SEP'91 SCOPE you want as long as you give credit to THE PALOMAR AMATEUR RADIO CLUB. Inc., and author(s). """""""""""""""""" ", COR R E C T ION S ", AUGUST SCOPE: Field Day pg 9: 6.327 were the QSO pts in '91 and the total number of CW-Phone QSO's were 4.422. SK pg 3: due to an error in the adjustment of my bi-focals late at night while looking at the alphabetical club member listing. N6YMD, Joe lepine's name got typed in instead of WA6MYC. Al Levon. Joe was at the August meeting and assured us all that -the rumors of his passing were greatly exaggerated." Received a nice card from Mercedes levon thanking the club for the friendship shown to her husband by PARC members. """""""""""""""""" < ARRL SECTION MANAGER's REPORT ) de Art Smith, W6INI DEPT of FORESTRY's RED FLAG PATROL How did the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) become involved with the California Department of Forestry's Red Flag Patrol? At a SANDRA meeting in June, 1976, a program was presented by the San Diego Ranger Unit Fire Prevention Chief, Doug Allen. Thfs was CDF's fntroduction to Amateur Radio and vice versa. Chief Allen pOinted out the need for volunteers with reliable radio communications to patrol critical areas during Red Flag Alerts. The Red Flag Patrol is a fire prevention program which 1s implemented when weather conditions present an EXTREME FIRE HAZARD in the wildland areas usually occuring during Santa Anas when hot weather, low humidity, high northeasterly winds, and low fuel mOisture exist. Patrol objectives are to: (1) ident ify and report situations that may cause fires, (2)serve as a deterrent to arsonists. (3)report fires in their incipient stages, and (4)after reporting, extinguish very small fires. The occurrence of fires, whether major or minor, do not necessarily signify the need for Red Flag Patrols. It is determined by severe weather conditions. Patrol routes are in the Ramona, LakeSide, Harbison Cyn, Alpine, Fallbrook, Escondido and Valley Center areas. A week after the June meeting, the first call came to assist CDF with speCial Red Flag Patrols in the Santee/lakeside area after a series of arson fires had plagued the area for several days. For four days, with temperatures over 100 degrees, operators covered the area by ground and air. Fires continued intermittently thoughout the period, but on the fourth day, Bob Frye, W6JWU. spotted the arsonist. CDF fire prevention officers immediately surrounded the area and arrested the culprit. Since then eight to ten patrol routes have been covered regularly during each fire season. If you like action. this program is for you. Volunteers must be over 18 years of age and will be registered in the Volunteers in Prevention (VIP) program. When assigned by a CDF official to Red Flag Patrol. they become volunteer employees of the State of California with workers' compensation protection. Patrol vehicles must have two persons - driver and observer. Only one needs to be a licenssed Amateur Radio operator (Tech or higher) with 2-meter or 220MHz 25w mobile in vehicle (no HTs!). The second person may be unlicensed or hold a Novice Class license. Here's a chance to get your spouse or a friend involved with you. Classroom and/or onj-the-job training is provided. In the past, the headquarters stations (at Monte Vista) required the assigned operators to bring their own equipment. Recently the Amateur Radio Club of El Cajon provided a 2-meter radio and SANDRA a 220 radio which could remain at the headquarters facilitating operation. The coming fire season is expected to be severe and it takes a good many operators to sustain operations over several days. There's room for youl Contact me at 273-1120 or on 146.265(-) at 1900 Sundays to Sign up. """""""""""""""""" "" TECHNICAL / HAM HELP "" """""""""""""""""" The ARRL suggests that you connect all 12vdc equipment using MOlEX series 1545 connectors so that VHF/UHF equipment can be changed easily. This connector is rated at 25v @ 8A using '18 wire or greater. Install a fuse as near to the battery as possible. RADIO SHACK stores carry the connector, '274-222 at 99 cents/pair. R F I Eliminate RFI and ground loops with copper flashing as a ground buss. Also copper braiding from RG 213 or RG-8X works well. Each item gets its own SHORT ground strap. Use brute force A.C. line filters. Wrap eight turns of A.C. line cord around Amidon 'FT-240-1240 ferrite core or equilvant. Use A.C. surge protectors with metal-oxidevariators and .22 microfarad capacitor(s). Use a low pass filter before the amplifier and after the amplifier. Pl259 connectors must be soldered. Use balun to reduce coax radiation. Do not overdrive your amplifier and use only the power needed to maintain the contact.
