When you lower your flag this year, you will recognize the brave men and women who died protecting their communities from natural and man made emergencies and disasters and those who carry on the proud tradition.


On October 16, 2001, President George W. Bush approved legislation requiring the American flag to be lowered to half-staff on all Federal buildings to memorialize fallen firefighters.  <https://starsandstripesdaily.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9140fe44960d8a67cfb3ff869&id=a02c0335bd&e=c88b5514fc> Public Law 107-51 requires this action to occur annually in conjunction with observance of the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service.

A Proclamation on Fire Prevention Week, 2021


During Fire Prevention Week, we honor our brave firefighters and first responders who risk their lives to protect us every day and reaffirm the importance of fire safety and preparedness.  This week, I call on all Americans to educate themselves about fire prevention and safety and recommit to taking the necessary steps to prevent fires.  Whether you are in your own home or camping in one of America?s majestic National Parks, taking the proper precautions and safety measures can help prevent fires and save your life and the lives of your family and others while protecting our natural wonders. 

Already this year, more than 44,000 wildfires have burned nearly 5.3 million acres of our land ? an area roughly the size of the State of New Jersey.  These fires have destroyed homes and priceless memories.  They have forced families into shelters and filled the air with smoke for hundreds of miles.  Precious lives have been lost.  The fires have ground local economies to a halt, swallowed up family farms, and disrupted supply chains that fuel jobs, businesses, and communities all across the country.

These fires represent a code red for our Nation ? and we know that, unless we take bold action to address climate change, they will only continue to gain in frequency and ferocity.  Scientists have warned us for years that extreme weather will only get more extreme, and today we are living it in real time.  Extreme weather, including wildfires, cost America $99 billion last year; unfortunately, we are poised to break that record this year.

That is why my Administration is committed to taking on the threat of climate change and investing in America?s resilience.  We have proposed investing billions of dollars to strengthen our wildfire preparedness, resilience, and response.  These investments will not just save lives and homes ? they will also save industries and create new jobs.  When I think about climate change, I always think about the millions of good-paying, union jobs we can create ? but we also need to think about all of the jobs and industries we stand to lose if we fail to act boldly enough.  The evidence is overwhelming that every dollar we invest in our resilience saves us six dollars down the road, when the next fire does not spread as widely and homes and businesses are spared.

Our response to this threat starts with our brave firefighters, who put their lives on the line every day.  To better support the wildland firefighters who serve our Nation so courageously, my Administration is committed to making sure that we have enough firefighters on call who are trained, equipped, and ready to respond.  That is why I took action this summer to ensure that all of our Federal firefighters will earn a minimum of $15 an hour.  My Administration has increased wildland firefighter pay through bonuses and retention pay, extended seasonal firefighter employment to ensure robust response throughout the fire season, deployed new fire detection and air monitoring technologies, invoked the Defense Production Act to increase the supply of equipment, and brought additional aircraft and personnel to bear from both the Department of Defense and our partner nations.  

During Fire Prevention Week, I call on all Americans to educate themselves about fire safety, take the appropriate precautions when encountering fires, and honor our courageous firefighters, volunteers, and first responders.  I also encourage everyone to install and maintain smoke alarms in their homes ? critical elements of fire safety that have helped significantly decrease United States home fire death rates over the past 40 years.  By testing alarms every month and replacing them every 10 years, we can be better prepared to respond quickly to fires and prevent tragic loss of life. 

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 3 through October 9, 2021, as Fire Prevention Week.  On Sunday, October 3, 2021, in accordance with Public Law 107-51, the flag of the United States will be flown at half-staff at all Federal office buildings in honor of the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service.  I call on all Americans to participate in this observance with appropriate programs and activities and by renewing their efforts to prevent fires and their tragic consequences.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-one, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-sixth.

JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.

About Fire Prevention Week


Since 1922, the NFPA has sponsored the public observance of Fire Prevention Week. In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed Fire Prevention Week a national observance, making it the longest-running public health observance in our country. During Fire Prevention Week, children, adults, and teachers learn how to stay safe in case of a fire. Firefighters provide lifesaving public education in an effort to drastically decrease casualties caused by fires.

Fire Prevention Week is observed each year during the week of October 9th in commemoration of the Great Chicago Fire, which began on October 8, 1871, and caused devastating damage. This horrific conflagration killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures, and burned more than 2,000 acres of land.

