May 21, 2015 Meeting Minutes

Five members in attendance: Kirk Crawford KG6MTE, Donald Hall KK6DCX, Ryan Noguchi AI6DO, Phil Martzen KK6PSA, and Teresa Moore AG6OD

Discussed putting a current club inventory and a list of things that can be checked out by members on the web site. Ryan will work with Joe to categorize the D8 shack, including creating a block diagram of how everything is connected and directions on how to use various equipment.

Field Day: 1800 UTC Saturday to 2059 UTC Sunday = 11 am Saturday through 3 pm Sunday

We will use the trailer as a base again this year, and park it at VC1. This year’s goal is to stay longer and make more contacts than we did last year. Don will be our publicity chair and contact the Orbiter and or Aerospace photographer to cover the event, as well as consider external media and inviting distinguished guests. Ryan will bring over equipment from the D8 shack. Kirk and Teresa will work on logistics, including loading the trailer, bringing over equipment from the A2 shack (easy up, banner, antennas, etc.), moving the radios in the trailer so that they are far enough apart that a different person could work each station, coordinating signups, and getting folding tables and chairs for the event. Kirk will coordinate getting the trailer moved after 11 am on Friday.

  • Things that need to be done in preparation for Field Day:
  • load trailer
  • space out radios

Field Day, Meeting, Shack

March 2015 Ham Radio Club Meeting

Ham Radio Club Meeting 3-26-15, held in A3/2226

MP3 File of the meeting:

Kirk did a slideshow presentation covering various topics, including the new D1 shack, the trailer, and planning for Field Day.

D1 shack:  the D1 shack is now operational, located in D1/640.  It’s on a bench in Teresa’s lab, so see her for access.  The antenna does not have as much range as the one on D8 as Kirk (who checks in on his way to work) cannot check in from as far away as he used to be able to.  We can try raising it a bit to see if that helps.
The drug remains effective for two hours and this is possible only because of http://deeprootsmag.org/2015/07/21/no-no-mortal-man-this/ viagra cipla india that you can utilize for sexual arousal so that the drug can work for you or that it is excessively high for you and may demand a lower or higher fraction for your recovery without making a negotiation with your body safety.

Trailer progress:  The HF radio is now back after being sent out for repairs.  The plan is to check it out using the HF whip on the trailer.  The security and maintenance radio will be installed in the trailer soon.  We do need to spend some time in the trailer before Field Day so we can space the radios out as they are too close together for comfortable operation of both at once.  A redeployed monitor has been put in the trailer for the packet system.

Field Day planning:  Field Day is June 27-28 this year.  We will be in parking lot of V1 again this year as that worked out well last year.  We need to start thinking about what equipment we want to use.  It would be good to have a portable tower and antenna for each band being worked (2m, 220, 440, HF, packet).  People bringing personal radios should bring lots of coax.  Single sideband would be better than FM for VHF bands if we can find the equipment.  We need to find out what equipment we have available (Teresa will ask Joe about the HF antenna we bought last year) and start gathering and testing it.  One thing we need to be sure to bring is a portable SWR meter.  ACTION ITEM:  make sure we get wheels put on the generator.

Portable repeater project:  Don will look into a radio that has cross-band capability for the trailer.

Safety and Security day:  we need to keep this on our radar as we want to have a club presence this year.  We’re not sure of the date yet.

The radio equipment that was purchased for the D1 shack has arrived and has been installed.  The Radio has been tested and can reach the El Segundo Repeater.  The simplex portion of the system will be tested after this meeting.  Teresa will try out here new roll as the NCO tomorrow.  If club members would like to try out the radio setup, contact Teresa Moore for access. 

We discussed possible meeting topics for future meetings.  I will research a tree mounted dipole system I plan to use for  my home, and will present that at some point.

Teresa’s husband knows about digital modes may come in and present.

We also agree we should check  out the field day equipment we have to make sure we know how to set it up and use it before field day comes along. Hopefully we can do this in either March or April.

I also took an action item to contact Jason to inquire about the  HF Radio Status for the trailer.

Teresa will study the cross-band repeater mode of her new radio, and we plan to try it out in order to test it’s use for a possible future CERT exercise.

We gave recommendations to Victor Lin on possible VHF radios to buy as his first radio. The conclusion was to try the inexpensive Baofeng radio available on Amazon for ~$30.

The meeting was adjourned at about 12:20 and we went up to the D8 Shack for a little tour.
