1. By Robert VEARST Well happy new year to everyone I hope that you had a festive holiday season and enjoyed time with family and friends Now that the Christmas and new year festivities are threw I know that I am looking for ways to decrease that extra 1 or 2 pounds gained during the holiday season Since most of us are also recovering from the extra monetary cost of Christmas what better way to spend inexpensive and quality time than in the ham shack In the last newsletter I went through the basic specifications for getting or making a more comfortable chair Another important issue for your health in your ham shack is the proper positioning of your computer and related accessories It is important to position this equipment correctly to avoid back arm neck and head strain The following are just a few tips when placing this equipment Adjusting your Monitor s Height and Distance Now that you have that comfortable chair sit down in front of the radio table in your shack These next adjustments will lessen the stress placed on your neck and shoulders Sit comfortable on your chair Keep your feet flat on the floor Hold your head so that you are looking straight ahead not down and not up This is the position that your head should maintain when looking at the monitor Also keep your shoulders and arms relaxed Raise and lower the height of your monitor till you are looking straight at the centre of the screen The top of the2. cancelled at the last minute because the required minimum of 10 students per class was not met For those interested parties who still wish to take this course I am pleased to announce that I can now offer an alternative venue and am willing to teach classes of less than 10 students My goal is to offer this course at the beginning of 1997 As I do not have a list of the students who enrolled to take this course at Sturgeon Creek Collegiate I cannot contact each one of them individually to advise them of these new arrangements I would therefore appreciate it if members of WARC who know of anyone who is interested in taking this course would pass on this information and ask interested parties to contact me PERSONALLY after 6 p m at 487 0509 The Newscaster Page 3 STANDING COMMITTEES FLEA MARKET The date is Sunday April 20 MEMBERSHIP Norm VE4EH available for those wishing to pay dues tonight THE NEWSCASTER Derek VE4HAY needs articles badly THE DX SLEUTHS Adam VEASN reported there was a small turnout for the world wide CW contest He reminded everyone of the Heard Island DXpedition in January 1997 OLD BUSINESS amp License plates for vehicles Current holders of VES plates will be getting a renewal application that will provide the brand new design plates New applications should be sent in before February 28 97 in order to qualify for their call sign to be on the new design plates Lease extension Ed VE4YU rec

4. monitor should generally be the same height as your forehead There are a number of ways that you can raise or lower your monitor You can use household items such as old telephone books packages of paper catalogues or shelving The viewing distance from your eyes to your monitor should be between 16 and 24 inches You can also decrease eye strain by tilting the monitor 10 20 degrees After you have made the proper adjustments try sitting in front of the monitor for about 15 20 minutes to see if you can feel stress on you neck If you do begin again by adjusting the monitor height Preventing Glare Glare is the biggest single cause of eyestrain when the computer is being used It is not that difficult to avoid the eye strain Avoid setting your monitor under direct light Florescent overheads are the biggest causes of glare If you have them in your shack turn the ones directly overhead off A portable desk lamp will decrease your problem with glare and still provide adequate light Most newer monitors now have built in anti glare protection If you are using an older one an anti glare screen can be bought at any computer store You can also purchase anti glare glasses from you ophthalmologist A simple method of reducing the glare from The Newscaster Page 7 overhead lights would be to place a large piece of cardboard over the top of the monitor Avoid staring at the computer screen for too long a period of time People who do thi

18. s tend not to blink as often Look away and focus on an object at a distance for a few seconds Blink frequently to avoid eye dryness Adjusting the Keyboard Height Carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive strain injury have become more prevalent because of keyboards and mouse devices Over long periods of use you could be susceptible to these problems A way to reduce your risk is to place your keyboard at the proper height in you shack The table height of your shack table should be between 23 and 28 inches from the floor to the typing surface Use a comfortable wrist pad in front of your keyboard so that your wrists have cushioning and do not touch a hard surface Adjust the height of your table so that when you position your hands on the keyboard your elbows are bent at an 90 degree angle and your wrists are not bent up or down Make sure that your wrists lie flat and that your fingers are stretched out in front Using a Mouse Pad To reduce the presence of wrist and shoulder strain try to use a mouse pad under the mouse when you are in operation Try to move your entire arm when using the mouse A lot of us myself included make sharp jerky movements with just the wrist when moving the mouse Take a mouse break every now and then Position the mouse pad next to the keyboard so you do not have to reach too far Although most of these suggestions seem simple most people do not think about positioning of their ham equipment w
