Folks, I have an IC-756PRO and a FT-2000D That need a new home.?
Both are in very good condition.
The 756PRO would be a good starter rig for a new ham or one just upgrading. The market seems to be between $400-$500. I?d take less for a club member in need.?
The FT-2000D is a 200 watt rig. I also have the matching power supply. There weren?t too many of these for sale on EHam but?Market appears to be at least $1000. Before I advertise this more widely I?d rather see a club member get it. Make me offer!?

Subject: [GCARC] HAARP Notice of Transmission for 8 - 14 August 2023
Message-ID: <CAPbiaC2qR_whbW_T2-+7g87L0oQ7ftVnT2p4eY5ofTzTomkiVg@mail.gmail.com>

Hello All,

Just passing this along in case anyone wants to monitor this event. I'm
not sure but it looks like it might be an art project of some sort.





*Date: August 3, 2022To: Amateur Radio & Radio Astronomy CommunitiesFrom:
HAARP Program OfficeSubject: Notice of Transmission*

The High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) will be
conducting a research campaign from Aug. 8
to Aug. 14, with operating times specified in the table below. Operating
frequencies will vary, but all HAARP
transmissions will be between 2.8 MHz and 10 MHz. Actual transmit days and
times are highly variable based on
real-time ionospheric and/or geomagnetic conditions. All information is
subject to change.

This campaign is being conducted in support of the 2023 Polar Aeronomy &
Radio Science Summer School. Some
examples of the experiments are generation of artificial field aligned
irregularities, scintillation at VHF and UHF in
an artificially altered ionosphere, mapping of the auroral electrojet
structure, modulation of the conductivity of the
D-region ionosphere, and production of SLF, ULF and VLF emissions by
pulsing the HAARP HF transmission on and
off. Experiments benefiting from amateur radio support or having citizen
science applications are noted below.

Ghosts In The Airglow (GITAG) ? The final part of a three-part transmission
art project funded by the Canada
Council for the Arts, mixing audio and images at the boundary between
Earth?s atmosphere and outer space. For
Composition No. 3, Christie has invited contributions from other artists
including, Vladyslav Atavin, Jos? Alejandro
Rivera, Sarah Nance, Rasu-Yong Tugen, Genevi?ve D?Ortun, and T. D. Walker.
This composition also includes Morse
code transmissions created by turning the HAARP pulse on and off. Another
new experiment being tried in this
composition is the creation of a drawing in the waterfall.

As a citizen science experiment to learn more about propagation, shortwave
listeners from around the world are
invited to tune in and submit reception reports in exchange for QSL cards.
Transmission frequencies will be listed
on the project's new website www.ghostsintheairglow.space, and reception
reports can be submitted using the
online form which is also on the website. For those who do not have access
to shortwave radio equipment, the
project will also be streamed live on the home page of the project?s
website. There are frequently two frequencies
transmitted simultaneously, and as such there are two videos embedded side
by side (one for each frequency) that
can be viewed simultaneously.

A supplement accompanies this Notice of Transmission that provides general
information for HAARP Radio
Enthusiasts as well as some information on the application of software
defined radio receivers in detecting,
demodulating and monitoring HAARP transmissions.

For more information on PARS, please see:
https://www.uaf.edu/news/polar-aeronomy-and-radio-science-
summer-school-returns-to-haarp.php

For updates on ionospheric conditions in Gakona, please consult ionograms
from the HAARP Diagnostic Suite:
https://haarp.gi.alaska.edu/diagnostic-suite

*General Information for HAARP Radio Enthusiasts:*

1) The HAARP Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI) transmits only in the
frequency range 2.695 to 9.995 MHz, with
certain frequencies blocked out as specified in the FCC license for call
sign WI2XFX. The emission bandwidth may
be up to 46 kHz wide depending on the frequency and experiment.

2) The types of modulation vary with the experiment requirements. Some
emission designators are 16K0M0N,
26K0P0N, 40K5A3N, 43K0H0N, 46K0F3N, and 46K0N0N. Emission designators are
not specified in HAARP
experiments.

3) Most experiments depend on ionospheric and geomagnetic conditions that
are mostly unpredictable. The
transmission frequencies for a given experiment may change to track changes
in those conditions with little or no
notice.

4) A scheduled experiment that depends on certain ionospheric or
geomagnetic conditions may be rescheduled or
cancelled if the required conditions do not occur.

5) The IRI may be setup to simultaneously transmit two modulated or
unmodulated carriers depending on the
experiment requirements.

