Hello everyone,

 

I just took Eric back to JFK.  He's got an infection somewhere in his body.
Thank you in advance for all your prayers.

As received from the Raritan Bay Radio Amateurs: Thank You. 



Subject: FYI: Imposter using fake callsign on repeater systems

This email was received today from Leon (N0TAZ) of the Newark Amateur Radio Club as an FYI on an imposter using their repeater system.


Good day, gentlemen,


     I'm passing this information on to each of you because either you use the BEARS repeater system or you are a repeater owner.  


     Yesterday evening after ending a QSO with a station on the BEARS 70 cm system, another station called me, stating that he had recently purchased a Baofeng HT that I had discussed in my prior QSO.  He said that his name was "Lou", and that his call sign was - - get this - - K2JU879.  I had him repeat it twice more, after which I asked, in an obvious tone of disbelief, if he said that his call was K2JU879.  He didn't respond to my first or second inquiry, obviously aware that I caught on that his call sign was not valid.


     K2JU is a valid call sign of a ham in California.  His name is not Lou.  Just a note of caution to be alert for this fraud.  That said, please have a safe, happy and celebratory 4th of July.

Message-ID: <4FF37927.7030702 at mindspring.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Hi folks,

I know a lot of us in the David Sarnoff Radio Club own or have used the
Yaesu FT-817. It's a great little radio and serves us very well with our
low-power activities especially on Field Day. At Field Day this year, Ray
WA2PYX, who was operating at my station as he has done in prior years, was
wondering if I was really getting 5W output, since the SWR meter on my
antenna tuner indicated considerably less. He generously offered that I
could stop by his lab at Princeton Instruments to do some experimentation
and take a few readings. We discovered the following facts:

- Indeed, the radio does consistently output a solid 5W, even when the
Voltage applied to the unit is considerably less than 12V. When operating on
external power, the radio shuts off when the voltage goes below around 7.5,
but even at the fringe level, or even when the transmit key drags the
voltage down 1-2 volts, the radio is still reliably outputting 5W.
Similarly, if the voltage is slightly above 12V, the output is still 5W. It
seems that the radio is perfectly designed to output 5W and it does that
very well. Note that the maximum that it can handle is 15V -- and here's a
nice article about creating an input voltage conditioner, that gives some
additional insight into specs, for the FT-817:
http://www.ad5x.com/images/Articles/Condx817RevA.pdf

- Another experiment that we tried involved the use of a straight-line
connection between the radio and the 12V battery, using a cigarette-lighter
style plug and my (fully charged) car starter battery (that I had purchased
on sale with rebate at Pep Boys for $35, normally $89). What we learned was
that the Yaesu-supplied cigarette-lighter power cord does actually cause a
drop of about 1/2 volt as opposed to the straight-line connection. This may
be because of some limiters in the Yaesu plug component (we didn't take it
apart to see). Again, as long as the voltage is sufficient to keep the radio
operating, the output is still 5W.

There is also a detailed webpage that provides info about battery
modifications and issues for the FT-817 here: 
http://www.ka7oei.com/ft817_batt.html

Hopefully this discussion makes sense and sheds some light on questions that
we have wondered about. Especially -- as the battery drains down during FD
are we not getting responses because we are not putting out 5W or is it just
because more people are on the air and we are getting drowned out? Now we
know we are putting out 5W, so using a fresh battery will probably not help
at all!

In summary, the FT-817 is a fairly rugged, compact, and very reliable
multiband QRP rig. Though it is a tad on the expensive side (around $650
new, $500+ eBay), and you really should buy or download one of the
cheat-sheets (such as: 
http://www.ko4bb.com/Manuals/Yaesu/Yaesu_FT-817-cheat_sheet.pdf) or booklets
to help figure out (or remember) how to program it (especially since the
user manual that comes with it does have some errors), the unit does the job
and keeps on putting out 5W under a variety of conditions!

