24 hour clock kit
Looking for a winter project???? I came across this kit on Ebay. I bought three and sold one to Dave (WB5NHL).? We built them. I was considering these as a club build, but have decided not to for the following reasons: ?These are not 12 or 24 hour clocks, just 24 hour. Temp display is in Celsius. You cannot change this. The kit is not a beginners kit. Instructions are marginal, solder pads on the pc board are very small.? ?You would need a small tipped temp controlled iron and fine gauge solder, along with steady hands. And a magnifying glass. You will have to buy a separate coin battery (CR1220) and buy or pull out of your junk drawer, a cellphone charger with a usb port to power the unit. Comes with a power cord. The battery is power backup. On the plus side....it is quite a bargain!!! And can be assembled in about 2 hours. Big bright large display with choice of LED colors. Mine worked first time. One for UTC and one for local time. About two weeks lead time from China. So...if you think you are up to it, enjoy, and remember, Dave and I can help if needed. 73? de Carl KP2L ? |

开云体育MIT Radio Society, EE and Computer Science Department Hosting Radio Technology Lectures 01/08/2019 The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Radio Society (W1MX) and the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) are hosting a series of public lectures on “everything radio,” presented by academics and industry professionals. The series began on Tuesday, January 8. Sessions are also accessible via YouTube, courtesy of MIT Student Cable (). Each self-contained talk addresses a different facet of radio, ranging from modulation, propagation, and Amateur Radio, to radar, radio astronomy, space-based applications, and cellular and 5G technology. No prior experience with radio is necessary. The is on the EECS Independent Activities Period (IAP) page, under the Radio Technology, History, and Applications tab (click “Expand All” to view). For more information, contact Daniel Sheen, KC1EPN.? ** Dave and I have been viewing some of them. These are truly great! If you don’t like formulas, just close your eyes. You will still learn a lot. The presenters are all HAMs, research Scientists and Professors at the Haystack Observatory in north west Boston. ? Kent KQ4KK ? |

March 11th 2019 NABRC meeting program SKYWARN Training
Gentlemen, I have scheduled Doug Anderson from the National Weather Service in Columbia SC to come to our NABRC meeting at Aiken Regional the night of March 11th, 2019. He will present a basic Skywarn spotter class.? It is about 2 hours long so maybe we could start early and limit club business that night.? At the end of the training he will provide a web link for those wishing to formally register as a trained spotter. ?While there is no need to pre-register if you want to attend, I would like to give Doug an approximate head count. So I will poll our membership at the February meeting.? And if we so desire,? he could come back and present the "advanced skywarn" class. Mark your calendars, should be fun. As always if you would like to give a presentation to our club email me with your idea. Happy Holidays/73 Carl KP2L |

Proposed Rule Making position
The ARSFI board of Directors filed with the FCC a comprehensive response to the online and media campaign that Theodore Rappaport has been leading to get the FCC to dismiss the pending Notice of Proposed Rule Making (Docket No. 16-239). The proposal would eliminate the current 300 baud limit on HF digital transmissions. We're in favor of the proposed rule making--plus the ARRL's suggested 2.8 kHz bandwidth limit--for many reasons, mostly because the advancement of the radio art is impeded without it. For most Winlink stakeholders it will allow Pactor 4 in the USA.? Rappaport is spreading unrelated emotional fire, claiming that ARC protocols and similar wide-band connected digital modes and modes that are hard, expensive (or need proprietary hardware, firmware or software) to intercept communications on-the-air need to be removed from the amateur bands. He says these modes encourage crime, terrorism and are a threat to national security. His arguments would have the FCC remove Winlink, D*Star, Fusion, and all 'connected' modes not easily intercepted on-air by unskilled operators without a proprietary component in the monitoring equipment?before addressing the 300 symbols/second NPRM. He would set amateurs back 40 years or more with respect to the radio art and digital techniques. We don't have to say how devastating the consequences would be if Winlink and all others using similar modes disappeared from the ham bands. Please visit our web site for full information: You can download and read the letter we wrote to FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, our response paper, and Rappaport's two recent letters to the FCC. Make your own decision, but make it an informed decision! If you use Winlink, you have a stake in this. We urge you to immediately file a comment on the FCC's ECFS. Instructions are available from the link above. Time is of the essence. You don't have to write a masterpiece. An 'express' comment of your opinion about the ARSFI filing is all that's needed. This is a direct and serious threat to Winlink's existence on the amateur radio bands. Thanks for your support! 73, Lor Kutchins, W3QA President, Amateur Radio Safety Foundation, Inc. Winlink Development Team |

FREE DSTAR Peanut for HAM Amateurs
KENT HUFFORD
开云体育Well, it seems some HAMs are still downloading the software and receiving a PIN number from PA7LIM. You might want to give it a try. ? Kent KQ4KK ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of KENT HUFFORD ? Access to PEANUT for DSTARThe access to new users is stopped for a while. I did not expect the interest in the project. My machine is not able to serve all new users. The 400 to 500 PIN request per day was also not expected and had no time anymore to code. I an looking for a solution.. Maybe clustering.. I have to think about this. Sorry that I do not answer the PIN request emails. Need some time to think about this. David PA7LIM ? On Tue, Nov 27, 2018 at 2:47 PM KENT HUFFORD <KHUFFORD@...> wrote:
