I?ve been working on an updated web site for the club, one that is a bit 
easier for Frank or I to update.I don?t want to replace the one we have 
now until everything is up to snuff.I need to get some input from club 
members as how to go.I uploaded my thoughts on a site to my web page at 
w0lpd.org so when you get some time, take a look and let me know what 
you think.Remember, I am not a web designer and this is a learning 
experience.If any of the club members are web designers and want to take 
this project by the horns, let me know and Frank and? I will let you 
have it.

There are links on the site to email me your suggestions and thoughts.

Thanks and 73 for now,

Fred/w0lpd

I was just going to make the same recommendation about using WordPress 
or consider Drupal <https://www.drupal.org/industries/nonprofit>. Drupal 
might be a better solution for multiple users doing content editing. 
I've built a few websites from scratch but I'm trying to back out of 
that and simplify my life.

Here's one site I built <http://graysonfriends.org/> and am paid to 
maintain, it might provide some ideas for organization and design.

good article...thx

RF & Microwave magazine had (in the last few months) an article about
using HF because delay time is MUCH shorter than satellite and internet.

In a time where posting to the Bitcoin Ledger (aka: BlockChain), timing
is everything.

Flex 6400/6600 radios have an 8 position Receive equalizer.  Soooo ? which frequencies do you boost and which do you either leave alone or attenuate??

My solution was to get a FREE audio hearing test at Costco.  Now I know the frequencies each ear is deficient at so I can intelligently boost them to hear the best.

The impetus for this is simple:
The desire for ARRL to add 375,000 new illegal Pactor stations to use free secure email in the US HF bands by relatively untrained individuals. More attacks on the safety of our spectrum, our hobby, ?and our country.

https://www.kb6nu.com/arrls-latest-push-wide-band-digital-arpa/
https://forums.qrz.com/index.php?threads/the-big-tent-of-amateur-radio-lets-find-a-better-way.612753/
Again, we are forced to write comments to the FCC against this NPRM RM-11828, and to lobby your elected congressional officials to ignore and rebuke the FCC for considering this RM and RM-11708/NPRM 16-239 without first fixing and enforcing its own rules in 95-2106 and 13-1918. 

Urge congress to tell the FCC to not act on this RM-11828 or NPRM 16-239, since the FCC has not properly safeguarded the airways such that hams may self police themselves to ensure proper use of amateur radio. There are so many digital modes now being developed and used by Winlink and ARSFI that are not able to be intercepted by others over the air, or even by the relay stations, themselves, and this RM-11828 was written when Chris Imlay , the former ARRL lawyer, was running the legal activities of ARRL.

This NPRM-11828 supports illegal and improper use of the amateur spectrum. Similar to NPRM 16-239, RM-11708.

Congress must hear from you!

So must ARRL elected officials and the FCC public comments.
We are still suffering from the effects of a dysfunctional ARRL board with this NPRM, before 5 new ARRL officers were voted in this year.

We must be very vocal at Congress!

The league is pushing it - it's to allow techs to operate with NVIS style setups for Emcomm, their usual reasoning these days and 15 for some reason just came along for the ride.
I think if they were going to push this, they should push a bit more knowledge on HF into the technician pool and possibly limit them to narrow bandwidth digital modes, giving them full permission to run PACTOR/Winlink modes is just asking for it.? If a technician wants to jump in and have a go at PSK31 or FT8 then great, those modes are simple to use and live in well known spots.? I also commented that maybe the 40m permissions should be explicitly limited to daytime hours only if the goal there is Emcomm/NVIS, not DX.

Interesting information Adam. Thanks for posting this.
First, 80, 40, and 15 meters are the same bands that holders of the old novice license use to have access to. So someone is thinking about that license parameters as a guide or is using the same original reasons for choosing those bands for newbies.
What I don't understand is why RM-11828 would not allow CW to be operated on those same bands by Technician licensees. If that mode and band are allowed to these licensees, then some of them would take advantage of CW to learn and extend their skills.
I haven't actually looked at RM-11828 yet and wont have time today. Does anyone know who is promoting this rule change?

