Dayton Looks Skyward for 2021 Awards
While there won’t be an in-person Dayton Hamvention® this year,
the Hamvention Awards Committee continued its tradition of hon-
oring the achievements of outstanding amateurs, and three of its
four 2021 awardees have their heads in the stars … literally!
This year’s Amateur of the Year is Angel Vazquez, WP3R, Head
of Telescope Operations at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto
Rico. In addition to his many ham radio activities associated with
the observatory, such as using the big dish antenna for a moon-
bounce effort in 2010, Angel also provided emergency communi-
cations for area families every day for eight weeks after Hurricane
Maria in 2017. He is currently deeply involved in plans to rebuild
the main radiotelescope at Arecibo following its collapse last year.
The 2021 Technical Achievement Award goes to “the Space
Weather Woman,” Dr. Tamitha Mulligan Skov, WX6SWW. Skov
is a research scientist for The Aerospace Corporation, teaches
space weather forecasting at Millersville University and has a
weekly video podcast. A ham since 2018, she has also spoken
at various hamfests and club meetings.
Wes Lamboley, W3WL, is this year’s recipient of Dayton’s
Special Achievement award. A veteran of the aerospace indus-
try, Wes has been a ham for more than 65 years. He was rec-
ognized for what the awards committee described as “his life-
time high-energy support for the science and art of amateur radio
(including) youth coaching membership recruiting, and techni-
cal problem assistance.” He has also been an active DX-
peditioner, taking part in five Southwest Ohio DX Association
“DXpeditions of the Year.”
The Club of the Year Award for 2021 goes to Virginia’s Vienna
Wireless Society, which has grown to be the largest and most
active amateur radio club in the Washington, DC area. Its pub-
lic service work includes providing communications for the annu-
al Marine Corps Marathon and being part of the presidential inau-
guration security team.
The Hamvention committee did not indicate where or when this
year’s awards will be presented. The Hamvention itself has been
cancelled this year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
ARRL Tells FCC There Are Enough VECs
Responding to an FCC Public Notice in January seeking com-
ment on the possible expansion of the volunteer examining
program to add new Volunteer Examiner Coordinators (VECs),
the ARRL said the program is working just fine with the 14
VECs currently administering amateur license exams and that
adding more would make more work for the FCC staff and
“raise the potential for abuse and fraud.” According to the ARRL
Letter, the League’s comments noted that exam opportunities
continued to be plentiful even during the COVID-19 pandem-
ic, and suggested that “(i)nstead of increasing the number of
VECs, we would encourage volunteers to become accredited
as VEs (volunteer examiners) and to … help the current VECs
wherever possible.” ARRL-VEC is the largest of the 14 current
VEC organizations.
Spacewalk Planned to Try to Get ISS Ham
Station Back on the Air
One of the two amateur radio stations aboard the International
Space Station has been off the air since late January, after the
crew replaced a decade-old feedline during a spacewalk. The
new cable, it appears, doesn’t work. The Amateur Radio on the
International Space Station (ARISS) program has been working
with officials from NASA and the European Space Agency to try
to resolve the problem with the Columbus module ham rig. At
our issue deadline, a second spacewalk was planned for March
13th to reconnect the old cable, which had been working fine.
ARISS contacts with schools and other groups have continued,
using the ham station in the ISS Service Module.
www.cq-amateur-radio.com
Temporary Field Day Rules to Continue for 2021
The ARRL has extended its pandemic-induced changes to Field
Day rules through the 2021 event, but has added power limits
to certain home station categories. The ARRL Letter reports that
in 2021, Class D (home) stations may again work all other Field
Day stations for credit (including other Class D stations), but will
be limited to a power output of no more than 150 watts PEP.
The power limit will also apply to home stations using emergency
power (Class E). This year’s Field Day will be held on the week-
end of June 26-27th.
YOTA Groups Moving Ahead Cautiously
on Events; YHOTY Nominations Open
The American Youth on the Air (YOTA) group accepted applica-
tions for its COVID-delayed summer camp for a three-week peri-
od in March, but was waiting until sometime in April to announce
whether this year’s camp would be held as scheduled in mid-July.
If all goes as hoped, up to 30 campers between the ages of 15
and 25 will spend six days doing ham radio and other activities at
the National Voice of America Museum outside Cincinnati.
Across the Atlantic, the Region 1 YOTA program was contin-
uing to schedule youth activities for later in the year but review-
ing each planned event on a case-by-case basis as efforts con-
tinue to end the COVID pandemic. According to the ARRL,
program officials will try to make decisions at least four months
prior to a scheduled event, based on national requirements for
pandemic control in host countries.
Speaking of young hams, nominations are now open for the
Amateur Radio Newsline Young Ham of the Year (YHOTY)
award. Hams 18 and younger, living in the U.S., its possessions,
or Canada are eligible for the recognition. Nominating materials
are available at <www.arnewsline.org> and must be submitted
by May 31st. The award will be presented at the Huntsville
Hamfest in Alabama this August. As of press time, the Huntsville
Hamfest committee was planning to hold the event as sched-
uled. (CQ is a corporate co-sponsor of the YHOTY program.)
Pandemic Prompts Surge in Ham Popularity in UK
The social isolation brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic has
apparently resulted in a record levels of interest in amateur radio
in the United Kingdom. According to Newsline, the COVID
restrictions prompted the Radio Society of Great Britain and
other groups to offer online licensing courses that have been
met with overwhelming responses. One group had more than
250 applicants for a class with 100 spaces available. The
increased level of interest appears to apply not only to the UK’s
introductory Foundation Class license but to higher license
classes as well.
Israeli Hams Lose Microwave Spectrum
Amateurs in Israel are losing access to many allocations between
1 and 6 GHz or having band size and/or power levels reduced. The
ARRL reports that country’s Ministry of Communications issued a
new amateur allocation document late last year outlining the
changes. The 23-centimeter band was reduced in size from 60 MHz
(1240-1300 MHz, same as the U.S. band) to 10 MHz (1260-1270
MHz) with a maximum power of 25 watts, available only to Class
A licensees for satellite uplinks only. The 9-centimeter band (3.4
GHz) was removed completely (and is being “sunsetted” in the U.S.
to make room for 5G wireless). In addition, only satellite segments
of the 5.6-GHz band remain open to hams, at greatly reduced
power levels; and the maximum power allowed on the 10-GHz
band has been reduced from 100 watts to 100 milliwatts. (As we
have noted in these pages previously, we must make better use
of our microwave allocations or risk losing them. The situation
in Israel shows what could happen if we don’t. – ed.)

