Subject: [NCARC] 900 MHz, Motorola handhelds available
Message-ID: <515C4C25.6090309@radiodan.com>

HI NCARC,

If you've always wanted to try out 900 MHz but didn't know what radios 
were compatible or what to do to make them work on 900 or program them, 
I have found a number of Motorola MTX9000 900 MHz radios just like the 
one I use for myself.

I have some MTX9000 handheld radios that I have programmed with all of 
our local 900 MHz repeaters and a couple of simplex. Plenty of channels 
left that can be programmed if the need arises to change or add. They 
are in good condition with typical signs of use and have some etching on 
the front panel from the previous owner.
These are what I like to use best as they are extremely rugged and 
reliable and work beautifully in the Ham bands.
They are all tested and work fine, good power out (2-2.5 watts) and 
excellent receive sensitivity (typical .25 uv).

The package I offer is:
Motorola MTX9000 handheld radio, tested and programmed, ready to go
Antenna
TWO batteries, used good
Genuine Motorola rapid charger
$110 cash (other payment options possible)

I have a few optional accys if you wish
Belt clip $10
Speaker / Mic $50 (genuine Motorola, I use it this way in my car as a 
Mobile Radio with external antenna)
Adapter for antenna to use with your external antenna $5

Limited quantities.

Hey all,

If you are interested in participating in a foxhunt
we are going to meet tomorrow (Sunday April 21) at
the Fort Collins City Park at 0800

I'll be on the east side of the lake in a silver
Dodge pickup with a dual band antenna on the top.

If you reply and let me know you're coming I'll wait
for you there. Otherwise, I'll probably stick around
till 0830 waiting to see who shows up

I have 1 fox and an HT with an antenna so if you
don't have the equipment but want to come out, we
can still get some practice in. If you have any
equipment (fox, beam, etc) and want to try it out,
feel free to bring it

cheers
Robert

Subject: [NCARC] AN OPEN LETTER TO THE NCARC BOARD AND MEMBERSHIP
Message-ID: <00aa01ce3ea5$c79ca1a0$56d5e4e0$@667help.com>

There is good news and bad news.



The bad news:  The club is floundering and is struggling with its identity
and sense of purpose.



The good news:  We are soon to have a new leadership team in place and we
can all get excited about that.



I decided that I needed to speak up at this time.  The email reflector does
not lend itself to involved and long term discussions about the issues
facing the club so please read my comments and share them in more personal
forums with your fellow hams, if you find them worthwhile. Or contact me if
you wish.



A few words about my qualification to make these comments are in order:



1.    I have extensive experience managing large projects (multi-million
dollar ones) with large staffs in place (often in excess of 100).



2.    I have participated in, and/or run, hundreds of management meetings
related to these projects.



3.    One of the things I do in my current self-employment is to work with
startup businesses, writing their articles of incorporation, developing
their bylaws, setting up boards of directors and officer teams, and guiding
them through their first year of business.

One important note: NCARC is a non-profit, charitable corporation chartered
under the laws of the State of Colorado.  As such, the management and
functioning of it is serious business.



For our current and newly nominated officer teams:



1.    Please recognize that, faced with a given problem, often the correct
response is not to take immediate action but to do nothing.  The value of
"sleeping on it" cannot be overemphasized.



2.    Consider empowering a committee (3 persons) with a limited timeframe
(90 days perhaps) to create a report on the past, present and future state
of the club. Call it the "State of the Club" committee (or some such).  And
remember:  "Those who ignore their history are bound (or doomed) to repeat
it" (sic: George Santayana).



3.    Empower a committee (1-3 persons) to query the membership concerning
the corporate bylaws and gather comments and suggestions for change.

 

4.    Discuss the concept of a separate Board of Directors.  Currently, we
have our officers serving as that board as well.  I cannot tell you how odd
this is in the corporate world.  It's akin to the fox in the henhouse.  The
Board of Directors, which oversees the officers, should be 3 individuals
from the community at large who serve without compensation and who have no
direct interest in the club.



