Subject: [TVARC] ARRL DX
Message-ID: <036101dc0317$da09aab0$8e1d0010$@gmail.com>

I'd been wondering why, since the ARRL DX CW scores had been published for
at least a month, the club scores had not.  Well, apparently, for ARRL DX,
the club scores for CW and SSB are combined.  So, ARRL had to wait until the
SSB scores had been fully documented. 

 

Anyway, turns out that The Villages Amateur Radio Club finished second in
the Local club category, with a total of 2,785,695 points.  We were eclipsed
by the Iowa DX and Contest Club, which had 3,276,102 points.  Had it been CW
only, we would have beaten them, but SSB is more of a struggle for us here
in TV.

 

Maybe next year?

 

73, Pete, K2PS

Arrows point to the little archipelago whose tips were the only part of
Florida above water long ago. Natural cycles. To think it is man-caused is
a conceit.

Weather permitting, I plan to activate the Finn Pond Wildlife Management Area in Jefferson, IA tomorrow morning.  It is 2 miles down the highway from our hotel, and it offers no facilities other than a small dirt parking area.
I plan to start operating at about 7:45 Eastern time using FT8 on 40M (7.074). After about 45 minutes, I will QSY to 20M.
I?ll be looking for you!
73,
George K2DM

What a morning! I left the hotel a little after 6AM in intermittent light rain for my 2-mile drive to the Finn Pond Wildlife Management Area. I set up in the trunk of the rental car, and everything was fine except that the ring connector on the counterpoise didn?t make connection with the base of the vertical antenna. The antenna tuned fine through the rig?s antenna tuner, but I probably lost a few dB on my signal.
So, enough whining. Here are some stats.  21 QSOs on 20M, net of two duplicates.  29 QSO?s on 40M, net of 2 duplicates.  The duplicates occurred because I was trying to move fast, so I didn?t always wait for the caller to confirm receipt of my RRR. My bad, but that?s how I made 50 contacts.
And here?s the really cool and gratifying part:  10 of my 50 Q?s were with TVARC members!  There were at least 3 additional members who didn?t make it into my log.
I would have operated longer, but I had a hard stop at 8:30. Plus it started raining again.
Oh, and the orange shirt - I was in a hunting area after all!
So, until next time,
73,
George K2DM/0

Message-ID: <2B324426-8EED-4B7E-BE5F-651D2232DE38@gmail.com>

Good Morning TVARCers:

There?s another club member besides George roaming the Midwest activating POTA sites.  I?m that member complementing George.  

I?m on a trip from Minneapolis to the southwest corner of Michigan near the border with Indiana for my grandson?s 5th birthday.

Early yesterday evening I activated Rock Cut State Park (US-1019) near Rockford, IL and managed to pry Pete, K2PS from viewing his beloved Eagles football game (thanks for the Q, Pete).

Condx were great! Worked 15 stations in a little more than half an hour with Western European pounding in on 20 CW (the original digital mode).

In about 3-4 hours I?ll be at Indiana Dunes State Park around 14.050 MHz CW.  In the next few days, I?ll be activating from MI, WI & MN.  if you get a chance, look for me.  I?ll post each activity as I?m starting to activate.  

I?m running 100W (Icom 7300) into a EFHW @ 31 ft.

73, Tom, K3WT

please share the following with them.*

students for the entry level *

*FCC Amateur Radio license (Technician Class) examination.  *

Hi,

Wondering if this has always been like this or something new. 

Wstj is prompting to log qso after the person I'm contacting sends db report.   

It continues after logging contact to RR73 then  73

Is this what it's supposed to do?   I could have sworn to prompted contact after 73.

Ladies and Gentlemen of TVARC...

A group of contesters got together and bought this ARRL commemorative brick
earlier this year to celebrate the life
 of John Ellis NP2B-SK.

This arrived by email today.

Should  you ever visit ARRL Headquarters in Newington, CT and want to stop
at the Diamond Club Terrace and remember John...
 the "address" of the brick is below.

73, Ray - ND8L


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Your support to the ARRL Diamond Club provided vital resources to support
ARRL?s programs and services for amateur radio, above what membership dues
alone would cover. In recognition for your generous gift, you opted to have
a brick placed in the ARRL Diamond Terrace. Since 2007, the Diamond Terrace
has honored the legacy of radio amateurs. Your brick has been placed among
these honored names and call signs.



Thank you again for your generous support and investing in the future of
amateur radio.




Best,

*Jill Stelmack, KC1VRH*

Development Associate

helping his camper. Scroll down and you'll find it.

Message-ID: <CAJMuB=pHAJNR=DB2vLFVgvO-jSSpU09Z32BPN4EdsUQiSM-ewQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hello Club Mates:

This weekend, I'm teaming with Bill, W0OR for a POTA-Expedition from
Minneapolis to Tomah, WI (and back).  We'll be activating some
seldom-activated POTA sites so this should be good for all you POTA
Hunters.  In fact one site has only been activated 5 times.

