Message-ID: <CAGwanzS2P86Y4Qx=G64UE=h8_6QKptE-MBdPLCLU+H57N01UdQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi, All:

We are in immediate need for a VE team leader.  Prerequisites include an
Extra Class license, current VE status and good organizational skills.

I have asked privately, but no one has been willing or able to step up to
assume this important role in the club.  If we can not find a suitable and
willing candidate by this Sunday, I will have to cancel Tuesday's testing
session and subsequent sessions - indefinitely.

We have many positive things going on in the club.  I would be a shame to
have to eliminate one of them.

If you are interested and would like to know more, please contact me
directly - not through the list.  Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Cory Sickles
MWA President

Hi, All:

Good news - we have a VE Team Leader.  Jan, KX2A, has offered to coordinate
this important outreach of the club.  Jan held this position previously.

If you are a VE, please contact Jan to exchange contact information and let
him know your availability.

Best regards,

I have two committed VEs for the Tuesday test session.? I would 
appreciate one more commitment so we won't be outside the Red Cross 
building with guns and dogs hunting additional VEs.? As of this time, we 
will only be administering three Technician exams.

Subject: [W8MWA] Scripts for Nets
Message-ID: <CAFN8_47z=Z=Urnnbu+DHn66Sx9MyVWLTejZUpmogU_-rKiNRUQ@mail.gmail.com>

Fellow MWA'ers,

During last Tuesdays meeting there was some discussion regarding actually
documenting the scripts for the various simplex nets operated by the club.

This was actually done a few years ago when we were getting these nets off
the groupd and I have markdown versions available on github for the
following nets:

Mon County ARES Simplex Net:
https://github.com/jcsmith/MonCountyARESSimplexNet/blob/master/preamble.md

North Central WV 2 Meter Single Sideband Net:
https://github.com/jcsmith/NCWV2MeterSSBNet/blob/master/preamble.md

Additionally there is a script for the ARES Trafic and Training Net
available here:
https://github.com/jcsmith/MonCountyARESTrafficAndTraningNet/blob/master/preamble.md

If anyone sees anything that needs changed, either create a pull request on
GitHub if you are comfortable with that process or let me know and I'll
update them.

We should also probably make these more readily available on the club
website and in more easily printable versions.  I'll look into what our
best options are for that.  I'll also bring printouts of each of these to
the February club meeting.

Thanks,
--

Message-ID: <B3A7252B-5039-4B6A-BBBD-BBC705AD6ABE@gmail.com>

Hi all! 

As I stated at the last meeting WVUARC is hosting another tech in a day session on this Saturday, January 26th.

The actual class session will run from 10am until about 2pm with a break for lunch (Free Pizza!), with upgrade testing starting around 1:30pm. We?re asking VEs to show up around 1pm. As always the class is free for students and $10 for non-students with all testing free. We?ll be in rooms 135 & 137 of WVU?s Advanced Engineering Research Building.


Now the important part of this email: We need VEs!  

We currently have a couple of Extra VEs available for the event so we?ll be needing a few more.

 If you are available to VE please let me know by Friday afternoon. You can use my League email below or my WVU email (jchale at mix.wvu.edu <mailto:jchale at mix.wvu.edu> ).

If anyone still needs to sign up, here is a link <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeqwZSNvkk06_GMJO87pouxBQEw-gaGC5u6f_uj6BzyqCf0ww/viewform?usp=sf_link>!
If anyone has any questions please let me know.

Thanks!

Subject: [W8MWA] AM Rally is this weekend
Message-ID: <CACvhBuBCqHp1J5yiZE-_7ncQNoF5HSKuG+9FDUn6r=NtB_i3xg@mail.gmail.com>

I had a lot of fun last year doing this and actually made several AM
contacts!  PUSH THAT BUTTON ON YOUR RIG THAT SAYS AM!  See below...

