As far as reporting, all hail of any size should still be reported. When reporting hail be sure to use a standard recognized by all such as coins, golf ball, baseball etc. (not marbles). Also be sure to report the largest hail stone observed. Dan, WK0W. At 11:36 AM 3/31/2009 -0500, Len Litvan wrote: >There was a good Storm Spotter training session in St. Charles yesterday >evening.

NOT. Oh well, at least I have heat out in the shed. It could be far worse. Just think how good it will feel when it finally does improve! Look forward to another good net tonight. I'm still having some noise, mostly when I look toward Iowa. I may rely on the stronger stations to relay some folks, so keep your ears open. I had some folks last week who were calling me when I wasn't looking their way. This was in 3 different states, so I'm not picking on any one person. :) I can happily say I'm glad so many are hearing me! I want to hear from all of you, and not miss anyone, so please read the advice below. It's a good idea to wait until you hear me peak up on you, before dropping your call multiple times. When you call "out of order" (said with a smile) it makes me swing the beam in a direction I'm not ready to. It also can make it so other stations that are trying to hear me cannot, because all they hear is you calling. If everyone trying to check into a net all called at once on the same freq. it would be a mess. I always announce where I'm pointed, and I never swing away from a specific direction until I've called at least 2 or 3 times. I also swing my beams only 10-15 degrees at a time, so there's plenty of opportunity to check in. If you can hear me, then you can probably hear me well enough to know I say, "now looking toward Rockford, Peoria, St. Louis" Or, "now looking toward the Quad Cities and NE MO" Or, "now looking toward Madison and Dubuqe". "Looking toward La Crosse and the IA/MN state line area." You get the picture. I know it can be frustrating waiting for me to peak up on your specific location, so I appreciate your patience. Being smart about this will especially become important as we head into summer, and we get busier with better propagation. Any questions or comments, I'll be happy to help. 73, Todd KC9BQA EN63ao 40 N of Milwaukee 50 thru 2304 From sprinkies at excel.net Thu Apr 2 11:59:10 2009 From: sprinkies at excel.net (Todd Sprinkmann) Date: Thu Apr 2 11:59:38 2009 Subject: [WARC] 144.240 SSB net -- 10 check-ins Message-ID: <2148A11A9EF840F88DF763E50E57D722@sprinkma35adeb> Good morning, We had 10 check-ins to the net last night.

I've known for some time that I would need a website to serve as the "newspaper". Wanting to contact dozens of new hams at AES Superfest last weekend also spurred me into taking action on the new website. I can't keep emailing 7, 8, 9, 10 different groups several times each week. Having a website will save me time. So please visit www.kc9bqa.com and see this week's SSB net announcement. You can also find the net report up there, the day after the net. Of course, we'll still have contest talk when applicable. In fact, there's a report about the 2 meter Spring Sprint from last night that I posted an hour ago. Like I said, I will continue making announcements here, but they will direct you to my new website. There, you will find expanded thoughts and ideas. I also encourage you to leave feedback. 73, Todd KC9BQA EN63ao 40 N of Milwaukee 50 thru 2304 From jbrown at luminet.net Wed Apr 8 15:40:14 2009 From: jbrown at luminet.net (Jim Brown) Date: Wed Apr 8 14:40:08 2009 Subject: [WARC] Field Day Message-ID: <873A4A18D0B84B188F2BE129C41487E4@cankay.local> Is the club planning on having FD at the Sportsmans Club?

I saw Les's response to you, but never saw your original message. We were looking at holding the club field day activity at a site more accessible to the public in order to help achieve some of the related ARRL (and WARC) objectives of field day. Walt related to me that prior attempts to attract the public and others (elected officials, etc.) to prior field day sites in Winona proper had been unsuccessful. I took a look at Garvin Heights last week and was not impressed with the space available. There had been a suggestion that the club consider moving to the MN Equestrian Center--which has good height and is a little more accessible than the Sportsmen's Club. Haven't been there yet to check it out discuss it with the management. I will not be traveling this week and will get some direction on this subject by the club meeting Thursday. Thanks for your patience. Wish I'd known about your e-mail this morning. We could have discussed it over breakfast.

