Sorry I missed the past few meetings - vacation cruise, family reunion, and
even a funeral.  But there's so much DX going on right now, I would feel
remiss if I didn't alert and maybe encourage some of you to get out there
and work some of them!

 

T22T Tuvalu in the South Pacific (as in "skip, skip, skip to my Tuvalu") -
these guys have been active on all bands since 9/21, and they should be very
easy to work by now on FT8.  But if you miss this one, T2C is coming up in a
couple of weeks; I feel bad for those guys since T2 will no longer be quite
so rare.

 

VK9LAA Lord Howe Island off the east coast of Australia - two very good US
ops, but better get 'em quick since they're wrapping up tomorrow.  I've seen
them on CW and FT8.

 

A22EW Botswana in southern Africa - active right now on 12M FT8

 

ZD9W Tristan da Cunha south Atlantic, last land before Antarctica - single
good op with many concurrent FT8 signals.  End date looks to be 10/22.

 

W8S Swains Isl in the South Pacific - this one hasn't started up quite yet
(10/4 is predicted) but will be a huge operation with 6 stations and many
ops.  Should be quite workable but the early pileups will be big.

 

Have fun!

I've got to agree w/Pete about there being a lot
of DX on, especially on FT8. FT8 is one place
where you can really compete and boost your
DXCC totals. And it's all because you can get
thru with a marginal signal. (i.e. Villages tolerated
antennas!) If you haven't tried it, I would really
encourage you to do so.

It's addictive!

John, NP2B

Message-ID: <CAOo==4wCFL_RamYwUdt5DMzX4m5a_5Zc6u+cx4hifXEw8SYVrg@mail.gmail.com>

ED Efchak WX2R from the NNJ section is asking section officials and editors
for help publicizing the Solar Eclipse QSO Party
<https://www.hamsci.org/eclipse> on October 14th. I know TVARC has a lot of
members who enjoy the technical challenge!

*The HamSCI Festivals of Eclipse Ionospheric Science will occur October 14,
2023 and April 8, 2024 during spectacular North American solar eclipses.*

The Festivals will consist of multiple events, each with a goal
of increasing our understanding of sun-ionosphere-earth relationships.

Participants will include volunteer amateur radio operators, short wave
listeners and science researchers from multiple US universities.

*?** HamSCI FoEIS Contests **(Non-WARC Bands, 6-160 meters)*

   - The Solar Eclipse QSO Party (SEQP) using CW, FT4/8, SSB and other
   digital modes
   - The Gladstone Signal Spotting Challenge (GSSC) using CW, WSPR and
   FST4W modes
   - The *HamSCI FoEIS Contest Info Page* <https://hamsci.org/contest-info> has
   all of the details

*?** HamSCI FoEIS Research Events (40, 75 and 160 meters)*

   - *TDOA (Time Delay of Arrival) Event*
   <http://hamsci.org/tdoa-event-2023> - The Use of Time Delay of Arrival
   (TDOA) Measurements to Profile Ionospheric Layer Height Changes During
   Solar Eclipses

*?** Grape Personal Space Weather Station* *(Monitoring WWV, WWVH, CHU)*

   - Using the *Grape 1 and Grape 2 Low-IF receivers*
   <https://www.hamsci.org/grape/> to measure Doppler Effects on the
   Reception of WWV and CHU (this is a long term experiment - monitoring and
   data gathering has research value on a 24/7/365 basis - beginning
   anytime before and continuing long after the eclipses)

FYI - ISO Certified glasses, safe for watching the eclipse, are available from Amazon in different-sized packs.  

I have a 10-pack of Soluna glasses ($2 each).  The Astronomy Club has a 50-pack for their 'Eclipse Party' at Homestead Rec. Center.

Hi Members of TVARC?s MailList,

My signal has been outstanding for several weeks now as I?ve been making DX contacts like crazy on all the HF bands WITHOUT having to fiddle with my external antenna tuner.  The SWR has been nearly 1:1 for all my recent QSOs using FT8 mode.

So, earlier today (Friday the thirteenth of October 2023), I decided to investigate more closely why my signal has been so potent lately.  When I visually inspected the base of the flagpole antenna (adjacent to the external tuner), I was surprised to discover the ?cause? of my excellent ?SWR?!  See the attached photos to share in my surprise discovery that SWR doesn?t always stand for standing wave ratio. ?









Spoiler Alert (read only if the attached photos didn?t already give away the punch line). So, SWR can mean standing wave ratio; but, it can also mean other things (like ?snake wiggling ratio?)!??

Seriously, this points out why should always look carefully and thoroughly BEFORE reaching your hand down to connect up your feed line to the tuner (especially if there?s dense foliage or other materials in the way of a clear field of vision).  Apparently, according to a contractor (house power washed today), my snake squatter is a harmless rat snake BUT do NOT take my uneducated word on this (as I need to use these photos to adequately identify this crawling critter usung the internet?s resources).

