This country lags FAR behind the world in Broadband speeds, and companies are charging us WAY too much for higher speeds. I think the FCC is trying to change that. Time will tell. The Federal Communications Commission has just voted to change the definition of "broadband", raising the minimum download speed from 4Mbps to 25Mbps and the minimum upload speed from 1Mbps to 3Mbps. "We are never satisfied with the status quo. We want better. We continue to push the limit, and that is notable when it comes to technology," FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn said. "As consumers adopt and demand more from their platforms and devices, the need for broadband will increase, requiring robust networks to be in place in order to keep up. What is crystal clear to me is that the broadband speeds of yesteryear are woefully inadequate today and beyond." As you would assume, internet service providers have vehemently opposed the new rules, as it limits the numbers of services they can pass off as "broadband" to customers. The National Cable & Telecommunications Association claims that internet customers neither need or want to pay for such speeds, and that establishing a new benchmark for what constitutes broadband is both "arbitrary and capricious", considering the fact that the new rule is simply a definition change. In other words, the FCC is not forcing ISPs to offer certain speeds. What it is doing, however, is making sure companies can't call super slow connections "broadband". This reclassification will have some impact beyond marketing, though. In rural areas, where higher Internet speeds are lacking according to the FCC, projects are underway to bring better connectivity to more people. To qualify for federal subsidies, those projects typically need to encompass broadband Internet, so bringing a 10Mbps download to outlier areas won't cut it any longer. This also affects smaller DSL providers, who often have older physical cables that can't deliver on this faster broadband classification. Larger entities, like AT&T and Verizon, are also offering DSL connections. The National Communications and Telecommunications Association isn't as happy as you might be about this. In a statement, they say the FCC has "arbitrarily chosen a definition of broadband", and failed to accurately assess the needs of consumers. FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler gave a different take. "When 80 percent of Americans can access 25-3, that's a standard. We have a problem that 20 percent can't. We have a responsibility to that 20 percent" he said. Again, this doesn't force your Internet provider to offer more, it just ups the ante for broadband. If you can look to broadband as the 'minimum wage' of the modern Internet, they we all just got a raise, so to speak.

Posted by: "Scott & Kimberly Davis" SNKDavis at aol.com snkdavis Date: Sun Feb 8, 2015 5:23 am ((PST)) Hi Gang, In case you aren't aware, there is new technology in place to track down stations causing deliberate QRM and use legal means to stop this behavior. It's first major test is the K1N DXPedition. If you've been monitoring K1N on 15M CW on 21.005 this morning, you know there is plenty. If a station transmitting deliberate QRM is strong at your location, please take a moment to complete this form here: http://www.dqrmreport.com/ Let's end this nonsense! More details, from the web page above, are below: The DQRM Tracking Project Recently, the amount and intensity of DQRM (Deliberate QRM) has been growing logarithmically, targeting DXpeditions all over the world. DQRMers attempt to spoil communications and disrupt the joy of chasing DX -- both for those who need to contact the entity, and for the teams who, at considerable expense, activate stations to share contacts with fellow hams worldwide. Without going into the motivation of DQRMers, the DX Community is taking steps to eliminate this practice. The KP1-5 Project, which is producing the 2015 K1N Navassa DXpedition, has been working with tele-communications agencies around the world. The objective is to identify stations who are acting as DQRMers and use legal means to stop this behavior. The technogy is in hand to solve this problem and, with your assistance, we can stop this blight that is hurting hams worldwide. How it Works Locating the stations engaging in DQRM is a matter of triangulation. When the DQRMer is 60db over S9 at your location, you can be pretty sure that station is nearby. If you fill out the form below, our software will collect and analyze the data to produce a reasonably accurate map of the DQRMer's location. This data will allow a close-in search in the DQRMer's area and, using local transmitter hunting devices, the offender will be identified. This is a real-time system that's been in development for several years; its first major test will be the 2015 K1N Navassa DXpedition. What You Do Fill out the form below with as much information as you can provide. All information will remain confidential.