Apparently the town of St. Charles is being evacuated towards Lewiston. Clare K0NY contacted the EOC asking if assistance is needed. I don't believe he got a request. I left a voicemail with Chris Humbolt at Red Cross with Clare and my contact information. I would urge you to pack your go bag, check the charge on your radio batteries, and be prepared to potentially be called out. Please monitor the 146.64- repeater. The 146.64- repeater should be reachable from Lewiston with 5 watts and a handheld. It will not easily be reachable from St. Charles with a handheld, but will work with a mobile. Please remember that your HT battery life on high power will be very short. Clare is headed to Lewiston to see if he can be assistance. I am currently in my office and can provide coordination where required. Clare's cell phone number is 450-8750 and my cell phone is 313-1015. www.winonadailynews.com seems to have the most up to date reporting. -- -James Jefferson Jarvis APRS World, LLC +1-507-454-2727 www.aprsworld.com From tom at galesvillefiredepartment.org Fri Apr 17 21:28:16 2009 From: tom at galesvillefiredepartment.org (Tom Peterson) Date: Fri Apr 17 21:28:30 2009 Subject: [WARC] St Charles Video Feed Message-ID: <49E8F470.8070508@galesvillefiredepartment.org> http://kstp.com/news/stories/S884354.shtml?cat=1 From Litvan at acegroup.cc Sat Apr 18 11:10:57 2009 From: Litvan at acegroup.cc (Len Litvan) Date: Sat Apr 18 11:11:02 2009 Subject: [WARC] St. Charles Fire - Congratulations to All Who Assisted Message-ID: <49E9B541.1090208@acegroup.cc> A big thank you and congratulations to all who were able to assist with emergency communications on Friday afternoon and evening.

I generally record the audio from the fire frequency we use here and often employ it for various trainings or post-incident reviews within the department.

Actually that is pretty old stuff. I was one of many that had a DSY
modem working in 1998 over a 120+ mile path.

The modem:
http://www.wa4dsy.net/rfmodem.html

Some other hardware available at the time was the Gracilis Packeten.
Any Linux box can have the TCP/IP stack added (if it is not there by
default) with a kernel recompile. Fedora 9 has at least one ax25 driver
in place.

One place for more info:

If you visit it 2-4 times a week, you'll get all the info you're used to getting. If I were you, I'd start making plans already for your summer VHF/UHF contesting. June ARRL VHF is 2nd weekend of June. Then it's Field Day (no reason not to fire up on VHF/UHF in FD). July brings you the CQ WW VHF Contest -- 6 and 2 meters only. That July CQ WW VHF contest is probably the best contest around for a lot of us. First weekend of August has the ARRL UHF contest. 2nd weekend of September has the ARRL VHF/UHF. Just like the June contest, that's a BIG one. Look for the website to have a lot more contesting tips and information in May. I'll make sure to post a calendar, alone with some of my personal observations after 6 years of contesting. I'd also encourage each one of you who cares to do more to promote VHF/UHF in general, and yes, to promote better turnouts in the contests. When I do this alone, it's good. When many of you help spread the word, it ends up being great. On other areas of the internet, I see a fair amount of whining and moaning about VHF/UHF going downhill. This annoys me to absolutely no end. BUT... but... here's the thing that really bugs me. If just 30 or 50% of the complainers instead actually DID something to improve the hobby, we'd be so much better off. So ol' KC9BQA is going to concentrate on improving VHF/UHF. I'm going to run weekly nets designed to get folks on the air. In season, I'm also going to promote VHF/UHF contesting because I believe more folks need to give it a try. As well as try getting on the air with whatever equipment they have. I'm going to continue to encourage you to help. If you can, go right ahead. VHF/UHF is a backyard and regional thing, so even one person can make a big difference. I hope weather permits for our nets tonight. If there's a problem, I'll announce on the website. In fact, I'll announce either way. 73, Todd KC9BQA EN63ao 40 N of Milwaukee 50 thru 2304 www.kc9bqa.com From jarvis at jarviscomputer.com Thu Apr 30 16:24:19 2009 From: jarvis at jarviscomputer.com (Clare Jarvis) Date: Thu Apr 30 16:24:31 2009 Subject: [WARC] Red Cross Class Message-ID: <200904301124.19963.jarvis@jarviscomputer.com> The Red Cross would like the new ham classes to be held at their location Monday evenings: 6:30 - 9:30 local.