6) To request a HAARP QSL card, send reception reports to: HAARP, P.O. Box
271, Gakona, Alaska 99586 USA.
Please note that due to the volume of requests received, it may take some
time to respond to your request.

7) Additional information can be found on the HAARP webpage at:
https://haarp.gi.alaska.edu/

*Monitoring HAARP IRI transmissions with a Software Defined Radio Receiver:*

1) Listeners with an SDR receiver capable of 8 MHz bandwidth can monitor
the entire frequency band noted above;

2) Most IRI transmissions Start and End on the minute; that is, when
HH:MM:SS = HH:MM:00, where HH is the UTC
hour, MM is the minute and SS is the second;

3) When a carrier is seen to pop up on the SDR?s displayed spectra, the
listener can identify the center frequency
using the SDR software and then reduce the bandwidth to further monitor,
demodulate or analyze the signal;

4) If two SDRs are available, one can be used in a wideband mode to locate
the signals and the other can be used in
a narrowband mode to analyze, demodulate or monitor the signals;

5) Since the maximum emission bandwidth is 46 kHz (?23 kHz), SDRs with a 50
kHz bandwidth setting are able to
monitor the entire modulated signal after it is located. The center
frequency may be stepped through a range of
frequencies or may change according to experiment requirements to another,
far removed frequency;

6) Not all experiments use the full 46 kHz bandwidth, some use only a pure
carrier and some use single sideband;

7) Radio propagation conditions and the IRI beam direction will affect the
reception of the IRI transmissions or cause
a fadeout at the receiver location. Propagation conditions and beam
directions can change significantly and
rapidly during an experiment;

8) Some experiments require the IRI beam to be pointed along the local
magnetic zenith. This means the beam is
pointed parallel to the local magnetic field lines, or approximately 75?
elevation and 16? east of north;

9) Although the HAARP IRI transmits only in the HF range (see above), the
transmissions can and some experiments
are designed to generate SLF, ULF, and VLF emissions in the D/E-region
ionosphere. Modulated heating of the
D/E-region electrons by the HF transmissions in turn modulates the plasma
conductivity, which generates a
virtual antenna at altitudes between 70 and 85 km. Emissions up to 20 kHz
have been demonstrated but most are
below a few kilohertz. These low frequency emissions can propagate in the
Earth-Ionosphere Waveguide or by
other mechanisms, depending on frequency, and conceivably can travel great
distances.

*Greetings To All*



TIMES KEEP GETTING MORE AND MORE TRYING.



A great loss to the EvComm Ops team this week, to his family and friends,
to the world itself.  Jedi Jim Fisher was one of the best men I have met in
many many years, and he leaves a legacy of goodness.



Jim did a great deal to help recruit old and new HAMS alike for our event,
and things in the HAM world throughout.  I will keep this short.



Our numbers really went nowhere this past week.  We are still only a third
of where we need to be to support this event fully.



IN JIM?S MEMORY, let?s not wait!!!!  (He already had his volunteer form in.)

Please go to N3MSS.org and click on the link to sign up, or download the
paper form, and send it in as soon as possible.



A couple of things to remember:

Everyone gets our recruitment emails in an effort to keep things in mind,
and we request that you forward our emails to all the HAMS you know,
because we are sure you know some that are not on our email list.

If you volunteered, and did not receive a confirmation email, that means we
have not received your sign up.  Please put another one in.



You all will hear from us again this week with an update to our progress.



We Thank You all for your help, we look forward to working with you all
this year,

And remember, if anyone can do it, Jim will find a way to make a contact
with someone.



Thanks Again
With Much Appreciation

W9IMS is on air now 7.252 LSB.  As you read about in the article about
special event stations in this month's Crosstalk, they have really nice QSL
card if you make a contact..Can see examples from prior years linked from
https://www.qrz.com/db/w9ims
Just made my contact between storms using dipole in attic of my house.
They are booming in to East Coast right now.
Good luck anyone who tries!

Subject: [GCARC] Meteor Scatter and Viewing - Saturday August 12 at the
	Clubhouse
Message-ID: <PH8PR11MB66090CBF0AD94D81055001A9B20CA@PH8PR11MB6609.namprd11.prod.outlook.com>

The Perseids meteor shower will peak this weekend and we?ll be trying to work some meteor scatter QSOs throughout Saturday from the Clubhouse station on 6 meters. Also ? the Clubhouse provides a wide-open relatively dark area that?s good for sky viewing, so if your family members are interested in looking for meteors plan to bring them down on Saturday night.

