Net Control Help Needed !!!!!

Hello guys and gals,

 I am looking for Net Controls Operators for the QuestionAir net. This net
meets every Tuesday at 7PM and runs for an hour. It's a great way to get to
know other members of the club and non members. Also they can learn about
you. If you can make a commitment please text me at 713-410-3948. Maybe try
out being a backup net control. Back up net control just waits till one of
the net control operators needs help, then it's your turn.

Anthony Morones

 Katy Area Safety Fest 09/16/2023? Katy Mills Mall
 https://katyareasafetyfest.org/
 
 Join us for the Katy Area Safety Fest!
 The Katy Area Safety Fest (KASF) is a free, family-friendly festival featuring personnel, equipment, and activities from emergency response agencies serving the Greater Katy community.
 The goal of KASF is to connect community members to the men and women who serve in these agencies as well as provide education and resources to encourage safety preparedness.
 
 
 
 Participating Agencies, I'm pretty sure the Boeing CH-47 Chinook will be out again this year

 Notice # 1
Message-ID: <CABNEQE-PZMRMGNfjvp1Vh-bLem0A39=TQeP-s570PhhTK-A5RQ@mail.gmail.com>

Having many stations try and contact you in Texas and, more specifically,
in your Texas county, is a joy that comes around just once a year.

Saturday Sept 16  9AM to 9PM CDT  and then again Sunday Sept 17th 9AM to 3
PM.   Operate CW, SSB or Digital, as much or as little as you see fit.

Put your county on the air by "running" (calling "CQ TQP") or "hunt and
pounce"  and log all of the other counties that you hear on 160 thru 10
meters.

The Exchange is simple -- RS(T) and County (4 letter abbreviation).  Log
using N3FJP, N1MM or even just a paper and pencil, but log submission is a
Cabrillo file using the 4 letter county designations.

*Find details at   https://www.txqp.net/ <https://www.txqp.net/>*

*Rules At:  https://www.txqp.net/index.php/rules/operating-rules
<https://www.txqp.net/index.php/rules/operating-rules>*

*County 4 letter abbreviations:  (must be used and logged as such) *

It's fun and a chance to get on the air and be heard.   73...Rick  W5RH

My shack is set up for multi-2 operation. My goal since 1999 has been to erect two towers to support the Multi-2 operation.? he first tower was erected in 1999. This tower has endured three hurricanes, and all of the antennas have been destroyed.? I have another two towers ready to put up, but this is likely not a good idea.? So, my multi-2 goal has ended.I am now selling one of the stations.? It consists of:IC-7610, SP-41 speaker, SM-30 mic, Begali Sculpture paddles, Astron S-30M power supply, Alpha 87A omega amp, PalStar HF-AUTO tuner, Alpha Power 4520 power meter, custom remote power switch (to disconnect 120 and 240 for lightning protection.? I purchased all of this gear new.? The retail was over $15,000.? I will sell the bundle for $8000 cash.? If you want an individual piece of gear, let me know and I will quote you a good price.Keith NM5G

Hello everyone! Just a reminder that *Brews with **BVARC is TONIGHT Tuesday
September 12th at 6:30pm! *We will be at 8th Wonder Brewery near downtown
Houston. Please come out if you can. There's always great conversation and
camaraderie out at these events, and we hope this one will be no exception.
I will be on *146.520MHz FM Simplex* so you can reach out to me if you have
trouble finding our table.

Please check out their website (https://8thwonder.com/) to see their
various signature beers (the Rocket Fuel on Nitro is one of my favorites)
and there may be a few others on tap when we get there. They should have a
food truck on-site today and have indoor as well as a nice outdoor seating
area if it has finally cooled down enough for us to try that out. As
always, arrive when you can, be safe, be responsible, and let's have fun! I
will see you there.

*September Brews with BVARC:*
*When:*
TODAY! Tuesday September 12th at 6:30pm
*Where: *
8th Wonder Brewery
2202 Dallas St.
Houston, TX 77003

Message-ID: <CAEv1Hq1bXqKAtmGcz=kVjCSahd3-cPTMdJ6QRD=DR==5ZqDk8Q@mail.gmail.com>

I want to remind you all that we will have another great BVARC POTA event
coming up at *Brazos Bend State Park *(September 24th 10am - 5pm).
 It should be a really great time with friends, some delicious food, and of
course some fun on the radio.

