	Gary Kinney-kc2uls
Message-ID: <CAJiFpgmQNZEJGjCksMZR_9Uq26C6wKbNyujVXz5V-Stcy_RdQw@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Leadership and members,

I have a tower that is already firmly in the ground. I need a
specialist that knows how to complete the rigging of my tower with
stainless steel cable that has been left uncompleted since the pandemic one
year ago.

It is a 40 foot tower that can be lowered to 20 feetI by a manual crank. It
also lowers to an angle so my tennadyne t-6 antenna can be attached live in
Medford, NJ all of my materials are on site. I have my rotor cable, and the
coax cables already placed in an open 200 foot trench to the house. I also
need a person who can either solder a coax connector, or use a crimper to
do so. I have a complete crimper kit on site.

Yes the antenna will need to be assembled and attached. The rotor will need
its power wires attached to the control box in the house and calibrated to
the compass.

 I also have a 600 watt fully functional Ametron Linear for sale. It is
presently in our trailer in a plastic container.  I will be glad to sell it
for what I paid for it to the club or any other member.

I appreciate any response to either of these requests. When I joined our
club I did so for the comradery as well as the need for experienced
technical help.

Due to the virus I will provide funds for a lunch at a local take out for
all who come to help out my long standing, uncompleted project.

Thanks, Gary Kinney

GREETINGS? ALL:

Well another week gone by, and the 2021 Ride MS ? City to Shore is a 
week closer.

It is Sunday, and I decided instead of Begging and Pleading today, that 
I would go to church and------------PRAY----------PRAY A LOT.

Things are moving along, and as we deal with position problems, cleaning 
up our frequency useage, and getting all the paperwork, location, and 
politics together, my biggest fear is that WE ARE STILL LOOKING TO FILL 
40 TO 50 route assignments.

Please give us a hand with our recruitment and talk up the event, and 
forward this email to any and all HAMS you may know.? Put aside the 
25^th and 26^th of September, 2021 on your calander as our Public 
Service Event for the year

Here is the link to sign up on line: https://forms.gle/YzGMjT9aMojLA3Xt6 
<https://forms.gle/YzGMjT9aMojLA3Xt6>

Attached is the sign up form if you rather email or snail mail it to us.

Don?t forget, everyone receives these recruitment emails.? Please 
forward them to any and all HAMS you may know.? If you have already 
volunteered, you should have received a confirmation email.? If you have 
not received a confirmation, please contact us as soon as possible.

Thanks again for your help, and we look forward to working with all of 
you this year.

All,

I am sad to inform you of the recent passing of James Akehurst, W3ZKY.? For those of you who did not know Jim, he was the founder and primary Net Control Operator of the Retired Group Net? which met on 28.435 Mhz each day at 1300 hours.? Jim was a good friend and he will be surely missed by many.

73,

*LET THE? BEGGING AND? PLEADING? BEGIN*

**

Hello All:

We are now only 6 weeks away from one of the largest HAM involved 
events.? The 2021 RIDE MS ? CITY TO SHORE is once again in the need of 
our services, like we have been supporting for the past 35 years.

Our recruitment efforts have now stalled to only a few a week.? 
Currently, not only are we filling positions that have been entrusted 
for many years, but our check point positions are dangerously low.? We 
are still in the need to fill at least 35 positions.

If you have volunteered before ? WE NEED YOU AGAIN.

If you have heard about the event, but never came out ? WE NEED YOU TO TRY.

If you are a new HAM ? THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN.

The event this year is the 25^th and 26^th of September.? The National 
Multiple Sclerosis Society has entrusted the SAFETY and COMMUNICATIONS 
of this event to the Amateur Radio Community for years, and we have been 
the benchmark for many chapters involving HAMS across the country. We 
need to continue this legacy.

