LAST CLUB MEETING 

The December 4th program 

consisted of information on 

the clu,'s new autopatch 

system and a surprise (at 

least to the outgoing 

president) presentation of a 

plaque and proclamation of 

appreciation to Stan, W9FQN. 

Attending were 85 members 

and 13 guests for a total of 

98 (counted 104-Ed). 

Art-KB6YHZ, Larry-KC6PEN 

and Larry's charming wife, 

Kleko, again supervised the 

drink and goodie table. The 

goodie table needs goodies 

so why not bring something 

for the next meeting. 

Thanks. If you don't do it, 

who will? :~ 

NEXT CLUB MEETING 

Our next club meeting 

will be another attempt at 

seeing John's (WB6IQS) 

slides of Russia. This 

should be a good meeting for 

the entire family. The 

meeting will be January 8th 

at 7:30pm in Lincoln Middle 

School Cafeteria on 

Escondido Avenue in Vista 

SHOW AND TELL will feature: 

l)whatever you bring 

in (pramises, pramises, 

promises, and 2)2m HT amplifiers.

I hope St. Nick 

brought everything on 

your list. A FT-IOOD, 

a Henry 3K, and a 100' 

tower with stacked 

mono-banders. No? 

Well better luck next 

year. 

Following Stan onstage 

is not an 

envious position. He 

left a very large pair 

of shoes to fill. I 

only hope I can do 

half as well.

Parviz Kmniao, 

waiting on his Tech call, 

for keeping his eyes open 

and spotting a LARGE number 

of 12 volt, 38 AHr, NEW 

sealed 27 pound lead-acid 

(gel cell) batteries which 

the club can use in quite a 

few emergency areas. 

Contact W9FQN if you have a 

need to borrow one or more 

of the club's emergency 

batteries for same public 

service event. We will keep 

them on charge using a solar 

panel. 

These batteries came 

at a good time since we were 

just about ready to purchase 

special batteries for the 

autopatches. They will

If your new rig can 

do "touch-tone" signaling 

(TT encoded squelch), you 

need to remember that you 

must identify those 3-5 

digit calling tones each 

time you transmit them so 

that we and the FCC know who 

is making the call. We know 

your SECRET code but we do 

not know to whom it belongs 

•••yet. Please identify so 

that others will recognize 

that it is the proper thing 

to do. 

The 146.730 repeater 

was shut down on three 

occasions the 1st week in 

December by control operator(s). 

One was accidental 

and the other two because of 

repeater content. PARC has 

no responsibility to allow 

the repeaters to repeat that 

which violates club policies 

although at times we do 

allow things to continue on 


long enough to locate the 

offending station. 

The control operators 

have the responsibility to 

"turn off" the repeaters 

when it is felt that the 

repeaters are being improperly 

used. "Improper use" 

is subject to each control 

operator's judgment as 

he/she sees FCC rules and 

regulations and how he/she 

interprets PARC's policies. 

We average about 3-5 

shutdowns per year although 

the first week of December 

saw three "shut downs." One 

was accidental on 146.763 

where the operator thought 

he/she was turning off the 

449.425 repeater which had 

some electrical problems, 

and the other two were on 

146.73 when in the judgment 

of the control operator(s) 

the repeater was being 

JAN'92 

improperly used. We are a 

"family/technical" repeater 

system and we like to see 

conversations that do not 

contain 4-letter words or 

sexual undertones. The 

dlgipeater \~s accidentally 

turned off the following 

week when codes for control 

of the autopatch conflicted 

with codes for the 

repeaters.

WORK PARTIES 

(12-8)John-WB6IQS 

located the problem with the 

449.425 repeater which was 

in the IDer section ••a bad 

transistor causing the repeater 

to remain keyed-up. 

The repeater is now on the 

air but minus the IDer so 

voice ID of W6NWG will be 

required till the IDer board 

is repaired by Mike-KC6KCQ 

and replaced by Mike later 

on during the week. 

Jerry-WB6FMT connected 

up the new 147.130 autopatch 

interface and discovered 

that someone forgot 

to provide a cammon ground 

for the patch cable on the 

147.13 repeater. After this 

was corrected the 147.13 

autopatch worked properly 

although it was noted that 

the deviation on the 147.130 

repeater is set high. 

Jerry, John, and Mike spent 

a lot of time trying to find 

out why the 146.730 autopatch 

interface card was 

having problems at one of 

its op-amp stages. The 

cause was not found and 

because of the wind and cold 

the card was pulled to be 

worked on in a wanner 

environment. The temperature 

was in the low 40's and 

dropped steadily until 

SCOPE-JAN'92 CLUB MTG WED, January 8th, 1930Hr, LINCOLN MID.SCHooL Pg. 5

JAN'92 

everyone left. 

Stan-W9FQN and Mike 

worked in the battery shed 

trying to earthquake proof 

the 350 pound batteries and 

close up holes under the 

roof where snow might blow 

into the building. 

We were joined by 

Mike's co-worker at the 

Observatory, Tennant who 

already has a dual-bander 

and is working on his 

license, and Jim-KC6PAS and 

friend. 

(12·;;'9) Jerry trodif,ied 

the 146.13 control board 

Monday afternoon and Stan 

took it back up to the 

mountain Monday evening. It 

was still cold and windy on 

the mountain. The trodified 

board worked but it 

conflicted with the 141.13 

patch control board so it 

was removed and brought back 

for checking. The problem 

was interesting. Both 

146.13 and 141.13 patches 

work with their boards 

plugged in separately but 

not when both are plugged in 

at the same time. Back to 

the drawing board. 

(12-11) Mlke-KC6KCQ 

worked Wednesday evening in 

the cold ins·tall lng the 

449.425 IDer which check ok 

but found that the 12v DC 

supply was bad. 'He replaced 

the the bad supply with a 

borrowed one and everything 

worked normal. 

(12-12)Jerry-WB6FMT 

and Stan-W9FQN spent 

Thursday afternoon at the 

repeater site adjusting 

autopatch levels, removing a 

logic error, and completing 

the addition of Erik's 

141.13 repeater to the autopatch 

system three days 

ahead of schedule. The 

449.425 repeater will be 

added to the autopatch 

system sometime in January 

and we still have room for 

one more repeater in the 

design. Between tests Stan 

added more earthquake 

protection to the 3,300 AHr 

battery system and closed up 

same holes in the shed where 

snow might blow into the 

bu ilding. 

(12-14)Mike-KC6KCQ 

again visited the repeater 

site to install a different 

temporary 12V DC power 

supply for the 449.425 IDer. 

(12-15)John-WB6IQS 

and Bill-KC6YOX went to the 

mountain to complete same 

modifications on the new 

146.13 patch interface card 

••operation successful but 

John still wants to tap the 

audio off at a different 

location in the repeater. 

They also ch~cked out what 

needed to be done to the 

449.425 repeater so that an 

autopatch card could be put 

into that repeater in early 

January. 

We have openings for 

repeater site engineers, 

technicians, and helpers. 

If you are interested in 

dreaming ••and doing, 

contact Stan-W9FQN, John 

WB6IQS, or any club officer. 

Same ideas are: l)automatic 

DFlng, 2)HF & VHF/UHF linking, 

3)remote control HF 

rigs for condo owners, 

4)high speed packet, 5)HF 

club station (we have a 

great location in Carlsbad, 

room, radio equipment and 

antennas); we just need a 

group to set it all up. If 

your "get and and go" has 

already left, don't apply. 

It should be noted 

that it takes a lot of hard 

work to keep a repeater site 

working and many trips to 

the mountain by a few dedicated 

mnateurs. We are 

always pleased to see new 

faces. 

Our repeaters in the 

PARC bunker on Palomar Mt. 

at 5,600' cover 2,000 sq.mi. 

of SD.Co. and 100+ miles out 

to sea. It is club policy 

that these repeaters are 

open repeaters FOR CLUB 

MEMBERS AND OCCAS IONAL 

TRANSIENT USERS with the 

AUTO PATCHES being ONLY for 

club members. Be FRIENDLY 

to those that you talk to, 

and INVITE them to support 

the club with their 

membership since they are 

using the repeaters in the 

PARe bunker. You can check 

their membership in PARe by 

asking them if they have 

seen something in the most 

recent SCOPE. 

############################ 

AUTO PATCHES 

############################ 

PARC has a "patch 

access" sheet describing the 

autopatches, codes, prefixes 

allowed, and general information 

on the patch system 

identical to the one handed 

out at the December club 

meeting. New members interested 

in the patches should 

send a SASE (self addressed 

and stamped envelope) to 

W9FQN, 30311 Circle R Lane, 

Valley Center, CA 92082-4806 

for a copy of the sheet or 

pick one up at the next club 

meeting. 

ERRORS or PROBLEMS: 

shut down patch with "#", 

wait 3-5sec, try again. Do 

not run codes one after 

another without "#" inbetween 

or you will get into 

2-3 patches and not hear 

anything of value. 

At present, if you 

call where you need to dial 

extention numbers, you will 

not find a problem as long 

as there is no "#" in the 

extention code which would 

TERMINATE your autopatch. 

SCOPE-JAN'92 EXEC MTG THUR, January 16th, 1930Hr, Harry-WA6YOO's QTH Pg. 6

We hope to have a solution 

to this problem installed 

next Spring .•when the 

weather warms up. 

The autopatch SYSTEM 

can process only ONE call at 

a time to a patch center 

while the other two centers 

must be "sleeping." 

Repeaters connected 

to the Palamar Mountain 

SYSTEM: 146.73 (Nov), 147.13 

(Dec 12th), & 449.425 (by 

Jan 12th). At this writing 

147.13 is turned off because 

of decoding problems and 

will need to be fixed on the 

next trip to the mountain. 

If one patch is not working, 

try another PARC repeater. 

These autopatches are 

being taped along with the 

numbers being called and we 

have the ability to prevent 

calls being made to specific 

areas and SPECIFIC telephone 

numbers - like ur home phone 

or place of business. 

Enough said! 

If you get a 

"disconnect" and get another 

dial tone, you are probably 

in the wrong 1/3rd of San 

Diego or you found a prefix 

that we forgot to program 

into the giant computers. 

Let us know if you have a

The January 8th 

program was a slide show by 

John, WB6IQS, our repeater 

technical chairman, on his 

trip to Russia during the 

Russian coup last summer. 

Attendance was 102 

with 88 members and 14 

guests • 

Art-KB6YHZ, Larry 

KC6PEN, and Larry's channing 

wife, Kieko (Kay), again 

supervised the drink and 

goodie table. The goodie 

table always needs goodies 

so consider bringing something 

next meeting. If you 

don't, who will? 

Many thanks to Mlke 

KC6KCQ's wife, Barbara 

KD6ECD, for sending us

PARC members: if your 

area is not represented 

above and you would like to 

serve as an ELMER in your 

area to get someone started 

in amateur radiO, please 

contact W9FQN. Your 

responsibility would be to 

introduce them to PARC and 

club meetings, Ham Radio

############################ 

PRESIDENTIAL QRM 

############################ 

Ask not what Amateur 

Radio can do for you, 

ask what you can do for 

Amateur Radio. In a 

larger context, 

President Kennedy 

thought the same about 

the country. He meant 

that America gave so 

much to its citizens 

that the citizens 

should consider giving 

something back. 

Thus it is with Amateur 

Radio. Most derive 

a great deal of 

pleasure from our 

hobby, whether it is 

OXing, rag chewing with 

our buddies on 75 

meters, or just having 

a two-meter rig in the 

car in case of 

emergency. How can we 

give something back to 

the hobby from which we 

receive so much? 

A couple of weekends 

ago I heard KB6NMK, 

KC60EI, and others with 

their HTs at Camp 

Pendleton, helping out 

with a equestrian 

event. I thought that 

here are people giving 

something back, helping 

as volunteers in a 

community activity. 

What else can we do? 

There's a long list of 

activities that can use 

our help. How about 

Army, Navy, and Air 

Force MARS, ARES, 

RACES, various parades, 

bike-a-thons, Search 

and Rescue, Elmering 

some young person to 

help them get started 

in the hobby, assisting 

some handicapped person 

in setting up a tower, 

driving a non-driving 

person to meetings, 

baking a few munchies 

for meetings, the list 

goes on and on. 

All of us must battle 

against the "Let 

Someone Else 00 It" 

syndrome. If we all 

felt that way, nothing 

would ever get done. 

Look around you, see 

what needs to be done, 

get involved, you'll be 

glad you did.

Editor (W9FQN) has not been 

able to conduct the net for 

the past three Wednesday 

evenings nor has he been 

able to get substitutes to 

help out with the net. One 

Wednesday was the executive 

meeting which was changed 

fram Thursday evening and my 

daughter called up at 8:58pm 

wi th a canputer problem fram 

college which demanded 

immediate attention because 

her paper was due the next 

day •• so we need help. 

Paul-KB5MU has said that he 

would be able to help fram

indicated that many of you 

with Packet would be able to 

fire up the OW portion and

he could only get a C-64

749-0276 if you can help 

with the C-64 progrmn or in 

the sending of CW on 

Wednesday evenings. With 

five members able to send CW 

it would mean that you would 

only need to send it once a 

month. Please, we need your 

help since there are many 

people who are using the 

code practice but do not 

have licenses yet to check 

into the net.

TECHNICAL: John K. WB61QS 

John-WB6IQS has been 

at it again and has come up 

with a deal for a $800 450 

antenna which is going to 

cost the club $15 and an 

hour of work. Thanks John! 

Mike-KC6KCQ for 

accepting the engineering 

position for the new 50 watt 

449.425 solid state repeater 

which is going to be built 

to replace the old repeater 

using a tube final running 

900 volts and doesn't work 

well on 12vdc during 

emergencies. Mike will be 

assisted by Jerry-WB6FMT and 

John-WB6IQS will tune the 

converted Motorola radios to 

the new frequency. The new 

repeater will have autopatch 

connections and room for one 

or two Iinks • 

############################ 

AUTO PATCHES 

############################ 

All autopatches are 

up and working with the 

449.425 patch the last one 

to be added. If you have a 

450 rig, use the 449.425 

patch rather than the 2m 

patches since it is more 

private. The La Mesa patch 

has suffered two down times. 

Once the AC plug was pulled 

and the second time someone 

turned off the transmitter 

and receiver. 

We are sorry to say 

that due to an error in 

programming the following 

prefixes were left out: 390, 

748, 973-4-5-6-8-9. We hope 

to have this corrected by 

Febuary 15th when some other 

modifications need to be 

made. 

As soon as the new 

racks come in we will add 

battery backup to the three 

autopatches at VISTA, MMESA, 

and LMESA. We also need to 

add battery backup at the 

repeater site for the 

autopatch controller system 

and improve the antenna 

FEB'92 

system. 

If you are using the 

patch and you are mobile, 

please indicate for example: 

THIS IS N6YZZ MOBILE CLEAR 

PATCH, then press "#" to end 

the patch. If you do not 

use this form and the "I" at 

the end, the phone number 

you are calling could be 

deleted from the system. 

Newmembers need to 

remember that you cannot 

conduct business over the 

patch and we frown on your 

calling a place that answers 

with a company name ••and 

especially when they put 

music on the line while 

waiting to process your 

call. If you can't kill the 

music, we can kill your 

calling that number again. 

We already have a list of 

phone numbers being called 

that do not meet PARC (es 

FCC) requirements and we 

will disconnect these 

numbers if they continue to 

be abused. Possibly we 

should list these numbers in 

the SCOPE first and give you 

a chance to beg that they 

not be deleted. We already 

have three numbers in this 

list at present. When 

deleted you will just get a 

disconnect (dial tone) when 

you dial the "not permitted" 

number! 

Your autopatches are 

being recorded. The FCC 

says that you must use a 

beep to indicate that you 

are being recorded every 15 

seconds or advise the other 

person before you start that 

they are being recorded. 

SO, THIS IS YOUR NOTIFICA 

TION THAT YOU ARE BEING RE 

CORDED and we are doing It 

in writing. Everyone using 

the PARC autopatch system on 

Palamar Mountain IS being 

recorded. (Cont.pg 7)

WORK PARTIES 

############################ 

We have been spending 

a lot of time at the 

repeater site this year with 

work parties on antennas, 

feedlines, autopatches, and 

repeaters. If you have 

never seen a repeater site, 

contact W9FQN and get your 

name on the list for the 

next work party. You 

sometime really should see 

our investment in time and 

money on Palamar Mountain 

has bought for the club. We 

are one of the few clubs in 

the United States that own 

their own repeater site 

property. 

There is still quite 

a bit of work that needs to 

be done in 1992 and we hope 

that we can get the majority 

of it done before Field Day 

fever takes over. 

Since this section 

was lost in my great 

computer crash I will try to 

remember everything that 

went on this past month. 

Jerry-WB6FMT visited 

the site twice to make 

modifications on the autopatch 

system and connect up 

the system to the 449.425 

repeater. He was assisted 

by Mike, KC6KCQ 

John-WB6IQS visited 

the site twice to investigate 

449.425 problems and to 

make modifications to that 

repeater so that it could be 

connected up to the new 

autopatch 

system. 

Connections are completed 

and working properly. He 

was assisted by Mike,

what he did this 

month but he does remember 

twice seeing mud and snow on

right side top of label does 

not show a current LX

info. This information 

allowes you to be reminded 

monthly via the SCOPE of 

when your license is about 

to expire without looking at 

your FCC license every 

couple of years ••which is 

done very rarely by most of 

us. Same of the above 

calls, by our records, show 

licenses expired 2-3 years 

ago! WE HOPE YOU HAVE A 

CURRENT LICENSE! 

After two years there 

is no way you can get your 

present call back again and 

after five years there is no 

choice but to go back and 

take the examinations again! 

Last year our membership 

hit a new high in 

August of 450 members and we 

estimated that we would end 

the '91/92 year in August of 

'92 wi th 470 members ••as of 

1-16-92 we are at 471 

members so our new estimate 

is 500 members. Woops, 1 

26-92 its 479! 

Jo has been taking 

care of our membership file 

cards for the past several 

years and because of other 

obligations is looking for 

relief. The job consists of 

taking the applications and: 

l)record info in card file 

2)depositing the checks $$$ 

3)providing Bill-N6COU with

GENERAL NEWS 

############################ 

Scottie, KHSTL, and 

EVAC are looking for radio 

operators for the county 

wide disaster exercise to be 

held on Thursday, April 9th. 

Operators would be used in 

light aircraft and ground 

stations. Please contact 

him for more information at 

727-8836. Your editor 

(W9FQN) during the last 

exercise was able to be 

flown over his QTH, Palamar 

Mountain, and most of the 

dams in the northern half of 

San Diego County. It 

remi nded my of some of my 

flights in Korea in 1954-5 

although the pilot this time 

was a 1,000 times more 

competent. 

The 9-1-1 Emergency System 

and You. 

De KC6BJM 

The 9 1-1 Emergency 

System was adopted by ATT on 

January 12, 1968 as a 

nationwide standard for 

emergency telephone service. 

