Every year the creator of APRS helps organize a event where radio relay is
established from Georgia to Maine using APRS 9600 along the Appalachian
Trail. They are seeking help in SW VA. Passing along for visability

KO4ARL


Cc: Robert Bruninga <bruninga at usna.edu>

We just had a cancellation of the operator at Comer's Rock leaving the
2000 mile long packet chain broken in SW Virginia.  Comers ROck is a
driveup location (plus 50 yard walkup to the lookout with excellent 360
degree views).  It is about 15 miles SW of Wythville, VA.

See site details:  http://aprs.org/hamtrails/comers-rock.html

The event attempts to exchange 9600 Baud APRS packets along the
entire length of the Appalachain Mountain range from Maine to GA
using 14 temporarydrive-up packet digipeaters (Kenwood D7XX radios).
The  event lasts about 4 hours from 1100 to 1500.

Using the factory installed 9600 baud  APRS radios miniimizes operational
and setup risk for such a one-time event.

See overall information on this annual event:

Let me know if you can help!

ARC Monthly Meeting Notes June 12, 2020

 

Craig E. Church (N4GOR) passed away June 11, 2020 COVID-19 the Alexandria
Radio Club acknowledged his passing with a moment of silence at our monthly
meeting. 

 

Don KI4D, provided us with an overview of Field Day 2020:

*	Work as many stations as possible
*	Develop your skills to meet the challenges to meet emergency
preparedness
*	Learn to operate in abnormal situations
*	Acquaint the general public with the capabilities of Amateur Radio

 

Field Day under COVID-19 Conditions

 Don KI4D convinced ARRL upper echelons to grant a waiver for Field Day 2020
because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The waiver made it possible for ARC to
operate as a "club" during Field Day, with some differences from the past.
The waiver has two important provisions: 1.) allowing QSO points for class
"D" to class "D" station contacts and 2.) summing of individual scores into
an aggregate "club" score.  Field Day rules defines a class "D" station as a
home station on commercial power.

*	No public event involved
*	No Band Captains
*	Recommended Classes of Operation (B, C, or E)
*	Recommended Bonus Points
*	Identification of Club Operators
*	Collect "Club" logged contacts for Consolidation
*	Field Day QSOs should be conducted using individual ham call signs
with logs provided to N8IK or ARRL https://field-day.arrl.org/fdentry.php

Field Day Class Rules:

*	Class B - Battery
*	Class C - Mobile
*	Class D - Home Station using commercial power
*	Class E - Home Station using Emergency Power

Field Day Logging Software:

The following logging software is known to offer support for Field Day, and
can be used for logging field day contacts.

*	FDLog
*	N3FJP
*	N1MM+
*	SkookumLogger (Mac OS)

It was a delight to experience Field Day 2021 again with the absence of
Field Day last year.  The last-minute change from a virtual Field Day to an
in-person Field Day did not lessen the enjoyment.  Thanks to Ian for quickly
organizing and conducting a superb Field Day 2021 for our club members.  It
was good to see some of our newest club members step into action during
Field Day.  Todd Taylor and Jason Palmer proved that digital modes have a
strong future in our Field Day operations of the future.   A highlight of
Field Day was a visit by the City of Alexandria Fire Chief, Chief Corey
Smedley.  Photos taken at ARC Field Day 2021 have been uploaded to the
following link:   <https://photos.app.goo.gl/dqDCU64AUTftN5iQ8>

Regular club meeting events are still subject COVID-19 restrictions at our
normal meeting location, the City of Alexandria Police Headquarters
building.  Until we are notified those restrictions are lifted and that we
may resume our regular meetings, we will continue with virtual club meetings
using Zoom.

 

The June 11 monthly featured the Field Day 2021 briefing by Ian Keith, Field
Day Chair.   The briefing can be viewed at:

haring. The briefing began with a discussions of club concerns about
COVID-19, the safety of attendees, and safety precautions developed by club
leadership for Field Day.  Field Day safety precautions were:

 Fully vaccinated attendees can remove masks, but masks are preferred, if
not social distancing

*	Partially or unvaccinated attendees are strongly encouraged to wear
masks with social distancing as a health precaution for everyone
*	Those who are ill should not attend
*	No food or beverages will be provided by the club, except for
bottled water
*	Hand sanitizer and Lysol wipes will be provided by the club
*	Field Day 2021 safety officer duties will include a focus on health
safety precautions
*	Make sure to sign in  --  beyond ARRL attendance reporting, the
sign-in roster will be used in case there is a COVID-19 problem

 

On June 2, Alexandria Radio Club launched its first Tech Talk series with a
Tech Talk #1.  The talk featured a discussion of "Repeaters, how they work
and much more" given by Tim (KT4MV). Tim's presentation on amateur radio
repeaters included: Basic concepts, Locations, Equipment, Repeater
controllers, Duplexers, PL tones, Voting systems and remote receivers,
Remote links, Antennas and lightning protection, and Coordination. Thanks to
Tim (KT4MV) for a great presentation.  Tech Talk #1 has been posted for your

haring.  Tech Talk topics are based on a club survey conducted this past
spring.  However, all sessions are open to all hams.  These talks will be
conducted monthly during the coming months. The purpose of these sessions is
to provide an opportunity for in-depth conversations, including Q&A, on a
variety of ham radio topics.  This follows up on ideas from club members
desiring to build on their knowledge of ham radio.  It is also hoped that
these sessions will build on club mentoring efforts for our newest hams and
will serve to promote their continuing interest in club activities. Finally,
it is hoped that these sessions will lead to more interest in operator
license upgrades enabled by increased knowledge of ham radio.  A list of
coming Tech Talk topics is enclosed at the end of this email.