Meteor concentrations for scatter QSOs are said to be higher in early morning so I?m planning to get to the clubhouse by 8 AM. How long the Clubhouse will be staffed throughout the day will depend on individual schedules and availability, but we?ll definitely be back by 7 PM to resume radio activity.

Sunset is around 8:30, which would be a good time to show up for viewing. Cameras on tripods may yield some good shots and binoculars may be helpful. Bring blankets or lawn chairs and flashlights (ideally with red light) ? the clubhouse floodlights will be disabled to maximize viewing.

Check the weather beforehand ? clouds don?t interfere with radio signals but will impede viewing. Thunderstorms will obviously cancel both events.

The clubhouse is on the Gloucester County 4H fairgrounds<https://www.google.com/maps/place/235+Bridgeton+Pike+%2377,+Mullica+Hill,+NJ+08062/@39.7201291,-75.2238081,14z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x89c6d8fb188080c1:0x45ea3bd38cd7cb2c!8m2!3d39.7166975!4d-75.211421?entry=ttu> at 235 Bridgeton Pike (Rt 77) Mullica Hill, NJ, 08062.

Hello All,

We have good news and bad news.

Bad news first.

We are still way low on our sign-ups for all areas of our support.? No 
matter what interests you, please fill out your form and let us know. We 
are starting to fill in assignments, and we want to try to have things 
set up as quickly as possible.

Now the Good News in sorts:

Due to the low amount of folks registered, we are able to extend the cut 
off date for overnight rooms in and around Ocean City for 2 day 
volunteers.? The new cut off date is

September 1, 2023.

Please remember to list possible room mates.? If you are looking to 
share a room with someone specific, we need to know as soon as possible. 
Also to remember, if you are requesting a room for overnight without 
room mates, we will be assigning rooms with more than 1 person? in the room.

As always, everyone gets our recruitment emails, even if you have 
already signed up. If you have not received a confirmation of you 
registration, please contact us as soon as possible. Please forward this 
email to anyone you think would be interested in helping us out with 
this event, to help the people in our area with Multiple Sclerosos.

Please go to N3MSS.ORG <http://N3MSS.ORG> and click on the link to 
register.? This is also a great place for more information on what we do 
and what we need.

Thanks again, and we look forward to working with everyone.

With Much Appreciation

FYI, the latest iPhones can send emergency texts via satellite when WiFi
cellular networks are down.  The best part is, you don't need Frank,
Jonathan or a raspberry Pi to orient the antenna!  I may have to get one the
next time my venerable iPhone 6S needs battery replacement.

The clubhouse will be open tomorrow morning as we set up to try to work some meteor scatter contacts tomorrow throughout the day. Optimal viewing isn?t until after sunset, of course, but darkness isn?t needed for radio contacts. We may shut down in late afternoon but clubhouse will be open again from about 7 PM until at least 10 PM for meteor watchers (sunset is around 8:30). If you?re interested in viewing meteors or checking out the meteor scatter radio progress come on down tomorrow. See my previous email for more info and directions to the clubhouse.

At the moment, the weather forecast for Saturday looks very good for visual meteor observations?

At a minimum we'll be using the 6 meter beam and a 100 watt radio (not yet determined). Possibly we can add the 6 meter 1 kw (I think...) amp. We might also be able to use a 2 meter radio, again possibly with a 1 kw amp and the 22 element satellite antennas.  We'll work it all out tomorrow.

I'd like to see that work. Exactly which satellites?

Apple uses the GlobalStar network and the pointing app is built into the operating system. The orbital elements are updated periodically in the background and when the emergency SOS function is triggered it looks at the GPS location and time and computes the next visible satellite. It then give the user visual prompts to point the top of the phone at the satellite.

Pretty straightforward stuff?

We got the meteor scatter station set up this AM using the Flex 3000 and the Elecraft amplifier, along with the 6 meter beam and made several contacts before activity dropped off. Hopefully it will pick up later in the day. We'll be back by 7 PM tonight to resume operations.

Viewing of meteors should be good by sunset (about 8:30) but unfortunately there a rodeo at the 4H fairgrounds that may create light pollution in an otherwise dark area. Also, it rained this afternoon so the ground may still be wet. Nonetheless we hope to have a good turnout for QSO and meteor watching later today.

Subject: [GCARC] Meteor Scatter and Viewing - Saturday August 12 at the Clubhouse

The Perseids meteor shower will peak this weekend and we'll be trying to work some meteor scatter QSOs throughout Saturday from the Clubhouse station on 6 meters. Also - the Clubhouse provides a wide-open relatively dark area that's good for sky viewing, so if your family members are interested in looking for meteors plan to bring them down on Saturday night.

