The Southern California based PAPA Repeater System will be holding a ham radio special event!

Under the call sign K6H, “Ham Radio Celebrates Hollywood” will be held on Sunday, October 28th from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm (1600Z – 2000Z) and emanate from the Stage 9 of the CBS Studio Center facility in Studio City, California.

Historic Stage 9 is the home of ABC TV’s “Last Man Standing”, starring Tim Allen. “Seinfeld”, “Spin City”, “According To Jim”, “Cane”, “The Cleaner” and “The Defenders” are among the shows that have been shot on the stage.

Several of the show’s licensed operators will be on hand to host the PAPA members and a number of paths will be available to contact the stage including HF, VHF, UHF, DSTAR, Echolink and IRLP.

A schedule of operating times and frequencies will be published on the PAPA website. Take a break from contesting, come over and say hi.

To facilitate contacts during the event, operators will BLOG in real-time on the KA0XTT Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/KA0XTT) and on the @NN6JA on Twitter page.

The set will also be monitoring the BEARS (ABC/Disney) interconnected repeater system, which links W2ABC (in Manhattan), WD4WDW (in Orlando Florida) and KA6AJE (in the Los Angeles area). The system can be reached on Echolink via WD4WDW-R.

We are hoping other organizations will link in to make this a national event.

A special, limited edition QSL card will be issued to all confirmed contacts.

Sabbatical away from the Whack-a-Mole of technology

So many things have broken over the last six months that there is very little left intact. Since spring there have been a long string of power surges, lightning strikes, wind damage, and magic smoke leaving nearly every device. By the time one thing was fixed and operation another event would break three more things. As if there were not enough issues, a fallen tree took out the antennas for the shack. The last of the base radios failed early this fall.

I’ve removed the blown up equipment and supporting wiring. I lack the time and energy to rebuild what was a decade in the making. I’m going quiet for a while. I may well be back at some point, but that is far enough down the road not to be in sight.

Due to aging hardware and software in the data center this site cannot be upgraded without a complete start from scratch, and an upgrade is required to get it to run on modern software. As bad as the whack-a-mole with the radio and power systems was, the digital side of things has been an even bigger handful.

I am going to archive this site into cold storage for another day where I might be able to pull a magic rabbit with a quick fix, but don’t look for it soon. If you want anything that is on the site I’d suggest downloading it very soon. Nothing will be erased, and it may even return sometime between later and when pigs take flight.

In the ways that matter things are fine, so don’t worry be happy… I’m also shutting down the last of the online projects as soon as a graceful exit presents. It is time for a long sabbatical to examine the insides of my eyelids and recharge.
