Hi Folks;

Recommend that all ARES members review your pre-activation checklists.  
The hurricane season is upon us. Hopefully we don't have any problems  
this weekend with Earl, but it's best to be prepared.

Please feel free to become a fan of my MD Weather Dork facebook page,
Steve.  I've been doing a weather column for a paper called Northern News in
Eastern Carroll County for well over a year now.

I feel the impact oe Earl will be minimal here.

Sean,

No one from the club has asked that I run a VE session, as to the link you can always go to my site:

http://cs.yrex.com/ke3fl/

& page down a bit till you get to the VE Session section & click on the "Use our Registration (sign-up) form: [Click Here]" [Click Here] link.

Let me know if you still have a problem with an iFrame issue when I go there using Firefox 3.6. or IE 6 it works fine. I have not tried to actually send anything yet. Is that when you have a problem? 

Even so, it should pop-up a message saying there are no scheduled sessions available & to please let us know when you'd like a session.

What browser & version are you using? Do you have JavaScript turned on?

I'll be in town & tonight I'll check the batteries. The antennas have been worked on this summer so they should be good barring any catastrophy & even then I have field antennas I can put up if need be.

  Anybody here into or know of someone who is into Collins equipment? 
The club has acquired a S-36A Ultra High Frequency Receiver (it covers 
28 - 140MHz) donated from an estate. Its looking for a new home (I'd 
suggest with a sturdy shelf).

In addition we have:
    2M HT Amp .5 - 5W in for 30W out (looks OK but not checked)
    FT-50 HT (broken, but the fix looks easy)
    Alinco HT sized receiver
    Iocm HT sized receiver
    2m/70cm antenna tuner / meter
    Some expandable HT antennas

Hi Andy;

That big receiver may be a Hallicrafters S-36.

Your beam covers 6m, so you're all set!!

Interesting - since your employer is connected to Hallicrafters (Northrop bought 
them a few decades ago (before they were NG), and our Rolling Meadows facility 
was the Hallicrafters factory!) you just might have to purchase it.  Bill is in 
a 'weakened' state since he just brought a big box home, and I have my hands 
full (and the shelf too) with a new large rig I just obtained.  A little on its 
history is here:

http://oak.cats.ohiou.edu/~postr/bapix/S36A.html

sounds like you need a course in ancient radio manufacturers!  A Collins might 
be worth the ebay fees and shipping - a Hallicrafters someone might drive a 
couple hours for if we listed it someplace, and this one is higher end than 
their SWL receivers.

Its not in perfect shape, some scratches on the front and it looks like 
something may have been mounted to the top case with a few screws a long 
time ago. It lights up and powers on but that is the extent of my 
checkout... I stopped when European Field Day kicked off... 20M is full 
of them from one end to the other right now and that happens to be the 
path my beam is stuck on...

There's some Asian event as well I see a bunch of spots for Asia but I 
can't hear any of them with the beam N -> E.

I have to admit my ears perked up when I saw your posting of the 
S36A...but as Curt says I am in a weakened state to purchase more gear 
but I should be recovered by the time our hamfest rolls around in 
October :)   ...

The HQ110 that "followed me home" is working FB after I aligned 
it...double conversion at that...

Have a good weekend guys..

Message-ID: <4C8546A3.2080801@comcast.net>


I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday weekend and the great weather.

The September meeting is on 16 Sept (a week from today), usual place and 
time.

For this month's meeting topic the S36 I posted about got me to think we 
could run a little contest with shack pictures. There will be multiple 
entry categories and prizes of dubious value. This gives you a whole 
week to take a picture and either bring a CD or  thumb drive to the 
meeting or email it to me by a few hours before.

Initial Categories (more may be added based on participation):
      Shack with the most radios
      Best vintage (tie breaker in this category is the overall weight 
of the items in the photo)
      Mobile entry
      Neat and Tidy shack (could it go unclaimed?)

Looking for more suggestions....

