Subject: [RVRC] Saturday VE test session.
Message-ID: <e668fdf5216b.538b7e1b@optonline.net>

The raritan Valley radio Club VE test this past saturday went well. We had six
people taking the exams and now we have a new Extra, a new Tech and  4 new Generals.
The new General class are Richard Nixon KD2GLT, James Moffat, Lorenz Haelsergen, 
and Henry Marsman K1HSM.  I want to express my thanks to Drew W2OU, Marvin K2VHW and Marty KB2JSG for their support at the VE exam on Saturday.

                                     Sincerely, John Manna WA2F

Excellent - I'm sorry I was unable to help out at the session since my
parents were in town.  Sounds like it went very well!

Guys,

 

                I'm going to offer this to club members first, and then
bring it to the hamfest if no one here has any interest.

 

                I bought a Connect Systems CS700 UHF portable in March. The
radio does analog & DMR digital (mostly known in the US as MotoTRBO). The
repeater I was using in Budd Lake (K2SRT) went off-line in early May due to
failure of the finals. The owner has stated that he will probably not put
the repeater back up in that location, as he has one of the new Yaesu
digital repeaters as well & wants to try it at that location.

 

                This effectively renders the unit useless to me, as I'm not
in range of anything else here in my part of Warren County. I'm going to
offer the unit + the programming cable for $150.00. The software is free
from the manufacturer, but you MUST register for a free radio ID at
www.dmr-marc.net <http://www.dmr-marc.net>  before you can operate on DMR
digital networks.

 

                The specifics of the unit are here:
http://www.connectsystems.com/products/top/radios%20CS700.htm

 

                The video I made of the unit in action can be seen here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNqnm57Patk

 

                Bryan, WB0YLE has stated in the past that they are currently
working on coordination for a UHF machine to go up in the Martinsville area,
so this might be of interest to you guys down there. The radio is in mint
condition - not a mark on it anywhere. Anyone interested should contact me
direct (off the list).

Subject: [RVRC] Botnets and ransomware infections
Message-ID: <58E761318DDF42F296D9D7BFDBF96157@marvbronsPC>

'Ransomware' and 'botnets' are prevalent on the Internet so you need to keep your guard up. The first tries to extort money from the user by remotely encrypting their (infected) hard drive/data and only providing the 'unlock key' if they pay the ransom. The second uses the users PC (and name) to send viruses and ransomware to others, possibly from the PCs address book. Below are two links to recent articles that describe the problems and help you scan your computer and erase any infections, avoid these headaches. 


These viruses are also a good argument for regular 'drive image' backups of your computer. Should somebody mess with your computer, you will have a 'backed-up good copy' to reinstall your operating system and all your programs. As always, never 'click' on suspicious emails or on 'pop-ups' claiming that your computer is infected or for a free virus scan. Exit and use your own installed good virus scan program, with latest updates, to check your computer. 


International law enforcement authorities over the weekend took control of two hacker networks that have infected more than a million computers worldwide to steal banking information and lock devices until users pay a ransom, U.S. officials announced Monday. People should run security tests on their computers within the next two weeks, before the masters of the botnets have a chance to regain control, the United Kingdom?s National Crime Agency says.

Guys,

 

                I'm going to be giving away both of my Baofeng HT's to
whomever wants them at the hamfest (free to a good home). They aren't 'up to
snuff' to survive what I need them for at work.

 

                The older UV-5R+ is in 7.5 to 8 in condition, the UV-82L is
a 9. They will both come with 2 battery packs. 

 

                See me after we have the initial setup & parking underway -
first come, first serve!

Super. Maybe the club could use them for loaners to attract new members.

By the way if you're talking about Asher Marks then the radio we gave 
him was a PITA and? barely worked. He did become a member as well as his 
father. That was a success.

