   Editor of the new magazine. On a personal note, I have two articles 
   in at CQ magazine which they now want to shift over to the VHF 
   magazine. So, I may get published a bit sooner than later. (ke3fl)

I have come across 5 or 6 unopened boxes of these 2 sided/double density
antiques that will unfortunately end up in the trash unless I hear from

FYI
Garvins are going to renew. Also, I got a renewal early in the game. Forgot the persons name but put him in touch with N3WM (now that I think of it, it wasn't a renewal,  he claimed he paid but wasn't on the roster). So keep your eyes open for Bill & Janes renewal.

Hello Fellow List Members

I'm not one to preach but we seem to get a lot on the reflector that may or may not be intended for all on the list. God knows, we get enough SPAM etc. already.

I inadvertantly contributed to that by answering this message from John Chesley. My reply was just for him but I replied to the message and the reply was sent to all. We are all used to replying to the sender, but in the case of this list, the reply address is the list-server, not the person sending the message.  It is easy to send unintentional mail. I know everyone knows this (including myself) but I thought a reminder might be in order.

Message-ID: <20020207.064541.1306.248257@wm1.wlv.juno.com>

Hello Folks,

On Tuesday evening I received a report that the 440.975 MHz repeater was
not responding.  I went up to the site this evening and found that the
power supply is dead.  I did not have any equipment to isolate the
failure, I just verified the problem through observation (All equipment
attached to the power supply had no power).
My next opportunity to go back up will be Saturday morning.

Why is it that mailman drops off the first character
of the title?

I sent "Net News #7" and that came through when it was
sent directly to me, but when I received it via
mailman I get [K3PZN-List]et News #7 as if
"[K3PZN-List]" is replaceing the N in Net.

What gives?

I learned a new lesson last night at the CCARC meeting, bring paper and a

train packet (the moving transmitter)?  All I remember is it is in the
457 MHz region.

Greetings Bart;

I really enjoyed your presentation on Radio Direction Finding. It gave me a
couple ideas for how I'd implement a directional antenna when we have our
next Fox Hunt.

Hope we can get a hunt organized within the next month or so. And hope
you'll be able to run the event for us!

or CT log

My main goals are (in order of importance):

2) all the fields required for ARRL and conversion of

3) Everything else is icing... ;-)

I have not used either one so both would be a learning

Greetings Friends;

The CCARC will be featured in a 30 minute segment on Adelphia Cable. The
show will be taped this weekend at 9:30 AM; to be aired sometime later. The
show leans towards public service organizations; it is presented by the
Department of Citizen Services, under the Commissioners of Carroll County.

So, what would you like folks to know about our club? About our hobby?

Who's interested in appearing with me? (Two's more fun than one)

Who can monitor the repeater Saturday morning if I'm looking for a demo
QSO?

All comments and ideas are welcome.

Kevin;

CT is the defacto standard for contesters.  It's
really the primary choice if you want to maintain
maximum flexibility for operating at other people's
stations.

Having said that - I am using writelog for 100%
of my contests - and I like it BETTER than CT for most
features.  It's windows, it's easy to network, and I
think it will overpower CT at some point in the
future.

For those of you that are interested in seeing how a
networked copy of writelog works during a contest -
come on over to my house this Friday night after 9:30!

The ARRL DX/CW contest is going on all weekend long...

73,

Ok Jim thanks that's good to know. I am still leaning
towards TR Log but I do want to be compatible for

Unfortunately he is not doing well at all. It's been a rollercoaster
ride, one day better next looks like he's checking out. Very rough on the
emotions!

He was stable today but it is very evident that he's had substantial
damage due to strokes.

I'll probably be at the Hospital with him Sat & Sunday.

Dear CCARCers;

I little update on me.  I finally got my HT!!  It a 2M Vertex VX-150.  I
was going to go for the model Phil had suggested to me, but I found out
this model was for sale for the same price and it had more features.  One
of the neatest things about it's design is that it's LCD is on the top of
the tranciever, so I can look at it from my belt like a pager.

I have been on the air twice, and so far have made 3 QSO's.  Two of the
QSO's were from the CCARC, Larry and Kevin.  At the time I made the QSO's
I had the wall wart AC power supply hooked up, so there was a noticable
hum in my transmission.  Other than that my audio quality was good.  I
also learned from my home I can hit the CCARC repeater with only 2 watts.
 So hope to meet all of you on the air.

