Subject: [TMRA] General Meetings Room open at 6:15pm
Message-ID: <CADXDW4TB+dXzdjHQgh4FMJdBYYJDy1-jfN9y4A0JLK7H8KGOCw@mail.gmail.com>

Starting at the July meeting (this month), TMRA will *begin opening the
general meeting facility at least an hour before the general club meetings*
(barring special circumstances, of which we will post to facebook and tmra
email when/if they occur). *Typically we expect doors open by 6:15pm to
support additional activities (see below).*

This additional time is expected to support a variety of items such as
special projects, some "show-and-tell" for interesting technologies,
questions that members may have for our experienced elmers, additional
kit/antenna build or setup time, extra social time, or any other needs that
may require some additional "non-meeting" time. As such, if you have a need
or would like to share something interesting using that time, please let me
know and we'll double-check the schedule and attempt to announce it (social
media, during on-air nets, web-page, and email lists).

Please keep in mind that the room will always support "social time" during
the pre-meeting hour(+), and therefore we don't expect to have "organized"
presentations with the pre-meeting time. (some items may be a better/best
fit for a general meeting session)

The general meeting this month (July 12th) will include a Clock Kit build,
organized by Chrissy (KC8UFV). Please feel free to come early and use that
time to get set up if you plan to build a kit.

We'll see you on July 12th at the general meeting.

73,
Rob - KV8P

Tim,

Very Cool!   I'm a newer member (2008), but I'll ask some of the Elmer's at
the next meeting and post to the email list to see if anybody has more
information on this.  I'll keep you posted.

Subject: [TMRA] New WSJT-X Digital Mode - FT8
Message-ID: <CADXDW4SOiQwTdQL+hYzGBJaUCT1xJa-YKmwAySA7rqq1wBV8Og@mail.gmail.com>

For those interested, Joe Taylor (K1JT) and gang have been at it again and
have created a new digital mode (FT8).  You will need version 1.8.0 of the
software which can currently only be found on sourceforge for download
(somewhat beta version yet as it does have a few bugs yet).  The official
release on their website is supposed to have a few of the remaining bugs
worked out.  However, if you are like me, and don't want to wait, you can
find it on sourceforge.com .

A few notes on my experience with FT8, while trying it over my lunch hour
today.

1. There is no time between transmissions because they are so fast (15
seconds). You just get a response in when you can and it will start right
away if you are quick on it It appears to work well.  My transmitter unkeys
before the tones are done, but it doesn't appear to impact anything.
 (anyone else getting that phenomenon as well?)

2. At least in Windows 10, my signal strength bar is way off now. It is
much higher for the same signals than it used to be and shows "red" a lot.
Hopefully they fix that.   (Anyone else experience that?)

3. This software has mixed up a few of the frequencies where some of the
modes are now found. FT8 is found on 14.074 where it controlled my radio to
(different from what JT first mentioned), which is also where folks are
using it on 20. However, on 6 meters, it moved JT65 to using 50.310?
Really? Nobody is using it there.   I'm wondering if there will be
corrections/changes.:)

4. Contacts came through, and decodes worked quite well. I was able to make
a few and there is already some DX working there.

5. QRZ.com
<https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2FQRZ.com%2F&h=ATPgaRfwFCY27_uhK2fyshaRle0QgshZlvU7QuGF0E1gziSto1OLLVtA1AA_sOygE27FUFBKzhye8VfihtY0ooQrHkBy0ctRaehTuvBsAlXyvVeYKXOiOWPZGwbVZX43Km-Y_EvKxA>
 does not yet include an FT8 mode to log with, so I have no idea what to
log these contacts as. I notified the folks at QRZ.com to ask if they plan
to add it. I'd imagine other software packages are in a similar boat. All
in all, it worked good though!

Rob....

