  a.. Sun watcher Tad Cook, K7RA, in Seattle, Washington, reports: Conditions were quieter again this week. Average daily sunspot numbers declined from 77 to 69, and average daily solar flux was off by 9.5 points to 106.9, when compared to the previous 7 days, August 22-28.

The autumnal equinox (September 22 at 2044 UTC) is a little over two weeks away. Fall is always a great time for HF DX, when the sun casts an even face over the northern and southern hemispheres. If this is the peak for cycle 24, although solar activity is weak, this may be the best time for enjoying HF propagation for some years to come.

Jim Nannery KC2ZXP has made some temporary repairs that have allowed the repeaters and the control computer to get back on line. One half of the battery backup system is out of service until further investigation can be performed and whatever repairs are needed can be made. As long as we do not experience a significant power outage, the repeaters should be available.  We hope to have a more complete status for the next meeting.

Message-ID: <1E69199DA39340E78CE6D4804F43878B@marvbronsPC>

Hi fellow RVRC members,

Just an interesting ''happening'' this morning; there was a super ''band opening'' on both VHF and UHF this morning.  I turned on my monitor and heard a net operating on 442.250 with full ''S'' meter readings. So I opened the tone-squelch and listened to a 'net' operating from NEWTOWN SQUARE, PA. (W3DI).  This repeater (442.250) was also linked to 147.195 which I also ''copied'' full quieting on my monitor with only a ''rubber-duck'' antenna!!!

While monitoring another frequency, I also monitored another net operating in Dover, DE on 146.970.  

So, the VHF/UHF bands were ''hot'' this morning and I suspect either it was ''tropo'' or cold-front related propagation.  I didn't have an antenna up to listen for 6 meter signals but I'll bet it was ''hot'' as well for north/south propagation.

The signal levels from the Newtown, PA repeater on 442.250 was astoundingly strong and was strong competition for our own repeater with strong heterodyning.

73,
Marv, K2VHW
P.S. Fall season is a great time for such openings...........keep an 'ear on' for opportunities to hear/work some ''DX''.  The ARRL VHF contest is coming up later this month as well!!!

Connie new blog

 

A dear friend of ours found the free service called CarePages a helpful way
to communicate updates about his spouse.  The nurse today helping Connie
reminded me of it and suggested I take advantage of the PC they have in
their Patient & Family Resource Center for folks to use.

 

I created PITASBLOG in honor of Connie. PITA is one of the many pet names we
have for each other. Yes, it's an acronym!

 

We would like to use this as our primary way of communicating information to
our many dear friends and extended family.  It's pretty painless.  You have
to create a signon with a password, for security purposes. They ask for your
email address, gender, and postal (zip) code.  Once you've signed on, you
can leave comments, either private (to me as page owner) or visible to
Connie's community.

 

That's all there is to it!

 

Please email me if you have issues with this.

Drew, this is for you, not the list, thanks. 

 

The neurosurgeon came down to tell us at 7:45 AM that the operation was
successful, that they got most of Connie's tumor out, and they were able to
relieve the pressure on her brain that caused the emergent event last night.

 

She'll be in the intensive care unit for most of the day, perhaps through
tomorrow, recovering from the trauma.  He's very pleased with the outcome,
and will be monitoring her closely to discern any possible deficits.

 

We still have a long road ahead: radiotherapy and chemo I'm sure. 

 

Thank you for all the prayers so far! 

 

Please keep them coming....73

Your League: ARRL Audio News Returns September 20!



"The ARRL AUDIO NEWS'' will return to the ARRL website Friday, September 20. The popular webcast has been on hiatus since June to install new technology and make several improvements. ARRL Public Relations Manager Sean Kutzko, KX9X, will be at the helm as producer and newscaster. Stories will come from that week's edition of "The ARRL LETTER", and the weekly webcast, approximately 15 minutes long, will be available each Friday afternoon for downloading as an MP3 file. Kutzko is inviting ARRL members to become a part of ARRL Audio News by submitting "station identifications" in MP3 format. 

"I'm looking for members to send me MP3 recordings, identifying who they are," he said. "They need to follow this script exactly: 'I'm ARRL Member <your name and call sign> of <your location>, and you're listening to ARRL Audio News.'" 

Kutzko says the audio needs to be as clear as possible, and the letters in your call sign need to be distinct, especially if your call sign contains a letter that sounds similar to other letters (such as B, C, D, G, Z, etc). "IDs that are clear and well-recorded will be considered for use in ARRL Audio News," he adds.

DX: XZ1Z Back on the Air from Myanmar (Burma)!

Jay Oka, JA1TRC, reports that XZ1Z returned to the air a day earlier than expected from Naypyidaw, Myanmar (Burma), the nation's capital. Two stations are on the air, with Zorro, JH1AJT; Champ, E21EIC; and Ted, JJ1LIB, as operators. 

Operation is primarily on CW and focused to the Americas. Wire antennas are in place for 160, 80, 40, 30 and 17, as well as a triband Yagi. By September 19, XZ1Z had been spotted on 80, 40, 20, and 17 meter CW and on 15 meter phone.



Oka says he plans to update the logs on ClubLog and upload to LoTW. He points out that local time in Myanmar is UTC + 6:30. The earlier XZ1Z operation has been approved for DXCC credit. 