To Clint, if you get this;  I plan to attend your CW class tonight.  The
tapes you gave me go in a different order than your class, so I know a
few letters you haven't taught yet.  I've been pretty busy lately with
family affairs so I haven't devoted as much time as I should have to
practice.  Hope to see you tonight,

-Travers KB3HNO

Keep in mind Keith I believe York, PA is under the jurisdiction of Mt.
Holly NJ which is a different NWS office then LWX in Sterling, VA. Which
means they will have different procedures and reporting information. I
tried to get a Skywarn class going for Carroll, Frederick, Washington
and Loudon counties but there was not much interest or at least nobody
got back to me to say they wanted to have one. Also if anyone is
interested the quarterly Skywarn Advisory meeting will be on Sunday
March 3 at 2pm at the NWS office in Sterling, VA. It is a great way to
learn the technical nuts and bolts of how Skywarn nets are activated and
how they are worked. I plan on being there. If you ever want to be an
NCS for a Skywarn activation I highly recommend it.

Message-ID: <20020220.223657.-1015549.1.blackbarton@juno.com>

Greetings, All,
Well, in response to all the queries, Let's have a FOXHUNT!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing real fancy, just the basic Hide and seek.
Saturday Morning, February 22nd, about 9:00 AM.
Bring whatever gear you have, and I suggest we rendezvoux on the .410
repeater.
As there is lots of accessable high ground to the south and west of town,
I think that would be a good starting area.
I'll welcome any suggestions as well. 
Bring:
Radios (2M)
Antennas (Beams are excellent, but not really required)
Any attenuators or other useful devices
MAP would be almost necessary, 
and a compass might also help
Pencil,
Straight edge (ruler)
Binoculars can be quite useful too....
Nobody is required to have anything other than a radio, but the other
stuff is very helpful.
Since I do not know how many folks have RDF equipment of any type, I
expect to divide into groups, and let everyone have a chance to see how
it works.
I have a handheld Doppler, and can loan it out, Also, scanners that cover
the 2M band are useful too....

Again, this is not anything fancy or High-Tech, just a first time run to
have some fun, and learn some very basic technique.

If you can, drop me a line to let me know if you plan to participate,
blackbarton@juno.com

If you arent sure, just call on the repeater when you can join in.
'73,
Bart

Dear CCARC Contesters and observers;

I am pleased to announce that a group of us are going
to operate the 160 meter contest (Phone!) from our
club station this Friday night...and perhaps Saturday
if there is enough interest.  

John, AK3Z has generously pledged his refurbished 1KW
amplifier and antenna tuner for this effort.  N3SB
will also be on tap with Heil headset, etc.

We will be using John's callsign - AK3Z.

This is a stateside AND DX contest - and with our
relatively "low" windom antenna (160 meters) we should
rule the states out into the mid-west, be easily able
to contact the west coast, and we might even work on
or two Europeans.  

Of course we'd like to see some fresh faces at the
club station to help us out!

73,

Jim Nitzberg  WX3B

To All,

Friday morning I gained access to the Sykesville tower site to install
the Remote Receiver.  Now all that is needed is to have the microwave
modems installed and interfaced at both this site and Gorsuch Road.  I
want to thank Joe N3YIM, Wayne N3UN, and Frank K3MTT for coming by to
help and provide support.  A big thanks to Frank for contributing two
PL-259 connectors (which I forgot to bring). Saved time in completing the
install.

Thanks to Buddy Redman and Mike Valentine for arranging access to the
building.  Now to get the modems and access to the Fiber Line to finish
this project.

 Dear CCARCers and contesters;
 
 I will be hosting a (very) limited operation in the
 ARRL DX SSB contest this Friday night/Saturday
 morning.
 
 John Hoge, W3JJH has graciously agreed to open up my
 station to guests at about 8:00pm - and we will be
 running a 5 position (high power) Multi-Transmitter,
 Multi-Operator contest station using my call sign
 WX3B.
 
 The focus of this effort is a bit different - I'd
 like
 to get people that haven't done much contesting to
 operate.  So far - I believe that Doug - KB3HAM (and
 Dad), as well as Travers, KB3HNO are going to be
 operators.  I'd like to have some other new faces
 added to that list!   
 
 In addition, William, KB3GHE will be making a guest
 appearance with his Dad, W3JJH.  Other guest
 operators
 might include NY3A, AK3Z and N3SB...and maybe even
 veteran contester and DXpeditioner David Collingham,
 K3LP.
 
 Please let me know if you would like to stop by and
 observe and/or operate...so I can plan the midnight
 snacks accordingly!  If you need directions, please
contact me via email or 410-374-9233.
 
