Just a reminder about bringing VISTE donations to the meeting this evening.

Along with food canned/packaged food items, personal items like soap, tooth
brushes & paste, Q-tips, etc. would be welcomed.

Everything/anything helps!  Well, almost anything..  Canned rutabagas
probably wouldn't help...

Jim,

I asked before, but once again, do they take cash donations? If so, to whom are the checks written.

Quarter Century Wireless Association (QCWA)


For Immediate Release:

August 31, 2015


For more information contact:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hamming, it up for 90 Years!
Charles "Charlie" Hellman W2RP Licensed since 1925 Presented with Historic
90th Anniversary Award Hastings-on-Hudson, NY (August 31, 2015) Today, the
Quarter Century Wireless Association, Inc. (QCWA), an international
organization of amateur ('ham') radio operators---presented a 90 Year
Continuous Licensed Certificate Award (Serial #1) to Charles 'Charlie'
Hellman W2RP. Mr. Hellman is 105 years of age and one of the oldest living
amateur radio operators in the United States. Charlie was licensed in 1925
as a 15 year-old, and joined QCWA in 1975 and is also a member of local QCWA
Chapter 181 (Hudson Valley).

http://www.qcwa.org/w2rp-4.jpg

 

On hand to present the certificate, and represent QCWA President Ken Oelke
VE6AFO and the membership were: Treasurer Charles Tropp N2SO, Directors
Carole Perry WB2MGP and Pete Varounis NL7XM; along with QCWA Chapter 181
Secretary Mike Sturm, KA2E. Also on hand for the ceremony was Don Finkel,
WA2OQM (a friend of Charlie's). The certificate reads: "The Quarter Century
Wireless Association presents this 90th Anniversary Award to its
Distinguished Member Charles 'Charlie' Hellman, W2RP to commemorate Ninety
Years of Service as a licensed Radio Amateur".

http://www.qcwa.org/w2rp-2.jpg
Don, WA2OQM; Charles, N2SO; Pete, NL7XM, Charlie, W2RP(seated) and Carole,
WB2MGP
Mike, KA2E was the photographer for the event, his bio w/picture is at KA2E
<http://www.qcwa.org/ka2e-29125.htm> 

 

In addition to the certificate, Charlie was also presented with a letter
from QCWA president Ken Oelke VE6AFO which reads in part "I would also like
to say how proud I am that you have kept active for these many years, and to
proudly celebrate what many will not be able to achieve in their entire
lifetime. Congratulations to you on 90 years as a licensed radio amateur,
and may you enjoy many more in amateur radio!"

The information pertaining to Charlie was discovered when the QCWA
webmaster, Bob Roske N?UF, was updating member files and discovered that
Charlie was still living in New York and was certainly the oldest living
member of QCWA. In recognition of his achievement the QCWA Board of
Directors quickly voted to award Charlie the 90 year certificate, a first
for the organization.

I encourage everyone to read the page 74 article in the November issue of
QST titled ARRL Laboratory Handheld Transceiver Testing.

 

Particularly those that may be considering purchasing any of the cheap
Chinese HT's being marketed to Hams.  Just keep in mind it is the licensed
Ham operator that is responsible for the proper "legal" operation of their
radio(s).  Those that are using these cheap radios may very likely be
transmitting illegal spurious and/or harmonic radiation on NON ham
frequencies - potentially causing harmful interference to other licensed
users (public safety, commercial, & business users) which is a violation of
part 97 rules.   The old adage is true - you get what you pay for.  For
those that are considering one of these radios I would recommend saving up a
bit more $$ and purchase a new or used radio from a reputable manufacturer.

 

Caveat emptor!

 

.keep the spurs to a minimum.

 

73,

Richard

George,

 

The county 800 system does experience occasional interference.  Fortunately though the system will disable a channel that is experiencing interference until it clears.  Usually, that?s during tropo ducting and it may only effect one tower but the system will disable that particular channel throughout the entire simulcast system.  So the system users rarely ever experience any interference with their mobiles & portables because the system kind of hides it from them.

