From Litvan at acegroup.cc Fri May 1 08:42:00 2009 From: Litvan at acegroup.cc (Len Litvan) Date: Fri May 1 08:42:02 2009 Subject: [WARC] Red Cross Class In-Reply-To: <200904301124.19963.jarvis@jarviscomputer.com> References: <200904301124.19963.jarvis@jarviscomputer.com> Message-ID: <49FAB5D8.4010201@acegroup.cc> Hello Clare, I'll get the various promotion items out today (see below about the test session date)--public media, surrounding ham groups, ARRL website; candidates from this year's NWS Storm Spotter training, Bob Bilder's candidates, club website, etc. I also will contact the assistant principal at WSHS to see if any of the science students want to participate (Project Lead the Way). I presume the costs are as we discussed -- $24.95 for the study manuals and $15.00 for the licensing session. People can provide their own study manuals and participate in the classroom portion of the program at no charge -- still $15.00 for he licensing session. I can take registrations and order the books (next Thursday, probably) for delivery direct to the Red Cross office on the 11th if that is OK (feedback, please). We may have to place a second book order for late registrations. I have a copy of the study manual which one of the instructors could borrow if desired--in order to save cost. I will be unable to help with the class on the 11th due to a business commitment, but I can help instruct on some of the other sessions. Will the class be skipped for Memorial Day? What about the date for the license testing session? Perhaps it could be done on the sixth night (June 22 if Memorial Day is skipped). Normally the sixth night has been a review session and the license test session is the seventh night. I think it would work OK to have the license test session on the sixth night with a review session beforehand (review at 6:30 and test session at 8:00 for instance). I need to know the date for the testing session in order to publicize the course properly. I recommend that the review and testing session be on the 22nd as outlined above. I have some other planning materials for the course also. I expect to be at breakfast Saturday morning and will bring some of the materials with me. I hope you can make it also. If not, we can coordinate some other way--by phone or 146.835 or 147.000 with e-mailed materials would work. Thank you very much, Clare, for getting this course and testing session rolling. It is very exciting to see the level of cooperation between WARC and the Winona County Red Cross. Thanks for spearheading it.

He didn't have the details yet, but I thought that local hams might want to be alert to this opportunity to get some refresher training if you were not able to attend the session in St. Charles.

Specifically, I'll announce the 2 meter SSB nets late this afternoon, after I check weather radar. La Crosse and Winona activity has really tapered off the past few months, and I want each of you to know I'm still here, and eager to help you enjoy working a few hundred miles on 2 meters. Other posts I made to the website this morning include promotion of the 6 meter Spring Sprint that is this Sat. evening, from 6-10pm. Six has been opening up, and you'll want to find out which one of your neighbors worked PERU on 6, this past Sat. evening. Yep, talking OA4TT working in your backyard, on 50.110 CW. I also included fresh articles on multiple VHF/UHF nets in your area, plus VHF/UHF clubs you can either join, or read up about at their websites. If you have any curiosity about VHF'ing, I promise to make it worth your time to visit my website. You will become better connected and informed.

