I have a Majestic Model 60 radio for sale.

It worked last time I fired it up but that was 15 years ago. I don't have room to keep this any longer and the YL says its gotta go!!

Radio is 40" H x 22" W x 15" D and heavy !

No reasonable offer refused.

email me and arrange a time to pick up. Fridays and Saturdays are best for me but M-T evenings may be possible depending on the time.

Thanks and 73,

Bob D.

Well, read this: for all of us that were told Gene Bond was dead. He?s NOT?..

 

This comes from a GCARC club member.

 


Ray,
I was having lunch yesterday with a friend that runs the CARES net at Christiana Hospital. 

Guess who checked in a few weeks ago...Gene Bond !

He apparently lives in Elkton, Maryland now.

He is hooked up with a lady that has some mental issues. He apparently can't live in NJ anymore after a cat hoarding incident in Salem County with this lady. The judge asked them to leave or face some jail time.

Regarding Gene Bond:

I know he went downhill fast after the passing of his wife Janice, but I 
guess some credit has to go to him for his various activities in the 
amateur radio community.  After-all, he was an active member of GCARC 
(program director, I think) for quite awhile, plus he was ARRL section 
manager (I think that was his title).  Not to mention he was a member of 
the ARRL A-1 Operators Club.

Sorry, but I just wanted to inject some good things about him amongst 
all this negativity.  This is how I will remember him; not what has 
happened in recent times.

I have about a yard of fill dirt left over from an order. I would like to donate it to the club for the area where the pole was removed. 

I would need someone with a work pickup to come get it. I would help load it and then unload it at the club. 

I would prefer ASAP like this weekend, as I need to get it out of my driveway and then order topsoil to go over where I used the other fill dirt.

I did not want to bother Ray Martin with this, because he is dealing with a death in the family.

Hello all,
Does anyone have a receiver you would be willing to part with? (for a price)
I have an old friend in need who lives down the road from me. He runs a
home brew 40cw transmitter and is looking for a receiver
to replace the one he was using. He is looking for a Drake 2B/2BQ,R4A,B,C
or a Kenwood R-820, etc.
He doesn't have an email account so please reply to me if you have anything
he can use.

Best 73 de,
N3RG - Ray

This message is primarily for our club officers, but is copied to all club
members as a general announcement to inform.  Only club officer action
required.

The next general membership meeting of the Gloucester County Amateur Radio
Club is at 7:30pm on Wed July 2, which is the Wed following the Field Day
weekend of June 28-29.
There is no change to this meeting time or date.

The GCARC board of directors regularly meet ahead of the next general
membership meeting, normally on the third Wed of the month before the next
meeting . For the July meeting, this would be June 18. However, due to
schedule conflicts, this month's board of directors will be meeting one
week later, on June 25.  Club officers, please take note of this change.

Thank you,
Jim Wright

Here's a series of emails from the FRC (Frankford Radio Club) email reflector. 
A question was put out for info on ways to ground a 3rd floor station. I think you'll find the replies interesting and perhaps helpful. 

Ron, NR2B, any comments?

I can't tell you what your situation requires for lightning suppression, but here's what I did for mine. I spent a good deal of effort, time, and $bux setting up a lightning ground system that is tied together and to the electric service ground. Starting at the service ground (where the electric system enters the house, often buried). #4 solid copper from service ground around the entire house was the most difficult part. 8 ft ground rtods are spaced at 16 ft intervals all along the length of that "peripheral" ground. Each tower leg has #4 running out 32 ft from the base, with 3 ground rods spaced 16 ft apart, and that tower ground is tied to the peripheral ground at the house via #4 .. again with 8 ft rods every 16 ft. Also, there's #4 running from the shack ground (1/2" copper pipe in back of the equipment desks) to which every thing in the shack is tied, including computers, radio gear, multiple UPS, power supplies, amplifier... everything that CAN be grounded IS grounded to the shack ground, which is tied to the outside ground system. Every coax line, rotator cable, the SteppIR control cable, and all other wires coming into the shack have a "lightning suppressor"(I use I.C.E. type) mounted on a large square of solid copper that is connected to the peripheral system and housed in a grounded metal box at the shack entrance point. All leadins from the tower are routed underground in PVC conduit. All connections to the ground system are clamped, and the clamps get checked for tightness once a year (it would have been better to cadweld them) As KQ2M says, dont solder anything in a lightning ground system. 

