Thanks to everyone who has volunteered so far - we have at least basic
coverage at each checkpoint, but there is always room for help at this
event.
Please let me know if you can assist.

Good suggestion by Andy to reflow the solder, you might want to look up the recent article in QST:

Jim,
I will volunteer for a Station Capt. again this year.  My interests are in Digital Modes or SSB.  I plan on bringing my BOX on a trailer ,with a generator, if needed.  At present, I do not have a very good antenna selection for the HF bands.

Dear CCARC Field Day Enthusiasts,
?
Our Gamber VFD field day team is already beginning to take shape, and yes, it's hard to believe right now but there are less than two monts to go!
?
So far we have the following assignments:
?
1.? John K3KWO - Digital and maybe some SSB somewhere.
2.? Jim?? WX3B -? 15 meter SSB (and CW to be shared with the CW guys)
3.? Steve NY3A - Team #1 CW (bands to be determined)
4.? Rob?? K1RH -? 20m SSB - a rumor, probably a reliable one.
?
Any other folks? interested in leading a station?? 
?
(I presume interest will build as the time gets closer to field day).

As I suggested earlier - I would be willing to work with someone to put together 
a 'Green' station, aiming for these attributes:

a. lower power consumption?- especially on receive (needs an excellent rig 
without DSP, such as a K2)
b. very quick set-up and tear down (perhaps a dipole and a light-weight beam, 
such as a moxon)
c. alternative power -- does someone have a suitable solar array and batteries

I can supply the rig, but I don't have the power system for this concept.? Idea 
is to have some 'diversity' at FD -- I still wish to have a big-enough signal 
and will use PC logging.? 


Band assignments should be in-line with an effective lower ERP station 
(operating 5-50 watts).? Maybe will concentrate on 15 and 40m, possibly both CW 
and SSB.? Given we will all be networked, we can dynamically configure our 
stations.? 


To pull this off - need partners who have the solar power system, and 
secondarily someone who might be interested in building a light weight 15m beam 
(that could be used at their home station afterwards).? 


If we don't have the interest, we can stick with heavy metal and burning fuel -- 
this is aimed at broadening our experience.? Also I don't mind operating any FD 
station myself.?

Curt,

I use to do a low power "green" station years ago, QRP/5W to a 40m dipole using a solar charged 7Ahr battery & solar panel to keep it going longer as long as there was sun. I would re-charge the battery using the solar panel just before field day & then plug in the solar panel to the battery while operating field day. I was only interested in getting the 10 QSO's needed for the 100 extra points.

Then there was someone else who brought a real solar array to power a full 100W station one year so my lil "green" station was no longer needed. I haven't brought it back since.

I still use my set-up at home on field day or on vacation trips. From the car I use the TenTec Century 22 ~20W output also CW only. I don't have a large enough solar panel to run even a 20W station indefinitely.

night's regular monthly membership meeting?  

I know of an out of town guest ham who 
might want to visit us.  

Thanks,

Hi All,
  I cant make it to the meeting on Monday, but I met a new Ham in the
area that is interested in joining the club.  His name is Ray Wright.  He
will be at the meeting on Monday.  He is interested in ARES, RACES as well
as general club activities.   Please give him a warm CCARC welcome.  Thanks.

An update: 

I received my FUNcube Dongle!  Initial bench 
test results of receiving a strong PICetSat 
signal (see http://simsat.net/carrollsat/) 
look good so far to me.  

One reluctant evaluator, however, questioned 
whether the tiny unit was little more than a 
toy.  So, I would like to run some formal 
tests on it and other receivers at the same 
time under the same conditions, and then 
compare results.  More testing and 
evaluation will follow.  

In the mean time, one fine group in Texas 
may have stolen my thunder.  See below for 
an insightful message from Ken N8KH, who 
works at Harris radio in Melbourne, FL.  Ken 
uncovered the recent NTMS test results and 
offered additional helpful comments to us.  

But, as an aside about Ken's pre-amplifier 
recommendation, I found several amplification 
stages in the FUNcube Dongle itself that are 
variable and can be easily changed.  I will 
experiment with them before purchasing another 
satellite-grade low-noise pre-amp.  I also 
have a nice, big DCI filter for 145 MHz and 
another for 435 MHz to insert between the 
dongle and antenna if and when needed.  

