Now, you can see more about our plans to activate the #2 DXCC "most wanted" entity. You will also meet the operating TEAM. You will recognize most, if not all the call signs as these operators have given out millions of DXpedition QSOs over the years. We plan to be QRV on Bouvet on all available bands using the common modes with the very best antennas, radios, and amplifiers. The duration of our visit to "the most remote island on Earth" may be as long as three weeks, weather permitting of course. As with our many previous DXpeditions, we expect to make tens of thousands of QSOs. That is our #1 goal, consistent with the safety of the operating team. Now that the website is up, we are officially beginning our fund-raising program. As with our other DXpeditions, the operating team is committed to provide one half (50%) of the DXpedition costs. We are asking DX foundations, DX clubs, individual DXers and equipment vendors to provide the remainder. We believe this arrangement is fair and equitable. As always, you have the option of using PayPal, a credit card or a personal/club check.

RM-11708 essentially eliminates the bandwidth restrictions currently imposed by the FCC for the digital sub bands and likely render it impossible to effectively use CW, RTTY, PSK, ?. Here is what I am asking that you do: 1)review my e-mail and other information you may find and make up your own mind. 2)If you agree with me, the please submit a filing with the FCC against the current form of RM-11708. The steps to submit a filing are: a.Go to http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/ b.Select "Submit a Filing (Express)" from the list in the upper left corner of the screen. c.In the topmost paragraph of the next screen in the box for Proceeding(s), click "click here to manually enter your docket number". d.Enter RM-11708 as the "Proceeding Number". Enter your name, address, and type your comments in the bottom field. e.Click "Continue";, and then click the "Confirm" button on the summary page it will display. f.If everything goes properly, it will give you a submission confirmation number. Here is the text of the filing that I made with the FCC ? Please note that I have reviewed and copied Ted?s, N9NB filing: August 16, 2016 To the Federal Communications Commission: *Re: Comments for Notice of Proposed Rulemaking RM-11708 in WT Docket No. 16-239* The notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) proposes to remove the baud rate and bandwidth of data signals in the HF bands, and seeks comments about if a bandwidth limit is required, as well as any economic consequences or benefits of its ruling (see Paragraphs 7, 8, footnote 28, footnote 37, Paragraph 10, and Paragraph 12). The FCC should recognize the important ramifications of this ruling, as it will impact the ability of the hundreds of thousands of narrowband operators to continue to enjoy the hobby if unlimited baud rate, unlimited bandwidth signals are allowed to operate in the same spectrum currently used by narrowband amateur operators. An unlimited bandwidth signal with unlimited baud rate will essentially allow wide walls of digital signals with arbitrarily large bandwidth to ride roughshod over narrowband signals. The FCC?s NPRM was silent on the issue of interference, and should provide some governmental regulation to avoid the potentially disastrous situation where a regulatory framework would legally allow interference by unlimited bandwidth signal. In its 1988 rulemaking, PR Docket 88-139, the FCC made a critical decision to separate transmission types so as /to relegate the transmission of certain inharmonious emission types to different segments of amateur service/ (see NPRM at 2, footnote 8). Now, in 2016, the FCC should consider that a proposed unlimited baud rate and unlimited bandwidth signal is indeed a different and/inharmonious/ type of emission than existing narrow band data transmissions used by hundreds of thousands of amateur operators. In the 28 years since rules were made for computer and data communication, we now live in a world with internet, wideband modems, and computer communications that are thousands of times faster than current regulations ever considered. Yet, the HF spectrum available to amateur operators has remained extremely limited in bandwidth. Thus, while I support the removal of a baud rate limit and a bandwidth limit, /this must only be done/ if narrowband transmissions are given protected HF spectrum in the lower edge of the HF bands, where none of the newly proposed signals would operate or leak into. The proposed wideband data emissions, such as Pactor 4 and other serial tone modems, are inharmonious to narrow band transmissions that are used by the overwhelming majority of amateur operators in the RTTY/data portion of the HF bands. A great deal of evidence for this was offered in the comments to RM-11708, see particularly the vast majority of public comments filed after March 17, 2014. The overwhelming majority of users in the RTTY/Data bands (e.g. the lower 100 kHz of every HF band -- except for 60 meters) utilize narrowband transmissions such as CW, RTTY, PSK31, and JT65. These narrowband transmissions do not occupy more than ~200 Hz of RF bandwidth, and certainly never more than 500 Hz of bandwidth (where bandwidth may be defined and measured as being 50 dB down from peak continuous wave power, or some other suitable definition). These types of narrow band operations enjoy national and global popularity because of their narrow bandwidths, since such narrow band signals enable better signal to noise ratio and thus greater communication reliability for a given set of equipment. Narrow band signals are completely incompatible with simultaneous operation of wideband signals, and are rendered useless when interfered with by wide band signals. As noted in Footnote 37 by Leslie and others, and in Paragraph 9, the FCC has never allowed 2.8 kHz SSB signals in the RTTY /data segment of HF, because wideband SSB signals are much wider and drown out narrowband signals, rendering the narrowband signals useless. As it does with SSB/Voice/Image signals, the Commission should similarly protect narrowband RTTY and data signals from the newly proposed wide band data signals that would not be limited in bandwidth or baud rate. Without a rule that expressly protects the narrowband users in sub bands at the low end of the HF bands, there will be chaos and interference created to current CW, RTTY, and other narrowband operators, not just in the US, but globally due to the long distance nature of HF