Subject: [GCARC] Trekies: original Star Trek Continues - New Episodes

As someone who watched every episode of the original Stat Trek series on TV, I'm happy to let you know
STAR TREK CONTINUES in a webseries which carries on the original five-year mission.

The original Star Trek series was supposed to be a 5 year mission. The
series only lasted 3 years... until now. Star Trek Continues, a web-based,
high-budget, fan-made web series will continue and complete the 5 year
mission. The first three episodes are finished and online for viewing. How
they managed to keep the exact look and feel of the original series is
completely amazing to me.

   http://www.startrekcontinues.com/

Review: I just watched the First Episode, "PILGRIM OF ETERNITY". 
Where Apollo returns to wreak havoc on Kirk and the Enterprise in the first episode of the new series.

I really enjoyed it.

The actors strongly resemble the original cast, the sets are accurate, as are the sounds and special effects.

VIC MIGNOGNA as Capt. James T. Kirk has all his mannerisms down pact.

CHRIS DOOHAN as chief engineer Lt. Cmdr. Montgomery Scott plays a believable "Scottie".  If the name sounds familiar, it is, it's because he is the son of James Doohan the original Star Trek "Scottie".

Visit the web page which has more information and also the first three episodes.  If you loved the original Star Trek, you won't be disappointed.

Hey Ray,

I just got involved in CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) here in
Millville. We graduate in December.

Is there a "CERT" ham radio type person in our club?

I'd like to meet up with him and share some thoughts, as I'm just getting
the ball rolling here in backwards Millville.

Thanks,

Matt - K2MFW

OK to forward this email to him.  Thanks.

Jeff,
Thank you for your generosity.
No need to send to whole membership on this issue anymore, please.

The antennas have all now been distributed (except for the broken MSquare,
which none have claimed).

The Butternut is going to be used by scout troop 9 for use on their camping
trips. Is perfect antenna for what they do. If you can get the box of
additional parts to me, like at the Wed club meeting, I will deliver it.

Thank you,
Jim

Message-ID: <1415049983.22111.YahooMailBasic@web140302.mail.bf1.yahoo.com>

If all goes well, the DR-1 System Fusion repeater on 147.180 MHz that's been in service for several months, will be moved to replace our 442.100 MHz repeater - sometime tomorrow.  The new DR-1X we recently obtained will then be put in service on 2M.  This will give us analog FM and digital voice options on both.

Also, the DR-1 will be set to receive and transmit a CTCSS signal of 131.8 Hz, thus eliminating the difficulty some have experienced in hearing the current UHF repeater, unless they configured their transceivers for carrier squelch.  Once again, tone squelch is recommended for analog users, so you don't hear the digital signals, when the repeater(s) are being used as such.  A busy light or S-meter deflection will indicate when a repeater is in use.

The 1284.400 MHz repeater will still be on the air and will remain FM only, but will no longer be linked to UHF.  

TNX,
Cory - WA3UVV

Wherever you stand on this issue, please take the time to read this; it should wake you from your slumber on this important truth.  
    
We know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of Colorado. In that context his thoughts are particularly poignant .  

Last week there was an immigration over population conference in Washington, D.C., filled to capacity with many of America's finest minds and leaders. A brilliant college professor by the name of Victor Davis Hansen talked about his  latest book, " Mexifornia ", explaining how immigration - both legal and illegal was destroying the entire state of California. He said it would march across the country until it destroyed all vestiges of The American Dream.  
    

Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm stood up and gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America.  
         

The audience sat spellbound as he described eight methods for the destruction of the United States. He said, "If you believe that America is too smug, too self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy America. It is not that hard to  do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall and that ?An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.??  

                

"Here is how they do it," Lamm said.  

          

"First, to destroy America, turn America into a bilingual or multi - lingual and bicultural country. History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more        competing languages and cultures.  It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar, Seymour Lipset , put it this way: ?The histories of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of         turmoil, tension, and tragedy.? Canada, Belgium, Malaysia , and Lebanon all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces  difficulties with Basques , Bretons , Corsicans and Muslims."  

