Subject: [TVARC] Maui Wildfire Disaster - Ham Radio Involvement
Message-ID: <EE866483-24EE-4FA8-A3C5-D52428F931C4@icloud.com>

Hi Members of TVARC?s MailList (especially those interested in emergency communications),

Here are some links (webpages/URLs) regarding amateur radio?s involvement in the ongoing wildfire disaster on Maui (part of the Hawaiian Islands):

Maui Disaster Ham Radio Updates:

	https://amrron.com/2023/08/10/maui-disaster-ham-radio-updates/
	
		Hawaii emergency HF frequency 7.088 MHz (40 meters)
		
		[K4QR/Tony: Yes, 7.088 MHz sounds like a strange (odd-ball) frequency to use but see the ARRL's
		"US Amateur Radio Bands" color graphic (revised 9/22/2017), at this URL:
		http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Regulatory/Band%20Chart/Band%20Chart%208_5%20X%2011%20Color.pdf]
		
Maui SDR radio:

http://mauisdr.com:8901/

Here?s an interesting, critical, and thought provoking discussion about ham radio?s role (or non-existent role) in today?s emergencies:

Thread?s title: "Where's the ARRL's vaunted EMCOMM?"

https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/wheres-the-arrls-vaunted-emcomm.461718/

Some of the above references came from my participation in today?s SATERN Net (Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network); other came from some quick searches of the Internet (using Google).  For more information on SATERN, see this link:

Tony/K4QR

WOW what a read that Radio Reference URL is.
Lots of negative discussion about ARRL, ARES and amateur radio operators
volunteering for emergency communications.
Thanks for sharing, now I know how things have changed since 2010.

Hi Rich -

No direct AL-1500 experience but have worked a fair amount on Kenwood
TL-922, Yaesu FL-2100B and
Henry 2K Classic floor unit models.  Willing to lend a hand, if he still
needs an assist?

Larry,

I would contact the guy directly to see if he still needs any additional 
help, but I would say from the overwhelming response, he got the help he 
was looking for.

Kudo's to all on the reflector that responded. This guy was not even a 
ham or a member of our club. I can imagine the response we get if it was 
for one of our own. And I can speak from experience since I put out a 
call for help for myself only a month or so ago.

73,

Rich Erlichman, ND4G

Subject: [TVARC] Halloween Antenna?
Message-ID: <CAEgDeRT8_aXGkJqfDkk0XR=QJVJwZjQLJtsTejYTSODoFcAwCQ@mail.gmail.com>

We were at the new BJ?s store in Lady Lake yesterday and I spotted the
following 15 foot blow-up Halloween ghost figure on one of the Halloween
display shelves across from the cash registers.

I began thinking hmmmmm? could this be ?repurposed? to hold a dual-band
Halloween Stealth Antenna?

?        Run a #16 wire about 11 ft. long vertically up the back with tape,
install a copper ground rod and feed with a RG8X coax for use as a stealth
vertical 15-meter antenna and ?............

?        Run a #16 wire dipole about 113-inch across the arms and
center-feed with RG58 coax for a 6-meter dipole



Problems ?.

?        Could only be used in October

?        Could NOT get the $100+ approval from my ?domestic management?.
She thought it would be ?tacky? for some odd reason!



Oh well, another Rube Goldberg stealth antenna bites the dust!



73, Bob

Hello all,

 

I am looking to buy a piece of aluminum sheet 1/8 inch thick, 12 x 36 inch
in size to mount some vhf/uhf/shf verticals on in my attic.

The stuff at Home Depot and Lowes is actually a laminate of plastic between
two thin aluminum layers so that is a last resort. 

 

Does anyone know of a place around here that sells sheet aluminum or even
scrap aluminum?

I have used aluminum foil on a board successfully for this purpose many times. At those frequencies, the skin effect eliminates the need to have much thickness to get an effective ground plane.

I have used a 14 inch pizza/round baking sheet for my mag mount 2m/70cm
antenna.
Worked well inside near window.
I got the pan at dollar tree.