In 1972 California Assembly 

Bill AB 515 r e qui red 

implementation of 9-1 1 

throughout the State. 

How does the 9-1-1 system 

work? When you call 9-1-1, 

FEB'92 

from your home, your call 

goes to your phone exchange 

Central Office (CO) where it 

is then routed through a 

special trunk line to the 

Emergency Switching System 

(ESS). Upon arriving at the 

ESS it goes to your 

geographic area Public 

Safety Answering Point 

(PSAP). When answered at the 

PSAP your address and phone 

number appear on a video 

screen. If you have a 

business you may have your 

business name appear on the 

screen also. Ham operators 

that use the autopatch for 

9-1-1 access to report an 

emergency have a dis p 1 a y 

that gives the address of 

the hard line phone location 

and reads, Ham Station 

Relay so the PSAP operator 

knows the call is from a 

mobile radio. All calls to 

9-1-1 are answered, 9-1-1 or 

9-1 1 emergency. ~ must 

then tell the operator the 

nature of your call, • I want 

to report an accident, I 

need the sheriff/police, I 

need paramedics or I want to 

report a fire". ~ must 

then give the operator your 

location so he/she may route 

your call to the proper 

agency. 

When using the autopatch 

remember your location is 

not where the incoming call 

is coming from. You may be 

in Ramona making your call 

and the autopatch line is in 

Vista. The Sheriff wi 11 

receive your call at the 

Communication Center on the 

9-1-1 line. You may want to 

report a fire in Ramona, be 

~ you tell the operator 

you are in Ramona and the 

location of the fire. ~ 

on the air and answer all 

questions until the operator 

lQts you go. 

All autopatch lines are 

hard wired to a specific 

location. If you calIon an 

autopatch that is hard wired 

in Vista your call will go 

SCOPE-FEB'92 

CLUB MTG WED FEB 5th, 1930Hr, LINCOLN MID.SCHooL 

Pg. 9

FEB'92 

to the Sheriff's 

Communication Center, if you 

calIon an autopatch line 

that is hard wired in La 

Mesa your call will go to 

the La Mesa Communication 

Center and if you calIon an 

autopatch that is hard wired 

in San Diego it will go to 

the San Diego Communication 

Center. 9-1-1 calls ~ not 

answered at one centra I 

location in the county, but 

go to the geographic area 

where the phone line is 

wired. 

All 9-1-1 calls from 

Cellular telephone users, 

mobile or hand held, go the 

California Highway Patrol 

(CHP) and routed to the 

proper agency from there. 

Remember to stay on the air 

until released by the CHP 

operator. 9-1-1 calls from 

Cellular telephones are 

FREE. 

Do not call the phone 

company operator to report a 

9-1-1 emergency. The phone 

company operator can not 

dial 9-1-1 for you. 

Stations using the 

autopatch for 9-1-1 calls 

may prolong the autopatch 

timer by depressing the °A" 

key on your TTP for 1/2 

second every two minutes 

during your transmission to 

the 9-1-1 operator. In this 

way you will not "time out" 

during your emergency call. 

This feature only works. 

for 9-1-1 emergency calls. ' 

Gerry Sanford, KC6BJM, 

who wrote the artical on 911 

is the club's liaison with 

the 911 Emergency System. He 

was able to get all of the 

PARC autopatches to pop up 

on the emergency screens 

with HAM STATION RELAY along 

with the WA6IPD autopatch. 

Gerry is a Deputy 

Officer of RACES for S.D.Co. 

A Kenwood letter 

dated 12-13-91 announces a 

new program called Denwood 

K.I.D.S. They would like to 

have you co-sponsor a local 

school, scout troop, or 

youth group. Kenwood would 

provide the educational 

materials and prizes. Each 

new hmn sponsored under the

gift certificate fram 

Kenwood and for every ten 

Kenwood Kids licensed the 

club would receive a $25 

gift certificate. 

All clubs that 

sponsor at least one group 

of ten Kenwood Kids by March 

1, 1992 will be entered in a 

drawing for a Kenwood TS 

950SD, their top of the line 

transceiver. Each of the 

youth groups with ten or 

more new members will have a 

chance to win one of ten 

complete stations; consisting 

of a TS-140S transceiver, 

PS-420 power supply, 

AT-250 antenna tuner, and 

MC-60A microphone. 

Kenwood would send 

you a K.I.D.S. package 

containing: 10 copies of 

"Now You're Talking", copy 

of ARRL Novice/Tech Instructor's 

Guide, certificate for 

1 copy of Kenwood's Ham 

Windows software, program 

outline and pramotional 

materials, and gift 

certificates. 

If you are interested 

in this progrmn for a local 

school, contact PARe ASAP 

for application frams and 

additional infonnation. 

The young hmn net 

meets each Saturday evening 

at 7:30pm on 147.130 

(KA6UAI). Third part 

checks-ins for youngsters 

who might be interested in 

amateur radio are encouraged. 

Chris-KC6QOJ and

The Amateur Radio 

Relay League (ARRL) has put 

together a school affiliation 

kit: sample constitution, 

general information, 

subscription to ARRL Field 

Form, access to ARRL 

videotape library, etc, and 

a free HANDBOOK. If you 

know of anyone or any school 

group who is interested,@), 

please contact the ARRL. :#1 

Dave-WB9RKN reports ,. 

that in a recent AMSAT 

Journal that W6NWG placed #3 

in the united states in the 

AMSAT Field Day Satellite 

competition which goes great 

with our #1 in Class 5A and 

#6 out of all classes. Many 

thanks to Paul-KB5MU, Roy 

WB9RKN, Butch-KC6VEE, and 

others for their great FD 

efforts. Without them we 

would certainly not have 

been #1 in class SA. 

N4IFD scored 848 

points for 2nd place and the 

North Shores ARC in San 

Diego, K6HAI, was #1 with 

960 points and received the 

AMSAT plaque. We understand 

that North Shores club has 

had a lot of practice in 

setting up portable 

Satellite stations for Field 

Days and demonstrations and 

had most of the bugs worked 

out of their station before 

the contest. They worked 

most of the satellites while 

W6NWG only worked a couple 

of the birds. We were also 

hindered with I-210m 

stations blocking out the 

10m band I imi ting its use 

for satellite conmunications. 

As mentioned before, 

it was a group effort: 

Novices/Tech, SSB (Phone), 

OW (Morse code), and 

satellite. Everyone needs 

to be complimented for their 

extrodinary effort which 

resulted in the best showing 


for W6NWG we have ever had. 

While your editor did 

not hear any "wait till next 

year remarks" after this 

last Field Day, he has 

recently been hearing some 

rumblings which indicate 

that something is being 

done. A used 40m beam is 

being bought in anticipation 

of that "Mother of all Field 

Days." Dennis-N6KI spotted 

the beam, xyx, and Harry 

WA6Yoo, our new club 

president, picked it up and 

delivered it to Stan-W9FQN 

to be included with our 

Field Day equipment. WAIT 

TILL NEXT YEAR!

The February 5th program 

was a slide show by 

Mike Fulcher-KC7V, who is a 

good CW operator, on his 

recent DXpedition to Mongolia. 

It was interesting 

to note that Mike was in 

Moscow several days after 

the Coup and just missed 

John-WB6IQS who was there 

during the Coup. Mike's 

slides of Mongolia were 

quite interesting with 

excellent scenery and ham 

radio shots. We will be 

looking forward to his next 

DXpedition. Mike's father 

is club member Chuck-KE6SE.

TECHNICAL: John K. WB6IQS 

AUTOPATCH: Jerry H. WB6FMr 

450 RPTR: Mike D. KC6KCQ 

SITE OPS: Stan R. W9FQN 

The NEW 439.050 PACKET 

NODE, W6NWG-2, part of the 

San Diego Metro Net, is being 

placed in the PARC 

bunker as a "relay" from our 

145.050, 1200 baud packet 

NODE, W6NWG-1, to South 

County at 9600 baud. We 

hope that this will "free 

up" more time for you to 

enter 145.050 since 145.050 

will be "dumping" much of 

its traffic 8x faster to the 

high speed packet machine 

allowing more 145.050 

listening time for incoming 

packets. 

UPDATE 449.425: The new 

450 repeater is moving along 

fine. Jerry has opened up 

the Motorola transceiver and 

thinks it can be split to 

make a receiver and transmitter 

operating at the same 

time which is needed for repeater 

operation. Jerry and 

John-WB6IQS have given Mike 

KC6KCQ, the 450 project 

engineer, some of the parts 

needed for the repeater. 

John has ordered channel 

elements (crystals). We 

hope to have the new repeater 

up on the hill before 

June 1st. The new repeater 

will have autopatch connections, 

linking, and we hope, 

have fewer problems. 

The SANDRA 146.265 

repeater is now PL'd with 

107.2. 


new 3-6 TONE encoded 

SQUELCH, you need to identify 

your station when you 

make a call and also stay 

away from our autopatch (repeater 

selection) code 

numbers. Those numbers 

cannot be used in your calling 

code. Permissable 

numbers that can be used in 

any combination are: 0, 3, 

5, 6, 8, and 9 

The club has 4-5 repeater 

and linking PROJECTS 

that we could be woking on 

if only members would step 

forward to act as project 

engineers. One project 

deals with the new touch 

tone activated squelch which 

many of the new transceivers 

have built into them. 

During the comnute 

hours 146.73 seems the 

MAR' 92 

busiest and also during the 

8-9:30pm slot in the evenlng. 

The rest of the time 

147.13 seems the busiest. 

Our .73 machine seems to 

have more technical discussions 

while .13 has more 

chit-chat, XYL's (wives), 

and younger or newer hams. 

I t a Iso has more "night 

owls. " 


reminded that during the 

commute hours of 6-8am and 

4-6pm that the repeaters are 

used mainly by mobiles and 

that "base" stations should 

refrain from contacts with 

other base stations during 

these time slots. It is 

nice to have a base station 

available during these times 

to help with emergencies but 

with our autopatches this is 

not as important as it used 

to be. 

############################ 

AUTO PATCHES 

############################ 

AUTOPATCH STATUS: The 

autopatches on 146.175, 

146.730, and 147.130 are 

functioning properly. There 

appears to be a problem with 

the audio interface between 

the 449.425 repeater and the 

autopatch system which we 

hope to get fixed as soon as 

we can get to the mountain 

although we suspect that the 

problem is with the 449.425 

repeater which is going to 

be replaced this Spring. 

Prefix 390 will be added to 

the lower third and 748 has 

been added to middle third 

along with 970-1-2-3-4-5-7 

9. Make these corrections 

to the list provided to each 

club member (Dec'91 SCOPE) 

or to the handout you 

requested. A total of 99.8% 

of the prefixes (426) in 

S.D. Co. aan be reached, if 

you have a Q5 signal into 

our repeaters. HT's are not 

noted for Q5 signals! A new

list will be published next 

month. 

During rains the VISTA 

autopatch connection is 

marginal because it is 

located behind the San 

Marcos mountains and signal 

absorption by rain reduces 

the signal strength even 

further. Military radar 

could also cause interference 

problems although we 

have not noticed anything so 

far. We hope that we will 

be able to improve the radio 

circuit sometime this 

Spring. Also, the VISTA 

connection was "turned off" 

for several hours on the 

afternoon of February 7th 

because of some testing being 

done and then we forgot 

to turn it back on when the 

tests were finished •• sorry. 

The repeater access 

codes are on your address 

label although new members 

should probably request an 

autopatch information sheet 

by sending a Self Addressed

Ralph-KC6WAN has 

consented to take l2: 

KB6NMK's position as 

membership chairman and it 

appears that he will also be 

taking Bill-N6COU's job with 

the GIANT COMPUTER. Ralph 

would like to have you help 

him by paying your next 

years dues early and to 

always pay by check. Also 

consider paying for 2-3 

years at a time since $12/yr 

is only $24 for two years 

which is still not much 

money and reduces Ralph's 

work in half. And with 

about 492 members that is a 

real saving in time ••500, 

here we come! Please send 

all address changes to Ralph 

thru the club's Vista PO Box 

73. 

Club membership 

continues to climb reaching 

492 on February 21st. 

Thanks to all of you who 

invite others to join the 

club during your repeater or 

other contacts. The club's 

overhead remains about the 

srune and more members means 

more support for club 

activities. Who will be 

number **500**? 

On page 11 of this 

SCOPE you will find a copy 

ot the PARC brochure which 

the club has been handing 

out in various ways. This 

~ ~It=~",.... 

is a reduced copy showing 

both front and back sides of 

the brochure. If you would 

like a handful of these to 

post on bulletin boards, 

local libraries, Radio Shack 

stores, etc., come to the 

one of the next meetings and 

pick up what you think you 

can use. 

We have noticed lately 

that only about 50% of those 

using our repeaters are club 

members and we would hope 

that club members would feel 

free to invite non club 

members to join the club. 

If you use club facilities, 

you should feel an 

obI igat ion to support the 

club.

Larry-KC6PEN needs alternate 

net controls for the 

Thursday evening HA~ HELP 

NET at 9pm. It would be 

good if you had a good 

general HAM background 

although it is not necessary 

since the net control tries 

to match up net "check-ins" 

who have ANSWERS to the 

QUESTIONS being asked. If 

you have a question on 

Amateur Radio (antennas, 

rigs, repair, repeaters, 

etc.), then bring it to the 

HAM HELP NET where the net 

discusses your problem and 

tries to provide you with 

answers. If you have a 

general HAM background, tune 

in to the net and see if you 

can provide answers to some 

of the questions being 

asked. 


in becoming a part of the 

8pm San Diego Co. Traffic 

Net (SDCTN), remember that 

you need to request EACH 

evening net control to add 

you to THEIR roster. Jo 

N6RVO is still looking for 

stations that can hit the 

146.850 repeater. 

The Palamar Amateur 

Radio Club supports the 

following nets with its 

repeaters located on Palamar 

Mountain. We will add 

additional nets if there is 

a demand for them by the 

amateur community. How 

about a Spanish net the

The February 5th program 

was Mike-KC6KCQ talking 

on how to set up a ham 

station, Carl-N6WLX speaking 

on mobile installations, and 

Dennis-N6KI completing the 

talks with when, how, and 

where to get the best deals 

on equipment. The "hand 

outs", humor, and "fine

by all.

counting.

brought birthday cup cakes. 

Barbara-KD6ECD, from Palomar

goodies. The goodie table 

always needs goodies so 

consider bringing something 

next meeting. If you don't, 

who will1 



will be a 15min lecture by 

Art-KC6UQH touching on 

antennas, matching, coax 

line, VSWR, circuit boards, 

etc. to be followed by 30 

minutes of demonstrations on 

soldering-desoldering of 

circuit boards (KC6PEN), 

connecting coax cable 

connectors (WB6IQS), and 

construction of simple 

VHF/UHF antennas KD6EBY-Dave.

importance is the 

realization that all of 

us have the right to 

enjoy our hobby to the 

fullest without 

stepping on the rights 

of others. How do we 

accomplish this? The 

word is courtesy, the 

"grease" 

that 

lubricates the wheels 

of society. If one is 

courteous in all that 

one does, it is amazing 

what a pleasant world 

it can be. 

Suppose you can't stand 

swap nets (for whatever 

reason). That's 

perfectly OK; however, 

your dislike of them 

does not entitle you to 

belittle those who 

utilize them. Suppose 

you don't like OXing 

(again for whatever 

reason). That's OK 

too, but again your 

dislike does not 

entitle you to

Dave-KD6EBY for helping 

Mike-KC6KCQ on the new 

449.425 repeater. Dave has 

been acting as a "runner" to 

pick up things that Mike 

needs: parts, cabinet, etc. 

Dave also lives and works on 

Palomar Mountain. 

Also Carl-N6NZX and 

Mary-KB6NZA picked up some 

chips which Mike needed for 

the 450 repeater. 

Nash-W6HCD for some 2x6 

boards for battery bracing 

in the club's 3,300 Amp Hour

Benton, KK6LX, for the 

making of wood and plastic 

brochure boxes to be placed 

at various locations 

throughout the County. 

Orlando, N6QVW, for the 

two crank handles which he 

made up for the two towers 

given to us by radio station

Billy J. McCord, WB6TBQ 

died February 29th. He was 

71 having been born in 

Indianola, Iowa, in 1920. 

Billy was a self-employed 

accountant for 25 years, a 

World War II U.S. Army 

veteran, and Secretary of 

the Palomar Amateur Radio 

Club for four years ending 

the year that I became 

president in 1985. Billy 

suffered a heart attack in 

January which left him in a 

weakend condition ending in 

sucoming to phenonia. It 

~was rumored that Billy had 

several speeding tickets for 

the operation of his wheel 

chair. 

Dee-N6ELP lost her 

husband, John, also an 

amateur radio operator, on 

December 30th. The original 

notice which was to be in 

the February SCOPE was lost 

in the big computer crash 

and it was only this month 

in looking through some old 

notes that I realized that 

the notice had never been 

printed. John was active in 

Sam's Radio Hams, and an RV 

group. Dee is still active 

in Animal Rescue, ARES and 

RACES for North and Central 

S.D.Co. 

The club has also had 

had a recent rash of

among the spouses of our 

club members and we wish 

them all good 

days to come.

feels that rather than spend 

a lot of time on an old

"hard to find" intermittent 

problem that we should 

concentrate on the new 

449.425 machine. With help 

from Jerry-WB6FMT they think 

that they have now narrowed 

the problem down to two 

transistor stages. 

Mike-KC6KCQ now thinks 

that the new 449.425

AUTOPATCH STATUS: The 

autopatches on 146.175, 

146.730, and 147.130 are 

functioning properly. 

Prefix 390 has been added to 

the lower third autopatch. 

The 449.425 patch will be 

connected to the new 450 

repeater around April 15th 

if all goes well. 

Be sure to inform the 

people that you call most 

often that their telephone

instruct them not to bring

WORK PARTIES 

############################ 

(3-2) John-WB6IQS went 

solo to the mountain to work 

on the 449.425 repeater 

which has had audio problems 

so bad that most of the time 

the new autopatch has not 

been working properly with 

the 449.425 repeater. When 

John left the mountain after 

replacing quite a few parts 

everything was working 

properly •• including its 

autopatch. The new repeater 

should solve some of our 

proplems with this repeater. 

(P.S. Next day the repeater 

came back with its bad audio 

and no patch!) 

On the way home John 

stopped at Stan-W9FQN's QTH

but will not notify us about 

it until the new system is 

on line.

FEDERAl COMMUNICATIONS CoMMISSION 

FEll OPeAATONS BUREAu 

January 30, 1992 

The FCC has become increasinqly concerned about the misuse of VIIi' lIBrine 

radios by recreational vessel radlo operators. At risk is the uar:ine rad:io 

user'S ability to co_nicate effectively durinq an actual emergency. The 

ComaUssion bas noted the followinq problem areas that \IlISt be corrected by 

lIIIIrine radio users: 

* Make sure your radio system on your vessel is licensed. All uarine radjj: 

transceivers on board your vessel IIIISt be licenSed by the rc:c. Fa: FO[1ll 

S06 mst be completed am submit.ted to the Fa: to obta.in a SIJjp Radio 

Station lXense. 

