The purpose of doing this is to ensure that there is always a way to determine how to get to the materials in the event of emergency and in the event that key personnel may not be available. The information is now posted on the website under "WARC's Wiki!" and then under "Emergency Communications". It says that the Winona Knitting Mills complex facilities maintenance staff can provide access to the club property 24/7. Their 24/7 phone number is listed on the wiki. The property consists of feedlines, antenna guys, stakes, and some other items. There is a club project open to review the property and organize it better.

But here is 100' of 9 conductor ribbon cable. http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail?name=MB09R-100-ND You can pretty easily tear four conductors off to get what you need. You can type "ribbon cable" into Digi-Key's search box and it has a parametric search that will help you find what you need. Be sure to check the "in stock" box next to search.

See details below. /// Greetings OMs and YLs Please mark your calendars for the first. several told us of conflicting dates, and we avoided them. Hopefully this date will work out for everyone else in the area. Also please put the word out to our neighbors. everyone is welcome there will be a door prize, and at least one silent auction I believe it is a dual bander. Place is the church of Christ's building at 3506 South 28th, which is located right behind Woodrufs Funeral Home, which is across the street from the Ace Hardware store. Time is 8:00 AM till you get full of coffee which is being furnished. Figure that to be about noon or one ish : ) OR later if you so desire. Cost will be whatever you are willing to part with buying all the goodies you can take home without getting into too much trouble with your better half... Tail gating is welcome, and we'll have a bunch of chairs so you can visit with some friends you've not seen in a while... See you there 73 Bill _______________________________________________ LaCrosseHams mailing list -- LaCrosseHams@qth.com http://mail.qth.com/mailman/listinfo/lacrossehams_qth.com Visit our Web Page: http://www.lacrossehams.org Mailing list and Web Site Courtesy of: http://www.qth.com From jarvis at jarviscomputer.com Mon Oct 13 14:01:32 2008 From: jarvis at jarviscomputer.com (Clare Jarvis) Date: Mon Oct 13 14:03:02 2008 Subject: [WARC] Sunspot Number 16 ????

What you should really do is this: 1. Go buy a couple rolls of 100 ft hookup wire. Black is good, but red is nice if you are trying to convince the xyl that you are actually doing the Christmas decorations early rather than putting up "another antenna". 2. Get out your soldering iron and solder and connect all of the screen windows in your house. (You can also connect the ones standing in your garage to those on the house. 3. Connect the final end to the Johnson Matchbox that you should have bought last time one came up on ebay 4. Fire up a radio. Set it to 28.5. 5. Call CQ. (use either cw or voice-it makes no difference) optional 6. Because most houses have four basic directions, and because the screen windows on the house are vertically oriented, with some additional wire and additional soldering it is possible to construct phased verticals. (the dimensions of most houses approximate the ideal separation of the vertical elements). In actuality, even more directional gain and front-to-back can be obtained by using the screens inside the garage as a third element.