The third annual *AM Rally* <http://www.amrally.com/> is just ahead. The
event, which aims to encourage the use of AM on 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, 10,
and 6 meters, gets under way at 0000 UTC on Saturday, February 2 (Friday,
February 1, in US time zones) and continues until 0700 UTC on Monday,
February 4.

The AM Rally is open to any radio amateurs running full-carrier amplitude
modulation using any type of radio equipment ? modern, vintage, tube,
solid-state, software-defined, military, boat anchor, broadcast, homebrew,
or commercial. Numerous transceivers in use today offer AM capability. A
lot of hams enjoy restoring and using vintage Amateur Radio equipment.
The *event
website* <http://www.amrally.com/> has complete AM Rally details, contact
information, award categories, logging, and tips on how to get the most out
of your station equipment in AM mode.

*Contact* <n1bcg at internetwork.com> Clark Burgard, N1BCG, for more
information.

The event is sponsored by Radio Engineering Associates (*REA*
<http://www.radioassociates.com/>), in cooperation with ARRL, which
supports all modes of Amateur Radio operation. W1AW will play a leading
role in the event, as it has for the past 2 years.

Subject: [W8MWA] Upcoming SSB Contests
Message-ID: <CACvhBuBCrmc7Lii8COKPeYUQbRqavVCMgu56e9OGxVfovC687w@mail.gmail.com>

February 2-4

10-10 International SSB Contest... chance for some 10 meters contacts given
there will be a lot of stations on that HUGE band of frequencies.  Snag
some elusive 10 Meter Worked All States entities in a pond full of fish!

Minnesota QSO Party... add Minnesota to your logbook on several bands and
State QSO Parties are a great way to fill in needed spots on specific bands
toward Worked All States and county hunting.

British Columbia QSO Party... stretch out westward for Canadian logbook
entries as the bands start lighting up from mid-day to late night.  Listen
for VE station calls!

RSGB 80 Meter SSB Club Championship... It's not ONLY that the British are
coming!  It's good way at add to your 80 Meter DXCC counts... and 80 Meters
in the evening and into the night will be prime time to make the hop across
the pond into England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland and some cool
islands!  (Don't discount early mornings to hear a few UK stations on 80
Meters before the band fades away!)

Check out... www.contestcalendar.com for precise details about each
contest, dates and times, contest exchanges, log uploading, and hot
frequencies.  Yeah... I know... sunspot numbers are down and the bands are
dead... Pffffffffffffttttttttt!  Last weekend in the Winter Field Day
Contest, I know someone in the Cheat Lake area with a dipole and 100 watts
that worked 439 contacts on 20-40-80 Meters and snagged all but a small
handful of the usual Field Day Sections.  THE BANDS ARE NOT DEAD.  Fire up
that HF rig and start logging!  (Last weekend over 77% of those contacts
were on 40 Meters... 20 and 80 Meters accounted for 11% of the contacts
each.  Food for thought.)

A good strategy if the contest starts during daylight hours is to focus
early on 20 Meters since that band tends to fade toward dark... then
migrate toward 40 meters and 80 Meters as the even develops.  If things
thin out on one band then bounce between bands once in a while to see if
any new stations can be worked.  Don't forget to check 15 Meters and 10
Meters for a quick scan every hour of so because sometimes you can hit a
brief opening... a lot of people forget about 15 and 10 Meters, assuming
they are dead... but if they are open, you can often grab a few "freebies"
on those bands and it will make you smile BIGLY!  Check your DX Spotting
software or websites to see where band activity activity is going on.  If
your contest software has DX Spotting filters, refine your spotting areas
to Call Areas 3 and 8, since those spotted by call signs with a 3 or an 8
will indicate stations closer to North Central West Virginia that ARE
working stations on specific frequency bands!  If you see DX Spots on 15
and 10 Meters, BOUNCE quickly to see if you can pick up some extra
multipliers because those 2 bands a pretty fickle right now... seize the
opportunity for a multiplier!  If you are an "early riser" you can often
clean out what's left of 40 and 80 Meters while you drink your coffee
waiting for 20 Meters to start heating up around 7-10 AM.  That time of
early morning will often be less crowded on those bands and the pickings
are easier.  Sometimes you can even hear Australia, New Zealand and
Tasmanian stations working the USA!  Remember that the Grey Line is a
consistent friend to DX'ers both early and late in the day!  Early in the
day listen for Europe, West Africa and the Canary Islands to open into the
USA... and late in the day toward evening, when the bands tend to go long,
you want to listen for the western USA, western Canada, Hawaii, Alaska and
The Yukon.  GET RADIO-ACTIVE!

