CW Setup
ne4s
Tom,
Could you bring the operators manual for the CW station to the Saturday work party? I need to check the "ports" and "jacks" for hooking in the Writelog keyer, paddle, and possibly an external keyer if needed. Also will there be 12V, low current, (Anderson Connector) at the CW operating position? It may be needed to power the keyer. I am aware that the rig probably has an internal keyer. But, depending on the jack(s) for straight key and/or paddle, we may need to run straight key for the Writelog program, and put a keyer on in a "Y". The paddles would plug into the external keyer in this case. Details needed... Thanks Mike, NE4S |

From: Moss, Dave J (INPO) [mailto:mossdj@...] Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 10:43 AM To: n4n_field_day@... Subject: [n4n_field_day] Time for a head count Hey gang! We've got several things in the mill for Field Day that require some information on who will be at the site when. We want to put together a schedule for operators (based on requests from last year), but we also need to find out: (1) if we will have the critical mass we need for putting up towers on Friday evening/Saturday morning and taking towers down on Sunday; (2) How many we will have on-site from about 12:00-2:00pm Saturday for the (weather-permitting) first ever N4N kick-off barbecue; (3) How many we will have for dinner Saturday and lunch Sunday. So, if you could, please let me know as soon as you can when you plan to be at the site. Bring along a friend, the XYL, or the kids if you'd like (let us know so we'll have food). Any extra help we can get for Friday evening or Sunday afternoon would really be great! To give you an idea of what's going on here's a basic schedule: 9:00am Thursday: Arrive at site and begin setup of RV, tents, tables/chairs, computer network, generators and AC distribution, and basically everything but stations and antennas (KE4UW, KN6RO, and KT4XN so far) Thursday evening: Relax and enjoy a cool one Friday morning: Continue setup of camp as needed, test computer network, etc Friday 2:00pm: Begin assembly of antennas and towers, hang wire antennas, setup stations, test rig/computer interfaces, etc. Friday evening: Raise as many towers as possible (need at least 8 people to do this safely), copy ARRL bulletin, dinner at the catfish restaurant in Hiram. Saturday morning: Complete any station setup or tower erection, test for interference among stations (if not done Friday), troubleshoot any problems Saturday noon: Picnic lunch (weather permitting), brief indoctrination for operators, primer on Writelog. Saturday 2:00pm: Field Day operation begins! Saturday evening: Pizza dinner (delivery, if possible) Sunday 2:00 pm: Field Day operation ceases. Barbecue lunch and gathering of good ideas for next year. Sunday 2:30 pm: Dissambly of antennas and towers, packing and cleanup So, choose your activities, arrange the hall passes, and please let me know as soon as possible when you plan to be there. If you have preference for bands/modes you do or don't want to operate, let me know that and we'll accommodate those as well. Think Field Day!

Roger Hackler
Gang:
Please let me know who already has Writelog installed on the machines that they are bringing to FD. If you do have Writelog installed, please go to the Writelog website ( Http://www.writelog.com ) and download the latest update which is version 10.40J and update your systems. The last few updates have done wonders with the network robustness. We all need to run on 10.40J at FD. Thanks! de KN6RO |

开云体育Sounds
cool.? We'll use 192.169.1.x /24?? Put the APs high (above 200
and I'll keep the wired stuff low).
?
If we
can get internet access on the network, we can set up Writelog to connect to the
cluster via the net, and have spots on each logging machine filtered per
band.? Since we're planning to call CQ, this isn't any big deal, until the
last 4 or 5 hours, then it could be very useful for grabbing any missed
multipliers!

Is it circularly polarized...or a long-boom 440 Yagi? FYI: Here's the kind of SAT antenna array I believe Robin, AA4RC is trying to duplicate (would like to have) for FD: ray.JPG My understanding is Robin's SAT array consists of: - VHF: M2 circularly polarized 2M long-boom Yagi - UHF: M2 curcularly polarized 440 long-boom Yagi - 2.4 GHz: BBQ dish + very low noise 2.4 GHz downconverter (TranSystem, Inc.) - rotor: Yaesu G-5500 Az/El with fiberglass boom - rotor interface: SASI tracker - tracking program: NOVA for Window/SASI tracker - low-loss feedline - Military surplus "crank up" and rotatable mast - Rig: Kenwood TS-200X (Robin, did I get it all right?)

A brief comment on fire extinguishers...
Regardig the fire extinguishers...
PKP and CO2 extinguishers put out the fire the same way, by "smothering" or removing the Oxygen. The difference is that PKP is reasonably corrosive -- especially when wet and in contact with electrical/electronic equipment."Dry Chemical", AKA "PKP" (Purple K Powder) is for Class A, B fires ("leaves and ash", and "burning liquids"). We could actually make use of both kinds for FD -- the CO2 for any radio gear/power supply-related issues and the PKP for any (higher probability) generator/automobile-related fires. As Hams, I think we could handle the relatively rare electrical fire easily -- turn off the power, etc. But the "burning liquid" gasoline, etc fire can get out of control very F-A-S-T. So, if we only have one, let's go with the PKP...near the generators, etc! 73 de JG Think FD! -------Original Message------- From: Tim Lemmon <tim_lemmon@...> Sent: 06/18/03 10:53 PM To: n4n_field_day@...
