little after 3:00am when it dropped to two and then quickly to one. By sun up we were back to three. Most contacts were on 20 Meters with 40 close behind. We did well on 80 at night, thanks to Pat, AD5BR. We had a few contacts on 15 Meters, but 10 was tough. W5SC had contact with all the lower 48 except Maine, most of the Canadian Provinces, and a few DX stations. All in all, 27 hams dropped by to talk about operating, think about operating, or actually sit down and operate. I'm combining the logs tonight and will post the final results over the weekend. All the setting up and taking down help was appreciated. A special thanks to Mike Check, K5UCQ, and Richard Elder, KB5ACN, for their extra effort. Thanks to everyone who participated. K5OLE

FW: Big Bend Marathon
Charles Land
On January 14, 2007 the 3rd annual marathon is planned in Big Bend
National Park. This is one area of the country where cell phones don't work at all, so all communications is via ham radio. It takes about 24 amateur operators to support this event. I have co-ordinated the ham operators for the last two years, and we usually have about equal support form the locals there and from San Antonio and Austin. If you would like to join this event (or consider it), please let me know and I'll put you on my email list for further news. For the present, you can see the info on the race at bigbend50.com. Those who like the Big Bend area have a great time at this event. We usually leave SA and arrive in Big Bend on Friday. We have a comm. check Saturday afternoon, and the race is Sunday. Race HQ is in Rio Grande Village, a camp ground on the East side of the park. There is only camping there (no motel rooms). There are rooms at the Lodge in the Chisos - about 20 miles away, and they are nice and a little pricey (about $100 a nite) and there are rooms in Terlingua/Study Butte, which is about 50 miles away. Most of us return to SA on Monday, but some stay a few extra days out there. We usually have group meals Friday nite, Saturday morning and evening, and there is a victory party Sunday that volunteers are invited to. Rio Grande Village is at about 1700 feet ASL, so the weather isn't as bitter as it is in the Chisos (which are about 5000 feet ASL). The average is around freezing at night, and in the 60s during the day - but this is desert country - not that many average days. It is a gorgeous area - usually the weather is nice, but it can be anything that time of year. A photographer's paradise - bring cameras!! The organizers and runners are great people to work with and are all out there to have a good time. Usually, those who want to camp in the group camping area with the HQ staff can do so for free. Ordinarily, I wouldn't bother anyone with notice this far in advance, but a trip of this magnitude does require some planning. So think about it and let me know. In past years, we have used 2M, and the Big Bend ARC crew has brought in a couple of portable, linked repeaters which give us excellent coverage out there. We have attempted hf or simplex backup, but haven't done much with it. The run is capped at 200 runners. Last year there were about 120. So we'll probably reach the cap this year. Much of the race is on roads that are accessible by 4 wd or high clearance 2wd vehicles. Small parts of it are 4 wd only. These trails are not maintained this time of year, so if there are heavy rains in the late fall, some of the roads may be impassable - or at least a challenge to the 4wd crews. Charlie Land KC5NKK

I don't know what e-mail client you are using but there may be another option. In Mozilla Thunderbird, there is an option of setting specific addresses that will be converted from HTML to plain text. I not sure but I THINK that even Microsoft Outlook 2000 (and later) has a similar capability. 73, Jim W5CPA

Hmm, guess we've knocked out about 2/3 of the folks who send email from using this group. I send a simple, 1 line text reply to this group, with my normal default email settings, and it bounced as refused because it wasn't plain text. I changed my settings to send this message, but I'll be changing it back to normal after.

These frequencies may be used for Arizona fire-related emergency traffic, if necessary.

Aldom says he expects that most emergency communication will take place on VHF and UHF repeaters, however.

Generators Delivered, Thanks to Those who Offered to Help
K5OLE <davidftx@...>
John Ryan, W5JLR, helped me get the generators off of the truck.
Thank you John. More Field Day assistance is still needed. Friday at 4:00pm we will need a couple of people at KCOMM to load the generators, the shelter, and other necessities. We will then meet at Shavano Park to set up those the shelter and maybe a couple of antennas. We will not leave the generators or radios there overnight. Saturday at 8:00am will be the BIG setup at Shavano Park City Hall. Please help if you are available. We will be on the air at 1:00pm with two stations. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs will be about 6:00pm. All are welcome. K5OLE

Field Day Preparations Are Underway
K5OLE <davidftx@...>
Field Day is set for this Saturday and Sunday at Shavano Park City
Hall, just north of DeZavala on NW Military Hwy. I need some help. I have exchanged the two club generators for two new units and I need to get them gassed, oiled, and running before Saturday. They are a tad heavy and are crated in the back of my pick up. I need someone to just help me get them down out of the truck. 10 minutes or less. If anyone can meet me at KCOMM today to help me unload, please give me a call on my celular, 210-710-8721 or email me at davidftx@swbell.net. You pick the time. Thanks for your help! See you at Field Day. David Freiberger K5OLE
