Clovis Amateur Radio Pioneers
Using a low power amateur radio transmitter and a simple light bulb receiver circuit, we see how radio waves and electromagnetic induction transmit energy and signals wirelessly through the air. We also see how dipole and Yagi antennas radiate their energy in different patterns.

KAWARTHA LAKES – Local police are advising amateur CB and ham radio users to adhere to the new driver distraction legislation, saying a microphone is no different than a cellphone. However, the MTO said if those radios are being used to assist in an emergency situation, users are covered under three-year exemption until January 1, 2013.

Texting Underground Can Save Lives And Caves
Caves are some of the last places on the planet left to explore. Though caving is relatively safe, if something goes wrong deep inside the earth a rescue can take days – in part because cell phones and walkie-talkies don’t work underground. But a remarkable teenager in New Mexico has invented a device that may significantly speed that process with the ability to text from underground caves. The young man’s invention may have other applications as well.

Power is Restored and the CARP Repeater System is Back Up
Looks like the power was restored to the hilltop around 2pm today. Repeaters are back functional, but there is still a problem with the link so the IRLP and echolink is not linked to the hilltop.
The Technical Committee is coordinating a trip to the hilltop for next weekend, hopefully the roads will be clear by then.
