Rick Donaldson Apr 1 READ IN APP 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!

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.

Steve will be net control. I dropped the ball at the last meeting when I failed to add this subject to the agenda. We can discuss during the net. If you can't join tonight, but want to contribute an idea please reply to this post. I'll monitor the thread and report your input to the net. Long story short, back in 2024 JJ had a good suggestion to run an HF net of our own. We settled at the time on this VHF net on the third Tuesday of each month. The practice never became routine so I would like discuss the club's interest in continuing this net and whether to start an HF net. Steve

I should have offered sooner, but I have a generator…. Somewhere around 9000 watts that anyone is welcome to use if you need it to keep the freezer powered up or anything.

There is a Missouri ARES net every Sunday at 2pm. The net takes place on 7.263 Mhz or 3.963 Mhz depending on propagation. If 40 meters doesn't work, they move to 80 meters. Net control will call for check-in's by region. We are region G. You'll also be asked to provide your county. I'm sure you'll be able to listen to other stations to hear how to check in. In speaking with Don from the Ozark County club, there are only a few from region G that check in. We'd love to see region G better represented and test our HF communications as far as emergency communications are concerned. Also, the Missouri Traffic Net occurs daily at 5:30pm on either of the frequencies listed above, the the primary is 80 meters (3.963Mhz). Check in if you're available. Also, I mentioned that I've been communicating with Don, who is the president of the Amateur Radio Club of the Ozarks in Ozark County. Some of their recent facebook posts had captured my attention where they had been testing simplex communications via 2 meter SSB. Up until this last week, I didn't own a radio capable of SSB on 2 meters!! Their plan was simply to see what kind of communications they could achieve on side band and possibly use that as a back haul to talk longer distances in the event repeaters aren't operational and 2 meter FM simplex doesn't cut it. An example would be that I might be able to talk simplex with Steve who doesn't live too far from me, but Steve can't talk via simplex to Mike who lives just north of the Arkansas border. Via side band, Mike and I might be able to talk and relay Steve's messages even though we're further apart. It's not a perfect example, but maybe you get the point. Anyway, I'm excited and looking forward to the opportunity to work with our neighbors, make more "ham buddies" as my wife would say, and improve our ability to communicate in times of need. If you have suggestions, please let me know!

April 19th and 20th will be Support Your Parks weekend for anyone interested in POTA. I was able to participate in one of these weekends last year and achieve approximately 250 contacts in just a few hours at two different parks. The bands were jam packed with activators and the weather that weekend was perfect!! Tons of fun!! If you're unable to get out to a park, you can always be a hunter from your home and give all the activators the contacts they need! I don't know what I'm going to do yet, but as long as it isn't raining, I'll probably set up somewhere. If you make plans, be sure and share!!

If I misrepresented something, let me know. Steve

Our monthly meeting is at 6pm Tuesday night at the Howell County EOC. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend due to a work related event. Steve, our club secretary and half way decent guy has volunteered (more like drew the short straw) will be moderating the meeting in my absence. I have passed my agenda along to him which has several topics to discuss as we move into spring & summer. My apologies for the scheduling conflict. Up until Friday, I was told this event was Wednesday. Oh well… can’t win them all. As a result, we’ll postpone our discussion / demonstration on HF antennas until next month as I don’t want to dump too much on Steve at a short notice.

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/new-chirp-tool-uses-audio-tones-to-transfer-data-between-devices/ This may be a fun thing to play with, but I post it more as a reminder that all our devices have microphones that may be listening, even if you didn't intentionally configure it or the latest application you installed from a play store didn't ask permission. https://news.itsfoss.com/android-open-source-ham-radio/ When I opened the bleepingcomputer link I was holding out hope that since our Android phones can now function as a shortwave radio, maybe we could program them over audio. Cool, but not yet.

Recently, Yaesu has released a few new mobiles with a new audio digital signal processing feature. The feature appears to do an excellent job of cleaning noise off analog signals. I’ve seen a couple videos and have been impressed, but just happened to run across this one and thought I would share it. Pretty awesome feature if you ask me. https://youtu.be/zPKM8cW5CoA?si=vV5Fl0CZE2R9rOq8
