There is an above normal chance for severe weather today in the form of torrential rainfall (>2" per hour), large hail (>.88") and straight line wind gusts of 60 mph+. The worst of the weather should be inland and then along the east side of the peninsula during the late afternoon. With cold air (-11 deg. C) at the mid levels (18,000 feet) of the atmosphere lot's of numerous close lightning strikes are probable. So ground those antennas! Unfortunately I'm leaving for Gainesville at 9:00 am this morning for medical treatment so will have to drive through the bad weather. Take Care, Thomas F.

Cold fronts and trailing polar high pressure centers move across New England and then out into the Atlantic Ocean. The polar high's merge with the semi-permanent Bermuda high's and the dry air moves into Florida from the NE.

On Monday a new solar cycle 24 sunspot group emerged in the NE quadrant of the Sun at N22E07. NOAA/SWPC assigned it #11020. It has a beta magnetic signature and is capable of producing B class solar flares. The down side is that the sunspot group appears to be short lived, as most solar cycle 24 sunspot groups have been. 73 & GUD DX, Thomas F.

The change in net time from 19:30 to 19:00 is conflicting with my personal obligations to the point where I can't reliably join, host, or cover as Net Control Operator (N.C.O.) should a scheduled N.C.O. become otherwise unavailable. Consequently, I would like to solicit the group for a replacement Net Manager for the weekly LARC 2m & Traders Net. Going forward, I can still maintain the N.C.O. calendar/schedule on the LARC web site via email updates from the Net Manager, or I can create a calendar database here on the Yahoo group (same as we have for the VE sessions). If you would be interested in taking over this responsibility then please contact me directly via email , not as a reply to this message on the LakelandARC Yahoo group. Thanks for your time and consideration. 73, Mike Oliver, KT2T -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I've read about the Tigertronics package. There is also a cable option, but I hear this might be problematic with the icom 7000. I'm told for reliable operation a relay has to be installed in addition to the switching transistor. It is my understanding that the Tigertronics eliminates all this fuss. Is the latter the one you use and recommend? I don't remember seeing this unit in your demo. There was a lot going on, and I could have easily missed it. I seem to remember some cables and a part from Radio Shack. I would still like to chat about how you do PSK31 and any other digital modes you use. I will see Ernie and Mike this morning at the VE session. I will pick their brains too. Bill PS sorry for not getting back sooner. Things have been a bit crazy lately. :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Murray To: LakelandARC at yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2009 8:07 AM Subject: [LakelandARC] Re: PSK31 for Bill Hi Bill Glad to help with your PSK31. My 1st question is how are you using your mic for PSK31? For starters I suggest that you look at the Signalink USB interface at http://www.tigertronics.com/slusbmain.htm Woks great and allows for most data modes. Please reply direct to me so that I can go direct to your email. Jim AB4JM Jim, I have a couple questions for you on PSK31. Your presentation gave me the itch. I resurrected an old PC and have it standing by my icom 7000. I am able, via the mic to copy PSK31, but I have a few questions for you. :-) Bill KI4ZMV, 853-8543 I know you will give it your best shot. :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.

Recent medical appointments for all three of us has interfered with my club participation. I go through cycles where I'm feeling pretty good then cycles where I'm feeling pretty bad and am currently in one of the bad cycles. I was aware of LARC going back to the late 1990's but didn't join because of the health issues.

There are so many reasons for a delivery failure that I can barely enumerate them, but it does highlight that email should *NOT* be considered a bulletproof method of communication and if you don't get a response from one or two messages then a quick phone call will resolve nearly any issue. For some reason, the Internet-using population has a belief that email has some intrinsic guarantee of delivery and while it's true that you can request delivery and read receipts for email, those options typically aren't on my default. Even so, you don't know that the recipient hasn't gone out of town on vacation, had their computer stolen, lost their Internet access via a rogue backhoe, etc. I am sad to hear that you won't be at Field Day and equally sad to become aware of your medical conditions that have prevented you from enjoying the hobby and club. I would implore you not to be hasty in ceasing your LARC membership over something as trivial as email miscommunication, and to that end I will also be following up with a phone call to you since I do not depend on email for critical communications. Please reconsider your decision to part ways with the LARC as I know it would be a great loss for the club. I can't pretend to know how you value the club, but I do know that I value YOUR contributions to the club and we are better off with you here.

