Repeater Planned Outage Tuesday

Posted on February 12th, 2009 by wd6awp / Add Comment »

We’ll be doing some work on the new two meter repeater next Tuesday, February 17. It will be off the air for the better part of the day. The duplexer will be removed in the morning and taken to the shop for tuning. Barring unforeseen circumstances it will be reinstalled Tuesday afternoon.

The UHF repeaters and the Santiago two meter repeater should be available during the outage. Thanks for your understanding.

Old site moved

Posted on February 7th, 2009 by wd6awp / Add Comment »

The hbraces.org has been moved to the new provider. The URL http://www.hbraces.org will take you to our new WordPress site at http://hbraces.net within the next 48 hours. Typically changes propagate through the DNS system fairly quickly but it may take up to 48 hours. You may have to close your browser and/or clear your browser cache before you see the new site. 

Our email addresses email address @hbraces.org have been moved also and are subject to the same 48 hour DNS delay. 

The HB RACES mail list servers (officers, members, and pager) are no longer operational.

We’ll have more details at the general membership meeting on Monday, February 9. Be sure to attend to get the latest information.

Our weekly HB RACES two meter net is held every Monday at 7:15 pm on the KH6FL repeater, 145.140 Mhz, -600 Khz, CTCSS 127.3 hz. Immediately following the two meter net we hold a net on our 440 repeater. The 440 net is on the WD6AWP repeater, 447.940 Mhz, -5.00 Mhz, CTCSS 100.0 hz. These weekly nets are a chance to practice good radio operating techniques, ensure your radio station is operational, gain experience in operating in a controlled net situation, and to help train future net control operators. Peter, N6RAS, is the Net Supervisor for the month of February 2009. Direct questions and concerns about our Fubruary weekly nets to Peter.

Our net is open to CERT members and visitors. Join the fun. Everyone is welcome to listen and check into our  HB RACES weekly nets.

HB RACES 2009 Management Team
Huntington Beach RACES 2009 Management Team

The 2009 Huntington Beach RACES Management Team held their first meeting of 2009 on January 5, 2009.  HB RACES goals for 2009 include:  a strong effort on completing training materials and providing training opportunities for both new and seasoned communicators, documentation of standard HB RACES procedures and methods that have been established over the years and are working well for our group, continuing an ATV awareness effort within the city departments and our RACES groups including the periodic testing and verification of our ATV equipment and procedures, and facilitating each officer to manage and accomplish their specific goals for the organization.

The 2009 HB RACES Management Team includes:

  • Chief Radio Officer – Peter, N6RAS
  • Assistant Radio Officer – Vaughn, KE6V
  • Events Officer – Steve, KE6OCE
  • Training Officer – Jim, KG6ZDP
  • Personnel Officer – Robert, KE6RKG
  • Technical Officer / Financial Officer – Pedro, AD6TN
  • Documentation Officer – Manny, KG6IQL
  • Public Information Officer – Wayne, KH6WZ
  • American Red Cross Liaison – Shelley & Roy, KC6ZOW/N6SLD
  • Repeater Liaison / IT Officer – Tim, WD6AWP

In addition our past Training Officer from the 80s, Gordon, K6DAA, will be joining the officer team for special assignments and offering his assistance to all officers as needed. Gordon’s extra help and perspective will be helpful in the accomplishment of our ambitious goals.

Dates for 2009’s management meetings have been set and are on the first Monday of the month with the exception of September. In order to observe the Labor Day holiday we will be meeting twice in August - the first Monday and the last Monday. All officers are asked to attend these meetings and all interested communicators are also invited to attend. The meetings are normally held in the Huntington Beach EOC. If you have an issue that needs to be addressed by the HB RACES Management Team please contact the officer that best matches the area of concern or contact the Chief Radio Officer.

All of the 2009 officer’s are looking forward to making 2009 another great year of service to our city and continued learning of our radio skills with our vast radio family of friends. Together we will continue to make HB RACES the flagship organization it has become.
