Antennas and Wind
Well, I had a casualty today! I came home from work and noticed that my
Cushcraft R-5 vertical was leaning oddly at the base. I went up on the roof to see what was up, and got to the antenna just in time for a good gust to bend it over! Anyone else lose anything? Or does anyone know of an R-5 that is good for parts around this area? I am in need of the counterpoise box as it appears badly damaged. 73 and batten down the hatches! Mike Check K5UCQ

Re: Bye bye, 70cm?
Lew Archer <usxpop@...>
Go to the ARRL web site. They have an article on this and the FCC rule. We would hope there never is a conflict, but Fed Gov, Hams, and other prior users have priority over this Throbot thingy. Check the web site.

From: ARRL Members Only Web site [mailto:memberlist@...] Sent: Monday, April 11, 2011 8:13 PM To: gharmon@... Subject: April Flash Special Webinar FLASH FLASH FLASH You won't want to miss this important Antenna Ordinance Webinar. The ARRL West Gulf Division Director, David Woolweaver, K5RAV, is hosting a webinar entitled "Antenna Ordinances, You and the ARRL" on Wednesday, April 27, 2011 9:00 PM - 11:30 PM EDT. Featured speakers for this webinar will be ARRL General Counsel Chris Imlay, W3KD, and noted antenna zoning lawyer, Fred Hopengarten, K1VR. The scope of the webinar will be an overview of common local antenna regulations that can impact amateur radio tower installations and how the local amateurs should approach dealing with local city officials. Following the presentations by Imlay and Hopengarten, participants will have the opportunity to ask general questions related to the topic. Please note this is only a general informational forum. While useful information will be shared, it is not the intent for the presenters to answer questions directly geared towards resolving an specific antenna zoning situation. They will not have the full facts of the situation and may not be licensed to practice in your state. If you are involved in a specific antenna zoning situation, you should contact the ARRL Regulatory Information Office at reginfo@... with a request for assistance. The Regulatory Information Manager will be happy to provide you with information and contacts for your specific situation. Amateurs wishing to participate may register on-line at https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/967072785 For more information, contact David Woolweaver at k5rav@... -------------------------------------------------------------------- ARRL West Gulf Division Director: David A Woolweaver, K5RAV k5rav@... -------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from messages, go to: http://p1k.arrl.org/oo/95cc7ad38377d4ae75d83a21be2d8940

FW: JOTA Promotional Pages Draft
Just in case Bill, Paul, or others @ SARC are interested in being involved
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
with BSA JOTA at national level. Please read below. I got put on their email list due to www.SanAntonioHams.org coverage of previous years' events locally.
-----Original Message-----
From: Jim Wilson [mailto:Jim.Wilson@...] Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2011 4:38 PM To: Jim Wilson Cc: Lisa Cristiano Subject: JOTA Promotional Pages Draft One of the action items from our meeting was to draft promotional pages for the two key audiences: Scout Leaders and Amateur Operators. The thought was that these two promotional pages would replace the current fact sheet. I've made an attempt at drafting these pages, attached, that focus primarily on engaging the two key audiences, providing brief but exciting information, and directing them to the web for further detailed information. As we discussed during our meeting, it was felt that promotion of the event was the primary objective. This is the text only that would be supported by a graphic image of the 2011 patch and some photos of Scouts involved in amateur radio. Note that these are both significant departures from the current fact sheet, which I could see was trying to serve two audiences while also providing a great deal of technical information. These rely heavily on the web page at www.scouting.org/jota to provide the technical information and supporting materials. I will start on that information next. I could use your JOTA timelines to support that effort. I welcome your edits, comments, and suggestions. I've tossed in a couple of quotes, but hope that you can provide something more exciting. I also welcome your thoughts on format. The current fact sheet is an 11 x 17 sheet folded in two. These pages will be much smaller and could be an 8.5 x 11 sheet on it's own, or folded in two. Note that it will also be available online and for that reason may better be suited to a single sheet. I will move this into the graphic design process starting early next week. So I need your comments by the end of this week. Feedback welcome and needed! 73, Jim, K5ND Jim Wilson | Director, Communication Services BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA National Council 1325 West Walnut Hill Lane | P.O.