 

It?s really sad that these Chinese radios are being dumped on the US market.  Obviously, they?ve fudged the test data they submit to the FCC to be granted authorization to sell in the US.  This is a good case where the FCC should go back to testing radios themselves or have an independent lab do the testing.  Clearly, having the manufacturer submitting their own test data opens the door for falsifying the data.

 

BTW, nice cameo on ALTV George!

 

73,

Richard

Subject: Saturdays first  LARC Hamfest
Message-ID: <002601d11a49$32267150$967353f0$@tampabay.rr.com>

Thanks to all that came and participated in our first LARC Hamfest/Tailgate.


 

The event was successful and made the club some money.  We had people with
some good ideas that carried them out the day of the event.  There has been
some feedback this morning from other club's members.  A few wanted it
earlier to start at 7am but mostly that they enjoyed the event and were
impressed with our first try at this type of event.  We surprised most
everyone with free coffee and donuts.  It was a nice benefit.  They also
were impressed with our selection of door prizes.  There were no negative
comments about anything just wanted it earlier.  That stems from places like
TARC Fest that start at daybreak and it was the Tampa guys making the
suggestion.  We had hams come from Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, and Polk
counties there.  I am sure that I missed a few but will update that at the
Christmas party.  

 

Congratulations to one of our own, George Gafford, KI4NBE.  He was the big
winner getting two of the drawings and two nice gift certificates.  

 

The church was having a yard sale at the same time as the hamfest and it was
a nice addition.  Some of our people made purchases and helped their carpet
fund.  They have just put new carpet in the church and are working hard to
put the carpet money back into the general fund.  Pastor Rusty Herrington,
of Revolution Church, was pleased with the turnout and gave us a green light
for future events. 

 

Kevin Rought, N4KMR, was the driving force in this successful event.  He
spent lots of time selecting a location and seeking out the nice list of
donors for our door prizes. 

Our Vice President, Matthew Stevens, KK4FEM, his brother Andrew Stevens,
WX4AMS, were true assets in the setup operation of the event making it run
smoothly.  Several other club members were running, lifting, fetching and
doing during the whole event and it was truly a great team effort.  Thanks
to all.  Sorry if I didn't list all of the names but I am always a brain
cell short when it comes to remembering people on the spur of the moment.  I
will remember them all during the course of the next day or two.  I will
kick myself for not mentioning more. Our next on event will need even more
volunteers to fill in the gaps that we noticed this time.  We can never have
to many workers.  

 

The VE team made a good showing and gave 4 exams during the event.  We have
had another great year with our VE team.  

 

Finally to our donors.  They made all the difference in the world for our
bottom line with a special thanks to Al Sheppard, W4ZSC, and Roy Bucher,
K3YVS, with the help of Bob Siegel, WA4YFN.  

 

Thank you all,

This article is a reprint of a 1956 article that appeared in the November 1991 QST. It might be old news to many of you, but it was very helpful to me when I was trying to troubleshoot some 'odd' problems with an antenna that I had put together. All the literature that I had read while working on the project seemed to tell me how to make the antenna, but not to much about why it worked. This is the one that finally made it 'click' for me...maybe you just have to find someone to explain things to you the right way.

I think it would be great to spread the word about any other articles or resources that any of you might have run across and found helpful. If you have anything that you'd like to share with the club, please let me know, email to KK4FEM(at)arrl.net. Since we are an ARRL affiliate club, we are able to put the full text of any QST articles (new or old) on our website, blog, yahoo group, etc., as long as it is properly attributed to the source.

Especially for newer hams (like me) I think this would be helpful towards the dual goals of the 
"Continuation and extension of the amateur's proven ability to contribute to the advancement of the radio art"
and "[Expanding] the existing reservoir within the amateur radio service of trained operators, technicians, and electronics experts." (Part 97.1)

Particularly the electronics experts part :-)

So, please, if anyone has any useful information that you have found, just send it to me at KK4FEM(at)arrl.net, and we will put it on the blog and in the "files" section on the yahoo group. That way we can all learn, and keep learning from our experiences.

