Alright fellas....all this talk about "little stations getting some paper" 
has finally driven driven me to join in this exchange.    The "LITTLEST 
station" (SO QRP SSB!) received a certificate a few days back as well which 
also included a "Division Leader" endorsement with the promise of a chunk of 
wood to arrive in the future!

It's great to see how many had fun in SS!   See ya'll on Thursday.

Message-ID: <468C242E.3080709@aol.com>

The PVRC/NC East Chapter will hold its regular meeting Thursday 7/5/7.

Everyone in the area is invited to hear the tingling tall tales, 
tantalizingly told, of epic victories won and cowering competitors 
crushed on the elevated ethereal aerials.  Brag all you want to on 
Thursday night, 7/5/7.  We are sure to hear fables of the Ghosts of 
Contests Past, Contests Present, and Contests Future.  What day? 
Thursday 7/5/7...

Don't forget, IARU is almost here.

Despite the fact that it is the day after the July 4th holiday, there 
WILL be a regularly scheduled PVRC/NC East chapter meeting on Thursday 
the 5th.  Don't let the chapter scribe near the 807's alone!  He's got a
bottle opener on his pocket knife.... [ Be Prepared! :o]

Where:
We meet at Manchester's Bar and Grill in North Raleigh.  Manchesters Bar
and Grill is located at 9109 Leesville Road, Raleigh  27613.
Manchesters is in the Pinecrest Shopping Center which is 0.8 miles south
on Leesville from the Leesville Road exit of I-540.

When:
The "official" meeting time is 6:00 pm, Thursday June 7th, but will
actually be whenever K4QPL decides to cut through the usual high level
of QRM.  Feel free to come a bit early to add to the QRM and quaff an
807....

So come one, come all.

I got 1st place NC SO HP SS phone, thanks mostly to the N4AF station. 
Thanks again, Howie.

We finally got my folks moved to Apex, but between tasks spun off from 
that, the job, family, etc, I haven't found any time for radio. I regret 
not being able to volunteer for IARU, but it's just not possible.

Congrats, Pete.

Looks like with the exception of SOLP Phone, (KZ2I) PVRC blanked the NC 
awards in both modes and all categories.

Understand re IARU, Pete. I think Will is going to have a good turnout at 
his place for the East contribution on phone and it looks like Howie will 
have enough to keep the RF moving on cw. Unfortunately, I'm in the same 
position and must be in Atlanta for a family commitment. I was really 
looking forward to being down at Howies to sign "W1AW/4".

ANNAPOLIS, Md. ? Steve Reeves is still wondering how thieves made off

Weighing 300 pounds and valued at $5,500,

That would make a heck of a mast for stacking antennas.

Comments:

That was fun!? Not much of a final score though due to my choice to just
"run'em" rather then hunt around for the HQ multipliers (the ones I worked 
are
included in my zone listing). Must of my runs were with North American 
stations
but there was a nice period into EU on 20m during one my visits to the 
contest!
I enjoy the run much more than the S/P so for me, this was it.? The 5 hours I
was one provided excellent rate and kept me quite busy.? I even had trouble
surfing the net and doing email in and around the Q's! :)? 

Thanks to all and I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the summer.? I can't
believe it's already mid-July.

Hi Guys,

All the expected bands were booming in here in Central Florida this
weekend. I was pleased to work W1AW/4 on 20m phone/cw, 40m phone/cw,
and 15m phone.

Henry, you guys were the loudest station on the band when I worked you
on 15m phone, but dropped out before I could figure out who the op
was. It might have been KU4BP, I'm not sure. I guess the band went
long.

80m was noisy from FL this weekend, so I didn't make any QSOs there,
so I was sorry to miss Gene and Tim, as well as another QSO with the
guys at N4AF.

Maybe next time. FYI, you guys were much easier to work than NU1AW.

Rcvd K4MA 40M SSB and W4WS 15/20M SSB logs. This brings us up to:
5913Q and 9 Million points.

Looking forward to adding WB4MSG 80M and AA4NC/NT4D logs to the above.
At this point the operation should top the 10Million mark.

