Breakfast This Saturday -- EAST SIDE!!


Announcing:

CASCADE QRP CLUB BREAKFAST -- January 9: EAST SIDE

Starts around 9:00 a.m. (but some show up a little earlier!)

We call this a club, but there are NO DUES, NO ROSTER, NO RULES, NO CLUB
OFFICERS! This is simply a group of people who love amateur radio and love
to talk about it! Most of us enjoy QRP (low power), but because there are
no rules, it doesn't matter what you enjoy about ham radio! In fact, you
don't even need to be a ham radio operator to join us at breakfast! (We can
help you get started!) Just show up and have a great breakfast with some
great company!

FUTURE BREAKFAST MEETINGS AND LOCATIONS

Both east and west side locations are Home Town Buffet (formerly Old Country
Buffet). Plug either of these into Mapquest for good directions:

EAST SIDE: 10542-A SE Washington Street, Portland 97216-2809 (105th and SE
Washington)

WEST SIDE: 13500 SW Pacific Highway, Tigard 97213-4804 (Not too far from Ham

Phil,
There should be more attendees than showed up last month!

I'm headed back to Omaha early Saturday morning, but hope to hear some of the
members on the bands. The 8 weeks in Portland went by fast.

I'm going to sell my 706 at Rickreal, and I can't find my HM-103 microphone for
it.  Does anyone out there have one to sell, or possibly might know one who I
could contact?  (New ones are $70)

I was thinking if someone replaced their original mic with a Heil or something
like that, they might have the spare HM-103.

Hello - I plan to be at the May 8th meeting. Anyone else? KM7Q Bob

I apologize very much for not sending out the reminder for yesterday's lunch. 
Too much on the plate.

I wasn't able to attend, and I hope anyone who did make it had a good breakfast.

I hope to see you all next month!  And I will get that notice out!

Hello - Had a great meeting of two members. I met Ed KQ1R, for discussion. 
Having been off the air since 1961, it was good to get caught up on procedural
changes, etc.  He did completely set a case for me to give up my belief that, at
least the higher licenses, require a five words per minute code test.  I now see
that ham radio is too big to have any "mode" requirement for the license. Much
has been added since my leaving the hobby.  Bob KM7Q

If you've been off the air since '61, then you have more recently acquired your
callsign...the 2X1s, as I recall, first came available circa 1976.

There's something enthusing, finding someone who was off the air and chose to
return.  Shows that the hobby has enough draw to bring people back into it.

I was mostly off the air from about '82 to '99, with the exception of two-meter
FM "drive time" during the early part of that period.  When I got back on "for
good" in '99, it was my old stomping grounds.  As a novice, my very first QSO
happened on 40 meter CW...so there's an old homey feeling to me about that band
and mode.  But each mode has its own magic.

CW tends to be inexorably linked with QRP...QRP is where the current groundswell
of home-brew and home-designed rigs is happening.  I believe there are more
homebrewers today than there were when I got my ticket in '74.  CQ QRP offers
the ability to design and build very simple rigs and with a simple antenna and
no need for the added millions of transistors in a computer, world-wide QSOs can
be made.  One of the sub-movements within QRP that I've stumbled across is what
is known as "minimal arts"...the construction of an entire QRP transciever with
the fewest possible components.  As I recall, the record is currently set at 14
parts.  That's everything - a single transistor, enough parts to make it
oscillate key-down and a clever re-biasing scheme that turns the TX oscillator
into an RX regenerative circuit on key-up.

If you have not encountered the SolderSmoke podcasts, they're worth a listen. 
124 of them have now been produced, at a rate of very roughly two every month
since 2005. www.soldersmoke.com - they're mp3 files and will simply play on any
computer.  Topics discussed in these audio programs are QRP, CW, SSB, digital
modes, building radios, building antennas, the culture of ham radio...you get a
really nice and comprehensive view into the world of today's tinkerers.

Wish I'd been there Saturday, sounds like a fun discussion. I had a VERY busy
weekend, and got less than half the list done, so I'm sunk for weekends for a
while....basically through Field Day.

