SEPTEMBER, 1974
PRESIDENT: DICK WAGNER, WA6SCV. OCEANSIDE VICE PRESIDENT: BURR CHAMBLESS, WA6VYD. OCEANSIDE SECRETARY: GENE GOBS, W6ARN, OCEANSIDE TREASURER: J. ALBERT "MONEYBAGS" CHURCH, K6SLA, VISTA EDITOR (YOU'VE OOTTA BE KIDDING!): RALPH CROSSMAN, K6HAV. VISTA
--~-------------------------------~------------------- -------------------------Scope newal or renewal ie $2.25 per year. Make checks payable to the Palomar Radio Club and mail to the above address, or hand the loot to J. Albert at the Club meeting. (He's hurting after paying for the picnic prizes!) The price of the Scope subscription is included in the repeater subscription dues.
Help Keep J. Albert Moneybags off of the relief rolls! When you new or re-new your membership in ARRL, do it via PRC and we get a half a buck of your ill-gotten loot for the Club and it won't cost you any more. Make your check payable to the Palomar Radio Club; and send it, with your renewal card to the above address. $7.50 for each year newed or renewed. Send life membership dough directly to ARRL since they won't split it with us (CHEEP, CHEAP, CHEAP).
------------.--~-------------------------------------- -------------------------THE SEPTEMBER MEETING WILL BE HELD AT 1930, WEDNESDAY, THE 4th (OF SEPTEMBER - YOU EXPECTED SOMETHING ELSE, MAYBE?) IN GLENDALE FEDERAL SAVINGS & LOAN AT THE CORNER OF EAST VISTA WAY AND AN ZA IN EVER· LOVELY VISTA. THE PROGRAM FOR THE EVENING WILL BE PRESENTED BY TED HUNTER, W6PJE. ADDITIONALLY, PAGES 3 & 4 O}" THE NEWLY APPROVED CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS WILL BE PASSED OUT TO ALL YOU CARD-CARRYING CLUB MEMBERS WHO ARE SMART ENOUGH TO RECOGNIZE THE FACT.
-------~-------------------------------------~-------- -------------------------The August Flea Mart was such a Bucce B s that the one for September has been canceled. The next Flea Mart will be on the first Saturday in October to avoid conflict with Labor Day, football, and WA6SCV's hunting trip to Utah. Flea Marts will be held in October, December, and that grand old favorite, February, despite announced plans to the contrary. Anyway, PAY ATTENTION! No 1M! no Flea Mart in September.
The August meeting of the PRC was a rousing success. The best and the biggest picnic to date. A grand group turned out, with folks from as far away as Fountain Valley - or was it Dallas? '- (W6ABO) and San Diego (K6SQ and W6S0, among others). The picnic site was very good except for the Unear arrangement of the benches, which sort of ~pread us out along the creek. W A6SCV won the Y & C freq. counter (and a committee is already studying possible charges on which to impeach - or impair .. him). WA6SVN won the Atlas 180 and WA6AEZ the Swan FM-2X. Coax was won by WB6ZEQ (who didn't even show up) and by W6AP. Ladies' prizes were won by Mrs. Marygold. Mrs. Holzenberg. Mrs. Tiburski, and Mrs. Chambless. My usually reliable sources couldn't come up with the name of the fifth ladies' prize winner. Sorry 'bout that. It was good to see such PRC old timers as W6QP, K6SQ, W6YZV. W6LKC out for a change. The many others were too humorous to mention. Since no business meeting was conducted, the Golden Monkey Wrench was (fittingly enough) left in the a11-toodeserving clutches of WA6SCV, the last winner.
------~----------------------------------------------. -------.-----------------If you 'd like a PRC badge (so you can tell who in the ever-loving blue-eyed world you are), see El Secretario, W6ARN (AKA Gene GOS8). Better yet, avoid'this fearsome sight by using Ma Bell's facilities and calling it at 722...3208, but you'd better wait a week or so since he's absconded with the attendance records to Utah. Please, WA6HUG! Get your badge from K6SLA. Pretty Please!
As announced at the picnic. attendance tickets will be given for next yearls picnic prizes to card-carrying PRC members only (and of course, only to those members who attend the PRC picnic, field day, Xmas party. or club meetings - one per attendan:ce). 1£ you want your attendance to get you a chance at next year's prizes, join the Club. Costs $1. 50 to K6SLA. If you didn't read this. you'd better. If you have, don't bother.