Immediately below Ken's message, please see 
the related links of interest, for your 
convenience.  

Did YOU order a FUNcube Dongle yet?  

Keep trying!  The next sale should be 
announced on the FUNcubeDongle Web site 
soon.  

Cheers,

Pat

Subject: MDS & NF Tests (Including FUNcube Dongle)

The North Texas Microwave Society (NTMS) just did 
some testing of minimum detectable signal (MDS) 
and noise figure (NF) measurements for common IF 
receivers, including the FUNcube Dongle Pro [and 
the IC-910H].  (It was published tonight.)

The FUNcube performed very well.  On both 435 MHz 
and also 1296 MHz it was within 3 dB of the best 
out there. As you know, 3 dB is just barely 
measurable in the laboratory with expensive test 
equipment, and only barely noticeable on the air.  
Their report/slides: 

http://www.NTMS.org/files/MDS_NF_Measurements_IF_Rigs_RevC.pdf

If you want to make up that 3 dB, just add a very 
good pre-amp to the front end.  But be careful, 
and do not overload the FUNcube with too much 
signal.  You don't want much gain -- only the 
lower noise figure and enough gain to overcome 
feedline losses.  Make sure to measure dynamic 
range after adding the preamp, to ensure you 
haven't degraded dynamic range.  But to be 
honest, 3 dB probably isn't worth it.  

Here are some quick and easy rules of thumb: 

If you want to double range, you need +6 dB.  

If you cut the bandwidth in half, you will add 
+3 dB of performance (at the expense of time).

So if you need 6 dB, you can cut the bandwidth 
in half twice.  Use slower signaling, and longer 
integration times at your receiver, and you will 
have your 6 dB and doubling of range.  

The first step to deciding if your FUNcube will 
really work in your application is to do a link 
budget.  Do you have antenna gain pattern 
figures?  Bandwidths?  Power output?  Perhaps 
I can help you out with the link budget.

My gut level feel is that your system will work 
well, but math is better than a gut feeling.  

73,
Ken N8KH

Subject: Join a FUNcube Eval

Cross-posted from amsat-dc at amsat.org ...
 
Yesterday I ordered a FUNcube Dongle Pro 
from Howard Long, G6LVB, and AMSAT-UK 
at http://www.funcubedongle.com/ for 
under $200 USD to evaluate.  []  
 
I am evaluating this SDR receiver for dual 
use on the Amateur Satellites and my STEM 
project of SimSat, specifically, currently, 
on quality of reception of my high-altitude 
balloon experiment PICetSat flight modules.  
We will fly again this summer.  
 
Part of the FUNcube Dongle Pro technical 
FAQ is reproduced below, FYI.  
 
I am looking for others who wish to also 
evaluate the same receiver for whatever 
one's purpose.  Please let me know if you 
got one or when you get one, and what 
software you are trying.  
 
Thoughts?    
 
THANKS and 73,

Technical FAQ
Q. What is the FUNcube Dongle Pro frequency range?
A. 64-1,700MHz, although straw poll tests on 
pre-production units indicate that units can 
be stretched down to 51.5MHz or so.  Upper 
frequency limit is beyond 2,000MHz.  In testing, 
we have determined that there is a gap between 
about 1,100MHz and 1,270MHz where the design of 
the local oscillator VCO, PLL and divider chain 
in the tuner chip don't provide seemless 
coverage.

Q. What can the FUNcube Dongle receive?
A. The FUNcube Dongle has no restriction on 
modulation schemes: it is limited only by the 
application program running on the host computer. 
As long as the signal fits within about an 80kHz 
bandwidth, the FUNcube Dongle is capable of 
receiving the radio signal.  So, for analogue 
reception, as well as narrow band FM and SSB, 
it is also possible to receive, for example, 
sound subcarriers for TV broadcast. Similarly 
for data reception, as long as a data demodulator 
has been written that will accept standard 
soundcard quadrature I/Q reception, that will 
work too.

Q. What is the bandwidth?
A. 96kHz is the quadrature sampling rate.  Once 
the ADC's decimation filter skirts have been 
taken into account, you have about 80kHz.  