With T-storms forecasted much of today and tonight, we'll have to see if we can sneak these nets in, like a baseball game. The net control tonight will be KC9KPV Randy, either way. I am unavailable tonight. Randy's got a nice station and has been net control before. I'm grateful to have an alternate NCS. KC9KPV is about 15 miles NW of Milwaukee I can feel that I'm in a posting mood today. Meaning to http://www.kc9bqa.com. If you have any interest or curiosity about VHF/UHF, know that I post frequent updates. If you spend 5-10 minutes a few times a week at the website, you'll get fresh VHF/UHF news you can't find anywhere else. 73, Todd KC9BQA EN63ao 40 N of Milwaukee 50 thru 2304 http://www.kc9bqa.com From sprinkies at excel.net Thu May 14 21:46:30 2009 From: sprinkies at excel.net (Todd Sprinkmann) Date: Thu May 14 21:46:55 2009 Subject: [WARC] 146.43 FM net *ON* tonight and website update Message-ID: <1DCCC35AE2D146DE94495E7FE5138A2F@sprinkma35adeb> Good evening, I sure hope we don't get in the habit of having T-storms every Wed. Last night, we went thru 3 rounds of storms, and got .90" of rain for our trouble. Lightning ceased about 10:30pm. Juuuuust in case any of you have whopper vertical beams, I thought I'd alert you to the Thursday night FM net I host. It's at 8:30pm, and it's on 146.43, FM and vertical-polarization. On FM, I am not able to rotate, but I do have a Diamond dual-band vert. up 90'. I suppose it's possible with some better conditions that a few of you could hear a squirt of RF. W0FAY in Dubuque has been hearing bits and pieces of the Thur. 146.43 FM net. The Hepburn forecasted tropo pages show at least a slight enhancement to the south, so we'll see if that holds true tonight. Here's the link to those maps: http://www.dxinfocentre.com/tropo.html They update each day about 1pm central, hit refresh if you need to. When you fellows have 5-10 minutes, I'd ask this of you: Contesting season is 1 month away, and I am always pushing for better contesting within several hundred miles of me. If there's anything you see on my website that you think would help your local contesting situation, feel free to print it out, email it to some of your ham buddies and get them to give VHF/UHF a try. Made another long post to the website this afternoon. This one is about introducing newcomers and/or FM-only stations to VHF/UHF contesting. Yesterday's post was about getting rovers motivated and educated. Even if the posts don't do anything for you personally, stop a second and consider this: Consider passing this info along to a ham buddy, or a friendly radio club that doesn't know anything about VHF Contesting. http://kc9bqa.com/?p=218 Thanks, 73, Todd KC9BQA EN63ao 40 N of Milwaukee 50 thru 2304 http://www.kc9bqa.com For Frequent VHF/UHF Updates From tom at galesvillefiredepartment.org Sat May 16 12:33:57 2009 From: tom at galesvillefiredepartment.org (Tom Peterson) Date: Sat May 16 12:34:21 2009 Subject: [WARC] WiFi Repeater Message-ID: <4A0EB2B5.20103@galesvillefiredepartment.org> It never fails, I end up at the only part of the campground that's invisible to the free wifi provided by the place. Since I can't put a better antenna on my ipod, I went for the next best solution. A wifi repeater. I got a Linksys WRT54G v1.1, replaced the operating system with a Linux based system called DD-WRT http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv3/index.php I then implemented a script on it called autoap http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Autoap that "continuously scans for open Wi-Fi connections, tests them for validity, and connects to the strongest signal. If the connection is lost, the script scans again and finds the strongest valid signal again, and maintains a continuous connection to the internet in a mobile or portable environment. The script parameters are highly configurable, including ability to configure secure connections. " I figure a water resistant case, a gel cell battery, and the ability to locate it on top of my camper, I'm set.

Message-ID: <4A118C49.2020503@acegroup.cc> The May program of the WARC will include a presentation and discussion led by Bob Bilder, Winona County Emergency Management Coordinator. The program will include a briefing on the current organizational structure within Emergency Management, a summery of lessons learned from significant emergency events in the past year, and a tour of the remodeled Winona County Emergency Management facilities. The role of amateur radio in emergency communications will be an underlying theme of the briefing. The program will begin at 7:00 PM on Thursday, May 21, at the Winona County Courthouse Annex, 220 West Third Street. All amateur radio operators and other interested persons are encouraged to attend. It is not necessary to be a member of the Winona Amateur Radio Club to participate. There also will be some planning for Field Day 2009 and an update on the current Technician Class course & planned license testing session. See you there.

Hope lots of you come out and play radio. I've got full details about the net up at http://www.kc9bqa.com. Tonight's net control will be KC9KPV Randy. He's located just about 15 miles NW of Milwaukee, and his station gets out pretty well. Back in March or April, he worked KB9WLM in EN40, N0PB in EM39 and W0FAY in EN42 on the same night. Since Randy's sort of newer to 144 SSB, he was pretty thrilled to find out what's possible. Randy's one of the best examples of the several dozen new guys that have tried some SSB or FM simplex work up here in S WI since I got busy promoting things last summer/fall. He's improved antennas and skills, and he's really into the whole VHF thing now. Besides that, he actually thinks it's like an honor or something to host a net! He told me months ago, "Todd, if you ever want to take a night off, I'd be really happy to host a net. I'm sure you get lots of people asking you all the time." I had a good laugh over that one. If Randy knew how hard it is to get Joe Q. VHF'er to commit to *showing up* for a net, much less running one... Anyway, Randy's been a total plus for our VHF community, and I hope some of you connect with him tonight. Please stay in touch with the website, if you care to. 5-10 minutes a few times a week will give you everything you're used to, plus more than I can say in regular old emails. 73, Todd KC9BQA EN63ao 40 N of Milwaukee 50 thru 2304 http://www.kc9bqa.com For Frequent VHF/UHF Updates From sprinkies at excel.net Fri May 22 14:43:53 2009 From: sprinkies at excel.net (Todd Sprinkmann) Date: Fri May 22 14:44:13 2009 Subject: [WARC] Summer VHF Contest Calendar Message-ID: <5C0D9451AE0042AA992548D9DBFB3467@sprinkma35adeb> Those of you who have given VHF/UHF a try, thank you. :) Haven't heard from a half-dozen of you or so in a long time, hope everything's fine on your end. Here's a direct link to the summer VHF/UHF calendar: http://kc9bqa.com/?p=158 Print it out, and save some time for ham radio fun this summer. Those of you who don't do the VHF/UHF thing, save yourself some time and hit "delete". Don't want to waste anyone's time. :) We're still running the nets over here and that's not going to change. New stations, light copy stations, the merely curious -- you're always welcome. I announce the Wed SSB nets here every week so you won't miss a thing. Contest season is getting closer and closer. What the SW WI, and SE MN area did in the ARRL Jan VHF Sweepstakes was very impressive. Hope we can build on that this summer. If you've opped a January contest, then you owe it to yourself to get on board for summer. Better weather and band conditions, better participation levels. More rovers out and about. Remember how you blew away that K9BC/R in January? He still talks about being so thrilled and amazed at the pileup you guys gave him when he was out at the grid corner near Dodgeville. (EN43/53/42/52) Bruce has been roving for 10-20 years, and never had as big a surprise as that one. Is anyone on this list considering being a rover for any/all of the contests? If you have even a slight interest, you will get all the help you need, if you ask for it. There are no stupid questions, and us contesters just love, love the rovers. We all started out somewhere. Have a hard time hitting my nets? Fear not, there are other options out there. Here's a link to known active nets you may be able to reach. The NLRS ones on Sunday nights are right in your backyard. Friendly guys, too, they'd enjoy hearing from you. I wouldn't say that if I didn't know it to be true. I know K0SIX and KA0PQW personally, and they've emailed me to tell folks like you to stop by and say hello. Here's the link to those nets: http://kc9bqa.com/?p=169 If you're reading this and you have contest plans for this summer, *post your plans here*. Also post the plans to my website. Use the "comment" or "contact me" feature. It takes a lot of promotion to truly improve VHF/UHF. Do your part, and it will get others off the fence. Do nothing, and nothing will change.

