Well, quite a digital session this evening. Some stations worked until 2225L.  Nets do take a bit longer when we have more check-ins. We’re meeting to practice digital communications and we’ve always tried to let everyone send traffic or comment. Receiving is the easy half of the process.  Good sending skills lead to better reception.

I try to keep the net moving along to accommodate as many Ops as possible.  If you need to leave, just check out with NCS; 73 or SK.  No problem for the net. Some Ops are still working and have busy schedules.

Send your traffic in  a different mode if you think the mode will  improve speed or copy.  Then, return  to net-mode for comments and REPORTS.

We’re doing a good job with FLAMP. Until band conditions improve, I’ll continue prompting for REPORTs with your callsign. Please send your REPORT directly or NO FLAMP.  Occasionally, an Op who CONFIRMED the message will be asked to RELAY the fill blocks. Our REPORT process seems slow in a roundtable setting, but would be quick and efficient between two stations passing formal traffic.

I had a difficult time with NCS duties this net as my WinXP PC crashed and I’d configured fldigi on my Linux laptop on short notice.  The keyboard is different and didn’t improve my typing.  When fldigi choked, I had no idea how to clear the frozen app and start another, so I had to reboot the OS. I really appreciate having Mindy W7ZAP operating a few feet away. She took over NCS without a blip.  Actually, Mindy is involved in the preparation, presentation, and review of every net.  She’s filled the blanks the last two nets when check-ins were fast and close.  TU Mindy!

I think we’ve all had enough of the automated traffic stations  on 3.595 for the last five weeks.  Next week we’ll meet on 3.595 and QSY to our new freq 3.5825. For a couple weeks after the move, we’ll ask an Op to wait on ..95 for a few minutes to pick up any strays.

Doubles are a bit more bother in the digital modes.  The tips from Ken K7IFG and Bob W7GBB about sending a short tune signal prior to TX are very useful for reducing doubles. Bob’s tip takes Ken’s a step further by sending a 1.5sec tone by macro TAG <TUNE:1.5>. After the 1.5sec tone, you’re back to RX where you can see if the freq is clear to TX.

Don’t fret about doubles.  Some are impossible to avoid. Pay attention to net flow and do your best.  It’s a learning net and we all make mistakes (-:   I  haven’t noticed anyone repeating the same error. Overall, we have a group of very accomplished digital Ops.

Ken relayed a message to me from Brad WA7HHE in ID:
‘If you get this email in time and get a chance perhaps I might trouble you to let K7KY know he has not scared off the Southern Utah bunch, as luck would have it we have our club  meeting Tuesday, then to top it off the following Tuesdays for several weeks many of the hams available to check into the net are involved in teaching a Tech class on Tuesdays for the next several weeks. I’m having net withdrawals so hope to make the net after  this Tuesday. Hope I can improve my real time typing.  Brad’.

TU Brad.  Nice to know the ID crew will be back.  Although we’re a learning and practice net, we attract a number of Ops already well versed in digital comms. This is good for everybody.  We have lots of willing and cheerful Elmers!  Last week about a third of the net were Ops in ID.  I’m glad to hear our net format is not intimidating.

ORCA is a bit more structured than most digital nets.  It takes a little structuring to let everyone send traffic every week.  We want to provide a balanced experience of sending, receiving, and assessing band and signals.  You can practice receiving w/o participating in  a net.  VOA Radio Gram and SGARN are good examples.  At ORCA, you can  TX/RX and resolve digital  issues.

Thanks to everyone  who  took time to work with us tonight.  Your input is important and adds to the development of every member.  I hope to work with you again next Tuesday evening.  73 Doug K7KY

Announcements 08/Mar/16

My ORCA net WinXP-PC crashed in the storm and I’m running
on the Linux laptop with an unfamiliar keybd.  I’ve lost
all email contacts for now. You will find the weekly Net
Reports at the ORCA website:
http://orcadigitalnet.com/reports/  This may replace email.

As net participation increases, we plan to split the group after
Announcements and general interest bulletins.  Jaye KE6SLS or
Ken K7IFG will take half the group to another frequency and both
groups will continue with traffic and comment rounds.  Groups
will conclude independantly.

We are also considering changing the net frequency. Ken K7IFG
suggests 3.582.5mhz. Your thoughts are welcome.

No message?   Send the ORCA image (available for download at
the website).  It’s good practice and enables other Ops to
evaluate signals and band condx and takes about 50sec.

