Stagnant high pressure systems nearby are a good recipe for DX, especially later in the evening, overnight and well into the morning. Even if you're not into the weekly SSB nets, turn on your 2m, your 1.25cm, 70cm rigs and see what's out there. Put a CQ out there -- don't wait passively for someone else to key up. Our V/UHF bands need more activity at *ANY* time. Don't rely on me or others to do it -- take matters into your own hands. I've had a new idea rattling around in my head for a week or two. It's designed to get more hams to use our allotted spectrum. I'll be posting more details to the website later today. I hope many of you (even those who typically tune me out) will give it your attention.

Sound = familiar??? 73, Len KC0RSX =3D=3D> THE LOCAL CLUB RESOURCE = Norm Fusaro, W3IZ, shares his views on how clubs play an important role in Amateur Radio. Fusaro is Assistant Manager of the ARRL's Membership and Volunteer Programs Department. He is also the ARRL Affiliated Club/Mentor Program Supervisor. I am very fortunate to be in a position at ARRL which allows me significant interaction with our members. It is very fulfilling to be able to put a smile on someone's face by helping them find a solution to their problem, regardless of the complexity. Sometimes it is not possible to be as helpful over the telephone or with e-mail, so I will try to direct the individual to a local club where they may be able to get some side-by-side coaching. The local radio club is without a doubt the place where most of us received our ham radio education. The club is where we learned the jargon and techno-speak used on the air and where we met folks to emulate and folks whom we swore we would never be like. Everything that we know about ham radio that didn't come from a book was probably learned at club meetings or late night Field Day chats over burnt coffee. Personally, I have made many longtime friendships from my involvement in local radio clubs and I am sure many others can say this as well. Clubs, by definition, are groups of like-minded people who share a common interest. In reality a club is an eclectic assembly of individuals, each with a unique perspective of their activity. The dynamic of a club is no different than that of a large family. Think of your last family get-together and then take a look at your radio club. If everybody was the same, life would be very boring. In every club, there is the usual cast of characters who add their distinctive flavors to the stew and make things interesting. It is diversity that makes a club work well. I have seen that no matter how varied the personalities are in a club, most of these personalities are also eager to help. Helping each other is characteristic of radio amateurs. How often have you experienced something like this? Two hams will be in QSO -- perhaps discussing an antenna installation or radio repair -- when another radio operator will break in with a helpful suggestion. This situation may have happened to you, or you may have even been the breaking station. The same thing happens (or should happen) at club meetings. If you need help with something, the closest resource is your local club. On the surface, the club may appear to be dysfunctional, but once you are involved, you will find that it is actually very productive. = The Pareto principle, commonly known as the 80-20 rule is a simple expression that 80 percent of the effects come from 20 percent of the causes. As applied in the business world, this would be 80 percent of the sales are driven by 20 percent of the customers. In a club, the percentages may be slightly different, but the fact remains that a small percentage of the membership is responsible for making things happen. This is not to suggest that 80 percent of the members do not participate, but without a "sparkplug," some things would never get started. These people are the doers. The doers don't take no for an answer and are always willing to take on more responsibility. But where is the fun in jump-starting a project without someone telling you it would never work? Of course, it would be much more fun without the negative comments, but that goes against human nature. Ever since man tried to open a coconut with a rock, someone was right beside him offering a thousand excuses why it won't work: "You'll smash your thumb." "The rock will break." "You should invent a wheel and roll it over the coconut." "Let's just eat the bananas." The cynics of the world are an essential part of society -- and of our clubs. They challenge us and make us work harder to prove them wrong. Learn to accept these people but never let them distract you from moving forward. You only get as much from a club as you put into it. A majority of the club bashers tend to be long time hams with a "been there, done that" attitude, asking what a club has to offer them for them. To borrow from President John F. Kennedy, "ask what you can do for your club." Of course, we took more than we had to offer when we were younger and inexperienced. But over the years, we have gathered knowledge that we can share with the newcomers. Based upon my countless interactions with hams of all levels of experience, the novice has much to offer the old-timer, even if it is just reliving the joy of discovery. The local radio club has something for everybody who is willing to get involved. Don't know where you local club is? Use the ARRL Affiliated Club search . You can reach Fusaro by e-mail . -------------- next part -------------- Skipped content of type multipart/alternative From Litvan at acegroup.cc Sat Aug 22 22:18:34 2009 From: Litvan at acegroup.cc (Len Litvan) Date: Sat Aug 22 22:18:39 2009 Subject: [WARC] Why didn't I get my ticket earlier????

