Picnic

August 14, 12 noon at

the Claverack Town

Park, off Route 217 in

Mellenville

Columbia County

ARES meeting

Sat. August 13 at 9 am

at the Columbia County

EOC, Hudson.

Upcoming Events

CLAVERACK—Please plan on joining us on

Sunday for a fun and food afternoon. Here’s

your chance to discuss those rare DX contacts

that you got (or almost got) over the year. Bring

your spouse and children and maybe we can get

some fun games going. We’re looking into hav-

ing a Foxhunt – Stan has graciously loaned his

Foxhunt equipment for the event.

The club is providing the hot dogs, ham-

burgers and drinks, but please consider bringing

a salad or desert. For those who are not familiar

with the location of the park, talk-in will be on

147.210.

See you there !!!

HUDSON—This meeting will primarily be to reacquaint us

and discuss our plan for becoming a well functioning unit. As

you may know, there is a SET planned for early October, and I

want us to be ready to accept the challenges this presents. One

item we should immediately address is the proper use of the

ICS forms and message passing protocols.

I have some ideas I would like to discuss with all of

you and welcome your suggestions and inputs as well. We

need to discuss training, practice, gear and several other topics

that are important to the function of our group. Please make

every effort to attend this meeting, and if you have questions

regarding this or other ARES matters, feel free to contact me

by return email to this address. I would suggest that you make

note of my alternate address: [email protected]. I want to

hear from you!

Don't forget to wear your ARES ID badge!! I'm

looking forward to getting us on track and seeing all of you

again.

Thanks and 73,

Barry Thompson - EC Columbia County

A visit to the hilltop

Left to right: Repeater Chairman Tom Gutierrez,

N2NZD and Club President Barry Thompson use Trus-

tee Stan Engel’s new control panel to test voltages on

repeaters.

CLAVERACK—Several club members spent a

Sunday morning last month to check out the cur-

rent equipment at the Rip Van Winkle repeater site,

and to determine what new equipment will be

needed moving forward.

Part of planning for updates to the repeater

site is to provide backup power in the event of

power outages. The repeater committee is looking

to make the main repeaters functional as long as

possible, using alternative sources to power the ra-

dios, Currently, the site has two 6 amp solar panels

that are charging deep cycle batteries for radio op-

eration as well as site control backup.

Measurements were made to determine

how much power is consumed during transmit and

receive on all the current repeaters, to determine

what can be done to extend the life of the repeaters

during power outages.

Repeater chairman, Tom Gutierrez,

N2NZD, set up a monitoring device on the deep

cycle batteries to watch the voltage levels across

the next few weeks. The results should give the

group a clearer picture of what upgrades will give

the site the greatest benefit.

The analysis will assist the group in formu-

lating a grant request to acquire funding needed for

making the upgrades.

The group also checked the solar panels

and verified that the security devices were working

properly.

Due to the efforts of Stan WA2UET and

other members over the last several years, the site

appears to be in great shape, with equipment work-

ing at optimal levels.


Skywarn Are you ready for the

upcoming Thunder-

storm season? Can you ID the weather

that needs to be reported?

CLAVERACK—The Rip Van Winkle ARS is currently working to get a Skywarn session in one of our up-

coming meetings to get us all refreshed with how to identify hazardous weather conditions that should be

reported. We have contacted National Weather and are awaiting a response so that we can set up a time.

Rumor has it that the Albany district has only one person who is handling all the training, so it may

be some time before this training takes place. In the meantime, for all members that would like to take some

training modules online, please check out:https://www.meted.ucar.edu/training_course.php?id=23.

There are currently two modules available. Those who have taken them have found them to be quite

useful. The site has a gallery of several pictures, with commentary as to what the cloud formations represent.

So if you want to get good training for identifying a wall cloud or a shelf cloud, please check these modules

out.


CPOTA Anyone?

Checking out our County Parks...

with Android phone.