WB4MSG has sent in 75M results and the d/b is updated.
We still are waiting on the AA4NC/NT4D results. I think that will be it.
Closing in on the magic 10Meg.
NOTE: the mults for fone are artificially low as the sections were
mostly already in the d/b for cw.

Wow is the word, Keith. Thanks for researching that. I don't mind a second 
behind K4OJ et al, but it would be nice if we could slide in over 'NA and 
George, K5TR and all those big-hatted Texans. Sorry, Bruce.

As for 20 SSB and 10 cw, "....the envelope, please"

The good news is we made 7868 QSOs !
The bad news is my initial 10M section count/score was way off.

--Did I miss any contributors calls ??

For the record, the individual ADIF files went to NJ1Q for integration
into LOTW and QSL data. Joe also requests any photos you may have
taken.
The XYL took some here but I have not had a chance to review.
If there are any errors, lemme know ASAP.

If you really want to see the sunspots clear as a bell look at points 
per QSO across the list. Note that W3LPL et al, 11 years ago, was 2.63 
vs. our 2.59 at the same point in the previous cycle.

Pts per Q would relate to whether the high bands were long, busy and 
had most of their QSO's out of the country.

Oh, well. Must learn not to get excited over preliminary reports.  This is 
more like what could realistically be expected.

More importantly, our "job" was to well represent the USA and ARRL in this 
contest. That has been done in an outstanding manner by all of the stations 
and operators which comprised W1AW/4. You can be proud of not simply the 
score, but that you provided mults and will give a W1AW QSL opportunity to 
thousands of hams throughout the world.

Special thanks to Howie for securing this unique opportunity and putting so 
much into it from his home QTH and to each of you who participated, whether 
in the organization, providing equipment, operating, or simply participating 
from your home QTH to add to the totals.

73,

Jim, K4QPL

Hi Rob- Yeah, it was a lot of fun.

Our score is going to come out slightly higher than what I first reported.

Sharp eyed K1ZZ noted I listed all 75M qso's as single pointers. Some
investigation shows I tried to directly import WB4MSG WL ADIF into
N1MM. WL has it's own format, need to use a generic cbr to adi utility
like CBR2ADIF first.

...you guys really cleaned up on 15 meters which was tough sledding up here.

Hat's off to the 75 and 40 meter phone ops for milking the bands!

Message-ID: <p06020405c2c41eab673a@[192.168.1.110]>

Has anybody successfully received a permit to install a ham tower in 
Orange County, NC?  If so, I'd love to get your input on what worked. 
I'm putting up a 70 foot tower this summer, and I'd like to get a 
permit in order to eliminate any neighborhood actions.  I'm now in 
the middle of the process with the Planning Department and it doesn't 
seem bad at all, but I want to be sure I don't make any missteps.

Thanks and 73,

Nice survey! :)

I like the idea of public logs...


Just so I understand, what is the purpose for making LCRs public?

Thus far I am opposed to forced public LCRs due to what is probably my 
misunderstanding of what the purpose would be.  My limited knowledge of LCRs leads 
me to believe that the only purpose of public LCRs would be to either a) brag  
about yourself  or b)embarass less skilled ops ... Neither seems to be in the 
best interest of the "whole."   Forced LCRs might actually motivate new/less 
skilled/struggling CW ops to avoid contests for fear of being rediculed.  

 What am I missing?

PVRCNC-East Chapter - July Meeting Notes
July 5th, 2007, Manchester's, Raleigh, NC, USA.

There were with fourteen members in attendance and two guests, one of 
whom was attending his second meeting. Jim, K4QPL welcomed Jose, EA5DFV, 
who joined us for dinner. Jose was in the area visiting family, and had 
taken the time to get in contact with some of the people in his log. 
K4QPL turned it over directly to member reports.