* Use your radio call-sign ass.iijned to your vessel IDr .identi£ic:ation. 

Your FCC call-sign identifies you am your vessel. call-silgns IIIISt he 

used at the beqinn.inq am end of your tran&llllsslons. 

* Channel 16 is both a "callinq" (mak.inq contact with another vessel) am 

a "distress· (emerqency) channel. When call.inq another vessel make sure 

you immediately switch to another channel Ie.q. channels 9, 68, 69, 71, 

781. Any other use of Channel 16 is prohi:lited. Channel 72 may be 

used as a sh.ip to sh.ip channel only. 

The U.S. Coast Guard OJS:G1 reports that lIBIly vessels do not switch 

to another channel after establishing contact on channel 16. This 

practice endanqers the lives of persons .in l.ifi! threaten:ing emergen 

cies. Another COlllllXl prtlblem is open mlcrq:>hcne.s ~rsons who use 

the radio and leave their transmit key depressed on their lllicro 

phonel. Open microphones can also be life threaten.inq since they 

block emergency camun:ications by the Us::G and others .involved in 

respcn:l.inq to the emergencies. 

*' When the USCG advises radjo silen=e, please COIIllly. Radio silen=e 

indiCates that the USCG is working on an emerqerlcy and they need 

channel 16 clear for COllllUl'l:icat.ions with the vessel in distress. 

* Do not use your VIIi' uarine radio mr :idle chit-chllt or personal 

messages. Instead, either place a teJepbClne call through the uar.ine 

radio operator or use an alternative radjo service Ie.g. cellular 

telephone, CD radio, etc.). 

* Channel usage; various VIP channels are used for diftlerent purposes. 

The FCC has available to the public a lIIIIr:ine decal that can be affixed 

near your marine radlo wlrich lists the VIP uar.ine cbIInnels am ezpla.inS 

their authori2led use. In additXln, the decal also provides tlstlUCtioos 

for emergency procedures (establishing a distress caJll. 

* Do not llllite radjo checks on Channel 16 with the Us::G. Radlo check

hiblted. The Us::G has stated they will not answer reqJests mr radjo 

checks. They also recoomend that you ca1duct radio checks on a 

channel other than channel 16 with any vessel in the area.

Come early to our meetings 

and see if you can get some 


Questions answered before 

:ne meeeting. 


The April 1st program 

was a lecture on feedlines, 

antennas, and circuits by 

our club VP, Art-KC6UQH. He 

was assisted by John-WB6IQS 

showing sample coax and how 

not to solder coax connectors; 

Dave-KD6EBY from Palomar 

Mt. showing voltage and 

curent nodes on various 

antennas using a 20w 

transmitter, a neon bulb, 

and a current loop (#49 

blub); and Larry-KC6PEN 

(just turned Extra!!) showing 

some circuit boards 

along with comments on good 

and bad soldering. A good 

time was had by all even if 

it was raining ••and 

Escondido had 4' (yes K6HAV, 

4 feet) of water. 

Dennis-N6KI again had a 

table of ~ hard to get 

items with 10% going to the 

ciub. If you have something 

for sale, bring it in with 

your call and asking price. 

Dennis for SHOW and TELL had 

a prop pitch motor which is 

going to be used to turn his 

house (with beam attached). 



With several of our 

PARC members in Japan, it 

was nice having a visitor 

from Kobe, Japan, Kazutoshi 

Anpo. He is staying with 

Larry-KC6PEN and his wife, 

Kay, in Oceanside. 


PEN and Kay, again 


goodie table and Kay also 

brought in some delicious 

rice cakes. Barbara-KD6ECD, 

from Palomar Mountain, again 

brought in goodies. Others 

bringing in items were 

KC6ECD, 

KC6WAN 

N6QVW, KC6QBD, and 

with REAL COOKIES 

this time. The goodie table 

always needs goodies so 

consider bringing something 

next meeting. If you don't, 

who will? 

Missed recognizing 

Grant-W60DU, Vic-N60YG, 

Mark-KC6ZRV, Larry-KC6PEN, 

and Ralph-KC6WAN for bringing 

in goodies for the April 

meeting although we wonder 

why Ralph brought in only a 

box of cookie mix. Probably 

because of the pretty 

pictures of cookies on the 

outside of the box. 

the struc:turing of the 

c:lub's existing 

Constitution and By 

Laws, he volunteered 

his legal skills to 

researc:h the problem, 

determine a possible 

solution, and make 

rec:ommendations to the 

appropriate people. 

This meant gOing to a 

law library, reading 

many, many pages of

RECOGNITION 

Nash-W6HCD would like 

to thank all those who 

brought him glasses for use 

at the Tecate Eye Clinic: 

Bernice-N6WQR, Dee-N6ELP, 

and RoseMarie-WB6SEU. The 

glasses are measured 

(diopters) and stocked by 

their diopter number. The 

clinic doctors prescribe 

glasses and a near match is 

made from stock. You really 

should go along sometime and 

help Nash with this project. 

Its really great to see the 

smile on someone's face with 

vision problems who can now 

see clearly again. 

Rusty-AA60M, Darren 

KC6TYQ, Harry-WA6YOO, and 

John-WB6IQS for quickly taking 

advantage of a boat and 

trailer offer made to the 

club. Everything was moved 

on Rusty's flatbed trailer. 

Now W6NWG can check into the 

Sunday morning Sailor's net. 

Jack-KI6JM for riding 

shotgun with Stan-W9FQN to 

remove the 2m xcvr from the 

car of former member Bill

Bryan Selle-WB6TJN for 

the donation of 35 power 

supplies (+15, -15, +12, 

12, +5, -5VDC, etc). Bryan 

works for Xentek in Vista. 

The supplies will be used in 

club projects and some of 

them will be sold to 

generate cash for other

From time to time I am 

asked to give talks to 

various organizations 

throughout the county. On 

April 13th I gave a talk to 

the Valley Center Rotary 

describing amateur radio, 

our repeater system, and our 

participation in emergencies. 

My next talk will be 

to the Ramona Outback 

Amateur Radio Society on May 

27th covering the Palomar 

Amateur Radio Club, our 

activities, and pARC's 

repeater system. 

The page of club member's 

calls last month will 

have to hold you till we can 

run a full roster with 

calls, names, phone Us, and 

addresses. If some of your 

friends that you talk to on 

the repeaters are not on 

last months list, be sure to 

invite them to support the 

club and "pay for" some of 

the electricity they are 

using. The usual excuse is 

that it is too far for them 

to come to club meetings

too far from them to use!

Remember, 147.13 is part of 

the PARC family of 

repeaters! 

I have not been on the 

repeaters much lately 

because my base rig was 

broadcasting on hundreds of 

other frequencies at the 

same time I was on 146.730 

and I have not yet found the 

problem. Also I have not 

been conducting the 

Wednesday evening code net 

for the same reason plus we 

lost control of the 146.730 

time out timer and I can't 

turn it off for the code 

sessions. The last problem 

should be corrected by the 

end of April.

NEWS 

All repeaters will 

probably we turned off 

Sunday, April 3rd, from llam 

to about 4pm because of work 

being done of the 80' tower. 

The time-out timers on 

three of our repeaters are 

set to kill the repeater if 

you talk to long. Why? 

Well, besides the FCC 

reasons, PARC believes that 

you should keep your transmiss 

'ions short to allow 

more members and emergency 

traffic to break into the 

conversations during busy 

periods of the day. If you 

were allowed to talk for 

five minutes, then emergency 

traffic could be up to five 

minutes away from being 

recognized if the group did 

not FAST KEY. Also with 

five amateurs talking for 

five minutes each it would 

take 20 minutes to get back 

to the first person talking 

with five in the group. 

Doing a RESET during 

your conversation IS CHEAT 

ING and SHOULD NOT BE DONE 

unless you are on a net running 

low power and allow the 

repeater to completely "drop 

out" after announcing a 

"reset." The morning group 

on 146.730 is especially bad 

with "time outs" and doing 

announced and un-announced 

RESETS. There are several 

ways that PARC can express 

its dissatisfaction with 

these TIMEOUTS and RESETS. 

Calling your attention 

to the problem in the SCOPE 

possibly will take care of 

the problem. If not, then 

we have to go to plan #2. 

If you use TONE ENCODED 

SQUELCH, remember to use the 

words "(your call) TONE 

ACCESS", and then your TT 

codes. This is similar to 

the autopatch where you say 

"(your call) MOBILE ACCESS 

PATCH" , and t hen your TT 

telephone codes. Remember 

to stay clear of the digits 

1, 2, 4, and 7 in all of 

your codes. If this is not 

done, we will consider 

blanking out ALL T-tones 

over our repeaters although 

your patch codes will reach 

the autopatch system even 

though no one else can hear 

them. 

During this past year 

the club has bought parts to 

make SIX repeaters or their 

equivalent. Jerry-WB6FMT 

has put together four of 

them for the autopatch 

project. John-WB6IQS 

another one for the 439.05 

high speed packet project 

and Mike-KC6KCQ is has now 

finished the new 449.425 

repeater which we really 

think is going to be a great 

repeater installation for 

those of you with the new 

dual band HTs or mobile 

units. 

It really is nice 

having such tallented club 

members devoting time to 

these projects. If you 

would like to help with some 

of our future projects, 

please contact me (W9FQN) to 

get your name on the list 

for new projects. We have 

4-5 things presently on our 

POSSIBILITY list. Check 

with me to see if we have 

something that might be of 

interest to you. 

PARC usually builds our 

repeaters from Motorola 

transceivers which are 

bought cheaply although 

years ago we did buy the 

Motorola 146.730 for about 

$850. Usually everything is 

made from "surplus" equipment 

and "hand wired" boards 

except for the MFJ packet 

TNCs.

three times lately ••but 

fortunately not about any of 

our club members. You need 

to be reminded that the FCC 

does monitor so please 

••please conduct yourself as 

if they are monitoring EVERY 

transmission that you ma~ 

One of the things that 

the FCC looks for is 

BUSINESS communications 

••and several of our members 

really look bad sometimes 

••the other evening two 

amateurs were talking about 

what appeared to be definite 

business communications and 

it was only near the end 

that it was mentioned that 

they were talking about ARES 

meetings and ARES members. 

Don't talk business over the 

air or talk about something 

that sounds like business 

without making it known to 

those that are listening 

(FCC? & PARC?) that it is 

not business communications. 

The Palomar ARC has 

prided itself that we have 

some of the best operators 

in the amateur community and 

we would like to keep it 

that way. With the large 

number of new hams and new 

club members we need to keep 

reminding you of what you 

should and should not be 

doing on our repeaters and 

in the use of our autopatches. 

Much of what we 

preach is nothing more than 

common sense. Please do not 

feel offended when a club 

member talks to you about 

something that you could be 

doing wrong. Rather than 

argue about it, follow the 

suggestion until you have 

talked to a club officer or 

suggested "rules of conduct" 

sometimes are more restrictive 

than required by the 

FCC ••but then we have 

always been that way •• and 

we don't always succeed. 


reminded that during the 

commute hours of 6-8am and 

4-6pm that the repeaters are 

used mainly by mobiles and 

that "base" stations should 

probably refrain from 

contacts with other base 

stations during these time 

slots. It is nice to have a 

base station available during 

these times to help with 

emergencies but with our 

autopatches this is not as 

important as it used to be. 

AUTO PATCHES 

AUTOPATCR STATUS 

146.175 & 146.730: Normal 

147.130: Low audio 

449.425: Normal 

Jerry-WB6FMT has removed 

the old tape recorder 

from the autopatch monitor 

and has replaced it with a 

11/16 ips stereo tape deck 

loaned to the club by John 

WB6IQS. One channel carries 

the patch audio and the 

other channel is stamped 

with the date and time of 

the calls using a Radio 

Shack talking time clock. 

If the FCC contacts us about 

any call, we will have 

everything needed for their 

investigation. 

Jerry has installed the 

Vista patch (pwr sup, RF 

filters, batteries, xmtr, 

rcvr, and T-tone computer) 

into a cabinet. The VSTA 

patch is the first one to be 

boxed up with emergency 

power installed. The MMSA 

and LMSA patches will follow 

several hours while these 

modifications are being made 

some Saturday or Sunday 

afternoon. 

The following is a list 

of additional things that 

are on the agenda 

autopatches: 

I-turn OFF timer for 911

The most recent repeater 

access codes are on your 

address label although NEW 

MEMBERS should request an 



Stamped Envelope (SASE) and 

home phone to W9FQN (see 

Editor) since you need to 

know several additional 

things before using the 

autopatches. You DO NOT 

RAVE A PERSONAL CODE at this 

time. Only general codes. 

PARC members need to 

review PARC suggestions on 

the use of the autopatch 

system. So far about 1% of 

the calls being made have 

some problem and we feel 

that most of the errors are 

with some of our newer 

members. Autopatches are 

new to the club and it will 

probably take some time 

until everyone becomes 

familiar with how they are

to reject abused or improperly

We could have picked an

Mountain and probably saved 

ourselves some electronic 

equipment bills but we selected 

three entry points 

into the telephone system in 

case various sections of the 

telephone grid become inoperable 

during an emergency. 

Each autopatch center 

can be identified if you 

listen carefully after 

dialing the access code.

up immediately with a dial 

tone while the MMSA and LMSA 

delay with a "dit-dit-ditdit" 

sound before the dial

the difference between the 

MMSA and LMSA sounds.

they have been installed but

service accidentally. LMSA 

had the plug pulled when a 

garage was cleaned and again 

when one of the kids "turned 

off" the red light shinning 

in the garage! The MMSA 

patch could have had a local 

power failure for a short 

time and the VSTA patch was 

accidently left "off line" 

after a testing operation. 

The VSTA patch was off April 

2nd in the afternoon so it 

could be installed in a new 

rack with emergency battemries.

Ralph-KC6WAN would like 

to have everyone help him by 

paying your next years dues 

EARLY and to always pay by 

check. Also consider paying 

for 2-3 years at a time 

since $12/yr is only $24 for 

two years which is still not 

much money and reduces 

Ralph's work in half. And 

with over 500 members that 

is a real saving in time. 

Please send all address 

changes to Ralph thru the 

club's Vista PO Box 73, 

Vista, CA 92085-0073. Tnx 

to Ralph-K6HAV and Pat-N6INN 

for the "73 Box" number that 

they used to have before 

going to Japan. 

Ralph-KC6WAN has also 

made some changes in the 

program which prints out the 

club's labels resulting in 

more information as to where 

the SCOPEs are being sent. 

This is a great help to 

W9FQN who has to fill out 

all of the reams of paperwork

~ Scottie-KH6TL Director

Scottie-KH6TL of EVAC 

has just announced that Bud 

Lincoln, KG6VX, has been 

appointed Deputy Communications 

Director for EVAC. 

Bud's phone number is 436 

9983. EVAC stands for Emergency 

Volunteer Air Corps. 

During emergencies they are 

able to use the airplanes at 

their disposal to fill in 

where ARES and AREC are not 

able to function. If you 

are interested in helping 

EVAC, please contact Scottie 

(727-8836) or Bud. They are 

especially interested in 

anyone who flies or is 

interested in Amateur Television 

(ATV). They also can 

use communicators for their 

comm centers and to fly with 

some of the pilots. 

They are able to move 

around the county to observe

As most of you already 

know there was a disaster 

drill held on April 9th. 

The results were positive 

and we put to good use the 

knowledge gained from the 

December 5th drill. One of 

the best things done was to 

have a temporary net 

control, Stan-W9FQN, take 

check-ins on 146.730 while 

amateurs moved to their 

assigned places leaving the 

RACES repeater, 147.175, 

available for RACES operations. 

At first missions were 

only simulated due to bad 

weather but when the weather 


lifted three flights were 

flown from Palomar and 

Fallbrook and one video tape 

was quite good. 

At EOC EVAC operations 

were observed by Admiral 

Bruce Boland, SDCo. Deputy 

Chief Administrative Officer 

and Carl Smith, Aviation 

Consultant with the California 

Division of Aeronautics 

with both being 

favorably impressed.

get to fly will be first 

next time. 

EVAC plans on 

conducting "mini-drills" 

every three months and 

MAY'92 

possibly some surprise 

drills. 

Thanks also to the 

folks using the 146.730 

repeater for making it easy 

for us to communicate 

between your "short calls" 

and also your moving to

RECOGNITION 

Ted-KD6AKT for picking 

up a 6' repeater for the 

club complete with outdoor 

sealed cabinet at a cost of 

$5. We really appreciate 

club members keeping an eye 

out for bargains like this. 

Chuck-KE6SE and Sherry 

KC6RQW for again working on 

the PARC information brochures 

which are provided to 

local public places: Radio 

Shacks, HRO, libraries, and 

company bulletin boards. 

The brochure was created by 

Jo Ashley-KB6NMK. 

Ron-KM6MW for pausing 

for other hams to enter the 

8pm commute time slot on 

146.730. Ted-KD6AKT for 

doing the same during the 

7:30 commute slot. There 

are many hams listening and 

it is nice to pause every 

now and then to see if any 

of them would like to join 

your group. 

Tom-KC6ZVI for the 

donation to the club of disk 

drives, 3 keyboards, 2 pwr 

supplies, 3 monitors, etc. 

These will be used in club 

projects or taken to the 

local swap meet. 

At the last meeting 

someone donated 4-5 SAVVY PC 

instruction books and we 

would like to know who. If 

you are interested in these 

books, please contact W9FQN 

before the June meeting. 

Dennis-N6KI for providing 

ur editor with monthly 

copies of the NASA Tech 

Briefs ••they are always 

interesting reading. You 

can find these copies on the 

club FREE table at club 

meetings after I finish with 

them ••also for giving the 

club prices 

sales. 

on~estate 

E'ditor 

After reading the Bylaws 

prepared by Jack-KI6JM, 

I am convinced .that we 

should adopt them at the 

June club meeting as they 

presently stand before the 

new club year begins. 

Changes in the By-laws are 

easy enough to make and 

modifications that need to 

be made can be done later. 

I would hate to see the 

entire set of new Bylaws 

held up while we discuss 

several minor changes that 

might need to be made 

sometime in the future. 

On Friday, May 15th, at 

7:00am I gave a talk to 

employees of the Olivenhain 

water district at the 

request of Tim Farris, a new 

club member. We covered 

club activities in emergencies 

and how to become an 

amateur radio operator. My 

next talk will be with the 

ROARS Club in Ramona, May 

27th.

146.730 is still down

working again and linked to 

147.130. 

METRO LINK PACKET NODE, 

W6NWG-2: installed May 3rd 

and links the PARC 145.05 

packet machine down south at 

9600 baud rather than the 

normal 1,200 baud. Working 

but suspect signal levels 

can be improved between

antennas. 

449.425: new repeater 

working better than old

A-all repeaters except 

for WA6IPD, P-packet, 

K-147.130, and W=WA6IPD. 

