1 December 2015 QUA CVARC A Newsletter for the Conejo Valley Amateur Radio Club SUBJECT Contents PAGE President s Message Tim Wheeler-K6POI The Conejo Valley Amateur Radio Club is not alone among Not-For- Profit organizations with the problem of selecting effective leadership.

What s even less motivating, perhaps, is that we are forbidden by the same law that licenses us from having any and all pecuniary interest in what we do! The good news is that social researchers of satisfaction and motivation in the workplace have found that it is not the promise of monetary reward that drives us but, instead, it s a set of very personal ambitions and values that fuels us much more forcefully. They are summarized into three categories The opportunity for achievement, To have a positive effect on one s environment, And to improve conditions for the world around us. Anyone who has experienced selfless volunteerism will tell you that Giving and Receiving are directly proportional an increase of one creates an increase for the other. Therefore, I applaud wholeheartedly those who do step up to serve any post for the CVARC. Continued on Page 2 Holiday Party There s still time to join in! Michelle for reservations! Mark-KK6IKX and Michelle-KK6RBW (kk6rbw@arrl.net) Don't miss out on our 2015 Holiday Party this Thursday, December 10th, 2015 at the Best Western Posada Royale Hotel & Suites in Simi Valley near Tierra Rejada Rd. and Madera Rd.!

2 President s Message, continued from Page 1 The Conejo Valley Amateur Radio Club has just elected a very smart group of officers poised to keep the CVARC operating in good mental and fiscal health. They have responded to their inner voices that move them to achieve a positive effect on the CVARC and the world around us. Please treat them to your support and cooperation. Be thankful for them! Love them! Buy them a beer! OK, that last one was over the top, but you get the idea Appreciation is welcomed, and, SPOILER ALERT, it can be contagious. Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to serve CVARC as its President! It was a challenge that s caused growth for me, certainly, and the club, hopefully. Two vital instruments for CVARC s growth are a new Newsletter and a new Website to keep us current, to encourage new members, and to nurture established ones. Thanks, Cheers and Be Well, Tim K6POI Breaking News! CVARC Elects Board Members for 2016 Thank you to the outgoing board members, welcome to the new board.

3 First Annual Hugh Bosma Legacy Award Winner Announced The winner of the first annual Hugh Bosma Legacy Award has been announced. In keeping with the spirit and memory of Hugh Bosma (SK), Adrian Jarrett-K6KY was nominated by the board of directors and voted as the first to win the new award. The award is given in recognition of the special contributions a club member has made to amateur radio and CVARC through a commitment to teaching, mentoring and community service. Those of you who know Adrian can agree that he meets and exceeds the intent of the award. Those of you yet to meet Adrian will find that he is friendly, approachable and knowledgeable in many areas of ham radio and electronics. Do yourself a favor and put Adrian high on your Elmer list. Adrian s name has been engraved in the first position on the Hugh Bosma Legacy Award plaque which will be on display at club meetings. Congratulations Adrian! CVARC President Tim Wheeler-K6POI presents Adrian Jarrett-K6KY with the first Hugh Bosma Legacy Award >Are your radios charged? >Do you have the fittings needed to connect to various sources of power? >Do you have the adaptors needed to switch between different types of antenna connectors? QUA CVARC 3
4 Members Have Done The club meeting of November 19, 2015 was preceded by dinner with the guest speaker at the First Street Café in Simi attended by more than a dozen members. Later at the meeting, the Hugh Bosma Legacy Award winner was announced. Then the election of the new club officers took place. See the notices of both these activities in this newsletter. The evening was topped off by Eric Christensen-K6EJC from HRO who brought and showed us every kind of radio and gadget that any ham would love to have regardless of needing it or not.