Checking in late? Send your CALLSIGN during a lull or print it
on the waterfall.  Leaving early? Send NCS a 73.  TU

FB Doug.  Sure sri to learn abt dead cpu. No fun that!

I was trying to cp in 128L the message, but only got tiny bit
due to me not having flamp on.

Don and I did some flarq tests yesterday, and it might be
broken at this time. I would like to try some more tests, but
it doesn’t behave very well right now.

I would strongly advise we make tonight the last night on
this freq and second Ken’s suggestion for 3582 for sure.  I was
working on the machine last two days during day and heard much
auto traffic up and down on this segment.  Very interesting too!

Do you QRZ?  Hey, this is important.  You are a ham and you have
a QRZ page on the internet.  Make sure you take a few minutes and
log into QRZ and update your Email.  Remember, we ALL have to be
logged into the securGeeUsite before we can see anyones Email address
so you don’t have to worry about the nasty spy bots sending you
junk mail and it’s a great way for others to find you!  make sure
you update your qrz with email.

Lots of storm QRN here, and it made it difficult to cp longer
message, but that’s the neat thing about these modes.

I was attacked again.  YES attacked by ANTS   GRRRRR spent much
of morning and some of my afternoon cleaning and killing the nasty
little buggers, I can’t believe how fast they can form collony!

Okay, that’s all from this side of Myrtle town. btu Doug,

OK. I’m having very poor copy this evening. I’m running 30 watts.
The OrCa logo was very colorful with all the noise bars.
I was unable to copy the pre-net bulletin. MFSK128L is about 2000 Hz wide in bandwidth.
So if the center frequency is 1000 Hz, that pushes the bottom few hundred Hz below the
bottom of my bandpass (waterfall). So I was unable to copy any of it.
That’s it for me. I’ll give signal reports next time.

:sb:80 Google Is Building A 100kW Radio Transmitter At A Spaceport And No One Knows Why
:mg:1238
In a publication released last week, Google asked the FCC to treat some information relating to radio experiments as confidential.  These experiments will take place at
Spaceport America, a 12,000 foot runway in the middle of New Mexico occasionally used by SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, and now Google.

Of the few details listed in the documents, one thing does pop out as exceptionally odd: a 70-80 GHz transmitter with an effective radiated power (ERP) 96,411 W.
That—s close enough to 100 kilowatts to call it as such. This is the maximum effective radiated power of the highest power FM stations in the US, but radio stations are
omnidirectional, whereas Google is using very high gain antennas with a beam width of less than half a degree. The actual power output of this transmitter is a mere half
watt.

The best guess for what Google is doing out in the New Mexico desert is Project Skybender, a project to use millimeter waves to bring faster Internet to everyone. There
aren—t many details, but there is a lot of speculation ranging from application in low Earth orbit to something with Google Loon.

okay, I just qro for Steve, hope that helps at 35Watts.

Still need whole message since I missed the very beginning.

FLdigi users got new packages this week after Kamal sent in the
new source and built new packages for all the Mint/Ubuntu/Debian/ETC users.
this included flmsg, flarq and flamp.   Thanks to Kamal for the great
work.

Doug, there was a double with you the last xmissing.  I think someone doesn’t understand that NCS will DIRECT the net each turn over.  We all need to pay
attention to NCS for a call.

Okay, that’s it from lake wobigonneagain

:mg:737 Signal reports and comments from WA6NBG. 10 over noise level tonight. I am running 30 watts into 180 foot end-fed up 25 feet. A change in freq would be
great.

Sorry about the mt63 mode. I had set it in FLMSG to MFSK 32 before xmiting but somehow it got changed. This blankform did the same thing. As before, I think the newer
versions have more problems than the ones I am replacing.

I have never seen FLAMP not receive anything. I closed and reopened and it started to worked the second time but only got Unassgned. That’s all from WA6NBG.  73.   K

Well good evening everybody, and thanks for doing the net Doug.
Doug is 0 to -2 dB
Jaye is -14 db and no copy
Don is -11 to -6 db with about 10% copy
Kevin was averaging -6dB
Mindy about the same.
Steve, I got all but the last block of your flamp the first try. Youre signal is between -8 and +2 dB.
Great net. Noisy band conditions here.

Funny… almost all stations were S8 tonight. Glad to hear KE6SLS and WA6NBG are practicing w/FLARQ. I don’t know how to use it yet and look forward to learning it.
Good point Jaye Re:QRZ.

Looking foward to moving the net freq to 3.582.5 to get away from the other transmissions. My FLAMP RX was messed up by another signal.

Good net everyone
Hope to see you all again next Tuesday.