FCC Amateur Licensing Course. Prof. Whitley, K6PKC, will again conduct his FCC Amateur Licensing Course each Monday, starting Sept. 16th, from 1845 to Z145 in Room E-9, Mira Costa College. Registration is already underway and will continue through the first meeting of the course. The fee is $10 unless you're young enough or old enough to get in iree. Whit's record is excellent as indicated by the high number of successful grads who managed to achieve an FCC Amateur License.
Help prevent another po$tal rate increa'e. Our Club Trea'urer, Jim Church, K6$LA, is in dire need of 'omeone's no-longer-needed brief cafe or attache cafe.

------------------..--------------------~--*--~------. -------------------------The 450 Repeater is perking along in great shape at the QTH of K6EJO, who has gotten the whole thing together with the squelch and COR operating at .3mV; and 1 uV for ZO db of quieting. K6HAV and W6NLO have managed to work the machine while it's at Gene's. A duplexer is on order; and we have lucked into a very fine commercial antenna donated to us by W6SQ, Hoppy, The input frequency of the PRC 450 repeater is 444~ 4Z5 MHZ, with the output at 449.425 MHZ (we've had to mov~ up ~lZ5 KHZ from.... our originally assigned input to make everyone happy and have a 5 MHZ separation). We anticipate that it will be six weeks before we have the duplexer and are ready to go on the mountain. We are also applying for ZZO MHZ frequencies.

---------------------------.----------------.--------------------.------------ARRL BULLETINS OF INTEREST? Hr Official Bulletin Nr 496 from ARRL Headquarters, Newington, Ct. August 15, 1974 to all radio amateurs BT FCC has proposed a new schedule of fees for nearly all radio services, to comply with a recent ruling by the Supreme Court. The principal criterion laid down by the COul't is the value of the recipient, For amateurs, the basic fee would be six dollal's for a five-year license. as opposed to nine dollars at present and ten dollars in the 1972 proposal which has never become effective. Modifications without renewal are proposed at five dollars, against four now and five in the 1972 list, Special call sign fees would remain at twenty-five dollars. Novice license, races authorizations and military recreation stations would continue to be fl:'ee of charge. Comments are due by September 20 and reply comments by October 4, making reference to Docket 19658. The procedural requirement of an original and fourteen copies applies as usual.