propagation. The evidence in the RM-11708 record (see, for example comments filed by Gerdes, White, Morrison, Muns, the undersigned, and hundreds of others) shows the vitality of narrow band CW and RTTY modes even in the no-code licensing era, and documents how wideband interference levels caused by the NPRM would render CW and RTTY unusable in the case of interfering wideband stations. Further, hundreds of commenters provided strong evidence of the already existing large amounts of interference that was experienced by amateurs attributed to existing automated wider-band data stations or HF mailboxes that are grandfathered in and allowed to use wider bandwidths while failing to listen-before-transmitting. The Commission should also recognize that there was a large amount of seemingly automated ?ballot stuffing? in the early days of the RM 11708 FCC posting (presumably by an organized group or groups wishing to gain access to the protected CW/Data HF sub bands, see an analysis of comments provided by the undersigned). This body of evidence that pertains to interference, and the need for FCC regulation to protect narrow band operations, is part of the public record of RM-11708, and should be relied upon in the FCC deliberations for this NPRM. As noted above, the NPRM was completely silent on the interference problem, just as was the ARRL?s original petition (the word ?interference? or the consideration of interference by the proposed elimination of baud rate and bandwidth was never addressed by the FCC in its NPRM, but it must be considered, since the amateur radio service is limited in spectrum and relies on regulation to ensure inharmonious transmission types do not interfere with one another). Without interference protection, the wideband unlimited data emissions being proposed will overwhelm and eliminate the ability of current narrow band operators to enjoy the Amateur Radio Service. In light of the interference issues, the FCC should reconsider its tentative assumption in Paragraph 10 that no bandwidth limitation is needed. In response to the Commission?s request for comment on an appropriate bandwidth limit in Paragraph 12 of the NPRM, I would urge the commission to require all data /RTTY signals to have an emitted RF bandwidth (50 dB down from peak, or 50 dB down from a CW tone in the center of the emitted pass band, or some other definition) no greater than 500 Hz in the lowest 100 kHz of every applicable HF band (e.g. 1800-1900 kHz, 3500-3600 kHz, 7000-7100 kHz, 14000-14100 kHz, 21000-21100 kHz, and 28000-28100 kHz, as well as the WARC bands). This would ensure harmonious narrow band signaling (having no more than 500 Hz RF bandwidth) in a protected lowest portion of the HF bands, and would eliminate the inevitable wideband interference on a global scale that would result without such a protected narrow band sub band. By restricting bandwidths and ensuring wide band emissions do not drown out narrowband emissions in the lower edge of the HF bands, the new types of experimental data signals may thrive, while not hampering the vast majority of RTTY/data users who use narrowband transmissions. Regarding the Commission?s request for economic impact in Paragraph 8, I am certain that if promulgated, the NPRM in its current state will have a significant detrimental economic impact on hundreds of thousands of amateur operators in the US who currently operate CW and RTTY. The cost of allowing the proposed ?wideband? or ?unlimited baud rate? signals to operate throughout the existing lower portions of the HF bands, without a protected sub bands, would be enormous. Today, hundreds of thousands of amateur operators enjoy narrowband CW or RTTY (for example, the Straight Key Century Club is a group of tens of thousands of amateur radio morse code enthusiasts: http://www.skccgroup.com/). CW Ops is another amateur radio club that fosters morse code operation with membership numbers in the thousands if not tens of thousands http://www.cwops.org/ . All of the amateur operators who are members of these clubs, and in similar PSK and RTTY clubs, have invested in morse code equipment, electronic keyers, computer loggers, and narrow band filers in their equipment, and most enjoy the use of modest antennas that allow them to use the scarce HF spectrum for narrowband operation in the hobby for reliable communication. As was noted by hundreds of commenters in the RM-11708 proceeding (NPRM, footnote 1, particularly all comments filed after March 16, 2014), CW is the most reliable, least expensive mode of communication in an emergency. Thus, CW and RTTY, and other narrowband modes, must be guaranteed a portion of the HF spectrum where they are protected from wideband data modes. Many commenters specifically noted that the population of Pactor 4 and WinLink operators is, in proportion, /thousands of times smaller in number/ than today?s narrow band operator population. To give up all the existing narrow band protection (which today is inherent in the 300 baud rate limit) would be a grave economic injustice and bring vast interference to amateurs who have invested in equipment for narrow band data and RTTY. The commission should note that the US is the 2^nd largest amateur population with Japan being the largest. In Japan, narrowband modes on HF are specifically protected in their governmental amateur rules ? the operation of 200 Hz wide bandwidth CW and data is specifically protected at the lower portion of the HF bands (generally the lowest 20-50 kHz of the HF band), and an emission bandwidth limit of 500 Hz is generally required up to 100 kHz from the lowest HF band edge. IARU Region 1 has comparable recommendations to protect narrow band signaling from wider bandwidth signals. This is presumably why the FCC and Japanese regulators have never allowed SSB (2.8 kHz bandwidth) transmissions to operate where these narrow band CW (data) and RTTY signals are allowed to operate. In enacting this NPRM, the FCC must protect the narrowband operations by assuring the lowest 100 kHz of every HF band will not be permitted to emit more than 500 Hz bandwidth signals, and that the newly proposed wideband digital data signals, having unlimited bandwidth and baud rate, will not leak or emit into the narrowband sub band that must be created. Thank you for considering these comments, and considering the impact of interference and existing investments made by the amateur radio community for use in the precious and small HF allocations ? please revise the NPRM accordingly to protect narrowband CW/data and RTTY in the lower sub bands.

