NEXT FLIGHT

NASA Wallops Flight Facility, Virginia -- October 1

WHAT DO WE DO NOW?  As successful as our flight
yesterday was, we are going to try to match or
outdo ourselves -- within 24 hours!

The winner of SimSat-1A were students and new folks
who tried to copy telemetry *AND* the contributors
of the High-Altitude Balloon Experimenters Net as
led by WA3NAN, the Goddard Amateur Radio Club
station, and in particular, member Hugh O'Donnell,
W3FUO.  The net concurrent with the mission was
worth a million bucks!

To see the first photos, go to the web site
http://www.patkilroy.com/simsat/ and click the
highlighted link under "Schedule".

We will try it AGAIN at 3 p.m. EDT.  The flight
designation will be SimSat-1B.

We hope to also see you on the 7204 kHz net
during mission.  I'm not sure if WA3NAN will be
able to handle NCS duties again, but if not, I
trust someone will rise to the occasion and help
coordinate activities.

The IDC telemetry segment will recognize yet
another worthy group dear to the SimSat "family".
If you don't have much time to participate then
you are welcome to at least tune in 147.45 MHz
between 3:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. EDT where ever you
may be at the time.  Signals might again be
heard easily with a hand held transceiver and
its little rubber duck antenna.

Good luck and strong signals!

Cheers,

Message-ID: <20041001.062528.3601.1142109@webmail03.lax.untd.com>


to: Bob, KD3JK, and All,

The ARRL is pushing the ARRL Bandwidth Petition, which they plan
to submit to the FCC soon, as some of you may know.  This
Petition is primarily aimed at gaining more Bandwidth on the
Amateur frequencies for Digital and other modes, including Pactor
for WinLink 2000. The Petition came about, per the recommendation
of a Working Group Chaired by the person who wrote WinLink 2000,
and consisted solely of those having an interest in wide
bandwidth Digital modes, including Pactor.  By the way, the only
TNC available for Pactor III (Over $1,000.00 US Dollars) is only
available from our friends, the Germans, from a company called
SCS.  The ARRL is insisting this should be used for WinLink 2000
on the HF bands.

Here is a summary of what the proposed Petition does:

 1. All of the SSB phone bands, and all of 160 meters, can be
covered with unattended Pactor robot stations that do not share
frequencies, cannot and do not listen first for a clear
frequency, do not respond to a request to QSY, and do little but
use the ham bands as email radio links to the Internet for the
benefit of less than 1% of the FCC-licensed hams.

2. Autoforwarding will be illegal, signaling the immediate death
of HF Packet networks.

3. PSK31 operations will be forced down into the CW activity
regions to escape interference from unattended Pactor robots,
effectively shrinking the CW bands.  This will also affect QRP CW
operation.

4. More space will be allocated for the relatively few people who
use wide digital modes than for the huge majority of people using
SSB phone.

If you agree to have these things happen, and become part of the
Part 97 FCC regulations that tell you where and how you are
allowed to operate, then you do not need to do anything.

However, if you DO NOT agree to these major changes and
restrictions on how you use ham radio, then send an email to your
own ARRL Division Director (Bernie Fuller, N3EFN, n3efn@arrl.org
) and also to bandwidth@arrl.org, insisting that the proposed
ARRL petition to segment by bandwidth be withdrawn and a new one
offered that respresents all amateur radio interests, instead of
those of a special interest group.

You have a right to insist that ARRL present you with a proposed
petition that you can understand, so you know what you are being
asked to support. If you do not understand everything that the
proposed petition does, insist that the proposed petition be
withdrawn and replaced with something you CAN understand.

This is YOUR hobby - act now keep it from being taken away from
you!

(Most of the above summary came from the co-author of Digipan
PSK-31 software Howard "Skip" Teller, KH6TY, ARRL Ad Hoc
Hfdigital Committee Member, who issued the dissenting view)

You may go to this URL to learn more:

http://www.zerobeat.net/bandplan-dissent.html

Also:

http://www.scs-ptc.com/news.html

WinLink 2000 may be useful in some emergency situations, along
with Pactor, but the Pactor stations should be placed in a
restricted portion of the bands, where they won't interfere with
other Amateur communications.  This ARRL Bandwidth Petition is
not the proper way to resolve these problems.