Meteor concentrations for scatter QSOs are said to be higher in early morning so I'm planning to get to the clubhouse by 8 AM. How long the Clubhouse will be staffed throughout the day will depend on individual schedules and availability, but we'll definitely be back by 7 PM to resume radio activity.

Sunset is around 8:30, which would be a good time to show up for viewing. Cameras on tripods may yield some good shots and binoculars may be helpful. Bring blankets or lawn chairs and flashlights (ideally with red light) - the clubhouse floodlights will be disabled to maximize viewing.

Check the weather beforehand - clouds don't interfere with radio signals but will impede viewing. Thunderstorms will obviously cancel both events.

The clubhouse is on the Gloucester County 4H fairgrounds<https://www.google.com/maps/place/235+Bridgeton+Pike+%2377,+Mullica+Hill,+NJ+08062/@39.7201291,-75.2238081,14z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x89c6d8fb188080c1:0x45ea3bd38cd7cb2c!8m2!3d39.7166975!4d-75.211421?entry=ttu> at 235 Bridgeton Pike (Rt 77) Mullica Hill, NJ, 08062.

Yes, and we were running about 900 watts so I expect that we could also have lit up your kitchen lights.

We made about 8 legit meteor scatter contacts but also figured out how to do it right. We?ll be better prepared for the next event.

Subject: [GCARC] FREE Rigblaster Nomic
Message-ID: <784679446.195814.1691977326933@connect.xfinity.com>

Hi all,
I have a Rigblaster Nomic (West Mountain Radio) I came across. I had this set up around 2010 for RTTY when I went to V26E. It worked well, and was easy to set up.
It is a very small box, and very simple setup. It worked great with my Icom 756 Pro III that I had at the time.
 
FREE to first person who responds. Great way to try out digital or RTTY without investing $ first. I'm including the Radio to Nomic cable (8 pin Foster that was wired for Icom), and  a short 3.5mm male both ends cable for autio in or out. There are 2 jacks so you will need a 2nd cable (one for IN one for OUT for the sound card or for the audio in/out jacks on your PC).
 
Requires a serial cable (has female DB9 builtin).
This was a bare bones solution at the time, and does not have a builtin sound card, so you will either need an external one, or use your computer's sound card.
Manual downloadable at West Mountain Radio.

8.14 8:30AM
TORNADO THREAT EXPANDED TO THE COAST

TIMEFRAME: 9pm-4am

Yesterday the 5% was just around Washington & Baltimore. It expanded to cover northern DE last night and now pretty much our entire viewing area. with the exception of the coast. IF the dynamics look like they do now by late afternoon, I fully expected a Tornaod watch (second in a week) to be issued for at least a portion of the area. 

This is a NIGHTTIME threat. I'm going to be a little more pushy with getting people informed on this through the day because these storms could very well come through during the wee hours of the morning...so please make sure your phone is turned on and sound is up in the event a warning is issued. 

We've had 13 tornadoes in New Jersey this Summer. 11 have occurred in a 2 or 5% chance. I take this seriously. You should too. 

Now I'm not sitting here telling you this IS going to happen. That's not how it works. But I am telling you it's POSSIBLE based on the data I'm looking at and I need you to be weather aware. Pass it on.

Due to possible high winds tonight, the GCARC HF tower is cranked down 
out of harms way.

The HF station can still be used, BUT ONLY ON 10,15,20 AND 40 METERS!

The tower will probably go back up Wednesday evening.

Heh that would explain why the signal was R+24 . :D

While I was monitoring activity I had a few questions that I wanted to
partition the expertise of the group.

I see that from time to time the band (6m) opens up for a spell then
closes. I suppose it's that time of the year. My main question here is how
can an operator be certain that they are logging a true meteor scatter
contact instead of say a brief Sporadic-E event? Would there be a
difference in the way the signal sounds? I know that generally
Sporadic-E can last minutes instead of seconds but is it not possible that
it does indeed only last a few seconds?

Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on this.

We could tell from the display on the SDR screen (we were using the Flex 3000 and the panadaptor was pretty important in separating meteor scatter transmissions from others). Generally the meteor scatter transmissions were a pretty brief burst while others were longer. It looks like the protocol repeats the packet about 6 times during the transmission so a burst any time during that 15 seconds (I think) might contain all of the data.  I don?t know if it would assemble partial packets from the same transmission ? it would be nice to know that about the protocol.