I guess the "I do not deliver" condition didn't inhibit the interest. Ninety pounds of stuff for free was just too good for a ham to pass up. ;-) 73, Len Jim Grupa wrote: > The machine has been spoken for. > > Jim From lhittner at hbci.com Thu May 28 03:09:09 2009 From: lhittner at hbci.com (Leslie Hittner) Date: Thu May 28 03:09:36 2009 Subject: [WARC] FREE - year 2000 vintage Dell server References: <1875AA6013914AE2849CB13005D217F4@jimsdell> Message-ID: <467D9A3B85984B699028639F0E76E072@Europa> Skipped content of type multipart/alternative-------------- next part -----= --------- Skipped content of type multipart/alternative From sprinkies at excel.net Thu May 28 04:27:59 2009 From: sprinkies at excel.net (Todd Sprinkmann) Date: Thu May 28 04:28:30 2009 Subject: [WARC] New VHF/UHF content up on www.kc9bqa.com Message-ID: <4698B08373FD4666937F22C427E9FAEA@sprinkma35adeb> Have some new content on the website.

Things are falling in place pretty well. The Winona County Sheriff is providing their communications trailer and new gasoline generator this year. Sheriff Brand said they hoped to have it set up before 10:00 AM. A VHF station has been offered and one of the HF transceivers and power supplies also. We have an offer of a second HF station, but the point was brought out that one of the purposes of field day was to be exposed to different operating conditions and situations, and this particular HF rig (Clare's) has been used for a number of field days in recent years. So, I am asking, WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE CONSIDER PROVIDING AN HF TRANSCEIVER OTHER THAN A YAESU FT-847? Clare made the point about becoming familiar with different rigs during field day--a good point to raise. Please let me know if you have a rig which could be used for the second HF position. We have a volunteer for assistance with logging -- manual log sheets, logging software, and computer. Now we need to focus on antennas and meals. Lastly is publicity and collecting info for bonus points, which should go OK. Steve will submit the results to ARRL this year. There will be a few other minor items, and Steve & I have them pretty well identified. We are going to have FUN this year!!!

Notes Message-ID: <4A206872.8020303@acegroup.cc> - The Sportsmen's Club Board has asked that we STAY OUT OF THE SOYBEAN FIELD this year. QSL, everyone??? - Based on lessons learned last year, please bring equipment with PowerPole connectors or adapters this year. That would be consistent with good current EMCOMM preparation anyway... - Dick Lindner suggested it be a requirement that everyone bring their own headphones and splitters so that everyone can listen (on speaker) but people who are operating can actually hear their QSOs. This is a good point. Please bring your headphones and splitters. WHO CAN BRING SOME EXTERNAL SPEAKERS???? - Keeping in mind that one of the purposes of field day is to operate under unfamiliar circumstances similar to a true emergency situation, it might be good if we would make an effort to rotate operators amongst the rigs this year--op for a period on one rig and then circulate to other rigs for awhile. This practice would expose ops to different rigs and provide an opportunity for more people to operate/participate (no one hogs rig time). Field Day is a learning opportunity! - We ought to develop a more complete operator schedule--particularly for the over-night hours and early Sunday hours. The practice of having only one op at the site over night is not very good from a safety/health standpoint. We can address the op schedule for those non-peak times at the June club meeting. Anyone have more pointers or ideas? Please feel free to post them.
