Today at 10:40 at the County Commissioners Meeting they will consider a Homeland Security Grant of $100,000 which is $30,000 more than they expected.? Part of this money is now earmarked for RACES equipment upgrades.? It would be a great day to show up at the commissioners meeting with your RACES vests to show that we appreciate these $$$. ?
2nd Floor of County Courthouse, Commissioners Meeting Room.? You will have to pass metal detectors, so plan accordingly.

If I had been home, I would have liked to attend....hope some could. Would be nice to see if they accepted the total grant, and how it will be spent. As you can see they didn't request ARES money when applying for grant ($30k more than expected?).

After this weeks lunch, it was decided that we would go to Adams Rib in Prince Frederick for lunch  Wednesday March 18.
Seems like it was forward with regular business as usual; that being said the bottom seemed to fall out of the bucket today with the Maryland covid-19 situation. The scary part is the 60 year old in Prince Georges County, that is positive, but hasn't been anywhere as the others affected were. 
With all the precautions, and most of us in the high risk category (mature persons of leisure) should we meet at the accustomed resturant site; or bring a bag lunch to an open park site outside and enjoy nature? Or maybe postpone lunch in favor of a lunch net on 10, 6, 2 meters? Or even Winlink some with good rf connections through the digipeaters or for the lack of good connection....use the internet mode? There is plenty of time to eat while using winlink lol! 
Just a thought, maybe making too much of the reports from the media? But maybe we could get some practice in, even if we only need it among ourselves.
Please return some feedback on your thoughts of this matter, or if you think this is too much and doesnt matter.     
Otherwise the secret lunch will be a secret.

I'm dreaming of a 2 meter repeater that is up and running very soon.? So a lunch net on 2, 6 or 10 meters sounds like a safe alternative for now. And then we can try WinLink and send some messages about what we're eating.
?I understand Calvert County Senior Centers will be closed starting Monday as well as the schools.? I'm not sure if that includes Community Centers but expect that will happen soon. ?

Message-ID: <1577446556.505508.1584106582849@connect.xfinity.com>

All,

No point in meeting face to face with the current COVID-19 guidance, plus availability of the usual meeting spot could change depending on the county government's office status.

So rather than a meeting on March 17, we will have a net on 28.350 USB at 7:30 PM local.

I'd like to poll everyone to find out if you have 6M FM capability.  Please let me know if you can get on 6M FM.    If there's enough, I'd like to try 6M on the W3PQS repeater after the 10M net.  The W3PQS repeater is 52.170 input, 53.170 output, PL 100.0 Hz.   The RX site for this split-site repeater is at my QTH and uses a 6M ground plane at about 65 ft height.   So your 6M antenna would ideally be a vertical, not horizontal.

A brief status of our other repeaters:

The 2M repeater is down.  The 2M antenna and/or transmission line at PF is severely compromised.  The SWR is acceptable but very little power is actually radiated (i.e. it's a leaky dummy load).    But a fortuitous recent relocation of Maryland DNR radios may result in permission to use the abandoned DNR VHF and UHF antennas at PF.  One of these VHF antennas was tested this week and found to be completely suitable for 2M amateur radio.   Working on getting the 2M repeater up again but timing and location not 100% clear at this moment.  We did install a permanent 2M antenna at the hospital this week but the adjacent equipment room is not ready to receive our equipment yet. 

The K3CAL 444.950 MHz repeater is up and running at the Sunderland site.  Coverage is good in the mid and north county but poor in the south county.

W3PQS is up and running on 53.170 MHz.

The K3CAL-1 digipeater is up and running at Sunderland on 145.750 MHz

The K3CAL-10 digipeater is running at PF on 145.070 MHz but it's connected to the known-bad 2M antenna and has a very small coverage footprint.

Shawn,
I am 6 meter capable.  I just have to set up the PL tone and shift freq.  Hope to get to that by Tuesday.  See you on 28.350, and I expect to pick up on 6 meters, too.  Thanks, Shawn, good idea.

We did install a permanent 2M antenna at the hospital this week but the adjacent equipment room is not ready to receive our equipment yet.

All,

This afternoon I dropped by the Calvert health department to check our radio setup.  All the equipment is working fine.  I successfully sent some Winlink packet messages using KB3FWW-10 direct on 145.070 and KA3POX-10 via the K3CAL-1 digipeater on 145.750.  Voice comm checked on the CARA 440 repeater, Davidsonville 147.105, the 447.075 link system node and some others.

John at the health department provided a second laptop with an actual RS-232 port but upgraded to Windows 10.  Latest versions of Winlink Express and Simple Terminal were loaded, configured and tested.  The older Windows 7 laptop was also updated to the latest version of Winlink Express but lacks a RS-232 port so a USB to RS-232 dongle is required (one was not available so I used mine).