-------------------------------------~---------r-------------------------------HERE IN THERE (PERCHANCE) Listening to the Repeater as, a control station has WA6VYD more than grinding his teeth. Burr's now grinding lenses for eye glasses in the only such establishment in North County. Anyway, keeps the young fellow off of the streets on these hot summer nights.
W6JSL 8t Co. completed their far-out tripping and came back to Vista to c\.,utter up W6NWG again. Les, his XYL Ilean, and her father John, finished their tour of the Northwest and visit to WB61FH!7 in Maantana early in the month (in time for the picnic, WORSE LUCK!); and have been boring everyone within sight and sound with the reports of the trip.
As surmised in our previous fabulous issue, W6ARN and XYL Elsie did survive the wedding of their daughter. They managed to make the picnic but then hied themselves off to two weeks of solitude some place in Idaho.
As reported (accurately. too,) in last month's Scope, W6AAM hauled himself and XYL Ann and family to Dallas (well. more accurately, Plano), Texas. He has now been followed by W6ABO, who pulled up stakes on the 20th; and was last heard mobile on W6NWG around Riverside as he too headed for the Dallas area. The unholy W6A-· trioo! W6AAM. W6ABO and W6ARN is broken up at last! The migration to Dallas plus the eviction to Idaho of Gene-I w wish.you'd-get-a."W tf .call...Qo8s leaves the North County Night Owls (we don't give a hoot) consisting of W6JSI~ (Ugh!) and K6HAV, who have decided to forego the dubious pleasure.
K6EJO and K6HAV made a successful trip to the mountain to de-grunge the repeater and recover K6ROR's thermos. Gene drove, since his knuckles were already white enough from his last two trips with Ralph and Phil.
WB61PJ's doing nicely, thank you, but is more Burty than usual over not winning everything at the picnic (he didn H attend) with his one ticket.
W6VTV is recovering from successful surgery. Bill's an old-time PRC member; and planned to attend the picnic, but the surgery prevented it. Sure would like to have met you, Bill.
W6SE (likewise and old-timer in PRC) is sporting a new IC-Z30; and hailing the repeater ("Hello, Hello. This is W6SE. ") on his way to and from work. John' says he's probably going to retire this winter.
WB6HMY couldn It hold off any longer; and is now mobile on 2M as well as on HF. Works good. doeen tt it l Joe!
HERE IN THERE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 NO DOUBT) Had a bad week or two when we thought that K6$LA had departed with the treasury. Jim and family took two weeks off to Northern 'California in the Fort Bragg area.
WA6HQM is changing jobs within his company, but fortunately still has access to the giant computer in which he keeps our mailing list and repeater roster, thank heavens ~ and thank you, Dave!
W6lPP finally got the VHF wattmeter he won at last year's picnic. Going to get that VRC-37 fired up at long last, Jim?
WA6NNC is about to get off of the "gravy yard" shift and may even get to see his XYL. Nancy. now. (Donlt know how she feels about that!)
Nice .to see W6S0 and his XYL Pat at the picnic. Hoppy didn't grouch too much about not winning it all with his one attendance ticket.
The San Diego DX Club uses 147.42 for informa.l exchange of hot DX information. No net; just announce your DX information.
Perhaps some of you noted the article in the newspaper several weeks back about the grim discovery W6YZV, Mabel, made while walking through the Fielde! family orchard. ifnot, ask Mabel.
It must have finally happened to K6RORI Pbeel was recently heard questioning a local Ham about ski trips-- in mid-August!
K6EJO has been giving some rather strengthy testimonials concerning a certain brand of contact cement. Seems Gene got the wrong kind for gluing up the paneling he 'a insta.lling in the nice addition wife-wife is encouraging him to complete; and glued his hands to the wall! Heard ot folks coming un-glued. but this seems to be putting the glove on the athe r hand or something.
We I ve had a couple of very unfortunate recent occasions of outright, intentionalobscenities on the Repeater. As you know. there are kooks in every walk of life. This particular type is seek.ing attention; and when you make any response whatsoever to his harassment or obscenity, you give him what he is looking for. Bite your tongue or turn off your rig; but do not 1M! not respond to him in any way. Let the control station do his job of shutting the Repeater down, but shut uf! Too bad the weirdo-few have to spoil it for the rest of us, but they are always around.
Most of you know that our first repeater and duplexer were stolen from us because we were too lo08e~lipped about its location. We view with suspicion any attempt to ascertain ita location on Mt. Palomar. Any questions as to location should be answered by: "ltls on Mt. Palomar", and nothing more.
You too may have had the annoying expeX'ience of calling a particular station only to be called by a third station - without sufficient time elapsing for the called station to respond. I have; and it always irks me - even if I do know, and like. the quick.. on-thetrigger bird. A few thoughts of the other person, and the observation of common courtesy makes for a better repeater for all 180 of us.
WA6CSI puts in a full-quieting signal from hie lair in the Santa Margarita Mountains now that hels gotten his antenna up in the air. Keith had to wait for the swallows to leave before he could do it though. as it meant he had to destroy Borne of their nesta to get the pipe support against the side of the building.

