Subject: [TVARC] Ground Rod
Message-ID: <010301d5307c$f8590840$e90b18c0$@com>

I'm finally getting around to installing a ground rod.  I know, I know,
should have done it long ago.  But now that my touch faucet starts running
when I run HP, I'm gonna have to do something about it.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I get that thing eight feet into
the ground?  I tried a power washer but it will only go so far.  Only using
a hammer to pound it in doesn't cut it.  I suppose a big sledgehammer might
do the trick?  But I'm thinking maybe someone has come up some brilliant
idea for getting that rod in the ground easily, before I go out and buy one
and then start pounding away.

 

73, Pete, K2PS.

Pete?
Here is a photo of my ground rod tool.
House hose pressure is adequate. I use the coupler/shutoff at the end of the hose and suggest you do as well.
The left end photo shows a notch in the 1/2 ID PVC. Additionally, there is a screw across the notch.
When you use the tool you will need to twist the pipe +/- 90 degrees so the notch/screw will break up the clay.
Before you start, be aware that the water pressure will force up the material and make a 'hill' around the hole and the water will carry material where ever it wants too.

Pete,

Why an 8-foot rod?  Cut it in half and bond the two together.  Should be
easier to pound in 4-foot rods.  (I did that up in the Granite State out
of necessity, hi.)

You might try renting a fence post driver. This is a 2? steel pipe with handles and a heavy load in one end. Try Home Depot. 
BTW standing on a ladder pounding a ground rod in with a sledge hammer is probably not the best idea?

Here in nh we took  1/2 inch copper rod and cut an angle at one end to make it sharp. Fastened a modified garden hose with 2 hose clamps to the other end. Turned on the water and pushed the rod 5 feet into the ground by publishing down and pulling back maybe 8 times. Then hit ledge. But in regular dirt 9 ft would be easy. Never used a sledge.

The villages "soil" is typically sand and like driving a stake into butter.
A small sledge hammer is all I needed. Took me all of 1 minute to drive in
an 8 foot rod..

The response to my query for installation suggestions of my ground rod was
overwhelming.  Each email I received took me in a different direction.
First I was going to attach my power drill to the top of the rod and press
the button, but the diameter was just a bit too large.  Then I was going to
cut the rod in two and install a pair of rods.  Then a sledgehammer was the
only way to pound them in.  Margheritas were also suggested when the heat
and exhaustion set in.

 

Jackhammer rentals, fence post drivers, lightening protection installer guy
to do it instead of me, were other options.  Also specially designed
fittings to adapt water into the hole.

 

But the best of all, was when Sam, KB8SB called me and offered to come over
and bring his what I think was a fence post driver, and we drove that baby
all the way down into the ground (I say we, but Sam did most of the
pounding)!

 

Thanks to K1LTJ, ND4G, K3ZGA, WA3CTZ, KK2Y, NP2B, K9IA, W1EJM, K9EK, KC1JZC,
and NX2I for their suggestions.  Nice to see so much support in the club.

 

73, Pete, K2PS

One fella mentioned that he had attached it to his hammer drill and it went right down then used a hand sledge for the last few inches...

Good luck, Pete!

Wasn?t me referred to here, but that?s the way I do it. I made a guided hammer adapter for my concrete buster hammer/drill. I?ve driven 26 rods around my ?summer? home, through Indiana clay and hardpan. I will be bringing the hammer and adapter back in late fall and, if somebody reminds me, others can use it to drive in rods. Improving my FL ground system is on my to-do list already.

All,

 

Here's a pretty nice pamphlet sent to me by one of my club mates from a
Dayton-area ham club.  Hope you enjoy it.  Some may be aware of it or
already have a cy.  This is the newest edition, from what I can determine.

Has anyone heard GB13COL on. Every once in a while I hear someone calling
him or spotting him
on the reflector, but have yet to hear (or see) him.

