Hi all,
   So far we are short 1 laptop computer for Field Day. We have 2. Do any of
you have access to a laptop that the careful folks at GVARC Field Day could
borrow for the weekend of June 21-23.

   We hope to network it with _ethernet_ to a hub so that all 3 Writelog
stations can see each others' QSOs as they happen. We would install Writelog
contesting software (GVARC owned club registered to W6GGF).

If your's doesn't have ethernet, that's still better than no computer!

   Please contact me or Frank Fahrlander if you think you can help with
this.

See you at Field Day, I hope.

I thought I heard that the Writelog protocol is CW over ethernet:)
 
Or was that satellite to satellite comm?

But CW makes people sick, remember?  Carol, wasn't it you who made the
connection?  Greg N6GK had a heart attack.  Shortly after that I had
pneumonia, later a hernia, and now a problem in my aorta.  (Leave it to old
Russ to come up with a one-in-thousands ailment.) 

You folks stay away from that there CW, you hear?  Dangerous stuff.  Just
mimeograph a bunch of log sheets and sharpen up a bucket of pencils.  Shades
of 1948!  ;-)

Hello Folks,


Well... the California Maritime Academy training Ship, Golden Bear
is already cruisin' the Pacific, (see:
http://www.calpoly.edu/~cpatsea   for a picture of the 500 ft ship.)
headed to Hawaii, arriving June 18.  As for the last 2 years, Ham
radio is aboard, and playing an interesting role.  This year Dr.
Robert Van Spyk, (KF6ZYJ) the founder of the CSUMB At-Sea Program,
and his son Bobby (KF6ZYN) will be aboard, and will be running the
Ham station aboard, with the CMA callsign, WB6IWB.

The ship's itenerary can be found at:

http://www.csum.edu/vctsgb/itinerary

With ports of call in Honolulu, Suva, Brisbane,Auckland,Papeete,Los
Angeles, and return to Vallejo, it will offer a great opportunity to
showcase amateur radio, both as a voice based Morale, Welfare and
Recreation medium, for the students and staff on board, and as a
medium for radio science.  On board, there is equipment for voice
comms, on HF, and digital modes used in the past, include, PACTOR
II.  This year, we may add PSK 31, and other digital modes such as
MFSK 16.  We would like to do serious studies, comparing and
contrasting the efficacy of various digital modes over long
distances.

Because of very difficult logistics, and the hectic schedules of all
arties involved, the ship, with an untested radio setup from last
year, was unable to be boarded and inspected wrt its ham radio
installation prior to it's first cruise departure, in April, so we
face an interesting, but very useful and educational challenge.  Is
it possible for knowledgeable hams shoreside to remotely assist and
direct knowledgeable hams aboard ship in station setup and
operations, and vice versa? We shall see... It is possible that a
lot of hardware and software setup and debugging will need to be
done between the two (or more) nodes, to get fully up and
operational.  We need to do similar things here shoreside, which may
involve setting up Pactor II capable stations at N6IJ, and CSUMB.
All are invited to participate in this project.

One of the first things that needs to be done, is for an Internet
uru to set up a Golden Bear Cruise mail group..like exists on Yahoo
for Radiofest, or other special events.  Can someone pick that one
up?

Another thing has to be done, and that is to get a team together
here in Monterey, to do setup work required at the CUSMB ham
station, and at N6IJ.  This can be done also at other Central
California Sites that are interested.  If you are active in PACTOR
II, you can be especially valuable.
Let us know if you are interested.  The ship will be cruising from
June 20 Until August 19. So get your HF stations fired up for some
fun.

Contact me if you want to become involved...

Message-ID: <F185wIFfRRUyrug46hC00019fe4@hotmail.com>

Folks:

Here is tentative Sked details for HF comms with Bob, KF6ZYJ, on the Golden 
Bear, (Ship ham call is WB6IWB) Departing Honolulu on June 21.  All is 
subject to change, pending first contacts.  20 meters is the best band 
overall, so everyone is encouraged to try to contact Bob, on the Golden Bear 
as follows:
Cruise details below:

Local Time of 9:00PM Pacific Daylight time.  I think that is
0400 zulu time...
(confirmed with a great conversion chart at
http://hurricanes.noaa.gov/zulu-utc.html

It would be great if the Charlie Group could set up a regular sked with the 
Golden Bear....
He'll be sailing for 2 months...

