As I mentioned yesterday, Jerry, W4SGA is running a temporary Echolink setup for the 146.700 repeater from his home. The node will be active, for the time being, when Jerry is home and able to keep an eye on things. Once it runs well for an extended period of time it will be active more often. To access it, look for W4SGA-R on Echolink.
Thanks to Jerry as well as Dan, KF4MND, Ryan, AJ4MY, and Guy, K4GTM for their work yesterday in getting things off the ground.

Second USB to Serial Interface and ID Tracker
I picked up a second USB to Serial Interface cable this morning so that I can run more than one DB9 equipped device. I've been switching the first interface back and forth between the scanners and the FT-897D. Now I can leave the first one on the FT-897D to run Ham Radio Deluxe for it and use the second to use ID Tracker and programming software with the 780's, the 796, and the portable scanners.
I blogged about this quite awhile back I think, but it's worth going back over again; ID Tracker is a great little program. You can log and record talkgroups or frequencies from various scanners, assisting in finding and IDing new talkgroups and frequencie. You can get more information on both ID Tracker and ID Tracker II here.

Echolink via 146.700 Repeater
Jerry, W4SGA, Dan, KF4MND, Guy, K4GTM, and Ryan AJ4MY have been working on getting an Echolink node up and running on the 146.700 repeater this afternoon. The equipment is located at Jerry's house; while they've been there working on the equipment I've been here assisting with signal checks, DTMF tests etc.
Earlier this afternoon, the node was successfully linked with Terry, KB5V in Tuscon, AZ. Audio checks went well and DTMF sequences to bring up and drop the link were tested successfully.
Keep an ear out for future activity. If testing goes well and the setup is approved by the Coastal Amateur Radio Society, there could be an active Echolink node in Savannah soon.

East Ship Island QSL Card
Back in October, I worked East Ship Island in Mississippi when the Magnolia DX Association activated it. W5S activated East Ship Island as IOTA NA082, US Island MS009S, and as lighthouse USA-756. Today, the QSL card from K5S arrived in the mail; it is a very nice folding card with photos of the island and operation along with information on the Ship Islands inside:

Echolink
This day after Christmas, I went out and picked up a microphone headset for the computer and installed Echolink on the computer. After making some adjustments to the wireless router, I was able to get the software up and running. I connected to Dan Scott, KF4MND's node to try out and things were working good except for low transmit audio. After a bit, I found a microphone boost setting in the computer's audio settings; after turning it on Dan gave me a good audio report.
The microphone headset I bought is a Plantronics from Staples. I've tried it on the radios just as headphones and it works good as just a headset as well.
For the time being, I'm just running Echolink via the computer. Once I get a soundcard interface for the radio, I'll start running a temporary Echolink node at times. Hopefull that will develop over the next couple of months.

Boar's Nest LFE
Last week, there was a Large Force Exercise (LFE) utilizing Townsend Range and SEALORD's offshore operating areas. Some of the aircraft checking in for the exercise referred to it as "Boar's Nest." Among the participants were F/A-18s from MCAS Beaufort, F-5s from VMFT-401, a B-52 from the 2nd Bomb Wing, a P-3 from VP-45, Joint Terminal Air Controllers (JTACS), and the ground radar units MACS-2 and 117th Air Control Squadron. I didn't get the chance to monitor much except for Tuesday and Wednesday and there were weather issues both days. With air-to-air and air-to-ground combat aspects to the exercise, it made for very interesting monitoring.

More CARS Repeater News
Yesterday brought more news on the Coastal Amateur Radio Society repeaters. First the good news: The new antenna for the 146.700 repeater is up, enhancing it's performance. This was done yesterday after the new antenna for the 442.700 repeater was installed. Now the bad news: the 147.210 repeater is off the air until further notice due to interference issues. It has apparently been contributing toward interference to other signals, so it has been turned off until those issues can be addressed.

