Old site

2025-08-13T02:04:05Z

KJ7RRV: /* Technical details */

The '''old PBARC Web site''' was located at the Web address http://pelicanbayarc.com. It is no longer used as the club's main site, as it has been replaced by the [[PBARC Wiki]] (this Web site), but almost all of its content is still available, and most links to it should still work.

Many old [[minutes]] and three [[Sparks]] newsletters were on the old site and have been uploaded here.

== Technical details ==

The old site was powered by WordPress and hosted on GoDaddy. This hosting plan has been cancelled; the site is now served by a static mirror is now hosted on the same server as this site, the [[PBARC Wiki]]. This is only a "snapshot" of the site's content shortly before it was shut down; the WordPress software is no longer running, so the content cannot be readily edited. Any updates will be posted here, not on the old site.

The decision to replace the old site with a static mirror was made at the [[Media:Minutes-2023-05.pdf|May 2023 meeting]]. The archive was created on an alternate domain sometime around then, and the transfer was finally completed with the pointing of the original domain to this server in August 2025, after a period when the old site was only accessible through an alternate URL.

URLs of pages in the archive do not match those on the original site, because many of the URLs were distinguished only by query parameters, which cannot be used with static files, but redirect rules are in place so that old links still work. The primary domain of the archive is https://old.w7bkg.org, but the original domain redirects to that one.

Glossary

2025-08-10T22:56:55Z

KJ7RRV: /* HT */

This is a '''glossary''' of common amateur radio terms. If you can't find the term your looking for, try the search bar above; terms for which we have complete articles are not listed here.

== Band ==

A '''band''' is a contiguous segment of the radio frequency spectrum. For example, the 2 meter band, the most widely used [[VHF]] amateur radio band, extends from 144 to 148 MHz (megahertz). (Megahertz are a measurement of frequency.) Bands can overlap; for example, VHF itself is the band of frequencies from 30 to 300 MHz.

== Bandwidth ==

'''Bandwidth''' is the width of the [[#Band|band]] occupied by a particular signal. It varies significantly with the [[mode]] in use; an [[FT8]] signal has a bandwidth of about 50 [[#Hertz|Hz]], while an [[SSB]] signal is typically about 3,000 Hz (3 kHz). A WiFi signal has a bandwidth of at least 20,000,000 Hz (20 MHz), far too wide for use on [[HF]] or [[VHF]] bands, but suitable for some [[microwave]] bands in [[High-Speed Multimedia]] networks. All else being equal, a signal with a narrower bandwidth will be received more strongly than a wider signal, but will not convey as much information in a given period of time. Another benefit of a narrower bandwidth is that it leaves more "room" for other operators.

== Call Sign ==

'''Call signs''' are issued to all amateur radio operators and many clubs by the [[FCC]] (in the US) or the equivalent government agency in other countries. They are used as identifiers on the air, and must be transmitted at least every ten minutes in conversation and at the end of the conversation. Some examples of call signs are "K7AGE" and "W1AW." PBARC's call sign is W7BKG, hence the address of this site.

The FCC assigns a "sequential" call sign such as "KJ7RRV" upon passing an exam to obtain an [[amateur radio license]], but a custom "vanity" call sign can be obtained afterwards as long as it meets the FCC's requirements and is not already assigned. In addition to the $35 fee to obtain a license, another $35 must be paid for a vanity call sign.

You may be more familiar with broadcast call signs such as KURY, KPOD-FM, or KDRV-DT; these are also issued by the FCC (or its equivalent outside the United States) for the purpose of identifying a station.

== Contact ==

''See [[#QSO|QSO]]''

== Designator ==

A '''designator''' is a suffix (or sometimes prefix) added to a call sign and separated with a "/" character (spoken as "slash" or "slant" on [[phone]] modes). Common designators include "slant portable" ("/P" on [[digital]] and [[CW]]), used to indicate an operation away from one's home station, "slant mobile" ("/M"), used for operation from moving land vehicles (parked vehicles are considered portable, not mobile), "slant marine mobile" ("/MM") used from boats and ships in the ocean (boats in inland waters are considered mobile, like land vehicles, not marine mobile), and "slant aeronautical mobile" ("/AM") used from aircraft in flight. (Do not operate an amateur radio station on a boat, ship, or aircraft without permission from the captain or pilot in command.)

== FCC ==

The '''Federal Communications Commission''' ('''FCC''') is the telecommunications regulator for the United States. One of its many purposes is to issue [[amateur radio license]]s. However, it does not conduct license exams; [[volunteer examiners]] give the exams and send the results to the FCC, which issues the license and [[#Call sign|call sign]].

