Major hit by Murphy:  My Flex-6600M would not open.  Had to use my POTA
station's Icom 7300 without connection to my logging program.  So
everything was done manually including spinning the big knob to QSY.  I now
appreciate WriteLog and N1MM more than ever.



Wait ?til next year.

Ten meters is a blast...at least when the solar cycle is in our favor.  And
it is!

Not sure if conditions were as good as last year, as I made about 400 fewer
QSOs this time around, but the band opened strong to Europe both days, and I
had loads of fun running 'em.  Had the rate meter up above 200 quite a few
times, peaking at 269.  At that rate, if no one calls after a CQ, it drops
pretty quickly.

Asia was a bit slow, especially on Friday and Saturday night, but on Sunday
things perked up, and was able to call CQ and have JA stations come back at
a steady, although slow, rate.  Of course, nothing like the Europeans.

Was really happy about the DX country total, with 115 (compared with last
year's 97).

I did have my four-element yagi up about 33 feet on a pushup mast, sitting
on top of my old faithful Ham IV rotator, and that, along with the 500W put
out by the KPA500, let me break any pileup.  It was like old times up in New
Jersey.

Looking forward to the ARRL 10M Contest in two weeks.  I would love to keep
the antenna in the air, but prudently I take it down, lest we encourage HOA
issues.  I'll get it back up in a week and a half.  It's all very much worth
it!  Thanks to Tom, K3WT, for his assistance raising the yagi.  Makes it
much easier to do.

Always fun to do this one. Conditions perked up just in time and have since
rocketed higher. I got a late start Friday night and saw that 40 was going
great. I switched to 80 but nodded off too early to rack them up. The
subsequent night things changed and 40 was not too good and 80 much worse.
I think improved conditions for the upper bands shortchanged the low ones.

I put in about 15 hours all together. Here are my totals:

 Band     QSOs     Pts   ZN  Cty  Pt/Q
         3.5      22      54    8   21   2.5

Message-ID: <CAF_HoPWow1YJ1Xr7OaDPy_Gqin8e_kzjQ8BO3BV2aE5sKwb08w@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Fellow Club Members:

My name is Greg Weisheipl (KA9WPG). I hope this message finds you all well.
I wanted to take a moment to share some exciting news: I?ve just released
my first song (Back on Liberty Road), a Country Rock song and I would be
honored if you would give it a listen and share this email to others who
might be interested in Country Rock music.

The track is available on *Spotify*, but for those who don?t use Spotify,
I?ve also made it accessible on *Amazon Music* and *YouTube*. To make it
easy, I?ve included a business card with QR codes on the link below that
directly links to either Spotify or Amazon Music. I am also on Apple Music.

This release is just the beginning. I have several more songs in the
pipeline, each rooted in cultural themes and storytelling that reflect the
values and traditions we hold dear. Releases are scheduled about every two
weeks for the next three months, then monthly after that. My goal is to
create music that resonates with listeners and sparks reflection on our
shared American experience by Changing Culture Through Music.

I would be grateful if you could take a few minutes to listen, and if you
enjoy it, consider sharing it with others in your circle. Every stream
helps build momentum for future releases and keeps this cultural
conversation alive through music.

Thank you for your time and for all you do to support patriotic values in
our community. I look forward to sharing more with you soon.

Warm regards, Greg Weisheipl

Well, CQWW CW is behind us for another year, and what a fun contest it was.  BIC time was severely limited (or should have been) due to the need to walk/exercise the new knee.  I made the mistake of getting carried away on 40M Saturday morning and could barely move when the band closed out.  :-(

Conditions were great, with wall-to-wall activity from 10M thru 40M.  The 6-BTV played especially well on 40 and 20, which accounted for the bulk of contacts.  That said, it did surprisingly well on 15.  80M was another issue, and not a good one.  I have a known problem with RF in the shack when running QRO on 80.  If I keep the power under 600W all is well, but you know ? THIS IS A CONTEST.  I am operating remote, and excessive RF knocks out the Internet at the radio end, which cascades into a series of screen freezes, restarts, and reboots.  In short, lost time.

