We anticipated difficult band condx tonight, but they were no worse than usual this Summer. The Roster was slim tonight, also not unusual for Summer and 2nd Tuesdays when Rainbow Canyons ARC Ops are meeting. We chose OFDM-500F for the 1st mode of the NBEMS Exercise. Both Lamar AE6LJ & Jaye KE6SLS CONFIRMED, but Matt N6FPV, living nearby, had No Copy. John KS6M in Oakland,CA is on our path to the N/CA stations too. He also had difficulty with OFDM & THOR 50×1 which Matt N6FPV CONFIRMED. John CONFIRMED MFSK-22, completing the Exercise. Even though all four stations are on the same path to NCS, fragile modes like OFDM reveal subtle path differences that effect decoding.

With so many variables, it’s hard to determine which have the most influence in the moment. Band condx, WX, day/night, terrain, multi-path, station performance, software configuration, & Op skills all effect decoding. The mix is somewhat different every session. Overall, digital operations fare much better than Phone in difficult band condx.

Did you notice that Lamar AE6LJ included Mode-VidID @ 1500 and TxID when he sent the NBEMS Exercise file in MFSK-64 for Traffic Round. An excellent tactic for difficult band condx! TxID usually travels well; it’s concentrated in about 100hz, but it doesn’t take much of an HF fart to trash it. That’s why we send TxID multiple times for NBEMS Exercises. We’ll ask Lamar to share his method with the net in next session’s Comments.

RSID is a major Mode tool for digital Ops. We’ve also developed our own tactics & strategies for managing Mode change. It’s important to be mode agile. RSID manages Mode changes automatically, but it can be defeated by QRM/QRN/QSB, etc. One tactic is sending TxID twice. Another tactic is watching closely when TX begins to ID the mode by sight/sound in case RxID fails. An alert Op can change mode manually quick enough to decode message Header. A companion tactic is configuring FLAMP to send message Headers twice: FLAMP, Transmit Tab, ‘Hdr Rpt’ x2. The combination of Header x2 and identifying the signal quickly can enable you to change mode quickly & decode the Header.

Emailing ORCAtest images to NCS has benefits beyond enhancing Net Reports. It give regular practice locating files stored by FLDIGI. There will be times on Emergency & Traffic nets when you hold traffic for next session. File manipulation is part of digital traffic-handling. It’s important to know where files are stored; you may need to retrieve them quickly.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Tonight’s NBEMS Exercise features FLMSG Radiogram form. The Exercise question is germane to our interest in
contacting ORCA members quickly in emergencies. In the old days, this was done by Telephone. Today, very few
have legacy wired phones. If the smartphone system is down, no Phone Tree’. We’re looking for a radio oriented
call-up. APRS is one possibility. You may have other ideas; please include them in Comments w/your thoughts on
APRS.

You may be wondering what’s up with Macro practice, Image TX practice, off-net-freq practice. These events still
top our to-do list, but we haven’t had time to implement them. A combination of personal/family responsibilities
leave less time for radio. We’re doing our best and anticipate returning to these events when we can do it
comfortably.

Working the net, there’s usually no need to announce your intention to change mode. ORCA Ops practice
implementing  operational changes w/o notice.  ORCA Preamble outlines net format; members practice situational
awareness and operational flexibility regularly.  They’re also improving reading comprehension. Correctly parsing
instructions is key to implementing them.  The Preamble prepares them for net operations. Our roundtable format
is good for practice and training, but not for traffic and emergency nets where most traffic is P2P.

Thoughtful use of TxID is important to digital networking. Sending TxID unnecessarily wastes time & bandwidth.
Forgetting TxID when changing mode wastes even more time. You will be the only station in your chosen mode
and have to TX your traffic again w/TxID. Pay close attention to TxID; manage it by Macro and personal focus.
Correct use of TxID is one indication of digital competence.

Congratulations to Tom ex/WB7EUX for recovering his original CALLSIGN, WA7JYK. If you’re into CALLSIGNS, you
know this one is vintage. It’s from an era when most Amateurs built much of their station gear.

Thank you for emailing net beginning/ending ORCAtest images. They make the Net Report more interesting &
useful.

Comments

For the ODFM500 exercise I did not catch mode change, hence no copy.

I am on alternative power tonight!  My LifePo4 came over the weekend.  I stress tested it and discovered I can do
FT8 for just over 4 hours at 50 watts.

Sunday I went up to local peak Bear River Ridge @2616ft and activated SOTA (W6/NC-485), I went up with a
local ham Tim, KN6ONO.  I made 39 total contacts, 12 SSB and the rest FT8 on 20M.  I used my homebrew coax
folded dipole which worked extremely well!  Infact it was so good I had trouble finding a free opening for SSB on
20 to CQ.  Pic of setup: https://m42.pw/u/10

SOTA was a fun experience and I look forward to doing more activations!

RE: APRS, I personally use APRS and find it a very useful way to handle certain things, of course one issue with
APRS is if the internet is down in an area that area may be cut off from reaching people outside of the area.  Of
course one way around that is APRS over satelite, though you are then limited to small windows of oppertunity.

73’s, see everyone next net!

Happy to announce that my new, home-brewed set of parallel dipoles (80, 40, 20, 10 meters) is finally up in its
permanent location and running. This is a project I started back in December and has been sitting around in in
box at my feet here for months. Big job getting it up, tuning it and all. The old set had been up over 20 years,
didn’t have 10m wires and had taken on a Frankenstein-ian quality after so many repairs. Debating whether to
save the old one as a back-up, or cannibalize it to make another set, say, 30, 15 meters.

Why is it that everything I want to do on each band seems to be at opposite extremities?

I’m relieved the job is now done and do not envy Doug and Mindy setting out up there to replace all their baluns
on those big wires.

Correction to my RELAY.  That was KK6RJR NOT KK7RJR–SRI

late this afternoon, I received my dental bridge.  I know it will take
time to adjust, but just having a full row of teeth pleases my tongue
to no end!  Can’t wait to eat a fresh crisp salad!

I can already hear how wonky the band is.  We have several more days
of some interesting solar activity “adjusting” our ionosphere! Wow,
1st image only P3 and NCS sig had dropped dramatically.

A brand new RPI4 showed up in my mail box today!  Haven’t had time to
open and drool over it yet.  Will be SO NICE to have a bigger pi in
the shack!  I max our my Rpi3 every Monday, the little bugger can
hardly get a breath in 😄

Congrates to Lamar for getting new antennas up in the air!  Heard the
report Monday during our HF emergency phone net.

The Marine layer is being persistent here.  Today, only had a short
window of partly sunny (less than 1 hr) and back to the grey. . .

One of these days, John IS going to send comments.  Have your heart
pills at the ready! 😄

Stay well, practice often, and make sure to have some fun doing it!
