   I have for sale a Hy-gain TH6Dxx 6 element 10-15-20
meter beam. This is disassembled but the elements are
color coded for easy reassemble. Needs all the plastic
end caps of the traps replaced but comes with a new
set of caps. Also needs the steel bolts of the element
clamps replaced. May also need the boom to mast clamp
purchased as I haven't been able to locate it. Maybe
as I clean out the barn it will show up. New one about
$50.00. This was working properly when taken down and
only needs some minor repair and clean up.  $250.00

Hi Jim,

I offered my identical antenna for sale here about a month ago.  There
were no takers.  Perhaps we can cooperate:  if you sell yours and have
another buyer inquiring, would you refer that person to me?  I'll do the
same for you.

It seems a shame that such excellent antennas are sitting there with no
Ham using them.

73,

Frank,
Since cateract surgury, if I didn't have my lighted magnifying glass from Office Depot - the one with the flourescent light around the lens - I wouldn't be able to do any solder work at all.  But with that I can even do SMT - as in the SoftRock Lites.  I don't have a small board holder, but sounds like it would be real helpful.  I'll bet Radio Shack no longer carries them.  If they do I'll pick one up.  For almost all my soldering work - KX1, SoftRocks, FireFly.  I use the Radio Shack grounded tip 15 watt soldering iron with their small diameter .015 silver bearing solder.  With that you can individually solder the legs of the Softrock SMT components.
I hope to add more club member work to the web page soon.
Rich, N3III

Phone Shack doesn't have them anymore. I found my Helping Hands at Harbor Freight.

Greetings;

The 2007 Simulated Emergency Test (SET) is tentatively scheduled for the weekend of October 6th and 7th.   Carroll County RACES will be conducting its SET for a small portion of this time frame depending on interest.  The purpose and format are outlined below.  If you are interested in AND willing to participate in the SET this fall, please send me an e-mail by 9/15/07.  (YES, you can participate from a remote location!)

Personally, I'd like to see at least 33% of participants to be new hams (licensed for less than 3 years).


Purpose of SET 

To find out the strengths and weaknesses of ARES, NTS, RACES and other groups in providing emergency communications. 

To provide a public demonstration--to served agencies such as the American Red Cross, the emergency management agency and through the news media--of the value to the public that Amateur Radio provides, particularly in time of need. 

To help radio amateurs gain experience in communications using standard procedures and a variety of modes under simulated-emergency conditions. 

Format 

The scoring format reflects broad objectives and encourages use of digital modes for handling high-volume traffic and point-to-point Welfare reports out of the affected simulated- disaster area. Participants will find SET an opportunity to strengthen the VHF-HF link at the local level, thereby ensuring that ARES and NTS are working in concert. The SET will give all levels of NTS the chance to handle exercise-related traffic. The guidelines also recognize tactical traffic on behalf of served agencies. 

Test messages should carry the word "TEST" before the precedence; that is, "Test Priority" on phone and "TEST P" on cw. The text of such messages should also begin with the words "TEST MESSAGE." 

ARES units and other groups are free to conduct their emergency exercises anytime between September and December if an alternative date is preferred. The activity period should not exceed 48 hours. 

 

Keith Krichinsky, W3MDC

Carroll County RACES Officer

Hey guys,
Something new on the PICAXE Development Page.  It now just has some general stuff on it with links to PICAXE projects.  Pete, W3GVX, sent me the code for a PICAXE project that he is working on.  It is under the link, Pete's Morse Code Sender Project.  Try it out!  If you've put together a PICAXE project, send it along and we will add it.

I got $100 for mine (no power supply, no mods).  I would have rated it a 9 out
of 10.

I've seen HW-8s without power supplies on ebay going for $70 to $125.  With a
power supply a cherry unit goes for around $150.

An original manual in good condition adds another $10 or so.

They are great rigs.  I built one brand new when I was 16.  With the HW8 and
a small 3 element 15 meter beam worked Australia for the first time with a
couple of watts CW.  It was a real thrill back when the sunspot cycle was
peaking.