PHILMONT—With all the talk about NPOTA, or National

Parks on the Air, I thought it might be fun to get out and

explore some of the local natural attractions in our county.

So, armed with my handy talky tuned to 147.210, I hit the

trailhead on Roxberry Road, adjacent to Route 217 in

Philmont and hiked into the site. The trail was a bit wet

from all the rain that we experienced, but all went well and

about a half –hour, I was admiring the grand view. Ac-

cording to the website below, High Falls is 150 feet high.

Quite an attraction for such a local site. This site is main-

tained by the Columbia County Nature Conservancy.

Anyone interested in checking out High Falls can

mation: http://hikethehudsonvalley.com/high-falls-

Fox Hunting 101

A Fun and Rewarding Amateur Radio Activity

By Tom Gutierrez, N2NZD

This is how the fox hunts I participated in were run.

They were mobile hunts, as in the fox could be any-

where in Pittsfield or surrounding towns and the hunters

would be mobile. The fox would go hide at a given

time, usually trying to find a good spot that either

blocks or reflects their signal and where their car might

blend in or be hidden. The fox transmits on the repeater

input at a regular interval of two minutes for 30seconds

to a minute.

They talk about whatever they want, but they let every-

one know it is a fox hunt. The hunters all start at a pre-

determined parking lot and when the fox makes his/her

first transmission everyone tries to get a bearing.

Then we would look at our maps and head off in our

mobiles. Most people were a team of two, but I did it by

myself. When we found a good safe spot to take anoth-

er bearing we would pull over and within 2minutes you

knew there was going to be another transmission to DF.

The timed transmission interval keeps it so that you

don't have to pull over abruptly, because you know

there will be another every 2 min.

In 20 minutes you could easily pull over 3 times a few

miles apart and have a good idea of the location that

your bearings cross. Then you would check your map

and either flat out guess, or move in for more DFing.

The first one to find the fox gets to do the hiding next

time, and is awarded a small stuffed fox that gets passed

on each hunt.

Ramsey Kit on loan from Stan Engels, WA2UET, for

the club to use in a possible upcoming Fox Hunt.

Fox hunting is a great way to hone our skills at tracking

down rogue transmitters and rigs with stuck micro-

phones.

Most of us used homemade tape measure 3 element beams (because they are flexible and don't break getting in/out

of a back seat) hooked to an HT, but some just used an HT with body blocking, and others had Doppler shift setups

on their cars. With a small beam you can change horizontal/vertical to help cut signal strength.

Some people also used attenuation because if the signal was strong enough you couldn't tell what direction it came

from, but if the fox uses an HT that isn't a problem. After two or three direction readings you can get a pretty good

idea of the location but then you look at hills, buildings, signal strength etc. It usually took 20-40 minutes for every-

one to find the fox. The fox would have donuts or drinks to enjoy while we waited for everyone. It was a lot of fun

and made for some good stories afterward.

Of course the whole thing is coming over the repeater so it tended to get others interested as well. It really was the

most fun I've had in ham radio.

Rip Van Winkle Amateur Radio Society Repeater Operation Rules

The Rip Van Winkle Amateur Radio Society maintains several repeaters for the use of club members as well

as for all amateur radio operators. Operation and use of these repeaters shall comply fully with the Amateur

Radio Service (Part 97) regulations of the Federal Communications Commission's Private Radio Service, and

the following rules of the Rip Van Winkle Amateur Radio Society:

1. The repeaters are provided for the purposes of contacting and passing information between fellow ama-

teur radio operators, and providing service to the public as a voluntary, noncommercial communication ser-

vice, particularly with respect to providing emergency communications.

2. In the spirit of the Amateur Radio Service, users shall respect and support each other in a courteous and

positive manner.

3. Due to the significant usage of repeaters by mobile users during commute hours; 6:00--9:00 AM and 4:00

--7:00 PM, the length of QSOs must be kept to a reasonable maximum. Conversations must be limited to 20

continuous minutes to permit others to use the repeater. During QSO's, operators must always pause before

transmitting, to allow other stations to break in. As the 147.210 repeater is the main frequency for the Rip

Van Winkle ARS, users should consider using one of the other repeaters or simplex for longer discussions.