 

This month, we are again delighted and fortunate to have several new club
members. New club members joining since last month are Brian Cavanaugh
(KOQQZ), Darrin Leleux Jason (KO3SFQ) and Dan Beckler (K9DGB). Please
welcome all of them

 

Most ARES Safety vests were delivered during Field Day weekend for those who
attended.  The remaining vests are being held pending delivery.  As
announced during the June club meeting delivery of polo shirts with club
logos have been delayed due to a lack of availability from the shirt vendor.
Club members decided to wait 30 days for availability after June 29th.

Subject: Safety Vest Sizing

 

In reviewing and finalizing the vest order, I am wondering if consideration
was given to winter wear of these vests as well as summer wear.  Since coats
are apt to be worn during the George Washington Day Parade event and other
winter events, would one size larger than a normal shirt size be needed in
such cases.  I spoke with a DX Engineering rep and he did not know whether
the vests run as sized, larger or smaller.  His only idea was to buy two
vests as some of his outdoor construction contractor friends do.  If you
would like to reconsider and revise your ordered vest size, please send me a
note.  See vest orders below.  I will order the vests tomorrow.

ARES

 

A while back I mentioned that there is very little training for ARES
volunteers, but a commitment to learn the basics and be available for
practice drills, public service events and, of course, when we have an
emergency.

 

I checked my FEMA transcript a while back and thought I have credit for the
core classes IS0100, IS0200, IS0700 and IS0800.  All have to do with the
organization of Incident command.  In the last 10 years these classes have
been enlarged to have much more content based on FEMA's lessons learned.

 

I still recommend that all volunteers take the MINIMUM of IS0100 and IS0200.
These are required to work in either an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) or
at a Red Cross Shelter.

 

Each one will take a few hours of your time but well worth it to see how we
as ARES volunteers fit into the organizational structure.

 

Now for the quiz:" Under what organizational block would ARES fit in and how
might we aid in the communications structure of a major event?  You can send
you your response with a copy of your IS0100 certificate.

 

Field Day was a success!  Why am I bring it up in ARES context?  Because it
is a very real event to prepare for a major emergency.  There are several
scenarios where we may have to set up in a field with HF radio.  Wide spread
weather disasters (I'm in Cape Coral, FL )  Not as common in Northern VA,
but good for us to practice.  You may not always be in a zone where weather
is benign.  Working HF on the receiving end is as important as those in a
disaster zone.

 

Turn out was a bit thin, but many new members did come out to operate.  

 

It's important to remember that when those who want to restrict our antennas
or take our RF spectrum attack us, our support of emergency services and
public service events is a big tool for us in keeping the commercial
frequency raiders at bey.  I have heard many hams use that as a reason to
protect our need for putting up antennas and for keeping our frequencies,
but these same hams when pressed are happy to tell me that they don't have
the time, training or desire to join ARES.  So, these hams are willing to
let other pay the bill

 

At the last meeting we talked about some work done on the trailer.   On
Field Day we found that the floor is rotting, so that will be our next
effort.  

 

The trailer now has the following equipment installed

 

Radio Shack 2096 scanner (we need to get something a little newer)

Alinco DR-235 - 220MHz FM 

Alinco DR-06T with built in TNC (6 meter FM/Packet and APRS)

Kenwood TM D-710A x 2  (2/m/70cm FM / Packet and APRS)

ICOM IC-706MKIIG with LDG Tuner HF to 70cm all mode (worked well on Field
Day)

ICOM ID-1 1.2GHz D-Star and FM

ICOM IC-2820 - 2m/70cm D-Star/FM

 

The Generac Generator which was overhauled did not want to work on Field
Day, but he club's Honda was magnificent.  

 

Work will continue on the trailer whether or not it is used on the Marine
Corps Marathon.

 

MARINE CORPS MARATHON

 

This event is kind of short notice.  The event needs about 135 operators and
all most operators need is a dual band HF and batteries.  If you can
volunteer, go to MCMHAM.ORG and MARINEMARATHON.COM and sign up under HAM
VOLUNTEER.  This needs to be done soon due to security requirements.  There
are many repeaters along the course so if you have a good antenna and about
8 hours' worth of batteries you'll have what you need.  You will get more
info if you volunteer.

 

ELMER'S INPUTS

 

I have been asked to prepare a tech talk on Go Kits.  A few short items that
come to mind.

 

1 - What is a GO KIT? - It is a collection of needed equipment that you can
assemble quickly when you need to leave your home QTH /station and go
portable.

 

2 - What should be in your GO KIT? - Depends on what you need to accomplish
and how long you need to be portable.

            A - If you are going out for a few hours to support the
Washington's Birthday parade or going to a hamfest.  Then all you need is
your HT, spare batteries, maybe a better then 'rubber duck' antenna.  

            B - If you are going out for something like the Marine Corps
Marathon, the Tour de Cure bike runs, or something where you will be out on
a trail or racecourse for most of a day, still VHF/UHF, your kit may need to
include a better battery source to last all day, you may want either an
amplifier for your HT or a mobile radio.  You may also need a mobile antenna
or a j-pole you can hang on a pole or in a tree.