Hi Guys,
   Well the time has finally come after 46 years. Mary
and I are leaving the area. We have bought a home and
5 acres south of Charlottesville, Va and will go to
settlement on or about October 15. It has been a fun
run and we both will miss you and all our friends here
in MD.
   I plan on a two meter beam to continue to at least
work the 147.06 repeater, I'm not sure if I can do
145.41.
   The reason I'm letting you know at this time is
that my house near Mt. Airy will likely go on the
market in a few weeks. If any ham you know would be
interested I will leave the tower and all antenna's up
for a small additional fee. I plan to start taking
down the antenna's in the next couple of weeks, so if
there is any interest let me know. An email to
k4cgy@yahoo.com is all it will take to start action.

Hi Jim;

I remember several years ago you talking about moving
- congratulations on a fine choice of your new home! 
You're down in Bob, W4MYA's territory, very pretty
country.  

Hope you'll be able to set up an HF station if you
desire.  Look forward to hearing you on the air.

Enjoy the new QTH and stay in touch with your friends
from CCARC.

Hi Jim,

Good luck with your new QTH.  I sincerely believe you are doing the right
thing to move where you are going--it sounds like a very happy place for you
to live in.  It was great knowing you. Hopefully I'll catch you on the air
sometime in the future.

John, AK3Z

Hi Guys,
   Well the time has finally come after 46 years. Mary
and I are leaving the area. We have bought a home and
5 acres south of Charlottesville, Va and will go to
settlement on or about October 15. It has been a fun
run and we both will miss you and all our friends here
in MD.
   I plan on a two meter beam to continue to at least
work the 147.06 repeater, I'm not sure if I can do
145.41.
   The reason I'm letting you know at this time is
that my house near Mt. Airy will likely go on the
market in a few weeks. If any ham you know would be
interested I will leave the tower and all antenna's up
for a small additional fee. I plan to start taking
down the antenna's in the next couple of weeks, so if
there is any interest let me know. An email to
k4cgy@yahoo.com is all it will take to start action.

Thanks John,
   It's going to be a lot of work moving. I packed
three boxes of books this morning, about 5% of what I
have, and each box weighed about 60 lbs!!! Got to buy
some smaller boxes.
   I may be asking the club members for a little help
with taking the tower down. I have to find a gin pole
first but need to get started on these kind of things.
   I'm going to miss CCARC but  guess that there will
be a club down there I will join.
   See you on Monday maybe?

CCARC Board of Directors Meeting, 22-August-2007

In attendance were Rich N3III, Chuck N3TOT, Bill N3WM, Frank K3MTT, Gene KB3JHR,
and Steve N3SB.

1.	Workstation Donation ? from Charlie Pittinger ? The club received a nice
computer as a donation from Charlie.

2.	Tailgate-Fest after-action review ? the committee struggled with finding the
right locations for signs. Rich will document the locations where he placed the
signs, so that we can re-use his information to locate the signs for future
hamfests. Our maps need to be updated to show the new entrance to the Ag Center
grounds. We will start looking at options for prizes for the Hamfest.

3.	SkyWarn MOU ? The board reviewed the MOU from Doug Wittich, the NE Area
Coordinator. The MOU seems to be much longer than it needs to be. A simpler
document will be drafted for review by the BoD, and then sent to Doug.

4.	South Carroll Repeater Site ? The BoD discussed the possibility of replacing
the coax running to the antenna with high quality hardline. The coax that?s
currently installed is of a basic RG-8 type.

5.	PICetSAT News ? Rich N3II has been crafting items to support prototyping with
the PICAXE boards. He plans on spending a few minutes discussing his latest at
the next club meeting. Rich has formed a committee to support experimentation
with PICs and other microcontrollers, in conjunction with balloon flights.

Respectfully Submitted;
Steve Beckman, N3SB
CCARC Secretary.

Hi Guys,
   As I'm packing, I have come to the realization that
I can't take everything, well at least I shouldn't.
For now I have a few items of which someone may be
interested.

New PLEXTOR PX-740uf external DVD burner/reader.
Includes CD install disk, USB cable (also can do
firewire) power supply. I have used this about three
times but find most of what I do, a CD is all I need.
Anyone interested at $50.00.

Ham Radio Magazines from 1976 to 1987   FREE

73 Magazines from 1977 to 1980   FREE

  If anyone is interested let me know and I will bring
to the club meeting on Monday.

