 ARES RACES GO KIT
In this month’s QST (May 2008 pg 62 &63) there is an article on “The Highly Versatile Orange Box”. I coincidentally just finished a similar “Go-Box”.
Goals:
1. HF & VHF communications multiband
2. Light weight- under 25 LBS
3. Self contained- water resistant.
4. Aux 12 V power output.
5. Separate battery box.
6. Power supply w 110 volt source- either generator or battery w inverter.

 Based on the May 2008 QST article by Milton Davis, AI6MD, I built a schematic that combines the great features of the Kenwood TM-D700A with The Smart beacon format of the Byonics, Tniytrak III(+). Check it out
here in PDF Format.

GOALS:
1. To be able to run my heating system and some lights for a minimum of 5 days or longer during a prolonged power outage.
2. The above assumes that Keyspan is still providing natural gas. As a backup, a generator is supplied that will be tri fuel (natural gas, propane & regular gas). The generator will provide topping off of batteries so nighttime operation will remain quite. If Keyspan is providing gas then during the day the generator can provide additional power. If Keyspan is not providing gas, then the generator will be powered by two large propane tanks and the house will be heated with high efficiency (so they say) electric heaters.
3. To “be green” and save some money (after the 6-7 year calculated pay back). With the price of oil going up as fast as it is- it might be sooner rather than later.

 APRS is a great addition to the hobby. It is also a very good tool for positioning in a communications activity like a marathon or for emergency communications.

| The Smith-Victor 10 foot aluminum light stand extends to 10 feet high and weighs only 3 pounds. It collapses to 32” and easily fits into a 36” light stand case. The top section has a diameter of 5/8”, which is suitable for most mounting clamps....

 Mr.Rogers [(KC2OYG)the teacher for the wwarc] and I were thinking of having a hamfest in the North Gym of Walt Whitman High School. We want to raise money for the club and we wanted to split it with Larkfield if they would help with the process. Beinging only 5-7 high school members and 2 adults we dont have the manpower or knowledge to run a hamfest since non of us have ever ran a hamfest before. If you have any comments please e-mail me (click here) or e-mail the club (click here).

Evan, KC2NRB has started a club at Walt Whitman HS, South Huntington. The new call sign is KC2OUQ. They have a room and a phisics teacheer who is very involved. Last week 10 kids came to the meeting. We need equipment; antennas, rigs, tuners, etc. The principle will give a receipt for any donated equipment. Evan is very excited about this club and if we can get a station up and running, we can get more kids involved in this great hobby!!!
Thanks,
Pat WS2A ( Evan's Dad) 1 comments
