I am a new member, and attended the meeting in June. I will take the Technician license in August, and am looking for my first handheld radio.

Am wondering if there are any members who operate a Kenwood TH-D74A? This is a high end radio with lots of capability, and should last for years. The programming software is Windows only, and I only have Apple computers.

Am seeking a member with the same radio for help in getting it programmed.

I have not made a purchase, so any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Buck

Our own John Ellis, NP2B (with photos by wife, Jeanette NP2C) has another article in August's QST. I won't spoil the surprise, John has done a lot of research in this fine piece of prose. I enjoyed reading it, believe you will, also. Especially if you're at all nostalgic. 

Vy 73 to all TVARC,

John,
It is fun to review old memories. I remember when SSB started and the sideband 1A and 2B first came out and they needed to be adjusted to be sure the carrier and other sideband was nulled. Were they Central Electronics? Now it is all done digitally! I look forward to possible future "old time" reviews.

John

I wasn't intending to spend any time on this contest, but I did want to test
out my new 20-6M G5RV that I got from KM4CRY (now KB4BC).  Thanks, Bruce!  I
used it on 10, 15, and 20, and it seemed to work well.  I don't have my
remote relay switch set up yet (need to buy about 75' of 4-conductor cable),
and so had to go outside and swap coax to get on 40 with my old 40M vee.  So
once 40M opened up I made the switch and finished with that.

40M was the money band for me in this one.  Don't have to compete with many
yagis there, and the EU opening was pretty nice, especially starting around
2200Z.  Interesting Qs were: Saudi Arabia, Western Australia, and even a
pirate "HQ" station in the pro-Russian occupied Donbass region of eastern
Ukraine.  You never know what you're gonna get!

I'll have to put this one on the list of worthwhile contests from TV, since
there are lots of stations workable, and CQing even works.  But I wouldn't
attempt a serious effort on SSB.  CW is the only way to go.

Hi Members of TVARC's MailList (hosted by QSL.net),

If you participated in the recent "13 Colonies" special event over the July
4th long weekend, where are your  "brags?"

Let's hear from those that got  a "clean sweep" and those that didn't.

Hi Members of TVARC's MailList (hosted by QSL.net),

The "13 Colonies" Special Event occurred on the ham bands from July 1
through July 6, 2017.  This year's event ran as follows:
  ET: July 1 (9AM EST) to July 6th (Midnight EST)
  Z:  (July 1, 2017-1300 UTC to July 7, 2017-0400 UTC).

I again thoroughly enjoyed this event as a fun filled way to celebrate
America's birthday using our ham radios.  The organizers of this event and
the various station operators in the 13 states making up the original 13
Colonies deserve our kudos.  Also, the two bonus stations (one in
Philadelphia & the other in Great Britain/England) deserve our thanks.

N8SK's Brag for the 2017 "13 Colonies" Special Event:

  # Colony stations worked: 13 of 13 [a clean sweep!]?
  # Bonus stations worked:    2 of   2 [Philadelphia & England]?
  Total Worked                     15 of 15

I worked 12 of those 15 stations on 20 meters.  The remaining 3 I snagged
on 40 meters.
My toughest colony station to get was Connecticut (K2D).  And it nearly
came down to the wire before I finally got the bonus station (GB13COL) in
England.

Working those 15 stations was spread across five (5) days: July 1, 3, 4, 5,
 & 6.  I don't recall how long (on-the-air duration) it took me to work
these stations.

For more information about this special event, see the 13 Colonies website
at: http://www.13colonies.net/.

73,

Tony/N8SK

Also, the two bonus stations (one in Philadelphia & the other in Great Britain/England) deserve our thanks.


N8SK's Brag for the 2017 "13 Colonies" Special Event:

  # Colony stations worked: 13 of 13 [a clean sweep!]?

  # Bonus stations worked:    2 of   2 [Philadelphia & England]?
  Total Worked                     15 of 15

I worked 12 of those 15 stations on 20 meters.  The remaining 3 I snagged on 40 meters.
My toughest colony station to get was Connecticut (K2D).  And it nearly came down to the wire before I finally got the bonus station (GB13COL) in England.

Working those 15 stations was spread across five (5) days: July 1, 3, 4, 5,  & 6.  I don't recall how long (on-the-air duration) it took me to work these stations.

Nice going, Tony.  I managed to get them all except GB13COL.  When they
stay on SSB, it's very hard for me to dig them out, hi.

Congrats, Tony !!! My goal this year was to work them all on 40 cw. Like Ed, I never heard the English bonus station on cw, any band. I managed all the others except New Jersey (K2I), which I finally contacted on 80 cw with less than 1 hour left in the event !! 

Also managed to work a few new dxcc entities while "window shopping" for 13 colonies. So I now have over 100 countries on cw from The Villages.

The organizers of this event and the various station operators in the 13 states making up the original 13 Colonies deserve our kudos.  Also, the two bonus stations (one in Philadelphia & the other in Great Britain/England) deserve our thanks.


