NEW HF OPERATORS - THINGS TO DO

Four big QSO Parties are this weekend, representing sixteen states. If you're
participating as a station located in New England, the seventh call area,
Delaware, or Indiana, give out your county and state, using the appropriate
abbreviation for your county. Outside-of-QSO-party-area-stations provide their
state, or if they're DX, their country.

Most QSO Parties encourage mobile or temporary operation from lesser-populated
counties. If the bands are open, it may even be possible to get some new UHF
or VHF grid squares. It always helps to read the rules, and visit the websites
of the contests. Some, like the 7QP, publish a list of planned activations.
When you work a station set up on a county line, you'll need to be able to log
multiple counties, quickly. Your logging program may have some features to
help you do this, or even more advanced QSO Party tricks. See your logger's
documentation. N1MM Logger+ has a whole section on QSO Party operation. N3FJP
provides different logging programs for different QSO Parties.

If QRP and hand-generated CW using a straight key, sideswiper, or bug are more
your fancy, the SKCC Weekend Sprintathon is where you'll want to be. Check the
rules for the power-based scoring details.

The next weekend features Arkansas's QSO Party, or if you enjoy earning
multipliers during a contest, in the MARAC contest there are 3077 different
multipliers - one for each county.

It's the beginning of the VHF season, and six meters is wonderful when it's
open. And it COULD be during the Spring 50 MHz Sprint. Openings can come and
go as Sporadic E-clouds form, move, and dissipate. There are a number of
websites that consolidate spots and report on VHF activity, here's just one
from dxmaps.com.


BULLETINS

The ARRL Contest Advisory Committee is studying how to get more young people
involved in contesting, and is inviting everyone, especially young people,
hams or not, to take their Youth in Amateur Radiosport survey. Please spread
the word about the survey among your friends, ham radio clubs and your local
schools. Go to this link to take the survey: tinyurl.com/YouthHamRadio For
more information contact K5KG@arrl.net


If you're a professional attending the 2016 International Microwave Symposium
(IMS) conference in San Francisco, you are probably keenly aware of the
importance of finding engineering graduates with practical experience. The
ARRL will have a presence at IMS and it could directly benefit you and your
company. The League's theme for this year is to gather ideas from industry
professionals about how to encourage students and educators to participate in
Amateur Radio as a means of personal and professional development. Companies
hire hams because they have practical experience with RF and communications
systems, standing out from other students. How can we spread the word? Come
say hello and contribute your thoughts. Have a little free time? The ARRL is
also seeking volunteers at the booth in "University Row" to talk with show
attendees, students, educators, and other interested people - contact Ward,
N0AX for more information.

NEWS, PRESS RELEASES, AND GENERAL INTEREST

Hold the date: The Pacific Northwest VHF Society will hold it's 2016
conference at the Shilo Inn in Bend, Oregon, on October 7-8, 2016. As in the
past, the format will include Friday afternoon activities, and activities all
of Saturday. As more information becomes available it will be on the PNWVHFS
website. (Jim, K7ND, via PNWVHFS reflector)

DX Engineering has brought back an old favorite, the clear glass antenna
insulator for wire antennas. Furthermore, Spanish maker EAntenna Yagi and
Dipole antennas are now available from DX Engineering.

LED Lighting continues it's practical advance. At the local home store, you
can buy four foot long LED lights which replace conventional fluorescent
fixtures of that size. In addition to having greater light output and lower
power consumption, Tony, N2TK, reports on the RFI reflector that the fixtures
he's tried are RFI-free in the ham bands. (RFI Reflector)

Some RTTY Contesters also chase DX. If that describes you, click on over to
the "2016 Digital Mode Most Wanted Survey," previously known as "RTTY Most
Needed DXCC Entities Survey." According to the survey team consisting of Don,
AA5AU, Ed, W0YK, and Larry, K8UT, "these surveys help DXpedition planners and
are of interest to all digital operators." Results from years past are
available via AA5AU's website. The team is also working to obtain most-wanted
statistical information from other sources like ClubLog. (RTTY mailing list)

N3FJP has released a new version of his AC Log program. In addition, all of
his contest logging programs have been released with improvements including
API support. See the N3FJP website for more details.

