2010 APE Tall Tales

N3VOP & W4KRN, 1 August

 

W7PAQ, 1-15 August

After 6 straight weeks on the 64 acre island camp I went qrt August 13th. I got to celebrate my 69th birthday when the whole camp sang Happy Birthday to me at Flags one evening. My 2 ½ year old granddaughter called and sang Happy Birthday to me during a teaching session and the scouts spread the word about my birthday.

 

I managed 153 contacts in August in spite of the S9 noise level caused by the water pump controller. I had my usually FT897 and a carolina windom antenna. The tuner failed mid operations and limited my operations to 20 and 40M. I did try a few 6M CQs with no success.

 

I was the Nature director this summer and taught the Radio and the 100th anniversary of Boy Scouts special merit badge..Signaling. Signaling required the scouts to send/receive Morse code and semaphore, The Morse code requirement was 7 WPM. Semaphore required 6 WPM and about 5 scouts actually mastered the sending and receiving. They are hoping to master the Morse code requirement before the end of 2010 when the merit badge is again retired.

K9VIC, 2-5 August

 

N2GWK, 6-8 August

 

N2GWK participated again this year in the PODSX070 APE.We operated from Natural Bridge State Park in Slade KY.Our operating location was once again in a “roughing it gently” cabin as we are too old and ugly to be in the general campground population (hihi).

Conditions at the campsite were not the greatest especially the ‘hike’ to the cabin. Our cabin was set in a “holler” as we call it here in Kentucky and the cabin was on the side of the hill.The only way to the cabin was by climbing about 50 steps up the side of the hill.One of the attached pictures depict the OM George having his first bout of chest pain mid-stairway.

Our antenna was once again our 31 ft. wire vertical with 8, 30 ft. radials. Running the radials was a bit of a challenge since the antenna was situated on the side of the hill and all the radials were spread out down the hill.(I couldn’t talk my XYL in to climbing up the hill side to lay the radials.) Rig used was a Yaesu Ft-867D,Z100 Autotuner, Signalink USB interface.Digital was delivered via an Acer Netbook and HRD v5.0, theoutput power was about 25 W.

The log was not as full as we wished, only 28.Total member contacts were 11.Below is our ‘Chimpy’ little log.

Attached are some pictures taken of the APE Station, the stairs to the cabin and the Natural Bridge.An interesting picture of the fine for carving is attached also. Please note that the fine for carving is really $500.Someone has carved a decimal point on the sign to lower the fine to $5.00.There must not have been a fine for carving on the No Carving sign.Ironic.

All in all we had a great time and we’re looking forward to the 2011 APE Adventures.Next August may find us operating once again at yet another Kentucky State Park,hopefully on flat ground.

W7PSK, 7 August

 

N4CDB, 7 August

 

W5KAM, 9-14 August

 

The Davis Mountain APE was conducted out in west Texas just south of Fort Davis, Texas. We were set up at about 5500 feet in the Davis Mountains, just below the McDonald Observatory. The weather was over all great for our APE with only Sunday and Monday having thunderstorms in the area. The temp were around 100 degrees during the day time, but an nice 60-62 degrees at night.
 

My equipment that I used was as follows:
Radio: Icom 746
Antenna: Buddipole Deluxe set up as a vertical with counterpoise
Interface: Rigblaster P & P.
Software: MixW ver 2.19
Computer: Dell Laptop running Windows XP Professional

I think we made around a total of 65 contacts during our stay and had a great time doing it.

As I told you we did some ham radio during some of the afternoons and astrophotography every night with our telescopes. As you can see we were very busy day and night. I have designed a QSL card that I have been sending out from the APE and have had a fairly good request from my contacts wanting a QSL card.

Here are a few of my photos that I took with my telescope while I was out there.

K9VIC, 13-15 August

 

K9VIC APE REPORT

In anticipation of some nasty storms, my APE originally planned for Stoughton, WI was changed, with the approval of the APE Program Manager, to a closer venue. I chose Millbrook, IL as it’s rural and about a 40 minute drive from home. If things got too bad, being closer to home would certainly be advantageous. (I was actually more worried about getting home if there was a potential flooding situation – I live on a river – than the APE getting a bit wet.)

On August 13, after loading up, we shoved off. We left about 3:30 p.m., heading out in a recently purchased, slightly-used RV. In fact, this was our maiden voyage in the RV. Until now, it’s been only tent camping. As we weren’t driving the three hours to Stoughton, we brought a second vehicle to use to run out and buy the things that never seem to get packed.

This was a new location for me, and the camp site was acceptable. Well, that is, as long as your definition of acceptable means it has electric, water, and sewer hookups (the latter two we didn’t use). Other than that, the site wasn’t much larger than the combined area of the RV and van. There were some large trees, but using them to string wire would mean intruding on the neighbors. Fortunately, I’d brought a tripod, some radials, and mobile whips for 40- and 20-meters.

After dinner, I set up the station (an Icom 706 MKIIG and a Dell laptop) and called CQ. It was rough going. Several hours of calling netted me seven contacts on 20-meters before the storms arrived. The storms were pretty intense. I shut down not because of lightning, but because I was fairly certain the antenna was going to get blown over.

Saturday I made a healthy run of things, calling CQ in between meals and a run to the store. The band wasn’t in great shape, but it’s much more comfortable sitting in the RV than a tent. Several hours of work and I managed to put 16 more 20-meter contacts in the log before I decided to try 40-meters for a while. I switched antennas, and 40-meters sounded good. Unfortunately, much CQ-ing netted me only a single 40-meter contact.