N8SK's Brag for the 2017 "13 Colonies" Special Event:

  # Colony stations worked: 13 of 13 [a clean sweep!]?

  # Bonus stations worked:    2 of   2 [Philadelphia & England]?
  Total Worked                     15 of 15

I worked 12 of those 15 stations on 20 meters.  The remaining 3 I snagged on 40 meters.
My toughest colony station to get was Connecticut (K2D).  And it nearly came down to the wire before I finally got the bonus station (GB13COL) in England.

Working those 15 stations was spread across five (5) days: July 1, 3, 4, 5,  & 6.  I don't recall how long (on-the-air duration) it took me to work these stations.

Congratulations, Tony. Nice job.

I worked 30 of the stations, including the WM3PEN bonus station in Philadelphia. I never did hear GB13COL in England. My goal was a clean sweep on CW on both 40 and 20 meters.  I missed connecting with a NJ Station for my clean sweep and had to resort to working Rhode Island on SSB. It?s a great event and my third year participating.

I also worked the IARU this weekend and the SKCC Weekend Sprint. I managed 60 IARU CW contacts on 40 and 20 meters, including two new countries for me from TV; Lithuania and Austria. 

SKCC was tough because of all the IARU stations on the air, but, I managed 15 contacts and picked up four new contacts toward my Tribune x 8 (400 unique members). Almost there. I wound up in the middle of the pack of reporting stations. 

I utilized all three keys this weekend, my Begali Spark, my N3ZN paddle and my Kent SP-1 sideswiper key.

Have a great week?.. Bob, K3ZGA

Original 13 Colonies July 1 1300Z - July 6 0400Z, 2017

My results:

A clean sweep All CW QRO by the 4th. On the 4th while still looking for the
Brit, at K3ZGAs suggestion I decided to try it CW QRP. I worked Twelve and
Philadelphia with no problem but missed the B on the last round. Nowhere to
be found. 

I worked the Philadelphia station several times on several bands, both QRO
and QRP, but I am not sure the Brit could do peep (CW). I saw him on digital
numerous  times but that's not peep.

So I guess you could say that I was done in by my own arrogance. J

Seems like many had a good time with 13 colonies and the IARU contest. Due to other issues, I only worked 13 colonies for a few hours at the end. Still got 9/13 colonies!! 
IARU was pretty good with about 60 contacts in just a few hours!! (The slow kind - work the pile ups!!)
Looking for info on Mac software for logging, rig control etc. Have a new IC-7300 and using RUMlogNG. It is not too bad but still lacking. Been experimenting with MacLoggerDX. $100 for license!
Anybody have recommendations based on usage???

I got a clean sweep here to. 12 of the 13 on cw, but K2L was tough for me
so only got him on SSB. Got WM3PEN on CW as well. The Brit was missing for
me all around. I saw him spotted on several modes but couldn't copy him on
anything.
Such fun

hi folks,

got all 13 on 20 SSB.
Saw the bonus stations
spotted but i couldn't
pull them out.

The cluster makes working
DX not so much like shooting
fish in a barrel, but more like
shooting beef when it is already
in the freezer.

just my 2?.

J

Nice trip down memory lane!  Having grown up in the Youngstown area, I
remember a number of D104 mics available at the local hamfests in my
General days.  I had one of the them on the shack shelf for many years. 
The XYL could not understand why it was a classic when I'm using a Heil
headset with a boom mic.  "Why don't you just take it to the dump?"

Rich is right.  The excessively high sound came from the sound system not the audience.  The audience can't think, talk, or even move during the "concert" (better words would be wall of sound).  What compels the musicians to have such high levels of sound is beyond me.  You can't hear individual instruments, there is no musicality, no emotion (except that I want to get out of there - and have many times), just NOISE!

I attended a Joe Bonamassa concert in Jacksonville a few months ago. I take a sound level meter with me these days.  We left after 10 minutes.  The sound level was 103 dBa!  Way, way above a normal loud level of 85 dBa (what you might do at home with the hi-fi turned way up.

Why?

I had over 100dB in noise level. 
Oh wait; I was at the Paul McCartney concert in Tampa last night.

I'm with you Ed. I don't go to live concerts any more because of the high levels of sound.

What compels the musicians to have such high levels of sound is beyond me.  You can't hear individual instruments, there is no musicality, no emotion (except that I want to get out of there - and have many times), just NOISE!

As someone who has worn hearing aids for nearly 50 years, a word of
advice to the young for a lifelong career: specialize in hearing aid
design or sales.  The multi-page, color ads in the Daily Sun attest to
this.  (Today's kids will have an incentive to do so as earbuds pound the
ear with >100 dBa of sound.)