One other issue that was obvious on Saturday night was that if there was a strong local station on one timeslot we had to transmit on that same timeslot, otherwise we?d never hear anything because the other signal would trample it. The protocol suggests that stations beaming west transmit on the even slots and those beaming east transmit on the odd slots but it seems that avoiding strong local stations is pretty imperative. And if there are two local stations on different timeslots you might as well shut down because you?ll never hear anything.

We were looking for info on the best operating techniques for meteor scatter, specifically the direction to aim the antennas based on where in the sky the transmissions were originating. After we had shut down the station I found another program that seemed to help with that but I?ll need to do more research to understand it better.

Although we did get several true meteor scatter contacts the main takeaway was the knowledge of how to get set up for these events. Running the Elecraft amp with the Flex worked well but we?ll need about 75 feet of coax to connect to the antenna in the VHF room (we borrowed 50 feet last weekend). We also know that morning is a better time for QSOs ? we did much better on Saturday AM than PM and the chatrooms made the same point.

I?m pulling together a Crosstalk article on the whole experience that will hopefully give us some guidance for the next event. If anyone is interested in this mode please check out that article and let me know of additions or corrections that we can make to have better success next time. We can also discuss it at the September General Membership meeting. There are several such events throughout the year and we?ll probably set up for several of them now that we know how to do it.

Heh that would explain why the signal was R+24 . :D

While I was monitoring activity I had a few questions that I wanted to partition the expertise of the group.

I see that from time to time the band (6m) opens up for a spell then closes. I suppose it's that time of the year. My main question here is how can an operator be certain that they are logging a true meteor scatter contact instead of say a brief Sporadic-E event? Would there be a difference in the way the signal sounds? I know that generally Sporadic-E can last minutes instead of seconds but is it not possible that it does indeed only last a few seconds?

Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on this.

Viewing of meteors should be good by sunset (about 8:30) but unfortunately there a rodeo at the 4H fairgrounds that may create light pollution in an otherwise dark area. Also, it rained this afternoon so the ground may still be wet. Nonetheless we hope to have a good turnout for QSO and meteor watching later today.

Subject: [GCARC] Meteor Scatter and Viewing - Saturday August 12 at the Clubhouse

The Perseids meteor shower will peak this weekend and we'll be trying to work some meteor scatter QSOs throughout Saturday from the Clubhouse station on 6 meters. Also - the Clubhouse provides a wide-open relatively dark area that's good for sky viewing, so if your family members are interested in looking for meteors plan to bring them down on Saturday night.

Meteor concentrations for scatter QSOs are said to be higher in early morning so I'm planning to get to the clubhouse by 8 AM. How long the Clubhouse will be staffed throughout the day will depend on individual schedules and availability, but we'll definitely be back by 7 PM to resume radio activity.

Sunset is around 8:30, which would be a good time to show up for viewing. Cameras on tripods may yield some good shots and binoculars may be helpful. Bring blankets or lawn chairs and flashlights (ideally with red light) - the clubhouse floodlights will be disabled to maximize viewing.

Check the weather beforehand - clouds don't interfere with radio signals but will impede viewing. Thunderstorms will obviously cancel both events.

The clubhouse is on the Gloucester County 4H fairgrounds<https://www.google.com/maps/place/235+Bridgeton+Pike+%2377,+Mullica+Hill,+NJ+08062/@39.7201291,-75.2238081,14z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x89c6d8fb188080c1:0x45ea3bd38cd7cb2c!8m2!3d39.7166975!4d-75.211421?entry=ttu> at 235 Bridgeton Pike (Rt 77) Mullica Hill, NJ, 08062.

While cleaning out my shed, I found about 100? of CATV hardline that I was going to use when I had a tower.

While 75 ohm, there are designs to home brew matching transformers to adapt to 50 ohm loads.

Free to a good home, just come to my QTH to pick up.

At last night's Directors meeting the Board approved the appointment of Al Arrison KB2AYU as a Director to fill the position vacated by the untimely passing of Chuck Colabrese WA2TML. The Board also approved the appointment of John O'Connell K2QA as Treasurer, replacing Al in that position. This change, which was planned in advance, allowed Al to transition away from the Treasurer position that he has held for many years and yet remain in a club leadership position. These appointments take effect immediately although the actual transition of the treasurer role may take some time to complete.