We had a 100% success rate with our Campers ? all of the FM radios that they built worked right away.  They, and their grandparents, were thrilled.
A number of the Campers then went to the Morse Code demonstration provided by Tom and had fun sending their names and other stuff.
Once again, TVARC members presented our club in a very positive light while we provided a service to our community.
Thanks to all who participated!!
Special thanks to Bob, WA3EWK, who took it upon himself to draft a meaningful set of step by step instructions for assembling the radios.

This was by far the best kit we've used! All radios worked. No one was

a future ham, or two!

It seems to me that camp villages is our best event when it comes to impacting villagers. Great job everyone I only wish I could have been there. 
Next year.

The kit was the ?Snap Circuits FM Radio? by Elenco.  It is available many places, but the best price I found was at Christian Books:
https://www.christianbook.com/snap-circuits-fm-radio/pd/356102?en=bing-pla&event=SHOP&kw=toys-20-40%7C356102&p=1179517&dv=c&msclkid=7087fd30aeb812eecf0da02f6e294814&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Shopping%20Main&utm_term=4580702881405462&utm_content=s-all%20products

Wow, that?s a long URL.  I hope it works for you.

Folks,

I wasn't there, but judging from all the comment,
it sounds like a excellent opportunity to have a
special event station with a special 1X1 call like
K4V.

A lot of stations chase certificates, plenty of
time for publicity, the Villages would probably
be happy to print the certificates and QSLs.
1X1 calls get a lot of special attention on the
sir.

A beam set up at the site,, the TVARC club
banner calling attention locally and nationally
to the Camp Villages project? With the special
event call, and a published frequency, there
would be plenty of people looking for us which
would assure us of a bunch of contacts.

If we want to do this, we would have to form
a committee now and apply for the special
callsign for the date of the event immediately,
or at least soon.

What does everyone think of the idea?

73,
J

I like the idea but not sure if they would allow us to put up an antenna.  Plus we only have a limited time at Colony's rec center...but I'm keeping my arthritic fingers crossed ???

Folks, 


I wasn't there, but judging from all the comment, 
it sounds like a excellent opportunity to have a 
special event station with a special 1X1 call like 
K4V. 


A lot of stations chase certificates, plenty of 
time for publicity, the Villages would probably 
be happy to print the certificates and QSLs. 
1X1 calls get a lot of special attention on the 
sir. 


A beam set up at the site,, the TVARC club 
banner calling attention locally and nationally 
to the Camp Villages project? With the special 
event call, and a published frequency, there 
would be plenty of people looking for us which 
would assure us of a bunch of contacts.   


If we want to do this, we would have to form 
a committee now and apply for the special 
callsign for the date of the event immediately, 
or at least soon. 


What does everyone think of the idea? 


73,   
J

I would recommend going for the Radio on The Square date around Thanksgiving. Lots of kids visiting.

One day left. 

My approach was to work them as I could, where ever I could. And then after
my insurance contacts, I put effort in working them on 40 and all on CW. 

This, I achieved  at the 100w level. Clean sweep 40 CW excluding the Brit. 

K2Z was working split. What a mess. But, I can be persistent.

The Brit was in there. Quite strong on 40cw last evening. What a Nut House.
I gave it a try but too many desperate folks in one place at one time.

FT8 on steroids. 

Then  on to QRP. 

I had hoped to replicate my efforts using QRP. 

Almost did it too. 

I will submit my 100w effort which is the same as last year and the year
before.  

Conditions were poor at best. I could hear the Brit often. Listened on phone
and at one point tried to work him on SSB. For Shame. Had to bow my head 

in submission to work K2J on FT8. But,  "Never Mind". 

Lucky for me, K2J finally showed up on 40, after my desperate move to 80 for
insurance. 

Equipment: 100w using a Flagpole and LDG-600 tuner. Minimal at best.

Ms. J and I also got them all, and on FT-8, with
50 watts or less, into either screwdrivers or the
flagpole. One or two on phone or <gasp> CW,
for insurance purposes, but at different times.

The Brit was difficult because he was hearing all the states at
one time.

GM all,

Ms. J and I  got them all, and on FT-8, with
50 watts or less, into either screwdrivers or the
flagpole. One or two on phone or <gasp> CW
contacts for insurance purposes, but still managed
to fill the log with all FT-8.

