Hello Eduardo,

Congratulations! I am no expert in the matter, but considering the condition
of the HF bands I would say F2. To Be Es, it would probably have to be triple
hop and, if that was the case there should have been a bunch of other Es
clouds out there also.

Again, congratulations and also thanks for the many HF CW QSOs.

Hello all from a Sunny Alabama ( 10 degrees F ).

Today will be an inside day for me and I would like to get some information on
mapping the terrain near my QTH.  If anyone has any information to get  
me pointed in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.

The sixclub list has been very quiet, so I hope this isn't off topic  
or anything.

Hello Mike,

Find a friend who flys and ask him for an out of date Alabama Air Sectional
map, the map pilots use. I think they have to be replaced rather often due to
new towers going up. 

It shows terrain heights very well as well as having the ground level marked
along with high towers and their base height and top of tower height.
Otherwise go to your local airport. New ones are kind of expensive, in the $5
- $10 range. Excellent detail and due to the large scale it is easy to
calculate the distance from one point to another.

73,

Sam Neal  N5AF

Hello Eduardo,

Congratulations! I am no expert in the matter, but considering the condition
of the HF bands I would say F2. To Be Es, it would probably have to be 
triple
hop and, if that was the case there should have been a bunch of other Es
clouds out there also.

Again, congratulations and also thanks for the many HF CW QSOs.

Subject: [SixClub] New DXCC Rules Adopted By HQ ARRL
Message-ID: <003801d03707$dfbc6930$9f353b90$@com>





>From arrl.org/new remote operation rules as they pertain to dxcc:







Subsection 11 acknowledges that technological advances ?add to the difficulty in defining rules for DXCC,? but stresses that the intent of the rules is what?s important. ?It will continue to be up to the operator to decide what types of legal remote control operating he/she will use (if any) to contribute to an operating award,? the new rule concludes.





The WWHRAC(World Wide Ham Radio Awards Committee) had an emergency/urgent meeting earlier today(Jan 21, 2015) in reference to the changes the arrl has just made to their dxcc program in reference to remote operations and the dxcc program.







Whereas the arrl has established a high level of trust in the "intent" of the rules and whereas the arrl is counting on the individual operator to decide on what "types of legal remote control operating he/she will use", it therefore seems to be perfectly logical for the WWHRAC to expand their rules even further considering especially the trust placed in/on the individual operator.







Therefore whe WWHRAC has decided to offer all DX awards to any ham in the world based on the individual's intent.    The rules as set forth by the WWHRAC have been reduced to a minimum.    Following is a synopsis of the new rules to be announced soon:







Rule 1:



No ham regardless of license class will be denied any DX award including multi-band, multi-mode or any combination thereof if the ham making application will sign a letter implying their intent to work the necessary stations in order to qualify for the award sought.







WWHRAC will no longer need any proof of any contact on any band or mode which will reduce processing time and save the WWHRAC money.   Any proof of contact submitted with award applications will be be destroyed and under no circumstances be returned to the applicant.   Also, we will not verify any claimed contact via LOTW, QRZ or any other data base.







WWHRAC is doing all it can to help hams all over the world in their pursuit of awards.   The WWHRAC feels the following fee schedule is fair and equitable considering that once the awards have been issued the fee for endorsements is minimal.







Here is the fee schedule being considered by the WWHRAC:







Initial DXCC:   $300



Multi-band DXCC:   2 bands--$400,  3 bands--$600 and for each band above 3 add $400 per band up 1296MHZ.



Modes and bands all count as separate awards.



Special endorsements such as QRP add $2000.







More fees are in the works and the WWHRAC hopes the DX community considers these fees to be fair and equitable.   One reason for the fees is for the creation and maintenance of all the remote stations all over the world.    The remote station fees are not finalized but the remote stations are available to any ham even if they have not acquired a license yet.   In such cases a person(would be ham) would be required to sign a separate letter of "intent" to acquire a ham license.







Further the WWHRAC has eliminated all license checks and feels that all hams with or without a license can be trusted due to their glowing "intent" and desire to work DX.







More to follow in the coming days as the Committee has a few kinks to work out regarding the fees.    The good news is any ham, implied or literal, can as of this writing apply for and acquire any DX award they wish to own and freely display proudly on their radio room or bathroom.