I know some folks here may have an interest in the outcome of that matter on both sides of the fence.

Team,

Found that article, it RF & Microwave Mag.  Sept. 2018
in the editorial section.   (rfmw.com)

Nothing about Bitcoin, but latency and how much is too much.
It does mention Ham radio and HF.

Don and everyone,

The ARRL is determined to destroy amateur radio.? Every year it seems 
that new hams have less technical knowledge, less sense of the 
traditions of ham radio and less understanding of why our regulations 
are what they are.? The ARRL's major goal seems to be to increase the 
number of so called hams no matter what the cost. I remember when the 
justification of ham radio included technical things like radio 
propagation studies, technical improvements to comm equipment, providing 
an experienced pool of technical and comm people for the nation.? There 
is some of these still going on but when was the last time you heard 
about them? ? It seems all we hear about now is EMCOM for which the ARRL 
provides training, etc.? Every thing the ARRL pushes seems to be for 
EMCOM.? E-mail doesn't belong on the ham bands - it is not amateur!? The 
way to get more techs licensed is to give them better HF privileges - 
but lets use HF NVIS on the low bands for EMCOM as the excuse.? My 
opinion is EMCOM is a scam and is invoked by ARRL to make ham radio more 
attractive to new hams to increase the number of hams.

My view of organizations is that the original people who lead the 
organization truly believe in what the organization does.? By the 3rd 
generation or so, the leaders just want to be in charge of something and 
don't care what the organization is.? The last ARRL president I had any 
respect for was W4KFC many years ago.? When I first joined the ARRL the 
only paid officer was the secretary. Probably the correct title.? His 
main job seemed to be do what needed to be done for the president, board 
and league to function.? Then we had an executive vice president and 
then a CEO.? It seem that by the time it was CEO, the president and 
board were superfluous.

Its not my league any more.? You younger guys need to decide what you 
want ham radio to be and act accordingly.

One thing they may be ignoring is that "ham radio", amateur radio is
strictly non commercial and could not be used for business.

good article...thx

RF & Microwave magazine had (in the last few months) an article about
using HF because delay time is MUCH shorter than satellite and internet.

In a time where posting to the Bitcoin Ledger (aka: BlockChain), timing

I tend to disagree on some of the points.I don?t remember back in 1957 
when I got my novice, whether there were 15 or 25 questions for the 
entrance class of license, but do remember one of the questions.?What is 
a grid dip meter used for??One of the answers was ?To dip ice cream at 
field day.?Technical? Duh.Anyway we must remember the purpose of the 
amateur service is to provide a group of trained operators for an 
emergency.This is the only reason we exist at all.? Most of the things I 
hear listening on the hf bands is chasing dx and contesting.Not ECOMM.On 
the other hand you have to follow the money.Remember when ARRL proposed 
dropping the code requirement?In Colorado, a ballot was sent to every 
ham in the rocky mountain division was sent a ballot to vote yes or no 
to eliminate the code, and the votes were counted and overwhelmingly the 
answer was no.Our director proceeded to HQ and voted yes.A lot of hams 
resigned from ARRL over this.The action however got a lot more hams into 
the hobby, thereby selling more equipment.More money!I suppose as us old 
dinosaurs who just love our J-38?s die off we will see equipment start 
coming out with no key jack at all.Some of the HF rigs already put the 
1/8 inch key jack on the back panel where it is not easy to use.But that 
will not make me resign from ARRL.? No way! We see a lot of activity for 
MESH networks, what would be wrong with a nationwide one on HF?But 
please put it in the SSB sections of the bands, and not screw up anymore 
of my favorites!

So true Harvey...

And it would also have to be encrypted, also a no-no.

My take on the RFMW article is some of these big business
have some HF allocations not ham related.