QTH is on a ridge 550 ft ASL. It's not possible to prove this system has provided lightning "protection" over the 8 years since I installed it, but so far, so good.... no strikes that I'm aware of. I'm no expert on lightning, which "has a mind of its own", but I feel I've covered the bases fairly well based on all the resource materials I could find at the time. That's all you can do, and your mileage may vary.

If it is a ground for lightning purposes, it should NOT be soldered, but rather, must be clamped. 
Solder and the connection(s) that go with it, will most likely be vaporized from the energy 
associated with a direct or indirect strike, hence the ground ?connection? would vanish 
at the time that you need it most. 
Even if it is meant as an electrical ground just for the shack, unless all antennas and coaxial, rotator, control 
and/or other types of cable connecting anything from the outside with the inside shack, are completely 
physically disconnected, your shack ground will become a spectacular conductor of lightning and then vaporize. 
AND, if anything in the shack is attached to any electrical outlet, you will now have coupled the lightning into the 
house as well and ?removed? the outside ground some the solder has been vaporized. This 
is the WORST possible situation as the lightning can now affect the house circuitry and it has no place to go 
except out through the service box ground, which, depending on the state and its electrical code, can be the most 
pitiful and inadequate ground that I have ever seen. (At least it is in Connecticut). 
My towers have been hit by lightning many times in the past 16 years. I have seen all types and kinds 
of ramifications from these strikes. I physically disconnect EVERYTHING inside the shack from the outside and from 
the electrical outlets inside and from each other before a T-storm and I do not solder anything to be used for a ground. 
To do anything differently only invites unnecessary trouble and danger and potential economic loss. 
Bottom line: Don?t solder. Use physically large and strong cable clamps ? even better, use Cadweld. 
Tony, N2TK is familiar with it ? perhaps 
he will share some details.

I usually just punch right through the outside wall with a bare copper wire and go straight into a ground rod in the ground right below the room. 
Just be careful not to run too long a ground, since it can start causing problems and act like an antenna itself. 
Rule of thumb, the shorter the ground, the better. 
I usually take a 6 foot piece of 1/2" copper pipe, solder or clamp a #6 wire to the middle and then solder or clamp individual #12 lines at equal distances, connecting all my equipment to the bus mounted underneath the desk with rubber grommeted pipe clamps to keep it off the desk bottom. It's the first thing I do in any new shack. It's quick and dirty and it works really well, plus you can hide it. 
A similar method is to get a 4-6 foot long piece of flat copper bar stock, 1/4" to 1/8" thick by 3/4" wide, then drill and tap a boatload of threaded holes nicely spaced all in a line down the middle so you can screw a clamp ring terminal in place with a wire. Mount it on L-brackets under the desk for easy access. It's more expensive, but clean and professional looking. You can add wires at your convenience. 
Forgive the crude artwork.

Nick, 
Check out W8JI's site ( www.w8ji.com ). Tom has an interesting approach to providing an RF ground to his second floor shack. I've adopted a similar approach to my second floor shack. Instead of running grounds under the existing carpeting, I was able to run about 25 feet of 8-inch wide aluminum flashing in attic storage area adjacent to my shack. I'm prepared to run more if needed. But so far that has worked for HF running a KW. 
Good Luck,

I have just relocated my shack to the 3rd floor of my QTH. There is no ground available for the equipment or antenna. The 3rd floor is about 25 feet above ground level. Does anyone know of any magazine articles, books, websites or have ideas about how to provide a ground, when the shack is not near a ground point? 
Tnx fer any help or ideas 73, Nick K3NL

I also still have a yard of dirt with no volunteers for anyone with a pickup. I have offered to help load and unload the dirt. Ray said it could be used near the empty pole area. We are talking 1-2 hours of total time. Come on, people.

This is in preparation for field day..

 

If you are available for today's work party, and you know what to do, get on
out there because I think Al Arrison is out there working on the skirting.
Plus the back door floor still has to be installed.

