Dear Drew:

 

We're pleased to tell you that Director Lisenco has approved the application
of the Raritan Valley Radio Club to hold an ARRL approved hamfest in
Piscataway, NJ on June 21, 2014.

 

As part of your agreement in becoming an ARRL-affiliated event, please
remember to prominently display the ARRL diamond when promoting the event on
web sites, in e-mails, advertisements and all other program material.  The
ARRL logo can be obtained from www.arrl.org/logos-photos.

 

Approximately three weeks prior to the event, I will send gift certificates
for ARRL publications to be used as door prizes.  To order other materials
available at low- or no-cost to help represent ARRL membership and Amateur
Radio recruitment, including brochures, hanging and standing banners,
tabletop displays, table throws, and other giveaways (pens, magnets and
stickers), please visit www.arrl.org/shop/Forms-and-Media-Warehouse/.  See
the attached brochure for more information.  For effective coordination of
ordering these materials and organizing the ARRL exhibit, you may want to
contact your ARRL Division Director or ARRL Section Manager. 

 

Good Luck!  We wish you the best for a successful event.

 

Let us know if there is anything else we can do to help with your hamfest
plans.

Members,

Some emails are being sent out to recipients on Dennis Kopecky' s email
contact list. Dennis became a silent key on June 5, 2013. Apparently his
email(s) haven't been deactivated (wj2r at msn.com and w2iu at hotmail.com ).
There is a link in the email. Please don't click on the link as your
computer may be infected by a virus. It seems his email(s) has been hacked.

            If you really want one of these 'PDP' TV's, better hurry!
           
            release date: November 15, 2013 
     
            PANASONIC FORMALLY ENDS PRODUCTION OF PLASMA DISPLAY PANELS
            Panasonic Corp. (Osaka, Japan) formally announced today that, ?in order to create a business structure that can respond to changes in the business environment and to accelerate the growth strategy of the company, the company will end the production of plasma display panels (PDP) in December 2013, and stop business operations at the Amagasaki P3 Factory (production currently stopped), the Amagasaki P5 Factory (production currently suspended) and the Amagasaki P4 Factory, which is currently operating, by the end of March 2014.?
            Here is the rest of the company?s announcement:
            ?In the display panel business, Panasonic has been promoting the development of non-TV applications and carried out various restructuring measures, such as reduction of fixed costs, for both PDP and LCD panels. Through further fundamental business restructuring, the company is aiming to optimize the business and focus its management resources. 
            ?Since 2000, Panasonic has promoted its PDP business and led the global flat panel 
            display market with its strategy of utilizing PDP for large displays and LCD for small- and medium-sized displays. 
            ?However, with the rapid development of large-screen LCDs, and facing the severe price competition in the global market brought on by the Lehman Shock in September 2008, the company consolidated production in the Amagasaki P4 Factory, made a shift toward commercial applications and worked to improve the earnings of the business. 
            ?Until now, due to the superiority of the picture, Panasonic?s PDPs have received high appraisal and there has been firm demand from customers worldwide. However, due to rapid, drastic changes in the business environment and a declining demand for PDP in the flatpanel display market, it was judged that continuing the business would be difficult and a decision was made to stop production. 
            ?The company will end sales of plasma TVs for consumer use and PDP related products for commercial use, such as Interactive Plasma Displays, with the products for FY 2014 (ending March 31, 2014). However, by selecting display panels that are most suitable for each product for both consumer and commercial use, Panasonic will work to develop and provide appealing products that meet the demands of customers, and will aim toward new development of its visual and display businesses.?

Subject: [RVRC] Election time is here!!
Message-ID: <009101cee32e$3107f950$9317ebf0$@optonline.net>

Hello RVRC members,

The time of year is here again where we have a responsibility to hold
ELECTIONS for officers of the club.

All positions are open and we need nominations and volunteers to fill the
position of President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Any members
that are interested in serving in one of the positions is asked to volunteer
as soon as possible. We are behind the eight ball at this time. A nominating
committee was supposed to have been in place and have presented a full slate
of officers at the October business meeting. Additional nominees would have
been accepted from the floor at that time.

Our election is to take place at the December Business Meeting and the newly
elected officers seated at the January 2014 meeting. In addition to the
normal slate of officers the current administration is looking for someone
to serve as a membership chairperson. It's important that we grow our
membership to be able to operate as an interesting Amateur Radio Club. The
incumbents of the above offices have done a great job. 

