To date I have only myself and 1 other member willing to step up to the plate. I would really like at LEAST 3 or more. If we want to keep the hobby alive then we NEED to be visible to our communty and let them know what we are about and that we are proud of our hobby and our club. Please respond by Sunday October 10 so I have a head count of how many will be volunteering and what duties you are signing up for so I can provide further details.

 73 es cu in the pileups de Mike N2YBB
 ----------------------------------------------------------

 Get ready -- new Caribbean DXCC entities are on the way!

 By H. Ward Silver, N0AX

 No, it?s not a colorized re-release of a 1960s B-grade beach movie.
 On Sunday, October 10, five islands in the Caribbean are all changing
 their governmental status at the same time: Saba, St Eustatius,
 Bonaire, St Maarten and Curacao. Known collectively as the Netherlands
 Antilles, these islands have up to now been an autonomous part of the
 Kingdom of the Netherlands. Some will remain within the Netherlands as
 ?special municipalities? and some will become independent nations
 within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, just as the island nation of
 Aruba did back in 1986. For more on the history of these islands, read
 the Wikipedia entry, Dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles.

 What this means for the HF bands is a lot of interference as the new
 DXCC entities are born. As described in a recent ARRL Web story, two
 DXCC entities (the island pair of Bonaire & Curacao and the
 three-island group of St Maarten, Saba and St Eustatius) will be
 deleted from the DXCC list of active entities and be replaced by up to
 five new entities!

 It is extremely unusual for this amount of geopolitical rearrangement
 to occur simultaneously, and as you might imagine, DXers around the
 world are getting ready to put those new entities in their logs on as
 many bands and modes as possible. At least eight stations are planning
 on being active, so the bands ?might? be a little crowded for the
 first few days.

 Just as when the Olympics come to town, the happiest residents will be
 those who plan ahead. If you?re not planning on joining the throng
 chasing the infant entities, you should probably make up a ?Plan B?
 for your schedule or net (actually, you should always have a Plan B, but
 that's a subject for another article).

 DXing activity tends to take place low in the band segments for a
 particular mode, so moving higher in frequency is probably the best way
 to avoid the pileups. CW operators will have to dodge digital DXers at
 the high end of the usual CW haunts, but don?t forget that CW can
 operate pretty much anywhere and there will surely be useable spectrum
 just below the phone segments or below the DXpedition transmit
 frequencies. And if QRM is upsetting, this might be a good time to work
 down the chore list or read that copy of War and Peace. Regardless of
 your preferences, planning ahead is definitely the way to go.

 If you haven't tried DXing, the island stations will be loud and clear
 from almost anywhere in North America. After the initial pileups thin
 out a bit -- it will take a few days, realistically -- even very modest
 stations will be well-positioned to work that rarest of DX, a New One!
 You may find yourself enjoying the competition and there will surely be
 colorful QSLs to collect. Listen to the instructions of the DX operators
 and once you?ve got the hang of operating split and finding where the
 DX stations are listening, have at it! Caution -- DXing has been known
 to turn into a lifetime of fun!

 Okay, you DXers -- just because there are New Ones afoot, that doesn't
 magically suspend the rules. Listen before you transmit and be sure to
 stay within your US allocations. For example, 21.195 MHz is outside the
 US phone band, no matter how loud the DX station may be! With so many
 chasing the DX, there will surely be frustrating moments of confusion
 -- keep calm and resist the urge to ?help.? You'll eventually get
 through!

 Wow -- this is a once in a lifetime occurrence on the ham bands, so
 make it enjoyable by using some know-how and personality. You'll be
 able to recount the stories of October 10, 2010 for a long time.

 Make them good ones!

So, is it a dual band or multi-band? (like some are speculating)??? Is it going to be like the HTs where you choose 2M/220 or 2M/440 ?

The forums in WorldwideDX.com are speculating a price somewhere between $150 - $200.? For that price, I'd buy a 2M/220 version and just keep it on 220 in the car and let it coexist with my Icom dual bander.

