Christie
Declares State of Emergency In Preparation For Tuesday Night?s Severe 
Winter
Weather


Posted: Feb 04, 2014 7:34 PM EST<em class="wnDate">Tuesday, February 4, 
2014 7:34
PM EST</em>Updated: Feb 04, 2014 7:34 PM EST<em class="wnDate">Tuesday,

Trenton, NJ ? In anticipation of the severe winter weather
expected to arrive in New Jersey tonight, Governor Chris Christie 
declared a
State of Emergency, authorizing the State Director of Emergency 
Management to
continue coordinating the preparation, response and recovery efforts for 
the
storm with all county and municipal emergency operations and 
governmental
agencies. Governor Christie also authorized the closing of state offices 
on
Wednesday, February 5th for all non-essential employees.

"Tonight's winter weather is expected to produce snow and
ice, creating hazardous travel conditions and affecting areas throughout 
the
state that are already recovering from yesterday's storm," said Governor
Christie. "I've authorized state officials to continue all necessary
actions to assist, and my Administration will continue monitoring 
conditions
throughout the remainder of the storm. I encourage all New Jerseyans to 
drive
carefully and remain off the roads if possible so that our first 
responders and
public safety officials can safely respond to any emergency situations."

Tonight's storm is expected to continue into tomorrow afternoon,
bringing additional snow and ice to areas that experienced significant 
snowfall
during yesterday's storm. A potential mixture of hazardous travel 
conditions,
fallen trees, power outages and flooding are anticipated.

It appears to be basically in a "paddle key" mode. I don't know if 
there's
an optio for straight key. I don't know if there's an option for 
International

Members,

The weather prediction for tomorrow could produce snow in our area tomorrow
during the time of out W2QW Business Meeting.

With this in mind and the utmost concern for the safety of members the
meeting has been cancelled on the strong suggestion for Jim Nannery our club
Vice President.

Please stay home and off the roads and button down all the hatches. Thursday
would be a great time to telecommute or work a fellow ham on the radio.

Of course I will do my usual dual monitor trick but at a very low level.

My basic plan for the net tonight is to first of all I will LINK the repeaters,

Start the net making the announcement that we are conducting the RVRC meeting ON THE AIR.

I willTurn control of the net over to RVRC - like on of he officers who can conduct checkins etc and run the meeting.

When the meeting adjurns they can return control to me and I will close the net.

This was a GREAT idea, Marv is like an old Chevy or fine wine, he is improving as he ages.

My only regret is that I didn?t think of it when I cancelled the ETS meeting

Message-ID: <006d01cf2820$3085bfd0$91913f70$@optonline.net>

Members,

This is a follow up reminder to alert the membership that tonight's RVRC
Business meeting in Hillsborough has been cancelled due to the impending
snow event. Please stay comfortable in your homes and hunker down before
tomorrow's fun activity of digging out. Alerts about the meeting
cancellation will be broadcast throughout the day. As the storm approaches
the W2QW repeater will be linked to the ETSNJ VHF repeater. If anyone needs
assistance there will be control operators monitoring the repeaters.

The ETSNJ repeater net will be conducted tonight and the NCS will be Jeff
Lih, N2VHV. As always RVRC members are invited to participate in their net.
The net check in starts at 8pm. Please join in if you can. Access is via any
of the respective club repeaters or via echolink or the web transceiver.

73,
Drew, W2OU

Jeff,

 

Thank you for planning to conduct your information net tonight. Please run it as you would usually conduct the net. We have no intention to conduct the RVRC meeting on the air, but have invited the RVRC membership to join in your net. Perhaps in the future we can put some thought in how to conduct an over the air business meeting properly. Thanks for the offer.

Subject: [RVRC] A Very Important Email to Hams in the 6th Congressional
	District - NJ
Message-ID: <001901cf2db7$87157830$95406890$@optonline.net>



Subject: A Very Important Email to Hams in the 6th Congressional District - NJ

Hello,

Today I am writing specifically to those ARRL members who reside in the
6th Congressional District in New Jersey.

As you may know, the FCC has informed Congress that it will NOT extend
the same PRB-1 protections from unreasonable zoning ordinances to hams
living in residential developments with covenants, conditions, and
restrictions (CC&Rs) UNLESS DIRECTED TO DO SO BY CONGRESS.

The ARRL has responded to this by seeking a bill which, if passed by
Congress, would clearly instruct the FCC to do exactly what we need
done.  We hope to have this Bill introduced in the coming weeks and now
need co-sponsors.

Perhaps the best method to get our Bill co-sponsored is by direct
?grass-roots? efforts within a legislators? districts.  Your
representative in Congress is Congressman Frank Pallone (D-NJ).  Rep.
Pallone sits on the House Energy and Commerce Committee and its
Communications and Technology sub-committee.  (This sub-committee will
be where our Bill will be sent for consideration.)   As such he is
critically important to this effort.

My approach is the same as one I?ve used before which proved
successful in bringing our concerns to Congressman Peter King in 2012
after the introduction of HR-607.  It is the same approach we are using
with another member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee from
upstate New York.

