Well we now have a mast installed at Walthew HQ. A big thank you to all helpers. Unfortunately I could not be there at the installation but everything went to plan with only one minor hiccup.

We have appointed a group to look after the mast and antennas. They will be responsible for the operation of the mast and its maintenance. Phillip 2E0XYA will oversee this group.

Well done to PCG on retaining the Bristol Trophy, winners of the RSGB Field Day. Another great score was achieved in the RSGB IOTA contest from Arannmore Lighthouse. A disappointing turnout by members to HQ to contact PCG on Arannmore. We had arranged a sked prior to the contest start on Saturday, also on the Sunday after the finish. The Sunday was cancelled due to lack of support.

At a recent committee and course tutors meeting, four members have come forward to assist in teaching at Foundation level. They will be attending the January FLC Course. Phillip 2E0XYA has agreed to take over from me as FLC course leader after the January 2017 course.

Thank you to Rob 2E0XRA, Matt 2E0MVR and Slawek M6SQJ for volunteering their time to become tutors.

Bernard G3SHF will stand in for Steve G8YTP as ILC course leader until a permanent replacement comes forward. Both Steve and myself will still be tutors.

Coming up in October 2016 is JOTA. Our services have been requested by a Scout Group in Heald Green. Assistance will be required with setting up the antennas and equipment. More information will be published nearer the time.

National Field Day (NFD) Stockport Radio Society (SRS) has won the Open section of this year's HF National Field Day (NFD) contest, earning SRS the Bristol Trophy for the fourth time since 2011.

The SRS team comprised the members of the Peak Contest Group: Bernard G3SHF; Dave G0LZL; Evan M0TJU; Kieron M5KJM; Pete M1PTR; Tom M0DCG. The callsign that the team used was G3LX/P, the personal call of long-time society President Harry Arnfield who passed away last year

NFD - simply known as 'Field Day' - is one of the premier events of the RSGB's radiosport calendar, attracting CW (i.e.

Morse) operators from all over the UK, who compete either individually or in teams on behalf of their societies or contest groups. It takes place on the first full weekend of June; the 2016 event was held on 4th and the 5th. Kickoff is at 1500 UTC on the Saturday, and the contest ends 24 hours later.

G3LX/P's operating site was Whitegates Field, in the Peak District down the road from Rainow, which is near Macclesfield.

One of the event's rules is that only UK stations can be considered for awards. While that may seem like a recipe for a slow-going contest, NFD is part of 'IARU 1 Field Day', meaning that there is always plenty of continental European traffic to be worked over the weekend.

As part of Field Day's role to prepare radio amateurs for a disaster situation, a requirement exists for competing stations to operate 'portable'. That essentially means being based away from fixed buildings with mains electricity. Shelter - if you're lucky enough to have any - usually consists of tents, vehicles and caravans, with power being supplied by either batteries or generators. SRS had a caravan and a generator, affording the team a relative level of comfort as well as the crucial ability to operate and brew up simultaneously. Another Field Day rule, which was particularly challenging for the equipment-laden SRS team, was the need to do all of the setting up in a 24-hour window before the contest start.

By entering the Open section of the contest, SRS could make use of its trailer masts, onto which were mounted its two Yagis (for the 20, 15 and 10 metre bands) and full-length dipoles (for the MF bands). The team was also able to utilise Internetsourced information on band activity, most notably the DX Cluster and the Reverse Beacon Network. (John Kay, M0PEK, kindly lent the kit to facilitate this.)

6

On the debit side of the ledger for Open section operators, RF at the antenna is limited to only 100W - again keeping with the theme of emergency preparedness, with genuine in-field stations likely to be power challenged. Just to make life harder, only one of the two allowable transceivers can be transmitting at any point in time. Making the best use of the two rigs in this environment requires both of the operators to cooperate closely.

A manual switch, situated between the two operators, ensures that only a single transceiver can produce RF at any given moment. Rarely are the transmitting and receiving requirements of both operators well synchronised, as you'd expect, and 'battles for the switch' can ensue.

When it came to the actual operation, G3LX/P got off to a shaky start: The rotator on one of the masts failed, with the result that one of the transceivers was unusable while the repair work was being carried out (which took about an hour).

That was the only technical hiccup the team had.

Despite the worries about National Field Day being in decline, the number of contest entrants was 42, compared to 37 in 2015. Contacts made by entrants were also up on last year, by 16%. In keeping with this trend, SRS's 2016 QSO total was about 3% higher than 2015's.

