This FMT will > begin on Wednesday, May 21 at 9:45 PM (EDT) (that's the same as 0145 > UTC on May 22), replacing W1AW's normally scheduled phone bulletin. > W1AW Station Manager Joe Carcia, NJ1Q, recommends that those > planning to participate should listen to W1AW transmissions prior to > the event to determine which band -- or bands -- will be best for > measurement purposes. > > For this FMT, participants are asked to measure the frequency of an > audio tone, given an exact frequency for the carrier signal. The > tone will be between 1000-2500 Hz. The carrier frequencies will be > 3990 kHz (LSB), 7290 kHz (LSB), 14290 kHz (USB) and 18160 kHz (USB). > > The techniques for measuring a modulating tone are described in the > November 2004 QST in an article on the Frequency Measuring Test by > H. Ward Silver, N0AX. The article can also be found at, > http://www.arrl.org/w1aw/fmt/2004/04fmtsilver.pdf. The FMT Web page > also has several interesting articles about measuring on-the-air > signal frequencies. > > The FMT will start with a general QST call from W1AW at exactly 0145 > UTC, transmitted simultaneously on the frequencies listed above. The > test will consist of three 60-second key down transmissions for each > band, followed by a station identification. The test will last for > approximately 15 minutes and will end with station identification. > W1AW will identify before, during and after the transmissions. There > are no plans at this time for a West Coast station. > > As in the November 2007 FMT, your report should be submitted via the > FMT Report form web site at, http://www.b4h.net/fmt/fmtentry.php. > Along with your call sign and e-mail address, enter your most > accurate measurement on each band. There will be a window to list > your equipment, describe the method you used to make the > measurements and enter any Soapbox comments. Participants have 14 > days to input their data. Participants may input their data more > than once, although the final entry will be the one used for the > results. > > W1AW will post the transmitted frequencies on the W1AW FMT Web site > shortly following the test. This will allow participants to quickly > determine the accuracy of their equipment and methods. A complete > package of results will be available via the FMT Web site after the > 14-day reporting period is concluded. > > The results from the November 2007 FMT are available on the 2007 FMT > Results Web site at, http://www.b4h.net/fmt/fmtresults200711.php . > NNNN > /EX > >