Feel free to share more thoughts about the FT-817 if you have any (or if
there are any corrections to the above commentary, please note).

73 and Have a Glorious 4th, all!
Rebecca KA3IAX.

FORWARDING OF THIS MESSAGE IS ENCOURAGED

Hello,

The DVRA will be holding an auction of donated items at their Ham
Shack on the second Saturday in July (rain date, Sunday). The auction
is open to anyone, but a successful bid on a radio transmitter would
require an amateur license.

We have an eclectic donation from a local ham that includes vintage
computer equipment, commercial and amateur antennas and unbuilt
Heathkits.  Some items are in boxes and some come as a set of boxes,
but other items such as antenna hardware and various small hardware
are not in a box.  If you are interested in the unboxed items you may
want to bring your own container.

Auction Schedule, Saturday, July 14:

10:30 AM to 11:30 AM - Auction off items

Rain date, Sunday July 15:

1:30 PM to 2:00 PM - Auction off items

Let's plan to dress for Summer sun; the Boy Scouts (invited for a second
foxhunting workshop) will be in the shack and on the patio at some time
during the day.

Directions:
Take I95 to exit 2 (near the Scudders Falls bridge). Take the exit
toward Trenton/Mercer airport. Just over the bridge and just past the
on-ramp to I-95 Northbound, there is an entrance for the NJ D.O.T.
maintenance yard. Take this road to the top of the hill. The DVRA club
shack is on the left hand side, a small white building with a patio
and picnic table.

73,
Ron KC2PQC

Message-ID: <012301cd5eb7$3606e4e0$a214aea0$@net>

Eric's walk is getting much harder for him.  He has a hard time standing
balanced and maneuvering his body and his mind is muddling up as fast as he
tires out.  I've been walking him up and down the sidewalk for as many of
the appointments as possible, but he is increasingly harder for me to handle
safely and I cannot handle the wheelchair at the broken areas.  Kenny is
pitching in as much as he is available to do so, but we're just going to
need some more help.  We'd appreciate it if some of you wonderful people
would be willing to help out.  

 

His current schedule for the rest of this month is:

 

Mondays - dialysis clinic: needs to be there by 12:30, which means leaving
here already in the car by 12 noon

Pickup at 5 pm, which Kenny THINKS he should currently be able to do.  (My
only time to do anything separate from watching over Eric is when he's at
the clinic.  Wednesdays and Fridays are days that I'm busy with things out
of the house.  Mondays are my only times for fellowshipping with others for
refreshment.  I've been going to a Bible study/prayer group meeting and had
gotten the odd time for Eric's dialysis so that I wouldn't have to miss it.)

Wednesdays & Fridays - dialysis clinic: needs to be there by 9:30, which
means leaving here already in the car by 9 am

Pickup at 3 pm.  (This might be adjustable to a 6:30 am leave time with a
noon pickup.  If that would work better for somebody to help me out then I
could ask at the clinic if it is possible to change to the corresponding
time slot in their schedule, but I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate a whole
lot of wobbling back and forth on our timing.)

Tuesday 7/17 - doctor's appointment at 11, means leaving here already in the
car by 10:30 am

This one's a difficult one as the cardiologist office is on the second floor
of an old building with no elevator.  There are a few steps with a very
small landing to get into the building and a chair-lift afterward which Eric
and I have never used and I'm not sure how he'd do for maneuvering with it.
Thus I'd prefer someone to go with us if possible.

Tuesday 7/24  - doctor's appointment at 10:30, means leaving here already in
the car by 9:45 am

                                                We've never been to this
place; I will check it out while Eric's at dialysis.

Thursday 7/26 - doctor's appointment at 2 pm, which means leaving here by
already in the car by 1:15

 

Sorry, I have no idea how long any of the doctors' appointments would be.
It always depends on how busy they are. 

 

We know that many of you are very busy and some of you just don't have the
right abilities for such helps, but we do thank you for all that you have
and are able to do.  And of course, your prayers are always welcome.
They're most important as we all need God's help.