BY RICH MOSESON,* W2VU
Serendipitous Synergy
W
hat does grinding a crystal have in common with
winning the CQ World Wide DX Contest? More
than you might think…
It all started when Lisa Roberts, AL6Y, a protégé of
Contributing Editor Eric Nichols, KL7AJ, submitted an arti-
cle about learning from Eric how to hand-grind vintage crys-
tals to bring them into the ham bands to use with vintage
radios. Interesting article for some future issue, I thought.
Next, I got KØNEB’s Kit-Building column for this month (p.
50), which is focused on the Four States QRP Group’s
“Crystal Spotter,” a kit you can build to tune your receiver to
the exact frequency of a crystal-controlled transmitter
(nowadays generally QRP). Hmmm, I thought, “some future
issue” for Lisa’s article has just become this issue (and you’ll
find her article on p. 28).
Within Lisa’s article is a link to a World War II-vintage news-
reel-type movie called “The Crystal Goes to War.” It’s all
about how radio crystals were manufactured to help the war
effort (40 minutes of fascinating viewing!). It turned out that
both the crystals and the movie were produced by Reeves
Sound Laboratories in New York City. Reeves Sound was
owned by Hazard “Buzz” Reeves. In the movie industry,
Reeves was best known as the head of Cinerama and for
developing the process to add a magnetic stripe to movie
film. This allowed sound and picture to be recorded and
played back on the same camera / projector, rather than
being recorded separately and then synchronized for play-
back. In ham radio, though, Buzz Reeves was K2GL, owner
of one of the early contest superstations at his home in
Tuxedo Park, New York. Buzz hosted multi-multi (multi-
operator, multi-transmitter) operations under various call-
signs (frequently N2AA) during the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s. He
was the first inductee into the CQ Contest Hall of Fame in
1986 and, in 2006, was inducted into the CQ Amateur Radio
Hall of Fame for his professional accomplishments (which
we didn’t know at the time included manufacturing crystals
for military radios during World War II!).
Not only was Buzz’s station perennially among the top
scorers in most major contests, but perhaps more impor-
tantly, it served as a training ground for the next generation
of contesters. Some of the biggest names / calls in con-
testing today can be found in the operator lists of Buzz’s
multi-multis. Many of those calls also appear in the SSB
results of the 2020 CQ World Wide DX Contest, which start
on page 14 of this issue.
Multi-multis were a rarity in last year’s CQWW due to the
COVID-19 pandemic (see our cover photo for an example
of COVID-safe contesting at W3LPL), but more hams than
ever before took advantage of being stuck at home to oper-
ate and submit logs. The SSB weekend saw a spike in logs
of nearly 20% over 2019’s record number. However, the
number of active countries was down due to canceled con-

8• CQ • April 2021
...this is an illustration of an essential element of
ham radio — no portion of our hobby exists in a
vacuum, whether it’s contesting, kit-building,
QRP, or even crystal-grinding. Everything
overlaps, even if we don’t realize it, and that’s one
of the many things that makes amateur radio —
and amateur radio operators — so special.
test DXpeditions, so competitors needed to adjust their oper-
ating strategies accordingly. The balance between numbers
of contacts and numbers of multipliers is the focus of this
month’s Contesting column (p. 84).
So, through a combination of (minimal) scheduling and
(much more) serendipity, we have synergy between four dif-
ferent articles in this issue, each on seemingly unrelated
subjects. More than anything else, though, this is an illus-
tration of an essential element of ham radio — no portion of
our hobby exists in a vacuum, whether it’s contesting, kit-
building, QRP, or even crystal-grinding. Everything over-
laps, even if we don’t realize it, and that’s one of the many
things that makes amateur radio — and amateur radio oper-
ators — so special. We each bring to the “party” different
interests, abilities and experiences, and then bring them all
together to accomplish nearly anything we set our minds to
do in our shared passion for radio.
Also in this issue is a guide to good operating practices on
FT8, as well as Professor Heisseluft’s annual April visit (we
didn’t have space for it in the issue, but a “CQ Classic” look-
back to the professor’s 1994 article about possible ionos-
pheric propagation on Mars — now confirmed to exist — is
posted on our website under the “CQ Overtime” tab). And
speaking of propagation, NW7US reports that the interna-
tional Solar Cycle 24 Prediction Panel has determined that
Cycle 24 officially ended in December of 2019 and that we
are now more than a year into Cycle 25.
We also have a national survey of Section Emergency
Coordinators in “Emergency Communications” on the state
of amateur radio EmComm today (p. 37), a guide to severe
weather nets (p. 44) and several antenna-related articles.
Plus, we say hello to Trent Fleming, N4DTF, our new VHF-
Plus Editor, and 73 to MF/LF Editor John Langridge,
KB5NJD, whose final column appears in this issue. Thank
you, John, for your contributions to keeping CQ at the
leading edge of new developments and activities in ama-
teur radio.
Finally, our thoughts are with any of our readers whose
homes and/or stations suffered damage from severe weath-
er in late winter or early spring, and to those dealing with
the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go grind some crystals…

Judy Garland a Ham?
Editor, CQ:
I enjoyed the “Hams – Past – Present – Future” article (CQ
Classics, December 2020) but I take issue with the parentheti-
cal remark “Judy Garland is a ham.” Where did that come from?
I’m clearly not an expert on Judy Garland but nothing I have
ever read about her life mentioned her being a ham radio oper-
ator. She was in a movie with Mickey Rooney where ham radio
was part of the plot, but that’s as close as Ms. Garland gets to

W2VU responds:
Hi Rick,
I kind of scratched my head about that myself, since I had also
never heard anything about her being a ham. I wish I could ask
the author but that article was a reprint from 1945 and I’m sure
he is no longer with us (and even if he is, I’d have no way to find
him).
QRP-For-All
Editor, CQ:
Enjoyed reading your short article encouraging QRP in CQ
Magazine! (“Zero Bias,” February 2021) I can not agree more
with what you wrote and it sounds like exactly what I have been
telling my fellow hams in the radio clubs of which I am a mem-
ber. Happily a few have actually started to listen! I have worked
some tremendous distances, as I know you have, running no
more than 5 to 10 watts with simple verticals and end-fed wires!