Subject: [TVARC] Bird Model 43 Wattmeter for sale
Message-ID: <454E0E03-C124-455B-BB96-08C323A150BF@comcast.net>

This Bird wattmeter comes from the estate of a silent key friend of my brother. It comes with a 2500W slug for 2-30 MHz and a 25W slug for 50-125 MHz. Note that there is a crack in the meter glass. Otherwise this is a beautiful unit. One connect is UHF, the other is N (with an N to UHF adapter). The price is $200 to the first TVARC member who responds.
As always, with anything I sell, I guarantee it.
73,
George K2DM

Congrats to George, K2DM for a FB score in the 2023 ARRL DX Contest - CW, in
the single op QRP category.  I know he's probably not thrilled with his
second-place finish, but he was beaten by a top-notch op, W1FJ, who has a
QTH (MA) much closer to the EU mother lode of QSOs than us here in FL.  And
George didn't lose by much, either, 925k to 874k, with third place at 497k.
You'll get him next year!

 

My effort as a 10m single op HP entry put me 6th in the World.  No cigar
here either.

 

Anyone else have some contest results to report?

 

73, Pete, K2PS

Howdy all -

Looking to rent or borrow a video projector with HDMI input for training
sessions during the Classic Thunderbird Club 2023 National Convention, to
be held here in The Villages the last week of October.

As an option, might also consider purchasing a pre-owned unit in good
working condition, that someone no longer has a use for.

Thanks in advance,

Well, that was a fun contest.
I had at one point a nice rate going for a 60 minute period logging 35 
Qs. Not too shabby for combination of FT4, and FT8 (on a single stream 
for you new F/H advocates). The first 9 Qs were FT8 on 40 meters, and 
then I switched modes to FT4 and was pleasantly surprised with all the 
activity. The kicker was having the other receiver (SO2R) watching 20 
meters for anything rare and new multiplier). I picked up a VA7 (only a 
2 pointer but a new multiplier), and 3 minutes later a ZL3 (5 points 
plus a multiplier) on 20 meters, with 3 FT4 Qs on 40 meters in between.
Some other highlights were working our friend from Illinois, Val/NV9L on 
3 bands, and Cyprus 5B4AMM also on 3 bands.

73,
Rich, ND4G

Subject: [TVARC] Flagpole Wind Load
Message-ID: <013901d9d921$8759ae90$960d0bb0$@kd9my.com>

Hello all,

I finally got my 6BTV installed this week and disguised as a flag pole
(2-1/2" pvc).

Ground plane is a combination of radials and 45 sq ft of ground screen
bonded to an 8' driven ground rod at the base.

Preliminary testing shows good results on FT8.

 

My question is:

Do others lower the antenna/flagpole when high winds are predicted?  If so,
what speed?

The whole thing does move around a little with the wind.

I used the DX Engineering tilt over base so, it won't be  hard to fold over
if needed.

 

Thanks,

Rick KD9MY

You answered part of your own question with the tilt-over base. Makes 
for it being very easy to lower it to the ground and due to the severity 
of any given storm you can either leave flat on the ground, or 
disassemble it and secure it in your garage.
I use the NOAA warnings as a guideline for taking it down or leaving it 
up. If you have a "Tropical Storm" (>75 mph) or worse coming towards 
you, I would secure it in the garage. The last two storms that even came 
close to our area, were not close enough for me to take mine down.
I did have a windstorm in our area this past June and I was away at the 
time. Sure enough Murphy's Law played its part, and caused my Cobweb to 
come down below the tiltover section. My own fault for not using a 
strong enough lower mast section from the ground. My flagpole/antenna 
made it with no issues.
Having had a 6BTV years ago, and knowing the rigidity (or lack of) in 
the PVC, I would watch out for winds greater that 50 mph.

Good going, Rich.  I didn't have the time to get into it, but I do have a
question for you - I know the exchange called for grid squares, but how did
u handle the frequent case where callers don't give it?