Message-ID: <CADsyD=uJE9ainyJbUyQCCvEEX+=4NicMUKZxqiK-7Emy1Ys6Ng@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Members of TVARC's Maillist,

Here's an exciting new way to enjoy your hobby (ham radio) while
contributing to a scientific experiment: the 2017 Solar Eclipse QSO Party
(SEQP) on August 21, 2017.  Quoting from hamsci.org's SEQP homepage:

"On 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."


The SEQP should particularly appeal to our club members who use digital
modes as the experiment will depend heavily on data gathered from the
Reverse Beacon Network (RBN). Our brethren who prefer CW and/or phone (SSB)
can also participate in the SEQP.

For more information, go to this website:
     http://www.hamsci.org/seqp

For the "contest" rules for the SEQP, go here:
     http://www.hamsci.org/seqp-rules

Another more technically involved way to contribute to the scientific
experiment is to setup your own RBN receiver.  See the hamsci.org webpage
for more details.

Message-ID: <596a29f3.8e51810a.78df7.3c2a@mx.google.com>

All,

 

I need some help. Tall help.

 

The wire extension from the top of my flagpole (antenna) going to the rear
of my house, got caught on an exhaust pipe up on the roof. Before I was able
to free it, the wire snapped.

I was always able to take down my flagpole, which I did last evening just
before sundown after the temperature came down from the afternoon heat.

 

I am in the process of repairing/replacing the wire at this time.

 

However, and this is where I need the help, to remount the flagpole; the
point where the pole is disconnected is right at my shoulder level, which
places the center of gravity above me when lifting the pole while keeping it
vertical, back into place.

 

Can anybody spare a few minutes to assist this morning?

I would like to get on the NAQP RTTY contest today, if possible.

Thank you George/K2DM, and John/NP2B for the help.

The antenna is working fine now. 

Will probably still need to trim it a bit on 75, and 160, but now I have the
room to play with it.

Working good enough for the contest.

I even worked Pete/K2PS on 15m.

Folks,

I need some help here. As you know, I am the chairman of the committee
investigating the possibility of putting up a club station.

This is the basic criteria. It needs to be accessible pretty much 24/7 so
that Club members can use it when they want, so it could be available for
training and educational purposes and available for contests, etc. We also
need to have it in a place where we can put up a modest but effective
antenna system such as a hexbeam and something for 40 & 80 meters. It
should be fairly close in so as to be accessible to all Village residents.

I have run into a stone wall with the sheriff's department and the fire
department. Does someone know someone in the Villages organization that
could help us find such a facility?

If so, please call me at 352 633-2910.
73,
John, NP2B

Sounds like a good selling feature for the Villages real estate people.
HOA restrictions scare away a lot of hams considering relocating to The
Villages.

Subject: [TVARC] DXCC Identifier & Club Station
Message-ID: <6C081D3F-9A1B-4088-A39E-02585467815D@gmail.com>

Re Club Station - it would be great to have one here in The Villages. However, I am not sure we will ever get any help from the people in charge. My experience over almost 13 years has been ?if not part of the plan, sorry?. Hate to be negative but I can only hit my head on a brick wall a certain number of times before I complain of a headache!!

Re DXCC Identifier - some of you know I am getting back into ham radio after a +20 year gap. Actually started about 1954 as WN1FZP in Quincy, MA. Anyway, I was looking over some of my old QSL cards and came across one I can not ?decode?. A copy is attached.

The card is from UR2QD and was from Tallinn, Estonia and reflects a QSO I had on Oct 26, 1980. However, the ARRL DXCC list states that UR is Ukraine and ES is Estonia and nothing in their deleted list addresses this part of the world during the Soviet Union.

I have sent a request to ARRL for some help but have not heard back yet. Thought I might give some of you a chance to help unravel this mystery.

Thanks for any help,

Frank, KA1AF

Just noticed another clue - he says he had been RU2QD from 1/1/80 to 3/8/80 (European dating). Try and find RU2!!!!!!
Maybe he was a bootlegger!!!!!!!

Earl/John,

I had mentioned to John a property next to the Polo Field(I forgot the name, but I believe they are a golf course/maintenance organization).  The structure is in an open area and would be ideal for antennas. Don't know if he was able to contact them.   Another thought is the Polo Field itself.  Is it possible, there is a room in that large structure that we could use?  Contact information is at:

http://www.thevillagespoloclub.com/contact.php


I am a snowbird so I will not be back until October.   Interestingly, our club here in Montgomery County Maryland is also looking to get a club operating station, and the thoughts now are focused on buying a trailer and getting a fire department, fire and rescue, hospital, or any government or private organization to allow parking and a modest antenna.


Just some thoughts..... look forward to returning.

73, Joe AB3CR

Hi Frank,

 

The UR prefix was indeed used for Estonia back then, as was UC for Byelorussia, UD for Azerbaijan, UF Georgia, etc.  These were the Soviet Socialist Republics back before the USSR broke up.  UB for Ukraine was the only one it used at the time, but now, as you have seen, there are lots more variations on the allowed prefixes for them.  It all used to be pretty straightforward but since they are all now separate countries, they?ve had to apply to the IARU for prefix blocks, some of which were reallocated from the USSR.

