No in person meeting on Thursday folks. Gonna have a net instead. 7pm on
the repeater (link is up as of now, not great audio but usable). If the
link is down, we will attempt a simplex relay with stations who can't get
into the 985.

Asking participating stations to check in using back up power instead of
grid and share with the net stations what type of power you chose and why.

If time permits, we will active the RACES cross and radio at the Barstow
tower site and see who can access it from their QTH.

Hoping to hear from you then.

Thanks!

Don't forget folks. No in person Auxcomm meeting tonight. We're gonna have
a net instead. Please check in on the 985/950 (if the link is up) at 7pm
using some form of back up power. Battery, solar, generator, etc. Whatever
you've chosen to back up your station if grid power is lost.

If time permits, we'll activate the crossband repeat radio at Barstow and
see who can access it from their QTH. The input frequency for it is
439.862.5 with a tone of 118.8.

If the repeater link is down, please call on 146.985 simplex and we'll see
if someone can relay you in.

Hope to hear from you.

FYI...

Should a Skywarn net become necessary, it will have priority over the
Auxcomm net.

Subject: [CALV-AUXCOMM] Tape Measure Yagi Build - RSVP
Message-ID: <2028618167.153313.1782762160744@connect.xfinity.com>

All,
 
At our next AUXCOMM meeting on July 16, we will be building some three element tape measure Yagi antennas for fox hunting (other uses too).
 
PLEASE RSVP BY JULY 4th IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BUILDING AN ANTENNA SO WE CAN GET THE MATERIALS.
 
There will be a modest cost, likely under $20.00, to cover the materials.
 
TNX and have a great holiday.

I have 4 BNC connectors and RG58 coax(not sure how much) that AD3DT left at
Field Day for anyone's use and I have a 20'-25' section of RG58 with BNC
connectors at both ends not being used that can be cut and used. What
tools, soldering iron, etc. will we need? Think it's ok to produce the
fumes/smoke in that room?