I got a chance to play with FT8 today at about 2:30pm. FT8 feels like a 
cross between HF Digital and a video game. It is definitely quick. I 
made nine contacts in a very short period of time ranging from 
Washington State, Florida, New York and even one in Ireland. Answering 
or sending a CQ is a bit of a chore. By the time you respond it is 
already 1/3 of the way through the next transmission.... after that the 
video game portion kicks in. Position your mouse over db or R-db, wait 
for the red colored response and click.... then do the same for the RRR 
or 73. Just make certain you receive a RRR before you click the 73. If 
not just wait and the program will send their signal report a second 
time and proceed from there. Surprisingly there appear to be a great 
many Hams with the required eye/hand coordination as most of the QSO's 
went back and forth on the first try.

I am using WSJT-X 1.80 rc1, JTAlert (need version 2.9.10) and Log4OM. 
JTAlert logs to Log4OM correctly indicating a FT8 contact. Log4OM then 
attempts to log to a number of online sources. QRZ is showing all of the 
contacts as FT8 and so far I have received 3 confirmations. eQSL does 
not yet handle the new mode. HRDLog is logging correctly. Club log is 
simply showing it as another digital mode (the same way they log all of 
the other digital modes). When I attempted to upload my QRZ log to LOTW 
it would not upload any of the FT8 entries.

I am not certain the frequencies have been finalized yet. There were 
some complaints that on 20m they should have gone above the JT9 
frequency where it is less crowded rather than below JT65 when Hams 
using Oliver, etc like to hang out.

All in all, where I have been known to doze off waiting for a JT65 
exchange, there is no chance of that happening on FT8.

My goal is to achieve WAS with FT8 in one hour.... what are the chances 
of that?  ;)

STRONG SOLAR FLARE AND CME: After days of suspenseful quiet, huge sunspot
AR2665 finally erupted on July 14th (0209 UT), producing a powerful
M2-class solar flare. The explosion was underway for more than two hours
and hurled a bright coronal mass ejection (CME) toward Earth. Geomagnetic
storms and high-latitude auroras are likely when the CME arrives this
weekend. Visit Spaceweather.com

I'm curious about something.  I grew up in Toledo, so I am always interested in Ohio doings.

I hear there's massive flooding in the Findlay area.   Are the hams helping in any waty?

For those who are interested, the ISS will be transmitting a signal from
space to earth using SSTV. (See Below)

We plan on discussing this SSTV software on Tuesday night at 7:30 pm on the

ARISS to Celebrate 20th Anniversary with SSTV Event

The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS
<http://www.ariss.org/>) program is planning a slow-scan television (SSTV
<http://ariss-sstv.blogspot.com/>) event starting on Thursday, July 20, and
continuing for 2 days, to commemorate its 20th anniversary. Transmissions,
set to get under way around 2125 UTC, will feature 12 images from past and
present ARISS activities. The SSTV signal should be available nearly
anywhere on the globe at some point during the event.

"Starting with our first meeting in November 1996, our joint operations on
*Mir*, becoming the first operational payload on ISS in November 2000, to
our [more than 1,100] school contact (so far), ARISS's accomplishments have
been tremendous," ARISS International Chair Frank Bauer, KA3HDO, said, in
first announcing the SSTV event last. "We have touched the lives of many
and inspired and educated countless students to pursue science, technology,
engineering, and math careers."

The event plans to use a computer on the ISS Russian Segment, which stores
images that are then transmitted to Earth using the onboard Kenwood TM-D710
transceiver, the ARISS announcement explained. Those receiving the images
can post them <https://ariss-sstv.blogspot.com/> for public viewing.

SSTV signals will be transmitted on 145.80 MHz using FM. The SSTV mode is
expected to be PD120, with PD180 as a possible second option. Free SSTV
decoder software is available on the Internet.

