The Gunpowder Baptist Church has asked for the club to support amateur 
radio demonstrations at their vacation bible school this summer. This is 
a great opportunity to reach out to some young people and possibly get 
them interested in amateur radio. In order to support this event we need 
a member to step up and offer to coordinate it. Mainly someone to ensure 
that there are talking points, a small HF setup, and a few people to 
present to the kids. The school runs from Monday, June 23rd to Friday, 
June 27th, and they would like us to be there on Tuesday, June 24th, 
between 8:30 A.M. and Noon. If there is anyone who would like to step up 
and chair this event let me know. The board has to provide an answer by 
the 12th if we can or cannot support this event. I would hate to see us 
pass up this opportunity to introduce some new people to the hobby.

Message-ID: <1210193512.4822166828ecc@webmail.qis.net>

Folks;

Here's some news that can't wait until the minutes are published this weekend.

At the next club meeting, the topic for discussion is antennas, which is
especially appropriate since Field Day is coming up next month.

The idea is to have an open forum to discuss any antenna designs you've had good
luck with, any hints you have related to building or installing antennas, or
attaching connectors to coax, etc. Some of the ideas rumored to be discussed
next Monday include how to build a multi-band vertical antenna, how to build a
Windom antenna, and how to measure coax loss (and what that loss means to
you.)

So -- between now and next Monday evening's meeting, think about what YOU can
contribute on the subject.

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of a great friend,
colleague and fellow ham radio operator.  Dr. Ronald A. Parise, WA4SIR, left
this Earth today, Friday May 9, 2008 after a very long and courageous battle
with cancer.  

Ron Parise was--and continues to be--an inspiration to countless students,
ham radio operators, and friends the world over.  His accomplishments were
many, including:  space explorer, pioneer, astrophysicist, pilot, ham radio
operator, avionics and software expert, inspirational speaker and motivator,
student satellite mentor, husband, father, and friend.  While he certainly
did some truly extraordinary things in his lifetime, Ron Parise is best
known and cherished for keeping family and friends first
and for this, we
will miss him most.  

Ron flew as a payload specialist on two Space Shuttle missions: STS-35 on
the Space Shuttle Columbia in December 1990 and STS-67 on the Space Shuttle
Endeavour in March 1995.  These two missions, called ASTRO-1 & 2
respectively, carried out Ultraviolet and X-ray astronomy observations.  He
logged over 614 hours and 10.6 million miles in space.  Ron and his crew
members on ASTRO-1 became the first astronomers to operate a telescope from
space, making hundreds of observations during the mission.  His personal
contributions to these two missions have provided scientists with an
unprecedented view of our universe, expanding our understanding of the
birth, life and death of stars and galaxies. 

Ron was also the ultimate ham radio operator?in space and on the ground.
First licensed when he was 11, Ron kept the amateur radio hobby at the
forefront of everything he did?including his operations from space.  During
his two Space Shuttle flights, he talked to hundreds of hams on the ground,
giving new meaning to the phrase the ?ultimate DX-pedition?.  He was
instrumental in guiding the development of a simple ham radio system that
could be used in multiple configurations on the Space Shuttle.  As a result,
his first flight on STS-35 ushered in the ?frequent flyer? era of the
Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment (SAREX) payload.  He was the first ham in
space to operate packet radio.  And his flight pioneered the telebridge
ground station concept to enable more schools to talk to Shuttle crew
members despite time and orbit constraints.  In his two shuttle flights, he
inspired countless students to seek technical careers and he created
memories at the schools and communities that will never be forgotten.  

Ron?s love for the amateur radio hobby and his love of inspiring students
continued well beyond his two Shuttle flights.  During the formation of the
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program, Ron was a
tremendous resource to the newly forming international team.  I know of many
instances where Ron?s wisdom and sage advice was instrumental in helping our
international team resolve issues when we reached critical technical or
political roadblocks.  And he was a key volunteer in the development of the
ham radio hardware systems that are now on-board ISS.  The ARISS team is
deeply indebted to WA4SIR for his leadership, technical advice and
tremendous vision.  

Ron worked hand-in-hand with the students at the Naval Academy and
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University on the development of their student
satellites.  He helped develop Radio Jove?a student educational project to
listen to the radio signals emanating from Jupiter.  And he spoke at
numerous schools over the years, inspiring them to pursue careers in
science, math and technology.

I feel blessed to have had Ron as a friend, colleague, ham buddy and mentor.
He gave so much, cheerfully, to our collective hobby and was always there
with the right answer no matter the topic.  I will miss him dearly.

