All is (relatively) good now with the rotor…turns out it was a connection issue 
in a connector in the shack done by none other than me…crappy job. I will have 
to redo it. After some troubleshooting from the resistance chart in the TT 
manual, I found one line to be open. It is working now. Who said that manuals 
are useless!!

 

Thanks for the suggestions. I did order a cap as a spare, so cheap. 

 

FYI, SteppIR project is coming along, almost finished. I plan to swap out the 
TT rotor on the tower as the current one has a dirty pot. I have made some 
modifications to the SteppIR which are almost finished:
   
   - Replaced one loop element and added another one for D2 to provide 2 
elements on 30 and 40 meters (effectively converts it to a DB-32). Parts came 
from Bill Bayard AK5WB who’s tower failed in high winds and who gave me what 
was left of his DB-18E.
   - Repainted all elements with marine grade non-metallic paint to protect the 
fiberglass from the sun.
   - All EHUs (stepper motors) have been rebuilt and tested on the ground at 
least 30-40 times.
   - Added a fixed 6 meter reflector and repositioned other 6 meter passive 
elements based on NEC calculations from a friend. Interesting, I learned that 
with long boom antennas, directors start to get longer rather than shorter. I 
didn’t know that. 
   - Moved the counterweight from D2 to the EHU reflector due to addition of 
new and heavier hardware on the front end of the boom. 
   - Added new “split loom” Kellems Grip to support the cable bundle from the 
top of the tower. 

 

Antenna party to be scheduled soon! Can’t wait to get it up now with these 
improved sunspot and solar flux numbers!

coverage of the 94 machine is ideal for this purpose. I will plan the first

Hello folks. 
   I just purchased a new ID-5100A. I have found that the white background 
screen is to bright. I am looking for the place where you can change the color 
for White to Amber or green. I have been through the manual full & Condensed

It has been an unbelievable Field Day so far. We have hit and surpassed so many 
points from last year it will be next to impossible to ever beat them.

 

So far we have exceeded 10, 000 points! A new record for the Quad Club Mega 
Field Day event! Thanks to all who worked hard on getting the contacts.

 

Extra bonus points are always helpful and yesterday is no exception. We had a 
bonus points just drop from the sky when the Fort Bend County Sheriff flew in 
on the department helicopter. Too bad we don’t get extra points for the mode of 
travel.

 

We had over 100 people attend the event on Saturday. From Boy Scouts to several 
elected officials to University of Texas at Arlington Director of Civil 
engineering. A great turn-out of an extremely diverse group of visitors.

 

And again food to die for. BBQ from Rudy’s with all the sides and lemon and 
German chocolate cake. The food team has worked hard to bring the best food and 
service that the Hamfest has ever had. They also set-up food for the night crew 
so they did not go hungry why they worked through the night.

 

Speaking of food, they have already started servicing breakfast which will 
continue through 10:30. So hurry on out for a great breakfast before you sit 
down to work your 500 contacts!

 

Shut down is at 1 pm so hurry on out if you want to get your contacts in. Lets 
continue on making this Field Day one of the best for the Quad club event!

I know its late but there is still food service until 7:30 pm. The food is 
great with brisket, sausage, potato salad, macaroni and cheese and beans. We 
also have several different cakes for desert so come on out and fill up.

 

The bands are a little noisy but contacts are being made. There are still

Well so far the set-up has gone well with only a few hiccups. Most of the 
antennas have been installed in their respective locations. Final installation 
of the digital antennas and tweaking of the CW and SSB antennas will be done 
Saturday morning. I have attached a picture of how the antennas looked just 
before I left for the evening. It is a really great picture seeing the antennas 
in the air with a sun set as a back drop.

 

Thanks to Bill Cordell, the CW room is just right on the temperature – really 
cold! I don’t think there will be any complaints about the conditions in the CW 
room this year other than – “ can someone turn up the thermostat, Its freezing 
in here!”. The SSB room will also have supplement air conditioning as well so  
this year should be the coolest operators yet (really bad, isn’t it)!

 

The GOTA station antenna is up as well as a beverage antenna. I did not found 
out who put up the beverage antenna but it is a really big one. I will have to 
find out and let everyone know tomorrow.

