Well this is very disappointing news. Ron Lawrence deserves better than this. 30 years of working for everyone, and I mean everyone, cooler heads should have prevailed! Brian, I am disappointed in you for letting {some} disagreement result in your quitting, and having a secret meeting. (pretty low) I expected much better behaviour from you. We all knew that Ron has been physically hurting for a few years, and he occasionally rubs some of us the wrong way when he's not feeling good, BUT one has to consider the whole picture. 30 years of running the best show in the south-east, and better than most in the rest in the country. For what? He wasn't in it for the money nor for the fame. No he was in it for all the rest of us. And the rest of us enjoyed the result of all of his hard work and his personal sacrifices. And we all had a good time. Ron, all the best to you, you are # 1 in my book. 73, John Dilks, K2TQN Web Site - www.k2tqn.com __ Retired - Now writing for Electric Radio Magazine _____ Former Editor Vintage Radio Column, QST Magazine 2000-2014 ________ Having fun smelling hot rosin and solder again > On April 9, 2018 at 12:43 PM "Ron Lawrence W4RON W4RON at carolina.rr.com [CC-AWA]" wrote: > > > > This message is addressed to all members of the Carolinas Chapter > of the Antique Wireless Association, that is anyone who has attended > the CC-AWA's annual conference Antique Radio Charlotte. > > Until this year I had been chairman to the Charlotte conference > for 30+ years, except for I think one year I have been President > of the CC-AWA since it was first formed in about 1995. > > Due to worsening health problems I decided to retire as chairman > of the Charlotte conference last year.

IMD is organized by the Cornish Amateur Radio Club, http://gx4crc.com/gb4imd/, each year on the weekend closest to Marconi's birthday of 25 April 1874. This year the event will be held on 21 April UTC. Since K6KPH transmits from the original Marconi site that went into service in 1914 it is a registered IMD station. The Cornish Amateur Radio Club will issue an award to stations that contact 15 officially registered IMD stations like K6KPH. > Date & Time - K6KPH will be in operation Saturday 21 April beginning at 0000 UTC (8:00 pm Friday 20 April EDT - 7:59 pm Saturday 21 April EDT). Operations will continue for several hours until our operators run out of steam. See below if you would like to be a K6KPH operator for this event! > Frequencies - K6KPH will guard these frequencies: 3550.0 7050.0 14050.0 18097.5 > Calling Procedure - Since we will have KPH on the air as well (see below), the operators will be very busy and may not be able to call CQ on each amateur channel. But they will be scanning all the channels. So the best bet is to use commercial procedure when calling K6KPH: Continue to call on your chosen frequency until the K6KPH operator responds with DE. Then respond with your call sign. The station can be reached by phone on +1 415-669-9646 if you want to call in a report or arrange a special listening watch. The phone will be answered only when the station is on the air. > KPH will be transmitting on these frequencies and will of course be listening for calls from ships on 500kc and ITU channel 3 HF. 426 500 4247.0 6477.5 8642.0 12808.5 17016.8 22447.5 VY 73, MRHS ~~~ Alexander B.

In his groundbreaking 1970s book Design for the Real World, the Austrian designer Victor Papanek, who emigrated to the United States in 1939, argued for the designer?s responsibility in shaping our economy and society by designing for the good. His claim for social and ecological awareness is more topical than ever. Designers and other creatives are an important part of the "Change Maker" movement who can contribute with impactful strategies to a better world. But how to develop these strategies and, at the same time, make it work as a business and for business? Topics covered in the workshop include best practice examples of social design, introduction into strategic thinking based on visions, and tools & methods from social entrepreneurship and impact business modelling. Participation is free, however, due to a maximum of 20 participants, priority will be given to designers, creatives, and industry representatives. > > ACFNY > > Tickets & Information > > ACFNY SUPPORTED | CONCERT TOUR > > PAMELIA STICKNEY ON TOUR > > WEDNESDAY MAY 09 - SUNDAY MAY 20 > > This May, the world-renowned American-Austrian Thereminist Pamelia Stickney will be back on tour in the US! You can see her perform solo as well as together with other inspiring local artists in New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and other east coast cities. "The Theremin isn't an instrument that lends itself to hero worship, but ever since we saw Pamelia pluck an astonishing walking bass line out of thin air in the documentary Moog, we've been genuflecting with reckless abandon. Novelty value aside, [her] gift on her wonky instrument is profound and generous. She's based in Vienna now, so you won't want to miss this relatively rare local date."

