About 100 in the club and about 30 show up for the meetings.
 I have a favor to ask. I created a free website which I call ham-cram on steroids.

 The essence of the site is don't study incorrect answers or questions not likelyto be on the actual test
The use of the site will cut required study time in half. 

 Could I come up some time and make a presentation to the ETS club?

 The site is http://ham-cram.com

 Over 95% of the people using my site pass their test on the first try.

 Prep is there for Technician, General and Extra class licenses.

Message-ID: <CAE+kjPdpve7iQ+bc-0UpK5W0sskvfBB1t+UEGhu4ZbuFq0R+8g@mail.gmail.com>

      Members;

 Listening to the WIN system on an IRLP repeater a while back and came
across this segment they have called the Tech Net on Friday nights on this
system.I think its really good.The WIN system is bridged to Allstar making
easy access to link up.

     This net is hosted by "Shorty" K6JSI who is really great at running
this net. It is open to all that wish to ask him something pertaining to
Ham Radio and he can answer the basic questions or on the most advanced
subjects. No, he's not a Gordon West or the ultimate foremost authority in
Ham Radio, but knowledgeable and holds his own. I have listened to other
tech nets through the years and most of them are very self contained and
not into outsiders being involved in some cases.Not so here.

      I'm proposing to the membership to air the Tech Net on our 2 meter
repeater on Friday nights on a temporary trial basis to see what the
general consensus is for this net.This net would air 22:00 hrs on Friday
night and would last for just an hour. Yes...the hour is kind of late, but
we are talking West coast time. At the end of the net, the 2 meter repeater
will be disconnected and returned to normal local amateur use with sleep
mode enabled at midnight and available for use at 0400.

     Should an emergency happen during this special net broadcast,  the
repeater will be disconnected and available for anything else that may
require disconnection.

     Just looking for ways to make our club/hobby more interesting(Not that
its not)The Sunday night social net in tandem with this proposed Friday
night net special, may be a good fit. If it is, we could keep it as a
regular program. If not, we can drop it,Not my decision to make.Website is
what this network is all about

     Members;

Listening to the WIN system on an IRLP repeater a while back and came
across this segment they have called the Tech Net on Friday nights on this
system.I think its really good.The WIN system is bridged to Allstar making
easy access to link up.

    This net is hosted by "Shorty" K6JSI who is really great at running
this net. It is open to all that wish to ask him something pertaining to
Ham Radio and he can answer the basic questions or on the most advanced
subjects. No, he's not a Gordon West or the ultimate foremost authority in
Ham Radio, but knowledgeable and holds his own. I have listened to other
tech nets through the years and most of them are very self contained and
not into outsiders being involved in some cases.Not so here.

     I'm proposing to the membership to air the Tech Net on our 2 meter
repeater on Friday nights on a temporary trial basis to see what the
general consensus is for this net.This net would air 22:00 hrs on Friday
night and would last for just an hour. Yes...the hour is kind of late, but
we are talking West coast time. At the end of the net, the 2 meter repeater
will be disconnected and returned to normal local amateur use with sleep
mode enabled at midnight and available for use at 0400.

    Should an emergency happen during this special net broadcast,  the
repeater will be disconnected and available for anything else that may
require disconnection.

    Just looking for ways to make our club/hobby more interesting(Not that
its not)The Sunday night social net in tandem with this proposed Friday
night net special, may be a good fit. If it is, we could keep it as a
regular program. If not, we can drop it,Not my decision to make.Website is
what this network is all about

Mark,


Yes you're right. After he husband died she no longer had the same 
sustained interest. This is not uncommon. She was a wonderful person and 
to many of us in PARC she was always there. Whether her license is 
active or not is not important at this time.

Yesterday Jeff called me from the hospital around 2pm and then his older daughter called me around 5pm. He said he was grateful that Dan handled the Net on Wednesday. His daughter told me that his family could not believe that his condition improved so much from Friday to Saturday. Barring any setbacks its possibly that Jeff may be released from the hospital by the end of the day Monday. See wanted me to let you guys know. I also told her that Dave as the president would let the other member know. Good news!

hazardous
       materials such as oxygen and acetylene welding gas cylinders
had an
       accident in front of you?? View the video below for what actually
       happens. It's spectacular, ?catastrophic and

ARLB008 FCC Seeks Comments on Petition to Grant Lifetime Amateur
Radio Licenses

The FCC is seeking comments on a Petition for Rule Making (RM 11760
- available on the web at,
http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/view?id=60001333714 ) that asks
the FCC to grant lifetime Amateur Radio licenses. Mark F. Krotz,
N7MK, of Mesa, Arizona, filed his request with the FCC last
November. He wants the FCC to revise Part 97.25 of its rules to
indicate that Amateur Radio licenses are granted for the holder's
lifetime, instead of for the current 10 year term. Krotz noted that
the General Radiotelephone Operator License (GROL) already is issued
on a lifetime basis, and he maintained that not having to renew
licenses would lighten the FCC's workload.

"It would be mutually beneficial for the FCC and Amateur Radio
operators to update Part 97 to grant operator licenses for lifetime,
Krotz said in his filing. "The FCC would benefit by reducing
administrative costs."

In 2014 the FCC granted lifetime credit for examination elements 3
and 4, but applicants seeking relicensing under that provision still
must pass examination element 2.

Individuals may submit comments
(http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/proceeding/view?name=RM-11760) via the
FCC's Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS).

Message-ID: <16002567.1b908.153158c9d8a.Webtop.59@optonline.net>

Members,


Just a heads up: The Lion's Club next pancake breakfast will be held on 
March 6, 2016 at the Scitch Plains Country Club on Jerusalem rd in Scoth 
Plains, NJ. I believe the hours are 0800 to noon.


They really dish out a grand spread of all you can eat pancakes, eggs, 
ham, sausage and Orange Juice. All are served by the local Boy Scout 
Troop and your coffee cup will never run dry.


For more information contact Mike Solomon at aar2vz68 at juno.com or

Subject: [ETS/PARC List] jammers and LIDS
Message-ID: <001f01d1733b$fa43b120$eecb1360$@optimum.net>

            We are currently experiencing an increase in the number of
illegal operators on our local repeaters.

Do not engage them in any way. It is best to simply end your conversation,
and return later or QSY to another frequency.

In extreme instances, the repeater may be disabled for a period on time. Do
not panic, it's not that important.

            Ham radio is a secondary service in the eyes of the FCC. As
such, it does not warrant much attention.

However, we are a valuable communication resource in the event of a
disaster, and that is where we may be

able to gain some traction. If these jammers are not pursued, then they very
possibly may interrupt emergency

communication when it is most needed.

            Perhaps if there were some arrests across the country, and there
was lots of publicity in the media and social media,

the problem would subside.