Matthew: I don't know what math level you are at, but in a (*resonate*) 
feed line, the voltages and currents (are not in phase with each 
other).  If you are familiar with complex numbers, it is easier to 
understand.


The conditions at any point in the feed line can be expressed a R +- JX  
Vector number. R is the resistive component and JX is the reactive 
component (a Vector Quantity)


This may sound very complicated, but once you understand it, it becomes 
simple and is the main tool for all antenna impedance matching 
calculations.


Every transmission line has a characteristic impedance (determined by 
the spacing and the material (air or plastic) separating the wires. When 
the impedance's are perfectly matched, the feed line becomes resistive 
only regardless of the length. ie Maximum power transfer.


To conclude, If you matching is *correct*, you have a *non-resonate 
(flat)* line that appears resistive, and It make no difference how long 
you feed line is.


If your matching is in-correct, your feed line becomes part of the 
radiating antenna, and the length is extremely critical.

Good afternoon!  Just received this information from Paul Womble, Polk
County Emergency Management Program Manager.

NWS Skywarn training will be held here at the EOC on Tuesday Dec 2nd at 7pm.

You can find directions for the Polk County Emergency Operations Center via
Google maps or on the POLKARES.org website.  There is no charge for this
training.  It usually lasts around 2 - 2 1/2 hours.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Get Your Feet Wet starts at 0001 Z! 
We hope to see you there. 
Details below.

Tim, AC5SH 

 

GET YOUR FEET WET ACTIVITY DAY  

One of the biggest challenges with learning to operate CW is overcoming the
"fright" of making those first contacts and learning to be comfortable in
operating the CW mode. The purpose of this FISTS activity is to provide new
or less experienced amateurs the opportunity to make CW contacts and learn
to enjoy the mode. Operating in contests, QSO parties, or DX pileups is not
a very good place to try operating CW for the first time. This activity will
provide a periodic opportunity to encourage new and inexperienced amateurs
to get on the air and practice operating CW. Hopefully many experienced CW
operators will be willing to get on the air, slow down their CW, and help
"Elmer" our new and less experienced members. 

This weekend activity is designed to provide you with the opportunity to
practice your CW operating and gain some valuable experience. 

IT IS NOT A CONTEST. 

The activity will be held on the Third Sunday of every month. Operating
times will be 0001 UTC to 2400 UTC. This activity will be conducted on the
80 and 40 meter bands, on or near the following Suggested Frequencies: 3.558
and 7.110. Suggested items for exchange are: Name, QTH, FISTS#, RST.
Remember these are the minimum items and you can exchange whatever you want
because this is not a contest. 

If you participate in a GYFW Activity, and submit a log showing a minimum of
five (5) QSO's, you will have a chance to win a gift certificate at the end
of the year. There will be two winners. The first will receive a $250 gift
certificate and the second a $150 gift certificate. A random drawing will be
held after the last GYFW Activity of 2015. Only active and life FISTS CW
Club members are eligible to win the gift certificate, and winners can
choose the amateur radio company from whom they want the gift certificate. 

When you send in your log, be sure to include some comments on your
operating experience during the event and/or send your comments to Karl N2KZ
at:
<mailto:feetwetlogs at fistsna.org?subject=FISTS%20Get%20Your%20Feet%20Wet>
feetwetlogs at fistsna.org. You can make general comments on the number of
contacts, your station setup, etc. Also supply your call sign & Fists#. Be
sure to use the Subject line: GYFW Feedback. Your comments will be listed in
the next issue of The Keynote.

