ETS Members,


I just received word that Tony is now a silent key. Word came by way of 
a message N2VGS received from Tony's sister on Saturday.


As more information becomes available I will share with the group.

ETS Members,

I was very saddened when I received the email from Drew stating that had we lost another member of our ETS family - Tony, N2WRK (SK).  He was one of the nicest guys you could ever know.  For many years, even though he was not officially part of the committee, he always supplied us with the tables, coffee urns and other items we needed for our annual picnic.  Our prayers go out to his family.  RIP Tony.

73,
Victor, K2NBC
President ETS of NJ

Greetings,



Those who visited Vincent's house know that he was a hoarder of radios,
radio parts, Victrolas, etc. I have been approached by people who want to
purchase the entire contents of Vin's house. While this likely makes the
most financial and logical sense, I would rather invite all his radio club
friends to visit Vin's "Ye Olde Radio Shoppe" for a private sale.



My goal is to get these radios into the hands of those who will care for
them, who know their history, and who have a genuine passion for them.



Please be advised that since Vin did hoard these, they are mostly very
dusty and in no particular order throughout the house. My husband Hans and
I have been trying to get old furniture out of the house to better display
the radios, but there is only so much we can do!



The house is being sold; any "leftovers" will go in the dumpster.



Without further ado, the sale flyer is attached (2 pages).



Thank you for spreading the word and I'll see you in April,



Lisa

Members,

I spoke to Tony's niece Kiki tonight.


A Memorial Service will be held for Tony at:


The American Legion #336
449 Linden Ave
Burlington, NJ 08016


On April 14, 2018 at 2pm.


Condolences can be sent to his sister,?
Ann Petersen
8439 Balfour Rd.
Pennsauken, NJ 08011


His niece would like to know more about the Amateur Radio Clubs and ham 
friends in her uncle's life.?


I myself intend to go through my photos and locate those that I have of 
Tony and send them to the family.


As more information becomes available I will pass the information 
forward.

> suffixes for the finalists countries of the 2018 World Cup and the
> "FIFA" for all other countries. Russia itself will have 32 special
> callsigns with the R18 prefix and a suffix to honor participating
> countries. Examples, R18ARG to honor Argentina, R18SWE for Sweden,
> etc. Eleven callsigns will represent the cities where the matches are
> held, such as RC18KA for Kaliningrad, RC18SO for Sochi, etc. Two
> headquarters callsigns will be R18HQ and R18FWC. These special
> callsigns from Russia will be on the air June 14-15. With any
> questions and "coordination," contact ua6yw at mail.ru. It is also
> suggested that in the US some serious soccer fans may want to get 1X1
> callsigns to be part of this.

Subject: [ETS/PARC List] Why Six Meters??
Message-ID: <CAE+kjPcycYFBTqPKZ5OyaM+uAyRHc5ipTkvXPtLJ1njqpybL1A@mail.gmail.com>

I brought this up from the group files section for our new members. Enjoy.
So why 6 FM?

6 meters explained

Well for one thing, the 6m band is under utilized and it happens to be a
band that I love and would never want to loose. For another, there is an
abundance of used commercial equipment around at bargain prices, some even
free for the asking.

Also, for those that are more familiar with a 2m and 440 repeater systems,
you already know that 2 meters provides better coverage than 440. Well a 6
meter repeater, for same antenna height, gain and EIRP will yield better
coverage than a 2 meter repeater.
In addition, the lower frequency range of 6 meters will allow much deeper
coverage into fringe areas. This is of special interest when one is mobile.

As was mentioned above, using 6 meters is somewhat different that 2 meters.
First of all it is at approximately one third the frequency of 2 meters.
This means that the wavelength will be 3 times as long. Most importantly,
this means that a short rubber duck will work worse on 6 meters than a
similarly-sized rubber duck will work on 2 meters.
This also means that, from inside a car or vehicle, 6 meters won't work as
well as 2 meters (which, if you have been on the receiving end of someone
running mobile with an in-car antenna, you know doesn't work very well,
either!).
So basically we are talking outside antenna on the vehicle. Don't get me
wrong, a portable, a.k.a. HT on 6m is great, but you need a large 12 inch
or long rubber duckie, Which is not a good length in a vehicle. The upshot
of this is that 6 meters isn't really a handy-talkie/rubber duck sort of
band.