NEW PRC MEMBERS: If you have your reading glasses you may be able (presuming you are astute enough) to find the complete Club roste r in this thing (if we luck out and get it in this_time).
PRC REPEATER: . KeEJO, Gene Marygold, very kindly stepped in when WA6EYX went to the hospital and has the solid state 2m repeater ready to go. Gene has coaxed a little over 25 watts out of it and i8 letting it smoketest itself at his QTH. rather than doing 80 on the mountain. We plan to pull the present machine olf the air and off of the mountain while the changeover in control circuitry is made. W6NWG will be off the air for a period of lZ-l4 hours while this work is done at Gene's factory, rather than doing it on the mountain top. (There IS nothing like driving 80 miles for the RCA phono plug you forgot!) Advance notice w~ll be given prior to the shut-down. and we!ll try to make it as rapidly a a possible. The present n;lilcbine will be renovated and placed in standby, since WB6ZEQ and K6HAV have ass'nted thereto. (Smitty!s TX and PWR supply and Ralph's RX are in use in the 1>resent machine-- the new one is completely Club-owned,)
The 450 mHz machine is awaiting a fan for the TX (if anyone has a squirrel~cage blower, call K6EJO at 727-3440), the duplexer which is on order and a 25-35-{00t pole to support the antenna. K6$LA and K6HAV thought they had a pole and did - but it was only good for firewood since it was broken. Any of you folks have any "utility" connections (pole. that is! ! t)? Speak up! ! !
'Two SANDRA members were recently heard running a liT-hunt" for the PRe repeater. We do hope, after our unhappy experience with KRQ)OK and his theft of our first repeater and duplexer, that such efforts will be limited to those who are not aware of our feelings on the matter. Go look elsewhere! The guard who patrols our site has a large. hungry dog with a nasty temper. We feel about the same way!
We finally got our repeater license - back for some more work on the application, that is. W6NLO ' s phone calls to the working folks at the FCC ascertained for us that our application was lost. 80 W6DEY went back to work getting copies together for resubmission (our canceled check proved that our original application had been received). Upon receipt of the resubmitted application, the FCC suddenly was able to find our original submission, which they returned to Max for some minor changes - it was stamped I'Received 20 Aug. 173", They returned it to us a year later! 'Sorne bureaucratic idiot had obviously pigeon-holed the thing for a whole year. It's been :resubmitted, and Merit is keeping a telephonic "eye H on it for us.

C-38ZZ29, a Turner mike ser, 7350, a Johnson 323 XCVI'. ser. 153D073·16160 stolen. says that "wen with alarms on the truck. the burglars entered by prying open a windwing and c;'ntering via the rolled down window. The motion alarm was not activated until the exit of the thiev.ea; and John was too late getting there. Gear should be marked with driver's license number and/or call sign, both of which are easier to trace than a 'wcial security number with which he had marked his gear (561-22-2904),
"The licensee of an amatewr repeater station and the designated control stations are hereinafter referred to as a 'Big Brother III,
The FCC requires "Big Brother" to act as censor of the transmissions retrans· mitted by a. repeater. IIBig Brother" has no punitive powers. His only recourse is to disable the repeater until illegal transmissions cease.
The Supreme Court says that criminals must be advised of their rights. Victims are not advised of their rights by the criminal and of course, the victim is responsible for the crime since. if he were not present, the crime could not be committed. Good, logical thinking!
Our open repeater retransmits all siSl!als r~ceived on the input frequency. We can" not retransmit a signal which is an infraction of the rules unless it first appears on the input frequency; and, of course, it will continue to be transmitted on the input whether [:he repeater is shut down or not. but "Big Brother ll is responsible and bears the blame. Good thinking?
The sooner the FCC fixes the responsibility on the perpetrator of the illegal transrnission and punishes him for the act, the sooner we will see the return of proper enforcement and respect for the law. Why punish the majority for the acts of a i.(~w?

The blood bank there is open Monday 1200-2000, and Tuesday-Friday during \vorking hours for any of those who would like to donate. Ed could still usc a couple of units donated in his name.
Oscar, W'6BIH, says in a postcard from the Rhine River in Germany, that since he can't 'Nork the European DX. he and the XYL are taking a ten-country tour of Europe.
WbARN waited until the Scope was mailed last month to return from his trip to Idaho. but he did get back in time for the meeting.
WA6SCV's trip to Colorado can best be summed up: "No luck. no buck". Hope you see the arrow of your weighs soon, Richard.