All Polk ARES Members,

I will be stepping down as Polk County ARES Emergency Coordinator at the
end of this year. I promised Neil and Dee two years when I accepted the
appointment in August of 2010. It was fun so I stayed a little longer. I
want to thank all you that have accomplished so much in five short years. I
believe the basic framework is in place to continue growing into the
future. The amount of high level people that are a part of Polk County ARES
in impressive. These people are what makes the future look so good for Polk
County ARES. The continued development of relationships will allow this
growth to occur. I want to thank Polk County Emergency Management, Pete

      All Polk ARES Members,
I will be stepping down as Polk County ARES Emergency Coordinator at the end of this year. I promised Neil and Dee two years when I accepted the appointment in August of 2010. It was fun so I stayed a little longer. I want to thank all you that have accomplished so much in five short years. I believe the basic framework is in place to continue growing into the future. The amount of high level people that are a part of Polk County ARES in impressive. These people are what makes the future look so good for Polk County ARES. The continued development of relationships will allow this growth to occur. I want to thank Polk County Emergency Management, Pete McNally, Billy Abernathy, and Diane Hilliard. I especially want to thank Paul Womble for his leadership, patience,
 forthrightness, example, and financial support of ARES and of me. His constant reminder that relationships are everything in the Disaster Response business kept my focus on people and not systems. Then there are the many people who did all the work, thank you. You have accomplished much and you should rightfully be proud of your attainments. Thank you all for allowing me to serve.
Sincerely,

FYI - I discovered that once you register with Amazon Smile you MUST navigate to your amazon account via "smile.amazon.com" before you log-in in order to have your smile donation applied from your amazon purchase.  

IF you merely navigate to "www.amazon.com" to log-in, your amazon smile donation to LARC will NOT take effect subsequent to your amazon purchase. I initially thought that the smile donation preference was automatically and globally connected to your amazon account. It is not. You MUST navigate to and log in via the "smile" page. Just passing this along in case anyone else wasn't aware of this.

Subject: PL-259 -> RG-8 installation help
Message-ID: <n2t0k0+1b45vqu@YahooGroups.com>

OK... I give up.  I'm trying to install some PL-259's on some standard RG8 (not 8x or 58) cable that I just got in from the Wireman.  (They said they sell miles of this stuff.) The cable looks great. But installing the connectors is proving to be rather challenging. (Uh... let me slightly rephrase that. Impossible.)  It's been a few years since I've been on the air and had the "pleasure" of the connector installation experience. What can be so difficult? Strip the cable, screw down the connector, solder everything in, and jump up and down with joy.  A trained monkey could do it. (I think I need one ...)  But this time around something just seems different.  I tried numerous PL-259's in the junk drawer that appear to be from different mfg'rs but no luck. The problem seems to be the outer diameter of the black plastic insulation jacket on this cable. RG8 is RG8 is RG8. Yes? MAYBE I can get ONE or 2 turns of the PL-259 onto the outer plastic cable insulation, but that's it. What am I doing wrong? Doesn't matter which connector I try. And no matter how much brute force I exert no luck. The cable insulation is obviously slightly too big for the ID of the PL-259 connectors that it will accept.

I also see that there are crimp-on PL-259's available which I've never used. I've always used the traditional Amphenol UHF connectors.  Anyone have any experience using the crimp-on type?  Reliable?

 

 I'm just about ready to jump off a bridge. How difficult can this possibly be? Am I missing something here? The Youtube videos make it look so easy.  Any suggestions would be most appreciated.  My anti-depressant-rash-decision-making preventative medication runs out at midnight tonight and after that I'd rather not speculate what these connectors will drive me to do. LOL Any suggestions? 

 

 Thanks.

Bill, thanks for the phone call. Your suggestion to put a tiny drop of oil on the outer jacket at the connector seems to have done the trick. It is STILL a very snug fit. But that made a world of difference. That never dawned on me to do that. (duh) Now the 259 does not distort and deform the outer jacket as it did before. So unless you hear any yelling and hollering coming from my shack over this way, I believe that my problem has been solved. Thanks for that suggestion.

