80m was noisy tonight, but MFSK-32 was adequate for net business and traffic. Mindy W7ZAP tried MFSK-64 for the weekly FLAMP exercise, but returned to MFSK-32 to complete the message. Christine AF7OK tried PSK125R for her traffic, but it was not copied well either and we returned to MFSK-32 for the remainder of the net. Howard KB6NN printed well here with 3w, but was not copied by everyone tonight. I had good contact with Howard and Jaye KE6SLS in Eureka,CA tonight. I’ve not connected Eureka stations well lately; they’re about 100mi away.

Here’s the test image Gene W1EEP received in UT.

TX: K7KY/OR  RX: W1EEP/UT

Our weekly FLAMP exercise has an additional benefit of needing relays to complete the message. This gives practice in evaluating which net station can best relay to the stations needing fill blocks. Every situation is different. In selecting a relay station, NCS or any station sending FLAMP traffic has to decide which of the stations that CONFIRM is most likely to be heard by those needing fills.

Usually, when members send FLAMP practice traffic during the Traffic session, I conduct the REPORT round. You can conduct the REPORT round for your FLAMP traffic if you like. Let me know before you begin if you want to do it yourself. Please use our regular REPORT routine of prompting members with their callsign only, beginning at the top of the rotation list.

Steve K7ETA just switched to Linux and he’s learning the new OS. Mindy & I switched to Linux Mint 17.3 from WinXPpro a few months ago. I’m still not up to speed under the hood and I’ve configured my old XP laptop again for fldigi/ORCA. I have to wait too long for fldigi updates to show up in trusted packages. My fldigi suite is seldom current. I plan to run the net from the WinXPpro laptop with no web connection to protect against virus and spyware.

It was a pleasure working with you tonight. I hope you’ll return next Tuesday evening and we can do it again.      73 Doug K7KY

Following check-in NCS sends:

1) Test image for signal evaluation

2) Rotation list

3) Announcements

Weekly FLAMP exercise by W7ZAP

Traffic Round: NCS calls each station in rotation

No traffic? (practice/formal) Send ‘QRU’.

Hold keyboard dialogue for Comment Round. Questions anytime.

Comment Round: comments, reception reports, observations, questions

(keyboard or FLMSG Form as you like)

NOTE: LOCK fldigi @ 1500, enable RxID, TxID

ENABLE: CONFIGURE/ID/RsID ‘Retain tx freq lock’

FLAMP does not sense FLAMP traffic. Set FLDIGI to ‘AUTOSTART’ FLAMP.

Regular FLAMP practice traffic is followed with one round of FLAMP

REPORTS and one FILL.

Announcements 10/jan/17

Our weekly FLMSG/FLAMP exercise, up next, will distribute ‘ex10.txt’,

an exercise in file manipulation and parsing/following instructions.

You can return this exercise to NCS in FLAMP today, or any practice net.

As always, these exercises are optional; you can send other traffic,

images, or QRU.

Happy Birthday ORCA DIGITAL NET! We’re four years old this month!

Some of you have been with us from the outset, and many have been

with us nearly as long. Thanks for your support and participation.

We’ve developed some effective practice routines and become better

digital operators. Much of the credit goes to veteran digital Ops

who contribute their knowledge and skills to the net.

I used to think I was the only one learning digital NCS, but now I

realize we’re all learning NCS skills. All of our regular members

will be able to conduct a digital net in times of need. You practice

net routines every week and you can easily recall our basic net

structure and quickly organize an effective digital net. I have faith

in you.

Looks like we lost contact with W1EEP. I also goofed when I said that Ralph needed the fill — it was Gene. OK thanks to Dave for the fill and all the rest for working with me on FLAMP.

Back to NCS < W7ZAP

W7ZAP < K7KY Tnx, Mindy… I like using the FLAMP exercise to introduce different modes… we can experiment with modes while sending short files so we get lots of experience w/o long messages… BREAK any late checkins or visitors? < K7KY

The snowy, windy, and icey conditions at the repeater sites may decrease repeater performance to less than required. A few areas are

forecasted to reach flood stage. Be prepared.

A fan dipole antenna has been installed at the new Humboldt Amateur Radio Club’s new location in Eureka with good results so far. More

to follow.

