This was an interesting net on a number of different fronts. First, we found that enabling AFC while in MFSK modes was very disruptive, causing our cursors to drift. Not sure why more stations weren’t at 1500 on the waterfall tonight. Looking back thru the log, Doug K7KY’s signal during the FLAMP exercise drifted as low as 1469 and as high as 1517. Doug installed the latest versions of FLDIGI (4.1.07), FLAMP (2.2.05), and FLMSG (4.0.14) just prior to the net; that may have caused his signal to drift, even though cursor LOCK was enabled. In retrospect, rebooting FLDIGI might have fixed it. Kudos to everyone for staying focused and following the net with the many wandering signals; it definitely made the net more of a challenge!

Tonight was the first time we’ve had two stations check-in with VidID at the same time. While checking-in Bob N7RBP at 1500, I saw Larry N7SND’s VidID at 1000 and Steve K6ETA’s at 2000. During the COMMENT round, Jaye KE6SLS and Gene W1EEP used VidID to get my attention. Jaye was checking in late and Gene W1EEP wanted to add to Greg KG7DMI’s comments. Great use of VidID guys! It really helped keep the net flowing, avoided doubles, and enabled me to finish with Larry N7SND and the rest in the COMMENT round w/o disruption. A Hat Tip to Doug K7KY too for asking the FLDIGI Developer, Dave W1HKJ, to create a Macro VidID to facilitate Check-in and Re-Check for digital nets.  Dave also developed ‘All four rows of macros visible at once’, at Doug’s request.  These two additions to FLDIGI have really eased the NCS workload on digital nets.

Doug has been emailing with Dan N9BAV in Fort Worth, TX who was “successful at receiving the Net tonight. Pretty good copy on several at times. Copied 4 messages I believe with a missing block or two”. Dan emailed some of his captured text; this caught our eye:

K7KY de AK0SK AK0SK, Sila, Kansas City, MO in & out

Sorry we missed you Sila AK0SK. You might try sending a VidID at 1000 or 2000. Rick K0KEX in Smithville, MO has had good results using VidID during difficult band conditions. Like the Tune Signal, VidID will print on the WF at a greater distance than text can be decoded. You can try later in the net too; propagation usually improves, but unfortunately it’s very late in MO. Hopefully our path will begin to improve this Fall.

ORCA welcomes James K7JLJ in Medford, OR. Tonight was his 2nd contact with FLDIGI. Nice work James, come back and work with us if you’d like to learn more about NBEMS traffic-handling.

Thanks for working with us again tonight; it was challenging and rewarding. It’s exciting to see the progress we’ve made and the skill we’re developing with the NBEMS tools. Errors are part of learning and ORCA is error tolerant. Working together as a team, we’re learning and teaching by example. We appreciate each of you and look forward to working with you again next week. Practice makes perfect.

ANNOUNCEMENTS 06/Aug/2019

Tonight’s FLAMP exercise distributes the file, ‘ex131.txt’, an FLDIGI/ FLAMP/
FLMSG exercise. Parse carefully, it’s a little different. If you complete the
OPTIONAL exercise within, send that file to NCS in the Traffic round with FLAMP.

Last week’s net went well with a solo NCS; tonight we’re back to our usual dual
NCS operations. Be thinking about the NCS position. In an emergency, any of us
may become NCS. Operators not effected by the situation will be running the net.
In a protracted emergency, we’ll need Operators to relieve NCS. Most of you are
quite capable of running a digital net. Some already NCS VHF digital nets. Other
than the stress of the situation, an emergency net will be less complex than ORCA.

Oops! Correction! We’ve mis-stated RsID conventions for MFSK. The Developer says:

“RsID will set the frequency to within +/- 3 Hz of the actual signal center. You
should always use AFC on these modes: PSK, QPSK, PSKR, 8PSK, MFSK.

If you do not, then the decoder’s s/n performance will be degraded. AFC is not as
critical on VHF-FM and UHF-FM transmissions, but it is on all SSB transmissions.
…. snip ….

DOMINO-EX, THOR, MT63, OLIVIA, FSQ, IFKP, THROB have an internal AFC (or equivalent)
over which the user has no control. Hence, the AFC is disabled on the fldigi main
dialog for these modes.

Short story for digital nets… Net control, use TxID and AFC. Do not use RxID
Net participants, use RxID and AFC. Do not use TxID. David W1HKJ”

Thanks for emailing the ORCA test images.

How is your ECOMM Group set up to be called out in an emergency?

1. ECOMM Members are registered with counties Reverse 911 system?

2. Your ECOMM Group has developed and keeps up to date a calling tree notification list.?

3. Your ECOMM Group has developed an ICS 205 listing rally frequencies for emergencies along with Incident Operating Frequencies Modes, Repeater Offsets and Tones

where needed, also area coverage and purpose of the Frequency?