If you are not interested in any of the above positions perhaps you would
like to chair a Hamfest committee, organize a public service event, deliver
a presentation to the membership on a ham related topic, be an organizer for
a fund raising event. Etc. We need you as a member to be involved. So,
between now and the December meeting send your name and position desired or
the name of a member you want to nominate for a position to Marty Friedman
at (radiomf at comcast.net ) and let's make 2014 a year of accomplishments.

73,
Drew Moore, W2OU

Members,

Winter is fast approaching and volunteers are appreciated in helping to
clear the repeater site and assisting Susan in a number of ways. In the past
members have split and stacked wood and shoveled the drive and walkways to
permit access to the home and repeater in the garage. Thanks to the
volunteering of AC2FE, K2KPA, W2IU, KC2RDU, KC2OOP and perhaps others the
carnage from last winter's storms was mitigated by their actions.

The need for help is anticipated again for this winter. If you can help,
please feel free to contact Susan at nw2p at w2qw.net or lund_s at att.net . Her
telephone number is 908-251-3937. Kenny insists that anyone splitting wood
be thoroughly familiar with the use of the equipment.

Message-ID: <490F95FEFDE04E0BB9352EAABE05D3F1@marvbronsPC>

Authorities in Somerset County widen their distracted driving crackdown 

11/19/2013


Authorities in Somerset County are expanding their enforcement of distracted driving, deploying extra traffic patrols on random days of the week. The target is to cut down on drivers using hand-held cell phones while behind the wheel. The Somerset County Prosecutor's Office and several other top law enforcement officials say the problem is growing, which is why they're expanding their two-year-old "Put It Down" initiative. Statistics show that last year, 44-percent of all crashes in Somerset County were caused by driver inattention or distracted driving. The first six months of this year, that number was up to 46-percent. And the numbers are even higher for new drivers, in the 16-to-21-year-old age group.



Be aware that Somerset County is 'on patrol' for distracted drivers.  Police will not know your HT or handmic is not a cellphone and if you get stopped, the likelihood is you'll receive a summons. It is also unlikely that once pulled over, you will not be successful with changing the officer's intent to issue a summons!!!   

BEING FOREWARNED IS BE FOREARMED!!!!

year.  I?d appreciate hearing from you  by November 28 (Thanksgiving) so I
can then start assigning  folks to the classes.

No experience is necessary as the classes are in PowerPoint and we always
team up new instructors with veterans.   We all have as much fun as the
kids and we?ve gotten a lot of new hams for the area over the years.

Subject: [RVRC] Arc-Fault circuit interrupter RFI issues
Message-ID: <F3278FCCD5654EC988D0E0D3462989D7@marvbronsPC>

>From ARRL LETTER;  (If you have AFCI in your house and they trip from RF operation, read this)

Your League: ARRL Helps Manufacturer to Resolve Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter RFI Problems
The ARRL Lab has worked with a manufacturer of arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) breakers to resolve complaints that Amateur Radio RF was causing certain breaker models to trip unnecessarily. Like the more common ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), the AFCI is a safety device. Primarily designed to detect problems that could result in a fire, AFCIs detect potentially hazardous arc faults that result from often unseen damage or poor connections in wiring and in extension cords and cord sets. 

"Several months ago we started receiving reports from amateurs that when they transmitted, their AFCI breakers were tripping," said Mike Gruber, W1MG, the ARRL Lab's EMC specialist. He noted that the issue has been a topic of online ham radio discussions as well as on homeowner sites; it seems that stray RF is not the only thing that can cause a "nuisance trip" of an AFCI. Gruber pointed out that the National Electrical Code (NEC) already requires AFCIs in some household circuits, but not all US jurisdictions have adopted the requirement.  

     

Gruber said that as AFCIs became more common in new construction in the US, reports started coming in that AFCIs in the vicinity -- not just in the radio amateur's home -- would trip in the presence of RF from an Amateur Radio transmitter. While each manufacturer's design is proprietary, most AFCIs detect arcs by monitoring the shape of the alternating current waveform, changes in current levels, voltage irregularities, and the presence of high frequency emissions or "noise." The ARRL Lab dug into the problem. 

"Last summer we built a test fixture in which we could test any type of circuit breaker," Gruber said. It involved using W1AW as an RF source. Gruber said he bought one of "every AFCI that I could get my hands on," but when the Lab began testing them during W1AW transmissions, none of the devices tripped. 