Subject: FCC Okays Changes to Amateur Radio Exam Credit, Test Administration, Emission Type Rules

NEWSFLASH - - - THIS JUST IN - - - 

In a wide-ranging Report and Order (R&O) released June 9 that takes
various proceedings into consideration, the FCC has revised the Amateur
Service Part 97 rules to grant credit for written examination elements 3
(General) and 4 (Amateur Extra) to holders of ?expired licenses that
required passage of those elements.? The FCC will require former
licensees ? those falling outside the 2-year grace period ? to pass
Element 2 (Technician) in order to be relicensed, however. The
Commission declined to give examination credit to the holder of an
expired Certificate of Successful Completion of Examination (CSCE) or
to extend its validity to the holder?s lifetime.

?Our decision to grant credit for written examination Elements 3 and
4 for expired licenses that required passage [of those elements] will
provide some relief for former General, Advanced, and Amateur Extra
class licensees,? the FCC said, ?and is consistent with how we
treat expired pre-1987 Technician class licensees who want to reenter
the Amateur Service.? Pre-1987 Techs can get Element 3 credit, since
the Technician and General class written examinations in that era were
identical. The Commission said current rules and procedures that apply
to expired pre-1987 Technician licenses ?are sufficient to verify
that an individual is a former licensee under our new rules.?

The Commission said that requiring applicants holding expired licenses
to pass Element 2 in order to relicense ?will address commenters?
concerns about lost proficiency and knowledge, because a former
licensee will have to demonstrate that he or she has retained knowledge
of technical and regulatory matters.? The FCC said the Element 2
requirement also would deter any attempts by someone with the same name
as a former licensee to obtain a ham ticket without examination.

In 1997 the FCC, in the face of opposition, dropped a proposal that
would have generally allowed examination element credit for expired
amateur operator licenses. In the past, the FCC has maintained that its
procedures ?provide ample notification and opportunity for license
renewal? and that retesting did not impose an unreasonable burden.
The issue arose again in 2011, with a request from the Anchorage
Volunteer Examiner Coordinator.

The FCC pulled back from its own proposal to reduce from three to two
the minimum number of volunteer examiners required to proctor an
Amateur Radio examination session. The ARRL, the W5YI-VEC and ?a
clear majority of commenters? opposed the change, the FCC said. The
FCC said it found commenters? arguments persuasive that that the use
of three VEs ?results in higher accuracy and lower fraud that would
be the case with two VEs.? In a related matter, though, the
Commission embraced the use of remote testing methods.

?Allowing VEs and VECs the option of administering examinations at
locations remote from the VEs is warranted,? the FCC said. The
National Conference of Volunteer Examiner Coordinators (NCVEC) in 2002
endorsed experimental use of videoconferencing technology to conduct
Amateur Radio testing in remote areas of Alaska. The Anchorage VEC has
long pushed for the change, citing the expense to provide Amateur Radio
test sessions to Alaska residents living in remote areas.

The FCC declined to address ?the mechanics? of remote testing,
which, it said, ?will vary from location to location and session to
session.? The Commission said specific rules spelling out how to
administer exam sessions remotely ?could limit the flexibility of VEs
and VECs.? The FCC stressed the obligation on the part of VECs and VEs
?to administer examinations responsibly? applies ?in full? to
remote testing.

The FCC amended the rules to provide that VEs administering
examinations remotely be required to grade such examinations ?at the
earliest practical opportunity,? rather than ?immediately,? as
the rule for conventional exam sessions requires.

Finally, the FCC has adopted an ARRL proposal to authorize certain Time
Division Multiple Access (TDMA) emissions in the Amateur Service. The
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau in 2013 granted an ARRL request for
a temporary blanket waiver to permit radio amateurs to transmit
emissions with designators FXD, FXE, and F7E, pending resolution of the
rulemaking petition.

?Commenters strongly support amendment of the rules to permit these
additional emission types,? the FCC noted. ?The commenters assert
that the proposed rule change ?is consistent with the basis and
purpose of the Amateur Service,?? and will allow repurposing
surplus mobile relay equipment from other radio services in the Amateur
Service, the Commission added.

