We misjudged band condx tonight. A prediction of, ‘Unsettled’, usually means the band will be poor, but still suitable for data modes. Tonight, Unsettled meant Unusable for some stations. Dave K7DV in particular had difficulty copying the net; Dave, in Idaho Falls,ID, was the most distant station until Rick K0KEX checked in later from Smithville,MO with VidID.

Check the Signal Evaluation images below. Propagation varied for nearly every station. Some had good condx early, but poor condx later. Others experienced the opposite.  A few stations had consistently good or poor condx throughout the net.

We’re just beginning the exploration of FLDIGI Macro development. Many of you are already familiar with Macros, but some are new to their function and value.  We’ll begin with the most basic Macro Tags (Commands), creating simple useful Macros.  In no time, you’ll see how easy they are to construct and how easily existing Macros can be repurposed by editing. We’ll appreciate your comments and suggestions. Tonight we learned how a single word in Exercise instructions enables or hinders comprehension and implementation. Writing clear and concise instructions is challenging; we’re working on it.

Notes for working all digital nets:
When you can’t copy a dependable net like ORCA, that’s likely to be operating despite condx at your QTH, it’s unwise to just transmit into the void, hoping you won’t QRM anyone and NCS will log you, and you’ll magically copy confirmation.

Check-in is a key component of every net. For all net, it’s important to follow ck-in protocols. NCS usually publishes what they want at ck-in. ORCA DIGITAL NET is focused on training. Training correctly, means working correctly. An important part of training is setting correct examples for incoming Operators. One ck-in Macro does not work for nets with different ck-in Protocols. If you’re still sending your name, QTH, grid-square, age, etc, please review ORCA ck-in Protocol. We send it numerous times every session. We want to set correct examples for incoming Ops. Check yourself; does your ck-in string match Protocol? Simple ORCA ck-in Macros are here: http://orcadigitalnet.com/macros/

Here’s a ck-in convention few seem to understand. Example: To Ck-In, pse send, NAME QTH [TRAFFIC]. In conventional computer language, Brackets [] are used to indicate optional choices. [TRAFFIC] means, if you have traffic, you list it. If you have no traffic, you send only your NAME & QTH. Sending ‘No Traffic’ is redundant, wasting time and bandwidth. If you don’t have items in Brackets, you send nothing about that item.

Thanks for sending Signal Evaluation images and your kind words and ongoing support. Without you, we would not be a digital training net.

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:
1) Signal evaluation image (30sec)
2) Rotation list
3) Announcements

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

Traffic Round: NCS calls stations in rotation. No
practice traffic? Send ‘QRU’. All traffic is sent
to NCS; only NCS REPORTS/FILLS. NCS will fill
Traffic Round messages after net on request.

Comment Round: RX reports, observations, questions,
comments (keyboard or FLMSG BLANK Form as you like)

FLDIGI CONFIG’:
LOCK: Cursor @ 1500

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Tonight’s FLAMP Exercise distributes the file, ‘ex217.txt’, with two ADVANCED Exercises. If you complete an ADVANCED Exercise, send it when NCS calls for your Traffic. CONFIRM 100% copy of the primary file before working an ADVANCED Exercise. Monitoring stations can FILL or CONFIRM Exercise files in the after-net Monitor’s Session.

We seldom miss publishing the Net Report and Log. We were simply tired. By Thursday evening, we’d forgotten much of what we would report. Anyway, we’ve settled down and returned to ‘new normal’ (-:

If you’ve been following the morph of SATERN Int’l Digital Net into 20m Digital Net, and our hope to sustain the energy and inertia generated over 8yrs, you might be feeling a little disappointed. Sustaining a daytime 20m net established with the support of a 1KW remote station in Texas is a bit more than two dedicated Ops can accomplish alone. The powerful Texas remote was key to SATERN’s Coast2Coast coverage. Dave WB0KGN Relayed for SATERN
for years. He has a 20m rotatable beam and a good signal from Minnesota. Still, he doesn’t cover the area served by the Texas remote. Steve W7WSV in Arizona also has a good signal, but it doesn’t compare to 1KW in Mid-USA. Beside 1KW, the remote has a rotatable beam.

Dave and Steve are doing their best to continue digital training for 40-50 regular members, but they are at their technical limits. Without a strong central-USA station, the net will have to rely on Relay stations. So far, no one has offered to help them. If this doesn’t change soon, 20m Digital Net will follow SATERN into oblivion. And, that may be it’s fate. Running a dependable digital net takes dedication, time, and energy. Today, people have numerous unusual challenges and crucial priorities. Maintaining SATERN’s energy and inertia may be a bridge too far. We’ll see.

On a lighter note, we’ve added Macro development to the FLDIGI Advanced Exercise. Macros are important tools for digital Operators. They save time and energy. Repetitive typing is reduced to a single mouse click. Entire files are sent with one click. Extensive computer skills are not required to create or alter simple Macros. Macro Exercises will initially be simple; if you’re already familiar with Macros, bear with us as we begin with basic Macro Tags. Your comments are welcome and encouraged. This is new training turf for ORCA.

Doug & Mindy, thank you for being here each week to provide this training opportunity to use, practice and learn digital traffic-handling skills using the NBEMS software. Finally, the rain has come. At my home weather station, I’ve recorded 0.92” of rain in the last 48 hours. Having said that Spring is on the way with temperatures to get in the low 80’s later this week. Again, thank you. 73 to both of you and all on the net.

Two of us here in Humboldt have been updating our website and all the rosters & preambles. We are a busy county and this has been a bold task. So I sure understand how dedicated Doug & Mindy are to holding the ORCA Digital Net then producing the fantastic Net Report each week. Those reports kept me connected when I was so sick early this year! We all appreciate your amazing efforts and work.

Our NBEMS & winlink nets are doing well. I hope to see more of our newer hams start working ORCA soon. Training is ALWAYS a good thing!

Great sunny day here today. Enjoyed reading this months QST in the SUNSHINE with a pair of pussy cats keeping me company.

both 75 & 40 meters has been quite unstable of late. Last week, even morning nets on 75 are difficult. Nice to see how well digital still seems to cut the mustard through tough condx.

Another important lesson learned; during my Monday night digital net, just before I closed the net, I was working a second radio and put down the mic. The cord dropped down and moved my HF VFO just 3hz off. Now I have my dial LOCKED and that won’t happen again.

I can not express in adequate language how impressed I am at how well the ORCA Digital ops are! Great work everyone.

So good to see & here you all. Be well and enjoy the warmig season.

Interesting exercise. Though I submitted the sentence as my traffic, I also created the macro. But how to send it? I can save and send a file of all my macrios, but can I send just one? Of course I could send just the text, but I wouldn’t need the macro editor to create that. I am curious to know what it was that was desired.

I wasn’t able to write down everyone’s signal report during ck-in. Band condx are challenging with B/G noise btwn (S7-8).

The macro exercise just covered how to make a macro. If you want to make one and have it available the next time you use FLDIGI, you need to ‘SAVE’ the macro file. In FLDIGI menu bar FILE > MACRO > SAVE.

Great to see all and work w/you tonight. Hope to CU on the WF again soon!

Stay Safe & 73,

Tnx, Mindy this is the evening for great signal reports. I didn’t include SAVING the macro as we’re starting very simply with a feature that is complex when we get deep into macro construction… but, we can do a lot with very basic macros they don’t need to be complex and you don’t have to fully understand the Macro Parser either, although when you get way in, it helps (-: BK
Are there any follow-up questions/comments or Late Ck-Ins B4 we close?

After closing, we’ll run a brief session for Monitoring stations. < NCS
