City of Palmdale, California Members of the Planning Commission Asoka Herath, Director of Planning Richard Kite, Assistant Director of Planning 38300 Sierra Highway Palmdale, CA 93550 To All: Your proposed zoning change is prempted by Federal laws and Regulations, and will not withstand a challenge in courts. You do not have the technical expertise on staff to enforce the laws because you do not have RF engineers who can tell you whether a particiular mode of propagation requires a particular size and type of antenna. You will incur great expense trying to defend poorly researched legislation. When the great quake comes, and all of the Cities communiations is out of service, when the cell phone towers have toppled or collapsed and the local phone company is no longer operational then you are going to wish that you had some local amateur radio operators to aid in emergency operations. I suggest that you contact the City of Rushford and the County of Winona, Minnesota about the value of amateur radio operators during the disasterous flooding of August, 2007. Rushford had sufficient rain to flood the downtown and mush of the outlying areas of town. The local telephone exchange was flooded and out of service. The cell phone towers were without power and not operational and city ogvernment communications were non-existent. Amateur Radio Operators working with the Red Cross provided communication into the city. Amateur Rqdio operators volunteered from many parts of the state to come to the aid of Rushford. My wife Shari, (WA9IGK), spent nights at the Red Cross Shelters in Winona providing valuable communication. Amateur Radio was providing road information the Emergency Management of Winona County. This was the only means that Emergency Management could get timely information about the conditions of the roads. There were many washouts and collapses. I do not know why you would spit in the face of amateur radio operators who by the very Rules of 97 of the Federal Communications Act of 1934 will participate and assist in communications during times of civil distress. Where else are your going to get free emergency communications?

The Straight Key Century Club (SKCC) started by Tom KC9ECI in Galesville just topped 5,000 members. Tom and a few ham acquaintances hatched this idea and started the club right after ARRL Straight Key Night in 2006. So the group is not even three years old yet! This is a fun group--very good for CW learners and neophytes like me. But there are also some excellent experienced CW operators who are active. A straight key is considered to be any key which forms code by mechanical means--pump key, sideswiper or bug. If you are interested in seeing what is going on, check out their website at http://www.skccgroup.com/ . SKCC is running a 3rd anniversary special event station(s), K3Y, for the whole month of January, Sounds like a good way to stay warm in MN in the middle of winter. I plan to operate as K3Y/0 for the Zero District off-and-on during the month. If you want to hear a really slow, bad CW operator, check me out.

Message-ID: <494D7F1D.50801@acegroup.cc> Hi Les & Matt (and others), First of all, thank you again for taking the lead in the club's public service project to help with publicity for the digital TV launch. And thank you also to the others who indicated at breakfast this morning that they are willing to work on the project. It is very much appreciated. Well,...I had some time to look at the one remaining broadcast receiving TV in the house. Previously I had bought a converter box and it found four stations on automatic tune (8.1, 8.2, 25.1 & 25.2). Previously we received five (8, 13,19, 25 & 31) on analog. Same antenna--whip rabbit ears (principally VHF). TV located in the interior of the lower level of the house--two walls separating the TV from the downhill walk-out portion of the level which faces toward La Crosse. I had checked our expected digital channels on the website below, which projected that six channels should be received from here. So I tried this afternoon to tune one of the missing channels manually--and got it marginally. Then I found a loop VHF TV antenna--the type which is screwed directly onto the TV set under the terminal screws on the back of the set. I attached it to a scrap six-foot length of 300 ohm twin lead and got it up 6-7 feet on the interior wall. I was able to get the fifth station stronger and get the sixth station also. So far, so good. Then I ran automatic tune and nine stations were found !!! (8.1, 8.2, 19.1, 19.2, 25.1, 25.2, 31.1, 31.2, and 31.3) Since the house is moderately low in the valley, I went back to the website and put the receiving location up on top--by the entrance to the Great River Bluffs State Park. The website projected 9 channels--but showed 13.1 and 13.2 from Eau Claire instead of 31.2 & 31.3. I went back to the TV to manually tune for the Eau Claire channels, but no dice. The bluff is in the way. The website never did mention the Rochester station, to my surprise. I guess they are going to broadcast digital also. http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/welcome.aspx The website has some pretty good features. Once the receiving address is entered and expected stations listed, a click on the "show street-level map" shows a map with azimuth indicators for antenna pointing. There is also what appears to be pretty good info about antenna types as part of the website. Well,...with nine stations on the TV in the exercise/furnace room, I guess I will be working out more often. :-) 73, Len From Litvan at acegroup.cc Sat Dec 20 23:28:46 2008 From: Litvan at acegroup.cc (Len Litvan) Date: Sat Dec 20 23:28:49 2008 Subject: [WARC] Marry Christmas - - - In CW In-Reply-To: <494D711C.6030907@galesvillefiredepartment.org> References: <494CDE89.1050608@acegroup.cc> <0AA910AC1EE24B2BBE925E583B449EA0@Europa>, <494D4438.5060402@acegroup.cc> <494D711C.6030907@galesvillefiredepartment.org> Message-ID: <494D7FAE.4080203@acegroup.cc> Tom, Are you drinking your own homebrew again???

One inch wide if double-sided or two inches wide if single-sided. If you have any for sale or know of a local source, please let me know. It will be used as the beam of a homebrew UHF log periodic receive antenna for DTV. I have thought of going to Benchmark or other local business and seeing if they have any scrap or any for sale, but I am looking for another source first.
