Clint Bradford K6LCS will be the guest speaker at the June 2, 2014 meeting of the
Western Amateur Radio Association (WARA) club in northern Orange County, California.
All are welcome to attend.
"We will be discussing amateur radio satellites in the first part of our session. Then we will
have a seminar on "Handling Emergency Calls on Amateur Radio," Clint advises.
WARA already knows Clint's devotion to the ham satellites - and has spoken to the club
and demonstrated "working a bird" for us before. And his "Handling Emergency Calls ... "
presentation is one he has developed in conjunction with local law enforcement,
California's Department of Transportation, and the California Highway Patrol.
"WARA has a marvelous record of supporting amateur radio - and has been an ARRL
Affiliate Club for about 35 years. I am pleased they have asked me to speak to their
club again," Clint said.
Western Amateur Radio Association holds its general meeting at the Sizzler Restaurant
at 1401 N. Harbor, Fullerton, CA (by Brea Blvd., north of the Courthouse on the west side
of the road). The meeting starts at 7:00pm in the meeting room, but you should show up
about an hour early if you would also like to get some food.

Hello
-After a too long repair issue with my elevation rotor I want to share this information. The position potentiometer went bad in my rotor. I got a new pot from Yaesu. The current replaceable part is not the same as the original. There is a small alignment key way in the original pot that makes for proper alignment. The replacement pot has the same alignment "bump" but the pot is physically different is size therefore the alignment does not line up. The small key way has to be ground off so this makes proper alignment both physically and electrically critical. There are internal stops in the pot which would make improper alignment to cause stripped gears. This is all doable but requires very close attention to detail. Short of this you can always just send the rotor to Yaesu. This was real PITA job.

Hi all,
I like to share a project I recently made for my 2 FT-817's (which is
compatible with the FT-857 en 897 too).
This controller connected to both radio's, (can be 2 different 8xx's
too), will make a full satellite "rig".
It has pre programmed satellites with their frequencies and modes.
When selecting a satellite, both radio's are initialized as the uplink
and downlink radio.
Also the controller will switch the microphone and headphone to the
correct radio.
So no need for unplugging anymore.

Headline from The Onion: "Modernized Space Camp Allows Kids To Simulate
Frustration Over Lack Of Funding"
http://www.theonion.com/articles/modernized-space-camp-allows-kids-to-simul…
"HUNTSVILLE, AL — Aiming to provide attendees with an authentic glimpse into
the nation’s space program, representatives for the U.S. Space & Rocket
Center announced Thursday that its newly updated Space Camp will allow
children to simulate the anger and mounting frustration experienced by NASA
personnel over a continual lack of funding. Camp organizers explained that the
redesigned education program will offer kids the unique opportunity to contend
with all of the budgetary restrictions and bureaucratic red tape impeding the
progress of actual astronauts and researchers, allowing children from grades
four to six to immerse themselves in a true-to-life NASA environment in which
financial shortfalls and endless procedural delays plague them at every
turn."
This would be funny if it were not so close to the truth.
