Does anyone know someone or a company in the area who is good at doing professional radio installations?? I got a Jeep Patriot back in February and want to put the VHF/UHF in it. I want it to look well done AND for the life of me, I spent about a half hour yesterday looking for a route through the firewall for wiring and couldn't find one.

There's some new software from a CONUS ham which is, right now, free
(although, as a volunteer effort, he is accepting donations) to us to
program the Wouxuns, considering the factory software is...um....a bit
obtuse to use, and not really that flexible.

It looks good, but, like all things, is still in beta.

take a look...looks pretty good...and the feature set is pretty rich...

My workplace in Hunterdon County is looking for Electronics Technician.
Associates in ET or EET or equivalent knowledge.

Must have hands-on experience prototyping circuits, taking measurements,
using a scope, etc.

Must be familiar with analog and/or power circuitry.  Digital a plus, but
digital *only* a big minus.  Surface mount experience also a plus.

A good opportunity if you want to work in a place that actually designs &
manufactures electronic equipment in the USA and exports it!

(I figured Hams who build and test things might still be around!)

From: ARRL Web site

Subject: [Norton AntiSpam]ARRL Changes Insurance Plan Administrators


Effective May 1st, the ARRL has changed program administrators and insurance companies for its ARRL-sponsored Equipment Insurance and Club Liability insurance plans. The League has signed an agreement with Hays Affinity Group to serve as the program administrator to provide equipment insurance to its members who choose to elect coverage. In addition, Hays will also provide club liability insurance to ARRL Affiliated Clubs for those clubs that wish to take advantage of that program. Hays will be replacing Marsh Affinity Group Services as the program's administrator and will be introducing new policies for both plans, underwritten by the Hanover Insurance Company.

 

Members who are currently insured under the old plans are likely to receive a notice from Marsh, announcing the change. Be assured, if you currently have equipment or club liability insurance provided through Marsh Affinity Group, your coverage will continue through the end of the current policy term. But keep in mind that when your policy expires, your coverage will not automatically be switched over to Hays. In addition, beginning May 1, the ARRL will no longer be able to help you resolve any issues you may have with Marsh, the insurance company or their claims paying agent. Our contractual agreement with them has been terminated.

 

If you wish to enroll in the new insurance plans, you must do so with the Hays Affinity Group. You can sign up online and even schedule your radio equipment online, too. With Hays Affinity Group, you can have all your radio equipment covered, even the computers, hard drives and printers in your shack. There are several provisions in the new equipment insurance plan that we believe are improvements over the old plan. Coverage for towers and antennas is now up to $15,000 of replacement cost, 50% more than the old policy. In addition, any newly acquired equipment during the policy term, up to a value of $2,000, will be covered until your next policy renewal (you must notify Hays within 60 days of acquisition). The low deductibles on the policy have also been retained. There is a $50 deductible for replacements and $25 for repairs. The coverage is as comprehensive as the old plan including fire, theft, lightning, wind and flood damage to your equipment. The new premium is $1.40 for every $100 of replacement value insured. This is slightly less than in the past.

 

The Club Liability insurance plan now provides the same general liability insurance for most clubs for only $200 per year (add $100 per year if the club wants to include non-owned or leased auto liability coverage). The standard limit for the policy is $1,000,000 per occurrence ($2 million in the aggregate) but if your club needs a higher limit, you can call the Hays Affinity Group for a quote.

To have your equipment covered under the new policy, you will have to enroll with Hays to continue coverage under an ARRL-sponsored plan. If you wish to switch to either of the new insurance policies now, you can either cancel your policy with Marsh and sign up with Hays, or wait until your policy with Marsh is due for renewal and then sign up with Hays for coverage. If you choose to cancel with Marsh before renewal, you will receive a pro-rated refund of any unused premium fees you have paid. For more information you can contact the Hays Affinity Group at:

Hays Affinity Group 
Attn: ARRL Insurance Program 
1400 Renaissance Drive, Suite 300 
Park Ridge, IL 60068

Phone: (866) 819-0209

E-mail: ARRL at hayscompanies.com. 

The ARRL has been providing opportunities for equipment insurance to its members for more than 25 years. We believe that the programs administered by Hays will offer ARRL members the coverage they need and excellent customer service.

Ben Stevenson, W2BXA, of Colonia, New Jersey, passed away on May 5, 
2011. He was 97. An ARRL member since 1934, Stevenson was also a charter 
member of the New Jersey DX Association since 1957, serving as its first 
president. Stevenson held Satellite DXCC #1, Mixed DXCC #6 (390 
countries confirmed) and Phone DXCC #6 (388 countries confirmed).

Only missing two deleted entities -- French Indo-China (FI8) and Damao 
Diu (CR8) -- Stevenson earned his Mixed and Phone DXCC Awards in 1947, 
just two years after amateurs were allowed back on the air after World 
War II. He held his call sign continuously for 82 years.

