Has anyone made contact with Phil (W3ICF), or have an email for him? I am not sure if he is on the reflector or not. I can try to raise him on his repeater in the evening on my drive home. I want to confirm that he is expecting me. I need to know what the pick up and drop off times are.

We are less than 2 weeks away from Field Day 2016. This year we are having our field day in the parking lot of the Walmart just off of Rt. 85 in Frederick, MD. The official Field Day operating hours this year are 2:00 PM on Saturday the 25th through 5:00 PM on Sunday the 26th. I know the thought going through some of your minds, why in the parking lot of a Walmart? Well, there are multiple parts to field day, there are some that chase the points and are very competitive about the points you get for making contacts. There are others that take the opportunity to train and educate people about Amateur Radio. We are in the parking lot of a Walmart because of the visibility to the public. I think we are also going to have some other eye catching and interesting things this year that can draw in some more people just because of curiosity. Yes, we will be trying to get points by making contacts and that is where we need your help. We are going to setup 2 radios for regular operations and also a GOTA (Get On The Air) station. For the 2 regular stations it is always best if you have 2 people per radio. One operating and one handling the logs. To operate a regular station you need to be a licensed Amateur Radio Operator but to help with the logs, there is no requirement. So if you think you can convince a friend or family member to come help with the log while you operate, that is great. It is also a great way to introduce someone to Amateur Radio. And now the GOTA station? The whole idea of a GOTA station is to let someone who is not licensed operate a radio and make contacts. This requires that a licensed control operator be present with the non licensed operator at all times. We need volunteers to help with the GOTA station but this is also a call to action for you to get your friends, neighbors and family to come operate for a while. The goal is to have each GOTA operator make at least 20 contacts. From a scoring perspective we get 20 points for every 20 contacts a GOTA operator makes up to 100 points per operator. To help organize the schedule a little better, if you know of a timeframe you can commit to, go to https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1gFxkf69G3qtzbwhFdmEQVWEv3lTXbGmACb1p6sryHAA/viewform and fill out the form for as many time frames as you can help with. Just to be clear, you do not have to be registered on this form to operate, we are just trying to see what holes we can fill. We are in need of some help late Saturday night and in the overnight hours. Calling all night owls?.. If you do not know when you will be available for sure, no problem, please come out Saturday or Sunday when you can. Everyone is welcome at any time, you can come just hang out and socialize (we will probably try to get you on the air at some point :) ). The most important part of field day is to have fun. This year the ARRL is pushing hard on the social media marketing and even giving points for advertising on social media about Field Day. FARC does have a Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/902554613191219/ . Be sure to join (and maybe even like). We will be posting some field day stuff out there, if you could re-post it to your Facebook timeline to get the word out, that would help out the club greatly.

[FARC] New repeater Message-ID: The FARC 70cm has been upgraded with the installation of a Yaesu Fusion repeater. Thanks to Mike Myers K3DO for getting the repeater setup and installed. Key up and check out the new repeater. 73 Brian AB3RW Sent from my iPad From netnutmike at gmail.com Thu Jun 16 11:41:18 2016 From: netnutmike at gmail.com (Mike Myers) Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2016 11:41:18 -0400 Subject: [FARC] New repeater In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <6647CB84-9949-4107-9726-5E944079C7EC@gmail.com> Hi everyone, I have a few notes for everyone on the new repeater. The repeater is setup in auto / auto mode which means, if it receives a traditional FM signal it will repeat that same signal back out and if it receives a Fusion (C4FM) signal it repeat that back out as well. That means that you could hear on the FM side what sounds like noise but it is digital data. To avoid hearing the noise when it is digital if you setup a receive tone in your Tone Squelch settings the same as the transmit tone (100.0) you will only hear the FM repeater. The tone is not transmitted for digital, only analog. If you set the receive tone, I do not think you will get the CW ID that is transmitted every 10 minutes because that is sent without a tone. I have temporarily setup my Wires-X node to work with the repeater and it by default connects to the America Link room. But feel free to change rooms and experiment with the Wires-X.

Message-ID: <006401d1cca8$feb1eb20$fc15c160$@comcast.net> CALLING ALL HAMS! As you know, Frederick Amateur Radio Club is doing Field Day at the Walmart on Rt. 85, and we REALLY need more operators to sign up! We'll have two HF stations, digital, CW, and a GOTA station, and these radios don't make contacts by themselves. The fun starts at 1400 on Saturday, continues overnight and ends Sunday afternoon. If you can, please sign up with Mike Myers, netnutmike at gmail.com , for an hour or two, and we especially need sign-ups for the overnight shifts. And if you don't want to operate, you can help us with logging (there's nothing worse than contacting a "dupe"). Thanks to the success of this year's Fredfest, we'll be having a cookout starting at about 1700 on Saturday, with burgers, dogs, munchies and cold drinks for everyone. And don't forget, the Sonic next door has half price shakes after 8 PM! If you can't commit now, just give us a call on the FARC 146.640 repeater to tell us you're coming, or just stop by when you can. You don't have to be a member of FARC or any other ham group to participate, just someone who wants to have some fun and share in the fellowship our hobby has to offer. Hope to see you there. 73, Jeff Fishman KB3FIO From sean at fredcom.com Wed Jun 22 20:50:45 2016 From: sean at fredcom.com (Sean McAdam) Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2016 20:50:45 -0400 Subject: [FARC] Field Day In-Reply-To: References: <2C80745A-74EB-443E-A15F-7D29BFA5F068@aol.com> Message-ID: Should I bring the tower later in the day?

