This would include a short organ play demonstration program, and a tour of the Pipe Chambers, ?The organ has 3 manuals, plus 32 pedal notes, and well over 150 stops. And visitors would? have the opportunity to sit? at the console,for photos or to play. This organ is a very uniqueinstrument, built in 1927 for silent movies, and includes all the original bells and whistle sounds used for Silent Movies? ( Keystone cops, Laural & Hardy etc ). ??? The organ incorporates over 1400 pipes that are located in two chambers (each side of the stage). The system is powered by 2 blower? motors 7.5 HP each in the basement. The theatre 1400 seats, (including the balcony) and is classified as an Atmospheric theatre (with twinkle stars in the ceiling). Do you think the club would be interested in this venture and could you, perhaps, coordinate the project. The date and time would be subject Theatre managements schedules . Should you and Peg like a pre-visit, (walk around) I have keys to the castle. (subject to Theatre management) Don Note .. LARC Club member Bob Siegel, WA4YFN is director of organ maintenance.?

The ARRL WCF Presser for January 2018 is ready for your reading enjoyment. Please take the time to read and be enlightened. There is a wealth of information that is contained in each issue and on the website at http://arrlwcf.org/ . We have three ARRL sections in the State of Florida and if you are in one of the following 10 counties then you are in the West Central Florida Section (WCF), Charlotte, Desoto, Hardee, Highlands, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, and Sarasota. One of your best resources for information on upcoming events and happenings throughout the area is to visit the section website and read the Presser. Contact you club Public Information Officer(PIO) to pass along information that would benefit other members of the section. Your PIO will in turn contact me, Rich - N4ESS, Public Information Coordinator (PIC) or your Section Manager, Darrell Davis, KT4WX. The information will be passed along via a press release or inclusion in the monthly Presser. Your Section Manager spends a great deal of time each month coordinating activities throughout the section and making that information available via the Presser. Darrell's day job as well as attending college and ham radio related activities uses up all 27 hours of his 24 hour day. Please support our Section Manager by reading the information he has put together and stay informed about your section. See you all in the new year at one of the upcoming events. They are all listed on the WCF website. Don't miss a hamfest, tailgate, convention, conference, or local gathering because you were not informed. Thank you all and remember to send in your monthly reports for those that are section appointees.

Over the years I have owned many of the Japanese ground planes. The reason I have owned many of them, is that that develop very high SWR - like 10:1 - and have to be replaced. Really, none of them are very good. The two piece antennas, like the X300 are the worst. Those joints just have an affinity for corrosion. - no matter how well you seal them or protect them. All the Jap antennas seem to go bad after a few years - whether or not they are out in the weather or being used. They will go bad, just sitting in the corner of your garage. Some years ago, I had a 23 cm Diamond ground plane, on my repeater. When the antenna went bad, it took a $1K PA, with it. I only use Jap base station antennas, when I have no alternative.
