Message-ID: <B237EA3DA5364990A8F268A512F3321B@marvbronsPC>

Hello,

I want to bring you up to date on what is happening on the HR-4969
front.

Congress goes back into session next week. During the month of August,
while Congress was in recess, efforts were made on numerous fronts to
try to get appointments to speak directly with our Congressional
representatives. In all instances it was very difficult to get
appointments, and in most instances it proved to be impossible as most
were away from their Districts on either business or vacation. The same
held true with senior staff members who happened to be local during the
vacation.

I met personally with Elliot Engel (D-NY 16), Jon Runyan (R-NJ 3),
Peter King (R-NY2) and Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-NJ 11). These meetings
also included the participation of a number of hams who were
constituents of these legislators. Without their help, we would not be
as successful as we've been.

Although we still don't have an answer from Mr. Runyan, we are hopeful
that the work done by his constituents; Chris Cannatella KC2GNQ and
John Kafka KB2BAA will be the impetus for his joining on.

The work done by Jim Mezey W2KFV, George Tranos N2GA, and Mike Mazzola
KC2OLA were the reason we got Mr. King to agree to co-sponsor the
Bill.

And the fact that Carver Washburn W2TFM and Bill Hudzik W2UDT (Vice
Director) both personally know Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-NJ 11) was
doubtless why we got a meeting and what put him into the HR-4969 camp
yesterday.

I want to thank all of these fine people for the immeasurable help
they've been to the cause! 

I'd also like to thank the many hams in the Hudson Division who reached
out to their representatives in an effort to schedule appointments,
albeit unsuccessfully. The fact is that even without a sit down
meeting you also make our Congressional delegation aware of Amateur
Radio and of our plight.

I will be returning to D.C. on the 15th to continue the work we started
in June. We now have 24 legislators committed to HR-4969, 10 of whom
come from our work. I see no reason why we shouldn't have 40 or 50
co-sponsors if we put our minds to it.

I will update you after I return from Washington. In the interim,
let's keep our fingers crossed and hope that the good work we do as
Amateur Radio operators is noticed.

Vy 73 de Mike N2YBB

ARRL Hudson Div. Director

P.S. It isn't too late for you to add your voice by contacting your House representative and ask them to support HR-4969. Again, this may be the very last opportunity amateur radio will ever have to fix the PRB-1 problem of unequal treatment!

The Southern California based PAPA Repeater System will be reprising its popular special radio event!

Under the call sign K6H, ?Ham Radio Celebrates Hollywood? will be held on Sunday, September 28, 2014 from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm PST and originate from Stage 9 of the CBS Studio Center facility in Studio City, California.

Historic Stage 9 is the home of ABC?s hit TV show, ?Last Man Standing?, starring Tim Allen. ?Seinfeld?, ?Spin City?, ?According To Jim?, ?Cane?, ?The Cleaner? and ?The Defenders? are among the shows that have been shot on the stage.

?Last Man Standing? has just been renewed for its 4th season and a number of the shows licensed radio operators will be on hand to host the PAPA members.

Many paths and modes will be available to contact the stage including HF, VHF, UHF, DSTAR, Echolink and IRLP.

This is not a contest, but a fun opportunity for amateur operators to talk directly to the stage on the equipment seen on ?Last Man Standing? each week.

To facilitate contacts the event will be streamed live via the internet and operators will BLOG in real-time on Twitter and the PAPA System webpage.

A special, limited edition QSL card will be issued to all confirmed contacts.

A schedule of operating times and frequencies will be announced shortly. For more information contact Rob Antonacci at: sideshowbob0374 at yahoo.com and watch the PAPA System Website

RVRC Members,

There was a healthy dialogue at the Wednesday night RVRC meeting about
continual access to the repeater site. Susan Lund was our guest that evening
and she ensured us that the RVRC repeaters will always have a home on her
property on West Rock Road. The estate has yet to be finalized and she has
taking on a job to make ends meet. There are some needs that are met through
the efforts of her and Kenny to manage things with plenty assist through
prayers.