For those of you that have already volunteered, we THANK YOU, but you 
are still receiving these recruitment emails because we need your help 
in spreading the word.? We need all the exposure and assistance we can 
get to bring in the number of volunteers that we need to support the 
event fully, and *help to ensure the safety of all the riders and other 
volunteers to make the event successful to help the folks living with 
this horrible desease.*

**

If we can get at least 15 to 20 volunteers a week for the next 2 weeks, 
we can pull the event off. If that number is 25 or more, we fulfill our 
goal of 150 HAM volunteers. *Please dig deep*, and put aside the weekend 
of September 25^th as your commitment to PUBLIC SERVICE.? We are 
confident that we can depend on our brethren to make it happen right.

Please use this link to sign-up on line: 
https://forms.gle/YzGMjT9aMojLA3Xt6 <https://forms.gle/YzGMjT9aMojLA3Xt6>

If you prefer to use email or snail mail, please use the attached form 
to return to us.

It is always an honor to work with you folks each year, and your turn 
out shows our pride in our professionalism.

THANK YOU AGAIN,

With Much Appreciation

Comments:

This was the first contest since the addition of an Elecraft KPA1500 Solid State
Amplifier to the Gloucester County Amateur Radio Club (GCARC) W2MMD Remote HF
Station.  The amplifier worked perfectly.  I just wish that I had more time to
spend on the contest.  My score could have been higher if I had responded to the
numerous QTC? requests.  I need to get up to speed on the use of N1MM+ to
provide the responses.

The three day basic training that is scheduled for September is being held at the Camden County Office of Emergency Management in Mt. Ephraim

I?m assuming the one in November is the same.  If I hear different, I?ll let you know.

Hi Petra

I just have a couple of follow up questions regarding the cert training in November.

I wanted to confirm the dates, times, location and if there is any cost for the training.

Message-ID: <CAPF99JxEhU5MKKeVWJykxsEMdrNXUF-aQZm3vVNz7p-F-4u3+A@mail.gmail.com>

Hello Folks...

First off, please allow me to introduce myself.  My name is Chris Prioli
and I am a brand new ham located in Pitman.  You may have seen my name
listed as the newest member of GCARC and listed as an Amateur Extra.
Please don't let that fool you.  I am completely new to this -- I just took
all three exams in one night, passing all three.  Needless to say, I have a
lot to learn, which brings me to the point of this e-mail.

I am looking for equipment suggestions, specifically as related (right now)
to transceivers.  Let me tell you what I've got going on.  I have a pair of
kits on order -- one is a 75 meter rig and the other is a dual-band set. As
packaged, it is a 160 meter & 80 meter set. However, it can easily be
re-configured to operate on any two bands, choosing from 160 meters, 80
meters, 40 meters, 30 meters, 20 meters, and 17 meters. My question right
now involves this set -- specifically, which two bands would be my best
option in this area?   I also have a (started) ?Bitx HF all-band kit
coming, sent to me gratis by a ham friend in Missouri.  All of these sets
are QRP -- 10W or so max, but with a linear, that won't bother me much.

As to antennas, I was given a new 2 meter Yagi from Arrow Antennas, which I
plan to put up on a mast of about 30 feet.  That should work well with my
current HT, a Baofeng BF-F8HP 8W unit.  Sitting outdoors, I can hit the
Pitman repeater with no problem.  I have not yet tried it from indoors. I
might do that Tuesday for the noontime net.

I welcome any and all advice or suggestions.  Thanks much for your time...

*Greetings to All of the HAM Community*

We are now 5 weeks away from the *2021 Ride MS ? City to Shore*, and I 
am once again *PLEADING* for volunteers. Last week I let you folks know 
that we were still very low on volunteers, and all we received were 
enough sign ups to cover 10 check points.

For those of you receiving this email that already signed up, we *THANK 
YOU* deeply, but you are still getting this in the hope that it will 
remind you to talk up the event, and forward it to all the HAMS you 
know, with a note to please volunteer.

*We are still in the need to fill 30 more check point positions.*

Yes, 30 check points, plus other operational positions to cover this 
event fully.

