ARLX004 NCVEC Releases Second Technician Question Pool
 
In January, the Question Pool Committee (QPC) of the National
Conference of Volunteer Examiner Coordinators (NCVEC) released the
2010 Technician (Element 2) Question Pool. Upon further review of
the pool, members of the QPC found and corrected more than 50 minor
typographical errors and clarified the questions and answers, making
them easier to understand.
 
These adopted changes are now incorporated in a revised question
pool. The errata list, as well as the revised Technician question
pool, is available on the NCVEC Web site at, http://www.ncvec.org/.
 
The previously released pool dated January 4, 2010 is invalid for
use. The newly revised Technician question pool will become
effective for all examinations administered on or after July 1,
2010; it will remain valid until June 30, 2014.
 
The current Technician question pool that became effective July 1,
2006 will expire June 30, 2010. The new Technician pool contains
approximately 400 questions, from which 35 are selected for an
Element 2 examination; it will contain graphics and diagrams,
something new for this element.
 
The current General class question pool was effective July 1, 2007
and is valid through June 30, 2011. The current Amateur Extra class
pool was effective July 1, 2008 and is valid until June 30, 2012.

I think I see the problem.  I did research with seconds down to hundreth of a second, but the IRC forms on the web will only take whole seconds.  We had the same coordinates for EMA and the water tank as last time, but it doesn't show up when he looks at his map with only accuracy to the nearest second.

Phil
I need to accurately verify all of your sites.  Attached are 4 photos and the next message will have 4 more.
 
Photo All, shows all sites, including the links.   Photo all-2 shows the ones in the middle better.
 
Photo EMA shows where I believe the EMA office is.   I see only one tower in the aerial photo.  When I went to road view, I also saw 3 shorter towers.   Please mark this photo as to where the towers are that you are using.
 
Photo 180 shows the water tower, where your application shows it.    Photo Link-1--180 db shows where the data base shows the 147.180 system and where you put the link 446.075 link.
 
Photo 350 db and 350 db2 show where the 145.350 site is.   Please mark the photo as to just where.
 
Photo Link 2 shows the Water tower in Delphi
 
Please verify all sites, and mark the photos that need marking.
 
There appears to be some typos in the grid coordinates
 
 
Thanks

Phil:
 
I've added the W9VMW records to the Indiana section of the Repeater Directory database, so they should appear in the next edition.
 
However, the best approach for the future is to consult with the Indiana coordinator and try to determine why they aren't appearing in the data he submits to us. Otherwise, you'll have to remind me every year.  :-)

I received this email today 2-11-2010 thought I would pas it along to everyone.

Greetings fellow amateurs!



This is to announce a packet training workshop on Saturday, FEB 27, 9:00

a.m. - 12:00 p.m., sponsored by Tippecanoe County ARES.  The workshop is

open to all amateurs.  It will be held in the Training and Reception Center

of Subaru of Indiana Automotive (SIA), on SR38 in Lafayette.



Attendees are encouraged to bring their laptops, TNCs (with manual), and

connecting cables.  You may also bring your radio and antenna/dummy load, if

you like, as we will have a working BBS/node/digi on the air at the training

facility.  Access to 110V AC will be provided (you may want to bring an

extension cord/power strip), and limited 12V DC power will be available via

PowerPole connections.  (So bring your own 12V DC power supply or battery

for your TNC/radio, if you have it.)



This will be a hands-on workshop starting with the basics: getting your

computer and TNC to play together, learning some important TNC commands,

progressing through the use of nodes and digipeaters, and configuring and

using the Outpost Packet Message Manager program



***NOTICE***:  Registration is required for this workshop.  There is no fee

or cost, but we must be expecting you.  Please fill out the registration

form if you plan to attend.  The registration form, directions, and

information about the workshop can be found at:

www.w9tca.com/packet-workshop



This workshop is open to all amateurs, so help us spread the word.  Hope to

see you there!

ARLB004 W1AW to Alternate Digital Mode Schedule
 
Beginning Monday, March 15, 2010, W1AW will alternate the digital
modes used for its digital bulletin transmissions.
 