I have contacted Bernie and those at the ARRL, including Mr.
Haynie, W5JBP, and stated my views.  I hope you will do the same.

Thanks for bearing with me.

Neal,

Hi!

Great, but not without a few bumps and bruises. 

We achieved ...

New record altitude on SimSat-1B (112,900+ feet 
AMSL with NASA C-band radar data to prove it, 
but unseen by the FAA-type radar) with a new 
record time-aloft duration (MET over 10,000 
seconds) with video of balloon burst via NASA 
long range cameras, and more.  

Our VHF telemetry failed early in the flight.  
We have many clues to continue piecing the 
puzzle to help improve for future ops.  

A CricketSat on UHF with standard 9V alkaline 
battery producing under 20 mW RF measured into 
the stock inverted-V external antenna was flown 
literally as a last minute "hitchhiker".  It 
operated all the way through splashdown.  If you 
could have heard our concurrent regional HF net, 
one opined that the lil guy saved the day!  ;-) 

Had Venture Crew 173 (high school-aged scouts) 
in Westminster, Md. as a remote ground station 
participating, paving way for future schools 
and groups.  

Go to http://www.patkilroy.com/simsat/ and check 
the new bulletin.  I will try to get a few more 
photos up later this weekend.  

School assembly and club meeting materials will 
follow.  Am trying to influence a *national* 
high-altitude balloon experimenter's symposium 
to happen with Chris Koehler.  

Next flight, SimSat-2, is likely in three weeks 
or so.  

Gotta run.  Trying to break camp.  Thanks!  

-Pat


P.S. Hope to see you and others at the 
AMSAT meeting this month in the D.C. area.

Hi all,

	I have a package deal that I want to offer to members of the
CCARC. I'm selling my FT-847 with the FC-20 automatic tuner and a MD-1
desk mike. I'm asking $1100 for the package. The rig is an all mode (CW,
SSB, FM, & AM) from 160 thru 70cm (440Mhz). 100w on HF & 6m and 50w on 2m
& 70cm. I have also worked satellites and some digital.

My of you have used the rig during field day or other club events but if
anyone has any questions they can call me any evening after 5pm.

Greetings Everyone,

I just wanted to remind y'all that the ARRL Emergency Communications Course 
I is now accepting students for the class that begins later this month.  If 
you are serious about ARES/RACES operation, I highly reccomend this 
training. In fact, it might become a requirement for MCC van operators.  
Right now it is FREE upon successful completion.  The $45 cost is refunded 
once you pass.  You will need to pay $10 for the text book, however.

I have sucessfully taken all three ARRL EmComm courses and I'd be happy to 
respond to any  concerns you might have via e-mail.  But please, register 
now!  Spaces are limited. (I sound like a commercial.)  Registration will 
probably close within the next couple of days.

Although this is for IL, I'm sure it will catch on ALL over.

Be on guard at all times.



Please pass this along to others and beware.

CAR JACKERS NEW SCHEME

Be aware of new car-jacking scheme



Imagine: You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside.
Then you lock all your doors, Start the engine and shift into REVERSE, and
you look into the rearview mirror to back out of your parking space and you
notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window.  So, you
shift into PARK, unlock your doors and jump out of your car to remove that
paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view...  When you reach
the back of your car, that is when the car-jackers appear out of nowhere,
jump into your car and take off !!

Your engine was running, (ladies would have their purse in the car) and they
practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.  BE AWARE OF THIS
NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.  Just drive away and remove the paper
that is stuck to your window later,! and be thankful that you read this
email. I hope you will forward this to friends and family...especially to
women!

A purse contains all identification, and you certainly do NOT want someone
getting your home address. They already HAVE your keys!

Jim K4CGY,

Try again to register.  I found myself in the same boat last month.
Registration for the ECC-001 course opens at 12:01AM on the FIRST Monday of
the month.  I logged on this past Monday at that time and was able to
register for the class starting on 10/22.  The classes fill up fast.  The
ARRL website has a class registration schedule posted.

Good luck

Thanks Scott
I usually check these things out but it looked so plausible    ....
actually that scheme and others like it could easily be used to lure someone
out of a car. Even though this appears to be an urban legend, I think it
would serve well if folks would consider this a "parable" and heed its
advice. Be careful, if things don't look or feel right or if your in a dark
place, just drive away from the area.  And don't forget the copy cats ...
some jerk may think this is a neat way to hijack a car and decide to imitate
it.

