The 1st SJRA 2 meter FM net of October is tomorrow Monday the 3rd at 8:00 PM on the K2AA repeater 145.29 MHz PL 91.5 Hz.  Alan K3WWT will be your host and control operator.  All licensed hams are welcome to join in for some interesting ham radio or other conversation of your choice and it will be free of the political insults, name calling and trash that many of you experienced last week on another frequency.  Sorry I can't join in as I am on my annual visit to my two brothers and two sisters and their families in the Erie area of PA.

Subject: [SJRA-Members] October Presentation on EZNEC
Message-ID: <CADQmrTEFT6VR-m=5rzmu0_fVRcyC0OL_cOnqfBmZPp0g5LYVCw@mail.gmail.com>

Mario, N2AK, is presenting an introductory tutorial on using EZNEC software
to design on computer just about any antenna you can imagine on any band.
He will get you started in understanding how this amazing design program
works, and then you're on your own.

I strongly suggest that if you are interested in learning how to use EZNEC
you should download the free demo and play with it some before the meeting.
I also urge you to bring your laptops to the meeting with EZNEC installed
so that you can follow along. I've found that this approach to learning a
new software application is most effective.

https://www.eznec.com/

If you own a copy of the ARRL Antenna Handbook it is likely that you have a
version of EZNEC included on the CD that accompanies this book.

See you at the the October meeting if not before or on the air.

Message-ID: <270443C3-53AA-4F74-800A-09D33ED1F7A3@verizon.net>

The 1st 2 meter Fusion net on the K2AA repeater scheduled for tomorrow the 13th of October is delayed until Thursday the 27th.  The reason for the delay is that my wife informed me at breakfast this morning that she has a family party planned at a restaurant the other side of Cherry Hill at 7:00 PM tomorrow night and it is a must attend.  For those of you who don't understand must attend family events, you haven't been married to the same women for almost 56 years.  Sorry fellows, ham radio is just a hobby.  More details on the Fusion net will be e-mailed before the 27th.

All,

We will be putting K2AA on the air for the November Sweep Stakes again.

 

Last Year we finished 1st place in both CW and SSB Low Power Multi-Operator
Category. We even got a Clean Sweep with the SSB operation.

 

This is a great opportunity to work in a low key contest environment.
Elmer's will be available as required.

 

At the moment the schedule is wide open so please sign up. Let me know when
you would like to operate.

Subject: [SJRA-Members] Prep for 2M Fusion Net
Message-ID: <35E960C4FE22427D8F2767D46ED60450@JRFMINI10>

PREPARATION FOR 1st 2M FUSION NET

The 1st 2 meter Fusion net on K2AA will be held at 8:00 PM (00:00 UTC) on Thursday the 27th of October.  The format of the net will be similar to the 2 meter FM net on Monday, a free form discussion with topics selected by participants, with a couple of changes.  First every station participating must be in digital mode DN.  A call in on FM will not be heard or answered.  Second the order of call ins will be based on distance to the net control station (WY2J using K2AA).  This requires that every station turn on the GPS function in their rig to transmit position data.  Each station must also have navigation set up at least to the extent that they can read distance in miles from the transmitting station.  Net control will sector this data and ask for calls from say all stations within 5 to 7 miles of net control.  This will help prevent pile ups on initial call in.

Third I would like to use the digital call sign transmission capability in ND mode to eliminate broken call signs and use of phonetics.  This requires that you enter your call sign or call sign and name if less than 30 characters when you first initalized your rig.  If  you didn't you can change it.  If you can't fit the call sign, space and name into 30 characters then enter the call sign only.

I expect at least 10 stations to participate in the 1st net this Thursday based on the response received to my survey conducted at the September club meeting.  In addition the Wires X node should be active and we just might get a call this way even though I took no action to advertise what we are doing.  I do expect some setup problems to occur and we have some possible Elmers in that list of 10 who can give some over the air help where needed. As net control I will place problem solving at a higher priority even if it cuts into the ragchew time.  I want every participant to have a successful experience on these first few nets or they won't come back.

REQUESTED RIG SETUP FOR THE FUSION NETS.

1.  Set rig to ND mode, not AMS mode.

2.  Verify that your call sign, or call sign and name if it fits, is entered in the initialization step of your rig.

3.  Turn on the GPS function and verify that you are locked on to the GPS satellites.  The satellite icon should appear on the screen.

4.  Set up the real time navigation function if your rig contains it.  If not set up the GPS position screen which will give you distance information but no direction data.  Make sure that you setup for YR, the other station.  You may have to change the units from KM to MILES and the compass up position to North.  I prefer the real time navigation function but I have not found a use for it on these nets.  Maybe next month when we get a couple of moble stations on the net I will find a use for direction data.

See you Wednesday night at the club and on the net Thursday night.

CORRECTION:

The 30 character limit cited in the second paragraph below for call sign and 
name is in error.  For the FT2DR and FTM400XDR radios the limit is 10.  My

SJRA-members at mailman.qth.net. ted.w2tag at gmail.com. and wy2j at arrl.net.  This was one mailing and included the Fusion Log attachment.

I have no idea why the SJRA reflector dropped the attachment, it wasn't large.

If you want a copy of the attachment file which is the 1st Fusion Net Log in Word, send an e-mail to wy2j at arrl.net requesting it and including your name, call sign and a valid e-mail address.  I will get it out to you in a few days.  If anyone knows why the reflector dropped my original message attachment, please let me know.  Thanks.