            C - Summits on the Air, Parks on the Air, Field Day - Then you
expand your go kit to cover HF.  More power, larger antennas.

 

Another important aspect of go kits is the NON-RADIO side.  Table, chair,
shelter of some kind if needed.  If you are supporting something like the
Marine Corps Marathon, get an idea of whether you need to carry your gear in
or if you can have your vehicle nearby.  Even those this is a VHF/UHF
operation you still want to be sure your prepared.    

 

Just a few high points.

Hamfests -


 

The spread of COVID-19 (AKA Corona Virus) has put a major damper on hamfests
for 2020 and early 2021.  However, with people getting vaccinated, there are
more hamfests showing up on the calendar.  Let's hope this continues.

 

The Shenandoah Valley ARC has confirmed on their website that the Berryville
hamfest will be happening on August 1, 2021.  Gates open at 6 AM, breakfast
starts at 7 AM and the famous barbecue lunch starts at 11 AM.  SVARC does
ask you please wear a mask.  Here is the link for the hamfest:
<https://svarc.us/hamfest/> https://svarc.us/hamfest/

 

The Tidewater Hamfest (a.k.a. VA Beach) is returning this year on September
11 and 12.  It will be held in a new location at The Ambassador Club in
Portsmouth.  The address is 364 Peninsula Avenue in Portsmouth.  Here is the
link:       <http://virginiabeachhamfest.com/>
http://virginiabeachhamfest.com/

 

 

Training -

            

With our last class in the books, time to start planning for the next one.
Our next class is scheduled to start in early October and end in early
December.  If you know of someone who has always wanted to become a ham
radio operator, send them our way.

 

We have been hearing some of them on the air.  Be sure to welcome them to
ham radio.

 

Contests -           

*         July 10 and 11 - IARU HF World Championship.  Exchange is RST and
ITU Zone number.  We are in ITU zone 8.

*         July 17 and 18 - North American QSO Party, RTTY.  Exchange is name
and state.

*         July 17 and 18 - CQ Worldwide VHF Contest.  6 and 2 meters.
Exchange is 4-character grid square.

*         July 31 and August 1 - Missouri QSO Party.  Exchange is RST and
state.

*         August 7  and 8 - ARRL 222 MHz and Up Distance Contest.  All bands
above 222 MHz.  Exchange is 6-character grid square.

*         August 7 and 8 - North American QSO Party - CW.  Exchange is name
and state.

*         August 14 - Kentucky State Parks ion the Air.  Exchange is state.

*         August 14 and 15 - Maryland/DC QSO Party.  Exchange is entry class
and state.  Most of us operating from home will be a "standard" station.

*         August 21 and 22 - North American QSO Party - SSB.  Exchange is
name and state.   

 

 

very Sunday evening at 8 PM local time, the K1USN Radio Club sponsors the
"Slow Speed "Contest."  The exchange is similar to a QSO.  See the rules
here:  <http://www.k1usn.com/sst.html> http://www.k1usn.com/sst.html.

 

Every Tuesday at 0000 (8 PM EDT Monday for us) is the Worldwide Sideband
Activity Contest.  Exchange is RS and age group (OM, YL, Youth YL or Youth).
Here are the rules:  <https://wwsac.com/rules.html>
https://wwsac.com/rules.html

 

Don't forget, be sure to send in your log within 7 days after the contest
ends for all ARRL sponsored contests.  ARRL now uses a web application for
contest log submissions.  Here is the link:
<http://contest-log-submission.arrl.org/>
http://contest-log-submission.arrl.org/  Be sure to convert your file to
Cabrillo format before submitting.  Most logging programs support the
Cabrillo format.

 

REMEMBER to support the CLUB'S score for contests by providing Ian, N8IK
your info (Name, Call sign and Grid Square location) and submit your scores
for the contests you play in.  If the contest asks for a club affiliation,
the Alexandria Radio Club is on the list of contest clubs.  Contesting is
one way we show that we are using our frequency allocations. 

 

Contests may not be your thing, but contests are a great way to show outside
interests we do use our valuable spectrum.  By showing we use our spectrum,
other services will have a hard time proving that we don't use our spectrum
and it's up for re-allocation to someone else.  

 

Contests can also be a great way to become introduced to HF communications.
While it can be intense, pick the contest and jump in.  Most contests have a
limited exchange so it is usually easy to get what the other station needs.

 

State QSO parties are a great introduction to contesting.  Most are low-key
and the exchange is limited.   

 

Speaking of state QSO parties, there is now a state QSO party challenge.
You can start accumulating multipliers by submitting a log in any state or
provincial QSO party to 3830scores.com QSOParty Groups.io.forum and State
QSOParty.com. 

 

 

Repeaters -

 

The club repeaters are all up and running.  The DSTAR repeaters are seeing a
lot of activity.  We have been linking the 70 cm repeater to Reflector 001C,
the world-wide reflector and the 23 cm repeater to Reflector 030C, another
busy reflector.  If you want to link to another reflector, be sure to unlink
the repeater first and then link to the reflector of your choice.  All we
ask is you unlink the reflector you were listening on when you are finished
listening.   

 

The DMR side is working normally with access to the DMR servers.  If you use
the DMRVA codeplugs, they have updated codeplugs on their website with some
of the new DMR repeaters.  The codeplugs include more than just the DMRVA
system repeaters.  Their website is   <http://www.dmrva.org/>
http://www.dmrva.org/

 

DMRVA has announced on their website they will be partnering with the
Hospital Emergency Amateur Radio Service (HEARS).  HEARS operates linked
repeaters primarily located in Southwest Virginia, North and South Carolina.
New talkgroups will be added to the DMRVA system and at least one talkgroup
will be deleted.  We will have the details as soon as we see them.  