Control operators very 

seldom shut down the 

repeaters other than for 

repairs being done at the 

site. The repeaters could 

be shut down for some of the 

following reasons although 

control operators are reluctant 

to turn off the 

repeaters since they might 

be needed for an emergency 

call: 

violation of FCC rules, ie. 


II 

---business, music the autopatch for a social but the telephone number 

---improper language, etc 

violation of PARC standards 

---SOUNDS like business 

---discussions that might 

invite jamming 

---improper use of rptr 

without permission 

improper use of autopatch 

---SOUNDS like business 

---avoiding phone charge 

---improper subjects(s) 

---making chit-chat calls 

---talking too long 

Don't be afraid to use 

call from your mobile or 

home station if it is a 

demonstration of amateur 

radio. Control operators 

sometimes make calls from 

their home stations to check 

on the autopatch system 

audio levels and access 

codes to see if there have 

been changes in the system. 

In the case of problem 

autopatches there is the 

possibility that nothing 

will be said to the amateur 

JUN'92 

being called could be removed 

from the approved 

listing of phone numbers 

WITHOUT notification. 

Control OPS are reluctant 

to sit in judgement of 

your calls but the club 

needs to be protected since 

the FCC is now assigning 

fines of up to $10,000 for 

not complying 

rules.

OPERATOR -WILL- SEE TO IT 

THAT YOUR ASSISTANT CONTROL 

STATUS IS REVOKED ALONG WITH 

ITS PRIVILEGES. You will 

receive no notification, 

only a patch that refuses to 

complete your calls. 

Control operators usually 

will not contact you over 

the air and only in rare 

cases over the phone about 

problems. You know the 

rules. 

We really have had 

almost no problems with the 

autopatch system so far or 

its use and we want to keep 

it that way. Our patches 

cover 2,000+ square miles of 

San Diego County and 99.9% 

of =all- phone numbers from 

high visibility repeaters in 

contrast to a local repeater 

serving a limited area. The 

FCC does monitor in SDCo and 

they can easily hear 

everything- and it is the 

club's intention to operate 

CLEAN autopatches. 

IN THE BEGINNING the 

autopatch computers were 

programmed with telephone 

lists given to us by the 

telephone company and we 

know that from time to time 

they do add telephone 

prefixes as their service 

expands. If you cannot find 

your prefix in the list 

prOVided, please let us know 

so that we can add it to our 

"allow" table for your area. 

Our computers have limited 

memory so in the beginning 

we only put in prefixes that 

we knew were in use. By the 

time the prefix list 

increases significantly we 

hope to have the giant 

computer in control of the 

autopatch system. 

In emergencies, it is 

possible for some control 

operators to make long 

distance phone calls, if 

needed. 

For some reason or 

another the MMSA patch was 

down for several hours on 

Wednesday, March 5th. We 

have had NO equipment 

failures on any of the three 

constructed patches since 

they have been installed but 

they have been put out of 

service accidentally. LMSA 

had the plug pulled when a 

garage was cleaned and again 

when one of the kids "turned 

off" the red light shinning 

in the garage! The MMSA 

patch could have had a local 

power failure for a short 

time and the VSTA patch was 

accidently left "off line" 

after a testing operation. 

The VSTA patch was off April 

2nd in the afternoon so it 

could be installed in a new 

rack with emergency batteries. 

The LMSA and MMSA 

patches will also be off the 

air some Saturday or Sunday 

in the near future (end of 

JUN'92 

Mayor the first two weeks 

in June) for addition of 

racks and emergency batteries 

which should complete 

our project of making them 

ready for emergencies ••or 

the BIG ONE. It is coming!

WORK PARTIES 

(4-12) John-WB6IQS 

worked on a receiver and 

discovered a poor oscillating 

crystal. Stan-W9FQN 

and Mike-KC6KCQ worked on 

the tower adjusting several 

antennas and checking for 

water in several runs of 

he1iax (coax). No water was 

found but they did discover 

4-5 cracks in a jumper. The 

control antenna was moved 

higher up the tower. Plans 

were made for the next work 

day where we will be installing 

a crankup tower and 

antennas. 

(4-25) 

installed a 

Mike-KC6KCQ 

receiver that 

John-WB6IQS repaired. 

(5-3) Mike, John, and 

Jerry-WB6FMT installed the 

SCOPE-JUN'92 


Pg. 7

JUN'92 

new 449.425 repeater which 

is much better than that old 

machine but does have some 

audio level problems which 

need to be corrected to 

increase deviation from 

2.9kc up to 4.5kc. Since 

there was not enough audio 

for the autopatch, it will 

be connected up later. 

Jerry also made some 

modifications in the autopatch 

center that needed to 

be made. 

Stan and Larry-KD6DCK 

worked at the 65' level 

replacing a dual band 2m 

70cm antenna which was used 

with the autopatch system 

with a 23' 70cm collinear 

for the new 449.425 

repeater. John then moved 

the autopatch system up to 

the old 4-bay 450 dipole 

antenna. 

Tom-KD6FKG moved an old 

450 beam so that it could be 

used with the new METRO-LINK 

high speed packet unit and 

started the repair of a 

control antenna. 

Kirk-KD6ADJ, from 

Torrey Pines H.S., helped 

Stan install a new 450 

antenna. Climbers not working 

on the tower served as 

"ground crew" and sent items 

up the tower with rope and 

pUlly. 

Paul-KB6MU worked on 

the new packet unit for the 

SD METRO SYSTEM and because 

of little activity on late 

Sunday afternoon was not 

able to find out how well 

eve~hing worked ••more 

later. 

The crankup tower was 

moved to the site and it 

will be installed when some 

metal clamps are fabricated 

to hold it in place next to 

the bunker. 

There were eight club 

members working at the site 

,with some arriving at lOam 

and some leaving at 6:45pm 

..and some doing both. It 

was a long day with Larry, 

Tom, Kirk, Mike, Jerry, 

John, Paul and Stan putting 

in over 70 hours of work. 

If you use the repeaters, 

you might consider putting 

in a few hours sometime 

working on that which gives 

you so much communication 

ability. 

(5-9) Paul-KB5MU and 

Stan left an overcast sky 

and drizzle and broke out 

into brilliant sunshine at 

4,000 to work at' the site. 

Paul replaced some coax 

cables, tuned a cavity, and 

modified a beam for the new 

450 packet link to South 

County. Stan climbed the 

tower several times to 

remove and install a 450 

beam for the San Diego 

packet METRO NET. 

(5-10) Mike-KC6KCQ 

visited the site to install 

the autopatch system on the 

new 449.425 repeater and to 

fix several audio problems. 

It appears as though audio 

distortion on marginal 

signals is due to desense of 

the receiver by the transmitter. 

Mike also installed 

another alarm system and 

hopes to install an additional 

one within weeks.

like FD. ARRL must have put

indicate how much time they

KZ6X was second in San Diego 

County including all stations

150 watts or less. "B" is 

150 watts or more.

LETTER FROM WB6IQS 

I had an interesting 

visit to the SARA (Suburban 

Amateur Repeater Association) 

of Chicago, IL, in 

April of this year. 

I was on company 

business to Underwriters 

Laboratories in Northbrook, 

and was talking on the 

146.88 local repeater. The 

SARA group had a dinner 

meeting that evening and I 

came as a visitor. 

The SARA group has a 2 

meter repeater with four 

remote voting receiver 

sites. The four satellite 

receivers are located around 

Chicago and a central 

transmitter is located on 

the north end of downtown 

Chicago. Their transmitter 

runs 350 watts to a 6 dB 

gain antenna for 1,500 watts 

of radiated power. They 

also support a 450 repeater 

system but I have no 

information on it. 

When I described our 

JUN'92 

repeater system they wished 

that they had a 5,600' 

antenna tower under their 

system. 

An autopatch system is 

available for members and/or 

emergencies but it is 

infrequently used. 

The most interesting 

thing to me was that they 

are also having corporation 

problems as their documents 

have to be improved to 

comply with the Illinois 

corporate codes. Their 

original documents need 

additional voting corrections 

and board changes to 

comply. The Illinois codes 

do not seem to be as severe 

as the California codes. At 

least their original and 

proposed changes don't have 

18 pages of close spaced 

type. 

The dues are 

substantially higher than 

Palomar's. They require a 

$10 initiation fee and $30 

per year. They have a bout 

320 members and they are 

exclusively a repeater 

organization. There are no 

plans for Field Days, 

contesting, etc. as the 

Palomar Club supports. 73, 

WB6IQS 

Art-K6XT, DXer and FD 

CW operator, now has his 

wife, KD6HFI, on the air 

joining the morning commute 

group. It sure is nice 

knowing where the other half 

is or that if they have 

troubles "out in the sticks" 

that they have a means of 

getting attention in case of 

problems. 

Ted-KD6AKT of the .730 

morning mobile group invites 

everyone to their lunch June 

13th at 12pm at the Flying 

Bridge restaurant N. on Hill 

St, Oceanside, before Harbour.

The April 1st program 

was an excellent program by 

Marvin Munster-WB6PKK, who 

used the Carlsbad Safety 

Center projection screen to 

show the video from his 

packet station. Marvin was 

able to show on the air 

contacts with several nodes, 

the commands issued, and how 

you can look up someone's 

age on the DX Packet cluster 

••howabout that N6UWW? 

We were pleased to see 

Art Smith, W6INI, former San 

Diego Section Manager 

(retired) who introduced 

John Fulton-WR6J from Ramona 

who' is one of the candidates 

for the San Diego Section 

Manager position. 

The membership voted on 

the club's new bylaws 

and they passed unanimously. 

This change of bylaws should 

meet the requirements of the 

"California Code" beginning 

at section 7110 and continuing 

for 145 pages. Our 

thanks again to Jack-KI6JM 

for the many hours of work 

he put in completing our new 

bylaws. There will be some 

superficial changes in names 

of things along with some 

minor additions which Jack 

will lead us through during 

the next two months. 

Dennis-N6KI again had a 

table with fttnk hard to find 

items with 10% going to the 

club. SHOW and TELL was 

omitted.

Are you getting tired 

of the garbage mouths who 

frequent the HF bands and 

the repeaters? Do the foul 

mouths who have IQs equal to 

their shoe size bug you? 

Would you like to do something 

about it? Well here 

is your chance. The Clean 

Air Petition, supported by 

many key people such as 

Senator Barry Goldwater, 

K6UGA, could force the FCC 

to take action to clean up 

the bands. An explanation 

of the petition and a copy 

thereof may be found elsewhere 

in this SCOPE. Sign 

it with three of your HAM 

friends and send it off to 

the address provided. For 

those of you who come to 

meetings, we will have one 

for all attenders to sign. 

Stop complaining and take 

some action! 

Field Day is just 

around the corner. There is 

plenty to be done throughout 

the fourth full weekend in 

June. Dennis, N6KI and 

Bill, WB6MCU have already 

put in many hours lining up 

and modifying gear, finding 

operators and helpers, and 

the host of other things 

needed to prepare. Get 

involved! 

Lastly, the local 

Amateur Radio Community has 

again been asked to provide 

assistance during the annual 

Miramar Air Show. If you 

want to participate in this 

event please contact Dan 

Beggs, KD6ASN, 14846 Espola 

Rd., Poway, CA 92064, or 

call him at 619-679-8502. 

Over 150 Ops are needed.

RECOGNITION 

Ralph-KC6WAN, our membership 

chairman, for the 

new sort program listing the 

club membership sorted by 

telephone number •• prefix or 

last four digits. Its a 

great help to W9FQN and 

WB6FMT in looking up 

telephone numbers being 

dialed on the autopatches. 

"Little Joe"-WB6HMY for 

the donation of a nice 1,000 

watt gas generator which the 

club has used in years past 

during Field Days. Little 

Joe has been hanging out on 

40m SSB talking to Dora 

Tuttle in Arizona mornings 

and also on the Fallbrook 

146.175 machine talking to 

another club member, Phil 

WF6L who has a school 

amateur radio club. The 

WA6IPD repeater has an autopatch 

covering all of north 

county above road 78 ••and a 

few other goodies. WB6HMY 

started the club's traffic 

net years ago and used to 

pick up rain reports from 

allover the county during 

and after storms for the 

weather bureau back during 

the days when we used to 

have RAIN. If you want to 

talk to an OT, try 

WB6HM( iii) on 147.175 around 

6:50-7:20am week day 

mornings. 

To someone for the 

donation of a reel of dual 

75 ohm shielded cable which 

can be used in computer runs 

••we shure would like to 

know who it was. 

Ron-KM6MW for mentioning 

the club program and 

time and place of our club 

meeting during the morning 

commute group. There are 

many amateurs listening who 

are not club members and 

don't know the time and 

place of our meetings. 

Mike-KC6KCg for finding 

a free "walk-in" freezer for 

us which can be used as 

repeater or storage 

building. It measures 7.5' 

x 7.5' x 6'h, metal outside, 

metal inside, insulated, 

lockable door, and looks 

great. Now all we have to 

do is move it to the site 

(moved) and we think that 

might turn out to be a big 

problem (it wasn't). On the 

negative side, we will have 

to instruct people taller 

than 6' tall about the low 

ceiling (will fix that). It 

is large enough to hold 

seven repeaters and with all 

of that steel inside and 

JUL'92 

outSide, it should shed 

lightning and electromagnetic 

pulses (EMPs) quite 

well. Mike is just 

finishing up the final 

adjustments on the new 

449.425 repeater and has 

indicated a possible interest 

in another project 

sometime soon. (the FREE 

stuff always ends up costing 

the club money - Ed) 

- E D ITO R 

The CLEAN AIR petition 

on the following pages 

deserves your attention. 

Try to pick up some non-club 

members to sign the rest of 

the spaces and then send it 

to the address on the 

petition. There are now 

(again) several repeaters in 

the San Diego Co. area that 

fit the thrust of this 

petition and we would like 

to have you send to PARC 

(Attention: Community Standards) 

the frequencies of 

these repeaters as heard 

from your QTH. One of the 

repeater groups in San Diego 

did an excellent job of 

cleaning up one of their 

repeaters a few years ago. 

A few publicised FCC fines 

of $1,000 to $10,000 would 

go a long way towards 

cleaning up a few repeaters 

and some of the HF bands 

although we realize that the 

FCC is limited by the 

Constitution and court 

rulings. This is why we 

need to establish COMMUNITY 

STANDARDS since that seems 

to carry a lot of weight 

with the courts •••and the 

FCC. The COMMUNITY 

STANDARDS in San Diego 

County should be set high. 

SCOPE SUBSCRIPTION RATE 

CHANGED FOR SUBSCRIBERS

The Board of Directors

JUL'92 

$12 dues for the club 

newsletter, the SCOPE, 

although the actual cost of 

production and mailing runs 

about $5.64/yr for a 12 page 

issue. Advertising in the 

SCOPE reduces the cost per 

member but the reduction 

decreases per member as the 

membership grows since 

advertising per issue has 

remained constant. The club 

has been allowing interested 

persons outside of San Diego

SCOPE at the $3.00 rate 

which has been changed to 

$4/year starting August 1st,

Violations ofthese regulations hintkr and impede future growth in tht Service. especioJly

Art McBride-KC6UQH. YP and program 

chairman. has announced that 

the next club meeting will again be 

at the Carlsbad Safety Center. The 

program will be Fried Heyn. WA6WZO 

(talk and video). our ARRL South 

West Division Director. and by John 

Klien speaking on ARES and RACES. 

John-N6URW. Ron-KM6MW. and 

Phil-KC6TYT of RACES will hold an 

open house at 7pm for the RACES/ARES 

station across the hall from the 

meeting room. Be sure to check out 

the station since you might be 

requested to help man the station 

during emergencies. 

The Carlsbad Safety Center 

(CSC) as a meeting place has the 

advantage of holding over 150 people 

with good facilities while 90-100 is 

about the limit for the Lincoln 

Middle School (LMS). At present it 

seems as though we draw larger 

crowds at CSC compared to LMS but 

that could be due to the programs 

selected. Smoking is allowed outside 

the CSC but is not allowed anyplace 

on LMS grounds. 

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SEPTEMBER 

MEETING WILL BE HELD SEPTEMBER 9th. 

THE SECOND WEDNESDAY IN THE CARLSBAD 

SAFETY CENTER due to a conflict and 

need of projection facilities 

(program: Space Shuttle). 

SHOW and TELL will feature 

whatever you bring in (promises.

The June 1st program was an 

excellent program by WB4RYA. Ed 

Tiedemann. who spoke on Qualcom's 

entry into the mobile telephone 

market and a description of its 

operation. Qualcom has a large 

number of hams who work for the 

company. During the last two Field 

Days we have used one of their 

mobile test trucks for the Satellite 

station. 

Attendance was 108 with 96 

members and 12 guests. 

Art-KB6YHZ. Larry-AB6LY 

(KC6PEN) and Kay. again supervised 

the drink and goodie table. Members 

bringing in goodies were WB6R-Duane.

swapmeet section at Oceanside 

beginning the second Saturday of 

October (that is October 10th) and 

the Palomar Amateur Radio Club has 

been invited to act as host. start 

cleaning out your shacks and plan to 

attend. We'll plan to offer 

something like radio checks. ham 

information. etc. plus talk in on 

146.73. See you there! 

Elsewhere in this newsletter you 

will find information about seating 

at the Miramar Air Show on Friday. 

August 14 for various organizations. 

PARC being one of them. Here is an 

opportunity for you to see the show 

withou fighting the Saturday and 

Sunday crowds. I will have windshield 

stickers available at the 

August meeting. Send for you seating 

tickets early. 

Finally. Field Day was a blast (or a 

shake) depending on your point of 

view. Dennis. N6KI. and Bill. 

KB6MCU. our co-chairpersons worked 

their tails off as did all those who 

helped set uP. operate. log. cook 

foOd. take down. film. video record 

or whatever. Thanks to all who participated. 

With the two earthquakes 

that hit at roughly 5 and 8 AM on 

Sunday (giving all the folds on the 

hill a wake up call). it was obvious 

tht the basic purpose of Field Day 

is to practice emergency communications 

with the contest aspect being 

secondary. Many of our contacts 

across the country asked about the 

quake and had there been health and 

welfare traffic. we would have been 

in a position to handle it. 

According to the bean counters we 

had a fairly decent score and a very 

good chance to place number one 

again in the 5A category. Yea Dennis 

and Bill!

to buy items more cheaply thru the 

mails but by buying at HRO you can 

easily return an item for warantee 

service and discuss your problems 

with them on a one-to-one basis. You 

can't really do that thru the mail. 

PALOMAR ENGINEERS: another one 

of the old advertisers in the SCOPE. 

Jack Althouse. is a local 

electronics engineer and produces 

all sorts of goodies at his plant in 

Escondido. For those of you who have 

interference problems. Jack carries 

RFI filter material to help solve 

your interference problems. In 

addition he carries all sorts of 

accessories for your ham station 

besides those mentioned in his PARC 

ads. Every few years Jack puts on a 

program for the club describing his 

accessories. 

