cardboard" thing again.

Tomorrow night's pizza will be at

(203) 968-1010 ?
It's just below the corner of Vine and High Ridge (across from Rippowam

Ice Cream.  There's a BIG parking lot in the back!!!
I hope to see you all at 6:00 pm at Sorrento's

http://www.stamfordadvocate.com/default/article/Radio-stations-WSTC-WNLK-sol
d-2247688.php

 

Radio stations WSTC (1400AM) and WNLK (1350AM) were sold to Sacred Heart
University.  

 

This could be a good thing for Stamford and Norwalk because Cox Broadcasting
(the former owner) had repeatedly refused to cut into their
advertiser-supported syndicated shows to provide information to the public
during the March 2010 storm, during Irene, and during the storm this past
weekend.   Sacred Heart will be operating them as listener supported NPR
stations, which means that not only will they not have a financial incentive
to ignore emergency coverage, but in fact will have a financial incentive to
make themselves valuable to the area by providing coverage during
emergencies.

 

Without indicating a political preference, I will note that this coming
Monday will be a good time to be a cardiac care doctor in this area because
the stations will be switching from mostly right-wing programming such as
Neil Boortz and Lisa Wexler to NPR, which is anathema to the kinds of people
who listen to Neil Boortz and Lisa Wexler.  I predict that EMS will be kept
busy dealing with cardiac events when current WSTC/WNLK listeners suddenly
hear NPR on those stations.

I did not feel there was a shortage of information on the airwaves during
any of these events across the AM and FM frequencies.I don't think it is
'poo poo on 1400 for not covering XYZ because of $$$.' I never heard
anything interesting to listen to on those frequencies anyway.... Maybe i'm
small sample to show why they were sold (not profitable).

It is not like they are the only radio stations available for reception in
Connecticut. 1400/1350 AM possibly made the wrong decision to never
broadcast important local news. Some news organizations feature that a
selling point (ie News 12) and they seem to do well.

I didn't know Fairfield County was so predominantly conservative that we'll
have high number of casualties due to cardiac arrest. As someone that would
indicate political preference (Libertarian/Republican), I think my physical
and emotional constitution is strong enough to withstand the loss of any
conservative radio show.  We're all not *that* weak. We have Rush Limbaugh,
anyway.

I worked at 1400 during its better days.  Frankly it was the best job I ever had and at the time, the best people I ever worked for.

There are many factors that contributed to the demise of the station as we know it beginning in the 90s.

I'll be happy to discuss this off list with anyone who wants to.

Just a reminder to everyone that George, K1EHW will be speaking about
antennas tonight.

He will be covering mobile VHF/UHF and HF antennas, as well as the results
of some antenna testing he's done over the years (some of which appeared in
a QST article not too long ago).

George has been in ham radio for a long time and has a lot of good
experience AND has done a lot of real-world testing.  Since the antenna is
what really determines whether we get the QSO or not, I'm really looking
forward to hearing what George has to say.

As a reminder:  pizza at 6:00 (really 6:15) at

Sorrento
879 High Ridge Road
Stamford

It's in the little strip mall at the intersection of Vine and High Ridge.
 There is plenty of parking in the rear of the building.

See you tonight

Hi List Members,

The meeting the other night was really good.  George, K1EHW, did a very interesting talk about mobile antennas, operating HF mobile, etc.  it made me anxious to try 60 meters some day.

I'm very glad to see how the club has progressed in its relationship with the city of Stamford.  it can only continue to improve from here.

I look forward to doing my share with SARA in the up coming year.

Subject: [CTSARA] Power Supply gauge and voltage loss with the home rig
Message-ID: <CAOYDRvx0hSPbjvju-9MrPjG0sR_hQABptQByT-noOZ+AmQRqCg@mail.gmail.com>

After seeing George's presentation and hearing Jon's question about the
gauge wire we use from the power supply to a rig at home, I examined my own
setup.