Q. What applications work with the FUNcube Dongle?  
A. As well as the forthcoming FUNcube front end 
application, any application that understands 
a standard stereo soundcard configured for 
quadrature, or I/Q, reception should work.  
Examples include Linrad, Spectravue, Rocky 
and M0KGK.

Q. What is the sensitivity?
A. Each unit is tested for 0.15uV for 12dB 
SINAD NBFM at 145MHz and 435MHz.

Q. What operating systems are compatible?
A. Currently Windows 2000 SP4, XP 32 bit, and 
Vista and Windows 7 32 and 64 bit have been 
tested.  The sound card element works with 
Mac OSX and Ubuntu 10.10 32- and 64-bit, but 
the frequency setting application has not 
been ported yet.

  I hope everyone is enjoying Mother's Day. Just a reminder that the May 
meeting is tomorrow evening 9 May 2011. We will have a presentation on 
NTS message handling, field day discussions, and a quick overview of the 
budget that will be finalized in June.

Also, work continues on our new repeaters. With a bunch of help from 
various people we now have a rack full of equipment and a number of our 
interface cables built up. I plan to be working on it further Saturday 
May 14th from 1100 - 1600 and possibly some on Sunday afternoon. There 
is work to be done for all skill levels and I encourage anyone with even 
a little interest to let me know and we'll make good use of your 
contributions. Upcoming work includes:
      1. Complete the interface cables
      2. Audio level adjustments in the controller
      3. QA on soldering and cabling done so far (2nd set of eyes never 
hurts)
      4. Documentation writing & Diagram drawing

After this work session we'll have a break, then hopefully get back to 
work on 4 June.

Message-ID: <4DC9290E.8070202@comcast.net>

If anyone is interested in providing a new home to a parabolic dish antenna,
I have one that is looking for adoption.

This is a Radiation Systems Inc P-21A72GF  ((S/N 165XXX).  This
was used for the 900MHz unlicensed band.

Dish is 75 inches in diameter and with the feed is 40 inches deep.

This was used in Queen Anne's County and removed back in 2007.
The county did not want the antenna so I kept it from the land fill.

Anyway, the dish is 4 miles west of Westminster, just off South
Pleasant Valley Rd.

Drop me an email if interested, 1st come 1 serve type of deal.

MARS actually no longer uses LSB.  All services, all bands are USB.  But for

I think we're talking about two different kinds of "grease."  One type is 
for use between a processor or transistor and a heat sink for good thermal 
conductivity.  The other is used between dissimilar metals to provide good 
electrical conductivity and ward off galvanic corrosion, between copper and 
aluminum for example.

Thanks to all who responded.  I am grounding/bonding my car for HF mobile,
and I want to put some conductive grease at the contact points of the
grounding straps,  probably overkill, but it cant hurt, especially since I
am taking a little paint off first.

AES sells a 4 oz. tube of Penetrox A for $19.95.  A bit expensive, I say.

How about using copper anti-seize? It's a colloidal copper compound,
quite conductive and cheap.

I believe Home Depot carries what your looking for? - Noalox Anti-Oxidant Compound

http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?keyword=noalox&langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053

Around $5 for 4 oz.

FYI - for those of us not at Dayton - this new rig is part of the buzz.  It 
literally looks like the rig disappeared and only the control head remains!  Not 
something I need right now - but very cool and leading edge.  


The hyperlink below goes straight to the video - you may need to right click to 
open the hyperlink.  


Meanwhile, enjoy the rig you have and the Spring time.

Yep.  Saw it at Dayton.  Nice looking rig.  Took a picture.

Elecraft also has a 500 watt linear available, kit is $1999.  A bit pricey, 
I say.  Talked to the guy who designed it.  He is a contractor working at 
Elecraft.  He says if this amp is successful, Elecraft will let him design a 
bigger one.

Message-ID: <4DDFD5BC.5000104@comcast.net>


I'd like to continue working on the repeater again tomorrow (Saturday). 
Plan to start about 10AM, everyone who wants to pitch in is welcome.

Activities include - finishing up the 2m interfacing (its working but 
messy), aligning some spare PA's that need to go into the current 
repeater, documentation and related work.

Thanks in advance.

Andy
