1992 - Palomar Amateur Radio Club

DEC'92
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.

RECOGNITION
Joe-W6HLB for directing the
club to a 1800 RPM 5kw generator
that Osborne Koehlert-WA6AJO had
stored away •• now if we only had a
motor to drive it. Possibly
something that could be converted to
propane. Besides generating 110VAC
it has a 35 volt winding at 20A. Joe
has a lot of pictures of Field Days
past showing their sites and
r
lKW
transmitters. Hope to see some of
them in February when we celebrate
our 57th anniversary.

There are many GUO THINGS going
on 1n the club and with club
members. Pse feed this information
to ur editor for possible
publication even if there is only a
little club connection. A post card
or a note handed to me at meetings
should do it. I cannot promise that
it will be printed immediately •• but
it will probably be used sometime in
the near future on a ·space
available- basis.
Do you want to thank some club
member for helping you or do you
know something of interest about a
club member? Send it to your editor.

The SCOPE has a column called
"Work Parties" and one can see that
Art-KC6UQH took the 147.075 repeater
up to the hill and installed it in
the club's bunker. Unfortunately,