 

In case you missed it, N8IK sent out a "Handy Intro Guide to DMR."  It does
a great job explaining some of the terms you hear about DMR.

   

We have resumed (semi-regularly) the follow-on net on one of the other
repeaters after the Thursday net on the 2-meter analog repeater.    

 

Ian, N8IK, has started a Wednesday night DSTAR net on the 145.380 MHz
repeater at 8 PM.  We have linked the repeater to Reflector 62B so members
and former members outside the local area can join in.  Some time ago, I
asked the folks who maintain the lists of DSTAR reflectors to create a
Virginia perma-link reflector.  Many other states have them.  Be sure to put
Reflector 62B in your DSTAR programming.  

 

As always, ham it up and get on the air.

 

73, Rich, KA4GFY

preparedness
*	Learn to operate in abnormal situations
*	Acquaint the general public with the capabilities of Amateur Radio

 

Field Day under COVID-19 Conditions

 Don KI4D convinced ARRL upper echelons to grant a waiver for Field Day 2020
because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The waiver made it possible for ARC to
operate as a "club" during Field Day, with some differences from the past.
The waiver has two important provisions: 1.) allowing QSO points for class
"D" to class "D" station contacts and 2.) summing of individual scores into
an aggregate "club" score.  Field Day rules defines a class "D" station as a
home station on commercial power.

*	No public event involved
*	No Band Captains
*	Recommended Classes of Operation (B, C, or E)
*	Recommended Bonus Points
*	Identification of Club Operators
*	Collect "Club" logged contacts for Consolidation
*	Field Day QSOs should be conducted using individual ham call signs
with logs provided to N8IK or ARRL https://field-day.arrl.org/fdentry.php

Field Day Class Rules:

*	Class B - Battery
*	Class C - Mobile
*	Class D - Home Station using commercial power
*	Class E - Home Station using Emergency Power

Field Day Logging Software:

The following logging software is known to offer support for Field Day, and
can be used for logging field day contacts.

*	FDLog
*	N3FJP
*	N1MM+
*	SkookumLogger (Mac OS)

It was a delight to experience Field Day 2021 again with the absence of
Field Day last year.  The last-minute change from a virtual Field Day to an
in-person Field Day did not lessen the enjoyment.  Thanks to Ian for quickly
organizing and conducting a superb Field Day 2021 for our club members.  It
was good to see some of our newest club members step into action during
Field Day.  Todd Taylor and Jason Palmer proved that digital modes have a
strong future in our Field Day operations of the future.   A highlight of
Field Day was a visit by the City of Alexandria Fire Chief, Chief Corey
Smedley.  Photos taken at ARC Field Day 2021 have been uploaded to the
following link:   <https://photos.app.goo.gl/dqDCU64AUTftN5iQ8>
https://photos.app.goo.gl/dqDCU64AUTftN5iQ8. 

 

Regular club meeting events are still subject COVID-19 restrictions at our
normal meeting location, the City of Alexandria Police Headquarters
building.  Until we are notified those restrictions are lifted and that we
may resume our regular meetings, we will continue with virtual club meetings
using Zoom.

 

The June 11 monthly featured the Field Day 2021 briefing by Ian Keith, Field
Day Chair.   The briefing can be viewed at:

haring. The briefing began with a discussions of club concerns about
COVID-19, the safety of attendees, and safety precautions developed by club
leadership for Field Day.  Field Day safety precautions were:

 Fully vaccinated attendees can remove masks, but masks are preferred, if
not social distancing

*	Partially or unvaccinated attendees are strongly encouraged to wear
masks with social distancing as a health precaution for everyone
*	Those who are ill should not attend
*	No food or beverages will be provided by the club, except for
bottled water
*	Hand sanitizer and Lysol wipes will be provided by the club
*	Field Day 2021 safety officer duties will include a focus on health
safety precautions
*	Make sure to sign in  --  beyond ARRL attendance reporting, the
sign-in roster will be used in case there is a COVID-19 problem

 

On June 2, Alexandria Radio Club launched its first Tech Talk series with a
Tech Talk #1.  The talk featured a discussion of "Repeaters, how they work
and much more" given by Tim (KT4MV). Tim's presentation on amateur radio
repeaters included: Basic concepts, Locations, Equipment, Repeater
controllers, Duplexers, PL tones, Voting systems and remote receivers,
Remote links, Antennas and lightning protection, and Coordination. Thanks to
Tim (KT4MV) for a great presentation.  Tech Talk #1 has been posted for your

haring.  Tech Talk topics are based on a club survey conducted this past
spring.  However, all sessions are open to all hams.  These talks will be
conducted monthly during the coming months. The purpose of these sessions is
to provide an opportunity for in-depth conversations, including Q&A, on a
variety of ham radio topics.  This follows up on ideas from club members
desiring to build on their knowledge of ham radio.  It is also hoped that
these sessions will build on club mentoring efforts for our newest hams and
will serve to promote their continuing interest in club activities. Finally,
it is hoped that these sessions will lead to more interest in operator
license upgrades enabled by increased knowledge of ham radio.  A list of
coming Tech Talk topics is enclosed at the end of this email.