While Baudot, PSK31 and MFSK16 still make up the digital mode
complement, the schedule will be altered to give more exposure to
PSK31 and MFSK16.
 
Because of time constraints and the varying lengths of digital
bulletins, there were many instances where only Baudot was used.
With the new schedule, amateurs preferring either PSK31 or MFSK16
will find these modes no longer secondary.
 
The regular callup will be made using the mode that is transmitted
first.  The digital bulletin times remain at 6 PM and 9 PM eastern,
daily.
 
The Tuesday and Friday Keplerian data bulletins will continue to be
sent using just Baudot and PSK31.
 
The new digital schedule is as follows:
 
Monday:        Baudot, PSK31, MFSK16
 
Tuesday:       PSK31, MFSK16, Baudot 
 
Wednesday:     MFSK16, Baudot, PSK31
 
Thursday:      Baudot, PSK31, MFSK16
 
Friday:        PSK31, Baudot, MFSK16
 
Given time constraints and bulletin lengths, all three modes may not
always be transmitted.
 
The complete W1AW schedule can be found on page 100 of the January
issue of QST, or on the web at,

Message-ID: <BLU142-W18F5394E3AF1AA62485C9897470@phx.gbl>


>From the Jan 20 ARRL E-Letter, the IARU
Administrative Council noted that all three regions have now reached consensus
on three global Center of Activity (CoA) frequencies for use in the event
of emergencies: 14.300, 18.160 and 21.360 MHz. When no emergency operations
are being conducted, these frequencies are open for normal amateur usage.
However, GAREC-09 calls upon IARU member-societies, among others, "whenever
emergency communications are being conducted on frequencies that propagate
internationally, to use any available real-time communications channels,
including but not limited to e-mail bulletins, Web sites, social networking
and DX-clusters to draw the attention of the largest possible number of
Amateur Radio operators to on-going emergency communications, in order to
avoid interference with emergency traffic."

QRZ.com reports that Lionel VE7BQH has just published his latest 2 meter Yagi performance table -- an important reference for serious VHF DX'ers. It provides key facts to help operators choose the right antenna for them. 
Rovers have to pack a lot of antennas to cover all the bands above 50 MHz! Tim KE3HT confronted the tradeoffs between performance and coverage and mechanical complexity with a log periodic. In this eham article he discusses his choice and how it affects his roving operation.

FIELD DAY:

Tom, KB9WSL, reported that he has downloaded and printed the 42 page Field Day packet from ARRL for 2010. There are supposed to be a few new rules changes for this year, but in skimming over the 2010 FD packet none have been seen as of yet. It was pointed out that there are some bonus points available that we did not get last year?.namely originating an NTS message to the ARRL Section Manager, handling a formal NTS message, 10 points for each message handled, also additional points are available for  a Satellite QSO, and copying the special Field Day W1AW bulletin. 

There was also some discussion about what classification the Club wanted to run for 2010. Last year we were 2-F, but had 5 transmitters, GOTA, 6-meters and 2-meters. The last three do not count towards your classification. No firm decision was made regarding how many stations to run this year. It was mentioned that last year we did not have operators for the full 24 hours.  Tom also asked those at the meeting to let him know if they would like to try anything new this year. It?s hoped that we can get more points this year using CW and/or PSK digital modes.

OLD BUSINESS:

Phil, W9LVY, reported that EMA director Alvin Beckman told him that LMU has taken down some 55 foot utility poles. The poles could be used to put up a long wire loop antenna at the EMA. Alvin stated that they would like to set the poles when the weather is better.

Dave, K9DVL, said the club has an Alpha-Delta antenna which we could also put up but it would need to be tuned for 10 meters,

NEW BUSINESS:

John, KC9MVQ, reported that there will be a packet training class in Lafayette on Saturday , 2-27-2010. He plans to attend. Others are also welcome.

Basic storm spotter classes will be put on by the National Weather Service. There will be a class on March 1st, 2010 in Winamac at the Pulaski County highway department on US Hwy 35 just south of the Dairy Queen. Start time is 6:30pm EST. Contact Pulaski County EMA for more info.

