9/30/09
To all our loyal members, as you heard our two meter and two  twenty 
repeaters will be taken down from our commercial site this Saturday Oct.  3rd.
THERE HAS BEEN A LAST MINUTE CHANGE 
We have to take it DOWN Thursday morning (10/01) .
 Try our back up machine - that has a PL of 151.4.  
We have made arrangement with the Raritan Valley Radio Club to use their  
WQ2W repeater on 146.625 
(?600) with a PL of 141.3 while our repeater is off the air. 
We will run our Wednesday night net on the W2QW repeater.  
As soon as I have information on a new site for our two repeaters I will  
let you know. 
If you have any questions E-mail me at  kb2llm at juno.com

Thank You
Rich Sandy- Technical Director

In checking with the FCC web site, this radio manufacturer does not have a 
type acceptance issued nor an application pending. Get 'em while they're hot 
because I suspect the FCC will be after them.

Not to my knowledge, nor does it have to be. It's being sent from Hong Kong, 
where the FCC has no jurisdiction.

One correction; any and all electronic/radio equipment sold in the U.S.A. 
MUST be 'type accepted' by the FCC. Except for devices that are, "Not 
intentional radiators" (ie., receivers, computers, TV's, most remote 
wireless devices like X-10 are covered under 'PART 15') are covered under 
part 15 and need only certification from the manufacturer that they meet 
those standards.
No amateur radio or commercial two-way radio equipment can be sold in the 
U.S.A. without having gone through FCC certification process.
So when the FCC is made aware of these devices, the dealers here will be 
forced to stop selling, some or all of the merchandise may be confiscated 
and dealers may be fined if it is proven that they were aware of the fact 
that the devices were not legal.

Marv - Knowning what I do now, I retract any statement made by me or for me 
as to their purchase. I would advise to wait until they are FCC accepted.

I've already broken mine up and left it for the trashman who just came about 
ten minutes ago!

I would suspect that if someone stateside became a distributor and the
radios are not FCC approved, the distributor would be liable to prosecution.
 I'm not a lawyer, but this is my suspicion.  73,

It is no longer necessary to dial the d

Just dial the node number to connect, and 73 to disconnect.

IF you forget and use the d it still will work.

As with any change, let me know if any problems arise.

If you need AA or AAA batteries (believe it or not, it's not altogether too far away 'till Christmas)* ShopRite has a sale this week on Kodak Ultra-Life AA and AAA batteries.

24 pack for 2.99 which is about $ .13 cents each.  I've used Kodak in my HT's and they provide almost as much use as DuraCell.

Subject: [RVRC] 70cm interference
Message-ID: <9C9B7648D83B4B2C9AD35BF5D32DA300@marvbronsPC>

Potential new interference to 70cm (420 ~ 450 MHZ) amateur* band.  Repeaters in Alabama, Georgia experiencing totally disabling conditions at some times.
Seems to be spreading around the world.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Military radiolocation system to operate on 70 cm

As described in Schedule I of RBR-4, amateur usage of the 430-450 MHz (70 cm) band is on a no-protection, non-interference basis. Amateurs may not cause interference to nor be protected from interference from stations licensed in other services operating in that band. The same is true in the United States, and amateur operations on this band in a number of areas of the United States have power limits imposed on them in order to avoid interference to radiolocation services operated by the US military.

Industry Canada has informed Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) that it has authorized the Department of National Defence to use a digital system called Enhanced Position Location Reporting System (EPLRS) on these frequencies. The EPLRS system consists of mobile, fixed, transportable and airborne stations that use 5 MHz-wide spread spectrum channels to provide strategic telemetry information for military platforms. This authorization is on a no-protection, non-interference basis, which means that no new restrictions will be imposed on Canadian amateur operations in this band as a result.

Industry Canada has informed RAC that there is a slight potential for interference to amateur radio systems, typically in the form of a minor audible clicking noise. If Canadian amateurs encounter such interference, they are requested to report it to RAC at regulatory @ rac.ca. The information reported should include the geographical location, date, time, frequency and mode being used by the amateur station, and a description of the interference.

Questions or concerns regarding the planned implementation of EPLRS may be sent to regulatory @ rac.ca.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 Tucson Arizona EPLIRS 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have experienced the spread sprectrum signal of this system in the repeater areas of the band. It is quite the irritant for analog 70cm repeater owners.

It does not seem to bother the D-STAR repeaters at all. 

The military has indicated nothing about any interference from the amateur side of the equation. The Tucson area has been "enjoying" this signal for about two-ish years now.

