Poor band condx seem to be our lot lately and the bands may deteriorate further. Condx have been difficult for stations near NCS. We barely connect the stations 50mi north and 100mi south. Hat’s off to KD7CL, KA7PAT, KB6NN, & KE6SLS for sticking with it. In spite of these condx, we are connecting a dozen or so stations each week and passing traffic. Soon, we’ll be relay experts!

We’re about 100 months into solar cycle #24. That means that we’re past the maximum and headed toward a minimum and a new cycle sometime near 2020. This was an exceptionally weak solar cycle, very similar to those that occurred as part of the Dalton Minimum in the early 19th century. “None of us alive have ever seen such a weak cycle.”, Leif Svalgaard of Stanford University. Buckle up Ops, it may get worse.

We’re sending more images lately. They’re good for evaluating band condx. For some situations, an image might be more immediately useful than text. The recent versions of FLDIGI can send images in MFSK @ 2x & 4x from the TX buffer. I’ve not been able to get these features to work in the macro IMAGE tag. If you’re working with macros, fldigi v4.0.15 has trouble with macros; they may lock up fldigi. Earlier versions are OK, but not too early. It’s good to keep up with stable version releases. The Alpha version, 4.0.16.03 has the macro bugs sorted out.

Welcome to Daniel AE0DM who checked in from Clifton,CO as we were closing. Here’s some of tonight’s images:

Thanks for committing your time and energy to work with us tonight. Difficult conditions didn’t stop us from running a regular net and passing traffic. We’ll be better Operators for persisting through difficult times. We enjoyed working with you and hope to see you again next Tuesday evening. 73 Doug K7KY

ANNOUNCEMENTS 23 January 2018

Tonight’s FLAMP exercise distributes ‘VideoID_macro2.b2s’. This VideoID
macro, suggested by Dave W1HKJ, is more efficient than my macro. It
remembers and restores mode & frequency.

The off-freq-traffic exercise planned for the 3rd week each month is
canceled. ORCA is already complex; long nets discourage participation.
Active check-ins are increasing. We don’t want reduce the time available
to practice traffic evolutions. Remember, passing traffic off the net
frequency is routine for Traffic and Emergency net. You can still practice off-freq-traffic. Let me know and we’ll do it next net.

Eric KG7UNI checked in last week from the Kanab,UT EOC. Now, he’s setting up his FT-991 at home and needs some configuration assistance. If you’re running an FT-991, he could use your input. Email me for his contact info.

Digital shorthand for RELAY:
“RELAY <callsign> <callsign> < <URcall>”.

ke6sls wow, just heard Jaye! Wow, odd/nasty band toutcne`
Doug, here’s my report:

oops, agn.

de ke6sls, Jaye in Eureka! California. Running the kenwood ts570 @ 50 watts tonight on the usual low, short inverted dipole.

cet so bad, band not so good. Did not copy NCS at all untill the intro preamble started. Was able to check in right after Howard kb6nn.

Thanks fori ORCA members who checked me in via RELAY last week. NCS finally started coming into Eureka after 8pm.

We have a pretty good storm a brewin’ here in Eureka. Wind has come way up, wswäg for the rain to start pouring at any moment.

So here’s what ke6sls 8tY p 0vd solÛ shack:

k7ky s8 5db after qro, p5, flmsg 100%, dropped to -12db at 8:15pm
WA7HHE s7 1hmsg 100% Scary year for flu!
w7zap s5, -4db, qsb, flamp 22%,
kr7kr s6 -1db, qsb, up to s9 @ 6db, FLamp 100%, p4
w1eep s1 12db, faded hard on his FLamp 10% ceLi a Ó) n
N7SND s5 -12db, vry hrd cp hr
N6IET Hmm lost him.. okay, only 50% cp kb
Stations on the NCS roster not listed here not cp here

Nice work Doug, the RELAY info i±¬ur preable was PERFECT. I heard a station and all they sent was RELAY. Si¶ciüÒtd HOW TO RELAY a station. Thank you om! :)

w1aw code practice signal came way up, started to humble our ORCA copy here ..

Did the first round of Meltdown/Spectre updates on main computer. It isn’t ei e 6thas announced firmware update breaks many current computerieents have already started pushing next round of major updates. Be careful out there!

ORCA de N6IET N6IET Rick in Los Angeles

I put my Icom IC-753 into retirement (storage).
Using Kenwood TS-590sg for the first time in digital mode.
New radio, new interface cable, new sound settings, etc.
Hey, this radio doesn’t drift! Yay!
I’m running 50 watts to a ‘sideways mobile’ antenna off my balcony.
No more AV-680 on the roof. Landlord made me take it down last summer.

Band sucks, this evening, but what else is new?

It has been many months since I last QNI ORCA. I have forgotten how to do this, I think.

Strong stations here include K7KY, KR7KR and WA7HHE.

Thanks for doing the net Doug and Mindy. 73 to all and to all a Good Night!

K7DV < K7KY Tnx Dave it looks a bit worse for the band wear… still, I recognize it… BREAK if anyone is experimenting with the new VideoID macro take a look at the LOCK tags. I’ve added LOCK:off but have been unable to restore LOCK with LOCK;on. If you get that working , I’d like to know how tu < K7KY

Before RSID: <<2018-01-24T04:47Z MFSK-32 @ 111204+1499>>