Although the QSO count wasn?t particularly high, it is all about multipliers, which was my focus, garnering 390 in all.  When there was no red or green on the current bandmap, I?d move to another band.

A shout out to fellow club mates who participated, ND8L, K3WT, K2TE, and of course Pete, K2PS who really rocked it with his 4-el 10 meter yagi.

Until next year,
Rusty - W3US

Hello All

Please join Faith (N4FMO) tonight, at @7pm for the weekly TVARC Rag Chew Net on the 443.225 Repeater.  The repeater has a PL tone of 103.5 Hz.

If you haven?t joined the net before, this is the perfect night to check in. Trade stories and information with fellow club members during this Holiday Season! 

If you are out of town, or your rig is not operational, use EchoLink on your phone, K4VRC!

Message-ID: <CAFund+QzLU0LbbZE_L76J15=YasC0-g97b87fhma-HcJstFXCg@mail.gmail.com>

Recently I got notified of an update of one of the PC apps that I use and
thought it might be useful to someone.  I am a snowbird and have two PC's
that I take back/forth - one for Ham and one for personal use.  Here in The
Villages both PC's are located on one physical desktop with no room for two
monitor screens but in Virginia I have them in separate rooms.  Thus, only
needing one screen here in Florida.

At first I used a free app but I had many issues with it.  I upgraded to a
paid (cheap) app called "Synergy" that makes it easy to use two PC's and
one screen with the ability to instantly switch the screen from one PC to
the other.  The Synergy app is well supported with frequent updates.  It
works flawlessly.

Subject: [TVARC] ARRL 10M Contest This Weekend
Message-ID: <008101dc6a01$ae535280$0af9f780$@gmail.com>

My favorite contest, and one tailored to TVARCs typically meager stations.
Pretty easy to cut a 10M dipole and throw it between a couple of bushes.
The whole antenna is about 16 feet or so.  And the good part is you can work
anyone, anywhere.  Choose your mode (CW/SSB, or Mixed - no FT8), exchange
59(9) <state> with US and Canada (DX will send you a serial number).  Also
recently, Mexico which sends a three-character state abbreviation.
HP/LP/QRP.  You also get to sleep at night when the band is closed!

 

Conditions look terrific!  Right now the solar flux index is 183 with a
fairly low A index of 5.  10 meters will be hoppin'!

 

Also, don't forget to set your contest program to connect to
https://contestonlinescore.com/.  This will communicate with your logging
program, and report your real-time scores.  It's always fun to watch our
club members pile up their numbers.  Go to that site and register, if you
have not already done so, and enter your club as The Villages Amateur Radio
Club.  To set it up in N1MM+, go to Config>Configure Ports,.>Score
Reporting. Check the boxes on the left, and enter server name of
https://contestonlinescore.com/post/.  During the contest you'll be able to
see everyone's scores, either by class (LP/HP, etc), or by club, and watch
them change every few minutes.

 

After the contest, be sure to mark your club as The Villages Amateur Radio
Club, and report your estimated scores to 3830scores.com.  I'll use that to
compile them for the club and report during our next meeting.

 

73, and GL

Here is additional incentive to make as many contacts as you can in this
contest:  ARRL has a Club Competition for most of its contests, including
this one.  TVARC has actually WON the competition for small clubs (defined
as submitting 10 or fewer entries).  In 2024, I created a list of club
members who were eligible to submit scores for the Club and who met other
eligibility requirements.  Today I reupped that list,

and I am attaching it here.  If you are not on the list, and you want to
submit a score on behalf of TVARC, let me know ASAP, and I will re-submit
the list.  Then all you have to do is operate in the contest,

make a bunch of contacts, and declare your club as The Villages Amateur
Radio Club on your log submission.