Subject: [GCARC] SITE UPDATE.... & SATURDAY WORK PARTY
Message-ID: <008f01cf8b2b$5fbd2680$1f377380$@net>

Today I went to the site, Frank Messick, Bill Price, Kevin Hall, and Nick
(who is one of Price's workers) came out to do some work. Here is what got
done....

The storm window in the HF room is now replaced. I took the measurements to
Ace Hardware and they cut the new glass and Kevin and Nick installed it. I
get a 10% discount from them also. 

Frank Messick put down the dirt at the bottom of the skirting yesterday, he
did a good job. 

Bill bought the 220 volt AC power cord for the stove and I reimbursed him,
Nick installed it and it was put in place, everything works fine. 

The guys installed the range hood  with light and fan over the stove. It
works fine. 

The main table was cleared, the sheetrock and paneling was moved out of the
way.

The grass was cut this morning, the site looks nice. 

 

Sometime last week Sheldon Parker K2MEN rebuilt the front door frame and
reinstalled the front door and fixed the siding around the door. Nice job !

 

A few days ago the electric wires were removed from the telephone poles so
as not to interfere with field day antennas. 

 

Chuck WA2TML informed me that the insurance adjuster was there yesterday and
there are two items that have to be addressed. 

I will take care of one item ( fire extinguishers ) and the other item will
be to adjust the back steps, the adjuster said that 

they wobble and have to be braced. I will put that on the punch list. Two by
fours are in the shed. 

 

So here's the punch list:

1.               Cory has to cut in the CAT 5 jacks. 

2.               We need a donation of a USB keyboard and USB mouse for the
cameras to be controlled.

3.               We need a donation of an air conditioner, 220 VAC at least
18,000 BTU for the main room.

4.               The back door floor has to be completed.

5.               The dirt that was delivered has to be spread out. The ruts
have to be filled in more and leveled. 

6.               Al Arrison has to determine how much skirting is needed to
finish the job, then I will call the supplier to come   and get the
remainder so the bill will be lower than needing to use all of the skirting.
This is a priority!!! 

          This will cut the cost of the skirting down from $ 950 to
somewhere around $ 650 dollars. Get'er Done !!!

7.               Dry wall and paneling has to be completed in the VHF room.

8.               We need screening for the windows, I will donate what I
have then see if we need more.  

9.               The air conditioner in the VHF room has to be installed.
Trim and hood for the unit has to be installed.

10.                        We need better internet service for viewing the
sites camera system.

11.                        The water line has to be shortened up from the
main valve to the bathroom. Get rid of the excess pipe so

              the cost of the heat tape and insulation around the piping
will be a minimum so 365 day usage.

12.                        Door trim & window treatments. I took
measurements and Phyllis W2PDB & myself will get them. 

13.                        Reinforce the rear steps. 

14.                        Continue installing the radio equipment.

15.                        Jim Mollica N2NRD has to remove the doors that
were left for him which are leaning up against the East end         of the
trailer. And Jim you're going to need 4 people to move them with a trailer.
Kevin and Nick tried to   move them but they were too heavy for them to
move. Those things weigh a ton. 

 

If anybody can donate (just for field day) a 120 VAC air conditioner to put
in the window opposite the cooking area, 

it would be appreciated. I know it's going to get hot in there. An 8,000 BTU
would help. But whatever we can borrow.

 

As you can see there is a lot to be done yet and I would like to have it
completed before Field Day, if possible. 

I took pictures out there today, I will send them to Jeff so he can put them
out to the website and send them to 

The members on a separate email so all can see them without going to the
website. 

DON'T FORGET SATURDAY WORK PARTY. You have the punch list and know what to
do. 

 

73's Ray W2RM.  Site replacement Chairman.

Cory, I can't hit the repeater all-the-time from my home station running 50
watts AND A 3.6 DB GAIN ANTENNA AT 40 FEET, whereas you live right around
the corner from it. OF COURSE IT WOULD BE FINE FOR YOU. DUH !!!!!!!!!

Well, 

No one showed up for the work party today and I couldn't make it as I had a
little accident last night and lost a toe nail.

Harry Bryant donated a 5,000 BTU air conditioner and Bill Price NJ2S put it
in the trailer. It will be put in "Wayne's World" aka kitchen area for field
day. Wayne being WA2LET from Westville. 