 

Last but not least, the culinary expertise of Daphne, Kelli and Anita were 
brought together Friday night. They had custom made sandwiches with chips and a 
choice of lemon pound cake or chocolate cookies. With personal service they 
have brought the meal service up several notches. The culinary team will be 
making home made breakfast tacos in the morning. They will be served in the “CW 
Bistro” from 8am to 10 am. The team will then have lunch from noon to 2 pm also 
being served in the CW Bistro. Then don’t forget Saturday night’s dinner from 5 
pm to 7 pm. With BBQ brisket and sausage from Rudy’s, the evening meal will 
make sure no one

Greetings All,

 

   As preparations for Field Day move ahead, I have been charged with keeping 
track of those who want to operate on FT8 during the event. This will be the 
first time FT8 will be used in this ARRL event and if you want to operate in 
the FT8 mode, please let me know. We are building a list of FT8 operators, so 
we know what needs to be provided to make that happen.  So please let me know 
if you want to be added to the list. Just reply to this message and I’ll do the 
rest.

 

   If you’re not yet familiar with FT8, there are operating guides on line. 
Just be sure to look for WSJT-X version 2.0 or higher. Here’s a link to help 
you with that. 
http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx-doc/wsjtx-main-2.0.0.html

WSJT-X can operate in several modes besides FT8, so you’ll want to filter your 
reading with that in mind.  There are other documents on line focused strictly 
on operating in FT8. Here’s one: 
https://www.g4ifb.com/FT8_Hinson_tips_for_HF_DXers.pdf

 

So, if you haven’t already put your name on the list, this is your chance to do 
so.  Send me your name, call sign and email address. All are welcome. And If 
you have access to BVARC’s Field Day partner club reflectors, please forward 
this note on to those as well.

2 Nights Before Christmas

  

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. “its my laptop PC!

I won’t get far without it on my knee.”

  

“Its 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 walked off to bed,

“CQ, CQ, CQ . . . QRZed?”

  

Merry Christmas Y’all

  

73,

Ron, K5HM

I agree with Jerry on this,   I can "run", I'm not a pro but I do my best, but 
it's not my favorite thing to do.  Half of what field day is for is introducing 
ham radio to non-hams.  Do you really think that by introducing people new to 
ham radio to a room full of people who are much more interested in racking up 
QSOs/points than stopping and taking time to explain what's going on and 
answering questions is going to make them any more inclined to become hams?  I 
can hear the argument of "That's what GOTA's for" and to a degree can agree 
with that.  The problem I have with that is, especially in the case of a new 
ham or an old ham that doesn't have the ability to work HF, is that limits the 
ability of other hams to ELMER the new or non-hams. The first field day I went 
to, I learned a great deal about field day and operating HF sitting with Ross 
on a splitter scribeing for him.  Later I actually worked up enough courage to 
work a half hour or hour trying to make contacts, something I wouldn't have 
done if I hadn't sat with Ross for that time.  I don't have an issue with 
having contesters there and letting them run but making field day, or at least 
our field day, a nothing but contest stations event would effectively end my 
participation in Field Day with BVARC.  I know points wise, I don't do much, 
and my help with set up and tear down is limited, and my presence may not be 
missed at the event.  But I have no love for serous contesting (of any kind), 
I've done serious contest don't like it.

As far as how freaking HOT it got in that house, it was built in the early 
50's, I DOUBT anyone has had new insulation blown in in the last 20+ years.  
Doesn't matter how good/new your AC is, if the house can't hold the cold in or 
keep the heat out, it's going to be hotter that hell.  Auxillary AC would help 
if the house can handle them.

As far as MIDRATS go, Kellie and I did have the idea of either making a big pot 
of Mac and cheese or grilled cheese sandwiches, I'm not sure why we didn't.

For Field Day next year we will (or should):
 
Have Jeff Hoke from CenterPoint Energy come out several months before FD and 
then again several weeks before.Locate the main antennas East<->West of each 
other to minimize interstation interference.Route digital feed lines separate 
from CW feed lines.Investigate the use of some portable A/C units.Investigate 
the use of coax stubs to further reduce interstation interference.KEEP THE SAME 
COOK! (Great job on food!)KEEP THE SAME NETWORK GUY! (Great job on computers, 
networking, software, etc. We are really lucky to have you, Glen!)Suggest 
either TDXS or BVARC purchase a new 2-el 40m beam.Put CW antennas on highest 
manlifts.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.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.

