RE: Welfare Messaging System. Pat(rick) KK7KGP and I will have time to spend on getting updated on the Welfare Messaging System this coming autumn. We will probably use our Yaesu FT-891 at that time. I will be absent for the GHRC meeting that is scheduled for July 11. Pat may or may not also be absent. We both plan on attending the GHRC meeting on August 1, 2024.?

Ronnie,

That is great! I will put you on the Welfare Messaging System list of hams interested in learning more about Emergency Communications.? I will refer you to Mark-KU7O and Eric-KE7NLU for any questions on how to get set up.? Once you are set-up, would you please create a document of your build and settings.? I have created a Folder in the Files area of our reflector(W7ED groups.io) to hold the Welfare Messaging System documents. ? We don't have any data sheets on an ICOM set-up and would be great to have instructions on the set-up process with an ICOM radio for other club members to view as they on board to WMS.

Thank you and hope you have a great day!

I have checked (again) the SAR building.....NOT THERE.? ;-(

Nor were they in the trailer this year or 5 years ago.? Also, not at

Wilson's or at my place.?

After gaining more understanding of how the Welfare Messaging System works and what all is needed to get started, it seems it is more of an individual project instead of a club project.? In the future as more members are on boarded to the Welfare Messaging System, there will be times of practice, drills, and education as our club and members begin their journey in Emergency Communications.? I don't see a need to write a grant for this project.?

Those that are interested in the Welfare Messaging System can begin and start implementing.? Mark KU7O and Eric KE7NLU are our guinea pigs and will be able to help others.

Thanks, Sracy. The used “perfect” laptop I ordered that was still in its original box never came. I contacted the company and they said the supplier was not responding to their requests for shipment. Don’t go through Poshmark. They are giving me my money back. Shouldn’t be this hard to find a used Windows-based laptop. The hunt goes on. I will find something so I can.do welfare messaging.

Sue,

Oh I can't take credit for that file!? That was all Eric-KE7NLU!!!!? I have not done anything with digital yet but after helping proof read the instructions I feel very confident I could set up my radio and be able to send a message utilizing the Welfare Messaging System.?

I have already submitted the Cabrillo log to the ARRL. W7ED was running as a class 1A station, therefore we could not run a GOTA station:??

? "4.1.1. Get-On-The-Air (GOTA) Station. Any Class A (or F) entry whose transmitter classification is
two or more transmitters may also operate one additional station without changing its base entry category,
known as the GET-ON-THE-AIR (GOTA) station."

??? If Spencer or Trevor operated under their call signs we cannot count them in the W7ED totals, all stations

except the GOTA station must use the same call sign. They CAN list the Gallatin Ham Radio Club in their Cabrillo

file (under CLUB:) to qualify for the "aggregate club score" :

?"An aggregate club score will also be published, which will be the sum of all individual entries indicating a
specific club (similar to the aggregate score totals used in ARRL affiliated club competitions). Participants
from any Class can optionally include a single club name with their submitted results following Field Day."

See Rule 7: Scoring, paragraph 2

Spencer submitted his log under his call sign, I don't know about Trevor.

The only operators listed in the ARRL FD submission are those who did a? CTRl-O? or the 'OPON' command

and entered their call into the log.?

We could certainly use more operators next year!?? :-).

Don,

Hello and hope you are doing well.? Hopefully this log has not been submitted as of yet.? We had a GOTA station at Field Day under KJ7SSS callsign.? I'm sure Spencer has a log of who Got On The Air.? So if we include the GOTA log that will help to increase our club total.? Also Trevor(KG7KCV) was at Field Day and he usually does digital mode.? Digital and CW contacts are worth 2 points each unlike SSB that are only worth 1 point.? I would email both Spencer and Trevor for their logs.? There were 7 campers at Field Day, did any of them make contacts for the club?

Just an FYI, I am currently helping and hopefully training some others to be able to operate this next Field Day.? We have a whole year to train!? So be ready because I very much like to operate and will be encouraging and training more YLs to be able to operate for next Field Day.? We gotta get those numbers up! HiHi

That is awesome. Thank you Stacy. ?Personally, the reason I became involved in ham was for the emergency communication capability.?

Hello all,

I've seen some posts for new hams looking for used equipment.

I have some units that would be great for those getting started.

Some of these were donated to the club and ERA so the proceeds would go
to them. Some are mine and excess to my needs.

Just a short list:

Several 2 meter mobiles. older units but still functional.

Coax switches. 2 position

2 meter mobile antennas.

Lots of test equipment.

Kenwood TS-2000 all band all mode HF/VHF/UHF radio with satellite
functions. Includes Microham III interface to hook to a computer for
control

CS-800-D VHF/UHF mobile radio with both analog and DMR modes. Type
accepted for both commercial and ham use.

I don't have time to make a complete list so contact me and will arrange
eyeball contact.