While touch screens are already starting to be incorporated into ham gear,
their use continues to be discussed and debated. This article from EE Times
discusses some of the practical considerations of using touch screens in an
automotive environment, which shares with contesting similar issues of
potential electrical noise and operator focus.


WORD TO THE WISE

Latency: the delay from an input to a system to an output from that same
system. For example, some RTTY decoders may be more accurate in noisy
conditions, but make take as long as one to three character times to spit out
a decoded character.

SIGHTS AND SOUNDS

Jim Brown K9YC was honored with the Northern California Contest Club (NCCC)
"Elmer of the Year" award on April 23, 2016. Even if you're not part of NCCC,
you'll likely be familiar with Jim's extensive electronic presence on various
ham-related mailing lists, and through his contributions to various
publications. Jim keeps his own list of publications on his website.

At the recent International DX Convention, held in Visalia, California, Ward,
N0AX, was the moderator of the contest forum, which included N6TV, N6MJ, and
N2IC. Ward encouraged opening statements, and Bob, N6TV led with the assertion
that for Single Operators, a waterfall display is becoming a necessity and
that our overall our community needs to better deter cheating, especially
remote receivers and transmitters. Dan, N6MJ, posited that the minimum bar for
competitive multi-single categories requires additional in-band radios, while
dueling CQ is going to be the leading edge among single ops. Steve, N2IC, one
of the major contributors to the N1MM Logger+ project, wanted to see more
communication and control standardization of equipment that we use in our
stations.

"The World Wide Radio Operators Foundation (WWROF) is pleased to present Tim
Duffy, K3LR, and a look at contest activities at Dayton 2016. You can view the
short video at http://wwrof.org/webinar-archive/dayton-2016-cont
st-activities/" (K4ZW via CQ-Contest)

Here's an amateur radio music video from Andrew, OZ5E and Lissa of the
HamBand! Andrew and his wife Lissa have recorded an entire CD of songs about
amateur radio. Though drawing upon various musical styles ranging from C&W
"The Radio Widow" to the more Rock-n-Roll style of "The Contest," you'll find
a solid country-folk orientation to these tunes.


RESULTS AND RECORDS

The article for the final results of the 2015 ARRL Phone Sweepstakes (PDF) are
now on the ARRL web site. If you're looking for inspiration for this year's
Sweepstakes, read about the all-youth ham led multi-operator effort by Marty,
KC1CWF, Ken, KC1AHI, and Nathan, KB1RD operating as KC1ENE.

WRTC-2018 standings continue to be updated on the WRTC-2018 website.


OPERATING TIP

Here's a mobile operating tip from Bill, AC0W: If you're operating mobile and
you find that your whip antennas are not staying at the correct length because
of slipping set screws, instead of using a thread-locking type of compound,
you could use a knurled cup point set screw, which will bite better than
normal set screws. This will allow easier intentional adjustment. They are
available from McMaster-Carr, Grainger, and other vendors.


TECHNICAL TOPICS AND INFORMATION

Jim, AD1C, has written an ADIF File splitter, to 'burst' a single file into
multiple files based on transmitted QTH. Each of these sub-files can be signed
and uploaded to LoTW using a different station location. He's tested it with
N1MM and WriteLog - see his website for more information and support for other
loggers.

Many amateur radio projects are incorporating Arduino-compatible computing
elements, and these gems are available in many different variations and sizes.
A new AA-battery sized Arduino board has just been developed. This could be a
nice way to add additional functionality into an existing piece of equipment.

By using an EEG to analyze brain activity while presented with a standardized
sets of images, humans can be differentiated from one another with 100%
accuracy. As it's not yet available commercially, we still have to remember to
type "OPON" for the foreseeable future.