The FCC said it also will make ?certain minor, non-substantive
amendments to the Amateur Service rules.? It is amending Part 97
?to reflect that the Commission amended its rules to eliminate the
requirement that certain Amateur Radio Service licensees pass a Morse
code examination,? the FCC said in the R&O. It also said it was
correcting ?certain typographical or other errors? in Part 97.

The new rules become effective 30 days after their publication in The
Federal Register, which is expected to happen this week.

Members,

Today I received a call from the daughter of Mike Deslonde. Mike goes by the
handle of Mikey-D and many of you simply refer to him as the Hamfest Food
Concession Guy. Others may have other references, but that depends on your
gourmet experiences with his cuisine. As far as I can tell Mike has been our
food guy for the last 4 years,

Mike's daughter called to inform me he has taken ill and is cancelling all
his June contracts. I didn't push for details and only expressed my
condolences and wished for a full recovery. She did mention a Kidney related
ailment. That was enough information for me. Of course that leaves us in a
predicament for our upcoming hamfest less than a week away.

If anyone has any suggestions don't hesitate to present them to the group.
We can eliminate Girl Scout Cookie sales and fresh Sushi.

Due to the need for permits to prepare food,  I think we are going to be
limited to prepackaged items. Canned soda on ice, chips and perhaps wrapped
cakes or danishes. How about vending machine  type sandwiches and a
microwave oven. Hopefully items with a long shelf life that won't spoil if
not sold at the fest.

Members,

A number of years back we enlisted the service of a ''mobile caterer''. (A 
mobile hot food service)  There are two types that would most likely be 
available with short notice.
One is pre-packaged goods.   the other is hot foods to cooked to 
order........ie., breakfast eggs/bacon/sausage/etc.  and burgers, etc.

There was a company based in South Plainfield which we had used.  I am 
certain that we can get a ''mobile caterer'' on very short notice for a 
Saturday.  To my memory, the food was good and there was a large selection 
of sandwiches and hot foods available.

Message-ID: <59F6400C1B0049C6BBD6E7EE4CD782A2@marvbronsPC>

Casey Kasem, a disc jockey who never claimed to love rock ?n? roll but who built a long and lucrative career from it, creating and hosting one of radio?s most popular syndicated pop music shows, ?American Top 40,? died on Sunday in a hospital in Gig Harbor, Wash. He was 82

For those of 'us' who grew up along with a legend.......Casey Kasem passed away today.  I'm sure that those who listened to his ''rock & roll'' programs, for years, have a great many 'fond' memories of growing up.

This, of course, is just one more of many things that reminds us of fleeting time!

SiriusXM,  carries AT40 every weekend, channel 6 (60s) and channel 7 
(70s).  It may also be on ch 8 (80s), but I don't know.

I will have a dollar per item box at the club table. I am putting in many
small items that are clearly worth more than a buck. In some cases I am
bundling a few items for a buck. If you can dig up some more small  items to
donate, I think this can be a successful addition to our offerings.
Remember, this is our major fund raising event of the year. Please help

RVRC members,

Each year we remember our late Jack Fisher (W2IWK) as he was our ''patron good weatherman'' for the annual RVRC HAMFEST.

Jack was a really great fellow with an entertaining sense of humor and since he had eyesight disabilities, he was almost always available on the repeater to talk and lighten-up our day.  Since he passed away we have made our annual plea to Jack for continued good weather on our hamfest Saturdays and, so far, his record has been 'sterling'!!! 

Here's to you, Jack Fisher, W2IWK!

Members,

The hamfest weekend is almost at our doorstep and Mother looks to be favoring our event. Gerry, N2GJ, sent out the following message to the ARC's and friends in the hobby that he knows to remind them of our 2013 event. If everyone sent a similar email to other hams inviting them to plan on visiting our event Saturday we could have a great turnout. Please consider doing the same.

For the repeaters we should not change it from PL tone access. That's how it's listed in the repeater books and advertised on our flyers. I have yet to hear a complaint from anyone that knows how to use those reference sources to program their gear. We would be doing the hobby a disservice to change it; tone access is tone access. Our directions are pretty direct on the website and on the flyer. If it's not broken why tempt fate.