Still needed are: VOLUNTEERS to complete the project.  Al Arrison is doing a
nice job with the skirting but if it is to be completed before field day he
would like to have help. Call him and see when he will be out there so the
skirting can be completed and make the trailer look good.

FYI  

Dirt was put down by frank Messick W2FJM where the old center pole was & he
will continue filling in the ruts. 
Dirt was leveled off for us by Wally of the 4-H. 
The back steps were strengthen up by Chuck Lanard KD2EIB & he put the left
over paneling in the shed. 
Bob Durham W2RAD was leaving as I was arriving so I don't know what he did
and I forgot to ask. 
Al Arrison KB2AYU continues the skirting with dirt at bottom, and the front
of the trailer is complete. 
When I left Bill Price NJ2S was continuing with the checklist that I put out
earlier this week.

put a ground rod through a underground wire or pipe. The wires are 4 to 5
feet underground and so is the water main. Just a precaution.

> interference or from natural or manmade disasters. A very
> large part of the population depends on cellular as their
> main (or even only) telephone service.? In a disaster,
> especially a widespread one, the cellular network can be
> overloaded.? It is necessarily built to handle normal
> traffic plus a bit more, so as to balance the cost of
> infrastructure with a reasonable capacity.? A cellular
> network built to handle huge amounts of traffic would be
> expensive because most of its capacity would go unused
> during the course of normal communication demands.
> A cell phone without cellular
> service is like a useless brick.? A ham radio
> transceiver without a repeater system is still a fully
> functional communications device.? It can be switched
> to another repeater system or used as a simplex (single
> frequency) radio.? A cell phone whose signal is jammed
> is useless.? A ham radio transceiver can simply be
> tuned to a different frequency, since broad-spectrum jamming
> is exceedingly rare outside special military

> Practical RadioOne of the biggest dangers in ham radio

> consider:? Do you think you know what the dangers are
> in a particular line of work or with a recreational or hobby
> activity?? As a former policeman myself, I like to
> bring up the occupation of law enforcement.? Think a
> little while about what you know about police work.? A
> police officer carries a firearm.? Guns can cause death
> or injury when misused, so there's plenty of training
> involved.? Still, there is always some possibility of
> losing the weapon in an out of control situation or getting
> careless and complacent with it, leading to an
> accident.? Then there is the operation of the patrol
> car.? You might have an auto accident.? Bad people
> could attack you on a traffic stop, or you might get shot at
> while responding to a burglary.? You could get
> ambushed.? Lots of things can happen, so can you guess
> what big danger dogs police officers?Give up?? The answer might surprise
> you.? It's obesity and heart disease brought on by
> too much sitting!? Police work can indeed be deadly,
> but if you are a typical officer you are going to be doing
> quite a lot of sitting.? Sitting in a patrol car,
> sitting at a desk in front of a computer screen doing
> reports, sitting while waiting for something to happen,
> sitting, sitting, and more sitting.And sitting is bad for you. At
> least if you do it all day long. Do you do most of your ham radio
> operation while walking or running?? Me neither.?
> Like you and most other ham radio operators, I pull up a
> chair in the ham shack and park myself there for what can be
> hours of on the air activity.? Is it fun?? Yes!? Is it
> healthy?? Um... Not really if you just sit there
> drinking coffee and snacking while chatting on the
> radio.Let's face it:? Ham radio
> is like many other activities in that it is basically
> sedentary.? Look at how we all like to share pictures
> of our ham shacks.? There is the operating desk, the
> equipment, and the chair.? Whether the setup looks like
> the deck of the Starship enterprise or a piece of plywood on
> two sawhorses, it always includes a chair.? And
> that's where we park ourselves for far too many
> hours.? Sitting is probably more dangerous as a health
> hazard than many other risks in ham radio. Aside from taking ham radio with
> you on a walk by packing the HT with, there are really not
> that many ways to operate the radio without sitting at a
> desk or behind the wheel.? We know that too much
> sitting can be bad for your health, whether you are a police
> officer or an amateur radio operator.? Spend
> about 4-1/2 minutes listening to this audio piece on NPR if
> you don't believe me. ?There are some ways to
> lessen the danger from sitting.? Mini-breaks can really help.?
> I work in front of a computer all day long.? Instead of
> sitting for hours, I get up from the desk and walk around a
> couple of times an hour. If I need a bathroom break, I take
> a trip to a farther away option rather than the closest one,
> as long as it is within reason.? That way I can get the
> blood circulating.? If your legs feel numb or "go
> to sleep", you are sitting far too long and should
> schedule more breaks.? Every day I take just a couple
> of minutes to do some exercises away from the desk,
> too.? I don't have the answer,