 

This month, we are again delighted and fortunate to have several new club
members. New club members joining since last month are Brian Cavanaugh
(KOQQZ), Darrin Leleux Jason (KO3SFQ) and Dan Beckler (K9DGB). Please
welcome all of them

 

Most ARES Safety vests were delivered during Field Day weekend for those who
attended.  The remaining vests are being held pending delivery.  As
announced during the June club meeting delivery of polo shirts with club
logos have been delayed due to a lack of availability from the shirt vendor.
Club members decided to wait 30 days for availability after June 29th.

Subject: Safety Vest Sizing

 

In reviewing and finalizing the vest order, I am wondering if consideration
was given to winter wear of these vests as well as summer wear.  Since coats
are apt to be worn during the George Washington Day Parade event and other
winter events, would one size larger than a normal shirt size be needed in
such cases.  I spoke with a DX Engineering rep and he did not know whether
the vests run as sized, larger or smaller.  His only idea was to buy two
vests as some of his outdoor construction contractor friends do.  If you
would like to reconsider and revise your ordered vest size, please send me a
note.  See vest orders below.  I will order the vests tomorrow.

ARES

 

A while back I mentioned that there is very little training for ARES
volunteers, but a commitment to learn the basics and be available for
practice drills, public service events and, of course, when we have an
emergency.

 

I checked my FEMA transcript a while back and thought I have credit for the
core classes IS0100, IS0200, IS0700 and IS0800.  All have to do with the
organization of Incident command.  In the last 10 years these classes have
been enlarged to have much more content based on FEMA's lessons learned.

 

I still recommend that all volunteers take the MINIMUM of IS0100 and IS0200.
These are required to work in either an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) or
at a Red Cross Shelter.

 

Each one will take a few hours of your time but well worth it to see how we
as ARES volunteers fit into the organizational structure.

 

Now for the quiz:" Under what organizational block would ARES fit in and how
might we aid in the communications structure of a major event?  You can send
you your response with a copy of your IS0100 certificate.

 

Field Day was a success!  Why am I bring it up in ARES context?  Because it
is a very real event to prepare for a major emergency.  There are several
scenarios where we may have to set up in a field with HF radio.  Wide spread
weather disasters (I'm in Cape Coral, FL )  Not as common in Northern VA,
but good for us to practice.  You may not always be in a zone where weather
is benign.  Working HF on the receiving end is as important as those in a
disaster zone.

 

Turn out was a bit thin, but many new members did come out to operate.  

 

It's important to remember that when those who want to restrict our antennas
or take our RF spectrum attack us, our support of emergency services and
public service events is a big tool for us in keeping the commercial
frequency raiders at bey.  I have heard many hams use that as a reason to
protect our need for putting up antennas and for keeping our frequencies,
but these same hams when pressed are happy to tell me that they don't have
the time, training or desire to join ARES.  So, these hams are willing to
let other pay the bill

 

At the last meeting we talked about some work done on the trailer.   On
Field Day we found that the floor is rotting, so that will be our next
effort.  

 

The trailer now has the following equipment installed

 

Radio Shack 2096 scanner (we need to get something a little newer)

Alinco DR-235 - 220MHz FM 

Alinco DR-06T with built in TNC (6 meter FM/Packet and APRS)

Kenwood TM D-710A x 2  (2/m/70cm FM / Packet and APRS)

ICOM IC-706MKIIG with LDG Tuner HF to 70cm all mode (worked well on Field
Day)

ICOM ID-1 1.2GHz D-Star and FM

ICOM IC-2820 - 2m/70cm D-Star/FM

 

The Generac Generator which was overhauled did not want to work on Field
Day, but he club's Honda was magnificent.  

 

Work will continue on the trailer whether or not it is used on the Marine
Corps Marathon.

 

MARINE CORPS MARATHON

 

This event is kind of short notice.  The event needs about 135 operators and
all most operators need is a dual band HF and batteries.  If you can
volunteer, go to MCMHAM.ORG and MARINEMARATHON.COM and sign up under HAM
VOLUNTEER.  This needs to be done soon due to security requirements.  There
are many repeaters along the course so if you have a good antenna and about
8 hours' worth of batteries you'll have what you need.  You will get more
info if you volunteer.

 

ELMER'S INPUTS

 

I have been asked to prepare a tech talk on Go Kits.  A few short items that
come to mind.

 

1 - What is a GO KIT? - It is a collection of needed equipment that you can
assemble quickly when you need to leave your home QTH /station and go
portable.

 

2 - What should be in your GO KIT? - Depends on what you need to accomplish
and how long you need to be portable.

            A - If you are going out for a few hours to support the
Washington's Birthday parade or going to a hamfest.  Then all you need is
your HT, spare batteries, maybe a better then 'rubber duck' antenna.  

            B - If you are going out for something like the Marine Corps
Marathon, the Tour de Cure bike runs, or something where you will be out on
a trail or racecourse for most of a day, still VHF/UHF, your kit may need to
include a better battery source to last all day, you may want either an
amplifier for your HT or a mobile radio.  You may also need a mobile antenna
or a j-pole you can hang on a pole or in a tree.

            C - Summits on the Air, Parks on the Air, Field Day - Then you
expand your go kit to cover HF.  More power, larger antennas.

 

Another important aspect of go kits is the NON-RADIO side.  Table, chair,
shelter of some kind if needed.  If you are supporting something like the
Marine Corps Marathon, get an idea of whether you need to carry your gear in
or if you can have your vehicle nearby.  Even those this is a VHF/UHF
operation you still want to be sure your prepared.    