The Brit was difficult because he was hearing
more of the states at one time. But patience
brethren, patience. Remember FT-8 can be
aptly described as "the art of clicking," coupled
with a little bit of well timed luck!

73,
John, NP2B, opr W4MRJ

Nice going guys. I?ve got today yet to snag my one remaining holdout, K2C in Rhode Island. I called him patiently for over an hour last night on 40M until he went QRT, but, he never heard me in the noise.

I?ve worked 9 States on CW, the remaining 4 on FT8. All less than 50 watts with the OCF Flagpole.

I worked WM3PEN on FT8, but, never heard the Brit loud enough to even try. I attempted K2Z a couple of times, but, never could compete with the crowd.

Hopefully I?ll find K2C today for my Sweep.

Congrats on your accomplishments!

Bob, K3ZGA

GM all,?

Ms. J and I? got them all, and on FT-8, with?
50 watts or less, into either screwdrivers or the?
flagpole. One or two on phone or <gasp> CW?
contacts for insurance purposes, but still managed?

The Brit was difficult because he was hearing?

Subject: [TVARC] help with project
Message-ID: <CAMVpgJorSs98gL67jfmtUtJiFxZDUtz3HmvD6c1Sxfovz2FaKA@mail.gmail.com>

I am curious if there is anyone within the group that could help with a
radio-related project. Specifically, I am looking for someone with
woodworking skills and tools; I have neither. I have an operating Winlink
RMS (email server) radio station and an APRS Igate station that desperately
need organization and housing. The radio equipment works just fine, but I
need to reclaim the back of my garage for other purposes. I'd like to make
this capable of being used as a portable (perhaps emergency) setup. For
reference, the radio setup looks like this currently. There is a collection
of radio and power components.
[image: 20190406_114119.jpg]

I am looking for some help with cutting plywood sheet so that I can mount
and fit most of this stuff into a portable case.
My goal is to have it look like this. Obviously, some of the radio/power
components are different so think of the desired outcome as a general
guideline. The case is a Pelican 1440 and even comes with detailed drawings.

[image: radio_box.jpg]
I have the case ready to go....just need a volunteer to help cut and mount
the components. Please let me know if you have any interest.

Thanks in advance and 73,
John, NX2I

I will echo the nice going with a little envy thrown in.

Here in my rental in Ocala, I only got my station on the air ?FINALLY? a couple of days ago, with yesterday being a total rain-out here.

I was able to work K2A, K2D, K2F, K2H, K2J, and K2M. I at least heard WM3PEN a few times, but never any luck, and I only saw the Brit being called once, but never heard him.

On the DX side of things, I was able to work YV5, PJ2, NP3, HK3, and V31; all with a borrowed TS450S, 35 watts into my bumper mount Hustler mobile antenna with a single band 20 mtr trap, mounted to a DirecTv mast 2 feet off the ground. My thanks to John/NP2B for the assist with the connectors to help me build the cable I needed to get outside. Only running FT8 here for now. Will probably try FT4, and JS8Call soon.

I am curious if there is anyone within the group that could help with a
radio-related project. Specifically, I am looking for someone with
woodworking skills and tools; I have neither. I have an operating Winlink
RMS (email server) radio station and an APRS Igate station that desperately
need organization and housing. The radio equipment works just fine, but I
need to reclaim the back of my garage for other purposes. I'd like to make
this capable of being used as a portable (perhaps emergency) setup. There
is a collection of radio and power components that need mounting into a
Pelican case.

I am looking for some help with cutting plywood sheet so that I can mount
the station components into the portable case.
I have the case ready to go....just need a volunteer to help cut and mount
the components. Please let me know if you have any interest.
I can supply some photos of what I'd like to attempt if needed.
Thanks in advance and 73,
John, NX2I

You could investigate the MFJ - 1982 80-10M end fed long wire antenna. It comes in 3 power versions (HP, MP, and LP). Also the MFJ-1984 40-10M end fed long wire antenna. It also comes on 3 power versions. 
I have no practical experience but my brother, KA1CD, in MA has been using it for at least 6 months and is very happy with it.

