the La Mesa Communication<br />
Center and if you calIon an<br />
autopatch that is hard wired<br />
in San Diego it will go to<br />

location in the county, but<br />
go to the geographic area<br />
where the phone line is<br />
wired.<br />
All 9-1-1 calls from<br />
Cellular telephone users,<br />
mobile or hand held, go the<br />
California Highway Patrol<br />
(CHP) and routed to the<br />
proper agency from there.<br />
Remember to stay on the air<br />
until released by the CHP<br />
operator. 9-1-1 calls from<br />
Cellular telephones are<br />
FREE.<br />
Do not call the phone<br />
company operator to report a<br />
9-1-1 emergency. The phone<br />
company operator can not<br />
dial 9-1-1 for you.<br />
Stations using the<br />
autopatch for 9-1-1 calls<br />
may prolong the autopatch<br />
timer by depressing the °A"<br />
key on your TTP for 1/2<br />
second every two minutes<br />
during your transmission to<br />
the 9-1-1 operator. In this<br />
way you will not "time out"<br />
during your emergency call.<br />
This feature only works.<br />
for 9-1-1 emergency calls. '<br />

with HAM STATION RELAY along<br />
with the WA6IPD autopatch.<br />

Dave-WB9RKN reports ,.<br />
that in a recent AMSAT<br />
Journal that W6NWG placed #3<br />
in the united states in the<br />
AMSAT Field Day Satellite<br />
competition which goes great<br />
with our #1 in Class 5A and<br />
#6 out of all classes. Many<br />
thanks to Paul-KB5MU, Roy<br />
WB9RKN, Butch-KC6VEE, and<br />
others for their great FD<br />
efforts. Without them we<br />
would certainly not have<br />
been #1 in class SA.<br />
N4IFD scored 848<br />
points for 2nd place and the<br />
North Shores ARC in San<br />
Diego, K6HAI, was #1 with<br />
960 points and received the<br />
AMSAT plaque. We understand<br />
that North Shores club has<br />
had a lot of practice in<br />
setting up portable<br />
Satellite stations for Field<br />
Days and demonstrations and<br />
had most of the bugs worked<br />
out of their station before<br />
the contest. They worked<br />
most of the satellites while<br />
W6NWG only worked a couple<br />
of the birds. We were also<br />
hindered with I-210m<br />
stations blocking out the<br />
10m band I imi ting its use<br />
for satellite conmunications.<br />
As mentioned before,<br />
it was a group effort:<br />
Novices/Tech, SSB (Phone),<br />
OW (Morse code), and<br />
satellite. Everyone needs<br />
to be complimented for their<br />
extrodinary effort which<br />
resulted in the best showing<br />