Tnx,
AK7AR 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
There's a similar system operating in the Washington DC area. Just as Industry Canada noted, the effect is a lot of frequent "clicking" in a typical FM passband. If you put a spectrum analyzer into peak hold mode over the 420 - 450 MHz band, it will build up a good picture of the individual wideband carriers after 15 minutes or so. The noise is definitely annoying when trying to monitor amateur satellites and other weak signals. Amateurs are secondary to military radiolocation in this band, but there's no allocation for military comm links, so if this system is being used for communications, then we may have some potential protection (in theory at least...).

Please Pass this email on to anyone I might have missed...

THE LOGISTICS:

Fred/K2FEF - bringing radio (HF/VHF- mulitband/multimode), power supply, 2
car batteries, small screwdriver antenna - able to cover 2m down to 80
(partial - depends on swr's) and folding table. I will also be bringing a
bucket truck (for stringing antenna's) and helium balloons. All I need is
electric (or I can battery operate at 20 watts). Will update whatever else I
can think of (or find) in the next couple of days, and ask others do the
same.

Roger/K4KAK - bringing generator (RV), and digital station

Bill/KI4SMP - bringing


(please add your name and info to this list if you are bringing something
other than yourself, and spam it forward... You can cut off the below
portion when REPLYING TO ALL) 

............................................................................
..........

General Info :  Please Pass this email on to anyone I might have missed...


1st of all - this is (from our Ham point of view), a Field Day type of event
As you know, we will be setting up in a parking lot, with only 4 or so light
poles to string dipoles (or whatever) from, and a couple of 12' trees...

2nd'ly, this is a GOTA (Get On The Air) event (since it is for the public at
large)

3rd'ly, Someone (not Me !) might want to make up some flyers with regards to
club meeting dates, times and locations - as well as any sources of info,
tech classes, testing dates - whatever!.  Since we have Don (from Somerset,
AC4DM) giving of his time as well, I should think it only fair that the
available flyers come from any club wanting to distribute them, not just the
sponsoring club. 

4th'ly - Anyone attending will need to be Control Op for their station. Logs
of station operators/times, contacts, at Control Op's discretion.

(BTW - there is a Scout Leader Training event going on in Somerset at the
same time, so attendance may be affected by a small number of boys that have
to go with their parents (scout leaders) to that training event). Future
events (if held) might see an increase in attendance...

Now for some background Info....

Message-ID: <8BCEB83A4A694C1CB188CF70B54DF9B3@marvbronsPC>



 Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator....The  Tongue 






          INFORMATION  EVERYONE SHOULD  KNOW........................ 

          Blood Clots / Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator,  

           the Tongue 

   

    

  STROKE: Remember  the 1st Three Letters.... S. T. R.  

    

  STROKE  IDENTIFICATION: 

    

  During a BBQ, a friend  stumbled and took a little fall - she assured  everyone that she was fine (they offered to call  paramedics) .she said she had just tripped over  a brick because of her new shoes. 

    

  They  got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of  food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid  went about enjoying herself the rest of the  evening 

    

  Ingrid's husband called later  telling everyone that his wife had been taken to  the hospital - (at 6:00  pm  Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the  signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with  us today. 
   
          Some don't die. they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. 

            

          It  only takes a minute to read this... 

            

          A  neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke  victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the  effects of a stroke...totally. He said  the trick was getting a stroke recognized,  diagnosed, and then getting the patient  medically cared for within 3 hours, which is  tough. 

            

          RECOGNIZING A STROKE 

            

          Thank  God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR. 
           
          Read and Learn! 

            

          Sometimes symptoms of a  stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately,  the lack of awareness spells disaster. The  stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage  when people nearby fail to recognize the  symptoms of a stroke. 

            

          Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three  simple questions: 

            

          S *Ask  the individual to SMILE. 

          T *Ask  the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE  (Coherently) 

          (i.e. It is sunny out  today.) 

          R *Ask  him or her to RAISE BOTH  ARMS. 

            

          If  he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these  tasks, call emergency number immediately  and describe the symptoms to the  dispatcher. 

            

          New  Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue 

            

          NOTE:  Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the  person to 'stick' out his tongue.. 
           
          If the tongue  is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the  other,  
            
          that is  also an indication of a  stroke. 

            

          A  cardiologist says if everyone who gets this  e-mail sends it to 10 people; 
           
          you can bet that  at least one life will be saved.  

            

          I  have done my part. Will  you?

 It is with great sadness that I have to inform the community of a
 tragic accident this morning at 630am EST

 The C6APR team, consisting of Pete, W2GJ, Ed, K3IXD, Randy K4QO and
 Dallas W3PP were all killed this morning as their aircraft crashed on
 take-off from Summerville Airport, SC on their way to Crooked Island,
 Bahamas. They were on their way to operate in the CQWW contest this
 weekend.

 Our thoughts are with their families in this tragic time!

 More as it made available!

