At the last club meeting there was discussion on setting up a Special Event Station Celebrating Motorola?s 90th Anniversary (September 25). The club in the past has operated a Special Event Station for Motorola?s 75th and 80th. http://www.qsl.net/k9mot/activities/75.html http://www.qsl.net/k9mot/activities/80.html We are proposing to operate and get others together during the 2018 Radio Expo at the Boone County Fairgrounds September 22nd. A station would be set up and operating Friday- Saturday. There is discussion on setting up an HF Station in the campground and a DMR station inside the fairground building. Post your comments / suggestions..looking for input from the club. I am also looking at how to capture the clubs memorable moments, events, photos..so gather your ideas as we count down. Would like to firm up plans by Sept 5 to allow this event to be communicated to a larger group as it is a bit late to get something into print. Maybe someone knows how to best advertise this Special Event.

Emerging Technology from the arXiv The basic design of the radio antenna hasn?t changed in a century. The antenna is usually a set of metal rods roughly half the size of the wavelength they are designed to receive. The electric field in a passing radio wave accelerates electrons inside these rods, converting energy from the wave into a tiny electrical current that can be amplified. But physicists would dearly love to make antennas more capable and more secure. It would be good, for example, if simple antennas could receive a wider range of wavelengths and be more resilient to electromagnetic interference. Enter David Anderson at Rydberg Technologies in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and a couple of colleagues, who have reinvented the antenna from scratch. Their new device works in an entirely different way from conventional antennas, using a laser to measure the way radio signals interact with certain types of atoms. The secret sauce in the new device is Rydberg atoms. These are cesium atoms in which the outer electrons are so excited that they orbit the nucleus at great distance. At these distances, the electrons? potential energy levels are extremely closely spaced, and this gives them special properties. Indeed, any small electric field can nudge them from one level to another. Radio waves consist of alternating electric fields that readily interact with any Rydberg atoms they come across. This makes them potential sensors. But how to detect this interaction? A gas made of Rydberg atoms has another property that turns out to be useful?it can be made transparent by a laser tuned to a specific frequency. This laser essentially saturates the gas?s ability to absorb light, allowing another laser beam to pass through it. However, the critical frequency at which this happens depends crucially on the properties of the Rydberg atoms in the gas. When these atoms interact with radio waves, the critical frequency changes in response. That?s the basis of the radio detection. Anderson and co create a gas of cesium atoms excited into Rydberg states. They then use a laser tuned to a specific frequency to make the gas transparent. Finally, they shine a second laser through the gas and measure how much light is absorbed, to see how the transparency varies with ambient radio waves. The signal from a simple light-sensitive photodiode then reveals the way the radio signals are frequency modulated or amplitude modulated. And that?s it: an antenna consisting of a cloud of excited cesium atoms, zapped by laser light that flickers in time to any ambient radio waves. They call it atomic radio. Anderson and co have put their device through its paces using microwaves and say it works well. ?We demonstrate an atom-based receiver for AM and FM microwave communication,? they say. Among its advantages over conventional antennas is the huge range of signals it can detect?over four octaves from the C band to the Q band, or wavelengths from 2.5 to 15 centimeters. The antenna itself is a small vapor cell that can create and hold cesium gas excited into Rydberg atoms. But perhaps most revolutionary is that the detection does not involve conventional radio circuitry. ?The atomic radio wave receiver operates by direct real-time optical detection of the atomic response to AM and FM baseband signals, precluding the need for traditional de-modulation and signal-conditioning electronics,? say Anderson and co. That means the device should be more or less insensitive to the kind of electromagnetic interference that can render conventional antennas useless. To test the device, the team have used it to receive AM and FM microwave signals of a recording of a human voice singing ?Mary Had a Little Lamb.? ?The demonstrated atomic radio exhibits good performance over the entire human audio band,? they say. The new antenna is not perfect. For example, its dynamic range is a little less than usually expected over radio. But the team is optimistic that it can be significantly improved. Atomic radios are on their way.

All you QRPers, the weather looks really promising for portable ops, and there is a separate class for QRP. All those with superstations, sure would be great to have at least one of you from each county. And all of you with normal stations (and there are a lot of you like me), let's fill the airwaves with NJ signals. Details and rules below. Attention NJ Amateur Radio Operators! The New Jersey QSO Party (NJQP) will take place this coming weekend on September 15 and 16, 2018. The Burlington County Radio Club (BCRC) is sponsoring the NJQP for the 7th year. They are asking for your help in getting the word out to all NJ hams and asking for their active participation. Please make this information available to all your members. Announce details at your meetings and ask for them to operate! If you have a newsletter please publish the info there. Announcements on any nets would be helpful as well. Attached is a brief word document announcing the NJQP. Hopefully all 21 counties will be active, but BCRC needs your help to encourage participation. Also keep in mind there is a club competition as well, with the high scoring club being awarded a gavel. Some details are given below, but full details can be found at http://www.k2td-bcrc.org/njqp/njqp_rules.html BCRC would appreciate any help - thanks! Date/Time ? September 15 & 16, 2018 ?