As a life member of ARRL, I seek your help, and that of your ARRL board colleagues, to help solve a problem that RM 11708 will bring to the HF bands. The narrowband CW/ RTTY operators need a regulation by bandwidth from the FCC to ensure that they may continue to enjoy our great hobby. Like is already done in Japan and in all 3 ITU recommendations, I urge your support and leadership to have the ARRL be our voice to meet with the FCC, with the goal of obtaining 200 HZ emission limits in the lowest 50 kHz of every HF band, and 500 HZ emission limits in the HF segment from 50 to 100 kHz above the lowest band edge. Without swift action and advocacy for CW and RTTY, and other narrowband operations, RM 11708 promises to unleash some very difficult interference that will allow anyone to use arbitrary bandwidth modes. Such an approach would protect narrowband modes while still meeting the ARRL's desire to support more digital wide band traffic. Here is the confirmation # for my filing with the FCC: 20160817837204658 Thanks for your service, consideration, and your support. Hams across the country are counting on your advocacy to protect the narrowband operators of our hobby. 73, Art, K0ACP Friends, thank you for your consideration of my request. 73, Art Peters, K0ACP k0acp at k0acp.com From radiojoe_k8om at msn.com Wed Aug 17 19:49:07 2016 From: radiojoe_k8om at msn.com (JOE) Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2016 23:49:07 +0000 Subject: [EIDXA] Bouvet Island (3Y0Z) financial support Message-ID: Hello fellow EIDXA members, As you probably know, our good friend and EIDXA supporter, Ralph Fedor - K0IR, has pulled together a fabulous team of experienced DXpeditioners and secured transportation and other required documentation in order to put Bouvet Island on the air in 2018. Hopefully, the propagations gods will cooperate! Their website is live and you can read all about the DXpedition and see the team members at http://www.bouvetdx.org Bouvet Island is currently #2 on the most wanted list and this upcoming DXpedition will be a first class operation. In addition to K0IR, two other operators are EIDXA supporters / member. Craig Thompson - K9CT and our Glenn Johnson - W0GJ will be part of the team going to Bouvet Island. So far this year, EIDXA has provided limited financial support for a few smaller DXpeditions but holding back our support dollars from both the Tom Hise fund and the club funds waiting on "The Big One". We need to decide the level of funding we want to provide the Bouvet Island DXpedition prior to October 1 in order to use the remainder of our FY2016 funds. Our by-laws allow us to spend up to $1,000 per FY from the Tom Hise fund with matching funds from the general EIDXA funds. We have used $425 from the Tom Hise fund in FY2016 so we have $575 from that fund to use before October 1. I would like to propose three levels of financial support and get members feedback on which level we should provide the Bouvet Island DXpedition from our FY2016 funds. Please provide me with your recommendation no later than September 1 so we can easily meet our October 1 FY2016 closing date. Also, remember this has no impact on what we can donate from our FY2017 funds after October 1 to other DXpeditions. Proposal #1: $500 from the Tom Hise fund with $500 match from the EIDXA general funds for a total of $1,000 donation Proposal #2: $500 from the Tom Hise fund with $250 match from the EIDXA general funds for a total of $750 donation Proposal #3: $250 from the Tom Hise fund with $250 match from the EIDXA general funds for a total of $500 donation Thanks and 73, Joe - K8OM radiojo_k8om at msn.com From k0cf at mchsi.com Wed Aug 17 20:33:38 2016 From: k0cf at mchsi.com (K0CF) Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2016 19:33:38 -0500 Subject: [EIDXA] Bouvet Island (3Y0Z) financial support In-Reply-To: aAaGbGWEGSSDNaAaIbYWSX References: aAaGbGWEGSSDNaAaIbYWSX Message-ID: <005601d1f8e8$29d71e40$7d855ac0$@mchsi.com> Being number 2 on the most wanted list, I vote for option 1: $1000 donation.

