Comments:

Nice to get a lot of well know callsigns.
I spend some time calling on 15m and I get some answers from FL, but
nothing from NC.
It was very interesting to find open the path in 40 and 80m before 23:00z here.
See you soon in the ARRL DX SSB as ED5T

Additional NC East Chapter meeting data....

Besides the 1pm Hawaiian time start and the expected duration of two ISS 
orbits, I have it on very good authority the distance from the 
Smithsonian Station on the Metro can be delineated as approximately 
9129.5 femtoParsecs.

Doing another arithmetic conversion, since 1 femtoParsec is 
approximately equal to a standard G5RV, the distance from the 
Smithsonian metro station can also be approximated as 9130 G5RV's.  Give 
or take a few "Varneys".

FWIW, if anyone leaves the meeting immediately after the two ISS orbits 
and drives directly to New Orleans, you will arrive in time to get a 
full night's rest before the first of the parades on Mardi Gras weekend, 
which is probably a better choice than going on Fat Tuesday itself.

Just be careful which half of the French Quarter you explore.  Exposure 
of body parts varies by GPS coordinate from west to east.  Outside the 
French Quarter, ring-mail is advised to ward off bladed weapons. :o

Fellow Tar Heel PVRC'ers,

Sorry I won't be able to join you tonight--I've got babysitting duties 
for one of my grandsons.

I will CU for the April meeting, though.  Rob has asked me to share some 
of my experiences with
QRP contesting for next month's mtg, and I was wondering if anyone might 
have a computer projector
that I could use for the presentation.  If so, pse let me know.

Played for a couple hours Saturday and a couple  hours Sunday for a grand 
total
of 5.5 hours on the air.  All in  all...not bad considering all the 
activities
that the family had planned for  the weekend! Great to hear 10m active with 
sigs
coming in from SA, EU and  AF.  Lots of QRM on 15 and 20m makes it tough to 
find
space to operate  as a smaller station but that's all part of the game!  
Best
wishes to  all...73 and DX!

Everyone,

I've uploaded a couple of changes to the 5M pages.

First, the Season-to-Date page:  http://www.pvrc.org/5M/5MYTD.php  now shows
your overall rank.  Thanks to Wayne, N1WR, for the suggestion.

Second, the 5M Program Rules have been updated to replace the old MS Word
DOC file with a PDF file.  The content should be essentially the same, but a
few sections were reworded and the way Single and Multi Ops are scored was
split into two sections.  The updated file can be found here:

Sounds like the fabled Macho Quesew may have met his demise (although it didn't mention anything about him wearing a Mexican wrestling mask). I wonder what kind of antenna work he may have been doing??

Man found dead near top of 1,000-foot radio tower in Oak Park

Published: Tuesday, March 08, 2011
  By Michael P. McConnell
Daily Tribune Staff Writer

OAK PARK, California ? Police are investigating the death of a man whose
body was found near the top of a 1,000 foot radio broadcast tower Tuesday.

The man was reportedly wearing only a T-shirt and underwear when he was
discovered on a platform on the tower.

Police said workers discovered the body of a young man about 12:30 p.m.
after they scaled the tower at 20931 Meyers near Eight Mile Road to do
repair work.

?They found the body at the top of the tower,? said Oak Park Deputy Public
Safety Director Steve Cooper. ?We have not identified him yet.?

Cooper said investigators would have a better idea of what may have killed
the man after an autopsy is done Tuesday by the Oakland County Medical
Examiner.

There were no obvious signs of violence on the body such as stab or gunshot
wounds, police said.

?We?re not ruling anything out as to the cause of death,? Cooper said.

This fellow is a ham and has an extensive line of connectors, I see he has some "clamp on" and crimp
on. I have bought crimp on and the are good quality.

Anyone close by have either the accessory coil set used with an MFJ antenna 
analyzer to make a resonance "dipper" or something equivalent to determine 
resonance I can borrow for a couple days? Want to make an 80-40 portable 
trap antenna per February '11 QST. I've got the MFJ box, just don't have the 
"dipper" coils.

Thanks & 73,

Jim, K4QPL

I'm posting this for a friend. Please contact  him (K4ITL), not me (Bert, 
N4CW)!

I have a FTDX5000D for  sale.  This radio was purchased in early November 
and probably has no  more than 50 hours of use.  The radio is as new, comes 
with the Sm-5000  station monitor, hand microphone, and 6 KHZ roofing 
filter.

Asking Price is $4,300.  I might consider a trade of another sellable HF  
transceiver of lower value if someone is interested in trading  up.

Comments:

I stayed out too late the night before to put in a ton of time. I did have a
good time in between naps! I ran just one rig while operating, which is a more
relaxing way to operate for me. The highlight was working the many UA0/UA9
stations late night on 20M both CW and SSB. The signals were incredible.

Message-ID: <4D91D52A.3090906@aol.com>

Although it would seem like its "about time" for the NC East meeting and 
April is right around the corner, the first thursday in April is April 
7th - NEXT WEEK.

For those who missed the interesting condx during wpx SSB due to work, 
family, or essessbeee antipathy , you should be able to catch another 
round of good propagation contesting on Friday with the Poisson d'Avril 
Contest.  see http://www.freewebs.com/poissondavril/

This year's Poisson d'Avril contest is introducing a few innovative 
rules changes.  K1DG will be entertaining cash offers rather than 
declaring himself the winner.  Highest bid wins.  Be sure to read the 
rules and click on the "current bid" tab.

Unfortunately the Poisson d'Avril has not yet been made 5M award eligible.

So don't be fooled.....the April meeting will be on Thursday April 7th. 
  Rumor has it we will have a program by AA4XX covering QRP and possibly 
some related home QTH backup/battery/solar power topics, [unless outside 
events as yet unknown interfere]. Tnx Paul!