 

So UR2QD is a good call from what is now ES, Estonia.

 

BTW, I worked UR2QD back in 1988 and again in 1989.

 

73, Pete, K2PS

Re Club Station - it would be great to have one here in The Villages. However, I am not sure we will ever get any help from the people in charge. My experience over almost 13 years has been ?if not part of the plan, sorry?. Hate to be negative but I can only hit my head on a brick wall a certain number of times before I complain of a headache!!

 

Re DXCC Identifier - some of you know I am getting back into ham radio after a +20 year gap. Actually started about 1954 as WN1FZP in Quincy, MA. Anyway, I was looking over some of my old QSL cards and came across one I can not ?decode?. A copy is attached.

 

The card is from UR2QD and was from Tallinn, Estonia and reflects a QSO I had on Oct 26, 1980. However, the ARRL DXCC list states that UR is Ukraine and ES is Estonia and nothing in their deleted list addresses this part of the world during the Soviet Union.

 

I have sent a request to ARRL for some help but have not heard back yet. Thought I might give some of you a chance to help unravel this mystery.

 

Thanks for any help,

 

Frank, KA1AF

 

Just noticed another clue - he says he had been RU2QD from 1/1/80 to 3/8/80 (European dating). Try and find RU2!!!!!!

Maybe he was a bootlegger!!!!!!!

You beat me to the announcement. Worked him at 2032 and then got a call from my son.
That station is having a hard time getting people to understand his special call. When I looked it up, it is the Quito Radio Club celebrating 86 years!! For those that work him, QSL direct via HC1QRC.
Here is a link to information

Clubmates,
Before we get carried away approaching anyone we think might help us get a ?club station?, I firmly believe that we should
come to a club consensus as to exactly what we mean by a ?club station?.  In my humble opinion, it does not mean a ?closet?
somewhere where we can hide a radio and utilize compromise antennas.  I have developed a set of ?requirements?, solely from
my personal perspective of what we should be requesting, and I would gladly share them with any and all.  They include:  a. A
reasonable space, at least 12?x12? with 24/7 access, with air conditioning and with plumbing; b. space for us to erect, at the club?s
expense, a tower of some 40-60 feet onto which we could mount a decent yagi and wire antennas for the low bands, perhaps even
a 6M yagi and a 2M/440MHz antenna (the tower could conceivably be shorter and mounted on the top of an existing building).
My bottom line is that I plead with the club not to sell ourselves short just to say we have a club station.  The woodworkers have
a huge, well-appointed facility.  The polo club has an entire field with a grandstand (OK, perhaps I got carried away).  But we should
be asking for a REAL facility.
In the Developers? presentation to The Villages Homeowners? Association a few weeks ago, he challenged Villagers to make suggestions
as to what can be done with all the land that The Villages has purchased recently.  I believe we should give him an idea.
My two cents? worth.
73,
George, K2DM

        I need some help here. As you know, I am the chairman of the committee investigating the possibility of putting up a club station.    

        This is the basic criteria. It needs to be accessible pretty much 24/7 so that Club members can use it when they want, so it could be available for training and educational purposes and available for contests, etc. We also need to have it in a place where we can put up a modest but effective antenna system such as a hexbeam and something for 40 & 80 meters. It should be fairly close in so as to be accessible to all Village residents.  

        I have run into a stone wall with the sheriff's department and the fire department. Does someone know someone in the Villages organization that could help us find such a facility?   

        If so, please call me at 352 633-2910.

Message-ID: <CAEgDeRSPr2jYrokOrNHqer84uor24ry-UFZaeygUX+nDuy8pMw@mail.gmail.com>

This Sunday afternoon, I wanted a break from paperwork and bills so I was
sitting on out my driveway facing north with a cool drink in my hand.

I was watching the clouds roll by and noticed a nimbus cloud with two thick
clouds hanging down from it.  Next to it was three thin ones, about the
same length.  It was a ?7? in Morse Code (dah-dah-di-di-dit).  I?ve learned
from the Skywarn programs that clouds are CONSTANTLY changing and the
leading wispy edges will change or disappear in 1-2 minutes.  I kept
watching it and in 2 minutes, the three thin clouds disappeared, leaving an
?M? (dah-dah) so ....

I?m wondering, has anyone else in TVARC noticed ?Morse code in the
clouds?? ?

73,

Agree - going forth without an agreed plan can be a recipe for disaster.
I also think there should be some assumption of cost in the plan. Not acquisition costs or one time costs, but recurring costs - rental, utilities, insurance (and we will need that) etc.  The club will have to incur these recurring costs and it could mean increasing the dues somewhat. Even if space is volunteered - I am sure we will still have insurance and utilities and that might not be small considering its usage.
I would love to see a club station and will support our efforts 100%. 
We just need a consensus first.
Another idea for space - Golf course utility areas - they already have towers in those areas so adding ours should not be a problem!!

