Martin Minnicino WN2SJL -----Original Message----- From: Gerry Miller [mailto:aa2zj at juno.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 09, 2015 9:49 PM Subject: FCC Enforcement Bureau shut down I am sure that everyone is now aware of the FCC's recent proposal to close the majority of the FCC's Enforcement Bureau Field Offices and reduce the staffing of the FCC EB Field Agents from 66 to 33. In my option, the proposal is severely misguided and if implemented, will cause additional major problems for all of us who are broadcast (and communication) engineers or Amateur Radio Operrators and are involved in the process of emitting RF and work diligently to keep the interference to a minimum to those that receive our signals on a daily basis. After over 45 years of personally locating and fighting interference, I certainly don't need additional impediments by the very government agency, who job is to help perform this function. A few persons wrote and published excellent articles. For those who have not read them on the ramifications of the proposed closures, I recommend they read and review them. This coming Thursday, June 11, Representative Greg Walden, Chairman of the U.S. Congress House Communications Subcommittee will chair a hearing with the FCC's Managing Director Jon Wilkins on the "hot seat" attempting to explain their reasoning for proposing such a move. For what it is worth, I know that Representative Walden knows the ramifications of the FCC's proposed actions, as he, himself is a radio station owner and amateur radio licensee. http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/washington/house-hearing-slated-fcc-of fice-closures/141387 Click on the above link and take a couple of minutes to read the above article. If you believe that the proposed closing of the Enforcement Bureau's Field Offices is a misguided idea, it is important for YOU to take a few minutes to compose an short email on the subject to explain your concerns and send your email to Representative Walden's two Congressional staffers, who are advising him of your feelings on the matter. Ray Baum is Representative Walden's staffer in his D.C. office and Risa Wonsyld is located in his Oregon office. Those two staffers and their email addresses are: Ray.Baum at mail.house.gov Risa.Wonsyld at mail.house.gov If you will take a minute to email both staffers above, we can get this misguided proposal killed off, before it gets totally out of control. As many of you know, the FCC answers directly to Congress and their funding is directly tied to what Congress mandates that they do. Your efforts in this matter is appreciated. By the way,. I have listed all of the members of the House Communications Subcommittee below. If you have extra time, it would help to forward your email to as many members on the list below as you can.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <002301d0a560$cc301110$64903330$@optonline.net> ----- Original Message ----- From: Marvin Bronstein To: RVRC Distribution Sent: Friday, June 12, 2015 4:01 PM Subject: An ICON in ham radio now SK.... On my way home from being the guest speaker at a club meeting last night, I realized I hadn't spoken to Bill Pasternak in a few weeks and thought to myself that a chat with Bill while I was driving home would be fun. But I got his voice mail instead of himself, and I left a message. "I'm in the car and will be until 7:30 your time," I said. "If you get back before then, give me a call. Otherwise, I'll talk to you tomorrow." Sadly, tomorrow will not come as Bill became a Silent Key last night. Bill, WA6ITF, was a Brooklyn boy whose roots went deep in the borough. He was a New Yorker who lived in California. He first became a ham in 1959 with the call of WA2HVK. That boyhood interest in all things electronic led him into his lifelong love of radio and a career in radio and television that lasted until the day he died. His list of accomplishments are long. Please read his bio at: http://www.arnewsline.org/staffbios/bill-pasternak-wa6itf.html http://www.qcwa.org/wa6itf-27158.htm and, of course, don't skip the photo of his as a young man in from of his plane on QRZ. I first met Bill in 2004 after I had become the ARES DEC for New York City. Bill, who was an original member of RACES in New York City back in the early 60s, called me on the phone and said that he was making one of his semi-annual trips back home (yes, to Brooklyn, which was always "home") and he wanted to do a story for ARNewsline. We became friends as we talked for hours about radio, RACES, NYC, Brooklyn, New York City. (I've attached a photo of his RACES badge - I believe the only one from NYC still in existence. He was very proud of that!) We found that we shared a common love of the theatre. Bill would always see a few shows when he was in town. We talked periodically over the ensuing years. I would call to say hi, he would do the same. As his health began its decline, the trips to New York went from difficult to impossible. The last time I saw Bill was a few years ago. We spent the day together as I drove him from stop to stop throughout the City. He came into New York to see to the care of a friend of his who was living in a facility in Brooklyn. To travel across the country to care for a friend despite his own declining health spoke volumes of his character. He was, as we say, a mensch. I often wonder how you measure a person's success in life. Some would say that you measure an individual by the amount of wealth they've acquired. I would say that the true measure of value of an individual is by the amount lives they've touched. If that is the case, then Bill died a very wealthy man. The thousands of us who have crossed his path are truly blessed for knowing him. Bill was 73 years young. Too soon. Too soon.

Field Day is an event where amateur radio operators in the United States demonstrate how they can set up and operate in a public place under emergency situations. Hams work each other. They used equipment to work each other on different bands and modes (AM, FM, SSB, CW, and as many Digital modes as possible). Come out and learn how to operate in the field and have fun at the same time. We will be in Spring Lake Park in South Plainfield, NJ. The park is near the intersection of Maple Ave. and Plainfield Ave. we will be 100-200' West of the Gazebo. If you haven't made plans for this year's event consider joining SPARC in the park. 73, Drew Moore, W2OU 732-801-4654 ------------------------------ *IPhone-forgive Typos* From k2dsv at msn.com Thu Jun 25 12:45:22 2015 From: k2dsv at msn.com (Don WILSON) Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2015 12:45:22 -0400 Subject: [ETS/PARC List] FW: 6 meter openings In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: 6 METERS ?