         

Lamm went on:  

         

"Second, to destroy America, invent ' multi - culturalism ' and encourage immigrants to maintain their culture. Make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal; that there are no cultural differences. Make it an article of faith  that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due solely to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds."  

         

"Third, we could make the United States an ' Hispanic Quebec' without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly        recently: 'The apparent success of our  own multi -ethnic and multicultural experiment might have been achieved not by tolerance, but by hegemony . Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentricity and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us  together.' Lamm said, "I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to ensure that we have various cultural subgroups living in America enforcing  their differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities."  

          

"Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the least educated. I would add a second underclass , unassimilated , undereducated , and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a 50% dropout   rate from high school."  

          

"My fifth point for destroying America would be to get big foundations and business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of        'Victimology.' I would get all minorities  to think that their lack of success was the fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority placation ."  

         

"My sixth plan for America's downfall would include dual citizenship, and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity over unity. I would stress differences rather than similarities. Diverse people worldwide are mostly  engaged in hating each other - that is, when they are not killing each other. A diverse, peaceful, or stable society is against most historical precedent. People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation together. Look at the ancient Greeks. The Greeks  believed that they belonged to the same race; they possessed a common        language and literature; and they worshipped the same gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic games. A common enemy, Persia , threatened their liberty. Yet all these bonds were not  strong enough to overcome two factors: local patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions. Greece fell. "E. Pluribus Unum " -- From many, one. In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis on the 'pluribus' instead of the ' Unum ,'  we will " Balkanize " America as surely as Kosovo .  

         

"Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits. Make it taboo to talk about anything against the cult of 'diversity.' I would find a word similar to 'heretic' in the 16th century  - that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking.  Words like 'racist' or 'xenophobe' halt discussion and debate. Having made America a bi - lingual / bi -cultural country, having established multi - culturalism , having the large foundations fund the doctrine of 'Victimology,' I would next make it impossible to enforce  our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra : That because immigration has been good for America, it must always be good. I would make every individual immigrant symmetric and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of them."  

         

In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow. Profound silence followed. Finally he said, "Lastly, I would censor Victor Davis Hanson's book ' Mexifornia .' His book is        dangerous. It exposes the plan to destroy  America If you feel America deserves to be destroyed, don't read that book."  

          

There was no applause. A chilling fear quietly rose like an ominous cloud above every attendee at the conference. Every American in that room knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding methodically, quietly, darkly, yet pervasively  across the United States today. Discussion American  Suicide  is being suppressed. Over 100 languages are ripping the foundation of our educational system and national cohesiveness. Even        barbaric cultures that practice female genital   mutilation are growing as we celebrate 'diversity.' American jobs are vanishing into the Third World as corporations create a Third World in America. Take note of California and other states. To date, ten million illegal aliens and growing fast. It is reminiscent  of George Orwell's book "1984." In that story, three        slogans are engraved in the Ministry of Truth building: "War is peace,"  "Freedom is slavery," and "Ignorance is strength."  

         

Governor Lamm walked back to his seat. It dawned on everyone at the conference that our nation, and the future of this great democracy, is deeply in trouble and worsening fast. If we don't get this immigration monster stopped within  three years, it will rage like a California wildfire and destroy everything in its path, especially The American Dream.  

        

If you care for and love our country as I do, take the time to pass this on just as I did for you. NOTHING is going to happen if you don't!  

                  

"If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under" - Ronald Reagan

Greetings GCARC members, 

I have for sale 2 Amp Supply LK-800TNY amps (just back from a thorough going over by LandAirCom in NYC yesterday). These are the 3 tube 3CX800A7 amps with a separate power supply case that sits on the floor. QSK, Automatic Lock Out (prevents damage due to accidental overdrive, locks power out immediately and trips amp into standby), slow-start, and tuned inputs. 


These amps loaf at 1500W out, and will do close to 3K into a dummy load. 

The tubes for both amps have low hours. 

*The 1 st amp has pulse tubes 3CPX800A7s. The power supply for this amp also has rollers and side handles mounted on the case.This amp uses a single 240V line. 

*The 2 nd amp has regular 3CX800A7s, but has a separate dedicated 120V line for the filament transformer. You need both a 240v and a 120V line for this amp. This amp was upgraded to TNY by the late Bill Edwards and has all the documentation for the mods made at the time for the upgrade (listed above and both amps have all of these features). 