By Sunday the rest of the family had about enough camping for the weekend. We packed up a bit early and made the trek home. Overall, it was a decent trip. It allowed me to test out the new camping digs from a radio perspective, and finally (after several non-successful ones) put another successful APE on the books. My thanks to all who listened for my signal. Hopefully next year I’ll have improved the antenna situation and will sound better. My log follows, with the eight 070 Club members marked with asterisks.

2010_W6R_APE_1
Official W6R QSL card. This is a view from Running Springs, in the San Bernardino National Forest, looking down into the Big Bear Valley.
 
2010_W6R_APE_2
It's official! W6R is listed on QRZ.com!

2010_W6R_APE_2a
The W6R station: Kenwood TS-480 SAT, 35 - 40 watts, LDG KT-100 tuner that interfaced so smoothly with the radio, No interface was needed as we fed the audio directly from the TS-480 to the computer and back to the radio via the speaker and mic jacks on the computer. We used an IOTA 45 amp power supply, and a Bird peak reading wattmeter. Logging was done on an eMachine laptop using ACLog. The main station computer was an MIS, (a swapmeet special), running Win XP Pro and MixW 2.19 by W6QE and HRD-DM780 by WØPE. The red pillow in the chair was very much needed! Next year? Maybe more RAM in the main computer.

2010_W6R_APE_2b
This is the wifi antenna that we used to get our internet connection from the neighbor across the street. It was fairly reliable, as long as the window was open. Thanks to good neighbor Paul across the street!

2010_W6R_APE_3
Operators, Milt, W6QE (left) and Fred, WØPE (right). Casual was the name of the game.

2010_W6R_APE_4
We're on the air and playing!

2010_W6R_APE_5
Milt, W6QE, making rate. Two keyboards, one for logging and one for MixW.

2010_W6R_APE_6
Our full sized G5RV at about 40'. It played well, and was broadside to the East and West. We still had some very strong signals from the Pacific Northwest.

2010_W6R_APE_7
This is our 1:1 current balun, designed and built by Fred. We realized early on that it was needed. It did a fantastic job of keeping the RF up in the air where it belonged, not in the shack!

2010_W6R_APE_9
This "X" marks the 1 place on the property where there was cell service. Stand there, and you're good. Move anywhere else, and no service.

2010_W6R_APE_9a
Old Country Coffee Shop, (OCCS), the official W6R restaurant! Great food, gigantic portions, and fairly priced.
Biscuits and gravy to die for!

Special thanks go to:
Sandy Garb, who allowed W6QE to spend as much time "doing his APE thing" as he wanted.
Barb Osterman, WB6PIH, Fred's XYL. Barb is a very good sport and has a lot of patience.
IT Support: Rob & Paul
And, the local hams in our posse that stopped by to point and laugh, operate a bit, and just help us pass the time.
 
Thanks to all of the Ø7Ø Club members that worked our meager APE station. All I can say is, "Wait until next year!"

Some statistics:
Total contacts: 442
Total different Ø7Ø members worked: 101 This is the statistic that is amazing!
We worked into Asia, deep Russia, South America, Central America, Caribbean, Eastern Europe, Southern Europe, UK, VK, ZL & other South Pacific area's.
Total DX "entities" worked: 24
 

FAQ:
Will W6R apply for Ø7Ø Club membership?
Answer: No. There is no guarantee that we will be able to get that call in the future, and it will create confusion for others applying for and using the W6R call for other special events, psk31 or not. Ex: C-BAR-C Rt 66 On the Air will be using it in October, etc.
 

Thanks again for all of the Ø7Ø members for helping us make this effort successful!

WØPE, Fred
Milt., W6QE

K9H — Going APE, 2010

We are Chuck (K9PLX) and Mitch (K9ZXO) Hopper. We grew up in the west central Illinois town of Jacksonville, although both of us have lived elsewhere for many years now. We decided to combine a trip to the old homestead to celebrate our mother's 91st birthday with our second APE weekend; we again obtained the special event call sign K9H (H for Hopper, of course) in commemoration of the event, and began making our plans in July.

Mitch provided the rig (an old IC-751 that he lovingly refers to as "steam powered"), the interface (a newly homebrewed masterpiece) and the tuner (an MFJ Intelli-Tuner). Chuck went to his club, the York Radio Club of Elmhurst, IL, and borrowed one of their sectional 30 foot masts, a couple of 50 foot lengths of coax, and a nice trapped dipole for 40 and 20 Meters, which also happened to load 80 Meters very well. The old homestead provided the 110 V. AC.

The station was set up on a screened porch and the situation would have been ideal if the weather had cooperated — BUT — it was pretty hot and humid throughout both days of the event. We still had some drop-in observers but not in the numbers of last year when the temperature and the humidity were both at least 15 points lower! Ugh.

On the whole, the bands could have been more cooperative but they certainly could have been much worse, and we ended the two days with 87 QSOs. this included time off for birthday dinners, and the fact that all the bands had gone completely dead in west central IL by midnight local time. The 87 QSOs included 16 unique DXCC entities on 5 continents, and 24 American states. There were 25 PODXS 070 members in there, including one other APE station, W6R who was working from Running Springs CA, just a few miles from the Redlands home of KC9BLJ, the son of K9PLX. It is, indeed, a small world!

Look for us again next year for the THIRD annual edition of K9H!
