[BVARC] FD

[Bill Cordell via BVARC]

Richard:

Helped Quack to get all stuff in his car.   Took out the last garbage bag (for 
we must leave the place “clean”).  Took down the BARC banner and I have it. 

Locked the park up.  Will have to let the rental company truck in tomorrow when 
they call me and tell me when they are heading to the park. 

 

Otherwise, all is good and had a fun time.  Congrats on a great FD !

JP:

We may want to convene a committee of interested people to talk about what is 
proposed.  There are so many variables, not to mention the costs to construct 
and run a digital transmitter.  Also, who has digital receivers?  Currently 
there are limited AM shortwave receivers for that industry is dying (like the 
majority of the over-the-air broadcast stations due to the ubiquitous and 
massively increasing wireless internet)..

2 Nights Before Christmas

Ron Litt, K5HM

 

Two nights before Christmas and up at the shop,

Santa was checking his sleigh for the big hop.

 

His APRS was already on line,

So, the gang down at NORAD could track him 5 - 9.

 

The new HF rig was tuned up on 20.

He knew that 100 watts would be plenty.

 

"I'll be on VOX for this flight", he said in his head.

I have to be able to look straight ahead."

 

So, sideband it is for the big night tomorrow.

I hope the CW guys won't be too full of sorrow.

 

The two-meter rig was already encoded,

With every repeater that could be uploaded.

 

They'll know when Santa's near; they won't be surprised,

And make sure the kids have all closed their eyes.

 

He stopped for a moment then gave a big start,

When he suddenly realized he was missing a part.

 

"Of course!", he shouted. "it's my laptop PC !

I won't get far without it on my knee."

 

"It's got my log and my list and my flight plan too,

Though I always have Rudolph to guide me through."

 

He pulled out his wallet once more to check,

That his FCC license was there for the trek.

 

"Well, it looks like I'm ready", they heard him declare,

"I'll be single op unassisted for the entire affair."

 

"I better get some rest now before the big night,

So, I can be ready for the long flight."

 

And they heard him exclaim as he walked off to bed,

"CQ, CQ, CQ . . . QRZed?"

 

Merry Christmas Y'all

73,

I'm in the process of settling the outstanding reimbursement due from Field Day.

 

I have some receipts that came to me for the purchases of some items at Micro 
Center on 6/10 and The Home Depot in Missouri City on 6/13.  I suspect that 
they were for the antenna build.

 

If you are the individual who made these purchases and want to get reimbursed, 
get back with me. Otherwise, I will treat them as a donation.

Think it is backwards standard 1/4 wire rope breaking strength is 7,000 lbs and 
3/16 is 4200 for 7x19 galvanized.   You can buy cable at Home Depot or Lowes 
and make your own cables.  You could try Alps Wire Rope or Southwest Wire Rope 
but I'd suspect they are premium priced.   You might check with Bill Cordell to 
see if he knows anyone

I have an HG70HD tower that has been in service for 15 years. When I bought it

recabled. 

 

Has anyone recabled an HG70HD? Can you give me some information and tips please?

 

I found the following information in the manual. I am hoping someone can 
confirm these dimensions:

 

Item 4 p/n 690346: CABLE 1/4” x 59-1/2

Item 5 p/n 690198: CABLE 1/4” x 20-1/2

Item 6 p/n 690197: CABLE 3/16 x 20-1/2

 

I called MFJ. “Tom” told me the cables are: 1/4” 4200 lbs breaking strength; 
3/16” 7000 lbs breaking strength.

 

Now I need to find a shop that can build the cables or find someone who may 
have these parts. Any suggestions or recommendations? I live SW of Houston, 
Texas. I am also attaching all the information I have on hand so far. I am also 
copying the manual and drawings sent by MFJ as reference.

I am attending the BVARC BOD meeting this morning. When discussion Field
Day, there were several ideas floated:

1.  Setting up one or more stations at the FD site to operate remotely.
(Scheduling using real-time Google Sheets)
2.  Setting up one or more member stations to operate remotely using
club call. (Scheduling using real-time Google Sheets)
3.  All stations operating separately with their own calls to combine as
an aggregate club score
4.  Member stations operating with their own call with new class (1X)
[not sure if we could get ARRL and logging software to go this way]
5.  Other ideas???

 

It was decided to hold several Zoom meetings to decide a path forward. First
one will likely be next Saturday.

Thank you ALL for a great response during Hamfest. We signed up 22 people to 
operate during FD. Some experts and some newbies. 

 

A lot of you commented about learning from experts during FD. That is a great 
idea. We can do this by including some training in N1MM and K3 radios before 
start of FD. Then, during FD, we can let the people listen in on the CW QSOs. 
And, for SSB operation, we can assist by typing in the information in N1MM to 
help the operator.  

 

FD is a great time for learning and mentoring others. Come learn all about 
putting up antennas, setting up the rigs and operating. Let us not forget about 
tear down after FD. We will need your help. 