== High-Speed Multimedia ==

A '''High-Speed Multimedia''' (HSMM) network is a [[digital]] computer network using WiFi protocols running on amateur radio [[microwave]] frequencies. Most networks use off-the-shelf consumer WiFi routers with modified software and external antennas. HSMM networks allow basically any software that works over the Internet to be used over amateur radio, although there are restrictions based on FCC regulations. There is currently no HSMM network in the Brookings area, but there are some plans to build one in Crescent City which would likely include at least part of Brookings.

== HT ==

[[File:Baofeng_UV-5RA_DSC_2497w.jpg|thumb|A Baofeng UV-5RA, a popular model of HT|200px|right]]
An '''HT''' ('''handheld transceiver''') is a handheld, battery-operated [[amateur radio]] [[Glossary#Transceiver|transceiver]]. Virtually all HTs are low-power (typically 8 watts or less) [[VHF]] and/or [[UHF]] radios.

== Packet Radio ==

'''Packet radio''' is a [[digital]] system that creates computer networks using radio links. [[APRS]] is a popular use of packet radio.

== Phone ==

'''Phone''' refers to any means of sending voice signals over radio, including analog modes such as [[SSB]], [[FM]], [[AM]] and digital modes such as [[DMR]] and [[FreeDV]].

Of course, it can also refer to a regular telephone; [[Android]] phones and [[iPhone]]s can both be used for amateur-radio-related purposes.

== QSO ==

A '''QSO''', also known as a '''contact''', is any communication in which two amateur radio stations exchange their call signs and at least one other piece of information, such as locations or [[R-S signal report|signal reports]]. The term "QSO" originates from the [[Q code]], a system of abbreviations originally used to shorten Morse code communications.

== S meter ==

[[File:ICOM_IC-732_S-Meter.jpg|thumb|An S-meter from an ICOM IC-732 transceiver|200px|left]]
An '''S meter''' shows the strength of a radio signal on a scale of 1 to 9; often, it indicates signals stronger than S9 with labels such as "+20dB", which indicates 20 dB above S9. One '''S-unit''' typically equals 6 dB. S meters are named after the strength component of an [[R-S signal report]].

== Sound Card ==

A '''sound card''' is a computer peripheral device that encodes and decodes audio signals. They can be built into the computer or connected externally by USB. The [[SignaLink]] is a special sound card designed to connect to ham radio transceivers for [[digital]] modes such as [[FT8]] and the [[Fldigi]] modes.

== Transceiver ==

A '''transceiver''' is a radio device that can both transmit and receive signals. Most ham radios are transceivers.

Repeater

2025-08-10T22:56:04Z

KJ7RRV:

A '''repeater''' is a combination of a [[receiver]] and a [[transmitter]] that receives a signal and retransmits it, so that signals can cover longer distances. A repeater sited at a high elevation can allow two stations, otherwise out of line-of-sight propagation range of each other, to communicate. In addition to amateur radio, repeaters are used in commercial and government mobile radio systems.

The repeater receives on one radio frequency (the "input" frequency), demodulates the signal, and simultaneously re-transmits the information on its "output" frequency. (When a single frequency is given for a repeater, it is the output frequency.) All stations using the repeater transmit on the repeater's input frequency and receive on its output frequency. Since the repeater is usually located at an elevation higher than the other radios using it, their range is greatly extended.

Because the repeater both transmits and receives the same time, isolation must exist to keep the repeater's transmitter from degrading its own receiver. If the repeater's transmitter and receiver are not isolated well, the transmitter will "desensitize" the receiver, causing the repeater to interfere with itself. The problem is similar to being at a rock concert and not being able to hear the weak signal of a conversation over the much stronger signal of the band. Typically, repeaters use sets of filters (called duplexers) to avoid this. Stations using the repeater do not need these expensive filters because they do not transmit and receive simultaneously.

Amateur repeaters in the [[2 meter band]], the most commonly used [[VHF]] [[band]], usually use a 600 kHz (0.6 MHz) separation. In the 1.25-meter band (another VHF band, rarely used), a 1.6 MHz separation is used. In the 70 cm band, the most widely used [[UHF]] band, a 5 MHz separation is most common, and in the 902–928 MHz band, another UHF band, a 25 MHz separation is used.