Also, here is a link to the Club Competition rules.  ClubComp-Rules.pdf
<https://contests.arrl.org/ContestRules/ClubComp-Rules.pdf> 

Good luck!

Alert regarding US-1909 - Oscar Scherer State Park - in Osprey, FL. The 
local radio club has been advised that the staff at Oscar Scherer is now 
rigorously enforcing the Florida State Park regulations prohibiting use 
of any antenna ropes, wires, etc. in trees or any stakes in the ground. 
These rules apply to all Florida State Parks but are unevenly enforced. 
The reported justification is that there is a pair of Bald Eagles 
nesting somewhere in the park.

Here is my small contribution to the TVARC ARRL 10M entry.  Sorry I could only spend seven hours BIC, but hope to spend longer in the next contest.

Condx Friday, opening night, were superb, with 10M not closing out until after 2200 local.  Thankfully, I was able to get some runs going as I chased after Pete.

Congrats to Pete for another amazing effort.  Thanks also to Ray - ND8L, Pete - K2PS, Tim - AA6DQ, and Paul - KM4PIH for the contest QSOs.

73,

Good morning...

Class:  Single Op / High Power / Assisted / Limited Antenna*

*Ultimamax DXtreme 53' at approximately 23 Feet.

Rig:  Elecraft K4D + KPA500 Amp + KAT500 Tuner

CW 170 QSO's  / 49 States & Provinces / 51 Countries
PH  110 QSO's  / 32 States & Provinces / 31 Countries

Score:  146,700

Club:  TVARC

When they were good, conditions were good...surprisingly
 Sunday morning at O-dark-30...all I heard were birdies.

Got better during the day both days...but life intervened
 and was only able to put in 7.5 hours.  That being said,
 picked up four new countries for my DXCC total:
 OY, OH0, 9J and FY.

Congrats, in advance to K2PS on an excellent score.  When I
 heard him...Pete was rockin'!  I got him (and W3US) on the
 first call.  :)

As far as I know, it is a catered event. You might want to BYOB as they usually have a very limited selection of drinks.

I operated SSB only. Spent several hours on Saturday and Sunday.  I found conditions best on Saturday  and Sunday AM for working Europe with some QSB off and on. After that, mainly South America and the Islands.

My numbers are not impressive, but it was my first major contest. First time using N1MM on my own. Great program and so easy to upload scores to ARRL in Cabrillo format. The only way to go.

Used my IC7300 with my Buddipole near our pond in the backyard which blew over a few times. Great fun.

Here are my small numbers.Its just the beginning!

I want to thank you guys so much for talking up enthusiastically the ten 
meter contest! My wife (also a ham) and I moved to the Villages more 
than a year ago and my procrastination prevented me from raising an 
antenna. Well, at the most recent QCWA meeting I got some useful ideas 
and rigged a dipole in the atttic over the garage, co-opting a 
pre-existing RG-6 that runs from my shack to the garage area. On the air 
again!

I have never been a big contester, but I enjoyed to operating again, 
used N1MM, decoded the Morse using my meat-based decoder (many operators 
out there are pretty fast!)? Surprisingly, I got more answers to my CW 
than on phone. Here's the N1MM score for AB3SX:

Callsign: AB3SX

As is usual for me, I spent a tiny amount of time playing radio. Without 
a doubt, this is a fun contest. I hope some of our newly minted 
Technicians were able to get involved.

Since I am a Linux-kinda guy, I don't use N1MM. However, I do use 
Not1MM. As the developer puts it, "Not1MM's interface is a blatant 
ripoff of N1MM." It works nicely.

All SSB contacts: 19 QSOs (38 pts), 14 states & provinces, 3 DXCC 
entities for a grand total of 646.

Had a nice chat with Rusty, W3US.

See you at the Holiday Party!