[image: 1a46b7a5-11a0-40de-a621-e5a49249de75.jpg]

For this Sunday at Brazos Bend State Park we expect to set up near Elm
Lake. Be sure to get a map and ask for directions to the site at the park
headquarters when you come in, and you can also *reach out to us on
146.520MHz FM Simplex while in the vicinity of the park*.


The important details:

   - Park access is $6/ Adult. Ask for a day use area pass. More info on:
   tpwd.texas.gov <https://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/stephen-f-austin>
   - *IF* you have a Texas State Park Pass, then admission for the day is
   *FREE*.
   - *ALSO*, if you are over 65 years old, you can request a Senior Partial
   Texas Parklands Passport to get half-off of park admission (rounded to the
   nearest dollar). Speak to the Park Rangers when you arrive or visit
   tpwd.texas.gov
   <https://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/park-information/passes#:~:text=If%20you%20are%2065%20years,of%20you%20will%20pay%20%242.>
for
   details.
   - *We will have at least 4 HF radios *(40m, 20m, 15m, 10m, and
   possibly 17m or 80m) that you can use if you don't have your own. So all
   you need to bring is yourself, some water, and maybe some snacks.
   - If you'd like to bring your own radio, we have a few antennas you can
   use and the appropriate filters. But again, you don't *need *to bring
   any equipment.
   - *Technician class licensees ARE WELCOME!* You *CAN *operate the
   stations on ALL HF bands that are available and get POTA credit for
   contacts you make. You will be required to use the club call sign (ask me
   or Kori (WX5KR) for details upon arrival).
   - If you're a Tech class license holder and would like to operate on 10m
   you may do so under your own call sign if the station is open (10m band
   conditions have been favorable lately).
   - Of course, you do not have to operate the radios, you can just come
   out for a fun time with your fellow hams.
   - 10 contacts are all that are required to "activate" the park. You can
   log with paper, or with any apps you prefer (we recommend the HAMRS App
   <http://hamrs.app/>).
   - Sign up on the POTA.app <http://pota.app/> website to upload your logs
   after the event.

If you've been curious about trying CW, FT8, or Winlink (VARA HF, 2m Packet
etc.) we will have those as optional modes you can try (more to come in the
future). As before, if you can't make this event, we are doing them every
month. POTA is a lot of fun, and we hope to see you out there with us this
weekend. Contact me or Kori (WX5KR) if you have any questions about this
event.

*See you soon, 73!*

Kori,
I do wish you would put this information out at least a week or so before
it happens. I would have liked to join but this
short of notice does not work. If I had known I could have brought clothes
to change into. I even looked on the BVARC webpage to see if the event was
listed there. Unless I missed it I did not
see it listed.

I want to remind you all that we will have another great BVARC?POTA?event coming up at?Brazos Bend State Park?(September 24th 10am - 5pm).
?It should be a really great time with friends, some delicious food, and of course some fun on the radio.



For this Sunday at Brazos Bend State Park we expect to set up near?Elm Lake. Be sure to get a map and ask for directions to the site at the park headquarters when you come in, and you can also?reach out to us on 146.520MHz FM Simplex while in the vicinity?of the park.


The important details:
????* Park access is $6/ Adult. Ask for a day use area pass. More info on:?tpwd.texas.gov
????* IF?you have a Texas State Park Pass, then admission for the day is?FREE.
????* ALSO, if you are over 65 years?old, you can request a Senior Partial Texas Parklands Passport to get half-off of park admission (rounded to the nearest?dollar). Speak to the Park Rangers when you arrive or visit?tpwd.texas.gov?for details.
????* We will have at least 4 HF radios?(40m, 20m, 15m, 10m, and possibly?17m or 80m)?that you can use if you don't have your?own. So all you need to bring is yourself, some water, and?maybe some snacks.
????* If you'd like to bring your own radio, we have a few antennas you can use and the appropriate filters. But again, you don't?need?to bring any equipment.
????* Technician class licensees ARE WELCOME!?You?CAN?operate the stations on ALL HF bands that are available and get?POTA?credit for contacts you make. You will be required to use the club call sign (ask me or Kori (WX5KR) for details upon arrival).
????* If you're a Tech class license holder and would like to operate on 10m you may do so under your own call sign if the station is open (10m band conditions have been favorable lately).
????* Of course, you do not have to operate the radios, you can just come out for a fun time with your fellow hams.
????* 10 contacts are all that are required to "activate" the park. You can log with paper, or with any apps you prefer (we recommend the?HAMRS?App).
????* Sign up on the?POTA.app?website to upload your logs after the event.
If you've been curious about trying CW, FT8, or Winlink (VARA HF, 2m Packet etc.) we will have those as optional modes you can try (more to come in the future). As before, if you can't make this event, we are doing them every month.?POTA?is a lot of fun, and we hope to see you out there with us this weekend. Contact me or Kori (WX5KR) if you have any questions about this event.