The CampbeUe left Christchurch in early May and willliave traveled around the world by the time they return at the end of September.

-------------------~------------------------.-----~-------------~--------------RC REPEATER:
.1,:;ar1y on Thursday, 10 October, K6EJO and K6HAV took the faithful tube-type repeater out of service and hauled it down the mountain to Gene's factory, where he changed the CW ID-er and control circuitry over to the new machine. Gene had everything so well planned ~hat they were on the road back to the mountain by 1430; and had the machine on the air by l.600 and were on their way back to Vista. Gene made another trip the next morning to do .,\ little 'tweaking of the amplifier and to replace a fuse which had taken upon itself to take w6NWG off the air. He was accompanied by Hod, WB6lFH t on this trip. While the new L"lachine sounds excellent, and the receiver sensitivity is Hkewise, some complaints indi;;ated lower power output than we were getting from old faithful, so Gene and some of the {'est of the gang watched their S-Meters and noticed that there was a definite decrease in t'eceived signal strength on occasion. There was also a discernible AC hum on the signal 'vhich had not been there prior to the installation of the ID-e1' and control circuitry. With 'his in mind. Gene was back on the mountain early on the 23rd to see what he could see. 'fhe wattmeter showed a drop in power from the repeater itself which Gene was able to o.:;orrect by K6HAV t s patented trouble-shooting procedure-- banging on the box-- thus 'eading to the deduction that a relay contact was not making properly. An application of
. :,orne wrapping paper as a burnishing aid has apparently solved that problem. By a proce oS
',f elimination, Gene was able to determine that the AC hum was being introduced on the 'lldio line from the 10·e1' to the repeater. After 24 hours of voice ID-ing the repeater, it ,'as ready to go again. Gene was back on the mountain with it.before daylight on the 25th, "I,d it installed and the level set; and was on hie way home before 0800. The power outpul
'd. the new machine is the same as that of its tube-type predecessor, but this power does irop off after a few minutes of key-down operation. Gene has traced this back to the re" ;eater itself and not the amplifier. The tube-type is in the Marygold factory being revrked fot' standby purposes. Gene certainly deserves a vote of thanks from all of the ",peateI' subscribers for the fine work he haa done in getting our new l!Jy~tem into opera
Tion. H~'S put a lot of time and effort into it, both at home and on the mountain. Thanks, (:ene; we appreciate you! ! !
iie have everything we need to get the 450 mHz repeater into operation with the exception < the mounting for the antenna. WA6SYU, WA6HQM and W6IPP spent a couple of.hours OT!
~~unday, the lOth, digging out a 30-foot pole from W6IPP's QTH. W6JSP donated the blower <e needed for the transmitter, and the duplexer is now on hand. Next, to get that 30 lootel
. nto a hole on the mountain. We Ire still looking for a truck to haul it with, so if any of yOt: ,ave such or know where we can borrow one for the two- to three ..hour round trip. we 'd tppreciat~ it if you'd make the info known. We Ire still hoping to get it into operation prio:c to the winter storms (so we can go up and replace tubes in the snow? ? 1).