Paul. KM4PIH

I love that I was able to work so many TVARCers: K2DM, AA6DQ, W4GD, AB3SX,
W3US, AD4K, ND8L, AD4MO, K6UMO, NK7U, and WB2ART.  Looks as if, from reports
I've seen so far, I only missed K2TE and KM4PIH.  Thanks for the points,
everyone!

Conditions started out fantastically Friday night with a huge stateside
opening.  Usually the contest has propagation to the Pacific and maybe Japan
at this time, and there were a few of those that I worked, but then I heard
George, K2DM, calling CQ, and worked him; then I figured I'd try calling CQ
myself.  Glad I did!  By the time the band closed up at about 1030p (the
contest started at 7), I had 328 QSOs in the log.  Wow.  I had high hopes
for the rest of the contest.

Saturday into Europe did not disappoint, although it opened somewhat later
than it had two weeks earlier in the CQ WW CW Contest.  Nonetheless, after
trying hard to get the European big guns to hear me, I finally found an open
frequency at 730a (local) and ran for about an hour on CW, then switched to
SSB to be sure to grab all those multipliers.  Europe was done by about
1030a, but was able to continue running to somewhere until about 130p - ran
on one mode until it started to peter out, then switched modes and did it
again.  Always tried to emphasize CW, since the point value of a CW contact
is twice that of SSB.  Kept watching the rate meter, and if the CW rate
dipped below about 60/hour, I'd try SSB.  And if SSB rate dropped below 100,
then back to CW.  The band pretty much closed up by 7P - no repeat of Friday
night, to be sure.

Finished at the midway point with 1018 QSOs, split 676 CW, 342 SSB.  

Sunday continued the decline in conditions, with Europe not opening for
running until 830a (an hour later), and with poorer results.  Best hour
resulted in only 44 QSOs, while Saturday topped out at 87.  The afternoon
did yield some better runs stateside, but ultimately the band weakened and
caused me to finally quit and hour and a half before the end of the contest
(my other excuse is that I wanted to watch the Eagles beat the Raiders,
which they did, 31-0)!

All in all, it was a successful contest - a hundred or so QSOs fewer than
the prior year, but with about 10 more mults.  Sadly took down the yagi
today, and stored it in the garage until ARRL DX CW in February.

I do think next year I'll turn on the amp.  Will probably need it with our
solar cycle on the decline.

Again, great turnout for TVARC, and I'll post the scores at our January
meeting!

Not having an antenna for 10 meters, I took up Pete's advice and threw up a dipole between a couple of hedges.  It was about 8 feet high I estimate.  For sure not ideal, but better than a wet noodle I suppose.

I only operated in CW mode. Here are the results:

My greatest frustration was not being able to work EA8ZS.  I must have wasted 15 minutes trying to get him. There was only a slight pileup.  I finally gave up and tuned up the band where I came across 7Q2T in Malawi.  He had a slightly larger pileup than EA8ZS, but I was able to work him on my first call. Go figure!

Overall, it was a fun time and I will try to have a better antenna for next year's event.  73 to all de John, W4GD

Congratulations on a fine effort, Pete!  Here?s an indication of just how good an operator Pete is:  for reasons I will document later, I only made 3 contacts in the contest. One of them was with Pete, who answered one of CQs. Go figure!

And congratulations to everyone who jumped into the contest and made contacts. I trust you all had fun.  I, on the other hand, did not. I spent over an hour reassembling my station since I had been using my desk to repair various radios for months. When I finally got N1MM talking to my radio, I found a clear CW frequency and called CQ.  Hooray, I got an answer, and my first contact was in the log. Then Pete answered my CQ. Yippee, I was off and running. I had beaten the odds by throwing my station together at the last minute and having it work. Just as I began to pat myself on the back, my transmitter locked up. Taking this as a sign, I went back to the living room to watch TV. Hey, maybe my rig is pissed at me for doing so much POTA.?

