ARRL CONTEST NEWS 

The dates for the 2304 MHz and Up weekend for the 2006 ARRL
International EME Competition have been changed to September 16/17.
This changes the previously announced dates of September 9/10.  The
change is due to a higher moon declination to permit the northern
latitude stations longer moon access while still providing the same
moon window for the very southern latitude stations. It also avoids a
conflict on 2304 MHz where the EME frequencies are the same as the
weak signal calling frequency of 2304.1 that will be used during the
ARRL September VHF contest. The weeks for the two 50-1295 MHz EME
weekends are unchanged and remain scheduled for October 14/15 and
November 11/12.

Please note that if you have any questions about ARRL contests or
logs, please email them to contests@arrl.org instead of to Dan N1ND. 
He now has different duties at the ARRL as a Regulatory Information
Specialist and is no longer handling contests.

If you are a Linux user and RTTY contester, Rein PA0R has written
TLF. It is similar to TR-LOG and also supports RTTY using a modified
version of gmFSK as the RTTY engine.  Rein is currently rewriting TLF
in Perl, using Perl-TK. That version will also support RTTY
contesting.  More information is available at
http://tlf.wikispaces.com/ and
http://home.iae.nl/users/reinc/TLF-0.2.html. (Thanks, Fabian DJ1YFK)

Technical papers are being solicited for presentation at the
Microwave Update 2006 conference in Dayton, Ohio on October 19-22,
and publication in the Conference Proceedings by the ARRL.
Presentation at the conference is not required for publication.
Submission of papers is due by July 31st. To submit your paper or ask
questions contact Gerd Schrick at 937-253-3993 or email him at
wb8ifm@amsat.org.

For an interesting perspective on early (before 1929) radio licensing
in Australia, there's an interesting article by the late Colin
Mackinnon VK2DYM at http://www.qsl.net/vk2dym/radio/callsigns.htm.
(Thanks, Bob VK2SOB)

Here's a new grid-dip meter by two Peters, DK1HE and DL2MI -
http://www.qrpproject.de/UK/DipItUk.html. It covers 1-42 MHz with a
5-digit display. The meter has several significant improvements over
other widely used meters. This is not your Elmer's grid-dip meter!
(Thanks, Chuck W5USJ)

Just in time for the IARU HF Championship and WRTC-2006, there is a
new release of the Super Check Partial database files available at
http://www.k5zd.com/scp. This set of files was created from 2,899,131
QSOs in 2,445 logs. The full data set contained 111,374 unique calls
resulting in a master.dta file of 39,240 calls after filtering. The
announced WRTC calls have also been added to the master files.
(Thanks, Randy K5ZD)

TECHNICAL TIPS AND INFORMATION
-o-- --- oo- o-o o  -o --- -   - o-o -o-- oo -o --o

With so many of us full-swing, so to speak, into tower and antenna
work, this issue's technical theme is tower-related tips.

Let's begin with a long, but worthy item from Mike K5UO on climbing
belts, somewhat edited. "At HamCom in Plano Texas; a representative
of Pinkerton Sales (http://www.pinkertonsales.com/), representing the
"Ultra-Safe" fall-arrest climbing belt, gave an excellent demo
outside of the convention hall. He would winch up a 220-pound weight
and let it fall in different situations. The message was that
different lanyards (position or fall-arrest) exert dramatic
differences in force to the user when a fall occurs. As I recall
(approximately):
1. Six-foot conventional lanyard: 2500 pounds (ouch!)
2. Six-foot lanyard w/ sewn fold-out layers (shock absorbing): 700
pounds (still "ouch")
3. Six-foot lanyard, now get this, WITH A KNOT IN IT: "0" force; it
broke instantly! (Big ouch!)
At least on two of the ouch's, the user survived. He demonstrated two
types of climbing harnesses:
1. Conventional with nylon straps.
2. A nylon harness with straps that have some very slight stretch to
them. I liked that harness.
He added that any and all harnesses must be tightened "firmly"; not
loose and, of course, not uncomfortably too-tight. Any extreme slack
or sloppiness can be harmful in the event of a fall. He mentioned
that always someone should be present while the climber is working on
the tower and have a plan in the event of a fall. He also demo'd one
little gadget, like a reeled-up harness (see next item) hooked above
your climb that catches you immediately with no drop at all; much, I
think, as a vehicle safety belt does. Gradual movement around the
tower or climbing does not set it off; but "instant thrust" (my
words) does."  Food for thought, Mike!