There will be a storm spotter class in White county on March, 3rd,2010 at the White County Hospital in Monticello. Start time is 1:30PM and 6:30 PM EST. Contact White County EMA for more info.

Dave, K9DVL, reported that Randy Laning,W9CFI, passed away on Feb 19,2010. Randy was 102 years old and a Charter member of the Club. Phil, W9LVY, reported that Jack Felker, WD9BHR, passed away on Feb 15,2010. Felker lived in Winamac.

John ,KC9MVQ asked about updating the Field Day pictures on the Club website. Tom, KB9WSL will try and contact Brandon to see about updating the pictures.
Phil, W9LVY also reported that the EMA Director has advised him a CoCoRahs training session will be held in Cass County soon.  CoCoRahs stands for Community Collaborative Rain,Hail and Snow network. It?s a nationwide project of gathering rainfall, snowfall, hail and drought information. The program is up and running in all 50 States. It has been in operation for a few years now and is a project of Colorado State University. Tom, KB9WSL and John KC9MVQ are currently involved in the project. Phil hopes others in the Club will also participate. For more information go to: www.cocorahs.org

GOOD OF THE CLUB:

Mike, N9LMC, brought in a 2 meter log periodic antenna he built from plans he found on the Internet. He said it was made from copper tubing, and some PVC pipe. He said the total cost was about 10-dollars. Mike said the antenna worked well and covered the entire two-meter band. It was the second meeting in a row where a member had made a special presentation to the group. Mikes presentation was well received.

Tom, KB9WSL, reported that the 146.805 repeater in Rochester will soon be moved and upgraded by Phil Roberts, N9GCG. The repeater is very low profile at the present time. N9GCG will be relocating the repeater to a tower at his home and will be adding a new antenna, and possibly a new controller and other gear. The move may come as soon as the weather breaks. He hopes it will give the repeater improved coverage. At the present time the 146.805 repeater operates as an open repeater with no PL needed to bring it up.

It was also announced that all club members are invited to breakfast before the March 20, 2010 meeting. Members will meet at the Westside Diner on US 24 on Logansport?s Westside at 7:30am that day. (The former Ambers restaurant)

That sounds great.  The fee for 2010 has been raised to $15.   That is not for membership, it is for taking the test. If you take the test twice it costs  2 X  $15 or $30.  However, for one fee, you can take the tech, and if you pass that, take the general, etc. for one fee. If you fail you have to pay again to take it again. 

  How is it going with the job hunt?

Tom  KB9WSL
Monday Morning CoCoRaHS Greetings:
 
The long winter
 
With one week left in February, we?re waking up to the sound of snow 
plows on our street once again here in northern Colorado. In fact, it?s 
been snowing on and off for 4 straight days and our seasonal snowfall 
total is up to almost 70 inches. Our traditionally snowiest month is 
still ahead of us ? March. It?s a winter wonderland out there just like 
it was in late December, early December, mid November, late October. 
Wait, when did winter begin this year? It?s been a long one, and it?s 
not likely over yet.
 
Checking the CoCoRaHS map of total depth of snow on ground Sunday 
morning, there was plenty of snow from Reno, NV to Flagstaff, AZ to 
Dodge City, KS, to Cincinnati, Ohio and on to the Great Smoky Mountains, 
up to Washington DC and on to New England. In fact, it looked like about 
half the lower 48 states are still covered with snow. The Mid-Atlantic 
snow pack is retreating now after their huge storms, but many areas 
still have a good foot or more of water-soaked snow left on the ground 
(and thanks so much to everyone that takes that measurement). Much of 
Iowa has been dealing with deep snow since the beginning of December. 
Even places like Cincinnati have been pushing deep snow around for over 
two weeks. As the snow persists, fewer of us are keeping up with the 
measurements. Is it possible that people are ?sick of winter? :-) ?
 
By the way, check out the maps in the Reno, NV yesterday and today. They 
got pounded by a surprise local storm. Everyone seems to be taking a 
turn at measuring snow this year.
 