Speaking of Field Day, if you want to join in with a good old fashioned LARGE
Field Day, the OTVARC gang will be up in Stub Stewart Park again this year. 
That's out west on US26 to US47, then head north toward Vernonioa - the turnoff
is near the top of the hill, you don't go all the way to Vernonia.  We had 150
attendees last year, lots of tents and antennas, plenty of opportunity to get on
the air and operate.  See the club web pages www.otvarc.org and they should
start putting up some details soon.

73 and welcome back!

KM7Q here again.  Yes, you got that right.  I was WV6ADV in 1958, an eighth
grader who got the novice licence via a ham class in JHS.  I became conditional
class WA6ADV in late 58.  I let the license expire in 1968 and was off the air. 
In the late 70s, I returned to tech school to gain employment in a "real job"
after teaching art photography part time.  I decided then to pick up the
licenses again, since I was learning the theory for the comercial license
anyway.  I took the general, advanced, and extra, and got the extra call KM7Q. 
After all of that I STILL did not get on the air.

Now it IS QRP that sparked my interest.  I have an Oak Hills Research OHR 100
for 40 meters, and have it set up at home, and all the gear to head out into the
woods to set up.  IT IS going to be a fun summer !!

I do plan to attend field day.  Thanks for Info.  73s, Bob Out

I, too, am drawn by the concept of operating out on a hilltop somewhere.  I've
had wa-a-a-a-y too many home projects going on since moving here in 2005, but
have been piecing together a portable station.  Slowly.  I emphasize
"s-l-o-w-l-y".

I've picked up a few things to hopefully move myself toward being able to do the
real deal - a portable operation.  I found a used FT-817 a few years ago.  It
came in handy as a test bed for some experiments I was doing for a for-pay
project, so it was actually a tax deduction.  At one of the Rickreall 'fests, I
got one of those nice padded cases by Western Case.  Probably bigger than I
need, but I figured I'd start big and go smaller.  A used Elecraft T2 auto-tuner
came next.  I finally need a set of small paddles and will at first, make do
with a rather heavy sealed lead-acid battery.  I also got some of those
lightweight 31 foot Jackite poles, which I've used for holding up wires in the
yard, just to see how they play.  Definitely flimsy; 28 feet is about all I'd be
willing to use to support wires.

Anyway, one of my big projects finished recently, so perhaps this summer I'll
finally do what I've been saying I'd do, and that is go portable.

After getting acclimated to what bands do what portable, I would then replace
the FT-817 with something that's easier on batteries.  The '817 does a lot, but
it's a battery hog.

One of the local radio clubs does a Field Day with more of a QRP bent than
OTVARC.  Might be the Portland Amateur Radio Club.  I seem to recall "QRP on
Larch Mountain" being the catch-phrase.  OTVARC's Field Day is big...RVs,
trailers, but thankfully light on the generators - we use large 12V lead-acid
batteries with some solar cells and a few of those little quiet Honda 1kW
generators to charge them in rotation.  I really dislike the sound of a
generator, and OTVARC sure hit on a good solution by basically using 12V batts
and having charging available.

Hello - Anyone coming to the meeting tomorrow at West Side, Tigard Location?

I am hoping to learn a bit about the 2010 field day events, what ones are the
biggest in the Portland area, when, where, what.  I have a QRP setup ready to
go, but this will be my first, so the learning curve shall be fun. - Mr Bob KM7Q

Thanks very much, Tom, for posting this.

Well, after missing last month's announcement, and promising to not miss one
again, I fell through again.

I just want to assure you all that I'm still interested in keeping this group
going, and I want to make as many breakfasts as possible.

No excuses; I just need to get the job done!

Thanks for your patience!

Pictures tell a thousand words.

I have uploaded a photo from last year's (2009) Field Day at L.L.Stub Stewart
State Park, put on by the Oregon Tualatin Valley Amateur Radio Club (OTVARC),
running the callsign W7OTV.  Go to the Yahoogroup's "photos" section...there's
only one folder, and one photo in it.  The photo is taken from the south,
looking north.  CW tent on the far left, VHF/UHF tent on the far right, up on
the hill.  Too many antennas in between (part of FD is learning - we learned -
no more single-band HF antennas, they're a waste...they take up lots of space
with little benefit...and no more vertically-polarized antennas for a domestic
operating event).  Note the cluster of people on the right - we have a
socializing tent, which should be imperative for a group effort...allows people
a place to gather and yack, without disturbing the radio operators while the ops
try to make QSOs and train newcomers.

