Does this make it an unlicensed transceiver regardless of what you do with it ?

Hi Sal,
No, It is not illegal to own one of these. You can only use it to transmit
on frequencies for which you are licensed. There were some laws that
restricted possessing a scanner capable of receiving police transmissions in
a vehicle. With most police going digital and or encrypted these days, they
may not be enforcing this as much.
73, Marty

The ARRL IT staff has been notified that Microsoft is blocking e-mail to the more than 20,000 members who use the arrl.net e-mail forwarding service to forward e-mail to Microsoft domains (hotmail.com, msn.com, live.com and outlook.com). In addition, the blockage is also affecting those members of the ARRL's Field Organization and other ARRL volunteers who use an arrl.org alias e-mail address to have e-mail delivered to an address with a Microsoft domain. According to ARRL Information Technology Manager Michael Keane, K1MK, the IT staff is working to have these blocks lifted and e-mail delivery restored to normal operation as quickly as possible.

Hi all,****

Our regular 3rd Saturday of the month NJQRP Club meeting date of 3/16
collides this time with the Trenton Computer Festival, a fabulous day
filled with technology presentations, ham flea market and electronic vendor
displays held on the campus of The College of New Jersey.****

In fact, three of us are actually presenting this year at TCF on the 16th:
Joe N2CX, Joe ?JJ? KC2VGL, and yours truly.  Joe and I have a killer
presentation on ?Ham Homebrewing:  Fun & Easy Projects?, which is a
collective overview (and pass-around examples!) of most of the kits and
projects we?ve done over the past two decades with the NJQRP, Atlanticon
and AmQRP.  We delivered a preliminary version of this show to the GCARC
Club last month, receiving rave reviews.  And then JJ is delivering a
knock-out presentation on Energy Harvesting Techniques!****


*So as a result, we are moving the March meeting of the NJQRP to the
following Saturday: March 23rd*.  It?ll be at the same place/time as usual
at the Brooklawn Community Center.****


*Now the theme for our March meeting:  The NJQRP Annual Swapfest!*  We are
pulling out the stops, and everything else in our basements, and bringing
them to the meeting for swap, cheap sale, and downright giveaway.  This is
an eagerly-anticipated event we have every year in the NJQRP and now is the
time to start identifying all the goodies you want to trade or get rid of.
Personally, Joe and I have a boatload to bring ? most of mine are
boatanchors, components and accessories that need to find a new home.  ****


So ? you?ll kick yourself if you miss either weekend coming up:  the TCF on
Saturday the 16th (see info below) and the NJQRP Swapfest Meeting on the 23
rd.****


See you there at both!****


73, ****

Message-ID: <CAO2dfsoNWoWBEdaMd-qQ4MKy4Fj9R_E01QrABz+bt=0kZdtjNA@mail.gmail.com>

For those who are in the David Sarnoff Radio Club -- the Ham Cram and
Exam is "our" event! Please publicize to folks you know who might want
to earn (or upgrade) their licenses. All ages are welcome to give it a
try! Attendees who only want to attend the Ham Cram and Exam event do
NOT have to pay the TCF fee -- just say you are there for that and
they should NOT charge you the $10. If you do want to attend some of
the talks that were mentioned in the prior message, those are part of
TCF and you'll need to pay the $10. Also, the Cram is free, but the
Exam is $14 (payable at the Exam). You can also take some advance
practice tests at <http://www.qrz.com/hamtest/>. Last year we had a
very good success rate and we should be able to duplicate (or better)
that this time.

BTW, the ROOM that the Ham Cram and Exam is scheduled for is PHY-128
-- that is the PHYSICS BUILDING at TCNJ, not Armstrong (where most of
the rest of TCF is being held). Ham Cram sessions are at 10:15 and
11:20 with a practice exam at 1:30 and the for-real exam at 3:40.
Probably we can use a few more volunteers to help out with the Cram
and Exam. Please contact Dennis McClary <denroymc at hotmail.com> to sign
up.