How about something like The Villages Carpentry Shop?  Maybe The Villages
could build an extension on to the carpentry shop? They could charge a
yearly fee for the use of the facility.  Also how about inquiring about
something at the Charter School?  That could be a win win for both the
school and the club.  Just some ideas.

Charter School is a serious issue. I ran a volleyball group on Sundays at the High School Gym. Anytime the school was closed (e.g. holidays) we were not allowed into the school. Anytime ANY student activity was going on, we were not allowed into the school.
I would recommend we not pursue this avenue. A good idea - I just pass along my own experiences with Village activities at the school.

The Villages wood shop might be a good location.? I don't know if there's a closet or anything there, but I believe a garden club grows vegies? behind it.? It's in an industrial area, so it does seem like a reasonable tower of some kind shouldn't be a big issue.? At least if common sense prevails.? It is accessible by golf cart.

I made a written proposal for planning of space, start up budget, recurring budget etc. to the Board of Directors on July 6th and I encouraged by the metered approach that you have suggested.

Agree - going forth without an agreed plan can be a recipe for disaster.
I also think there should be some assumption of cost in the plan. Not acquisition costs or one time costs, but recurring costs - rental, utilities, insurance (and we will need that) etc.  The club will have to incur these recurring costs and it could mean increasing the dues somewhat. Even if space is volunteered - I am sure we will still have insurance and utilities and that might not be small considering its usage.
I would love to see a club station and will support our efforts 100%. 
We just need a consensus first.
Another idea for space - Golf course utility areas - they already have towers in those areas so adding ours should not be a problem!!

I kinda smiled when I worked K2PS, especially the second time. LOL

I never got into a run or rhythm. But, then, I was more busy tuning around
and always checking the SWR at different points on the band (even though
RTTY was in one small place).
My issue was the ever present fact that I had just had the antenna re-worked
earlier in the day, with thanks again to George (K2DM), and John (NP2B). 
Like Pete reported, I found an SWR issue on 40m, and 80m, so I need to do a
little tweaking on the length of wire in use.
My first 4 contacts were on 10m, and was in a Run mode, and were all within
5 or 6 minutes from the start. I think the 10m band went belly up about
then.

I agree with George 100%.  As an avid contester, I am still in withdrawal
having to go backward 50 years in terms of competitive station.  I can
still climb so I'll volunteer to erect the tower if we get permission. 
Not being a duffer, this place has way too much open space, hi.

Following with interest these messages on a club station.  How about shining some light on the situation?  A well written article focusing on the what we can do for The Villages would help get the word out.  Villages-News would be a good place to start.  They have many pictures from our events to help make the point..  This approach might bring some ideas from outside TV, which could also prove enlightening.

Clubmates,

Before we get carried away approaching anyone we think might help us get a ?club station?, I firmly believe that we should

come to a club consensus as to exactly what we mean by a ?club station?.  In my humble opinion, it does not mean a ?closet?

somewhere where we can hide a radio and utilize compromise antennas.  I have developed a set of ?requirements?, solely from

my personal perspective of what we should be requesting, and I would gladly share them with any and all.  They include:  a. A

reasonable space, at least 12?x12? with 24/7 access, with air conditioning and with plumbing; b. space for us to erect, at the club?s

expense, a tower of some 40-60 feet onto which we could mount a decent yagi and wire antennas for the low bands, perhaps even

a 6M yagi and a 2M/440MHz antenna (the tower could conceivably be shorter and mounted on the top of an existing building).

My bottom line is that I plead with the club not to sell ourselves short just to say we have a club station.  The woodworkers have

a huge, well-appointed facility.  The polo club has an entire field with a grandstand (OK, perhaps I got carried away).  But we should

be asking for a REAL facility.

In the Developers? presentation to The Villages Homeowners? Association a few weeks ago, he challenged Villagers to make suggestions

as to what can be done with all the land that The Villages has purchased recently.  I believe we should give him an idea.

My two cents? worth.

73,

George, K2DM

I agree with all that a solid proposal for the Club Station is a priority.
In addition to serving the needs of the "contesting" community, some small
amount of workbench space would be valuable, IMHO. In this way, club
construction projects could be facilitated providing a major educational
benefit. A bench area equipped with a solder station and basic test
equipment would be great. I even have some test equipment that could be
donated.
As far as recurring costs are concerned, I would expect that insurance
costs for shared facility may be considerable. I some cases, either new or
additional lightning protection will be an expectation, especially when a
60 ft. tower is placed nearby.

Ladies and Gents,

              I don?t know John Rohan well enough to contact him on this issue but I do know Pam Henry fairly well.  I am a Villages? Shuffleboard Club Director and I worked with Pam Henry?s department in developing a better system to process the many Shuffleboard Club Rec Center Permits (contracts) that are required for each Seasons? Court reservations for Club Play.  I think she could be an avenue to reach into the Rec Department.  She  is Mr. Rohan?s sidekick on a lot of issues.