If the spec sheet can be trusted it is multiband with crossband repeat
capability. It seems you can only monitor 2  of the bands at once. This
should be an interesting product particularly to the competition.

and see all types of equiptment on display. Things like police cars,
firetrucks, rescue trucks, race boats alot of construction equiptment, race
cars, tractor trailers, classic cars and even a State Police helicopter
landing in the parking lot at 2pm. The best part is it's all hands on. Kids
can touch and play with everything like sirens and air horns. It takes place
in the Lakewood Blueclaws Stadium (directions here)

Members,

Anyone wishing to see the demo of the new Uniden HomePatrol-1 should show up to the fire academy a little bit earlier than normal.

I'm well-aware that the device has a 'target audience', and that there will be club members that will have no interest in seeing this device (so I do not want to take up time during the regular business meeting).

I will be at the academy by approx 7:15pm - see you all on Wednesday!

To All,

 

                If anyone has been listening/using UHF today, you will have
undoubtedly noticed that the de-sense that Paul had spoken of at the meeting
has already begun.

 

                The officers & tech committee have made the decision to
repair the UHF antenna this coming week at the same time that the VHF
antenna is re-installed on the tower. This will add approx. $200-$300 to the
original cost discussed at the September meeting to finish all the repairs
(above ground).

 

                Waiting to do this work will incur charges over $1000 for a
second climb. The work will proceed in this manner:

 

1.       Commercial Tower will bring down the UHF antenna first, then bring
up the already-repaired VHF antenna.

2.       In the time it takes to re-install the main VHF antenna, Paul,
Bruce, & Mike (WA2AM) will clean & repair the UHF antenna.

3.       Commercial Tower will then re-install the UHF antenna to its
original location.

 

If anyone has any questions or concerns on this matter, feel free to contact
Mike, Eric, or myself. With the tower team scheduled to come by (or before)
Wednesday, 10/20, we have little time to spare.

 

Respectfully, 

 

Scott, W2SJW

To All,

 

                If anyone has been listening/using UHF today, you will have
undoubtedly noticed that the de-sense that Paul had spoken of at the meeting
has already begun.

 

                The officers & tech committee have made the decision to
repair the UHF antenna this coming week at the same time that the VHF

	Repeater Director in Tennessee
Message-ID: <004301cb6ed6$f17dc7c0$6501a8c0@junk>

Webs Form ResponseTo All Member:

I came across an impressive repeater site in Tennessee (link below) and noted that their DB-224 antenna was heli-arc welded.  I think our antenna is a similar DB product?  I posed a question to the director of their repeater about the idea and here is the response...

It may be worth considering if our antenna has what he describes....

Hello Henry,
I have fixed up a few DB-224 antenna's thru the years the main thing is for a repeater is all the parts of the antenna need to be rigid! nothing loose. what happens on the older antennas is the rivet that holds the loop on becomes loose so you need to heli-ark weld all the elements at that joint, even if it isn't loose yet it will get that way in time! Then i would wrap the joints with a weather seal. If you have any older antennas that does not have molded ends on the harness where it attaches to the antenna elements you should buy a new harness and change it out! Those antennas are the only real lightning proof antennas around! I am not sure why yours devoloped corrosion around the joints so fast, is there a nearby chemical plant or industry? 
My son lives in Knoxville, Tenn. and is a welder he can fix those elements for you!

              I came across your web site describing the repeater system and noted the accolades given to your son for "heli-arc welding a DB-224 antenna back to life." 

              I am a member of a local repeater club (RVRC) in NJ, which has some similarity to your impressive repeater network, We have a 3 year old DB-224 antenna which developed corrosion problems in the assembly joints. I suggested to the club that after cleaning it up and adjusting it electrically, we could weld the antenna joints instead of trying to use vapor-wrap, upon reinstallation. 

              My question to you.. Is this what you did to maximize the maintenance free longevity of the antenna installation on the tower? Do you recommend that we weld the joints or did you do something else to resurrect your DB-224 antenna? 

              Your technical response would be appreciated, as I will report it to the club members. 

              Thanks for your consideration.

A friend just retired and gave me the old PDAs that he must have had in his
desk: 2 with Palm OS, one with Windows 
CE.  I know that people repurpose these things for electronic jobs like
audio spectrum analyzers.  Anyway for $10 I'll box them up and ship them to
any interested RVRC member or other enthusiast.