I like nothing better than getting out into the woods and spend-
ing an afternoon making contacts both with CW and SSB. Don’t
get out onto mountain tops much anymore though (soon turn-
ing 75 and have had a recent hip replacement, but still enjoy
backpack QRP. I am currently mentoring a new ham (my same
age) who I will be showing how to use his KX3 and how to set
up an antenna in the woods!
Thanks again for your article!

Tower Safety
Editor, CQ:
I am a 55-year veteran of amateur radio — active throughout
that entire period. I am a long-time subscriber and supporter of
CQ Magazine and a life member of the ARRL. I am a 50-year
career trained, experienced, professional communications
tower technician. The cover photograph of the January CQ mag-
azine raises great concern with me. In its simple form, the pic-
ture illustrates the enthusiasm of three well-intentioned ama-
teurs working together to install a new Yagi — always an exciting
project! Uninformed amateurs will likely interpret the photograph
as a visual lesson for how such a project is accomplished. To
those of us who are devoted to safety and best practices, it’s a
“what’s wrong with this picture” example for a seminar! Indeed,
the photo illustrates a very typical situation — and that’s the
problem.

So you’ve decided to make the leap and try working DX with FT8 … but
you’re having trouble making contacts. N2SQW is here to guide you
through FT8 operating protocols and etiquette.

Optimizing On-the-Air Practices in FT8

BY KEN GOETZ,* N2SQW

I’
ve recently had the opportunity to
spend a good amount of time oper-
ating the FT8 digital mode. For
those unaware of what FT8 is, this is a
digital communications mode often
referred to as a “sound card mode.” The
creators of this mode are Joe Taylor,
K1JT, and Steven Franke, K9AN. The
FT8 operating mode is part of the
WSJT-X program. It operates using fre-
quency-shift keying and requires only
50 Hz of bandwidth per signal. Either
the computer’s sound card or an exter-
nal sound card is used along with spe-
cialized software to decode the signal
for receiving and encode the signal for
transmitting.
This article is not about teaching how
to set up your hardware or software.
The focus of this article is on good oper-
ating procedures and tips for better
operation of FT8. If you are unfamiliar
with this mode, I suggest checking the
home page for the WSJT-X program or
one of the other tutorials available
online. The WSJT-X home page (which Photo A. This screenshot shows how crowded the FT8 signals can become on

about checking for a clear frequency? If
this box is not checked and you answer
another station who is calling CQ, you
will move to his frequency. Even though
you will be on the opposite time cycle,
there very well could be another station
there. For this reason, keep the “hold tx
freq” checked whenever possible.
There may be the occasional exception
to this, but try to avoid answering the
other station on its exact frequency. I’ve
seen many stations doing this, and the
result is often that they interfere with
each other and no one makes a con-
tact. If you find that the only clear area
to call the station is on that station’s fre-
quency, please do not remain there and
begin to call CQ after your contact.
Doing this only tends to cause interfer-
ence and is not a way to make friends!
Answering CQ Calls
A word about stations calling CQ. If you
see a station on the DX Cluster, or see
other stations calling that station, but
your software is not decoding him, do
not call. Wait until your software is cor-
rectly decoding the station you wish to
contact. This may seem obvious, but
unfortunately this happens far too often.
This is the equivalent to seeing a
desired voice or CW DXpedition post-
ed on the DX Cluster, and starting to call
even though you are not yet hearing the
station. This sounds ridiculous, but it
happens. When you do answer a sta-
tion you see decoding on your software,
please complete the contact. Some sta-
tions will answer a CQ, and then see
what they feel is a more desirable sta-
tion on the air and jump to call them.
Don’t be one of these stations. Give the
station you are calling a chance to get
back to you. If you do not complete your
contact with the first station you called,
that station will still continue to attempt
to contact you while you finish with a dif-
ferent station. This becomes time-con-
suming for the original station, and is
simply not good operating procedure.
Don’t do it.
Power Properly
FT8 is a weak-signal mode, but not nec-
essarily a low-power mode. As in any
mode, you should only use the power
required to make the contact. Using
minimal power is not only good opera-
tion procedure, but an FCC rule as well,
However, this does not mean you
should always be using a very low
power setting. There are times when
higher power may be needed. Unlike
SSB and CW, in FT8 you have an easy

