TDW and stuff
N3DQU@...
Just wanted to let everybody know that all of the TDW certificates are
finally in the mail whew! Thanks to all who waited patiently for their endorsements and upgrades while we dealt with the extra workload, and thanks to all the 070 participants who made our very first on-the-air event a great success. Here's to next year's TDW! BTW, you should know that we are planning another contest, tentatively scheduled for this coming January. While the rules are still more or less in the works, it is pretty much a sure thing that it is going to be your standard, 24 hour PSK contest with power classes, etc. But unlike the TDW, the January contest is going to be open to everyone, not just to 070 Club members. So it will be interesting to see how much activity we can scare up outside our group. We have also added a little wrinkle for the QRPer's in this one, with power class entries for QRP single-band and QRP multi-band. Hopefully this will give the kitbashers out there a better chance to show off what they can do with their monoband rigs! If you have an itch for contesting however, you do not have to wait for January to scratch it! QRP-ARCI is hosting an End of Summer Sprint in September, the TARA Rumble Fall Classic is scheduled for October, and the first annual Anatolian AKA PSK contest is up for November (endorsement in the works). Links for all of these contests can be found on the 070 Club webpage at < http://hometown.aol.com/n3dqu/podxs070.htm >. One final reminder that the Latvian Radio Amateur League is celebrating the 800th anniversary of Riga, the capital city of Latvia by offering a certificate for working YL800 stations from 01 July 2001 until 30 September 2001. I have also been working with Andris YL2FD to come up with an endorsement for working YL800 PSK31 stations. Although the endorsement requirements and graphics are still in the works, my best advice to you is to work any YL800 stations you hear on PSK, then standby for further info on the endorsement...73 de Jay N3DQU.

W3HF/6
Steve W3HF
I'll be heading back out to California tomorrow, and operating (when
I have time) from the Lockheed Martin club station in Sunnyvale. It has been reported that they now have a Rigblaster hooked up to a Yaesu FT-1000D. (Their antennas are pretty nice, too.) Assuming I can figure out how they're set up, I may be able to get on the WARC bands. And from my experience there last month, I expect the signal from the station to do quite well. (My three watt PSK-20 was 599 into VK, FK, JA, and BX.) I'll be out there until 3 August. So keep your eyes open for W3HF/6, and maybe I'll even be able to get on the other bands. 73, Steve W3HF P.S. If you want to check out the station, there's a web site at http://www.qsl.net/lmeraarc P.P.S. Could someone forward to me the "standard" PSK frequencies for the other bands? I've never paid much attention since I am single-band at home. Thanks.

email forwarding services
N3DQU@...
Just a reminder that if you have signed up for the 070 reflector using an
email forwarding service like ARRL as your email address (e.g. n3dqu@arrl.net), then you may not be able to post messages to the reflector. If that is the case, send an email to n3dqu@aol.com with your callsign and home email address and I'll getcha fixed up! 73 de Jay N3DQU.

Re: ...where a microphone is a great doorstop!
John Penezic <ag4cz@...>
Gee y'all gonna embarrass me. Actually glad to
see the response to the forms. It is actually kinda fun putting them
together. Hope they prove to be helpful for everyone else. I sure enjoy being
able to pull them up and see exactly where I stand and what I need, without
searching the logbook and sorting stuff out, and comparing to criteria, and
......you get the idea.
While it is true that you won't find me on any of
them fone nets, you may occasionally hear my voice during a contest (after I get
all the cobwebs out of the mic). I do sometimes make the PSK nets on 40 though.
Jay, you must have been watching when I got my 300
sticker. It was awful embarrassing when the neighbors came out and saw me
chasing the xyl around the backyard. Especially when I tripped up in the radials
laid out in the yard. hi hi.
If anyone has an idea for a web form just let me
know. Well have fun with 'em and where is everyone on the
WARC bands????
73,
John AG4CZ

Back, sort of
n1zzz@...
Hello everyone. I am back on solid ground, for a week at least. Thanks to
everyone I worked /MM and from ZD8 land. I'd like to especially thank Erika (DL2AYL) and Nando (PU5OPR). Thanks Nando for the wonderful dinner and tour in Paranagua, Brazil, and thanks to Erika for keeping tabs on me and relaying email to Nando that helped make our meeting possible. I have updated my eQSL.cc accounts for both my /mm activity and my log from Ascension. Paper cards will be sent out once I have them printed and return from my next voyage in mid September. Sorry for the delay, but work calls. I will be sailing again Monday 7/30 for Ascension so look for me /mm until about 8/20 when I will reactivate ZD8JA for a few days and then back to /mm until mid September. See you on the Air! 73 Jeremy N1ZZZ/ZD8JA

30m
N3DQU@...
Well, how did you guys do on 30m Friday nite? I saw a lot of traces out
there, but had pretty rough copy due to strong QRN fm local t-storm activity. I did manage to work K6CEG out in southern California, but Charlie's sigs weren't nearly as good as they were the week before. Props were better going the other way towards Europe, where I managed to work CT4MS over in Portugal. Leonel had a pretty strong signal into the eastern US and he gave me a 59, so either he felt sorry for me or else the band really was open towards Europe Friday nite hi! So anybody else making headway on the Tri-WARC? de Jay N3DQU.

...where a microphone is a great doorstop!
N3DQU@...
The next time you're out surfin the web, check out AG4CZ's website at <
http://www.qsl.net/ag4cz/ > ...John sez his amateur station is the place "where a microphone is a great doorstop". ..Hmmm, don't think we'll be hearing AG4CZ checkin' in on them 20m fone nets anytime soon hi! But he does do the 070 Club proud when it comes to web forms tho. Click on that "PSK Clubs and Awards" folder and there you will see "endorsement trackers" for those little orphans like the Maple Leaf, Wrk'd All Oz and the China Clipper, all endorsements that have yet to be claimed by anyone. This is a really neat way to keep track of your progress towards these critters. To use John's endorsement trackers, you have to have your computer cookie-enabled. Then when you type in the callsign data, it will be stored as a cookie on your computer. When you finally have the form filled out, then you're ready to send that log data in to N3DQU! Then and only then may you commence to jumping up and down like a crazy person, screaming and yelling, laughing hysterically and chasing the xyl around the backyard naked yelling "Da man, I'm da man!". ...Well, one can only imagine! Anyways, I especially like the way John has the China Clipper endorsement tracker set up...wonder if anybody can work them in order from California to the Philippines? BTW John is also the guy responsible for the 070 Club on-line application program, a very nice job. While you're at John's website, check out some of the other stuff he has there too, like interface information, a quick and easy vertical with 20 radials (!), just to name a few. Well, in closing I'd just like to say "Hey John, you da man!" 73 de Jay N3DQU.

OK so where is everyone hiding?
I looked on 10.140 and 10,142 for an hour tonight and not a single PSK signal? What frequency is everyone using (other than none) on 17 and 12 meters?? I have 18.100 and 24.92 MHz are they any good have not seen any signals there for the last week. Hope everyone is well and still having fun Steve D N6YIH/7