See you soon,?73!

Message-ID: <CAEv1Hq3BrsCG-PuBe_3FMHgChrnNvAiS-Lz4a2ZDhOWyN+O8dg@mail.gmail.com>

*Hello guys and gals,*

* I am looking for Net Controls Operators for the QuestionAir net. This net
meets every Tuesday at 7PM and runs for an hour. It?s a great way to get to
know other members of the club and non members. Also they can learn about
you. If you can make a commitment please text me at 713-410-3948. Maybe try
out being a backup net control. Back up net control just waits till one of
the net control operators needs help, then it?s your turn.*

I stay away from Autozone unless its the only thing available. Too bad theres not many accessible NAPA Auto Parts stores around this area. Especially in the topic of car batteries.

Your best bet would be an Everstart Plus or Everstart MAXX at Walmart.? 
I've been getting around 4 yrs from Everstart MAXX and the price is a 
lot cheaper than any of the other parts houses

The best deal I could find on a car battery about 6 months ago was at Costco.?? They have most sizes in stock and its just quick exchange in and out with out a bunch of up sales BS.

Dwayne and all:

First of all, apologies for the late notice on the Brews with BVARC event
Tuesday. Despite the late email alert, we had a decent turnout and it was a
great event overall. I make sure to mention this and all of the
other upcoming events on the Wednesday Stir-Crazy net. But to be fair I
have been slipping on email alerts lately and I will make sure to have my
VP monthly update email -that seemed to be well received in past months-
sent out for the foreseeable future.. As many of you know I've been pretty
distracted with family matters for the past several weeks, so that among
other things has kept me from getting emails out earlier. BUT, to avoid
this for next time I put the information for the next Brews with BVARC for
the month of October below, so please mark your calendars. Speaking of
calendars, I wanted to go ahead and share one I've created that holds all
of the upcoming (30 days out) BVARC events. As soon as times and dates are
confirmed I will place them in this calendar, so if you would like to add
this calendar to your own calendar application, you will get alerts of
upcoming events (in-person events and nets), and you can reference it in
the future instead of having to hunt for specific events in your inbox or
on the website (you should still check the website for updates though!).


*OCTOBER Brews with BVARC:When:*
Tuesday October 10th at 6:30pm
*Where:*
Holler Brewing Co.
2206 Edwards St. Suite A
Houston, TX 77007

I hope this helps us all stay on the same page about upcoming club events
and allows us to have even more opportunities to see each other.

 I have a friend who went to AutoZone with an old battery in his F-150 that was about 5 years old and was failing.? The manager of the store looked him up and found he was a Vietnam veteran.? The manager replaced the battery with the best one available (Delco) for no charge.

Best of luck to all of the TQP participants and wishes for good prop and
lots of activity.   The safest of travels to the mobiles.  Listen for
Sabine County (far east TX) on phone, a fairly rare one, but not this time,
if I can help it   HI.

Wonder if we will ever get  LiFePO4   batteries for cars?.. at a reasonable price.  I think they have some desirable properties?. especially weight.

I?m a little late to the party here but I?m curious if there is any initial setting I need to tweek on N3FJP Amateur Contact Log software to get it ready for TXQP?
Or besides the initial config of my own call and location details, is it ready to go ?out of the box??

Thanks

I use N3FJP ACL software with State QSO Party Programs that I downloaded
from their website.
The free version is limited to 20 contacts. Consult the instructions on the
website.