Myanmar is the 24th most wanted DXCC entity, according to "Club Log". QSL to JH1AJT, PO Box 8, Oiso, Naka-gun, Kanagawa 259-0111, Japan. -- Thanks to " The Daily DX" via Jay S. OKA, JA1TRC

SK. Gerry can still use those thoughts and prayers.
Drew


Constance W. Jurrens b. June 4, 1948, Princeton, NJ d, September 22, 2013 at
the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA
Connie breathed her last at 7:45 AM here, shortly after I gave her a big
hug, "from all our friends, relatives and me" and assuring her that "we will
be all right."
Be assured that she did not suffer; the palliative care that she received
from the nurses, nursing assistants, pharmacists, housekeepers, technicians,
maintenance staff, and doctors (all of them our "ANGELS") in this journey
exceeded anyone's possible expectations. Their love and compassion for us
can never be fully repaid. It's a debt I will carry to my grave.
Our sons are on the way, I've prayed with the chaplain, the nurses have
prepared her body for transport back to NJ. I've spoken with John at
Mather-Hodge Funeral Home in Princeton, and arrangements will be made and
published here. Please do not hesitate to include anyone we may have missed
inviting to this community.
For now, I want to thank you all for your prayers, your positive thoughts,
and kind expressions of love and caring. We've been privileged to be a part
of your lives, as Connie was a part of yours. I hope you'll continue to
permit me to be a caring friend to you.
Most people don't know that Connie was born on a Friday. As the poem says,
"Friday's child is loving and giving." These are attributes I'm sure you'll
all agree suited Connie to a T.
Eternal rest, grant unto her O Lord
and let perpetual light shine upon her.
May she rest in peace. Amen.
May her soul and the souls of the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.

Subject: A call for volunteers - "Hope For The Warriors Run"

Over the course of a year, various clubs/ARES groups/RACES groups
support their communities by providing needed communications during
public service events.  A few of these events stand out, both due to
the need of a large amount of volunteers and for the special needs of a
particular event/group.

One group truly stands out.  They are our returning, wounded veterans
who have given so much on our behalf.  Each year, the "Hope for the
Warriors" organization holds a race in Babylon, N.Y. (Suffolk County)
to raise money for this worthy organization that supports our veterans.
 Attached is a call for support from the event communications team.

Normally I wouldn't bother the entire Division for a local event,
however, this one really pulls at the heartstrings and the team really
needs help this year in covering the event.  If you do only one public
service event this year, consider the Run for the Warriors.

After you read the release from the Comm Team, contact John Melfi W2HCB
if you can help out: w2hcb at arrl.net

- - - - - - -  Press Release - - - - - - - - - -  

Babylon Town ARES/Great South Bay ARC needs radio operators for this
year's "Hope for the Warriors Run."

This year the event will be held on Sunday, November 10th. The 10K and
5K runs will be different than last year, and with over 200 streets to
be closed we?re going to need a lot of operators.  To that end the
race committee has asked the club to line up at least 100 operators for
this year?s event. 

This organization does a tremendous job working with all of our
returning veterans who have come home upon the conclusion of their
service to the country. Upon their return these brave men and women are
facing difficulties over which they have no control.  Where their
government benefits end, the Hope for the Warriors organization seeks
to, ?...enhance the quality of life for post-9/11 service members,
their families, and families of the fallen who have sustained physical
and psychological wounds in the line of duty.   Hope For The Warriors?
is dedicated to restoring a sense of self, restoring the family unit,
and restoring hope for our service members and our military
families.? 

The event team would like to thank all who have come out to support
this run in past years. We cannot tell you how impressed this
organization is with all of the support they?ve received from the
amateur radio community for their run. 

For more information about this organization, visit them on the web at:
http://www.hopeforthewarriors.org/ 

To volunteer to help with the 2013 run please email John Melfi, Radio
Officer for the Town of Babylon at either  W2HCB at arrl.net,
radiorights at gmail.com, or leave a message with your call sign and phone
number so we can contact you at 631-669-6321. 

As usual we will meet at 7 a.m. sharp at the South Bay Diner, located
across from the Babylon Town hall at 200 East Sunrise Highway, in
Lindenhurst, N.Y.  The diner opens at 7 a.m. and will be ready to serve
you if you?d like to purchase breakfast or a cup of coffee.

Please join us this weekend, September 27th and 28th for our first live international broadcast of the National Hamfest from Newark, England. This is the United Kingdom's largest Amateur Radio Rally (hamfest). 

The rally is sponsored by the Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB), hosted by the Lincoln Shortwave Club, RSGB?s club of the year, and the video feed provided by the Sheffield Amateur Radio Club. This will be the fourth National Hamfest held at Newark. It keeps getting bigger and better each year. During the National Hamfest you will see major vendors with their new equipment; used equipment in the flea market area; and interviews with special guests. As always, you will have the opportunity to meet and chat with other ham radio operators from all over the world in the W5KUB.com chat room. 


During the past year, we have had over 40,000 viewers follow our broadcasts. W5KUB will not physically attend the National Hamfest but will work with members of the Sheffield Amateur Radio Club. The club will use their new GX3RCM trailer (previously the RSGB G4FUN trailer) that they recently won. This trailer will be used to promote amateur radio.

Just as a point of information,  I was watching TV this evening when my HT opened up on one of the frequencies I monitor (443.7).  At a ''full quieting'' signal I was listening to N3KZ (University of Penn.) located 175 miles from South Plainfield (My QTH)!!!   This is at ground level INSIDE my home!!!  It's now 11:30 p.m. and the band is still open.
