_____________________________________________________

EDITOR'S OBSERVATION

At the November meeting a Vice President and  One (!) Director and the Secretary-Treasurer offices were to be voted on.  Nominations from the floor were accepted. As you can see in the November 2011 meeting minutes that  no one was nominated or volunteered for the office of Vice President.  To Date no action has been taken by the Club officers and Directors to fill this vacancy.

If the office is not filled at the February meeting, I would suggest that the position of Vice President be eliminated and necessary changes to our charter and or by-laws be made.

 I have lost a great deal of our ARCHIVES link.  I hope to recover most of it from backup CD's that  I periodically make. However, this will take time. Compounding all the above is a new Laptop Computer with WIN 7. OS.  In my opinion, don't get it or use it until you have to.  Microsoft has done it to us again!

November 19, 2011




President Mel Vye W8MV welcomes members and guests to Nov. 19, 2011 meeting.

QCWA Chapter 21 held their Annual Meeting on November 19, 2011 at the B & K Restaurant in Canal Fulton, OH. After the Pledge of Allegiance.outgoing President Mel Vye W8MV welcomed the 24 members and guests.  He spoke of the recent increase in the number of  SCAMS that were causing problems on email especially YAHOO mail. He suggested that if you were an ARRL member, it would be possible to receive your mail through the ARRL mail site which would the send it to your home email address. In that way you would protect your email address.  W1FEZ then described the problems he has had by a SCAM on YAHOO mail and the problem he had in getting it resolved.  It took three weeks and seveal different sources to reslve. He apologized for the delay in the Newsletter and Web Page updates.

Secretsry/Treasurer Judy McCune presented the Financial Report and it was accepted.  She also suggested that in keepingwith tradition that it would be in order to send a $25.00 donation to the QCWA Scholarship fund in remmrance of our most recent SK Denny Frey K8NIB.  Motion was made by W1FEZ and seconded by K8ASGB and approved. It was also mentioned that the wife of Andy Hogue W8DIR and the sister of Judy McCune N8AIMhad also passed away recently.

The Election of Officers and Director  did not occur as their were no nominees presented. The current officers and directors will meet to resolve this issue. 

With the traditonal "passing of the gavel"  Mel W8MV turned the meeting over to Les Myers KK8K and welcomed him as new President.

Les KK8K then presented the program, which was  an old Sherlock Holmes radio program.   Les was able to record it and get  a CD of it from the producers which he showed on his laptop computer.
It brought back many memories!

The meeting was then adjourned.

   
 
Tom, KP2E and Dennis, K8AGB put QCWA Chapter 21 banner in place prior to meeting.

August 20, 2011 Minutes

 Our August meeting was held at the home of Mel Vye W8MV with 5 members and 6 guests attending.  After having a delicious lunch, Mel took us on a boat ride around the Portage Lakes while we relaxed and enjoyed the scenery.

When we returned, Mel demonstrated the "Weak Signal Propagation Reporting (WSPR) system" developed by Joe Taylor, K1JT and as described in the November 2010 issue of QST.  This system uses four FSK tones in a bandwidth of 6 Hz and a baud rate of 1.46 bps.  This very narrow bandwidth signals to be decoded with a S/N ratio < 25 db.  As an example, Mel was able to decode a 5 W signal from Western Australia on 160 m.

 Due to the time that had past, and the small turnout we did not have a formal meeting.  All who went enjoyed themselves.

 Respectfully Submitted,

Judy McCune N8AIM



Minutes of Chapter 21 QCWA Chapter 21 meeting May 31, 2011

QCWA Chapter 21 met on May 28th, 2011 at the Gracee Anns B&K in Canal Fulton, Ohio. We had 10 members and 8 guests in attendance. Vice President Les Myers KK8K welcomed everyone to our 5:00 meeting and had everyone introduce themselves. After a lovely prayer, we ordered dinner.

Les introduced Ken Simpson K8EK, National QCWA Director and former resident of Stark county, who presented Dennis Moriarty's K8AGB  the55th Anniversary Award and announced that he would deliver E. Keith Chambers W8VAN 55th Anniversary Award to him in Florida.  Perry Ballinger W8AU also has a 55th Anniversary Award but was not attending today's meeting as he was doing duty on the LST 325 Meorial ship in Indiana. 
Ken gave an interesting program about radio displays in small museums that included many pictures of old radios and other stuff. that he and his wife Sue hadseen on their Alaska trip in 2010. Thank you Ken for sharing your findings.