The only annoying anomaly noted was occasional very strong digital QRM on 145.070 MHz (the KB3FWW-10 gateway frequency).   The source of this QRM is unknown but isn't from an amateur service.  I do not hear at at my QTH 2 miles away to the NW so it must be local or towards the south of the health department.

At this time we have not received any requests to activate for any agencies.  Should the situation change I'll let you know via this reflector or the telephone tree if necessary.

Stay safe and wash your hands frequently.

Thanks Shawn.
Shaking out the dust in the room today. Sent out winlink emails (check your mailboxes) via winlink email and regular email via winlink node (same message). If you are not a registered winlink user you will not have an address using your call sign @winlink. So register your call through the program. Run the updates for winlink, dont remember what it was but I had an update when I opened the program.
Still working on 6 meter antenna ??? So I can try 6. 
10 meters may be ok.
I can not connect to K3CAL-7 OR K3CAL-10 from my QTH. 145.070
Can not connect direct to KB3FWW-10 GATEWAY. 145.070
BUT K3CAL-1 is strong and connects easily to many gateways on 145.750
Right now I am monitoring KB3POX-10  on 145.750 through K3CAL-1 @ 145.750; auto 
15 minutes will check in periods to see if any mail, none yet since message sent @around 14:53. May not get any.....who uses winlink down here anyway? LOL!!! Or should I say LMFAO?
Havent tried Zello yet?
My comcast internet is very slow here past month, paying for blast and cant even streem a movie without 2 buffers! Hurry up 5G.....found a way to get legal 5g for free internet at home, but the service has to be in place. And the speed has to be 100mbs minimum for users. Anyone interested I will send the utube video to do this.
Think comcast is hoping its customers never learn this.

Subject: MDC Section Members - A clear-line of communication ? COVID-19

MDC Section Members,
It is unfortunate and frustrating but reassuring to know our MDC Section ARCs, ARES?, VECs, Event Coordinators and members are making informed and rational decisions to protect fellow Hams and our communities by avoiding possible COVID-19 contact.
Consequence management is what is going on in your community and how are they reacting. You know your community and you manage your group effectively so let us work together to achieve clear perception of current changes and then project a successful outcome.
Have clear-lines of communication and identifying the methods and frequency (not kHz/MHz) you plan to use to communicate with your members, State & County & Community Partners and public facing correspondence (e.g. Social Media and Websites). Consider using Telecom or Ham radio or a ?knock-on-the-door? to reach participates not using digital information.
As we share situational information, then apply consequence management, we will have a full picture of our readiness; additionally, to better support our served agencies and community leaders.
Call your local EmComm partners to identify any unmet needs.  Please review your Action and Continuity Plans for connection with Emergency Support Function #13 ? Public Safety.  Suggest that your team brief-up on NIMS and the National Planning Frameworks.  More information is found on the FEMA website.
During these fluid situations be mindful of disinformation, Phishing, Scams and attempts to gain access to your Personally Identifiable Information [PII] or Social Media accounts.  Do not discuss your medical info or personal-info on-the-air.
Continue to show community support by halting Hamfests, Radio Training and VE Testing - find alternate methods to meet your expectations.  Our sincere thanks for canceling your events already.
Until the all-clear returns to the MDC Section ? Staff will not attend Ham related activities.

Message-ID: <1725653804.66424.1584313604436@connect.xfinity.com>

All,

The old Motorola MSR-2000 is up and running at my QTH hooked to a Diamond vertical on my tower at about 75 ft.  I turned down the power to 50 watts while I monitor the final amplifier for any issues.

Give the repeater a try at your convenience.  Perhaps the coverage will be adequate for the Monday night net.

This is a temporary arrangement.

Message-ID: <106245493.500435.1584391420927@connect.xfinity.com>

Well folks, I thought we might have a temporary solution for our 2M repeater but the MSR-2000 is down again.  

While adjusting the transmit frequency which was off a little bit (required transmitting into a dummy load for a couple of minutes at a time) the final amplifier became intermittent, the output power abruptly bouncing between 50 watts and milliwatts, and then it quit entirely.   This was with the amp output already cut down to half of its rated power.  Must be some kind of thermal problem in the final or a bad component/circuit board trace.  Letting it sit for a while brings it back but very briefly. 

So back to the garage with some cooler spray.

For the CARA net this evening recommend trying our 444.950 repeater (+5 MHz, PL 156.7)

Tomorrow I'll see if I can get the DR-1X system running here from my QTH but it will only be at 20 watts.

I know, I know ...it's like a bouncing ball.