Message-ID: <n336l6+199ljk8@YahooGroups.com>

Hey everybody,

I am in the market for a 30-40' telescoping steel mast (Rohn H30-40 or similar) capable of supporting a hexbeam. Does anyone have one for sale, or know of a local supplier who's shipping charges wouldn't be higher than the cost of the mast itself? A light rotor is also in my future, so if anyone knows of one that is available any info would be appreciated.

You might consider checking the CFARG (Tampa) Hamfest at the Plant City 
Strawberry grounds, Dec 11th and 12th.
Last year, there were several in the tail gate area, and a there was a 
tower vendor in the main bldg.


I will have discount tickets, 9 dollars instead of 10 at the LARC 
Christmas party, should you want one..


Good luck

There is a guy advertising Rohn tower and poles in Orlando. I don't know him but might give it a try.

I'm going to give the Craigslist guy a call this afternoon for details.
I'll keep everyone posted, that might be a good source for tower parts.

Don, I am planning on coming to the hamfest (not a sure thing though, so
I'll probably wait to buy the tickets at the door.) I was thinking that
might be a good place to go rotor shopping...there's usually a couple guys
outside with that kind of stuff.

Thanks!

I called the guy in Orlando, and he said he's got a whole warehouse full of brand new tower sections, masts, and other Rohn parts. I'm going to stop by on my way home from Orlando on Friday and pick one up from him. I don't know if it's a tower company or what, but I'll find out more while I'm up there.

I noticed that place on Combee the other day while working in the area. Has anybody done business with them? Looked like a commercial radio installer, they might be a good parts source as well. It would be nice to know of a few places around here like that, rather than having to order everything online and pay $$$ for shipping.

These local places seem to be surprisingly hard to find online, although maybe it's just me.

 ?                      ??I'm going to give the Craigslist guy a call this afternoon for details. I'll keep everyone posted, that might be a good source for tower parts.

Don, I am planning on coming to the hamfest (not a sure thing though, so I'll probably wait to buy the tickets at the door.) I was thinking that might be a good place to go rotor shopping...there's usually a couple guys outside with that kind of stuff.

Thanks!

 ?                      Hey everybody,

I am in the market for a 30-40' telescoping steel mast (Rohn H30-40 or similar) capable of supporting a hexbeam. Does anyone have one for sale, or know of a local supplier who's shipping charges wouldn't be higher than the cost of the mast itself? A light rotor is also in my future, so if anyone knows of one that is available any info would be appreciated.

Picked up the mast today, the guy is actually affiliated with Three Star, so the prices are the same as those shown on their site. He's got a bunch of 25g in stock, 6 top sections I think. He also said he'll be getting a new inventory shipment in about 2 weeks. They can also ship down special orders from 3 star's main warehouse in Va.

Also there is a ham that lives or did live up the road from Ernie, sorry I can't remember his name or call sign that had a few ring 20g 25g tower sections, I bought a section  from him 4 or 5 years ago for I think $40.00 could ask Ernie KG4YNI  about him. 73 George KI4NBE

I'm going to stop by on my way home from Orlando on Friday and pick one up from him. I don't know if it's a tower company or what, but I'll find out more while I'm up there.

Subject: QRZ - Keyer recommendation
Message-ID: <n3dkeg+tfj6ck@YahooGroups.com>

Just got my Drake twins back from refurb and it appears that I need a recommendation for a keyer for use with my Drake T4XC xmtr. (I believe it utilizes grid-block keying.) My AccuKeyer which was my first homebrew project when I was a novice back in 1976 bit the dust today and have been using it with my Brown Brothers straight key/paddle key combo for years.   Unfortunately I have no test equipment to troubleshoot the keyer and figure it's probably time to get a new keyer.
 

 Since I've been off the air for quite a while, I could use some recommendations for a keyer that would be compatible with my Drake rig.  I will say that I AM game if someone who has some test equipment would like to take a look at my AccuKeyer with me. But otherwise I figure a new keyer is probably a good idea.
 

 Comments appreciated.

 73,
 Ed - N2TE