73,
Andy

Hello all,
I checked the club's website and even though the repeaters frequencies are listed, there is no mention of any PL Tones.  We really need to update this part as well as other sections.

I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday weekend and the great weather. 

The September meeting is on 16 Sept (a week from today), usual place and 
time. 

For this month's meeting topic the S36 I posted about got me to think we 
could run a little contest with shack pictures. There will be multiple 
entry categories and prizes of dubious value. This gives you a whole 
week to take a picture and either bring a CD or? thumb drive to the 
meeting or email it to me by a few hours before. 

Initial Categories (more may be added based on participation): 
? ? ? Shack with the most radios 
? ? ? Best vintage (tie breaker in this category is the overall weight 
of the items in the photo) 
? ? ? Mobile entry 
? ? ? Neat and Tidy shack (could it go unclaimed?) 

Looking for more suggestions....

SMALL HIGH-ALTITUDE BALLOON LAUNCH AT OUR 
COMING MASON-DIXON HAMFEST

Wanna help?  We need you!  

We need to set up a simple but effective 
ground station or two.  Got radio?  Great!  
You are in!  Got laptop?  Great!  You are 
in!  

If it is okay with our officers, I'd like 
to hold a ten-minute planning session at 
our next club meeting, Monday, September 13, 
complete with a demo of the three different 
PICetSat modules.  (Two types have telemetry 
downlink in Morse Code and the other has a 
packet radio downlink.)  We will choose to 
fly one of them.

Pat

a few thoughts come to mind --

a. determining which method is most effective under small signal, and varying 
signal conditions.? one could even experimentally hang a picsat up high in the 
wind and have some in LOS take some data.? my suspicion is that more folk will 
have gear for CW than packet, but I could be wrong.? maybe non-CW participants 
could record the received signal ... 


b. definitely work to recruit a tracking network along the projected flight 
path, as literally we thought that the prior mission flew out of our range.? On 
a Sunday it might be hard to gauge whether trackers would be available for a 
morning launch - which unfortunately is when we have the biggest crowd at the 
hamfest - but that may not matter!? Maybe a 1 pm launch might be ideal for 
prospective trackers?? I suggest a repeater be established somewhere in the 
direction of flight for real-time tracking reports, at add interest also to 
observers.? 


c. presuming a 433 MHz downlink frequency, you should mention that in future 
mailings ....

. . . . The CarrollSat-2 Mission? . . . . 

Hi Curt and all,

Thank you for your earlier post.  

Here are some comments in return: 

a. We could do either CW or packet.  Might depend on 
what we want to measure and thus the AMOUNT of telemetry 
we want.  That is, the "higher" the PICetSat type (e.g., 
PICetSat Lite, I, II or III) the more data is collected 
and available for downlink).  A PICetSat static display 
has been done before for short periods (but not at any 
thing other than room altitude), and we can do it again 
anytime.  You are welcome to comment if I did not 
understand if you meant a tethered balloon (which is 
hard to control) or another concept.  

b. Yes, good idea.  We can anticipate the flight 
trajectory fairly accurately in advance, but not much 
more than 24 hours in advance.  That makes it easy to 
deploy volunteer mobile stations out under the flight 
path but not home fixed stations, although the general 
flight path (70% of the time?) is generally eastward 
from the release point.  

We normally launch early in the day since that is 
when the winds are more calm.  We can launch later in 
the morning, but we also must account for the time 
after launch needed to copy the telemetry, which could 
be a couple hours.  I'm not sure if I personally can 
be tied up until 3:00 P.M. or after copying telemetry, 
and if other volunteers are in the same boat, I'm sure 
there is a compromised time that we ought to release.  
Maybe sometime between 11 AM and 12 noon?  

c. Oops.  Yes!  The frequency is 433.920 MHz FM varying 
plus or minus 50 kHz or more.  A tuning resolution of 
5 kHz minimum is required, but 1 kHz or less is 
recommended.  In other words, if you can tune in steps 
of only 10, 12.5 or 25 kHz then you may be disappointed 
by missing the signal.  FYI, the flight transmitter 
module we use is very low cost ("you get what you pay 
for") and its freq seems to vary with time, temperature 
and flight battery voltage.  

