Some of you remember fellow PVRC/NC member Will/WJ9B who has been very
active setting up a big station in ID after leaving  FL.

Will remains very active, I typically work him at least once every
week (he returns to NC for CQWW CW).

Will just finished installing this rotating base:

Here is a picture of his 20M stack of two 20M4 yagis:

So don't be surprised to hear WJ9B in SS working east coast via call
districts ;-)

I bought a Griffin Powermate a few years ago and managed to use it for a  
few days when I had a Flex-1500.
I haven't used it since! So if you're interested in buying one, consider  
mine for $25. I have it in its plastic container, but don't have 
documentation  nor the mini-CD that came with it. I think all that can be gotten online.

Congratulations, Roland!  Great job.

While I like to contribute to the club, I've been on a "do more with less" 
kick the past couple years so for CW I've been in the "night light" (QRP) 
category.

My mailbox also had a NC Section winner certificate as a repeat of 2010. 
The difference in 2011 was the incredibly close race with Paul, AA4XX, with 
just a few points spread and as the pollsters say, "within the margin of 
error".

I'm sure Paul will be in there this year to try and prevent a "3-peat"!

The bad news is that I will probably be out of the country for my club 
contribution weekend, SS-SSB. My father in law will celebrate his 98th 
birthday in ZS3 November 18 and although he's in great shape, we never know 
how many more he has.

73,

Jim, K4QPL

I'm fixing a ct-17 and need the 5v regulator, its in a to-92(TA78L05) case all of radio shacks are
the large cases with the heat sink, the pins are to big and the case is to big. I can get it at
Jameco for $.25 but they want $8 shipping and handling.

I did a long overdue software upgrade of N1MM Logger yesterday. I did the full upgrade to version 12.xx that updates the most used files. It looks like the sec.dat file is up to date. It now includes the four new VE3 sections. I upgraded call history and wl_cty country files as well. I noticed there is a cqww.cty file that is dated 2007 that didn't upgrade and I can't find a version on the N1MM site. I assume this is used just for CQWW? Does anyone have a newer file they can share?

Are there any other files I need to update prior to CQWW and SS?

Message-ID: <CCAAF650.18B0E%rob.katz@thelegacycenter.com>

While we are hearing about the well-earned Sweepstakes certificates and
plaques that club members are receiving, the highly coveted and truly worthy
PVRC-NC Sweepstakes awards are also on their way!

The 2011 PVRC-NC Sweepstakes awards honor significant contributions to our
PVRC club score (and to our 4th win in a row last year!)

The ?2011 Most Improved Score? award goes to Marc W4MPS, with a nearly 30%
increase in his SSB score!  Along with his certificate, he will be receiving
a one-year subscription to NCJ.  Congratulations, Marc!

The ?2011 Rookie of the Year? award goes to Bob WX4G, with at terrific
first-time PVRC submission of over 150K in the SSB contest.

The ?Calloused Butt? awards, given to PVRC-NC ops with 12 or more
Butt-In-Chair hours in either contest mode, go to: WX4G, W4KAZ, WW4M, K4WES,
and K4TMC.

And, the most prized and honorable award is the ?Iron Butt? award, given to
ops with 18 or more Butt-In-Chair hours.  The following ops demonstrated
this highly level of dedication and well-developed butt muscles: W4MPS,
AA4XX, K4QPL, AA4FU, W0UCE, K4XO, N4AF, AD4L, N4GU, N1LN, AA4NC, and K4OV.

Kudos to all winning ops!

If you want bragging rights for what will be a much-envied 2012 version of
these awards, sit down for one or both contest modes this year, and don?t
get up until you?ve earned your award!  And once again, the most improved
score in CW and SSB will win a one-year NCJ subscription.  Are you up for
the challenge?

SS CW ? November 3, 2012
SS SSB ? November 17, 2012

In preparation for a repeat of the Iron Butt (conveniently matches my
head) I've begun my training regime of marathon viewings of Downton Abbey
on Netflix (I can almost stay awake through one episode already). I'm also
going for weekly Novacaine shots in both gluteus maxima. That's right. I'm
juicing.

My training regime to prepare for Sunday afternoon is to listen to 160m
static at full volume while banging my head against a brick wall. In
preparation for 75m and 20m phone, I'm listening to speed metal at full
volume while trying to write down the lyrics.

Can't wait!

I second that emotion. My cool certificate arrived yesterday. I was going to 
hang it with other "wallpaper" but figured that Jack probably had something 
better in mind. So, maybe I'll use it for additional padding in my chair for 
SSCW next weekend! Or maybe I'll hang it up after all...

This was on heck of a radio experience.

Special thanks to Will (AA4NC) and Liana for letting me invade their home to
use the station. The hospitality was excellent - as were the band conditions!

The bands just kept giving QSOs during the daytime and early night hours. This
was easily the highest sustained rates I have experienced. This was my first
real HP effort in WW SSB and while I had a blast, it was quite exhausting.

CW should be just as fun next month.

Station:

K3 with AL1200
MP with LK500

160M 1/4 vertical
80M Inverted vee at 120 feet
40M 2 elements at 130 feet
20M 4/4 (120 feet and 65 feet?)
15M 4 elements at about 100 feet
10M 6 elements at about 90 feet

73,

Nate/N4YDU

Just fooling around after getting a minimalistic tower and antenna back 
up.  QSO's mostly due to sunspots.

Thanks to Rob, K4OV for getting out the PVRCNC "Iron Butt" certificates for 2011 Sweepstakes. Great timing as I am just now contemplating how much "Monkey Butt" powder I'm going to need to get through both modes of SS 2012.

Thanks to "Grasshoppa" N4YDU (aka NR3X) for wringing out the station in CQWW SSB. Great job Nate - I believe that it was the most single op Qs ever from here in CQWW (and probably the highest score). Not only did he not break anything, it appears he actually fixed a rotator indicator that had been a bit squirrely lately. I think maybe exercising it probably scraped some corrosion off of the indicator pot.

Break out those special BIC devices and I look forward to working you along with the new ONS, ONN, ONE and GTA mults next weekend as we go for another PVRC win in SS.

73,

Will AA4NC / W4MR

Comments:

First contest attempt in a very long time.
Around 3 hrs. BIC, S&P only, near the end of the contest.
Celebrating the mysterious return of the 10 meter portion of my tribander,
while recovering from the tail end of the flu.
SOSB/10, no spots ... just me, my Sennheiser PC350, and my P3.
Oh, a K3/100, KPA500, and an Optibeam 16-3 @ 80'.

Subject: [PVRCNC] PVRC NC-East Chapter meeting for November
Message-ID: <508F2769.7000709@aol.com>

The PVRC-NC East chapter will hold its November meeting on Thursday Nov 
1st.  All Iron Butts, Callused Butts, Inquisitive Butts, Gafiated or 
Fafiated Butts, or otherwise generic contesting-oriented Butts are 
welcome to attend.

But no "but"'s or "Butt heads".  Fill up Manchesters with Butts.

Butts escaping from the FrankenStormOfTheMillenia are also welcome. 
Just in case your city of 10 million happens to be poorly located for 
current WX condx.

Date/Time/Location information available at http://pvrcnc.org/

And will wonders never cease?  Said source is even approximately 
correct.  At least as accurate as your average analog stopped clock.

Heck, we might even mention Sweepstakes.......not that any of you lot 
have any prospects of operating that event..... roight? ;)