       Club Log - North American DXers wanted 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Hi all,

      I'm writing to encourage more North American DXers to take part in Club Log. As I write today only 13.3% of the 13 million QSOs in the Club Log database are from North America (Europe has over 60%). I'd very much like to balance things out, and warmly invite any DX chasers in North America to take part, and restore the balance!

      If you're not familiar with Club Log, it's a web site for generating DXCC band-mode league tables, log search tools, analysis for DXpedition planning purposes and most wanted lists for DXCC entities. It could help you with propagation charts, the ability to find "wanted" DX spots, and identification of QSLing gaps. It might also help you run a health check on your log - you'll see when you upload your file if there are any problems to report!

      The address is: www.clublog.org

      You can read more about Club Log here: http://www.clublog.org/about.php, and if you think it would be of interest to you, then you can sign up free here: http://www.clublog.org/signup.php

      Thanks and 73,
      Michael G7VJR

      Creator of Club Log

      PS. If you have worked one of the significant expeditions taking place in the last few weeks (FT5GA, K4M, ZY0T) you may already have come into contact with Club Log, which provides the leaderboards, propagation tools and log search. Over one million log searches have been run in the past few weeks (it has been a busy DX season).

I had a brief QSO with Alan W2AEW this AM on 7.212 MHz - he wasn't very
loud, but very readable.  He was in the parking lot at the place he was
going to visit, waiting for someone to show up.

I put a call out on the repeater but no one else popped on the frequency.
Had a nice chat with Kurt KR2C from Flemington, who said he listens to the
repeater a lot and comes to our hamfest (a new member one day perhaps!)  73,

PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPTON NY
600 AM EDT WED OCT 28 2009

...THIS IS WINTER WEATHER AWARENESS WEEK...

PLEASE JOIN THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AND THE NEW YORK STATE
DISASTER PREPAREDNESS COMMISSION IN PROMOTING WINTER WEATHER
EDUCATION INCLUDING SAFETY.

TODAY'S THEME IS ICE STORMS.

FREEZING RAIN IS LIQUID RAIN THAT FALLS WHEN SURFACE TEMPERATURES
ARE AT OR BELOW 32 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. THE RAIN FREEZES UPON IMPACT
WITH OBJECTS AND THE GROUND CREATING A LAYER OF ICE. WHEN THE LAYER
OF ICE ACCUMULATES TO AT LEAST ONE HALF INCH THICK...THE WEIGHT OF
THE ICE CAN DOWN TREE LIMBS...POWER LINES AND COMMUNICATION TOWERS
AS WELL AS CAUSE WIDESPREAD IMPACT TO MASS TRANSIT. THIS DEFINES AN
ICE STORM.

HOWEVER...IT MUST BE NOTED THAT ONLY A TRACE OF FREEZING RAIN CAN
PRODUCE A GLAZE OF ICE OVER ROADS...WHICH CAN CAUSE SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT TO MASS TRANSIT...ESPECIALLY IF IT OCCURS DURING THE RUSH
HOURS.

ALTHOUGH ICE STORMS OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY FROM NORTHERN NJ ACROSS
THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY AND INTERIOR SOUTHWEST CONNECTICUT...THEY
CAN OCCUR ALONG THE COAST.

DURING JANUARY 15TH AND 16TH 1998...THE COMBINATION OF A STRONG HIGH
PRESSURE SYSTEM TO OUR NORTH AND A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING OFF
THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST...PRODUCED UP TO 1 INCH OF ICE ACROSS THE
LOWER HUDSON VALLEY AND INTERIOR SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT. ICE COVERED
ROADS LED TO WIDESPREAD AND SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS THAT
RESULTED IN MANY INJURIES. MANY TREE LIMBS AND POWER LINES WERE
DOWNED...WHICH CAUSED SIGNIFICANT POWER OUTAGES.

DURING JANUARY 1994...AT LEAST 4 SIGNIFICANT ICING EVENTS OCCURRED
FROM THE 4TH THROUGH THE 28TH.

THURSDAY'S STATEMENT COVERS WINTER FLOODS.

Many of you participated in last years event run by the repeater  in
Notingham, UK (home of Robin Hood)

It will be on Nov 20th, times to be determined.

The Hams will be making a donation for each contact.

So  we want to cost them a bunch.

Check out the photos I posted at http://www.gjurrens.com/oragallery of the
tower work party today.  If you took photos that you would like me to
include, and/or if you would like to clarify the captions on any of mine,
please drop me an email, thanks!

For my RVRC friends, John Crovelli W2GD, who recently performed a series of
maintenance activities on our repeater tower is our contractor on this
project as well.

Good group today!  We sure got the job done quickly and safely!  Thanks,
John, and everyone who showed up!

73,

GJ