 

Just a few high points.

Hamfests -

 

The spread of COVID-19 (AKA Corona Virus) has put a major damper on hamfests
for 2020 and early 2021.  However, with people getting vaccinated, there are
more hamfests showing up on the calendar.  Let's hope this continues.

 

The Shenandoah Valley ARC has confirmed on their website that the Berryville
hamfest will be happening on August 1, 2021.  Gates open at 6 AM, breakfast
starts at 7 AM and the famous barbecue lunch starts at 11 AM.  SVARC does
ask you please wear a mask.  Here is the link for the hamfest:
<https://svarc.us/hamfest/> https://svarc.us/hamfest/

 

The Tidewater Hamfest (a.k.a. VA Beach) is returning this year on September
11 and 12.  It will be held in a new location at The Ambassador Club in
Portsmouth.  The address is 364 Peninsula Avenue in Portsmouth.  Here is the
link:       <http://virginiabeachhamfest.com/>
http://virginiabeachhamfest.com/

 

 

Training -

            

With our last class in the books, time to start planning for the next one.
Our next class is scheduled to start in early October and end in early
December.  If you know of someone who has always wanted to become a ham
radio operator, send them our way.

 

We have been hearing some of them on the air.  Be sure to welcome them to
ham radio.

 

Contests -           

*         July 10 and 11 - IARU HF World Championship.  Exchange is RST and
ITU Zone number.  We are in ITU zone 8.

*         July 17 and 18 - North American QSO Party, RTTY.  Exchange is name
and state.

*         July 17 and 18 - CQ Worldwide VHF Contest.  6 and 2 meters.
Exchange is 4-character grid square.

*         July 31 and August 1 - Missouri QSO Party.  Exchange is RST and
state.

*         August 7  and 8 - ARRL 222 MHz and Up Distance Contest.  All bands
above 222 MHz.  Exchange is 6-character grid square.

*         August 7 and 8 - North American QSO Party - CW.  Exchange is name
and state.

*         August 14 - Kentucky State Parks ion the Air.  Exchange is state.

*         August 14 and 15 - Maryland/DC QSO Party.  Exchange is entry class
and state.  Most of us operating from home will be a "standard" station.

*         August 21 and 22 - North American QSO Party - SSB.  Exchange is
name and state.   

 

 

very Sunday evening at 8 PM local time, the K1USN Radio Club sponsors the
"Slow Speed "Contest."  The exchange is similar to a QSO.  See the rules
here:  <http://www.k1usn.com/sst.html> http://www.k1usn.com/sst.html.

 

Every Tuesday at 0000 (8 PM EDT Monday for us) is the Worldwide Sideband
Activity Contest.  Exchange is RS and age group (OM, YL, Youth YL or Youth).
Here are the rules:  <https://wwsac.com/rules.html>
https://wwsac.com/rules.html

 

Don't forget, be sure to send in your log within 7 days after the contest
ends for all ARRL sponsored contests.  ARRL now uses a web application for
contest log submissions.  Here is the link:
<http://contest-log-submission.arrl.org/>
http://contest-log-submission.arrl.org/  Be sure to convert your file to
Cabrillo format before submitting.  Most logging programs support the
Cabrillo format.

 

REMEMBER to support the CLUB'S score for contests by providing Ian, N8IK
your info (Name, Call sign and Grid Square location) and submit your scores
for the contests you play in.  If the contest asks for a club affiliation,
the Alexandria Radio Club is on the list of contest clubs.  Contesting is
one way we show that we are using our frequency allocations. 

 

Contests may not be your thing, but contests are a great way to show outside
interests we do use our valuable spectrum.  By showing we use our spectrum,
other services will have a hard time proving that we don't use our spectrum
and it's up for re-allocation to someone else.  

 

Contests can also be a great way to become introduced to HF communications.
While it can be intense, pick the contest and jump in.  Most contests have a
limited exchange so it is usually easy to get what the other station needs.

 

State QSO parties are a great introduction to contesting.  Most are low-key
and the exchange is limited.   

 

Speaking of state QSO parties, there is now a state QSO party challenge.
You can start accumulating multipliers by submitting a log in any state or
provincial QSO party to 3830scores.com QSOParty Groups.io.forum and State
QSOParty.com. 

 

 

Repeaters -

 

The club repeaters are all up and running.  The DSTAR repeaters are seeing a
lot of activity.  We have been linking the 70 cm repeater to Reflector 001C,
the world-wide reflector and the 23 cm repeater to Reflector 030C, another
busy reflector.  If you want to link to another reflector, be sure to unlink
the repeater first and then link to the reflector of your choice.  All we
ask is you unlink the reflector you were listening on when you are finished
listening.   

 

The DMR side is working normally with access to the DMR servers.  If you use
the DMRVA codeplugs, they have updated codeplugs on their website with some
of the new DMR repeaters.  The codeplugs include more than just the DMRVA
system repeaters.  Their website is   <http://www.dmrva.org/>
http://www.dmrva.org/

 

DMRVA has announced on their website they will be partnering with the
Hospital Emergency Amateur Radio Service (HEARS).  HEARS operates linked
repeaters primarily located in Southwest Virginia, North and South Carolina.
New talkgroups will be added to the DMRVA system and at least one talkgroup
will be deleted.  We will have the details as soon as we see them.  