Subject: [K3PZN-List] FRS/GMRS RADIOS
Message-ID: <BAY22-F96wGIa1PHrxN00010c2f@hotmail.com>

Greetings Everyone,

This evening I stumbled on a great close-out deal on FRS/GMRS radios for 
those of you who might be interested.

The Wal-Mart store in Hampstead has the Audiovox GMRS 7001-2 radios (with a 
range of up to seven miles) and built in NOAA WX receiver with WX Alert for 
only $15 per pair!  That's right $15 per pair!  In GMRS mode, these radios 
even use the same 38 CTCSS or P.L. tones that we hams regularly use.  (I do 
not know if the same deal is available at other locations.)

Personally, I picked up two sets of them (4 radios) myself.  If each of us 
bought a pair or two, we would have yet another communications option 
available to us.

The only caveat is that a FCC GMRS Radio License IS required for GMRS use on 
the upper 8 frequencies.  However, it is NOT required for use on the lower 
14 FRS frequencies.

Maybe we should pick up two for or three pairs the MCC ......  or even as 
givaways for the tailgate fest, Ham Fest, or at the Holiday party.  Or how 
about a 'special raffle' fundraiser for the MCC....The possibilities are 
endless!

Your thoughts, comments, feedback, complaints, etc. are most welcome.

Kindest regards,

Keith Krichinsky - W3MDC

REMEMBER:  THE ARC WAS BUILT BY AMATEURS.  THE TITANIC WAS BUILT BY 
PROFESSIONALS!

HI Keith,
   That is a good buy and maybe I'll look into it.
However be careful, the manufactures don't tell you
the full story on the FRS/GMRS radio's. They do need a
license even if you operate on the 14 FRS channels,
BECAUSE they don't reduce the transmitter power on
these channels. Anything over .5 watts requires the
license and most of these are 2 watts. I'm having a
problem here at work as the boss bought a couple of
Motorola's for us to use and didn't know about the
license requirement. The communications department
here said to go ahead and used them that no one will
complain since we are a government agency. I refuse to
use them without a license and there is no longer a
business license issued only a private. Maybe I'll
just go on and pay $75.00 and get my license and be
over it. If the others want to take a chance they
don't have any other license's to lose, I do.

reading,  staying up late, watching old movies (that are on when I stay up

**** About 30 ft or so.  I have two verticals, one for HF and the other for
VHF/UHF.  I lost my Windom to a storm this past summer.  I have not put it
back up because I plan to install a 50 ft tower with a Tri-band Yagi for HF,
inverted Vees or a Windom for 160m, 80m & 40m, and a small Yagi for 6m.  It
probably will not be done until next spring or summer.

>> ***  I'm always looking for the learning experiences in Ham radio.  I
like to contest - usually as part of a team of operators at a multi-multi
station.  I'm an avid IOTA island hunter.  My Elmer was Karl Booker W3OEJ
(SK).

I sincerely hope that this helps you with your project.  Best of luck with
it.

Sorry all.  I was supposed to send my survey answers directly to Becky via
Curt's e-mail, but I got so wrapped up in answering the questions, I forgot
to open a new message and cut & paste.  So you get to read my boring
answers.  Although, it may be a lucky happenstance.  Maybe it will prod yuz
guys to help out a young Ham with a school project.  God knows that us old
buffaloes in the hobby are way beyond help!

Bye the way, Miss Becky, are you going to share your report with us when
you're done?  How 'bout at a club meeting?  Or, at least send it to N3YIM to
put in the NewsWaves.  I'm sure that I speak for the club when I say that we
would be most interested.

Good Evening All,
 
     I just wanted to update the group that my TELPAC node has been moved to
145.750 Mhz. The callsign for the TELPAC node is N5LBJ-10. The baud rate for
the connection is 1200 Baud AX.25. I hope to have 9600 Baud up on 440 in the
near future. If anyone has been successful with moding their TW-4000A for
9600 Baud please let me know. I have performed the 9600 baud mod listed on
the various mods boards and still having problems.

I can invite up to 6 of you to join g-mail.  Googlemail (Gmail) gives
you 1 Gigabyte, yes 1000 Megs, of storage.  Their computer scans your
e-mail messages looking for key words and or phrases.  It then sends
you small ads on the right side of the screen from links based on
those key words or phrases it finds.  So the ads are actually targeted
to what might be of interest to you.  There are NO banner ads.