Bill Price NJ2S said that I should call for an underground markout for field

It's done and the documentation is on the bulletin board in the site. You
will see the red markout flags, so don't put any ground rods in the path of
the red paint or red flags. 

Take note: Wally came through with the dirt that I asked him to get us and
he leveled it off also. Plus the high grass is gone and the ruts are pretty
much filled in. We still have dirt that is to go underneath the rest of the
skirting, then whatever is left can go in the remaining ruts... 

For your information all of the pictures that I have been sending out since
November 2013 will be put together in an album just like the last trailer

	Day!
Message-ID: <CADULXKUns7kQEzvwv9D56H6jabujztpJ9in-T4De+FKBq2K0rg@mail.gmail.com>

Dear members,
Field Day Weekend is here!
A full schedule of events is now posted on our web site w2mmd.org

As you know, all club members and guests are welcome to stop by at any time
during our club's operations.  But here's a few notes please to read before
visiting.

Safety First!
     - Visiting - Field Day involves temporary installation of antennas and
     power for portable operation. There are going to be trip hazards of
power
     cables, wires on the ground for antenna ground planes, and other
     hazards such as temporary antenna tie-down cables in the air, and
other
     hazards. Please be careful when you and your guests are walking about
the site!
     - Set-up and Operating - our Field Day Chairman will perform a basic
safety
     inspection of stations before they go on the air, but the primary
responsibility
     for each station's safety, both during set-up and during operations,
is with
     each station's band chairman.  Operators, please keep safety first!
     - Weather - this is an outdoor all weather event. Be aware of the sun
and
     heat, and stay hydrated. If you need an air conditioning break, please
take one.
     And it goes without saying, operations will be suspended for
lightning.

Food and Drink
    - The 'chow' volunteers will have "budget-limited" servings of food
available
    for those operating during field day.  After the operators, visiting
dignitaries,
    and guests have been served, if there is food left over, it will be
available to
    other visiting members. If you would like to bring any cakes or other
items that
    can be shared, the 'chow chairman' (Wayne) is encouraging you to do so.
    Just note that it is likely to be hot out, so "heat tolerant" items
that don't
    need refrigeration are preferred.
    - If we do run out, or you are looking for an off-hours snack (or
coffee pick-me-up),
    there's an air conditioned McDonalds just down the road towards Mullica
Hill.
     - And in case you were not already aware, Alcohol is strictly
prohibited on the
    4-H grounds, at our Clubhouse, and at our Field Day site, so please
don't
    bring any!

Clubhouse and Grand Opening Activities
    - The clubhouse will be open during all of field day.There's (limited)
bathroom
    facilities (it's a 'one seater'), but it will be available, if needed.
    - Parking will be tight with all the stations set up in the field, and
the Boy Scouts
   on site.  If you can park along the entrance road, and then walk up to
the trailer,
   that would be helpful.  There will be a greeting table near the W2MMD
sign at
   our club site entrance where you can drop off guests before finding a
parking
   spot if you like.
    - At 4pm on Saturday, we're planning to have a "radio direction
finding" class
   in the new clubhouse for the Boy Scouts, and any interested club members
   and visitors. That will be followed by an on-foot hidden transmitter
"bunny hunt"
   activity.  If you've wanted to try 'fox hunting', but haven't had the
chance yet, this
   might be a good introduction.  We'll have a few donated hand held 2M
HT's
   available, but if you already have one, please bring it along to this
activity.
   - Around 7pm, after dinner clean up, we'll have our 'official' grand
opening for
   the new clubhouse.  There'll be some brief speeches, some photo ops, and
that
   sort of thing. All club members are encouraged to stop by if you have
the chance.