Just saw one go on eBay for $2800. 




The GCARC price is $2500. before it goes to eHam, QRZ, or eBay for $2800. 

Drop by my QTH for demo (Monroeville, NJ). 

Reason for selling: I have too many amps and need to downsize. 




Email me off-list at ab2e at comcast.net, or call my cell 856-304-3323.

Hello Everyone,
     My Name is Wade Bennett and I am a newer member of the GCARC and new
tech licence holder.  I am trying to develop my Ham Shack and hoping for to
make the least mistakes starting off.

My first question is Antenna choice?  I live in Mullica Hill in a Townhouse
end unit, two story with finished basement. I have been deliberating
between a couple antenna styles and not sure if one will give me a better
advantage over the other.  I know as a tech I only have 10meters for phone
but will test for General next month. The CHoices so far are* ALPHA DELTA
DX-EE* ( in the Attic crawlspace) advised by a club member, *MFJ-1786
loop *(outside
hidden behind tall bushes next to building), or *TransWorld Adventurer
TW2010* a capacity-hat-andinductance-loaded vertical dipole (in the same
place as the MFJ)

I currently have a ICOM-7100 I will be using for the antenna until I can
save for an ELECRAFT K3.  So if I place an antenna in the attic I will use
a second floor bedroom for the Shack, if I place the antenna behind the
bushes I will use a corner of the basement for the Shack,these two location
are to keep the lead line length down.

1) any input about the antenna choices?
2) Will the placement of the antenna in the attic or close to the
house/bushes cause me to have to buy a tuner? (I was thinking MFJ962D also
advised by a club member)
3) lead line choice?  coax or ladder
4) can a better magnetic loop be self built?


Any advice will help before I make a decision!

Are you in a neighborhood that has antenna restrictions?

Wade, 
The options mentioned are certainly good....an indoor dipole in the attic . If you are not upgrading to use other HF bands, also consider an attic delta loop for 10m. 
This is 35.4ft full-wave length for 28.4Mhz (string like triangle, and feed from the top center of the loop for state-side, or half-way down either side from the apex for low angle DX, so each of the 3 legs of the triangle would be less than 12 ft ). 

If you don't have a homeowner's association restriction, try a stealth vertical in the back. For 10m this would only be about 9ft high for a quarter-wave (remember for a vertical it can be mounted on the ground....height is not necessary but you should have at least 4 radials). Maybe right up against the back of your townhouse? An aluminum vertical can be painted to blend in and be hidden.

          Veteran Salute

Our Veterans do so much for our country and put everything on the line to
protect our freedom. In honor of Veterans Day, much of the country will be
enjoying a day off from work. But this year we can show our Veterans just
how much we appreciate their service by spending the day ?on? ? giving back
our time through volunteering.

FEMA Administrator Makes ?Time for Kids?

 FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate recently sat down with ?Time for Kids?
<http://www.citizencorps.fema.gov/cc/goodbye.do?url=%20http://www.timeforkids.com/>
to talk about natural disasters, proper planning, and staying safe. In the
interview, the Administrator discusses how kids can play an important part
in helping their families prepare for a disaster. ?The first thing you
should do is ask your parents what the plan is if a disaster happens while
you are at home, and also when you are not at home,? he says.

For kids who want to learn more about natural disasters, the Ready website
<http://www.ready.gov/kids> is a great place to start! It provides
information about disasters, tools for building a disaster kit, interactive
games to test their knowledge, and much more. Kids can also participate in
events like America?s PrepareAthon!
<http://www.community.fema.gov/connect.ti/AmericasPrepareathon> and The
Great ShakeOut
<http://www.citizencorps.fema.gov/cc/goodbye.do?url=%20http://www.shakeout.org/>
to practice their responses to specific disasters.

It?s never too early to prepare for disasters. See what else the
Administrator has to say about preparedness in the full interview
<http://www.citizencorps.fema.gov/cc/goodbye.do?url=%20http://www.timeforkids.com/news/get-ready/188416>
and get the conversation started with your family today!