LOREEN WILHELMY. CTC: Loreen 

N6RAO has just changed over to being 

an AMERICAN EXPRESS Travel Agency 

representative and would appreciate 

your giving her a call about any 

travel plans you might have inside 

the USA and foreign travel. She and 

Ron-WI6B, trustee of W6NWG. also 

have a ham shack-condo in Hawaii 

which I understand they rent from 

time to time. If you need to make 

travel plans, give Loreen a call. 

ANTENNA SPECIALTIES: Ed Ross 

N6GZI is one of the old time 

climbers from the club and taught 

your Editor how to conduct himself 

while on the club's 80' tower on 

Palomar Mountain. Ed puts antennas 

up and takes them down plus making 

modifications to antenna systems. He 

was for years the SANDARC interference 

chairman servicing many TVI/RFI 

complaints in the San Diego area. 

Give Ed a call if you have an 

antenna or interference problem that 

needs the professional touch. 

CONTES ELECTRIC: Joe 

Contogenis-NlI6L is our local expert 

electrician who has done wiring at 

the repeater site for the club 

charging us only for the materials 

used. Joe works in his ham wiring 

jobs with his industrial. 

commercial. and residential 

business. If you are re-wiring the

FARMERS INSURANCE GROUP: Tim 

KI6GI. handles insurance of all 

types but specializes in auto. fire, 

life, commercial, and health. Tim is 

centrally located in La Mesa and 

would appreciate your call for your 

insurance needs. 

SWIECH COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS: 

Gene-WB9COY. has been making 

antennas for years and only recently 

decided to market his creations to 

the general public. One of his 

original creations was a 22' yagie 

for 2m. He now is producing 2m and 

70cm yagies which can be bought at 

HRO or at some of the swap meets 

that Gene attends. On occasion Gene 

has been known to make up special 

antennas for special needs. Be sure 

to see Gene for all of your UHF and 

VHF antenna needs. 

U.S. PATENT ATTORNEY: Loya1 

W9WV is a relatively new advertiser 

to the SCOPE and specializes in 

patents. Many of our club members 

are envolved in businesses which 

could use Loyal's expertise since 

most smaller companies cannot afford 

to have a full time patent attorney 

on the pay roll. So if your company 

has the need of a patent attorney. 

be sure to suggest Loyal's name to 

them. 

LDU De BEER is our latest 

advertiser and is quite 

knowledgeable about the repair of 

test equipment and most modern day 

transmitters and receivers. Lou has 

one of the best test benches you 

have ever seen including a spectrum 

analyzer. He is available for repair 

of electronic eqUipment at your 

place of work or your amateur radio 

eqUipment whether it is ancient tube 

or modern transistor. 

If any of our club members 

operate a business and would like to 

advertise in the SCOPE, please 

contact your editor and Jo-KB6NMK, 

our professional ad deSigner, will 

work with you setting up an ad to

areas covered for the patches by 

sending a self addressed stamped 

evnvelope (SASE) to W9FQN (see 

Editor) along with your phone number 

or contact him at the next club 

meeting. The present access codes 

(at least until September) for all 

repeaters and areas served are 

listed on your address label ••• but 

you will need the info sheet to know 

how to use those codes. 

FIELD DAY 1 992 

(DE Dennis-N6KI) "The familiar 

phonetics of W6 "Nothing Working 

Good" were changed to W6 "Nasty 

Wobbling Ground" when on Sunday. 

just after Sam. the first of two 

strong earthquakes hit Southern 

California. All operators checked 

for damage then immediately checked 

all 2m earthquake and disaster nets. 

Although PARC was poised and ready 

to handle emergency traffic. the 

services of one of the largest Field 

Day operations were not called upon. 

PARC did pass along reports of 

damage to stations allover the U.S. 

and Canada as many queries were 

received from other FD stations. 

After the second major earthquake 

hit around 8am. PARC operators 

advised other Field Day participants 

to ·work San Diego. While you can!·"

Our other SSB stations probably 

did much better than usual because 

they used better antennas than in 

years past. Carl-N6WLX's station 

was our No.1 SSB stat10n this year 

because of good operators and 

antennas: 4el 10m beam, 17 d1pole, 

and 80 delta loop from a tall palm 

tree. He also ·saved our tails· by 

jumping up to 17m and running off 

405 QSO's •• who said the band was 

dead? 

Your editor (and many others) 

were greatly impressed by Charlie- 

W6UQF who turned out to be a one man 

show using beams on 15/40. Char11e 

knows CW 11ke he was born speaking 

it. Watching him operate was an 

exper1ence and his 883 raw contacts 

for 1,766 points made him the No.1 

station for PARCo He remembers as a 

kid operating on his first FD with 

Boots Olson (SK) of PARCo They were 

using a Collins transce1ver and 

Boots said, "kid, its all yours now· 

and let him operate the rest of the 

night. From that time on, Charlie 

became an av1d CW operator. We hope 

that Charlie w11l be back with us 

next year and share with the rest of 

the budding PARC CW operators his 

knowledge of CW contesting. 

Our second CW station made 737 

raw contacts or 1.474 pOints. 

It should be noted that in 1991 

our CW team made 1,779 CW contacts 

and this year with almost all PARC 

CW ops we made 1.743 CW contacts 

with poorer band conditions. We DO 

HAVE CW ops! 

The Chief Ops are in capitals 

and the operators follow. If we 

missed any operators or loggers 

(computor operators), we apologize 

and hope you will let us know where 

we missed you so that we will know 

who has experience in each operating 

position for next year. 

Raw contacts are listed but the 

CW contacts are worth 2 pOints each 

so you can see that CW really pulls 

in the points.

metal work needed and a great big 

THANKS to Bi1l-KB6MCU whose dedication 

and effort were outstanding. 

Bill cleaned and tested antennas. He 

hauled antennas, towers, and other 

equipment to and from the FD site. 

Introduced the club to his folding 

mast which made beam attachement 

easier and safer and raised the 

beams an additional 10-15 feet. Next 

year Bill and crew will be turning 

most of their jobs that they did 

this year over to the individual 

chief operators. 

Without our GREAT crew of 

dedicated workers, our FD operation 

would not have been so successful.

July 31st, 1992, and you will need 

to renew NOW. Since club dues are 

so low, please consider renewing for 

2-3 years saving you and Ralph 

KC6WAN time and paper work ••and you 

can forget about the dues for a 

couple of years. Several club members 

have renewed past the year 

20041 The club was started in 1936 

so it is like putting money in a

- NET S 

·On 7-12-92 Ron-K6MZV 

was on a 

Cal 240 Sailboat out of San 

Francisco hat had put in at 

Oceanside harbor. Ron had been 

talking to a friend on 146.73 and 

heard the Sunday Sailor's Net open 

at lOam. He checked into the net and 

asked if anyone could help him with 

information on a Luke propeller that 

had failed on his boat. Jay Jacobs 

N6ZJB, a Marine Architect, responded 

and drove to OceanSide harbor to 

consult with Ron's diver and 

engineered a repair procedure to 

remove the propeller underwater 

using a canvas bag to catch all the 

parts and reassemble the propeller 

on deck including new grease and 

bolts and then reinstall the 

propeller under water. Ron was under 

way that evening thanks to the 

Sunday Sailor nNet and Jay's 

expertise. Note: a Luke propeller 

uses gears and springs to make it 

self feathering when not being 

driven by the ships engine and the 

hub containing the gears had 

separated allowing the blades to 

rotate to a zero pitch position when 

power was applied. Larry Davis-W6QCA 

is net control. Check-ins usually 

include several ·consultants· on 

boating including a Licensed Master, 

a Marine Architect, a Marine 

Electronics expert. a former writer 

for SEA Magazine and many PARC 

members who own boats. (de Art 

KC6UQH) 


becoming a part of the 8pm San Diego 

Co. Traffic Net (SDCTN), remember 

that you need to request EACH 

evening net control to add you to 

THEIR roster. Joe-H6RYO is still 

looking for stations that can work 

into the 146.820 repeater to the 

north of us to handle SCNV traffic. 

The Palomar Amateur Radio Club 

supports the follOWing nets with its 

repeaters located on Palomar 

Mountain. We will add additional 

nets if there is a demand for them 

by the amateur community. How about 

a Spanish net to meet once a month?

The July 5th program was Fried 

SCOPE-SEP'92 CLUB MrG WED SEP 9th, 1930Hr. CARLSBAD SAFETY CENTER Pg. 1

SEP'92 

Heyne, WA6WZN, talking on the ARRL 

and showing a video on emergency 

communication. Art Goddard-W6XD gave 

us a rousing pep talk on why we 

should join ARES/RACES. If we don't 

participate, we are the problem. Art 

also encouraged us with a baseball 

bat held over our heads to write to 

our congressmen about HR 73 and SB 

1372. Fried I s charming secretary, 

Sandi Heyne-WA6WZO. brought handouts 

on various subjects and Fried 

prsented the club with a set of 

books: The FCC Rule Book. License 

manuals (Extra, Advanced. General, & 

Tech). and a 1990 ARRL Handbook. 

SHOW & TELL had Mike-KC6KCQ 

with an antenna hit by lightning and 

the suggestion that you disconnect 

your battery charger too so the 

lightning does not enter your set 

that way; Stan-W9FQN with two 2m 

mobile amplifiers; KA5Q-Ken with a 

packet box; and the ARES/RACES gang 

talking about ARES/RACES: KM6MW-Ron. 

&N6ELP-Dee. Ron was assisted by 

John-N6URW &Phill-KC6TYT. Thanks to 

everyone participating in Show and 

Tell. If you have something of 

interest to amateurs, bring it in 

and share it with us no matter how 

small or insignificant. It might 

stimulate one person into -thinkingor 

-building.- If so. it was worthwhile. 

Remember, it is more SHOW 

than TELL during the meeting. Most 

of the TELL comes during the 

intermission or at the end of the 

meeting. 

Attendance was 113 with 9B 

members and 15 guests. Attendance 

has been consistantly over 100 and 

increasing with each meeting. SO SEE 

YOU THERE I If you are a new ham and 

have a question, bring your test 

booklet and come early (7pm) to talk 

to a club officer or an OLD TIMER 

about your problems. 

Art-KB6YHZ. Larry-AB6LY and 

Kay, again supervised the drink and 

goodie table. Members bringing in 

goodies were W6TFB-Lloyd (cookies), 

KC6KCQ-Mike (cookies). KK6CA-Ray 

(strawberry tarts), and WA6YOO-Harry 

(brownies). The goodies were great 

and you were rewarded with -1 M parper 

ticipation ticket each (not 

cookie)! 


The annual PARC Picnic was just 

great. The food was plentiful, the 

weather cooperated, the testing of 

personal radios went well, I learned 

more about DFing from Stan. W9FQN. 

and I even won a prize! That's the 

good news, the bad news was the 

number of members who came: too few! 

Of a membership of close to 500. lOS 

attendance seems somewhat low. I 

wish I knew how to get greater 

participat ion. 

For those who took advantage of 

attending the Miramar Air Show on 

Friday by invitation, it was nice 

not having to battle the crowds. The 

Flight Deck Chalet was great. giving 

one the chance to stay out of the 

direct sun. The show, as usual. was 

great! Also many thanks to those 

club members who volunteered their 

time to provide communication 

support. 

At our last club meeting we 

were entertained by the ARRL 

Southwestern Division Director. 

Fried Heyn. WA6WZO. who gave an 

interest i ng ta1k wh i ch wa s 

accompanied by a video. 

The highlight of the evening 

was the presentation by John Cline. 

KI4EX. ARRL San Diego Section 

Manager and Section Emergency 

Coordinator. His talk, -If You Are 

Not Part of The Answer, Then You Are 

Part of The Problem.- He reminded us 

that Ham frequency allocations are 

not ·cast in concreteD and that 

there is a bill pending in Congress 

to put up all of the spectrum for 

allocation to the highest bidder! We 

hams must justify our use of the 

spectrum. a very limited and 

valuable resource. It's literally 

worth billions! 

Public Service is what 

justifies us, not ragchewing on 75 

meters. It means handling traffiC. 

participation in ARES, RACES. EVAC, 

RED FLAG. etc. or otherwise GETTING 

INVOLVED! If you need assistance in 

this, ask any of the club officers. 

Without mentioning a call sign. one 

of our members is always involved. 

SHE (yes a female type) is a RACES 

Station Manager. spent two days 

volunteering at the Air Show. came 

to the picnic, volunteered to help 

at the Escondido Holiday Parade, and 

has volunteered to act as our PUBLIC 

RELATIONS COORDINATOR. All this and 

she holds down a demanding full time 

job! 

Finally, trying to keep the 

Congressional Wolves away from our 

door is our representative. the 

American Radio Relay League. If you 

are not a member, join now!

Our 146.73 and 147.13 repeaters 

still seem to be about the most 

heavily used repeaters in the San 

Diego area. 

PARC usually says that our 

repeaters are located at 5,600 ft on 

Palomar Mountain. A recent check 

indicates the base of the tower is 

at 5.562 and the top of the tower is 

at 5.642 feet •• so it looks as if 

5,600 is not too far off.

Well, we caught someone entering 

the building without notification. 

The alarm sounded on a 

Thursday morning and we caught the 

220 Club of San Diego cleaning their 

battery terminals. Thanks to Car1 

N6NZX for the FIRST notification of 

the alarm and he gets -two activity· 

tickets last month for his efforts. 

Jim-KC6PAS received one activity

identity of the intruders. 

At present one of the alarm 

systems is connected to 449.425 and 

one other frequency. When the alarm 

is set off you will hear in Morse 

code A-L-A-R-M every 60 seconds on 

449.425. When a control operator 

-acknowledges· the alarm it reverts 

to sending A-L-A-R-M only every 10 

minutes with the W6NWG identification 

until reset. In this way you 

will know about the alarm and that a 

control operator is also aware of 

the alarm having been set off. This

anyone is interested in the 

technical aspects of the repeater

In the old days Amateur radio 

used to be 90S bu11ding and lOS 

operating. Here 1s your opportun1ty 

to do some bui1d1ng and 1earn1ng! 

RPT TECH INFO 

At the repeater s1te we have 

many runs of coax w1th most of them 

about 70' 1n length. Our decis10n on 

coax is based on cost, future 

projects, and ava11abi11ty vs DB 

loss accord1ng to the following 

chart: 

COAX LOSS CHART (DB/100Ft.) 

Cable 10m 2m 70cm 

7/S·He11ax .2 .5 .9 

1/2·He11ax .4 .9 1.6 

9086/9913.6 1.7 3.1 

RG-213/U .9 2.3 5.2 

RG-SX 1.2 3.5 5.8 

Remember that a 3 OB loss is a 

loss of 50S. W1th 30 watts at 70cm 

(450MHz) 1nto 9913 and 100' of 

feedl1ne you would have only 15 

watts reach1ng the antenna and on 

rece1ving 1t makes the other guy 

seem like he is runn1ng half power. 

At the repeater site we have 

four runs of 9913 and two of them 

are now connected to 146.730 and 

147.130 replacing the 1/2" He1iax 

runs they have been using for years. 

We needed the He11ax for h1gher 

frequenc1es and we think you can see 

why from the chart above. We have 

more He1iax (200') which can be 

added after we make several other 

decfs ions. 

At 2m the 1/2" Heliax has a 

loss of .9DB and 9913 a loss of 

1.70B for a difference of .8DB/100'. 

For 70' thfs is a loss of .560B 

C.8x.7) which, according to John 

WB6IQS. very few recefvers would 

even notice. When we have some 

surplus runs of Heliax we will 

return the 2m repeaters to He1iax 

runs but for the present we have 

more urgent uses for the low loss. 

high cost He1iax runs. 

AUTO PATCHES 

VSTA/MMSA/LMSA: normal 


request an autopatch informatfon 

sheet descrfbing the codes used and 


sendfng a self addressed stamped 

evnve10pe (SASE) to W9FQN (see 

Editor) along with your PHONE NUMBER 



for all repeaters and areas served 

are listed on your address label 

•••but you w111 need the info sheet 

to know how to use those codes. 

Please add the Poway (section 

2) pref1x of 675 to your June'92 

SCOPE listing. Th1s fs a newly added 

preffx to the Gfant Computer. 

Patch act1vity is runn1ng close 

to 300 phone calls per month and 

increasing at the rate of 30 calls 

each month. Cost of operating the 

patches runs about llc/call. 

qUESTION: can I use the 

autopatch and touch tones to ask my 

answering machine 1f I have any 

messages? 

ANSWER: PARC frowns on your 

doing so since you do not know what 

the other person has left on your 

answering machine. It could be a 

"very· personal message or a 

business call which w1l1 be heard 

over 2.000 square miles of San Oiego 

County. Until the FCC relaxes its 

rules, you should only interrogate 

your answering machine if you have 

an URGENT reason for doing so ••and 

then---yDu have to accept the 

responsibility for what is being 

repeated. PARC would hate to put the 

telephone number you used in its 

DUMP file. Remember. phone calls 

that don't have your call sign 

before the disconnect code run the 

possibi11ty of being placed fn the 

DUMP file sometime soon. The FCC fs 

assessing HEAVY fines for improper 

station operation. 

Mobile autopatches run on 

449.425 could exper1ence wrong 

numbers or incomplete numbers if you 

do not have a consistantly STRONG 

Signal. The problem is that mobile 

signals on the 70cm band go through 

more rap1d fad1ng than 2m which can 

result 1n missed d1g1ts or one 

longer tone appearing as two tones 

to the system. 

Our autopatches require PL for 

entry even 1f no PL 1s required for 

the repeater. The nature of PL 

c1rcu1ts is that they do not 

act hate immed fate1y so you will 

need to make sure that you do not 

send any digits immediately when you 

key up. Wa1t a second to give the Pl 

enough time to activate the 

circuits. then access the patch with 

your dialed number. Our GIANT 

COMPUTER is getting some read outs 

wh1ch are missing the first dig1t 

and we suspect that they are being 

sent during the normal PL delay. The 

147.13 repeater seems to have a 

longer delay on Pl then the other 

repeaters. 

Our autopatch connection in 

Vista has over the past 4-5 months 

been show1ng calls to El Cajon on 

the b11l which we know were not made 

by us. After haranguing Pac Bell, a 

phone official came out to Jerry 

WB6FMT's QTH to plug in his 

equipment to call El Cajon •• our 

Pg. 6 EXEC MTG THUR, SEP 10th. 1930Hr, WA6YOO QTH SCOPE-SEP'92

computer dumped him, so he went 

outside the house where he knew he 

could bypass the computer and tried 

•• result, another dump •• so he "went 

three miles away and tried to make a 

call to El Cajon from a telephone 

pole •• AND FAILED. When he came back 

15 minutes later he was quite 

impressed with our ability to DUMP 

un-authorized calls. So much so that 

he called his supervisor and after 

five minutes of discussion they came 

to the conclusion that their master 

computer must have a "glitch" 

causing the problem since all calls 

were for one minute. One second will 

show as one minute on your bill. 

This now makes your editor 

wonder about all of those ·one 

ringers· we have been getting in 

Valley Center the past year with no 

one on the other end and the 

unaccounted calls on our phone bill. 