This has been sent to hams in Wabasha County and some hams in neighboring counties who might be interested in using/ knowing about/ being warned of the repeater. To find out when testing is being done just check on the Wabasha 2m. repeater 146.745- (136.5) and give a shout. I will be testing it off and on over the next few weeks starting with just sending a video only test pattern/ID for alignment and range checking purposes. Will only be running about 20 W. for now. Will add the audio after I have the exciter/amp combo properly adjusted. For now am using vertical polarization into part of a diamond 700 antenna at about 140 feet on the tower above Reads Landing. "Part" meaning this is most of what was left after lightning took of the top a couple years ago and we replaced it with the new antenna. Also, the 1/2" heliax is old and will be upgraded when everything is done being tested. This was courtesy of Tony, W0IU, and is about the fourth repeater it has done duty on. For those not familiar with ATV, this is "regular TV", not slow scan. Real NTSC, 525 line, 30 frame per second, color TV (sorry not hidef; not even stereo). This will be an "in-band" repeater with receive and transmit sites at first just separated by about 90 feet on the tower, then as we go to higher power they will be on two towers about two miles apart with the receive site on Roger's, KI0F, tower. Will use a link frequency between them on 900 or 1200 MHz as well as probably other in/out frequencies in those bands as needs arise. Repeater input frequency will be 420-426 MHz (video carrier at 421.25) and output at 438-444MHz (video carrier at 439.25)(Yes, I know that sounds backwards from some other states but it's right). Again, the polarization will be vertical unless we end up QRM-ing any 70. cm. FM repeaters with their outputs in the 442-444 MHz portion of the band. The only close ones to here are: Red Wing 442.25 and Waseca 442.30 which are not close to our color burst frequency of about 442.83 and pretty far out from the main video carrier at 439.25 so as to assure that our video signal is not likely to carry much energy at that frfequency unless photographing someone in a herring-bone suit. The sound subcarrier will be at about 443.740-443.760 (ya, kinda wide) and this should not bother Austin voice at 443.50; Albert Lea at 443.525; MAYBE Waseca though at 443.75; not other Waseca at 443.825; nor Rochester nor Winona at higher yet output voice frequencies. Durand, WI is physically the closest but at 443.40 should not be a problem. PLEASE REPORT ANY POSSIBLE CONCERNS ABOUT QRM TO ME. I THINK I HAVE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT ALL POSSIBLE FREQUENCY PROBLEMS INCLUDING THIRD HARMONIC INTERACTIONS FROM TWO METER MACHINES, SECOND AND HIGHER HARMONICS (KINDA "HIGHER ORDER SIDEBANDS") OF OUR OWN COLOR BURST AND AUDIO SUBCARRIERS ETC. WASECA MIGHT BE THE ONLY PROBLEM AND WE CAN ALWAYS CHANGE POLARITY OR USE A DIRECTIONAL PATTERN TO OUR ANTENNA OR, HEAVEN FORBID, LOWER OUR TRANSMIT POWER. I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT WE WILL GET A SIGNAL THAT FAR ANYWAY ...BUT....IT MIGHT POSE A PROBLEM FOR SOMEONE IN SOMEPLACE LIKE WANAMINGO WHO WANTS TO USE THAT 70.cm. MACHINE IN WASECA WHO IS BEING QRMed BY OUR SOUND SUBCARRIER. Then again, what are the odds of those needs having to be met at the same time??? I will keep a log of all test times/power levels and such to help sort out interference issues. For those of you (ALL OF YOU?) who do not have ATV receiving equipment you CAN pick this signal up by using a "cable-ready" TV tuned to CABLE CHANNEL 60 but hooking an outside antenna to the TV antenna terminals. My first few experiments comparing a typical outdoor tv yagi (horizontal pol.) with a simple vertical 440 MHz antenna showed the vertical worked better. You could always twist your yagi 90 degrees so the elements are vertical of course but I will pass along some cheap solutions later. Note that the tuners for the "cable channels" in most tv's are not very sensitive as they only need to receive a quite strong signal on the cable and not a weak signal through the air so you do not get very good reception this way. More later on cheap preamp.s and such. By the way, you will be able to monitor your neighbor ham working INTO the repeater on cable channel 57. Our (ham's) signals could always get into the "CABLE SYSTEM" and interfere with the programming they have on "our" frequencies but I'm sure they will just take any of that interference as a demonstration that they need to upgrade their coax! 73, Jon WA0UNB From jonmcpete at cpinternet.com Sat Oct 18 02:54:53 2008 From: jonmcpete at cpinternet.com (jonmcpete@cpinternet.com) Date: Sat Oct 18 02:54:58 2008 Subject: [WARC] Wabasha ATV email copy of 10/11/08 Message-ID: <48f94ffd.359.109d.888478954@cpinternet.com> Copy of email responsing to request for info on ATV: Steve, The quickest source of info I have found is at: http://www.hamtv.com/ They have educational info as well as selling equipment at the best prices. There are other dealers also who are good. I will put together a list sometime. Close by is the publisher of ATVQ (Amateur Television Quarterly) in Rockford, Ill. They sell some equipment but have a lot of books, etc. as well as the magazine. I have all but three issues from the 20 years they have published as well as all the US books and one British book if anyone wants to reference anything such as "build-it" projects. They are at: http://www.hampubs.com/ On a sad note, the owner was recently diagnosed with a slowly terminal condition (ALS) and may have to stop publishing. Some ATV repeaters have been coordinated in Minnesota in the past. "Coordinated" means given the approval of the state Repeater Council so that, while hams can use any ham frequencies they want, this offers some degree of protection from interference. For instance if someone else wanted to set up a 2 m. FM repeater on the same frequency pair as we use in Wabasha they can do so but if they cause us interference THEY must take action to eliminate it, not us. This coordination "stamp of approval" has some qualifiers like "significant" interference. etc. You can't shut down the "NON-coordinated" repeaters that interfere only when a band opening occurs for instance. The ATV repeaters that have arisen in the past have fallen by the wayside due to lack of use. At this point the nearest ones are one in the north Metro area (about half way across I-694); one not on the air since I have been involved about in the Cottage Grove area of the south-east Metro; Wausau; Wisconsin Dells area; there used to be one (at least a coordination was issued) in LaCrosse and I think Owatonna or Waseca both more than ten years ago I believe. Why this one now? Equipment is getting CHEAPER. Best receiver money can buy is a $150. down-converter and an old TV (NOT need to be cable-ready if you have the down-converter or just a good $50 pre-amp ahead of a cable-ready TV.) Very good transmitter can be had for $60-$150. Antennas are cheap or easily home-brewed. Any source of video/audio will do to transmit: A $20 "mini-cam" and a $4 mic works fine or play back a VCR tape or camcorder into the transmitter. Some of the camera/mic/low-power transmitter units weigh less than the AA cells to run them and can be mounted on Radio-Controlled aircraft, on a "hard-hat", certainly in a vehicle, etc. Take up as much space as a HT but put out enough signal to hit the repeater which then spreads it out over a 20,30,??? mile radius. Great for public service events, disasters (law enforcement can see the "scene" right from the Law Enforcement Center, SKYWARN spotting ("Is it a tornado or not?" Let the NWS see what you are looking at in the field!), or just rag-chew from home and let people see your dog do tricks. Also, hopefully with the shift to digital TV, a TON of old analog/NTSC TV equipment will be CHEAP; both receiving and transmitting. Those TV stations won't need that junk any more! Hams can have fun playing with it!! There is a limited amount of ham spectrum space also so I figured we better "stake a claim" on the best frequencies before others get the idea. For this terrain, the lower the frequency the better and 70 cm. is the lowest and our input frequency (420-426 MHz) is the lowest frequency you can legally put an NTSC signal on. Our output frequency (438-444 MHz) is the next lowest that will not interfere with our own reception. The above mentioned repeaters use split bands as transmit and receive are on the same tower so you go in on 440/out on 903 for instance. This means users need antennas for two bands, etc. With Roger's (KI0F) and my towers as far apart as they are we can go "in-band" and have the best frequencies for both transmit and receive with a one-way link/relay between the two up on those microwave frequencies. The two towers are line-of-sight so this part is easy. In places such as Twin Cities they can't even put up a reasonable tower; they have to rent space on one and to rent space on two would really be expensive. I will include the above info in my next "mass emailing" so excuse the duplication then but others probably would be interested too.

