I am reading "The Innovators" by Walter Isaacson which talks about the
development of the computer starting in the 1600's. Here is a picture of the
first transistor developed by Bell Labs.

Hi John,
Thanks for sharing this. The first few years of my work career were spent at Bell Labs in Holmdel, NJ. The facility had a water tower that was intentionally shaped like a transistor.

Good morning,

 

There was an issue with the ARRL Log submission site for the IARU HF
Championship log submissions that affected logs that were submitted from
roughly 0000 UTC Sunday, July 10 until 2000 UTC on July 10.  The system
generated a confirmation email stating that the log was accepted, but the
log was not saved in our system.

 

Please check the logs received page at
https://contests.arrl.org/logsreceived.php (make sure that the 2022 IARU HF
World Championship is selected from the drop down list) to verify if your
log is on the list.  If the log is not listed, please email the Cabrillo log
file directly to me so that I can submit the log on your behalf.

 

ARRL apologizes for any inconvenience that this may have caused.

Hi, 

I believe the form you want to get the okay for your flagpole installation is ?The Villages Architectural Review Application Form.?  If so, you can get it using these webpages (URLs):

Great job George. I ran assisted and that really helped my score with the multipliers I was able to find.Wind storm last week broke my 160 feed line at the top plus broke both legs in their middle. Not wanting to miss 160, I decided to try disconnecting the feed line to my 80/40 antenna where it enters the house, shorted the feedline coax connector, and fed the whole thing as a long wire. SWR was 8:1, but Flex 6400 tuned it great and I made 14 contacts/11 multipliers in 19 minutes from Ontario through Indiana into Texas and the rest closer. Worth the effort.Marty and I do cause a lot of interference between our stations so I couldn't run when she was operating unless I was on my Hy-Gain 640 vertical. She voluntarily limited her time to 5 hours, so I did have some good runs. We each need a complete set of bandpass filters and some work to minimize our interference. That is in our plan. Multi-band non-resonate antennas do have their issues.73,Wayne, N4FPOcala,FLSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

I had to fill out the ARC form that Tony cited.  I think it has a
restriction of 22 feet in height but don't fret if you need to go a foot
or so above that.  If they do any checking, it's likely to be visual.  I
have a 6BTV vertical inside a PVC flagpole.  It has a wire from the 80
meter coil that sticks out the top and no problems with the Village
Vigilantes, hi.

Had a funeral and a trivia contest I was committed to go to, so only was
able to spend 6 hours.  But bands were decent yesterday, and I was able to
run 'em most of the time.  Realized after the contest that I should have
switched to the Assisted category since, for team scoring, there's no
penalty for using spots.  That certainly would have boosted my meager
multiplier total.  Happy to work a few KH6, one KL7, and VY0ERC in NU
section.  Some DX too - ZF, KP4, KP2, and TI (twice) for the NA mults, and
some Europeans as well.

Monitored contestonline, and K2DM was going gangbusters when I finally got
to the radio Saturday afternnon.  George was #1 in the country SO-All LP CW
early on!  Also, teammate (Goooo TVARC #2!) N4FP was putting up a nice
score, as was N4GL.

Worked a few TVARCers: AD4J (twice), K1LTJ, WB2ART, K1CTR, and W2TR (twice).
Thanks guys!  Never heard K2DM, N4FP, N4GL, ND4G, W3US, or ND8L.

Sure was nice to see activity on CW after the major contests months ago. 
I planned to work 10 hours but XYL had other plans so I managed about 6
hours.  Mostly S&P operation since I found I could work a better rate
than running. I had registered for the contestonline reporting but I did
not make it past third base on getting it set up.  Anyway, lots of fun
with everyone limited to 100 watts or less.

I didn't expect much with QRP and an indoor AlexLoop, but had fun. Highlights included working a few DX stations, club members, old friends, and more stations than anticipated (including KP2) on 40 with a very small, indoor antenna. I did have to move my AlexLoop to the hot garage to get K2DM on 20 meters.

I enjoyed being part of an NAQP team for the first time in almost 20 years. Thanks to George for organizing this.