73,

Subject: [TVARC] Question for those using Ham Radio Deluxe for logging
Message-ID: <CAFund+SrZyMCUbkqJsa-TV9c0LdjJXuPcKtQnDNb6YrSHSFdTg@mail.gmail.com>

I use Ham Radio Deluxe (latest version) and the incorporated logbook
function.  I am not having issues per se with the logbook but finding it
unusual that when I log W8S (Swains Is) it is not depicted on the DX
Cluster spots in logbook.  It does show W8S on the spots but after I log
contacts with W8S the C B and M columns remain red X's.

HRD logbook does not prevent me from logging my contacts but the Spots
function which tracks my logged contacts does not function with W8S.  In
the DX Cluster function I use WA9PIE-2 as the spot source.

I realize this message is a bit "geeky" but it is the best way to explain
what is happening.  Yes, I can contact HRD Support but thought I would
check with TVARC users of HRD with the logbook function before venturing
into the wilderness.

See attached screen shot.  Notice the lines for W8S.  I already have
contacts with W8S so it should be showing yellow triangles in those
columns.  My suspicion is that it has something to do with the special
callsign W8S.  You will notice that W8S Swains Is has (KH8/s) noted.  I
suspect that is what is causing the issue.

Anyway, just throwing it out for those using my setup.

Thanks, Steve Roth AD4K

I am putting up a Homemade vertical antenna.  I have been watching youtube videos and reading articles on the correct way to do it.  I have watched and read so much is has become confusing.   Can anyone recommend the correct way or an electrician that can do it for me?

To those who replied to my email about Antenna Grounding.

I had planned on attending the meeting tonight but will not be able to attend.

But maybe someone can give me some more advice.

I am finally getting approval for my Greyline Flagpole antenna.

Is there someone that I can hire to make sure it is installed up to code?

With the KS4EOC repeater temporarily off-line, the Sumter County ARES Net,
along with the Sumter EmComm Net, were being held on the KI4DYE repeater.
As you are aware, the effective range of that repeater in Bushnell is
significantly less which unfortunately makes it difficult for some of our
members to access that repeater by RF. 

To accommodate more of our ARES members and the amateur radio public, Gene
King, President of the Hog County Amateur Radio Association, invited Sumter
County ARES to conduct its RF Net on their 147.030 MHz repeater.  Therefore,
the Sumter County ARES monthly RF Net will now be conducted on the K4HOG
147.030 MHz (+ Offset, PL 123.0 Mz) Repeater beginning with its Net this
Thursday, October 26th.  

 

Please join Net Control Operator Jeff Taffuri, KO4NCC, this Thursday at 7:30
PM ET, during which we will hear from a guest speaker.

 

Respectfully,

 

Mark Newby, KX4LEO
Emergency Coordinator

Sumter County ARES

Well, it?s an adventure. Yesterday I flew to Antigua and spent the night there. This morning my flight to Montserrat was delayed over an hour due to an engine not starting. After finally getting here after noon, I started setting up the radio. I couldn?t even see if it turned on, because the power went out on the island. There is only a slight chance that I will get on the air at all today.

 Well, it?s an adventure. Yesterday I flew to Antigua and spent the night there. This morning my flight to Montserrat was delayed over an hour due to an engine not starting. After finally getting here after noon, I started setting up the radio. I couldn?t even see if it turned on, because the power went out on the island. There is only a slight chance that I will get on the air at all today.

I?ve been on the ground here for 24 hours. The TH6 beam has taken longer to repair/refurbish than I thought. As of now, I have the boom mounted on the tower, and 5 of the 6 elements are mounted on the boom. I have about 2 hours of work left on it before I can even test it.
Thus, I?m still not on the air yet. But I will get there!

Well, I finally got everything ready this afternoon and took a nap.
I started the contest on 40m, but it was a slog. So I went to 20m and started cranking. Two hours into it and I have 273 contacts. But the only TVARC contact was with K2DM - Ray operating from The Land.
I look forward to working many more club members.
Back to work now.

Looks like conditions should be good for the
contest this w/e. Saw where Pete worked
George at about 5AM, I worked him shortly
thereafter.

There is a code of ethics in working DX which
wasn't being adhered to by some of those
trying to work George. I have to admire George's
"stick to it ofness." When that happened to me
when we were down in the VI, I simply just QSYed
or QRTed. I just didn't have the patience to put
up with it.

Good luck George!

73 all,
John, NP2B

Message-ID: <4BCEF0E6-B44C-4D4C-9371-014EAFB76929@comcast.net>

Some of you have asked me what band/frequency I am going to be on and when. I honestly don?t know. I chase the maximum rate, changing bands as appropriate.
One thing you should know, however, is that my frequency privileges here on Montserrat allow me to operate on frequencies that are outside the SSB frequencies that US stations are allowed to use. I can do this on 40, 20 and 15M. This is where the European stations go to avoid the US QRM. I get more points for working EU stations than I do for working US stations.  
The best thing to do is to check a dx spotting website to see where I have been spotted.
I really do want to work you - just not now. But as NP2B says, ?soon come?.
BTW, here is my view right now.
73,
George VP2MDM

Good morning...

Does anybody own a metal detector that I could borrow for one day?

I need to try to find the iron pins marking the property line between
 my home and my neighbor's.  One of us is very confused...and I
 don't want to spend $750 on a surveyor for enlightenment.

Please reply off list or call / text me at 330-720-5185.

Thanks!