Photo B. Most sound card interfaces have easily adjustable level controls.
way to determine your actual signal
strength. Stations in FT8 receive a real
signal strength report, as generated by
the software. Not everyone in this mode
is automatically given a 59 or 599 sig-
nal report. If you are consistently receiv-
ing signal reports well over 0 dB, you
should consider reducing your power.
The software is capable of decoding
signals as low as -24 dB, so constantly
having signals over 0 dB is simply not
needed. A good way to check your sig-
nal strength in various areas is to use
the PSK Reporter. This can be found at
<https://pskreporter.info/pskmap.html>.
If your signal in the area you are trying
to contact is -20 dB or lower, you might
want to increase your power somewhat.
This is fairly easy to see since your actu-
al signal level is shown on the PSK
Reporter site. Remember, you will have
a true signal report from any station
you contact.
Not having the correct time on your
computer will also cause difficulties in
making FT8 contacts. I’ve seen some
stations whose time was off by as much
as 3 seconds. It is almost impossible to
make a contact with this amount of error
in the time. Do not rely on the built-in
time setting in your computer. In addi-
tion, some older computers tend to have
issues with the time setting either slow-
ing down or speeding up. This does not
seem to be an issue with most new com-
puters. There are programs available to
help maintain accurate time on your
computer. Most of these can be left run-
ning in the background, thus eliminat-
ing something you have to remember to
do. These programs can easily be found
through a web search. Using one of
these is highly suggested.
Streamlining Your Contacts
There are also some items which can
be used to speed up your FT8 contacts.
To help clarify the examples, I have
added “(even)” to transmissions on the
even time slot and “(odd)” to transmis-
sions made during the odd time slot.
This is added only for the purpose of
clarity and will not appear on the FT8
screen. The normal sequence to an-
swering an FT8 CQ can take 2 minutes,
and looks like this:
CQ KC2DMI EM79 (even)
KC2DMI N2SQW FN32 (odd)
N2SQW KC2DMI -10 (even)
KC2DMI N2SQW R -08 (odd)
N2SQW KC2DMI RRR (even)
KC2DMI N2SQW 73 (odd)
N2SQW KC2DMI 73 (even)
KC2DMI must now wait one full time
cycle to remain transmitting on the even
cycle to call CQ.
There are a few changes you can make
to speed up the contact sequence. This
can be especially helpful in a contest or
while operating on a band like 6 meters
where conditions can easily go from sta-

tions being extremely strong to disappearing completely in a
matter of seconds. In place of using RRR followed by 73 in
the next transmitting time slot, the program allows you to
change the automatic reply to RR73. With this change, the
exchange now takes 1-3/4 minutes and looks like this:
CQ KC2DMI EM79 (even)
KC2DMI N2SQW FM22 (odd)
N2SQW KC2DMI -10 (even)
KC2DMI N2SQW R-08 (odd)
N2SQW KC2DMI RR73 (even)
KC2DMI N2SQW 73 (odd)
Again, KC2DMI must wait one time cycle to remain on the
even cycle calling CQ.
This can still be improved upon. This sequence becomes
even quicker if in place of calling CQ you call a station which
was seen calling you during your last contact. The next exam-
ple would be the exchange if KC2DMI saw KC2TGL calling
her while she was finishing the QSO with N2SQW. Instead
of calling CQ at the end of the sequence, the next call would
be to KC2TGL, along with a signal report being immediately
sent. Here is an example:
KC2TGL KC2DMI -14 (even)
KC2DMI KC2TGL R-15 (odd)
KC2TGL KC2DMI RR73 (even)
KC2DMI KC2TGL 73 (odd)
As you can see, the sequence has now been shortened to
1 minute. In addition, the station initially calling CQ (KC2DMI)
is in the correct time slot to call CQ or another station. There
is no need to wait one cycle to remain in the correct time slot.
KC2DMI can now either call CQ or call another station which
was seen calling KC2DMI during the last exchange.
Audio Connections
With regard to the audio connections to your radio, this can
be accomplished with either your computer’s sound card or
one of the many external sound card units (Photo B) avail-
able from most amateur radio suppliers. I first began using
some of the sound card modes through connecting to my
computer’s sound card. It quickly became evident that, while
this did work, there should be an easier way to make audio
adjustments rather than going into the computer’s sound card
settings. Some of the more popular units are made by
Rigblaster, RigExpert, Tigertronics, and Timewave. One
common feature found on all of these is the ease of adjust-
ing both the receive and transmit audio levels. These units
also offer many additional features to be considered.
FT8 Now and In the Future
FT8 can be an excellent mode to use during these times of
marginal solar conditions. Even as band conditions improve,
this will still be a good mode to have in your “tool kit” for dig-
ital modes. Be sure to keep watching for further updates to
the WSJT-X program which contains the FT8 mode. The
authors of this mode have been making improvements to the
program on a regular basis, often adding new features and
better operation. It is my sincere hope that some of the items
presented here will both improve your operating skills as well
as provide greater enjoyment of this digital mode. See you
on the bands.

Surface-mount resistors nearly all look alike and can be
very difficult to measure (to ensure you’re putting the
right resistor in the right spot on the circuit board). K2AOP
offers a quick way to check your SMD resistors’ values.

How to Accurately Measure

Surface-Mount Resistors
BY JOHN CLARK,* K2AOP

T
he accurate method for measuring a surface-mount resistor is called “The
Four-Lead Kelvin Connection.” Current is put through the resistor and volt-
age is measured across the resistor as shown in the upper part of Figure 1.
The important point to understand is that there are four separate connections
to the resistor so that the current connection contact resistance is not included in
the resistor’s measurement. When the DVM (digital voltmeter) is (typically) con-
nected at A and B, there will be an error in the resistor’s measured/calculated
value because contact resistance is added at the two current connections.
To accurately measure
LOW-value surface-mount
resistors, cut a thin (0.010-
inch) slit across the copper of
a circuit board as shown in
the lower part of the diagram.
Connect an accurate 1-mA,
10-mA, or 0.1-A constant
current source across the slit.
Place the surface-mount
resistor to be measured
across the slit and measure
the voltage across the com-
ponent, not the slit.
Calculate R=E/I.
The result is as accurate as
the DVM and constant cur-
rent since this is a true 4-lead
Kelvin connection. Even bet-
ter, if the upper circuit con-
tains a precision resistor and
the constant current is
adjusted so that the precision
resistor’s calculated E=IR
voltage is displayed on the
DVM, then a surface-mount
resistor measurement with
the same DVM will be as
accurate as the precision
resistor. The last procedure Figure 1. Circuit diagram for accurately measur-
cancels any DVM calibration ing the value of a surface-mount resistor. See text
error. for details.