A little disappointing was the relatively few opportunities for making contacts on the 15- and the 10-metre bands. This not only limited the number of potential QSOs, but also the average number of points per QSO, given the bonus points granted for contacts on 28MHz. Solar flux, which was a healthy 132 over the 2015 NFD weekend, was a mere 82 for the 2016 event. Similarly, the absence during this year's contest of plentiful outbreaks of intense sporadic E (which facilitates short-distance QSOs on the higher HF bands) put a low ceiling on high-band QSO totals. (An interesting statistic is that only 1.1% of the total QSOs made by entrants in this year's NFD were on 10 metres; the corresponding figures for 2014 and 2015 are 11.4% and 3.8%, respectively.)

on each club

All up, fun was had by one and all, and lessons were learned.

Next year's aim is to be the station with the most points across ALL of the contest categories, entitling SRS to the National Field Day Trophy. For the second year running, SRS was denied the prize by the Brimham Contest Group (which was competing in the 'Restricted' section). Let's hope that trend is broken!

Letter from Arranmore Island

Saturday 30 July saw the Peak Contest Group (SRS’s contest Team) enter the Islands on the Air (IOTA) 24 hour phone and CW contest from Arranmore Island in the Southern Ireland using callsign EJ0SR. 8.1M points were claimed from 2282 QSOs compared with 5.4M and 1731 QSOs last year. While numerically a significant improvement it must be noted that the contest rules changed and we entered the MULT2 section rather than the MULT1 section entered last year. MULT2 permitted the transmission of two RF signals at any time contacting any station. MULT1 permitted one RF transmission contacting any station while a second transmission was permitted to contact only new multiplier stations.

Planning for the event started 12 months ago when we discovered last years venue, a lighthouse on Rathlin Island, off the northeast coast of Northern Island, was found to be unavailable.

Searching around found another lighthouse off the northwest coast of Donegal where adjacent cottages could be rented to accommodate the operating team and station.

Within the lighthouse compound was a large field we could use to erect our antennas including TH5 and Hexbeam antennas mounted on 30ft masts fashioned with the aid of many hours of lathe work from Phil Hodges (2E0XYA) o fit in the clubs new trailer.

While the lighthouse was on top of 150 ft high cliffs the ground rose sharply to the top of the compound requiring 100m of coax to reach each our masts peering over the headland to the east where the majority of our QSOs were destined. The pathway from North through West to South was for most of our stay just blue skies and blue sea.

Our team of six (Tom M0DCG, Pete M1PTR, Kieron M5KJM, Evan M0TJU, Carsten G0SYP and myself) travelled across from Holyhead to Dublin by ferry, drove across Ireland and in and out of Northern Island to catch an evening ferry from Burtonport to Arranmore Island. There was then a 3 mile potholed drive across to our lighthouse located on the treeless and turf covered west side of the island. Plenty of sheep covered the hillsides while lots of seabirds were visible from the site surprisingly only one boat was seen to pass by in the week we were there! Clearly traffic has changed since the lighthouse was built!

8

COMREG, the Irish licensing authority, issued us with a temporary licence EJ0SR for the week we were there. The EJ prefix is used for any station located on a Southern Ireland island while EI is used on the mainland. Though the licence conditions in Ireland are very similar to the UK with a 400 watt max power output, interestingly amateurs entering contests are permitted to run a max of 1500 watts.

Unfortunately our amplifiers could not attain that level of output!

Clear weather simplified the erection of our two masts supporting our beams for 10, 15 and 20m and dipoles for 80 and 40m were cut for both CW and SSB band sections. Evan’s Spider pole was pressed into action along with six radials making an excellent Ground Plane for 80m. A multiband Hustler vertical was erected as far as possible away from the transmitting masts and enabled spotting receivers to be used without too much interference or blocking.

Mobile phone access was very limited from the LH as was Internet Access to gain RBN or DX Cluster spots. Carsten’s Windom antenna used with Skimmer equipment did provide us with CW spots to assist operation.

Our station was set up in the 18’ by 12’ lounge of one of the cottages after all the furniture had been carefully removed. The set up was very similar to that used in our caravan at Common Barn Farm.

On Saturday morning we were pleased to see sked contacts with Tony (M0SAV) and Al (G0ROW) at Walthew House and Christine LA9CSA on 40m – thank you guys!

Last years propagation was such that we were unable to make any contacts with club members. Conditions in the contest were far from ideal with 10 and 15m not showing the volumes we have enjoyed in the past. 20m kept us busy though the early morning traffic did allow some of the team members to get some sleep.

All too quickly the contest ended at 1.00pm local time on Sunday and the antennas and station disassembled by late afternoon in time for us to re-cross the island to yet again retest the quality of the local Guinness. Here it is important to stress that increasing the sample size is to be recommended and will always increase the accuracy of tests if only someone can remember the number in the first place!

Monday was a Bank Holiday over there and when asked ‘What happens over here on a Bank Holiday’ the reply was simply that no one goes to work! However there was plenty of ‘testing’ taking place! Tuesday saw us trying to retrace our steps to Dublin on our first rainy day and indeed this cleared well before arriving in Dublin. We travelled with Irish Ferries on the “Epsilon” going out to Dublin and back on the “Jonathon Swift” and used the Arranmore Blue ferry “Morven” to cross to the island.

