1986 - Palomar Amateur Radio Club

oral communications to the effect that tests will be made.
CALIFORNIA--THE LAND OF FRUIT AND NUTS: We occasionally have jammers or
the repeater. These nuts provide us with the opportunity to test ou_
skills in hunting them down. If you have 2M direction finding equipment,
including rotatable beam antennas, please send me your call, phone number,
latitude and longitude (to the nearest tenth of a minute). We will try to
include it on the next published map. Use the map in this issue as a
master and run off 10 copies at your local copy shop. Use different copies
to record the different types of recurring interference. Label each vector
with time and date. When we get some interesting areas, we will stake them
out and start working with local maps. Good luck es 73.

OCTOBER CLUB MEETING
At the October club meeting our guest speaker was Fried Heyn, WA6WZO,
ARRL Southwestern Division Director, who presented the Club with a Certificate
of Cooordination from the Two-meter Spectrum Management Association
(TASMA) showing that W6NWG/R has been coordinated on 146.130-146.730 mHz
since September, 1972. Fried also brought word from TASMA that KOJPK has
replied to TASMA's requirement for a change in antenna to protect the area
to the south (San Diego County, etc.) and would be running coordination
tests. Club members were asked to identify the repeaters (other than
W6NWG/R) heard on 146.730 mHz and to log callsigns of stations heard on
those repeaters. Fried then presented two excellent video tapes, one "A
conversation with Don Wallace, W6AM" and the other Part 2 of "Hams in
Space". The minutes of the previous meeting and the treasurer's report
were read and approved. W9FQN reported that 40% of the membership had
responded to his letter asking for donations to buy the discounted note on
the Club's mountaintop repeater site. WI6B reported that the Club had
already taken in enough money through donations and the sale of the Amateu
Radio Commemorative Stamp pins to payoff $5,000 on the note; and that i~~
all the remaining pins were to be sold at $5 each, the note could be paid