6$LA's XYL has had a long siege of it in Tri-City Hospital. Hope she's out again in good ?Jape soon, Jim.
,{ 6EJO has managed to intersperse his m~ny trips to the mountain with ones to Tri· City )spital where his mother is recov'ering from surgery.____________ u_. ____________________ ~ ______ ._~ ____________________________________ _
q:ERE AND THERE: 'il6IXC, Mel Parmelee, has finally completed his move from Lawndale to Valley Center. . ,;:It there for that good Indian summer weather, didn't you, Mel!
l
{ERE AND THERE (ContinuedJ,: ;:nd "mumbles", our Secretary, informs us that Bill Jago, known to all his friends and rVI-plagued neighbors as W6NWI. has traded that call in for KbWC; and that Bob YVurzburg is WN60ZP. Can't really think of any good phonetics for Bill's new two: :tter call (but sure can think of s6me not-so-good ones!). You might correct last
louth's Club membership roster, if you've got the smarts to do it (you can also add the two new members mentioned earlier herein, presuming you can find your bifocals).
,J6NAT and XYL were back in town (Vista. that is, ) just recently. Don't know what the ,:casion was, as we were fortunate enough to be out of town at the same time. W6NQZ
;;,Y8 that Bill looked better than ever (which isn't saying a whole lot!). Bill probably A,me back to see how much of a backlog WA6KZN had built up since Billie departure.
r)eaking of WA6KZN, Bob has' his KWM- 2 back in operation with a rebuilt PTO in it. 'unda 'great; and Bob says that it's tlhot, straight and normal".
,A6CSI, Keith, has apparently forsaken W6NWG for the DC bands now that he IS~llpgraded ~ ticket and gotten his Drake gear on the air.
, ,eaking of forsaking. K6ROR, Pheeel, has aorta semi-forsaken ham radio for reloading shooting his own ammunition. Even had the unmitigated audacity to go deer hunting h,
s wheel chair. Didn't tell us whether he was shot at and missed or not!
,BoIPJ, who has never gotten back on 2M FM, says that he's keeping busy running phone ,l~itches for some of the San Diego baaed tuna fleet off of Africa or some such place. MUt.f
a labor of love, Bob.
IS good to hear WA6ZXZ up on the repeater at last. Charlie!s the only subscriber we ave in Ramona, which makes it doubly good.
61PP (the kind gent who donated the pole for our 450 mHz repeater antenna) is making ':Dises again about getting up on 2M FM, When we saw Jim at Pendleton the other day,
e said he has the xtah for his VRC-37, but that the receiver wasn!t working. Sic-ed d.m onto K6ROR. I did!
" 6£JO is nlaking and marketing his own line of solid- state 2M amplifiers. (Incidentally. _"ene'sversatility is virtually unlimit;d-- who else can repair repeaters, build amplifier "euter his male gatos ((cats» using injections of vodka for anesthesia, and sears his steaks
ith a blowtorch? ??, etc., etc" ad infinitum. Also, his repertoire as a whistler isn't 'rnited to just whistling Dixie! !) The one I got shows 45 watts out for 9-10 in with no re'leaking into the antenna. Much smaller than the Heath amp I've got in the car. and with pilot light and flon~offtl switch. which the Heath lacks. Only way to go barefoot with the
.eath is to unplug it from the 12 VDC line, which is hard to do mobile. Gene's amplifiel'!:l dell for less than the Heath-- and all assembled, too.
<cope prediction comes to pass! As surmised in last month's Scope, WB6IFH, Hod. and -YL have returned to the inskirts of the Guajorne Lake Area of greater San Luis Reyl
.'ceanside (with a Vista phone number). Good to have you folks back, even if you couldn't 'd).d the schematic for the ID-cr, Hod (W6NQZ says that you should look in Sept. '70 73 Aag•• ,not CQ. as some idiot told you to).
,'16BIH, Oscar Tupancy and XY.L are back from a 3, SOO-mile., ten~country tour of Europ•.:. )scar writes that there were 40 folks in their tour group, including another ham from LL.::> ,\ngeles. Oscar didn't know the other ham, but he spotted Oscar's call letters on his fligt1 'Jag. and introduced himself. Lots of slides of the trip were taken, Oscar says.
A late ARRL bulletin says that the Oscar 7 launch has been postponed to 31 October or later N lAW will keep us informed of the launch date and time.
lon't know whether W6JSL has gone into the handy-talky business or not, but Lee and his -: YL. !lean, have recently been heard smuggling a bunch of "rubber ducky" handy-talky mtennae into Vista from San Diego. Or are they for your bathtub. Lea?
'laven't heard WA6NGZ up on the repeater in some time. Maybe he's waiting for W6BLL 'r WA6QBO to get on.
;'1 A6DZM was looking for a 45(} mHz motorcycle radio for us for use in the control cirtitry of the repeater, but guess he hasn't had much luck. Anyway, we do need a lood
,lid- state 450 mHz receiver.

