Don't know what happened to the last email I tried to send but, it didn't
seem to go through. Wanted to see if anyone had these three toroidal cores
that I could get or buy from them so I can start on this tuna tin 2 project.
Got most of the part except for the cores and the crystal. Didn't want to
buy 5 of each of the cores so I thought I'd ask you all to see if anyone
could help me out. As always, thanks in advance... 

 

And if anyone has an extra 7 MHz crystal, I'd be happy to buy that as
well...

I can supply the in-edible donuts.  For the -2 and -6 I may have only the next larger size, but it will work fine - and I can help with figuring out what small adjustment is needed.  

let me know how many turns it calls for with the T37 size, and I'll share the secret translator (hint google W8DIZ).  

maybe we can scrounge the club station to see if any 40m xtals are around, or they may fall from a junkbox somewhere.  

let me know if anything else is needed.

Thanks Curt,

L1 is a 22uH molded inductor, 
L2 is the "2", 19 turns of #26 wire
L3 is the "6", 21 turns of #24 wire
T1 is 4:1 on the "43" with 16 turns of #26 (Primary) and 8 turns of #26 on
secondary

Not sure if I can make the L1 but, I just noticed that one this morning as I
was reading it again. I do actually have 3 cores but they looked too big and
I don't have a way to measure the dimensions to figure out how to wrap them.

73,
Anthony

Message-ID: <49DA98C0.5090805@qis.net>

Hi Folks;

The CARET Net will be meeting Tuesday eveing at 8:30 PM on 145.410 MHz. 
After the voice net is over, we'll try some Sound Card digital mode 
experiments.

We had some luck with EasyPal a few months back. This time let's try 
MT-63. It's a robust, Forward Error Correcting mode that reportedly 
works well through repeaters, and can be received by placing the 
computer's microphone near the radio's speaker Let's test that theory 
out tomorrow night.

If you don't currently have software for this mode installed on your PC, 
I recommend you get the FLDIGI software package from 
http://www.w1hkj.com/Fldigi.html   Versions are available for Windows 
(XP and 2K), Mac (OSX), Linux, and FreeBSD

 2009 - Ham Operators Needed to Help Support 2009 Hike Across
 Maryland
Message-ID: <49DA9AB5.2090501@qis.net>

Frederick County ARES is coordinating communications for the Mountain
Club of Maryland for their 2009 Hike Across Maryland event on May 2,
2009.  This is a tough event to cover, the participants hike about 42
miles on the Appalachian trail from Penmar to Harpers Ferry, and
Amateur Radio Operators cover ten checkpoints along the trail, many of
these checkpoints will require multiple shifts of ham coverage.  This
year we hope to add APRS to the toolbox, with a couple of hams hiking
with the sweep team at the end of the line with trackers, and a few
APRS display stations along the route.  If we have enough volunteers,
I'm personally planning to hike the southern half of the trail with
APRS tracking.

Please pass the word, we are looking for hams with equipment that can
cover these shifts.  Most checkpoints require a portable setup with an
external antenna that can be raised a bit, like a roll up jpole hung
from a tree, or something on a small mast.  Also helpful would be a
complete APRS station with computer and several hours of power.

I have a couple of Arduino board kits if you'd like to play with one.  N3SB 
and N3III had a Saturday morning get together last year at the FTC where a 
number of club members built the kits and learned how to generate and upload 
simple programs.  I used the Arduino to control the Si570 programmable 
crystal oscillator and an Analog Devices AD9851 DDS.  I think N3SB was 
playing with building a packet TNC with the Arduino or possibly an advanced 
version of the Arduino.

year I promised to be elsewhere about a month ago. Is there any way to get this information with a month or two lead time?
?
I may be able to make the ARES net probably not the Drill.

Hi Folks;

We've got a number of activities coming up this week to keep the CARET Team
busy:

Tuesday April 14, 7:30 PM - RACES Drill at the EOC. I will be out of town that
evening, so I need someone to be the team POC with the Carroll Office of
Emergency Management Staff.

Tuesday April 14, 8:30 PM - CARET Net. Need someone to be net control. 

