Dear Members,

Please send me an email at jvc749@adelphia.net or leave me a message at
410-386-0198 if you would like to be a member of the station committee for
the coming year.? I am putting a list of members together and plan to call a
meeting before the end of April.? It would be a great way for you to help
out the club and have an active role in shaping the evolution of our
equipment and capabilities.? It is also a great way to meet other folks in
the club and try out your skills if you have not been a member of the
committee in the past.? We will be concerned with antenna and tower
maintenance, station equipment, organizing the shack, and making decisions
for equipment and accessory purchases.? We will also discuss educating the
club on how to use the equipment we have and how we can most effectively
prepare the station and members for use during emergencies.? It should be a
lot of fun.

I look forward to a productive and active year.

John, AK3Z

Field Day is coming!  How do we want to do it this year?

Where?  The Springfield Hospital grounds have been offered as a possible site. 
Does anyone have a suggestion for another location?

19A again?  

There's a suggestion that we run an all QRP, battery-powered site in order to
get the 5X multiplier.  How many of you would like to try a QRP field day?

There's another suggestion to run two nearby sites.  One would be QRP/battery,
and the other would be 150W/generator.  One site would use K3PZN, and the other
would use another call sign.  Is anyone interested in that?

There's a suggestion to revive the 6pm Saturday pot luck.  The club could
provide burgers, hot dogs, and drinks.  Do we want to do that?

We need station captains.  So far, I have only one volunteer (for an HF digital
rig).  Unless we're want to be a 1A, we need some more folks to step forward. 
Slots are open for HF CW, HF phone, HF digital, VHF, satellite, GOTA, and

How about in the grassed islands surrounding the Wal-Mart parking lot 
in Westminster?  I lot of people could see the club operation at that location.

I agree we should have food again this year. Not
having it was not the same last time. I personally
think we would be better not going QRP in the past to
many of our contacts have happened by being able to
just blast everyone else with a powerful signal.
Unfortunately I cannot captain I do not have enough
time to do that, but I will be there and operating and
as always willing to help.

My wife setup the dual band J-pole last week.  It works well.  I can
easily reach both the Westminster and the Springfield repeaters on 2M.
I can reach the 450 repeater, but not as clearly.  

The problem is that on 2M, when I transmit, the printer hums and the hum
is modulated such that I can hear my voice intelligibly.  It sounds
something like when you speaking into a fan.  This happens regardless of
whether or not the printer is turned on.  I didn't think to unplug the
printer.  

While the hum is distracting, my real concern is about damaging the
printer.  

Has anyone heard of this type of problem?  Any ideas on how I can shield
my printer?

The Springfield site offers many advantages: 

- Easy access. It is close to main roads but not
on them.
- Large area with some trees,
- Easy access to food, supplies, doctors, etc.
- Area right at our 147.285  repeater site allows
easy outside communication with handie
with/without antenna/dummy load,
-gas stations across the street,
- easy access from all parts of the county. No
more than 30-35  minutes from anywhere, 15-20
minutes from Balto Beltway dependent on weekend
and/or time  of day.
_Emergency treatment available from paramedics
located across the highway , hospital personnel
onsite, ample room for Medieval helicopter to land
if required.
-location provides secluded operation but easy to
locate.
-Good site for publicity. This site was figured
prominently  in both last years And this years
disaster drill. The hospital administration  is
aware of  Ham Radio, our Operation there would
only serve  to enhance their trust in us. 
- Springfield is aware of what they need to do to
continue to be funded by the state. Serving the
community in other ways beside being an mental
health institution is necessary  for them to help
show the need for their continued presence in the
community. 
- Use of the campus for community activities will
help justify the retention of the facility and
grounds. It serves as a wildlife habitat and match
of the area is grass and has numerous tress and
other vegetation,
- Use of the grounds will help convince the state
that most of the closed buildings have historic
value and architectural value (wouldn't it be nice
to have one of those beautiful brick building as a
CCARC Clubhouse with multiple 100 foot towers',
-Using the public grounds there may get us
additional publicity ,
-Interference from us and to us should be
non-existent.
-It is a safe location. Springfield has their own
Police department that covers the campus on a
regular basis.

*** large operation , 19a - I would prefer a
smaller coordinated effort that keeps the stations
operation as much as possible. The argument that
with more stations, more new people can operate. I
DISAGREE. NEWBEES need to learn to operate and
what better way than logging for an experienced
operator. Newbie operators without experience are
sloppy and break rules  vat best and without
listening and learning don't improve. In many
clubs today and most in the past,  you had to earn
your way into the drivers seat at the opening
bell.   

