As I mentioned in my previous post, 6-Meters was not very cooperative during Field Day this year. Last year at the ARCS Field Day, we worked over 100 stations on 6-Meters on Sunday Morning, including approximately 70 in an hour. This year was just about the polar opposite.
Last evening, while catching up on email from the weekend and generally just recovering from Field Day, a friend from Florida mentioned in an IM that he was getting some possible low band DX from Canada. That was about the only thing radio related that could have piqued my interest at the time, so I hooked up the triband vertical and fired up the FT-897D. Sure enough, now that Field Day was over, 6-Meters was open. What else could you expect! During a QSO with Mike, WD8OST I found that we weren't the only ones to have no luck on 6 during Field Day; apparently not very many others did either.
The opening last night was a pretty good to the north. Prior to calling the CARS Sunday Night Net, I worked the following stations:
VE2RA - Quebec
VE1GBD - Nova Scotia
K2LTS - New York
N8OC - Michigan
WD8OST - Michigan
W0VB - Minnesota
VE2NRG - Quebec

Field Day 2009
This year, I operated Field Day from the Coastal Amateur Radio Society Field Day and from home. I intended to operate from the Amateur Radio Club of Savannah Field Day, but never got around to operating after I got there. I talked with one of my "elmers," Ed Woodson, NC5S who I hadn't seen in probably a year and Stacy Aaron, WA4IDS for a couple of hours.
Unfortunately, 6 Meters didn't open up very much or very well while I was at the radios during Field Day. HF propagation didn't seem to be all that good either.
At CARS, I operated some some 20-Meters and 40-Meters during the "Midnight Shift" but mostly worked some 15-Meters Saturday afternoon. On both bands, most of the propagation seemed to favor the northeast, although I did work a few stations in Texas and Louisiana on 15 Meters.
For the first time (mostly because this is the first Field Day I've had HF privileges) I worked Field Day from home as a 1E station. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I missed the beginning of field day this year and wasn't able to start until late afternoon. A couple of hours before going over to the CARS Field Day was my 1E operating time. 6-Meter and 80-Meter propagation was very poor at the time with no contacts on either band. 10-Meters was also poor, but I did make one contact on that band. 20, 40, and 15-Meters were decent and most of my contacts were made there:
10-Meters
W1UR - 2A NH
20-Meters
K5ENS - 1D LA
W4AVA - 3A VA
W3AO - 20A MDC (National Press Radio Club)
W2EA - 6A SNJ
KB8UHN - 1E OH
K1R - 5A NH
WA3COM - 4A PA
15-Meters
KW2O - 2A NLI
K1BKE - 4A NH
W1AW - 3F CT (ARRL HQ Station)
W1TJL - 1E CT
VE3WE - 8A ON
40-Meters
W6SAI - 1E AL
W4TRC - 2A TN
K4F - 2A NFL
W4V - 3D AL
W4UD - 3A TN
KJ4LEL - 2D AL

Bryan County TRS Frequencies
Yesterday, I noticed that someone had submitted talkgroup information to Radio Reference on the Bryan County TRS. Unfortunately, I cannot hear this system very well at home, so I don't have much info on it yet; that someone else is monitoring the system and sending in updates is wonderful. One thing, however, that I didn't see in the Radio Reference Database Entry was frequency information other than the 851.1125 control channel.
This morning I went to a location where I could hear the system well and heard 3 of the 4 submitted talkgroups and made a list of the frequencies I heard in use:
851.1125 - Control Channel (9600 baud)
852.375
852.625
853.1375
Note: for those that want to monitor this system, you need a newer trunktracking scanner that does both digital voice and can track a 9600 baud control channel. Older analog only trunktracking scanners will not work with this system.