Citizen Corps and CERT Information Deadline

With the end of the year approaching, we are asking that all local Citizen
Corps Councils and CERT Programs update their information in the
registration system by no later than *November 28*. Citizen Corps and CERT
information collected by this deadline will be included in the 2015
National Preparedness Report.

We use the information provided by you to demonstrate the
contributions you make
to national, state, territorial, tribal, and local preparedness and
resilience, highlight areas of growth, identify needs for new resources,
and set strategic direction. Our recent webinar
<http://www.citizencorps.fema.gov/cc/goodbye.do?url=https://icpd.adobeconnect.com/p8hlidy0h1p/?launcher=false&fcsContent=true&pbMode=normal>
highlighted how your programs contributed to the preparedness and
resilience of your communities, and the nation as a whole, in 2013.

Updating your online profiles provides us with information that we can use
to justify continued Federal support for the Citizen Corps and CERT
programs, including:

   - The website and all of its free downloadable resources and an online
   searchable directory of programs;
   - Free printed materials for registered programs through the FEMA
   Warehouse;
   - Technical assistance and support through the Citizen Corps and CERT
   inboxes;
   - Recognition programs like the Individual and Community Preparedness
   Awards;
   - Outreach and education efforts, including regular e-briefs and
   webinars; and
   - The development of new content and updates to existing content,
   including the CERT curriculum and supporting materials.

While we encourage you to update any new information in your online
profiles, we are particularly interested in updates to the following for
2014:

   - Numbers of individuals trained;
   - Number of trainings conducted;
   - Number of volunteers and volunteer hours;
   - Council membership;
   - Number of exercises; and
   - Funding sources.

We are also currently in the process of updating the registration system to
make it easier to use. Future updates will add a function to the system
through which state and local programs should be able to generate their own
reports, so that you can also use the data you enter to help support and
manage your programs.

We hope that you will take the time to update your profiles, so that all of
the great work you?ve done will be accounted for in the National
Preparedness Report and elsewhere! If you have any questions, please don?t
hesitate to reach out to us at citizencorps at fema.dhs.gov or at
cert at fema.dhs.gov. Thank you!

Message-ID: <1985353171.2076802.1416577636605.JavaMail.zimbra@comcast.net>

I sent the prior message from my Outlook mail at my desk top and was blocked somehow. Here is the message using Comcast web page. 




Saw this on TX Factor last night (link below). Might have possibilities for us Attic Antenna guys. The rub is that it is about $460 USD shipped and the rig has to be tuned every time you QSY. However, the upside is that it could add 1 to 2 S units for RX and TX and it fits in a compact space. It does look better than the MFJ 1786 in that it comes in a kit so that, for me at least, it will fit in a limited attic opening. Anyway, just passing along the info if you did not catch it.

I wrote directly to the manufacturer of the antenna, this morning, and posed some questions I had. His response is below. Some have asked me how to order. Just go to the website http://mixw.co.uk/ and look for Magnetic Loop on the left hand side. As you can see, it is coming from the UK and the shipping is steep (70 pounds=$109.72 USD) and I would contact the gm0sdv at gmail.com just to make sure I was doing it the correct way.

Just saw you on TX Factor and am interested in this antenna. 



1. Do you ship to the United States? 

2. Will this antenna work in an attic/loft? 

3. If installed in an attic/loft, providing it is not near metal objects or electrical wires, will it be safe to install? 

4. What is the maximum power allowable to be used with this antenna?

Virus warning. Snoopes confirmed. PLEASE READ

 

 

PLEASE READ.... UPS / FedEx / USPS

 

Feel this worth passing along. With the holidays coming up, I can see where this could be a real problem.

 

The newest virus circulating is the UPS/Fed Ex/USPS Delivery Failure.

 

You will receive an e-mail from UPS, FedEx or USPS, along with a packet number.

 

It will say that they were unable to deliver a package sent to you on such-and-such a date.

 

It then asks you to print out the invoice copy attached.

 

DON'T TRY TO PRINT THIS. IT LAUNCHES THE VIRUS!

 

Pass this warning on to all your PC operators at work and home.

 

This virus has caused millions of dollars in damage in the past few days.