Hoping for a good turnout and cooperative weather (though it's
indoors, good weather will still help)!

73,

Rebecca KA3IAX.

Hello Everyone


At our March Meeting on 3/13/2013, the members in attendance requested that the Executive Board solicit input on the following matter.

Please note up front that this 'request for membership input' is not a binding voting mechanism.  This is purely input for the consideration of the Executive Board members.  The current club by-laws only allow for official email based voting in the case of Membership applications. 

Item for comment
Connection of the W2QW 440 Repeater to the WAN (Wide Area Network) Repeater system.

Several months ago, we had to disconnect our local machines from the Central NJ hub operated by KB2EAR and other owners of the various linked repeaters.  This resulted in a very 'quiet' 440 W2QW repeater.  
 
In an effort to expand usage and to give our members additional contact opportunities, the W3WAN - 
WAN Repeater System operators were contacted to see if there was a compatibility with our system.  The WAN operators were interested since we provide an eastward extension of their largely Pennsylvania centric network. Some of there PA based members travel to NYC and some of our members spend time in PA for various reasons.  It seemed like a reasonable match for a trial period.

You can find out more about the WAN repeater system here:

http://www.wanrepeater.com/

The link up was proposed as a 'full time' link to the primary WAN hub.  This is comparable to the way  we used to be connected to the CNJ Hub system.  As such, there are some periods where their primary users generate a fair bit of traffic in the form of RACES nets, county OEM nets, general group check in 'nets' (not unlike our Social Net) as well as traditional call-out / rag chew sessions.  We have been disconnecting from the WAN during our Sunday Social Net and also during the K2ETS General Information Net on Wednesday evenings.

The link with W3WAN has been discussed and was initially approved by members during a regular meeting.  After an initial period, some members have expressed concern that this activity is not necessarily relevant to our group.  At the same time, several other members have taken advantage of the opportunity to call local NJ friends while traveling or working in the WAN coverage area (roughly Pittsburgh to the Poconos and southward into NW Maryland).  Drive time rag chew is also pretty easy to get going also.

The RVRC Executive Board is seeking you input on this discussion item.

a.  Are you in favor of having W2QW connected to the WAN repeater system?

b.  Are you in favor of disconnecting the link to the WAN repeater system?

c.  Have you used the link and if so any comments (pro or con)?

d. Other Comments:

Please address your responses to the following email address for consideration:

eboard at w2qw.njpaasterisk.org

It order to avoid email overload - please do not 'Reply All' to the rvrc mailman list.  The Executive Board members will only consider email comments to the 'eboard' address listed above.  Any email reflector responses (rvrc mailman list) will not be considered.

The Executive Board has defined the 'comment period' to be 2 weeks (ending March 30) at which time the input will be summarized and a decision will be made by the board regarding how W2QW will or will not interact with the WAN network.  
 
Our President - KB2VRM - has stated that once the Executive Board makes their decision, that this will be final and further discussion will not be entertained at meetings so that other business can proceed in an orderly fashion.

Subject: [RVRC] Note to the membership on the RVRC reflector
Message-ID: <00cf01ce2380$a4739f70$ed5ade50$@optonline.net>

Members,

For those of you who remember there was a time when we had no way to
communicate via separate forum information of concern to the membership.
Believe it or not if someone wanted to send information to every member of
the club the email would be sent to me and I would find a way to disseminate
the message out including generated responses. This included information
from members, The ARRL, and unlimited areas of interest. The only
restriction was jokes whether appropriate or not. N2GJ and K2VHW did manage
to always slip in a few ham related cartoons. 

I would use separate mailing list so as not to trigger any spam measures
imposed by my ISP (CableVision). In the end the message got out responses
and all and if anyone wanted to direct information to the club you would
often hear send it to Drew. In addition to the separate email list I kept
separate list for different types of club memberships (Regular/Associate).
This has evolved and thankfully I'm out of the loop. I also created the
www.w2qw.org club website. I didn't do this because I didn't have a life or
I wanted to be popular, quite the contrary.