Well, that was a fun contest.
I had at one point a nice rate going for a 60 minute period logging 35 Qs.
Not too shabby for combination of FT4, and FT8 (on a single stream for you
new F/H advocates). The first 9 Qs were FT8 on 40 meters, and then I
switched modes to FT4 and was pleasantly surprised with all the activity.
The kicker was having the other receiver (SO2R) watching 20 meters for
anything rare and new multiplier). I picked up a VA7 (only a
2 pointer but a new multiplier), and 3 minutes later a ZL3 (5 points plus a
multiplier) on 20 meters, with 3 FT4 Qs on 40 meters in between.
Some other highlights were working our friend from Illinois, Val/NV9L on
3 bands, and Cyprus 5B4AMM also on 3 bands.

Rick,

As of Sunday evening which is when I am
writing this, the storm is inching it's way
closer. I'll know tomorrow morning if we
will pull ours down. Since you have that
DX Engineering tilt over base, I would do
it. Remember you can put it back up very
easily but it would be more of a pain in the
butt to replace it. Another thing to consider
is not so much the wind, but the stuff that
may fly into it.

Pull it down!

73,
John, NP2B

Great question Rick!  I?ve had my 6-BTV/flagpole up for about three years now, and yes it does sway a bit in the wind.  I usually lower my flag (yes, I do fly one) when winds are over 12-15MPH.  I recommend a nylon flag as it places less stress on the flagpole.  As for using the tilt - I?ve only lowered mine when under a hurricane warning, such as Ian last year.  The tilt base makes it easy to lower the antenna whenever you feel comfortable doing so.

Good luck, and welcome to the 6-BTV family!

Rick,

By all means, lower the antenna.  I also have a 6BTV with the DX
Engineering tiltbase.  I lowered it when Irma came through for peace of
mind.  Not long after, I suffered a bent support of the antenna mount when
a microburst suddenly came through in a storm.  A neighbor had a palm tree
snap off.

BTW, 2 1/2 inch PVC sounds too narrow to accommodate the 80 meter coil at
the top.

This handheld FM transceiver is somewhat unique. It is the model KG-UV3D, which, if you Google it shows up as a 2M + 440MHz duo band HT. Only in the fine print of the instruction manual could I find the 2M + 220 MHz version.
This radio is actually fairly expensive new, but I am dumping inventory, so I am asking $25 for it. A copy of the manual is included.
As usual, I will take it back if you are not satisfied. First email gets it.

I accidentally pressed the test button on one of the arc fault circuit breakers and the breaker tripped, as it should.  I am now unable to reset it.

 Eaton breakers are notorious for not holding up long. They are super easy to replace - HD or Lowes has them for $15

You may be missing a not so obvious point.
After pressing the "TEST" function verifying that the breaker is 
working, you need to actually flip the breaker switch completely to the 
"OFF" position. Then, and ONLY then you will be able to turn it back 
"ON".
In other words, there is a middle state for the (AFCI) breaker switches.
I believe it works the same way for the more standard GFI type circuit 
breakers, BTW.
Any circuit breaker with a "TEST" switch.

Rich, ND4G

I would like to go to HamCation, but we only have one car and I must leave it with the XYL. If there is anyone carpooling, I will share expenses. Joe K9TUW

Interesting story about Eaton Breakers.  Around 2015ish they discovered their breakers were highly susceptible to RF signals.  With ARRL?s help they redesigned the breakers and warrantied the old breakers. I know this from living in a house that had those breakers and receiving new ones from Eaton at no charge.  Eaton is still warranting those breakers today.  Link to the article.  ARRL Helps Manufacturer to Resolve Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter RFI Problems <http://www.arrl.org/news/arrl-helps-manufacturer-to-resolve-arc-fault-circuit-interrupter-rfi-problems> .

Message-ID: <098901d9dc19$3a419550$aec4bff0$@comcast.net>

Clubmates,

This little amplifier was donated to TVARC, and was available on the "back
table" at the last club meeting.  Here's your last chance to buy it for next
to nothing.

It covers 3-30 MHz, handles AM, FM, CW and SSB, runs on 13.8 VDC at 14-20
amps and can put out about 100W.  It cost $88 new.  You can buy it here for
$10 to the club.

As always, I will take it back if it doesn't work.

This can be a nice addition to your QRP rig.  I'd be interested to see how
it works.

So, the first $10 gets it.  Or make an offer in case no one buys it for $10.

73,

George K2DM
