RadioShack has always been known as the place for answers to the American public's technology and electronics questions. "You've got questions, we've got answers." Over the years, RadioShack introduced consumers to exciting and affordable gadgets and electronics that have become household items. As we cleaned out our historic archives in Fort Worth, Texas, we uncovered a cache of iconic memorabilia in 12 huge safes, including: unused original TRS-80 Microcomputers, Realistic Transistor Radios, Tandy computer software games, original brick cell phones and so much more. We all remember coming into RadioShack whether it was for the battery-of-the-month, new walkie-talkies, or to check out the newest RC toy cars. Now we reintroduce many of those nostalgic items and more with our rolling online memorabilia auction. https://ubidestates.hibid.com/catalog/103245/radioshack-auction--1/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NJDXA-L" group.

Due to last year's success ETS will again have a club table and will be selling the many items that were donated to us during the year. Also a few members of our club will be selling some of their own personal items. They have offered to either donate to our club a percentage of any item they sell or any amount of the sale that is over their set minimum. This is the only outside function that ETS has that will bring in additional money to help cover the cost of operating our club. This is YOUR CLUB so please consider lending a little time to help out at the club table.

AN ACT concerning distracted driving and amending and supplementing P.L.2003, c.3lO. BE IT ENACTED by the Senate and General Assembly a/the State a/New Jersey: 1. Section 1 ofP.L.2003, c.310 (C.39:4-97.3) is amended to read as follows: 1. a. The use of a wireless telephone or electronic communication device by an operator of a moving motor vehicle on a public road or highway shall be unlawful except when the telephone is a hands-free wireless telephone or the electronic communication device is used hands-free, provided that its placement does not interfere with the operation of federally required safety equipment and the operator exercises a high degree of caution in the operation of the motor vehicle. For the purposes of this section, an "electronic communication device" shall not include an amateur radio. Nothing in P.L.2003, c.310 (C.39:4-97.3 et seq.) shall apply to the use of a citizen's band radio or two-way radio by an operator of a moving commercial motor vehicle or authorized emergency vehicle on a public road or highway. b.

I want to make some additional info available and point out some limitations. 1 - the version I sent yesterday was only a partial version - it was the NJ Senate version first page containing the exemption of Amateur Radio. This exemption was done for the sole purpose of Amateur Radio operators responding to or participating in an emergency or disaster. It was not intended for casual use (As I have been informed when it originally passed). This is the reason Amateur tags are not considered vanity tags. 2 - Distracted driving is distracted driving by any means. This includes using your radio. A driver needs to pay 100% attention to their driving not on a QSO. 3 - Some cities are passing laws that negate the exemption - so be extra careful if you do chose to use your radios while driving. Hope this clears up some issues. 73 Steve K2SO -------------------------------------------------------------------- ARRL Northern New Jersey Section Section Manager: Steven A Ostrove, K2SO k2so at arrl.org -------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from messages, go to: http://p1k.arrl.org/oo/ada487e9f515002b74e748f808306206 From w2ljqrp at gmail.com Thu Jun 22 21:15:03 2017 From: w2ljqrp at gmail.com (Larry Makoski) Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2017 21:15:03 -0400 Subject: [ETS/PARC List] ETS of NJ MInutes for May 2017 Message-ID: Minutes for the Meeting on May 26th 2017 Electronic Technology Society of New Jersey (ETS of NJ) The Meeting was called to order by President Vic Pennetta, K2NBC at 8:08 PM.

I want to say that it has been a real pleasure serving the section as the SM for the last several months. I have enjoyed meeting many of you over that time. I?ve made new friends and seen parts of the section that I had only previously heard about but never had an opportunity to visit. I want to thank my cabinet members (AAC ?Lee Smith, PIC ? Jack Pfister, SEC- Kymm Balinth Reagan, STM ? Dave Struebel, and ASM ? Rich Krohn) for their time and dedication to the section. While we didn?t get a chance to complete many items on our ?to do list? I know you tried and the section and I appreciate your efforts. I also want to express my thanks to the ARRL staff, in particular Steve Ewald ? WV1X and Leonia Adams W1LGA, for their help and support. We have a large section. It is composed of a wide variety of urban and rural areas. The needs of the amateurs in the section are just as varied. This is why I started the monthly (sometimes more often) newsletter, updated the NNJ web site frequently and started the North New Jersey Section Net (NNJSN) on 3.950 MHz at 6:05 PM (local time). By the way the net meets on the first Sunday of each month following the New Jersey Phone Net ? please feel free to join both nets. This net will continue under the SM Rob Roschewsk ? KA2PBT. I look forward to remaining active in the section over the next several years and supporting Rob in his new position. 73 to all and THANKS! SECTION We have just finished our Field Day (FD) operations. I hope you all had a good time and made many contacts. This is an event that helps us prepare for anything (remember 9-11). It shows the public just what we can do and how we do it. I did have an opportunity to visit several FD sites; unfortunately I was not able to get to all (I even got lost trying to find some sites-sorry). I had fun meeting and seeing some of your set ups. Boy Scout Jamboree on the Air - June 29, 2017 HAM FESTS Sussex Ham Fest will be held July 16, 2017. I hope to be there, I hope you will also.