Please peek at the CarrollSat-1 web page from our 
flight at last year's Mason-Dixon Hamfest from the 
link below my signature here.  Let's make this one 
a little bigger splash.  

Hope to C U all at the meeting tonight!  

Cheers,

Pat Kilroy, N8PK

good clarifications.? regardless of launch time, it would be good to recruit a 
handful of spotters 'to the east' that have capable receiving stations on 433 
MHz.? Note most of the metro area is to the east of us !? BRATS certainly have 
UHF gear!? We can also contact BARC, ARROW, Mobileers, Arundel (WB4APR ...) and 
from them I can imagine we get at least 2-3 spotters who can extend our range.? 


as our repeater will be used for talk-in, maybe we could arrange to use BRATS or 
another east-ward repeater for 'misson control info' to spotters.? Hint - 
recruit one of our net-expert-geeks for this role - and of course set up a 2m 
rig with enough gain to hit the remote repeater from the hamfest site.? I sense 
this is essential if we use remote spotters so they know when the payload indeed 
is aloft.? 


keep it simple and fun, but maybe we can end the mission without wondering 
whether the payload flew out of range or not.?

more than 24 hours in advance.? That makes it easy to 
deploy volunteer mobile stations out under the flight 
path but not home fixed stations, although the general 
flight path (70% of the time?) is generally eastward 
from the release point.? 

We normally launch early in the day since that is 
when the winds are more calm.? We can launch later in 
the morning, but we also must account for the time 
after launch needed to copy the telemetry, which could 
be a couple hours.? I'm not sure if I personally can 
be tied up until 3:00 P.M. or after copying telemetry, 
and if other volunteers are in the same boat, I'm sure 
there is a compromised time that we ought to release.? 
Maybe sometime between 11 AM and 12 noon?? 

c. Oops.? Yes!? The frequency is 433.920 MHz FM varying 
plus or minus 50 kHz or more.? A tuning resolution of 
5 kHz minimum is required, but 1 kHz or less is 
recommended.? In other words, if you can tune in steps 
of only 10, 12.5 or 25 kHz then you may be disappointed 
by missing the signal.? FYI, the flight transmitter 
module we use is very low cost ("you get what you pay 
for") and its freq seems to vary with time, temperature 
and flight battery voltage.? 

Please peek at the CarrollSat-1 web page from our 
flight at last year's Mason-Dixon Hamfest from the 
link below my signature here.? Let's make this one 
a little bigger splash.? 

Hope to C U all at the meeting tonight!? 

Cheers,

Pat

a few thoughts come to mind --

a. determining which method is most effective under small signal, and varying 
signal conditions.? one could even experimentally hang a picsat up high in the 
wind and have some in LOS take some data.? my suspicion is that more folk will 
have gear for CW than packet, but I could be wrong.? maybe non-CW participants 
could record the received signal ... 


b. definitely work to recruit a tracking network along the projected flight 
path, as literally we thought that the prior mission flew out of our range.? On 
a Sunday it might be hard to gauge whether trackers would be available for a 
morning launch - which unfortunately is when we have the biggest crowd at the 
hamfest - but that may not matter!? Maybe a 1 pm launch might be ideal for 
prospective trackers?? I suggest a repeater be established somewhere in the 
direction of flight for real-time tracking reports, at add interest also to 
observers.? 


c. presuming a 433 MHz downlink frequency, you should mention that in future 
mailings ....

I Elmered a class of folks back in December and

most got their tickets.? At the time, financials were

difficult for a few and I offered to buy them rigs

and let them pay me back over 3 months.? I ordered

several Yaesu FT-1900R 2 Meter FM 55 Watt XCVR's

and most honored the deal.? Two did not and it is time

to offer the rigs to someone who can use them.? 