Message-ID: <AANLkTincN=Vv8UoM5HE2_gqnosXnA1itQkJHtJRetqS2@mail.gmail.com>

Thank you to the following for joining me at N2ARC today to repair the 75
meter antenna:

Gary K2GW
Bob WA2BSP
Alan W2AEW

We got started around 11 AM and finished up around 1:30 PM or so...but, we
not only got the 75 meter antenna re-assembled and working again, we also
now have a working 80-10 meter, multi-band antenna that looks like it will
load up pretty well on all bands!  It's an Alpha-Delta DX-CC I believe. We
hung one end off the rope on the pulley we are using for center of the 75
meter inverted vee.  We took the coax that was going to the Hustler 5-BTV
vertical and re-purposed it.

Speaking of the Hustler vertical - if anyone is interested in this antenna,
please contact me off-list and I'll discuss the details with you.  It looks
like it's in decent shape, and it has the radial kit on it.  We would like
to sell it and put the money towards a "New Crank-up Tower Fund" we would
like to start.  I don't care if I never have to climb that awful tower
again!  <G>

The roof is now clear of all detritus, we have two working HF antennas, and
the only tower project left is to install the new 47.42 MHz antenna atop the
tower.  For that, we'll definitely need a bucket truck (or the like) -
hopefully we can make some arrangements between now and the time the Red
Cross really needs it!

So, bottom line is we'll be able to participate in the NJ State RACES nets
on Monday on all the bands we've traditionally used for this purpose,
including 75 meters.  Thanks to all who helped!  Great job!

73,

Eric,
 
I'm more concerned that Dave, VE7LTD can make a statement that repeaters can't be controlled by using a system such as AllStar. I don't think the FCC Rules require more than a Control Operator without specifying that it be by telephone lines or someone physically going out to the repeater site to shut it down, repair it,  turn it back on again, etc., we would still be in control of the system. Now that we have technology to do it over the internet and VoIP protocals, I don't think he has the capacity to interpret an internet control op as he is thinking he can.

What we alll need to remember is allthough we disagree with dave it is his
system and as such can make any rules he likes to be apart of it, if we
don't want to follow then we just don't be part of his system. Many other
irlp nodes are being abandon due to this move. I agree with eric if we need
to chose good by irlp.

Subject: [RVRC] Re; IRLP and internet access
Message-ID: <27DE58AA80FE41C4AA312263AA804383@marvbronsPC>

Members,

The basis upon which Dave has made his determinations regarding IRLP and the internet is simply that IRLP was and remains strictly a "Repeater Linking Project".  His determination was and is against internet access directly into the system.  Dave's insistence on not allowing the kind of 'control' we now have on RVRC repeaters is to maintain that design criteria that the internet was only to be the 'link' between repeaters and the only access would be 'ham radio' RF at both ends.
The club members can determine what ever direction the club will take but to be true to Dave's purpose, direct internet access is not part of IRLP.

The new controller we now have on our RVRC repeaters is quite flexible and provides a great deal of features. However, I personally do not subscribe to the direct access of repeaters directly via the internet. (Vis-a-vis iphones, computers, Droids etc.) The concept of repeaters has been to provide radio communications among hams using radios over larger areas that can not be reliably obtained without them. I am of the opinion that it certainly is redundant to use an "iphone" to access a repeater to talk to another ham on a radio when it is more easily done simply making a call on the cellphone! Or....just use Skype!

Technology is great and these things can all be achieved today.  If that is what RVRC wants to do as a club, so be it.  But allow the members 'in toto' to have their say as to what RVRC will do.

Fraternally,
Marv,    K2VHW

Message-ID: <002a01cb77aa$1d4f19e0$57ed4da0$@net>

The 2m diamond is mounted at the top of the tower.

The 440 repeater is on the back up antenna

We need to get both antennas refurbed and ready to be put back up at a
moments notice.

 

Be sure to attend the next meeting , so we can talk about the tower, and
decide what we are doing with IRLP