Fellas,
I would like to propose that, for the hamfest on Saturday, the technical committee switch off TONE ACCESS (PL) and run CARRIER SQUELCH access on both repeaters for the many who will not be able to set or change their tone code.  We have done this in the past and when we have not, I have heard some complaints but, nonetheless, let's make it easy to call for directions. 
(ie., Chinese handheld users and commercial HT users.)

Drew,
Most people coming to this hamfest do not have these frequencies programmed 
into their radios.  Then,  more often than not, they  do not prepare for 
attending.....it's just a get-up and go routine.  .....with the Baofeng and 
Wouszon radios that many have, many of those  owners do not and can not 
readily program with the keypad they will not be able to access the 
repeater.  This has happened in the past.....we have, in the past 
'opened-up' the repeater for the hamfest since there really isn't a 'need' 
to remain on tone access for the 6 hours of operation.  It doesn't damage 
anything and doesn't cause any extra issues....it won't ''hang-up'' the 
repeaters......the controller is designed to perform this function.
Most of those coming to the hamfest will not have prepared their radios in 
advance......this is a complaint I have heard every year at the gate from 
many who have arrived later than they wanted to arrive because they couldn't 
get directions not being able to access the tone controlled repeaters.
I see no reason why we simply can not place the repeaters in ''carrier 
squelch'' operation for the 6 hours during the hamfest.  If it's intentional 
jamming or keying the repeaters, remaining on tone access (PL) does nothing 
to prevent that, those perpetrators have tone access and they use it.

I know exactly what you're saying Marvin. Every year I solicit feedback such as a lessons earned reviewed and this never comes up. I have done talk-in for close to 20 years and just don't see it that way. Even not seeing the signs is repeated. Today I use tone squelch on the VHF machine basically to reduce the interference from our friends in the Catskills mountains. I can see the activity by the constantly flashing LED to know that it's still present. The motorist most affected are the ones on the outskirts of our repeater coverage and those unfamiliar with the area.

The real problem is individuals not knowing how to program their radios regardless of whether of where it's made. This is a perfect reason for them to be encouraged to participate in a club. If we go into carrier squelch mode I'm not sure if we get non-malicious interference how quickly we can respond. Malicious interference is easy, we just shut it down.

This year we will be monitoring 52 simplex on an elevated antenna. One doesn't have to be deft with their rig to be heard and assisted if we monitor all the frequencies we publicize.

Drew, W2OU

Drew,
Most people coming to this hamfest do not have these frequencies programmed 
into their radios.  Then,  more often than not, they  do not prepare for 
attending.....it's just a get-up and go routine.  .....with the Baofeng and 
Wouszon radios that many have, many of those  owners do not and can not 
readily program with the keypad they will not be able to access the 
repeater.  This has happened in the past.....we have, in the past 
'opened-up' the repeater for the hamfest since there really isn't a 'need' 
to remain on tone access for the 6 hours of operation.  It doesn't damage 
anything and doesn't cause any extra issues....it won't ''hang-up'' the 
repeaters......the controller is designed to perform this function.
Most of those coming to the hamfest will not have prepared their radios in 
advance......this is a complaint I have heard every year at the gate from 
many who have arrived later than they wanted to arrive because they couldn't 
get directions not being able to access the tone controlled repeaters.
I see no reason why we simply can not place the repeaters in ''carrier 
squelch'' operation for the 6 hours during the hamfest.  If it's intentional 
jamming or keying the repeaters, remaining on tone access (PL) does nothing 
to prevent that, those perpetrators have tone access and they use it.

This is to advise that the W2QW 440 Repeater is currently off the air due to a power problem at the repeater site that occurred Wednesday evening around 7 PM.  The problem took us off the air for a few hours until it could be investigated.  The decision was made to restore the 2M system first and that was accomplished at approximately 10 PM.