4. Operators shall announce their call sign before transmitting any touch-tone commands, at the end of each

communication, and EVERY TEN MINUTES OR LESS during a communication.

5. There shall be ABSOLUTELY NO communications containing obscene, indecent, or profane words, lan-

guage, or denigrating inference. Discussion of political or potentially sensitive social issues should be avoid-

ed. If such discussion is undertaken, it must be conducted in a respectful manner and not be provocative or

angry in nature.

6. No one shall cause or condone the malicious or intentional interference of anyone communications on the

repeaters.

7. No person shall cause, or condone, malicious or intentional interference to anyone communicating via the

repeaters.

8. Control Operators designated by the Board and/or the Repeater Trustee are required to turn off a repeater

to terminate improper operation or use.

9. The Rip Van Winkle Amateur Radio Society officers and repeater trustee reserve the right to forbid the

use of the repeaters by anyone who repeatedly violates these rules, or anyone who facilitates or encourages

others to violate these rules.

10. Operators may not comment or discuss reprimands or corrective action taken by the club with any other

amateur via club repeaters.


5…4…3…2…1: Readability Reports

By Dan Romanchik, KB6NU

I'm big on Twitter. It connects me to a lot of interesting amateur radio operators, and I find a lot of food for thought

there. Yesterday, I saw the following Tweet:

Charlie – M0PZT @M0PZT

Blog updated: RST and Speed Matters http://www.m0pzt.com/blog/rst-and-speed-matters/ #hamradio

Being a CW geek, of course I was interested. Charlie’s point is that if you get a bad report, you probably should send

more slowly. I certainly have no argument with that.What I do take a little bit of an issue with is that Charlie says, “A

Readability 4 report should really make it known that information needs to be brief, but repeated – Certainly no ANT/

RIG/WX waffle!”

According to most sources, Readability 4 means, “Readable with practically no difficulty.” When I receive an R4 re-

port, I might slow down a little, but it doesn't mean to me that I have to cut the contact short or repeat information

over and over. I replied on Twitter that if the operator at the receiving station is having so much trouble copying, then

the report should probably be 319 or even 219.

Of course, RST reports are open to interpretation. With that in mind, I thought I'd explain a little more fully how I de-

cide what Readability report to give:

R5: Perfectly readable. To me, this means that copying a signal is no work at all, and that it sounds like it’s coming

out of a code practice oscillator. I can put my feet up on the desk or putter around the shack while I’m ragchewing

with the other operator.

R4: Readable with practically no difficulty. “Practically no difficulty” is the key phrase here. There may be some

QRN or QSB on this signal, and I have to pay some attention while copying. An R4 is still solid copy, though, and

ragchewing is definitely possible.

R3: Readable with considerable difficulty. A signal that rates an R3 needs my full attention. I have to work at copying

the signal, and even then, might miss characters here and there. Even though I don’t copy every single character, I’m

able to fill in the gaps. An R3 signal might not be good enough for a ragchew, and repeating information is probably a

good idea.

R2: Barely readable, occasional words distinguishable. A signal that rates an R2 is usually so weak that it’s below the

noise level or drops below the noise level occasionally. At this level, the contact will definitely be brief and any im-

portant information, such as the callsign needs to be repeated.

R1: Unreadable. Generally, I would never give out this report, as I would never attempt making contact if a signal was

truly unreadable.

Although my explanations above reflect the fact that I'm primarily a CW operator, I think they also apply to phone or

even digital contacts. For example, an R5 for a phone contact would mean that the signal sounds like it could be com-

ing from just down the street or coming through the local repeater.

What do you think? How do you decide what Readability report to give?

Hudson, NY

All are Welcome

Please join us on the Tuesday night

Roundtable on 147.210 at 7:00 PM.