This change, which was planned in advance, allowed Al to transition away from the Treasurer position that he has held for many years and yet remain in a club leadership position. These appointments take effect immediately although the actual transition of the treasurer role may take some time to complete.73 de Jon WB2MNFGCARC President______________________________________________________________GCARC mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/gcarcHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:GCARC at mailman.qth.netThis list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Subject: [GCARC] Remote HF Station
Message-ID: <CAPF99JxxvXpoDyZGtrbkY_7xzMWCLPKrg6eiDZQv_gd5mDBzyw@mail.gmail.com>

For all concerned, the Remote HF station is now repaired and back up and
running.  However, when *John K2QA* gets some time to look into the
specific problem that brought it down, it may have to be taken offline
again for a little bit to make the final repairs.

The problem was that the unit hung on an automated restart after automatic
installation of Windows updates.  That explains why it was up and running
when I checked it yesterday after the power was out, but that it later went
down.  When it restarted after the power outage, it was working fine when I
checked it.  But at the same time, it was apparently installing the
updates, and it went to restart after the update installation, which is
when it hung up and did not restart properly.

I rolled back the update this morning to get the PC back up and the HF
station operational, but the root problem will still need repair at some
time in the future, which I will gladly leave up to *John K2QA*.

There is a massive vhf/uhf tropo opening in the upper midwest.

Looks like it might extend to the east coast later today or tonight.

All,

 

The latest Hamfest flier is on the website for viewing and to download. This
year will be the 5th Annual ARRL SNJ Section Convention and our 45th Annual
Hamfest.

 

Mark Gottlieb, KK2L will be operating a special event station, callsign W2M,
at our Hamfest. Mark operated the same call at out 40th Hamfest in 2018.

 

Time to start promoting our Hamfest on club net's throughout the region!

 

Phil-Mont has a net every weekday at 5:00 pm on 147.030 (91.5) & EchoLink
W3QV-R.

SCARA has morning net at 9:00 am on 146.745 (146.2) & EchoLink K2BR-R.

SJRA has a Monday night net at 8:00 pm on 145.290 (91.5) & EchoLink K2AA-R.

Marple-Newtown ARC has a daily net at 8:30 am on 147.195 (100.0) & EchoLink
N3RJV-L.

 

There may be other nets I do not know about, so get on them and promote OUR
HAMFEST!

 

Tell them to go to our website that will have the latest Hamfest
information. It is being updated daily! Also look at the 2023 Hamfest
Sponsors page, which is being updated daily with door prize information.

 

Also, if you want to VOLUNTEER for our Hamfest, go to the 2023 Hamfest
Sign-up Sheet on the website and SIGN-UP!

 

We also need VEs for the Hamfest exam session at the Clubhouse starting at
0900 Hours. You can sign-up for that on the Sign-Up Sheet web page or
contact Gary Reed N2QEE.

 

2023 HAMFEST MEMBERSHIP SPECIAL : People who sign-up for Club membership at
our Hamfest, the Full membership fee will cover the balance of this year
PLUS  the entire next year. New members MUST sign-up at the Clubhouse! I
would rather handle the sign-up procedure in the Clubhouse than to burden a
fellow Club member up at the Hamfest to help someone fill out the membership
application and take their money. I will setup a PC in the Clubhouse with
access to our on-line membership application and access to the FCC website
if they need an FRN before taking the exam.

 

Whew! I think that's enough for now!

 

Thanks. 20 DAYS!

Decided to check out the ARRL RTTY Rookie Roundup today on 20M.  I was eligible to be a rookie because my first QSO using any mode was in 2021.

I only saw two stations over a 2-3 hour period. Manage to make QSOs with them for 4 points.  At least I got some practice using FLDIGI. ?

All,

Forwarding this message for Bike MS.


PLEASE  -  PLEASE  -  PLEASE

 

Hello All,

 

I waited an extra day to send out this email in hopes of a turn around.

 

In the past week, we only had 6 new sign ups, and we had 2 folks pull out due to personal circumstances for City to Shore.   WOW ? that means we increased our numbers by a whopping 4 folks.

LET?S RECAP:

We are still in the need for at least 35 ? 40 route volunteers

We are still in the need of 10 ? 12 Support Radio volunteers.

We are still in the need of 15 + Non-Ham Ham support volunteers, and

We are still in the need of at least 25 to 40 Road Marshals.

 

(These numbers don?t reflect the Bike to the Bay.  We will put out another email within the next few days strictly for Bike To The Bay.)

 

Okay, that puts our needs to at least 85 to 100+ additional volunteers within the next 4 weeks to fully support the event the way it needs to be supported fully.

 

PLEASE DON?T WAIT ANY LONGER.  There is a lot to do to get things ready for the event, and the numbers mean a lot on how things are set up.  Less people means more work for everyone, not less.