Stevenson graduated from the Newark College of Engineering in 1935 and 
served as an electrical engineer with the US Navy during World War II. 
After the war, he was a plant manager in Carteret, New Jersey before 
retiring in 1972.

During the sinking of "The Flying Enterprise" in January 1952, he was 
able to reach the ship's captain, Kurt Carlsen allowing him to speak to 
his family in Woodbridge, New Jersey. Though the ship was lost, the 
captain and crew survived, as did nine of the 10 passengers on board. 
During the Vietnam War, Stevenson would patch soldiers via ham radio to 
their families back home in the US.

Visitation will be held on Friday, May 6 from 2-4 and 7-9 PM at the 
Gosselin Funeral Home in Edison. Parastas will be 3:30 PM, also at the 
funeral home. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, May 7 at 9:30 
AM at the funeral home. Interment will be at Evergreen Cemetery in Hillside.

Fellow RVRC'ers:

I'm looking for a few good people.  Not to join the Marines, but, to
help out with a necessary and important task for the Hamfest.  I'm
talking about helping with the parking duties and greeting our fellow
amateurs as they come in to (hopefully) help make the 'fest a success
for the club.

So...I have a couple folks who've already stepped up to the plate (Alan,
Craig, and one other person who Eric has mentioned is willing to help);
it would be great if a few more volunteered to join in to make sure that
the cars get in, get out, and generally maintain an orderly flow (as
well as, I believe, take care of the ticket sales and the like...).

So, as an incentive...I'll be bringing a couple Boxen o'Joe and goodies
for breakfast (yeah, I know, like we all need them...), and I'll make
sure there's a cooler with some cold non-alcoholic and diet, as well as
normal beverages and juice available for those 'in the front lines'.

It's not my purpose to tie anyone down for the whole event; as the
morning progresses and the traffic waxes and wanes, you'll have enough
time to wander the aisles and see what's being offered.  If we have
enough interest...will probably arrange duty by shifts...so everyone has
a chance to contribute to help out as well as participate and shop.

Obviously...club shirts and badges...and a smile are welcome.

So, if you're interested in pitching in and making a contribution of
time to ensure the success of the hamfest, please let me know, and I'll
be sure to include you in the roster.

Thanks and 73.

                "Please spread the word to RVRC that I am out of commission
for a while. Just out of St. Peters Hospital after suffering a series of
three mini-strokes since the last week of April. No observable defects other
than some vision issues that should go away. Hope to get my mobile on the

Dayton Hamvention Daily Report -- May 22

05/22/2011

Sunday Hamvention crowds were thinner, as is always the case, but there was still quite a bit of activity inside the complex. In the flea market, shoppers were picking through last-day bargains.

According to John Bee, N1GNV, of Quicksilver Radio, overall attendance seemed to be at least the same as last year, if not somewhat higher. In terms of business, John stated that his sales volume was substantially higher compared to previous years. ?Frankly, I think this may be my best Hamvention ever.?

Computer dealers reported a large surge of interest in laptops and netbooks. Used laptops were selling at less than $150 with new models going for as little as $300 to $500. A number of amateurs were spotted hauling away wide-screen LCD monitors, which were also selling at discount prices.

The MFJ booth was still drawing heavy traffic Sunday morning. The new MFJ-9200 multiband QRP transceiver was a major attraction, as was their new high-power remote antenna tuner.

The nearby DX Engineering booth also drew a considerable number of visitors with several new items on display.

At the ICOM booth, Ray Novak, N9JA, said he was pleased with the 2011 Hamvention attendance. ?I wondered if the high gas prices would keep people home, but that doesn't seem to have been the case.?

>From "Worldradio" Magazine, June, 2011;



Email in the Cloud

You might be getting a message one of these days with a

puzzling @mail.mil return address. Give it a little respect

because @mail.mil could become the stuff of digital history.

It is the callsign (so to speak) of the U.S. Army?s new

Enterprise Email service provider-in-the-sky. Starting in

February, the Army began migrating all the million-plus email

accounts from several hundred local servers spread around the

globe to a single Microsoft Express 2010 megasystem operated

in what it and Microsoft call a ?private cloud.?

For those just catching up on the jargon, ?cloud? refers to

an invisible somewhere in which are located the software, files,

utilities and memory that formerly resided on each individual

client?s computer. In this case, the digital somewhere is an

array of five Network Service Centers operated globally by

the Defense Information Systems Agency.

There?s been a lot of talk that cloud computing will become

the wave of the future for all of us. If so, the Army?s effort to

increase security while cutting its data-handling costs bears

watching.

It?s a huge undertaking, relocating 200,000 secret and 1.4

million unclassified accounts by the end of 2011 without

interrupting service ? keeping in mind email is absolutely

vital to the 24/7 conduct of two wars, not to mention homeland

security.

With its central users? list, the sysops at NETCOM / 9th

Signal Command (Army) can instantly update or cancel access

privileges and security clearance for every person in the system

if circumstances require.