ALL are welcome!

Use the EchoLink (K2RVW-R) if

need be.

Your dues are important to this club! We sup-

port the operation of the repeater at between

700 and 800 dollars per year just in electric

bills. We are always upgrading and improving

and maintaining the system. Some of this ex-

pense is covered by our members. Our insur-

ance is $320 per year. Food alone for Field Day

and the picnic is over $300. We purchase some

kind of snack for each meeting at probably

around an average of $15 per month and about

another $100 plus for the goody fest. Other than

dues our income is sparse. The only substantial

income has been the fall tag sale and the goods

to sell are running out. The income from the

raffle is not a lot. Our paid roster so far in 2016

is only 45 members paid. About $600 income

from dues so far. A rough estimate is about

$1600 expense and about $600 income leaving

us in the hole for $1000. At the current rate we

will be broke in two years! I know that several

more members will pay their dues soon, but if

you could pay sooner it would make it easier to

plan. These figures are obviously a rough esti-

mate but I think you can all see the potential

dilemma looming. Please consider helping to

maintain your club. Not only dues but your at-

tendance at the meetings and your donations

toward the fall tag sale and other needed sup-

port.

Thanks, your treasurer...

WIRES-X Operating! WIRES-X is an interface to the world wide internet. It is digital work-

ing with the Fusion system. I have made a couple of contacts with it

and they are awesome audio quality! In digital mode it far exceeds the

audio quality of Echolink and DStar, The software is upgraded and

working through the repeater. You will however need a digital

UHF radio to use it. And if the WIRES-X is in use it will tie up the

repeater. I will email basic operating procedures to members as

soon as I figure them out. There are rig specific WIRES-X manuals

on the Yaesu.com web site. Some of our members have used it and

seem to be impressed. Another interesting fun mode of Amateur

Radio. And some rooms are very active.

If you have a Yaesu Fusion radio go to the Yaesu web site and down-

load the WIRES-X manual for your radio. It should walk you through

making a connection on the system available on the 449.925 repeater. I

usually have the system running while I am here. I turn it off when I

leave because I don’t know enough about it and don’t want to make a

mess.

miles to a left turn off of 9H onto

County Route 27. It is marked.

Stay on route 27 for about 2.5

miles and the Firehouse is on the

right with a sign out front. Park in

the lot just before the building.

Firehouse from RVW Bridge and 9G.

From the intersection of 9G and

Route 23 take 23 about 2.7 miles to

the traffic light at the intersection

of Route 9. Go straight through the

traffic light and travel about 2.7

miles on route 9 to the next traffic

light at the intersection of 9H and

82. Turn left at that light onto

Route 9H about 2.8 miles to Coun-

ty 27. Stay on route 27 for about

2.5 miles and the Firehouse is on

the right with a sign out front. Park

in the lot just before the building.

For your information...

We have the antenna and have the cables and switches for the HF station in the Churchtown Firehouse. We should have a station set up and working soon so that we might do some operating on meeting nights.

Thanks again Barry.

The repeaters are as follows:

The 147.210 repeater is unchanged! Using

a MTR-2000 with no PL tone required.

However there is a tone encoded at 110.9

Hz if you want to set up Tone Squelch on

your receiver.

The 449.925 Fusion repeater now requires

a PL tone of 110.9 Hz and also encodes that

tone for the use of your Tone Squelch.

The 224.280 repeater is completely un-

changed and works like a champ.

The NEW 147.015 Fusion repeater does

not require a PL tone but also encodes a

tone at 110.9 for the use of your tone

squelch.

The new 147.015 antenna is 80’ lower than the 147.210 antenna but seems to work

just as good as the 147.210…

There are some scratchy’s on our signals when the wind blows hard on the hill. That

apparently is just the nature of the Super Stationmaster antennas. We have talked

about changing them but that would be expensive and we would have a problem find-

ing a tower climber that is qualified by Insite Towers Company.
