ANNOUNCEMENTS

Tonight is the last Basic NBEMS Exercise for March. We’ll run two Advanced NBEMS Exercises later this month, Mar22nd & Mar29th. We won’t experiment with Macros on those dates.

Again this evening, we’ll use the Path Evaluation Macro during Comments. You’ll send comments and our Test image in a single transmission, in either order. Pay attention to your opening/closing ID. Whatever the order, you only ID at the beginning and end. Add this Zulu Time Tag [ZT:%H:%M:%Sz] immediately after your opening ID, ie: ‘ORCA < <MYCALL [ZT:%H:%M:%Sz]’.

If you missed adding a Time Tag to your Path Evaluation Macro in last week’s Net Report, you have an unanticipated opportunity. You can alter your macro now, on-the-fly, with a little time pressure for additional realism. Follow the example in the previous paragraph. If you accomplish this task between now and Comments, and remain aware of your position in net-operations, let us know in your Comments.

Note that the Time Macro in paragraph two is bracketed by [ & ] instead of the correct < & >. You must used the < & > in your Macro. We’ve bracketed the Time Tag with [ & ] to prevent FLDIGI executing it. As far as we know, this only happens when text containing Tags is executed by Macro. This Announcement file is called by the <FILE Tag. To prevent execution, we omit the closing >, but in this case, control characters in the Time Tag confuse FLDIGI and it chokes. Here is the <MYCALL Tag with the correct brackets:  K7KY. FLDIGI prints the variable called by the Tag.
This is a surprise. FLDIGI User Manual 4.1.20 says: “Macro definitions are not recursive, that is; a macro cannot reference another macro or itself”. ??

Don KJ7VGV has been delving into FLNET, an FLDIGI logging application. He’s already learned more than we knew about the program. FLNET has lots of networking applications. If you are interested in FLNET, Don can probably save you a good bit of learning time and help you come up to speed quickly. You can contact him directly after net or via NCS.

We watched the CERT Video from Bountiful,UT recommended by Dennis W6DLW. It reviews a wildfire in Boulder,CO, a community with similar geography and population to Bountiful. This review of a very short-notice event may help your community improve disaster guidelines. The video is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjklwWR3iHw

Next is the Basic NBEMS Exercise w/Mindy W7ZAP  < K7KY

GE, our Basic NBEMS Exercise begins in PSK-500R (800wpm,500bw,80%,FEC).
We’ll fill with PSK-250R (220wpm,250bw,80%,FEC)& MFSK-32 (630hz,120wpm,FEC).

ORCA < <MYCALL><IMAGE:G,C:\Users\Brad Biedermann\Desktop\0RCAtest.png> <TXRSID:on><@TXRSID:off><TX>
ORCA< WA7HHE GE to the net, S 9 noise level at this QTH making for difficult copy. Very busy last several weeks preparing for our Five County ECOMMN Drill using Winlink on H.F. Found Winlink to have a slick picture resizing feature and the VARA Modems are very fast. However the Email based aspect is like communicating to the other end through a tunnel, lacking real time situational awareness for the COMM unit. There is an absence of a net control and ability to ask another station to relay unless prearranged or must have some kind of voice communications. This is where FLDIGI shines. Our scenario was a loss of infrastructure due to a Cyber attack.

RR Brad  Winlink does have some great feature and speed isn’t among them..   ur tunnel idea is good  like talking w/someone on Mars   BK

NCS < WB7EUX – Although early checkins were weak and garbled thanks to the time change, as the hour grew later signals picked up nicely.

Couldn’t get the time stamp to work.

Warmer daytime temps in the 40s and rain has reduced snow around our house and in the fields. So far the water year is ahead of last year by just a bit, at least at my location. Plenty of snow in the mountains which I hope signals a goodly amount of irrigation water for our agrarian economy.

All is well. 73 de WB7EUX

TRR looks to be a ordinary wet Oregon summer and it should be good 4 fire season too.    What’s up with the Zulu time macro?  I hope I didn’t confuse every one with the odd brackets arund the TAG.. we’ll see   BK  Don KJ7VGV, Ur next 4 Comments < K7KY

Finally got my new Rpi with 8GB. Able to load up 64-bit OS and got the Fldigi suite working plus Pat Winlink. It’s so much faster than my 4GB with 32-bit OS.

Just finished eating my home made spaghetti made with turkey sausage and beef TVP. Taste tingling delight!

Bad band conditions tonight only seeing half of check-ins.

Shout out to N2RSN, if he is still on board. Heard him Q5 checking in mobile on the Noon Time Net today. Missing those MO stations tonight(?).

Allright, last time I went pic macro/comment macro. So here I’m going comment/pic with my macro order. YES! I had to add the Zulu info on the fly.
Fingers crossed. Are we to send any in this wk? If all goes to plan, my test image starts … NOW!

This was a good ex tonight, and I was able to drop my FLD squelch in time and had zero drop-outs.  I think fads are the enemy of PSKR modes, where MFSK fairs extremely well with fading condx.

Finally received rain here, between 1/3″ & 3/4″, no puddles, all went to ridiculously dry soil. ..  Hoping for more over the weekend.

Wlad & Eugene, my Ukrainian friends were still alive as of this morning.  Thank god.  Grateful for our line of communications all done with aid of fellow hams.

Looks like we might finally put this DST craziness to bed once and for all.  I am still struggling with the nutty time change.

Next few dinners is stir-fry with shrimp.  The Bubba/Gump folks were right!

Sri if I confused NCS w/chk-in.  Just wanted to relay to Lamar that the phone net before ORCA has moved to 3940 from 3928. :|

Fingers crossed for untested macro .   .   ._

Stay safe, stay well and look for you all down the wf.

Viva Ukraine!

Yes, let’s sink DST     maybe next time on the macro experimenting    we won’t mess with macros 4 the next two sessions   Advanced Exercises take mor time      I was thinking I’d confused everyone on the macro changes tonite, but Lamar reassured me it wasn’t all my doing.  Macro can be tricky  and I spent a couple hours trying to get the instruction clear and concise    maybe they need a bit more work    anywy, next for Comments is Mindy W7ZAP  < K7KYc”

Tough band condx tonight, but short skip is good. Sri no sig rpt at beginning of ck-in. Tnx agn to Don KJ7VGV for his research & testing of FLNET.

Doug & I found a lot of value watching the Bountiful,UT Wildfire Evacuation Seminar. Kudos to Bountiful CERT for interviewing Boulder,CO survivors. “Survivors of the Marshall Fire that destroyed over 1,000 homes teach surprising lessons about emergency evacuation.  Learn what everyone gets wrong with their emergency kits and the easy things you can do that may save your life.”

RELAY via Winlink email: COMMENTS for KB7VX/P
Greetings to all ORCA ops. Tough copy tonight.

Todays announcement from Argentina banning exports of soybeans is kind of ominous. Argentina is the 3rd largest exporter of soy, behind Brazil and the U.S. I was in Argentina from November 2018 through February 2019. One cannot get ANY non-GMO soy products in Argentina or Chile. Everything they grow there is genetically modified. But I went shopping at Wal Mart yesterday, and there were ZERO pasta items available — ZIP, NADA. And the same was true for pasta sauces — absolutely NOTHING.  In addition, they had eliminated three complete rows in the grocery section and had placed clothing in that space, in an attempt to make things look “normal.”  But it was NOT normal. I finally scored some organic pasta sauce at a different store, but the price was outrageous, almost $9 for one jar of pasta sauce. As a friend put it, “You’d better double down on your food production.!”

Getting warmer here in the Ozarks. Today I wore my Rhynoskinz and snake gaiters for the first time.