The 440 repeater should be restored by Friday afternoon at the latest.  I am working on a temporary solution.

Good morning members,

This morning is starting off with some good notes.

I received confirmation that we will have a food truck at the site at 
0600 to1200. Thanks to Marvin, K2VHW for the link to Interstate caterers 
and a little assist from a friend of mine that provides them with a 
source of canned beverages for their mobile units.

Additionally, the repeaters are back on the air thanks to Craig, AC2FE, 
and his team;

The Weatherbug (tm)? shows a nearly perfect say awaits us.
Finally, Kenny, KC2OOP, has improved the PA system and devised a way to 
direct the output of the sound system to provide better coverage to our 
sellers and buyers.

Thanks to all of you for passing the word of our event to your ham 
communities. Make sure you get the proper rest tonight and will see all 
bright and early in the morning.

Don't forget your club shirts as we go into host mode and be sure your 
HT's are programmed to the working frequency of 147.555 Simplex PL 
141.3.

73,
Drew, W2OU

Greetings all,

Today was a beautiful day for the W2QW Hamfest. One could not have asked 
for a better day in so many ways.

A special thanks to all committee chairs and those assigned to their 
respective assignments. Even more kudos to those members that easily 
handled multiple assignment and seemed to be having fun. You know who 
you are and what needed to be done got done. Thanks.

We didn't hear any complaints except that Kathy Sauder of Sauder 
Electronics was missed as we all were looking to pick up that item we 
needed in the shack or for the mobile. As usual Gene of KJI Electronice 
was very supported of our end goal of having a successful hamfest. If 
you get a chance try to visit his new store.

The VE Exam team candidates all went home with an upgrade. The team was 
lead by W2LJ, Larry, and the VE's were W2LJ, AB2ZK, AB2ZK, Carlos, 
KE2TT, and KB2JSG. Marvin K2VHW brought in tables and chairs for the 
testing event and Jim, KC2ZXP provided the canopies and water for the 
candidates..
A special thanks to the setup crews chaired by Scott, W2SJW, W2AEW, Alan 
and Craig, AC2FE for getting everything set up and running. Kenny, 
KC2OOP, Bruce, KC2YSF and W2LJ and Tim AB2ZK seem to be everywhere.

The club table crews lead by John, WA2F and David K2ULF kept everything 
well under control on the tables. They sold my Amp in 5 minutes. How 
good is that?

Of Course the Crew run by Bill, W2UDT to include Pete, KD2ARB, Jackie, 
KC2VVN were the heart of the activities coordinating the many door 
prizes and drawings. They were energized by that delicious crumb cake 
Victor, K2NBC dropped off. Bob KC2RDU and Sharon ran a flawless raffle 
for the vintages radios and speaker that surpassed last years take by a 
considerable amount. Our treasure Anna, KD2DUK is officially our 
sergeant of arms and Fifty Fifty ticket seller. Everyone bought a ticket 
from her.If they didn't Paul, KC2VRJ, was ready with the rescue bus.

Finally, our guest, David Burger from Australia was a delightful guest 
who also donated many books to our club table.The books went fast and 
quite a number of sellers/buyers went home with unexpected and 
information packed gifts to add to ones library.

We want to say this like all the others was another enjoyable hamfest, 
and I know there are many names? not mentioned, only because of creeping 
dementia, lol. So when I get the group photo from Anna, If you're in the 
photo we like to say thank you for making this an enjoyable day. We hope 
everyone like the food truck.

The youtube video by W2AEW was very well done and a reminder of the fun

I'm posting this to the RVRC list because I don't have an email address for
Bruce KC2YSF, and because there may be some additional people interested in
it.

This video describes an automatic audio leveling circuit.  The application
in mind for this circuit is to use it to make each signal received in a
scanner have the same basic audio level (since often times there can be a
large variation between services, channels, etc.).

Here's a link to the video:

Members,

The Courier-news covered the Field Day event hosted by the South 
Plainfield Amateur Radio Club (SPARC) this past weekend.

The event was enjoyed by all.