Am I the only one who noticed that the thermostat was locked on 78—and reading 
78—until it automatically switched to 75 at 3 a.m.? Did we forget that Duhacsek 
Park, while being a spread I would've loved to retire to, is still run by the 
government? That means said thermostat is likely set to comply with 
governmental policy. Yes, I had a little “chat” with that thermostat during the 
wee hours of boredom Sunday, instantly discovering that it was a Honeywell unit 
virtually identical to mine. Those puppies are both programmable and 
password-lockable, which Duhacsek was. There’s also the strong possibility 
that, if you did bring in portable a/cs, you’d trigger the thermostat to turn 
on the central heat. That would depend on whether the thermostat is in “full 
automatic” mode as mine is, and what the setpoints are. Instead of trying to 
beat the system, why not simply ask the powers that be to unlock it?
 
As for the interference, I suspect you’re vastly over-thinking the problem 
because it was present to a lesser degree last year too. Although the steps you 
list should help some, I think the crux of the issue is the mushrooming scale 
of the computer equipment you’re so reliant on. Please don’t believe me. Simply 
shut down everything except the radios for a short period after midnight next 
year and listen for yourself.

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] NA SPRINT SSB

Nizar:
   I did as you suggested and found it to be fast paced and most of the time 
hard to understand the exchange. I did notice a LOT of repeats. Had the caller 
slowed down they would have not wasted so much time on the repeats and would 
have made more contacts as most repeats were 2 or 3 times. But I did enjoy 
listening.

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

Subject: [tdxs-list] MMTTY received signal levels low








Suddenly, the signal levels on the MMTTY scope seem to be very low. In 
addition, only the loudest signals are decodable. Nothing in my configuration 
has changed (that I know of) except that I did an upgrade to the microHAM micro 
KEYER II firmware. (I am not saying that is the cause, but the only thing that 
I know of that has changed). I have been using FT8 a lot these days, but I 
don't see how that can make a difference.

Rig: K3/P3Interface: micro KEYER II v6.12 with Device Router v8.8.4.

I have checked all cables and setting that I know of to set. Audio levels are 
mostly set to max and yet the cross hair display on MMTTY shows low levels. In 
addition, the audio seems distorted on receive (at least the image is 
distorted). On transmit, all levels are normal and the image is clean.

Any ideas??  Allen R. Brier N5XZ1515 Windloch LaneRichmond, Texas

Re: [BVARC] MMTTY received signal levels low

[gmuller885--- via BVARC]

I hate to jump in but will anyway.  I was having trouble decoding and found the 
the K3 had switched to USB. also I now have added a MicroHAM Interface III and 
my audio levels were not set.  Robie suggested that I set USB to LSB and play 
with the Audio levels. By the time I got it working , the contest was over. I 
wrote everything down so I won't have that problem again and will start the set 
up the day or so before the contest. Lessons learned.   From a rookie.

contest is this coming weekend. It starts at noon on Saturday, our time, and 
ends at midnight. It runs 12 hours but you are only allowed to operate 10 or 
the 12 hours.
 
The exchange for this contest is just like the CW exchange. Name and State. 
There will be lots of people on the air and this will be a good time to get the 
states you need for WAS award. It is also a good time to get some more 
operating time in a contest.
 
Does anyone want to coordinate setting up the teams and registering them? 
Please step up. Let us know if you want to join a team.

[BVARC] ***SPAM*** Things I have learned about the SOUTH Merry Christmas

[gmuller885--- via BVARC]

ALL
 
 
 
  
A possum is a flat animal that 
sleeps in the middle of the road.  
There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998
of them live in the South. 
There are 10,000 types of spiders.
All 10,000 of them live in the South,
plus a couple no one's seen before.
 
If it grows, it'll stick ya. 
If it crawls, it'll bite cha.
 
Onced and Twiced are words.
 
It is not a shopping cart,
it is a buggy!
 
Jawl-P? means, Did you all go
to the bathroom?
 
People actually grow,eat 
and like okra.
 
Fixinto is one word. It means
I'm going to do that.
 
There is no such thing as lunch.
There is only dinner and then
there's supper.
 
Iced tea is appropriate for all meals and
you start drinking it when you're two.
We do 
like a little tea with our sugar. 
It is referred to as 
the Wine of the South.
 
Backwards and forwards means I know
everything about you.
 
The word jeet is actually a question
meaning,
'Did you eat?'
 
You don't have to wear a watch, because
it doesn't matter what time it is, you work
until you're done or it's too dark to see.
 
You don't PUSH buttons, you MASH em.
 
Ya'll is singular. All ya'll is plural.
 
All the festivals across the state are named
after a fruit, vegetable, grain, insect,
or animal.
 
You carry jumper cables in your car –
for your OWN car.
 
You only own five spices: salt, pepper,
mustard, Tabasco and ketchup.
 
The local papers cover national and international news on one page, but require 
6 pages for
local high school sports, 
the motor sports, and gossip.
 
