Simplex 15 Apr 2025 20:00CDT PLEASE IGNORE PREVIOUS POST
Steve will be net control.
?
Third Tuesday at 20:00 hours is the reserved time for the club to try simplex nets.
Last month See notes we discussed whether to keep the monthly simplex. A final decision either way was not reached because we were absorbed testing 2M SSB. Since no one was vehemently opposed to a monthly simplex, I'll monitor the following frequencies and we will go from there. I still want to get going on JJ's idea about the club hosting an HF net. ?
144.15? LSB? This is in the band plan without stepping on the National Calling Frequency.
145.250 FM -0.6Mhz offset and CTCSS 110.9, our local repeater, will be the backup frequency.

Technician Class Registration
Are you ready to get started in Amateur Radio? The first step is to get your technician license! We’re offering a free class starting April 26th and continuing every Saturday until May 17th. The classes will be from 9 am to 12 pm each week at Lybyer Enhanced Technology Center on the MSU-WP campus. At the end of the class on May 17th, you’ll have the chance to take the test for your license. The best part? The class and the test are both free! Just click the link below to sign up. It’ll ask you to “checkout”, but the cost is zero, and that’s how we’ll be keeping track of registrations. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us, and share this anyone that would be interested in joining us!

Hope everyone is staying safe from the weather. It has certainly kept me hopping! I have some work to get done this morning, but hope to get some contacts for the Missouri QSO party at some point today and/or tomorrow! If hope you can as well. Here’s a link with details if you can and are interested. Stay safe.?

Re: FCC Planning to ban Direct Conversion Receivers?
It's beyond time to ditch this old tech that is holding humanity back from the next great leap in evolution. This is what deregulation of the FCC has paved the way to. I've heard that foil will be banned next due to the unpredictable sporadic F-layer oscillations created when foil is wrapped around "rabbit ear" antennas. This creates more spurious interference to Starlink's low-earth constellations and quite literally "foils" the reach of the satellites' usable range. Furthermore, Reynolds Caps are proving an impediment to Starlink's plans of beaming Internet service directly into people's heads thus bypassing the need for expensive phased array antennas, modems or even computers. But just you watch, direct conversion receivers and aluminum foil are just the tip of the iceberg.

From the FCC News Line: The Federal Communications Commission announced today that it will soon ban a wide range of communications equipment due to interference that this equipment is causing to Starlink communications satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The banned equipment includes a range of legacy analog-type circuitry that, according to the Commission, has "lost relevance" and constitutes "an archaic electromagnetic nuisance." Under the proposed Commission action, banned equipment will include all regenerative, super-regenerative, and direct conversion receivers. Thanks for reading Ham Radio for Preppers! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. The interference potential of regenerative receivers has been known since the 1920s. Direct Conversion receivers were thought to be less prone to Problematic Spurious Emission (PSE), but in recent months LEO satellites have experienced serious interference from terrestrial sources.

As part of our preparations for the upcoming Technician class, we’re excited to host an Introduction to Amateur Radio Workshop on Saturday, April 12th, from 9 am to 12 pm at the Lybyer Enhanced Technology Center on the Missouri State University-West Plains campus. This three-hour workshop will be an opportunity for us to discuss and showcase various aspects of amateur radio operations.
?
I understand that this is a short notice, but we would greatly appreciate any assistance anyone can provide. As amateur radio operators, we’re well-versed in the unique ways we can communicate using different bands and equipment. I’m eager to showcase as much of this knowledge as possible during this event.
?
The primary objective of this workshop is to attract as many people as possible, answer their questions, and encourage them to sign up for our class, which will commence two weeks later. Since the workshop will be drop-in, having as many volunteers set up and available to assist attendees will be beneficial.
?
I haven’t had the chance to discuss this with Mike yet, but perhaps we could even bring the trailer over to the event that day. I believe the emergency communication aspect might be a significant draw for potential attendees.
?
We’ll begin promoting this event and our class the next couple of days, so please keep an eye out for information on your email and social media platforms. A special ‘Thank You’ to Cathy Boys, who received her technician license at last year’s class, and her team at MSU for helping promote these events and make a classroom available for our class. We look forward to working with her team at the Office of Workforce Development and Community Education to provide these events to our community.

- We could get together and operate under the club callsign, but given the rapidly approaching date and not having another meeting before the event would make it difficult. Each operator can work their own station, using their own callsign. If you’d like to get together with another operator, you can certainly do so! When submitting your log, there is a place to add the club call sign. If 3 of us submit logs with the club call, then the cumulative points will go toward the club score.
- Submitting a digital Cabrillo formatted log will earn 100 extra points. There is an excel document on their website that can be filled out and saved in the proper format and emailed in for the credit. You might also use logging software that has an option for the MO QSO party requirements. One such piece of software is the N3FJP software.

- If you plan on operating, you can go to their website and submit your plans, which includes the county you’re working from, mode of operation, and what day(s) you’re operating. This allows others trying to contact as many counties as possible to know the mode you’re using. It’s not required, but if you know you’re going to participate, I’d encourage you to submit your plans. ?
- Unlike field day that operates all hours over the weekend, the MO QSO party run from 9am to 11pm Saturday, and 9am to 9pm Sunday.
If you’d like to participate but don’t know how or don’t have the equipment to participate, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I plan on doing something, but haven’t solidified any plans yet. We can certainly make arrangements with myself or another member to get you on the air. ?