George,

I have always believed my machine are fully capable of throwing a fit!

Maybe it's more mad that it wants to do more POTA and not stay at home?

Congratulations on a fine effort, Pete!  Here?s an indication of just how good an operator Pete is:  for reasons I will document later, I only made 3 contacts in the contest. One of them was with Pete, who answered one of CQs. Go figure!

And congratulations to everyone who jumped into the contest and made contacts. I trust you all had fun.  I, on the other hand, did not. I spent over an hour reassembling my station since I had been using my desk to repair various radios for months. When I finally got N1MM talking to my radio, I found a clear CW frequency and called CQ.  Hooray, I got an answer, and my first contact was in the log. Then Pete answered my CQ. Yippee, I was off and running. I had beaten the odds by throwing my station together at the last minute and having it work. Just as I began to pat myself on the back, my transmitter locked up. Taking this as a sign, I went back to the living room to watch TV. Hey, maybe my rig is pissed at me for doing so much POTA.?
73,
George K2DM

Message-ID: <CAPuXCcxGnGuW=5xJQOQgWV0Afyy+_BPezVqiWK0L1Z77etiO_Q@mail.gmail.com>

Good day...

I hope this email finds you recovering from the Christmas,
 Hanukkah and/or Festivus Holiday Season.

Just a reminder that at the January 15th, 2026 TVARC Meeting,
 we will be celebrating the Club's 30th anniversary and our featured
 speaker will be Sumter County Sheriff Pat Breeden who will
 be celebrating the one-year anniversary of his swearing in.

For those you unable to attend the Christmas Party, this email is to
 inform you that in honor of our 30th Anniversary....we have worked
 with a graphic designer in Orlando, Taylor Plumblee, who is a ham
 (KI4GHK) and is also the owner of Orange Blossom Embroidery, along
 with her husband Chris Plumblee (W4WF).  Taylor's done a great job
 "refreshing" the TVARC logo and also designing a 30th Anniversary
 sleeve patch.

You can see the shirts (and place your order) on the K4VRC.com home page.

Taylor and Chris have worked out a great price for us on the shirts:
   Sizes Small-Extra Large (XL):  $38.99
   Sizes 2XL-5XL:  $42.99

This price includes Florida Sales Tax, the CheddarUp credit card fee and
Shipping!

However, this price includes a discount for orders of ten shirts or more,
which we already
 have taken.  If you wait to order a single shirt on your own, prices will
be $4.00 - $5.00 more
 per shirt...and you probably won't have the shirt by January 15th.

We are taking orders through December 31st at 3PM so that we can be sure
 of having your shirt in time for the January TVARC Meeting.

Place your order on the K4VRC.com home page.

I will have your shirt ready for pickup on Wednesday, January 14th at the
Moyer
 Recreation Center on Moyer Loop from 9:00 to 10:30 in the card room.

If you have any questions, please drop me an email.  (ND8L2828 at gmail.com)

*73 and Happy New Year,*
*Ray - ND8L*

We are accepting orders on the TVARC web site through
December 31st at 3:00PM.  The web link to the order screen is below.

Good Morning...

First of all, thanks for the great response on the TVARC
 30th anniversary shirts.  Last I checked, we had orders
 (and payments) for over 30 shirts!

Second of all, if you are going to procrastinate and order
 one later, here's the contact information for our supplier,
 OrangeBlossomEmbroidery.com

That's the Good News!

Here's the Bad News!

If you wait to order a single shirt, your prices will be
 higher than the current prices* and you won't
 have the shirt in time for the January meeting.

*Small to Extra Large:    $38.99 including tax and shipping
*Double Extra Large (2XL) & Up:  $42.99 including tax and shipping

Here's how to order:

https://tvarc-thirtieth-anniversary-shirt.cheddarup.com/

Please have your order submitted by 3PM today, December 31st
 to get the prices shown above.

Happy New Year!

*Thanks!*
*Ray *
