I regret to inform the membership that Randy, WT5CR (formerly N9REY), a
former club member and great supporter of the club and the hamfests, passed
away October 1 in Belleville after an extended illness.  

Randy's visitation will be held Thursday, October 7 at Renner's Funeral Home
in Belleville from 5-7 with military honors rendered close to 7.  His wife,
Kate, has arranged for a Zoom call if anyone is interested.  She will need
your e-mail address for an invite to drkatejackson at outlook.com  

Our sympathy and prayers go to Randy's family.

73, Jim N9JF

Right now, it looks like a good chance of rain Wednesday afternoon and into
evening. Since the weather forecast is iffy, we will not meet outside in the
park, but instead, we will meet at Twin Oaks, 2707 Bonansinga Dr. in Quincy
at 7:00 PM.

See you there.

As I was saying in the newsletter about putting something together for the club meeting. What I had planned is not going to work at an indoor meeting or at a business for that matter. I will keep this plan for a future club meeting.

Going with plan B now. Spend more time with the wife as Wednesday is out 14th wedding anniversary. I was approved by the wife since I was going to present a small program to the club. Talk to you all soon. 73

We will try to have a ZOOM session available tomorrow night for those
interested.  I tried sending the sign-in to the reflector, but I never know
if those actually get delivered.  If you want the notification, please
e-mail me.

I may have sent this once before, but after talking to one of the club
members last night, I thought it may be worth sharing again.

It is pretty straightforward and we all are required to do this calculation
now.

Hey gang,

It's about time to put together the November Feedline.  I'd love to hear
from those of you who operated in ILQP...any stories (horror or otherwise),
etc.   Please send articles to me by Thursday October 21.  Thanks! 73, Jim

Message-ID: <0c4601d7c87a$6061dab0$21259010$@w9dp.us>

I would like to ask all club members to check your VHF equipment and make
sure it is not keying up without your input. This applies especially to
anyone that leaves their  radio on all the time and might have a scanner on
in the room with the your radio.

We are having an issue where a transmitter is transmitting on the 147.030
repeater input frequency, 147.630, and rebroadcasting public service
traffic. It is possible the audio source is a scanner and it sounds a lot
like the transmitter is keying with VOX, but there could be other reasons
the transmitter is keying up. The reason I am pretty sure it is a ham
transmitter is the repeater is being brought up by the  transmission, which
requires the 103.5 tone be present.

The station that is doing the rebroadcasting appears to be in or near Quincy
as a couple of stations in Quincy say it is full scale when they check the
repeater input.

At any rate, please check your station and make sure it is not you.

Thanks

WB9EWM has been working with a Motorola service tech today checking to see
if the equipment on their end may be causing the problem. If you are still
hearing the public service traffic on the 147.030 repeater, please let me or
WB9EWM know, either directly or through the club email reflector.

Thanks

Message-ID: <0e9201d7ca8c$72d28370$58778a50$@w9dp.us>

The link below is for a web page that allows you to see ham radio operators
in a given area on a map. You can search by call, address, zip code or grid
square. It does not show any ham with a PO box as the address on file with
the FCC (such as AB9QW, KD9SRE, KA9VIM or W9DP).

https://haminfo.tetranz.com/map/z/62301

This could be useful for a number of things and is fun just to see who lives
where on a map.

Subject: [WIARC] 147.030 issue resolved
Message-ID: <0ed901d7caa4$4cce1320$e66a3960$@w9dp.us>

The problem where we were hearing public service radio traffic on the
147.030 repeater has been resolved. A local ham found he had inadvertently
created the problem with a console he uses for his ham radio and work radio.
He realized the problem Monday evening and took care of it and apologized
for causing the issue.

In the process of looking into possible causes of the problem, WB9EWM did
make  a couple of trips to the 147.030 repeater site and while John was
checking the performance of the 147.030 hardware, John set the 147.030
repeater to analog FM only, it was previously set to auto mode detect. The
443.900 repeater is the place to do C4FM digital and that repeater is still
set for auto mode detect and will work with both analog and digital signals.

A big thank you to WB9EWM for spending several hours trying to find the
problem.

A more in depth report will be presented a the November club meeting.