QRP is an admiral way to go. Again, your operators
need more experience and antennas need to be tried
and proven long before FD.  QRP using dipoles of
verticals 10 foot about the ground will not
compete against the other stations. Making
contacts is fun; not making contacts is no fun.
Yagies up 30 or 40 feet at a minimum are
necessary.

The hi power vs. QRP could work if the number of
stations were kept to 3 plus the specials per
group and you get sufficient operators for each.

I personally  started the field day dinner the
first time I chaired the event as a way of getting
families out to see what we do and reduce the
gripes of the XYLs that we were gone all weekend
probably having some sort of drunkin'  party. I
think that FD operation should be at the
competitive level when your operating and fun and
relaxation the times you are not. The family
dinner also helps expose the young people to the
hobby in another light (outdoor as opposed to a
musty old place in the cellar). I VOTE FOR THE
DINNER!

I agree with Frank that fewer stations are better.

 

I like the idea of QRP/Battery.

 

I am in favor of working with the Carroll County Contesters to have a
coordinated FD.  (Assuming that they are interested.)  They could take
on the role of handling the 'super' stations, and we can focus on having
a few QRP stations.

 

I tend to favor a high place in Westminster, such as Winter's Mill HS.

 

Clearly the club favors having the dinner with the FD instead of
seperate events.  Although the few of us that showed up to the picnic
last year did have a good time.

I heard the QRP FD suggestion via Rich and couldn't
believe my ears!  Some of us in the area had discussed
a QRP FD operation, but it hasn't gotten off the
ground yet.  I could likely round up 4-6 operators who
would be interested in participating from neighboring
clubs (particularly BARC and CARA).  

QRP is not everyone's cup of tea.  Its almost insane
for SSB operation in June, more so with low sunspots. 
We don't want to diminish the fun of the "heavy metal"
gang who wants big beams and power!  

The idea of a co-located smaller QRP operation (with a
different crew and call sign) is appealing.  It would
be an interesting demo of what can be done with less. 
If we swiped the club's best CW ops we could roll up a
nifty score, but that wouldn't be the motivation.  A
suitable QRP adjunct might be 2-3 transmitters, CW and
maybe PSK31, running rigs under battery power.  I
still favor PCs for logging and these are allowed to
operate off the generator.  We would need enough
separation from the main operation so we can
simultaneously use the primary bands (80/40/20), but
close enough we can mingle.  

If there is club interest in hosting an adjunct QRP
operation I am interested in helping it occur, and I
can recruit some area QRP operators to add to our own
crew (KE3FL?, N3III, etc.).

Field Day is a lot of fun anyway you do it. What we have done down here 
in FL for several reasons (including but not limited to: thunderstorms, 
mosquitoes, alligators, oppressive heat, and fuel cost) is to go to the 
class E operation. With this we can set up some additional antennas in 
advance and take them down a week or two later, and we have a nice solid 
building to work out of. It allows the focus on that weekend to be 
operating a radio rather then all the setup and tear down activity. Its 
just another option you might want to consider.

Subject: [K3PZN-List] Field Day 2006
In-Reply-To: <20060412160357.67255.qmail@web53912.mail.yahoo.com>
Message-ID: <20060414170402.89287.qmail@web53901.mail.yahoo.com>

Sounds like this topic is on vacation thru the holiday
weekend ... FB.  

Some further thoughts on potential co-location of a
"big FD" and "QRP battery FD event."  

1. location needs to be practical for two "sites" - a
big one and a small one.  while the QRP setup would
use battery for rigs, it would like to use "just a
little" generator power for logging PCs and lighting. 


2. a high end QRP operation could be 3 transmitters:

station 1 - 40m CW
station 2 - 20 and 80m CW
station 3 - "odd modes" - this could use PSK31, SSB
and potentially VHF ?  

note the bulk of QRP QSOs in this time of low sunspots
and summer QRN will clearly be CW, but this third
station could add some interest!  

3. real important - got to do just a little
engineering toward having 3 simultaneous transmitters
on the "key bands" - i expect the bulk of QSOs will be
on 20, 40 and 80 maybe in that order.  2 100 watt
stations (CW and SSB) and one from the QRP crew need
to thrive.  a little effort to orient the 40 and 20
antennas optimally, and maximize 80m separation are
required.  we likely will want to use higher end QRP
rigs, and some coordination of "run" frequencies on
CW.  all do-able.  