Thanks. The website says the arrl field day app is limited to 20 entries and the ACL software is full version but limited to 45 days of use without paying/registering.

I get that part. I looked thru all the menus and saw nothing that indicated that I needed to configure anything for any particular contest.

Chris, you don't "HAVE" to use the QSO parties software but they are
designed to have places for special exchange info to be recorded.
As an example: the TXQP software has a place on the screen to record your
contacts county. EXAMPLE: Fort Bend is FBEN.

On  the N5FJP home page, at the top, you will find a dropdown tab labeled
"Contest Logs".  With your cursor on the tab, you will see "State
Party Contest Logs."  This is where you will find the "Texas QSO party Log"
that you can download.

For the best value I recommend that you purchase the complete package.
Details on FJP's home page.

Hope this helps,
Roy - W5TKZ

All,
Not sure if my previous message made it on the count of the large attachment, so I?m resending it with a smaller picture in JPEG format this time.  

I?ve decided to part with my IC 7300.  It?s a great radio and I?ve been the only owner of the unit.  Selling for $900.

Please contact me if you?re interested.

73,

Hey Theresa,
I understand.  The IC 7300 is a great radio I think.  I particularly like the latest firmware which lets you configure the radio for ?FT8" with a single button.  No need for multiple menu setting changes.  The 7300 has an internal sound card so there?s no need for a "Signalink box? to run FT8, all that?s needed is the (included) USB cable.

By the way, looking in my shack, I have a Xiegu G90 I'll be selling also.  This one?s great for POTA & comes with accessories such as: the foldable kick stand, the CE-19 breakout box, the blue USB CAT control cable, external sound card, and cables that let it run FT8.  Xiegu G90 & accessories for $400.

FYI I?m not getting out of the hobby, far from it.  I plan to sell these radios and get another one. 

Please contact me if interested.

73,
Stephen (W2WF)

My first too, as well as setting up n1mm for logging so I hope I got it right. If you?re using n1mm the station info has a slot for the club.

Hi Ralph, this is Susan, one of your HAM students from 2019-2020!  I hope this email finds you well.  I have a vintage Tandy Radio Shack Cellular Mobile Phone Model CT-1033.  Would you or any in your groups want it, to restore, etc.  I dont want to just donate or throw it away.  The wiring from the phone to the pack would have to be replaced but the battery pack and phone are in good shape from what I can tell.  Not sure if the batteries will still hold a charge, but the charger is included.

This ebay posting is exactly like what I have, bag and everything

I would think that if you lobbied the 2024 BOD that they might come around
.  Maybe just cooking them a meal of luscious French cuisine would do it  HI

I would think that if you lobbied the 2024 BOD that they might come around .  Maybe just cooking them a meal of luscious French cuisine would do it  HI

Hello BVARC,

We are just *48 hours away *from the next *BVARC POTA* event and I wanted
to give you one more reminder (as well as a reminder of the *new Pre-POTA
net on 40m Saturday night at 8pm!*). We will be going to Brazos Bend State
Park on *Sunday* *September **24th* doing Parks On The Air (POTA). This is
an official BVARC event, and we will be using the club call sign KK5W. If
you're interested in participating or just hanging out with us,
we're asking folks to come by between *10am to 5pm*. We will be located at
the far end of the Elm Lake part of the park. Call us on *146.520 MHz
simplex* if you would like to reach out to us while in the park for
directions.

I also want to remind you of our *new Pre-POTA net *which will be taking
place tomorrow night at 8pm on 40m. We don?t have a fixed frequency yet,
but we will post on the reflector, and Facebook as soon as we know where
we'll be on 40m. The date will always be the evening before the POTA event,
so for this time around it is *Saturday September 23rd at 8pm on 40m*.

There are 3 ways to check in (even if you Technician class operator):

   1. RF: you can use your HF rig if you have 40m SSB privileges
   2. Phone check in: You can use a WebSDR to listen to the net. We will
   give the number on the air, and we will recognize your station.
   3. Net logger. In the net logger software, there is a button named AIM.
   There you can type a message, and we will recognize your station.


