This web site will generate a pdf letter to your Congressman based upon the
zip code contained in your address listed at the qrz.com web site.

http://www.kd4pyr.net/hamletter.htm

The letter appears to be similar if not the same as the sample letter
drafted by the ARRL. You can then save the file and email, or fax it to both
your representative and the ARRL lobby firm in Washington for hand delivery.
See here for info on contacting..   REMEMBER, it is important to state that
you support providing help to first responders but the inclusion of the
420-440 band to be swapped for the "D" block is counterproductive to amateur
radio support of emergency communications.


Letters MUST go to the ARRL representative in Washington (Chwat and
Co)...NOT directly to your local Representative in Congress. Due to how
postal mail is now physically processed to Congress, post 9/11, delays in
timely deliver, sometimes of months or more, can be incurred. The ARRL
representative will hand deliver letters on this matter to the appropriate
locations/people  Full Contact info for Chwat and Co is at:

Message-ID: <4D72BE20.9050500@bdboyle.com>

A big shout out to Bruce KC2YSF, and, of course Eric NW2P, for their
assistance today in getting the W2QW 440 machine (and by extension, for
the net, the 2 meter 146.625 box) back on the public Internet and
relinked back into both the Allstar, APRS, and Echolink systems.  As of
now, the QW empire is linked with N2ZAV and WB0YLE on 220, the KB2EAR
machines, and, as needed, the K2ETS machine for both the Sunday and
Wednesday nets.

New outdoor-rated (but not UV...this is NOT the permanent solution,
gentlemen and ladies...we're working on a permanent fix...) Cat5,
donated by Bruce, was strung between the garage and Eric's house, new,
fresh, gold-plated RJ45s were installed to terminate the run, the garage
hub relocated and mounted securely (rather than hanging by its cables),
and the in-rack wiring was cleaned up and tied off properly.

The rack *almost* looks good enough from the back to take a photo of the
installation (did I say 'almost'???).

To make it easier to maintain, I did install one of the big CRT monitors
and a keyboard on the control computer which is placed on top of the
spare rack.  When I get a chance, I'll donate an LCD monitor to replace
it, but, for now, it's a lot easier debugging a machine when you have a
hard console that you can get to rather than trying to come in via the
network (especially when the network connectivity is acting funky...).

If you're wondering about the status of the network, and have access to
a computer and browser, you can see the status of the Allstar network
we're copnnected to by going to

http://stats.allstarlink.org/getstatus.cgi?27089

(27089 is the W2QW node number...).  Nodes are listed in the ovals along
with the registered frequencies...the interconnecting lines are where
it's connected to, and the presence of arrowheads on the lines indicate
that an active connection exists, and is passing traffic between the 2
end points.

Enjoy the restored operation, and, again, thanks to the gentlemen
mentioned for their assistance and pitching in to support the machine.

Some of the upcoming tasks that need to be scheduled include proper span
mounting of the cables that are running from the garage to the house,
repairing and reinstalling the Gap Challenger HF antenna, and continuing
clean-up and documentation of the connections as well as general
assistance with some other tasks at the site I'm aware of.  I'm taking
names if anyone is interested...;)

Subject: [ETS/PARC List] New Website (BETA) / April Meeting / Show & Tell /
220 Machine

Good Morning,

 

For those of you who missed it we had a very productive meeting this past
Friday. Among topics discussed:

 

New Website (BETA):
Gene - KC2WDZ has started development on a new club website - www.k2ets.com
- if you go to the site you'll notice that Gene has made significant
progress . Gene would like input from members on additional information or
links that can be added to the suite. The possible goal here is that the
site could offer "one stop shopping" for ham related items for club members
(and non club members alike). Any thoughts about what can be added? Please
e-mail Gene at kc2wdz at arrl.net . On behalf of the club I would also like to
thank Ron, KA2BZS for his work in developing the original ETS Club Website.
Ron will be working with Gene on the new site.
 

April Meeting - QSL Card Night:
The April Meeting (4/29/2011) will feature a presentation By Barry Cohen,
K2JV on the QSL Card collection of Joe Painter, W2BHM (SK). This collection
includes some very early post WW2 cards including recent research into the
operators and locations. Our Vice President, Tim, AB2ZK has viewed this
presentation and advises that it is very interesting and entertaining.
Anyone who would like to bring along any interesting, unique or rare QSL
cards to the meeting are encouraged to do so. Please join us on what will be
a very entertaining evening - all are welcome!

Show & Tell:
Anyone who would like to take the lead on show and tell for an upcoming
meeting - please raise your hand! Some ideas discussed were - boat anchors,
new leading edge (just released) rigs, keys, Digital Modes - you name it! We
have full capabilities at the meeting place with power supplies, VHF/UHF/HF
(yes HF) rigs and antennas to go with them. Anyone with any thoughts / idea
/ equipment - let me know.

220 Repeater:
As per my previous e-mail message the 220 machine is back on the air. Thanks
to the hard work of W2WIQ, KB2LLM, K2KGG and KC2WDZ (and many others) the
machine should have Voice over IP (VOIP) capability via Asterisk / Allstar
link and Echolink possibly as early as this coming Sunday. Please tune in
the 220 machine (223.960) for updates - a Pl tone of 110.9 may be necessary
in the future - currently there is no pl tone required to access the
machine. Remember - "use it or lose it".

 That's all for now - please do not hesitate to contact me with any
questions
or comments or suggestions.

Until next time.

