To clarify, it will be the same presentation both nights, so please attend whichever one is most convenient for YOU. If you are interested in being a volunteer to help at our events (such as Field Day and Parks on the Air), this will be essential training. There will be at least 4 different training activities before Field Day to get all of our volunteers ready to operate the stations, to help set up and breakdown, and most importantly: to be able to talk to all of the general public and new hams who come to these events and get them on the air! Sunday and Monday will be BVARC Spec-Ops Training #1. In this presentation, I will cover the following: - What is Field Day and POTA? - Approaching and talking to the general public and new hams. - Safety and politeness in ham radio. - Operating on HF: band plans, operator etiquette, hunting vs calling CQ, Q-codes. - Exchanges for Field Day and POTA. - Logging, log file types, and uploading logs to QRZ and POTA.app - Basic HF Radio settings you need to know. - A little about impedance. - Connectors and cable basics. - Special considerations for multi-radio HF operations. - Fielding questions about Field Day and POTA and getting familiar with all of the great stuff BVARC does. Lots of extra study material will be provided for those interested in more detailed and technical training beyond the scope of this lecture. I only have 2 hours, so I will cover the basics. As always I will be available for questions after the presentation or any time via email, on the air, or by phone. After Training #1, comes... BVARC Spec-Ops Training #2! That training will cover digital modes for Field Day and POTA, a few other important digital modes, and a little more technical detail not covered in Training #1. BVARC Spec-Ops Training #3 will cover the technical details of the antenna systems we use for Field Day and POTA. Our resident antenna expert Rick Hiller (W5RH) will be covering this, so I will let him outline his presentation for us when he has that prepared. Depending on time and the feedback I get, we may cover some more technical details as well. BVARC Spec-Ops Training #4 will be an in-the-field lab / TEST DAY. We will bring out all of the necessary multi-radio operation equipment, and all of the volunteers will be trained and tested on their ability to set up each radio, filter, battery, multiplexer, dummy load, antenna, and so on. We will also do real POTA exchanges and mock Field Day exchanges while practicing logging using N1MM and HAMRS. BVARC members who attend all training sessions and successfully pass these tests will be provisional members of the BVARC Spec-Ops team. Once provisional members of the BVARC Spec-Ops team put in 12 hours at BVARC on the air events (Field Day, POTA, WFD etc.), they will be awarded the title BVARC Spec-Ops team member.

Re: [BVARC] Fwd:
I used to own a Kenwood TS-590SG, which has a receive out jack (RCV) on the back. It's really a split antenna feed. Whatever you're tuned to on the Kenwood is the same signal that is available through the RCV jack. You plug that into the SDRPlay, The SDRPlay USB output is then plugged into into your computer where SDR software (several free choices from SDRPlay) is installed. You can view the view the signal on a scope display on your computer monitor. Works like a champ. There are instructions available on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GCJv00sk70=PLOzm8JEiD6pE66t2d7sHlZpAUfiDUe7yM Have fun. 73, JP > On 05/13/2023 8:17 PM CDT DAVID ELY via BVARC wrote: > > > > My SDR Play is connected to the RF OUT connection on my FTdx3000.