442.700 Repeater on the Air With the New Antenna
The new antenna is on the 442.700 repeater. Dan, KF4MND was able to hit it from Long County on 5 watts from his fixed station and I was able to hit it from inside the house here in midtown Savannah with an HT.
This repeater should have an excellent coverage area now that it has a proper antenna up!
Thanks to Lowell, N4ZLJ and his crew for the work out at the tower site. From what Lowell says, the 146.700's new antenna should be up sometime tomorrow.

Shack Reorganization
Yesterday, I reoganized the radio shack/monitoring post in an effort to clean things up a bit and fit in some new computer equipment. I bought a newer computer to run Ham Radio Deluxe and other radio related software more efficiently that how the old computer was. Everything is now working not only correctly but more quickly, helping me enjoy my radio time more.
For scanning and monitoring, there is a PRO-2005 for VHF/UHF conventional monitoring and BC796D for monitoring trunked and digital systems. For aviation and military monitoring, there is a BC895XLT for air traffic control and related frequencies, 2 BC780XLTs for military aviation frequencies (one for unit frequencies and another for operating area frequencies) and a PRO-2006 for low band FM. The two BC780XLTs and the PRO-2006 are stacked next to the LCD Monitor. Underneath the LCD monitor, from left to right are the PRO-2005, the BC796D, and the BC895XLT.
For amateur radio, there is a Yaesu FT-28oo (top) for 2 meter FM a Yaesu FT-897D (bottom)for HF/VHF/UHF multi-mode operation. I use a G5RV for an HF antenna, so the FT-897D has an LDG AT-897 tuner attached. The FT-897D also doubles as a general coverage reciever for utility and SWL monitoring. I utilize Ham Radio Deluxe for logging and occasional control of the FT-897D.Mac McCormick III, KF4LMT

6 Meter Sporadic E
Last night after the Southeast GA 6 Meter Ragchew Net, I caught the tail end of some 6 Meter E-skip. 6 Meters was open into the northeast US, Ontario, and Quebec; I worked VE3EN in Ontario and VE2XK in Quebec.
Michel, VE2XK mentioned that there had been a winter storm in his area yesterday morning with a lot of wind and ice that had knocked power out. It seems that his quad survived just fine as he worked several stations down here in the southeast!

Problems with Ham Radio Deluxe and QRZ 2.0
There wasn't much on the scanners today with the poor weather conditions, there just wasn't much military activity to be heard. Given the lack of milcom activity, I hooked up the FT-897 and decided to play around with HF for a bit.
While logging the net stations and dx stations I worked, I found that Ham Radio Deluxe would not get the station information from the QRZ website. I went to QRZ and discovered that they have switched to their new QRZ 2.0 format. Apparently with this format, Ham Radio Deluxe is unable to access the station information. Hopefully, HRD will soon release an update to remedy the situation.

VMFT-401 "SNIPERS" at MCAS Beaufort
VMFT-401 F-5s arrived at MCAS Beaufort yesterday afternoon and worked with various F/A-18 flights from Beaufort this afternoon using their usual callsign SNIPER.
Air-to-air frequencies were 268.300, 300.550, and 313.850. Common frequencies for the air combat training with the F/A-18s was the W-157 Discrete 385.300 (376.900 and 349.800 may be used as well).

3-17 Cav OH-58s at Hunter AAF
Earlier this year, the 3rd Infantry Division and the 10th Mountain Division swapped helicopter units. The 3rd ID swapped 3-3 AVN, now 1-10 AVN (AH-64D) for 10th Mountain's 3-17 Cav (OH-58D).
Last week, I began hearing 3-17 Cav's OH-58Ds flying in the Hunter AAF and Fort Stewart area. They have been using LIGHTHORSE ### and ARMY ##### callsigns with Hunter AAF and Marne Radio at Fort Stewart. The callsigns used so far equate to the following tail numbers:
Thanks to a local spotter for help with 93-0955 and 93-0958.
The OH-58Ds have been arranging for fuel with 2-3 AVN Ops on 54.600. Air-to-air traffic has been heard on 51.375.