Want to test each part to be sure the total IS equal to the sum of the parts otherwise it is difficult to assess whether you are really getting out of it what you would "expect" as few other such machines in the area to compare with. Actually....none. What I need is a person or two (more OK) who can be available now and then to compare signal strengths as I swap among three antennas, three feed lines, at three different heights. NO, NOT ALL 27 COMBINATIONS !!!! The tests for this part will just use FM voice on one of the ATV frequencies. 443.750 MHz would probably be good. NO ATV equipment is needed. What would be IDEAL would be someone(s) with a simple VERTICAL 70. cm. antenna. Beams might be a nuisance because of the need to always set them back to the same bearing. The idea is that I transmit a fixed power carrier and the receiving station notes the signal strength (any type of "S-meter" reading is fine, doesn't need to be calibrated). When I switch to another antenna, feedline, height, etc. we coordinate (on another or the same frequency) and see how much I need to attenuate the signal on my end to get the same reading on your "S-meter." I can always measure gain/loss for the transmitter power and the feedline by other means but am very curious how much the height affects this and whether the antennas really meet their spec.s.

I hope some of you were able to enjoy the 300-800 mile paths. If you have no idea what happened, here's a several-days archive of a popular 2 meter propagation logger: http://dxworld.com/144proplookback.php You will see multiple instances of Midwestern states working easily into New England, hour after hour. It doesn't get much better than this. Do visit my website 1x/2x a week. It's the best way to keep on top of what's going on with VHF/UHF in our area. 73, Todd KC9BQA EN63ao 40 N of Milwaukee http://www.kc9bqa.com For Frequent VHF/UHF Updates From seaquist.robe at uwlax.edu Wed Aug 26 20:16:40 2009 From: seaquist.robe at uwlax.edu (Bob Seaquist) Date: Wed Aug 26 20:16:47 2009 Subject: [WARC] Yaesu HT for sale Message-ID: I am selling my Yaesu FT-60R hand-held.

Will try to get it down late tonight. If problems with that will give you a call. Can try to arrange topmorrow if tonite a problem. Not a problem with me going all the way. Once it is loaded I might as well. Will leave the 300 foot rope attatched in case you need it. I had swapped the cast iron pipe for a tempered aluminum one. It hold me (220#) okay. (Tested at two feet above ground so would hold Rohn 25 or 45 ten foot sections without trouble. Jon > I hate to make you bring it all the way in yourself > though.

Message-ID: <4A98A533.8050501@acegroup.cc> Greetings Ladies and Gents Please put it on your calendar that we are planning another swap meet here in La Crosse. Also would you please do us a big favor and put this on your other reflectors and sites that would contain folk that could be interested in joining the fun. It was decided to hold it a little later so those that need to drive a distance will not have to get up before the robins and farmers might be able to get a few chores done before coming our way. Tail gating or is that tale gating is welcome, doors officially open at 9 but early birds will be welcome (IF you don't leave early too) Probably wrap it up 1 or 2PM depending on rag chewing and so on. Maybe bring something for show and tell??? Tables again are free and if you need a lot of room, of course we will share the space as needed. Coffee, cookies and donuts will be honor system to pay for the expenses. Plan to come early and stay late. When was the last time you saw Mr. so and so, or that other fellow you only see once or maybe twice a year. renew old acquaintances and make new friends. Here's your chance to eyeball the guy you talk to on your way to and from work, or ask questions or be the Elmer some one needs. Come on down! as Art Linkletter would say. In fact, come on down even if you don't have anything to sell, or need anything, just enjoy the company... Date: September 19, 2009 Time: 9:00 to 1:00 Place: Church of Christ building at 3506 So. 28th. ST. here in La Crosse Costs: a little of your time : ) We'd all appreciate it too!!! Two types of coffee too, one regular the other Chocolate Covered Cherry Look forward to seeing you there 73 Bill KE9XQ _______________________________________________ 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 -------------- next part -------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