In an effort to continue Ron?s tireless work to inspire the next generation,
the Parise family has set up a scholarship fund in Ron?s honor.  The
scholarship is for students pursuing technical degrees at Youngtown State
University, where Ron received his Bachelors of Science degree.  In lieu of
flowers, those interested are welcome to send donations to the Dr. Ronald A.
Parise Scholarship Fund, Youngstown State University, One University Plaza,
Youngstown, Ohio 44555.

On behalf of AMSAT and the ARISS International team, I would like to extend
our collective condolences to the Parise family and to all Ron?s friends.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

And to Ron Parise, WA4SIR SK:  Our sincerest 73's and 88's 
may your
exploration spirit live on in us all!!

Can someone recap highlights of last nite's meeting ? 


Duty kept me from what I guess was an enjoyable
meeting last nite ?  (My son had a college graduation,
had to take some of his stuff, then stop at daughter's
college to get some of her stuff home last nite).  

Had I been there I may have shared a few of may
antenna experiences (none earth-shaking):

1. dipoles can work without a center feed - my
off-center fed dipole puts its ladder line feed closer
to the shack.  its mostly for convenience, but it does
produce a little gain off the end on higher bands.  

2. a ten meter quad can be homebrewed easily, and it
produces effective gain over simpler antennas.  (my
PVC and wire 10m quad is history -- gee i would love
to find some better quad spreaders for the upcoming
sunspot cycle).  

hint - it is very easy to make one of these for 6
meters!  

3. a modest vertical can work well on 80m.  i used to
think planting radials onto the ground is a waste of
wire!  but not having the supports to erect a 80m
dipole at 60 feet, I tried a top-loaded (commercial)
vertical on 80m and it (along with nice propagation)
exceeded my expectations.  vertical is only 27 feet
tall - its essentially a pole with no matching at the
bottom feed.  it has elevatated loading coils for 80
and 40 meters and modest capacity hats.  i suspect it
could be homebrewed, but i took the easy route and
ordered it from Cushcraft (model MA8040).  

4, the camping 2 meter antenna.  well i once used a
mag mount attached to my coleman stove - but it kinda
got in the way.  a vertical can easily be made from
number 10 housewire -- its just an upside down Y
mounted onto a RF connector.

 captain, as required. Bill N3WM and Steve N3SB will

-----------------------
Excellent Progress!  

I suggest we consider moving the GOTA station to be a
second SSB station.  Potential GOTA operators can be
mainstreamed as participants on our main stations --
and this way we can keep all 5 rigs in action during
prime time!  

As I previously shared, given sunspot count, i believe
5 transmitters are optimal.  At nite these 5 rigs will
have to share antennas for 40, 80 and 160.  During the
day they will stay on 40, and relocate to 20m and
possibly higher.  

This means we need a few more effective antennas!  

160m -- one antenna -- use the longer Carolina windom

80m -- use the shorter Carolina windom.  perhaps it
can be used on 20m during the day?

20/15/10 -- tribander.  

I think this means we should consider 2 more antennas
for 40m, 2 more antennas for 20m -- and perhaps
another antenna for 80m

What I am thinking:

          day        nite
SSB1      20m        80m
SSB2      40m        40m
digital   20m        40/80m
CW1       40m        40/160m
CW2       20m        80m

(we should also consider that 10m might be open with
E-skip -- perhaps we should ID a second antenna that
can be used on 10m ?)

are we planning on VHF/UHF ?  if should weight 'cost'
in time vs benefit.  an open 6m band is fun, otherwise
i would rather see the ops on HF.  

I feel we need to reduce station captain operating
hours -- and literally invite all to participate! 
Recruit ... recruit!  (for the newer ops nothing beats
a personal invitation and a friendly trainer).  Our
biggest goal for FD should be to build the club, as
most of us organizers can operate rigs at home!  

Being less burdened, we (the most active ops) should
consider operating at more than one position!  

How do we make our site more 'visitor friendly'?  

We may wish to have a welcome station.  Maybe some
info on the hobby, and effort to get interested
visitors to a rig immediately.  

Food -- can we BBQ outside, or must we rely on
bringing in food ?  

Have we registered at the ARRL site ?  

What else can we do for publicity ?

At the end of the list, consider some demo modes for
visitors -- maybe SSTV or ??

For emergency power, instead of merely having it
present ... maybe we operate CW some on battery power?
 Or?  

Let me know how I can help further as I will try to
make the next FD organizational meeting.

Hello all,
 
I did not hear anything back last week from anyone on the possibility of changing the Pre-Field Day Meeting date from May 31 to May 24.  Unfortunantly, I will be out of the area on the 31st.  If the 31st is the only date for most of us then you will have to fill me in when I get back in the area the first part of June.  
 
