Editorial: Be Civil and Respectful On the way home from the Spring 2017 West Central Florida Section ARES Meeting, I was running my handheld radio on APRS as a mobile tracker. I re- ceived the following text message from someone: "Hey dummy, program your ra- dio correctly." Apparently someone did not like a parameter that was set on my radio and took exception to it. The question I asked myself after the comment had disturbed me was the following: What if I had been a new amateur licensee? If so, I might have become discouraged and bitter as a result of that comment. I might have quit. There is a lesson to be learned from this incident. We in the amateur community should always be civil to one another. This does not mean you cannot disagree, but you can state your disagreement and remain respectful/civil about it. It does not offend me if someone does not agree with what I say or what I do, if it is in a civil manner. Lack of civility is sadly a sign of the times we live in. Far too often today when one states their viewpoint, even when they state it with civility, it is met with rudeness or even with a vitriolic response. In Amateur Radio we should be the exception to this trend and be civil to one another both on the air and in person, as an example to our peers and to the next generation. Another lesson to be learned here is to be aware that sometimes operators have either technical issues with their equipment or procedures (AC hum on the micro- phone, cracking sounds, wrong parameters programmed on digital modes, im- proper operating procedure, etc.). It is okay to point an issue out to them if you know what the problem is, but remember to be civil about it, in a positive, helpful way. A new amateur may not have learned all of the proper procedures yet. Talk to them in a respectful manner, preferably off the air. In the case of most people, if you approach them with a modest and humble attitude, they will listen to what you have to say. If I have a problem, I would want someone to tell me, because I may not know about it. One more lesson: We all have our favorite modes of operation and parts of the service we enjoy more than others. Don't put down or demean another amateur's interests. It's okay to invite other hams to join your part of the hobby but if they say no, don't feel slighted. They might on the other hand say yes, but you will not know until you ask. Also, if someone tells you about their favorite mode, take the time to listen. You may decide it is not of interest to you and say "No thank you" and that is perfectly okay. But on the other hand you may say "yes." The Amateur's Code was written by Paul Segal, W9EEA, in 1928 after another time in which Amateur Radio had a tumultuous period before regulations fully took effect in the mid 1920's. The Fourth point in the code says: "FRIENDLY with slow and patient operation when requested, friendly advice and counsel to the beginner, kindly assistance, co-operation and consideration for the interests of others. These are the hallmarks of the amateur spirit". For the full text of the code, please see http://wwwqcwa.org/amateur-code.htm -- Darrell Davis, KT4WX, ARRL West Central Florida Section Manager, reprinted from The WCF Presser and West Central Florida Section News N E T R E P O R T For July 2017 In June we had a total of 30 check-ins. When you can, please, check-in to the net and come to the club meeting. We need to keep up with communications. Thank you all for checking in. We welcome ALL hams to check in. The net is held at 7 pm. We are on the White Bluff repeater of 147.375 PL Tone 146.2 and back-up simplex frequency 146.570. The net is going good. We have seven who volunteered to take net control on a rotational basis. Thank you Charles KN4HL for becoming a net controller. We need more volunteers. We need 2 or 3 more people. You don’t have to be good at it. Just do it! We have a net control script to use as a guide line so you don’t have to make something up to say. To volunteer send me an email with your name, call sign and email address. Don Tigges [email protected] I will then add you to the calendar which can be seen on www.wc4dc.org along with the net script. Thanks.

CODE PURPLE (No not the movie or song by Prince) If you happen to see Purple spray painted on a post rock or anything don’t take it for a gang sign. It is a new Tennessee law replacing No Trespassing signs. The purple indicates no trespassing. So, beware of the color Purple. De NA4C APRS What is APRS? Who thinks it stands for Automatic Position Reporting System? Well it stands for Automatic Packet Reporting System. APRS was developed in the late 1980’s for local tactical digital communications, adding situational awareness to your radio work. With a quick glance at a screen, you should see all operators in your area and, ideally, what frequency they are monitoring. APRS is transmitted on 144.390 fm. Despite popular opinion APRS isn’t LoJack for ham radio. But it does work for that also. I use mine for several reasons. 1. When away from home and I can see if my vehicle is still at my house or if someone stole it. 2. My daughter can see where we were last especially if we are on a trip. 3. When my wife goes with my daughter someplace she turns on APRSdroid on her phone and I can tell where they are. In an ARES world it can tell the EOC who is closer to a disaster area or if something happened to you they know your last location. On your phone, tablet, or laptop go to www.aprs.fi and chances are it will bring up Helsinki. ON right side of screen in the search box either type a call sign you are looking for or in address box type Dickson, TN and hit search and you will see all in the area. Symbols: A black diamond is either an IGATE or Digipeater. The IGATE receives the signal and reports it to the internet. A Digipeater receives that signal and does two things; reports to internet and repeats it out to other IGATEs. Typically you will see the call sign KV4PU-10 for the IGATE. KV4PU-9 for a vehicle, and KV4PU-5 for telephone (APRSdroid).

  • Facsimile — Radiofax
    This chapter is part of the book Image Communication on Short Waves. © 2012, Martin Bruchanov OK2MNM — http://www.sstv-handbook.com Document version: November 17, 2019 11 Facsimile — Radiofax Facsimile (from latin facere – make and simile – similar) is one of the oldest com- munication modes and it is used for an image transmission. The facsimile is mainly used by professional services for wireless distribution of meteorological maps and informations, hence the name Weather Facsimile (WEFAX) follows from it. The radiofax can be used by radio amateurs too. 11.1 The history of image transmission Already in 1843 a Scottish clockmaker Alexander Bain suggested that some images can be broadcast via electric lines, when it is electrically scanned by rows and point by point. That’s the basic idea of image transmission. Bain’s example was soon followed by other entrepreneurs. In 1847 an Englishman Frederick Collier Bakewell reeled an image in the transmitter and sheet of paper to cylinder in the receiver, which was turned by the clock machine. The picture were printed with fat on a tinfoil sheet. A honor for the first fax service, however belongs to Giovanni Caselli, Italian catholic priest and physicist. In 1856 he built device named panthèlègraph. With pantèlègraph could be sent images or texts. Caselli received enthusiastic support from the French emperor Napoleon III. The emperor personally visited his workshop in 1860 and enabled him an access to teleg- raphy lines. The first commercial fax service started in 1865 in Paris anditwas connecting some major cities of France. Indeed the transmission was very slow and the fees were high so there was only few clients.

Thereafter, winds are favored to increase to at least normal magnitudes as eastern Pacific High Pressure is re-established and strengthens. Tropical cyclone activity (i.e., associated remote wind and wave impacts) are a likely threat for much, if not all of the event period.