4. we have to find enough batteries, and opt for rigs
with reasonable power consumption particularly on
receive.  i know the club has dispersed enough gel
cells over the years, so we should be covered.  

5. need to optimize distribution of operators across
the two efforts.  the QRP gang will likely have less
transmitters and require fewer ops - but we still need
a bunch.  possible incentive - i am sure we will set
up and tear down much faster!  

6. antennas - more important on QRP side!  my ideas
are wire vertical for 20m, dipole for 40m, and an
end-fed half wave on 80m.  obviously we can be as
creative as we want to be over here!

I don't know in what capacity I'll be able to participate, if at all,
due to my work schedule.  However, I would be honored to permit the
use of my call sign (W3MDC)for FD operations.

I'm not sure how much time I will have and whether
or not I will be over extended, but I would like
to do something a little different and the station
committee sounds about right.

Dear Members,

Please send me an email at jvc749@adelphia.net or
leave me a message at
410-386-0198 if you would like to be a member of
the station committee for the coming year.? I am
putting a list of members together and plan to
call a meeting before the end of April.? It would
be a great way for you to help out the club and
have an active role in shaping the evolution of
our equipment and capabilities.? It is also a
great way to meet other folks in the club and try
out your skills if you have not been a member of
the committee in the past.? We will be concerned
with antenna and tower maintenance, station
equipment, organizing the shack, and making
decisions for equipment and accessory purchases.?
We will also discuss educating the club on how to
use the equipment we have and how we can most
effectively prepare the station and members for
use during emergencies.? It should be a lot of
fun.

I look forward to a productive and active year.

John, AK3Z
Chairman

That sounds just a little too public.  Antenna
supports and towers may be a problem not to
mention a hazard. Noise may be a factor amongst
other things. I am not in favor for one, and
probably would not do field day if it was at such
a location.  I believe as in the past, Field Day
means just that, not in the medium strip of a
highway or in a mall.  I don't want to be
offensive, but we this has become the forum for
discussing and choosing the site and this is just
my opinion, no one else's. I guess you can't teach
an old dog new tricks after 45 field days.

John,

How about in the grassed islands surrounding the
Wal-Mart parking lot in Westminster?  I lot of

Carroll County Amateur Radio Club
Meeting Minutes, 10-April 2006

President John Hart, K3KWO, called the meeting to order at 7:45 PM. Nineteen
members and four guests were present.

Our guest speakers were Maryland-DC Section Manager Jim Cross WI3N, and
Assistant Section Manager Al Brown KZ3AB.

Jim presented an outline of the section?s organization, including some 140
volunteer positions that comprise the section. He also discussed the section
convention, which will be held on July 29th in Hagerstown. The official
Maryland-DC Section web page is at http://www.arrl-mdc-net.

Announcements:

The next Board of Directors meeting will be held on Wednesday 19 April, 7:30 PM
at the Fire Training Center. All members are welcome to attend.

Members are encouraged to pick up some hamfest flyers and distribute them at
upcoming hamfests.

May?s presentation topic will be NIMS training. After the 1-hour session it
should be easy for anyone attending to pass the IS700 exam. IS100 training will
be held at the June meeting, and IS200 training will be held at the July
meeting.

>From the mailbag:

No mail was available.

Secretary?s Report:

Steve N3SB read the minutes from the March meeting. The minutes were approved by
the membership present.

Treasurer?s Report:

Bill W3STG read the secretary?s report. The report was approved by the
membership present.

Board Meeting notes:

The Board meeting minutes were briefly reviewed. John AK3Z inquired about the
Board?s discussion of Panasonic Toughbook laptops. Bill W3STG displayed the
unit he recently acquired.

Committee Reports:

Larry WX3F provided a report for the Repeater Committee. The 147.285 repeater is
installed in Sykesville. Coverage appears to have a null to the Northwest, due
to where the antenna is installed on the tower. The machine may still require a
little tweaking, but its otherwise ready for operation.

The 145.410 repeater still has a desense issue, due to broadband transmitter
noise. The committee is still investigating possible solutions.

