Hi all,
  I need help in decommissioning the NCARC repeater site at Ed Lawrence's
location need to form a work crew.

  We need to get together this coming Sunday, June 8, 2014 at 1:00 pm local
time.  The address of Ed's place is 1577 E County Road 82 which is about
half way between North County 9 and 15 on the south side of County Road 82
(The Rawhide Power Plant road).

  The repeater shack is in the far south west corner of ED's property.
No need to bother Ed, there is a road in the field along the north fence
line on the property, just follow the dirt roads around the perimeter to
the repeater site.

  There is barbedwire fencing and fence posts which basically are now
surplus, a 4X4X8  wooden shack which is no longer needed which is needing
to go to a good home.   The solar panels that powered the site are fairly
well used and if the club wants to do something solar again I would only
want to use new panels so those too are up for grabs.   The tower, coax and
antenna will remain club hardware until a use for them is found.

    K1TJ has volunteered to attempt to gracefully lower the tower and
antenna using his tow truck and the winch.  We need someone to climb to
about 20-30 foot level to attach the winch cable in order to do this.

  There is a good afternoon's worth of work to do and if you have any other
questions please call me at 970-568-7646.

   You'll need work gloves, sunscreen, water and tools of mass distraction.
  I'll be there as early as I can and start the process of removing the
fencing around the shed so we can have better access to everything.

Please Help!   Many hands make light work.

Hi everyone,

  Wondering if anyone has any 1/4 or 1/8 watt (or really anything small is
fine) 50 ohm 1% (or better) metal film (preferred) or carbon composition
resistors?   I need 3 of them and hate to try and justify an $8+ shipping
charge for $.0.75 worth of resistors :)

I'd be happy to buy or trade for them.  Thanks!!

Hi James,

I probably have 49.9 ohms 1% in both SMT and 1/8 W leaded, but it may 
cost you $8 in gas to drive to LaPorte...  :-)

I can check when I get home tonight.

Have you checked with Mountain States Electronics?

Hi, James;

I don't have access to any of those but if no-one else gets back to you, perhaps you could try the electronics store that's next to Radio Shack (across the parking lot from Whole Foods?)   You might even try Radio Shack if the electronics store doesn't have them :-)  Just a thought, in case you hadn't considered that option, it should be cheaper than paying the $8 shipping.

Message-ID: <CAGx7P=vP0DkX25f3cPqhdkqbf1WJA12K8vyXH7HxiDOxDn30tw@mail.gmail.com>

Hello!

I am writing to personally invite every amateur radio operator who reads
this email to stop by the club's official Field Day 2014 station. NCARC
will be operating out of scenic Wellington, CO this year, using property
that was graciously donated to us for the weekend by a friend of Mike,
KD0USB.

We will be providing soft drinks, burgers/brats/buns, and tables for your
equipment.

More information will be sent out ASAP with regards to an exact
address. *Camping
will be permitted on site, free of charge.*

This is private land, so the only requirements are that we return the site
to it's original condition once we are finished.

If you'd like more information about field day, show up to the club meeting
this Saturday. I'll be giving a full presentation on field day, focusing on
this year's location and information.

Hi gang,

Speaking of repeaters.....   I'm going to need a ride along to go back up
to Horsetooth and reinstall the .115 repeater before then next big event
which is June 28, '40 in the Fort'.   Since We aren't allowed to make this
trip solo I will need an able bodied person to go with me.  I plan on
making this a quick up and back and don't plan on spending much time in the
building. Estimate 2 1/2 hours round trip to JJ's.   I will be available
Wednesday About 1 pm, Thursday about 1 pm and Friday all day.

  What say someone?    K

Message-ID: <CAFVthLzKHrn9GC0qCpRGeeKDAnmtOoPQYdGdQU8=hq_CMBoruw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,

  James, KI0KN, has generously volunteered  to go up to the Horsetooth
repeater site with me and bring along his new Spectrum Analyzer and
Tracking Generator.   There will be some amount of activity on that
frequency for a while tomorrow as we check things out.

