AFFILIATED CLUBS COORDINATOR REPORT..

Field Day is a Club Event!
Last month I wrote about how field day was my very favorite amateur radio club event. Well, that is absolutely a true statement! I am the field day coordinator for the Delaware Amateur Radio Association aka DELARA, K8ES in Delaware County. I’ve held this position since 2006 with a 2 year hiatus in 2009/2010. DELARA has become a terrific field day group and continually ranks in the top three (3) in the 4-Alpha category. You can operate field day solo or as a duo, small team or as a group. However you do it, it is a great time. I would encourage all of our clubs to have a club field day in a public location and invite everybody to come and watch their local amateur radio operators in action. You would be surprised at how many families, new hams, first responders, jurisdiction officials, scout troops and others will come to see what amateur radio is all about.Field Day is an exercise in emergency communication preparedness. Local amateur radio operators will be at a field location, setting up equipment which may consists of radios, antennas, cables, generators, solar panels and anything necessary to generate enough power to run the stations on. The purpose of this exercise is to test the endurance of a club, and in the case of a disaster (natural, terrorist or other) where we are without the normal forms of communications; to still be able to communicate our needs with others. It is also an opportunity for your club to ‘show off’ and do what we do best as amateur radio operators.
I would like to share a few tips to help your field day be a successful field day: • Work as a Team - Consider incorporating your club picnic into field day which brings families, friends, other hams, and partner agencies such as EMA, law and fire to visit the sight.
Send out invites, have everyone bring a dish to pass. You will be surprised what having families and friends show up can do for the event. But NEVER leave your stations unattended, no matter how good Aunt Fanny’s potato salad is! Those few missed points can cost you! Trust me on that one….. (Ask me about that when you see me!) Find something for everyone to do, whether it me club photographers, welcome committee, tour guides, or food and water delivery to the stations. Not everyone wants to operate, they may just want to be a part of the excitement, and that is great!
• Education – also a bonus point! Add a little education to your field day, maybe show off an antenna launcher, or give a demonstration on Morse code, even a display board with QSL cards can be interesting. Find something to show visitors what amateur radio is all about, tell them why we do this, and show them how much they can achieve from being part of a great hobby.• Media/Community awareness – When I mentioned about sending out invites, this is what I am talking about. Let the public know the Who, What, Where, When, and Why of field day, and amateur radio for that matter! Create a media release (if you need help creating one, let me know), and send it off to all the local media sources. Then create a flyer that can be sent to the local schools, scout troops, or pinned-up on bulletin boards throughout the community. We want to get the word out, and show our community how this is a hobby that can save lives.
There is something for everyone at field day. If your club doesn't participate in field day, go to the ARRL website and look up a field day site near you. If you have any questions about field day or other club events, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
73, and let me know how YOUR field day works out!

SOUTHWEST OHIO HAPPENINGS..
From: Kitty Hevener, W8TDA - Assistant Section Manager (SW)
w8tda@arrl.net
HCPH DOC EXERCISEBrian Hoffman, KC8EGV, reports that the Hamilton County Health Department, along with Hamilton County ARES, conducted a Department Operations Center (DOC) exercise. The goals of this April 16 drill were to test the skills of the staff in the DOC along with the radio operators capabilities in the event of a Point Of Dispense (POD) activation. Injects were created by the emergency preparedness team for the hams to call into the net control station (NCS) at the DOC. Once received, the traffic was passed to the DOC staff for a response.
Hamilton County Public Health Department was very satisfied with the performance of the ARES members and their professionalism. Proving once again the value of amateur radio to a served agency.
PUBLIC SERVICE
Mike, KC8GLE reports that five Dayton area hams provided communications for the March of Dimes "March for Babies" walk. Approximately 2500 to 3000 walkers participated in this event. The walk was held on April 26 at the University of Dayton River Campus.
On that same day, Montgomery County ARES provided communication support for the Dayton Autism Society 5K Run/Walk held in Moraine.