I had noticed that I was getting the same signal noise ratio from my FT920
as I was through my Elecraft K1 on a few skimmers on reversebeacon.net. Not
saying this is the best way of measuring my actual power output but it got
me wondering if my FT-920 was actually getting the power it needed.

I run a Yaesu FT-920 and what seems to be the stock power supply cable. It
was over  6' long.  It is also only 14awg.

I measured the voltage at the back of my rig with the key down. Turns out
my voltage was dropping down to 11.7v. I shortened the power supply cable
to a reasonable length for my desk, about 17". Now the voltage stays above
13v.

Thanks a lot for a lot of great information George and a really good
question Jon.

I leave my mobile radio on 146.52 a lot of the time.  This morning while
pulling into the CVS in Shelton on Hawley Ln before work I heard W2NCH
calling. I replied back and we had a nice qso. He sounded like he was right
next door but turns out he was about 90 miles away in NJ. I am running a
FT-7900R with a mag-mount antenna on the roof.

I said I wouldn't use this list to comment on the change that took place as 
WSTC and WNLK became non-commercial, listener supported NPR stations last 
Sunday night however I was going through some old messages and I think the 
line about Lisa Wexler and Neil boortz by John, WB2RYV is the line of the 
day even if this was sent a few days ago.

As of 11/9/11, police in CT (either State Police or local police in
Norwalk, Fairfield, etc.) have nine open cases in which they are
investigating death threats made against the stations' new
owners/managers/talent or threats of physical attack on the station and its
equipment.   The FBI acknowledges 14 open cases, but it's not clear if that
includes the nine cases being handled by state/local police.

I know about the threats involving WNLK/WSTC because I was at a Stamford
emergency communications planning meeting yesterday and the subject of
whether or not WSTC will go from being useless to useful in future
emergencies came up.  One of the people in the meeting (a police captain)
mentioned the threats.

To be fair -- there are almost always threats when a broadcast radio
station changes formats -- even from one music format to another (you can
never trust those classical music types).  However, the threats tend to be
more vitriolic and specific when it involves (a) a move away from
right-wing political formats, (b) a move away from religious formats, or
(c) a move away from gansta hip-hop and/or a perceived change in focus from
one faction of gangsta hip-hop to another.  I have this information from a
client that happens to be the largest radio network/syndicator in the
country, and they tell me that law enforcement tends to not laugh off
threats in those three areas.

I am leaving Echolink off until the DNS is working. Renewed the prescription and not even sure if it is working. If a problem happens I will be reasonable. Until I can connect to WB1GRB-R. 

 

Netflex on my TV I am going to cancel probably tomorrow.

On the first and third Saturdays of each month from 4pm to 7:00, I host a program on WPKN 89.5 FM in Bridgeport, CT.  The station also streams on the net at www.wpkn.org.

This week, my guests will be John and Larry Gassman.  They host a show called same time same station.  it is heard Saturdays at 3pm eastern on www.yesterdayusa.com and throughout the week on a variety of websites.

We will be talking about old-time radio and I will take phone calls from the audience during the conversation.  The interview will begin at 5:00.

WPKN's over the air signal can not be heard that well in the Stamford area due to WSOU in New Jersey being on the same frequency.

You can listen online by going to www.wpkn.org.  Scroll down to where it says listen now.  That is not a clickable link.

After that, click on where it says ing/play_new.  Then click on where it says listen with flash (recommended.)  The stream should come on after that.

WPKN is a noncommercial, listener supported radio station.  We do not accept funds from NPR, the government or any corporations.  This gives the volunteer programmers, of which I am one, the freedom to do what we want as long as what we broadcast does not violate the terms of the station's FCC license.  There are only two paid employees.

Again the interview with John and Larry Gassman about old-time radio will take place this Saturday at 5pm on WPKN 89.5 FM in Bridgeport and online at www.wpkn.org.  Hope you'll be able to listen in.

For those of you who always wanted to put up a tower -- check this out.  It
can handle up to about 9 pounds of antenna AND it can handle winds up to 30
mph and it's only about $1200.  Such a deal.