I've had it for a bout 2 weeks.  And I like it.

If you would like to join, please send a message to w3mdc@arrl.net.

Greetings Doug,

Going through my archive material, I have notice that T-MARC has set
aside some 440 Mhz frequencies for high speed networking.  The
frequencies are:

433.400/ 443.425/ 443.450/ 443.475 MHz.  

I am not aware of anyone else on these frequencies.  One of these may be
a good place to park.

I have been asked by a couple of members to start up the monthly bull
sessions again.  I think that we were doing them on the last Monday night of
the month from 7:00pm to about 8:30pm.  If there is sufficient interest,
we'll start them up again.  Please let me know via e-mail at
k3ze@verizon.net if you are interested.  Two topics that have been suggested
are soldering and PSK31.

We were visited by a prospective new Ham and club member, Matt (sorry, I
didn't get his last name).  He is studying for his Tech ticket and needs
some assistance.  Matt is 20 yrs. old, has reddish hair cut in a crew cut,
wears glasses and is about 5'10" tall.  Really nice kid. Very mannerly and
very enthusiatic.

John W3JJH has graciously offerred to loan him a radio once he gets his
ticket.  I have offerred my help him with his studies.  I told him that
whenever he was ready to take the test, we would make arrangements.

While it is always an honor to Elmer a new Ham, especially a young guy like
Matt, I would rather see this as a group effort.  If it's the village that
raises the child, then it's club that raises the new Ham.  Let's take this
kid under our collective wings and get him all the way up to Amateur

It is with great sadness that I report the passing of Chuck Reville K3FT.

Chuck was found dead at his home by family members Monday evening.

Chuck was an avid ham radio operator and helped our club last year with
filing our special event logs for the MDDC QSO Party. He was also there for
the many public service events that we help out with and was NCS for all the
ADA Bikeathons.

Chuck will be greatly missed.

I just received a call from Chuck's brother in law, who is also a ham.

PVRCer Chuck K3FT passed away unexpectedly.  The family had not heard from
him for several days and found him SK at home last night.

Chuck had been an operator at many PVRC stations, inclucing N3OC, WR3L,
W3PP and W3LPL.  Chuck was also king of the MD QSO party winning it for
the last two years from my station, and instrumental in forming the new
Mid-Atlantic QSO party.  His last contest was the September VHF contest,
which he and I operated together.

His family will be letting me know about funeral arrangements and I will
pass them along as soon as I know something.

We will again be participating in the annual ARRL November Sweepstakes
(Phone) this year at the club station.  The date is Saturday, November 21.
K3PZN will open up at noon for operations and all members, guests, or other
interested parties are welcome to attend.  This is always a fun event and we
have alot of laughs doing it.  We took the "Sweep" in 2002 and came close
last year.  Let's see if we can do it again.

I intend to hit the club up for a few bucks to order in pizza around 6:00pm
and I will try to make a pot of crab soup.  Donations of soft drinks and ice
would be appreciated.  I'll ask for a ballpark headcount as we get closer to
the event, so mark your calendars and come on out for a few hours of laid
back contesting, laughs, and good fellowship with your Ham buds.

Rumor has it that some of THE BIG GUNS of the CCRAC contesting set will be
racking up Q's for dear old K3PZN...

Steve N3SB  aka "The Other Contest Nazi" (filling in for the Real Contest
Nazi, WX3B)
Joe N3YIM aka "Whawazzatcallagain?"
Shirley KB3KYJ & Bill WM3N aka "The Bonnie & Clyde of Contesting"
"Six Meter Mike" N3VOP
N3MNM aka "Mikes n' Megawatts"
and the other usual suspects...

I'm sorry I won't be in town to join in on the
fun...BUT...

You should definitely listen for WX3B/6 during the
weekend, from San Francisco, CA.  

I'm probably going to bring my 706 and mobile
antennas...

Subject: [K3PZN-List] Toll Free Numbers
Message-ID: <20041013.221729.552.2.wx3f@juno.com>

The following information was sent to me by Mike Carr WA1QAA the MDC
Section Emergency Coordinator.   It is a neat way to get  information
when you don't have a telephone book handy.  Give it a try.