Everyone you meet is a Honey, Sugar,
Miss(first name) or 
Mr.(first name)
 
You think that the first day of deer season is a
national holiday.
 
You know what a hissyfit is..
 
Fried catfish is the other white meat.
 
We don't need no dang
Driver's Ed. If our mama says
we can drive, we can drive!!!
 
You understand these jokes and forward
them to your Southern friends and those
who
just wish they were from the SOUTH.
AND one more:
Why did the chicken cross the road?
To show that stupid possum that it CAN be done!

[BVARC] !10 meter contes

[gmuller885--- via BVARC]

Guys and Gals.  
    I tried. Had only one opening on friday night and the wife called during it 
so had to leave. When I came back it was dead and stayed that way for the rest 
of the contest.  I now understand the term sporadic contact. One second it 
would be there and the next gone. Since I have a hearing problem I would ask 
for a repeat and they were gone. Also I have a request. Please be patient with 
us newbees and talk slower when asked.  I had one guy that stated he did not 
have time to repeat. In that length of time he could have done so. His loss as 
I could not get his call. See you all next contest.  From the deaf and slow 
side.

Re: [BVARC] ARRL 10 Meter Contest

[gmuller885--- via BVARC]

all
All I see and hear is noise.  Can"t even hear N5XZ although I did get him 
yesterday at about 7+ pm last night.  Nothing this morning. I have trouble with 
contesters that have no patients with us beginners.  You ask for a repeat and 
and they say they do not have enough time. They could have given the repeat in 
that time. I do not type fast and my memory on , just happened, is not so good 
so I need them to slow down and repeat. Guess I am just not cut out to be a 
heavy contester but will keep on trucking.

Subject: Re: [BVARC] My GoFundMe Page 
That’s the rub, the GFM well may have been intended as satire, but it came 
across as a whine. Something along the lines of, "that mean ol' judge rejected 
my disability claim so buy me a K3 with accessories." Excuuse me? I mean, 
if Bill legitimately needs a  stable rig, even I have a spare IC-7000. It's no 
K3, but it's better than a 718. But, the message appeared to be an expectation 
of charity because of disability. I'm disabled, and I managed to get my degree 
and then worked.

Rick, ya know, I've been mulling over the call for BVARC officer candidates, 
and I keep returning to the same thought. Even down at the level of a ham club, 
it's all about the politics. Who knows whom, and so forth. I could technically 
be an officer, certainly, but could I actually accomplish anything? I keep 
hearing vague rumblings about how staid BVARC is, and just today I was told 
that you're part of the problem. I don’t know who's right, but I am smart 
enough to realize every story has multiple sides. In any case, it's all this 
strife and consternation around anything that matters that keeps people from 
getting involved. It's a major reason why I stay away from so many meetings. 
Who needs extra aggravation? I freely acknowledge Ron Story pretty much soured 
me on BVARC a few years ago by disinviting me to Field Day because of my 
disability. I'm sure he had good intentions, but he was out of line and needed 
correcting. That’s the most embittering point, nobody spoke up so it's really 
difficult to care about BVARC.

Ya know, I didn’t mind the GFM submission,  I just thought the level of the 
request was quite ludicrous.   Why not start a tad smaller.   
The issue was a drifting hf rig.   A 718 Icom is pretty darn stable and will 
drive an amp just fine.   It wud be under warranty too.   I might have even 
donated empathetically to that cause.

There is no reason for concern now. FCC says temporary and I see no reason to 
think otherwise. If there is a problem after 60 days, let's deal with it then. 
Why worry over nothing now ?? Too many other things going on to worry about 
without adding more

The appropriate thing to do is monitor and *document* the interference this

ARRL will certainly argue to make the temporary order permanent based on a 
"lack of interference", etc.  There must be countervailing evidence to prevent 
the "end run".  ARRL, as a former administration, apparently
 believes that a crisis is an opportunity to advance unpopular policies.

We must do all we can to ensure this "temporary" order is only temporary- 60 
daysand let's hope it does some actual good for those suffering in the 
Caribbean.
 
Let us all beware of those at the league who have data ambitions that aim to

FCC Grants Temporary Waiver to Permit Higher Symbol Rate Data Transmissions
 
 
The FCC has granted an ARRL request to waive current Amateur Radio rules to 
permit data transmissions at a higher symbol rate than currently permitted, in 
order
 to facilitate hurricane relief communications between the continental US and 
Puerto Rico. The temporary waiver is limited to Amateur Radio operators in 
Puerto Rico using PACTOR 3 and PACTOR 4 emissions, and to those radio amateurs 
in the continental US who
 are directly involved with HF hurricane relief communications involving Puerto 
Rico or the US Virgin Islands, the Commission said.
 
