URL: From kt2t at arrl.net Wed Mar 4 07:25:02 2009 From: kt2t at arrl.net (KT2T - Mike Oliver) Date: Wed, 04 Mar 2009 15:25:02 -0000 Subject: New Weekly Net Times and Format Clarification Message-ID: Hey folks, just a note to let you know that, pursuant to the poll taken during the February 2009 club meeting, the weekly radio net time has changed from 19:30 to 19:00 start time beginning this week. This time change will stand for the foreseeable future. As far as the format goes, I am not going to impose my views about the suffix-only check-in method on anyone. If you prefer to run the net by only asking for the suffix then that's fine with me. If you prefer to ask for the entire call then that's fine as well. The important part is to be clear up-front when you start running the net and announce to all participants the format you prefer. If you don't know the full call of the majority of participants then simply hearing the suffix may not be sufficient to log the check-in and you will have to ask for the full call to complete the log entry. On the other hand, I can see where suffix-only check-ins can save some time for experienced Net Control operators. Either way, I would ask that the Net Control op do what is most comfortable for themselves and not be governed by what works best for someone else. The informality of our net will allow you to test either style and become familiar with one or both, so take advantage of this opportunity. For those of you checking in to the weekly net, please respect the wishes of the Net Control op and supply your call in the format requested, either full or suffix-only, and most importantly, please use phonetics (slowly, and repeat) if requested by your Net Control. While it is a somewhat informal net, it is still managed by a designated Net Control op and the wishes of that op need to be adhered to as much as possible. Remember, some folks are new to the Net Control op chair and/or they may be slow writers and/or may have difficulty hearing you for a variety of reasons, so please be respectful of their wishes for running the net. Checking to ensure you aren't doubling with another operator will also ease the burden on Net Control by avoiding unnecessary requests to repeat check-ins. Thanks folks, it's a pleasure serving you as net manager. 73, Mike Oliver, KT2T From nz4o at tampabay.rr.com Thu Mar 5 10:16:49 2009 From: nz4o at tampabay.rr.com (nz4o at tampabay.rr.com) Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2009 13:16:49 -0500 Subject: NZ4O Daily LF/MF/HF/6M Frequency Radiowave Propagation Forecast #2009-06 Message-ID: <75F5C14F79164EED975D8A5210D758AD@YOUR5BFDF7BC50> The NZ4O Daily LF/MF/HF/6M Frequency Radiowave Propagation Forecast #2009-06 has been published on Thursday 03/05/2009 at 1800 UTC, valid 0000 UTC Saturday 03/07/2009 through 2359 UTC Friday 03/13/2009 at http://www.kn4lf.com/kn4lf6.htm . 73 & GUD DX, Thomas F.

Chief Boatner of the Lakeland Police Dept. has personally requested our help for their Open House event on Saturday, March 21st. First let me say that this department as well as others within the city has done a lot to help our club. They have never asked us for anything that wasn't beneficial for all concerned. We will need to have the EOC operational and a portable station set-up in the parking lot. This can be more fun than work with enough hands sharing the task. At this time I am unsure of the hours for this event but will find out soon. They are expecting 1500-2000 guests. This is also the day for exams at 0900 where I will be along with Jim AI4LE and Mike KT2T. I will help out with setting up before that begins as well as afterwards. Please give this request serious consideration and reply with your intentions here. I believe that this is a good work and that we will do well if all who are able will pitch in and help.

The rig is actually owned by George Mann, KJ4UW. I was not aware of any plans by George to dispose of it.

At last count, registration is running even with last year's count with a couple additional weeks of sign-up available. The BikeMS Committee is putting a big push on Biker Registration in the coming week in an effort to surpass last year's participant count and, of course, donations to fight MS. Evans Mitchell-KD4EFM is hosting a BikeMS meeting this coming Thursday evening at the old Bartow Air Base between Winter Haven and Bartow. The meeting begins at 6:30 PM. I will have the latest information for attendees on the event at that time. I will also be plugging in volunteers into the Assignment Sheet in the next couple weeks. We can then take a look at where we need any assignments filled. Paul Wonble at Polk County Emergency Management will be checking out the BOK Tower site this week for the Mobile Command Vehicle which Polk Co. EM is, once again, allowing us to use for Net Control operations. I have also been told that some improvements with the 444.950 repeater will allow a smoother, more responsive Echolink tie with the 443.100 repeater in Kissimmee during the event. We will also have three radio-equipped Hams on bicycles during this year's event. Jason-KD4ACG, Dana-K4LK and Greg-NU4R will be Bicycle Mobile and reporting in from time to time.

It has the latitude of a solar cycle 24 sunspot group. It appears to be a reemergence of the sunspot group that first appeared at N26E51 on Sunday March 22, 2009. As has been the norm as of late it remains to be seen if it survives long enough for NOAA/SWPC to assign it a number, which would be #10115. 73 & GUD DX, Thomas F.
