Check-in and late check-in is working well now. Taking check-ins a few minutes before 1930p makes initial check-in easier, and we’re leaving sufficient gaps between transmissions for late members and visitors to join the net.

There’s been a number of comments about frequency stability lately. Signals wander up and down from 1500 wf. It’s not a problem for me, but I hear the complaint more often these days. A number of factors contribute to signal instability. Some radios drift more than others and older rigs are more inclined to drift. Most recent radios settle down after they warm up and are relatively stable, but they’re not perfect and may drift a few hertz. Not everyone has an Elecraft K3.

More significant than drift, is Operator control of the software. AFC (Automatic Frequency Control) in fldigi will follow drifting signals reliably when enabled. The LOCK feature will fix the fldigi transmit frequency wherever it’s set. If you set LOCK at 1500wf, you will always transmit at 1500 no matter where the curser has followed the previous signal. A problem arises when fldigi is not LOCKed and the last signal was off freq. fldigi will transmit from the curser position. You can see where this is going. Without LOCK, stations transmit where the last station stopped. This can take us further and further from 1500.

With LOCK set, fldigi transmits at 1500 no matter where the curser is located. This is not difficult to fix. In CONFIG/UI/WF Ctrls, set XMT lock. Now, LOCK will remain enabled even after mode change. Leave LOCK on unless you need to QSY up/down for relay; we always transmit at 1500wf. Even if the last station is off freq, your station will transmit at 1500wf, eliminating a software contribution to signal drift.

Another perceived problem seems to be signal strength. Not all stations hear every other station on the net equally. No surprise here. The net is comprised of Operators with a wide variety of radios and antennas, spread over a wide geographic area. I don’t need to explore propagation with a group of Amateur Operators, for sure. I’m usually heard well by all members, north and south, but on occasion I’ve been unable to communicate with anyone in Humboldt County, 100mi to the south. An unusual night on 80m. During summer conditions, I’ve run the net at 5w w/o complaints. I never operate digital beyond 40w. We use high duty-cycle modes and many modern radios will overheat at high power and 100% duty-cycle. Mindy & I use Yaesu FT-857D’s for the net and usually do well at 25w. I usually hear all stations well too.

I’ve been encouraging everyone to include basic station information each week to help others evaluate signals and band conditions. During the best conditions, you may have difficulty with nearby stations that are beyond ground wave reception. Tonight, we had difficulty hearing Danon at the beginning. He could be as high as 100w, I didn’t ask him, but he’s usually easy copy at 35w and sometimes as low as 5w. This is just band conditions. When you’re not hearing stations you usually copy well, it may just be a moody band. I hope we’ll all come to know the basic station setup of the regular members. When we do, we’ll better understand band conditions and better select our operating mode. Active Amateurs are usually very keen to improve their antennas. Maybe this discussion will stimulate some to hang a little more wire (-:

This brings me to David NX6D’s suggestion that we practice relaying. We initially practiced relay work when we were coupled with the VHF net, but haven’t had the need on HF lately. Relays are basic to radio-nets and we’ll get back to relay practice. We would likely be doing relay work in emergency conditions. It’s a good thing we had the little bump with the nearby RTTY net. I had been thinking to do relay work at 0800 & 2200 on the waterfall, but I see 2200 is too close to the neighbors for some modes.

Jim KW6JIM sent an interesting message about his FT-817 QRP 15m contact with JI1ICF in Japan and included this image of his portable setup. The image arrived in SW/OR with very little noise. I’m a big QRP fan.
I’m attaching our ORCA image to this email so you can send the image sometimes. It may be helpful to see the image sent from various stations/locations. I’ve not seen it from anyone except Mindy and it arrives here perfect; her antenna is only 70ft from mine.

After closing the net, we QSY’d to 3.592 to send an flamp message to David in 10xPSK63R. Ken K7IFG had just arrived home through the snow and stayed for a short chat.

Thanks to everyone who took time to work with us tonight. I hope to see you all again next week. 73 Doug K7KY

ORCA DIGITAL NET, Announcments, 31/Mar/15

Digital check-in went well again last week. And, the net ran smoothly and efficiently as well. Don’t forget, we can easily go to voice if we need to discuss things in more depth.

I hope you copied one of the VOA broadcasts last weekend. Kim didn’t try our procedure for printing callsigns on the waterfall, but he might get to it this coming weekend.

Following Announcments and comments, NCS will prompt the first traffic station and each station will follow in order w/o prompting. If you don’t have traffic in flmsg, you’re welcome to keyboard.

After traffic round, a keyboard round, of reception reports & comments.

