I want to thank everyone who helped out with the
VHF contest this past weekend.? It was a good shakedown for
field day and pointed out a lot of issues that need to be
addressed.? However sometime during the contest, the USB dongle
that connects the keyboard and mouse to the computer was removed
and is now nowhere to be found.? Also, the batteries to both the
mouse and keyboard were also removed.? Hey, all this stuff was
working perfectly on Friday before Al moved the trailer so I see
no need for anything to have been changed.? So if anyone
happened to put the (very small) dongle into their pocket or
knows where it is located in the trailer please let me know.?
Otherwise, we will have to purchase a new keyboard and mouse.

I wasn't there but I know that the USB dongle, in many cases, can be stored in the mouse for safe keeping.? Just wanted to throw it out as an idea.

For those of you that are chasing paper such as DXCC or WAS there is no quicker way to obtain these than jumping into the contest arena.? Be careful though as contesting can become rather addictive.? When searching for Worked All States using contests state-sponsored?QSO parties are very good at grabbing that state you have been trying to get into your log.? That being said today happens to be one of the better ones, the 7QP QSO party which to those that don't know stands for the call area number 7 QSO party.? It includes all of the states in call area 7 which by the authority of the Federal Communications Commission, Oregon just happens to be in!? In addition to 7QP, there are also QSO parties in all the states of New England (CT, ME, NH, RI, VT) Delaware (which is always difficult as I am sure only 3 hams live there), and Indiana.? Generally, Indiana is an easy state to get into your log but the states in New England arent.? The 7QP contest is sponsored?by Dick Frey, K4XU who lives up in Bend OR.? Below is some more info for those interested.
73,
Jim WO7V Are you ready for 7QP? Checklist: ??? Saturday May 1st reserved for 7QP operation ??? Radio working on all bands ??? All antennas up and ready ??? Logging program installed, (N1MM+, N3FJP,? etc,) ??? Radio connected to computer ??? 7QP website checked for needed Oregon counties ??? Going mobile? ??? ??? Radio installed and antennas tuned ??? ??? Driver or copilot rounded up ??? ??? Route planned ??? Notify 7QP of your intended operation at? 7qpops@...?? No, you don't have to put in a full 18 hour effort. We just want Oregon to be well represented. This is your chance to be DX for a day.The weather will be nice and we have reserved an extra sunspot just for the occasion. We still need a few counties, like Washington, Jackson, and Umatilla to insure we have all 36 Oregon counties on the air. Check out the?page on the 7QP web site.? Got questions?? Look at the??on the 7QP site or send an inquiry to? info@.... 7QP is now the second biggest QSO party in the country. California is still #1, but we keep trying.? I'm looking forward to hearing you! 73,

We still have a few Arrow #J-Pole antennas left!
#j-pole
The club has recently purchased few J-Pole antennas from Arrow to make available to local hams at a reduced price.? These are about 2/3 of the $60 price that Arrow will charge you; plus there are no shipping charges!? These antennas are dual-band and cover the 2m and 70cm bands.? In the past, it was popular to construct these out of copper pipe but with the price of copper nowadays I seriously one could be constructed that matches the performance, quality, and integrity?of these Arrow J-Pole antennas.? So if you are interested in purchasing one of these $40 antennas send me an email direct WO7V@... we will work it out.? So far we have sold 5 and only have 5 left so pick them up while you can!
