Message-ID: <38CAE7E62ED14416961E131E4DF70A88@marvbronsPC>

A pilot program on Route One near Princeton will try to ease traffic 

8/2/2012


For the next three months, drivers who use Route One near Princeton will have to deal with some changes aimed at easing congestion. A 12-week state DOT pilot program starts August 3rd along Route One near Harrison Street in West Windsor, and it's intended to get rid of slowdowns on the highway. If it works, the changes could become permanent. Currently, the right lane of the highway backs up as drivers line up around the "circle" to make left-turns onto Washington Road. So now they'll be closed off, and southbound drivers will have to make a u-turn at the Alexander Road flyover, come back and make a right turn onto Washington Road. Northbound drivers will need to use the Scudders Mill flyover to make a similar maneuver. They'll need to do the same to turn left onto Harrison Street, as the u- and left-turn jughandle there will be blocked as well.

As someone who goes through this goat rope of 4 miss-timed traffic 
lights in the space of a little over a half mile...we'll see if this is 
a welcome change.  Hoping so.  I'm usually backed up all the way to 
Forrestal Village southbound at 4PM because of the poor (well, not 
changed since the 40s) design of this section of the Lincoln Highway.

The change is for Northbound traffic only, so they can still turn right into the hospital but you won't be able to turn 'left' to go into Princeton.

*Route One Traffic Circulation Update
**
*On August 4, 2012, the traffic circulation on Route One in West Windsor
will be changing with the goal of improving mobility on Route One.
The jughandle movements at Washington Road, Fisher Place and Harrison
Street are being eliminated. This change will impact only those drivers
traveling on Route One north who are trying to get into Princeton or trying
to make a U-turn on Route One. Drivers coming north on Route One will have
to use Alexander Road or Scudders Mill Road overpasses to come into
Princeton.

This change will have no impact on patients or employees coming to
University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro from any
direction. Drivers coming from the west still will be able to go left onto
Route One from Washington Road and from Harrison Street to get to
Plainsboro. Drivers coming to the hospital from the north, south or east
also will experience no change in their traffic patterns.

The New Jersey Department of Transportation will be testing this new road
configuration for three months. It is anticipated that elimination of the
jughandle movement will create better traffic flow on Route One.

NJDOT will have an extensive monitoring system in place and will be ready
to abandon the program if it results in severe congestion on the access
roads into Princeton.

Re:  Radios and equipment for sale

 

 

I am in the process of streamlining things in anticipation of a move down
the shore to a smaller house and need to liquidate some toys.  Much of what
I have are older (vintage) CB radios.  Many are tube sets that are still in
working order.( the list is quite long)  I also have a Kenwood -2meter/ all
mode transceiver/ model TS-700A.  I was hoping to get this information to
the club members before I list them on Craigs List or E-Bay.  If you know of
anyone that might be interested please forward this e-mail address to them
or pass along my c-phone #  908-403-1288.  I will be glad to give more
specific information to anyone interested.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.     Thanks,  Walt

In case you'd like to 'see' or DX the meteor shower.......the Perseids meteor shower began on July 17 but are expected to PEAK on August 12 between  noon and 2:30 p.m. Universal Coordinated Time.
(1200 ~ 1430 UTC)

That would put it between 8 a.m. ~ 10:30 a.m. EDST.  You obviously can't see meteors during daylight but you will see some activity just before sunrise on August 12 and maybe work some DX on VHF/UHF during the day.

   Do we get $50K or $10K if we beat him with CW? (reported by Don/AA2F)

   NEW YORK (AP) - A 17-year-old boy who says he has "abnormally fast
   thumbs"
   has been named the fastest texter in America for the second year in a
   row.

   "It feels incredible," said Austin Wierschke of Rhinelander, Wis., after
   winning the sixth annual U.S. LG National Texting Competition in Times
   Square on Wednesday. He gets $50,000 in prize money, which he says he'll
   save and use to pay for college, along with the $50,000 he won last year.

   Eleven contestants from around the U.S. competed, all using the same
   type of
   cellphone, an LG Optimus Zip phone with QWERTY keyboard. Cellphone-maker
   LG
   Electronics sponsored the contest.

   The competition tested three skills ? speed, accuracy and dexterity ? on
   four different challenges. They were "do you know text speak?", in which
   contestants had to spell out text abbreviations; texting while
   blind-folded;
   "text blitz," where phrases were shown to the contestants for a length
   of
   time and they copied them as fast as they could; and texting backward,
   where
   jumbled words were given to the contestants and they had to figure out
   the
   word.