Tronox Titanium Tetrachloride Leak
http://www.wtoc.com/Global/story.asp?S=10592265
This is a WTOC story on the HazMat Incident I sent a Twitter update out about late last night. Numerous Savannah Fire units responded and they used Fireground 1 (TG 36976) and Fireground 3 (TG 37040). CEMA units also responded using TG 12496, which was a digital talkgroup.
Apparently, Savannah Fire's boat, MARINE 1, does not monitor Marine VHF while on the river. During the incident, a ship passed through the vapor cloud and was trying to contact the "small boat with red emergency lights" on Marine VHF Ch. 16 and Ch. 13 with no apparent answer. It is surprising that MARINE 1 would not be monitoring at least one of those channels.

Current LifeStar One Helicopter
I posted about LifeStar using N350GR back on 09 June. While out and about today, I dropped by the airport and took a photo of it. I'm still not sure if this is a temporary use aircraft or if N117LS is gone. All I do know is that they have been using this AS-350 for the last month or so.
It has also been intersting to note that a good bit of radio maintenance and radio testing has been going while they've been using N350GR.

Loggerhead Turtle Research Communications
Most nights lately, the Savannah NWR Complex Skidaway Repeater on 172.450 (P25 Digital) has been active with loggerhead turtle researchers working on Wassaw Island at the Wassaw Island NWR. You can hear them passing turtle counts, turtle movements, and information about nests.

Arrow Antennas GP52
Last week, I ordered an Arrow Antennas GP52 6-Meter 1/4 Wave Groundplane antenna. It is a well built antenna; unlike many 1/4 wave groundplanes, it is not made from narrow gauge material or tubing. The vertical element is made out of solid 3/8" aluminum rod and the groundplanes are made from solid 1/4" wave aluminum rod. It is also a great deal, only $55.00 at $39.00 for the antenna and $15.00 for shipping.
This evening Guy, K4GTM came by with his MFJ antenna analyzer and we checked it out. It has an SWR of 1:1 at the center of the 6-Meter band and 1.5:1 at the edges of the band. Out of pure curiosity, I asked Guy to check it on the 2-Meter band. at 146 MHz and 147 MHz, it has an SWR of around 2:1. With a 2:1 SWR, that means it could also double as a 2-Meter antenna.
I bought it to have a 6-Meter field antenna, good for special event stations, field days, mini field days, etc. It should be a fine antenna for such use because of it's durability and ease of assembly. The fact that it can also double as a 2-Meter antenna makes it even better for a field antenna - it can be dual use.

Field Day - Over 35,000 radio "hams" active June 27-28
ARRL National News Release
Thousands of Amateur Radio operators, often called “hams,” will be showing off their wireless capabilities June 27-28. Erecting radio stations in community parks, campgrounds, schools and emergency centers throughout the country, they will hold a “Field Day” and show their emergency communications abilities while having fun talking to friends all over the continent with their radios.
Over the past months, the news has been full of reports of ham radio operators providing critical communications in emergencies world-wide. During fires, hurricanes, tornados and other crises, Amateur Radio was often the only way by which people could communicate. Amateur Radio operators are often the first to provide information and observations to responders in crisis situations. FEMA, DHS, the National Weather Service, and emergency management offices have the Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES®) operators in their emergency communications plans. On June 27-28, the public will have a chance to meet and talk with the hams and see for themselves what the Amateur Radio Service is about as they display their digital and satellite capabilities, voice communications, wireless, radio and Web hybrid systems, and even historic Morse code.
To find out where the Amateur Radio operators will be set up in your area, go to www.ARRL.org/fieldday.
The event, called "Field Day" is the climax of "Amateur Radio Week" sponsored by ARRL, the National Association for Amateur Radio. Using only emergency power, ham operators will construct temporary stations around the country for the weekend and send messages in many forms without the use of phone systems, internet or other infrastructure that can be compromised in a crisis. More than 35,000 amateur radio operators across the country participated in last year's event.
Amateur Radio is growing in the United States. In just the past 4 years over 100,000 new people earned their first Amateur Radio Service license from the FCC.
Almost 50% of US Amateur Radio operators have now gone far beyond the entry level licensing requirements for Amateur Radio and earned higher class FCC licenses.
There are more than 660,000 Amateur Radio operators in the US, and 2.5 million around the world.
To learn more about Amateur Radio, go to www.WeDoThat-Radio.org. The public is most cordially invited to come, meet and talk with the hams. See what modern Amateur Radio can do. They can even help you get on the air!
I'll be operating Field Day from the Coastal Amateur Radio Society Field Day using callsign K4S and from the Amateur Radio Club of Savannah Field Day using callsign W4HBB, mostly during the "midnight shift." I also plan on doing some Field Day operations from home this year using my callsign: KF4LMT.