Hi Guys,
   Are there a few of you that could help me next Sat
22nd (rain date 29th) to take down my tower? I will
try to have the tower stripped of cables, switches and
maybe the rotor. Does anyone have a "tower jack"? If
not I will try to get one here by next Saturday.  It
would be helpful of one of you can climb in case I get
too tired. If you can make it let me know and any help
will be much appreciated.
  I'm located on Buffalo Rd about 1/2 mile south of
RT-26.
>From intersection of RT-26 & Rt-27 go west toward
Frederick. About 1.5 miles from 26/27 intersection
turn left on Buffalo Rd, row of houses on left side of
road about 1/4 miles from RT-26, our house is the last
in the row ( first house also has a tower (K3DUG).

various duties that you may have at that time.  I may be able to help with
set-up on Sat evening but will have to let you know.

CCARCers,
The TEC committee meets regularly after the CARET net on Tuesday nights.  Topics of discussion range from PICAXEs to PICetSats to Software Defined Radio to K3s (at least they did last night).  The TEC committee meets irregularly at Staples at 6:30 Friday evening.  So this coming Friday night, September 21 we will meet at Stables at 6:30.  If you would like to join us let me know by noon tomorrow, Thursday, so I can make resevations.  XYLs (or YLs as the case may be) are welcome, so be sure to tell me how many.
I have updated the website with a few more Future Project Ideas - these from Pete.  He's making great progress on the first of them.  Also the SoftRock Lite sequence is done up through stage 6.  One more to go, which completes Softrock Lite.  This will be presented at the next meeting.  The url is http://home.att.net/~geobra/

Rich

FB and thanks for setting up.  i will be away this
weekend, but i will try to join the tuesday nite nets
in the future.  

nice list of projects, and having Pete on your team
should be a nice asset given his design skills + free
time.  

not sure what i am going to do with the PICAXE yet,
but a beacon transmitter sounds like a nice
application.  perhaps a 10m ~1 watt Xmtr could be
realized if i can locate a common xtal or pair of
xtals to get into the beacon sub-band.  

this winter i hope to integrate my HB 40m xcvr,
exercise the HW16, and work some lowband DX.  

had a nice qso this morning with N3WM on our two
machines -- maybe we can all exercise them more often
during commuting hours.  

73, curt

I never knew that the Congressman who represents
Carroll County, Roscoe Bartlett, has ham W4LTX on his
staff.  They are asking for HF contacts on 3 October. 
See below:
---------------------------------------

Army MARS Chief Stuart S. Carter, AAA9A, has invited
the ARRL and Amateur Radio representatives to join a
Military Affiliate Radio System(MARS) demonstration
outside the Capitol building in Washington, DC on
October 3. Hams around the country are asked to aid in
the demonstration by making HF contacts during the
day. With help from Laura Abshire, Legislative Aide to
Representative Mike Ross, WD5DVR (D-AR), Tricia
Russell, Legislative Aide to Representative Steve
Israel (D-NY), and coordination of the myriad details
by "Pudge" Forrester, W4LTX, Systems Administrator for
Representative Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD), the "show" is
set for next Wednesday, and hams around the country
can help.

Message-ID: <382610.72597.qm@web52005.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

Fellow CCARCers,

I regret to say that I will be in Georgia on the day
of our next club meeting (well, not regret really
since I'll be on the beach) but I do need some
information about VE testing at the hamfest.  The
K3PZN page has a link from the hamfest page to a CCARC
VE page which only lists the Father's Day June hamfest
on the pull down menu.  A friend of mine wants to test
at the Mason-Dixon hamfest...if we are going to have a
session, what time will it be?

Oh, I will volunteer to sell tickets or do whatever
you need at the hamfest, too.

Finally, I put my PICAXE kit together and have yet to
load the software.  I hope to have time to do that
some time soon.  My eye sight is going and I certainly
realized it while soldering in the components! Getting
old is tough!

A couple of the CCARC ARES members talked to him a couple of years ago when
attempts were first being made to fund emergency radio equipment at Carroll
County Shelter sites. He visited our FD operation the last time it was at