I create these vehicles to facilitate my ability to do my job as Secretary
of RVRC for the 15 years that I served supporting the club. Making club
documents available online to include copies of the last 2 years of meeting
minutes always made my job easier and put information club members needed
from time to time easily accessible. If you ever spent hours licking stamps
and folding material to be mailed and included SASEs you know what I'm
referring to. Two stamps to send a ballot out and the manual effort really
was unnecessary to acquire voting results from every eligible voter, but it
was important. Today the By-laws process for counting ballots is only
accurate up to the point the ballots are sent out. Anyways, Not to drift too
far, my use of digital tools to communicate to the membership and them to
freely communicate with each other is in place. Sometimes it pushes the edge
when issues get controversial, but it's the voice of the club. The website
also provides a central reference point for publicizing information about
RVRC and the RVRC repeater network. Our hosting service shows that many
people visit our site just to find out information about the club. It could
be our events, VE Sessions, Hamfest, etc. With the website members can
always use it as a source of reference to potential members, and the
secretary can continue to use it to inform the membership about club
documents, member roster, project underway and projects planned. It's always
been that way and it's always open to member contribution in subject matter
material.

Finally, when using the RVRC mailman reflector please keep in mind it's for
our members only. It's not intended to be a sounding board but a venue where
members should be encouraged to share information and ask question about
whatever goes on in the club they support. Replying to a message sends your
reply ONLY to the message originator, not the membership in general. Using
the reply-all will send your message to anyone shown in the To: and CC:
boxes. If you really wanted to send your message to the entire club the
safest way to address your email is to enter in the To: area
rvrc at mailman.qth.net or any other alias you may have set up in your contact
list. If you want to have any replies automatically sent to a specific email
address you can't instruct your email application to "send replies to". You
would have to do as Craig has instructed and request they use a specific
address. Otherwise, the reflector get very confused.

As our club president said 2 weeks ago nothing is decided by email in this
club. Voting is done at the club meeting, so in the absence of a By-laws
re-write a response to a survey should not be binding until it has been
ratified by a vote at an official RVRC Business meeting.

I hope everyone has a happy Saint Patrick's Day.

73,
Drew

Message-ID: <00A236BA951E4CA087E8EC82060AA4A8@marvbronsPC>

To the fellow members of RVRC;

  As I had mentioned earlier, the intention of the by-laws wherein it calls for voting on club business at the meetings (providing there is a quorum) was never intended to be used to exclude the membership as a whole. The refounding of RVRC was intended to afford the opportunities of discussing club business and to determine the club's direction.
Those of us who broke away from ETSNJ to refound RVRC some 40+ years ago were dissatisfied with the lack of cooperation among members of ETSNJ (at that time) and so we were intent on forming a club that worked together as a whole.  At that time we had a limit of membership (I believe it was 40 members) because we feared large membership problems might hamper our goal to have a unified organization. We've grown a little but the ideals remain the same.........

1. to encourage amateur radio activities and promote good fellowship among it's members

2. To stimulate and utilize the talents and interests of other members 

**3. To encourage work and topics to help promote interests of all members**

4. The club is not to be used as a means to promote private sales or advertising

5. member's private addresses and telephone numbers shall not be made available to outside interests

6. the Club shall not be used to promote political interests, and such subjects shall not be
introduced or discussed at any meeting.

The above is part of our by-laws...section II, PURPOSE OF THE CLUB.

Historically;

Before we ventured into any club project, a healthy discussion was had and even though we didn't have internet facilities, we talked about it via the repeater!  The REPEATER was our means of 'intercommunicating' and developing ideas.  Then these ideas were voted on with the majority of members in good standing having verbally determined our direction.  The ''technical committee'' (which included me) then acted accordingly and any expenditures then had to be voted on at a regular monthly business meeting. (Rarely, if at all, was there an emergency meeting needed because we discussed it ''over the repeater''!!! 
Now we have this internet medium which can be used to it's fullest capability for ''intercommunicating'' club member's (as a whole) wishes and thereby RVRC direction.  Once this majority opinion is made known, voting by the quorum at a scheduled monthly meeting can take place.