 

PLEASE GO TO     N3MSS.ORG   NOW TO SIGN UP FOR THE EVENT.

Please pass this along to everyone you know to try to help our recruitment. Let everyone know about the website to get information on the event and what we need.

 

We want to THANK everyone in advance, and look forward to working with everyone this year and many years more.

 

With Much Appreciation

All, 

 

For those who might still need WinLink Training, here is a series of Zoom
Meetings, that will be recorded and placed on you tube.  

 

WinLink is the preferred method for Emergency Communications reporting but
can also be used to send email messages to friends and family, using their
commercial email accounts.  

 

Regards,

All,

 

Please see the upcoming Winlink Presentations schedule on RATPAC to be held
on 5 consecutive Thursday evenings and then to be placed on You Tube under
the RATPAC video series.  First, there is a look at a new IOS client,
RadioMail, then a four part series on Winlink Forms.

 

(Extra Bonus) Thursday, August 24, RadioMail: an IOS based Winlink Client.

Thursday, August 24, Georges Arberger, WH6AZ, will present his IOS Winlink
Client application. People ask for such an end-user IOS application, and
here it is...  This should be educational and perhaps an interesting view
toward the future. Please join the RATPAC and let's see what this is all
about.

 

 

 

Winlink Forms, "How to" provided by the Winlink Development Team:

 

This series is about the utilization of Form Templates and how to get the
most out of them. Recently, the use of these form templates has increased,
dramatically, and many are requesting more detailed information about how to
use and configure these templates for their specific purposes.

 

Thursday, August 31st, Winlink Filtering of incoming Form Results. 

Phil Sherrod, W4PHS, the current author of the Winlink programs set, will
take the mystery out of the filtering available for obtaining the exact
informations needed from incoming mappable form results. This is important
in insuring that the results requested will be properly viewed properly, not
only for the Winlink Express client maps, but also for the files produced
for external GIS programs such as Google Maps or ArcGIS. 

 

Thursday, September 7th, Winlink Forms Update.

On Thursday, September 7th, Oliver Dully, K6OLI, our Winlink Forms Manager,
will demonstrate exciting updates to Standard Forms (e.g. Winlink Check-in,
Quick Forms, etc.) and Specialized Forms (Cert etc.).  As with Phil
Sherrod's filtering information, this will assist the user leveraging
Winlink Form Data for visual display on GIS software, like Google Maps.
ArcGIS, and more.

 

Thursday, September 14th, Practical Use of Winlink and Winlink Forms, an
example from CERT in California.

On Thursday, September 14th, John "JT" Trinterud, K9ONR, will provide some
practical applications of his use of Winlink Forms.  John was invited by
Oliver Dully, K6OLI, ther Winlink Forms Manager, to provide this example use
of the Winlink Forms and more. 

 

Thursday, September 21st, Managing Events with Winlink ICS Forms.

In this workshop, you will work with Oliver dully, K6OLI, and Winlink's
robust ICS Forms library in planning events using the "Planning P." We will
work on setting objectives (ICS-202) for your group, listing radio resources
(ICS-217), devising a Radio Plan (ICS-205), providing assignments (ICS-204),
and generating activity logs (ICS-214) and communications logs (Form 309).
This workshop may be used as an example of how volunteer resources may apply
their skills for agencies involved in emergency incidents.

 

 

Here is the URL and other such information for the RATPAC ZOOM sessions:

I won #1 Maryland entry last year, from my truck, parked across the bay
from Assateague Island.  I had maybe a dozen contacts in total. This event
could benefit from better participation, so please consider getting on the
air if you can.

We're going to try to solve the Echolink instability problem tomorrow by reconfiguring its proximity to the WinLink transmitters. Therefore both stations will be offline for various periods tomorrow AM.

Jon,
I currently have an RMS station, KD2LNB-11 on 223.580 running at my home in Wash Twp. If you need to test the 220 setups. My location is a little compromised but have always been able to hit W2MMD-4.

Thanks, Mike. The issue isn't with the operation of the Winlink station - it's the possibility that RF from that station is getting into the Echolink PC which has been crashing randomly. Sometimes it reboots itself but sometimes locks up and need a power cycle. We're going to move the PC to the top shelf and reroute all of the RF cables lower. We're also going to put ferrite chokes on the PC leads.