Good "Intentionally" DX to all.........................

Message-ID: <54C29298.6040606@highnoonfilm.com>


Time to clean out the attic. I'm selling some VHF/UHF/Microwave items 
that are surplus to my needs. All prices include UPS Ground shipping to 
anywhere in the lower 48. If you'd like the shipment insured, then buyer 
pays that at cost. Sorry, but no international shipping. I prefer PayPal 
for payment, but can accept USPS Money Orders also. All items from a 
non-smoking shack. Most of these have been in clear plastic tub storage 
for the past 2-3 years.

Please ask questions before buying. None of these are "pristine"---so if 
you're looking for showpieces, this isn't for you. But all are in good 
or better shape cosmetically. All items will be carefully packaged and 
shipped. Any items that don't sell here directly will go on Ebay. My 
Ebay ID is "Paladin1". I've been on Ebay since 1996, and have a 100% 
positive feedback rating of over 900 transactions.

My hope is that these will go to active VHF operators and we'll have 
some more signals on the band to work. E-mail direct to avoid more 
bandwidth on the lists. Thanks for looking.

FOR SALE==================FOR SALE===============FOR 
SALE===============================


Yaesu FT-736R Transceiver with 6 Meters, 2 Meters, 432, and 1296. 
Includes manual and microphone. Good condition, with some shelf wear. 
Purchased in an estate sale from original owner's wife. Very little use, 
he was a doctor and didn't have much time to get on the air. I used it 
briefly during September contest last year, then packed it away as my 
"backup" rig to my Icom IC-910H.
$1,050

Icom IC-471A  Transceiver (432). Good condition. Solid performer. Really 
hot receiver. $300

DEMI 10368-144 Transverter. S/N 179. Single IF. 10 Watt maximum input 
with 1.9 Watt output. Purchased new, and never used. Comes with original 
paperwork. Why wait for DEMI to build one for you? Get on 10 GHz now.
$750

DEMI 903-144 Transverter. Common IF. 5 Watt maximum input with 10 Watt 
output. Transverter was just aligned and tested by DEMI on 3/6/2014. 
Like new. $375.

Kenwood TS-60S 6 Meter, All Mode Transceiver. Good condition. Includes 
microphone and mounting bracket. Legendary receiver make this a high 
performance rig for the Magic Band. $500

Yaesu G-800DXA Rotor. New condition, unused in original packaging. Great 
medium duty, 450 degree rotor with preset. Very fast rotor. $400.

Mirage D3010N 430 Amplifier. 30 watts input with 100 watt output. All 
mode amp. Powerpole connector. Untested but working fine when I put it 
in storage. (replaced with larger TE amp) $175.00

Mirage D-26 430 Amplifier. 4 watts input with 60 watt output. All mode 
amp. Powerpole connector. Untested but working fine when last used in 
rover operation. $150.00

Advanced Receiver Research TR10GA 10 GHz wideband FM transceivers (pair 
of two). Complete, tested, working and like new. Add a new band at a low 
price. Includes custom made high-quality headsets that cost over $200, 
connnectors and gel cell batteries. Everything you need for portable 
operation. Go out roving with a friend and make great contacts on a new 
band. $400 for the pair and accessories.

Advanced Receiver Research TR24GA 24 GHz wideband FM transceiver. Also 
included with this are several 24 GHz waveguides. My plan was to convert 
one of the gunplexers and get on 24 GHz...but who am I kidding?
No time for projects like this on the horizon. Add 24 GHz to your shack. 
Like the TR10GA above, these are wideband FM (old school) but hey it 
counts for both VUCC and contest points. Add a new band at a low price.
$150.

Les,
I might be interested in the FT 736R. I am active on VHF and currently 
constructing an EME station. I have a spare G5500 rotator and could use 
the radio on 23cm or 1296. How old is the radio?

Its not a joke. I am sorry to say. The dx com. Says that you can remote
operate your call sign from anywhere.you can literally remote to the east
coast or where ever you need to go to work the Country of your choice.
Plus ! I can remote into v44 land & get DXCC without ever leaving
Mississippi. I am very disappointed.

I'm no paper-chaser so I ignore most of that stuff but
if this is true then the certificates should come with
an asterisk or some other label that defines them as
not to be compared to the old.