Are you getting one and two 

"ringers· with nothing there when 

you answer? Are you finding calls on 

your bill that you did not make? 

This gremlin is making money for Pac 

Bell! 

- W 0 R K PAR TIE S 

Work parties at the repeater 

site are a lot of fun ••and besides, 

it is a good chance for you to see 

the repeater site and all of the 

equipment which you use ••you can 

learn quite a bit too. 

(7-9) Jerry-WB6FMT met Mike 

KC6KCQ at the repeater site to work 

on the 449.425 repeater while Stan 

W9FQN worked on the tower mounting 

brackets for the new tubular tower 

crank-up. Jerry and Mike put the 

repeater back on the PL access mode 

but failed to find the distortion 

although the problem has been 

limited to 4-5 components which are 

slowly being replaced. 

(7-11) Mike-KC6KCQ took the 

449.425 repeater home and after four 

hours found the reason for the bad 

audio. Because of the way Motorola 

operates the audio output 

trans1stors in the transceiver (not 

normal) we inadvertently grounded 

out the negative side of the audio 

when the autopatch system was 

connected. Audio and tone reproduction 

is greatly improved. This 

problem won't happen on the next 

repeater constructed! After several 

other minor mods the repeater was 

returned to service 7-13. 

(7-14) President Harry-WA6YOO, 

VP Art-KC6UQH, and Stan-W9FQN 

visited with Joe Crowder who runs 

the Santee, Escondido, and Oceanside 

swap meets in the San Diego Co. 

area. Joe recently added another 

Computer. Electronics. Ham Radio 

Swap Meet to the Santee area on the 

third Saturday and wants to add 

another one on the 2nd Saturday in 

Oceanside to start in October. Joe 

was advised of the weekends of ALL 

swap meets in Southern California 

but was adamant about his selection 

of the 2nd Saturday. For the 

present, PARC will publicize the 

swap meet in the SCOPE and make 

available 146.73 for "talk-in" to 

the Oceanside swap meet at the 

outdoor theater on the north side of 

road 76. 

Your editor is reminded by OT's 

that around 1980 PARC sponsored the 

only monthly ham swap meet (PARC 

called it a "Flea Market") in SDCo. 

which was held at the SWAN parking 

lot just a few miles from the 

Oceanside drive-in on Rd.76. 

(7-19) John-WB6IQS and Stan 

W9FQN visited the repeater site to 

l)temporary switch of 146.730 and 

147.130 antennas and feed1ines Which 

resulted in the .13 machine sounding 

weak like the .73 •• so we do have an 

antenna-feedline problem on the .73 

repeater. 2)added 7ga1 of distilled 

water to the 3.300 AHrs of emergency 

batteries (14 batteries' .5ga1 each 

seems like a lot of water but these 

are big batteries, 3501bs, and we 

were still .25" above the add mark), 

3)attached hardware to angle iron 

posts for the new tubular crank-up 

tower. and 4)new DC connections 

started to the new 3.300AHr battery 

backup system. John also left some 

parts for Mike-KC6KCQ to use on the 

new .73 repeater. 

(7-25) Jerry-WB6FMT and Stan 

SEP'92 

W9FQN visited Del-WV6Z's MMSA and 

Kerry-N6IZW's LMSA autopatch 

centers. Both units were installed 

with battery backup, placed in 

Motorola cabinets, prepared for 

unlimited 911 calling time (cannot 

be activated yet), and earthquake 

proofed. The LMSA patch was adjusted 

to give a dial tone almost 

immediately like the VSTA patch 

••and we forgot to adjust the MMSA 

patch access time. 

(7-28) The 449.425 repeater 

dropped in Signal strength and Mike 

KC6KCQ went over after work and 

found a connecting coaxial cable 

with an internal open but suspect 

another problem now in the 

transmitter. This cable will have to 

be replaced with another cable of 

the exact dimensions as the old 

cable since it is one leg of a "T" 

where the antenna connection sp11ts 

going to the rec1ver and transmitter 

cav1ties (filters). 

(7-29) Stan-W9FQN held a 

meeting with Doug Garton to discuss 

the club's property 11nes and 

easements. Doug, who owns property 

on two sides of the PARC repeater 

s1te. provided the club with several 

survey maps which will be kept in 

the club files. 

(7-29) Mike took the .425 

repeater home to try to find why the 

final transistors were shutting down 

on transmitt. 

(7-31) Mike found an original 

transm1tter internal connection with 

a rosin core joint which has been 

there since the transmitter was 

constructed. After soldering, things 

seemed to be working normal. The 

repeater was returned to the bunker 

7-30 in What we hope is working 

order. 

(8-3) Stan-W9FQN went to the 

site and took the 146.73 antenna 

rated at 9db (4 folded dipoles 

bought in 1973 used) and replaced it 

with a 2m corner reflector rated at 

8.1db. Previously the .73 repeater 

was 6db below the .13 repeater and 

now it is 4db above the .13 repeater 

for a relative gain of 10db Which is 

available on transmitt and rece1ve.

Something is WRONG with the old .73 

4-bay! Jim Hall went along and made 

some adjustments on his repeater. 

(8-?) John-WB6IQS assembled a 

corner reflector according to his 

design from junk parts with Orlando 

N6QVW helping with the assembling 

and doing the welding of the 

aluminum. Orlando also machined a 

reflector bracket for one of the 2m 

collinears which will soon be placed 

into operation. 

(8-9) John worked on the 146.73

out the new 2m collinear for the 

146.730 repeater and adjusted the 

reflecter brackets made by Orlando 

N6QVW for proper fit on the tapered 

mast. The reflector will change the 

6db collinear to almost 9db and give 

us a broader patter than we now have 

with the corner reflector. We have 

two corner reflectors which are 

slated for other projects in the

LETTERS to the EDITOR 

... . ..a....... 

PARC welcomes letters to the 

editor which are of GENERAL interest 

to its membership but reserves the 

right to print or edit submissions. 

---de Bill Denton, NG6Z-- 

The following are examples of 

useless words, expressions, phrases. 

and poor practices. (at least in my 

opinion), that are often heard on 

many of the local VHF and UFH 

repeaters, (and sometimes on HF 

also): 

l)This is UR2BAD. "for 10": The "for 

10" is obviously to differentiate 

from all of the other reasons 

requiring the announcement of the 

operator's call sign, whatever those 

reasons might be. (giving ur call is 

ur "ID"-Ed) 

2)N6XYZ this is UR2BAD. -pause- 

"Nothing heard. UR2BAD clear." Now 

everyone who happened to be 

listening during this transmission 

is thankful to UR2BAD for letting 

them know that "nothing was heard" 

and LlR2BAD is clear. ·No response" 

is in the same category. Nothing 

heard or no response to a call is 

obvious to anyone listening after 

only a few moments. 

3)The words "there" and "here" 

inserted frequently in most all 

sentences transmitted by a station. 

These two words. . usually and 

nothing to the meaning of the 

transmission. . 

4}Use of the royal "WE" or the 

plural ·we" for I or me. ·We" are 

using a Kenwood 123 "here". "We" 

have been a Ham for ten years. 

"here". Own your transmissions. If 

you mean "I", use "I". The use of 

"we" tends to put distance between 

the operator and his/her 

transmissions. 

5)N6XYZ this is UR2BAO, "I'll be 

clear after your final". (1 resisted 

the impulse to add another "there" 

after the word final). The 

transmitting station was clear after 

giving the call sign UR28AD for the 

last time during the contact. 

6)"N6XYZ. N6AAA. N6AAB. N6AAC. 

N6AAO. uhhhhh, Joe I forgot your 

call. sorry, uhhhhh anyway UR2BAD 

clear". A roll call of everyone on 

the repeater. or involved in the 

roundtable. is not required when 

Signing off, or any other time 

either. It's particularly 

aggravating when the signing station 

cannot remember all of the call 

signs and takes forever trying to 

recall them, while everyone else 

waits. Your own call sign is all 

that is required (by the FCC). Look 

it up. 

7) Use of the word "break" when 

desiring to enter, join. or 

interrupt a conversation. A call 

sign is sufficient and much more 

friendly. "Break" almost carries 

some amount of urgency or time 

dependent requirement. For those 

instances. of course. by all means 

use "break", and for life 

threatening situations "break-break" 

is appropriate. But for casual 

conversation. announcing one's call 

sign, indicating a wish to join in, 

is much more pleasant to this 

operator. What do you think? 

8)Announcing everyone's call sign at 

each turnover of the conversation, 

again particularly offensive when 

there is a long list. Remember 

folks, your call must be given every 

ten minutes during the contact and 

at the conclusion of the contact. 

More frequently is not a big deal, 

but at each over? 

9)Use of the "Q" signals in phone 

operation. Many times the plain 

English word has fewer syllables. A 

speCific. frequent error example: 

"I'm at my home QTH". QTH is 

location. wherever you might be at 

the time. QTH adds nothing to the 

word home. In some cases QTH alone 

has been heard as meaning horne. QTH 

and home are not aynonymous. The 

expression. "I'm at my QTH" does not 

necessarily mean you are at home. A 

Ham operator is always at his/her 

QTH, wherever that may be. 

10llong winded operators during the 

morning and afternoon rush hours. 

Sometimes these are fixed stations. 

capable of using a simplex mode to 

ragchew. Then there is the operator 

who acknowledges an interrupting 

station, during rush hours. and says 

"breaking station. you're 

acknowledged. Just a minute and I'll 

Pg. 8 EXEC MrS THUR. SEP 10th, 1930Hr, WA6YOO QTH SCOPE-SEP'92

turn it over to you". This practice 

is not responsive to a mobile 

station time dependent on freeway or 

road advice or offering a traffic 

advisory. 

11)Use of the term 73"s·, plural. 

The numbers 73, sent in CW, mean 

"best regards·. Note that 73 sent in 

CW does not include the ·s·. If 

Amateurs are going to use a CW term 

in their phone operations, get it 

right. Folks. it·s 73. pronounced 

·Seven Three·. 

12)Using the term ·portable" when it 

should have been "mobile·. For 

example; This is UR2BAD portable. 

Portable defines an Amateur station 

operating from a fixed location 

other than the address listed on 

his/her station license. Mobile 

means just What it says. 

Now none of these examples are 

a mortal sin or a major crime. They 

are not up there with world events 

such as the uniting of East and west 

Germany or the civil unrest in 

Yugoslavia. Hearing them does not 

cause me to worry. raise my blood 

pressure. or lose any sleep. My 

pOint is that if we are using a 

hobby that occupies valuable 

frequency spectrum we ought to do it 

right. Perpetuating poor operating 

habits from one generation to the 

next is not required. Just because a 

Ham (some of the ·oldtimers·) 

demonstrates poor operating 

procedures does not mean they have

For those who have been living 

in a cave. let it be known that PARC 

again placed first in the 5A 

category in this year's Field Day. A 

special thanks to Dennis. N6KI. and 

8il1. KB6MCU. our co-chairmen of the 

Field Day Committee who worked 

industriously to insure that towers. 

antennas. computers and programs and 

other equipment were in top 

operating condition. And to all 

those who set uP. took down. 

operated. logged. cooked food. etc. 

many many thanks for all you did. 

CON G RAT U L A T ION S 

Next subject: The first Amateur 

Radio-E1ectronics-Computer Swap Meet 

in Oceanside. Thanks to Larry. AB6LY 

and his charming wife, things got 

off to a good start. The two of them 

arose at OH-DAWN-THIRTY to be there 

at opening time and set up the club 

table. There was a fair turn out of 

sellers and buyers for the first 

time out of the hat. It can only get 

bigger and better. What is needed is 

club members to come and man the 

club table, help pass out brochures. 

and answer questions. We'll call for 

volunteers at the next club meeting. 

The meet lasts about eight hours. We 

would like about one hour of your 

time. 

ARRL has just notified us that 

we have been accepted for Special 

Service Club status for the coming 

year. We have been in this category 

for several years and it is a 

reflection of the community 

activities in Which the club 

participates. Thanks to all who made 

this poss fble.

RECOGNITION 

Ron Miely-KM6MW and Bob Lentz 

~ for putting together an IBM PC 

for the club to use in its autopatch 

system. We hope that the computer 

will enable us to record all 

telephone numbers dialed and supply 

automatic area selection besides 

-dumping- unapproved calls. The 

computer consists of 640K, 1-360k 

floppy disk. 2-serial ports 

(control) and one parallel port 

(printer). For the present we will 

use John-WB6IQS's color monitor 

which is on loan until we see if the 

project will fly. 

NICK ANDRE of HIGHWAY 

ELECTRONICS for the excellent price 

on two 30 foot military grade 

crankup towers which collapse to 6' 

in height. See FOR SALE in this 

issue for the location of Nick's 

store. Nick carries all sorts of old 

military surplus items up to new 

computer power supplies. Your 

Editor's last trip reminded him that 

you haven't lived if you haven't 

spent 1-3 hours brousing through 

every nook and craney, inside and 

outside, of Nick's warehouse. I 

especially was impressed with the 

new 110vac variacs, computer power 

supplies, transformers (large and 

small) , test equipment, meters, etc. 

Some of the items are so new Nick 

has not had time to unpack them yet. 

BARRY-KK60T for consenting to 

take the Sunday morning PARC 

Emergency Service net (ARES) for the 

month of October and November. 

Several years ago Barry, then known 

at N6ENI. kept the net alive when no 

one else was willing to help with 

the net control duties. 

DON WATERS for the reel (real?) 

tapes for recording autopatches. 

JIM-KA60LZ for more tapes. 

GEORGE-KA6YEA for even more 

tapes •• thats enough! The FCC will 

be happy that we keep tapes on file 

for years. 

David-KD6EBY for donation of 

many eye glasses for the Tecate 

Clinic sponsored by the FLYING 

SAMARITAN'S (Samaritanos Yoladores) 

•• they can always use more eye 

glasses and Spanish interpreters (de 

Nash-W6HCD). 

Rick-KC9LY and PowCon for the 

loan of an arc welder for welding 

the tower sections of the SO' tower 

together •• we have decided to stay 

on Palomar Mountain! Their welders 

are heavy duty but light enough that 

we can haul the welder up the side 

of the tower. 

Gordon-N6GW for the donation of 

QSTs 76-90 and QEXs to Frank-KI6YG 

at the Challenger Jr.H.S. for their 

amateur radio - sc1ence program.

All officers, except for 

Secretary Nash Williams-W6HCD 'S9 

92, who has other obligations, 

consented to run for the offices 

which they presently hold. Harry 

WA6YOO. president for '92. is an 

ardent DXer and MARS operator. Art 

KC6UQH has been involved in Marine 

Radio for years (grew up with it), 

YP in charge of programs for '92. 

and in charge of the new repeater. 

Mike-WH6CH. running for secretary. 

recently joined the club from Hawaii 

where he served as the Sec-Treas of 

the Hawaii West RC on the big 

island. Benton-KK6LX. treasurer for 

'90-92 is a former college administrator. 

The club is thankful that some 

of its members are willing to serve 

in office more than one term. Clubs 

that have big change-overs at 

election time tend to loose their 

direction because the new officers 

are not aware of what has gone on in 

the past. 

The following additional BOARD 

positions were created by the new 

constitution. Ron-WI6B holds an 

extra class ticket and is the holder 

of the club call. W6NWG. He was also 

the club's treasurer for 'S6-S9. 

Tim-N6ZUE is a past broadcast 

engineer working on remote sites and 

presently is working on the club's 

packet control system. 

There are three appointed Board 

positions by the club pres1dent: 

John-WB6IQS has been the repeater 

site techn ica 1 cha irman for 13 years 

(the longest held position of any 

active member) and Stan-W9FQN is 

editor of the SCOPE (2yrs). repeater 

site chairman (Syrs). and past 

president (7 years). It has been 

suggested that the new president 

SCOPE-NOY'92 CLUB MTG WED NOY 4th. 1930Hr, CARLSBAD SAFETY CENTER Pg. 5

NOY'92 

appoint to the 3rd appointed 

position Ralph-KC6WANwho is the new 

membership chairman and operator of 

the giant computer system. 

All appOinted committee heads 

and appOinted Board members by the 

president serve until re-appointed 

or replaced by the new club 

president in January. 

The NEW board will be composed 

of four officers and five directors 

for a total of nine board members. 

The OLD Executive Committee had four 

officers and any committee heads 

that attended the committee meetings 

•• usually a total of seven. 

Nominations from the floor will 

be accepted at the November meeting

It has been called to our 

attention that the SCOPE this past 

month was LATE. In fact, for some 

members it arrives the week of the 

meeting which should not be. We 

ALWAYS mail the SCOPE on the Tuesday 

(3:30pm) of the week before the 

meeting and it leaves Vista that 

afternoon or Wednesday morning 

depending on the time we get it in 

Tuesday afternoon. You should 

receive it that week on Thursday or 

Friday at the latest leaving you 

with 5-6 days before the meeting. If 

the SCOPE gets to you too late, you 

don't know what the meeting is 

about. If too early. you forget 

about the meetings!

wrong and we are checking on it but 

we suspect the problem is in the 

Post Office in San Diego where it is 

rumored that some changes are being 

made. QUite possibly. after years of 

the present routine, we will have to 

mail the SCOPE earlier •• or take a

PARC is looking for all the 

holes in coverage of their 

repeaters. We are aware of the Vista 

black hole •• can you nominate others 

where it is almost impossible to put 

a signal into our repeaters on 2 

meters. Send nominations for BLACK 

HOLE OF THE MONTH to W9FQN •• via 

phone, autopatch, 146.73 or 449.425. 

Please use MINIMUM POWER on all 

of our repeaters except when you are 

in the BLACK HOLES but don't forget 

to return to low power. FCC rules 

state you must use the lowest power 

available to maintain your communications. 

-SK 

Ken-W6SKI's new -Aligator

several others are planning on 

timing out the repeater so they can 

get one! -SK 

AUTO PATCHES

request an AUTOPATCH INFORMATION 

~ describing the codes used and 


sending a SELF ADDRESSED STAMPED 

ENVELOPE (SASE) to W9FQN (see 




for all repeaters and areas served 

are listed on your address label 

• •• but you will need the info sheet 

to know how to use the repeater 

codes. If you are in a big hurry, 

call Stan-W9FQN at 749-0276. -SK- 

The autopatches are for 

EMERGENCY USE although we do approve 

of your using them for short, 

necessary messages. 

Some members living near or on 

Camp Pendleton have been changed to 

a 385 prefix which should NOW be 

programmed into area 11 of the 

Northern Section. 

There are beginning to be 

problems on 147.130 &449.425 in how 

the autopatch is being used. We are 

seeing users not following the 

proper SEQUENCE and in using the 

autopatches for chit-chat (ie., how 

are things going today?, how are the 

kids? etc.) The autopatches are for 

EMERGENCY use and for IMPORTANT 

INFORMATION that needs to be passed 

IMMEDIATELY with very lITTLE 

COMMENT. When you are chit-chating 

on one repeater the autopatch CANNOT 

be used for emergency purposes on 

one of the another repeaters. All 

calls should be less than 60 seconds 

••30 seconds if possible. Remember 

that the DNE autopatch serves THREE 

repeaters (at present) with one more 

position available for another 

repeater. 