Ultimately the Winlink station should be moved into the VHF room but in the meantime we'd like to cure this problem

Jon

GCARC,

Friday August 25, 2023 ARRL Section Mangers from the Northern New Jersey Section and the Southern New Jersey Section met in Princeton NJ, with representatives from the Red Cross New Jersey Region to sign a cooperation agreement. The purpose of the Memorandum of Understanding focuses on disaster planning and response for communities within New Jersey during and after a disaster event.

Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES) teams in New Jersey will provide assistance with communications in support of disaster relief. This is based on the cooperation agreement between ARES and the New Jersey Red Cross Region.

ARES teams will provide assistance through training, testing, exercises, and by providing emergency communications to support local shelter operations. This is especially important when normal communications are disrupted or overloaded.

Amateur Radio Emergency Services teams throughout New Jersey have been supporting American Red Cross shelter disaster operations and operating region American Red Cross emergency communications for some time. An example is the Princeton office is maintained and operated by the Mercer County team and ARC Pennsauken Office is supported by Gloucester County team. Other joint ARES/RACES/AUXCOMM teams have provided ARC shelter services during past emergency activations.

More details regarding the joint exercise, procedures for activation and deployment will be provided shortly.

If you have any questions or wish to register for this program, send me an email at KD2NEC at QSL.NET

Best regards

Bob KD2NEC
GCARC Emergency Coordinator

Both ARC and ARES staffs are working on finalizing operation details for the SET prior to a virtual meeting for ARES leadership is scheduled for September 11, 2023 at 7 pm local.  A copy of the SET scenario with proposed operating plan will be sent with meeting access.

 

Tentative Time Line  

*	ARC verify forms to be used for supporting shelters - {Completed on 8/25/23 and within WINLK}
*	ARC provide ARES with shelter locations by August 30.
*	ARES to update proposed SET scenario and send to ARES Leadership with meeting access by September 4. - {On-Going}

*	Prior to meeting request County ARES teams: 

*	Review proposed SET scenario for questions or concerns.
*	Consider selecting an AEC for Schelter Coordination.

Subject: [GCARC] Revisions to Echolink and Winlink stations yesterday
Message-ID: <PH8PR11MB6609BB0D4793550F6B5B3A06B2E1A@PH8PR11MB6609.namprd11.prod.outlook.com>

Yesterday Mike KG4JYA and I attempted to solve an issue that has apparently plagued the Echolink station. The Event Log for the Windows computer on that station showed "unexpected" restarts occurring at odd times - sometimes in the middle of the night when nobody would be operating - that indicated that something had crashed the computer.  Sometimes the computer could restart itself while other times it required a hard reboot on-site.

Looking at the previous physical equipment layout we saw that the RF components (notably the diplexer and feedlines) of the Winlink station ran directly over some of the cables for the Echolink PC and surmised that the RF from Winlink may be getting into the Echolink PC (which is an inexpensive Atom-powered device that replaced the previous Pentium 4 monster) and crashing it. We removed everything, moved both computers to the top shelf, moved the radios and cables to the bottom shelf and ran the coax vertically down from there. Mike also put ferrite chokes onto all of the cables running into either of the PCs.

We couldn't test anything because the Echolink restarts appeared to be random, but hopefully these changes will mitigate some of the issues that we've had with that station.

Unfortunately it appears that something has now gotten messed up with the Winlink station since I'm getting notifications that it's off the air. I'll try to get to the clubhouse sometime soon to check it out. It worked fine yesterday.

Hi all,
Since 0045Z tonight (2hrs as I write this), a steady stream of China, Japan, Thailand, South Korea, Indonesia, and one Philippines have been answering my CQs on 15m FT8.  Several Chinese and the Philippines stations are already confirmed in LotW!
Over 60 stations in the log so far and it's still going strong.
200W on the FTDX-9000D to the C3S tribander at 52ft.

Copied from another club website, may be of interest to us 

 

 <https://www.qrz.com/db/AI4SR> Jim Schings AI4SR and the  <https://www.facebook.com/groups/113551072070333> Bluegrass Amateur Radio Society will be launching 1 or possibly 2 balloons for Eastern Kentucky University from their stadium early on Aug 31. Assuming decent weather conditions. they will also be launching 2 balloons Oct 6th or 7th (Prior to the start of the BARS Hamfest.) We will have a large screen monitor set up to track the balloons at the hamfest. (Again based upon weather conditions.) Track them on  <https://aprs.fi/> APRS.FI EKU Balloons are planned to be AI4SR-11 and APRS-13. The October balloons will be KA4USA-1 and AI4SR-2. They will probably be using a couple different types of balloons and one with Helium and one with Hydrogen. Just to compare longevity and altitudes, etc. More info as we get closer.
