All,


We're just 10 days away from our 10M SSB simplex experiment.   To date, I've received  responses from the following operators who would like to participate:


AB3LE ...   fixed op from home QTH

N3PPH  ...  portable/mobile op

KB3RAN ... portable/mobile op

K3UGA ...   portable/mobile op

KH6CUJ  ... portable op  ??

W3PQS ...  portable/mobile op

KB3SXB ...  fixed op from the Drum Point Community Center


If I missed someone, please let me know.


See the rough plans below.  I'D LIKE TO HAVE A PLANNING NET ON THE 146.985 REPEATER THIS WEDNESDAY EVENING, May 8th, AT 07:30 PM to discuss.



The plan is to spread the portable/mobile operators around the county.  Looking for your assistance in determining the actual locations.  This means having you do some recon prior to May 15th.   You will need to find a spot suitable for your antenna plans and hopefully in a location that doesn't draw too much attention.  I'm working on the basis of forgiveness rather than permission, but if you see a good spot and want to ask the owner for permission, feel free.  Bring your RACES badge if you have one.  I'm assuming your antenna choices are somewhat self-contained, perhaps using a mast held down by your vehicle to support a dipole, but not something that looks like a 18A field day op.     School parking lots are off limits.


Here's my initial suggestions.  The specific locations suggested below may or may not work out, but something in the general area is desired. 



N3PPH  ....   American Chestnut Land Trust trail parking area off of Double Oak Rd


KB3RAN...   Jefferson Patterson Park


K3UGA ...     Sneade's Home Center upper parking lot or Mt Hope Community Center parking lot.


KH6CUJ ..    Bowen's Grocery parking lot  (I'll ask Gordon Bowen for his OK).


W3PQS ...    Dunkirk District Park


N3AE ...       Hallowing Point Park



During the actual exercise on the 15th, we will also use the 146.985 repeater for coordination.  Proposed starting time is 0900 departure from your QTH but with intent to be on the air (10M SSB  at 28.350MHz) by 10:30.   We'll run the comm test for an hour or less and then meet somewhere for lunch around 12:00.


Critical data needed from the event:

  1.  Your exact location (latitude/longitude)

  2.  Antenna type and height (include info on polarization....horz or vert or in-between; i.e. sloper)

  3.  Antenna compass orientation (for antennas with directivity)

  4.  RF Power used

  5.  Your ability to copy the other stations

         Green = Good copy of the other station
         Yellow = Difficult copy of the other station
         Red = No copy of the other station


If the weather forecast the night before looks bad, I'll postpone the exercise to another date and notify everyone by email.


Thanks to all that have volunteered to participate.


OBTW ... the intent of this exercise to to see how well 10M SSB covers the county using a mix of portable, mobile and fixed stations.  Not interested in how you power your station.  Batteries, vehicle or AC mains....doesn't matter.

Ooooops, countdown has started, guess I better get going! I have a question though. Ace hardware is pretty crowded during the day...even in the middle of the week. Mt Hope is high elevation, but can get pretty congested too. let me check them out to be sure. Also a good test might include a bad low area (North Beach /Chesapeake Beach)? ( not my qth.) I would have to find an open area there, possibly the parking lot at the community center in Chesapeake Beach along Fishing Creek? That?s low, maybe 6 ft above sea level.

My idea was to get a spot somewhere near North Beach/Chesapeake Beach but not so low elevation as to make success unlikely.  

But ...

Looking at the Calvert map, I spot near the water may have a path mostly over water to the south (CRE, Drum Point), with perhaps Cove Point in the way.   

If you want to give the over-the-water path a test, go for it.

OBTW.  I'd hoped we could have one station on the grounds of the Cove Point lighthouse but it's not open to the public on the date and hours of our exercise.

Sounds good to me.? Looking forward to setting up a 10 meter dipole and a screwdriver antenna.? I doubt that I can participate in a 2 meter net.? I can listen but can't hit the repeater.? Oh, and I have a meeting that will have me busy.? Please send me any significant findings via email.? Thanks.

All,


We're just 10 days away from our 10M SSB simplex experiment.? To date, I've received? responses from the following operators who would like to participate:

I will check Fishing Creek, then towards the end, maybe try Mt Hope. Just use jeep power, no gen set so I can move quicker. Got a new idea on simpler antenna setup, easy setup/ takedown. Will try to test out maybe Wednesday when we go to Drum Point to map repeater coverage.

All,


Maryland Region V hospitals (https://www.mdregionv.org/faqs/) are having a full scale emergency exercise on Thursday, May 23rd.


We may be asked to:


1. Man our VHF/UHF station at the Calvert Health Department in Prince Frederick


2. Be available at our home stations to handle VHF Winlink Packet and/or HF Winlink WINMOR traffic.


If you are available and would like to participate in either of the above two roles, please let me know.


The exercise will be during working hours (likely 8am to 3pm) but I do not have the exact start time yet nor the exercise scenario.  Hopefully more on that soon.

All,


Our monthly meeting is this Tuesday, May 21st, 7:30 at the Calvert Services Building in Prince Frederick.  I hope to present the results of our 10 meter SSB exercise at the meeting.


Also this week is a POTENTIAL activation of the Calvert Health Department station as part of the Region V Hospital full scale exercise.  Hoping to hear from the health department POC on Monday.


I've been looking into alternative venues for the monthly AUXCOMM meeting.  One good prospect is the Huntingtown VFD.

I can get the room at Chesapeake Ranch Estates where we taught the General Class also if needed for AuxComm.I'm home from Hamvention and will do my report in the morning. I'm wiped out from driving all day.
