I don't know where this chart has been all these years, but what a lifesaver it will be!  As some of you know, I enjoy antique electronics, and as such, they used "cycles" in the old days.  Since we use "Hertz" today, I was always pulling out the calculator for manual conversion:  
(log[cps](Hz))2 = 1.  This chart will avoid all the potential for error.

I hope that you will find it handy as well.

Whilst in the USAF in 1962, an enterprising CWO-4 spent some time doing a conversion chart for an English guy who was visiting our Comm Sq in Okinawa.  He developed both a Log chart and linear chart.  Was really neat ... some people didn't get it ... imagine even today they would not get it.

Subject: [QCWA] ARRL Needs Your Help
Message-ID: <FDA729F8-B07A-4B1A-84C6-DD6C38C87962@aol.com>

Do you live in a CC&R- restricted community or participate in EmComm activities? Have deed restrictions / HOA covenants prevented you from erecting amateur radio antennas? Have these restrictions prevented you from full participation in emergency communications activities during disasters?

If your answer is "Yes", ARRL needs to hear about your experience.

As you are probably aware, Congress has directed the FCC to conduct a study of the uses and capabilities of Amateur Radio Service communications in emergencies and disaster relief. The FCC was directed to identify " impediments to enhanced Amateur Radio Service communications, such as the effects of unreasonable or unnecessary private land use restrictions on residential antenna installations". Finally, the study is to make "recommendations regarding the removal of such impediments."

The FCC has issued a Public Notice - DA 12-523- soliciting input from the public as part of their study. The ARRL is gathering comments from the Amateur Radio community to present as part of its comments on the public notice.

The ARRL is looking specifically for input in two specific areas:

*     Recent Amateur Radio involvement in actual emergency communications and disaster relief; 

*     Specific details about how CC&Rs and other private land use restrictions have impaired licensed Amateurs to participate fully in these disaster relief communications.

If your ability to participate in ARES, RACES, SKYWARN, CERT, or other emergency and disaster relief communications has been limited because the inability to have adequate antennas due to CC&Rs, you are asked to provide that information to the ARRL.

First, we recommend that you prepare a narrative of your exact situation, in as much detail as practical. Some areas for you to consider in writing your story might be:

*     Were there alternative properties without CC&Rs in the area you wished to reside?

*     What exactly does your CC&R allow / prohibit (please include a copy of the specific wording)

*     Have you applied for a waiver of the CC&R with the Home Owner's Association / Architectural Review Committee but were denied?  If so, what was the reason?

To assist you in sharing your information with the ARRL, please visit the special ARRL website built to allow you to readily provide the pertinent information at  <http://www.arrl.org/ccr-study-information>

This page will present you with an overview of what we are asking and have links to the two forms for you to complete.  Please be as factual as you can with the information you provide and please provide only information about events and activities in which you were directly involved.

If you wish to write out the details of your situation in advance, please do so.  Then, they can be either uploaded to the website or they can be sent as an email attachment to an email sent to <CCRinfo at arrl.org>

Keep in mind that the FCC study does not apply to ordinances and zoning laws implemented by the government - such as towns, cities or counties.  PRB-1 covers those situations.

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!  Congress directed that the FCC provide the report back within 180-days and that clock is already counting.  The FCC is only accepting comments for a 45-day period, which will endMay 17,2012.  In order for the ARRL to collate your information in a common report, we ask that you send in your information no later than WEDNESDAY APRIL 25.  If you need more information, please contact <reginfo at arrl.org>   The time to act is NOW!

A few years ago, I acquired a Collins 51J-3 receiver.
What a sweet part of electrical and mechanical engineering.

Over this past week, I removed the 60+ year old PTO and
re-calibrated it for the correct amount of tuning range.

1. make special tool for the adjustment slug.
2. trim the series padding inductor
3. adjust for 10 turns = 1.000 MHz +/- < 100 Hz
4. oven bake with the cover off at 230F to turn the desiccant blue again
5. reassemble while hot, per factory procedure.
6. reinstall in 51J-3
7. final test
8. stick calibration label on bottom of PTO.

Yuppers, that was a lot of fun.

Message-ID: <0CAE8B3B-188B-4C76-BE4D-3A8F1DA1C352@aol.com>

Please pass the following news along to any group that deals with kids and ham radio:
There is a contest for young hams.  Winner gets $50.00 announced at Dayton Youth Forum.  They don't have to be there.  A young ham who helps a senior or disabled person (person helped doesn't have to be a ham) in some way, such as reading to them, helping them get licensed, shoveling snow, shopping, etc; is eligible.  They must send their story along with a photo of both by April 30th, to:

                  Carole Perry WB2MGP
                   28 Keune Ct.
                   Staten Island, NY 10304
 
Next:  There is a FREE trip to Costa Rica for a 10-17 year old ham PLUS a parent, for a Youth DX Pedition.  It is sponsored by some of the DARA guys headed by Don DuBon N6JRL. This is a wonderful opportunity for kids.  Go to www.qsl.net/n6jrl  for info and the application.  There are still some openings but it fills up fast.

Also, if anyone you know wants to help support this trip...there is a raffle.  Carole has a roll of tix...it's $5 for one, or 5 for $20.00.

The QCWA Chapter 119 April meeting will be held at 12:00 noon on 
Saturday, 21 April 2012 at Artie and Toni's Steak House (aka Steve's 
Steak House), 11847 Jefferson Ave, Newport News, VA 23606 (757-595-9483).

This meeting is one of our two special meetings each year when the 
Chapter meets on Saturday in the Hampton/Newport News area to 
accommodate our many members and friends who make the trek to Virginia 
Beach each month for our regular meetings in our regular meeting place. 
As such, we expect a great turnout, and with that, the opportunity to 
renew acquaintances with folks we may not see nearly often enough and to 
share that very special QCWA fellowship.

An interesting program has been arranged by our 'The Other Side' 
coordinators, Wally, K4OGT; Dick, W4RBH; and the irrepressible Harvey, 
KA4SSH. A good time is guaranteed to anyone in attendance.

We will be prepared to sign-up new members, and to renew memberships on 
the spot. If you have a friend, then BE a friend and bring him/her to 
the meeting and we will sign them up, if they qualify.

Ron, W8RJL, our President; Vernon, W4THN, our Vice-President; Ed, W8NLZ, 
our Secretary; and Barry, K5VIP, indeed a Very Important Person AND our 
Treasurer, all will be on hand to welcome you and to insure you of a 
great return on your investment in Chapter 119, either as a member or as 
one of our special friends. Come early, stay late.
