Good Day Fellow Hams!

                With Hamfest season fast approaching (see: Splitrock Hamfest
Saturday April 20th!), we wanted to remind you that the 35th Annual Sussex
County Amateur Radio Club Hamfest is ON SCHEDULE for Sunday July 14th, 2013
at the Sussex County Fairgrounds. The SCARC Hamfest is one of the largest in
the northeast, and not to be missed. This year it will include indoor and
outdoor space, major vendors such as KJI Electronics, and the incredibly
delicious Mc SCARC!

                If you have any questions, please see:

or email:

 

Hamfest at scarcnj.org

 

                See you there!

 

73,

The Cherryville Hamfest is scheduled for May 11th and they are having
trouble getting their members to identify how they will participate to make
the hamfest a success. If you can help out at the RVRC hamfest please make
sure Drew and Rich are aware of your assignment. Last year we were really
stretched for manpower in the setup and parking areas. We had last minute
cancellation by regular committee members. Once we get them in and settled
we can enjoy the hamfest. We need volunteers to help set up the announcer,
club table, VE Test area, and special vendors (K2KJI, Cheapham, and Sauder
Electronics). This year someone needs to help these same vendors break down
and load their vehicles. This is a new area where help is needed. Thanks.

Drew, W2OU

Hello Cherryville!
?
It has been over a week since my message seeking volunteers for the kitchen
and other tasks at the 2013 CRA hamfest. In that time, I have received only
one response.? Yes, that's right. ONE (1) response!? I know we have more
members of CRA than that, and so do you! ?I know you are busy with other
aspects of your life.? I am, too.? So is the reason for lack of response
that we are too busy to take part in the hamfest?? In CRA?? In amateur
radio?? I think not!
?
So, why do we not respond?? Could it be:
?
1. We think that if we don't volunteer that someone else will step up and do
the job in our place?
?
2. We've done it every year, and are tired of doing it, so let someone else
have the opportunity?
?
3. We are too old and don't want to do it?? Such events are for the younger
crowd?
?
4. We are lazy?
?
What's your answer?? Have I listed it above, or is there another that I have
not listed?
?
Folks, Cherryville Repeater Association II is?MY club, and has been since
1981 when I first joined.? I have been loyal to CRA from the start, and have
done my best to support the club through the years whenever and however I
can.? I would hope that you feel the same way. ?When I became a member, I
knew that with membership came responsibility.? As a club member, I was just
as responsible for the club's success as every other member.? If we wanted
CRA to be a top notch club, we ALL had to step up and make it that! ?Charlie
(WB2NQV) didn't make CRA successful by himself!? It was done by ALL the
members working toward common goals and supporting CRA initiatives and
activities!
?
I realize that between hamfest 1983 and hamfest 2013, that 30 years have
passed, and things have changed.? For one, we all are 30 years older.? I
understand that changes our energy level, but it does not change our
responsibility as club members to make CRA the best it can and yes, that we
want it to be.? I don't want CRA to drift off to a slow death.? I don't want
CRA to be seen as a useless bunch of Old Timers!? How about you?? Do you
want to be a member of an active, exciting, innovative amateur radio club,
or a bunch of old fogies playing with an outdated hobby that is dying out
and soon to be forgotten?? I know which one I want. Which do you want?? 
?
If I have angered anyone, good!? Perhaps you will send me a reply to let me
know you read this.? Perhaps you will step up to your responsibility as an
active club member and ask me what you can do for your club!? Perhaps you
will finally visit the Wizard and get your courage to speak up about this at
the next club meeting on April 12!? Are you a loyal club member or a dying
old fogie?? That is entirely up to you! ?If you want to volunteer, send me a
response. If you don't, come to Friday's meeting and tell me why!
?
Until Friday,
?
Bob Grear,KA2OEE
President, CRA II

DAVID SARNOFF RADIO CLUB
APRIL 2013 MEETING

Joint Meeting with IEEE PCJS Broadcast Technology Chapter

ARRL Lab: Trials, Tribulations and (Tall?) Tales
Ed Hare, W1RFI, ARRL Laboratory Manager

* Tuesday, April 16, 2013, 7:30 PM

* American Red Cross, 707 Alexander Road, Training Room
Princeton, NJ 08540. See http://n2re.org/ for map and directions.

Why is your choice of test equipment important? How should you measure
intermodulation distortion? Ed Hare, an expert in this field,
will describe measurement procedures straight from the ARRL Lab,
including his work on Broadband Over Powerline (BPL) - and he will work
in a few tales that you have never read about. Ed?s quick wit and
insightful observations guarantee you a well-spent evening. Ed claims
that his tales are not tall ones, but those that have heard them can
never really be sure. Bring questions and see if you can stump this
expert!

Ham Radio Operators, IEEE members, students and guests are all welcome.
Light refreshments will be provided.

