With only 18 Ops on the Roster and 5 NBEMS Exercise participants, the net ran quickly and wrapped in 47min. Band condx were better than usual tonight. We didn’t copy KK6RJR in Bakersfield,CA, but Steve W7WSV copied him in Mesa,AZ and Relayed him in. The current Solar Cycle is rich with Relay opportunities.

We don’t have Mindy’s Log tonight, so you can’t locate NCS transmissions quickly w/the TxID strings. Now, to have TxID strings in the log, we can’t use the NCS log; it doesn’t print it’s own TxID. We’ve always used the NCS log for Net Reports.

We’ve not practiced passing traffic off-net-freq in quite awhile. Currently, you won’t see this routine on Western Digital Net because Rosters and Traffic are light. Busy nets don’t process Traffic on the net frequency. Ops w/Traffic are paired w/receivers and sent off-freq to pass traffic. Off-net traffic processing enables NCS process multiple messages simultaneously. It’s as simple as it appears. There are standard phrases exchanged btwn Ops & NCS.

Last time we practiced off-net-freq traffic-handling, Rainbows Canyon ARC provided the talent. If you’re willing to help w/this exercise, contact NCS. It’s easy to learn and execute.

Mark 26/Oct/22 on your calendar as a Macro session. We’ll experiment with a simple Relay Macro useful for all digital nets. Relay is accomplished with a Copy/Paste operation and two Macros, one you already have. Your Relays will be easy, concise, and consistent. Here’s the Macro:
———– RELAY @>> (name)

NCS < <MYCALL> RELAY: <TX><TXRSID:off><GOFREQ:1500>
———–
Two leading blank lines separate ur text from previous text & noise.
1) Copy(Ctl/C) Relay text
2) Tap Relay Button
3) Paste(Ctl/V) Relay text > TX buffer
4)Tap MYCALL/RX Button
DONE!
This makes Relaying easy and accurate. We have these Macro in Row#1, Button#7 & #10; they’re in the same place on all Macro sets and easy to locate quickly. Relay a single CALLSIGN or a paragraph of comments with this simple Macro.

We’ll experiment w/this Macro during Comments on 26/Oct/22.

ORCA is a DIRECTED Net, dedicated to learning and developing
digital operating skills and practicing NBEMS traffic handling.
ORCA connects Amateur Operators with common interest in
training, information-sharing, and mutual-aid.
Practice makes perfect!

New to ORCA? See: http://orcadigitalnet.com/quick-start/

Following check-in NCS sends:

NBEMS Exercise:
Have FLAMP open. Stay Focused, Exercise is brisk.
Monitors can work the Exercise silently and FILL
or CONFIRM in after-net Monitor’s Session.

Traffic Round: NCS calls FLAMP Exercise Stations
for practice traffic (NBEMS Exercise files).
Not Ready? Send ‘QRU’; FILL/REPORT in Monitor’s Session

Comment Round: RX reports, observations, questions,
comments, or summarized QST w/reference.

NET PROTOCOL:
LOCK: Cursor @ 1500
ENABLE: RxID
DISABLE: TxID, end-of-Tx-ID, Pre-Signal-Tone*
DISABLE: Mode-ID, CWID, CW-Postamble-ID

* Pre-Tone manually (TUNE BUTTON) when doubles are likely.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
We’ve relabeled Advanced Exercises to NBEMS Exercises. Weekly Exercises are all NBEMS Exercises. We’ll work w/Macros, off-freq traffic-handling, images/maps, mode shoot-outs, etc, on 3rd, 4th, & 5th Tuesdays as announced. Incoming Ops please Ck-In QNX to work NBEMS Exercises silently, checking your work in the after-net Monitor’s Session. Questions & Comments go in the Comment Round as usual, or email: ncs@orcadigitalnet.com

When NBEMS Exercises include the Radiogram form, we don’t properly complete the ‘To:’ window. For actual NTS Traffic, this window needs Name, Address, City, St, Zip, Phone#, & email address. Phone is important; most messages are delivered by Phone. Email is not essential, but also important. See this NTS Training page: https://www.k8amh.com/radiogram/  for Radiogram instructions.

Another ORCA convention is ending. Years ago, we often had more Ops Ck-In to work the NBEMS Exercise than we could accommodate in an hour. To resolve this, we assigned an Optional * to ten long-term ORCA members. When the Roster was large, they checked-in with W1AW*, signaling an Active station skipping the NBEMS Exercise to make room for others. Today, we manage NBEMS Exercise participation w/o the *. It’s no longer part of our Ck-In Protocol.

We’ve updated the website. Please scan it for typos, content errors, and ommissions.

Macros: We’ve added our Macro Development & Debugging screen to the website: http://orcadigitalnet.com/macros/develop-debug/ It enables you to see Macro text, and most Macro functions at a glance in real time. If you can improve on this layout, we’d like to know.

Consider posting Macro questions, observations, useful Macros, etc, to the NBEMS Forum under #macros @  http://NBEMS@groups.
io
Discussing FLDIGI Macro development and usage at the NBEMS Forum has numerous benefits. We’ll share our work with 1883 NBEMS Forum members and Forum Moderators. There’s likely to be significant interest in Macros in this Forum. We may meet experienced Macro users who’ll teach us something. NBEMS Forum has 1883 members and seasoned Moderators. Dave W1HKJ, FLDIGI Developer, is the main Moderator; he chimes in when needed.

TRUTH is often wrapped in Familiar Sayings…

‘We do not rise to the level of our expectations. We fall to the level of our training.’
Greek poet Archilochus’s (680-645/BC)

‘Under pressure, you don’t rise to the occasion, you fall to your level of training.’   A modern rephrasing widely attributed to a US Navy Seal who believes the success of an operation is determined by how well you
prepared. Train Smart. Train Often. Train Hard.ORCA   does anyone need the Roster resent?  < K7KY

Next is an NBEMS traffic-handling Exercise w/Mindy W7ZAP < K7KY

NCS < WB7EUX – Tnx for the net. Good traffic round. I would like to see more ops joining in. 10m was good today with stations heard on the far side of the globe. Also 20m was very good towards 0000UTC. Made quite a few CW contacts.

The base fire camp at the Joseph Rodeo grounds was disassembled over the past weekend as crews have moved on to other fires or returned home. Still a few helicoper surveillance flights. The three fires within 20 miles or less of Joseph are nearing containment. Cooler weather has helped. Unfortunately our area has not had much in the way of precipitation for at least a week.
All is well de WB7EUX

Outstanding condx tonight!

Clarification: n0imh checked in active, NCS logged them QNX, then n0imh rechecked as QNX, but doubled with NCS which caused some confusion.

Saturday, we conducted a drill for the upcoming Great California Shake Out exercise.  This was conducted at 11am using SSB on 75m. NCS was portable on Woodley Island.  Local stations had no difficulty hearing them, however, all other stations couldn’t copy NCS.  Our goal was to be able to contact our neighboring counties.  SSB on 75M past 8am is nearly impossible.  I can’t help but wonder how we would have done using digital instead.  The Shake out will officially happen on 20oct2022 at 10:20am.

Last week, I had the pleasure of working Rus, nq6f, on Morse code. This was Rus’ 1st ever, over the air CW QSO.  He already has a very good fist!

We have finally been getting some afternoon sun.  Grateful for the mental perk as well as the actual energy collected by my solar panels!

I certainly enjoy our digital nets! Tnx all for being a part of this!

Stay well, practice often, and hope to see you down the wf soon!