Computers keep getting faster and faster, and smaller and smaller, but there's
a theoretical limit to how fast a computer can ever be, based on E=mc^2, and
the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. This is Bremermann's limit. Could an
effective DSP module to completely remove grow light noise ever be implemented
in hardware weighing less than a 3AG fuse? Knowing the complexity of the
algorithm, and the mass of the fuse, Bremermann's can provide a 
ack-of-the-envelope check for infeasibility.

The characteristics of the "impossible" EM Drive, also known as the 'resonant
cavity thruster,' which uses microwaves to seemingly accelerate a spacecraft,
have been linked to the already observed "fly-by anomaly" in this Technology
Review article.

Here are three sisters who 'contest' by writing computer code. And they win.

An accidental discovery at the University of California at Irvine involving
conductive nanowires with special coatings may end up dramatically increasing
the number of battery charge/discharge cycles.


CONVERSATION

Wow

So, where is it? You know. The "Wow" factor. Back in the golden days of Ham
Radio, just before and continuing to a couple of years after we got our
licenses... when mystery, adventure, small joys were ours for a time
investment. When trying to make a contact using a radio, some wire and some
electricity, and finally somebody answered our call? What we were able to
accomplish compared to everyone else was admirable, and exciting. It's what
got us into the hobby. Maybe careers.

The "Wow" factor. It's the thing we try to explain to young people, to get
them interested in the hobby, when they're not playing a game on the their
cellular phone. Or texting. Young people don't seem to see the Wow in Amateur
Radio.

What year did we as a hobby lose the Wow? I don't think it was all at once.
Some Wow might have been lost as electronics got miniaturized, and we could
walk around with our tunes. Wayne Greene, W2NSD, not content with 73 magazine,
did too good a job starting Byte magazine, and computers started down the path
to be micro-sized, more powerful, and consumer oriented. He had help over
time, certainly, but he was standing alone in September, 1975. Lots of hams
worked in the computer industry, too. Computers leaked a lot Wow. Our
wait-your-turn-to-talk repeaters certainly became less crowded as 'regular
folk' could talk on increasingly cheaper mobile telephones. Many hams were
involved in the consumer electronics and cellular phone industry, because who
knew best about this RF stuff?

While we contesters found computers great for things like logging without
duplicates, controlling our radios, helping to design our next project, normal
people were using computers to manage their recipes (perhaps you're of a
certain age to get that joke), playing games, and pretty much everything they
could. 10 - Computers made communications cheaper, which was good for hooking
up more computers, which meant communications became cheaper. GOTO 10. To
everyone, the Internet became something, and it also became their
communications spectrum.

In effect, we were generous, and we shared our Wow. Everyone could have some
of our Wow by buying it baked into consumer products and services, and most
didn't even recognize it. How can they understand and appreciate our hobby,
how challenging it can be and was, how rewarding it is overcoming challenges,
when they don't appreciate the Wow they use every day? To today's youth, the
Internet has always been "ON."

I like to think I recognize some of the Wows we have in Amateur Radio today.
There's definite Wow in the rates of single operator multiple-radio efforts
going full-bore, for hours on end. In the contest score records that are
broken with regularity. In having a QSO where the signals aren't humanly
discernable, and working via the moon with 100 watts. In having reliable
equipment that looks and performs better and cost less than ever (adjusted for
today's dollars). In seeing a graphical depiction of wide swaths of RF
spectrum, with signals decoded and labeled automatically. In getting a real
signal report simultaneously from multiple spots on the globe through an
autonomous distributed signal reporting network.

What will be tomorrow's Wows? Automated "Contest Mentors" that can help you be
a better operator? Instant public contest log scoring using distributed
ledgers or blockchains? Even better power efficiency and smaller sizes with
smarter gain blocks? Radically new designs for gain antennas? Communication
via quantum effects?

Wow is a renewable resource. It's what we create and look for to make our
stations better and our rates higher, and what helps to continue to attract
new people with new ideas to our hobby.

That's all for this time. Remember to send contesting related ephemera, book
reviews, tips, techniques, press releases, errata, club information, pictures,
stories, blog links, predictions, and Wow sightings to contest-update@arrl.org