KJ7RRV:

This page is about the '''history''' of [[PBARC]]. It is currently not organized in any particular way, and is mostly a collection of miscellaneous facts. The main focus is events from before the [[old site|old Web site]] was set up in late 2014. If you have information you would like to add, please edit this page or email Sam Sloniker KJ7RRV ([mailto:sam@kj7rrv.com sam@kj7rrv.com]).

The club was founded by Dick K7VPL (SK) and Polly ex-N7SJH Keusink. (Source: emails from Mindy Hamilton W7ZAP and Katherine Davies ex-KF7WIB to Sam KJ7RRV)

The club's logo was designed at some point before February 2014 (the earliest [[Sparks]] issue found so far) by local artist Buzz Stewart. The Sparks newsletter was published quarterly from January 1995 to November 2014. Until May 2011, Polly Keusink ex-N7SJH. After this time, Mike Rice KF7VZZ took over publication. He moved to Port Angeles, WA, but continued writing Sparks remotely. After he moved, Bob ex-W7VN and Lorraine ex-W7RFC Wilkinson took over the printing. They began writing Sparks as well in May 2013. After the last issue of Sparks in November 2014, the club transitioned to its [[Old site|first Web site]]. At the 2014 annual meeting, the Board and members voted to establish the club as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. Prior to this date, the club was not incorporated. (Source: November 2014 Sparks)

The club's amateur radio license was issued on March 4, 2013, with the call sign KG7BQP. On May 21, 2013, the current call sign, W7BKG, was issued. Larry KE7YUI has been the trustee since the license was issued.

June 2023 Resolution on Web Hosting

2025-08-09T22:47:11Z

KJ7RRV:

The following resolution establishing the current [[site policies|policy]] for hosting of the [[PBARC Wiki]] and an archive of the [[old site]] was passed unanimously at the June 2023 monthly [[meetings|meeting]]. It was originally implemented, but the sites are now hosted on Sam Sloniker KJ7RRV's ([mailto:sam@kj7rrv.com sam@kj7rrv.com]) personal server. Thus, the club is no longer paying for hosting.

== Resolution ==



'''PELICAN BAY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB'''

'''RESOLUTION ON WEB HOSTING'''

WHEREAS, the current server used for the PBARC Wiki is also used for several other tasks, which sometimes consume most of the resources of the server, and

WHEREAS, the wiki often becomes unusable when these tasks run, and

WHEREAS, obtaining a separate server for the club would substantially improve the reliability and performance of the wiki at relatively low cost, and

WHEREAS, any edits made to the wiki on the old server during the migration to the new one would be lost in the migration process,

Now, therefore, be it RESOLVED by the Pelican Bay Amateur Radio Club, to purchase a Virtual Private Server (VPS) from Advanced Internet Technologies ([https://ait.com AIT.com]) with the latest version available of the Debian operating system for an amount not to exceed $10 per month,

And be it further RESOLVED, to transfer the wiki and the archive of the old web site to this server as soon as possible,

And be it further RESOLVED, before beginning the migration process, to prevent any further edits from being made to the wiki on the old server.

''Approved by the membership at the Jun 2023 monthly meeting on June 30, 2023.''

Glossary

2025-06-30T21:11:02Z

KJ7RRV: /* Call Sign */

This is a '''glossary''' of common amateur radio terms. If you can't find the term your looking for, try the search bar above; terms for which we have complete articles are not listed here.

== Band ==

A '''band''' is a contiguous segment of the radio frequency spectrum. For example, the 2 meter band, the most widely used [[VHF]] amateur radio band, extends from 144 to 148 MHz (megahertz). (Megahertz are a measurement of frequency.) Bands can overlap; for example, VHF itself is the band of frequencies from 30 to 300 MHz.

== Bandwidth ==

'''Bandwidth''' is the width of the [[#Band|band]] occupied by a particular signal. It varies significantly with the [[mode]] in use; an [[FT8]] signal has a bandwidth of about 50 [[#Hertz|Hz]], while an [[SSB]] signal is typically about 3,000 Hz (3 kHz). A WiFi signal has a bandwidth of at least 20,000,000 Hz (20 MHz), far too wide for use on [[HF]] or [[VHF]] bands, but suitable for some [[microwave]] bands in [[High-Speed Multimedia]] networks. All else being equal, a signal with a narrower bandwidth will be received more strongly than a wider signal, but will not convey as much information in a given period of time. Another benefit of a narrower bandwidth is that it leaves more "room" for other operators.

== Call Sign ==

'''Call signs''' are issued to all amateur radio operators and many clubs by the [[FCC]] (in the US) or the equivalent government agency in other countries. They are used as identifiers on the air, and must be transmitted at least every ten minutes in conversation and at the end of the conversation. Some examples of call signs are "K7AGE" and "W1AW." PBARC's call sign is W7BKG, hence the address of this site.

