Re: Event: 10M Local Net 1600 PDT 28.395 USB - Sunday, February 9, 2025
#cal-reminder
Heads up that I have a bad case of vertigo and will not be driving to Poinsettia Pavilion today. The vertigo started yesterday, and thankfully is a lot better today but I still shouldn't be driving.
I will try and operate 10M from my house but I know I don't have good coverage there.? Hopefully some of the other regular 10M folks with bettery?'ears' can act as net control.
Thanks, Dave AI6VX

Hi All,
Just dropped a new video in the "Testing Radios. Radio Output Tests And Results." Series. This is a group of videos that cover radio tests with a new compact video format...
Here is a link to the new video that covers the Yaesu FT-60R:
And for future reference or sharing with others, here is the link to the playlist:
Let me know if you like the new format of multiple videos to cover subjects...

New Video. First of a Series
Hey all,
So I wanted to try something different. I'm going to start doing radio testing videos. This video is the explanation of the setup so the actual radio tests make sense.
I figure doing it this way reduces the length if the videos considerably!
I'll be releasing the first radio test soon...

Ventura Marathon 2025 - need another SAG driver
?
Thanks to all who have signed up to work the event.? The response has been enthusiastic and at this point we are fully staffed.? Due to a recent drop out we are in need of an additional SAG driver.??? You would need a vehicle equipped with a mobile radio (dual band is preferred).? We can provide an APRS tracker and mag-mount antenna if?you need one.? A bike rack is also a plus.
?
SAGS will transport Lead Bike 1 and Chase Bike 1 to Half Start, Lead Bike 2 and Chase Bikes 2 and 3 to Full Start, deliver APRS trackers to Full and Half Starts, move errant runners to correct starting locations, deliver T-shirts and Early Bird sweatshirt/gift certificates to Aid Stations, transport drop out runners to Finish area, and otherwise act as our mobile eyes and ears (i.e. our cavalry) out there on the race course.? Each SAG vehicle will carry a small crate of supplies (pick up from and return to Race Supplies near Net Control).? There is a custom Google Map available which includes the route, aid station locations, mile markers, etc. which can be loaded onto a smart phone or tablet using Google Maps.??
?
That said, it's a long day....starting at 0430 (Zero Dark Early) and finishing around 1:30 or 2:00 in the afternoon when all the runners are in.? But it's fun.....just ask Stu? AG6AG.
?
Let me know if you are interested.? If you have any questions please feel free to either email me or call me at 805-559-9314
?
Thanks and 73,
?