Today Dave, W3PQS, and myself put the Yaesu DR-1X back in service at Mt Hope in Sunderland.   146.985  -  PL 156.7     It's running 70 watts out to the commercial grade antenna on the tower.   Thanks to Chuck, AA3CS, for checking and adjusting the duplexer while the repeater was out of service.

The 444.950 repeater remains in service at Mt Hope hooked to a separate dual band antenna which is being shared with the 2M packet digipeater on 145.750.    The 2M and 440 repeaters are NOT linked at this time.

The Motorola MSR-2000 is still at my QTH for troubleshooting.  The final amplifier has some sort of thermal problem, cutting out after several minutes of frequent transmit operation, even at reduced power.

If there's enough, I'd like to try 6M on the W3PQS repeater after the 10M net.  The W3PQS repeater is 52.170 input, 53.170 output, PL 100.0 Hz.  The RX site for this split-site repeater is at my QTH and uses a 6M ground plane at about 65 ft height.  So your 6M antenna would ideally be a vertical, not horizontal.

Subject: [CALV-AUXCOMM] Beware Phishing Emails
Message-ID: <1445868244.24984.1584731323245@connect.xfinity.com>

All,

Lately I have been receiving phishing emails that at first look like they are coming from someone you know.  When opened, the actual email address after the familiar name is anything but the person you know.   Of course, there's always a link they want you to click on.

---DON'T CLICK ---

Delete the email.

I think some of this is coming from the "Contact" and "Request Service" pages on our AUXCOMM web site.  So I deleted both of these pages from the top bar.

An example of one such email (it's just a screen shot so safe) is attached.

I am also getting the phishing email from Bill Hackett  over the past week , I got two and believe it or not from two different phishing addresses, and different than your address Shawn.
I also have been getting these messages fro Steve Hempling for about a year and a half.
Frequency is down not to random, but were about 2 per week Tuesdays and Fridays.

Dont know if the is because of the original actual user gmail account contacts list that has been hacked? Or maybe they just sold it? Best to never keep a contacts list in a free account service google, yahoo, maybe now microsoft?

Anyway they go to my call sign address. 

Sent from my iPad,
Best Regards, 
Jim Tetlow

Shawn, ?Do you have anything that you want to post on FaceBook page?? I'm not repeating all of the COVID19 information since there is a glut of it already on FB.? But is there any announcement you want to make to our small but dedicated group of followers?
I was talking with Peter Holt today about Zello and trying to get a local group set up.? We're experiencing start up pains getting it to accept new members.? The current Zello channel is named CARA K3CAL? My invitations don't seem to have gone anywhere so feel free to look for the channel and join if you wish.? It might be useful when the repeater is not working.

Dave,
Really a teaching moment.  Thank you for the article, I am a believer.  I have to get a 6 meter antenna working, last time I tried my Titan it gave me an infinite SWR.   So, I have to figure that out.

Message-ID: <1657505814.139887.1585242044489@connect.xfinity.com>

Calvert AUXCOMM Members

Calvert County now has 7 confirmed cases.   See  https://coronavirus.maryland.gov/    I would expect this number to rise if it follows similar curves seen in other affected areas.

The 146.985 repeater is up and running so please use it if you're getting bored with the TV. 

In fact, I'd like to propose a little contest.  Beginning on Friday, March 26 at 0900 and running through the weekend until 10:00PM Sunday, see how many stations you can work on the 146.985 MHz repeater, the 444.950 MHz repeater, the 53.170 MHz repeater (input on 52.170  PL 100) and USB on 28.350 MHz.

Each unique station contacted on each band counts as a point.  Send your summary to me after the contest.   The winner gets one roll of scarce toilet paper.

Stay safe  Stay at home if at all possible.

Wow, a "big brother" program for 24-7. Why would you think you could make an anonymous report from a program you are registered in. Windows 10, apple OS, not sure about Android, but Google, AOL and Yahoo have been collecting your data for years, with your permission, but no choice to turn it off now. Now you put a program on your phone that can track you? And put your information and use in a database?  When did we get here? I will stick to the old County Alert system.

I used Zoom last night as a participant in a family video birthday party.? There were folks on from CT, CA, VT, Thailand and us in MD.? It worked really well.? Everyone could see everyone else. There is a place to hit a button to raise your hand if you want the floor but otherwise all just kinda took turns talking to each other.? It was a group of about 7 or 8 families on the Zoom meeting.? I hope others might check this out for possible future meetings.
And I'm not too enthused about the sheriffs app. Not putting it on my phone at this time.

All,

I came across an article looking at the potential future paths of the pandemic.   I'm sure time will show some of these predictions to be flawed, but I found the article to be balanced, thought provoking and worth sharing.

Stay safe.

Thank you, Shawn for passing this along.  I have some masks I can donate.  Some friends down here are sewing masks.