My thanks to everyone involved with the contest as for me and I’m sure the other team members it was a thoroughly enjoyable adventure.

New Mast Installed On Saturday August 6, we installed the new mast at Walthew House. Tony, M0SAV, organised the design and purchase of the mast to fit in a very tight corner of the rear car park. The mast was fitted with very few problems — an excellent job.

I would like to thank all the guys who turned up to help Gary and myself to fit the mast in place. Nothing was to much trouble.

Waving goodbye to unreliable Internet Stockport Radio Society (SRS) has always been active in all facets of Amateur Radio activities. Contesting, or ‘Radio Sport’ as it is now known, is the main interest of SRS’s Peak Contest Group (PCG), a team of enthusiasts who are very active in national and worldwide competitions.

To be successful in competition requires reliable equipment as well as experience to outperform other stations. However, in this age of information technology, this alone won’t give you that winning edge to make every possible contact. Having information about solar and propagation conditions is a key factor in being successful, though to get the information you need a reliable Internet connection, which is not always possible at remote sites.

When we moved our contest site from our farmhouse location to a remote open field we lost the WiFi connection and had to use 3G or GPRS. This was very unreliable with sometimes no connection wasting precious time trying to restore the link during the contest.

A solution was found when a club member suggested we contact Wavesight a UK manufacturer of data communications products.

After a couple of phone calls to their Senior Wireless consultant, Tom Connolly a site visit was arranged.

Tom was extremely helpful and wasted no time in mounting a Waveflow device on a nearby building and connecting to a reliable broadband connection. With the other device mounted on a pole outside our radio station some way off in the middle of a remote field he completed the configuration to give us a reliable 2Mbs link. The bandwidth only limited by what was available by the broadband connection but it is a vast A Wavesight Transceiver Improvement over the unreliable 150kbps 3G link.

It’s well made and of rugged construction to withstand being buffeted by the unforgiving elements we endure on that exposed site. Let’s hope this is the end of our unreliable Internet connection.

SRS’s Peak Contest Group is indebted to Wavesight for the loan of the equipment, especially to Tom who took the time and trouble to travel to our contest site to advise us on mounting the devices and setting up the connection.

1. Secure the pivot point (base post or base plate) 2. In the same manner as shown, install the guy pegs in to the ground with the top sloping away from the pivot point 3. Attach the antenna or mast to the pivot point and lay on the ground past guy peg 3 4. Attach all guy ropes to the mast or antenna 5. Attach and tighten appropriate bottom ropes to guy pegs 2 & 4 6. Measure and tighten the bottom guy rope that will go to Guy peg 3 to guy peg 4.

Once measured and tightened, remove from guy peg 4 and loop over guy peg 3.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 with the top guy ropes. You should be left with unmeasured top and bottom ropes for guy peg 1.

8. With ropes tight on guy pegs 2 and 4 and measured ropes placed loosely on guy peg 3, have one or two persons hold the remaining ropes and stand past guy peg 1.

9. One (tall) person lift the top of the antenna or mast above their head and begin slowly walking the mast up hand over hand and walking slowly towards the pivot point.

10. The other person must watch the mast or antenna and pull the correct ropes in time, it is important that the top rope is raised slightly before the bottom rope as the top rope can actually start to pull the top back towards the ground if not pulled in the correct order., measure and attach the pulling ropes to guy peg 1, bottom rope first, then the top.

HF Ladder Summary as at 1 September 2016 The latest two leader board snapshots conveniently took place in the last few days and at the end of May, allowing us to get an accurate picture of HF Ladder activity over the summer period.

Participants made good use of the warmer weather – and the sporadic E – to boost the aggregate slots’ total by 39%, with this expansion being led by the WARC bands and six metres.

Barry VK2BJ, in suburban Sydney, remains way out in front, on 737 slots. In fact, nearly half of the slots earned during the (northern-hemisphere) summer belong to him. Evan M0TJU and Bernard G3SHF – both pushing passed Mike M6MPC – now occupy second and third places, respectively. Alan G0ROW and Ray M1REK also used the past three months to dramatically increase their slots’ totals and, consequently, their leader board rankings; they now occupy the respective fifth and sixth places.

Summertime means sporadic E (‘Es’) propagation, allowing six metres to come alive and be usable by even QRP stations.

Unfortunately, 2016’s Es season proved a bit disappointing, given that there were relatively few outbreaks of atmospheric ionisation at the levels needed to support signals north of 50MHz. Still, when the sun shone, hay was made: Graham G0ZOD had chalked up 21 slots on six by the end of August.