The 449.875 repeater had been experiencing some spurious oscillation problems.
WX3F and K3KWO performed surgery on the high-power amplifier, rearranging its
internal wiring to kep it away from high RF areas. Since that time the repeater
has been behaving much better! There does appear to be some noise or desense
coming from another transmitter at the Gorsuch Road site.

The 53.090 repeater is working well. Its antenna looked like it had lost a
portion of its radiating element, but upon further inspection and review the
antenna is as it should be.

The 145.030 Packet BBS is also working well. Larry said it just ?keeps on
ticking.?

Old Business:

None

New Business:

President Hart formed the following committees with the corresponding chairmen ?


Field Day Committee ? John Hoge W3JJH

Station Committee ? John Chesley AK3Z

DCS Committee ? Charles Cunningham N3TOT

Training & Education Committee ? Bill Neeriemer W3STG

Membership Committee ? Bill Neeriemer W3STG

Finance Committee ? Bill Neeriemer W3STG

Digital Committee ? Bill Neeriemer W3STG

PC Maintenance ? Gene Kern KB3JHR

Publications Committee ? Steve Beckman N3SB

CCARC Website Maintenance ? Steve Beckman N3SB

Additionally, Charles Cunningham N3TOT will continue his duties as CCARC EMCOMM
Liaison.

Chairmen were requested for the following committees:

Tailgate-Fest ? no chairman

Holiday Party Committee ? no chairman 

Repeater Committee ? no chairman

Technical Committee ? no chairman

Closing notes:

John K3KWO asked the club if it would like to try a QRP Field Day. The topic was
briefly discussed, but no decision was made. Field Day Chairman John W3JJH asked
that the club decide by the May meeting.

Jim Owen K4CGY won an ARRL Handbook, donated by our guest speaker Jim Cross
WI3N. Tony Krauth KF3AK won the brown-bag prize, also an ARRL Handbook, donated
by President John Hart K3KWO.

President Hart adjourned the meeting at 9:39 PM.

Respectfully submitted;

Subject: [K3PZN-List] IS-700 NIMS Training coming soon to a club meeting
	near you.
Message-ID: <ACC0B62FA3843545A21B72D1B1DB189F01285026@NIHCESMLBX8.nih.gov>

Folks-

 

Last night at the DCS committee meeting, we reviewed the IS-700 course
that I've prepared.  We ran a little long at 90 minutes, but I overall I
think it went well.  After the lecture portion, there is an opportunity
to discuss how NIMS relates to Amateur Radio, and there is an
opportunity to review the final exam and complete any questions that
were missed during the lecture portion.

 

I have made some modifications to the course based on the comments last
night, and I hope that everyone will enjoy themselves.

 

The training schedule is: (subject to change)

 

IS700   Intro NIMS

Everyone

May Club meeting

ICS100 Intro ICS

Everyone

June Club meeting

IS800   Intro NRP

Leaders & above

May DCS meeting

ICS200 Basic ICS

Leaders & above

TBD

ICS300 Intermediate ICS

Leaders & above

TBD

ICS400 Advanced ICS

Command & General staff

TBD

Note: The ICS200+ course are huge, because they are activity/exercise
oriented instead of lecture oriented, which I think makes them more
interesting.  However, they will have to be scheduled for a weekend day,
and they should be done with other clubs participating.  More later.

Subject: [K3PZN-List] ARES Renewal Time
Message-ID: <20060427.092335.706.979484@webmail49.lax.untd.com>

CARET:

It is renewal time for Carroll County ARES/RACES.  If you have not already done so, please go to the CARET website (www.qsl.net/caret) to renew your membership.

Be aware that with all the new documentation that is now being required of ARES/RACES volunteers by FEMA, anyone not registered may become limited to what one can do in an emergency event.

Please consider that when you register, you are stating that you want to participate in CARET events and training.  Please do not register "just" to be on the list.   There is nothing worse than to have a need for operators and the list is full of ghost operators.

Also, the CARET roster is used as the "official" RACES roster.  Should RACES be activated, only those on the CARET roster will be permitted to participate.

The CARET roster will be purged of all names as of March 30, 2006.

On a training note, you may have heard by now that FEMA is requiring all government associated emergency agency personnel to have cerified training (includes RACES).  For communications, the NIMS IS-700 and IS-100 is recommended.  These courses may be taken on-line. However, the Carroll County Amateur Radio Club is providing this training at their next several meetings (starting Monday, 8 May).  I recommend all take advantage of this opportunity.

73,
Larry WX3F