 

In case you missed it, N8IK sent out a "Handy Intro Guide to DMR."  It does
a great job explaining some of the terms you hear about DMR.

   

We have resumed (semi-regularly) the follow-on net on one of the other
repeaters after the Thursday net on the 2-meter analog repeater.    

 

Ian, N8IK, has started a Wednesday night DSTAR net on the 145.380 MHz
repeater at 8 PM.  We have linked the repeater to Reflector 62B so members
and former members outside the local area can join in.  Some time ago, I
asked the folks who maintain the lists of DSTAR reflectors to create a
Virginia perma-link reflector.  Many other states have them.  Be sure to put
Reflector 62B in your DSTAR programming.  

 

As always, ham it up and get on the air.

 

73, Rich, KA4GFY

Hi

 

We are a go.   It is time to sign up as a ham to support the 45th Marine
Corp Marathon on Oct 31, 2021.

 

We do not know much yet.  What we do know is that the course will most
likely be the same as 2019 and there will about half of the number of 2019
runners.

 

The sign up process consists of two sign up sites.

 

The first is the ham site where we obtain/update your information and
equipment.    https://www.mcmham.org

 

The second step is to sign up with the Marine Corp Marathon web site:
https://xactllc.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/?id=55865

 

You must sign up on both sites.

Alexandria Radio Club is inviting you to a scheduled monthly meeting via
Zoom.  

 

Time: July 9, 2021 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Featured Topic: AREDN: "That Other Kind of Net" by Joe Porcelli (KT3I)

 

Joe will discuss an overview of AREDN and its capabilities and limitations.
Lessons learned from prior deployments including MCM Deployments and testing
with Marine Corp G6 and DOT will be discussed.  The lessons learned will
lead into a short discussion on equipment selection. The program will then
conclude with a discussion about how the Club can best leverage AREDN to
serve the City of Alexandria in case of disasters/emergencies. 

 

>From a young age Joe was interested in both computers and radio.  At 14 he
got his golden ham ticket, with the callsign KB3EDR around this time he
started a small computer concern that specialized in building small to
medium sized computer networks for businesses.  In college Joe studied
Electrical Engineering where he concentrated in control theory.   After
college Joe worked as control systems engineer and systems programmer for
few years before branching out into the consulting world.  For the past ten
years Joe has been employed as a Firefighter/Hazmat Specialist with the City
of Alexandria, as well as, maintaining a small consulting business around
prototyping.

Message-ID: <075501d77dae$48ffe3b0$daffab10$@gmail.com>

This note is a reminder about the "Go-kit" Tech Talk presentation by Rick
Bunn (N4ASX) next week.  If you have a "go-kit" you want to "show and tell"
to club members, please send your photos to Rick and me as soon as you can
so that we can insert them into the presentation.  Once we receive your
photo, we will place in in a PowerPoint slide and provide you with a slide
template for adding details about your go-kit hardware and operating
capabilities.  We have 5 kits so far, but we are expecting more.  At some
point we may reach a limit to the number of kits we can cover during this
time-limited presentation.  Thanks for your cooperation.

Anyone have a NoVA codeplug for DMR TYT radios?
Derek - check http://www.dmrva.org/downloads/ also. Our DMR repeater uses
the DMRVA talkgroups.
73, Ian N8IK


Greetings Ian ! I'm (most probably) one of the earliest (1976-1986+) and
also one of "newest" Alex RC members. I haven't been organized enough to
make the nets but that's da plan. I saw tonight's D-Star "short" net
mention and would come play but I think you may need to
add/authorize/provision me (whatever the vernacular) so my ancient
IC-51A-Plus is recognized. Right ? I think I saw that you are the D-Star
administrator. I've also collected several DMR radios that I think are
programmed properly but, then again, maybe not since the traffic seems
lighter than I'd expect. I'd LOVE to see a really well designed
NoVa-centric codeplug. I've been a friend of KA3LAO/ John Sichert's since
the 80's and he provided me the MD/Pa data a while ago, along with his
philosophy on codeplug setup. My DMR junk is mostly TYT. Any help/tips
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Derek WB4DAM (Pretty much located
across the street from our once favorite Atlantis Restaurant and SOON to be
some other "diner" that I know will not be as good.)

I second the DMRVA Codeplug.  It's plug and play.  My TYT MD 380 worked as it should when I loaded it.

As for the ID-51A, you can access use the DSTAR repeater without gateway registration.  In order to use the gateway functions, you will need to register through DSTARUsrers.org.  Here is the link to W4HFH:

https://www.w4hfhdstar.org/Dstar.do

Look for us at Berryville.  We will be on 147.315 MHz, 446.025 MHz DSTAR and 441.000 MHz, color code 1, taklgroup 99 on DMR.

73,
Rich, KA4GFY

Message-ID: <CAC=0mEXWe722i433bdM6s9hZfv7X9MFr8xFrFSpBY_F_iwaPmg@mail.gmail.com>

Berryville Hamfest is this weekend on Sunday August 1st..  Here is the
link to the hamfest flyer: https://svarc.us/hamfest/

 With so many new hams who have hot yet been to a hamfest because of
the COVID-19 situation, you might be wondering how to find other
Alexandria Radio Club members once you get there.

Like many other clubs, we use simplex on the output frequency of our 2
meter (147.315 MHz)

We also use 446.025 MHz DSTAR and 441.000 MHz DMR, color code 1, talk
group 99, both on simplex frequencies.