If you would like more details, I have the complete design package available,
including schematic diagram, layout, PC artwork, and parts list for the circuit to
measure 0- to 15-ohm, surface-mount resistors to an accuracy of 0.1%. Just email

Results of the 2020
CQWW DX SSB Contest
“Simply ‘THE’ contest.” – Beppe, IN3IKF

BY JOHN DORR, K1AR

m proud to say that the 72nd edition of the CQ World

I’ Wide SSB contest is in the books. And, what an edition

it was! Just as we had hoped, the sun came back to life
— at least by a small amount. Whether it was the new class
of rookies or seasoned veterans, interest in the CQWW
remained at all-time highs. DL3AO reported fond memories
of his first CQWW contest operation in 1949 as he celebrates
72 years of ham radio this year. Leo, PP1CZ, expressed his
excitement by simply saying, “I love this contest!” And, then
there was the experience of Gio, IK2AIT, who shared his
memory of participating in his first CQWW in 1954 as I1YCZ
in the Trieste Free Territory.
Well, despite the temptation, I managed to get to the sec-
ond paragraph of this year’s write-up before mentioning the
big elephant in the CQWW room — COVID-19. Who could
have imagined the impact that the pandemic would have
on the world’s largest contest? Contest DXpeditions were
almost nonexistent. The huge multi-multi operations of the
past were either cancelled or scaled back to a shadow of
their former selves. And, as has been seen in other con-
tests, with everyone staying at home, worldwide activity
was at record levels with 9,242 logs submitted in this year’s
contest, a 19.4% increase over last year’s impressive total
of 7,742 entries!
So, even with the impact of COVID, we have an exciting
report to share with you this year.

How About Those Results!

With COVID-19 maintaining a full grip on the world’s travel
activity, the general trend for most entries in the 2020 CQWW
SSB contest was producing similar scores with fewer multi-
pliers when compared to last year. It was striking to note that
only one single operator entry cracked the 10 million barri-
er, EA8RM, with an impressive 13 million points, blowing
away his nearest competitor, VY2ZM, by more than 70%.
Speaking of single operators, the impact from limited expe-
ditions resulted in a number of home-based European sta-
tions making the Top-10, a group often reserved for travel-
ing contesters. In the U.S., K5ZD was forced to cancel his
planned trip to V4 and put together another one of his patent-
ed “casual” entries, while using only one radio in the Classic
overlay category that became another winning score for his
contest resume at 5.4 million.
It should be recognized that there were a number of sta-
tions who managed to navigate around the travel restrictions
of last year, such as John, P4ØW, and Yuri, VE2IM (VE3DZ),
posting impressive SOAB Assisted results along with top-
scorer, PT5J (PP5JR) at 9 million.
*Email: <cqk1ar@gmail.com>
Vitor, PY2NY, one of contesting’s most enthusiastic partici-
pants and his impressive antennas.
In the ranks of single-band entries, DF7EE braved airline
travel from Germany, posting an amazing 1.9 million score
on 15 meters from CQ3W. Europeans continued to dominate
the low band results with competition being fierce as home
stations took over the limelight. Perhaps the most impres-
sive single-band accomplishment this year was the amazing
1.6-million-point tally by N2NC, who piloted the K3LR 20-
meter station, resulting in a world-high win. While it was sad
to see the perennial K3LR multi-multi silenced this year,
John’s result softened the blow.
Speaking of multi-ops, a big change for many of the multi
teams this year was a switch to remote operating. While a
few stations continued to operate with appropriate COVID
protocols (check out the W3LPL sidebar story), many dove
into remote operating for the first time. Kudos to everyone
who gave it a try, knowing that the real excitement of multi-

op contesting is the camaraderie that
can only come while being face-to-face.
For the first time in many years, a U.S.
station won the world Multi-Multi cate-
gory with the KC1XX team beating out
PX2A, delivering a 15 million score.
It’s always encouraging to see the
accomplishments of our rookies. This
class of 2020 was led by DL3PWR, who
posted an impressive score of 670,000.
For most of us who are a bit longer in
the tooth, that score is about 669,000
higher than our first Worldwide score.
Well done, Jochem.
There was a tight horse race in the
Classic category this year, with P49Y
(AE6Y) squeaking by P3X (5B4AMM)
by only 6,000 or just a handful of QSOs
at 4.77 million. It’s a reminder that main-
taining consistent intensity of operation
can often make a difference for serious
entries.
In the end, COVID-19 slowed us down
a little. But, the CQWW contest and its
participants have amazing resiliency.
There’s no doubt that the 2021 edition large multi-op stations (who generally
will be even better! work “anything that is breathing”) hav-
ing worked 10-20 fewer countries per
band compared to just last year!
The CQWW is Still a Worldwide

One of the questions that was on every- It’s probably not surprising to very

 CQWW DX SSB experienced a dra-
matic drop from last year. In fact, the
totals were 27% lower (2019 entries –
524; 2020 entries – 385). And, that
doesn’t even take into account that
there were a number of remotely oper-
ated multis this year. Not only has
COVID-19 affected the DXpedition
totals, but we have decidedly moved
towards operating by ourselves (or at
least in very controlled small groups)
until the pandemic subsides. When
looking at the data in Table 2, you’ll dis-
cover that 91% of all entries (excluding
single-band participants) were operat-

How Did You Spend Your Time

Last Fall?
There are many ways to measure one’s
level of commitment to a contest. For
example, you can estimate how much
money you’ve invested (not advisable),
the size of your antenna farm, or the way
you prepare ahead of time. An easier
metric is operating time. As you might
expect, you can break activity into three
groups. I like to categorize them as:
casual ops, serious ops, and the outer
fringe. It turns out that about half of us
operated around 10 hours in 2020