It was stupid when the ARRL & FCC obliterated the meaning
of callsign areas - now this renders DXCC a bad joke.

Hams used to ...

Operate from their home QTH.

Operate from a Club QTH.

Operate portable.

Operate mobile.

But operate on-site with the radio and antenna.

Now ... you can operate from a make believe QTH!

Virtual reality DX-chasing ... sigh.

Subject: [SixClub] [VHF] VHF Items For Sale (Update)
Message-ID: <54C40803.2090207@highnoonfilm.com>


Several items have sold. Please see list below.

FOR SALE==================FOR SALE===============FOR 
SALE===============================


Yaesu FT-736R Transceiver with 6 Meters, 2 Meters, 432, and 1296. 
Includes manual and microphone. Good condition, with some shelf wear. 
Purchased in an estate sale from original owner's wife. Very little use, 
he was a doctor and didn't have much time to get on the air. I used it 
briefly during September contest last year, then packed it away as my 
"backup" rig to my Icom IC-910H.
$1,050

HIGH POWER AMP FOR 1296 1296! Built by Merle Cox, W7YOZ in November of 
2012. This 11 1/4" X 17 1/4" rack mount amplifier includes a DEMI 
2370PA, 2 DOW-KEY 12VDC input and output coaxial relays, a NARDA 
microwave 20 db directional coupler and detector (this samples power to 
display on the output power meter, which is located on the front face of 
the rack mount). It also includes T/R time delay (which can be varied), 
and rear panel TR control.

Hookup is nearly as simple as adding a "brick" amplifier on the lower 
bands. I ran a short piece of flex from my IC-910H into a Bird wattmeter 
to measure input power, connected the phono plug T/R to a short cable 
running to the DIN plug on the back of the Icom, and connected the antenna.

Maximum power is achieved with about 6.5 watts on input power, with 
measured output power at 64 watts! That's a lot of power on 1296. 
Perfect for DXing, contests, or even EME.

The build quality is very professional. Enamel gray, with toggle 
switches, super neat wiring, labeled connections, etc. 12 VDC is via 
PowerPole cables, rig input and antenna output connections are all Type 
N. It even includes an instruction sheet provided by Merle to make 
set-up easy for an "appliance operator" like myself. $750


Icom IC-471A  Transceiver (432). Good condition. Solid performer. Really 
hot receiver. $300

DEMI 10368-144 Transverter. S/N 179. Single IF. 10 Watt maximum input 
with 1.9 Watt output. SOLD SOLD SOLD

DEMI 903-144 Transverter. Common IF. 5 Watt maximum input with 10 Watt 
output. Transverter was just aligned and tested by DEMI on 3/6/2014. 
Like new. $375. SOLD SOLD SOLD

Kenwood TS-60S 6 Meter, All Mode Transceiver. Good condition. Includes 
microphone and mounting bracket. Legendary receiver make this a high 
performance rig for the Magic Band. $500

Yaesu G-800DXA Rotor. New condition, unused in original packaging. Great 
medium duty, 450 degree rotor with preset. Very fast rotor. $400.

Mirage D3010N 430 Amplifier. 30 watts input with 100 watt output. All 
mode amp. Powerpole connector. Untested but working fine when I put it 
in storage. (replaced with larger TE amp) $175.00

Mirage D-26 430 Amplifier. 4 watts input with 60 watt output. All mode 
amp. Powerpole connector. Untested but working fine when last used in 
rover operation. $150.00

Advanced Receiver Research TR10GA 10 GHz wideband FM transceivers (pair 
of two). Complete, tested, working and like new. Add a new band at a low 
price. Includes custom made high-quality headsets that cost over $200, 
connnectors and gel cell batteries. Everything you need for portable 
operation. Go out roving with a friend and make great contacts on a new 
band. $400 for the pair and accessories. SOLD SOLD SOLD

Advanced Receiver Research TR24GA 24 GHz wideband FM transceiver. Also 
included with this are several 24 GHz waveguides. My plan was to convert 
one of the gunplexers and get on 24 GHz...but who am I kidding?
No time for projects like this on the horizon. Add 24 GHz to your shack. 
Like the TR10GA above, these are wideband FM (old school) but hey it 
counts for both VUCC and contest points. Add a new band at a low price. 
$150. SOLD SOLD SOLD