73,

Joe
W2OZO

To all RVRC Members,

 

I would like to remind those members who did not submit 2011 club dues that
they are due.  You can submit your dues to me at the club meeting or you may
sent them to me at my home QTH at the address listed below:

I would like to thank all the club members for their continued financial
support, as you know the club under the direction of the technical
committee has greatly improved our repeater system with new repeaters,
battery back-up etc.  The club has sent a significant amount of its funds on
upgrading our repeater system which without your  continued support this
would not have been possible.

+ Yaesu, ICOM and Kenwood Issue Statements Regarding Effects of Earthquake
on Operations


  <http://www3.arrl.org/nl/al/image/Yaesu.JPG> 

In a letter to the Amateur Radio community, Vertex Standard Chief Executive
Officer and President Jun Hasegawa expressed his "sincere appreciation to
all of you for your kind words and thoughts about us" after the devastating
8.9 earthquake that struck Japan last week
<http://www.arrl.org/news/massive-earthquake-hits-japan-tsunami-warnings-iss
ued> . Vertex Standard is the parent company of Yaesu. All Vertex Standard
employees and their families are safe and unhurt, Hasegawa said, but the
company has not been able to reach many of their dealers and subcontractors
who are located on the coast area: "We just hope that they are alive."
Hasegawa said that a Vertex Standard factory in Fukushima was damaged in the
earthquake. Even though the factory is not located near the coast and the
damage was minimal, he said that Vertex Standard has decided to "disable the
operation at this moment." Saying that they are working very hard to get the
factory back to its normal operation, Hasegawa said that "it may take one to
two weeks to restart operation in the Fukushima factory. I would like to ask
for your understanding and cooperation at this time."




  <http://www3.arrl.org/nl/al/image/ICOM.JPG> 

According to a press release
<http://www.icomamerica.com/en/features/earthquake.aspx> , no one from ICOM
is known to be injured. No damage has been reported at ICOM's headquarters
in Osaka, or at either of their two main factories in Wakayama; both Osaka
and Wakayama are located far south of the most severely affected areas. The
branch offices in Tokyo and Sendai, however, did suffer some minor damage.
"Most of ICOM's facilities and systems are ready to get back to normal
business, but supplier logistics, commuting issues and future power
disruptions will affect our company," the press release said. "It is too
soon to tell how big an impact the earthquake and its aftermath will have on
ICOM. We appreciate your interest and concern."






  <http://www3.arrl.org/nl/al/image/kenwood.JPG> 

"Thankfully, our staff in Japan is safe due to earthquake preparedness and
the special construction of our buildings," said Kenwood USA President Junji
Kobayashi on the Kenwood website
<http://www.kenwoodusa.com/NewsArchive/2011/20fe1b7b-fe8a-4a94-b371-bb97d0ff
f096> . "Power outages and interruption of mass transit have kept most of
Kenwood's staff at home since the earthquake; however, we expect the
infrastructure to improve in the coming week and our operations to fully
resume accordingly. We appreciate the concern for our employees expressed by
all those who have contacted us." Kenwood's primary office facilities in
Yokohama and Hachioji were not damaged, due to their proximity further south
and west of the quake's epicenter. Since Kenwood's primary manufacturing
facilities are in Malaysia, electronics production is unaffected.

Message-ID: <AANLkTimREoHZ0rUOnhs4OF+VhPvGeEbqCS9vsO65AMyB@mail.gmail.com>

I met a ham here in El Segundo yesterday (not from Oracle). He had a Yaesu
HT on his belt and I asked him if that was, indeed, a ham radio. He smiled,
said ?Yes? and told me his call.  I introduced myself and we exchanged
pleasantries.  He asked me if I had brought a rig with me. I said ?No? but I
was using my laptop from the hotel to access my Flex-1500 remotely. He
thought that was pretty cool, and I said I was going to be in Belmont Shores
week after next and would probably bring an HT with me because there is a
lot of radio activity there?he laughed and said ? I don?t think we have to
worry much about that!

Realizing I had inadvertently made a funny, I got on twitter and typed:

?So I decided I'd take one of my handheld ham radios with me week after next
in SF. I hear they will have lots of radio activity there.?

Maybe there?s a role for me as a writer for Conan maybe?!

Everyone is aware that I listen to both QW repeaters.

I am constantly hearing someoneannouncing wz2xyz listening monitoring,
mobile or something that doesn't tell others if they are really wanting to
talk to someone.

The traditional method of saying you are hear and want to talk to anyone is
cq

Also since I scan both repeaters, I have no idea Where you are to call you
back.

Please put your band or freq with your call.

The operating procedure in the repeater manual is to give your call and say
listening. It would help if they respond to someone calling them.

I would agree about saying what band we're on.  With 5 or 6 machines 
(depending on the phases of the moon,
time of day, network configuration, etc) across 3, soon to be 4 
bands...so, announcing with call letters, {listening|monitoring}, on {2 
meters|220|440|Echolink|Allstar} and, maybe, current location should be 
sufficient...just my $.03 (adjusted for currency devaluation).

And...replying to a call, if only to acknowledge their transmission is 
received...might be courteous...:)

I think Bryan is on the right track - announcing the repeater to which you
are listening might assist someone who wants to reply.  However, I believe
that with all our linkage - if you can hear 'em, you can work 'em- might
apply.

In the D-Star world, to Drew's point, you do have to know the path because
you might not be able to reply directly to someone you can hear, so
announcing your path is important.

73, John WJ3P

Otherwise we will have to make other plans.

 

Some of you  are getting better at announcing which repeater you are on.