I hope everyone has a great time participating in the largest test of Amateur Radio preparedness in the world! I?ll be visiting clubs in Northern New Jersey this year. Vie-Director Bill Hudzik W2UDT will be traversing throughout Eastern New York, and I know that our Section Managers, Pete Cecere N2YJZ, Jim Mezey W2KFV, and Rich Krohn N2SMV will be out there as well. = = = = = = = = = = I?d like to update you with the current push to get The Amateur Radio Parity Act, a bill designed to get PRB-1 protections extended to all forms of land use regulations, to become the law of the land. As of this morning we have 83 cosponsors of the House Bill HR-1301. This amounts to nearly 20% of the entire House of Representatives. As of yesterday we now have a companion bill in the Senate. S. 1685 is the bill number and it is identical to the House version. I was in Washington again last week talking to Senate staffers in anticipation of the bill dropping. Our reception was good and we believe that the bill has an excellent chance of moving forward. It is my hope that the bills will be marked-up in both houses of Congress sometime later this year. We will be starting a Senate letter writing campaign in the near future, similar to the effort we?ve been making in the House of Representatives. Our success is very dependent on the participation of the membership, so when we do ask for letters and emails, please participate. = = = = = = = = = That?s it for now.

Whether you are a contester or not, please get on the air and make some Field Day contacts this weekend! Less than 56 hours from now, Field Day 2015 will be finishing up. Between now and then, groups all over the continent are making final preparations, getting equipment, generators, food, rigs and computers together, antennas airborne, coordinating operating schedules and all the little things that make Field Day go. In many cases they will be on the air for many hours, striving to both show off the amazing hobby of Amateur Radio and turn in a competitive score. It is a huge amount of fun and a heck of a lot of work! Please help reward their great efforts by providing plenty of QSOs for their logs! Even if you aren't a contester and you only have an hour to spare this weekend from home, please fire up your rig and give as many stations as you can a contact. Every group you call will really appreciate your QSO and it will make their Field Day that much more enjoyable! In addition, you might be able to pick up a few more states towards your Worked All States Award. If you are ambitious, it is very possible that you can achieve the goal of working every state this weekend alone! For folks new to Field Day, if you are on a single transmitter home station with commercial power, your exchange is simple. You'll simply send your Call, your Class as 1D and your ARRL section. Just be aware you can't call other 1D stations for contest points, but all the other station categories will love for you to give them a call! If you are new to Field Day, you'll find the complete rules here: http://www.arrl.org/field-day This video will demonstrate the basics of logging a Field Day contact with my Field Day logging software: https://youtu.be/DJEIXuoKWqc You'll find the Field Day logging software here: http://www.n3fjp.com/fieldday.html And if you would like to find a local Field Day group, this locator will point the way: http://www.arrl.org/field-day-locator Encouraging visitors can change a life (and even affect yours)! When I was 14 years old, a family friend took my Dad and me to a local Field Day on a Saturday evening. That was my first exposure to Amateur Radio. I didn't understand the significance at the time, but the guys had an amazing run going as we arrived at their site. Still, they took the time to explain what was going on, the exchange and they were completely willing to abandon their run to encourage this shy, 14 year old to take over the mic. I got started, the run resumed and so much was happening I forgot all about being nervous. Before I knew it I was having a blast! Anyone who has ever been at the bottom of a pile up, running a frequency, knows the thrill. They kindly said I was a natural and I was hooked! Had it not been for the positive, encouraging spirit of that great group, willing to forego an awesome run for the sake of possibly encouraging a kid, I'd very likely never have become an Amateur Radio operator. I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing today and there would never have been N3FJP Software for you to use. Those couple hours changed my life and hopefully, through my software, has brought some added enjoyment to yours too! If you see a visitor with a hint of intrigue in their eye, please offer them that same gracious encouragement that was given to me. It's very possible that you will be helping to shape a destiny and we will all be better for it! Help for Setting up Field Day Networking. If you are planning on networking the Field Day software this weekend, hopefully you've already gotten your PCs / network equipment together before now and have that configured to go. If you haven't, do it this evening! You don't want to be troubleshooting Saturday morningwith the clock ticking! For those of you that still have that task ahead, these links will help get you going: General setup information: http://www.n3fjp.com/help/networkinghelp.html Video demonstrating how to network my software on multiple PCs: https://youtu.be/noNyfS4vPlk How to correct any SQL Command errors: http://www.n3fjp.com/faq.html#q69 If you are running multiple stations but aren't networking, here is how to combine your log data after the contest: http://www.n3fjp.com/faq.html#q65 Have Fun! Kimberly, a couple ham friends and I are planning to run 2E (home station emergency power) from here at the house. We hope to work you this weekend!

FREE AM TRANSMITTERS Sent: 29 June, 2015 21:26 To: undisclosed Subject: AM Transmitters Free If You Haul Them Away I have a client whose shack is clogged with a couple of tubed transmitters. We need to make room for a new main in less than a month, so either or both of the transmitters are free to someone who will pick them up in Lynchburg, VA. One is an ITA AM-1000, the other is a CCA AM 10000D. If someone wants to gut one or the other for parts (I am pretty sure that neither currently works) we will toss what is left outdoors until we can scrap them. If one or both go untaken they will go outdoors until scrapped. Dale H.