 
Hang in there ? the SWE will eventually be gone
 
Measuring deep, old, icy snow is neither easy nor necessarily enjoyable, 
but we appreciate all of you who have tried your best to measure the new 
snow, the water content, the total depth of snow and the snow water 
equivalent (SWE) of the total snow depth on the ground. Since we started 
doing ?Monday SWE? a few weeks ago, over 500 of us have taken Monday 
morning core samples from the snow left on the ground to determine the 
?snow water equivalent?. The folks at the National Operational 
Hydrologic Remote Sensing Center and many of our River Forecast Centers 
across the country greatly appreciate these measurements. They help 
forecasters anticipate how much water is available in the snow to 
contribute to soil moisture, runoff, and river flow in the weeks ahead. 
Keep those measurements coming until your snow is completely gone.
 
 
Many questions arose from the ?SWE Monday? campaign. Here are a few 
quick answers to common questions
 
?? ?Where do I enter this information?? Answer: It?s our regular daily 
?Precipitation Report Form? under ?Total Snow and Ice on Ground at 
Observation Time?
 
?? ?I can?t get a good measure of the water content. Is it OK if I just 
report the total snow depth and skip the SWE?? Answer: Yes, that helps a 
lot too. Do what you can.
 
?? ?I?m not as agile as I used to be. Can I opt out of this report?? 
Answer: Yes, measuring snow depth and SWE are important, but optional. 
Please don?t risk hurting yourself on ice and snow for CoCoRaHS.
 
?? ?What if we think the snow is going to melt during the week, before 
we can measure the next Monday?? The ?SWE Monday? campaign is primarily 
for areas with deep and persistent snow cover where it is not practical 
to measure every day. For most areas of the country, snow may only stay 
on the ground a few days. In those areas, it?s best to measure each and 
every day while you have the chance. If the SWE changes a lot from day 
to day due to new precipitation or melting, it?s also a good idea to 
send in more than just one report per week.
 
?? ?If I report SWE on Monday, does that mean you don?t want my daily 
precipitation reports the other days of the week?? Answer: Continue to 
do your regular daily precipitation report each day, including new snow 
and total snow depth.
 
?? ?I live in New York and I was told specifically to report SWE on 
Wednesdays. Now I?m confused.? Answer: We learned that in some parts of 
the country, the local practice was to measure the SWE on Wednesday or 
Fridays, and not Monday?s. Sorry for the confusion. If you have received 
specific instructions from your CoCoRaHS coordinator to measure and 
report SWE on a different day, stick with your local instructions. Or if 
you can do both, that?s good too.
 
Storm Warning!
 
It may still seem like winter, but the severe thunderstorm season can 
start any day now across the southern states and quickly move up into 
the Midwest and the Ohio Valley. My home county in central Illinois, 
Champaign County, took several direct hits from tornadoes in March when 
I was growing up there. It is something we must take seriously.
 
Please be ready for the 2010 severe weather season. If you are concerned 
about tornadoes, I strongly encourage you to check your local National 
Weather Service website and find out about severe weather spotter 
training sessions for your area. http://www.weather.gov
 
Be prepared to measure and report hail. We?ve had over 70 reports of 
hail already this year, but there will be many more storms in the months 
ahead. If you plan to use hail pads to measure and report hail (and we 
recommend it), this is a good time to make sure you have a couple of 
fresh, new hail pads ready to install. There are instructions on the 
website on how to make your own. Don?t wait until the last minute, or 
the storm will hit and you?ll still have the pad indoors.
 
Remember, we have a special report form on the CoCoRaHS website 
specifically for reporting hail. Get familiar with it. You don?t need to 
have a hail pad in order to report hail.
 
March Madness, CoCoRaHS style.
 
A traditional part of spring is our annual ?March Madness? friendly 
competition to see what states can sign up the most new CoCoRaHS 
volunteers. This will be the first year where all 50 states are in the 
competition. Take advantage of this opportunity to help recruit more 
participants for CoCoRaHS. If you know of anyone who might be 
interested, point them to http://www.cocorahs.org 
<http://www.cocorahs.org/> and click ?Join CoCoRaHS?. We?ll post the 
scores each week in our ?Message of the Day? so we can all track the 
results.
 