Therefore, I am selling each for $132.50 including 

shipping via Fed-X ground to CONUS locations.



Contact me if interested.

OK Rex, let me know where you are & I'll let you know when I can come by & pick one up.

I'd like to see if it could be used for the sump pump as well, at 3000VA it just might to that as well.

  Everyone - the club has a few items to dispose of. I'll list them here 
in case members would like them before they go to the hamfest or get 
listed online:

    1. Yaesu FT-50 2m/70cm HT - needs work - the pin on the back of the 
radio that connects to the battery pack is broken. Battery pack seems to 
be dead as well. I would expect to be able to power this radio on via 
the DC connection but it does not. So I'm going to say this is a parts 
radio.  The manual says it has the digital voice recorder option.

    2. Down East 2m pre-amp, exterior mast mount type model 2400-144

    3. Radio Shack 2M HT AMP .5 - 5W in 30W out.

    4. MFJ 922 2M/70cm antenna tuner w 150W SWR meter

    5. AM-COM audio filter.

to keep it setup and usable and I'd rather someone else enjoy it than 
have it sit in its box in the basement. Asking $600.

I believe I will be available this weekend though my granddaughter does have a soccer game that Saturday & I must go as it will probably be the only one I'll be able to get to this season.

Who's organizing it this year?

For all of you Tower Climbers out there,
 
I used to do some of this but only up to about 400 feet (top of tower) back in the 1960s.  You couldn't get me up on a 40 foot tower now.  The video is very interesting wears you out just looking at it.

Subject: [K3PZN-List] HF Propagation Improving
Message-ID: <177244.99290.qm@web53901.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

Now that we are getting into fall, generally the higher bands (17-10m) improve - 
when there is enough solar activity.  Solar flux is in the 80's - which tends to 
support some propagation on 15m.  


I just worked VP8LP on SSB down in the Falklands - which was mostly good timing 
(and some directional) propagation as my 100w / vertical tend not to break too 
many pile-ups.  I guess I didn't know how many people were calling since you 
don't tend to hear them on these higher frequencies due to the skip zone.  So I 
called and he called right back.  


Not every QSO will happen like this (unless you have a superior station, and 
even then geography can put you in disfavor).  Do operate your rigs and check 
those higher bands - sometimes they can mostly be quiet, but you can find some 
distant places on the air.  Note that openings across the equator and toward the 
equator will happen first.  


Glad I replaced my broken coax yesterday to my 20-10m vertical (yes it was 
bought in 1989).  Enjoy the airwaves.

Hi Folks;

The 145.410 and 449.875 repeaters, and the 145.030 BBS will be down at  
various times today. The County is working on antenna cabling and  
replacing lightning arrestors on all the feedlines coming into the  
shelter.

You may also hear the the 2m machine's clock is not set. Because there  
is a chance that the "Midnight Macro" may be executed, you may need to  
set your radio equipment to transmit a 114.8 Hz subaudible tone to  
access the machine.

	Service Manual
Message-ID: <006301cb5e7a$5c9c0160$15d40420$@net>

I'm offering the following item for sale:

 

Kenwood TS-700SP 144 MHz / 2 Meter All-Mode Transceiver.

This is the sought after 'SP' version of the Kenwood classic TS-700 that
includes a digital frequency display and VOX.

Operating modes are: SSB (USB & LSB), CW, AM, and FM.
RF output power: 10 W

The power connector has both AC and DC wiring. The DC power cable is
terminated in Anderson Powerpole connectors (ARES standard configuration).

Also included at no extra charge is the Service Manual (from W7FG) which
includes fold-out, full-size schematics.

I used this transceiver in my home station for weak signal work and
contesting. It was working great when last used on the air 2 years ago. The
unit is in good cosmetic condition as shown in the attached photos. The lamp
on the MHz switch is burnt out but this does not affect the operation of the
unit in any way.