The catching harness is actually a Self Retracting Lifeline (an
example can be seen at http://tinyurl.com/jnrpj). You can install one
at the top of your tower below the guy points, attach a line to the
hook, then pull it down when you need to climb. You wouldn't want to
leave your lifeline exposed to the elements all the time, hence the
attached line to retrieve it. Granted, these aren't cheap, but
they're less expensive than a week in the hospital or your funeral.
More samples are shown at http://www.rjsafety.com/CS5.html. (Thanks,
Jason KC0ERG)

Steve K7LXC notes that the correct place for a fall-arrest lanyard is
the D-ring between your shoulder blades. That will catch you and hold
you in a benign posture. The D-ring in the front is for when you use
a safety climb cable and slider system with a climbing ladder or
pegs.

A club with a tower-on-a-trailer is the envy of many. Just drive,
crank, and call, right?  Watch the wind load! Jim W6RMK points out
that you may find that a 40-foot mast with a small beam on it has
enough overturning moment in a fairly common storm gust (e.g. 60
mi/hr) that outriggers can't keep the assembly upright. He calculates
that 60 mi/hr and 9 sq ft is a force of 82 pounds at the top of the
mast that works out to 8000 lb-ft on the outriggers.  A 10-ft
outrigger would have to take an 800-pound load, supplied by the
trailer itself or by ballast on the up-wind outrigger. Similar
calculations for a 50-foot mast are shown at
http://home.earthlink.net/~w6rmk/antenna/mastcar.htm.

When Eric W3DQ asked some roofers how to prop a ladder against
gutters without smashing them, he said they place a 2x6 over the
gutter and rest the ladder against that. Simple!

A neat way of automagically storing your coax as you lower your
crank-up tower is to find a washer or dryer tub and set it at the
base of your tower. The natural coil of the coax will cause it to
wrap itself around the inside of the tub when lowering the tower and
unwrap itself effortlessly when raising the tower. (Thanks, Dick
NJ9K)

A text reference on tower safety is "Tower Climbing Safety and
Rescue." This professionally written book is full of accurate, useful
information and is available through the ARRL Products Web site at

Radio Hospitality

In less than a week, XYL Nancy W7FIR and I will haul our suitcases
and my packing cases ("lug"-gage is definitely the right word) to the
airport, boarding a flight for the first leg of our journey to Brazil
and the World Radiosport Team Championship.  At each step, it will
become more and more likely that we will see familiar faces waiting
at airport gates for their flights south.  Many hours and thousands
of miles later we will emerge from the final flight to the sights and
smells and sounds of Florianopolis.

Once on the ground and in the care of our Brazilian hosts, we will
shake off the travel blahs and jet lag to enjoy the fruits of their
months of toil and preparation.  If WRTC2006 is like previous events,
the local hams will go all out to make us welcome and our stay
memorable.  I have no doubt that each competitor and visitor will
make new friends and add a smiling face to PY call signs previously
heard on the air as voices or characters.  As I write, good memories
are surfacing of Seattle, San Francisco, Slovenia, and Helsinki.  I
can feel the handshakes, taste the local food and beers, remember the
jokes and cheers, and hear the contest contacts flowing.

I encourage every ham to make a journey to an event like WRTC,
whether it's a regional convention or specialty gathering or even a
world championship.  You don't have to travel to the ends of the
earth, just get out of your back yard.  Even better, help create such
a gathering! You'll be glad you did, making new friends and
broadening your ham radio horizons. Working with the other members of
the 1990 WRTC Committee marked a turning point in ham radio for me:
from a watch-er, I became a do-er. Think of it as adding a few new
tower sections under your social antenna!

Regardless of whether you travel physically, you can exhibit the
legendary ham hospitality on the air, too. It's easy to forget
sometimes, in the hustle and bustle of making and logging contacts on
busy bands, that each signal you hear comes from another person
operating from that special place at home or on their travels through
the world. At the other end of every contact, near or far, you'll
find another ham whose kindred spirit led them to the same time and
radio place as you.

Take a second to savor that meeting, whether in person or on the air.
Each contact may be a once-in-a-lifetime experience with the two of
you parting forever with the final "73" and a turn of the dial. Take
care to display that hospitality for which hams are so well known,
the instant bond that we owe to the shared understanding of the magic
of radio.

73, Ward N0AX