Pearl Harbor Day
I usually attend the Fleet Reserve Association Pearl Harbor Day ceremony at the 8th Air Force Museum each Pearl Harbor Day but this year I had to work. This being my first Pearl Harbor Day with HF priveleges, I honored the day by working some of the memorial amateur radio HF special event stations on the air:
W5KID - USS Kidd Pearl Harbor Special Event
W0VFW - VFW Post 3115, Wichita, KS
NB5EQ - USS Altair Memorial Assn. Special Event
There were other special event stations on the air for Pearl Harbor Day, including several other ship stations but unfortunately many were just coming on the air as I had to get ready for work.

Life Star News
Back on 14 September 2008, I posted about hearing Life Star work through a different dispatch center on the weekends. I recently confirmed that they are no longer dispatched by "Life Star Base" through Med Star Dispatch. They are being dispatched by OmniFlight, their parent company. They are still using 426.975, seemingly through a Motobridge to OmniFlight's east Communications Center in Kennesaw, GA. The callsign for dispatch is simply "RADIO." There is still traffic on frequency between Life Star and Memorial ER.
Additionally, if anyone is interested in what the OCC number is that Life Star needs for each mission, OmniFlight's website has a link about their Operations Control Center.
Effingham County is attempting to land Life Star's base from it's current location at Savannah International Airport. From the Effingham Herald on 10 November 2008:
The LifeStar air ambulance still isn’t cleared for landing at a new home in Effingham County.
County commissioners tabled a lease agreement with OmniFlight Helicopters, the Addison, Texas-based company that operates the LifeStar service, last Tuesday. Commissioners are expected to revisit the issue Nov. 18, but some are getting antsy that the delay may mean Effingham will lose out on landing the service.

Bulldog MOA Changes - Shaw AFB and Augusta Regional Airport Compromise
The Augusta Chronicle featured an article on the Bulldog MOA that Shaw AFB, McEntire JNGB, and other services use on November 29, 2008. Augusta Regional Airport and the Air Force have come to a compromise on airspace changes, but Swainsboro-Emanuel County Airport is still resisting those changes. Below is an excerpt from the article, you can read the entire article here.
Mac McCormick III, KF4LMT
kf4lmt@comcast.net
MILITARY AIRCRAFT TRAINING PLAN
THE PROPOSAL: Shaw Air Force Base has proposed expanding military aircraft training operations into air space used by facilities in Augusta, Swainsboro and Millen.
THE IMPACT: Military aircraft would be allowed to fly at an altitude of 500 feet, a drop from 11,000 feet in some areas.
THE DEAL: Augusta Regional Airport officials negotiated to have the path changed; Augusta will not be affected by any changes.
THE CRITICISM: An official from the Swainsboro Emanuel County Airport says civilian aircraft planning to land at the facility would face delays that could hurt area commerce. The Federal Aviation Administration is reviewing the request to exclude Swainsboro Emanuel County's airspace.

P-3 Units to Relocate from NAS Brunswick to NAS Jacksonville
I noted the following USN P-3 unit relocations in an email from the NAMAR e-mail group last week. It looks like there will be increased P-3 activity off of the GA/FL coast beginning in mid 2009.
- VP-10 will relocate from NAS Brunswick to NAS Jacksonville on 1 June 2009. However, it will belong to Commander Patrol Reconnaissance Wing 5(CPRW-5) until 1 Dec 2009, at which time it will belong to CPRW-11.
- VP-8 will relocate from NAS Brunswick to NAS Jacksonville on 1 June 2009 and switch from CPRW-5 to CPRW-11.
- VPU-1 will relocate from NAS Brunswick to NAS Jacksonville on 1 July 2009 and switch from CPRW-5 to CPRW-11.
There was also a movement listed away from NAS Jacksonville. One of the USN H-60 units will be moving and changing aircraft type:
- HS-3 will be redesignated HSC-9 on 1 June 2009 and switch from theSH-60F/HH-60H to the MH-60S helicopter. The squadron will relocate fromNAS Jacksonville to NS Norfolk.