GM everyone. I havent worked anyone yet but 6m FT8 has quite a bit of
activity.  I copy Canada, Puerto Rico direct as well as several stateside
guys. I see guys working J69DS St Lucia but I dont copy him direct...  GL

First contest using my Elecraft KPA500/KAT500 combo.  I looove it!  What a
difference it makes to have 500W - can legitimately run stations and even
have SSB stations come back to me.  Been a long time...

Not gonna win anything, competing with the big boys, but it's much less of a
grind.  After all, I'm retired!

Conditions not great for DX, but lots of stateside stations in this one, so
certainly kept my interest.

Well, sort of.

 

Check out page 89 in the August (latest) 2019 issue of QST.  Right there, in
the Local Club competition for the ARRL RTTY Roundup (from January), is the
entry for The Villages Amateur Radio Club.  And we didn't even finish last!

Thanks Pete. Nice to see TVARC mentioned.
You might also take a peak at the 2019 ARRL January VHF Contest Results on page 92 of July QST. Under Southeast Region, SO3B, you might find KA1AF in 3rd!!

First contest using my Elecraft KPA500/KAT500 combo.  I looove it!  What a

difference it makes to have 500W - can legitimately run stations and even

have SSB stations come back to me.  Been a long time...

 

Not gonna win anything, competing with the big boys, but it's much less of a

grind.  After all, I'm retired!

 

Conditions not great for DX, but lots of stateside stations in this one, so

certainly kept my interest.

DX Alert!  A big DXpedition, 1A0C,  just kicked off from Sovereign Military
Order of Malta (S.M.O.M).  Don't ask why this counts for DXCC, the important
thing is that this is a 'country" that doesn't come up on the air very
often, and should be workable from The Villages.  It's a big operation, with
many stations on the air at the same time, including FT8.

 

They're only planning to be there until July 21, so don't tarry!

It wasn't easy, but after diligent research I've figured out that, as
Dennis, N0SMX, suggested, 1A0C is actually in Rome, Italy.  Yes, I know, the
name of the "country" is The Sovereign Military Order of Malta.  The 1A0C
website (http://www.1a0c.com/) doesn't give us the QTH, but QRZ.com does
show an address of 

 

The Order of Malta's Italian Relief Corps CISOM
Amateur Radio Station
Roma
SMO Malta

 

So, Roma (Rome, Italy)? Or Malta?  I did find a Czech website
(http://www.ok1rr.com/index.php/13-news/52-1a0c-sovereign-military-order-of-
malta) from 2012 that stated they were on the air from "Santa Maria del
Priorato, home of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta."  Why doesn't
anyone just tell us where they are!?  Well, Googling Santa Maria del
Priorato puts us squarely in the city of Rome, right by the Tiber river.
And there's a photo of the building which matches a photo on the 1A0C
website.

Just as the Vatican is an autonomous entity, so is the SMOM.  I remember
when I first worked it years ago, I thought it was an autonomous entity
linked to the island of Malta.  I kept thinking it was the Soviet Order
of Malta, a Russian carve-out in the Med, hi.  Anyway, got them on 30
meter FT8.  CW has been spotty with weak signals here.  Operation is
pretty lame for a large group.  Italian stations are usually strong even
on wet-noodle TVARC antennas.

Thanks Pete I knew I wasnt losing my mind entirely (yet).
As Ed said its strange that they arent stronger since the Italians are
usually much easier to copy...
Regardless they still count as a seperate DXCC entity so go get'em..
Congrats to all who have them..

Sounds like the grounds for forming an Dxpedition
to Brownwood. But when you think about it, 4U1ITU
is considered a separate country. Scarborough Reef
is considered a separate country (thats a reach) and
the UK bases on Cypress for some reason, constitute
as separate DXCC entity.

Oh well, from a dxer's point of view,  work 'em, log 'em
and argue about 'em later...

