   NEW HF OPERATORS - THINGS TO DO   
      
   "Do we have to do RTTY again?" - RTTY is one of the fastest growing contest   
   modes, and between the SARTG RTTY contest, and the ARRL Rookie Roundup, RTTY,   
   there will be plenty of stations to work. The North American QSO Party (NAQP)   
   is another great option, as all contest entrants are limited to 100w, it's   
   only 12 hours long, and you can team up with one to four others to combine   
   your scores against other teams. Heck, why not do NAQP on one day, and Rookie   
   Roundup on the next?   
      
   The weekend of August 22 is relatively calm - only THREE contests from which   
   to choose. QSO parties are always good fun.   
      
      
   BULLETINS   
      
   "It was discovered not long after the release of the 2014 November Sweepstakes   
   Phone results that there was a problem involving the W1AW portable stations   
   celebrating the ARRL Centennial. The log checking software treated the   
   different stations as a single call sign, so if both were worked during the   
   contest, only one was counted and the other considered a dupe. This caused   
   anyone working both stations to lose a QSO and for some, a multiplier was also   
   lost. It was decided that we would allow both portable stations to count and   
   then rescore the contest after updating the log checking software.   
      
   During this process, it was also discovered that a step had been omitted   
   during the original log checking process. Performing this additional step   
   improved checking of miscopied call signs, which for some entries changed what   
   had been considered contacts with unique calls into busted QSOs. Because   
   accuracy is exceptionally important in this contest, we are releasing   
   corrected results. The changes did not affect any of the overall winners, but   
   did change the order of finish for some of the Top Ten spots. One Division   
   winner changed.   
      
   The new data has been uploaded to the online database and new LCRs and line   
   scores are available, although we will not be rewriting the results article.   
   We have added a note to the beginning of the article and appended updated   
   tables.   
      
   We apologize, but as most will agree, it is important that we publish accurate   
   results with the correct order of finish. Thank you to the participants who   
   brought this to our attention and all the folks behind the scenes who helped   
   to discover and fix the additional error and produce the updated results."

   NEWS, PRESS RELEASES, AND GENERAL INTEREST   
      
   Contest University USA 2016 will be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Dayton,   
   Ohio, on Thursday May 19, 2016. When host hotel reservations opened early on   
   August 3rd, remaining rooms at the host hotel booked quickly. If you still   
   need a room at the host hotel, start looking on the CQ-Contest, Topband, etc.,   
   reflectors in March, as people become more definite about their Dayton plans.   
   There are, of course, rooms available in other hotels in the area.   
      
   For ham radio in general, and contesting in particular, Dayton, Ohio is the   
   place to be May 18-22, 2016:   
      
    *  Wednesday May 18, 2016 - CTU registration and pizza party   
    *  Thursday May 19, 2016 - CTU and RTTY Contest Dinner

   N6ZE notes that it's possible to post a score of zero to 3830scores.com, and   
   why one may want to do that: "I'm glad to see that the '3830 Rumor Page'   
   permits submission of an contest entry even if no QSOs result from attempting   
   to make QSOs (submitting a score of '1' without any QSOs is the way to do   
   it!). VA7VX/QRP just did this for the Fall 2015 six meter SPRINT. A couple of   
   years ago I was permitted to do this when I was QSO-less from CN88 with just a   
   33cm handheld during a microwave SPRINT. This is a great way to demonstrate   
   station ACTIVITY & INTEREST even when no QSOs have resulted."   
      
   The CW NAQP Results Database is back on-line and updated through the January   
   2015 NAQP. (Steve N2IC)   
      
   The YASME Foundation announced three new recipients of the YASME Excellence   
   Award. Honored were Mike Mertel, K7IR, for his invention of the tunable Yagi   
   antenna; Koos Fockens, PA0KDF, for his comprehensive analysis and reporting of   
   ham band noise which aided in countering BPL (Broadband over Power Line); and   
   James Ying, N2IW, for the creation of the online scheduling app used during   
   the 2014 ARRL Centennial.   
      
   The FCC is urging telecom carriers to upgrade to fiber optics throughout their   
   networks. Some hams have noted that in a power outage, land-line phones still   
   worked because copper also provided circuit power. What happens when there is   
   fiber-to-the-home? Many residential telecom providers supply a backup power   
   source, which after a period of time must be maintained by the homeowner. The   
   land-line issue may be moot, as at the end of 2013, according to the CDC (as   
   reported by the Pew Research Center), two of five households have only   
   wireless phones. If you'd like to have power during an emergency, there's   
   always a Tesla Powerwall.(Thanks N6KI)   
      
   If you are using Firefox as a web browser, it's advised that you upgrade   
   immediately to the latest version, due to a recently discovered zero-day   
   attack.   
      
   Additional pieces of the quantum-computing-machinery puzzle may be falling   
   into place as researchers have demonstrated a way to separate particles on the   
   basis of their spin. Think of this as a quantum diode. The referenced article   
   also cites a new method of providing a 'delay line' at the quantum level.   
      
