? I used my 9100 with a vertical tri-band antenna. I have heard the birds before but could never get the rig to cooperate to get the split just right. I finally got my ducks in a row and it worked. I have tracked a few others and will play with the SSB birds between now and FD. ? I have one of the arrow antennas but don’t think that I can talk Rhoda into standing out in the yard pointing it in the direction I called out ?. I guess I need to find someone to put together a AZ-EL controller…… ? ?

FW: ARRL Member Bulletin for June 6, 2024
Another update on the ARRL cyber attack. ? Some of you have been asking where the info comes from that it was ransomware, or that a ransom was paid.? I’m the one who shared that with Jeff 1, because that is what I heard in the ARRL forum at the Atlanta Hamfest.? Bicycle John KB4SLV and I were at the forum,? Mickey Baker shared info on a number of recent happenings at ARRL.? Among other things, he shared that he was particularly opposed to taking the printed magazine away from those like me who had 2 plus years left on a three year renewal.? He then discussed the cyber attach, said it was a ransomware attack, and said the ransom was paid.? I looked at John and said “did he just say they PAID the ransom?”? John said that’s what he heard.? Mickey went on to say that maybe there was some kharma involved, since coincidentally the amount of the ransom was about what it would have cost to have mailed those QSTs.? ? That’s about all the detail I heard.? ? I’m a bit puzzled why ARRL isn’t saying the same thing in communications to members if Board members are sharing that at hamfest forums.? Maybe one hand doesn’t know what the other is doing.? I also can’t shake the sense that ARRL isn’t being completely forthright about all this.? That’s just my opinion, I may be wrong.? ? Outside the forum I asked Mickey when he thought LOTW might be back on line.? He guestimated it would be another month (from then, not from the onset in May).? So maybe late June or early July.? ? In the immortal words of Forrest Gump, “That’s all I have to say about that”.? ? Dave UW ? ?

From: ARRL <memberlist@...> Sent: Thursday, June 6, 2024 8:21 PM To: davemoss@... Subject: ARRL Member Bulletin for June 6, 2024 ? ? ? ? | ? ? ? MEMBER BULLETIN ? June 6, 2024 ? Dear ARRL member, ? We are writing to inform you of a serious incident that has impacted ARRL’s operations. On or around May 12, 2024, ARRL was the victim of a sophisticated network attack by a malicious international cyber group. We immediately involved the FBI and engaged with third party experts to investigate. ? On May 16, on the eve of the ARRL National Convention in Ohio, we posted a notice on our website to inform members about the incident. Since then, we have made substantial progress to mitigate the impact of this attack on our organization. We have been posting regular updates, including the status of restored services. Please refer to our dedicated news post at . ? We are aware that certain members believe we should be openly communicating everything associated with this incident. We are working with industry experts, including cyber crime attorneys and the authorities, who have directed us to be conservative and cautious with our communications while restoring the ARRL network. ? Many of our services and programs have been impacted by this attack. We have been diligently assessing each system to ascertain the extent of compromise. For example, while the Logbook of The World? server and related user data were unaffected, we have taken the precautionary measure of keeping the service offline until we can ensure the security and integrity of our networks. Similarly, access to Online DXCC is unavailable, although individual award data remains secure. ? Fortunately, some of our key systems, such as the ARRL website and our association membership system, were unaffected. Despite the severity of the attack, no personal information was compromised. Additionally, ARRL does not store credit card information anywhere on our systems, and we do not collect social security numbers. ? Our Directors have heard from some members who are concerned about managing their membership renewals. Members can renew online at or by phoning ARRL. ? We understand the frustration and inconvenience this incident has caused, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as our dedicated staff and partners continue to work tirelessly to restore affected systems and services. ? Thank you for your ongoing support. ? |

What about 6M?? Free VHF station...
I worked a bunch of stations on 6M FT8 from FN34 last year on FD.? Wire antenna.
Jeff n1kdo
As of now, we have 6 folks in for Field Day:? AE4TQ Eddie, KB4SLV John, KE4QFB Larry, KE4UW Dave, N1KDO Jeff, and WB4SQ Gary.? Gary is also bringing a neighbor who can operate as a GOTA operator (John can also operate GOTA as well).
We have 3 or 4 radios committed:? Eddie’s IC-7300, Larry’s FTDX-10, my TS-590, and maybe Jeff’s K3.? We can decide FD weekend if we want to operate as 3A or 4A.? We have the option to use all four radios and be 3A if one radio is used only for GOTA and/or 6m. The TS-590 will be set up for CW, digital, or phone.? The IC-7300 and K3 for digital, and the FTDX-10 for phone.? I have a TS-2000 for a spare, but it’s good for phone or CW only.??
Barring some unforeseen solar snafu, we should have access to 10/15/20/40 during the day, so we can keep four radios busy.? At night we should have 80 and 40, and 20/15 until the wee hours when we won’t have four operators left awake anyway. ?? The goal is to have enough radios to keep everybody who wants to operate operating enough to make it fun.? Take time to cool off in the pool, shoot the breeze a bit, or watch others to learn something new.? Maybe a couple other folks will come by and operate a little bit—use that time to take a break.
Here are some opportunities for bonus points:
·?????? 300-400 points for? Emergency Power:? We will have a Honda EU2000 generator and a couple of solar panels.? One station may run full time on solar.
·?????? 100 points for Message to Section Manager:? I’ll try WINLINK again, maybe on HF this time.?
·?????? 100 points for Message Handling:? Again, I’ll try winlink.? I’ll have 10 messages ready to send.
·?????? 100 points for Satellite QSO:? I’ve got it this year.? (Thanks to all the help from Eddie)
·?????? 100 points for Alternate Power:? We will be able to make at least 5 QSOs on solar charged battery power
·?????? 100 points for Copying the ARRL Bulleting:? Eddie will have FLDIGI ready to copy the bulletin on CW and Digital.? Probably Eric too.?
·?????? 100 points for Educational Activity:? Eric will treat us to an educational activity via zoom.?
·?????? 100 points for GOTA coach:? Gary will be the GOTA coach and is bringing one GOTA operator.? We may have other GOTA ops.? No limit to GOTA QSO’s per operator
·?????? 5 points per QSO for GOTA operation, any mode, and no power multiplier:? Could be a big deal.? Maybe some GOTA digital too?? 200 QSOs would add 1000 points.? Our total score last year was 3600.
·?????? 50 points for Web Score Submission:? I’ve? got it.?
·?????? 100 points for Social Media:? For promoting N4N Field Day on Facebook, etc. I’m sure you computer savvy folks can do that.?
·?????? 100 points for Safety Officer:? Having a designated Safety Officer using the Safety Check List to keep us all safe.? Need a volunteer.?
So if we do 4A, that’s? 1350 points plus whatever we get from GOTA (assuming WINLINK cooperates, otherwise 1150).?