I do look forward to the FD event and working the Digital Modes on at least 20 meters and maybe 40 and 80 too.
 
If anyone is looking for some operating on the digital modes, let me know.

John, sorry for not getting back to you, I can't move it up and I don't 
want to push it out any. This may be a working holiday weekend for me. 
We can discuss at the board meeting and see which date works best.

Andy

perhaps you most important input would be the bands
you need antennas for.  perhaps the bulk of digital
activity will be on 20 and 40m ?  i am thinking a pair
of dipoles might be ideal, but i also have a
vertically oriented 'half square' for 20m available. 
plan B might be a vertical that I think Larry has (??)
as this would be a single antenna.  (if we can cross
polarize our antennas it might help).  

i have always thought it strange we seperately logged
digital modes in CT .... should we consider letting
your digital software do the logging, and exporting a
file ?  i dont think the logs go to ARRL anyway !  

good news is this year you don't need 100 lbs of
batteries!  

rig: we should see if the digital station can use one
of the rigs having a narrow CW filter (that is usable
on RTTY).  i am thinking we should use the highest
performing rigs we got to allow for coexistance.  let
us know if you have already picked out a rig from the
club's collection, or you have something else in mind.
 

i would like to do some RTTY sometime during FD (but i
will need some training on your software).  

speaking of digital modes, lately i have been doing
PSK31 on 20 and 40m in the early evenings -- lots of
activity (except for last nite).  

see you all tonite.

Curt,
 
I agree that most of the digital contacts will be on 20 and 40 mtrs with a few on 80 mtrs as 20 will probably die down in the early morning hours.  I have a good dipole to cover 160-80-40 mtrs, a rotatable dipole for 40 mtrs and then my old faithful vertical, the outbacker and ground stand.  I am hoping to have my radio shelter completely in service for Field Day so that I can locate in the back of the upper lot down near the burn tower.  As I remember, there is a power outlet on the front of the trailer office in the upper lot.  It should be good for 20 amps at 120 volts.  I might bring along one or two batteries to float on my switching supply ( 13.8 volts DC ) for the rig.  I have a very narrow filter for my IC-706 MKIIG (350 HZ).  This works well for both PSK-31 and RTTY.  If I have enought room on my operating table in the shelter, I could bring my IC-756PROII.  Both rigs are setup with very good digital interfaces for my laptop.  I have an extra laptop for logging and the CT Logging program is a much better program than the one that is built into the MixW digital software.
 
If everything goes well with the shelter rehab, I will have A/C, lighting, ventilation and adequate room for 2 station operators and room for 1 or 2 visitors.  I have no toilet provisions in the shelter, but the club station would not be too far away.  The shelter will be mounted on a flat-bed landscaping trailer towed by my pickup truck.
 
For this year's operation, can we run our stations on the BG&E Power system at the FTC or will we have to run full-time on one or more generators? 
 
I plan on stopping over to the FTC and check-out the upper lot over the next couple of weeks.  I would think that anywhere within the FTC Compound would be inside the 1000 foot diameter for the Field Day Site?
 
Talk to you all later,
 
John, K3KWO

wow!  thanks for sharing plans.  don't wear yourself
out preparing your mobile radio shelter -- but the
concept is exciting.  

ok i am slow, but i realize for digital modes your
gear is cabled for certain kinds of rigs - and i dont
remember anything Icom (??) at our station.  the main
idea is the rigs that have higher blocking dynamic
range and lower phase noise will interact less -- and
as you know its only 10's of Hz between CW and digital
subbands -- but of course we can engineer a solution. 


i wonder if anyone has a map of the site ?

Curt-

Check out:

     http://tinyurl.com/698lvd

.. and zoom in.  It is a pretty good aerial image of the FTC and 
surroundings.

Might help.

Hi Curt

We had set it up for around 9:30am at FTC.....now if it happens to be 
raining I am not sure what we'll do.

We're tough dudes - we'll wear raincoats!  

I jumped thru all the hoops to get LOTW working ...
got about a 20% QSL rate from ~1700 QSO's (which is
better than 0%).

I think we can handle light rain, downpours and thunderstorms we'll come

Subject: [K3PZN-List] HBX Gin Pole
Message-ID: <BAY139-DS10B6A997D39BB381FEEF692B90@phx.gbl>

My dad passed away last Nov and I need to take down his TH-3, rotor and HBX 
tower in Cleveland.  Is there a
gin pole available for borrow or rent that I could use?