 

Susan

More than four miles of Route One Northbound in Edison will be redone from just south of Woodbridge Avenue ? right after the Morris Goodkind Bridge - all the way up to near Route 287. Milling and paving for the $3 million project will begin later this month. Single and double-lane closures will be scheduled at night.
A second project will do similar work on a stretch of Route 28 in both directions in Bound Brook, Middlesex and Dunellen. That will stretch from near Vosseller Avenue in Bound Brook, through Middlesex, and Dunellen to near the Plainfield border. That project ? at a cost of $2.3 million ? should begin in early August, with lane closures saved for overnight hours. It also will include new image detection cameras at lights to let them know to change, replacing older underground loop detectors

Wonder why HF has been so funky lately...

Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA,
Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force.

Updated Jul 09 2200 UTC

Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 191 Issued at 2200Z on 09 Jul 2012

IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  08/2100Z
to 09/2100Z:  Solar activity was low.  Region 1515 (S15W89) produced
the largest event of the period, a C7/Sf at 09/0830Z.  Region 1520
(S17E33) continued its growth phase in area coverage, spot count and
magnetic complexity, but remained relatively quiet through the
period.  New Region 1521 (S22E21) was numbered as a D-type group.  A
large filament eruption was observed in the SW quadrant at about
09/0930Z.  At the time of its eruption, the 23 degree long filament
was centered near S35W32.  No Earth-directed CMEs were observed
during the previous 24 hours.

IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be
moderate with a chance for X-class events for the next three days
(10 - 12 July).

IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 08/2100Z to 09/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was at unsettled to minor storm levels with
high latitude major storm intervals.  This activity was most likely
a result of CME effects from the 04 July M1 event.  ACE solar data
indicated wind velocities ranged between 400 to 450 km/s.  The Bz
component of the interplanetary magnetic field was generally south
throughout the period ranging between -5 to -10 nT from about
09/0600Z through the end of the period.  Interplanetary field
strength was at 10 to 12 nT through most of the period.  A greater
than 10 MeV proton event at geosynchronous orbit began at 09/0130Z,
reached a maximum of 19 pfu at 09/0430Z and ended at 09/1445Z.  This
weak SEP event was most likely associated with the 08 July M6/1n
flare from Region 1515.

"The R3 (Strong) Radio Blackout today at 12:49 EDT (1649 UTC) was 
accompanied by an earth-directed CME. Hampered by limited observations 
of the event, SWPC forecasters are now anticipating the passage of the 
[coronal mass ejection] around 1:00 a.m. EDT, Saturday, July 14. G1

Yeah, the middle of the night...but, it will take a while for the

RVRC Member,
 
At the meeting several members asked about the ordering of the shed.  I
would like to inform all the members that the total cost of the shed
will be 3145.80.  I will be sending out our inital deposit of 1000, with
the balance of 2145.80 due upon delivery.  If you have any question
about the shed you should contact Paul KC2VRJ.

I think we should take John's advice seriously. Paul and whoever he's been
working with have done an outstanding job of driving this project. However,
with Paul having a new job in PA I don't know how much time he has to attend
to all the details involved, particularly our legal agreement with Eric. I
think some of us should step up to this issue and get it resolved. 
 I can't take this on by myself but would be willing to be part of a task

It would be good for some help with the legal aspect of this project the
club at one point stated they wanted a lawyer to look at this. However some
club members to haddle that would be a big help. With this new job I have
less time to focus on some of the issues I have been trying to handle. And
do agree that the lease needs to be handled and compleated. If Jhon ab2xh
is willing to lead a group on this Jhon if you willing to do this please
contact me direct kc2vrj at gmail.com

Only when the rag chewers get going on 2m and get the amp smoking...;)

 

 

When Eric sells his property, I'm sure the new owner will allow the shed and
antenna to stay.  Right?!  :-(

 

 

That looks so much better than I pictured in my mind!