Club Members,

Here is my submission for the NAQP-CW


Comments:
FLEX 6600M (100w) -> MFJ-998RT (remote tuner) -> 20' Flagpole (stealth vertical).
Software -> Win11, N1MM+, WSJT-X.
All S&P, taking lots of little breaks here and there. Overall, had lots of fun.
Thanks for the local contacts with George/K2DM, Wayne/N4FP, and a friend from South Florida (Bob/N4BP)

Thanks George for coordinating the team competition. It was interesting watching ContestOnline and seeing you pounding away, and Pete/K2PS with his late start, climbing up from the bottom, to up near the top towards the end.

Message-ID: <69D5BCA4-EC86-4641-AA4C-4F00B29B9526@gmail.com>

Hi, maybe one or more of you have done this. If so, I don?t want to ?re-invent the wheel?.

I have a SuperAntenna. I?ve made a hole from my lanai to the back yard for the temporary use of coax to the antenna. I have plugs for the holes that fit perfectly and they are virtually invisible from the inside and the outside. 

I need to make a hole through my interior home wall / then the cinder block to the lanai, in order to complete the process for operating indoors (certainly preferable). BTW my rig is easily set up as a portable.

Has anyone done this?:  Drilled thru the walls, maybe used PVC, and capped and painted it so it is virtually invisible from the inside of the home and on the lanai (when radio not in use).  If you?ve done this or if you did this another way please comment to me.
            Thank you.
Ken Peters - KO4OAT

Subject: [TVARC] Meteor Scatter Contest
Message-ID: <002c01d8ae29$a8636cd0$f92a4670$@gmail.com>

Starting today is an interesting event, held specifically this weekend in
order to capture the VHF propagation possibilities due to The Perseids, an
annual meteor shower taking place right now (along with two other minor
showers).

 

I have no idea whether we'll have any success making meteor scatter QSOs,
but it may fun giving it a try.  And it shouldn't be too difficult.  Simply
fire up WSJT, set it to 6 or 2M, change the mode to MSK144, and give it a
try.  WSJT was originally designed to make meteor scatter QSOs, due to the
short duration of meteor trails (from which our RF signals reflect).  The
computer can make the QSO much more efficiently and quickly than two
operators on CW or SSB.

 

The contest starts at 11a Friday, and runs through 11a Sunday.  Here's the
website: https://kv5w.com/2022/07/24/na-meteor-scatter-sprint-digital-rules/

 

We're not supposed to include non-Meteor scatter QSOs, but I'm not sure how
to know which are not.  My experience with MSK144 is limited.  If anyone has
some input on that, please chime in.

 

And let us know if you've had any success!

 

73, Pete, 2PS

6.25 Hours Operating Time

Thanks to K2DM for allowing me to use the second station at The Land last
weekend.

The station worked flawlessly and we had very, very few interference
issues...except one time when we wound up on the same band...and even then,
not all that bad.

Did a lot of search and lurch...couldn't seem to get a run going anywhere.

George turned me onto OnLine Reporting via N1MM, which was both a blessing
and a curse.  I got off to a slow start, although my first contact was on
10 meters with KH6LC. By the time I looked at the On-Line results, K2DM and
N4FP were putting on a CW clinic and YIKES! ...  the FNG from Ohio was
getting his butt kicked good and proper.

Later in the afternoon, I started gaining ground on N4FP and started
feeling quite good about myself ... until I realized he must have taken a
break.  Then he QRV'd and the asswhoopin' continued.

This is why one should play golf with people who play better than you
do..what doesn't kill you makes  you stronger.

Great time...I would have spent more time on the air, but had an
O-dark-thirty flight out of MCO back to Ohio.

Damn job!

Hope to see y'all next weekend for NAQP-SSB.

The annual Worked All Europe CW contest.  Either you love it, or you hate it.  This is the only contest that I am aware where contestants exchange blocks of QSO information, called QTCs.  On the plus side, QTCs enable stations to effectively double their score.  Non-Europeans send time/call/serial of stations worked (up to ten) while Europeans log the exchange.  Clearly, Europe does the heavy lifting.  Scores over 1M are not uncommon.  Band conditions were pretty decent, better on Sunday than Saturday.  We even got to run a bit.  I am really happy for WAE this weekend, as the MDC QSO Party was a bust with only six stations worked.  For those wishing to try their luck, WAE SSB is in September and WAE RTTY in November.  Contest on!