Just got a shipment of QSLs from my W2 Buro, and was really surprised by how
many there were.  I thought folks weren't QSLing much these days, what with
LoTW and ClubLog.  Guess I was mistaken.  Reminds me of the old days at
Frankford Radio Club meetings, where Jesse Bieberman, W3KT, who ran the W3
Buro, handed out big stacks of cards to those in attendance.

 

Anyway, thought I'd go through them and get a count by country:

Croatia            3

Bahamas         1

Germany         89(!)

Spain               13

Canary Isl        1

France             11

England           3

Hungary          1

Switzerland     2

Italy                 8

Japan               68(!)

Ogasawara      2

Guam              1

Luxembourg    1

Lithuania         1

Finland            1

Czech Rep       4

Slovakia           1

Belgium           5

Denmark         1

Netherlands    4

Brazil               1

Slovenia           5

Sweden            5

Poland             7

Russia              4

Canada            2

Albania            1

South Africa    1

 

SWLs                5

 

VP2MPS from 2015     1

VP2MPS from 2019     8

C6A/K2PS from 1999  1

 

Total of 260 cards, all unsolicited.

 

Now I have to answer them L.

Wow, that?s really incredible Pete.  Now you have a big job ahead answering them all.  Coincidentally, the W3 Buro sent me a batch yesterday.  I?ve already responded ? all 12 of them.  :-)

Subject: [TVARC] RTTY contest this weekend
Message-ID: <61607733.1c69fb81.4b73.fed4@mx.google.com>

This is a weird one. No multipliers like in most contests, but the points for each QSO is based on a point per kilometer between each station (based on the 4 digit maidenhead grid locations).

There is also a 1.5x band multiplier for 40meter contacts and a 2x multiplier for 80meters.

Here is a worked example between CM87 and EL49:
Distance (from formula): 3084.2234824787 Km, rounds down to 3084 points.
Score:
20/15/10:  3084
40: 4626
80: 6168

There is a special case or exception to the point per kilometer rule: If both stations are located in the same grid square, then both stations ? regardless of the band ? get 100 points for this QSO. Do NOT apply a band factor to the 100 point score!

 

Wow, I can see some hefty scoring. Should be fun.

Here is a link to the rules: https://www.pl259.org/makrothen/makrothen-rules/

Here is a link to the contest calendar: https://www.contestcalendar.com/weeklycont.php#12147

 

Happy contesting.

My thanks to George, K2DM, and Bob K3ZGA, who supplied most of the contacts.
136 QSO's
 24 contacts with TKA stations
total 7741 points

Only 95 logs have been turned in so far, so we will have to wait and see
where we end up.

We did earn our Tx3 level, on the way to Tx8 and Senator.
We are 97 QSO's short for the Triple Key Award (TKA).

Next weekend sprintathon is November 13th and 14th.

TVARC contesters,
Who is interested in operating from The Land in the CQWW DX SSB contest at the end of October? So far W3US, K3ZGA and I are in. You can operate as little or as much as you like - we will have two stations running.
The contest starts at 8:00PM on Friday October 29th and runs for 48 hours. Enjoy working 40, 80 and 160m at night and 20, 15 and hopefully 10m during the day. Feel free to bring your own Heil or similar headset.
Let me know if you are seriously interested, and when you would like to operate. I will set up a schedule soon.
YOU MUST BE FULLY VACCINATED AGAINST COVID-19 TO PARTICIPATE!
73,
George K2DM

Well, another fun RTTY contest. Just S&P this weekend; didn't have too much
time to play. This contest had no multipliers; however, based on the
exchange of the Maidenhead Grid location (first 4 characters), the points
per QSO are calculated as 1 point per kilometer distance between the 2
stations. This made for some really high point totals per QSO.

Next up, next week is the (Japan) JARTS WW RTTY contest.

Subject: [TVARC] J5HKT & 3DA0RU Tangled Up on FT8
Message-ID: <AABSYKWRRA3E6PCS@smtpout03.vgs.untd.com>

These two dxpeditions have everyone scrambling to get an ATNO for FT8.  A
few nights ago, J5HKT was spotted on 40 working in the fox/hound (F/H)
mode.  At the same time, 3DA0RU showed up on the same frequency in what I
thought was also F/H. I started with J5HKT who was a lot stronger but
after a number of tries I switched over the 3DA0RU and his weak signal. 
Both stations exhibited the usual two slot fox transmissions with 3DA0RU
being about 1000 Hz higher in frequency which I thought unusual.  With
his signal in and out, I switched back to J5HKT to try my luck again. 
After a few tries I see that I get called by "<...>" which I figured was
3DA0RU.  I frantically went back to calling 3DA0RU while running F/H
mode.  He called me again and my rig automatically jumped to several
hundred Hz below him, just like the program is supposed to do.  A third
call from him and I forced my xmit frequency to his and finally worked
him.  (I did get J5HKT a few minutes later.)