The November Club meeting was another great one with an excellent film and an even . better presentation by one of Ollr outstandL1.g young California Highway Patrol Officers.
Seventy or so folks attended. W6DEY reported that the nominating committee had done another commendable job in its selection of a sterling slate of officers for the Club for 1975~Why don't you come to this meeting and see whether or not it's true. We were going/to tell you who they are, but they might be you and you'd stay away. so corne and defend yourself before it's too late.
. . Hopefully, printed somewhere in this thing is a Palomar Radio Club membership application blank. Our Trea$urer. Jame$ Albert Moneybag$ (al$o known as K6$LA) remind
us that member$hip due$ are payable $tarting 1 January, 1975. That's Club member~ ship, not repeater subscription dues. and makes no difference when you joined the Club, if you want to be a Club member in 1975, complete the application and bring it to the Club meeting with $$$$$$! ! ! !
If you cd like a PRC badge (so somebody can tell who in the ever-loving blue-eyed world you are), see old "Mumbles". W6ARN (aka Gene G05S). Better yet, avoid. this fearsome encounter by using MaBelPs facilities and calling it at 722-3208 - or better still, wait and see if Genie-Baby is re-elected next year (after a111 you may be the new Secretary and find yourself ordering the badges- - or don It you already know who you are already?), WA6HUG, whoever you are, why Intya order another ba,dge so we'll have something to talk about.
New PRC membership applications received: KH6HHL t Jack Tunis, Vista and Hawaii. Dr. and Mrs. Willard Goldring, W6IDT and W6IJH, respectively. Escondido; W3PWB. Walt Lockhart. Carlsbad; and WA6TlJ.

-------------------------------------------.---------- -~-------------------------NEW SCOPE SUBSCRIBERS: In addition to the new repeater subscribers listed above, W3PWB, Walt Lockhart (innocently enough) has become a subscriber to the er, uh.

Jim and Olivia Franklin certainly upheld PRCls end of things with their outstanding job of handling the registration chore. The Club I s thanks to you and to those of the Club who assisted you during the convention.
SICK CALL: Ernie, WA6JSY, was recovering from eye surgery when his XYL, Hilda, suffered a stroke. Due to his eye problem, Ernie couldn't find the telephone. He had the presence of mind to use his rig to call for belp on the repeater and was answered by WB61FH and K6HAV. who got an ambulance to the Parker home. Hilda is in Camp Pendleton Hospital as of this writing, but out of intensive care.

--------------------------- -------------- -------------------
W6QP., Fack; is home recovering from back surgery at Tri- City Hospital, where for a day or so he .bared a room with K6JP, Bill; who was in for a perforated ulcer. Glad you made it in time, Bill, and hope you're coming along okay now, Jack.
K6ZB' s XYL was in the hospital at Camp Pendleton for 'awhile, but is home and apparently doing okay now.
K6$LA's XYL is home now and doing nicely after a long siege at Tri-City..
W6EZ, Dick, spent sever$.l days in Tri-City but is home now. Hope all's well with you, Dick. -_ .. --------------------._----_ .. ------------._.-.---- ----------------------~---DOWN THE TUBE: "Mumbles" 0088, W6ARN, says that Mel, formerly W6ABO, and Mike, formerly W6AAM, bQth of whom are operating out of the Collins Radio plant in Dallas, are now W5ULU (Uncle Louie's underwear) and W5ULT (Uncle Louie's tights?), respectively.
Understand that Harry, W6LKC, finally retires from Navy Civil Service at the Fallbrook annex on 29 November. About time, Harry; but 11m sure Mabel has enough honey·do work to make you wish you were still the Safety Officer at the Annex. Hope you enjo,. the retirement.
WB6NVW /XE 1WTY, Tom Youmans, sends greetings via Bill, WA6GFH, and says that he will be in Costa Rica starting 28 Dec. Tom will be staying at TI2WX'a QTH and using the station on 10 meters (28. 5-2S. 55 mHz) starting around 1500 local. In return for this, Tom has to take care of the TI2WX cat, Terremoto (earthquake).
Don't know where K6EJO's mind is, but the other day when he stopped to see W6JSL, Gene did a double take when he looked at a nearby truck. He read the sign on it as "porno movies"! His second look corrected his first impression. It said, "piano movers"! Better luck next time.
If WN6WQI doesn't return the grid dip meter he borrowed, he's going to have to pay rent on it. Thanks for the Gestetner ink, though, Ed. We'll know whether itls any good or not when this goes to press.
Good to hear K6WK~ Zane Sprague, on once in a'whiie now that he's moved up to Solana Beach. How about making a Club meeting?
W60DG, Aubrey, is up on W6NWG with a Swan FM-IZIO. Ever get the Mars rig working, Aubrey?
WB6PFO is frequently heard emulating WA6JCG with his bicycle mobile on Zm FM. Which reminds us that W6DEY J a retired FCC-type, cautions that we must sign our call signs properly when id-ing-- not "portable handy talky" or 'tbicycle mobile ", etc. See Sec. 97.37 of the FCC's Rules and Regulations if you are in doubt.
At least one student in K6PKC's FCC licensing course at Mira Costa College is up to 13 wpm. ort CW in the ten or so weeks the course has been in sesaion, even if theory seems troublesome. --- .. -----------------------_._----_ .. _-----------------------------------------