Hopefully, the propagations gods will cooperate! Their website is live and you can read all about the DXpedition and see the team members at http://www.bouvetdx.org Bouvet Island is currently #2 on the most wanted list and this upcoming DXpedition will be a first class operation. In addition to K0IR, two other operators are EIDXA supporters / member. Craig Thompson - K9CT and our Glenn Johnson - W0GJ will be part of the team going to Bouvet Island. So far this year, EIDXA has provided limited financial support for a few smaller DXpeditions but holding back our support dollars from both the Tom Hise fund and the club funds waiting on "The Big One". We need to decide the level of funding we want to provide the Bouvet Island DXpedition prior to October 1 in order to use the remainder of our FY2016 funds. Our by-laws allow us to spend up to $1,000 per FY from the Tom Hise fund with matching funds from the general EIDXA funds. We have used $425 from the Tom Hise fund in FY2016 so we have $575 from that fund to use before October 1.

[https://r1.res.office365.com/owa/prem/images/dc-pdf_20.png] EMCS Workshop Ham Radio Notice 9-22-16 (1).pdf Fellow EIDXA Members, The IEEE Cedar Rapids Section will be hosting a workshop on September 22, 2016 on "Lightning: Designing to Minimize its Effects". It is an all-day workshop with an emphasis on practical design approaches for your ham shack and house (grounding and use of protectors), as well as design considerations for station electrical layout. There is a special price of only $25 for amateur radio operators and will include 3 excellent key speakers from NASA, Rockwell Collins and IEEE! Attached is the flyer for this workshop with all of the details. If the attachment gets stripped from this email (which it sometimes does), it can be viewed at: https://meetings.vtools.ieee.org/m/38299 WORKSHOP: Lightning - Designing to Minimize Its Effects : vTools Events meetings.vtools.ieee.org TODO!

This is the same room we had for our July club meeting. After our normal business meeting, Dale Svetanoff - WA9ENA will be presenting on "Lightning Protection and Station Grounding for Amateur Radio" As Dale puts it, "Increasing our defense against Thor and Zeus". Dale is a retired Rockwell Collins EMC engineer and now working as an independent consultant in RFI and EMC issues and is active in the Cedar Rapids Section of the IEEE and the IEEE EMC Society. Dale is the former Chair of IEEE Std 299 working group, and active in support roles in other IEEE standards. In Dale's consulting work, he specializes in Electromagnetic Compatibility ("EMC") issues, with emphasis on systems and equipment that have radio frequency interference ("RFI") problems, simple or complex grounding and/or shielding schemes, and system design for safety, lightning protection, and improved performance. He was granted 3 patents (2 as sole inventor, 1 as co-inventor) and given technical presentations to IEEE EMC-S, NIST, US Army, and multiple amateur radio groups. He was also appointed as Jones County ARES Emergency Coordinator, has been a licensed amateur radio operator since 1962. He lives on 5 acres in a house built in 2000 and equipped with house and tower grounding configurations based upon MIL-HDBK-419A designs. He has 3 towers, the tallest of which is 77 feet (100 feet with mast and up-top antenna) that has taken two (2) direct lightning strikes with ZERO damage to in-house electronics or appliances (but watch out for NSL effects). Hope to see all of our club members at the October club meeting. Please consider bring a non-member ham guest to the club meeting to enjoy Dale's very informative and quite entertaining presentation.

After all they are pretty cheap and if the venue has a long term contract with the Dayton Hamvention the could justify that. Fancy tents like we see the European use all the time would be acceptable too I thi8nk. The real big issue is going to be flea market and they do not have a lot of concrete or Black top to put this on. They have plenty of land (similar acreage as Hara) but not the blacktop...So maybe they will convert some of that grassy area to gravel or something that will work. Flea market on grass will be a mess..

Plan on re-configuring ports after you upgrade. 3) Most ham programs that have recent updates will work fine and many older programs can be made to work if reinstalled. 4) Most Win10 upgrades do allow you to rollback to the previous OS if win10 does not work. Or make a disk image before you do the upgrade. 5) save your valuable data somewhere else, just in case.
