SUMMARY:August 8th BARC Meeting: Dan Goldstein\,KJ6KEU\, “EmComm Mutual Aid in a Digital World”.
DESCRIPTION:  \nAt our Tuesday\, August 8th\, BARC Meeting\, at 7:00 pm\, Dan Goldstein\, KJ6KEU\, will be presenting\, “EmComm Mutual Aid in a Digital World“.\n\nAlso all interested are welcome to join us at our pre-meeting meal at Pizza Pirate at 5:15 pm.\n \nWatch our groups.io for the Zoom invitation if you would like to attend via Zoom.

In addition\, it addresses why the digital component (Internet) needs to be considered\, and what resources are necessary (WinLink\, AREDN\, solar generators\, etc.). Finally\, it points to standardized training that can help us meet the government’s need for resource typing to facilitate mutual aid deployments.\n\nDan Goldstein\, KJ6KEU\nDan is the Region 2 Emergency Communications mutual aid coordinator and the Administrative Sergeant for the Alameda County Sheriff’s Communications Team. He is also the ARRL East Bay Section Emergency Coordinator (SEC). In addition he serves as Hayward Planning Commissioner\, Hayward Education Foundation treasurer\, HOA board president\, and CMA chapter president. In his spare time\, he plays ice hockey and rides motorcycles. He adores his two college age kids\, and their Siberian Husky “Jack”.

SUMMARY:May 11th Monthly BARC Zoom Meeting
DESCRIPTION:We are happy to announce that Marcel Steiber\, AI6MS\, is returning to give another fascinating presentation for our monthly BARC meeting! Of course this time it’s on Zoom. It will be “Fully-Remote Amateur Radio Exam Administration”. \n(His previous presentation was in September 2019 on HF Towers- It was really interesting!) \nAmateur Radio license examinations are typically administered in-person by a team of at least 3 Volunteer Examiners. In 2014\, the FCC authorized remote exam administration\, which has seen limited use by a limited group of Volunteer Exam Coordinators in remote areas to provide exam sessions. In 2020\, with the nation-wide shelter-in-place health restrictions\, a renewed need to provide fully-remote exams brought together a small working group of amateur radio enthusiasts to develop processes\, documentation\, and improved examination software (using ExamTools\, from the creators of HamStudy.org). This talk will go through the details\, improvements\, and challenges of fully-remote exam administration\, including exam integrity\, digital signatures\, and computer-based testing that not only benefits the short-term need for fully-remote exams\, but also enhances in-person examination sessions for your VE Team! \nMarcel Stieber\, AI6MS\, has been an amateur radio operator since 2008 while attending the California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. He was President of the Cal Poly Amateur Radio Club\, W6BHZ\, and is currently the Industry Advisor to the club. He graduated with a Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering\, concentrating on RF and Communications\, and writing his thesis on “Radio Direction Finding Network Receiver Design for Low-cost Public Service Applications”. Marcel currently serves as Chair of the Cal Poly Electrical Engineering Industry Advisory Board. He is an Assistant Emergency Coordinator for the City of Cupertino\, serving as the trustee and technical lead for the Cupertino ARES UHF repeater\, W6TDM\, and as the Project Lead for the Cupertino ARES ARKnet Project\, which is building up a high-speed wireless intranet for the emergency responders in Cupertino. Marcel regularly volunteers at local repeater workdays as an RF technician and tower climber and enjoys providing communications for local bike rides and triathlons. He also volunteers as a Technical Advisor to several event management companies and local repeater groups. He is an ARRL Life Member and has helped license over 1500 hams since 2009\, mostly recently working to develop processes and train teams using fully-remote examination methods. More info at www.qrz.com/db/ai6ms The meeting will begin at 7:00pm.  \nYou can go on Zoom a few minutes early to meet and greet other hams! \nAll that are interested are Welcome!