The FCC assigns a "sequential" call sign such as "KJ7RRV" upon passing an exam to obtain an [[amateur radio license]], but a custom "vanity" call sign can be obtained afterwards as long as it meets the FCC's requirements and is not already assigned. In addition to the $35 fee to obtain a license, another $35 must be paid for a vanity call sign.

You may be more familiar with broadcast call signs such as KURY, KPOD-FM, or KDRV-DT; these are also issued by the FCC (or its equivalent outside the United States) for the purpose of identifying a station.

== Contact ==

''See [[#QSO|QSO]]''

== Designator ==

A '''designator''' is a suffix (or sometimes prefix) added to a call sign and separated with a "/" character (spoken as "slash" or "slant" on [[phone]] modes). Common designators include "slant portable" ("/P" on [[digital]] and [[CW]]), used to indicate an operation away from one's home station, "slant mobile" ("/M"), used for operation from moving land vehicles (parked vehicles are considered portable, not mobile), "slant marine mobile" ("/MM") used from boats and ships in the ocean (boats in inland waters are considered mobile, like land vehicles, not marine mobile), and "slant aeronautical mobile" ("/AM") used from aircraft in flight. (Do not operate an amateur radio station on a boat, ship, or aircraft without permission from the captain or pilot in command.)

== FCC ==

The '''Federal Communications Commission''' ('''FCC''') is the telecommunications regulator for the United States. One of its many purposes is to issue [[amateur radio license]]s. However, it does not conduct license exams; [[volunteer examiners]] give the exams and send the results to the FCC, which issues the license and [[#Call sign|call sign]].

== High-Speed Multimedia ==

A '''High-Speed Multimedia''' (HSMM) network is a [[digital]] computer network using WiFi protocols running on amateur radio [[microwave]] frequencies. Most networks use off-the-shelf consumer WiFi routers with modified software and external antennas. HSMM networks allow basically any software that works over the Internet to be used over amateur radio, although there are restrictions based on FCC regulations. There is currently no HSMM network in the Brookings area, but there are some plans to build one in Crescent City which would likely include at least part of Brookings.

== HT ==

[[File:Baofeng_UV-5RA_DSC_2497w.jpg|thumb|A Baofeng UV-5RA, a popular model of HT|200px|right]]
An '''HT''' ('''handheld transceiver''') is a handheld, battery-operated [[amateur radio]] [[Glossary#transceiver|transceiver]]. Virtually all HTs are low-power (typically 8 watts or less) [[VHF]] and/or [[UHF]] radios.

== Packet Radio ==

'''Packet radio''' is a [[digital]] system that creates computer networks using radio links. [[APRS]] is a popular use of packet radio.

== Phone ==

'''Phone''' refers to any means of sending voice signals over radio, including analog modes such as [[SSB]], [[FM]], [[AM]] and digital modes such as [[DMR]] and [[FreeDV]].

Of course, it can also refer to a regular telephone; [[Android]] phones and [[iPhone]]s can both be used for amateur-radio-related purposes.

== QSO ==

A '''QSO''', also known as a '''contact''', is any communication in which two amateur radio stations exchange their call signs and at least one other piece of information, such as locations or [[R-S signal report|signal reports]]. The term "QSO" originates from the [[Q code]], a system of abbreviations originally used to shorten Morse code communications.

== S meter ==

[[File:ICOM_IC-732_S-Meter.jpg|thumb|An S-meter from an ICOM IC-732 transceiver|200px|left]]
An '''S meter''' shows the strength of a radio signal on a scale of 1 to 9; often, it indicates signals stronger than S9 with labels such as "+20dB", which indicates 20 dB above S9. One '''S-unit''' typically equals 6 dB. S meters are named after the strength component of an [[R-S signal report]].

== Sound Card ==

A '''sound card''' is a computer peripheral device that encodes and decodes audio signals. They can be built into the computer or connected externally by USB. The [[SignaLink]] is a special sound card designed to connect to ham radio transceivers for [[digital]] modes such as [[FT8]] and the [[Fldigi]] modes.

== Transceiver ==

A '''transceiver''' is a radio device that can both transmit and receive signals. Most ham radios are transceivers.

Public Service Net

2024-08-21T01:47:59Z

KJ7RRV: /* Net ({{Time|18|45}}) */

The '''Public Service [[Nets|Net]]''' meets every Tuesday at {{time|18|45}} on the {{840}}.