 

Asking price $240 OBO. Buyer to pick up transceiver at my home in Hampstead,
MD.

 

I'm hoping to sell this to a local ham. If there's no interest locally by
October 3rd, I will auction the unit on eBay.

 

Regards,

Stu Benner

I see this much hyped rig is now at HRO.  

Its much hyped mainly since its been a while since Kenwood has had a rather high 
end HF rig.  Its priced above a FT-950 and below any of Icom's current 'higher 
end' rigs.  A few folk were dreaming it is K3-like, which I doubt!  


My first modern rig was a Kenwood, but since then I went to the K2, and now to 
the FT-950.  It will be interested to read about what this rig really does - but 
I doubt that its 'worth the hype' except another rig type is on the market.  


Someone could do a psychological study on why each of likes certain rigs - but 
the controls are a factor (in addition to, and sometimes more, than what is 
inside in terms of performance).  I think I see a one color display, a few 
knobs, I don't know how many roofing filters ... 


Meanwhile - most important - enjoy the rig you have!

	Service Manual
Message-ID: <002401cb5f0b$55e374c0$01aa5e40$@net>

I'm offering the following item for sale:

 

Kenwood TS-700SP 144 MHz / 2 Meter All-Mode Transceiver.

This is the sought after 'SP' version of the Kenwood classic TS-700 that
includes a digital frequency display and VOX.

Operating modes are: SSB (USB & LSB), CW, AM, and FM.
RF output power: 10 W

The power connector has both AC and DC wiring. The DC power cable is
terminated in Anderson Powerpole connectors (ARES standard configuration).

Also included at no extra charge is the Service Manual (from W7FG) which
includes fold-out, full-size schematics.

I used this transceiver in my home station for weak signal work and
contesting. It was working great when last used on the air 2 years ago. The
unit is in good cosmetic condition. Please e-mail me at w3stu at arrl.net for
photos. The lamp on the MHz switch is burnt out but this does not affect the
operation of the unit in any way.

 

Asking price $240 OBO. Buyer to pick up transceiver at my home in Hampstead,
MD.

 

I'm hoping to sell this to a local ham. If there's no interest locally by
October 3rd, I will auction the unit on eBay.

 

Regards,

Stu Benner

Hi Folks;

The work at the Westminster repeater site was completed earlier today.  
Our repeaters should once again be operational.

Please take some time over the next couple days to check out the  
coverage of the 53.090, 145.410, and 449.875 repeaters.

  The 114.8 PL is required for repeater access from 2300 - 0600 nightly 
and in the event of a band opening it could be manually enabled for a 
few hours if one of the control ops feels it is necessary to prevent 
interference. It is always transmitted by the repeater. So in general 
its a good idea to program your radios to have the tone, it won't ever 
hurt and it will help sometimes. We have no plans to require the tone 
full time.

On the way home I noticed that the 6M and 70cm repeaters were on but the 
2M was not. I went up to the site and tightened the power connector on 
the PA, problem solved. I also set the clock while I was up there and 
put the controller in normal day mode.

  I should also note that the grounding job looks very well done, we 
have all new polyphasers located at the building penetration, new 1/2 
hardline jumpers back to the duplexers and new 1/2 hardline jumpers from 
the duplexers all the way to the repeater RF input and output ports.

Hi Folks;

Long-time club friend and member Buddy Redman KD3UZ is looking for  
some help in getting his Cushcraft A4 antenna back on the top of his  
70 ft tower. He has the beam assembled and tuned, and the gin pole is  
already on the tower. He really wants some help at the top of the  
tower to re-install the antenna. Additional hands on the ground to  
pull on the rope would be much appreciated as well.

Targeting 10:00 AM this Saturday morning. If you can help out, please  
let me know.

The weather is supposed to be NICE - it'll be a great day to play with  
an antenna.

Hi Wayne;

It's a free-standing tower - I believe its aluminum.

Buddy's address is 1272 Woods Road, Westminster, MD 21158. Google Maps