Susan assured the members that nothing has changed since the repeater was
first installed on the property 30 years ago and she will make sure it stays
that way. As far as personal hardship this is not a new state for her, even
when Eric was amongst us they always found the means to make ends meet, She
did mention that the only members she sees lately have been the Nannery; s
and Craig. Rumors are floating around that she intends to forge the winter
on firewood alone because of lack of funds to purchase heating oil. Major
work is also being done to the water main feeding the property.

Kenny mentioned that the oil tank has been recently filled so they are fine
now and Susan is looking into accepting a boarder that could help defray
some of the cost. In any event she requires 3 tank fills to weather the
critical winter that's projected and she and Kenny will take care of that
need. The Vice President and Treasurer suggested that a heating oil fund
based on individual donations is something the club could do and the members
present thought that was a great idea and began donating to the fund. 

If you would like to donate to the Heating Oil fund for Susan Lund please
send your donation to the treasurer, Anna Nannery located at 99 Woodlawn
Ave., Fords, NJ 08863. Please note your donation as such. The Lund family
has given us a home for or repeater at a great site and we can show our warm
appreciation.

Marguerite's Email Was Hacked!

We are well, we are not in Manila, we do not need money.

 


 --- <http://rbshreve.com/wp-content/uploads/wysija/dividers/solid.jpg> 

 


 

Dear Eldred,

All is well, but some of you received an email saying that we were mugged in
Manila, Philippines and needed money to get home. This was a hoax and a scam
attempt to defraud you of money.

Here is the text of the phony email:

I hope this email finds you well!

 I could not inform everyone about our family trip to Manila Philippines
The Vacation was successful, but our journey has turned sour we were mugged
last night at gun point and all valuables were stolen, (cash, bank cards and
mobile phone, it was a brutal experience we went to shop before leaving to
the airport since our return flight soon, quite honestly it was beyond a
dreadful experience for us but looking on the bright side we weren't
seriously hurt or injured, we are still alive so that is what's important
and luckily we had my passport in my hotel room to get us home.

 I need your help financially to get back home, I need to settle some
outstanding hotel bills and also take a cab to the airport. I am really
sorry i am asking this of you, believe me I don't want to ask I would rather
take care of it my self but I cant, I have contacted my bank, but the best
they can do is to mail a new card which will take 7 to 10 days to get here.
All I need right now is $1950 , If you can help that would be great and I
promise to make the refund once I get back home.

Please let me know if you can help me

Regards

Marguerite Chandler

Was There AnyClue This Was a Scam?

Although the "from" address was actually Marguerite's email, the "reply"
address was a phony AOL address someone created in her name. It may have
looked legit at first glance, but there were clues that it was a fraud

  1. It was sent to "undisclosed recipients".
  2. It has grammar errors.
  3. It gives a different reply address than her usual address.
  4. One can just as easily phone as email these days. 

But the trauma the email describes could cause people who know and love
Marguerite to be so concerned that they would miss the clues and react
without much thought. The scam artist counts on this shock effect (termed
social engineering) and the desire of friends and relatives to come to the
rescue. All they need is one or two victims to make this scam pay. The
cruelty of the ruse is that those who are closest to the person "mugged" are
most likely to respond without thinking twice.

We hope none of you who care so much were deceived.

How Did the Scammer Get Your Addresses?

Earlier in the week Marguerite responded to an email, ostensibly from Apple,
that purported to offer expanded iCloud service. It was a ruse to gain
access to her email account and snatch her address book. There was no
obvious way to spot that the email was a fraud, and when the thief stole the
address book, he or she also erased all of her email history, thus
eliminating our ability to share this bit of the fraud with you.  But
suffice it to say that unless you are expecting an email with a link, and
know it to be authentic, you should not respond. Most organizations will ask
you to close the email and log in to your account. Exceptions would be
emails you get in response to a request you made.