Therefore, I encourage all RVRC members to make your opinions, feelings, approvals, disapprovals and your disappointments known so that RVRC can succeed in it's goals as stated in our By-Laws!!!  

73,
Marvin

  Subject: Feedback

   

  Guys:
   
  My first reaction, to the request for Feedback, and this really is not on topic, is that I do not believe that the Constitution and By-Laws of the RVRC provide for any member, Board Member, Committee Chrman, or Executive of the club, to stiffle discussion and further business, of any issue that comes before the members. My interpretation is that presently the wording still says, or so it seems, and I think the Roberts Rules of Order will bear me out on this, that anyone can still make a motion to a course of action to be discussed or voted on, at a meeting. So, I think a member can still bring up this topic, or any other for that matter, at a meeting, a second can and has to be asked for, and a vote of those present at that meeting taken, provided the quorem requirement is met for that "gathering", the club meeting, for the club to handle business, at that meeting.  
   
  If the quorem isn't met, then obviously the person wanting to make a motion can, and is still entitled to make a motion, etc., at another meeting, quorem met. And again, unless a motion to discontinue, and end, all further discussion of a topic, has been voted on and approved, until such time as there is a material change in the nature of what was voted on for the topic, it cannot be ended w/o the members having a say. Further discussion, no matter how time consuming, cannot just be declared over and done with, for the convenience of the club, or its executives: that's the business of the club, discussing the here and now relevant to the club (not somebody's stamp collection to be a presentation at the next meeting !) ! (Asking for feedback is a step in the right direction). An example, might be if, after all these years, someone wants to move the hamfest date to the Fall, or perhaps have the club begin running a second hamfest, then that's a material change to the nature of the accepted practice of the club, as of now. (And I don't know if any of the minutes from years ago, show an actual date/weekend being selected in June, for running the hamfest! Its only an example to convey the idea.).
   
  I'll even say that I think Mike's action (or any other person, of those enumerated above), suggesting that there will no longer be any discussion of this (any) topic, has to be approved by the members first (at a meeting(?)). The RVRC docs don't seem to provide such broad powers to the Executive Committee, as I think the Exec. Comm. thinks they have, except interpreted, in an extreme emergency, and that is yet to be defined, as best we can word what we want it to say (Most likely an outside authority, such as Police, Fire, EMS, some other governmental authority, HazMat group, or maybe the rptr. site's owners themselves, rather than within the club itself, has requested a specific action be done, ASAP !).

Subject: [RVRC] Wake Island DXpedition this October..
Message-ID: <D9E47CC0950645AA815EAF7E0CE0B9E9@marvbronsPC>

March 2013
Dear Fellow DXers:

As you know, there is a group of highly experienced DXpeditioners that will be heading to Wake Island in October 2013, using the callsign K9W.
There were 98 civilian contractors working for Morrison-Knutsen who lost their lives on the atoll in October 1943. This group has been named the ?Forgotten 98?. Our operation, observing the 70th anniversary of their deaths, will be dedicated to keeping their memory alive and honoring their sacrifice. 
Team Leader is Lou N2TU, and the Management Team is Joe W8GEX, Craig K9CT, and Joe AA4NN. Wake ranks # 25 in DX Magazine?s ?Most Wanted Survey?, and # 15 in Club Log?s ?Most Wanted Entities?. A very experienced team has been formed, and they plan to operate five stations over a 14 day period, 160 to 6 meters on all modes. 
Wake Atoll?s access is limited and the time frame is dictated by transportation and weather. Official landing permission has been granted and a firm date will be announced soon.
As with other DXpeditions of this magnitude, this is an expensive adventure. Location, transportation, island costs, and other logistics make this costly. Therefore, we are requesting financial support from the DX community. We ask that you present this request to your club membership for consideration, and we sincerely appreciate any help your club can provide. 
Clubs that contribute over $500 will see their logo on the QSL card, and their logo will be on all presentations that will be shown worldwide. All contributions are also listed on our website. 
Procedures for making donations can be found on our website at www.wake2013.org. You may also contact our treasurer, Craig Thompson K9CT (craig at thompson.net) for assistance. Our website also shows the names of those that lost their lives there in 1943.
We look forward to hearing from you, and thank you in advance for your consideration and financial support.