ZCZC AG10QST de W1AW
 ARRL Bulletin 10? ARLB010From ARRL Headquarters
 Newington CT? March 15, 2019To all radio amateurs 
SB QST ARL ARLB010ARLB010 FCC Invites Comments on ARRL Technician Enhancement Proposal
The FCC has invited public comments on ARRL's 2018 Petition for RuleMaking, now designated as RM-11828, which asks the FCC to expand HFprivileges for Technician licensees to include limited phoneprivileges on 75, 40, and 15 meters, plus RTTY and digital modeprivileges on 80, 40, 15, and 10 meters.
Interested parties have 30 days to comment. The Technicianenhancement proposals stemmed from the recommendations of the ARRLBoard of Directors' Entry-Level License Committee, which exploredvarious initiatives and gauged member opinions in 2016 and 2017.
"This action will enhance the available license operating privilegesin what has become the principal entry-level license class in theAmateur Service," ARRL said in its Petition. "It will attract morenewcomers to Amateur Radio, it will result in increased retention oflicensees who hold Technician Class licenses, and it will provide animproved incentive for entry-level licensees to increase technicalself-training and pursue higher license class achievement anddevelopment of communications skills."
Specifically, ARRL proposes to provide Technician licensees - bothpresent and future - with:
* Phone privileges at 3.900 to 4.000 MHz, 7.225 to 7.300 MHz, and21.350 to 21.450 MHz.
* RTTY and digital privileges in current Technician allocations on80, 40, 15, and 10 meters.
The ARRL petition points out the explosion in popularity of variousdigital modes over the past 2 decades. Under the ARRL plan, themaximum HF power level for Technician operators would remain at 200W PEP. The few remaining Novice licensees would gain no newprivileges under ARRL's proposal.
ARRL's petition points to the need for compelling incentives notonly to become a radio amateur in the first place, but then toupgrade and further develop skills. Demographic and technologicalchanges call for a "periodic rebalancing" between those twoobjectives, ARRL maintained in his proposal. The FCC has notassessed entry-level operating privileges since 2005.
The Entry-Level License Committee offered very specific data- andsurvey-supported findings about growth in Amateur Radio and itsplace in the advanced technological demographic, which includesindividuals younger than 30. It received significant input from ARRLmembers via more than 8,000 survey responses. "The Committee'sanalysis noted that today, Amateur Radio exists among many moremodes of communication than it did half a century ago, or even 20years ago," ARRL said in its petition.
Now numbering some 384,500, Technician licensees comprise more thanhalf of the US Amateur Radio population. ARRL stressed in itspetition the urgency of making the license more attractive tonewcomers, in part to improve upon Science, Technology, Engineering,and Mathematics (STEM) education, "that inescapably accompanies ahealthy, growing Amateur Radio Service."
ARRL said its proposal is critical to develop improved operatingskills, increasing emergency preparedness participation, improvingtechnical self-training, and boosting overall growth in the AmateurService, which has remained nearly inert at about 1% per year.
The Entry-Level License Committee determined that the currentTechnician class question pool already covers far more material thannecessary for an entry-level exam to validate expanded privileges.ARRL told the FCC that it would continue to refine examinationpreparation and training materials aimed at STEM topics, increaseoutreach and recruitment, work with Amateur Radio clubs, andencourage educational institutions to utilize Amateur Radio in STEMand other experiential learning programs.NNNN/EX