Gates open at 6 AM.  Many of us will be heading out that way between
5:30 and 6 AM and listening on 147.315 MHz simplex on the way out.  .
 .  .

Breakfast starts t 7 AM and lunch starts at 11 AM.  The BBQ lunch is
well worth the trip.

Message-ID: <103301d782d4$255fec40$701fc4c0$@gmail.com>

Alexandria Radio Club is inviting you to a Tech-Talk via Zoom on July 28th.
This is the second Tech-Talk in a series of talks to be held via Zoom by
Alexandria Radio Club.  These topics are the results of a club survey
conducted this past spring with club members.  All sessions are open to all
hams.  These talks will be conducted monthly during the coming months. The
purpose of these sessions is to provide an opportunity for in-depth
conversations, including Q&A, on a variety of ham radio topics.  This
follows up on ideas from club members desiring to build on their knowledge
of ham radio.  It is also hoped that these sessions will build on club
mentoring efforts for our newest hams and will serve to promote their
continuing interest in club activities.  Finally, it is hoped that these
sessions will lead to more interest in operator license upgrades enabled by
increased knowledge of ham radio.  

 

This Tech Talk is scheduled as follows:

 

Topic: Alexandria Radio Club Tech-Talk on Go-kits, by Rick Bunn, N4ASX 

Time: Jul 28, 2021 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

 

Rick Bunn (N4ASX) has been a member of the Alexandria Radio Club for over 40
years, and has the honor of being selected as a Life Time Member of the
Alexandria Radio Club for his many contributions to the club.  Rick's
tech-talk presentation on Go-kits will include a "What's a GO KIT and why do
you I want one,"  and "What makes up a GO KIT."  In his presentation, Rick
will also lead a panel of other club members who have volunteered to share
what is in their go kits and their capabilities.

Smithsonian has an Amateur Radio Club!

Amateur radio, otherwise known as ham radio, is a popular hobby and service
that brings people, electronics, and communications together. People use
amateur radio to talk across town, around the world, or even into space,
all without the internet or cell phones. It's fun, social, educational, and
can be a lifeline during times of need. Radio communications have many
research, educational and emergency applications.

The Smithsonian operated a full amateur radio station ?NN3SI? in the
National Museum of American History from 1976-2008. In 2008, the amateur
radio station was taken offline and put into storage. Beginning in 2019,
amateur radio has returned as a new pan-Smithsonian activity, the
Smithsonian amateur radio group.

We have several radio communications activities planned over the next
several years, and we would love your participation. Whether you are an
experienced radio operator, or just interested to learn more, please join
us!

Our group is currently meeting monthly by remote using Zoom. For additional
information, please send an email tonn3si at si.edu < Caution-mailto:
nn3si at si.edu > .

Very cool!

I visited the station many years ago when I first moved here in 1986.
It was in an out of the way place in the American History museum.

It was sad to see it dismantled, but somebody had the foresight to
keep the license active.  Glad to see the powers that be at the
Smithsonian realized they should put it back.

I suspect that a station there is dependent upon a ham - staffer willing to sponsor and look after it.  If at times there are none on staff, it risks going back into storage.

That's my guess, but that's how I've seen this play out at other places.

Good news, indeed.

Very cool!

I visited the station many years ago when I first moved here in 1986.
It was in an out of the way place in the American History museum.

It was sad to see it dismantled, but somebody had the foresight to keep the license active.  Glad to see the powers that be at the Smithsonian realized they should put it back.

Alexandria Radio Club is inviting you to a Tech-Talk via Zoom on July 28th.
This is the second Tech-Talk in a series of talks to be held via Zoom by
Alexandria Radio Club.  These topics are the results of a club survey
conducted this past spring with club members.  All sessions are open to all
hams.  These talks will be conducted monthly during the coming months. The
purpose of these sessions is to provide an opportunity for in-depth
conversations, including Q&A, on a variety of ham radio topics.  This
follows up on ideas from club members desiring to build on their knowledge
of ham radio.  It is also hoped that these sessions will build on club
mentoring efforts for our newest hams and will serve to promote their
continuing interest in club activities.  Finally, it is hoped that these
sessions will lead to more interest in operator license upgrades enabled by
increased knowledge of ham radio.  

 

This Tech Talk is scheduled as follows:

 

Topic: Alexandria Radio Club Tech-Talk on Go-kits, by Rick Bunn, N4ASX 

Time: Jul 28, 2021 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

 

Rick Bunn (N4ASX) has been a member of the Alexandria Radio Club for over 40
years, and has the honor of being selected as a Life Time Member of the
Alexandria Radio Club for his many contributions to the club.  Rick's
tech-talk presentation on Go-kits will include a "What's a GO KIT and why do
you I want one,"  and "What makes up a GO KIT."  In his presentation, Rick
will also lead a panel of other club members who have volunteered to share
what is in their go kits and their capabilities.

Radio Amateur Training Planning and Activities Committee (RATPAC) comprises ARRL section managers, appointed field leadership, and membership. Together, we host nationwide Amateur Radio Zoom presentations twice-a-week, Wednesdays on general radio topics and Thursdays on amateur radio emergency communications. The topics are selected from audience recommendations that the planning committee then seeks topic experts or discussion panel members. The presentation audience consists of thousands of amateur radio operators worldwide who participate directly in the Zoom sessions or with video links of the presentation and related documentation sent out after each session.