Read about UHDTV..........or..............Ultra High Definition Television has come from proof of concept to reality!!

Here is the next generation of extremely high resolution television.  At this time it's pretty darn expensive (more than 4 times the price of current resolution HDTV) but it's available and it will eventually be the next hot item to become available at your local ''big-box'' stores!!!

Hello Cherryville!
?
Wanted to take a minute of everyone's day to stay in touch with everyone.?
Hamfest 2013 preparations are well underway, and we will need everyone's
help to make this year's 'fest a resounding success!? Success this year is
more important than ever so that we can have the funding needed to complete
the repairs and improvements to the main .375 repeater and purchase our
emergency operations trailer!
?
Hamfest 2013, on Saturday May 11,?will once again be held at North Hunterdon
Regional High School cafeteria, and we will need help with the usual areas:
?
Traffic & Parking
Vendor Assistance
Internal Security
Gate Ticket sales
Club Table
Food preparation & sales
Talk-In
?
?
Most important this year is getting five to six people to handle the
kitchen/food.? We have contacted the high school and determined what we must
do to be permitted to use the kitchen facilities.? Tom, NU2W and Doug,
KB2ZZW, have attempted to find an outside organization to handle the food
service, without success.? SO, we must step up and do this ourselves this
year.? As this year's hamfest chair, I need to have the food team filled out
well in advance of our scheduled hamfest date so we can get planning
completed.? I am seeking a motivated club member to lead this team!? I know
all of our members want this to be successful.? Please call me at
609-578-0618 or e-mail me at ka2oee at yahoo.com prior to our next club meeting
if you are willing to lead this essential part of our hamfest to success.? I
am looking forward to hearing from you!
?
I will bring a sign up chart to the next meeting for the other committees.?
Please consider how you will contribute to our success and sign the chart at
the April club meeting.
?
Other club information for your knowledge includes:
?
1.? 147.375 is running on the backup transmitter while the Henry amplifier
is out for repairs.? 
2.? 147.015 is running on exciter power only until the replacement amplifier
is received
3.? Ballots for officer elections for 2013/14 have been mailed by the
secretary.? Please be sure to fill yours out and return it by the start of
the April meeting so your votes will be counted.? Keep in mind, if your dues
are not paid current by the start of the April meeting, your ballot cannot
be counted.? Dues for this year are $30.? Please see the treasurer, WB1GOT,
or mail you dues to the club P.O. box.
4.? Field Day 2013 is coming up in a few months, co-chaired by Kurt, KR2C
and Glenn, AC2BH.? Be thinking about how you will help us make this year's
better than last years.
?
For those of you who have not heard, Barry, K2BC, is leaving our lovely area
on his way to Texas!? Many of you may want to reach out to him to give your
best wishes prior to his departure.? Barry has been a club member for many
years and has contributed greatly over the years to the successes of CRA.? I
am sure you will agree that he will be missed very much!
?
Well, that's it for now.? Keep one eye on your e-mail box for more club news
items coming your way!
?
Very best regards,
?
Bob Grear, KA2OEE
Your President

TO All Members,

This email is to inform you of the tech. committee's handling of the
unlicensed use of the 440 repeater and changes that needed to be made to
help limit the interference. at this time the FCC has been informed and is
looking in the issues as the know who the person is. thank you to Pete
kd3arb for talking to the FCC. from now on after 10 P.M. the system will
be placed in sleep mode what this will do is is keep our Rx turned off in
less the  link is active or we bring it up via dtmf after the repeater is
quite for 10 Min the RX will shut off. OK so here are the commands

*57 will bring on the RX when in sleep mode
*58 will shut off the RX right away overrides the timer