Around the Table

NT4D, Jay :  Jay reported on his trip to West Virginia for a Field Day 
outing with a group of old friends - with "no 'Skeeters"

EA5DFV, Jose :  Jose opened by joking that his only English was "five 
nine, one four". He is an avid SSB contester from his QTH in southern 
Spain, and both hosts and participates in many multi-op contests. Jose 
thanked us for inviting him to our meeting, and also joked that as host 
of Spain's 20 meter IARU SSB station(AM5HQ), he had a good opportunity 
to "spy" on W1AW/4 during a visit to AA4NC's station. He reported that 
he also has developed an interest in operating some of the US state QSO 
parties.

NX9T, Jeff, :  Jeff reported going out to Ron's, N4XD, for Field Day. 
He's been traveling a lot lately, so he's had little time to spare for 
operating, but expected to operate IARU from his home "intermittently" 
as time allowed.

Bill, K4CIA:  Bill worked only 1 QSO in Field Day, with N4Q. Bill was 
bemoaning the recent poor conditions on six meters, although he was able 
to work a KH6 on six meters.

WA4WGA, Ray, :  Ray was attending his second meeting, and was 
nominated,seconded, and inducted as a member of PVRC/NC Chapter. He 
reported operating Field Day in Ohio, where the club he visited was 
using a Gap Titan. He is soon to move to Ohio, but appreciated being 
made a member of the PVRC/NC group.

W4MY, Marty:  Operated Field Day with the Tar River club, using a new 
location for their operation. He thinks he's located a new 
contester(KI4QXS) and hopes to be bringing him along to future meetings 
when possible. Marty also was interviewed by WZAX-FM on the Friday 
before Field day(ed. note: You can download an MP3 of the interview at: 
http://www.zaxradio.com/audio/young-joyner.mp3 )

W4KAZ, Keith:  Kaz reported on the Field Day operation using the special 
event call sign N4Q. He presented K4CIA with his N4Q QSL card, 
recognizing that Bill was the only local member to log the once in a 
life-time(so far) event. The operation was conducted by N4YDU, N4PY, 
K4CZ, K9EZ, and W4KAZ, racking up a modest 2093 mostly CW QSO's for 
about 7800 points. Kaz noted he "didn't use his MyCrowFone" for any of 
his FD Q's.

NT4Q, Jerry:  Jerry , claiming to be the "Original 4Q", reported that 
his HF yagi was completed, and after many setbacks the tower was DONE. 
He'll be in Florida and will miss IARU

KA1ARB, Rob:  Rob reported that he expected to begin breaking ground to 
dig a BIG hole for the base for his self supporting tower.

W0UCE, Jack:  Jack reported that his 1st place award for the xy?z?a SSB 
contest had not arrived, and he was dissappointed.

N1LN, Bruce :  Bruce was happy to report that he and XYL Laurie had two 
of their three planned towers built, with one stack of rohn 45 left 
outstanding. He also still has plenty of work left after that mounting 
all of the antennas, but he's been chipping away at the project as his 
time allows. He's expecting a piece of heavy equipment to arrive soon 
that will make trenching for cabling a much easier task in the hard NC 
clay soil. He operated Field Day with the Orange county group, where 
they do a QRP battery operation as W4EZ.

N1YXU, Laurie :   Laurie has been operating as ground crew for all of 
the tower construction with Bruce. She has become comfortable with the 
work as her experience level increases.

K4WES, Wes:  Operated Field day as a 3A operation with WW4M, Jim. 
Expecting to operate during IARU.

AA4NC, Will :   Will made 20 Field Day QSOs, and is hosting the 20 and 
40 meter SSB stations for IARU. He has himself, NT4D, KA1ARB, and K4MA 
down as operators, and invited anyone interested to drop by the house to 
operate.

K4QPL, Jim:   Jim operated Field Day with the CARS group again, where 
they logged about 1800 QSO's, and he thinks he may have found a K5 there 
who liked the idea of contesting. He's got a conflict with his plan to 
operate at N4AF for IARU with a family event, and the family event will 
probably win out.

K2AV, Guy:   Operated 1E for a bit during Field Day for fun, was looking 
towards the IARU operation at N4AF.