== Script ==

=== Radio check ({{Time|18|30}}) ===
''This is <call sign> requesting a radio check please.''

=== Net ({{Time|18|45}}) ===

''QST, QST and good evening. This is <call sign> and my name is <name>. I am the net control station for the Pelican Bay Amateur Radio Club's Public Service Net. This net meets every Tuesday evening at 6:45 PM local time on the PBARC Crown Terrace repeater on 146.840 MHz with a negative offset and a tone of 88.5 Hz. The purpose of this net is to test our communication response capabilities using our Crown Terrace repeater.''

''This is a directed net, so please answer roll call with your call sign. Mobile stations and stations with emergency traffic may break into the net at any time.''

''If you have traffic for the net, tell me at check-in and I'll get back to you following member roll call. After check-in, we'll call for visitors.''

''First, we'll call on our club president, Dave N6UOW.''

...

(If Dave does not respond) ''Does our vice president, Lynn KN7TAZ, have anything for the net?''

...

''The question for tonight's net is, '''<nowiki><your question></nowiki>'''. Now, we'll call the roll.''

Call the roll in the order listed on the roster.

...

''Are there any late or missed members wishing to check in? Please call now.''

...

(After each person checks in) ''Any more late or missed members wishing to check in, please call now.''

...

(After several seconds with no response) ''Do we have any visitors? Please call now.''

...

(After each person checks in) ''Any more visitors wishing to check in, please call now.''

...

(After the last call is unanswered for several seconds, call anyone who mentioned while checking in that they had traffic, if anyone did so. Then:) ''Anyone [else] with traffic, please call now.''

...

(After several seconds with no response) ''One last call, anyone else wishing to check in, or anyone [else] with traffic, please call now.''

(If someone checks in or has traffic, repeat until no one answers)

''Not hearing anything. We had a total of '''<nowiki><number of members></nowiki>''' members and '''<nowiki><number of visitors></nowiki>''' visitors check in. Thank you all for checking in tonight..''

''This concludes the Pelican Bay Amateur Radio Club's Public Service Net. This is <call sign> returning the frequency to regular amateur use and wishing you all 73 and a very pleasant evening. This is <call sign> clear.''

Azalea Parade 2024

2024-05-25T22:21:51Z

KJ7RRV: /* "Hot Wash" notes */

PBARC provided radio communications and traffic control for the '''[[Azalea Parade]]''' on May 25, '''2024'''.

== "Hot Wash" notes ==

There should be a three-way stop at the intersection of 2nd and Easy (and others?) so volunteers do not need to stand in the road to block traffic.

We should consider having a formal agreement/MOU with the city.

The ICP2 frequency should be on 70 cm, rather than 2 m, to avoid interference. Also, antennas should be as far apart as is feasible.

ICP2 does not need to monitor at all times; in an emergency, someone could contact ICP1, then be redirected to another channel (which ICP2 would also use) if needed.

Having all five golf carts is very helpful.

Candy tossed in the street is dangerous, because children go into the road to try to retrieve it. Also, young children being designated to give out candy is problematic; there should be a minimum age or height for candy-throwers.

We should know who is the color guard, and they should be labeled appropriately.

Equestrian groups should be together. There should be someone behind them to pick up waste. Also, skittish horses should not be allowed in the parade.

The radio noise level was low; communications work much better on a single frequency.

At least one marshal should be designated to help with minor vehicle problems such as dead batteries; this person should carry a jump-starter battery. However, the battery must be hooked up and used by the entrant, '''not the marshal''', for liability reasons. '''The club could be sued if the marshal hooks up the wires and makes a mistake!'''

Could we have the golf cart pickup location be the Lutheran church?

Band groups need to keep up with the pace of the parade; they tend to go too slowly and create large gaps.

There needs to be a better tactical call sign for "end of parade route."

At least net control and the marshals, but preferably all participants, should have a more detailed map of the town, showing, among other things, the golf cart dropoff location.

There should be barricades at the intersection of Highway 101 and Easy Street; the police should be aware of potential issues here.

We should have a plan for who will go to pick up the marshals after they drop off their carts; however, this would not be needed if the carts could be left at the church.

There should be someone helping parade traffic from Americoast merge into the parade.

The station at the end of the parade route should give entrant numbers with reports.

Information given to parade entrants should have a focus on safety. Perhaps there should be a short exam that entrants have to take? A video about safety practices?

Should some marshals be assigned to sections of the parade route?

=== For city ===

There should be someone from the city at the Lutheran church for the duration of the parade.