ARISS asked educators to consider ways in which they might use this
opportunity to inspire their students by having them take advantage of this
chance to capture images directly from space to their computers.
All ARISS events are subject to change at any time. News and updates are on

   10am-6pm) - Maumee Bay State Park (1400 State Park Rd. Oregon, OH  43616)

More information follows on each:

*HamSCI Total Eclipse Party details:*
TMRA is planning an operation event to support the Solar Eclipse QSO Party
operation, sponsored by the ARRL and HAMSCI (Ham Radio Science Citizen
Investigation), set to begin at 1400z on Aug 21st.  TMRA has secured the
Wolcott House for this event.

On Monday, August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse will cause the shadow of
the moon to traverse the U.S. from Oregon to South Carolina in just over 90
minutes causing dramatic changes in both the ionosphere and HF propagation.
The Solar Eclipse QSO Party (SEQP) is a HamSCI-ARRL sponsored operating
event to generate data to study ionospheric changes during the eclipse.

CW, PSK, RTTY, Phone, & WSPR on 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, 10, and 6 meter bands.
Signal Report and Grid Square are the exchange.

Some members/non-members may bring telescopes out for this event (w/ sun
filters), and you are welcome to bring yours as well.

Steve W8TER is the organizer for the event. Please contact Steve W8TER at
W8TER at arrl.net with any questions of if you can contibute for this research
operation event.

More information re: our local Maumee operation is pending.  However,
please add this to your calendar if your schedule will allow!



*Ohio QSO Party:*
TMRA Plans to setup a couple stations for the Ohio QSO Party (Sponsored by
the Mad River Radio Club) from the Wolcott House in Maumee on River Road
(secured for this event). Other details are pending as we firm up the plans
for this operation.

CW and SSB on 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 meters. Stations may be worked once
per mode on each band. For our Ohio operation, multipliers are the 49
American States (excluding Ohio, also District of Columbia is combinded
with Maryland), 11 Canadian Provinces (NL, PEI, NS, NB,VE2-7, YT/NWT/NU),
88 Ohio Counties and 1 DX. Total of 149 multipliers for Ohio Stations.
Members? scores from Ohio stations will be credited towards their Ohio
club, so any contacts at home can be applied to TMRA as well.

and
Contact Steve Bellner (W8TER) at W8TER at ARRL.NET for further
planning/information for this event as the date draws closer. We will post
more information about this event as more information becomes available.

Please reserve the date!



*Ohio State Parks on the Air:*
TMRA is sponsoring, and has secured the Maumee Bay State Park for operation
as W8H during the 10th Annual Ohio State Parks On The Air (OSPOTA) Contest
Operation on September 9th. Operations setup will begin at 8am and the
contest starts at 10am. The contest will run on SSB on 80, 40, 20, 15 and
10m only.

This will be a unique event for TMRA in that it will be our first attempt
at setting up and using all free standing antennas (no trees used), to help
test our strengths in operating under no tree support conditions. Also,
setup and operations efforts are expected to be organized by some of our
newest operators, with support from our long time elmers (as needed). This
should provide some great learning opportunities for everyone involved.

This event organizer for TMRA is Toby Hiteshew (KE8CZO) who is available
for sign-up and info at KE8CZO at gmail.com. Toby will be providing more
details over the coming month and will be presenting more specifics on the
plans during the August 2017 TMRA meeting. Stay tuned for further info, but
please save the date. Toby is currently seeking sign-ups for setup crews

Three of the options are only *separated by one single vote *so far (and 17
people have voted).  Therefore, if you'd like to get your votes in, now is
your chance!   I honestly didn't expect surveys to give us results this
close.  :)

I'm close to having enough people for Saturday but still very short for 
Sunday. The Sylvania SuperKids is Saturday, August 5th and race time is 
7:30 AM. We are usually done with this event by 11 AM. The Sylvania 
Triathlon is the following day Sunday, August 6th and also starts at 
7:30 AM. The course closes at 1 PM but some of us might be needed until 
1:30. Both events start and finish at Olander Park in Sylvania. If you'd 
like to volunteer or need more information please contact me at 
k8rks at arrl.net or 419-471-0573.