The CIO/G6 office predicts that by eliminating all the duplication,

the annual cost of a single email ?seat? will drop from

more than $100 to less than $39 and the overall bill of $400

million will drop by about $100 million. That?s while increasing

each individual mailbox?s capacity from the current 100M

to 4G. ? N1IN/AAM1RD/AAR1FP

find any repeater in his database (seems to be pretty complete for a 
volunteer effort...)...or...enter a start and end point, and produce a 
list (displayed on a google map...) of machines that should be 
accessible...and download in a csv format, or in a format that can be 
imported into the ARRL software to create a file to load into your rig 
(icoms, kenwoods, yaesu, and even the wouxuns...).

Just another tool for the browser bookmark tab.  Pretty neat.

As Bryan made the comment about today's counterpeople, I'm reminded of Scott Wilson, W2SJW's, take-off on one of their recent commercials: "You got questions: we've got dumb looks!" 
 
Alan, I can't think of anything that I bought there that lasted that long, and is still around like your rcvr., unless you used it sparingly !

Subject: [RVRC] Going to try something new with the net tonight...
Message-ID: <4DE23988.3090109@bdboyle.com>

So....instead of having to muck through finding the RVRC net on ustream,
I've written a mash-up page (actually, wrote it a few months ago, but it
never got deployed...) that does a number of things:

1. It displays the normal ustream feed that you all are used to watching.
2. It adds in a second video channel for guests/co-hosts/video
feeds/whatever on the same page...which means that, you too can be a
guest host...;)
3. It provides a bigger chat window.

All of the providers we use allow, if you sign up for their api
(application-program interface) access, the ability to do this; rather
than having to navigate through ustream's or livestream's menu and
online display, I thought it would be easier to sign up for the api
access, and mash up the page.

Note, you will STILL have to log into the chat room; when you try and
type your message in the first time, it will present you with a username
and password panel...just use whatever username and password you've
normally used in ustream to enter the chat function.

Of course, if you've bookmarked the ustream feed and prefer to go in via
that method...that's ok, too.

Oh, and the URL?  Can't forget that...if you find it useful, bookmark it
or put it in your favorites tab or on the link list in Firefox.

http://www.wb0yle.com/netplay.htm

It takes up a lot of screen real estate, by the by; the old days of
800x600 video are long gone.  If you find it useful (or easier) to use
than manually going through the ustream pages directly, or would like
the page arranged differently, that's pretty much a simple editing task
(the page was built with a text editor, so, it's not fancy and simple to
move stuff around...)

Also, at the top of the page, is a feedback button.  this will pop open
a small window for YOU to provide CONSTRUCTIVE comments or requests for
topics or ??? to the hosts.  Not saying that we'll read them, mind you,
but it's there for your use.

Look forward to seeing you on the net this evening.

how to use an oscilloscope to monitor your transmitter output.

Subject: [RVRC] Social Net Mashup Web Page
Message-ID: <4DE40942.9040209@bdboyle.com>

Well, from all indications, those who used the net mashup page last
night found it simpler than navigating through the Ustream hierarchy; I
did get a request from Alan, W2AEW, to see if I could change the
dynamics to accommodate lower resolution devices such as netbooks and
the like. So, in a fit of html, I built a separate page just for lower
resolution screens that eliminates the second video feed display, and
fits the entire two pieces into a presentation that will allow 800x600
screens to view the Ustream video and still have a usable chat room
experience.

The page to select EITHER is the same as I sent yesterday:

http://www.wb0yle.com/netplay.htm

You can, from there, select either the high-res page (which is useful if
both Brian and Bryan (how did we end up with that...????? Inquiring
minds want to know...)) or one of us and other guests are on the net,
or, the low res page which will just give you the 'low res', one-feed
display (I'm working on some ajax code to allow the NCS to flip what's
displayed by remote control...so if there are two video sources, the NCS
can control what gets sent to Ustream).

Like Burger King, you can have it your way.  And, on the first page,
there's a comment button so you can feedback to both of us any
suggestions, requests, complaints, or ???.  No private info is stored,
etc.  I'm as paranoid about that as any (that's what I do for a
living..), so, I am sensitive to making sure that info doesn't get out...

Hope this helps, and if you have any question, don't hesitate to ask...

Just ran across a couple of things on the NIST.

First of all, like everyone they are facing budget cutbacks and have set up a survey to see what services people use most and least. If you want to add your two cents worth, the survey is at: www.tf.nist.gov/survey I chimed in on WWV, WWVB (atomic clocks) and the web services.

Second (no pun intended,) I ran across this widget from NIST that can be added to any web site. What is interesting is the accuracy. I don't quite know how they do this with all of the variable latency of the Internet, but in calling this up on my computer, its within a few hundred milliseconds of the WWVB clock here in my office!

Thought you might find it interesting . .