WN6EOT has been off on an elk hunting trip. Didn It have any better luck than K6ROR did deer hunting, though, did you Veri?
W6IXC, Mel in Valley Center, 108.t his antenna during one of the recent Santa Anas. Wound up using the dummy load and a clip lead to get into the repeater.
K6EJO just can't stay away from beautiful downtown Burbank, Good thing, too; since he solved the Burbank Police radio problems while he was there.
Guess we'll have to rent a truck to get our thirty-foot pole up to the mountain top if we want to get the 450 mHz repeater into operation. Sure would like to do it before the first snow I
As far as the 20m machine gpes, it's been working beautifully since K6EJO found the cold soldered capacitor on the transmitter board, Due to the cold solder joint, Gene found that we were only getting 1-2 watts output. He went to the mountain early and brought the repeater back with him. He had it back in operation with 25 watts output in short order, and it has sounded just great ever since! Of course Gene hopes it will run that way for the next 30-40 years, especially with winter in the near offing. Thanks for the time and effort you've put into making the new machine go, Gene; we all appreciate it-though none of us knows how much until the machine is off or its power is way down. Now if the friendless candy company would just get off of the dime (remember, they "lost" our repeater re-application for just over a year) and issue us our WR6 call sign..•• , , ., .! W6NQZ, Don. is ready and waiting to re·do the CW id-er matrix for the new call sign', Someday••••••
Gene, W6.ARN, has been safe from Elsie's wifely nudges to the shin when she' wants to get his attention. Seems Elsie was out of commission for several days with a badly sprained ankle, leaving Genie-Baby to moan about having to do all the housework. Glad to hear that you Ire back up and around. Stay alert, Gene!
!lean, W6JSLI s XYL, is getting a couple of weeks' relie,f from the nice old fellow. She IS off on a boat trip to Acapuloo, a bus ride to Mexico City and a plane trip back home. Les and his father-in-law John, have been living it up. but 1'm sure he'll be glad to have her back to growl at. .
We know your handy talky is great. Datte; bu;t "portable six from the bathroom" is too much! Sure appreciate the fine mailing lists and repeater rosters. Couldn't do without you or them.
W6DEY. one of the PRCl s reps to the San Diego Council of ARCs, tells us that the c'ouncil has voted to bid for the 1978 ARRL National Convention.
Glad to see K6.UMI, Del Harper, join us on W6NWG. Dellook.s after the City of Escondido's communications.
Good to have W61AB. the Mars station at Camp Pendleton t join us on the repeater. They need another freq. or two to g\lard, anyway•
.' Haven't heard a peep (or hetrodyne) out of W60VH since he has moved to Lake Elsinore. How about it, Chuck?
W6ME, Bob Herbig. always makes the PRC Flea Market with some new and interesting geai'.
Understand that WB6NVX'.a fantastic Indian Hill Ranch in Valley Center is up for sale. Where are you off to, Stan?