73,
Larry WX3F
EC/RO Carroll County
------------------------------------------------------
Toll Free Numbers From Your Home Phone Number


 Establishing and maintaining your ARES/RACES roster and call up tree can
be a real challenge at times, especially if one of your goals is to
generate a call up tree in which you minimize or eliminate incurring toll
charges for your members calling the next on the list..
 
 In addition to being useful to ARES/RACES members, the information you
gather in the procedure outlined below is quite helpful for delivering
NTS messages in your jurisdiction.

 To obtain a list of area codes and three digit prefixes which are toll
free from your home phone number, follow the steps below.  You may be
quite surprised at how many new prefixes have been added in the past few
years! 

 Please urge your members to apply the following process for their own
home phone numbers as well.


1. Using your Web Browser, go to the following web page: 
http://www22.verizon.com/CallingAreas/LocalCallFinder/LocalCAllFinderSAS.
htm?lob=R;

2. Enter the Area Code and three digit prefix of your home phone number;

3. Check 'Find out what calls are covered by your calling plan?'

4. Click 'Continue>>'

5. Check your calling plan

6. Click 'Go'

7. If you are in doubt about which prefixes your team members can dial
toll free, repeat steps 2 through 6, above, for each unique area code and
prefix on your roster.

8. If you are in a jurisdiction which borders on another Section, you
might check to be sure the information returned from your query includes
area codes and prefixes in the other Section which are toll free for you.


 When you and your members have completed the above process, you will be
a step up on the ladder toward NTS operations.  Join us on our Section?s
NTS nets.  They meet daily, 365 days a year, as indicated below:

   Net  Time  Frequency
   MEPN  1800L  3920kHz
   BTN  1830L  146.670
   MDD  1900L  3643kHz
   MSN  1930L  3717kHz
   MDD  2200L  3643kHz

If you've been waiting for the Federales to act on the proposals to change
Part 97, don't hold your breath.  According to the ARRL news article "No
News is... No News" on their website www.arrl.org, a NPRM is unlikely to
come up until sometime in 2006.

Looks like it's gonna be awhile before the FCC waves the magic wand and
makes Tech class licensees instant Generals.  Of course, you could always do
it the hard way and take the exam to earn the license...

Subject: [K3PZN-List] BPL
Message-ID: <000501c4b7b6$53d67130$0478fea9@DJT3PQ51>

There are two interesting articles on BPL on the ARRL website: www.arrl.org

One has to do with the FCC's refusal to follow its own R&R's and shutdown a
system in Arizona.  The last time that the FCC broke its own rules, the
Justice Department stepped in and the result was the breakup of AT&T and the
telcom industry in the USA being run by a single Federal Judge.

The other article is about the shutdown of the system in Menlo Park, CA.
This was the very same system that "
Smilin'" Mike Powell visited and tought was so great.

I suspect that the whole BPL issue will wind up in Federal Court and the
Justice Department have to slap the FCC's wrist.

History repeats itself...

New Hams and/or Other Interested Parties:

The Last Monday of the Month Bull Sessions will start up again on November
29th at the club station at 7:00pm.  Because of the number of requests,
we'll have a demo on soldering and give you the opportunity to do some
actual soldering of PL-259 connectors onto coax and components onto circuit
boards.

If you plan to attend and participate, you will need to bring two (2) PL-259
connectors and two (2) RG-8X adpaters for same.  These components should be
readily available at the Mason-Dixon Hamfest on October 31st.  I will supply
the coax, circuit boards, and electronic components.  If you have a
soldering iron, bring it with you.  As always, bring your coffee or other
soft drinks and snacks.  These sessions are very laid back and informal.

If you plan to attend, please drop me an e-mail so that I can get a
headcount.  Also, let me know what you would like to cover in future
sessions.  That way I can line up guests lecturers if need be to cover the
subject matter.

Dear CCARC DXers and contesters;

I did some SWLing on 10 meters at 9:00am local time -
the band sounds like it did at the peak of the sunspot
cycle - really loud signals from Europe, Africa and
South America/Carribean this morning.

Reports of short but good JA openings have been coming
in for the afternoons.

This weekend is the CQWW DX contest and it looks like
we may have some really good high band conditions!