> The FCC has invited public comments on ARRL's 2018 Petition for RuleMaking, now designated as RM-11828, which asks the FCC to expand HFprivileges for Technician licensees to include limited phoneprivileges on 75, 40, and 15 meters, plus RTTY and digital modeprivileges on 80, 40, 15, and 10 meters.
> Interested parties have 30 days to comment. The Technicianenhancement proposals stemmed from the recommendations of the ARRLBoard of Directors' Entry-Level License Committee, which exploredvarious initiatives and gauged member opinions in 2016 and 2017.
> "This action will enhance the available license operating privilegesin what has become the principal entry-level license class in theAmateur Service," ARRL said in its Petition. "It will attract morenewcomers to Amateur Radio, it will result in increased retention oflicensees who hold Technician Class licenses, and it will provide animproved incentive for entry-level licensees to increase technicalself-training and pursue higher license class achievement anddevelopment of communications skills."
> Specifically, ARRL proposes to provide Technician licensees - bothpresent and future - with:
> * Phone privileges at 3.900 to 4.000 MHz, 7.225 to 7.300 MHz, and21.350 to 21.450 MHz.
> * RTTY and digital privileges in current Technician allocations on80, 40, 15, and 10 meters.
> The ARRL petition points out the explosion in popularity of variousdigital modes over the past 2 decades. Under the ARRL plan, themaximum HF power level for Technician operators would remain at 200W PEP. The few remaining Novice licensees would gain no newprivileges under ARRL's proposal.
> ARRL's petition points to the need for compelling incentives notonly to become a radio amateur in the first place, but then toupgrade and further develop skills. Demographic and technologicalchanges call for a "periodic rebalancing" between those twoobjectives, ARRL maintained in his proposal. The FCC has notassessed entry-level operating privileges since 2005.
> The Entry-Level License Committee offered very specific data- andsurvey-supported findings about growth in Amateur Radio and itsplace in the advanced technological demographic, which includesindividuals younger than 30. It received significant input from ARRLmembers via more than 8,000 survey responses. "The Committee'sanalysis noted that today, Amateur Radio exists among many moremodes of communication than it did half a century ago, or even 20years ago," ARRL said in its petition.
> Now numbering some 384,500, Technician licensees comprise more thanhalf of the US Amateur Radio population. ARRL stressed in itspetition the urgency of making the license more attractive tonewcomers, in part to improve upon Science, Technology, Engineering,and Mathematics (STEM) education, "that inescapably accompanies ahealthy, growing Amateur Radio Service."

Hi all,
I have a Tektronix 545 scope that's free to a good home.? It was my first scope and I got lots of great use out of it over the years.? I just fired it up and got a trace, but I didn't test it more than that because the rubber cooling fan mounting pucks need some TLC to allow the fan to operate correctly (quick fix).
Here's the deal---it's free for a good home until the end of next week, but after that I'm afraid I'll have to scrap it if there are no takers.? I'd hate for that to happen, but I really need the space.? Location is a few miles south of downtown Austin.

I wish my XYL's cochlear and additional hearing aid paired to Android too. 
However, the requirements for other pieces/parts narrowed the choice to 
Apple.  My XYL doesn?t really like her iphone either.

Dale,  thanks for the offer.  You are "the man".  I'm not in a hurry to get 
the iPad.  Problem is I have no idea which one to get that will work with 
both Flex and cochlear implant.  I see 4 generations of them with various 
amounts of memory.  I can check the implant side, can you help the Flex 
side??

If I am correct, the iPad can be the second client of two operators working 
my Flex at one time.

Subject: [HCARC] Next Thursday's Presentation - Introduction to RFI
Message-ID: <ABF18CD4-C86D-4E4E-AA80-658D8BE8F5A2@arrl.net>

At next Thursday?s HCARC meeting I will be doing a presentation called ?Introduction to RFI?. In an effort to get ready for the presentation I would like you to do a couple of things.
This next week before the meeting,  as you drive around tune your AM radio to the right side say 1710 or some place on the right side that does not have a station on it.  Kerrville is a great place to do this because the town is an RFI mess.  With your handy note pad and pencil at your side (our your phone) make notes about what you hear, where you are and when you hear it.
Grab an AM battery powered portable radio and do the same thing around your home. Most of you have an HT or portable battery powered receiver that will tune to the aircraft band.  If you do tune to say 135 AM or again a frequency near by with no traffic on it and listen and write down what you hear.  
Bring your radios and notes to the meeting.  We will have fun.  If you like to play detective or if you have never tried you will have fun.
Looking forward to Thursday night.

Oh, YEAH.
Kerrville is a mess. Especially downtown, and around the Red Cross.

A new kind of RFI source is these outdoor electronic advertising signs.
They break the squelch in my TM-D700 when I drive by them.
The FCC has put more stringent standards on them, but I wonder if the permitting authorities are keeping up with this.
Some business, I think it may have been the Chamber of Commerce wants to put a huge one in town.