When I checked the 3DA0RU website I saw their notice that they would NOT
be using F/H mode.  It appears they are using a variant of WSJT-X called
MSHV (no idea what it stands for) that allows a station to run multiple
xmit slots while the calling stations can stay where they are, much like
traditional CW and SSB pileups.  Not a bad idea if it catches on as long
as the DX stations have more that 3 kHz separation, hi.

Subject: [TVARC] Problem with WSJT-X v2.5.0 not decoding and logging 3DA0RU
Message-ID: <BN8PR10MB3652AC524DDF49F56D8C55E0DEB79@BN8PR10MB3652.namprd10.prod.outlook.com>

I am having a problem with WSJT-X v2.5.0 not decoding and logging 3DA0RU FT8 contacts.  I am using normal mode (not F/H).  I have made contacts with 3DA0RU on 4 bands and received RR73 on each, but no luck logging the contact.

The MSHV multiple slot software seems to create a lot of confusion along with 3DA0 being a non-standard call sign.  I have successfully worked and logged S90K who was using the MSHV software in multi-slot mode; however, when I worked S90K, I was using WSJT-x v2.3.1.  I have thought about re-installing the older version of WSJT-X and trying again.  However, 3DA0RU does not allow duplicates and after 4 contacts on 4 different bands, I am running out of bands on which to contact them.

If you have successfully logged contacts with 3DA0RU, please help.  (version of WSJT-X?  F/H?  any suggestions?)  There are 2 new DX expeditions from 3DA0 coming up within days, so I would like to get this problem resolved.

Thanks,
Don WB4CKI


The following is a post from the 3DA0RU team in DX World:

"The team work in MSHV at normal fashion, not F/ H, as WSJT does not want to accept our callsign. This was confirmed by the author of the program and could not help. And the absence of the Internet does not allow automatic time synchronization, but team are working on it."

	Tool
Message-ID: <26C5957D-936A-4D67-B4EC-332693B0BC15@icloud.com>

Hi Members of TVARC?s MailList (especially you DX-chasers and propagation scientists):

Recently, while re-setting up my station (hardware and software), I realized I had mis-placed some bookmarks for my favorite propagation predictions tools.  So, of course, I did a ?Dr. Goggle? (internet) search and EUREKA I re-discovered the ?VOACAP Online? tool.  It?s a gem and you can access for FREE via this link:

VOACAP Propagation Prediction Tool Online for Ham Radio [FREEBIE!]:
https://www.voacap.com/hf/ <https://www.voacap.com/hf/>

Here?s some helpful ?hype? about that VOACAP tool:
https://offgridham.com/2018/04/propagation-calculator/ <https://offgridham.com/2018/04/propagation-calculator/>

Apparently, there?s even an article/book in the ?Dummies? series about VOACAP:
https://www.dummies.com/programming/ham-radio/predicting-propagation-in-ham-radio-with-voacap-online/ <https://www.dummies.com/programming/ham-radio/predicting-propagation-in-ham-radio-with-voacap-online/>


Stay safe from COVID-19 ? ??

We would urge you to come to the meeting in

person because the "zoom" integration is still

being worked out

Although Covid-19 infections and hospitalizations have fallen considerably in recent weeks, there are still members who are not yet comfortable with indoor in-person meetings and get togethers.We respect everyone's decisions in this regard, and for this reason we are going to continue to broadcast our meetings using Zoom as we have done for the last many months.?

In addition to his illustrious career in professional?baseball, Joe is also a long time amateur radio operator.? His call sign is NK7U.?

