\"Chatter<\/p>\n

Our July club meeting was held at the new County Office of Emergency Services, on Chanticleer Blvd.\u00a0 We were met and welcomed by Rosemary Anderson, the County Emergency Services Manager.\u00a0 She was happy to play host for our club meeting.\u00a0 Many of us were baffled about how to enter the area, all doors, like most public buildings these day, being locked for security purposes. (Even the Santa Cruz Public Library administrative offices have keypad entry only!) Once we found the right door, we climbed the stairs to a magnificent facility.\u00a0 Cap KE6AFE, met me as I entered, giving me a special first-hand look at our new Amateur Radio Emergency operating station.\u00a0 I was doubly impressed with not only the proximity to the emergency nerve center but the work that has already gone into the station.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have a list of volunteers.\u00a0\u00a0 The mounting of the roof antenna requiring special work was particularly unique, involving dozens of hollow-tile weights to position and stabilize the antenna.\u00a0 All coax lead-ins are to be fed through special \u201cnon-penetrating roof\u201d access pipes, hampered by a few 90 degree angle bends to navigate.\u00a0 Coils of new coax await their care and especially, \u201cfeeding.\u201d\u00a0 Much of the operating station equipment is in place, needing only power, and eventually, operators.\u00a0 One ladder-line leads to the only presently-operable antenna for 2 meters.<\/p>\n

The main County Emergency Services room is spacious and comfortable, with stations for the served agencies.\u00a0 The super-sized display screen was used to best effect by a showing of field day photos.\u00a0 Kerry, K3RRY, did the computer-show honors for us.\u00a0 Approximately 30+ club members were in attendance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