With 35 watts and my OCF Flagpole, I?ve worked 19 stations in 14 Grid Squares in a little less than 2 hours. Most of my contacts have been in the Mid-Atlantic and New England States along with four stations in Ontario, Canada. 3 QSOs were on FT8 and 16 QSOs on CW. Plus, I worked K2PS at 19:45Z!

It?s been a fun little contest so far.

 Hi,

In case you have missed all the media hype this month, here's a reminder to
reflect later tonight on the historic landing on the Moon on July 20,
1969.  Try to take a walk outside tonight and if it's clear in your area,
look up at the Moon (assuming it's visible in your area) and thoughtfully
reflect on the great achievement humankind made 50 years ago today and the
brave men and women of NASA and its contractors that had "the right stuff"
to make it happen.

With 35 watts and my OCF Flagpole, I?ve worked 19 stations in 14 Grid Squares in a little less than 2 hours. Most of my contacts have been in the Mid-Atlantic and New England States along with four stations in Ontario, Canada. 3 QSOs were on FT8 and 16 QSOs on CW. Plus, I worked K2PS at 19:45Z!

 

States: FL ? MD ? OH ? NH ? NY ? KY ? CT ? PA - 

Provinces:  Ontario  x 4

 

It?s been a fun little contest so far.

For those interested in 6M, it has been kind of 

open all day. A few really strong SSB stations 

on for the contest, lots of qsb  but steady FT-8 

activity.

All,

 

The latest Solar Storm Forecast (video) from Dr. Tamitha Skov/WX6SWW is
posted on our web site and is ready for viewing. There are nice indications
that the new Cycle 25 is soon to arrive. For you newbies; that means that
world-wide HF radio wave propagation will soon be a regular thing during
daytime hours, and you don't have to rely on FT8 as the only means.

 <https://www.k4vrc.com/> 

Scroll down to the lower left corner of the home page. For you mobile
viewers (viewing one column at a time), that would be half way down, as in
the middle of the page.

To learn more about Space Weather and HF propagation, please follow the link
about HF propagation. Dr. Skov has provided a very in depth mini course
about space weather and propagation in a series of on-line videos.

Rich Erlichman, ND4G

Hi,

In case you have missed all the media hype this month, here's a reminder to reflect later tonight on the historic landing on the Moon on July 20, 1969.  Try to take a walk outside tonight and if it's clear in your area, look up at the Moon (assuming it's visible in your area) and thoughtfully reflect on the great achievement humankind made 50 years ago today and the brave men and women of NASA and its contractors that had "the right stuff" to make it happen.

The band openings this weekend were way better than those of the June VHF
Contest a couple of weeks ago.  Usually the propagation gets worse as the
summer goes on, but 6 meters never fails to surprise.  Unfortunately the
beam I had up for the June contest is sitting in the garage all
disassembled, waiting for next year, so I had to make do with my G5RV
multiband antenna.  But running 500W attracts a whole lot of stations, and
when the band was open they called in droves.  SSB is the money mode here,
with CW a distant second.  Some nice mults showed up on FT8, but the going
is pretty slow in comparison.  Didn't get around to installing the new WSJT
version to include FT4, but early comments are that the bulk of the activity
was still with the longer cycle FT8.  Heard a few Europeans on FT8, but
couldn't raise any.

Had limited time for this contest as our 9 year old grandkids arrived today
in Orlando as unaccompanied minors and we picked them up at the airport.  By
the time we got back, the storms didn't allow any more operating.

Subject: [TVARC] Looking for contact.
Message-ID: <CAOnB5T9Kp0WgjtrfZNT2HkaKPw7+tibCvKAAMrc2uxqA+FYHAg@mail.gmail.com>

One of my wife's friends has a ham friend looking to make contact with any
member of the TVARC. I am assuming this is a low band contact situation. I
don't have the equipment for this but maybe some of you others do. His name
is Roddy McComber KA1BSS, His email is rs_114 at yahoo.com.

Thanks

All,

The long awaited page for Field Day 2019 is now available for viewing. We only have 16 photos (that is all I received).

Here is a link: https://www.k4vrc.com/field-day-2019.html

And here is a way to get there from our main menu:

Hi, All!