I ask that you folks dig deep to put 5 ? 6 hours a day, for 2 days, on 
the 25^th and 26^th of September, aside to assist in */one of the 
largest HAM Public Service Events/* in the country.? A chance to use 
your *SKILLS and EXPERTISE* to help keep the thousands of riders and 
regular volunteers safe and informed. An opportunity to fulfill our 
Public Service Commitment.

We have unfortunately lost some long time volunteers of the event recently.

SILENT KEYS:

Ed Clark / W2KP ? Kathy Stafford / AB2LF ? Art Arnold / N2CPR ? to name 
a few of the over 20 year volunteers.? If for no other reason, let?s get 
out there and support this event for them, and all the loyal volunteers 
of years gone by.

You can sign up on line at: https://forms.gle/YzGMjT9aMojLA3Xt6 
<https://forms.gle/YzGMjT9aMojLA3Xt6>

 ?We still have rooms available in OceanCityfor Saturday night for 2 day 
volunteers not living in the area, so sign up early to reserve a room.

We look forward to working WITH as many of you as possible this year.

With Much Appreciation

Hi Chris AD2CS,
	Jim N2GXJ will provide a great introduction to GCARC.
	Let me weigh in on the 2 band question.  This advice is free (and may be worth just as much as it costs!)  Anyway, I would advise 40 meters as the best QRP band, but be aware that it tends to be a night time band, which is fine if you plan to be on in the evenings.  After that, I would select 20 meters as the second band, good for those daytime QSOs during the weekend.  I assume you will be working phone, rather than CW, which is a bit tough, but doable.  80 meters and 160 meters tend to have higher noise levels, not so good for QRP.
	Future choice of equipment will be dictated by your interests, so why not wait a while to see what tickles your fancy?  If you focus on VHF contests, there will be no point in purchasing a very expensive HF rig.  On the other hand, you might want to chase DX, in which case you will want a better HF rig.  But here is a truism:  put your money first into good, efficient antennas rather than expensive radios.  Full size, resonant dipoles at least 1/2 wavelength above ground would be a good start.  Good antennas on a basic radio will outperform crappy antennas on an excellent radio.
	Also, a fun part of the hobby is getting out in the world and going portable at, for example, Field Day, Public Service events and Fox Hunts (i.e. hidden transmitter hunts).  Jim is sure to tell you about the Fox Hunts that he organizes.

Hi, I bought an Ameritron RCS-4 4 port antenna switch with control box from
Ham Radio Outlet, and it turns out I don't need the antenna switch after
all. Too late to return! It's entirely new in the sealed box, located at my
QTH in Haddon Township, NJ. Asking what I paid, $190, cash or paypal
friends, pickup at FM29lw.

Thanks all!

Hi Chris,

Welcome to amateur radio and to GCARC. Glad to see you are interested in HF
operation, and there is plenty of help available to you within the club
that will have you off and running in no time.  Our club website, which is
one of the best that you will find anywhere, has a resource called The
Elmer's Shack, that is filled with great articles for you to read and
digest. Also, we have an Elmer's list ( an Elmer is a mentor in ham radio
parlance )  in our newsletter each month which lists volunteers that are
available for you to consult with if you have an issue.  I am one of those
listed, and my specialty is antenna construction.

As far as which bands to start out on, I would avoid 160 at first because
antenna challenges make being successful on 160 a chore, even for the
experienced.  And 80 meters is not a good place for a beginner to learn
good operating habits, as you will eventually find out.  I always recommend
starting out on 40 meters and / or 20 meters, because it is relatively easy
to get results on those two bands without becoming frustrated.  A dual band
dipole, for 40 and 20 is easy to build, and only requires one tall support,
which can be a tree or a telescopic pole of some sort.  It can be fed by a
single coax cable and is very efficient. No antenna tuner will be needed,
as the antenna will easily cover the entire band if you cut it for the
center.  I can give you more details if you need them.

Again, welcome and glad to have you aboard.  73!

Tony Starr K3TS
President GCARC

Chris,

You and others may find the YouTube video "Which ham radio to buy? Watch this before you buy your first radio." by N2RJ Ria Jairam to be of value.  Ria is the Director of the ARRL Hudson Valley Division and is VERY knowledgeable.