Greetings Friends;

The club's biggest fundraising event is coming up this weekend -- the
Mason-Dixon Hamfest. The success of our hamfest is CRITICAL in order for the
club to be able to financially support all it's projects such as: Field Day,
Repeaters, and Station improvements, as well as the license fess and insurance
the club pays for to protect us all. The suceess of our hamfest requires all
it's members to help out.

We've had successful hamfests for the past 14 years, and we should be
successful
this year as well. Often times though, it's required some heroic efforts from
folks like Tom KB3EMN, who willingly spends almost six hours standing on Smith
Avenue directing cars, or from his son Joe KB3DSR who has spent just as much
time selling tickets at the main gate. I don't think it's fair to expect these
gentlemen to extend themselves so far when there are other members who could
help out.

I put together a hamfest volunteer sign-up sheet, dividing all the major tasks
into time slots, which was circulated at the last club meeting. It's about half
full. We still need lots of help, most urgently with ticket sales, and with
teardown and clean-up. 

If you didn't sign up to help out with the hamfest, please contact me to get on
the list.

Also -- while I have your attention -- think positive thoughts about having
clear, sunny weather this Sunday!

I'll be there most of the day as always.

I'll be there. haven't missed one yet. And as always, I made a deal with the
man upstairs and the weatherman. But next year it is someone elses turn. I
can't be fasting from DX contacts for a whole year  ... just too much for

Artificial ionosphere .... maybe i don't "need" a
bigger antenna farm ... 

What's this expensive rig stuff?  I know DX can be
worked with a $25 rig (5 ICs and 1 garden variety
transistor and only three cheap xtals) ... 300 mW to
C6, ES, G, OK even T9 .... but i confess i generally
use a more expensive rig myself.  the economic
principle of "diminishing returns" kicks in at some
point but as an engineer i can appreciate the higher
end rigs with lots of dBs and DSP.  have fun and try
something new!

Steve,

I volunteer to rent one indoor table space (for the display of "good ham
treasures")...please relay my request to the tablemeister.  When all the
treasures are gone, I will be able to help in other ways.

I will also have some stuff for the club table.  One club table item is a
19" rack (on casters).

73, Tony KF3AK

Greetings Tony;

OK -- Here's my deal for you. If you want to display your treasures next to
the treasures being displayed on the club table, and be available to
occasionally keep an eye on the club table (there are others signed up to
do so) then you can have a table for free. How's that deal??

Hi Steve,

Sorry I was not on the list.  Please count me in.

Sounds like a good "fun-raising" thing to do on the
morn of Halloween!

I can do whichever would be better for the club, either
set up and staff a bona fide AMSAT table or perform a
number of club tasks.  I will be available all morning
as well as a wee bit the night before.

If the club prefers the AMSAT presence then let me
know as soon as you can because I must order the goods
from headquarters and go pick them up.  Otherwise I'll
call you to sign up for specific tasks on the list.

Thanks (or BOOO),

Pat

Greetings Clint;

Thanks for helping out!

The VE Testing will be in the Block Building past the bathrooms, on the
East side of the complex. We were not able to get the classooms
traditionally used for VE testing. The Block Building will actually give
the VE Team more room. I believe there's a divider screen that can be
pulled across the room if that would help to keep things quiet. Tables and
chairs will be set up and ready.

I hope everyone gets a chance to operate some in the CQWW Phone contest
from the hamfest. A suggested strategy for Saturday evening is to go about
5 KHz up from WX3B and start calling CQ. Maybe I can get ahold of a voice
keyer that has Jim's voice calling CQ recorded on it (Most voice keyers in
the county do). Imagine the fun we could have with that.....

Greetings Pat;

AMSAT is a welcome guest at the Mason-Dixon Hamfest, same as FAR, the ARRL,
and other Non-Profits like us that are actively promoting Amateur Radio.

Please plan on setting up an AMSAT booth. We'll save you two tables as
usual (unless you'd like more this year -- then let me know)

Hi Steve,

Sorry I was not on the list.  Please count me in.

Sounds like a good "fun-raising" thing to do on the
morn of Halloween!

I can do whichever would be better for the club, either
set up and staff a bona fide AMSAT table or perform a
number of club tasks.  I will be available all morning
as well as a wee bit the night before.

If the club prefers the AMSAT presence then let me
know as soon as you can because I must order the goods
from headquarters and go pick them up.  Otherwise I'll
call you to sign up for specific tasks on the list.

