From n4ess at tampabay.rr.com Mon Dec 2 21:30:31 2013 From: n4ess at tampabay.rr.com (Rich Kennedy) Date: Tue, 3 Dec 2013 00:30:31 -0500 Subject: 2013Christmas party Message-ID: <655FE90E695643F8B00C7B8E4892023F@RKLT2> The Christmas Party was Great! I had a fun time and noticed that we all look just as young as last years party. Jimbo?s really does a nice job which I could see was greatly appreciated by the BBQ coated faces and fingers. The desserts were yummy. I don?t need to eat again until Christmas Eve. Patrick?s numbers speak for themselves...what a fantastic year. I like seeing young people getting into Ham Radio. It means that long after my shack goes dark the LARC will be here to carry on the traditions we are creating now. I will be at the LARC table during the hamfest in Plant City and hope to see everyone finding those special deals. The holidays are upon us so everyone be safe. Watch out for the other guy that may not be watching out for you. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Rich ? N4ESS -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: I recently received this request for help. Cecil is not aham, but did speak at one of our meetings. If you think you can help him, youcan email him at cberdly at juno.com cberdly at juno.com We usually think of service more in terms of the heroic, rather than the mundane. But service is still service. If you can help, drop Cecil an email or if you wish give him a call at 682-5976. Bill KI4ZMV Bill Recently one of our old CRT televisions died and we replaced it with new flat screen. We had cable, and then satellite, until we discovered how many channels were available free using rabbit ear antennas for our two televisions. Both televisions require(d) a converter box, and I was looking forward to getting rid of the converter box that was attached to the dead TV. However, I discovered that the sensitivity of the converter box is better than that of the new TV. I did a channel scan. I was surprised that several channels were missing. So presently I have the converter box attached to the new TV. I am thinking of buying a new indoor antenna that comes with a signal amplifier, probably something like the Winegard Flat Wave antenna. I am presently using a simple (not amplified) RCA rabbit ear antenna with a UHF loop shaped like a circle. If the amplified indoor antenna does not work, I will consider a bigger antenna in the attic or mounted outdoors. Any antenna will be cheaper than cable or satellite. If I do decide to install an outdoor antenna, I would like to hire someone who knows what he is doing, and that made me think of you. Do you know anyone who would do a good job? Also, do you have any thoughts about or experience with indoor antennas that would be helpful? Cecil -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