Please RSVP to: Joe Stack, BT Chapter Chair
(609) 647-9677 or mailto:jstack at ieee.org

About the ARRL:
The ARRL is the American Radio Relay League. Founded in 1914, the
American Radio Relay League is the national association for amateur
radio in the USA. Today, with more than 160,000 members, the ARRL is the
largest organization of radio amateurs in the world. The ARRL's mission
is based on five core areas or "pillars": Public Service, Advocacy,
Education, Technology, and Membership.

Biographical information:
Ed Hare, W1RFI, is employed by the American Radio Relay League. After an
industry career in product testing, he came to work at ARRL HQ in 1986.
He started as ARRL?s "Product Review" test engineer, moved on to
becoming ARRL?s "RFI guru" (notice his call!) [RFI is Radio Frequency
Interference] and he now holds the position of Laboratory Manager. Over
the years, he has written quite a number of RFI articles, ranging from
articles for QST magazine and the "ARRL Handbook" to articles about the
practical aspects of RFI that have appeared in professional trade
journals. He is also one of the editors and authors of the ARRL "RFI
Book" and the author of the ARRL's book on RF exposure, "RF Exposure and
You." He is very active holding a seat for Amateur Radio on various
industry committees, serving as a voting member on the IEEE EMC Society
Standards Development and Education Committee as elected Secretary, the
ANSI accredited C63? EMC Committee as Vice Chair of Subcommittee 5 on
Immunity, the IEEE P1775 BPL EMC committee, the Chair of the IEEE
Connecticut Section and others, representing ARRL and the interests of
Amateur Radio as industry standards are developed. He is a member of the
IEEE Standards Association, the IEEE EMC Society and the Power
Engineering Society. His personal operating interest is QRP CW, where
Ed?s motto is, "Five Watts is a Lot of Power!" He is presently doing
work on HF using 10 milliwatts, reporting 30 states worked, all in the
ARRL CW Sweepstakes.

All are invited to join in an informal pre-meeting dinner at the Super
Star East Buffet, 311 Nassau Park Blvd, Princeton, NJ 08540
(same location as our annual holiday party) at 6:15 PM.

MEETING SPEAKERS
Every one of our members has interesting skills and knowledge worth
sharing with others. Please contact Rebecca KA3IAX, John NU3E, or
Dennis KC2IMI with your ideas.

Hello all, I'm sending this quick email out before the meeting to give
everyone an idea of how the "request for comment" question was answered. The
answer in a nut shell is that all the reports that were returned to us were
favorable for keeping the WAN in operation. We will discuss this more
tomorrow night at the meeting. I was disappointed that we did not receive as
many replies as I thought we should have, that being said, see you tomorrow
(hopefully).    73, Mike, KB2VRM

Message-ID: <1365945624.5444.YahooMailNeo@web161902.mail.bf1.yahoo.com>

Have you ever wondered why radio amateurs are called
"HAMS"? 
Well, it goes like this: The word "HAM" as
applied to 1908 was the station CALL of the first amateur
wireless stations operated by some amateurs of the
Harvard Radio Club. They were ALBERT S. HYMAN, BOB
ALMY and POOGIE MURRAY.
At first they called their station "HYMAN-ALMY-MURRAY".
Tapping out such a long name in code soon became
tiresome and called for a revision. They changed it to "HYAL-
MU", using the first two letters of each of their names.
Early in 1901 some confusion resulted between signals
from amateur wireless station "HYALMU" and a Mexican
ship named "HYALMO". They then decided to use only
the first letter of each name, and the station CALL
became "HAM".
In the early pioneer days of unregulated radio amateur
operators picked their own frequency and call-letters.
Then, as now, some amateurs had better signals than
commercial stations. The resulting interference came to
the attention of congressional committees in Washington
and Congress gave much time to proposed legislation
designed to critically limit amateur radio activity. In 1911,
ALBERT HYMAN chose the controversial WIRELESS
REGULATION BILL as the topic for his Thesis at Harvard.
His instructor insisted that a copy be sent to Senator
DAVID I. WALSH, a member of one of the committees
hearing the Bill. The Senator was so impressed with the
thesis is that he asked HYMAN to appear before the
committee. ALBERT HYMAN took the stand and described
how the little station was built and almost cried when he
told the crowded committee room that if the BILL went
through that they would have to close down the station
because they could not afford the license fees and all the
other requirements which the BILL imposed on amateur
stations.
Congressional debate began on the WIRELESS
REGULATION BILL and little station "HAM" became the
symbol for all the little amateur stations in the country
crying to be saved from the menace and greed of the big
commercial stations who didn't want them around. The
BILL finally got to the floor of Congress and every
speaker talked about the "...poor little station HAM".
That's how it all started. You will find the whole story in
the Congressional Record.
Nation-wide publicity associated station "HAM" with
amateur radio operators. From that day to this, and
probably until the end of time in radio an amateur is a
"HAM"

Dear RVRC Member,

Please join us at the regularly scheduled ETS of NJ meeting on April 26th
for a special presentation:

COSMIC SNOWBALLS  

They were once thought to be omens of disaster and messengers of the gods.
They have inspired dread, fear, and awe in many different cultures and
societies around the world and throughout time. Unlike any other object in
the night sky, comets are still one the most intriguing celestial bodies in
the universe. Why did so many people cringe at the sight of these "cosmic
snowballs?"
 