   Electronics at a larger scale continues to enjoy innovation; a h   
   gh-performance single-molecule diode has been developed by researchers.   
   (Thanks N6KI)   
      
   Web Site of the Week - Science Channel, How It's Made   
      
   The Science Channel provides bite-sized (2-6 minute) videos on how various   
   things are made. It's intriguing to see machines, tools, and techniques used   
   to make things as mundane as inner tubes or confections, and gives me ideas on   
   how to handle or use materials. The How It's Made link on the Science Channel   
   provides one means to watch these videos, another is the How It's Made channel   
   on YouTube.   
      
      
   WORD TO THE WISE   
      
   RDF - Receive Directivity Factor   
      
   In practical terms, RDF is a factor measuring the difference in signal from   
   the desired signal direction vs. energy received from all of the other   
   directions. A more precise definition (from W8WWV) is the "difference between   
   the forward gain of an antenna (usually the maximum forward gain) and the   
   average gain of the antenna." RDF is used as a figure of merit for low-band   
   antennas, where desired signals can be well above receiver MDF, but are masked   
   by 'louder' noise signals. A comparison of typical antennas used for the low   
   bands and their respective RDFs can be found on W8JI's web site.   
      
      
   SIGHTS AND SOUNDS   
      
   Well-known contester Dan W7WA, and conference chair Rich, W6RS at the Pacific   
   Northwest DX Convention. Dan mentions he's looking forward to the CQP coming   
   up soon.   
      
   The Pacific Northwest DX Convention was held this past weekend in Everett,   
   Washington. This year's event was sponsored by the Western Washington DX Club,   
   and featured speakers covering a wide range of topics relevant to contesters,   
   including an ARRL forum (K9JF, W6RGG, N0AX, K7CEX), propagation (K9LA),   
   low-band operation (N6TR), the E30FB DXpedition (N6PSE), techniques to make   
   efficient Q's (N6MZ, K6MM, N2TU, K9JF), and contesting from our part of the   
   world (W7VJ). Saturday evening's presentation on K1N by N6MZ was preceded by   
   the YASME Foundation's Technical Excellence award being presented to Mike,   
   K7IR, for his dogged pursuit and perfection of the dynamically tunable yagi   
   antenna. Everyone enjoyed K6MM's take on the humorous side of the hobby on   
   Sunday. Throughout the weekend, it was a great opportunity to meet with   
   contesters and DXers; events like these seem to raise the enthusiasm level for   
   everyone.   
      
   You've likely heard W6YI on the air in a contest. This drone video, shot by   
   N6ED, of the W6YI 'layout' shows why they do so well. Here's another, this one   
   of K6NA. (Thanks N6KI)   
      
      
   RESULTS AND RECORDS   
      
   Final results and PDF certificates for URE's His Majesty the King of Spain SSB   
   2015 are available for perusal and download, as are the complete scores.   
      
   The 2015 Minnesota QSO Party Results (PDF) have been posted. In addition to   
   listings of the scores, there are interesting ham-biographic sketches on some   
   of the participants, and even a discussion on the log scoring process.   
      
   The 2015 ARRL DX Phone Line Score Results have been posted. The full results   
   article should also be on the web site by the end of the week.   
      
   Mark, K6UFO reports: "Preliminary results for the July North American QSO   
   Party - RTTY, are now available at the National Contest Journal web site.   
   Congratulations to all participants! Please report any problems directly to   
   me, K6UFO. Final results will be published in a few months in the National   
   Contest Journal."   
      
      
   OPERATING TIP   
      
   Can't break that CW pileup? Try varying your CW sending speed, or perhaps try   
   sending your call with a straight key - anything to distinguish your call from   
   everyone else calling, but still within the bounds of good operating ethics   
   and practices.   
      
      
   TECHNICAL TOPICS AND INFORMATION   
      
   Radio waves (and their reflections) at around 60 MHz are used to map ice   
   thickness. This article on ice penetrating radar discusses the basics, and has   
   some great visualizations of RF reflections through ice. And it has a picture   
   of penguins.   
      
   As we upgrade our shack computers to Microsoft Windows 10, there are concerns   
   about the policies and particulars of Windows 10 automatic upgrades. Steve,   
   N2IC, suggests changing a few Windows settings if you're going to be using   
   Windows 10 during contests (you may need to be a member of the N1MMLoggerPlus   
   Yahoo group to access this article). A short summary of his comments: In   
   Updates and Security Settings, Advanced Options, change restart after update   
   to "Notify to schedule restart." Also, to minimize peer-to-peer distribution   
   of Windows updates through your computer, turn off   
   the "Windows Update Delivery Optimization" in the same location. N3BUO also   
   suggested another article on how to disable Windows 10 updates.   
      