A passionate, doomed literary love affair is brought to life in this inventive, one-of-a-kind meta-romance. Ingeborg Bachmann and Paul Celan were two giants of postwar German-language poetry whose unlikely affair (he was the son of Jewish Holocaust victims, she the daughter of a Nazi) lasted only months but sparked hundreds of letters exchanged over the course of decades-documents of two brilliant minds working through heady questions of art, postwar guilt, and politics, as well as their own complex feelings for one another. Their soul-baring correspondence is related via two magnetic actors who, in channeling the writers, discover their own spark of attraction---a continuation of a love story that resonates across decades. > > > Museum of the Moving Image > > Tickets & Information > > CONCERT > > CONNECTIONS | AUSTRIAN & AMERICAN COMPOSERS PART 1: SOLO WORKS > > WEDNESDAY MAY 16, 07:30 PM > > The ACFNY is presenting New York-based ensemble mise-en performing world and US premieres of three Austrian and three Korean-American composers as part of their CONNECTIONS concert series.

From May 23 to June 15, Austrian artist Manfred Bockelmann shows a selection of his large-scale charcoal portraits of children and adolescents who fell victim to Nazi terror. With these works, Bockelmann seeks to create "signposts against forgetting." He desires to "give faces to at least a few names and numbers, lifting a few individuals out of the anonymity of statistics." The exhibition opening features a screening of the documentary Drawing Against Oblivion (2015), which narrates the development of the not-for-profit exhibition project. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the artist and remarks by Dr. Carol Rittner, Distinguished Professor of Holocaust & Genocide Studies Emerita & the Dr. Marsha Raticoff Grossman Professor of Holocaust Studies Emerita at Stockton University (New Jersey, USA). > > > ACFNY > > Tickets & Information > > ACFNY SUPPORTED | FILM SCREENING > > AASFF WINNERS 2018 @ MUSEUM OF THE MOVING IMAGE > > SUNDAY MAY 27, 04:00 PM > > Following this year's Austrian American Short Film Festival at the ACFNY, MOMI will host this special program showcasing the winning films, as selected by the international jury headed by celebrated Austrian filmmaker Barbara Albert.

He was 72. A KSNV news report indicated that Bell's family was with him when he died. The Sheriff's Office said an autopsy would be performed. Bell's long-running radio show trafficked in conspiracy theories, the paranormal, and "dark matter." Ham radio came up too, from time to time. In early 2004, Bell aired an extensive live interview with then-ARRL President Jim Haynie, W5JBP (SK). "Coast to Coast AM" was syndicated nationwide in the early morning hours and, at its peak, was said to have reached 50 million listeners. Bell produced the show from his own studio in the High Desert of Nevada. Often, after his show was over, he would get together on 75 meters with a group of friends. Bell retired from "Coast to Coast AM" in the early 2000s, although he had served as a guest host as recently as 2010. He briefly returned to the air with "Art Bell's Dark Matter," which lasted several weeks on the SiriusXM satellite network, but he subsequently got involved with another radio program, "Midnight in the Desert," streamed via the Internet. He quit that show in 2015, however, citing "security concerns" at his home. Bell was the author of the books The Art of Talk, The Quickening, and The Coming Global Superstorm.

Message-ID: All, Do any of you have any specs on what kind of voltage to expect as far as output voltage for the old salt crystal record cutting cartridges? The only details I have found are that they require about 180 volts input, and that the output voltage is higher than the output of a playback cartridge (which is around 3V output), but not how much higher. Basically, I'm curious to see if it's possible to rebuild them the same way it's possible to rebuild playback cartridges (using a piezo buzzer in place of the salt crystal). There seems to be one firm that rebuilds them for a price, but I can't seem to find any details as to whether the process for rebuilding a cutter cartridge is any different than a playback cart to see if it's worth trying at home. I imagine most piezo buzzers aren't expecting that high of voltage and might fry? Any thoughts? Regards, Matt -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