Other important POTA details:

   - Park access is $7. Ask for a day use area pass.
   - *IF* you have a Texas State Park Pass, then admission for the day is
   *FREE*.
   - *We will have at least 4 HF radios *(40m, 20m, 15m, 10m, and
   possibly 17m or 80m) that you can use if you don't have your own. So all
   you need to bring is yourself, some water, and maybe some snacks.
   - If you'd like to bring your own radio, we have a few antennas you can
   use and the appropriate filters. But again, you don't *need *to bring
   any equipment.
   - *Technician class licensees ARE WELCOME!* You *CAN *operate the
   stations on ALL HF bands that are available and get POTA credit for
   contacts you make. You will be required to use the club call sign (ask me
   or Anthony W5LIC for details upon arrival).
   - If you're a Tech class license holder and would like to operate on 10m
   you may do so under your own call sign if the station is open (10m band
   conditions have been favorable lately).
   - Of course, you do not have to operate the radios, you can just come
   out for a fun time with your fellow hams.
   - 10 contacts are all that are required to "activate" the park. You can
   log with paper, or with any apps you prefer (we recommend the HAMRS App
   <http://hamrs.app/>).
   - Sign up on the POTA.app <http://pota.app/> website to upload your logs
   after the event.


*Sunday September 24th, 10am - 5pm*
*Brazos Bend State Park*

*21901 FM 762Needville, TX 77461*

Thanks and 73!

Message-ID: <B2C640C4-9E08-494E-A0F8-10104ECE6B49@gmail.com>

?Afternoon, 
    First of all, thank you for all the responses to my last email about antennas. I have another question related to the same topic and looking off some guidance. I normally setup my hf antenna for weekend use in my backyard. It?s a mfj 1979 17ft vertical. It is mounted on a flag pole rod that I just hammer into the soil close to the backyard fence. I have two sets of 4 radials  in 180 degree pattern since I have a fence on the other side. When I use the rig expert to check swr, it?s always around 1.15-1.2. While the we is very low, the noise is crazy high. Most of the stations are extremely noisy. For some reason, I was able to hear really well few weeks ago. Is this something I am doing wrong or something to do with propagation ?

For the above setup, I am always on 20m ssb. I do have few metal trellis hanging near to the antenna few ft away but I am not sure if they cause any interference.
Disclaimer: I don?t know how to read the noise level on my radio yet, apologies if this is the most basic thing I should have known before I do anything. Trying to learn as quickly as I can ?
Thanks,
Venkata Appala

Hi Venkata,

Vertical antennas are noisy because most man-made noise is vertically polarized.   An inverted V on 20 meters with the apex at the top of a 6-foot fence and the ends about a foot above the ground will be quitter and may even give you better coverage.  You can make a fence tip antenna out of a few dollars' worth of wire and have some fun.

I have good luck nation wide with my fence mounted antenna and a hundred wats.  And best of all , my HOA has no idea I'm a ham.

Look up NVIS antennas on the internet.  There is a lot of info on these low wire antennas.

Nick, KE5AY

Subject: [BVARC] Signal noise and suggestion on how to reduce it

?Afternoon, 
    First of all, thank you for all the responses to my last email about antennas. I have another question related to the same topic and looking off some guidance. I normally setup my hf antenna for weekend use in my backyard. It?s a mfj 1979 17ft vertical. It is mounted on a flag pole rod that I just hammer into the soil close to the backyard fence. I have two sets of 4 radials  in 180 degree pattern since I have a fence on the other side. When I use the rig expert to check swr, it?s always around 1.15-1.2. While the we is very low, the noise is crazy high. Most of the stations are extremely noisy. For some reason, I was able to hear really well few weeks ago. Is this something I am doing wrong or something to do with propagation ?

For the above setup, I am always on 20m ssb. I do have few metal trellis hanging near to the antenna few ft away but I am not sure if they cause any interference.
Disclaimer: I don?t know how to read the noise level on my radio yet, apologies if this is the most basic thing I should have known before I do anything. Trying to learn as quickly as I can ?
Thanks,
Venkata Appala

I am using the same type of antenna. The MFJ 1979. I have mine mounted on my metal fence in the backyard. I do have noise but since I got a new radio, the filter knocks it out and I am able to get good copies on everything. Check things like your power supply and cut the power off in the house and see if the noise drops at all.

How long are the radials?  The more copper you can put on the ground, the better. If they are about 15' long, doubling what you have should do a good job for you.