THE BOARD DECIDED THAT IF THIS 

NOTICE DOES NOT GET YOUR ATTENTION 

THAT THE AUTOPATCHS ON 147.13 & 

449.425 WIll BE TURNED OFF NEXT 

MONTH FOR 1 WEEK IN AN ATTEMPT TO 

GET YOUR ATTENTION. The autopatch on 

146.73 will remain available for 

members use since we have fewer 

problems on that frequency. 

NEW autopatch users (and OLD) 

are reminded of the proper SEQUENCE 

in making autopatch calls:

your call is on the master tape 

recorder (speak clearly) before the

these procedures, especially #6, 

will ultimately cause the numbers 

being called to be deleted from the 

"allow" list •• or put' another way, 

placed on the "disallowed" list in 

the "giant computer" because we 

don't know who made the call 

although we know who it was made to. 

Our small computers have 

limited memory but the new IBM will 

allow us to possibly automate more 

of the autopatch operation ••and 

-~ EASILY place complete phone numbers 

on the "disallow" list. -SK 


(S-26).§!.:!!. switched the 147.130 

repeater from our 4-bay dipole 

antenna on the right side of the 

tower to the left hand 4-bay (which 

we thought was bad) and his signal 

jumped up in strength. The left 4 

bay is the one we were going to 

replace on the 13th of September 

•• so we are really puzzled as to why 

we thought the left 4-bay was bad! 

The 146.73 repeater is still on the 

corner reflector. Erik found a 

black widow spider and eggs in the 

bunker. -SK 

(8-30)Art-KC6UQH and ~ 

KC6KCQ spent the day working on the 

~5 repeater trying to increase 

the sensitivity of the system. The 

receiver was tuned, coax connectors 

checked, and filters fine tuned with 

all of the test eqUipment that Art 

brought with him. The biggest change 

occured when the repeater was put on 

the 4-bay which the autopatch system 

was using. The antennas will be 

switched back in a few days after we 

see what sort of coverage the 4-bay 

antenna will give us. It appears as 

though a significant improvement was 

made in the signal and that we will 

have to find out why the collinear 

we recently installed is performing 

so poorly. 

Stan-W9FQN painted the two 

·sun" sides of the bunker a very 

light green in an attempt to reduce 

the temperature inside the building. 

The old ·dirt" brown on the block 

walls seemed to readily soak up the 

sun's heat and when added to the 

heat generated inside the bunker 

from the many repeaters, drove the 

inside temperature up to 100+ 

degrees some days. Stan also drove 

in a large number of fence posts 

defining the property lines. We 

discovered that one guy line is near 

a property edge and that the 

incoming road is mostly inside our 

property line (it should be 

outside). We will make the final 

adjustment to the property lines on 

one of the next trips to the 

mountain. Mike and Stan checked the 

new building (ice-box) floor and 

decided on the location of the 

foundation. -SK 

(9-6)Art-KC6UQH and Stan-W9FQN 

went to Mira Mesa to pick up the new 

(at least to us) GE Master II 

repeater and WACOM dup1exer with a 

WACOM pass cavity. The complete 

repeater is on loan to the club. Art 

checked the repeater out and noted 

that it had better than 0.1 micro 

volt sensitivity and put out 30 

watts. The repeater came with PL 

encode-decode and appears to be in 

A-I operating condition. More info 

later. -SK 

(9-12)Duane-WB6R. Tim-N6ZUC. 

Dick-N6QBD. and Stan-W9FQN laid the 

foundation for the new ice-box 

building using 3 railroad ties and 

2x6 lumber and installed the 

flooring. When finished, the new 

building will allOW us to take 3-4 

repeaters out of the bunker 

relieving the congestion we now have 

with repeaters setting in the isle. 

The average age of three of us 

doing the "grunt" work was probably 

60+. Where are you young ·bucks· who 

need the exercise? Dick and Duane 

NOY'92 

also painted one more side of the 

bunker. -SK 

Bob-WA6QQQ worked on the 220 

repeater doing routine maintenance 

and checked the 220 antennas. -SK 

(9-13)Phil-KC6TYP and ~ 

KB2CDY (drove up from San Ysidro) 

painted the rest of the bunker and 

put stakes along the property line 

giving us our first true picture of 

the property that we own. Knowing 

the lines also allowed us to do a 

preliminary estimation of the 

orentiation of the club's 80' tower. 

Antennas perpendicular to the front 

face are at 220 degrees passing out 

over La Jolla. The right face is at 

190 degrees passing out over El 

Cajon and the left face is at 250 

degrees passing out over Carlsbad. 

This will be checked more accurately 

next trip. 

David then helped Stan-W9FQN on 

the tower to install the new 2m 

collinear which now needs a 

feedline. Stan installed the new 

section of flooring in one section 

of the "ice-box". Ted-KC6ZRY helped 

with the property lines and 

supported the tower climbers. ~ 

KC6KCQ and John-WB6IQS installed the 

reflector on the new 2m collinear 

and worked on the repeaters. ~ 

KC6UQH helped with the antenna 

~g and used his test eqUipment 

to check out the 146.73 cavities 

that still seemed to be "in tune" 

since they were last worked on 10 

years ago. Of course, everyone lent 

a hand where needed in all of the 

projects. The BLACK WIDOW spider was 

found and the family line was ended 

by Mike the TERMINATOR. Visitors 

were Jim-KC6PAS and David-KC6EBY. 

SK 

(9-29) John-WB6IQS and ~ 

W9FQN visited HIGHWAY ELECTRONICS in 

~ide and picked up two ·warsurplus· 

heavy duty masts for the 

club at a nice price. Looks as if 

they will be good masts for 

emergency work •• and Field Day 

••• got to keep that 5A image 

polished.

building at lOam and by early 

afternoon had all of the sides up 

and the door hung. It looks very 

nice but ft fs minus a roof. ~ 

~ came up in the afternoon to 

help make plans for completfng the 

many little things that need to be 

done on the building: bracing. 

secure the door fixtures. and extend 

the 6' cefling so that Art-KC6UQH 

can walk fnto the building without a 

brain concussfon. Joe made plans for 

some welding on the shed and coax 

vault plus items needed for the 

emergency crankup tower next to the 

repeater buildfng. 

John-WB6IQS and Jim used their 

IFRs (we had two of them) to check 

.A;ItIt the new frequency and how it 

affects other repeaters in the 

building. The results are 

encouraging since they were done 

without the use of various filters 

and antenna separation which will be 

added later. WB6IQS. after most 

others left. spent some time on the 

new 12vdc power distribution system. 

David-KC6EBY dropped in after his 

work at the observatory and pfcked 

up a key for the battery shed and 

Monday will check all the batteries 

for correct acid levels. Some of us 

arrived home at 7pm so it was a full 

day on beautiful Palomar Mountain. 

SK~ 

(10-13) John-WA6ZJC and ~ 

KA6UAI worked on 147.130 to find out 

why the power output was dropping 

after several minutes of use. After 

many tests and trouble shooting it 

was decfded to replace several 

coupling capacitors. One of them 

must have been bad since the problem 

was fixed. Erik also replaced his 

control antenna on the tower and 

Stan-W9FQN cut brush. painted the 

motor shed. and made lists of things 

needed for the following Sunday work 

party. -SK 

(10-18) John-WB6IQS and Art 

KC6UQH worked in the bunker checking 

~ome measurements needed on 

several repeater antennas and thefr 

interaction. 

John-KD6NMJ supervfsed the 

framing of the roof raising wfth 

Ted-KC6ZRY. Dav1d-KC6YSO and ~ 

~ helping. They were work1ng on 

the freezer building which fs befng 

turned into a repeater bunker. It 

measures 7.S'x7.S' and looks as if 

it could hold 7 repeaters easily 

with space to work. David also found 

time to work on the exhaust fans and 

fnstalled the second one in the main 

bunker. Jim~KC6PAS came over and 

supplfed us with all the tools and 

nafls we needed •• thanks Jim. 

John. Ted. and Joel were 

supervised by Julie. Ted's wife. and 

Janet respectively. Julie is 

awaftfng her ham license •• now if we 

just could get the other two Yls 

interested. 

The freezer sides were extended 

2' so Art-KC6UQH could enter the 

building. These were made from 3/4" 

plywood and 2x4 framing. The roof 

was installed leavfng a bunch of 

items that still need to be done: 

painting inside and outSide. 

caulking. weather proofing the roof. 

table. AC wiring. DC wiring. 

earthquake braCing and anchors. 

lighting protection. grounding. 

ventilation. building anchors. coax 

cables. etc. We could use some help! 

We are hopping to move into the new 

building before winter descends upon 

us. 

It appears as though we will 

move four repeaters into the new 

building when it is finished which 

should free up space in the main 

bunker for other projects we have on 

the drawing board. -SK- 

There is st 111 a lot of work 

that needs to be done before winter 

sets fn so there wfll be more work 

parties soon. We have been greatly 

pleased with the help some of you 

have gfven us the past two months 

and only wish that more of you would 

find out what is going on at the 

repeater site. 

We can always use help at the 

repeater site. If you have some 

speCial talent (besides years of 

pressing your m1c button ••or 

sitting on it). please contact Stan 

W9FQN for possible projects that you 

could help with at the site.

HOW OOES IT FEEL TO BE A FIELD 

OAY WINNER OF THE SA CLASSIFICATION 

TWO YEARS IN A ROW? It feels great. 

just ask Dennis-N6KI and Bill-KB6MCU 

••and Gene~B9COY ••and all of the 

FD gang. A great effort was put in 

by EYERYONE and ~ contact 

counted! 

It needs to be remembered that

de Dennis-N6KI 

As you can see from the results 

of the top 10 stations for 1991 & 

1992. PARC moved from 6th to Sth 

place nationwide. I still believe 

PARC has the potential to make S.OOO 

raw QSOs which would put PARC in the 

Number two spot. It would be almost 

impossible to take 11 spot in the 

nation because of Clubs running 22A 

or 2SA. the Novelty Class as I call 

it. I think we were 12th in the 

nation in 1990. 

I want to thank all 

participants for a great effort 

considering the loss of the San 

Diego DX club CW operators and the 

declining sunspot cycle which made 

propagation poorer.

R.VERNACCHIA -SK- 

Over the past few years the 

club has received some criticism 

about its FD operation which we feel 

comes from those who are uninformed. 

The most common comment is that we 

operate more than a 5A station. It 

is true that we might have up to 10 

stations set up but the rules state 

that we can have no more than 5 

stations on the air at one time plus 

packet and a novice station. The 

rules permit us to have 7 stations 

on at one time and call it 5A so we 

are not sure what the gripe is. We 

prevent ourselves from operating 

more than 5 stations by assigning 

certain stations only one band and 

other stations ·several· bands which 

means that with only one transceiver 

they can ONLY OPERATE ONE BAND at a 

time. This decision actually hurt us 

since N6KIs 20m station could have 

operated another band several times 

rather than shutting down which 

forced us to operate 4A for several 

hours (you can operate lower but not 

higher). 

It was said last year by some 

people that the ·on1y reason we won" 

was because some of the DX club 

members were part of our CW team 

•• of course, some of them were also 

Palomar Amateur Radio Club members. 

This year some of the "DX club" 

(including some PARC members) went 

on their own FD taking some of the 

operators which helped us last year 

..and we still were NO.1. 

Sometimes we hear comments 

about us running more power than 

allowed (150 watts) since we usually 

have a strong signal and are able to 

maintain the frequency that we are 

on. We know what power we are 

running and can explain our strong 

signals by our portable towers 

supporting good beams at 40-50 feet. 

How many clubs OWN seven crankup 

towers and put up TWO 40m beams for 

CW and SSB for Field Day. The number 

of FD stations sporting two 40m 

beams could probably be counted on 

one finger! We suspect that some of 

the comments are nothing more than 

"sour grapes." 

PARC has always looked at FD as 

an opportunity to hone its emergency 

equipment and operating skills. FD 

has been ·serious business" for us 

lately ••and it shows. We still have 

room for lots of improvement. 

When you are NUMBER ONE. I 

guess you have to learn how to take 

the heat! 

As Ralph-K6HAV (in Japan &past 

SCOPE editor) would say. WAIT TILL 

NEXT YEAR!

Dennis-N6KI and his gang of 

five saw to it that the club made a 

pretty penny, $395.05. Dennis had 

everything well organized so that 

the auction went smoothly. 

Ron-WI6B on money, Dennis-N6KI 

and Rick-KC9LV on recording. ~ 

~, Bill-KB6MCU, Dave-KC6VEC, 

and Joel-KM6XZ helped with bringing 

up items to our auctioneer, ~ 

Kerr1n-WA6CDU. This is Steve's third 

year acting as auctioneer for PARC 

and we are greatly impressed with 

his auctioning ability and his 

timely wit in describing some of the 

equipment in most eloquent terms 

•• even if he did have a slight cold. 

Many thanks to Dennis and his 

crew for rounding up all of the 

equipment and getting it ready for 

the auction. Thanks to Rick who 

brought in a roll of cardboard to 

protect the nice tables.

OCEANSIDE: This 1s a new swap 

meet on the 2nd Saturday of the 

month at the Oceanside Drive-In on 

Rd 76 between 1-5 and El Cam1no 

Real. Talk-in 146.730. Buyers 50c 

and sellers $13. If you are selling 

only a few items, you might want to 

double up with others to reduce your 

individual sellers cost. 

It looks as if a group of 

amateurs are going to meet at the 

Flying Bridge restaurant in 

Oceanside before the swap meet for 

breakfast. They have an excellent 

private dinning room for 60 hams and 

plenty of parking. Contact Ted 

KD6AKT for more information about 

the restaurant. 

For the first couple of times 

you might just take the whole family 

and let each person -do their thingwhile 

you visit the amateur radio 

section. Besides radio gear, there 

is a whole line of things for the 

family in the non-radio sect10ns of 

the swap meet. The bigger we make 

this amateur radio swap meet. the 

bigger the rewards for the club so 

be sure to show an interest in what 

the sellers are selling ••and buy 

something if it meets your needs. 

The October 10th Ham swap meet. 

the firs t one in recent years, 

started out well with a fair number 

of sellers and buyers •• it almost 

began at the size of the -end- of 

the old SWAN swap meets which the 

club used to conduct in the old Swan 

parking lot years ago when we had to 

shut down because of Oceanside 

regulations, insurance. parking 

problems, and the closing of the 

Swan plant. 

Dennis-N6KI says that you 

really don't know 1f you are a 

success or not until after a year of 

operation. Your editor went over 

with instructions to ·look- but not 

Wbuy· but I succumbed to buying a 

coiled mic cord and a HT headset 

with a boom mic at an excellent 

price. John-WB6IQS was observed 

walking out with a multiple card

club now has added to its collection 

for the new GE repeater. T1m-KC6ZUC 

was· observed walking out with a 

speaker and cords ••and your editor 

did not frisk the other PARC members 

he saw. 

Larry-AB6LY and wife, Kay, set 

up the PARC booth with banners and 

signs and manned it during the 

morning hours. Thanks for a job well 

done and we hope that in the future 

we will get more help for Larry and 

Kay at the swap meet so they don't 

have to be on duty all of the time. 

You get one activity point for 

helping •• not just showing up as 

your editor did.

- NET S 

Your editor from time to t1me 

hears many people on our repeaters 

who speak varying amounts of Span1sh 

and from tfme to time there has been 

interest in a Spanish net on 146.730 

but we have not been able to obtafn 

net controls. The purpose of the net 

would be: 

--learn some Span1sh &keep 

what you presently have. 

--learn some RADIO Spanish 

--plan some excursions down 

to Tijuana restaurants. (I 

have several suggestions.) 

--intice some XE hams to 

come up on the repeater 

XE2xyz will help from TJ 

It would be nice to have as a 

net control someone who is a native 

speaker although to run the net you 

would really only need a ·speak1ng 

acquaintance· with the language. 

The net would be run w1th a format 

sfmilar to the other 9pm Spec1a1 

Interest Nets (SINs) with the net 

control directing the net,util1zfng 

questions from the part icfpants, and 

answers from those with knowlege of 

the language. 

We have several 9pm spots open: 

Friday &Saturday evenings. The net 

could start out with the 1st Friday 

or Saturday of each month and expand 

to more time slots as needed or 

possibly someone has a suggestion 

for another language net to fit in 

the rest of the month. I know that 

many of you know other languages: 

Polish, German. Vietnamese. Tagalog, 

Fa rs 1. etc. Span1s h is the most 

common for our area and membership 

so 1 t might be the f1 rst one to 

start with although several members 

have expressed an interest in 

V1etnamm1ese. 

The question has been asked if 

PARC allows another language to be 

spoken on our repeaters and the 

answer has always been. YES. 

provided that you observe some 

common sense PARC rules and identify 

properly in ENGLISH: 

--for the present use only 

146.73 or 449.425 for a 

foreign language contact. 

--don't talk in the language 

for great lengths of time 

SCOPE-NOV'9Z CLUB MTG WED NOV 4th. 1930Hr. CARLSBAD SAFETY CENTER Pg. 11

NOY'92 

Put English wordsl phrases 

every so often so others 

know the QSO subject. 

--identify in English every 

couple of minutes. The FCC 

say every 10 minutes. PARC 

says more often 4 another 

language. People get upset 

when they don't know what 

is going on. 

--do not use the language to 

do business of any kind. 

--SHORT autopatches in some 

other language are ok. 

Larry-AB6LY's Thursday evening 

HAM HELP NET is helping San Diego 

hams with their Ham related 

problems. Almost every Thursday 

evening there are great discussions 

on antennas, where to find 

something, rigs, HT's, etc. 

Remember, you are invited to 

participate in this net even though 

you don't have a problem •• afterall, 

we need some 1ntell1gentanswers or 

different view points to help solve 

the problems brought up by other 

hams. Specific questions concerning 

Microwave or Packet probably should 

be taken to those SIG nets. Thanks

the privilege of serving as your 

president for this past year. I have 

been most fortunate to have the 

outstanding assistance of our Board 

of Directors, Committee Chairman. 

and the host of volunteers who 

chipped in to make things run well. 

A special thanks to stan. W9FQN for 

his years as your president and for 

producing what must rank as one of 

the best club newsletters in the 

nation. 

As usual, Dennis, N6KI. put on 

a great Pizza Bash to celebrate our 

winning Field Day in the SA class 

and taking the SANDARC trophy. Go 

Dennis! For those of you eligible 

who stayed home, you missed a great 

feast! 

Thanks to Larry. AB6LY, and his 

lovely wife Kay, for getting up at 

O-DARK-THIRTY, to set up the club 

booth at the Oceanside Swap Meet. 

There were fewer sellers than in 

October and we believe the number of 

buyers was down also. Swap meets are 

like the question. "which came 

first, the chicken or the egg?" To 

attract sellers you need buyers, and 

to attract buyers you need sellers. 