By the way, we?ve been holding steady at between 6800 and 8000 CoCoRaHS 
reports per day most of the winter, but as the weather warms up we hope 
to shoot for 10,000 reports per day by May.
 
 
Zero is better than nothing
 
We appreciate knowing both when it does rain and snow, and when it 
doesn?t. It only takes about 5 seconds to send in your daily report when 
there was no precipitation, and it really helps. Thanks.
 
 
A fresh new face in CoCoRaHS
 
I just wanted to let you know that there is a new baby in the CoCoRaHS 
family. Julian Turner, our web developer who maintains the website and 
all the millions of CoCoRaHS data records, and his wife are the proud 
parents of their second child -- a baby girl born over the weekend. 
Little ?Alden Grace Turner? is very small ? less than 4 pounds ? and 
will be in neonatal intensive care for awhile. But Julian reports that 
she is feisty and ready for action. We wish them the best.
 
Drought Impacts
 
In the last two weeks we added a new feature to the CoCoRaHS website ? 
the ability to report drought impacts that you are observing or have 
observed in your area. We chose a convenient time to launch, because 
hardly any of the country is facing drought right now. But it is almost 
a sure bet that in the weeks ahead, some parts of the country will be on 
the short end of the stick when it comes to spring and summer rainfall.
 
 
http://www.cocorahs.org/Content.aspx?page=droughtimpactreports
 
 
When you have a minute, take a look at the drought impact information. 
Then, when you find your community experiencing the impacts of drought, 
please use the CoCoRaHS ?Drought Impacts? entry form to let us know. 
Information provided will be shared with the National Drought Mitigation 
Center at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. By the way, you can 
always go back and enter a description of impacts you have observed in 
the past.
 
 
One less shirt, one less shoe, but many more eggs
 
Lily, our young Australian shepherd, is not on my good side right now. 
We had a few sunny days just over a week ago, and my wife hung some 
clothes out on the line. We weren?t around to see it, but Lily managed 
to pull down my best dress shirt and chewed off the collar and a sleeve. 
There were several shirts on the line that I wouldn?t have minded 
sacrificing, but she chose the best. Then on Saturday, while it was 
snowing hard, I left my shoes outside the door briefly so as to not 
track snow into the house, I was only inside for about 10 minutes, but 
when I came back, part of my new shoe that my daughter gave me for 
Christmas was chewed up. Bummer, I know it was my fault, but still -- -- 
-- -- I thought she was past that. On the brighter side, our chickens 
are laying eggs very well again, and the eggs are delicious.
 
 
In conclusion
 
Thanks again for being a part of CoCoRaHS. If you are new to this 
project and haven?t gotten started yet, this would be a great day to begin.
 
Best wishes,
 
Nolan Doesken

They could get free training and equipment to teach wireless technology in schools:

Message-ID: <COL110-W42EBD9C8E872F08C82815E8A3E0@phx.gbl>


Jessica Sigala, a geophysicist with the USGS told NBC News that the quake released 500 times more energy than the than the one that hit Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on January 12. The quake was felt in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which is located more than 800 miles away.
Tsunami warnings were issued over a wide area, including Hawaii, South America, Australia and New Zealand, Japan, the Philippines, Russia and many Pacific islands.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said a tsunami was generated that could cause damage along the coasts of all the Hawaiian islands.
NBC station KNHL reported that the first tsunami wave was expected to reach Hawaii's coastline at 11:19 a.m. local time (4:19 p.m. ET). 
"Urgent action should be taken to protect lives and property," the Warning Center said in a bulletin. "All shores are at risk no matter which direction they face." 
Giant waveReuters reported that a tsunami caused by the quake caused "serious damage" to Chile's sparsely populated Juan Fern?ndez Islands. Citing local police, CNN reported that the islands had been hit by a 40-meter (131-foot) wave.
