Meeting at 7PM This Thursday
开云体育
Hello,
Our quarterly meeting is scheduled for 7PM, March 13, at the Webster Rec Center.
Zoom may be problematic, not sure if our arrangements to make use of it will still work, I am having issues getting in.? If it can be worked out, I will send an update with Zoom link and info before the meeting.
Not sure if I can get a presentation together before the meeting, I will try.? It could be about Power Line Noise, Ham Clock, or digital voice on a budget.? Unless anyone else has something ready . . .
Hope to see you then.
-- Brian

foxhunt thursday
I gave a presentation about foxhunting to RARA last week. ARES is doing a cooperative hunt thursday at 1800 on 146.61 repeater ?If anyone is planning a spring hunt, please let me know so I can get the word out to RARA. The room was full, so many got to hear about and see foxhunting for the first time, so I'm hoping some may want to try it. Jon N2JAC 5852040413 |

More on RFI Issue at K2AS and DX Contest
开云体育
I was enjoying operating the ARRL SSB DX Contest this weekend, but when I fired up the rig this morning, 20 meters was completely wiped out by RFI.? Luckily, the noise level was lower on 15 and 10 meters, and I was able to make some contacts.? This also happened
during the CW contest a couple weeks ago.
RG&E still has not contacted me, and it has been just about 2 months, so I have drafted a letter and will be sending it via registered mail on Monday.? I also filed a complaint with the FCC, which I probably should have done immediately.
I did get to test out my ultrasonic detector a bit today.? It had been so cold, snowy and windy on the days it was present, that I hadn't been able to try it out.? Today was cold and windy, and it started to snow just as I went out, but confirmed the pole that
the noise was emanating from.? I was not able to pinpoint the faulty hardware, which I guess is sometimes possible.? It was definitely at the top of the pole, likely either a lightning arrestor or insulator.
It's 8PM and 10 and 15 are dying, and 20 meters is unusable for me, so I will have to try 40 and 80 tonight, though my 80 meter EFHW has been compromised somewhat by this winter's winds.
This contest is a little weird, as DX stations can only work USA and Canada, so it tends to be mostly Europe, South America and the Carribean, but 10 meters should be hopping tomorrow AM if you want to work a lot of DX.? The exchange is signal report and state
for US, and signal report and power for DX stations.? Easy exchange!
Be radio-active!

Re: ARRL CW DX Contest
开云体育
Brian,
Yep, that was me down here in Saint Simons, Georgia.? I brought my all band QMX+ running 4 watts and a long wire 10' high.? 58 contacts in 4 ? hours of operating with a multiplier of 48.? Unfortunately, I didn't think I to claim affiliation to the XRX club
until I saw your?entry which was after I had submitted mine.
Lots of fun!

Sent:?Sunday, February 16, 2025 10:42 PM To:?'[email protected]' <[email protected]> Subject:?[xarc] ARRL CW DX Contest ?
I operated the CW DX Contest again this year.? I wanted to beat my 175 contacts last year, and just barely did, with 178 and 103 multipliers.? Fortunately, the Daytona 500 was rain-delayed, or I wouldn't have been able to have enough time.
If I compared my logs from last year to this year, I'd guess most of my contacts?were with the same stations I worked last year.
Contesting in these big ones is a little weird, with many stations being essentially professional contesters and automating most everything.? With N1MM you really don't have to touch your key or paddle.? One button or click sends your callsign, another one
sends your exchange.? ?But it is still kind of fun, but I will probably just occasionally dabble in contests.
And I heard a weak K2OID, from GA?? Were you running QRP?