Saturday April 18, 9:00 AM - MS Walk at the Carroll County Farm Museum. We're
going to treat this like a regular ARES activation. We'll activate our resource
net at 7:30 on 145.410. We will not be testing our calling tree however; please
just join the net a 7:30 and be ready to proceed to our staging area at the
Fire Training Center when instructed.

73; Steve, N3SB

Hi Eric,

Long time, no hear -- or see!  

Thank you for your post.  

I am using the PICAXE 28X1 in the PICetSat II 
module, using all four A/D converter inputs, 
sensing two temperatures (IAT and OAT) at 
altitude, the battery voltage, and the altitude 
(or pressure) sensor.  The telemetry also 
includes a sequential frame number (poor man's 
MET or TOD clock), a sensor calibration check, 
a simple checksum, either a message/greeting 
to all or name of sponsor or flight group/
school ID, and of course callsign in 10 WPM CW.  

To the point, it works well.  But the next 
series of design developments on the module 
will include a telemetry output in PSK31, RTTY, 
Packet AX.25 or ???  I don't know YET if the 
PICAXE 28X1 (generic PIC16F886) or 28X2 or other 
PICAXEs can output those required tones on their 
own, like I think I heard certain Arduino micro-
controller can.  

My microcontroller selection for the PICetSat 
upgrade is a task for this summer and I can 
really use your input and the input from others 
for help as well.  Thoughts?  

What are YOU trying to do with a microcontroller?  
Please share with the CCARC list group.  

Thanks,

Pat

I have a couple of Arduino board kits if you'd like to play with one.  N3SB 
and N3III had a Saturday morning get together last year at the FTC where a 
number of club members built the kits and learned how to generate and upload 
simple programs.  I used the Arduino to control the Si570 programmable 
crystal oscillator and an Analog Devices AD9851 DDS.  I think N3SB was 
playing with building a packet TNC with the Arduino or possibly an advanced 
version of the Arduino.

Thanks for the reminder.  I am sorry I can not help out as I had planned to
but must go to work on Saturday for hardware input into a new proposal.

Have fun.

Message-ID: <336308.35096.qm@web53907.mail.re2.yahoo.com>


FYI -- this Saturday is the annual QRP to the field contest -- a 'real' field day activity with obvious emphasis on light-enough-to-carry stations (battery, wire, small rigs ...).  

Every year they have a theme -- this year is CCC / WPA (no I haven't determined a nearby site yet -- but i would like to operate for a few hours).  

Yes there won't be a huge number of operators -- but enthusiasm should be high!  

Ideas/interest appreciated -- I will alert the list if my field operation gets off the ground someplace.

Gang,
We got the QRPTTF rules, summary sheet, and other information up on the 
website.? It is at:
http://www.zianet.com/qrp 

The website also contains some photos and ideas for common WPA/CCC project 
sites. 

THIS INCLUDES CANADA, who had their own Work Relief Camps and other similar 
projects in the 1930s.? A link to a list of some of their work relief camps 
and other historical information on the Canadian side of the Great 
Depression is included. 

WPA/CCC PHOTOS: I got an interesting email today from the National New Deal 
Preservation Society at http://www.newdeallegacy.org/ 

A Santa Fe area ham informed them of the WPA/CCC theme for QRPTTF.? I ended 
up calling the president, who turns out lives in Santa Fe, NM.? They are 
trying to figure out activities to bring attention to the disappearing New 
Deal projects.? They have toyed with the idea of encouraging RVers, while on 
the road, to visit and photograph the WPA buildings.? Though not a ham 
herself, she thought the idea of hams operating from WPA/CCC sites was 
"clever in bringing attention to this disappearing aspect of Americana." 

They have lists of many of the remaining WPA buildings and art projects in 
each state, but few photos.? They just don't have the resources to send out 
people to snap photos.? Therefore, she asked us a favor ... if those of you 
participating in QRPTTF from a WPA/CCC site to snap a couple of photos of 
your site for their records.? She is interested in two photos: 1) one of the 
overall building or project, and 2) a closeup showing the WPA marker.? This 
is usually "WPA" stamped into the cement somewhere, or a brass plaque on WPA 
public buildings.? You can send the photos to me and I will forward.? I will 
ensure each photo gets proper credit to the photographer.? Some of these 
photos may be printed in a book now in progress by the association. 