  I would like to thank the many that also volunteered their time.   This
trip to the repeater site will be a two man job but future maintenance
trips to the site will be scheduled with a more notice given.   Sometimes
emergency trips are necessitated which means almost no notice,  This time
it is a little less frantic.   With field day 2014 coming up...  I'm sure
we are all busy prepping for that too.

*******************************************************************

  As an operational note,  I am going to be re-installing the Kenwood
TKR-750 repeater and a 7K controller.  The controller is temporarily until
I can get the new 7330 controller programmed with NEW stuff.

  Since, in the past, it has been noted that the obnoxious DRAGGING PIPE
sound could be eliminated by simply having the TX and RX CTCSS tones
different, I have programmed the repeater's RX tone at 100Hz (like normal)
and the TX tone at 110.5 Hz.   While this may not affect most users, I know
that some of you city dwellers are using the repeater's TX tone in your
receivers to avoid miscellaneous false squelch burst while driving around
town.    I believe that most transceivers manufactured in the last 10 or so
years are capable of operating split tone mode.  Bow-Fangs certainly will.
;-)  All my Yaesu radios do, (and they aren't that new).

I'm not usually one to forward messages, but this one could be amazing if
PRB1 was applied to HOA and covenant type situations!

House Bill Would Require FCC to Extend PRB-1 Coverage to Restrictive
Covenants

A bill with bipartisan support has been introduced in the US House of
Representatives that calls on the FCC to apply the "reasonable
accommodation" three-part test of the PRB-1 <http://www.arrl.org/prb-1>
federal pre-emption policy to private land-use restrictions. HR.4969, the
"Amateur Radio Parity Act of 2014" was introduced on June 25 at the
request
of the ARRL, which worked with House staffers to draft the proposed
legislation. The bill's sponsor is Rep Adam Kinzinger
<http://kinzinger.house.gov/> (R-IL). It has initial co-sponsorship from
Rep Joe Courtney <http://courtney.house.gov/> (D-CT). If the measure
passes
the 113th Congress, it would require the FCC, within 120 days of the
Bill's
passage, to amend the Part 97 Amateur Service rules to apply PRB-1
coverage
to include homeowners' association regulations and deed restrictions,
often
referred to as "covenants, conditions, and restrictions" (CC&Rs).
Presently,
PRB-1 only applies to state and local zoning laws and ordinances.

"There is a strong federal interest in the effective performance of
Amateur
Radio stations established at the residences of licensees," the bill
states.
"Such stations have been shown to be frequently and increasingly
precluded
by unreasonable private land-use restrictions, including restrictive
covenants."

The 11-page PRB-1 FCC Memorandum Opinion and Order is codified at ?
97.15(b)
<http://www.arrl.org/part-97-amateur-radio> in the FCC Amateur Service
rules, giving the regulation the same effect as a federal statute. In
short,
PRB-1 states that local governments cannot preclude Amateur Radio
communications; they must "reasonably accommodate" amateur operations,
and
the state and local regulations must be the minimum practicable
regulation
to accomplish a legitimate governmental interest. Subject to those
guidelines, municipalities may still establish regulations with respect
to
height, safety, and aesthetic concerns.

For 28 years, FCC regulations have "prohibited the application to Amateur
Radio stations of state and local regulations that preclude or fail to
reasonably accommodate Amateur Service communications,
" the bill points out,
"or that do not constitute the minimum practicable regulation to
accomplish
a legitimate state or local purpose." Since PRB-1 was enacted, the FCC
has
said several times that it would prefer to have some guidance from
Congress
before extending the policy to private land-use regulations.

HR.4969 has been referred to the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Rep
Greg Walden, W7EQI (R-OR), chairs that panel's Communications and
Technology
Subcommittee, which will consider the measure.

ARRL Hudson Division Director Mike Lisenco, N2YBB, is a principal
advocate
for the current legislative initiative to gain PRB-1 recognition for
CC&Rs.
Lisenco said the most urgent task now is to get additional co-sponsors to
sign onto HR.4969.
