Three stations checking in from Missouri tonight pointed to another promising band with favorable conditions. Two MO stations, Keith WA0TJT  and Rick K0KEX used their VideoID to check in with success. I am often suprised how strong the VideoID can be from that distance. ORCA had a record number of 6 stations checking-in with VideoID. A good tool to use when your signal may not be 100% copyable by KBD at the other end, as we see with the MO stations. We received an email from Sila AK0SK indicating that he had been trying to check in and he included his test image, very noisy… but identifiable if you are familiar with the Signal Evaluation image. Thanks to all of you for sending your test images, they really tell the tale for each station’s reception at the beginning and end of the net. Gene W1EEP emails his 1st test image as soon as he receives it, giving us an instant picture of his reception as we are transmitting the rotation list.

Seeing that band conditions were promising, Doug K7KY used the narrow, fast modes of PSK63-RC5 (275wpm, 416hz, 80%dc) and PSK-250R (220wpm, 250hz, 80%dc) with good results. Fred KI7TPD used MFSK-32 (120wpm, 630hz, 100%dc)  to relay missing blocks, completing the exercise.

Here’s an old Amateur truism:
Net frequency is where you find NCS. FLDIGI only searches a few hertz off cursor position. We are always locked @ 1500. If your radio is consistantly off freq, just adjust your dial freq to TX on 1500 < K7KY

Below are images copied around the net indicating band conditions:

We are compiling an email re: Part 97 Amateur Radio Service rules and how you can respond. To follow soon.

Thanks for working with us tonight. Looking forward to doing this again next Tuesday evening.

ANNOUNCEMENTS 03/Sept/2019

Tonight’s FLAMP exercise distributes the file, ‘ex135.txt’, an FLDIGI/FLAMP/
FLMSG exercise. If you complete the OPTIONAL exercise within, send that
file to NCS in the Traffic round with FLAMP.

We would really like to run another Off-Freq Traffic exercise soon, like Sept
17th. We need two volunteers. It’s not a difficult exercise; it’s routine for
Traffic and Emergency nets. If you’ve already done this exercise, and many of
you have, please consider giving it another go. Your work will be an important
contribution to our learning environment.

Are you familiar with ARRL’s FCC petition to restrict all digital signals over
500hz to ACDS (Automatically Controlled Digital Stations) sub-bands?

“What Was the ARRL Thinking?
It was recently revealed that in mid-July the ARRL Board instructed Washington
Counsel David Siddall, K3ZJ, to take steps to obtain FCC approval for several
changes to the Part 97 Amateur Radio Service rules. The requested changes we
all should object to:

Require ALL digital mode stations operating with a bandwidth greater than 500Hz
to operate within the narrow 97.221(b) Automatically Controlled Digital Station
(ACDS) sub bands, whether or not these stations are automatically controlled.
Require all automatically controlled digital mode stations less than 500 Hz
bandwidth to operate only within the ACDS sub bands.”
https://winlink.org/content/what_was_arrl_thinking

Our primary mode, MFSK-32 is 630hz and we use modes as wide 1920hz frequently.
The proposed change would have us move to the 80m ACDS sub-band, 3,585-3,600.
All digital signals over 500hz would be confined to 15khz of the 80m band along
with ALL ACDS signals of ANY BW. It would not work well for ORCA. This issue is
worth understanding fully and sending our thoughts to FCC.

Sorry about sending traffic during the report round. I was just happy to have been able to create the file. This is still a learning curve for me. At least I have discovered where my files go once I create them in FLMSG. That was a good first step. Still getting the hang of this, but enjoying it anyway. I am configuring my macros better. Thanks for putting up with a newbie. Can anyone tell me why my LK button does not lock the center frequency at 1500?

It should lock where it is.

Tnx Mindy BREAK Here’s an old Amateur truism: Net frequency is where you find NCS. FLDIGI only searches a few hertz off cursor position. We are always locked @ 1500. If your radio is consistantly off freq, just adjust your dial freq to TX on 1500 < K7KY