Hi.

Over the last 2 Sundays, I have not been able to hear the Ares/Races net at 8pm. This is a new problem and nothing in my radio has changed. My antenna is in the attic and has not changed in 15 years. The symptoms sound like a whole lot of white noise like a kid AM walkie talkie from the 1970s.

I notified Karl and Jim who were the net ops. I just got on the repeater with Jim, and he totally distorted and unreadable. So we trouble shot. I copy several repeaters fine, like Newtown, the 145.390, the KC3DUX, and the 440 N3KZ. All are normal.

I decided to try an HT with my tape measure beam, and that worked. I put the HT on the base antenna, and I get the same noisy reception, as I get on the base unit.

I have ruled out my radio(s) and antenna.

I live in southern Gloucester County in Woolwich, and I can throw a baseball to the Salem County line.

It appears that it may be a weak signal issue, which points to a power problem

Is there any way this can be investigated?

The repeater is full-quieting and full scale on the S-meter here on my
in-shack stubby mag mount antenna. In fact, it is readable at about an S1
with my Alpha-Delta antenna switch set to the center (grounded) position.
We should be able to check the power out, but there may be an issue with an
unintentional lobe in the antenna's radiation pattern due to some other
hardware being moved  around up there.  You never know with all the crap
that is up there.

I would start with any new RF interference. Any electronics acting up?
Neighbors get a new non compliant TV? New cheap wifi router?

Time to take a walk with the AM radio when the interference starts.

Hi Vinnie, 
A couple of questions?.     And some suggestions.  
1.  You say that you ? Just got on the repeater with Jim, and he was totally distorted and unreadable ?. How was your signal into the repeater?  Strong? Weak?  Could he read you?
2.  Have you checked the SWR?  Have you checked the feed line?  Disconnect the antenna and connect a dummy load at the antenna end of the feed line.  SWR at the rig end should be 1.0 : 1.0.  
The high heat we?ve been having might have caused a problem with your antenna.  It gets very hot in the attic and the temperature cycling could cause an open internal connection in the antenna. With a coaxial antenna, an internal element could be disconnected and the SWR will still look fine.  The pattern and gain will be completely changed, but the SWR will look good.  
3.  How are you receiving the repeater on the HT with a rubber duck?    Has that changed?  
The fact that you can hear and get into the repeater with the HT and the small tape measure beam makes me think that the repeater is working OK.

Try to get some signal reports from other users in the fringe areas of the county and see if they?re also having issues hearing the repeater where they once could.

My QTH in Swedesboro is near Vinnie N4NYY and I am NOT having trouble with W2MMD/R.
In fact, I was NCS for the ARES/RACES Net last Sunday and had no problem from my base station running 50 watts to an outside vertical at 20 ft.
>From what Vinny N4NYY wrote below (HT works with tape measure beam but not base antenna), I agree with Chuck WA2TML that the coax/antenna combination of the base antenna is suspect.
15 years is a long time to go without trouble.

We need help from repeater committee. Here's why.
Steve and I fine, full quieting while Vinnie saying having trouble hearing
us until he increased rx gain at his end by using directional antenna. Of
couse we suspected something at Vinnie's end first, but then I looked at rx
power received at my base radio while Vinnie, Steve were talking over
repeater. Recall the rx signal strength I am measuring is purely a function
of the reaper and repeater antenna system.
What I usually see is +20 db over s9.  What I saw during this test
surprised me. The signal I was receiving was 10 db down from normal. That's
alot. On every tx from the repeater no matter who using it.
Didn't affect me using the repeater, as I'm close, but does offer a clue as
to why Vinnie, on the fringe, needed the extra gain from a directional
antenna to successfully have 2way comms with us on 147.180

We should check it out before the hamfest.  If we are having a problem in a
particular direction it would be nice to know about,  even if we can't do
anything about it right away.

Jim, Good catch.  Since you are seeing a 10db drop in the signal from the repeater , I totally agree that someone from the repeater committee needs to check it out.   Most likely, the transmitter power output is down.  Antenna or feed line problems would effect receiver performance as well.