Subject: [W8MWA] ARRL Launching New Podcast Geared Toward New Radio Amateurs
Message-ID: <CACvhBuCJv0gndimR6nhsOVDwLckbdHF_E0VZRrpp-2fR+BWfmw@mail.gmail.com>

01/28/2019

For those just getting started on their Amateur Radio journey, ARRL is
launching a new podcast aimed at answering your questions, providing
support and encouragement for newcomers to get the most out of the hobby.
The podcast ?So Now What?? will launch on Thursday, March 7, and new
episodes will be posted every other Thursday, alternating new-episode weeks
with the ?*ARRL The Doctor is In* <http://www.arrl.org/doctor>? podcast.

Co-hosting ?So Now What?? will be ARRL Communications Content Producer
Michelle Patnode, W3MVP, and ARRL Station Manager Joe Carcia, NJ1Q.
Presented as a lively conversation, with Patnode representing newer hams
and Carcia the veteran operators, the podcast will explore questions that
newer hams may have and the issues that keep participants from staying
active in the hobby. Some episodes will feature guests to answer questions
on specific topic areas.

?No other podcast is really aimed at this segment of the Amateur Radio
community? that is being underserved, that is not getting the answers to
the many questions they have,? said ARRL Communications Manager David
Isgur, N1RSN, who will serve as the podcast?s executive producer.

Topics to be discussed in the first several episodes include getting
started, operating modes available to Technician licensees, VEC and
licensing issues, sunspots and propagation, mobile operating, contesting,
Amateur Radio in pop culture, and perceptions of Technician license holders.

Given the growing popularity of podcasts, Isgur believes that providing
this information in a podcast format will be a very effective method of
reaching out and engaging this particular part of the Amateur Radio
community, which is important for building and maintaining Amateur Radio
interest and activity.

Patnode said she is excited to ask questions she has about different
aspects of Amateur Radio, such as how to incorporate ham radio with newer
technologies like Raspberry Pi computers and Arduinos, and to learn more
about the hobby right along with the audience.

Carcia believes the ?So Now What?? podcast will be a perfect complement to
the podcasts that the ARRL already offers ? ?ARRL The Doctor Is In? and
?ARRL Audio News.?

In addition to serving as co-host, Patnode is also the audio
editor/producer of the podcast. ARRL Graphics Department Supervisor Sue
Fagan, KB1OKW, designed the podcast logo, and ARRL Radiosport
Administrative Manager Sabrina Jackson, KC1JMW, will voice the introduction
and closing.

Listeners will be able to find the ?So Now What?? podcast on *Apple iTunes*
<https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/arrl-the-doctor-is-in/id1096749595?mt=2>
, *Blubrry* <https://www.blubrry.com/arrl_the_doctor_is_in/>, or *Stitcher*
<https://www.stitcher.com/> (free registration required, or browse the site
as a guest) and through the free Stitcher app for iOS, Kindle, or Android
devices...or wherever you get your podcasts. Episodes will also be archived
on the ARRL website.

?So Now What?? will be sponsored by *LDG Electronics*
<http://www.ldgelectronics.com/>, a family owned and operated business with
laboratories in southern Maryland that offers a wide array of antenna
tuners and other Amateur Radio products.