This is good PR for hams and QRPers.? (Had I known this earlier, I would 
have made WPA photos a bonus point!) 

She did drop a MAJOR operating hint on me, well, for you.? She said famous 
old Route 66 and the Lincoln Highway were built or improved primarily by WPA 
and CCC crews.? That's only a few thousand miles of highways!? Hint. 

Hope some of you are having fun finding your local WPA/CCC projects, and at 
least one of them would make a nice QRPTTF site. 

72, Paul NA5N

Having used a tower jack on several tower removals, I can assure you this is
great tool. It increases safety of removing tower sections and reduces
chances of damage to the sections with rocking them and especially with Rohn

Given the occasional need to pull down a tower, often in service, perhaps indeed this is a reasonal investment for the club to make.  

Definitely worth discussion by the board of directors.

Having used a tower jack on several tower removals, I can assure you this is



great tool. It increases safety of removing tower sections and reduces



chances of damage to the sections with rocking them and especially with Rohn



25 try to 2 x 4 or pipe as lever.

Jack For??Tower Work As We Have A Ginpole Already? Just A Thought. I Believe



The Nominal Cost To be Around $110.00. Our Members May Have Some Use For The



Item Or Anyone Needing Aforementioned. Food For Thought. Thanks And 73 Jeff-

Message-ID: <1240594522.49f1f85adf03a@webmail.qis.net>


Hi Folks;

Here's a nice note from the MS Society of Maryland, thanking us for our help
with the walkathon last Saturday.

73; Steve, N3SB



April 24, 2009


Steve:

On behalf of The National Multiple Sclerosis Society- Maryland Chapter
and the staff of Crane Communications Inc., we would like to offer our
sincerest thanks for your generosity and support of the 2009 Walk MS
event in Westminster.  Thanks to your outstanding support, an
overwhelming number of our walkers reported that they had one of the
best and safest experiences ever and they, too, are grateful to our
sponsors and supporters.   You and your team did a great job keeping
track of all the walkers and keeping everyone safe!

 

Multiple Sclerosis stops people from moving.  The National Multiple
Sclerosis Society exists to make sure it doesn't.  Events like Walk MS
enable the National MS Society- Maryland Chapter to continue to make
strides towards our mission of ending the devastating disease of MS by
generating funds for local programs & services and ongoing research.  

The National MS Society- Maryland Chapter supports more than 6,500
Marylanders and their families living with MS.  It is nice to know that
we, in turn, can depend on giving members of the community, like
yourself, to help support initiatives like Walk MS.

Thanks again for your support and we look forward to speaking with you
and seeing you again next year!

  Sincerely,


Lisa Dietrich & Stefanie Spatola

Site Coordinators

Crane Communications Inc.

 

Mark Roeder

Chapter President

National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Maryland Chapter

Frederick County ARES still needs 3-4 operators to provide communications for
the Mountain Club of Maryland's Hike Across Maryland this Saturday, May 2nd. We
need coverage at the following checkpoints along the Appalachian Trail in MD for
the times noted: High Rock (0515-0730), Raven Rock (0600-0830), Cowell Shelter
(0630-1200), and Lambs Knoll (1400-1700). A 5W 2M HT or portable rig with a
decent antenna should suffice and we will be using either 146.745 (-) PL 123.0
or 147.060 (+) PL 123.0 on the Target linked system and/or 146.580 simplex as a
backup between checkpoints. You'll be able to park at the checkpoint or have at
most a 5 minute walk in. ARES membership is not required to participate. Please
contact me ASAP if you are available. Thanks.

A reminder to everyone we are scheduled to have an outdoor cleanup at the FTC this Saturday ~9:30AM. The goal is to remove as much of the old rusting junk from our pile by the barn as possible, cleanup and put a new tarp on the trailer, and then if time remains chase the coax to our windom antenna and get it connected properly in the station. 

The Fire Dept already did some cleanup of our mess for us since we did not get it done over the winter. This is something I'd like to not see repeated. We should be able to keep our own house in order. 

Thanks in advance, 
Andy
