Winter band conditions were good again tonight, data and voice.  And, we had a good turnout too.  Howard KB6NN improved his antenna and has a solid signal that’s easy to copy.  I was @ 25w for the digital portion and received an S-9 to 20-over report from JB KR5RR in Benicia, CA.  JB also sent the b/w image he received.   That’s the second test image I’ve received from monitoring stations.  Speaking of sending the logo for band evaluation, it would be good for us to include our power setting and antenna somewhere in the messages to help evaluate signals and band conditions. That info would fit easily into the top of the ICS-213 form in the “Pos’ text windows.

My fldigi crashed just as we began the digital portion and on it’s way down sent the check-in macro. Naturally, it sent the wrong message to the net.  Very confusing after we’d already completed check-in.  Everyone dealt with it well and it didn’t derail the net.  I’ve had this happen more than once lately and I think I have some issues with old macros that conflict with the Beta versions. It’s bad for me to crash fldigi, because I lose the digital log.  So far, I’ve been able to get the lost portion from Mindy and paste them together.

Howard KB6NN sent a small color image of his radio-room buddy.  It printed very well here with just a few weird pixels.  And, it transmitted quickly.  It looks a little like our logo.

David NX6D was having issues tracking and decoding signals that move around on the waterfall.  A monitoring station also emailed me his observations that stations were not on 1500 and didn’t’ decode. Here’s a couple thoughts on this.  Not all stations are configured alike and not all stations use a Windows OS.  Even stations on the same OS may be configured and operate differently.  Activating TXRSID & RXRSID along with AFC should keep us on freq and decoding correctly.  There have been issues with both AFC and RXID in the past where they respond to adjacent signals or noise and make changes.  There may be thresholds for these features, but I haven’t looked deep enough to find out yet.  These features are working well at my station.

I use macros for routine exchanges and type the rest.  My new macros include tags to set RXID, TXID, LOCK, MODEM, & FREQ before printing text, so my TX freq is nearly always locked unless I disable it.  Same for TX/RXID.  LOCK only fixes the TX freq; you can receive anywhere else on the WF. This is how you operate split with fldigi.

Please give TESTmacros a try.  This file is on the website under RESOURCES/MACROS.  Also there is the Beta fldigi V 3.22.06.03 you will need to support the macro file.  The next release of fldigi will support the new macro tags too.  These macros will make digital check in a little faster and may be useful for other purposes.  You may want to modify them for your OS or simply change them to suit your style.  They are easy to modify with the Macro Editor.  Just right click on any macro button to open the editor.

Next net will be our last voice check-in for awhile.  Next month, starting March 3^rd we will come directly to 3.595 and check-in digitally.  We operated the net for quite some time like this previously and I think we’ve learned enough to operate smoothly on one frequency.  We can still move to voice for extended or detailed discussion if we like.  It’s easier to assist new stations on voice and we don’t want to leave interested stations behind.  Let’s try this for a month or so and evaluate it as we proceed.  Thanks for your willingness to experiment and innovate.

After closing the net I sent another file with flamp for David NX6D.  I unintentionally sent the file twice.  Two receiving stations only copied one transmission.  Later I wondered if flamp only copied once because it already had the file.  Band conditions were favorable and we weren’t having trouble decoding other files.

Once again, Thank You to each Op who spent an hour of their evening working with us.  Your participation and input benefits us all, especially those new to digital modes.  I hope to see you all again next Tuesday.

:sb:70 US hams track down indoor marijuana growers causing radio interference

KW6JIM

:mg:703 An article in the February 4 Police One magazine says:

“Reports have begun to flood into the National Association for Amateur Radio about interference with their ham

radios from their neighbors marijuana grows. The most complaints come from California and Colorado, for obvious

reasons. Many ham radio operators began to see a correlation with marijuana grows and this RFI.

One amateur radio operator located five marijuana grows near his house due to RFI alone! Many ham operators can

locate a grow simply by taking a radio and portable antennae out into their neighborhood and using the radio to

triangulate the exact location of the grow.”

:sb:62 FCC Paperless Amateur Radio License Policy Now in Effect

:mg:1550 Starting today, February 17, the FCC no longer routinely issues paper license documents to Amateur

Radio applicants and licensees. The Commission maintains that the official Amateur Radio license authorization

is the electronic record that exists in its Universal Licensing System (ULS), although the FCC had routinely

continued to print and mail hard copy licenses until this week.

In mid-December, the FCC adopted final procedures to provide access to official electronic authorizations, as

it had proposed in WT Docket 14-161 as part of its process reform initiatives. Under the new procedures,

licensees will access their current official authorization (Active status only) via the ULS License Manager.

The FCC will continue to provide paper license documents to all licensees who notify the Commission that they

prefer to receive one. Licensees will also be able to print out an official authorization  as well as an

unofficial reference copy  from the ULS License Manager.

We find this electronic process will improve efficiency by simplifying access to official authorizations in

ULS, shortening the time period between grant of an application and access to the official authorization, and

reducing regulatory costs, the FCC Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) said. According to the WTB, the new

procedures will save at least $304,000 a year, including staff expenses.

The ULS License Manager now permits licensees to change the default setting so that the Bureau will print and

mail a license document.

