All,

            I just got a call from Mr. Joe Shumard and all of the GW
Birthday activities have been cancelled.  My guess is that they felt that
the next storm (1 inch to ??) on top of the slow melting of the current
accumulation has given them pause.

            Thanks to all who volunteered and we can only look forward to a
warmer February 2011.  Our next event will be our club meeting on the 12th.
Look forward to seeing all at the next meeting.

            If you missed our ARC-SHORTS check out D's club website
(www.w4hfh.org <http://www.w4hfh.org/>  ) Our next meeting program will be
the VA QSO Party.  I will ask our club contest gurus about combining our
scores for a club score if all are interested.

            Stay warm and safe

Hi Ian,

That was a temporary measure as the MIT site was going away. (the MIT
site is gone) There is a new site just put on line by the NCR D-STAR
Association:

http://www.ncrdstar.org

Has a wiki that one can get a user id and password by asking the web
master. No self sign up so far. Karl J. Vesterling N2VQM
<kjv at ken-ton.com> is hosting the site. Hi is over in Laural MD.  Info is
being moved from the Google one Ben Gelb N1VF and I put up.

Gang, 

There was an M8 solar flare today (Friday) from 1119-1126 UTC, for which 
NOAA rated it's ionizing radiation at scale R2 - moderate.
You can see the x-ray emissions from it at:
http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/today.html  

NOAA has issued a >M5/R2 event alert, and 10cm (1GHz) radio burst notice.  
This means the earth has already received ionizing radiation from this flare

event.  The current solar flux (SFU) is now about 94, (been <80 last 90 
days) the highest it has been in a long, long time.  However, the 10cm burst

report means that the flare was detected where they measure the solar flux 
and is usually not added to the "smoothed SFU" value.  Thus, actually solar 
flux may be higher than 94. 

In short, if you are not at work like a bunch of us, check out the higher 
bands.  This M8 flare has sent ionizing radiation our way, which will raise 
the MUF through local sundown.  SFUs around 100 are sufficient to open 10M 
(rough, ball park guestimates).  My records are at home (I'm at work), but I

believe this is the first >M5 event since very early 2008. 

For those of us stuck at work, let us know if this event has, indeed, opened

15 or 10M, and make us feel even worse by reporting any good catches or DX 
you worked. 

72, Paul NA5N

Anyone want to have an alternate club meeting at a restaurant somewhere and
help the local economy?  I was thinking Fuddrucker's on Duke Street near
Foxchase only because they have plenty of room and we can be noisy without
someone calling the cops on us.

Subject: [Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Installing a Pipe Mast at QTH in
	Fairfax County
Message-ID: <d8c724881002211331s4faf71bai8527bc2fde3a822@mail.gmail.com>

Hi, all hams! I am researching the building permit regulations for a
single family home in the Alexandria, VA area, part of Fairfax County,
not contained within city of Alexandria. I want to erect (1) a
vertical HF multi-band antenna (approx Cushcraft R5 dimensions) and
(2) a VHF/UHF array on a 30 feet telescoping Al-Ti pipe mast.
Optionally, (2) will also act as a mid-point of a inverted V, HF
Dipole as it is going to be in the middle or so or the property..

BTW, HRO / Woodbridge has a limited stock of these amazingly light 30
feet telescoping Al-Ti pipe masts which fold down to about 4.5 feet in
final length...

My first concept is to build a L-shaped bracket that will be attached
to the iron round pillars of my outdoor car port, at a height of about
3-5 feet a.g.l and then provide a fixed mounting post for the two
vertical pipe masts 1 & 2 above.

What kind of guy systems should be used for the top portion? Insulators?

Do residents of Fairfax county require permits to erect masts or is
there any generally accepted practice? I looked at the Fairfax county
guidelines but could not locate a section specifically for radio
amateurs.

Also, I'm not familiar with the area that much - does anyone have a
recommendation for a local metal working shop where I could get some
local angle brackets/l-shaped brackets made or could buy from who
would fabricate and paint it before delivery?

I have about 40 feet to the top and at least 10 feet to the property line.

Samudra should be good to go.  Fairfax is really pretty good about the zoning for towers.  

The best thing is to attach it to the house somehow.  Some kind of a bracket.  I believe Radio Shack has something that will work.

Let us know when it goes up.

Any suggestions for guys/tie downs? I've only seen a few storms here,
with appreciable wind gusts, but how do towers handle in that
situation normally?

Hi,

I've talked to several ham radio vendors on pipe mast couplers and
stand-off brackets. I would hope in around the Alexandria area there
are some friendly small metal fabrication workshops, who could build a
couple of brackets for me to use as supports for this mast (HF mast,
VHF/UHF mast).

Does anyone have any friends who are involved in metal workshops
nearby? Could you provide me a contact number please!