 

              I agree with all that has been written about needing a plan, making it first class, and not expecting to capture a closet at the Woodshop or elsewhere.  What I know about Pam Henry and Rohan, they want things to be first class as well.

 

              Let me know if you want any of my assistance.

 

Sincerely,

George

Subject: [TVARC] club station
Message-ID: <7B7A17C5-5D82-46C8-A921-5CE9B971801E@gmail.com>

Hi Folks,
	Here is my 2 cents worth for today:

	We obviously have some people who are interested in a club station - I wonder how many and how interested? 
	Step one, I believe, is to answer that question. 
We could start by a simple show of hands at a club meeting however I believe a wider and more in-depth approach would be better. The question is how to reach as many members as possible. To that end, a mailing to all 203 members might be considered. In such a mailing we need to define at least briefly what we envision for a club station and then ask for responses and ideas. Survey questions need to be brief and leave options for answers we didn?t think of. Some folks prefer on-line surveys so perhaps we could both. In any case K.I.S.S.
	Let us start by defining the club station as we (this group who have responded by email) would like to see it:
		Where will it be,
		How big,
		What modes would the station support,
		How is it to be funded and who gets to use it? (Sticky wicket this) 
	Naturally there are many other questions to be answered but this survey of club interest in a club station needs only to be a simple as possible to get the answers we are looking for.

Hi Earle,

Once again, plowing up snakes, I'm good at that.

One thing I would like for you to do at this Club meeting is to appoint a
couple of folks who would actually* work with me* toward formulating the
game plan to make this club station thing a reality.

A lot of folks say "you should do this" and "you should do that," but never
lift a finger to actually help with the process..

When you appoint these people, please emphasize that we will ACTIVELY have
to meet and work and not just be named to a committee and do nothing.

See you 2nite,
73,
J

John:

 

The following is the minutes of K4VRC for Sept. 17, 2013, which reported a
presentation given to The Villages (Rohan) on establishing a club station in
the update of El Santiago Recreation center. The short discussion is under
new business. It appears that some groundwork had been laid for a Club
Station.

The Villages wood shop might be a good location.  I don't know if there's a
closet or anything there, but I believe a garden club grows vegies  behind
it.  It's in an industrial area, so it does seem like a reasonable tower of
some kind shouldn't be a big issue.  At least if common sense prevails.  It
is accessible by golf cart.

Folks,   

 

I need some help here. As you know, I am the chairman of the committee
investigating the possibility of putting up a club station.    

 

This is the basic criteria. It needs to be accessible pretty much 24/7 so
that Club members can use it when they want, so it could be available for
training and educational purposes and available for contests, etc. We also
need to have it in a place where we can put up a modest but effective
antenna system such as a hexbeam and something for 40 & 80 meters. It should
be fairly close in so as to be accessible to all Village residents.  

 

I have run into a stone wall with the sheriff's department and the fire
department. Does someone know someone in the Villages organization that
could help us find such a facility?   

 

If so, please call me at 352 633-2910 <tel:(352)%20633-2910> .

The Villages subsequently denied us any space in the new El Santiago rec center. ?We were offered the use of a lot behind the woodworking shop on Rolling Acres. ?They failed to recognize we needed electric power.

John:

?

The following is the minutes of K4VRC for
Sept. 17, 2013, which reported a presentation given to The Villages (Rohan) on
establishing a club station in the update of El Santiago
Recreation center. The short discussion is under new business. It appears that
some groundwork had been laid for a Club Station.

Hi Earle, ??





?





Once again, plowing up snakes, I'm good at that.?





?





One thing I would like for you to do at this Club meeting is to appoint
a couple of folks who would actually?work
with me toward formulating the game plan to make this club station
thing a reality. ??





?





A lot of folks say "you should do this" and "you should
do that," but never lift a finger to actually help with the
process..?





?





When you appoint these people, please emphasize that we will ACTIVELY
have to meet and work and not just be named to a committee and do nothing.

See you 2nite, ??

Hi Folks,



Here is my 2 cents worth for today:





?





We obviously have some people who are interested in a club station - I wonder how many and how
interested??





Step one, I believe, is to answer that question.?





We could start by a simple show of hands at a club meeting however I
believe a wider and more in-depth approach would be better. The question is how
to reach as many members as possible. To that end, a mailing to all 203 members
might be considered. In such a mailing we need to define at least briefly what
we envision for a club station and then ask for responses and ideas. Survey
questions need to be brief and leave options for answers we didn?t think
of. Some folks prefer on-line surveys so perhaps we could both. In any case K.I.S.S.





Let us start by defining the club station as we (this group who have
responded by email) would like to see it:





Where will it be,





How big,





What modes would the station support,





How is it to be funded and who gets to use it? (Sticky wicket
this)?