There were some really great 

bargains, e.g. a Yaesu FT-767 GX 

with 2 Mtr module and a Yaesu FT-763 

with all modules at prices well 

below market. One of the sellers had 

a gazillion bins of electronic parts 

at great prices. The rest of the 

swap meet 1s loaded with everything 

under the sun so it's a great place 

to do your Christmas shopping. Try 

to make it in December. 

Our partnership with Challenger 

Junior High School is g01ng well. 

See Frank's, KI6YG. comments 

elsewhere. Thanks to all who are 

participating. We need more 

volunteers to help these young 

people.

its not as easy or simple as it 

sounds. Art had to retune the 

cavities. repair the local mic 

circuit, remount the IDer on a card 

rack. make measurement of power 

output, install a PARC surplus 2716 

IDer chip that W9FQN had for a 

beacon project (W6NWG/B MT. PALOMAR 

which will be changed to W6NWG/R 

sometime soon) until the ordered 

replacement comes in, adjust the 

control board, and install the new 

crystals in their ovens. Art put in 

more time on the repeater in his 

garage than he did on the Sunday 

that he installed the repeater in 

the bunker. 

Art also spent many hours 

checking the isolation between the 

147.13 antenna and the 147.075 

antenna (>55db) where unwanted 

mixing could occur. Data was also 

taken measuring desense of the 

147.13 repeater under various 

conditions and it was determined 

that no or little desense was 

observed. -SK- 

In a few months we will 

probably announce that Mike-KC6KCQ 

will have installed a new 146.73 

repeater for the old 146.73 machine 

which will sound quite easy •• but 

again. this is just the tip of the 

iceberg. Countless hours will have 

gone into the construction of this 

new repeater by Mike (his 2nd one) 

and he will have consulted with 

John-WB6IQS and Jerry-WB6FMT many 

times over how the repeater is being 

put together. John is always 

scrounging up parts for our projects 

and Jerry takes care of the 

autopatch connections and 

interfaces. -SK- 

It is hard for many of our 

newer members to realize that trips 

to the mountain take a lot of 

preparation before working at the 

site and that installing a repeater 

is the least of our problems. 

Erik-KA6UAI in the past few 

months has traveled almost 700 miles 

working on the 147.130 repeater 

along with his technician. ~ 

WB6ZJC. who has worked many weekends 

on-Erik's repeater on his workbench. 

THANKS TO ERIK and JOHN FOR ALL OF 

THEIR EFFORTS. -SK

JERRY-WB6FMT. MIKE-KC6KCQ, ART 

KC6UQH. and PAUL-KB5MU for the hours 

of preparation that are made ·off"

-SK- 

We are also fortunate that we 

have new blood coming up to help 

with club projects: LARRY-AB6LY 

(SIMPLEX REPEATER) and TIM-KC6ZUC 

(PACKET PROJECTS). 

Larry has spent many hours 

connecting up an old Heathkit 

transceiver to a simplex audiorepeat 

black box which will allow us 

to put up a portable or emergency 

repeater in areas that our normal 

repeaters do not COver. This simplex 

repeater will repeat 16 seconds of 

voice ..and longer if we add some 

extra chips to it. As some of you 

probably remember, Larry used to run 

a radio repair shop in Oceanside 

before the Gulf War made a mess of 

his business. He is now back 1n the 

radio repair business and has 

already repaired several 2-meter 

rigs for club members. 

Tim is checking out the old 

PALOMAR W6NWG-l packet that served 

us so well for years on 145.050 so 

that it can also be used in 

emergency situations and as a range 

extender. Tim is also working on a 

packet control system for the 

mountain site that can "read" 

information from the site: 

temperature. wind speed. frequency. 

battery voltages. direction of 

transmitting stations, etc. -SK- 

If you have some technical area 

of expertise and would like to help 

with a club project, please contact 

W9FQN or WB6IQS. 

THANKS TO OUR TECHNICAL STAFF 

for their many hours of hard labor. 

We appreCiate your extensive 

knowledge and the many hours of work 

that you put in on club projects.

•• SITE OPS : Stan R. W9FQN 

Erik's 147.13 transistor 

failure is the only failure we have 

had on the 2-meter repeaters during 

the past year. All 2-meter repeaters 

check clean before their signals 

leave the bunker. It is true that we 

have had some antenna problems this 

past summer but they are slowly 

being cleaned up. 

The 449.425 repeater had a few 

bugs in the beginning but now seems 

to be working quite well although a 

"bug" shows up when it is running 

high power. Most of the problems we 

have been finding lately are 

connected with poor connections at 

the coax connectors: l)poor solder 

connections and/or 2)poor taping 

with water seeping into the coax. 

These are all death to a good 

repeater. 

The ~ repeater has been 

suffering from some "desense" 

problems from what appears to be a 

wondering signal up on Palomar 

Mountain which sweeps acrOss our 

input. Victor-KI6JM 1s looking into 

the problem for us. 

We would appreciate it if after 

making contact on 146.730 or 147.130 

if you would from time to time MOVE 

YOUR QSO OVER TO 147.075+ to check 

its operation and coverage. Its 

antenna is now in the lowest 

position on the PARC tower and was 

the antenna used by the 146.73 

repeater during the last week of 

October. Members are reminded that 

presently there is no autopatch on 

147.075 and this repeater requires a 

PL of 107.2Hz. The first 10 on the 

machine was W6NWG/B MT. PALOMAR (it 

was a "beacon" chip that W9FQN had 

for a future project). 

There is another repeater 

(private) on the 147.075 frequency 

from the LA area and there is really 

nothing that we can do about it 

other than to recommend that those 

of you with newer transceivers

should turn on your 107.2Hz "decode" 

switch so that you will not hear it 

on the frequency. The signal will 

still be there •• you just won't hear 

it. Our 147.075 frequency on Palomar 

Mountain is much stronger than the 

other 147.075 signal coming into 

SDCo so you probably will not hear 

it while our transmitter is on the 

air except during special weather 

patterns which cause ducting. In SO 

we hear their repeater S-2 to S-8 

while their users might hear us S-1 

to 2. The other repeaters on 147.075 

are not using a 107.2 PL on their 

input so your PL signals will not 

key them up but could cause 

interference if you are running lots 

of power so keep your power under 5 

watts if possible. Fortunately. the 

other 147.075 machines are not on 

the air much except for commute 

hours. 

Erik's 147.130 repeater does 

not have a PL on its output but it 

does try to pass YOUR PL through the 

repeater which sort of allows us to 

say that it does have a PL on its 

output •• but its that same old 

story, "garbage in - garbage outand 

his repeater many times does not 

·pass through q the PL with 

sufficient amplitude to activate 

many members PL decode function. The 

newer transceivers all have PL 

ENCODE-DECODE so please use it. 

If you hear a hum in the 

background of the W6NWG repeaters, 

the KA6UAI repeater. or the WA6IPD 

repeater, you are probably hearing 

the 107.2Hz PL tone that we are 

putting on their carriers so you 

don't have to listen to other 

repeaters on the frequency. 

You should have 146.175+, 

146.73-. 147.075+, and 147.13+ 

programmed into ADJACENT MEMORIES on 

your transceiver so that you can 

easily check activity on each of our 

repeaters. 

It has been suggested by some 

members that you refer to 147.075 as 

the "MIDDLE ONE or MID ONE", 146.73 

as the "DOWN ONE" and 147.13 as the 

.~M which fits in nicely with 

our previous designations •• and the 

NEXT ONE could be the "OTHER ONE" 

unless SOMEONE can come up with 

ANOTHER ONE. 

It is possible that amateurs in 

the San Diego area using the 

Catalina repeater (147.090) with 

poorer receivers might experience 

some difficulty when 147.075 is on 

the air since there would only be 

15kc difference between them and 

some receivers that are not very 

selective (input/IF) could pick up 

both repeaters at the same time. 

This would not be called INTERMOD 

but is due to THEIR receiver being 

BROAD (not selective). Another 

possible receiver problem would be 

at 147.060 (147.075-.015). DO NOT 

ENGAGE IN LONG CONVERSATIONS WITH 

AMATEURS WHO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH 

.075. Get the facts concerning THEIR 

interference problems, be polite. 

and get their name, phone number, 

and call letters to W9FQN. THEN GET 

OFF THE REPEATER if it appears they 

want to argue. New repeaters many 

times attract people out of the 

woodwork who want attention. ~ 

DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS! 

If your receiver is broad and 

is easily overloaded. you can try 

shielding your antenna from Palomar 

Mountain or if you have a beam, 

point it so that your Signal from 

the 147.075 repeater is weak (nulled 

out). Then tune to the other 

repeater to see if the problem has 

gone away. The 147.075 repeater has 

been checked and it IS CLEAN of 

unwanted radiation so we would 

expect anyone trying to work a 

repeater plus or minus 15kc from 

147.075 with a broad receiver front 

end would experience problems. At 

the W9FQN QTH I can "see" 147.075 

and 147.090 with my hand held 

running.1 and 1 watt respectively 

into a rubber duckie •• and I 

experience no overload problems with 

my base rig or with my HT even 

though I probably have one of the 

best shots at Palomar Mountain of 

any club member. (Alincos in both 

cases-Ed) 

We . are request ing that you 

COMPARE THE SIGNAL STRENGTHS of each 

of the our repeaters IN MARGINAL 

AREAS and report them to W9FQN: 

146.730(-}, 147.075(+), 147.130(-). 

and 449.425(-}. When taking readings 

in mobiles you will probably need to 

pull off the road to take your 

readings. Then move your car several 

feet to take readings again. Average 

your readings. If you can't give us 

precise readings, at least let us 

know which repeaters you think are 

doing the best in bad areas. By 

compairing the repeaters we can see 

which one(s) need more work. -SK- 

The club is looking for someone 

that can read a 2716 chip and/or 

burn a short new call sign program 

into it. -SK- ~ 

AUTO PATCHES

request an AUTOPATCH INFORMATION 

~ describing the codes used and 


sending a SELF ADDRESSED STAMPED 

ENVELOPE (SASE) to W9FQN (see 


&CITY or contact him at the next 

club meeting. The present access 

codes for all repeaters and areas 

served are listed on your address 

label ••• but you will probably need 

the info sheet to know how to use 

the repeater codes. -SK- 

Autopatch connections are 

active on 146.175(+), 146.73(-), 

147.130(+}, and 449.425(-}. There is 

no autopatch connection on 

147.075{+} at present but we intend 

to add a connection to the repeater 

early next year along with a 

"repeater" busy signal. -SK- 

Autopatch users are reminded 

that if you send the access code and 

do not get a dial tone (possibly you 

had a weak signal and not all three 

digits were received/decoded) that 

you need to issue a -I" to clear the 

computer for a re-try. If you don't, 

your second code will add in with 

the first code digits received and 

fill in the "missing" digits giving 

you an unacceptable access code or 

telephone number. ALWAYS - ALWAYS 

clear the computer with a "I" when 

you have ANY problem ••and try 

again. -SK- 

We have noted two cases of ar 

autopatch being "dumped" during a 

conversation and in one case it 

appears that the DTMF tone detector 

Pg. 6 EXEC MTG THUR. DEC 10th, 1900Hr, WA6YOO QTH SCOPE-DEC '92

chip was activated by the voice 

signal giving a false .," which shut 

down the patch. This could easily be 

eliminated by requiring a longer "'" 

(add a capacitor) or a 2-digit 

shutdown code which a voice could 

not activate. A single "I" might 

require that you hold the HI" button 

a little longer than normal. If this 

"falsing H is a problem. please let 

us know about it. 

The three autopatch centers in 

VSTA. MMSA. and LMSA were connected 

to battery backup systems several 

months ago and are fully functional 

during power outages. The autopatch 

distribution system on Palomar 

Mountain has now been connected to 

batteries for complete emergency 

operation. -SK 


(10-25)Mike-KC6KCQ connected the 

3300 AHr emergency battery system to 

the 449.425 repeater. Art-KC6KCQ 

turned a pulse generator and a 

oscilliscope into a TOR (Time Domain 

Reflectometer) to look at some of 

our problem coax. He also took 

Erik's repeater to Escondido after 

he found that it was only running 

several watts out. Erik picked up 

his repeater that evening to work on 

it. 

and Stan-W9FQN 

painted the roof of the freezer with 

a special vinyl paint which is used 

for the tops of trailers ($60/5gal). 

They also painted the top of the 

motor shed. Stan finished painting 

all of the outside plywood a light 

green and returned home later 1n the 

day to paint the top of the Taco 

Wagon which has several slow leaks 

in the roof which were observed 

during last winter's rains. 

Stan replaced a coax jumper at 

60' which had water in it (control 

antenna) and also helped Art string 

a new heliax run to the new 2m 

collinear which is to be used with 

the 147.075 repeater. The 146.73 

repeater was connected to this new 

antenna for test purposes (lowest 

position on the tower) and we 

immediately received reports of 

increased Signal strength which 

probably means that we have problems 

with some of th e coax used with the 

146.73 repeater. -SK 

(11-01)John-WB6IQS worked on 

the battery distribution system 

while Stan-W9FQN completed water 

proofing the new building: caulking, 

flashing around the wooded areas 

(that sounds interesting), etc. John 

·looked at the 449.425 repeater and 

adjusted its power so that the 

"strange" oscillation is gone. Stan 

painted the roof with flexible roof 

paint and constructed an equipment 

table for the new building. As soon 

as we get electricity in the 

building and battery power we will 

be able to remove four repeaters 

from the bunker relieving some of 

the congestions 1n that building. It 

was a beautiful Fall day on Palomar 

Mountain. -SK 

(11-01) Erik-KA6UAI and 

anonymous friend replaced the KA6UAI 

repeater on 147.13 after being off 

the mountain for a week. Power 

output has been greatly increased 

after finding a bad transistor in 

the final power amplifier stage. (It 

again stopped working again 11-02 in 

the afternoon.) 

(11-7) Erik found that the 

power supply circuit breaker had 

tripped and after resetting and 

reducing power the 147.13 repeater 

was back on the air. -SK 

(11-0S)Art-KC6UQH and ~ 

WB6IQS connected up the 147.075(-) 

(PL107.2) repeater to its new 

antenna and checked it for proper 

operation. Everything seemed normal 

at the time of installation. John, 

in his spare time, intal1ed a new 

control transceiver. 

Stan-W9FQN re-inforced the new 

Freezer building table, painted the 

table, and painted the generator 

shed. 

Joe-N6YMD and Stan re-inforced 

the Freezer building and made it 

waterproof for the coming winter 

although there are several more 

things that can be done to the 

building before the rain and snow. 

Joe worked on the coax and heliax 

junction box fixing it so it could 

be locked from the outside of the 

bunker. He also worked on the new 

emergency 45' crankup tower 

DEC'92 

installation so that we will be able 

to put up emergency antennas during 

the winter and not have to climb the 

SO' tower. There has also been some 

talk of putting a 10m transceiver 

back on the air from the repeater 

site. -SK 

(11-15) A busy but rewarding 

day at the repeater site: 

Dave-KC6YSO painted parts of 

the new building (freezer) and 

assisted the tower climbers. 

Victor-KI6IM helped cement in 

the eye bolts for the bunker coax 

(heliax) junction box so that it 

would be secure from vandals. He 

also turned out to be an excellent 

climber and worked in the afternoon 

as "high man" on the tower climbing 

team: 1)removing the 11.9db 450 

antenna which has problems. 2)retaping 

all connector junctions, and 

3)sorting out "live" and "dead" 

heliax runs. He also moved the 

146.73 repeater from the corner 

reflector up to the newer right hand 

4-bay at the top of the tower which 

Erik-KA6UAI abandoned several months 

ago in favor of the old (bought used 

in 1973) 4-bay on the left side of 

the tower. 

KC6UQH-Art installed the new 

pre-amp he constructed (no kit) in 

the 146.73 repeater, installed the 

new IDer chip in the 147.075 

repeater, checked PL tone levels in 

.075, and demonstrated to us all how 

heliax connectors need to be put on 

heliax. Art forced us to remove the 

heliax runs to the tower that were 

not working and through his efforts 

we ended up with all antennas and 

heliax runs being used on their 

proper repeaters. He repaired 

several heliax runs and we ended up 

with two spare 8.1db corner 

reflectors with heliax runs for 

emergency use during the winter. It 

looks as if we are in great shape 

for the winter. 

John-WB6IQS. as usual. had his 

fingers in everything: cementing. 

helping with the new preamp. 

providing tools and test equipment. 

testing old batteries. and assisting 

with the testing of heliax runs.

This work party finished up all 

of the main projects that had to be 

done before the cold weather sets

YOUR SHACIC 11 1!l 

Nearly every week. at some 

pOint. somewhere on the bands. I'll 

hear some frustrated ham talking 

about his grounding problems. Maybe 

it's getting a good ground plane for 

his vertical. or just trying to get 

the gear in his shack grounded. 

That's what this series is about. 

getting a good ground on your shack 

equipment. 

There are several good reasons 

to get a good ground on your rig. 

safety being of prine consideration. 

It's not so common today with the 

new solid state rigs. but if you 

still run -glow in the dark- equipment. 

like a big linear etc •• you 

need to be concerned with the possibility 

of a short to case. Believe 

me. there's enough juice in there to 

seriously light up your life. 

Specially if some idiot. (not you of 

course). clipped off the safety 

DEC'92 

prong on the AC plug. Hey, it's 

there for a reason! Don't ever clip 

that little bugger off. 

If you don't have 3-prong 

outlets. rewire your house. OK. you 

say it's not practical. At least get 

one of those adapters and don't cut 

off the wire , •• hopefully it's 

grounded. 

Another good reason is lightning. 

You want to make sure if you 

do get a strike. the energy has a 

good path to round. Truthfully, if 

you get a direct hit. your rigs a 

goner. At least the energy will have 

a path to ground. rather than jumping 

from your rig to a water pipe 

in your wall and starting your house 

on fire. In a case of a nearby 

strike however. it might just save 

that shack full of gear. Remember. 

that lightning doesn't have to be a 

direct hit. When it strikes. it sets 

up a huge electromagnetic field that 

can. and will. induce voltages 1n 

nearby conductors such as your 

antenna. feedline etc.. Even a 

strike a mile a way can cause a 

voltage on your system. Give it a 

good way to discharge. rather than 

through your body when you grab the 

microphone. 

Now. how do we get this perfect 

ground? Well. we don't get a 

-perfect- ground. but we can come 

close with a little planning and 

some. (here it comes). work. A lot 

depends on local soil conductiv1ty. 

how far to the grounding point and 

cosmetics. After all you do have to 

live there too! 

First off. it is important to 

make your grounding point as close 

to the shack as possible. To get a 

good bond with earth. you want to 

get the resistance of this connection 

as low as you can. Try to 

keep distance short. and the conductor 

as large as practical. Copper 

pipe works best. If not. at least 

use copper strap, 2 inch minimum. 

You can get strap at most electrical 

supply houses. 

To connect the eqUipment 

itself, use the braid from RG-8U 

coax. Again, keep it as short as 

possible. Make sure that each piece 

of equipment has its own connection