Mike, KC8GLE, reports that 18 hams provided communication support for the Calvin’s challenge 12 hour bike race held on May 3. The 50 mile course went through Clark, Greene, and Madison counties. The bikers had to contend with strong winds. Fortunately, no major injuries were reported. Hams in the greater Cincinnati area provided communication support for several “flying Pig” events on May 2-4. These included a “Little King” 1 mile run on Friday evening, 10 and 5 K races on Saturday morning, and the full and half marathons on Sunday. News reports indicate that approximately 36,000 runners participated in the marathon, making it the biggest “pig” ever to hit the streets of Cincinnati. Fortunately, no major injuries were reported.
PLAY BY THE RULES
Throughout communications for the “flying Pig” marathon, I heard numerous unidentified transmissions. Perhaps, like these hams, you are only using your assigned tactical call during public service and/or emergency communications. To refresh your memory, Section 97.119(a) says that each amateur station, except a space station or telecommand station, must transmit its assigned call sign on its transmitting channel at the end of each communication, and at least every 10 minutes during a communication, for the purpose of clearly making the source of the transmissions from the station known to those receiving the transmissions. No station may transmit unidentified communications or signals, or transmit as the station call sign, any call sign not authorized to the station. Tactical call signs do not substitute for the FCC-assigned call. Page 156 of the ARRL Public Service Handbook covers this topic in greater detail.
HAMFESTS
The Milford hamfest will be held on June 21. I’ll be there and hope you will too. What better place to exchange your treasures from Dayton for different ones! For more information, visit www.w8mrc.com

NOTES FROM THE TECHNICAL COORDINATOR..
By: Jim Yoder W8ERW - TC
w8erw@arrl.net
Dayton is here. I’ve been busy packing and getting ready for the greatest Amateur Radio event of the year. Mark WD8KQX and plan on arriving late Thursday afternoon and anticipate a really great Hamvention this year. The ARRL Centennial official date is Sunday and the League will be there this year to celebrate in style. Hamvention 2014 promises to be a spectacular event this year.Field Day is also right around the corner and local groups all over Ohio are making their plans to participate. Here in Seneca County, The ARES Group will again team up with the Seneca Radio Club for Field Day just South of Tiffin where we will set up at the Chaplains Corps facility near State Route 100 at 3484 Infirmary Road. Jeff WB8REI has been working on a Broadband Hamnet Mesh network to support our logging this year and has the application up and running. We will deploy several MESH nodes using Linksys WRT54GL routers flashed with the latest MESH Firmware. Each logging station will be provided with a Router and connected laptop running the N3FJP Field Day logging program. Jeff and I will be testing our setup between now and Field day and anticipate some additional features including video links and messaging to run on the MESH network. Thanks Jeff for your efforts to bring this technology forward for us this year.
The latest Broadband Hamnet firmware (formerly HSMM-MESH) is V1.0 and is available on their website, http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/. Several Routers from Linksys and now Ubiquity are capable of supporting this firmware and you will find lots of useful information on the website to assist you if you choose to work with this very functional implementation of IP networking. The site has an active forum where all sorts of information is being discussed relative to the hardware, firmware and applications being developed and deployed by Hams all over the world.
The Mesh network, once the routers are flashed with the latest firmware, will automatically initiate the Mesh without additional setup or configuration. Access to the WWW is also quick and easy with one of the Mesh routers connecting to an existing internet access point and checking the gateway option in the router setup. Port forwarding is also available for those applications that require it. Once you are set up, each Mesh router becomes an access point for users or applications, servers and additional network hardware. All of the 4 wired ports at each Mesh node are available for connection. The MESH uses the wireless side of the router to form the Mesh network and wireless connections are not directly available. This provides a good level of security by allowing connections to the network only on the wired side at each Mesh node/router. Wireless connections can be established by connecting a wireless access point(s) to one or more of the wired ports at any of the nodes.
Administration of the Broadband Hamnet MESH is simple from any of the nodes. Access to each node is provided as well as setup and control functions. Nodes are identified by call sign and additional designators. Our implementation assigns W8ERW-1, 2, 3 etc. to each node for identification. The Mesh automatically assigns additional features including routing tables, IP assignments, DNS and DHCP services. The Mesh is established as a peer to peer network with One SSID used throughout, (BroadbandHamnet-v1). Broadband Hamnet is an IP network and is totally transparent allowing anything normally provided over an IP network to operate with minimal if any additional configuration. The network is self healing and each of the nodes establishes routing by the best available path between all other nodes.