Multi-Operating Under
COVID-19 Conditions
BY FRANK DONOVAN, W3LPL
When COVID-19 cases began to accelerate in October,
W3LPL team members collaborated to develop a plan for
safely operating in the CQWW SSB and CW contests.
Understandably, most of our team members were not com-
fortable operating as part of a large, traditional multi-multi
team during the pandemic, so a decision was made to enter
both contests in the Multi-Single category with a four-per-
son daytime team and a non-overlapping four-person night-
time team. The station was configured in its usual two trans-
ceiver-per-band multi-multi configuration with excellent
in-band receiving capabilities in place.
Ventilation improvements were implemented to bring
a large volume of outdoor air into the ham shack along
with enough velocity to provide air movement through-
out the shack. Multiple 1-kilowatt portable heaters were
installed throughout the shack to compensate for the
cold outdoor air.
In addition, physical changes were made to the stations
to reduce the likelihood of spreading COVID-19 viruses
because our two transceivers per band configurations are
only 3 feet apart, a separation between operators that most
considered unsafe. In response, we used NASA’s proce-
dures for increasing the physical separation between oper-
ators deployed at their space launch and satellite operations
centers by installing floor-to-ceiling, clear shower curtains
between each operator position. This quite effectively
increased the physical separation between operators but did
not impede their team efficiency.
As you might imagine, we also had to modify other proto-
cols that are generally not an issue during normal environ-
mental conditions. In particular, all of our operators agreed
to the following mandatory operator requirements:
• Everyone agreed to wear a mask 100% of the time when
in the ham shack.
• Operators agreed to depart immediately after the end of
their operating shift.
• Handwashing was required immediately after entering
the ham shack.
• When an operator was in the ham shack, he was required
to be operating a transceiver. No standing around to watch
others.
• During the SSB contest, all CQs and exchanges were
recorded, only callsigns were spoken.
• Loud talking or yelling was strictly prohibited. Talking was
kept to a minimum.
• Everyone agreed to no indoor socializing; all socializing
was outdoors.
• Everyone brought their own food and drinks. Shared food
and drinks were not allowed. Our shared refrigerator was
turned off with everyone bringing their own cooler.

 • Our bunk room was off limits, everyone slept at home.
• Operators could take breaks only if they were at least
six feet from every other operator.

Needless to say, this year’s COVID response was a dif-

ferent contest environment for everyone; a different level of
commitment for sure. But, this is the CQWW and the show
must go on! And, on it did.

Even COVID-19 can’t silence Rol, K3RA, while operating

the 40-meter position at W3LPL.

 The Youth Team of ZM4T
BY HOLGAR HANNEMANN, ZL3IO

In the 2020 CQWW SSB contest, we hosted a team of kids

operating from ZM4T. Fortunately, we are COVID-19-free in
New Zealand and our life is normal compared to the rest of
the world. Due to my own health issues, I have limits to what
I can physically do and as a result planned for some anten-
na work to be done the same weekend as the contest.
Our guests over the weekend were Jaidyn, ZL4WW (17
years old); Alec, ZL1HAZ (25 years old); and Saskia, ZL2GQ
(24 years old). We took down a 5-element, 15-meter Yagi
for repair (wind damage) and installed a 3-element, 20-meter
Yagi on the tower for the SA / EU long path. The youth team at ZM4T is hoping for another big Oceania

ileges, transmitting on band edges such
as 14350 kHz and so on.
Cluster spots are among the contrib-
utors to this issue. The tendency to
quickly jump, call, and work a spotted
station has become a standard part of
many operating methods. The advice,
however, is simple. Take an extra two
or three seconds to ensure the station
you’re calling is in your allocated band.
And, if you are looking to establish a run
frequency, make sure you’re “in the
band,” avoiding the temptations of a
clear 7126 or 21349.8 kHz in the U.S.
as an example.
Use of Spotting Assistance as
a Single-Operator
Unlike the recent changes in the
CQWW WPX contests, the CQWW DX
continues to maintain separate single
operator categories for Assisted and
Unassisted operations. We are regu-
larly evaluating this issue but for now
plan to maintain the status quo.
All being said, there continues to be
abuse of spotting assistance tools by a
small minority of entries, claiming to be
unassisted operators. Finding these
cases is one of the most labor-intensive
aspects of the committee’s work.
Fortunately, we have the combination
of dedicated committee members along
with amazing SDR capabilities and
other technologies to sniff out the major-
ity of the cheaters. So, be advised that
claiming something you’re not is a sure
path to being listed at the end of the
results — a “spot” you don’t want with
your callsign!
Signal Quality
To some degree, we’ve all been guilty
of this one — myself included. Whether
we are using a small station trying to get
every dB into our modest antennas or
we’re in a pile-up attempting to work that
needed zone, there is a huge tempta-
tion to “crank up the audio” or use other

The SteppIR Advantage
P R O B L E M S O LV E D !
Yagi antennas are basically single frequency devices that work well only over a very narrow range, typically
0.5% change in frequency. Fixed length yagis compensate by using a variety of techniques, all of which result in
serious degradation of performance, especially in Front to Rear rejection, and added complexity, size, and weight.
Dipoles have a much broader bandwidth but still cannot cover the entire 80m and 40m bands and maintain a low
SWR (<1.5:1). Our patented solution is to simply adjust all of the antenna elements to the optimal length for the
desired frequency with none of the compromises in performance that all fixed antennas require. This is accomplished
remotely using an electronic controller that can automatically follow the radios’ frequency. SteppIR antennas enjoy
optimal performance on all frequencies within their specified frequency range (varies by model), and that includes
non-ham radio frequencies as well!
T H E I N H E R E N T A D VA N TA G E S O F A S T E P P I R :
Create/Modify Mode
The create modify mode allows the user to change the length of each individual
antenna element on all bands of operation -and frequencies outside the ham
bands as well – and then save the new antennas to memory. This can be
incredibly useful to “tune” out potential objects that may be causing interaction
with the SteppIR antenna, or to create your own custom antenna designs.
180 Degree Mode
The 180 degree mode feature is one of the most popular among SteppIR owners.
For our Yagi antennas, this feature allows a user to electrically “rotate” the
antenna from the forward beam heading, to the reverse (180 degrees) beam
heading, with a click of a button – the entire process takes approximately 2 seconds.
Bi-Directional Mode
The bi-directional mode works similarly to the 180 function, except when
enabled, the Yagi antenna will now be operating with gain in both directions –
forward and backwards, simultaneously!
Retract Elements
With a touch of a button, SteppIR antennas can be fully retracted into their
housing, which helps to protect the most valuable part of the antenna during
extreme weather events.
Emergency Communications
5
Many times, emergency communications occur outside the standard amateur
radio allocated bands of operation. All SteppIR antennas are optimal within
the entire scope of their specified frequency range.

