John needs some help with an antenna

Body: 

Hi Folks

John Higgins is looking for some help in bringing an antenna back to life.
The antenna has been on the side of a building for many, many years and is very oxidized and the connectors a stuck, won't come off. Any help would be appreciated.

The type antenna can be found in the link below.

Thanks

Bill
VA3SPT

As discussed, here's the link to the antenna info - if a member of NBARC
would not mind taking a look at the actual antenna to determine the best way
to clean the oxidation as well as whether it is functional.

Thank you

John

Repeater Software Upgraded (yet again).

Body: 

I was at the repeater sites today and upgraded the controller software to the latest beta release (July 15th).
It reloads the time each hour, and reworks some of the routines used in sending and receiving data from the real time clock.
--- Now your homework! ---
Please drop me a note about once a week with your observations on the times of the two repeaters.
Does it seem to drift, or has the time finally stabilized.
The more ears out there the better the feedback will be to the software development team at ARCOM.
Thanks in advance.
Paul, VA3PC

Paatrick4Life 2012

Body: 

The 2012 Patrick4Life Walk/Run is this coming Sunday June 10th. The 1/2 marathon walkers start about 0730ET with the 1/2 marathon runners starting about 0830. Bill would like those volunteering to show up about 0730ET. This gives us time to get set-up and pick up a coffee etc before the traffic starts. I plan to be there between 0700 and 0715 to get a good parking spot.
See you there.

20120606 - VE3NLH - Norm Richardson SK

Body: 

I just received a call with news that I am still trying to process.
I can't really believe what I heard, but we have lost a club member and a friend, and the amateur community at large has lost one of its shining lights.
Norm started having shortness of breath in the past few days, and went to the local hospital to be checked out. Tests were inconclusive, and his family suggested getting checked out by a specialist in Toronto.
Norm didn't make it. He was found at home today when his phone went unanswered.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.