Let me ping the group one more time to see who is interested in participating in FD 2024.? FD is 3 ? weeks away.
So far the only participants I know of for sure are me and AE4TQ Eddie.? Between us we have all that is needed to set up two stations, and IC7300 set up for digital modes (courtesy of AE4TQ) and a Kenwood TS-590 set up for either digital modes or CW (courtesy of KE4UW).?
A couple of others have expressed interest at times, but I haven’t heard anything firm recently.? So if you’re interested, let us know.?
We’ll have single-band wire antennas for 10m-80m, and a 6m yagi if we have critical mass to raise it.? We can adjust the number of transmitters based on availability of operators/radios.?
I think it’s a safe assumption that the food and beer will be outstanding!

Didn't realize that the issue was ransomware. Being a technical society, they should be embarrassed. Perhaps it's the "it can't happen to me " syndrome.?

Yea, I guess that’s one of those things I forgot.? We’ll have the 6m yagi, and it can be available to any of the radios, including a GOTA station or, if we have the ops, the TS-2000 can be the “free” VHF station.?

I worked a bunch of stations on 6M FT8 from FN34 last year on FD.? Wire antenna.

KE4QFB Larry,
KE4UW Dave, N1KDO Jeff, and WB4SQ Gary.? Gary is also bringing a neighbor who can operate as a GOTA operator (John can also operate GOTA as well).
We have 3 or 4 radios
committed:? Eddie’s IC-7300, Larry’s FTDX-10, my TS-590, and
maybe Jeff’s K3.?
We can decide FD weekend if we want to operate as 3A or 4A.? We have the option to use all
four radios and be
3A if one radio is used only for GOTA and/or 6m.
The TS-590 will be set up for CW, digital, or phone.? The IC-7300 and K3 for digital, and the FTDX-10 for phone.? I have a TS-2000 for a spare, but it’s good for phone or CW only.??
Barring some
unforeseen solar snafu, we should have access to 10/15/20/40 during the day, so we can keep four radios busy.?
At night we should have 80 and 40, and 20/15 until the wee hours when we won’t have four operators left awake anyway.
?? The goal is to have enough radios to keep everybody who wants to operate operating enough to make it fun.? Take time to cool off in the pool, shoot
the breeze a bit, or watch others to learn something new.? Maybe a couple other folks will come by and operate a little bit—use that time to take a break.

arrl paying ransom for data
Dave, I'm still blown away from your report from the?ARRL Forum at the hamfest.
"The FBI does not support paying a ransom in response to a ransomware attack.?Paying a ransom doesn’t guarantee you or your organization will get any data back. It also encourages perpetrators to target more victims and offers an incentive for others to get involved in this type of illegal activity. "
Unbelievable.??
Meanwhile.? Make backups of your own stuff.? Don't leave the backups online.

Gents,
Would like to get together on Saturday, June 15 (the weekend before FD) to get the laptops we’ll use for FD set up with the latest versions of N1MM and WSJT-X and set up and test rig interface, networking, Seems like every year there are a few wrinkles that need to be ironed out, and it’s best to figure it out early enough that we can get anything else we may need before FD weekend.? How about 1:30 or so (and maybe a lunch gathering before).
Eddie and I can make it.? How about Jeff?? Larry?? Others are welcome as well if you want to test drive the software.
Generally it takes an hour or two, except for those wrinkles.? ?? The pool will be warm and the beer cold, so hang out a bit if you’d like.
Also, mark your calendar for FD setup on Friday, June 21.? I’ll take care of getting the wire antennas up, and other folks can get all the radios and computers playing together nicely.? If we start around 9:30 we can take a break around 1:00 for some lunch, and should have everything done by supper time.? Depending on how we feel, we can order some carry out for dinner, or go grab a bit somewhere.? Ultimate goal is to have everything working and ready to copy ARRL CW and digital bulletins Friday evening.