I hope to see you all at Dayton this year. Please take a moment to stop by the Ohio Section booth in the ARRL exhibit area. Several of your section leadership team will be there to answer any of your questions and of course, have a good eyeball QSO with you.
73, Jim, W8ERW

FROM THE SECTION TRAFFIC MANAGER..
By: David Maynard, WA3EZN - STM
wa3ezn@att.net
Let’s talk more about Pactor and NTS Digital DISCLAIMER: In this article I am talking exclusively about how to set up a Digital Relay Station using a modem and not the general use of Pactor by individual ham radio stations.Last month I told about the NTSD system and what it is and what it is used for. I tried to explain the difference between the different levels of Pactor, the program that is used in conjunction with Airmail to send and received NTSD radiograms to and from the MBO.
I would imagine there are ham radio operators who think that they can not afford NTSD operation because they think the equipment is excessively expensive or too complicated to set up and enjoy. This may be true of the top of the line expensive Pactor modems that can do Pactor II and Pactor III but it does not have to be true to operate Pactor I. Some older TNCs can be set up very inexpensively to operate Pactor I and used to access the MBOs to send and receive radiogram traffic.
The Modem
Those who want to try Pactor I without a lot expense may be able to find a Pactor I TNC (modem) in Amateur Radio classifieds, on Ebay, QRZ, Craig’s List or at a hamfest. I know one such modem is the Kam-plus which works HF and VHF Pactor I plus Packet. The AEA PK232MBX can be upgraded to work Pactor I also but it required a change of the chip set to work Pactor if it has not already been upgraded. There may be other such modems that can be used.
The Computer
A computer will be needed and this can be a problem, or is it? You will not need the latest and greatest computer to control the modem and work Pactor. There are many older computers that will work well with the modem. These older computers can use Windows programs from Windows 95 thru Vista. There is even a Linux program that can be used. I have actually loaded the Airmail program into an old Dell Latitude Laptop with one of these old Windows program to connect through the modem and download radiogram from the MBO. The cost of the laptop was $5. If you check around I am sure you to can find an expensive computer to dedicate to Pactor or any other digital program use.
The Station Layout
Add an HF rig to the modem and computer setup and you have a Digital/Pactor station. The setup of the HF rig will depend on which radio model you own.
Getting the Airmail Software
Like I have already mentioned Airmail software is utilized for NTSD. Airmail version 3.4 is a single installation file that includes everything needed. The download page for the ham version of the Airmail program is http://siriuscyber.net/ham. I have been advised by those in the know that this is the best version to use for ham radio and works fine with all versions of Windows mentioned above. I would suggest that you download the software to a CD or thumb drive and then copy onto your computer. This will give you a clean copy to refer back to if you have problems in the future. The program is self extracting and has a setup program to get you started.
In Summary
I was pleased with how easy it was to setup the Airmail program for NTSD. Once the equipment was secured and setup it was a simple matter to connect via HF to the MBO and send and receive radiograms. The Airmail program works automatically for appointed Digital Relay Station to receive radiograms after connection with the MBO. I am even able to do keyboard to keyboard contacts using the Airmail program and Pactor. There is a lot of information on the internet to help one get started.
Here are some useful links to save you search time:

FROM THE EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH - SCOUTING ASM..
By: Scott Hixon, KC8ITN - ASM - Educational Outreach- Scouting
kc8itn@arrl.net
Ohio Radio Scouting ( "OHradioscouting" on Twitter) is for all scouts! This includes Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Brownies, along with Boy Scouts.Being appointed to the position of Assistant Section Manager- Scouting, within the Educational Outreach Program for the Ohio Section one year ago, the plan was to take the first year and get it "off the ground" with boy Scouts. The reason I started it off with Boy Scouts was simple; I have been involved with Boy Scouts since my oldest son Nicholas, KD8QLS, was a Tiger Cub in Cub Scouts. That was nine years ago and Nicholas is now a Star Scout and my youngest son Tyler is currently a First Class Scout with troop 5055 in Circleville, Ohio.
Now, with the first year of the ASM-Scouting position behind me, it's time to take the next step; involving Girl Scouts of America from the Ohio Section in Ohio radio scouting.
