Re: Net control needed for May 26th Rookie Roundtable
Mike Kelly KJ7JNG
Kirt, I have Net Control duties at 8 pm on 5/26. If no one else has volunteered for the 7 pm rookie round table, I will do it. Is there a script I need to follow? If so, please forward it to me. Thanks, Mike Kelly KJ7JNG

Re: Myers Repeater Installation
Yes big thank you to Tom, Rowland, Ralph, Paul, Jessy and Shawn. The bees kind of changed things up but seems in operation except the clock is off, laughs.
I would note if in other areas and can not access direct try the cross band located in Carnation area on 145.590 no shift tone 162.2. Ken W7ECK

Myers Repeater Installation
Thank you to those who helped with this project today. I thought it went smooth other than the bees. Wow did we have the perfect weather for it.
The Myers Repeater is now working. 443.250 + 103.5 For those not familiar, it is located on the West side of the valley up on the hill. -- Thanks, Rowland Thanks, Rowland

5-19-22 Third Thursday mini exercise
Tom WA7TBP
Hello everyone;
Here is the information for the Thursday night mini exercise.
1. After the check in net is completed, we will continue to use the Cougar repeater to coordinate our drill.
Cougar: 441.825, plus 5 MHz, tone 103.5 Hz.
2. Net Control will check in the exercise participants on the Cougar repeater.
3. We will do the signal reports on VHF simplex.
Myers cross band, 145.590 MHz, no tone.
4. Obviously, a dual band radio will be the best to use, but use what you have.
5. Net Control Station (NCS) will run a signal test at 6 power levels.
6. You can use the attached exercise aids to record your observations, or use the exercise aids to design your own form. One form is for the NCS signal report, the other for the exercise participants. You can record your data for 4 stations with this form. You will probably need several copies to run the exercise.
7. After NCS, has run the signal report, NCS will have each station in the exercise provide a signal report at your highest power, at mid level power, and the lowest power. on 145.590 MHz. If you know what your power level is for high, middle, and low, please provide it so the stations can record the data.
8. If time permits, and there is interest, NCS will allow contact between the exercise stations at various powers levels.
I hope this exercise will provide some useful information for all of us.
See you on Thursday.
73,
Tom, WA7TBP

2022 Tunnel Marathon series
Please check this out and help if you can. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Matt N7ROO <n7roo@...> Date: Mon, May 16, 2022 at 9:22 PM Subject: 2022 Tunnel Marathon series To: Matt N7ROO <n7roo@...>, Aiden Doherty <aidend@...> BCC: North Bend ARES, Issaquah ARES, Redmond ARES, SnoVARC, Kittitas ARES Hello amateur radio and emcomm folks, The North Bend ARES Team was recently contacted by the organizers of the Tunnel Marathon to request volunteer communication support for their races occurring:
For those that have not participated before, all three marathons follow the same course along the John Wayne Pioneer trail from Hyak to North Bend. Communicators are typically located at aid stations along the route, or the finish line. Should we have excess volunteers, we may have some on bicycles. For those of us who have been stuck inside for too long, this volunteer effort will allow us to not only test our communication skills, but also be of service to the community while out in nature. Communicators are expected to provide coverage from race start (0600 or 0700) until the last runner has passed their position. Please feel free to distribute this email among your members as needed. If members are interested in volunteering for 1, 2 or all 3 races please have them register their interest using this form. Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me. Additional details will be sent out prior to the start of each race to individuals that have signed up. 73 Cheers, Matt Swift - N7ROO Operations Manager | North Bend ARES Team Thanks, Rowland

May 19 third Thursday mini exercise
Tom WA7TBP
Hello everyone:
Our third Thursday mini will be an extension of the VHF coverage test we did last month. This time, we will examine how varying power levels will change reception. I am putting together a work add for you and will hopefully get out Tuesday or Wednesday.
See you on Thursday
Tom.

Re: June hybrid meeting feedback request
Mike Kelly KJ7JNG
Kirt, I joined via Zoom and only once did I have a hard time hearing one person speaking, someone mentioned the issue and the person speaking adjusted something and I could hear him clearly/loudly. I always heard Tom very clearly. The person presenting (great presentation) was also easy to hear and his deck was easy to see. Mike Kelly KJ7JNG

Looking to donate ham gear
Some of you might need interested or know someone who is. See below. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Adam Ham <7nlin.retired@...> Date: Sat, May 7, 2022 at 4:19 PM Subject: Looking to donate ham gear To: <info@...> Hi, I
am a former ham (N7LIN) living in North Bend. Been silent for decades.
I have some older equipment to clear out (a few 2m transceivers (2
Kenmore, 1 Heath (prefab, not kit)), a 10m QRP handheld transceiver, a
general purpose Heathkit HW99 50W CW transceiver, dummy loads, other low
power stuff). I am interested in donating to the purpose of bringing
new folks into the hobby (or for any ham related legit fun). If you know of someone that could use this gear before I pitch (donated, gratis of course) it I'd be grateful for the advice. I had a lot of Elmers who did the same for me when I started..... I can be contacted at this email address. Steve Becka (N7LIN retired) Thanks, Rowland

June hybrid meeting feedback request
Kirt White / K7KDW
Thank you to everyone who attended the June club meeting (either in person or via Zoom).
The hybrid meeting presented some unique challenges. With the room setup, capturing in-person audio is probably the most challenging. I'd love to hear feedback from those that joined via Zoom. I realize that those sitting at the table facing the microphone (Paul, Shawn and Ken in this case) should be the easiest to pick up, while those sitting on the sides (Myself, Rowland and Howard) would be the hardest. Moving forward, we do have some changes to try to make the experience better. We also have some additional challenges next month with 2 in-person presenters. Any feedback you can provide is helpful. Specifically people who you maybe couldn't hear or if turning up your listening volume was enough as well as if the "audience" mic interfered with the ability to hear Tom. Thanks Kirt

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS ONE!
For the June Elmer session we are going to have two speakers from the American Red Cross to talk about Psychological First Aid.
I was reading an article on PTSD in the ARRL QST Magazine last month and it got me thinking about all of you and how well you are prepared to work in a tense situation. When I was working with the Red Cross this was required training for those of us that deployed to events local or national. I thought it was an excellent class.
Here is a description of the class from one of the instructors...
PSYCHOLOGICAL FIRST AID This is a one-hour to a one-and-one-half hour training focused on skills that have been found to be most helpful when interacting with people in distress. These skills are useful whether the distress is caused by a large crisis that affects many people, or an event that might occur in a household or on a work team. These skills are learnable and powerful but, as is true in acquiring any new skill, require practice.
The class will be limited to 30 participants so I need to hear from each one of you that plan on attending. If we have less than the 30 count I am going to invite some Issaquah ARC members to fill the class. We also have a few firefighters attending that night. It will be held at the Duvall Fire Department class room following our normal business meeting on June 2nd. Business meeting will start at 6:15pm with this class beginning at 7:00pm. It will be on Zoom also but I believe if you can attend in person you might get more out of the class.
Send an email to me at rowland.brasch@... to confirm your participation soon so I can get an accurate count. If you do confirm and then something changes please let me know that also so if there is a waiting list I can invite another person.
Thanks,
Rowland K7RWB