To all, Ran some tests tonight of the repeater transmitter and am quite happy. I have not tuned or tweaked anything in the way of adjustments to the exciter nor 20. W. amplifier. Just ran them "out of the box" (actually they have sat on a shelf for 3-4 years) into the previously mentioned old coax and damaged antenna. Received excellent signals (broadcast quality) monitoring it mobile with an omnidirectional but 7. dBd gain vertical out to 12 miles and readable (viewable) snowy signals out to 16 miles but lost the color about then. By my calculations my goal of very good mobile coverage (full quieting audio and good color) out to Rochester and stationary (30 foot tower with a "tv antenna sized beam") coverage out to 60 miles is very achievable. The audio quality on these things is great, ya got almost as much bandwidth to play with as an FM broadcast station.

This is backwards from what is done in many states but was done for a reason. This is what it is COORDINATED for but that does not mean that it cannot have other input/output frequencies ALSO in this or other bands but they would not be coordinated, that is "protected" to some extent. As long as they do not interfere with others' use of those other frequencies they could be used. We could easily add other receive frequencies at the receive site and just use a controller that prioritizes them there or else use multiple link frequencies, one for each receive frequency and prioritize or even select remotely which to repeat. Commercial controllers often have 3-4 inputs and you could select by DTMF via the ATV audio channel, by a second audio channel on the link (they have two), or via the 2 m. repeater input as is in the same shack. First just want to get what was coordinated up and running by the end of the year then add the bells and whistles. It IS HARD TO RESIST putting out a 903. MHz output though when you have a spare low power 903. ATV transmitter and a spare 10.mW in/25. W. out linear amp sitting around!

Clare de K0NY From tpterson at charter.net Mon Oct 27 15:17:00 2008 From: tpterson at charter.net (terry peterson) Date: Mon Oct 27 15:17:29 2008 Subject: [WARC] Contents of fieldday box Message-ID: <0854943B037345D48B06456A9E9266C4@presario> Hello everyone: Friday AM Ken and I emptied the box so that an inventory could be done. Many years of accumulation were layered. The following types of stuff were found: Coax: RG-8-abt 50ft with PL259s RG-213-abt 50-75 ft with PL259s Hardline-1/2 to3/4 diam. perhaps 25ft Electrical Power strips- three medium duty orange extension cords- two or three heavy duty jobsite grade cords- bundled set of three 50 to 60 feet for K= en's three phase generator. He took home. Three more of the same- 50 to 60 feet -All of these are 14-3 wire size = Portable light set- made from solid conductor no 14 wire- this was a mess w= ith no practical way to store. Bulbs were removed and the rest was junked. Antenna stuff Foldover tower base with heavy steel stakes- for twr at Clare's house Six auger type guy anchors Three old copper wire dipoles of various lenghts. Determined unsalvagebl= e, insulators removed and coiled for recycling Guy wire set- set of three heavy stiff wire attached to a center collar,= perhaps for a push up pipe 10 conductor cable , abt 100ft, with large connector, may have been used= for rotator on tower. Hy Gain balun, suitable for HF beam antenna or dipole Mesc. Motorola Micor VHF radio Tarps- one lg. and one sm. All this is available for examination at the site that is open during busin= ess hours. Stuff was left out but could be repacked, removed or taken for recycling. I am sure that the bulky wire could go to the "yard".