Good Evening All…

I have to brag a little about a nice QRP contact I had this week. 15m, 2315z, JI1ICF. I was using my Yaesu FT-817nd and my Miracle Ducker TL antenna in my backyard on Pine Hill. 5 watts. My report from Koh was a 5-5. He was as surprised as I was that we were speaking to each other! 4956 miles. I never cease to be amazed by what you can do with a small antenna and little bit of power..

:tt:15 General Message :to:4 ORCA :fm:4 NX6D :dt:10 03/31/2015 :sb:12 Test message :mg:1718 Sunspot numbers and solar flux both rose this week. Average daily sunspot numbers on March 19-25 were up 24.8 points to 83.9, compared to the previous 7-day period. Average daily solar flux rose from 117.5 to 122.4. The average planetary A index dropped from 29.4 to 19.4, although conditions continued to be active. March 22-23 had planetary A index numbers at 24 and 21, but there was nothing like the index of 117, recorded on March 17. We saw one new sunspot region on March 19, two on March 21, three on March 22 and again on March 23, and yet another new one on March 24. Predicted solar flux is 150 on March 26-28, 145 on March 29-30, then 150, 155, and 145 on March 31 through April 2, 130 on April 3-5, 125 on April 6-8, 120 on April 9-10, 115 on April 11-19, 120 on April 20, 115 on April 21, 120 on April 22-23, and 125 on April 24-27. Predicted planetary A index is 8 on March 26-27, 25 on March 28-29, 10 on March 30-31, 5 on April 1, then 10, 15, and 12 on April 2-4, 5 on April 5-6, 8 on April 7-8, 5 on April 9-11, 15, and 30 on April 12-13, 20 on April 14-16, 15 on April 17, 20 on April 18-19, then 12, 5 and 15 on April 20-22, and 25 on April 23-24. This weekly “Solar Update” in The ARRL Letter is a preview of the “Propagation Bulletin” issued each Friday. The latest bulletin and an archive of past propagation bulletins is on the ARRL website. In Friday’s bulletin, look for an updated forecast and news from readers, including a report from one unlucky ham who had planned to operate on 17 meters while vacationing in Florida for a couple of days. Unfortunately, his stay coincided with the peak effect of the recent large disturbance, and he heard no signals for the 2 days he was there.

What is it then? A: This is one of those, What do you mean it’s not true? things, but SOS does not stand for Save Our Ship. According to an article in TodayIFoundOut.com, Morse code was a factor in designating those letters as a message of distress. In Morse code, S is three dots and O three dashes. The theory was that three dots, three dashes and three dots could quickly and easily be transmitted and it did not require much power to transmit. While looking for this answer, I found some interesting trivia about the history of the usage of SOS. According to titanic-whitestarships.com, the first recorded use of SOS was Jan. 23, 1909, when a liner called the Republic and an Italian liner called the Florida collided in the dense fog while passing Nantucket. Two vessels, including one from the U.S. Coast Guard, responded and saved the day. The website states the second use and first American use of the distress call was Aug. 14, 1909, from T.D. Haubner when he was aboard the SS Arapahoe. The ship lost a propeller near Diamond Shoals, North Carolina. A United Wireless station picked it up and sent help. That not only was good news for the SS Arapahoe, but also for the SS Iroquois, according to the site. That’s because Haubner was aboard the Arapahoe on Oct. 20 of that year when the second American use of SOS was sent out. It was from the Iroquois, which had struck a rock and became grounded. Haubner picked up the call and sent help. The fourth SOS call didn’t end so well. It came from the Titanic.

I hear K7KY very clearly every time, but some stations I don’t hear and FLDIGI doesn’t decode. A voice net would use a relay — perhaps we should start practicing that — relay a message from the northernmost station to the southernmost station.

Doug — interesting experiment — send your FLAMP message again, but using MFSK64. de NX6D k NX6D David Good suggestion about relays and it’s on our minds, but we haven’t yet begun relays. I’m not good with sending again in mfsk64 on this freq as Howard just mentioned, we may be bothering the RTTY net @ 3599.

RTTY is so loud right now I’ve had to narrow the passband to keep AGC from killing the signal I want. Did not copy any part of recent KB6NN transmission.

I think it different for each station. I do best with RXid on most of the time. I’m also surprised David is not hearing some of the closer stations. We’re all near the same power out. Ken K7IFG usually uses 50w and he’s heard well by most members… If there’s nothing more , I’ll close the net and we’ll move down to run MFSK64 de K7KY k ƒ Before RSID: <<2015-04-01T03:31Z MFSK-32 @ 1502>> Repeating previous: There is a RTTY at the top of the 3K passband. There was something else going on just before our MFSK64 test, but it ended shortly after we started. It was very wide band, not RTTY. RTTY is so loud right now I’ve had to narrow the passband to keep AGC from killing the signal I want. Did not copy any part of recent KB6NN transmission.