   Initial independent performance measurements of the Yaesu FT-991 have been   
   completed by some well-regarded individuals, Adam Farson: VA7OJ/AB4OJ's FT-991   
   Notes, and Rob Sherwood: Sherwood Engineering's Receiver Test Data. (thanks   
   W7VP)   
      
   You may have heard or seen the stories in the news about a Jeep Cherokee being   
   able to be taken over by 'hackers.' Here's an in-depth article (PDF) by the   
   researchers that were funded by DARPA to do this very thing, including   
   description of the vulnerable systems, and methods used.   
      
   Power derived from nuclear fusion may be getting a little closer to reality as   
   MIT researchers have come up with a new reactor design taking advantage of   
   Rare Earth Barium Copper Oxide superconducting tapes for conductors for the   
   high-field magnetic coils. The breakthrough enables intense magnetic fields at   
   reasonable (liquid nitrogen) temperatures with considerably less power   
   consumption than previous designs. Though no fusion reactors have yet been   
   able to generate more energy than they consume, the MIT team predicts that   
   this new design could return 3 to 6 times the input energy. The ITER reactor   
   in France, designed and started before the MIT discoveries, is scheduled to be   
   completed in 2019. The ITER reactor could be the first operational   
   net-positive fusion reactor.   
      
   Non-magnetic materials could be made more attractive in the future:   
   Researchers have found a way to add magnetic properties to non-magnetic   
   materials, to achieve ferromagnetism at room temperatures. Materials altered   
   in this way could find wide application in electronics. (Thanks N6KI)   
      
   One of the technologies to build really big things, and lift very large loads,   
   is a strand jack. A relatively new invention (1969), if you were a   
   Lilliputian, and you had to lift your Gulliver a few stories, you'd use these.   
      
   Technical Web Site of the Week - crows.org   
      
   The Association of Old Crows doesn't sound much like it's related to   
   technology, however this non-profit organization is devoted to cutting-edge   
   uses of electronics and the electromagnetic spectrum. The AOC traces its   
   history back to the Strategic Air Command and before - and caters to   
   individuals involved in Electronic Warfare technology and techniques. Amateur   
   radio can trace some innovations in communications techniques (e.g. SSB)   
   directly to these same roots. The AOC's scope has increased to encompass IT   
   topic areas, as the electromagnetic spectrum can be viewed as a transport.   
   Free technical seminars are available periodically via the AOC web site, and   
   the "Journal of Electronic Defense" makes for interesting reading.   
      
      
   CONVERSATION   
      
   This Issue's Conversation is courtesy of Sean Kutzko, KX9X:   
      
   Satellites for Contest Expeditions   
      
   Planning a contest expedition soon? While the pileups you know and love are on   
   HF, there's an entire community of satellite operators that would be thrilled   
   to work you from a different DXCC country. With a slight change of   
   perspective, you can be working pileups in an entirely different way.   
      
   Satellite operation is on the upswing, thanks to AMSAT's FOX program and   
   efforts from China-AMSAT. More FM single-channel satellites will be in the air   
   over the next 18 months, and the number of SSB/CW linear transponder   
   satellites (with between 20kc and 100kc of bandwidth) will also be rising,   
   too. Both types of satellite operate primarily on 2 meters and 70 centimeters,   
   transmitting on one band while receiving on the other.   
      
   With the absence of high Earth orbit (HEO) ham sats in the past several years,   
   DXCC via satellite went from being a reasonable challenge to all but   
   impossible. This year's K1N Navassa Island operation was the first major   
   DXpedition in some time to bring satellite equipment, thanks to the efforts of   
   AMSAT Vice President of Operations Andrew Glasbrenner, KO4MA, and ARRL Media   
   and Public Relations Manager Sean Kutzko, KX9X. They were able to convince the   
   K1N team to bring a modest satellite station on the DXpedition and AMSAT even   
   provided the transceiver, much to the delight of the satellite community.   
      
   The extra gear doesn't have to take up much space. For the FM satellites, a   
   dual-band HT and a handheld Arrow or Elk antenna are all that's needed for   
   reliable QSOs. For the analog birds, one or two DC-to-daylight rigs will do   
   quite nicely. Adjusting your VFO on the fly to compensate for the Doppler   
   shift as the satellite flies overhead takes a bit of getting used to, as does   
   keeping the antenna pointed towards a moving target, but it's nothing too   
   strenuous.   
      
   The satellite community is also very active collecting Maidenhead grid   
   squares, so you can hand out a rare DXCC and a rare grid at the same time.   
   Veteran satellite operator Clayton, W5PFG, has a YouTube video (   
   ttp://www.amsat.org/?page_id=1869) of his talk to the 2014 AMSAT Symposium on   
   grid squares and portable operating on the birds.   
      
   Add a little satellite spice to your contest DX trip. You'll discover a new   
   way of enjoying ham radio and you'll provide a rare country to an entire   
   community of operators. Check out AMSAT's "For Beginners" page on their site   
   (http://www.amsat.org/?page_id=1869) to get the ball rolling, or email Drew or   
   Sean if you have more specific questions.