> General Colin Powell was a patriot of unmatched honor and dignity.  The son of immigrants, born in New York City, raised in Harlem and the South Bronx, a graduate of the City College of New York, he rose to the highest ranks of the United States military and to advise four Presidents.  He believed in the promise of America because he lived it.  And he devoted much of his life to making that promise a reality for so many others.  He embodied the highest ideals of both warrior and diplomat.  He led with his personal commitment to the democratic values that make our country strong.  He repeatedly broke racial barriers, blazing a trail for others to follow, and was committed throughout his life to investing in the next generation of leadership.  Colin Powell was a good man who I was proud to call my friend, and he will be remembered in history as one of our great Americans.
> 
> As a mark of respect for General Powell and his life of service to our Nation, I hereby order, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset on October 22, 2021.  I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.

Well folks the Russian team that had a Dxpedition from 3DAO (Eswatini) is
now operating from 7P8 (Lesotho)...  I just worked them on 12m FT8 F/H.. I
also tried to work them on 15m cw, but not sure if he got my call correct.
I'll try that again before they leave. 10 days to get another new one if
you need it..

Good Luck

Message-ID: <A46616D1-55C1-4020-B9A6-3EB26295F35C@comcast.net>

At the meeting Thursday evening, a few club members expressed interest in coming to my contest station in Wildwood next weekend to watch the CQWWSSB DX contest in action, and perhaps to learn how to make a contact or two. As a result, I am offering a couple of time periods for those interested to do just that. I will be there to mentor you and show you the ropes.
The first time period will be between 8:00PM and 10:00PM on Friday evening the 29th, and the second will be between 9:00AM  and Noon on Saturday the 30th.
Please let me know in advance if you are interested. If no one signs up, there won?t be any school.
73,
George K2DM

Clubmates,

I picked up this used radio thinking I would try D-Star, but that ain't
happening.  So, if anyone in the club wants it, you can have it for $225.
It comes with my personal guarantee that I will refund your money if it
doesn't work as it should.  If I don't get an offer by Thursday, I will list
in on Ebay for a starting price of $300.

The radio comes with a DC power cord with power pole connectors on the power
supply side, a cable to remote the control head and an original Instruction
Manual.  I bought a new cord for the microphone.  Nothing else is included.
This is a dual band radio, 2M and 440MHz.

Let me know if you are interested.

73,

George K2DM

Ah.. but you left out one important thing:

The wife's (most spouses; apologies where indicated) lament:
"Dear, If you drop over dead, what am I going to do with all this shit???"

Best answer: "Our local ham club has agreed to take it"

Worst answer: "I don't care; I'm going to be dead". (No spouse points on that one).. :-)

Well, my wife says that the very first thing she?s gonna throw out when I keel over is my QSL card collection ? boxes and boxes of ?em; my logging program says I confirmed (not LoTW) over 26,000.  So I guess she?ll get her spare bedrooms back J.

Ah.. but you left out one important thing: 

  

The wife's (most spouses; apologies where indicated) lament: 

"Dear, If you drop over dead, what am I going to do with all this shit???" 

  

Best answer: "Our local ham club has agreed to take it" 

  

Worst answer: "I don't care; I'm going to be dead". (No spouse points on that one).. :-)

Subject: [TVARC] FT8 QRN
Message-ID: <009401d7ce5b$f0add970$d2098c50$@com>

Just this morning for the first time, I noticed some strange QRN on the WSJT
waterfall.  The same thing is seen on all bands, both antennas.  I show the
10M waterfall here, with little activity on the band:

 



 

Here's 20M and a bunch of signals:

 



 

Note also, the nearly total lack of signals in between the noise bands.

 

Could this be an artifact of the reported solar flare?  Or am I seeing some
new RFI issue?

 

73, Pete, K2PS

Pete, I don?t see any of the QRN that you have there. 
I recall having a similar problem (but not exactly). Traced it to a faulty street light near my house.
Good luck getting to the issue.

Thanks, guys.  A new important detail: seems that those bars don?t move when the frequency changes, so that would seem to rule out external causes.  Listening (with real ears!) on SSB, I don?t detect anything unusual.   I could live with the visual distortion I see for signals within the offending ?bars,? but I see NO signals between about 1450 and 1650 FT8 offsets ? on any band, as you can see below on a packed 15M band.  The bars themselves run from about 900-1300, and 1800-2200.  All WSJT modes show the same thing.  I?ve rebooted everything, BTW, and no change.

Brilliant!!!!  Not sure how it got turned on, but yes indeed, the notch filter got set.

 

Thanks so much, Al!

That?s interesting Pete. Does the waterfall on the rig show the same anomaly?

Glad you got it resolved. Will add that to my file of ?things I did to mess up my station?.  The list is already long but I made room for more!!