I NEED YOUR HELP!  I want to put together a team of hams who are also
Rep. Pallone?s constituents.  Since the Congressman is a Democrat, in
this instance it would be ideal if our team of hams include some who are
active in local Democratic Party politics.  Republicans are welcome too.
(This isn?t about party politics ? it?s about protecting Ham Radio
from the largest threat we have now!)  To be successful in our
endeavor we need Congressional co-sponsors from both sides of the
aisle.

Perhaps one of you knows Rep. Pallone personally and can get us into
his office for a meeting.  We can also use a ham who lives in a CC&R
community in that Congressional District and can?t put up even a
simple wire antenna.  Someone who is an active participant in local
Amateur Radio activities such as ARES or RACES would be of great help
as well.

This is an easy matter of taking our concerns to the person who is
elected to help us. We will be well-received in the office when we
visit. We need to be proactive if we are to protect our ability to put
up antennas.  Remember, without our antennas we?re not hams; we?re
SWLs.

Please get back to me ASAP if you fit any of these descriptions as I
will be putting this team together with the goal of approaching the
Congressman?s office just after the Bill is introduced.

Tnx es vy 73 de Mike N2YBB

Drew,
I've been doing a little house keeping. I have 5 years of recent QST's 2009 through 2013 sorted and bundled
by year. Before I put them into recycling, I wanted to reach out to the club to see if anybody wanted them.
If someone is interested, I can bring them to the next club meeting and it's theirs for the taking.
Thank you,
Bill W2CA

Subject: [RVRC] Allstar Web Transceiver - Java errors
Message-ID: <8D0FC23BD15E23B-2AD8-FFC3@webmail-d159.sysops.aol.com>


Members

Here is a workaround for those members that use the Allstar Web Transceiver (https://allstarlink.org).  

Several members have experienced application startup failures due to recent Java updates.  Users that have automated Java updates turned on have probably received the most recent update - Java 7 Update 51.  This version requires a specific permissions attribute in the Web Transceiver JAR file that gets downloaded to your browser.  Currently the JAR file does not contain the attribute so you must explicitly enable a site exception in order to download the application if you are using Java 7 Update 51.  

The alternative is to use a back level of Java such as Java 7 Update 45. 
This option has more risk and I would not recommend that unless you are very sure of sites you may want to visit.  
The main improvement with Update 51 is better security so the following workaround for the web transceiver is safer in my opinion.

This description is based on Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11.  Your steps may vary slightly for other combinations.

First step: Verify you have Java 7 Update 51
>From 'Start' => 
Type 'Configure Java' in the Search bar at the bottom  => 
Select the 'Configure Java' application which opens as the Java Control Panel =>
Go to the 'Java' tab => click 'View' => confirm that Java 1.7.0_51 is enabled (skip to next step if yes)
Close the window - return to the main Java Control Panel => 'Update' tab => 'UpdateNow' button
Follow instructions on the Oracle Java website
When finished reopen the Java Control Panel and follow steps to verify Java 1.7.0_51 is enabled (disable other versions)

Second step: Add an Exception
Java Control Panel => 'Security' tab
     My settings include: 'Enable Java content in the browser' (checked), Security Level = High (recommended) =>
Click 'Edit Site List' =>
Add https://allstarlink.org to 'Locations' list => select OK twice to close the Java Control Panel

You should now be able to load the Web Transceiver application from the https://allstarlink.org website.
You will probably get a warning message - Check 'I accept the risk and want to run this application.'
You can avoid future security prompt in the 'Show Options' dropdown.

Please note the application developer is aware of the underlying issue with the JAR file and it will probably be fixed in a reasonable time.

Subject: KB6NU's Ham Radio Column: Is 25% asking too much?

Hi all: 

Here's my February 2014 column.

73,

Dan Romanchik, KB6NU

ARRL membership: Is 25% asking too much?

By Dan Romanchik, KB6NU

In the March 2014 issue of QST, ARRL CEO Harold Kramer, WJ1B, makes a big deal of the fact that ARRL membership is now up to 162,200 members and is growing at a rate of about 1% per year. After patting the ARRL on the back about this, WJ1B launches into a discussion of the different programs that WJ1B feels have contributed to the membership growth.

Let's take another look at the numbers, though. As the editorial points out, 10,300 ARRL members are international members, meaning that 151,900 U.S. hams are ARRL members. Another article in the March issue, "New Licenses," notes that the total number of licensed radio amateurs at the end of 2013 was 717,201. If you do the math, you'll find that only slightly more than one in five licensed radio amateurs are ARRL members. I personally don't think that's so hot, and it's certainly not worthy of all the self-congratulation going on in this editorial.

The licensing article also points out that "the amateur radio population in the US grew by slightly more than 1 percent last year." That being the case, ARRL membership has grown at about the same rate. If all the programs noted in WJ1B's editorial were so effective, wouldn't you expect membership growth to be at least 2%?

I've said this before, and I'll say it again. I think the ARRL should set a goal to enroll at least 25% of licensed radio amateur as members. I think that this is achievable, and it seems to me that any group calling itself "the national organization for amateur radio" should have at least one in four amateur radio licensees as part of its membership. 

What do you think? Is reaching 25% asking too much? If you think I'm right, please reach out to your ARRL division director and tell him so. More members would mean that the ARRL could deliver more services and have more clout in Washington. That sounds like a good thing to me.

===================================================

When he's not worrying about ARRL membership, Dan, KB6NU enjoys working CW on the HF bands, teaching amateur radio classes, and building kits.