Naturally there are many other questions to be answered but this survey
of club interest in a club station needs only to be a simple as possible to get
the answers we are looking for.

The Village
wood shop has no spare space at all; they are constantly having people storing
wood or projects take their stuff home to make room for work space.? I
think George has the right idea; setting out what we ideally want and going for
it.? Our needs, even for an ideal station are much less that those at the
wood shop.? The Villages built the building, and purchased the initial
inventory of all the tools(many lathes and drill presses, planers, jointers,
routers, an elaborate dust collection system) and they provide the
utilities.? The Club maintains the tools and replaces equipment as it
wears out.? The Village recently increased the size of the parking lot to
about double the parking. ??

The Villages
wood shop might be a good location.? I don't know if there's a closet or
anything there, but I believe a garden club grows vegies? behind it.?
It's in an industrial area, so it does seem like a reasonable tower of some

It is accessible by golf cart.

All,
I just thought I'd update the group on my recent experiences in trying to
get operational antennas in a Villa community setting. There is also a plea
for help in the following.
First the "good news":
After some few months experimenting with attic-placed antennas for UHF/VHF,
I have settled on a dual band J pole attached to a palm tree about 10 ft.
from the house. The same antenna placed in the attic, activated the smoke
alarms throughout the house. Rather than replacing the smoke detectors, I
opted to use the antenna placed outside and have not seen it necessary to
replace the smoke alarm components. Performance of the external antenna is
better anyway. I can run up to 50 w on VHF and UHF without any issues. This
is good enough to access most ( maybe all) of the local repeaters.
Now for the"bad news", the HF story:
I have had some decent luck with a number of (non attic) "stealth" antennas
on HF, my primary interest is 40-10 meters,; a number of remote tuner-fed
long wire types work OK. I can make contacts, even a few dx contacts mostly
on CW. However all these antennas trip my original Eaton AFCI breakers at
20 W or more RF power. I recall that the club raised this issue with the
villages. I am just wondering about the current status. Are replacement
circuit breakers still available? I am looking for guidance....

John,

 

John (NP2B) is the champion of this project. But if you contact the electrical contractor as listed on your breaker box, they ?should? respond and change out the breakers at no cost.

If not, then you can contact Eaton corporation directly. Here is a link to the article on the ARRL web site when ARRL was working and sharing their lab to assist Eaton in developing the RFI proof breakers.

http://www.arrl.org/news/arrl-helps-manufacturer-to-resolve-arc-fault-circuit-interrupter-rfi-problems

Contact Joe Fello at Eaton. His number is at the bottom of the article. Once you identify yourself, and that you are with our radio club, and it probably wouldn?t hurt to mention John Ellis?s name, he will ask ?How many do you want?? This is of course with you doing the replacement/install yourself.

If you have any issues or difficulties doing it yourself, there are some of us (including myself) that can help you with it.

 

BTW ? the homes built south of 466A not only have the AFCI issue, but they build the roofs with an aluminum underlay, intended as a heat shield, But for us hams, this heat shield also acts as an RFI shield making any attic antennas pretty useless.

Rich, ND4G

I get my ?kicks? in my Ham Radio hobby through restoration of hollow state (tube) vintage equipment.  I live south of 466A.  This past Spring, while prepping for an alignment of a Collins 32S-3, I went key down for just a minute at 50% power and heard multiple snapping sounds.  My workbench and shack are in my garage just a few feet from the breaker panel but I didn?t need to go look for popped breakers because my XYL appeared within seconds to let me know the TV, lights and clocks had all gone out.  6 of my 7 AFCIs had dropped.  

A few days later I discussed this occurrence with John, NP2B.  He advised that I call The Villages Warranty department which I did.  They directed me to the original electrical installer, Pike Electric.  When I called them and explained the issue they wasted no time in arranging a visit by their technician who appeared 2 days later with a box of breakers.  He told me the new breakers ?solved the RF susceptibility problem?.  He replaced all of the old AFCIs in 20 minutes.  When he left I brought up the 32S3 and hit it with full power.  Problem solved.  Kudos to Pike Electric.

Once you identify yourself, and that you are with our radio club, and it probably wouldn?t hurt to mention John Ellis?s name, he will ask ?How many do you want?? This is of course with you doing the replacement/install yourself.
If you have any issues or difficulties doing it yourself, there are some of us (including myself) that can help you with it.

BTW ? the homes built south of 466A not only have the AFCI issue, but they build the roofs with an aluminum underlay, intended as a heat shield, But for us hams, this heat shield also acts as an RFI shield making any attic antennas pretty useless.