Good job, Rusty.  Haven't played in that one for quite awhile, but did enjoy
it back then.  And congrats on getting credit for all those QTCs.  Not sure
I'd want to be on the EU end.

Subject: [TVARC] Meeting announcement and ZOOM invitation
Message-ID: <061301d8b192$2c6d1ec0$85475c40$@comcast.net>

TVARC members,

 

Our regularly scheduled club meeting will be this Thursday, August 18th, at
the Eisenhower Regional Recreation Center.  We will begin at 6:00 PM with 45
minutes of chit-chat, beverages and cookies.  The business meeting will
begin promptly at 6:45 PM.

 

Last month we experimented with a simplified Zoom configuration during the
club meeting, and it worked fairly well.  We will try Zoom again this month,
and we hope to have worked out the bugs.  The link to the Zoom is attached
below.

 

NOTE:  I want to set expectations for the Zoom aspect of this meeting.  We
will have one camera.  It will face towards the front of the meeting room,
and it will show whatever happens to be in its field of view.  However, MOST
of the time we will be sharing presentation slides on the Zoom link, so the
camera will be inactive.  We will be using our audio mixer, so we anticipate
that Zoom attendees will be able to hear BOTH audio generated within the
meeting room and audio coming over the Zoom from our outside presenters.
You MAY NOT be able to hear everything that goes on within the meeting room.
This most likely will occur as the microphone gets passed around to new
members and members having birthdays/anniversaries.  But you SHOULD be able
to see all of the slides, and you SHOULD be able to hear the officers'
presentations and the presentation of our program speakers.  If not, we will
try to do better next time.

 

The Zoom will open at 6:30.  Here is the Zoom invitation with the link:

 

George Briggs is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Hello Members,

I decided to pull some coax out of the attic, possibly as a repurposing project here at the shack.
One of my low-loss runs happens to be hardline, identified as EUPEN ?? Hiflex (EC4-50-HF, 50 OHMS, 5092-HLFR).

If anyone that?s had some experience using ? Hardline, I?d like to know what I?m in for pertaining connector installation (?) ?and of course that?s if, I can find any N Connectors available.
I?m familiar with Ecoflex 15 and Massi & Paoloni Hyperflex 13 type of connectors.
This hardline may come in handy for 23cm, which currently sits unconnected on both of my transceivers.

If you have any feedback, please fill free to reply directly to my email, some member may not be interested in hardline headaches or happiness ?.

   Thanks,
   Stan, W5PDQ

Hi Stan -

I'll do a Reply All in case someone else is interested ...

Looks like RF Parts at rfparts.com has the Eupen 1/2" hardline connectors
in several formats N-F, N-M, BNC, etc, just be sitting down when you see
the prices (!).  They say the Eupen connectors are interchangeable with
Andrew & Commscope so no issues on installing them.

If you want to see how the Andrew connectors go together, I have 1 of the
Andrew L44N N-Female new but not in box and 1 L44AW N-Male new in plastic,
you are welcome to stop by & and see how they go on to the cable if you
like.

Regards,

Hello Larry,

Yes, the price for each connector is unbelievable; I did purchase some out of the EU this afternoon much lower than RF Parts even after the shipping cost.
If it?s Okay, I?ll give you a ring tomorrow to check your schedule, I would like to see the Andrew?s (similar type) of connector.

  Thanks,
   Stan, W5PDQ

We bought a house in Toledo today. My wife is very ecstatic plus her sister
lives in Ann Arbor. She is suffering initial onset of Dementia and is very
insecure. Also, our daughter lives a couple blocks away.

I had a chance to spend most of the past weekend on the air so I opted to
tackle this one.  Set up was a snap since N1MM+ and WSJT-X play together
nicely.  As expected, lot of activity on FT4 vs FT8 since it is faster. 
Not as much DX as I would have liked for more points/QSO.

Unrelated to this, I just saw several emails that the solar flux is a
whopping 252, over 100 points above a day ago.  Checking the WWV numbers
verifies this is indeed the case.  Such a huge jump so quickly could mean
a lot of solar vomit messing up the measurement systems, hi.  Hope it
holds for a while though so we can work the far east with our PW stations
on the high bands.