 

I don't like the color

 

there seems to be no content with the picture on my end.  By the way had a
qso (demo) from Cooper Union to Seaside heights with the HT and W2QW vhf

Sweet! 73

 

These are just the initial comments. I'm sure there will be many more, and I
hope no one suggest this be the site of our next (IF) holiday party.

Message-ID: <C2788BFEF4F6467DB40DA3EFCB2A6F14@marvbronsPC>

Members of RVRC,

It has come to my attention that a repeater has been placed on the air in Edison, NJ.  This repeater is on the first adjacent channel and reversed (447.275 Tx/442.275 Rx). The owner/operator has indicated that it has been operational for the past  60 days without any complaints!

It is being operated by AA2VT in Edison (residence) and running 110 watts into a 6 dbi gain antenna. This represents approx. 400 watts ERP.  

I request that all RVRC members pay particular attention to times when it appears there may be interference to our repeater and be prepared to switch to listen on 447.275 (tone 118.8)
to evaluate the interference and determine if is, in fact, causing a problem.  

Please keep a close watch on this matter and report your findings so that we may forward this to MetroCor since AA2VT has applied for a coordination on that frequency(ies).

I failed to clarify my message to RVRC members.  This repeater has been 
placed on the air and on a frequency near the input frequency to our 442.250 
repeater. (our repeater operates on 442.250 MHz output (TX) and 447.250 MHz 
input (receive) which is only 25 KHz from this 'new' repeater which is 
transmitting on 447.275 MHz.
MetroCor guidelines provide a MINIMUM separation of 15 miles from/to 
adjacent channel stations.  This new repeater represents only 8 mile 
separation.

Certainly the issue that needs to be checked is if their output de-senses
our machine's input.

Eric is back in the hospital again. He was admitted yesterday for infection.
Thank you for all your prayers for him.  Yesterday he was quite out of it,
but today he is doing much better.

VHF DX:  BIG VHF OPENING ALONG THE EAST AND SOUTH CENTRAL USA

???
They are calling it one of the best VHF band 
openings since the late 1950?s.  This as hams along the Eastern seaboard and 
South-Central states report what appears to be both a tropospheric duct 
and some double-hop E layer skip that permitted QSO?s from Vermont south to Tennessee and Texas on bands as high as 220 MHz on Tuesday, July 
24th.
>
>One interesting report came to us from Kevin Duplantis, W4KEV.  He says 
that at about 5:30 pm EST in Knoxville, Tennessee that he was tuning 
around the FM broadcast  band when he stopped on WRJK 106.7.   That?s 
when he heard a commercial that seemed out of place so he kept 
listening.  It turned out that instead of WRJK he was hearing a station 
identifying as 106.7 the Wizard, Burlington, Vermont.  After a number of
 fades happened and the Vermont station came back so strong that it 
totally wiping out the local Knoxville station that was only 15 miles 
away.
>
>At that point W4KEV reports that he took to the 2 meter band where he 
made what he describes as a ton of contacts into the northeast and 
southeast and Canada.  Some well over 1000 miles distant.  He then 
switched to the 222 MHz band where he noted a definite E-skip opening 
that lasted a solid half hour.  During this time he hears Canadian 
stations make contact with the lower parts of Alabama and Mississippi.
>
>W4KEV hays that they do not get many tropo openings in his area so this was a thrill to say the least. 
>
>
>Meantime the dxworld.com Propagation Logger for 2 meters shows several 
likely record breaking contacts in sheer numbers if nothing else.  By 
way of example, Mike Larsen, KC0CF in Stanhope, Iowa posted that he 
worked 32 stations from Florida to Virginia during the opening and his 
report was just one of many. 
>
>In all, it appears as if July 24th, 2012, is one that will go down in the VHF and UHF record books and operators world wide are 
hoping its only a precursor of what may be still soon to come in DX in 
the world above 50 MHz.  (ARNewsline?, 2 Meter Prop Logger)