Have Fun
   - Our band chairs, volunteers, and Field Day co-chairs, Mark and Kyle
have
  done an excellent job of getting us ready for this event.  If you have
any
  questions, our Field Day chairmen are your points of contacts. They are
  the "go-to" guys for this event.
  - With a dozen temporary transmitters all in close proximity,
of-the-grid,
  outdoors, all operating under less-than-ideal conditions, it's not easy
to be
  a radio operator during Field Day.  Let's face it. Field Day is not an
easy activity
  to participate in. But that is part of the challenge.  It's a continuous
learning
  experience. Visit with some of the veteran operators.  Ask lots of
questions.
  Check out the different station set-ups. Stop by the "Get On The Air
(GOTA)"
  station, and maybe try getting on the air for a  little bit.  Get a feel
for how
  different modes and bands change and operate throughout the day and night.
  - Your participation gives us "points", but this is really not  "a
contest".  It's
   much more than that.  It's part emergency preparation. It's part
education.
  It's part public relations.  And for our club, It's a tradition.
  A once-a-year reason to get out of the shack to socialize and work with
your
  fellow club members to participate in this, the biggest on-air event in
  North America each year.

- So, here we go!  Field Day weekend is here!

Have fun!
Hope to see you there!

There will be a yellow recycling can near the trailer.

It is for only, CLEAN, EMPTY, CANS OR BOTTLES!

Got that, CLEAN, EMPTY, CANS OR BOTTLES!

There will be cans for all other trash.

Police your area after teardown.

Don't leave any hardware that could be hit by a mower.

If you can, take your trash home with you.

Thanks, Al  KB2AYU

Make sure you bring insect repellant.
The mosquitoes will eat you alive, especially in the evening.
Some good sunblock would also be advisable.

 Course Description: IS-317: Introduction to Community Emergency Response
Teams Course Overview

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates individuals
about disaster preparedness and trains and organizes teams of volunteers
that can support their communities during disasters. The CERT Program
offers training in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety,
light search and rescue, and disaster medical operations. With proper CERT
training, you can help protect your family, neighbors, and co-workers if a
disaster occurs.

"Introduction to Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT)," IS-317, is an
independent study course that serves as an introduction to CERT for those
interested in completing the basic CERT training or as a refresher for
current team members. The course includes six modules: CERT Basics, Fire
Safety, Hazardous Material and Terrorist Incidents, Disaster Medical
Operations, and Search and Rescue, and Course Summary.

While IS-317 is useful as a primer or refresher for CERT training, it is
not equivalent to, and cannot be used in place of, the classroom delivery
of the CERT Basic Training. To become a CERT volunteer, one must complete
the classroom training offered by a local government agency such as the
emergency management agency, fire or police department. Contact your local
emergency manager to learn about the local education and training
opportunities available to you. Let this person know about your interest in
taking CERT training.
Course Objectives:

After completing this course, CERT Independent Study (IS)-317, you should
be able to:

   - Identify key concepts that form the foundation for CERT operations
   - Identify principles and guidelines for CERT activities

This lesson provides an overview of the CERT role in disaster preparedness
and response. It also covers what you will learn in other lessons about
CERT organization and activities.

If anyone is interested in an SDR transceiver, I saw one in operation on
Field Day. Pretty cool!

 

>From a club member here. Not mine.

 

My Flex 3000 SDR 100 watt 6-160m Transceiver is for sale.   It is in mint
condition and has been in a non-smoking environment.  It comes with a
firewire cable, the Flex CD, printed copy of the manual, and a Quick Start
Guide.  I have the original factory box for shipping.  I am asking $1300 in
the Aiken SC area.

All,

There are some Field Day pictures (thanks to Sheldon, K2MEN) on the website
on the Field Day 2014 page.

 

Also, I have changed the name of the "Club Programs and Events" page. The
new name is "Programs, Activities & Supported Events". I changed the page
name to reflect the various events that our members participate in. Not just
club sponsored events, but other activities such as: bike races, walks, etc.
Our members donate their time and sometimes money to support all kinds of
events all over South Jersey. Our website should and will highlight those
activities and those men and women who make this club a very active and
growing organization.

 

Thanks and see you on Wednesday