ScanSavannah and W4LHS Yahoo Groups
The ScanSavannah and W4LHS Yahoo Groups have disappeared. For some as yet unknown reason, Yahoo deactivated my Yahoo Identity. When they did, both of the groups disappeared because I was the group owner. I have an email in to Yahoo Customer Service; last night I received an automated reply that told me that I would receive an answer within 48 hours.
I apologize to the members of ScanSavannah and to the members of the Coastal Amateur Radio Society for any problems or inconvenience this may have caused. Hopefully when the situation is resolved, both groups can be recovered.

QSL Card From My First HF DX Contact
Yesterday I came home to find a QSL card waiting for me in the mail. I opened it up and found two cards: one from CU2A and one from CU2X. CU2A was my first HF DX Contact after I upgraded to General Class last October. CU2X is at the same location; I worked it during one of the contests.

6 Meter E's
My radio plans for tonight were to do some military aviation monitoring, but a 6 Meter E-Skip opening changed things. Throughout the day I checked 6 Meters to see if it was open but each time I found nothing. After dinner, I decided to make one last check and I'm glad I did. 6 Meters was wide open into the north and northeast and it made for a productive radio evening. Taking advantage of the conditions, I worked 19 stations over a 3 hour period, several of which required patience because it took awhile to get through the pileups. Throughout the evening I worked stations in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Ontario, Canada as well as stations in Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. I also picked up some new grids: EN82, EN83, FN11, FN54, FN66, and FN74.
About 20 minutes after turning on the radios this evening I worked Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. My contact with VE9SIX was my first 6 Meter contact in New Brunswick on 6 Meters although I have worked New Brunswick before on 20 Meters.
After numerous attempts, I finally worked KB3RHR/W1 working portable in Cape Naddick, Maine. Craig had quite the pileup and it took me a long time and a lot of patience to get through.
Similarly, it took me quite awhile to get through the pileup that K1RQG, Joe in Bucksport, Maine had going. Joe is in EN54 and that was a new grid for me, I kept on trying an patience finally paid off; now all I have to do is send off a card.
Another good contact was G6DHU/W1 in Buxton, Maine. I didn't realize it until after I ran his call through QRZ after the QSO, but it was Mike Chace-Oritz, the well known utility monitoring expert. I wish I would have known it at the time!
At the end of the evening, I was hearing N7JW in Utah on 50.139 USB. Utah on 6! I'd never heard that far west on 6 before. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make a contact despite numerous attempts, I had him at 51 at best and he was giving reports of 58-59 to the stations he was working.
Nevertheless, it was a great evening on 6 Meters and I truly had a lot of fun on the radio tonight. It never ceases to amaze me that you can work DX with 100 watts or less and an antenna not very much longer than your arm span. I'm looking forward to a great 6 Meter E-Skip season on 6 Meters.

Already a Change in the Bryan County TRS
I found an interesting change in the Bryan County TRS this morning. I've not heard anything on 866.1125 the last couple of days, so I ran a search and came across a 9600 baud control channel on 851.1125. Lo and behold, it has the same System ID that was coming across on 866.1125. I even heard one of the TGs (5008) that I was hearing off of 866.1125.
Running a search on 851.1125, I found that it is licensed to Nextel (expires in 2010):

Blog Experimentation
I'm going to try something new with the blog over the next few months. I've started a Twitter account and have linked it to the blog. Whenever I'm monitoring an event, I catch a good 6-Meter E-skip opening, or something of that nature I'm going to try to remember to do some Twitter updates on it. The updates will also pop up here along the left side of the blog.