5.    Gather all previous and current copies of the bylaws as well as the
Board of Directors concept and take them to a corporate attorney for a
complete rewrite.  Well worth whatever it costs. We can't and shouldn't
attempt to do this ourselves.



6.    Do not move or substantially alter the current configuration of the
Hamfest until such time as the report from the State of the Club committee
has been received, discussed at some length among the officers and the
membership and a sense of its role in furthering the mission of the club has
been reached.  Last year we made an ill-advised decision to move the
Hamfest, thus encumbering it with a significant increase in overhead and
with a complete lack of fiscal pre-planning.  Do move the Hamfest back to
the McKee building however.

For the General Membership:



1.    Become more involved.  It doesn't have to be a big time commitment
either.  And when there is a call for volunteers for a project, step
forward; do not wait until the need for volunteers becomes a plea for help!



2.    Think about what you want to see the club be / become and communicate
those ideas!  At this weeks' meeting, we heard some really good suggestions
of things we could be doing.  Thanks Ivan (W1VAN).



3.    Support you elected officers and let them know you appreciate their
efforts on behalf of us all.

And finally:  Let's make this next year one of the best ever for our club.
73!

Respectfully;

Hello All,

If you are interested in taking an intro to Arduino
class, would you please reply to me (please don't
do a reply-all) and let me know 4 things:

1) what your arduino experience level is
2) which day or evening of the week would work
best for you to attend a class
3) what would you be willing to spend for
such a class (not including arduino or components)
4) is there a particular project you would like
to have covered in a training class

This is not a commitment on your part, just an
expression of interest.

After talking to a couple of people I know there is
an interest, but I would like to get a picture of how
*many* people would actually take a class and if there
is enough interest, I'll go forward trying to put
together a class with instructor.

thanks,
Robert

FYI all.

Dear friends,

It is with a heavy heart that I write to let you know that our dear 
Joanie VerDuft, KC?GMI passed away peacefully early Tuesday afternoon, 
April 23rd, 2013.  Though her outward exuberance never showed it, she 
bravely battled diabetes for 25 years, and fought heart disease more 
recently.

Joanie had a deep love for ham radio and the many friends she met in her 
years of faithful amateur radio service.  She was a founding team member 
for HamCon Colorado and energetically served in various capacities as 
the organization's Treasurer, Secretary and Banquet Manager for its 
2003, 2006 and 2009 events.  At the time of her death, Joanie was an 
active, creative and spirited committee member for the approaching 
HamCon Colorado 2013 convention.

She obtained her Tech+ license in 2009, and was a strong supporter of 
D14 ARES.  She was a past member of the Colorado YLs and the Pikes Peak 
Radio Amateur Association (PPRAA).

Joanie was a devoted and loving wife, mother and friend, and was active 
in her church where she had served in the AWANA children's program for 
10 years.  She was born and raised in California, and was a retired 
cosmetologist having practiced in both California and Colorado for over 
40 years.

Joanie is survived by her loving husband Jerry, AD?A, her daughter Faith 
Collins and stepdaughter Debbie VerDuft, both of Colorado Springs; and 
their sons Jeffrey VerDuft of Savannah, GA, Randy Collins of Littleton, 
CO and Lorin Barnhart of Wray, CO.

A memorial celebration of Joanie's life will be held at 2:00 PM on 
Thursday, May 2nd, 2013 at the Woodmen Road Free Will Baptist Church, 
7465 Horseshoe Rd., Colorado Springs, Colorado.  Relatives and friends 
may attend a viewing and fellowship from 10:00 AM - Noon on Thursday, 
May 2nd, 2013 at Mountain View Mortuary, 2350 Montebello Square Drive in 
Colorado Springs.

We plan to honor Joanie's life at HamCon Colorado 2013, June 27-30, 2013 
in Estes Park.

Please keep Jerry and the entire VerDuft family in your prayers and 
thoughts as they move through these difficult days.

73,

Steve