Where 6 meters really shines is its range.

So once you have gone through the trouble of putting up/using a half-decent
6 meter antenna (a quarter-wave ground plane, J-pole, Hy-Gain V-6R,
Dominator or other suitable antennas  you'll notice that 6 meters can carry
quite a bit farther than 2 meters can for the same power level and height
and gain antenna.

There are several reasons for this fact.
The most obvious reason is that there is a decrease in what is called
"apparent path loss" at the lower frequency of 6 meters, as compared with 2
meters. Given two stations - on a 6 meters and one on 2 meters - identical
stations in terms of receive sensitivity and transmit power and that they
are both using quarter-wave ground plane antennas, the 6 meter station will
have a signal that is nearly 10db (that's 10 times) stronger than the 2
meter station!
If you compare 6 meters to 70cm, the difference is approximately 20db
(that's 100 times!)

Another major reason for 6 meters carrying farther is that it propagates
differently.
In many cases it can seem to get over mountains better (using various
propagation modes such as knife-edge and diffraction.) Finally, it is much
less affected by absorption of foliage than 2 meters and especially as on
70cm.
These improvements come at a price, however as 6 meter antennas are quite a
bit larger than their 2 meter counterparts. Also, 6 meter operation is also
more likely to cause TVI (Television Interference) than either 2 meters or
70 cm (especially to channel 2.)
Since the DTV transition, many stations vacated the Lower Tv VHF spectrum
for UHF so in reality there will now be less interference from the 6 meter
band. However if you live in the Philadelphia area beware of a new digital
TV channel 2 which came to the area when Channel 3 moved to UHF. This
transmitter can trash your receiver if you are in close proximity.
6 meters is also more likely to be affected by power line noise than 2
meters on receive. As you should know, power line noise that is getting
into your receiver locally is not transmitted to the other end. This is
where a good commercial radio with a noise blanker would come in handy.

Another factor that you may (or may not) consider to be a disadvantage is
that 6 meters has band openings. When 6 meters is open, it is much like 10
meters in that low power can allow you to work all over.

Openings on 6 meters recently are less frequent that those on 10 meters and
there are fewer people on the band. You will be amazed at the distance some
stations may be from the repeater during the April-September Sporatic-E
seasons.

Yet another reason for choosing 6 meters was that since the band is under
used and has almost no LIDS on it and those that want to use such a system
will come to 6m.... just as they said in "Field of Dreams"..... build it
and they will come.

Subject:  Equipment for sale


Some of you may know already and probably most of you do not, but my wife
and I are in the process of moving to Delaware.


We have found a house in Millsboro and unfortunately the deed restrictions
do not allow for antennas.


They do allow flag poles so I may look into that.


But, I am working on selling most of my equipment. Here is a partial list.


Yaesu FT-1000D with all filters, manual and service manual    $1200 obo


Ameritron AL-811 600 watt amp - has never been used to transmit.  $650 obo


Alpha 87-A fully automatic full limit amp.  $1250 obo


Yaesu FT-736R - All mode VHF / UHF transceiver w/2mtr, 440, 220 and 6mtr.
all filter, keyer, tone board, voice   $1200 obo

Yaesu FT-912 1.2Ghz mobile with antenna. Never used   $275 obo

This is just a partial list, I will be listing more as I move along.

Fellow ETS club members,

Just a reminder that our monthly meeting is tomorrow night.  I am happy to inform you that Chris Fine is giving a talk about "Overview of Digital Amateur Radio."    He is planning to do a bit of historical review and then talk about the existing HF and VHF-up modes, and maybe a bit of future direction.  This will be an interactive discussion as Chris is very interested in hearing what people are doing.  As you know digital is gradually "taking over," and ultimately almost no matter what an operator is doing, some part of it will be digital.

To add to the presentation Kevin is bringing some demo equipment and will talk about what he is doing with the digital modes.  This should be a very interesting meeting for everyone regarding the future of our hobby and I look forward to seeing all of you tomorrow night.  Please feel free to bring along anyone who you feel would be interested in this presentation.

Just a reminder of tonight's monthly meeting and the presentation by Chris Fine.  I viewed a preview of the presentation and it is a very interesting topic that everyone should enjoy.  Also Kevin, KD2BXF is bringing some hardware he is actually using in his shack.  As you know in the past we have had interesting presentations from Len,  WB2HKK and Larry W2LJ.

