Subject: [CTSARA] Amateur Operators Needed for the 2015 Bloomin Metric
Message-ID: <CAFdYx3VfNK3wt2urBCT9d9zXO8CtcDaitwqfm+yqzShSzRdExg@mail.gmail.com>

The Bloomin Metric charity bicycle ride is Sunday May 31 and we need radio
operators.  The start time will be around 7pm and we can expect to be
operating until about 2pm  (with some people shutting down by 1pm and a few
hanging on until about 3pm).

SARA and GNARC have always provided support for the Bloomin, and I hope
that Fairfield will join us this year.  The Bloomin Metric will have over
2500 registered riders and raises funds for a number of charities in
southwestern CT including the Bennett Cancer Center/Stamford Hospital Hope
In Motion event.  The Hope In Motion event was merged into the Bloomin
Metric last year in part through our (ham radio) efforts and Hope In Motion
was able to net considerably more from bicycle riding than it had been able
to net operating on its own.

Coverage of the Bloomin is a joint project of the clubs in the area.  We
are going to need at least 15 operators total, so please do what you can to
participate.  If you can't participate from 7am to 2pm, please contact me
because we can probably accommodate you for whatever hours you can give us.

Last year we did some interesting technology stuff with an on-the-fly
cross-band repeater and this year we going to try to incorporate DMR into
our toolkit.

Many of the coverage positions will be mobile in vehicles supplied by the
event - so the people providing mobile support will need to be able to move
their radio and antenna into/onto the event vehicles.  All mobile stations
will need at least 25 watts (50 watt radios preferred) with externally
mounted 1/4 wave or 1/2 wave antennas (mag mount).  People at the rest
stops will need at least 25 watt radios with decent antennas - for example,
something mounted on your car.

We have some spare radios between the two clubs, so if all you have is an
HT but want to participate, we may be able to arrange it.

Please contact me ASAP if you would like to participate.

Thanks to Andrew KB3CZA for pointing out that I had a typo on the event time

No, it is not a night-time ride!!

The correct time is:

The start time will be around 0700 local and we can expect to be operating
until about 1400 local (with some people shutting down by 1300 local and a
few hanging on until about 1500 local).

Betsy's caution is spot-on; the Feds messed up CT's exemption.  The article in Nov 2013 " "Distracted Driving Legislation: Proceed With Caution"says:

"When the State of Connecticut applied for a grant to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) it was advised that its distracted driving statute was not in compliance with the conditions of the program because its Amateur Radio exception was not one of the three exceptions permitted under
the law. And sure enough, the Notice of Funding Availability issued by NHTSA lists the three permitted exceptions and goes on to say, ?No other exceptions are permitted under MAP-21.?
The state was not about to turn away federal money, so in its 2013 session the Connecticut General Assembly amended the statute to limit the use of a hand-held radio by a licensed amateur
to emergencies only ? exactly what we were hoping to  avoid."

so, does the apply to and installed radio with a handheld mic?  That would not be a hand held radio? :)

So, this is a distracted driving law.  As long as you aren?t distracted, and driving within the laws, there is no reason you would get stopped.

The Norwalk Fire Dept has asked GNARC to assist in a city-wide effort to
install smoke detectors.  It's not a radio thing - it's a climb on ladders
with screwdriver and drill and install smoke detectors thing - but it is
the type of thing where hams can show that they are useful to the community.

If any of you have free time this weekend, GNARC could sure use our help
and it will be good publicity for ham radio.

> Seven Times a day in the United States, someone dies in a home fire.  Even more frequently, American Red Cross volunteers provide help to families who have lost their homes to devastating fires.  It's more important than ever that we all join together to save lives, reduce injuries and cut down on needless losses from home fires.

2014-2018 Technician study guide (Questions with Answers Only)

For years I have put together a copy of the FCC Tech Q&A Pool with JUST the
questions and the answers for studying. Lately I was asked to create
another.

Below is a link to a study guide for the 2014-2018 Technician Test.  I find
that if I study the questions with ONLY the answers attached, I can
memorize and pass a test much easier.

If you know of anyone who wants to try it here is the link.

Let me know how it works?

Subject: [CTSARA] CALLING ALL HAMS!
Message-ID: <CAH_dscLk1KxjnmBXpJgThnYYZW0BHvya-WMK9GwvGis-mSvqLw@mail.gmail.com>

As all of us have heard last Saturday there was a major earthquake in
Nepal, with aftershocks that may not yet be over. What you may not know is
that there is currently an HF traffic net running on 14.205, with a
secondary frequency of 14.215, and there's a call for North American
operators. Part of being a ham is assisting in emergency communications,
and this is an opportunity to provide assistance.

While very few of us have legal limit stations with beams at home (and if
you do please think of checking in) I know that most of us don't. The club
currently has an amplifier, but it needs a little bit of work to get it up
and running. I believe the issue is with the band switch being stuck. If
anyone would be willing to repair it please let me know. Once we get that
on the air we'll need people to operate. Again, please let me know if
you're available.

If someone has the experience and time to be a net control operator please
contact Amir Bazak (4X6TT) at +972-50-715-9000. As stated above, if there's
someone willing to do it the club will provide the station.

73,
Sam Dick