Field Day can be many things.  As an emergency preparedness exercise, it should
show that you (the collective, community "you") know how to quickly erect an
effective communications station.  All exercises have a test, and that's the
contest part of Field Day - did you really put up an *effective* station, using
*effective* operators?  The contest score is only that - your way of showing *to
your own group* that you knew what you were doing and really could do it in an
emergency.  The "operator skill" part of Field Day is taking people who only do
one thing, and getting them to try something else.  Like taking the "I'm not a
contester" guy and getting him to try out computer-sent CW, and going for rate
for a change.  That's what learning is - getting outside of your own comfort
zone.  For me, the learning of FD the past few years has been about operating
SSB - having been a nearly 100% CW op over the years, it was a bit of a leap to
get me sitting in a chair with a microphone, going for rate instead of avoiding
it.

And, FD can also be a major club social event, a picnic, a camp-out, a way of
experimenting with antennas, modes, etc.

In order to be all things, an FD group needs to be large...and OTVARC's most
certainly is.  Last year we had 144 people sign into the guest log, placing us
4th place nationwide.  No other club in the northwest exceeded 50.

That's why we were able to have two digital modes, two CW stations, two SSB
stations (shared with digital in one case), 50/144/432MHz, a fully-staffed 4A
operation and catered food.  Everybody got out of FD what they wanted...unless
what they really wanted was a one-man campout with a bit of radio attached. 
That's fun too, I've done it, and I'll do it again.  But for now, I'm enjoying
going out with a team that's hugely about enhancing the operators' abilities.

This year, I'm told, we'll be adding a satellite station, just to add more to
the mix.

So, there's probably the biggest FD in the area with the most variety.  For
some, it's too much...but it's a good heavy dose of lots of ham radio in one
weekend, if that's what you want.

One of the ham radio clubs does a primarily QRP Field Day, other clubs choose a
site with a great view...you should probably contact each group to ask what
makes their FD special and what they emphasize - points, party, food, or
campout.

No matter which group you choose, if they publicize it on the web, they'll
definitely welcome you.

Is the PARC field day still at Kelly Butte?  I may not be going to the right web
site, and want to find out if that is indeed, the place.  I look forward to
visiting field days about the metro area to take photos and catch up on the
hobby after a 45 year absence from being on the air.

Is the PARC field day still at Kelly Butte? I may not be going to the right web site, and want to find out if that is indeed, the place. I look forward to visiting field days about the metro area to take photos and catch up on the hobby after a 45 year absence from being on the air.

Based on a quick study on the web, I'd say "Yes", they are having FD at Kelly
Butte.

Primary evidence: They submitted a log to the ARRL last year, indicating they
made 292 QSOs in class 4A, running 5watts.  4A and 5 watts coincides with the
latest comments about FD on their website, which were posted about five years
ago, so probably it's the same core group of guys doing what they enjoy year
after year.  And that can make for a very cozy and pleasant FD.

One way to attempt to confirm would be to try to raise one of the members on the
146.84 repeater.

Or, this page on their website gives phone numbers for club contacts you might
ask:

Phil,
You're supposed to let people know that all the members are several degrees off
of plumb! <grin>.

Sharon and I are packing the wagons the end of the month and headed back to
Oregon Territory, Hermiston, that is.
We'll get to meetings in Portland when we can.

it doesn't matter what you enjoy about ham radio! In fact, you don't even need
to be a ham radio operator to join us at breakfast! (We can help you get
started!) Just show up and have a great breakfast with some great company!

FUTURE BREAKFAST MEETINGS AND LOCATIONS

Both east and west side locations are Home Town Buffet (formerly Old Country
Buffet). Plug either of these into Mapquest for good directions:

WEST SIDE: 13500 SW Pacific Highway, Tigard 97213-4804 (Not too far from Ham
Radio Outlet!)

I saw that I didn't change something inside my email which could confuse things.

We'll be at the Tigard Hometown Buffet on the WEST SIDE.

Hope that clears up any possible confusion!

See you there!