Thanks to all who called or emailed us about this "spoof" as hackers call
it. We regret the drama. To add insult to injury, Marguerite has spent most
of the afternoon on the phone with Apple security and Apple support getting
her email working again.

Be well, and mind the light,

Richmond (& Marguerite)

There will be a workday this Saturday at the repeater site starting around 9 AM.  The work that is planned includes outside cleanup around the tower area, insulation and electrical work in the shed, and prep work in the garage to get ready to move the club gear into the shed.

We need workers to help move equipment and to do yard cleanup outside the shed and around the tower area.  You will need some good strong boots, long pants and work gloves.  We also need steel rakes, weed trimmers, garbage bags etc for the cleanup.  

For any first timers, the site is on a hill that is fairly rocky with some thick brush in places.  Please be prepared.

Jim Nannery KC2ZXP will be working in the shed to apply spray on insulation.  This is a urethane type foam material that comes in tanks similar to a propane tank.  Help is needed to move this equipment up to the shed and to support Jim moving things around during the work.

We also hope to clean out some of the unused club "stuff" in garage to get the cabinets ready to move into the shed.  Other work may take place as time and human resources allow.

Please arrive close to 9 AM so we can get organized and start working.  

The address is:

112 Rock Rd. West
Greenbrook, NJ 08812

Thank you

Hi all,

I know it's short notice but I just got word of this myself. The run takes place in Kearny at Redemptoris Mater Seminary in the late afternoon. I am including link to website. Plan on manning fixed checkpoints and radio cars to shadow runners. This is a great opportunity for us to shine for our hobby. Please let me know ASAP if you can help.

I was curious about being able to add frequencies and/or CTCSS (PL) on the fly using the front keypad.  Here is what their reply to me was;

Hi Marvin,

You can only program the CS700 using a PC, so no FPP*.

Cheers!

P.S. The radio has only a 16 position ''channel switch''.  This severly limits the radio's usefulness unless it has ''banks'' of programmable space to add more repeater and simplex ''channels''/frequencies!

This is a second call for volunteers as I have not heard back from anyone willing to step up. This complacent attitude of the membership isn't helping the progress and exposure of and for our club or ham radio as a whole. When others look to us for assistance, even for a public service event, and get no response to assist, it gives them a negative impression of us as being nothing more than lip service. Faith without works is dead and a club without works is dead. I would like to be able to write the event organizer back and tell him I have people that will assist, but the way it is looking I will have to tell him I cannot provide them with anyone and we won't have a second chance for future events with them. After repeated attempts to try to get this club to get out and do more so we can get exposure to promote not just ourselves but promote the hobby, a win win situation. But it seems there is no interest and the majority of you are more than content
 to do a hamfest once a year and club meetings and nothing else. Actions speak louder than words, and what I am hearing is that most of you can't or don't want to be bothered.

Susan,

Sorry you were unable to get any volunteers for the event.Since weekends 
represent the majority of our free time, activities are planned usually 
well in advance. A 24 hour notice just doesn't work for a planned event.

Excuse me Drew but it was more than 24 hours, more like 72+ hours and I 
had only found out about it myself. I really feel sorry for the club, I 
thought hams were supposed to be ready for anything at a moments notice. 
If the club can't respond to public service events then I can only 
imagine your responses to major emergencies. "oh I'm sorry I can't help, 
I have to take my kid to soccer practice, oh I'm sorry I can't help, I 
have to run the social net, oh I'm sorry I have a date..." and it's not 
just because people get busy, this club just doesn't want to do extra 
and I should have known better than to ask. I figured out of the 
membership, I would have found 2 or 3 that weren't busy to pull this 
event off. Silly me!!!

Message-ID: <8D1A7BBBB88B259-2528-1D1B9@webmail-m162.sysops.aol.com>


RVRC Members


The RVRC workday on September 20 that was announced at our September business meeting (and earlier by email to this list) was very successful.  


We had 9 participants working from about 9 AM through late afternoon on Saturday with additional work on Sunday and Monday afternoons. The team did a great job cleaning up the hill area around the club tower and the shed with lots of 'weed trimmers' and 'blowers' being used to give the area a very nice fall clean up.  