There is no heart function issue but there is a fluid mass causing my chest pain.

My cardiologist's NP just told me that today...I'm getting an echocardiogram, a stress-test and they're putting me on a Lasix drip to drain the fluids quicker.

Other than that I'm okay! Whew!

If you are thinking about buying a K3S line, with amp and tuner and other extras, this looks like a pretty good deal.
I have no relationship with the seller.  Just passing this along.

Regarding FT8 and FT4 logging, check out the new JTAlert-X V2.14.0.  I
saw a post from VK3AMA (prime developer) that says it fully supports both
modes.  I haven't downloaded it yet so I don't have the details as to
whether they are readily separated.

I have been working FT4 and WSJT-x sends the stations worked to my logbook automatically. The mode is entered as FT4, so it?s easy to keep them separate. This works with both pieces of software I use for a log, HRD, and MacloggerDX.

I use AC Log works great, to check FT8 contacts hit the awards tab, set
mode to FT8, hit calculate it will only bring up FT8 contacts.   Check FT4
do the same.

DXKeeper in DXLabs also differentiates FT4 and FT8.  Separate filters
allow selecting FT4 or FT8 only.

Conditions were truly awful.  QSB made it difficult to complete QSOs with
weak signals, and 15 and 10 were completely dead.  I got to spend about four
hours off and on, usually early in the morning before the grandkids and XYL
woke up.  And who cares about working a bunch of islands anyway?!

The online FT4 manual from WSJT-X differs from the actual frequencies in use, at least on 40 and 20M.
Does anyone know of a source of FT4 frequencies other than WSJT-X??

Frank,

Here's the link I used to set up FT4.  The freqs in WSJT-X for FT4 are the same ones my radio goes to when I switch via CAT.

Frank,

My advice would be to use those frequencies you see spotted now.  They
are in a state of flux depending on whose net or favorite watering hole
gets stepped on.  Once all the hens get done spamming and quiet down, the
dust should settle.  Since FT4 is touted as a "contest" WSJT mode, useage
should be infrequent until FTx digital contests evolve.

As you can tell, I've never been a fan of whining in lieu of get over it
and move forward.

Hi folks,

When you install the latest version of WSJT
ver 2.1.0 (not rc7) it has all the suggested
frequencies preloaded. Switch mode to FT4
and then look at your "frequencies box" and
they should all be there. They change when
you change mode.

Incidentally, while it was designed as a contest
mode only, you will find a lot of stations using
it. Not a bad thing because since in using a
different frequency block, it is taking some of
the load off the regular FT-8 frequencies.

I'm going to try 60M tonite. 5.357MHz!

73,
John, NP2B

There has been some DX there but not a lot since it is not a DXCC band. 
I've been able to work them without much waiting since few people are on
the band - yet. 

73 de Ed

Ed et. al.

I was one of the 15 people licensed to operate 60M
before it was declared a ham band. Operated it
for 2 terms of the experimental license (4 years) My
call was WA2XSY-14 and I was the only one outside
of the U.S. The only thing we ever heard down there
was a station transmitting encrypted data, a few
fishermen and drug traffic. We had free reign from
5100 to 5450 - anything we wanted to do, just keep
it at 100 watts ERP or less.

It would have been a great digital band like 30M but
at the last moment Homeland Security came in and
nixed the deal.

Just tried it on FT-8, surprising amount of activity.
HA! How about that? A new band!!! Frequency is
5.357. The 20' flagpole and LDG remote autotuner
worked just fine!

Keep on clickin'
73,
J

I just snagged them on 3.503. Even with 500W it was a struggle.

CY9C, St. Paul Island is being spotted on 14195 SSB.  Except for a few hours
this past weekend, I haven't had the radio on since we've had the grandkids
staying with us (another week and a half to go!), so don't know what kind of
signal he's got into TV.

 

I worked them a bunch of times in 2016, so I'm guessing it shouldn't be too
hard to snag him.  Looking forward to working him on FTx though.

 

73, Pete, K2PS