Now I don't know the real reason you would choice to leave LARC and that isn't my business nor will I try to get that out of you. But I will tell a story. My ex-wife and I thought at one time leaving LARC too do to an Ex LARC Prez. We were taked out of it and I for one am glad I didn't walk away. We all have our days good and bad. You worked very hard to become a Ham and joining LARC you know you made a lot of good friends, some of I'm sure you don't want to out of your life now. I feel at times what good am I for the club now, I have no car, I haven't been to a club meeting or club event all this year. I'm missing out on Feild Day this year for not having a way out there. And that bout kills me. I have been to the last 3 of them sence I became a ham in dec 05. I have a blast at each one of them. Now I used the reason of no car, but I could still jump a city bus in the moring and be out there. So that leave me to my next and biggest reason I'm not able to make club meetings and events. I have a 25 year old handicapp son living with me and I have tryed taking him to club meetings and events, but he is a distraction to the club, that hurts me in many of ways. but I will not leave the club. now back to my first reason, this is why I'm giving my time to be net controler one week each month for the year. So from what little I do know from reading the emails on the yahoo group I ask for you not to leave LARC over a couple of unanswer emails. Mike/KT2T in his email to you explains a lot of reason the emails may have gone unanswered. Erine/KG4YNI is a very busy guy but I know he trys to help and answer any and all things that come his way. Please give him another email or a?phone call and I'm sure you two can work out any misunderstanding or lost contacts with one other. Let me try to answer your question?on what time for saturday feild day. You may show up at anytime to help out and your help will be more then gladly. I showed up last year at?5:30am and the show starts at 2:pm. Please go and have FUN FUN FUN ? 73 de George/KI4NBE --- On Fri, 6/26/09, Thomas F. Giella NZ4O wrote: From: Thomas F.

What time are you guys going to arrive at the pavilion on Saturday morning? I want to come up and help set up. The weather for tomorrow looks pretty bad but Saturday and Sunday look more normal but still stormy at times, especially late morning through mid afternoon. 73 & GUD DX, Thomas F.

I want to apologize for my lack of participation in the club activities as of late. I am a 100% rated disabled veteran and my wife and adult daughter are also disabled. Recent medical appointments for all three of us has interfered with my club participation. I go through cycles where I'm feeling pretty good then cycles where I'm feeling pretty bad and am currently in one of the bad cycles. I was aware of LARC going back to the late 1990's but didn't join because of the health issues. For the foreseeable future we will be getting treatment in Gainesville on Saturday's so will not be available for VE duties and Field Day. Hopefully I will be able to make the next club meeting in July. 73 & GUD DX, Thomas F.

Message-ID: <1A8B8EC6A0C54355AEAAB6C3B423CD04@kd4efmsvr> Good morning one and all, Not to kick in the GET READY alarm, but I along with several other people, have been mauling over storm 93L for some sort of before action preparedness. (one of 15 sites I frequent the most) http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/ Some if not all of the usual blog sites have mixed thoughts on what this storm is going to do once it passes the Yucatan Peninsula. Right now, Hurricane Hunter Aircraft are slatted to go visit this storm on Sunday. NHC is calling a possible path towards Florida when it makes a motional turn towards the East North East around Wednesday, with a week long track to July 5 with it estimated to be near the Florida Gulf Coast Line within 100 miles of the Tampa Bay Area. *LET ME STATE, this is 12 days out and NO "CONE OF PROBABILITIES" has been established, again, NO STRIKE ZONES ARE BEING CALLED AT THIS TIME. THINGS CHANGE AND PROBABLY WILL CHANGE EACH DAY. ALL INTERESTS FROM TEXAS TO THE FLA KEYS NEEDS TO MONITOR THIS SYSTEM! If it does take a turn towards the East, then obviously Florida is going to be the grounds for action. Once this storm enters into the Gulf, the chances of it ramping up are good (60 percent chance of it becoming TS ANA) which means ANA will be the first NAMED STORM of the season. **THAT IS IF IT SURVIVES THE YUCATAN AREA!** SO, with this in mind, I ask everyone to enjoy their July 4th weekend as I will be in North Carolina on Vacation for the weekend and returning July 6th, and hopefully I will not be coming into a weak Cat 1 or Heavy TS ANA.... Chow for now, but keep your ears open for further developments. NOTES for Amateur Radio Operators: VOIP-WX NET: Rob will be posting anything that comes up on his end.