We have a GOTA station this year which means even if you are not licensed you can make contacts on the air. That also means you can bring your significant other and kids and have them make some contacts as well. Part of field day is tracking points for a friendly competition and for every 20 contacts we get 20 points with the GOTA station. Even if you do not want to operate come out, hang out, say hi. We have some other special things this year too. We will be in the parking lot at Walmart off of rt 85 in Frederick. Hope to see you there. Btw. We are still looking for more operators.

It is only made possible by those that are willing to pitch in. Before I go to far into the details, the Frederick News Post did an article on us: http://www.fredericknewspost.com/news/education/amateur-operators-showcase-uses-of-ham-radio/article_84830715-907a-5fe3-813f-6e62131200d2.html . The reporter called at about 6pm saying she was on her way and I told her we had already left so it was really a phone interview. She had never heard of CB radio or Ham Radio until she moved to fredrick. It was a little tricky providing details to her. But the article I think is a decent one. Field Day started out a little rough even in the setup stage. Our planned tower trailer puller injured himself and was unable to go pull the trailer (hope your feeling better). After some searching for someone to tow the trailer John Hart showed up to help setup and he had the ability to tow but no hitch, so we went to haul, got a hitch and the tower trailer was on it?s way. Thanks John for being willing to help us out in a pinch. We also had a snafu with the grill for the cookout but we worked through that and got a grill there, and the cookout was great. Like Amateur Radio operators we were innovative in getting through the problems. Our first success was the teamwork to get things setup and work through all of the issues that came up. Thanks to Jeff for schlepping all of the stuff from the storage area to the parking lot, he made multiple trips back and forth. We were setup just before 2 and some things started rolling at 2. Bands during the day were not good, in fact they were pretty terrible. By 7pm we had only just over 20 contacts. We also had a GOTA station setup this year and we had one person work the GOTA station. Thanks to my wife, who made her first contacts on Amateur Radio at the GOTA station, conditions were still pretty terrible but she managed to get a couple. Dave helped her out in the beginning to understand the process and got her comfortable. After our sections leaders left I helped her make the contacts. As nightfall started conditions got better, not great but better. Into the late night and overnight Ray (who brought out his awesome Duece) made some CW contacts as brian pounded out the voice contacts. By morning we were just over 100 contacts. As morning came, the horrible conditions came with it and contacts started to sound more like noise. I do not have the final count of contacts in front of me but I think it was over 150. Glenn Silver brought out his QRP rig and made many contacts on low power of 2.5 or 5 watts. Just goes to show you do not need much power to make contacts. Besides just the contacts that we made for the contest part, it was a great social event as well. There was just as much talking and hanging out as there was working contacts. I appreciate everyone that came out in whatever capacity. We did have quite a few people stop by to see what was going on. Some were Hams that hadn?t been active in a few years, we had a couple operate and make some contacts too. All in all this year I think was a great success and look forward to doing it again next year. We have some lessons learned from this one as well that we can take forward for next time. I have some pictures and I will send them to brian for the website and also post them in the pictures area on Meetup.com. If have not joined in meet up.com for the club you should, also we have a Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/902554613191219/ I will post the photos there as well. Thanks again everyone and hope to see you at the next meeting on the 18th of July.

Like Amateur Radio operators we were innovative in getting through the problems. Our first success was the teamwork to get things setup and work through all of the issues that came up. Thanks to Jeff for schlepping all of the stuff from the storage area to the parking lot, he made multiple trips back and forth. We were setup just before 2 and some things started rolling at 2. Bands during the day were not good, in fact they were pretty terrible. By 7pm we had only just over 20 contacts. We also had a GOTA station setup this year and we had one person work the GOTA station. Thanks to my wife, who made her first contacts on Amateur Radio at the GOTA station, conditions were still pretty terrible but she managed to get a couple. Dave helped her out in the beginning to understand the process and got her comfortable. After our sections leaders left I helped her make the contacts. As nightfall started conditions got better, not great but better. Into the late night and overnight Ray (who brought out his awesome Duece) made some CW contacts as brian pounded out the voice contacts. By morning we were just over 100 contacts. As morning came, the horrible conditions came with it and contacts started to sound more like noise. I do not have the final count of contacts in front of me but I think it was over 150. Glenn Silver brought out his QRP rig and made many contacts on low power of 2.5 or 5 watts. Just goes to show you do not need much power to make contacts. Besides just the contacts that we made for the contest part, it was a great social event as well. There was just as much talking and hanging out as there was working contacts. I appreciate everyone that came out in whatever capacity. We did have quite a few people stop by to see what was going on. Some were Hams that hadn?t been active in a few years, we had a couple operate and make some contacts too. All in all this year I think was a great success and look forward to doing it again next year. We have some lessons learned from this one as well that we can take forward for next time. I have some pictures and I will send them to brian for the website and also post them in the pictures area on Meetup.com. If have not joined in meet up.com for the club you should, also we have a Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/902554613191219/ I will post the photos there as well. Thanks again everyone and hope to see you at the next meeting on the 18th of July.