I keep thinking that their web site will have the words "April Fools"
somewhere in big flashing letters, but they seem to seriously think that
people will buy these at $1200/tower.

For reference -- for about $30 bucks, you can get military surplus
fiberglass poles that can withstand winds of about 60 mph and support about
30 pounds.

For this month we're going to do something a little different - focus more
on some holiday socializing and less on presentations (although of course we
will have a short presentation).

 

To aid the socializing, we're going to have a holiday potluck - everyone
please bring some dessert or finger food for sharing.  We'll provide plates,
plastic-ware, and soda/water.  I'm told that there will also be
(non-alcoholic eggnog).  If there's something special you want to drink,
feel free to bring it BUT REMEMBER NO ALCOHOL.

 

Adam W1ASB will talk about his experience working the PJ2T contest station
in Curacao, where he made something around 2500 QSOs in just a few days
during the DX contest.  Given recent weather history, we'll also have a
brief review of how to buy and use a portable generator for home emergency
power.

 

We'll open the EOC at 7:30pm instead of the usual 8:00pm.

 

I hope to see you all at our Dec meeting.

Next SARA Meeting December 1, 2011 

http://www.ctsara.org/ctsara_meeting.html

 

 

December SARA Meeting and Holiday Party

 

The December 1, monthly meeting will start a half an hour earlier, at 7:30 pm, and consist of a modest holiday party and one or two brief presentations. The pre-meeting pizza dinner will start correspondingly earlier as well, at 6:00 pm. The holiday party will include light hors d?oeuvres and deserts, most likely potluck fashion but we are also considering procuring comestibles from Costco and/or Stew Leonard?s. The club will provide plates, napkins, cutlery and beverages from its current inventory. 

 

Adam PJ2/W1ASB will present on operating the PJ2T contest station during the recent CQ WW DX SSB contest and Jon WB2RYV may give an updated version of his presentation on generators.

Sorrento's worked very nicely last month, so let's do it again.

 

Since we want to start this month's meeting a little early (7:30 rather than
8:00pm), let's meet for pizza at 6:00pm

The goal is potluck for this Thursday's meeting.

 

Please send an email to me or to John Sabini telling us what you're going to
bring so we have an idea of how many plates, etc.  Please, nothing too messy
because we don't have a place to wash up equipment afterwards.

 

The club will provide soda and you can bring your own beverage.  Fred is
bringing eggnog.  No alcohol please.

We'll be meeting at 6pm at Sorrento for pizza for those who would like to
have a sit-down dinner.  Sorrento is 879 High Ridge and those of us getting
together for pizza will be meeting about 6pm.


We're also asking people to bring a dessert or snack finger-food potluck to
the meeting.  Something NOT very messy since our meetings are in the EOC.
 The club will be providing soda and non-alcoholic eggnog.  The club will
also have plates, plasticware, and cups.

Our monthly meeting will take place tomorrow evening (Dec. 1).  WE WILL BE
STARTING AT 7:30PM instead of our usual time!!

 

For this month we're going to do something a little different - focus more
on some holiday socializing and less on presentations (although we will have
a few short presentations).

 

To aid the socializing, we're going to have a holiday potluck - everyone
please bring some dessert or not-too-messy finger food for sharing.  We'll
provide plates, plastic-ware, and soda/water.  I'm told that there will also
be (non-alcoholic) eggnog.  If there's something special you want to drink,
feel free to bring it BUT REMEMBER NO ALCOHOL.

 

Adam W1ASB and Gus W1BV will talk about their experience working the PJ2T
contest station in Curacao, where they made some crazy number of QSOs in
just a few days during the DX contest.  Given recent weather history, we'll
also have a brief review of how to buy and set up a portable generator for
home emergency power.

 

Because of the earlier time for the meeting, we'll be meeting at 6pm at
Sorrento for pizza for those who would like to have a sit-down dinner.
Sorrento is 879 High Ridge in the little strip mall on the south side of the
High Ridge/Vine Rd. intersection.  There is ample parking in the back.
