ANNOUNCEMENTS

We begin tonight with an apology and Thank You to Rob KA7ERV. Rob missed a critical step in the Advanced NBEMS Exercise last week. No wonder Rob and so many others have missed this step. We’ve not mentioned it once. Truthfully, we didn’t realize our error until Rob missed it last Tuesday. We failed to mention the crucial task of maintaining focus on net operations WHILE working the Advanced Exercise. Monitoring stations don’t have to
be ready for the Traffic round or pay appention to net operations.

The after-net Monitor’s Session works very well for learning the NBEMS Exercises w/o the pressure of on-air participation. You can learn and repeat the Exercise until they’re second-nature, but when you move to participating on-air, there’s time pressure and the need to remain focused on your place in net operations. You have to add another level of awareness to processing the Exercise. You can’t copy the file 100% and begin working the
Advanced Exercise w/o following NCS. Otherwise, you’ll miss your Report calls and stall the Exercise. Once you Report CONFIRMED, NCS stops calling. No problem working the Advanced Exercise immediately when you’re able to maintain focus on your place in the net and reply when called.

Tonight we’ll work another Advanced NBEMS Exercise. Advance Exercises can accommodate eight stations. If you don’t make the cut, work the Exercise silently and FILL or CONFIRM in the after-net Monitor’s Session. Next week’s session is the 1st Tuesday of April and a Basic NBEMS Exercise. Basic Exercises can accommodate 12 stations. No Macro experiments next week. We’ll publish the beginning/ending test images as usual. The Comment Round will be comments only, no test images.

Why are we still harping about Ck-In Protocol?  We run ck-in w/Squelch open to accommodate weak signals and VidIDs. Here’s an example of our log before Editing out the noise for publication. TEXT in CAPS stands out clearly. The two lower case CALLSIGNS take a lot more time to locate.

Ck-In is our busiest time; please use the Ck-In Macros available here: http://orcadigitalnet.com/macros/

Check-out a Draft of ‘How to Conduct the Basic NBEMS Exercise’ here: http://orcadigitalnet.com/ncs-tools/basic-nbems-exercise/ The NBEMS Exercise Macro file will be available for download.

If you’re comfortable working the Advanced NBEMS Exercise and your signal generally covers the net, you can run the Basic NBEMS Exercise as NCS. All you need is a little off-net instruction and practice. Already we have two Ops interested in running a Basic Exercise. Both are comfortable with the Advanced Exercise and have solid signals. Have a little fun among colleagues and broaden your digital networking skills.

Next is the Advanced NBEMS Exercise w/Mindy W7ZAP   < K7KY
Before RSID: <<2022-03-30T02:45Z MFSK-32 @ 1500>>

GE, our 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).

Tonight exercise had a pucker factor to it. Busy last week was at cabin had to fix multiple sections of barbwire fence, darn bulls free range. Then usual spring weeds need attention and then tore down the doublet and relocated to the back. Got it back up 34 feet but ran out of time and energy to get the rest of the wire up. Next trip hopefully will get it up and tuned. Can’t wait to see if this will resolve a few issues I was having out there.

No sun here today, no rain either.  Ain’t fair I tell ya Listened to lots of DX on the upper bands.  10m was amazing, and even worked a station in Alabama on 15m with 100w.  However conditions on 75m started rough, but have improved with evening hours.

Unusually noisy here today.  Hopefully noise tapers off soon.

Doug, your audio went south for a bit when transmitting the raw copy of check-ins.  Don’t know what happened!

PSKR modes again don’t do well with multipath and fading conditions.

Great to see folks on the WF tonight!

Stay well, stay safe.

QRZ forum comment states Today we learned that the FCC has decided to start collecting a $35 fee for a 10-year amateur radio license. The fees will begin on April 19th of this year. These fees are to be paid online, by the amateurs themselves using the FCC’s CORES system. For many hams, this means dealing with both Volunteer Examiners as well as the FCC, in separate transactions.

https://forums.qrz.com/index.php?threads/fcc-announces-license-fees. Start saving for that license renewal. 73’s WA7HHE

Yes, the License fee goes up     our gov’t gives away so much $ they need more from the small fry  BK

I was just chkn for monitor session.   Shaddowed tonight’s activities, but looks like not much activity for the after session! k

not tonite, I guess    we’ve had as many as 7 Ops for this session, but it’s up & down BK anyone else b4 we close the Monitor’s Session?  < K7KY

KE6SLS  < K7KY Jaye   the Monitor’s Session has worked very well for helping Ops learn the Exercises w/o stalling the Exercise     we just realized we’vfe not done well in explaining that they have to also pay attention to net flow… very good training and practice for a busy emergency net   btu  < K7KY

K7KY de KE6SLS RG, I think I mentioned that last week.  Wishing the fldigi would give a ping or something on copy of YOURCALL  .. Early on, that bug would catch me off gaurd, but I also listen to audio, and always look after a long puase of activity to make sure I’m not being summoned    It’s a talent that has to be developed over time.  Always keeping one eyeball on the monitor screen

ke6sls k


texactly  I don’t mind there’s no CALLSIGN crutch for them   it’s better they learn focus and a bit of multi-tasking   for working emergency traffic look how well most of the long-time Ops do with all the Exercises    these are not really simple exercises, but they make them look easy  btu  < K7KY