Our first public service event for 2017 is on Saturday, January 28. This is the Clam Beach Run. First two races start at 11:30am. We need

VHF communicators for this event. If you are interested, let WA6NBG know.

k6rgi — — 100% qso too short to catch signal report

severe weather here. 200% of normal rainfall for the year. Still raining and windy here, many roads closed to flooding and land slides. We have also had massive power outages that are affecting both coastal and inland towns and rural areas. We are expecting major flooding tonight and through the morning of Wednesday. This op is grateful for the solar powered ham shack and very good station batteries—we have not had much sun lately! Guess that is one reason I am here tonight!

wa6nbg still doesn’t have HF rig. Working on it.

Where the hell is Tiller, Oregon? Oh, there you are! Good work Christine! :)

I enjoyed the change up tonight Doug/Mindy. Wish I could cp the more dx signals better though. Too much local noise at my qth.

Had a great dinner. Made my Mums green bean casserole and as usual, 3 parts bean dish to one amazing breaded pork chop. yum yum on a cold, windy, dark, wet, icky night!

We probably have a new DIGI ham lurking–kk6kfb (Chris) near Morgan Hill, CA. He plans to take the general exam soon, already has a radio and antennas!

Hope to hear you all agn next week.

K7KY de AF7OK Is it my turn? k

AF7OK < K7KY RR ur turn…. how are you copying me? < K7KY

K7KY de AF7OK I just missed my call sign. Everything else is coming through. Ok, here’s my pitch…

All ORCA de AF7OK

I have been using 20w tonight. Can you tell?

The Five Dot Three Net has added a digital net from 1215 to 1245 Pacific Time on 5346.5 kHz, wf 1500 Hz, starting with MFSK32. Yesterday, I sent an image and then sent four messages in different

modes using FLMSG. The modes I used were MFSK32, MFSK64, Olivia 8-500 and THOR22.

This is more of an introduction to FLDIGI and FLMSG for people who haven’t used it before. When

the participants seem to have these two programs working, then I will move on to sending messages

using FLAMP.

There were at least 20 participants that sent a reception report and most people received all messages

and the two images. A couple of people said that FLDIGI didn’t change modes for them. One of them

has just started using it, so I think the settings weren’t set correctly.

Please join us every Monday for the digital portion of the net, as well as the voice check in net starting

at 1300 Pacific Time.

AF7OK < K7KY Nice pitch…. and, ur digital net is off to a good beginning, I think BREAK KB6NN Howard… fire up that 3w and make some comments < K7KY

Compared even with yesterday, signals here are much stronger. Oh, I remember, today I took down the lights – I think the string was absorbing some signal! The above report was modified as we went along. Generally, signals were better at the start of the net.

Tnx Dave… it would have been remarkable of you printed 3w BREAK K6ETA Steve…. ur up for comments….. I recently moved your macro button and now, I can’t find it quickly any more… over < K7KY

K7KY de K6ETA Again, just trying out the Linux version of FLDigi and FLAMP, so far basically identical to the Windows versions. Using Linux Mint on an old AMD machine. Works very well!

Didn’t take sig reports tonight as I was getting used to the OS. The 3W station isn’t making it down here though.

Lots of flooding, power outages and landslides down this way tonight!

Everyone keep your batteries and fuel tanks topped off and stay warm if not dry!

K7KY de K6RGI

Hi Doug,

Not much, as I got on late. lots of QSB, but some good signals. Interestingly, I got nothing from ETA and he’s just up the road. so 80 has gone long. Big time. You’re solid here as are a fewother stations. Question for AF7OK – what is the frequency for the 1300h Califronia digital net. Would be

most interested.

Thanks for running this net. Tuesdays are hard here due to a whole series of RACES/ACS nets.

K6RGI de AF7OK You can send me an email to keep up with all the latest news about the Five Dot Three Net. The frequency is 5330.5 kHz USB with an alternate of 5346.5 kHz USB. k

Hope winter WX hasn’t caused too much bother for net members. We’re experiencing high winds and rain along the coast and our feedlines were really whipping around today… sure hope the antennas stay up! Thanks for being patient during the FLAMP round and trying different modes. Seemed like a good opportunity with a smaller net to experiment. Strong signals from most stations tonight. Great to see all on the WF tonight and welcome back to K6RGI Rob!