Susan was VERY happy with the results.  
This was a great 'good neighbor' effort to support our club's host.


In addition to the yard cleanup, we made very significant progress on the radio shed project.  
The list of major tasks completed include:

Full insulation of the shed using a 2 part spray on foam product.  The foam material more than met the expectations for a 2 inch R11 equivalent. We probably got more like 3 inches in most spots so the shed will be nice and cozy.  The material is very hard after curing so we may be able to leave portions uncovered (the roof for example) to keep our costs down.
Electrical work was completed to bring 4 more circuits into the panel box to eventually power up to 3 radio rack circuits and a separate circuit for the roof fan.
"Box out" work was completed prior to the insulation spray work to provide entry points for the Coax Access Pass Through panel and any supporting ground anchor point equipment.
Lots of cleanup after the insulation job.

Unscheduled follow up work on Sunday and Monday by a few members included:

Removal of insulation over-spray from the wall studs, floor and wall headers, electrical boxes and general cleanup in preparation for any wall finishing at a later date.
Belt sanding of the entire floor to prepare for sealing
Sealing of the floor with 2 coats of a durable floor paint

The participants for these efforts included

Jim Nannery - KC2ZXP 
Anna Nannery - KD2 DUK 
Paul Nannery - KC2VRJ 
Bruce Nadler - KC2YSF 
Pete Fiero - KD2ARB 
John Erdek - K2KPA 
Alan Wolke - W2AEW 
Dave Robinson - KG2AE (our newest club applicant) 
Craig Saums - AC2FE 

A rough estimate of work hours is approximately 65 to 70 man hours across 3 days.
I personally want to thank everyone for their commitment to making the workday(s) a success.


Thank you to all that participated

Message-ID: <1287be46.120866.148bf9f1cf8.Webtop.58@optonline.net>




Everyone,
?
A bill, HR-4969, has been introduced in the US House. ?Entitled the 
"Amateur Radio Parity Act of 2014" the bill will direct the FCC to 
extend the "reasonable accommodation" provisions for Amateur Radio 
antennas?to include all types of land-use regulation, including deed 
restrictions and restrictive covenants. ?This is IMPORTANT LEGISLATION 
that deserves your attention, support and most importantly, direct and 
immediate ACTION
?
What will HR 4969 do?- <http://www.arrl.org/hr-4969>
It will ensure that every ham in the US, regardless of the community 
they live in, will have the opportunity to practice their avocation from 
their own homes without breaking any rules or fear of reprisal.
?
If enacted, HR 4969 would direct the FCC to extend the reasonable 
accommodation protections to those amateurs who are living in 
deed-restricted communities.? Known as "CC&Rs" (covenants, conditions 
and restrictions) are the prohibitions and limitations placed on 
properties by builders or home-owner associations (HOAs) which prevent 
licensed Amateurs from erecting even modest antennas.?
?
HR 4969 would not give Amateurs "carte blanche" to do whatever they 
wished. It would require HOAs and other private land use regulations to 
extend reasonable accommodation to Amateurs wishing to erect antennas.
?
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
?
The ARRL has a comprehensive explanation of this bill on their website: 
?http://www.arrl.org/hr-4969 <http://www.arrl.org/hr-4969>
?
Please read over the material, and spend ten minutes to compose and send 
your own comments to the US Representative for your political entity. 
?Genuine, original correspondence is far more effective than petitions 
or form letters. ?If you know your Congressman personally, call him or 
her. ?Use electronic means to submit comments.....snail mail is often 
delayed WEEKS due to security precautions in effect since 9-11.
?
It is extremely important we do everything possible with this 
opportunity. ?The future of current and future Amateur Radio operators 
to install any antennas where they live is at stake. ?Restrictions on 
antennas at the HOA and CC&R level are growing exponentially. ?It is 
time to act....NOW. Thanks.
?
?
STAY SAFE AND STAY WELL!