audio-enhancing means to give us a competitive advan-
tage. The downside is obvious: Bad audio and / or broad
signals / QRM to adjoining stations that makes few friends
with others on the bands. You may not have noticed, but
the CQWW DX rules call this out (see Rule XII.A that speaks
to unsportsmanlike conduct). The contest committee con-
tinues to look at this on-air behavior and has the tools to
take action as necessary.
And, Finally …
Unfortunately, it’s not very often that I get the chance to pub-
licly express my appreciation for the amazing commitment
that our incredible team of CQWW Contest Committee mem-
bers demonstrates each and every year. There is no doubt
that this team of dedicated log checkers is as good as it gets.
On behalf of myself and everyone who enjoys the CQWW
each year, thank you for making our contest the premier oper-
ating event in all of ham radio, producing accurate and fair-
ly scored results. Our team members include: CT1BOH, José

domestic contests while allowing for some fun in DX con-
tests as well. Tim’s plan was to put up a 90-foot tower with
some tri-banders on it. At that point, my task was to polite-
ly explain to him that our main competition would be N2IC
in New Mexico and WA6TQT in California and that tri-band
stacks would not be able to compete. This early conversa-
tion started the ball rolling, and after months of planning, we
came to the conclusion that three 130-foot towers would get
us what we wanted; a bit of an adjustment from the original
plan.
At ND7K, we now have separate stacks to EU and JA on
10, 15, and 20 meters. And, as of CQWW DX SSB, we are
about 85% complete — at least for now, with a few more
Yagis to go and an 80-meter 4-square being the biggest
remaining projects. I’m happy to say that there have already
been some really big scores put up from Tim’s station and
expect many zone 3 records to fall over the next few years.
While it may seem difficult to be safe during this pandem-
ic, we tried our best as one of the few onsite multi-ops dur-
ing the 2020 CQWW SSB contest. We had the radios well
separated, each op had their own headsets, and we sani-
tized the station during each op change.
Like everyone else, we were pleasantly surprised with con-
ditions on the high bands. Being able to work both EU and
JA on 10 meters during a contest hasn’t happened in this
part of the U.S. in years, so it was a nice surprise with 15
meters also performing above expectations.
We had a great team of guys. Some of us have never oper-
ated together but everyone worked great as a newly formed
team. W6PH was our grizzled veteran putting in lots of hours
throughout the weekend. W4IX was a brand-new team mem-
ber and was able to help with some projects prior to the start
of the contest as well as operate more overall hours than
anyone else on the team. W9KKN was a late addition to the
team, but offered a lot of experience, having been a major
part of our ZF1A team. Not only was he diagnosing issues Here is the new ND7K station that is ready for big-time

Announcing:
The 20th Annual CQ World Wide
Foxhunting Weekend
Saturday, May 8 – Sunday, May 9, 2021

he 20th annual CQ World Wide Foxhunting Weekend even save lives. Most of all, it’s fun. Give it a try, but ensure

T will be held on Saturday, May 8th and Sunday, May 9th,

2021 (but see below). Here’s hoping that it will be safe
to have foxhunting get-togethers by then. CQ doesn’t impose
any rules or offer any awards for this activity. That’s up to
you and the hams in your hometown. Your hunt can be
mobiles or all on foot. Since the primary objective is lots of
participation, we don’t even insist that your event be on that
weekend. Any time is fine with us.
For mobile “T-hunts,” some groups prefer the formalities of
carefully-crafted boundaries, specifications for signal para-
meters, time limits, and so forth. Others are content just to
have one or more signals to hunt. No need for any regula-
tions, they say. For on-foot hunts, use the international rules
<www.homingin.com/intlfox.html> or make up your own. Talk
it up on the local repeater and social media to find out what
your friends have in mind.
Foxhunting teaches an important skill — the ability to find
the source of signals from afar. RDF (radio direction-finding)
is useful for public service and volunteer enforcement. It can
your group has safe fun. See to it that no one can be injured
by your hidden transmitter or by trying to get to it.
Don’t let the excitement of the hunt make you an unsafe
runner or driver. Make sure that all transmitting and receiv-
ing antennas are safe for the eye. Always be mindful of your
own physical limitations and never take chances behind the
wheel or in the forest.
Afterward, write up the results and send them to me at
<k0ov@homingin.com>. The list of information in a complete
CQ Foxhunting Weekend report is posted on my website
<www.homingin.com/joek0ov/report.html>. In addition to the
details of date, location, hiders, and winners, CQ’s read-
ers also want to know what was unique about your hunt
and what lessons (positive and negative) you learned from
it. Don’t forget to include some sharp action photos. The
higher the resolution, the better.
I look forward to receiving your news and photos of mobile
and on-foot transmitter hunts in your locality. Happy Hunting!

Professor Emil Heisseluft reveals role of Lauton Institute in global efforts to
eradicate malaria, and how radio amateurs can help with monitoring and
reporting progress.