Here are my totals for WWDIGI:

      Band   Mode  QSOs     Pts  Mlt  Pt/Q
           7    FT4      42          58    6   1.4
           7    FT8      29          55   15   1.9
          14   FT4      43          49   12   1.1
          14   FT8      40          85   14   2.1
          21   FT4      28          52   13   1.9
          21   FT8       7           15    7    2.1

       Total  Both   189        314   67   1.7

        Time operating: 9.6 hours

Nice totals Ed. Here are mine.
As Ed said, N1MM+ and WSJT-X play very well together. Should make a for 
a good presentation one day, HI.
I also noticed the SFI jumping way the heck up compared to a few days 
ago. That said, there is a lot of CME (Coronal Mass Ejections) going on, 
and some are generating solar flares that are Earth directed. It will 
cause havoc and I noticed the hi-bands (10, 12, and 15 meters) very 
quiet today with only a sprinkling of activity instead of what would be 
hoped for or expected.
Here are my totals for this past weekend. Thanks to Ed for 3 of my Qs.
A mix of S&P, and running.
I had one run on 40 meters at 0109z for an 18 minute period logging 12 
Qs (FT8).
Switching over to FT4, I had a nice run starting at 0156z for 40 
minutes, logging 35 Qs.
Then over to 80 Meters (FT8), @0250z for 15 minutes, logging 7 Qs
Operating Time (hrs): 10.4 Hours
Comments:
Nice to see 10 meters open even if for a little while.
FLEX 6600M (100w) -> MFJ-998RT (remote tuner) -> 20' Flagpole (stealth vertical).
Software -> Win11, SmartSDR, N1MM+, WSJT-X.

Message-ID: <CABxhT4Ejb73r4KbXZQw1TL87NTnvUkPD29TFFfMABsKHqoFSSg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi folks,

We have a piece of equipment that has a
battery compartment made out of cast
aluminum. Like most devices that are not
used very often, the battery was ignored
and leaked.

It is an alkyne battery. Does anyone know
of anything that dissolves or breaks down
this kind of corrosion so we can at least get
the battery out and this thing cleaned it up?

(good reason to remove batteries from
infrequently used pieces of equipment
like antenna analyzers and such)

Since it is an alkaline battery, white
vinegar wins out with lemon juice coming

The SKCC September Weekend Sprintathon will be held 9/10 (1200z) - 9-11
(0000z).
This is a cw only event, using a straight key,  bug,  or sideswiper
(cootie). You can work from home,  and you get to use the club callsign
K4VRC. You do not have to be an SKCC member,  since you use the club SKCC
number 24637. The exchange is RST TV/club 24637.
If you are interested please contact me directly at WB2ART at gmail.com.
Remember,  we can only have one transmitted signal per band in any time
slot. We should probably set up 2 hour time slots,  but any amount of time
you can operate will be appreciated.
Tnx es 73

Duh!  Why didn't I think of that!  I was going to suggest a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda(which I always used to clean a corroded cell holder).  But of course, what part of alkaline don't I understand?
Wikipedia says:  The alkaline battery gets its name because it has an alkaline<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali> electrolyte of potassium hydroxide<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_hydroxide> (KOH) instead of the acidic ammonium chloride<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_chloride> (NH4Cl) or zinc chloride<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_chloride> (ZnCl2) electrolyte of the zinc?carbon batteries.
Guess we are not too old to learn new tricks!

vinegar wins out with lemon juice coming
in second. I don't know why I didn't think
of it!

Subject: [TVARC] Computer monitor breaking radio squelch
Message-ID: <BN8PR15MB3377860A30F01CEC7C0B7DD0D3789@BN8PR15MB3377.namprd15.prod.outlook.com>

I rearranged my radio bench to add a 2nd computer monitor and all is well expect when I turn on the 2nd monitor it keeps breaking the squelch on my VHF/UHF radio (Yaesu FTM-7250).  It seems to be only on UHF and not all channels but is prevalent on 443.225 which is the frequency I monitor most often.  Even turning up the squelch from 2 to 5 (of 8) does not help.  The radio does not have a ground lug.  Any suggestions on how to isolate the radio from the monitor noise?  They are physically close to each other but I do not have space on the bench to relocate it to another convenient location.

Thanks,
Rich