 

Please spread the word around about our Quad Club Mega Field Day. More 
information about FD will follow in the future.

operate or just meet other hams and do some face-time rag-chews. More details 
about the FD will be presented later by the organizing committees. 

 

We are signing up operators for this Mega event. Please stop by at the TDXS

For Field Day next year we will (or should):

 

1.  Have Jeff Hoke from CenterPoint Energy come out several months before 
FD and then again several weeks before.
2.  Locate the main antennas East<->West of each other to minimize 
interstation interference.
3.  Route digital feed lines separate from CW feed lines.
4.  Investigate the use of some portable A/C units.
5.  Investigate the use of coax stubs to further reduce interstation 
interference.
6.  KEEP THE SAME COOK! (Great job on food!)
7.  KEEP THE SAME NETWORK GUY! (Great job on computers, networking, 
software, etc. We are really lucky to have you, Glen!)
8.  Suggest either TDXS or BVARC purchase a new 2-el 40m beam.
9.  Put CW antennas on highest manlifts.
10. Investigate the use of a manual switch to switch radios from mains to 
generator (to eliminate last minute confusion…or) switch radios to generator 
well before 1pm.
11. Make sure GOTA station operators know the rules.

 

I thought this was one of our best Field Days yet, due to the new location 
(irrespective of noise). Hopefully we can work out the noise issues with 
CenterPoint or fix whatever is making the noise in the house. The house and the 
land were a big improvement over what we have had in the past. The 
participation by other clubs (especially KARS) was a big plus. We may need to 
make some more rules, especially with respect to moving headsets around in the 
SSB room…or make sure all are setup the same way. We also need a greater push 
with the SSB operators regarding operating technique to maximize rate (teach 
them to run). 

 

I am also dumbfounded and extremely disappointed in the lack of participation 
by other TDXS members. I suggest we make a push again for next year, but we 
need to start six months in advance so that they do not make other plans first. 

 

I know I have other thoughts and will express them as soon as they come to the 
front of my mind.

Like Scott, I had the over night shift.  I started at the beginning and 
finished around 4:30 AM- 5:00AM, when Nizar came to rescue me!  I went home and 
slept for a couple of hours, then went to Church.  I returned about 1/2 hour 
before the end with my wife (KD8CMB) and tried to get her to work a little SSB. 
 Alas, no luck, but she did sign in!!

 

I did not do much of the take down, except move some tables and chairs, as my 
grandson decided to be born on June 25th, and he takes priority!  We had his 
7th birthday party at our place.  Can you imagine a house full of kids, right 
after field day, and having only a couple hours of sleep!!  

 

I agree wholeheartedly with Nizar’s and Curt’s comments.  I am somewhat 
dumbfounded at the lack of participation from the TDXS, as I believe there were 
approximately 6 of us in attendance, although I could be wrong on that number 
and just missed folks who came out on Sunday morning.

Overall evaluation of the QUAD club FD would have to be 4+ out of 5. Great 
location, great teamwork and great people. Most importantly, the bands opened 
up on Sunday for a great ending. 3,000 QSOs considering that we had high noise 
on 40 and 80 meters and no propagation on 15 and 10 on Saturday, is a great 
score. So, thank you to ALL the organizers and the clubs for making this very 
successful.

Here are a couple of suggestions to make it even better for next year.

The large first aid bag has been found.  It is a long story. Only 3 things need 
to be replaced to bring it up to date.

The meetings are behind us and the event is just down the road. The last three 
most important things are left:

 

1. Everyone that would like to operate needs to sign up on the list on the 
BVARC web site. 

2. Invite anyone you can think of. The more the merrier. 

3. Talk the event up – on the repeaters, on HF, even at work on the 
elevator. The more the merrier?

 

If you would like to volunteer, contact either myself or Scott Medbury and  let 
us know. 

 

Also, a few items are missing from the warehouse:

 

1. The First Aid kit/bag

2. The BVARC banner

3. The BVARC flag

 

If you know where the missing items are, please let someone on the BOD know.

 

Hope to see everyone at Field Day!

Re: [BVARC] [tdxs-list] H.R.4986 - FCC Reauthorization Act of 2018

[Bill Cordell via BVARC]

I am on an HOA board.  You cannot have non-technical and very focused HOA 
decisionmakers have the ultimate say for any ham radio antennas.  H.R.4986 - 
FCC Reauthorization Act of 2018 is so ambiguous and soft spoken that an HOA can 
easily do what they wish, when considering a ham radio antenna of any type.
This is not good.

This looks like it is a compromise at least in wording that gives the ham some 
wiggle room whit the HOA's. Please correct me if I miss read it.

All, 

 

This bill is to reauthorize funding for the FCC.  Very likely to pass so the 
FCC can operate! 

 

Title III of this bill appears to contain language very similar to the Amateur 
Radio Parity Act of 2017!!

 

I do not see anything I recognize as allowing "high symbol rate" modes on the 
HF bands.

 

Below is a link to the text of the bill:

Please read and see what you think!  Forward to anyone you feel should see this.