We'll be on CW (sorry no FT8 or Phone).  We'll QRS to your speed.

If for some reason the reflector strips off the attached schedule, just
look at pota.app under my call or Bill's for our planned operating times.

Hope to work some of you.

We're trying to get at least 10 QSOs but if that happens quickly, each op
will stay on the air at least 30 minutes.  If things are slow, each op will
operate the full hour.

Attached you will find the schedule both in Excel and PDF format.  Even if
you don't use Excel, you can view it on your phone.

Hope to work some of you.

73,

Tom Menas, K3WT

Is there a REV button?  Or alternatively try LSB instead of USB.  Not
familiar with that software.  I use MTTY.  Many tutorials on YouTube.

Message-ID: <93690A1B-0C58-41DB-9938-98985BC067B5@casa-aloha.net>

Attention club mates, especially those interested in working DX.  I copied the following from Frank Donovan?s daily HF forecast.  My personal experience this morning is that Frank is right on the money.  Happy DXing!

Rusty - W3US

Some of the best daytime and all night solar maximum propagation of
Solar Cycle 25 is likely to continue through at least the end of August
due to the very unusual conjunction of:
   - a very large growing sunspot, a large stable sunspot and 85 medium and small sunspots
 - no significant geoeffective coronal mass ejection activity,
 - no significant geoeffective coronal hole high speed stream activity,
 - persistent near background level solar wind speed, 
 - persistent near background level interplanetary magnetic field strength, and
 - persistent quiet geomagnetic conditions.

Hi

I have a icom 7300.  

It has begun to behave a little strange.  

I seem to lose the ability to transmit. 

Then I noticed that the RF power would go down to zero!    Nope.  Did not adjust.    I reset and it drops again.  

Antenna swr is good and has acceptable value.  

Anyone have an idea?

Kym,
I had a similar problem years ago, and I called manufacturer.  A reset fixed the problem.  It wipes all setting and restores to factory settings.   I seem to remember that there were 2 options, one which would also wipe out all memories.  Instructions should be buried in some obscure section of the radio manual.   73, Joe  AB3CR 301-580-3526

Hi

I have a icom 7300.

It has begun to behave a little strange.

I seem to lose the ability to transmit.

Then I noticed that the RF power would go down to zero!    Nope.  Did not adjust.    I reset and it drops again.

Antenna swr is good and has acceptable value.

Anyone have an idea?

Thank you everyone for your help.   

It was definitely a helpful education that will assist me when I run into problems again. 

I am embarrassed to say what exactly was the problem.  

As I am running new sdr software, it allows me  access to the rig via the software.   So it's very easy to change settings easily.  Things I normally would not touch because I don't have to cancel be mistakenly adjusted.  

That's exactly what happened.  One of the VFO settings got hit.   I thought I was operating on one, but really was on another.  

Lession learned!  

I got resolved.  Pskreporter is seeing both send and received signals.  Made contacts!

The universe is treating me kindly again.  Lol

Much to my dismay this was not end of trouble.   

Last night I tested fan about questioned if it was operating.   

To my dismay, it operates last night in house and saw it working. 

But after being outside, it said "nope.  Not gonna happen. " Thus, transmission started failing.      

Didn't realize it because the fan for power supply was on.  I literally had to look at back of machine to verify. 

I am currently waiting for fan from Amazon tomorrow and will install.   Unfortunately, the required fan is 80 mm and best buy only carries 120mm for today's computers. .

No fun for me today.  Was looking forward to the contest later today on digital.

Thank you, but it's the icom 7300's fan that has kicked bucket.

Power supply fan is very happy and strong. It was the problem I missed the 7300 fan not working.

Sigh.

Kym,  I have a number of fans salvaged from old computers. I just had a pacemaker installed, so I would be unable to come to you but you are welcome to stop by and see if one will be a right fit.  I live in Summerhill.  Joe AB3CR 301-580-3526

Much to my dismay this was not end of trouble.

Last night I tested fan about questioned if it was operating.

To my dismay, it operates last night in house and saw it working.

But after being outside, it said "nope.  Not gonna happen. " Thus, transmission started failing.

Didn't realize it because the fan for power supply was on.  I literally had to look at back of machine to verify.

I am currently waiting for fan from Amazon tomorrow and will install.   Unfortunately, the required fan is 80 mm and best buy only carries 120mm for today's computers. .

No fun for me today.  Was looking forward to the contest later today on digital.

Hi, 

Looking for someone to assist me in learning RTTY. 

Unlike FT8, the videos online and docs are a bit confusing   

I got my software set up.    But need help in understanding how to implement  and make successful qsos.  

Thanks for any help.

Lol. I found a video on my software.

Just by luck, I decided a psk message. No qso yet. But it gave me hope I might get rtty

I think I bought a clue on rtty.

I have two for better term bans. One labeled A and other B. I move independently. I'm guessing that this forms the pattern in picture. Although I have not figured out how yet.