5 COMING SOON...To a Website Near You Ben-W6JWZ and Stu-AG6AG are excited about the rollout of the new club website at CVARC.ORG which will be live and direct at the end of the month ready for the New Year. The beta test site is already in place as they test and tweak it to a new look with updated and timely information as well as things we need to know about the club and activities. Ben-W6JWZ will be the guest speaker at the January 21st meeting and will discuss the new website and other social media services where members can stay current with each other and the club. License Class Announced ZaK-N6PK and Tim-K6POI have announced that the next radio licensing class will start in January for five Saturdays which will focus on the General Class test. (January 16, 23, 30, February 6, 13) Classes will be at the Community Room of the East County Sheriff s Station beginning January 16, 2016, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Training ends the weekend of the VE testing session at the same location February 14. Follow up with ZaK-N6PK, n6pk@arrl.net for more information. TRW Swap Meet to Stay! As noted on the TRW radio club site and confirmed by the swap meet director, the TRW Swap Meet will continue to operate and remain at it's present location for the "foreseeable future." The monthly Mecca for hams is staying at its well known site in Redondo Beach on Aviation Blvd. near Rosecrans Ave. The threats of moving or closing have been held off and it s business as usual on the last Saturday of the month. Never been or haven t been there in a while? Organize a ham field trip and go. You never know what you will find. It s probably somewhere in the FCC rules and regulations that you have to go at least once a year or more often. Always the last Saturday of the month, rain or shine, 7 a.m to 11:30 a.m. Possible Winter Mini Field Day We need to get out and test our radios, power supplies, and hasty antennas under field conditions. When the rest of the country is under three feet of snow, we are under sunny skies and have no excuse not to be out of the house. The new Operations Coordinator, Ben-W6JWZ, is talking about organizing a mini field day in late January, maybe Saturday January 23. See him and discuss your ideas about this event. Have a Name Tag? Do you have a CVARC name tag? Wear it. Need a name tag? See the treasurer, Christian-K6CAY. There is usually a pile of them to be picked up at one of the back tables during a club meeting. Wearing your name tag and call sign at a meeting makes it a lot easier to strike up a conversation and have an eyeball QSO with someone you met on the radio but may not know otherwise. Wearing your name tag and call sign at a club event identifies you as a club member, a licensed ham, and an ambassador of good will for the club. Some clubs charge a friendly fine to members who do not wear their name tags at a meeting and the fine is then turned into one of the raffle prizes. Don t give the name tag police any ideas, we already have enough regulations, wear your name tag. QUA CVARC 5
6 Wanted Navy type flameproof hand key. Norm-AB6ET, N6ZE s Ramblings On ARRL SSB November 2015 Sweepstakes, Antennas, & Propagation For Newbies & Oldies Too! My excuses for a minimal effort and score in the ARRL s November 2015 SSB Sweepstakes were due to travel, family commitments, and onset of a cold. However, my 3.5 hour effort on Sunday afternoon of the contest period yielded some data which could be of use to local CVARCers. I use only a single standard multi-mode 100 watt HF transceiver. My HF antennae are quite minimal as compared to many other hams with access to good antenna farms & acreage! For the 40 meter band, I use a half wave NVIS dipole, lying on the ridge line of my one story ranch house, about 17 feet above ground level; it happens to be fed with elderly RG-58 coax. For the 20, 15, and 10 meter bands, my skyhook is an old Cushcraft R-5 vertical: it does NOT need radials for proper operation. Although conditions were not particularly good, I made 92 contacts without too much effort. 10 meters was virtually useless because the MUF barely made it up to 15 meters. When doing HF contesting from home, I normally try to use the highest frequency bands possible and avoid calling CQ. Hints: I tune up the band on 20, 15, & 10 meters and call stations that I figure that I can work without too much difficulty. If the band has lots of activity, joining a pileup of callers trying to work a domestic station is not usually productive because of the time involved. However working Yukon or Labrador Sections can be worth the effort. Tuning in USB signals from the low end of the band to the upper end of the band works well. Conversely, 40 LSB meter signals are easiest to tune by tuning from the top of the band downward. At 1 PM PST, no contesters were heard on 40 meters, although some nets were in progress. 10 meters was almost devoid of signals, but I heard lots of activity on both 15 meters & 20 meters. I made my first 40 meter contact with KV6O in CO at about 2 PM PST. About 2:45 PM, I worked a couple of AZ stations on 40 meters, but the majority of my QSOs were still on 15 meters & 20 meters. By 3 PM PST, I did not make any more QSOs on 15 meters, but 20 meters & 40 meters provided a bunch of QSOs & new Sections until I stopped operating at 5 PM PST. Note that local sunset occurred at 4:45 PM PST. Boldface log entries indicate QSOes that were accomplished after sunset for one or both stations. Conclusions: Small stations can participate in HF contests with decent success! By briefly studying propagation paths by examining location/frequency/time paths which are available in many i-phone apps, it is possible to learn which paths, to which places, are open at any time during a contest. By being familiar with characteristics of HF propagation, you will be ready to make long distance QSOs if/when the big one occurs. N6ZE s ARRL SSB Nov Sweepstakes Log follows: QUA CVARC 6
