<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">To
Our Wonderful SCIRA Members, September
21, 2014<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
board would like to take a few minutes to give an update on the happenings of
SCIRA Inc., and to thank you for your support! We truly value the time, effort
and donations you put into making things happen. We also appreciate your use of
the linked repeaters. Your everyday use of the repeaters allows us to keep the
frequencies open for use during emergencies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">As
always we have multiple items going on at the same time. The Lord’s blessings
come in bunches and this past year has been especially bountiful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Some
of you will recall that early in the year we were being plagued by interference
with another repeater on the 445.160 Mhz frequency. Around mid-year that
interference was resolved when, through the generous donation of a member, we
were able to acquire the Contractors Point repeater that was causing the
interference. That repeater is now part of our linked network.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">In
addition to the new repeater, we have installed WinLink Gateway stations at the
BCS and at the homes of Bruce Koyle and Tom Thomas. We have also installed
digipeaters at Eagle Tower, Snow Peak and the Los Angeles and San Diego
storehouses. We are working on additional gateways in Anaheim, Claremont,
Garden Grove, Glendale and Redlands and hope to have them operational in the
near future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">We
have created a "Celly" network to allow quick messaging to the ERC network
through your cell phone. We are using "Celly" as a secondary check in the
second week of each month.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">We
have created an ERC Disaster Reporting Form "Live" link on GoogleDocs to allow "live" reporting of incident conditions to Area Authorities and Salt Lake. This
form allows entry of general and specific (not confidential) information
regarding status as well as photos and requests for and offers of assistance
and can be updated and viewed by several persons concurrently.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">We
are currently pursuing a repeater installation in the Barstow area at the 6300 foot
level on Mount Ord and a second repeater installation in the vicinity of Mount
Ariel. The addition of these two would provide much needed coverage in the high
desert and Fresno areas. As with all the improvements, these installations will
require time and money.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">We
have also been blessed with a source of relatively low-cost, relatively new,
long-life, AGM batteries to replace the aging (deteriorating) batteries at San
Diego, Snow Peak and Los Angeles, but as usual; funding issues are slowing the
acquisition.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">All
of the radio gear that was previously located at Colton has been migrated to
the BCS at Mira Loma and we operated from there in October 2013 and again this
year for the ShakeOut.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">With
some considerable effort on the part of our president and several others the
links are operating about as smoothly as can be expected. We appreciate your
feedback when the links are operating at less than optimum.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

Visit the following website and download the free Echomac Software now!<br /><br />http://echomac.sourceforge.net/<br /><br />It took me literally about 60 seconds to install it and then 60 more seconds to connect for the very first time. No issues with my wireless router either. This same process took me HOURS on my old PC.<br /><br />Once installed look up our call sign W6CTR and connect. We look forward to talking with you on the air soon!<br /><br />73s<br />AaronAaronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13672140525428611175noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4687063063643016381.post-34578134046680431122009-11-24T06:27:00.000-08:002009-11-24T06:29:08.027-08:00Newly Updated SCIRA, Inc.

My family and I did some radio testing today of Eagle<br />Tower's coverage. <p>Equipment used: Comet SBB-7 antenna and a Kenwood D-710A @ 50 watts. <p>We were successful at hitting Eagle Tower as far south as HWY 111 and<br />Portola Ave intersection in Palm Desert. <p>Also as far East as Monterey Ave Off ramp & 10 FWY. I suspect it will<br />go farther too. <p>Also portions of Rancho Mirage. <p>And as far north as the Desert Hot Springs Ward Building! <p>That's pretty incredible. I didn't think this would be possible. <p>We talked with Craig (KF6ZAF) for most of the drive. Pretty clear. <p>We would love to hear back from you too!! <p>Aaron K6AMS <p><br />Sent from my iPhone. <p>Visit my Blog! <a href="http://www.k6ams.com/">www.k6ams.com</a></p>Aaronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13672140525428611175noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4687063063643016381.post-18277525106139628672009-10-24T10:00:00.000-07:002009-10-26T12:28:15.378-07:00Eagle Tower Dedicated by Elder John C.

Eagle Tower Repeater is now operational high on top of Eagle Tower.<br /><br />We've still got a lot of behind the scenes work to do on the repeater. The coax needs to be cut to a shorter length, battery backup needs to be installed, Pre-amp and our link antenna for Snow Peak isn't up yet but will be as soon as we can. It's amazing how many HOURS it takes to get projects like this done. Please feel free to use Eagle Tower Repeater anytime you like.

We appreciate the work these three have done for SCIRA in<br />making our repeater group what it is today. Thank You Mark, Joe and<br />Jim!<br /><br />Mike Sorensen, KI6HWQ, one of our Members at Large has volunteered to<br />take Mark's place as Secretary for the remainder of the term.<br /><br />We need three new Members at Large including a repeater specialist. If<br />you have a desire to serve with us, we would love to have you join the<br />Board. The yearly voting takes place at our annual meeting in<br />November. For those wishing to volunteer please respond to me by<br />email or phone by June 16th.<br /><br />On Saturday, May 30th, Jim Dowdle, Doug Kunz and myself went up to<br />Snow Peak to install our new repeater. It is now on the air. The<br />frequency is 445.160 -- Pl 151.4. We still have some work to do. We<br />will go back up to add equipment and make some adjustments the last<br />Saturday of June.<br /><br />We also have a new repeater working in Running Springs on 449.540 --<br />Pl 151.4 It will be linked to our Snow Peak repeater in the near<br />future. Eventually this repeater will be on top of our Eagle Tower<br />once that is completed.<br /><br />Second to answer some of your inquiries regarding the frequency<br />change:<br /><br />We are currently using 440 UHF. SCIRA is third on the TASMA waiting<br />list for a frequency on 2 meters.