Subject: [TVARC] Eaton AFCI Circuit breakers- the continuing saga

All,
I just thought I'd update the group on my recent experiences in trying to get operational antennas in a Villa community setting. There is also a plea for help in the following.
First the "good news":
After some few months experimenting with attic-placed antennas for UHF/VHF, I have settled on a dual band J pole attached to a palm tree about 10 ft. from the house. The same antenna placed in the attic, activated the smoke alarms throughout the house. Rather than replacing the smoke detectors, I opted to use the antenna placed outside and have not seen it necessary to replace the smoke alarm components. Performance of the external antenna is better anyway. I can run up to 50 w on VHF and UHF without any issues. This is good enough to access most ( maybe all) of the local repeaters.
Now for the"bad news", the HF story:
I have had some decent luck with a number of (non attic) "stealth" antennas on HF, my primary interest is 40-10 meters,; a number of remote tuner-fed long wire types work OK. I can make contacts, even a few dx contacts mostly on CW. However all these antennas trip my original Eaton AFCI breakers at 20 W or more RF power. I recall that the club raised this issue with the villages. I am just wondering about the current status. Are replacement circuit breakers still available? I am looking for guidance....
73, John

Survey questions need to be brief and leave options for answers we didn?t think of. Some folks prefer on-line surveys so perhaps we could both. In any case K.I.S.S.

I think George has the right idea; setting out what we ideally want and going for it.  Our needs, even for an ideal station are much less that those at the wood shop.  The Villages built the building, and purchased the initial inventory of all the tools(many lathes and drill presses, planers, jointers, routers, an elaborate dust collection system) and they provide the utilities.  The Club maintains the tools and replaces equipment as it wears out.  The Village recently increased the size of the parking lot to about double the parking.

I was downloading and installing the latest WSJT-X to look at the new FT8
mode, and also the latest fldigi while I was at it.

During the configuration of fldigi, I didn't hear many signals on any bands
40-10 meters. Perhaps a handful of CW signals on 20.

Scary, but, I read about the solar storm that Wayne posted here a couple of
days ago.. Are we in the blackout period right now?

Frank,
I currently have 3 different models of raspberry Pi around the house. Two
of these are used in various ham radio related projects. One is a low power
WSPR transmitter; the other is a Winlink 2000 client for emergency e-mail
via ham radio. This latter project is well documented online; search for
the "PiGate" and you'll find more that you want to know...I will eventually
dedicate another Pi to function as the Winlink email server for emergency
use.
I am OK with sharing information that relate to these. I don't know if
another email group is needed. I guess it depends on how tired the rest of
this list gets seeing RPi traffic on here. Including Arduino projects is OK
by me too. Of course, individual email to me is always an optioin.

73,
John, NX2I

Message-ID: <045801d30249$5c4cedd0$14e6c970$@com>

At the General Meeting last night, the establishment of the TVARC Worked All
States List was announced.

 

Like the DXCC Standings List, we encourage you to get on the air and attempt
to work all the 50 US States.  A few simple rules:

 

.         Begins on August 1, 2017

.         States may be worked on any band/mode

.         Must be worked from within the confines of The Villages

.         Honor system - no QSLs or confirmations are required - just work
'em!

.         Send your counts directly to me at psk2ps at gmail.com

 

Some of our members indicated the desire to participate using Internet-based
modes, such as D-Star or Echolink.  We encourage this, and will post totals
worked on these modes, but please do not comingle any such contacts with
fully RF-based QSOs.  If you wish to employ both RF and Internet-based
modes, then you may submit two separate entries, one in each category.   

 

Report your totals up to one week prior to each General Meeting, so that
they can be included in the slide presentation.  I will try and remind you,
via the reflector, to send your latest counts, but just for the first few
months.  After that you'll be on your own.  And when you get to 45 or more,
include the list of which states you're still missing.

 

Good luck!

 

73, Pete, K2PS

Does anyone know of someplace local that one can get a telescoping mast?? The maximum height of each section should be 4 to 6 ft.? I want to use it to raise and lower a vertical antenna as needed.? The maximum extended height I need is 12 ft.? I have looked at the poles at the Flag Store on 441/27 but really don't need something that tall.? Any ideas will be happily received.?

Sam,

If you don't need anything particularly strong, you might try a fishing or
sporting good store. "South Bend" makes a a collapsible fishing pole thats
about 3 feet long and can go up to about 20 feet. Make it a long as you
want. I think the model was "SB-20."

Hope this helps,
73,
John, NP2B

I have used a pool cleaner extender arm from Home Depot.  Two sections, aluminum, light weight, maybe 7 ft collapsed and 12 ft extended.

Well i guess yesterday Thursday July 27, was a fantastic 6m day. Family
stuff took president, but I did manage a couple FT8 contacts and one new
grid so not a total loss. 10m was also a nice surprise and i got a couple
contacts there also. Some 10m cw was worked by friends also.
6m digital has activity already this morning. Mostly VEs, and East coast
stations cally cq dx looking for europe. Boy tjat would be great on 6m.
Never had that opportunity.

So the moral of this email is if your itching for some radio activity keep
a radio on and check the bands...
