Challenge, WFD Submittal & More!

Hi All, 

An excellent way to keep our QSO rates up and hobby vibrant is to introduce
and encourage young and new folks to Amateur Radio.  What's more, the time
we spend will likely pay dividends far beyond radio in these young people's
lives.  Much of the recent coding effort at N3FJP headquarters has been in
support of these sentiments.

The announcements in this e-mail include:

-  ARRL Rookie Roundup Contest Log 1.0 Now Available (free)!

-  Jamboree On The Air Log 1.0 Now Available (free)!

-  Field Day Planning: A School Club Roundup Challenge!

-  ARRL Kid's Day Log 2.0 Now Available (free)!

-  Winter Field Day Log Submittal E-mail Address

ARRL Rookie Roundup Contest Log 1.0 is Now Available!

This new program, designed for use by both new hams and veterans, has all
the features you've come to expect in N3FJP Software including dupe
checking, sections changing color when worked, scoring, DX spotting, rig
interface, super check partial, sending CW, etc. Best of all, you'll likely
find it very easy and intuitive to use!  Please encourage the new folks at
your club and community to give contesting a try and work them on the air
during the event!

Whether you are an N3FJP Software package subscriber or not, Rookie Roundup
Contest Log 1.0 is free to everyone. I've developed this program to help
encourage new folks to pursue the great hobby of Amateur Radio. All I ask is
that you help spread the word and enjoy the software!

You'll find Rookie Roundup Contest Log here:
http://www.n3fjp.com/rookieru.html

Jamboree On The Air Log 1.0 is Now Available!

I've also developed free software to support the scout's Jamboree On The Air
(JOTA) event as well.  I've never operated JOTA and since JOTA doesn't have
a defined exchange, I sought input from users.  The varied suggestions more
than stretched the limits of what one of my contesting templates could be
morphed into, but I did my best.  This program might not meet everyone's
JOTA style, but feedback so far has been positive.  Please give it a try and
if you find it useful, enjoy it!

You'll find Jamboree On The Air Log 1.0 here:

Field Day Planning: A School Club Roundup Challenge!

If you haven't been paying attention to the School Club Roundup (SCR), held
twice a hear, you should!  It may not be evident by the name, but the SCR
rules are designed to encourage participation, not only from schools (worth
5 multipliers), but non school clubs (2 multipliers) and individuals
(everyone is worth a point) as well!  It means a lot to these kids to have
an active radio experience during the contest and every QSO you and your
club provide makes it that much better!

The text covering all the great reasons for you to operate during SCR here
would be too long, but what I'd like to challenge you to consider is, as you
plan your Field Day event, also spend some time planning how your club can
partner with your local school to bring the School Club Roundup opportunity
to more students.  

Many schools don't have anyone involved with radio on their faculty, so they
never have the opportunity to be exposed to Amateur Radio.  We demonstrate
every year we can set up quickly and operate entirely on our own resources.
Not that you'd have to bring your own power, but there is no doubt that
setting up a station for a few hours during SCR week as an in school or
after school activity is well within out ability and very worthwhile!

Think about what you club can do, whether it be a one day set up on 20
meters, a week long event or maybe even an ongoing after school activity and
then meet with your school's principal to discuss it.  You won't earn extra
Field Day bonus points, but the rewards for everyone involved will be far
greater!

If you have questions about SCR and to learn more, the SCR folks have an
e-mail group here:  https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/SCR-L/info

I have free software for SCR as well:
http://www.n3fjp.com/schoolclubru.html

ARRL Kid's Day Log 2.0 is Now Available!

I've supported Kid's Day for quite s while, but I've just rewritten the
software in C#.net, so it now has the appearance, features and functionality
of the rest of my new rewrites.  Kid's Day Log is still free, and you'll
find it here:  http://www.n3fjp.com/kidsday.html

Winter Field Day Log E-mail Submittal Address.

The SPAR folks have a new e-mail address for your to submit your Cabrillo
Winter Field Day Logs.  Please be sure to address your e-mail and send your
log here:  winterfd at att.net

And in response to the questions we always receive when we neglect to
include the following in our e-mail announcements...    

Package Upgrade Information...   

If you have registered one or more individual programs and would like to
upgrade to N3FJP's Software Package or N3FJP's Software Package and CD for
full use of all our Amateur Radio software, we would be glad to apply the
amount that you have registered so far as a credit towards that purchase.
Please send us an e-mail directly and we'll let you know your balance.

net management, general logging and other Amateur Radio related

http://www.n3fjp.com/purchasepackage.html. 

Donations are Gratefully Accepted! 

And in response to the often asked question for which Kimberly and I are
very grateful...  

"I know your upgrades are free, but I also realize how much time and effort
coding these enhancements and new programs take and that your pricing policy
doesn't fully reflect that. Can I send you something to show my appreciation
for your continued efforts?"   

Yes, thanks so much, your continued support in any amount is very welcome
and deeply appreciated! You can use this page:

1 Peter 3 vs 15: Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks
you to give  <http://www.n3fjp.com/Faith.htm> the reason for the hope that
you have. But do this with gentleness and respect... 

p.s. If you want to unsubscribe or need to change your e-mail address for
future announcements.... 

The way Yahoo groups are set up, it is much easier for subscribers to
unsubscribe from the old e-mail address than for the list owner to do it for
you. In addition, Yahoo now prohibits list owners from adding anyone, so it
is impossible for me to add your new e-mail address.  

Fortunately, it is very easy for subscribers to unsubscribe and resubscribe.

Here are the links to the announcements group:

And users group:

 <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/n3fjp_software_users/>
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/n3fjp_software_users/ 

Please go ahead and make that change.