"We conclude that granting the requested waiver is in the public interest," the 
FCC said in its October 5 Order. "Hurricane Maria caused massive destruction
 in Puerto Rico, and communication services continue to be disrupted. Thus, to 
accommodate Amateur Radio operators assisting in the recovery efforts, we grant 
the ARRL's waiver request for the period of 60 days from the date of this 
Order."
 
ARRL explained in its waiver petition that it's shipping five PACTOR radio 
modems to Puerto Rico for use in connection with Hurricane Maria disaster relief
 communications. The League asked the FCC to temporarily allow PACTOR 3 and 
PACTOR 4 transmissions that exceed the current symbol rate limitations under § 
97.307(f) of the Amateur Service rules.
 
Under the current rules, "specified digital codes" in Part 97 may be used with 
a symbol rate that does not

then the next and then the next and all of a sudden you have 10.  What a

Gayle    I have nothing but lmr400 ultra flex. It handles 1.5 kw+ which is

So bottom line. yes!  For a little bit more in financial expense on the 
LMR400 cable from RG8x you will noticeably benefit in increased receiving 
ability as well as transmiting from the upgrade. thanks.

Welcome Paul
  I also have heard that the 7300 is a great unit for the price.   Icom 
calls it entry level but I talked to the ARRL lab guys and they said it is  a 
GAME CHANGER. It is easy to use and for an SDR it leaves little if anything

Would love to compare their findings if I might .

Re: [BVARC] Purchasing at Exchange for all Vets

[gmuller885 via BVARC]

Thanks Bruce. 28 yr vet.

Purchasing at Exchange for all Vets 

As you know, if you
retired from the military, you have access to the Exchanges and
to the online exchanges. The law changes on November 11, 2017,
Veterans Day this year allowing ANY honorable separated veteran
the right to purchase from the exchange. 

  
You need to
pre-register. 

  
Go to shopmyexhcnage.com.
On the right near the top is a box Veterans Online Shopping
Benefit Take the first step.. Click on it and it takes you
to vetverify.org. That is where you register. Then on November
11, 2017, you will have access to create an account at 
shopmyexchange.com.


  
I got lucky, someone
was looking out for me somewhere. I registered two weeks ago and
the other day, I received an email to create my exchange account
and start shopping now as a Beta test for the exchange. I have
been perusing the goodies and one thing I looked up for my
daughter was some Whey. On Amazon, it was $58 and in the exchange
it was $29. Not everything is as deeply discounted. 

  
Also, all purchases are
tax free. Anything over $49 is shipped free, under $49 is a flat
$4.95. And... they match prices with walmart, target, amazon.
What could be better. 

  
Hope this will help
some of you that are vets or have a vet in the family. It sure
put a smile on my face.

I didn't make any big mistakes...other than probablyS&P too much, especially 
early Saturday evening due to the lightning noise.Luckily it lessened later and 
I was able to run on both 40 and 80. Thanks to everyone who worked me,

Hi Mr. Hardwick ( Mike or Michael if you prefer )-

  Last evening I did not hear the name Donovan, and was not cleared by the XYL 
to pay dues.
( I just landed a new contract  or contract to hire position ).
Will someone be available to accept dues at the Fire Station?
 
and on another note:
Do you need lumber for stakes to hold these antennas ( wire antennas ) firm at 
the ground end or guy-ropes?
I may be able to provide some short, unsharpened, 2x2 scraps. Lathe or other 
woodworking tools could be an issue with them, unless someone wants to be 
heroic with a hatchet.
 
and:
My new job does involve a Christian Television station. It is *possible* that 
they would consider a remote- yet I am awfully new to working for them.
Do you think that the 'language' of some of the amateurs involved might be 
considered to be less than Christian?
See attachment for an example. Thanks-

[BVARC] Inverted V

Re: [BVARC] Inverted V dipole orientation

[GMuller885--- via BVARC]

Gayle.
I am also putting up an inverted V 80 meter wire Die  pole and was 
going to ask the same question. My lot points to all four points of  the 
compass. North, East, South, West. So what is the best direction to point  the 
ends 
of the wire and does it have to be 180 degs or can one leg be off  center 
of the end? I know that the ends do not radiate well so if I go NW and SE  
would that be the best.

or 
will that decrease my signals?
