Mark Twain The Buffalo Connection
ARRL staff will be operating as W1T from November 28 - December 4, in honor of Mark Twain's 181st birthday.
The highlight of the week will be a special event station on
the grounds of the Mark Twain House and Museum on November 30, Twain's
actual birthday. Activites from the Mark Twain House will be from 1400 -
2100 UTC.
November 30 will be the only day W1T will be active from the
Mark Twain House and Museum; all other W1T operations will take place in
the Hartford, Connecticut area, but not at the House and Museum.
Born in Missouri in 1835, Samuel Clemens, later known as Mark
Twain, lived in Hartford from 1874 - 1891. He wrote many of his classic
works while in Hartford, including The Advenures of Tom Sawyer, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.
Operations will be on all bands and modes, including
satellites. Staffers will be operating during non-work hours or during
lunch breaks.
A special QSL card will be available for the event. All QSOs will be uploaded to Logbook of The World.

CYPRUS QSL MATTERS ---> Baz, 5B4AHO has retired as QSL manager for the Pafos
Radio Club, after 10 years of stirling work. The new QSL manager is Norman,
5B4AIE. QSLs for the following calls should be sent via 5B4AIE: 5B4PRC,
C4EURO, C4EU, P3EU, P3R and 5B70VE.
QSLing 5B stations in general: a reminder that many Cyprus stations have a
QSL Manager who is not resident in Cyprus. It is therefore pointless to send
QSLs for these stations to the Cyprus QSL Bureau - the cards will almost
certainly not be delivered to their intended recipient. A full list of these
stations can be found here: http://bit.ly/1QdZQht [TNX 5B4AHJ, CARS QSL
Bureau Manager]
HV ON CLUB LOG ---> The logs for HV0A (QSOs after 2 February 2008), HV4NAC
(QSOs after 26 January 2008), HV50VR and HV6SP are now available on Club
Log. They will be updated soon after each activation. The logs are regularly
uploaded to LoTW. [TNX IK0PRG]
IOTA SURVEY --- > If you need IOTA groups OC-196, OC-198 and/or OC-228,
there is a quick survey to help Craig, VK5CE plan operations there in 2017:
https://freeonlinesurveys.com/s/hWzrlEwS.
YOTA MONTH ---> The Youngsters On The Air group will be active again during
the entire month of December. The idea for this event is to show the amateur
radio hobby to youth and to encourage youngsters to be active on the ham
radio waves. Participating stations include 3V8YOTA, 4O1YOTA, 4O2YOTA,
7X2YOTA, 9A0YOTA, 9A16YOTA, A2YOTA, A60YOTA, DA0YOTA, E71YOTA, ES9YOTA,
ET3AA/YOTA, GB16YOTA, HA6YOTA, HB9YOTA, II2YOTA, II5YOTA, J62YOTA, LX4YOTA,
LY5YOTA, OD5RI/YOTA, OE16YOTA, OH2YOTA, OM9YOTA, ON4YOTA, PA6YOTA, PD6YOTA,
SH9YOTA, TM0YOTA, YO0YOTA, YT16YOTA and ZS9YOTA. QSLs via Club Log's OQRS.
See www.ham-yota.com/december-yota-month/ for information on the event and
the award.

CYPRUS QSL MATTERS ---> Baz, 5B4AHO has retired as QSL manager for the Pafos
Radio Club, after 10 years of stirling work. The new QSL manager is Norman,
5B4AIE. QSLs for the following calls should be sent via 5B4AIE: 5B4PRC,
C4EURO, C4EU, P3EU, P3R and 5B70VE.
QSLing 5B stations in general: a reminder that many Cyprus stations have a
QSL Manager who is not resident in Cyprus. It is therefore pointless to send
QSLs for these stations to the Cyprus QSL Bureau - the cards will almost
certainly not be delivered to their intended recipient. A full list of these
stations can be found here: http://bit.ly/1QdZQht [TNX 5B4AHJ, CARS QSL
Bureau Manager]
HV ON CLUB LOG ---> The logs for HV0A (QSOs after 2 February 2008), HV4NAC
(QSOs after 26 January 2008), HV50VR and HV6SP are now available on Club
Log. They will be updated soon after each activation. The logs are regularly
uploaded to LoTW. [TNX IK0PRG]
IOTA SURVEY --- > If you need IOTA groups OC-196, OC-198 and/or OC-228,
there is a quick survey to help Craig, VK5CE plan operations there in 2017:
https://freeonlinesurveys.com/s/hWzrlEwS.
YOTA MONTH ---> The Youngsters On The Air group will be active again during
the entire month of December. The idea for this event is to show the amateur
radio hobby to youth and to encourage youngsters to be active on the ham
radio waves. Participating stations include 3V8YOTA, 4O1YOTA, 4O2YOTA,
7X2YOTA, 9A0YOTA, 9A16YOTA, A2YOTA, A60YOTA, DA0YOTA, E71YOTA, ES9YOTA,
ET3AA/YOTA, GB16YOTA, HA6YOTA, HB9YOTA, II2YOTA, II5YOTA, J62YOTA, LX4YOTA,
LY5YOTA, OD5RI/YOTA, OE16YOTA, OH2YOTA, OM9YOTA, ON4YOTA, PA6YOTA, PD6YOTA,
SH9YOTA, TM0YOTA, YO0YOTA, YT16YOTA and ZS9YOTA. QSLs via Club Log's OQRS.
See www.ham-yota.com/december-yota-month/ for information on the event and
the award.

The Bands Suck Today! What to do?
Yes, I know...the bands suck. Time to find something new to do.
I was on the air a few weeks ago and was talking on 20 meter Olivia 8-250 to Craig, VE1JMA/VA1CM in Nova Scotia and he was telling me about the weather satellites that broadcast on the 137-138 Mhz satellite band. The mode of transmission is APT automatic picture transmission on FM. It is similar to the FAX transmissions on HF that the NOAA broadcasts via the US Coast Guard. The satellites do not store the images but rather transmit the images as they pass overhead. These birds are not geostationary but are low earth Polar Orbit which yields several passes each day.
Here are some images I have captured.
Whats Needed:
A radio that can receive 137-138 Mhz FM
A computer
An interface like a signal link
Software:
WxtoImg. This software is free to use and can track the satellites, control the radio, and decode the image transmissions.
WXtoImg
This software runs on PC, Mac, and Linux....
A word about antennas... These images were received using a 2mtr/440 vertical antenna. What is recommended is a QFH antenna.
This antenna can be built using coax...see the link below.