Hello everyone, 
 Thank you for the quick replies. Sorry, was driving home and couldn?t reply earlier. 

About the radials, they are 14ft each copper wires. Thanks for the suggestion about extending them. Will try to build more in the coming weekend?s.

On the radio, it?s a Yaesu ft710. I am using the dnr but last weekend was worse. I just went back and took down the antenna to figure out what?s going on.
On the power, I need to look into it this weekend. I am using a surge protector connected to powerwerx supply. Will try to connect directly and see if that?s the culprit.
About the inverted antenna, I need to explore this option. Should be a good learning experiment.

I have found that I can get noise sometimes when the dishwasher or washer/dryer is running. Keep the coax as far away from house walls (wiring) as you can. May help. Also, learn to narrow your filters. I think you can do that on the Yaesu. But if you can, test the radio with various things in the house turned off and on. You may well find a culprit.

Jeff, you might have solved my problem. Couple weeks ago, I started routing my cable via kitchen to avoid kids( one of them is just 3 yr old) and close to the appliances. That might be it. I will go back to my old way of routing cables. Thank you for the suggestion.

That?s awesome John. Loving the radio. The antenna setup is super fast as well. I am done in 5 mins. Just purchased the wolf river coil and hopefully, will join the bvarc rag chew soon.

Subject: [BVARC] Signal noise and suggestion on how to reduce it

On Yaesu radios ensure you pay attention to IPO -- Intercept Point
Optimization setting.   Also ensure your RF Gain is not  on "13"
(reference to Spinal Tap) but more at the point where the S meter is riding
the band noise peaks.  Also ensure you NB is off or if you need NB for some
reason, adjust it to just handling the impulse noise and no further.
Sorry it this is a repeat of info, but I have instructed quite a few Yaesu
users to adjust their radios as they had all controls set to "13".  it
quieted their receivers down quite a bit.

Cool thanks for this info Rick. Up until just a few years ago I have always been a die-hard Kenwood guy for HF (TS-120 then TS-570S), now the very popular 991a, I never would have known this info. And believe it or not, I?ve read through the operators manual more than once.

Next time I fire it up, I will definitely have to tweak my RF Gain and see what happens.

On Yaesu radios ensure you pay attention to IPO -- Intercept Point Optimization setting.   Also ensure your RF Gain is not  on "13"  (reference to Spinal Tap) but more at the point where the S meter is riding the band noise peaks.  Also ensure you NB is off or if you need NB for some reason, adjust it to just handling the impulse noise and no further.
Sorry it this is a repeat of info, but I have instructed quite a few Yaesu users to adjust their radios as they had all controls set to "13".  it quieted their receivers down quite a bit.

Venkat and Chris,

Have a read of this Radio Hotel column...from September 2017

https://bvarc.org/rh/rh_1709.pdf      HF Receiver Basics

It might shed some light on your issues.  Might not solve the noise problem
completely, but it will steer you in the direction of having your HF
receiver set up properly.  At the end of this Radio Hotel article is a
reference to an ARRL "The Doctor is In" podcast with Joel Hallas (sk) that
will add some additional enlightenment.   Do a search on QST for HF
Receiving.  Lastly, the ARRL Operators Manual will shed some light too
along with a visit from your well experienced Elmer.   .

Looks like you are on the path to understanding HF receiving.  I wish you
well.  Enjoy the hobby....73...Rick  W5RH

I don't know if it was mentioned yet, but on my Yaesu FT-891 I typically 
have my DNR set to 4 and it seem to do a pretty good job of clearing up 
the audio.

Also at a past Field Day event (all of them were in the past) at the 
GOTA station we were being hammered pretty good by the other stations at 
the KK5W site, so we found that using the attenuation function helped 
tremendously. It might help with the noise issue as well.

Thanks John. I set the DNR to 4 already. As Jeff(Greer) mentioned, it appears the main culprit could be the way I was running my coax in the home. I was running it near to the kitchen appliances and guess that interfered. I set up the radio this evening and it?s performing way better than last two weeks. I have to yet turn on the DNR today :). Rick sent a nice article on HF receiver basics and I am planning to go through it which might help understand the various components including attenuation.

Thanks once again for the guidance,