There was also a discussion of IARU. The stations will be registered by 
Howie with the ARRL, as the W1AW callsign is given with the permission 
of ARRL, via its trustee K1ZZ, David Sumner, and N4AF, Howie is 
responsible for the station assignments.
The current expectations for assignments are as follows, as of 06/07/07:

     * CW 160 --N4AF
     * CW 80 --N4AF
     * CW 40 --N4AF

Message-ID: <46A14186.7080103@aol.com>

Okay.  I'd like to extend a big round of applause to Howie.

I know that by today he has probably spent more time debugging log file 
issues and log file formats than the 24 hours he actually spent 
operating the contest.  (OK, maybe not, but I'll bet it FEELS that way.) 
But the truth is that combining logs from different sources is less easy 
than it could be.

But he sent me the following today for publication on the chapter web 
site.  So unless Howie has turned up more bugs in the data/logging 
programs during the day today, the corrected score last reported is as 
shown below.

The new corrected-corrected-corrected score is a bit lower, but probably 
more accurate.  The log scoring robot will sort it out now.

I still think this is FB for the bottom of the cycle.

73,
W4KAZ

Keith, W4KAZ, and myself will be active from the Core Banks (NA 067) this weekend as N4A for the IOTA contest. We will be on 80-10 meters and six meters on CW and SSB prior to the start of the contest at 12Z Saturday. During the contest we will also be on both modes. We hope to be QRV before the sun sets on Friday afternoon. We will leave the island at noon on Sunday.

This is a TREMENDOUS  deal for anyone generating high volume
qsos--especially if you are not a collector.

Jeff (Forsythe Co, NC) will print photo qsl's for you at no cost and
act as your manager.!!

Something tells me I will be more active now...

73, Howie
Very good Howie
   Thanks very much! There will be no  cost to you Howie. I will also
need to print up some cards. Do you have any  particular type of card
you want? A picture? Plain ? Whatever you want is  fine.
I will notify the buro that I will be taking the  qsl responsibilty as
soon as I get the logs. No doubt some will still make it to  you that
are already in the buro system.
I also ask that you please update me with the logs  every couple
months or so if required, or after any contest. And if you know of
any other contesters ( DX or Stateside ) please refer them to me if
they would  like a qsl manager.
Thanks again!
Jeff - ai4u

Subject: [PVRCNC] PVRC/NC Meeting Thursday August 2nd
Message-ID: <46AE1210.90300@aol.com>

As the calendar turns, it is yet again nearly time for the PVRC/NC East 
chapter to gather, compare notes, quaff an 807, QRM the room, and 
agonize over the always challenging and entertaining monthly W0UCE Paper 
Contest Event.

The meeting is open to anyone with a "serious interest in competitive 
radio contesting".  And thats a good thing, because if it were only for 
those "with a proven ability in competitive radio contesting" you'd be 
looking for a new scribe!  But I'm loaded with "serious interest".  HA! :)

Hell, I might even get the minutes right this week.  Stranger things 
have happened.

Where:
We meet at Manchester's Bar and Grill in North Raleigh.  Manchesters Bar
and Grill is located at 9109 Leesville Road, Raleigh  27613.
Manchesters is in the Pinecrest Shopping Center which is 0.8 miles south
on Leesville from the Leesville Road exit of I-540.


When:
The "official" meeting time is 6:00 pm, Thursday August 2nd, but will
actually be whenever K4QPL decides to cut through the usual high level
of QRM.  Feel free to come a bit early to add to the QRM and quaff an 
807....

So come one, come all.

Fellow PVRCers:

I just inherited a big box of radio/electronics hardware.  Nuts, Bolts,
Knobs, Tweakers, Binding Posts, etc. etc. etc.  and I am bringing the whole
lot to Thursday Evening's Meeting and will put bags of goodies on tables.
First come; first serve on the goodies...

Should you want any goodies please bring along some sandwich bags to put
goodies in and help yourself.  

There will be a Shriner's Hospital for Children Kitty Kup on the table if
you care to make a donation for whatever "goodies" you to drag home it will
be appreciated.  

73,
Jack
