This contest is a little bit more old-man sympathetic than Field Day, as it actually includes an 8 hr. sleep break early Sunday morning. Feel free to drop by and watch, or help me operate. The Stamford Museum and Nature Center is having their Farm Day Festival this weekend as well, so if you want to drop by to visit me, come in through the rear gate on Scofieldtown Rd. and tell the ticket collectors that you are going to the observatory to visit me, and they should wave you on by. The festival is over by around 4:00 PM, so if you come after then, just stroll right through the observatory walkway to the observatory itself. 73, Terry -----Original Message----- From: Urso, Steve - Stamford, CT via CTSARA, CT via CTSARA To: 'CTSARA at mailman.qth.net' Sent: Fri, May 4, 2018 1:08 pm Subject: [CTSARA] New England QSO Party Object: To contact as many New England stations (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont) in as many New England counties as possible on 80-40-20-15-10m.

It has the KXFL3 Roofing Dual Bandwidth Filter and KXAT3 Internal, Wide-Range 20-W Automatic Antenna Tuner options installed. The radio is barely used as I've been busy with a house and a baby in recent years. It also comes with a JetStream JTPS31MB 30A switching power supply. The kit, new, will cost you around 1400-1500USD right now and the going discount rate for a mint condition KX3 is roughly 20%, so my price should be roughly 1100-1200USD. For SARA members, I'm asking for *$1000* I'd prefer to give it to a local HAM than deal with paypal and shipping of an expensive radio so if you are interested or know someone that is interested, let me know.

Multiple sclerosis is a devasting disease, and many of us know people who are affected. Today on the conference call, the race director said "We can't do this ride without hams". As I have said before, this is one of the reasons we get to keep our frequencies, and our hobby continues. Using communications to help our community. The ride starts at Dinosaur Barbeque in Stamford, and proceeds on four different routes. We will be providing comms from in the support vehicles. In addition, we are hoping to get a few hams, with vehicles that can carry bikes, to drive themselves, possibly with a bike mechanic on board. I know some people, like myself, prefer to drive their own vehicles to scout the course. You would need to be on site at about 7:45 am, and it will be over by roughly noon. A free BBQ lunch is part of the deal! Please don't confuse this with the Bloomin' Metric on May 20 (being coordinated by Jon AI1V). We support two bike events very close to each other in timing. If you can help, please reply TO ME (not the lists) and let me know as soon as possible.

From jon.perelstein at gmail.com Sun May 20 18:03:12 2018 From: jon.perelstein at gmail.com (Jon Perelstein) Date: Sun, 20 May 2018 18:03:12 -0400 Subject: [CTSARA] Thanks to Bloomin Metric Hams Message-ID: On Sunday May 20, 24 hams from GNARC, SARA, GFARA (and at least one independent) provided communications for the Bloomin Metric Bike Ride. Our hams provide communications from the SAG vehicles (Support And Gear) as well as from their own vehicles which they use to patrol the four routes (in addition to the SAG vehicles). This year saw close to 1700 bike riders and was a busy year with a relatively large number of minor problems (such as flat tires) due to this week's rain, ride-ending problems such as broken bicycle chains and broken spokes, and a major problem of riders falling and being injured on a bridge along the route (again due to the rain), All in all, our hams were involved in over 50 responses to rider calls for assistance and provided transportation for just under 19 riders who were not able to complete their rides.

The most desirable piece of equipment in the lot is a Yaesu FT-736R VHF/UHF rig. Has anyone ever owned one of these before? I understand that these days the rig fetches between $500-$1,000, depending on which bands are installed on it. As a result, I am trying to determine the easiest way to determine which band modules are installed in the rig, so please comment if you know how. Also, if anyone is interested in purchasing the rig, please let me know, and we can discuss it further. 73, Terry From kb1ylq at gmail.com Wed May 30 17:53:07 2018 From: kb1ylq at gmail.com (KB1YLQ, Steve) Date: Wed, 30 May 2018 17:53:07 -0400 Subject: [CTSARA] Fwd: [gnarc] Net tonight In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <5b0f1d46.1c69fb81.eb316.1e58@mx.google.com> Steve , KB1YLQ?Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone -------- Original message --------From: samd65 Date: 5/30/18 5:09 PM (GMT-05:00) To: GNARC Subject: [gnarc] Net tonight Hi all, There will be a weekly net starting at 8. 146.475 Hope to hear you there. :-) 73,Sam NV1P sent from my phone, please excuse typos. -- Please sign posts with name and call sign if not shown in your user name!! --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GNARC" group.