Professor Gary Swangin (K2ITT) will discuss the history and origin of
comets,  and how these strange objects may yield important clues about the
formation of our Solar System. Among the other topics covered in the
presentation are:  famous comets; tracking and observing  ISON which may
become the brightest comet history; and meteor showers - the relatives of
comets.
 
Professor Swangin is the director and astronomer of the Panther Academy
Planetarium in Paterson, New Jersey and teaches astronomy at Passaic County
Community College. He produced the award-winning documentary, "Are we alone
in the universe?," sponsored by the American Chemical Society and W.R. Grace
& Co. As a ham radio operator, he is primarily a CW operator and an avid DX
chaser on the HF bands with five DXCC awards.

The meeting is Friday April 26th at 8pm at the Clark municipal building.
Information about our meeting place and ETS in general can be found at

I hope to see you then!

This is one of many stories relating the origin of the term Ham. The ARRL
book "160 meters and down" dismisses this origin, and suggests it grew out
of the 'derogatory' description that the fledgling commercial operators
gave to the amateurs that here hamming it up and interfering with their
broadcasts.

This has been a theological topic debated for almost forever.  The Great 
Book *Hello World, A life in ham radio* has several of the legendary 
reasons.  Check it out it is a great book.

I would agree with "160 and down"  My xyl works in a geriatric nursing 
home, and years ago she introduced me to one of her patients who was 90+ 
and a retired telegrapher.  It was nice chatting with this guy, and he 
told me hams were often looked down upon as lids in his line of work!  
He was never a ham, but claimed to never have forgotten cw!

Message-ID: <3CCE507641C9472BBB95AEA4D13BDFC7@marvbronsPC>

  Engineers and interns at Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California, are awaiting launch of Phonesat on a Antares rocket April 17, 2013. This small cubesat is one built under Ames Research Center's Small Spacecraft Technology Program.


  Phonesat will transmit its health status on amateur radio frequency 437.425 MHz using packet (AX.25). Amateur radio operators have the great opportunity to contribute to the project by submitting them to Phonesat's packets page at 

   PhoneSat project will demonstrate the ability to launch the lowest-cost and easiest to build satellites ever flown in space - capabilities enabled by using off-the-shelf consumer smartphones to build spacecraft. Engineers kept the total cost of the components to build each of the three prototype satellites in the PhoneSat project to $3,500 by using only commercial-off-the-shelf hardware and keeping the design and mission objectives to a minimum for the first flight.

All,
This weekend (4/19-21) my council will be putting on
ScoutFest 2013. We have over 1000 signed up and expect
more on Saturday.

We will have a special event station using the callsign
K2BSA/8. We are going to try to run from Friday noon to
Sunday noon. We might be off during the late night hours
but cannot say for sure. Operation will be on JOTA
frequencies for 20 and 40 meters.

QSL is by SASE and sent to me at:

c/o Muskingum Vly. Council, 734 Moorehead Ave.,
Zanesville, OH 43701

Hope to see your call in the log.

TNX

Matthew Murphy, KC8BEW

Dear RVRC Member,

Please join us at the regularly scheduled ETS of NJ meeting on April 26th
for a special presentation:

COSMIC SNOWBALLS  

They were once thought to be omens of disaster and messengers of the gods.
They have inspired dread, fear, and awe in many different cultures and
societies around the world and throughout time. Unlike any other object in
the night sky, comets are still one the most intriguing celestial bodies in
the universe. Why did so many people cringe at the sight of these "cosmic
snowballs?"
 
Professor Gary Swangin (K2ITT) will discuss the history and origin of
comets,  and how these strange objects may yield important clues about the
formation of our Solar System. Among the other topics covered in the
presentation are:  famous comets; tracking and observing  ISON which may
become the brightest comet history; and meteor showers - the relatives of
comets.
 
Professor Swangin is the director and astronomer of the Panther Academy
Planetarium in Paterson, New Jersey and teaches astronomy at Passaic County
Community College. He produced the award-winning documentary, "Are we alone
in the universe?," sponsored by the American Chemical Society and W.R. Grace
& Co. As a ham radio operator, he is primarily a CW operator and an avid DX
chaser on the HF bands with five DXCC awards.

The meeting is Friday April 26th at 8pm at the Clark municipal building.
Information about our meeting place and ETS in general can be found at
www.k2ets.com .

I hope to see you then!

Gerry,

I know you have the Buddipole and it's mobile. The AlexLoop has gotten 
rave reviews and it's also quite mobile and as a QRP antenna its 
popularity is growing every day. I think it is a good investment and 
travels well as a good companion to the KX3 in a hotel room, a park 
bench or a field day sight. Go for it and have a ball. Alex has a 
winning product there.

Drew, W2OU