GUIDELINES FOR TREATING CHEMICAL BURNS

Unlike more traditional burns, chemical burns do not result from extreme heat, and therefore treatment differs greatly. Chemical burns are not always obvious. You should consider chemical burns as a possibility if the victim’s skin is burning and there is no sign of a fire. If chemical burns are suspected:
1. Protect yourself from contact with the substance. Use your protective gear —
especially goggles, mask, and gloves.
2. Ensure that any affected clothing or jewelry is removed.
3. If the irritant is dry, gently brush away as much as possible. Always brush
away from the eyes and away from the victim and you.
4. Use lots of cool running water to flush the chemical from the skin for 15 minutes.
The running water will dilute the chemical fast enough to prevent the injury
from getting worse.
5. Apply cool, wet compress to relieve pain.
6. Cover the wound very loosely with a dry, sterile or clean cloth so that the
cloth will not stick to the wound.
7. Treat for shock if appropriate.

ORCA < WA7HHE, really good net tonight, my FLMSG finally worked this evening after 2 weeks of the FLMSG Auto Send problems along with Windows update, all fixed and did a pretest before hand to make sure. Watching educational TV this evening had a story on a new network of satellites launched by the European Space agency which provide close to real time pictures of affected disaster areas around the globe. Should a great tool for Emergency Management. Wish all a good evening- WA7HHE

WA7HHE < W7ZAP Will have to read abot the sattelites… sounds useful

W7ZAP, K7KY and the ORCA net de KI7TPD
Looking good tonight! NCS s/n 0 to +5 dB
NCS seemed to wander a bit over the waterfall for part of the net… AFC seems to be a problem… Once AFC was off it was good! Otherwise everything seemed to work tonight.

100% copy with MFSK32 for W1EEP, K7DV, WA7HHE, N7SND, K6QOG, KI7LOQ
Missing block 1 for KS6M
THOR 100 worked for KG7DMI 100%

Thanks for the great net!
73s everyone!
KI7TPD

KI7TPD < W7ZAP Fred did I wander on the WF or was it a difference between me and Doug? BTU < W7ZAP

NCS de KI7TPD, the signal ranged with TX from 1510 to 1514… BTU KI7TPD

‹KI7TPD < W7ZAP Was that for me? < W7ZAP

W7ZAP de KI7TPD I think it was for Doug… KI7TPD

Thanks for the feedback. I thought his signal was high too. I’ve had a hard time following stns tonight.

Like Mindy, I found I have to turn AFC off. If not it drags my curser WAY off freq and I end up missing the next station. If I leave it off, I only miss a bit here and there, and only if a station is WAY off freq.

W1EEP was strong tonight. 100% copy! Is it just propagation or did Gene do something diffrent?
N7SND was light and fading. Not realy able to copy him in traffic round.
K6SM No copy here. VERY light on the waterfall. S/n -12 +/-
K6QOG Good copy, 100% in traffic round
KI7LOQ Good copy, 100% in traffic round
K7DV was looking good in the commet round, but faded a the end. I missed blocks 6+7.
WA7HHE Stong, full copy in the Comment round.
KI7TPD Another one that was weak early on but strong at the end.
KR7KR Fading in and out, mostly copy in Comment round.

Not sure who it was, but atleast two stations off frequency enough I couldn’t copy. May have not been locked on 1500, may have been propagation.

Thank you for another fun and interesting net. Not as exciting, but nice to have everthing go smoothly.

Over to Bill K6QOG < W7ZAP

W7ZAP < K6QOG I played with the AFC on and off. When it was on I missed stations and had to move the cursor back to 1500. I like it off. It was an interesting net and made me look at items I hadn’t touched in a long time. TNX for making me think and react quickly. Have a good week. 73 < K6QOG

I think everyone did a great job staying focused tonight. Was a bit difficult chasing signals. Good practice though.

Tnx Mindy Today I installed the latest releases: FLDIGI v4.1.07, FLMSG v4.0.14, FLAMP v2.2.05. They worked flawlessly for our warmup session and the net tonight. GL YMMV In Curry Co,OR, we have no EMCOMM group. Yet.

I was LOCKED @ 1500, but tonite I had AFC active, but turned it off when I was having to chase signals as little as 3-5hz. Maybe it effected my TX. Also, a new version of FLDIGI. ??

Thanks for your focus and attention during the FLAMP exercise. It’s challenging to run three modes to 11 operators, take REPORTS, and fill the file w/o messing it up.

Larry N7SND, Remember to enable TX LOCK, ur @ 1480 tonight. Likely why you’re chasing signals, tu… btn < K7KY

Whew! We’re right at 1.5 hours.