A ham in New Mexico who had reported AFCI problems sent some of his breakers to the ARRL Lab, "and those tripped when we tested them," Gruber said. The problematic breakers were certain models made by Eaton Corporation. "We already had an Eaton breaker, an older model, but it did not trip," he noted, adding that the breaker had a yellow button. The newer model, which had a white button, did trip in the presence of RF, however, even at power levels down to about 50 W on 17 meters. 

Gruber contacted Eaton, and two of the manufacturer's engineers visited ARRL Headquarters in August. "Eaton was extremely cooperative and eager to resolve this," Gruber recounted. "They spent the day with us, going over our test methods and took some of the problematic breakers back with them, eventually developing a modified version. 

"We have just finished testing the new version of the breaker, and it did not trip during W1AW transmissions and in other tests," Gruber reported. He said the new breaker is still in the queue for UL approval. 

Eaton Engineering Director Andy Foerster said arc fault detection is challenging, in part because so many common household devices -- such as vacuum cleaners and power tools that use motors with brushes -- create arcing. In information provided to ARRL Eaton engineer Lanson Relyea said that because AFCIs rely on HF emission detection to verify arcing, "any signal that conducts or radiates a signal within the detection band of the AFCI can cause interference and cause the device to trip without the presence of a true arcing condition." 

Eaton and ARRL agreed that when the manufacturer comes out with any new models of breakers, it will ask the League to test them at W1AW. "It's a win-win situation," Gruber said. Eaton also has agreed to work with anyone having a problem with RF tripping its AFCIs. 

Hams experiencing unwanted tripping problems with their or their neighbors' AFCIs should first contact the manufacturer. In the case of Eaton breakers, contact Bob Handick (412-893-3746) or Joe Fello (412-893-3745).

Hello to all our ?Last Man Standing? Ham Radio family, friends and fans.

This Friday, November 22nd on ABC** at 8:00 PM Eastern and 7:00 PM Central, Mike Baxter (Tim Allen) finally makes contact on the radio! ?Mike? uses 20 meters to ask the ham community a question. About 100 hams respond, causing a pile-up. The pile up was created using audio clips sent in by viewers who are actually licensed ham radio operators.

Mike goes on to VLOG about ham radio, the FCC, freedom and societal regulations.

The scene was shot in the Mike Baxter basement radio shack which features a fully functioning, state of the art ham station.

If you only watch one ?Last Man Standing? this season, this is the one you should see.

Was tuning around, looking for either the Swan or Heathkit net about an 
hour ago, and stumbled on a great show on 14.295.

N4TAT was saying that his rig did not have a SWR meter, or that he 
"couldn't find it".  I couldn't hear the other guy, but N4TAT kept 
asking if he could give him a SWR reading on his (N4TAT's) signal. I 
guess the other guy must have given him grief, as N4TAT kept saying that 
he "couldn't understand what the problem was, all I need is my SWR 
reading."!

So then, I guess the other left to get a stiff drink, and N4TAT called 
CQ.  He was answered by K9JBM.  Now I don't know what was scarier, N4TAT 
asking him for the SWR on receive, or K9JBM giving him his SWR!

According to QRZ.com N4TAT is a General, licensed _since 2007_; K9JBM is 
a Tech, licensed since June 2013.

You can't make this stuff up.

Well there's more than meets the eye here. I would say N4TAT has been a ham
longer that the dates shown on QRZ. Anyone with 20k lookups has been around
awhile. The date your seeing is either a renewal date or the date he
received his vanity call. Who knows how long k9bjm was a tech plus with HF
privileges before it was changed to technician designation. I suspect his
licensed lapsed at some point. There's more to this story. Somehow I think
the request for SWR was a spoof going on between them.

Drew

There is no reason K9JBM should be operating on 14.295. Let's hope the call
was copied incorrectly.

Well there's more than meets the eye here. I would say N4TAT has been a ham
longer that the dates shown on QRZ. Anyone with 20k lookups has been around
awhile. The date your seeing is either a renewal date or the date he
received his vanity call. Who knows how long k9bjm was a tech plus with HF
privileges before it was changed to technician designation. I suspect his
licensed lapsed at some point. There's more to this story. Somehow I think
the request for SWR was a spoof going on between them.

That was understood, another part of the sad story.