 Hope to see some of you Friday night.
 
 73 & Good DX,
 
 Jim Nitzberg  WX3B

Dear CCARC Members;

I know this is hard to believe - but 2002 field day is
NOT that far away - it's the last week in June!

We just found out that we may have to pay a fee of up
to $100 [We've been promised we'll get a deal] to rent
the Gamber grounds that we've been hosted at for the
past few years.  

This has generated an opportunity to bring up an
interesting question:

Where would you, our field day participants like to
see our club operate from?  

Gamber has always been comfortable, reliable, and very
well equipped - and CLOSE to us.  

I have heard from several others that there may be
interest in relocating our site...

Please let me and other CCARCers know what you
think...and be prepared to assist your field day
choice by HELPING us set up, tear down and operate!

73,

Jim Nitzberg  WX3B

Howdy, Folks, 
A little more notice this time. Next Saturday, March 2nd, at about 9:00
AM. I'll start another foxhunt.
Congrats to Travers, he did a fine job on his very first hunt.
We discovered that the area around the FTC is very poor for taking
bearings, usually 30 or 40 degrees of variation.
If anyone would like schematics for the ultra simple handheld TDOA, let
me know, I'll send them. If you would like to have one, but aren't
inclined to build it yourself, let me know, I'll put some together...
All intersted parties please drop me a line,

To all:

I've have had a devil of a time trying to get hold of IRC's.  The Sykesville
Post Office informed me that the USPS is issuing new versions of the IRC at
$1.75 each.  While they have ordered them for me, it's been three weeks and
still no show.  Has anyone else had problems securing IRC's recently?

Sorry, Jim, that I was a no-show for the 160m contest at the club station
last Friday night.  I got tied up with a small family disaster du jour.  I
hope that you all had a great time and made a bazillion contacts.

Hi Al;

Hopefully a couple of our Post Office knowlegeable
people will answer this question.  I didn't have any
luck redeeming IRCs at the Timonium post office.

The 160 contest was fun - there were several
participants:  NY3A, N3SB, AK3Z, WX3B, W3JJH and
N3GQK.

We borrowed AK3Z's 756 Pro, his TL-922 Amp, his
antenna tuner, his heil boomset, and made a pretty
good contest station out of the club - good for
several hundred QSOs in a very part time (i.e. rag
chew) effort.  The highlight was being called Saturday
by an EA station.

IRCs and redeeming them are not a problem 
at the Westminster PO on Woodward Dr/Rd just 
behind Wal-Mart.

I recently bought the new $1.75 IRCs there. Don't ususally 
use them but worked some DX that only accepted IRCs.
If you have any of the old ones, use them becuz they will 
no longer be accepted. Grren stamps look like a bargain now!!

Also, I redeemed about 20 IRCs at the Westminster PO.  They 
will accept them as long as the do not originate in the US.

Dear CCARC Members;
    I'm surprised that most of the replies to Jim's Email are appalled
with Gamber asking for a usage fee.  We pay considerably more for the
Mini/Tailgate Fest at Reese VFD.  I would be in favor of combining Field
Day, the Tailgate fest and possibly the Hamfest at this facility if we
can get consideration for multiple events.  Just Field Day and the
Tailgate fest alone would save the club money.  If we can lock Gamber
into a multi-year contract, we may be able to defer an upward price
"creep".  I understand that State Hamfest at Timonium is looking for
volunteers to help and will "pay" for services rendered.  A group
participating from CCARC would offset the above expenses and most members
attend this Hamfest anyway..........

In keeping with the firehouse tradition, I would suggest as possibilities The
Sykesville Firehouse, Windfield Firehouse. Both have large grounds. Also Mayeski
Park, is a large park behind Windfield. The last time I looked it had one nice
pavilion. I would think Mayeski Park would come under Carroll County Parks and
recreation.

I have included some contact infor I have dug up.

Subject: [K3PZN-List] CW Practice on 145.410:  Students:  What's your Choice???
Message-ID: <20020227212237.34456.qmail@web12307.mail.yahoo.com>

Dear CCARC CW Students:

I am going to start a once per week CW class via our
repeater on 145.410.  The goal is for an informal
group to get together and study code for 30 - 60
minutes once per week...and this class is targeted at
people studying to pass their 5 words per minute test.

The time will be 9:00pm at night, and your choices for
evenings are Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.  I will
likely rotate evenings to accomodate my schedule - but
I'd like to set up a "default" night.

Which one works best for CW Students?

73,

Jim Nitzberg  WX3B