My daughter Nicole, KD8GEX, was in a Brownie Troop back in the late 1990's and she had a lot of fun with Girl Scouts. It was really a good program. At the time I never thought to introduce the troop to amateur radio and put on a demonstration. Looking back, I wish I would have brought ham radio along to some of the girl scout events like I do now with Boy Scouts.
If you have a family member or friend involved with Girl Scouts, you should consider offering your ham radio "services" to them. It could be as simple as supplying them with some ham radio brochures while putting on a radio demonstration at a meeting, or as involved as setting up some equipment at a Girl Scout camp. How involved you get is completely up to you. Any involvement is better than NO involvement!! Let them see how fun our hobby can be!
Thunder Base update: The amateur radio building at Thunder Base was a HUGE success!! The building was full of scouts all day. We had six different radio groups ( ham clubs and ARES ) demonstrating HF voice, Morse code, ATV, FLDIGI, PSK-31 VHF, and satellite. You would not believe all the scouts that were " hamming " it up in front of the ATV camera! We also had scouts that went thru the class and earned their Radio Merit Badge. We gave the scouts a chance to earn their " Morse Code Interpreter Strip" and some scouts took their amateur radio license test at the two VE sessions. I don't know what the success rate was, but I did see some smiles and hand shaking going on!
I would like to thank all the volunteers that helped out at Thunder Base ( close to 30 in all ) and a BIG thanks to Clyde Morrow, KE8DQ, for leading the group and giving all of us his vision of what we needed to make the radio part of Thunder Base a success. He made sure we all stayed in contact with each other so we could bounce ideas off one another, from the very first planning meeting in October 2013. I would also like to thank the ARRL for providing us with plenty of brochures and flyers to hand out to the scouts. That way they had something to take home with them to remind them about amateur radio.
That's all for this month. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me!
Remember: Take care, stay safe, and make a difference in someone's life !!

LET'S TALK..
From: Scott Yonally, N8SY - Section Manager
n8sy@arrl.org
Hi Everyone, Dayton has now come and gone. Wow, what a weekend it was. Did you come by and visit with the Ohio Section Cabinet? Most all of the Cabinet was there at one point or the other. And, from what I've been told, everybody had a blast being there. If you missed Dayton you really missed out on a fantastic hamfest, and great fellowship!!
Ok, enough of that.. Now on to the business at hand..
Nick Pittner, K8NAP did a fantastic job with the really impromptu "Amateur Radio and the Law" http://arrl-ohio.org/prb-1.html forum. This was one that he and I had worked on to get and right until the eleventh hour, it looked like it wasn't going to happen, but, miracles do happen to those that have patience and wait, and sure enough, we did get the forum back into the schedule, and we did have a lot of interested folks there. We now have a website devoted to Ohio’s PRB-1 Law, please visit it. You can find it at:
Nick also got a signed Proclamation from the Governor and Lieutenant Governor for Field Day recently. The proclamation, along with a printable version is posted on the Ohio Section website.
Please be sure if you are holding a Field Day operation to print this off and have it posted for all to see. You can find it at: http://arrl-ohio.org/SGL/sgl.html
The Ohio Section promotional items still continue to be a big hit everywhere I go. I introduced a new item at Dayton, now I have letter openers too. We had a lot of fun giving out the openers, sticky note pads and bookmarks, and yes, I did give out a few of the now famous Ohio Section Mugs too. Becky Schoenfeld, W1BXY (she's the managing editor of QST) now has one of our famous Ohio Section mugs proudly on her desk at the ARRL. Now that's really something..
Have you read Mike Corey, KI1U's comments in the latest edition of QST? If you haven't, I would encourage everyone to read it. It's about "serving the community" in times of need. You can find his article on page 77 of the May edition of QST.
Ohio's Speaker Bureau.. I know that this has been said a million times before, but it’s always worth repeating, don’t forget to invite on of the Ohio Section Cabinet members to your next club meeting. The entire Cabinet is Ohio’s Speaker’s Bureau. If you’d like any of us to come and be a speaker at your function, please feel free to give any of us a call.
That’s going to do it this month from here.. I hope to see all of you at the various hamfests or meetings soon and who knows, maybe you’ll be one of the lucky ones to get a “mug” on me.
Have a question? Feel free to give me a call or write to me.. My email and phone number are always listed on the Ohio Section Website.. http://arrlohio.org
