As an old astronomy buff and I think Pete KD2ARB, who is more experienced
than I, would agree ..... DO NOT try to view the eclipse directly !  I know
there are places out there offering "eclipse glasses".  Don't risk your
retinas on something you're not sure of.  The only safe way to directly
view a solar eclipse is through something on the order of welder's glass.
Otherwise, the best method is to view it by projection.  It's super easy to
do and that's how I viewed the '72 partial eclipse.

https://eclipse.aas.org/eye-safety/projection

Remember, your eyesight is too valuable to risk it on viewing devices that
you're not sure of.

Sounds like a good reason to stay home! But if you go, be prepared!

Incidentally, Ace Hardware is selling solar viewing glasses for $1.99 each, $4.99 for special shapes (with larger lenses).

Enjoy the lunacy!

** Amateur Radio Parity Act **
Friendly reminder: please reach out to Senators Booker and Menendez and ask them to support S. 1534. The ARRL has opened a RallyCongress page to simplify the task.

A hearty thanks to Ed Efchak, WX2R, for accepting the role of NNJ Public Information Coordinator! Ed brings to the position experience from his career in media and marketing. He is a member of the Fair Lawn Amateur Radio Club (FLARC) and has served as the clubs Public Information Officer.

*** Scouting Solar Eclipse Viewing event ***
Monday, Aug 21st there will be a Solar eclipse. Boy Scout Troop 159 ( http://olqptroopandpack159.org/ ) is planning a viewing event at Wallish Farms in West Milford. All Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts are invited to attend. Scott Wylie, WY1LIE, will be setting up an HF station and participating in the SEQP ( http://hamsci.org/solar-eclipse-qso-party ) demonstrating amateur radio and promoting citizen science. The science part if the SEQP fulfills a requirement for a STEM award. Girl Scouts will be encouraged to explore the ARRL Radio and Wireless patch ( http://www.arrl.org/girl-scouts-radio-patch ) while Boy Scouts will be informed about the Radio Merit Badge. Please tell any Scout troops you are affiliated with and also please consider helping out at the event.

*** Posters ***
I'm excited about the new posters the League has made available! ( http://www.arrl.org/pr-posters ) These are a by-product of the League's participation in the Boy Scout Jamboree. The PDF of all six posters in the series is available for download. They were originally designed to be printed on 11x17 paper but look really sharp when printed on 8.5x11 photo paper. If you're having a public event consider printing out a few and displaying in a tabletop frame. ( http://nnj.arrl.org/media/poster.jpeg )

*** Section website ***
The OFFICIAL section website is ready and can be found at http://nnj.arrl.org/ This is an alternative place to get breaking information if you don't do the FACEBOOK or TWITTER thing. This will also be the home for resources (files, photos, links) produced by the Section Cabinet.

*** ARES NEWS ***
>From John, W2VTV SEC ARES:
We have noticed that many amateurs in the Section have completed the Emergency communications classes. If you have not registered with ARES, we invite you to come on board. To simplify the process, the ARES registration form, FSD98, can be downloaded at ( http://nnj.arrl.org/media/fsd98.pdf ). You can fill in the form using Adobe Acrobat. When complete, "save as" with your call. Email it to me at: NNJSEC at gmail.com. I will forward it to your county DEC. You will be added to the Section ARES email list with reminders of upcoming nets, exercises and events. Hope to hear from you, 73 John

Dear ARRL Member:

Based on feedback I?ve received, it seems to me that some members still don?t fully understand certain features of the Amateur Radio Parity Act (ARPA) and what it is meant to do. To make things clearer, we have developed an FAQ in the format of questions and answers. Please take a few minutes and read the FAQ to learn more about the ARPA.

Here is the direct link:
http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Regulatory/The%20Amateur%20Radio%20Parity%20Act%20FAQ.pdf

Here is another link with additional information:
http://www.arrl.org/amateur-radio-parity-act

Thanks to those of you who have written your Senators in support of the ARPA. If you have not done so, please do so by clicking on the link below. It only takes a minute.

Drew,

I have a collection of approximately 23,000 resistors and an assortment of semiconductors and some miscellaneous electronic stuff I want to get rid of.  The resistors are 1/4 watt carbon film.  Would your club be interested in taking them? If not please advise where I can donate them.  I do not want to throw them in the trash.

Subject: [ETS/PARC List] IMPORTANT! K2ETS Repeater
Message-ID: <599F3BE7.00001B.01444@LEAPER-PC>

    The AllStar software running the repeater allows for a ' Tailmessage '
if desired. This message will play after the user unkeys his/her transmitter
 during the transmitter ' tail ' time. This message is ' polite '. It will
NOT talk over a transmission at all. 



    The tailmessage will ' arm ' itself after a programmed ' wait ' time,
then wait for the next keyup to play during the repeater tail. Currently,
the wait time is programmed for 45 minutes. If there is NO repeater activity
 the message will play once an hour only. During activity, it will try to
play every 45 minutes.



    This ' tailmessage is PERSISTANT. If your conversation is of utmost
importance, you can just keyup as the tailmessage is playing. It will
immediately stop playing. HOWEVER, the ' tailmessage ' will try again in 4
minutes, and keep trying every 4 minutes until it gets the message out.



    This ' tailmessage ' is not used frivolously. It is only used for
information important to the members and other hams.



    We have now added NWS Skywarn to the repeater. This will inform hams of
impending dangerous weather events. During a SkyWarn period, the tailmessage
' arm ' time is 21 minutes, Since this is valuable urgent information, it is
played with more frequency.



    It is my belief that the ' tailmessages ' are beneficial to K2ETS. I
have programmed them to be effective, without becoming annoying. The
messages are kept as short as possible. If anyone has suggestions for
changes, please bring them up for discussion. I am not imposing my
programming on anyone. 



I know there is at least one of you who has a problem with our system. Speak
UP!



    This morning, as I was working to perfect the new SkyWarn tailmessage
system, someone continuously keyed up over the meeting announcement. This
caused it to try again in 4 minutes. They then keyed up over the message,
and it reset for 4 minutes. This continued until I identified myself on the
repeater, and asked whoever it was what the issue was. I got no response.



    Again, if you have an issue with the current system, bring it up for
discussion. The repeater is run on software. It is easily modified.

was $400. Apologies to WB2HKK.

Technical Report
The new 2 Meter Repeater is working well.  Pete KD2ARB came forth with a
proposal to do the same thing to the 220 Repeater ? construct a new one out
of two commercial (Alinco) radios. He estimated a budgetary cost of

Yesterday's rain brought a ' Flood Advisory ' for the area. The '
AutoSkyWarn ' alert on the repeater worked perfectly!



>From now on, if there is a NWS alert for Somerset County, you will be
informed.



If you wish to find out more about the alert, go to ' alerts.weather.gov '.
Scroll down and click on ' New Jersey, County List ', then click on your
county.



This is where the message originates. The repeater checks this every 5
minutes.
