OFFICIAL CLUB BADGES are available from John Tentor, W60LQ. Unfortunately,<br />
he does require money and also feels it only fitting that you<br />
provide him with your name and call sign if you want them on your very<br />
own badge - like the big guys have.<br />
ADS & MATERIAL FOR SCOPE to P.O.Box 73, Vista, CA 92083-0030. Deadline<br />
is normally Monday of the week two weeks before the club meeting.<br />

VOLUNTEER EXAMINERS PROGRAM<br />
At the November session, we tested eight applicants, with four<br />
successes. Two of the four were: Joe, WA1CSO, attaining Advanced; and<br />
Bill, KB6JWM, achieving Technician. Our sincere congratulations to Joe<br />
and to Bill. Each of these two hams could tell a special story involving<br />
their respective concerted efforts to upgrade.<br />
Our examiner team consisted of W6YYV, W6DEY, NYIE, N6KI, W6TFB, WA6KZN,<br />
and K6HAV.<br />
The C-64/128 computer program we had hoped to use for the written<br />
portion of the FCC licensing exams (i.e., for Element 3) was not used,<br />
and we did the testing the old-fashioned way. We'll try to iron out the<br />
bugs and use the computer method of testing for the the written tests<br />
after the first of the year.<br />

THREE REPEATERS, all W6NWG/R, are owned and operated by the <strong>Club</strong>. One<br />
has an input of 146.130 mHz and an output of 146.730 mHz. Input for<br />
another is 444.425 mHz and output is 449.425 mHz. The third is a packet<br />
radio digipeater on 145.050 mHz. All are on the <strong>Club</strong>'s property on Mount<br />
<strong>Palomar</strong> at about 5,600'; and are open repeaters for club members and<br />
occasional and transient users. Repeater control operators are: KB6AI,<br />
W9FQN, K6HAV, WA6KZN, KB5MU, K6ROR, WQ6V.<br />
THE CLUB'S POLICY REGARDING INTERFERENCE ON THE REPEATERS IS to IGNORE<br />
IT! Don't give the jammer what he or she craves - notice and attention.<br />
Carryon your QSO or sign off or move to simplex, but do NOT acknowledge<br />
the crazies. At the same time, try and hear the interfering signal on<br />
the input of the repeater and, if posssible, determine the direction from<br />
which it is coming.<br />
DONATE IT TO THE CLUB if you can't sell it or aren't up to hauling it<br />
to the flea markets. The <strong>Club</strong> will sell it and put the money in the<br />
Equipment Fund to buy that new repeater, antenna, feedline or generator.<br />
Contact any club officer and he will gladly rid you of your surplus TS<br />
940S or KWM-380.<br />