As promised, here are the slides from Friday evening's club 
presentation, "Digital Amateur Radio: An Overview."

The attached PDF file has been compressed (lower-resolution pictures) to 
meet the limits of the mailing list.? Please feel free to contact me 
(crfine at aol.com) if you'd like the uncompressed version.? If there is a 
need, we can put it on a file-sharing site for members to download.

Thanks to all who attended, participated in the active dialog, and 
stayed in there later than usual so Kevin and I could get through the 
material.

Thoughts welcome on Digital Amateur Radio topics, as well, if anyone 
wants to share.? As we said on Friday evening, it's a big topic, but 
lots of interesting work going on.

73,

Chris - KC2PI

Hi - It looks as though the list stripped out the attachment, so we'll 
arrange to provide a link to the slides.

Below are DX supply Offers and news for MAY 2018.

DX Supplies 2018:  Sorry to say, but I do not plan to restock Euro envelopes once they sell out. Envelope sales for 2017 were half the envelope sales of 2016, and a dismal 20%  of what I sold in 2013. I know 2018's selling pace will be even slower. Below are listed new envelope ordering options designed to maximize sales based on what I have on hand.  QSL Albums and pages will not be restocked either, once supply is exhausted. At this point, it just doesn't make sense to re-stock items that take so long to sell...or not to sell.   DX Postage: Some countries will be deleted over time, when supply is exhausted.  US Discount postage offers will continue, as this is the only area of my business that shows growth. It's something.  Fountain Pens:   I'll continue my pen selling efforts to customers via email and in person at local flea/craft fairs and hamfests--- it's a day out to socialize...a good break. I have 11 events planned for this year---will certainly add 5+ new ones.

DX SUPPLY INVENTORY:
I will keep you informed of supply stock in future emails.
   ***STATESIDE ENVELOPES ARE SOLD OUT>
European AIR Mailers are almost gone!
QSL albums about 15 good ones and 4 slightly damaged ones remain..
European PLAIN Mailers are in greatest supply.

QSLing Methods have changed greatly since I started this business about 35 yrs ago!!

DISCOUNT POSTAGE!!:  The Forever stamps I have listed below in the grid are mostly full sheets. Single Forever stamps:  Offered CHEAP!!  None on hand now....but I'm sure to acquire more in the future...Stay tuned!

HAMFESTS & Flea Markets/Craft Shows:

May 5th: Ringoes Grange, Rt 179, Ringoes, NJ with pens and mech. pencil hoard.
July 15th: Sussex Hamfest, Augusta, NJ with pen/pencil hoard.

FOUNTAIN PEN & PENCIL PRICE LIST:  Request your UPDATED copy today.

NEW FOREIGN RATES:
   Isle of Man increased to 1,40 GB pound for 20g rate early April
   Guernsey increased to 85p for 20g rate in early April
   Jersey increased to 94p for 100g rate
   Finland increases on May 18th: Int letter 20g priority goes to 1,60...Int letter 20g eco goes to 1,50
Domestic 1st class aka 1 LK is 1,50 for 100g within Finland....BUT can be used for Int eco....That is what I currently am supplying.
PLUS!! a nice bonus, just noted on Finland Post website...Old 2nd CL. (2 LK stamp) will get bump up to the 1,50 value of 1st Cl rate!! That's a kind gesture to their customers...Finland no longer has a 2nd class domestic rate. They could have just demonetized the 2 LK stamps....glad they didn?t and glad I kept my supply!!  You'll be seeing them when you order Finland, soon.

***IF you notice rate increases, let me know.***


IN STOCK AGAIN:

STAMPS ON BACK ORDER:   Thailand

I want to thank Kenny for helping me take down the antenna from my roof.


He was very quick and made short work of the project.


If anyone is interested in an original Shakespeare Big Stick, let me know.
This is not the one that burns up at 100 watts.

Is there anyone that could help me remove an antenna from my house.


I can't climb up on the roof due to health conditions.


It's just one antenna, an older Shakespeare Big Stick. Yes, not the one that
burns up at 100 watts.


If you can help, please give me a call 201 407-9621

Thanks

Marty KB2JSG