Re: Deliberate QRM Tracking and Abatement Project On Line! Posted by: "Scott & Kimberly Davis" SNKDavis at aol.com snkdavis Date: Sun Feb 8, 2015 6:03 am ((PST)) Hi Gang, I should also add, please spread the word and share this new Deliberate QRM Tracking and Abatement project with your friends, club members and any other means you can think of. The more folks that are aware of this resource, the more likely someone living in proximity to a deliberate QRMr will submit a report that leads to a successful abatement! 73, Scott N3FJP http://www.n3fjp.com Serving the Amateur Radio community with contesting and general logging software since 1997. 1 Peter 3 vs 15: Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.

Hi Gang, In case you aren't aware, there is new technology in place to track down stations causing deliberate QRM and use legal means to stop this behavior. It's first major test is the K1N DXPedition. If you've been monitoring K1N on 15M CW on 21.005 this morning, you know there is plenty. If a station transmitting deliberate QRM is strong at your location, please take a moment to complete this form here: http://www.dqrmreport.com/ Let's end this nonsense! More details, from the web page above, are below: The DQRM Tracking Project Recently, the amount and intensity of DQRM (Deliberate QRM) has been growing logarithmically, targeting DXpeditions all over the world. DQRMers attempt to spoil communications and disrupt the joy of chasing DX - - both for those who need to contact the entity, and for the teams who, at considerable expense, activate stations to share contacts with fellow hams worldwide. Without going into the motivation of DQRMers, the DX Community is taking steps to eliminate this practice. The KP1-5 Project, which is producing the 2015 K1N Navassa DXpedition, has been working with tele-communications agencies around the world. The objective is to identify stations who are acting as DQRMers and use legal means to stop this behavior. The technogy is in hand to solve this problem and, with your assistance, we can stop this blight that is hurting hams worldwide. How it Works Locating the stations engaging in DQRM is a matter of triangulation. When the DQRMer is 60db over S9 at your location, you can be pretty sure that station is nearby. If you fill out the form below, our software will collect and analyze the data to produce a reasonably accurate map of the DQRMer's location. This data will allow a close-in search in the DQRMer's area and, using local transmitter hunting devices, the offender will be identified. This is a real-time system that's been in development for several years; its first major test will be the 2015 K1N Navassa DXpedition. What You Do Fill out the form below with as much information as you can provide. All information will remain confidential. The form will go into a database and our DQRM Project software will do the rest. We can stop DQRM -- and you can help! Note: Below you'll need to provide your Grid Square; if you don't know it, click HERE to get it; and you'll be able to copy and paste it. Our thanks to David K2DSL for this service.

You can use AC Log now to upload your log to Club Log by simply first exporting in ADIF. You'll find more details on the Club Log site here: http://clublog.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/55716-upload-via-the-website I would consider adding direct upload to Club Log from AC Log, if only I can think of a way to keep folks from writing me e-mail questions to support it after I did! :) 73, Scott N3FJP http://www.n3fjp.com Serving the Amateur Radio community with contesting and general logging software since 1997. 1 Peter 3 vs 15: Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.

New user Posted by: "Mike Fanning" mfanning at hiwaay.net Date: Sun Feb 8, 2015 7:18 am ((PST)) Hi all, I'm setting up ACLog for the first time and would like to import my old DXBase logs. My DXBase log features contacts from three different call signs. Do I have to import three different ADIF files (one for each call) and therefore have three different log databases in ACLog, or can I put all three calls in a single database? Do I need to go in and change the "operator" fields in my log to make sure the QSOs are mapped to my old calls correctly? I would much rather keep everything in one database instead of three.

Re: New user Posted by: "Scott & Kimberly Davis" SNKDavis at aol.com snkdavis Date: Sun Feb 8, 2015 7:59 am ((PST)) Hi Mike, Thanks for your e-mail. There is no requirement in AC Log that necessitates a separate log for each call sign. You can import all the files into one master log if you like. That said, I suspect it would be much easier to keep your log organized with LoTW, etc if you keep them separate. I only have one call here, so I don't have any direct experience to draw on, but others will likely chime in and share their recommendations. 73, Scott N3FJP http://www.n3fjp.com Serving the Amateur Radio community with contesting and general logging software since 1997. 1 Peter 3 vs 15: Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.
