According to information I got a couple of weeks ago from Rick Smith, WCM at
the Norman FO, there will be some of the staff's licensed hams operating the
FO's 2 Meter station.  I hope they will also be watching the APRS screen!

That's what it looks like. Some offices host tours and talks with area
amateurs, but apparently Norman isn't.

There will also be a station at the National Severe Storms Laboratory 
(NSSL) and the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) -- W5T.  We are, 
unfortunately, short on operators as there will be only three of 
us.  Operations hours are planned on 6 Dec from 0000 through 0600 UTC and 
then 1200 - 0000 will be mainly SSB, but I will be there for part of 
Saturday afternoon. I will concentrate on HF digital modes CW (if I can 
stand it without a CW IF filter), PSK31, MFSK16, RTTY, and perhaps some 
SSTV. We would have more ops were it not for the approaching Holidays.

I don't know what the Norman NWSFO is planning, but I know that they have 
an HF dipole up pretty high bwteen their towers and that they have an older 
Icom HF (IC-701, I think) rig on loan from NSSL.  I imagine they will 
monitor APRS, though.

Message-ID: <3FDD2F4C.8020801@ureach.com>

January 9-10 in Pryor, there is a Radio Merit Badge class scheduled. 
 The instructor has had a personal family problem that will preclude him 
being there.  I am not able to attend because that Saturday, CEM here is 
hosting a Search and Rescue Technician Class.

Class times are    1/9    1830 to 2130
                            1/10    0830 to 1130
                            1/10    1330 to 1630

Material to cover is
http://www.qsl.net/aa6j/radiomb/
http://www.meritbadge.com/bsa/mb/093.htm
http://www.meritbadge.com/files/mb-docs/Radio.doc

IF you are able to take this class to its successful completion OR if 
you can take one segment (all segments cover the same material), please 
email me your ability.  I will advise the Course Coordinator of who will 
cover what time.

I'd like two teachers per segment because of the need to cover 25 
students per segment.  If someone would like to help me on the Friday 
evening segment, I'm game for that.

Let me know how more I can help.

It looks like we have confirmation from a Romanian ham that PowerHam is a 
scam, similar to another Christmas-time venture two years ago.  They've 
also posted several classified ads on eHam.  Let's get the word out to our 
friends so no one winds up with a lump of coal in their stocking this year!

Hi all Icom, Yaesu and Kenwood list members,

The Mobifon is a mobile phone service company here in YO and also an 
important
ISP.
This mean that the www.powerham.com  is a scam 100% and maybe they are the
same as the two years ago "Wilfrid" company which said to be in Munchen DL.
A warning message regarding them was put on qth.com site also.
Please take care about.
You have attached below some info I already sent to some.

Merry Christmas to all ahd have a Happy New Year,

A post regarding the www.powerham.com site and that company I found also on
a local YO site (http://f16.parsimony.net/forum27192/messages/6882.htm).
I was suspected them from the first time I saw their site.

They seem to be the same person(s) that scammed many hams two years ago
using the so called "Wilfrid" company which said to be in Munich, DL.
I almost to lost my $, but fortunately I gave up and did not sent the $, as
soon as they told me that their company have low prices because they are not
paying taxes!!!...

But they scamed many other hams, all over the world, some of which are owning
very well known callsigns.

They are acting only on this period of the year as this is the top of 
demands!

[I have made search on YO callbook at that time for the name I was given, for
finding more info as the ones scamed to may get their $ back, but did not 
find
that name in the YO callbook here (they seemed to be aware of  ham technology
and the specific language).]

I already placed warning on some YO sites
( http://f16.parsimony.net/forum27192/messages/6904.htm,
http://www.hamradio.ro/swap/vand.php )

Please post regular (daily) warnings on the swap sites about them, on the 
"For
sale" announcements. Please don't let the swap sites users to be scamed!

The "Wilfrid" guys phone number posted two years ago was a valid one and
someone could be contacted at, giving "info" about the rigs but avoided any
further info, especially regarding direct contact.

You may check if the new phone numbers displayed on the powerham site are
valid/actual ones and if direct contact is ok or not, maybe you may contact
the authorities there and to caught someone and OM's to get their $ back.

Please pass to me any further info about.

I am sorry about, they put the rest of us YO hams on an embarrassing
situation.  Thank you for your help to the ham community.