CU1-CU9, AZORES (Press Release - Dated August 14t)[edited]:
"ALL NINE AZORES ISLANDS, CU1 THROUGH CU9, ACTIVATED AT ONCE Are You 
Ready to Fly to Azores for Free by Making Nine QSOs?

Yes indeed, those of you willing to spend 24 hours or less on the 
radio are eligible to participate in an Azores lottery for two 
all-paid packages to the beautiful Azores Islands in the Atlantic,
completely free of charge.
The project is organized by the Azores-Finland Friendship Consortium 
in partnership with the Amateur Radio Associations of the Azores 
Islands and supported by the Azores Promotion Agency (ATA) and Azorean
Airlines (SATA).
Just look at and make up your mind.
Not many people know that the Azores consist of nine populated 
islands, stretching over a distance of 602 km (305mi) from East to 
West, next to USA and Europe. And it is not widely known that the 
Azores have their own airline (SATA) flying to each island, in 
addition to many destinations in Europe and North America. Each island 
has its own characteristics and its own blend and alone qualifies for your
visit there.
While these islands count for a single DXCC entity, they offer three 
(3) IOTA groupings.
With this unique AZORES 9 ISLANDS HUNT, an invited international group 
of amateur radio operators together with resident Azores amateurs will 
be activating the nine islands, offering an opportunity to the world 
to contact these islands all at once over one weekend.
Activity Weekend - Saturday, September 29th, 1200 UTC to September 
30th, 1200 UTC (24 hours). These stations will be active starting 
Friday, September 28th as soon as they become operational.
Frequency Windows
CW: 7000-7015, 18080-18090 and 14050-14065 kHz
SSB: 7175-7195, 18120-18135 and 14250-14275 kHz

Nine Islands and their Stations - Santa Maria, CU1ARM; San Miguel, 
CU2ARA; Terceira, CU3URA; Graciosa, CU4ARG; Sao Jorge, CU5AM; Pico, 
CU6GRP; Faial, CU7CRA; Flores, CU8ARF; and Corvo, CU9AC.

<mailto:BillLokken at comcast.net?subject=Re%3A%20FCC%20released%20the%20mandat
ed%20%27report%20to%20Congress%27%20on%20the%20Amateur%20Ra> "Bill Lokken"
rockhound1942 


What I get from this is that Congress asked the FCC to do a study on,
generally, the value of amateur radio to emergency agencies and asked if
there were any unreasonable impediments to radio operations by hams.

The Report to Congress is the report that was asked for by the Congressional
statute 6 months ago. Through a Public Notice, the FCC solicited comments
and received many inputs from hams and interested organizations, including
the ARRL. 

The conclusions of the FCC study are:

1. Amateur radio IS valuable in disaster situations for many reasons and its
value has been proven in many recent situations.

2. Credentialing of hams from a national agency like the FCC or DHS to enter
disaster areas to provide communications was probably not warranted and
should be left to state and local agencies (as it is now). But the study
suggested that DHS could provide training to state and local emergency
organizations on how to better incorporate ham capabilities into their plans
and processes and to provide access credentials in a more organized way.

3. The FCC's past policy concerning preemption of state and local
regulations on amateur radio was not to do it. Their policy left it to state
and local authorities to regulate such things as antenna height, repeaters,
etc. The FCC wants these agencies to provide reasonable accommodation but
does not specify what reasonable is. The FCC's conclusion in the study is
that there would be no change to the past policy.

4. Restrictions on hams from CC&R's in living communities vary broadly but
in each case are private contracts. Hams voluntarily subjected themselves to
them. It recognized that stations could be operated remotely. The FCC's
policy in the past was not to preempt CC&R's. The conclusion in the study
was to continue that policy without change.

The bottom line is that the FCC recommended to Congress that no further
Congressional action be taken regarding amateur radio. Personally I think
the study has raised awareness of the ham's plight in trying to get better
antennas, repeater networks and integration with local emergency agencies.
It has also provided general recognition of the dedication hams have to
helping with everything from disasters to bicycle races. I don't think we
are going to see relief from CC&R's in terms of allowing outside antennas. I
was hoping that maybe a national standard could be developed that would
allow at least HF verticals in stealth locations.

I hope I interpreted all this right!