:mg:460 Very frustrating session.

Some stations are not on the 1500 HZ centerline.  By the time I get the tuning window on the frequency, I’ve

missed the message preamble and can no longer decode the FLMSG or FLAMP.  These are pretty brittle protocols,

compared to networking protocols.

Apparently both FLMSG and FLAMP use the same socket to FLDIGI.  Apparently you can’t have both programs running

at the same time.  This will take some more work to learn to use.

ALL ORCA de K7KY Thanks Mindy…  Sending our power setting is a good idea.  I’d like to see it included in our round of observbations or anytime you’d like to send it.  It will help us all evaluate the band and we’ll get to know what to expect from the different stations…  OK here comes my report..  K7KY <STX>

KW6JIM de K7KY OK Jim  you’ve got the keyboard   K7KY k

Before RSID: <<2015-02-18T04:33Z MFSK-32 @ 14068000+1500>>

Whay do I use to open Ken’s file?

de KW6JIM k

KW6JIM de K7KY Jim..   I’ve got so many windows open on my monitor, I can’t find Ken’s traffic..  Let’s let Ken respond to the question    Ken, if you will please..  K7KY

Before RSID: <<2015-02-18T04:34Z MFSK-32 @ 14068000+1503>>

de k7ifg   Oh boy.  probably can do it better on voice  but here it goes.  Jim you use Flmsg to read the

the file you open and go to the Flamp files on the nbems directory and find the file name I used and and

click on that and it should open for you in flmsg.    de k7ifg  kn

Before RSID: <<2015-02-18T04:38Z MFSK-32 @ 14068000+1501>>

David, also you need to set rxid and txid on, and must disable sweet spot – then fldigi will shift if sig is anywhere within the passband..

I’ve made some configuration changes.  Can someone send a brief FLAMP message so I can find out if they work?

NX6D de K7KY OK David… and before we get the last flamp message, i want to tell you that I agree with Howard on using both RXID and TXID, but I use the sweetspot successfully here.   So, I may have it configured differently than Howard…

Ken… do you have a short message you can send for David in flamp?    K7KY

ALL ORCA de K7KY Not hear ing Ken.. I’m going to send the b/w image and close the net.  Then I’ll send a message for David in flamp…    K7KY

KW6JIM de K7KY OK JIM…  What’s up??  K7KY

Before RSID: <<2015-02-18T04:47Z MFSK-32 @ 14068000+1501>>

Just a quick thought…  can that little logo pic be sent with flamp??

de KW6JIM k

KW6JIM de K7KY Good question… I don’t know, but I remember reading the manual and I think it’s possible.

It may even send MP3 files.  If it does, you will have to open the image file in a viewer, as I doubt it can present it like fldigi     Anyway, Ken has done a lot more with flamp than Mindy & I   I think he’s still around, but missed him a few minutes ago…  Are you still here Ken?     K7KY

Before RSID: <<2015-02-18T04:50Z MFSK-32 @ 14068000+1499>>

de K7iFG   yep I was busy doing something else here in the shack and wasn’t paying attention.  Yes you can send images  via Flamp and also Flarq     bk

Before RSID: <<2015-02-18T04:51Z MFSK-32 @ 14068000+1502>>

Copy that.  If you give it a try I’ll be watching…

73, and thanks again for your hard work!!

de KW6JIM k

ALL ORCA de K7KY OK  I”m going to send a file in flamp for David now.  I’ll send the ORCA image and we’ll see

how it comes out..  Stand by a moment..  K7KY

ALL ORCA de K7KY Never mind sending the orca logo.. Even with compression it would take 117min.. I’ll find a

short text file..  K7KY

NX6D de K7KY GO ahead  David…  I’m still trying to find a short file.  K7KY

Before RSID: <<2015-02-18T04:55Z MFSK-32 @ 14068000+1500>>

These short text messages we are sending back and forth.  I see them bracketed with STX and EOT.  How is that done?  I don’t think my messages are formatted that way.

BTU  de NX6D kn

NX6D de K7KY Give me a moment to look   I think the messages you’ve sent tonight contain those characters too.  they come in from flmsg.  Stand by..  K7KY

At the moment I’m just typing in the transmit window.  I thought that’s what you were doing.  Did this message have the brackets?

NX6D de K7KY How copy David?   and we can just follow the rotation list for the stations remaining to see how everyone copied the flamp file.  I didn’t send it compressed, but it looks like it is compressed anyway.

Before RSID: <<2015-02-18T05:07Z MFSK-32 @ 14068000+1499>>

Thanks — I got a file called Grounding.213.  I don’t know what type of file it is.  You appeared to have sent the file twice.  I missed the first block as FLAMP did not launch as I expected it to.

Thanks for taking the time to try this.  I have to spend a lot more time studying this software.  You guys are way ahead of me in knowing how this works.

BTU  de NX6D kn

NX6D de K7KY David…  We learned a lot of this from each other right here on the net.   You can open the Grounding file with flmsg..   flamp doesn’t open and present files like flmsg.  you have to open the files with what ever is right for the file…  Thanks for coming tonight and Mindy & I can work with you during the week on digital issues if you like .. email me if you want to work off-net..  anyone else still here and copying…