Carol Sciarini won the 50 -50 drawing for $16.00 and donated it back to the club, so we are $16.00 richer than we were without the drawing.

Members were reminded of the Lunch at Tim's on the first Wednesday of each month. The August meeting will be held at the home of Mel W8MV & XYL Martha Vye on the Portage Lakes.

Respectfully Submitted,
Judy McCune N8AIM

LOCAL CLUB NEWS

Alliance ARC
The Alliance ARC has a new President. Certainly not a new face with
that club. John Myers, KD8MQ, is now wearing the President's hat. He
was their Vice President. This club is famous for their fox hunts. The
guest speaker at their December meeting will be Robert Gilbert, KA8JOY,
who will speak about "crash scene investigation". The club publishes
the ZERO-BEAT Newsletter and they also have a Christmas Party as one of
their end of the year events.
Massillon ARC
The Massillon Amateur Radio Club  provided communications for the
annual Massillon Holiday Parade and the Club's Emergency Communication
Trailer was a unit in the parade.. They also plan to elect new Club
Officers. Members were kept busy during their MARC Hamfest 2009.
_________________________________________


+++ We Keep Growing and Growing +++

New amateur licenses seem to be overcoming the blip in licensing figures brought on by the onset of the 10-year license. There are
about 14,000 more licensees now than a year ago.

Last year's increase brings the number of ham licensees in the US to over 674,000. This total is just under the all-time high for US
licensees. If we add another 14,000 this year, we will have exceeded the all-time high for ham licensees.

Therefore, current facts do not support the contention being spread by many amateurs that ham radio is a dying avocation. We may not be in a
teen-age growth spurt, but we are growing. Don't count Amateur radio out.

Reruiting

From the QCWA Chapter 1 Report
Maintaining strong QWA Chapters requires that recruiting efforts must be a regular activity. Our future depends on it.  While Chapter 1 added to its roster during the 2010  recruiting drive, members are encouraged to extend warm invitations to others who have yet to join QCWA.

FCC LOOKS TO RAISE VANITY CALL SIGN FEES FOR SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR

The FCC released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Order (NPRM) on May 14 seeking to raise fees for Amateur Radio vanity call signs
<http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-08-126A1.pdf. Currently, a vanity call sign costs $12.30 and is good for 10 years; the
new fee, if the FCC plan goes through, will go up to $13.40 for 10 years, an increase of $1.10. The FCC is authorized by the Communications
Act of 1934 (as amended) to collect vanity call sign fees to recover the costs associated with that program. The vanity call sign regulatory fee
is payable not only when applying for a new vanity call sign, but also upon renewing a vanity call sign for a new term. Instructions on how to
comment on this NPRM are available on the FCC Web site http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/howtocomment.html>.
The vanity call sign regulatory fee is payable not only when applying for a new vanity call sign, but also upon renewing a vanity call signfor a new term. The first vanity call sign licenses issued under the current Amateur Radio vanity call sign program that began in 1996 cameup for renewal three years ago.
Those holding vanity call signs issued prior to 1996 are exempt from having to pay the vanity call sign regulatory fee at renewal, however.
That's because Congress did not authorize the FCC to collect regulatory fees until 1993. Such "heritage" vanity call sign holders do not appear
as vanity licensees in the FCC Amateur Radio database.

Amateur Radio licensees may file for renewal only within 90 days of their license expiration date. All radio amateurs must have an FCC
Registration Number (FRN) before filing any application with the Commission. Applicants can obtain an FRN by going to the ULS
<http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls/> and clicking on the "New Users Register" link. You must supply your Social Security Number to obtain an FRN.

QCWA CHAPTER 21 NET

Net became dormant im Spring of 2005.  Lack of interest, timing of net on Thursday evening and lack of activity of 145.11 repeater have been cited for the demise. Attempts to start Net up again have been futile!  Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Contact one of the Chapter officers or directors.