Tentative frequencies:
20m:     14.325
20m secondary:  14.340
15 meters:

21.325
21.340

10 meters
28.325
28.340

If frequencies are occupied, go up to first clear spot...

Message-ID: <F36K9cQXRASvRWsi0Df000239e2@hotmail.com>

Hi Folks:

K6MI, The Chews Ridge Gang, will be doing field day from Chews Ridge in 
Monterey County.
A 5100 ft peak about 1.5 hours from the City of Monterey.  We welcome 
visitors.  Careful, we may put you in the op chair, if you do CW...


To get to us:

Travel on Hwy 1 south slightly past Carmel on the Monterey Peninsula to 
Carmel Valley Road.  Note your odometer reading, and Turn southeast on 
Carmel Valley Road.  Enjoy the ride, to the Carmel Valley Village about 12 
miles out, and stop for sandwiches, wine, etc at the the Village Market.  
About 4.5 miles further, you will get to the Cachagua Road Intersection.  Be 
sure to stay OFF cachagua road, which would be a right turn.  (unless you 
really like steep, mountain roads, cliffs, etc... Stay on Carmel Valley road 
about another 9-10 miles...I think it is about 27 miles from the Carmel 
Valley/Highway 1 intersection. Become very alert for the Tassajara Road 
(signpost) turnoff to the south (right turn) just after passing through a 
BIG cut through the mountain and begining of  a descent.  Stay on Tassajara 
Road...You might want to avail yourself of the Tassajara-Zen-Buddhist center 
a couple of miles up to get into the Zen-Contest mode....or,  just come on 
up, about another 8 miles and see Mike, WA6O, our ZEN-CW Master (Those of us 
old timers at Chews Ridge, only THOUGHT we were masters...Mike showed us how 
we are really only Grasshoppers...) who I hope will be cranking Q's at the 
Fire Lookout FD station at the top.  About a 1/2 mile from the top, you need 
to turn left to a gate which should be open, but may have a Sesame 
lock....If you come at night, be sure to bring a flashlight.  If the lock is 
locked, you have two choices...Walk about 15 minutes to the top, or If we 
can, I will have the combo written down on a paper nearby.  Go 10 paces 
north of the gate and look for a rock.  The combo will be under the rock.  
After passing the gate, go through the road, and at the first opportunity, 
turn left go another .1 mile  to the Firelookout...If you end up at an 
Astronomic observatory, say hi to Ivan, the caretaker, and look to the north 
and find the Fire Lookout tower, and head for it...

Glad to see any of you come up....

Subject: [GVARC] Comm Hut poss Avail@ Loma Prieta
Message-ID: <F27KJWjewZkYXmqbAhK00023869@hotmail.com>

Folks:

There is a good chance that our Good neighbors at the Army Reserve Center, 
will be able to move the Communications huts that have become available at 
Loma Prieta.  If our request for assistance is approved by the Military 
Higher ups, we will probably be bringing a crane and a large military 
flatbed (the kind they transport M-1 tanks with) up to Loma Prieta, to 
transport the Hut(s) back to N6IJ in Marina.

We may want only 1 of the 2 available, so, if there are any other ham 
organizations that are interested, we may be able to help them, too.
It might be a case of merely relocating a hut to another close-by Loma 
Prieta Lcoation that is useful to another ham group.

  The Army Reserve unit (check your local!) has been happy to assist with 
heavy equipment and expertise to move big objects for us at N6IJ.  This kind 
of work apparently qualifies under community service work that they are oft 
happy to do.
We really wish to thank Capt James B. Franklin, and his team of men, of the 
211th Transportation Co for his super generosity and offer to assist.

We may need some extra hands to assist this operation, so get in touch, if 
you would be interested in spending a day working at Loma Prieta....

If any ham organizations have a specific need for use of a Comm hut at Loma 
Prieta, contact us...