Thanks (or BOOO),

Pat
N8PK

Hey, Clint,

If you're going to call a race, you better known who the horses are and the
nature of the breed.  Some old horses just like to lay back and graze and
enjoy the company of the herd and try not to shit on the other horses' turf.
They only pull the milk wagon once in a while for a short distance because
that's all that they have left in them.  Then, they just like to stand
around and be thankful that they ain't a fire horse or a race horse because
if you run fast, they'll expect you to run faster in the next race or if
they get to close to the fire, they'll get your tail singhed.  Them old
horses don't even see carrots dangled in front of their noses and could care
less who gets the little lump of sugar or another horse getting an apple and
they don't because they just like being one of the herd.  Neither do said
old horses want to be the alpha stallion.  And when it comes that time of
the year when the herd gathers around the trough for their big annual
Christmas feed, you can easily spot these old horses because they don't even
bother to cross the pasture simply because they don't care for the brand of
oats being served.  Old horses can only hope that when it comes their turn
to be sent off to the glue factory, that they made things just a little bit
better for the rest of the herd and didn't leave any road apples for the
other horses to step in.

I don't know, sounds like an interesting challenge.  Teresa's multi-operator
station upgrade has been keeping me occupied lately and has kept the station
of the air for quite a while now.  I won't be able to make it out much this
weekend, but I am going to try to get on the air for a while to test the
station before sweepstakes and make sure the new antennas are working.  You
guys go 5 up and I will go 5 down.  I am sure one of the buttons on my keyer
is already programmed with Jim's voice.

Dear CCARC Contesters;


I'm sure by Saturday night I will have Extra voice
keyers and one EXTRA KW amplifier for the Club's CQWW
Effort.   

I will be glad to drop by the hamfest contest station
and supply some equipment. 

 

For those of you that plan to attend Friday Night's
party at WX3B:  PLEASE DROP ME A NOTE so I know how
much Pizza and Soda to order.

CQWW DX Party starts at 6:00pm at my home in
Manchester, MD. 

We will be running most or all of the
night...AND...Saturday until at least mid-day, or
longer if there is enough interest.  

Bacon and Eggs, OJ and Coffee is being planned for
Breakfast Saturday...for the die-hards.

WX3B is set up and ready to run 6 operating positions
- 10 through 160.  At 7:00pm Friday night, when the
contest starts, I need operators for each band -
because they are ALL likely to be open to somewhere.

Hope to see a good group of you Friday night....and
Saturday.  This is going to be a great weekend!


73,

Jim    WX3B

The FCC R&O for BPL has been issued.  Gee, it only took two weeks!  Do you
think that they're trying to push this thing or what.  The news is both good
and not so good for Amateur Radio.  Visit the ARRL website at www.arrl.org
for more details.

BPL isn't the only technology in development targeted at providing broadband
to the masses.  If any or some of the technolgies prove to be cheaper and
faster to provision, widespread BPL could be dead within a few years...

CCARC MEMBERS:

During setup today for our annual Mason-Dixon Hamfest, I overheard the
comment "we may be shorthanded tomorrow."  I find this very hard to believe
with a club that has over one hundred members.  Unfortunately, we average
only 30% participation at meetings and about 20% at club activities.
Sometimes, I just can't fathom why members pay dues and then don't take
advantage of what the club has to offer or pitch in when the club needs
help.

Tomorrow, Sunday October 31, is your BIG CHANCE to help out YOUR club.  Take
a couple of hours to come out and help and get in FREE or come out and buy a
ticket and participate.  OR do both and have an opportunity to win one of
two of the best door prizes offerred at any hamfest!

You're only going to get something out of the club if you're willing to put
something into it.

I for one thought the hamfest went well.  The weather could not have been 
much better and there was plenty of help inside for the tables and chairs, 
set ups, etc.  The indoor vendors seemed to be pleased with their spaces.  
The only down side that I saw was quality and price of the food service.  I 
think we could do better.

Dear CCARC Diners;

I had the food company's egg sandwich this morning -
and I rate it an A+.  Served hot, fresh, with TWO
eggs, fresh sausage, for a couple dollars.  

Also had their Crab soup - it was very good.

Would be curious to hear more opinions about lunch
(burgers, hot dogs, etc.).  

The food vendor was pleased with his turnout at the
event.

73,

Jim  WX3B
