SUMMARY:BARC’s February 12th Meeting\, Kirsten Mcintyre\, K6WX: “A Wire In The Air - What Matters Most”.
DESCRIPTION:We are so happy and excited to have Kristen coming back again to speak!  She gave a fantastic\, well received presentation about 7 years ago at BARC on Grounding. Kristen has been interested in radio since she was about 5 years old. When she was small she built many radio kits including her favorite: the one tube radio kit. She started in Amateur Radio around 1979 while she was at MIT by getting her technician’s license. She built a 2m repeater with an autopatch to use while on campus at MIT. Somewhere in the middle of all this life intervened and her license lapsed. She has been re-licensed getting her extra ticket.  She is active on 2m\, 1.2GHz and is active on HF with an Elecraft K2 she built while on vacation visiting her mother. Kristen often does her HF-ing mobile with the K2 and a hamstick or from her apartment with a homebrew helical vertical dipole and an IC-7600 driving an AL-811H.  These days she loves to chase DX using mostly CW\, and works contests from time to time.\nKristen is also licensed in Japan\, her second home\, as JI1IZZ.\nKristen is ARRL Technical Coordinator for the East Bay Section and is president of the Palo Alto Amateur Radio Association for 2007\, 2008\, 2010 through the present. She is also a member of the following clubs: Palo Alto Amateur Radio Association\, South Bay Amateur Radio Association\, NCCC\, USS Hornet Amateur Radio Club\, Northern California DX Club\, Northern California Contest Club\, FISTS CW Club (10232)\, NAQCC\, SKCC\, and Young Ladies Radio League.  \nKristen’s work bio: \nKristen McIntyre is currently a senior software engineer at Apple working on OS X and iOS. She recently came back from being an entrepreneur in Japan. Previously she was a researcher at Sun Microsystems Laboratories where she was researching robustness and emergent properties of large distributed computer systems. Her career has spanned many diverse areas. She started in the early 80’s designing high power linear amplifiers and then spent about 5 years in Japan architecting and designing precision analog test systems as well as learning Japanese language and culture. Upon returning to the states Kristen joined Adobe Systems and became one of the architects of PostScript Level 2 and its RTOS underpinnings as well as the principal architect of AppleTalk networking for PostScript printers. In the early 90’s she became a consultant and later founded an internet service provider and a network consulting firm. In 1999 Kristen decided to hang up her entrepreneur’s hat and landed at Sun\, tried the startup thing again only to land at Apple\, where she’s been since. Kristen holds a B.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. \nPre-meeting meal will start at 5 PM at RoundTable Pizza\, 878 Southampton Rd. All are welcome!

SUMMARY:BARC's ARRL Field Day!
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n        \nThe Benicia Amateur Radio Club (BARC) Invites You to it’s ARRL Annual Field Day!! \nJune 24-25 from 11:00 AM Saturday to 11:00 AM Sunday. \nIt meets at the Benicia Fire Museum on 900 East 2nd Street. \nFor 24 hours straight Amateur Radio operators or “Hams” will be demonstrating radios and using a variety of electronic equipment to practice communications techniques as a disaster preparedness exercise. Solar power batteries\, various antennas from a wire to much more complicated ones and even digital modes using laptops or tablets with the radios will be used.

Many other uses of ham radio will also be displayed. It’s a great opportunity\, informative and fun for everyone! \n