Hi Herb,

I?ve been running a WIRES-X link radio on the 70cm repeater for several months. When using the repeater while driving all over the area, the pattern seems pretty good, just the normal variations for terrain, vegetation, etc.

73,

John K2ZA

*A? DESPERATE PLEA? TO? ALL HAM COMMUNICATORS*

**

*WOW? -? We had a REAL BAD week.*

This past week, we only had enough new volunteers to cover 3 route 
assignments, BUT we had one pull out, which of course leaves us with 
only a net 2 route assignments.

I very much like to think of our community as a very proud one, but I 
will put all pride aside to *BEG and PLEAD* for your help with the *2021 
Ride MS ? City to Shore*. As we have put out to you folks many times, 
this is one of, if not, the largest HAM involved Community Service 
special event in the country.? In order to support this event in the 
complete manner that it needs, we need a minimum of 150 HAM volunteers.

*THIS MEANS THAT WE ARE STILL SHORT 34 HAM VOLUNTEERS.*

*34* ? This doesn?t seem like a big number, but until we hit it, and 
hopefully as quickly as possible, we are falling short in an endeavor to 
support the thousands of riders and other volunteers in ensuring a safe 
and informative event that is a major force in helping the *Too Many 
Local Folks living with Multiple Sclerosis. *

We ask again ? PLEASE DIG DEEP ? to put aside the 25^th and 26^th of 
September, 2021 to come out and prove that our community is PROUD and 
professional enough to put communication companies to shame.? A lot of 
eyes are on us during this event, our peers, our reporting publications, 
and other supporting factions that see us as an example of what can be 
done when you CARE.? A few hours a day so show *SO MUCH*.

Please sign up on line at : https://forms.gle/YzGMjT9aMojLA3Xt6 
<https://forms.gle/YzGMjT9aMojLA3Xt6>

Or email back the attached sign up form as soon as possible.

Thank you again, and we look forward to working WITH as many of you as 
possible


With Much Appreciation

At this point, it is looking highly likely that we will be getting heavy
rains and windy conditions with flash flooding possible on Wednesday. I
have been urged by some of my most trusted advisors within the club to
seriously consider holding the September 1st General Membership meeting
entirely via Zoom, and I am prepared to make that commitment now.  At this
time, the in-person meeting in Williamstown is hereby cancelled, and a live
Zoom meeting for all will be held instead.  Follow the instructions below
to log in by computer, or with a mobile device.  You may also connect by
telephone by calling one of the Zoom phone numbers listed (press *6 to mute
your audio). The meeting will start at 7:30 PM  local time, and will
consist of our regular order of business, followed by a discussion on the
final stages of planning for the September 12th hamfest.  Please make every
effort to join us on Zoom, and I hope to see everyone at the hamfest. 73

All--  The Zoom meeting credentials below are for the regularly scheduled
simulcast of the in-person meeting at the Pfeiffer Center in Williamstown.
In the event that we have to call off that meeting due to severe weather,
the meeting will be held entirely on Zoom, so save this email even if you
are planning to attend in person.  If we must call off the meeting, I will
put out another email on the reflector.  Stay tuned.....

To all radio amateurs 

SB SPCL ARL ARLX011 FEMA Announces HF Interoperability Activity on 60-Meter
Channels 1 and 2

Channels 1 and 2 on 60 meters will be available starting on August 30 for
interoperability between US government and US amateur radio stations
involved in Hurricane Ida emergency communications. This situation will
remain in place until the storm has passed and the need for these channels
no longer exists, or on September 6, whichever comes first.

These frequencies will be used: Channel 1 Primary voice traffic 5332 kHz
channel center, 5330.5 kHz USB voice; and Channel 2 Digital traffic 5348 kHz
channel center, 5346.5 kHz USB with 1.5 kHz offset to center of digital
waveform. Stations on 60 meters are asked to yield to operational traffic
related to Hurricane Ida.