Merry Christmas to all and have a Happy New Year,
73,
Traian, YO9FZS/p

REAL SCAM ALERT - If you have an eBay account, you probably got a email
from 
ronbx7@world-net.com about "your account info" having been corrupted - -
- It directs you to a link ( http://www.angelfire.com/ak5/ebay14 ) that
pops up with eBay's logo header and footer.  BUT it wants a lot of
uncalled for info, ssn, drivers license, mothers maiden name, eBay
account & password, Paypal account & password...  I forwarded the message
to the ebay security folks and they sent me a confirmation that it is a
SCAM!  If you got a msg from somebody wanting you to confirm your account
info, forward it to eBay at - spoof@eBay or go to their page to report
security violations.  They also added the reminder that any eBay business
will be conducted thru their website only.
Don't give anybody personal info on a website or even a cordless phone -
never - never - never!!!

FEMA ON-LINE COURSE TO HELP COMMUNITY EMERGENCY
RESPONSE TEAMS GET  AND STAY  TRAINED


WASHINGTON, D.C.  The Department of Homeland Securitys Federal 
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is unveiling today an on-line, 
independent study course that can serve as either an introduction to 
those joining Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) or as a 
refresher to current volunteer team members.

While nothing can replace the in-person training local jurisdictions 
offer to CERT volunteers, this independent course augments their 
education and serves to reinforce the knowledge theyve gained, said 
Michael D. Brown, Under Secretary of Homeland Security for Emergency 
Preparedness and Response. This new independent study course 
underscores the importance that FEMA places on CERT and its importance 
to communities across the nation.

CERT members work with a communitys emergency management officials to 
provide assistance in a disaster by helping victims, organizing 
spontaneous volunteers at a disaster site and supporting emergency 
responders.

Specialists at FEMAs Emergency Management Institute developed the 
course, which is part of the institutes extensive independent study 
program. The course, Introduction to Community Emergency Response Teams, 
IS 317, has six modules with topics that include an introduction to 
CERT, fire safety, hazardous material and terrorist incidents, disaster 
medical operations, and search and rescue. It takes between six and 
eight hours to complete the course; those successfully finishing it 
receive a certification of completion. The course is located at: 
www.training.fema.gov/emiweb/is/is317.asp.

The course can be taken by anyone interested in CERT, but only those who 
are actual CERT volunteers can take the in-person training FEMA offers.

On March 1, 2003, FEMA became part of the U.S. Department of Homeland 
Security. FEMA's continuing mission within the new department is to lead 
the effort to prepare the nation for all hazards and effectively manage 
federal response and recovery efforts following any national incident. 
FEMA also initiates proactive mitigation activities, trains first 
responders, the National Flood Insurance Program and the U.S. Fire 
Administration.

Extending the Life of Data on CDs

   When they first made their debut, data was thought to be safe
   on CDs for at least 10 years, and with some premium rewriteable
   CDs possibly for as long as a century. Such optimism was not
   justified, however, and it has been reported by Consumer Reports
   that some cheapie CDs may fail in as little as two years. Eek!

   Many CD failures have been traced to the use of glue-on paper
   labels from print-it-yourself CD label-maker kits. It's believed
   that the glue on the labels interacts with the foil or the dye upon
   which the data resides, rendering the CDs useless. Better than
   stick-on labels, use a felt-tip marker. No data loss has been
   reported with CDs labeled with felt-tip pens.

   Additional Suggestions

   1. Make at least two copies of CDs that contain VID (very
   important data).

   2. Keep CDs clean and stored in a jewel case. Don't stack CDs
   not in cases. The recording surface is durable, but it can be
   scratched and damaged.

   3. Store CDs in a relatively cool, dark, dry location. Heat, light,
   and humidity increase oxidation and can shorten the life of a CD
   by years.

   4. For additional tips and current thinking about CDs and DVDs,
   visit the Optical Storage Technology Association Web site.

OSTA ( http://www.osta.org ) still says CDRs are good for somewhere
in the 50 to 200 year range (if you stay away from the problem labels,
take care of the disks, etc.).

See http://www.osta.org/technology/cdqa13.htm

>  1. Make at least two copies of CDs that contain VID (very

And put that second copy in a safe-deposit box.  Having two copies
doesn't do any good if they're sitting on the same shelf and the
house burns down or is blown away by a tornado.