6 Meter E's
I've been enjoying a morning on the radios as there has been a 6 Meter E-Skip opening today. I've been working the occaisonal station on 6 Meters since shortly after 0800 local this morning. For me, the band has mostly been open into the midwest: IA, IL, IN, MO, and WI. I also worked a station in MS as well as working Ryan, AJ4MY and KS4K, Dennis both mobile here in Savannah. I also heard several stations working Larry, N5FPW, but I couldn't hear him - maybe one day our signals will cross!
Maybe this is an indicator of good conditions to come for the June VHF QSO Party this weekend.

Helping Get the KJ4GGV D-Star Gateway Back on the Air
Yesterday afternoon, I went to the WVAN tower in Pembroke with Bob, KI4YRY, Larry, W4RA, and Guy, K4GTM as they were trying to get the KJ4GGV D-Star repeater Gateway working.
After Guy worked on the router configuration, he found out that for reason still unknown his mobile D-Star radio would not power up. Unable to resolve the power issue, we decided to try testing the configuration with my IC-91AD. I've never worked through a gateway before and I've not done much D-Star work because I'm not within portable range of the repeater so I wasn't quite sure how to configure the D-Star settings. Bob got John Davis, WB4QDX on the phone and he walked me through how to set up the 91AD for the gateway. Once all was programmed, we gave it a try and things worked just fine.
Now that I understand the gateway configuration and how it works, I've programmed it into the IC-91AD. I also found out that I need to register my callsign with the D-Star network; I began the registration process last night after getting home from the ARCS Meeting.

LifeStar Using N350GR
LifeStar is currently using a different aircraft than their usual BK-117 N117LS. Recently, they've been using AS-350 N350GR instead. I'm not sure if N117LS in maintenance and they've been assigned N350GR or if the change is permanent. N350GR is registered to Ominflight, LifeStar's parent company. If I had to wager, I'd say it is probably a temporary assignment while N117LS is in maintenance, this does happen occasionally.

Navy H-60 Emergency Landing
This morning, a flight of three Navy H-60s landed at Hunter AAF, one of them landing with an emergency. Due to the callsign used, I'm not sure which unit they were from or what type of H-60. NAVY 613 and flight landed with one of the aircraft flying very low and slow (tower advised Crash/Fire units that it was only flying at 70 kts). As the emergency aircraft approached, the other aircraft in the flight stayed high and above to handle radio communications. The entire flight landed without incident and taxied to Base Ops with Crash/Fire units following the emergency aircraft in.
I monitored the incident on 124.975, Hunter AAF Tower and the Fort Stewart/Hunter AAF TRS talkgroup 3504, Hunter Crash/Fire.

Netbook Added to the Radio Arsenal
A couple of weeks ago, I bought an Acer Aspire One netbook that I found on sale. It has become my "radio" computer; I'm using it for programming radios and computer controlling the FT-897D.This has made it much easier to program the mobile radios. I no longer have to remove the radios from the car and bring them to the computer; I take the computer to them. I'm using the ARC software for the BC780, BC396, and BC996. The netbook doesn't have CD drive and I don't have an external drive to use with it yet, so I downloaded some software I found online here for the FT-8800 (so far it seems to work just as good as the Yaesu software).
Ham Radio Deluxe is actually working better on the netbook than on my desktop computer. After about 20 minutes or so running on the desktop, HRD crashes and requires a reboot. So far, I've had no such problems with the netbook. As a result, it is what I'm using full time with the FT-897.
Using the netbook instead of the desktop has several benefits. It allows me to log with the same program and same log file regardless of whether I'm at home or in the field. Later this year I'll begin working out of the Brunswick area and I intend to take the HF rig with me when I'm not here in Savannah; the netbook will let me use HRD and continue computer logging when not at home.