A CQ Exclusive: Mosquito Aerial

Denial (MAD) System
BY PROFESSOR EMIL HEISSELUFT*

Long known for its prowess in advanced science and

mathematics, the services of the Lauton Institute were sought
some years ago to assist in the development of a system that
could be used to protect citizens from mosquito-borne
diseases in general and malaria in particular. While the efforts
of Bill Gates and others have been directed toward the

here was intended to clear large land areas of mosquitos that
globally are responsible for more than 400,000 malarial
deaths annually. Only now can the details behind the new
system be revealed. – W2VU

O
h, dear readers, I’m sorry to tell you than an estimat-
ed 228 million cases of malaria occurred worldwide
in 2018, the last year for which data are available.
These cases resulted in roughly 405,000 deaths globally.1
The disease is most commonly spread by infected female
Anopheles mosquitos. Efforts to eradicate the disease have
focused largely on the development of vaccines, and here,
the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation2 (among others) is
making great strides.
But there are other ways to address the problem. For exam-
ple, one method that has shown promise in recent years is
to deny mosquitos access to large land areas, thereby pro-
viding protection to the inhabitants who live there. The tech-
niques used are right out of Star Wars. I am proud to say the
results achieved to date could not have been accomplished
without the help of the Lauton Institute.
Star Wars Technology
Warfighting today takes place at lightning speeds. Not only
do aircraft fly at multiples of the speed of sound, but their
computerized Command, Control, Communications,
Computer, and Intelligence (C4I) systems operate at speeds
unheard of even a decade ago. The fact is, today, most
weapons systems’ decision-making processes are so finely
tuned that they are capable of detecting, tracking, and ulti-
mately destroying enemy combatants in a manner virtually
devoid of the need for human intervention.

The Lauton Institute has a long and distinguished history
of participating in the development and optimization of such
systems. For example, it was to our Institute’s Centre for
Radio Amateur Programmes (CRAP) to which the Israelis
turned when they received their first Patriot missile batter-
ies3 and found their software wanting (see Photo A).
Meanwhile, CRAP was responsible for the incredible suc-
cesses of both the software used in the Austrian Askisker
and Schnaxin anti-missile systems, both of which today are
found in the inventories of countries worldwide. The
Schnaxin, in particular, employs laser beams for both track-
ing and destroying incoming missiles. It is, arguably, the
deadliest anti-missile system currently deployed by any mil-
itary service on the face of the Earth.
No wonder, then, that a major U.S. LED manufacturer some
years ago approached the Institute regarding a joint-effort to
develop a seek-and-destroy laser bug zapper that could be
used against mosquitos, thereby creating no-fly zones cov-
ering large populated areas.
Track-and-Kill Bug Zappers
Attempts to develop an advanced Mosquito Aerial Denial
(MAD) system took a giant leap forward in 2007 when Ventures,
a patent-holding company, licensed an electronic “fence” con-
cept to Lighting Science Group in Florida.4 The concept uses
two laser beams — one in the infrared for tracking and the

A prototype of the device fabricated in

tem in action is shown in Photo C.
One of the major problems that need-
ed solving was the determination of the
pulse length required for the kill laser.
The pulse length could not be too long
or it would blind the system. Still, it had
to be long enough to kill the insect.
Based on modeling by the Lauton
Institute’s CRAP, we determined the
killer beam’s length in time should be
just 25 milliseconds. This isn’t enough
to vaporize the insect, but it is enough
to kill it (see Photo D). You can watch a

Monitoring and Reporting
The effectiveness of a system such as
MAD is only as good as the monitoring
and reporting system that supports its
deployment in large population areas.
Clearly, given the high costs of Mosquito
Aerial Denial systems, it is to a major pop-
ulation centre’s advantage that they be
deployed to high insect-breeding areas
at the earliest time and then, that they be
moved rapidly to secondary areas once
areas of primary mosquito infestations
have been cleared.
To accomplish such monitoring and
reporting activities in the most robust

turned to the institution’s amateur radio
club, YM4XR/OE — Dr. Jerzy Oster-
mond-Tor’s former callsign — and asked
the trustees to form a pilot MAD
Simultaneous Warning And Tracking
(SWAT) system. Here, an announce-
ment went out to hams in the greater
Vienna area on 1 April, calling for their
participation in a citizen science effort to
identify concentrations of mosquitoes
and to relay the locations of these con-
centrations to authorities via the ham
bands. Once the mobile MAD systems
were deployed to the top ten areas of high
mosquito populations, SWAT members
were requested to report observed insect
infestation growth or declines, although
subjective, nightly at 8 p.m. local time.
This effort will begin in June 2021.
Summary
The Lauton Institute has a long history
of working with developers of track-and-
kill missile systems. Here, I have
described the work of the Institute’s
Centre for Radio Amateur Programmes
(CRAP) that was used in the develop-
ment of an advanced bug zapper than
can be used to clear large land areas of
mosquitos, thereby aiding in the global
fight against the spread of malaria. In
Vienna, an area where the systems
soon will undergo beta testing, a citizen
science effort to identify concentrations
of mosquitoes and relay the locations of
these concentrations to authorities via
the ham bands is being led by the ama-
teur radio club of the Lauton Institute,

Few ham rigs today use crystals to set their frequencies … and even fewer hams
know how to change a crystal’s frequency. AL6Y takes us along on her own first
experience with the nearly-lost art of hand-grinding a crystal to bring it into a
ham band, and shares the step-by-step process.

Hand-Grinding a Quartz Crystal

BY LISA ROBERTS,* AL6Y

I
thought it was going to be a typical
Tuesday of helping Elmer by doing
log entries as he proceeded with the
boat-anchor CW contest.
Actually, I’ve yet to have a typical
“work” day (if you want to call it that) as
one doesn’t know what one is getting
into until stepping across the threshold
into the Kasbah garage inner sanctum.
This particular Tuesday was no differ-
ent. I’m not complaining, mind you;
actually I like the variation. But I am
wandering from the subject at hand.
Somewhere in the process of Elmer
(a.k.a. Eric Nichols, KL7AJ) doing some
boat anchor CW contesting while I was
attempting to read an article he wrote,
he asked me if I would be interested in
learning to grind a quartz crystal so we,
meaning me, could change the fre-
quency to a higher one and thus make

it useful for ham operations.
Of course, I said, “Sure.” So off we
trod to the workbench. So much for the
plan of contest logging; besides, the
QRM was increasing.
So Here I Go!
Eric showed me the wonderful assort-
ment of World War II military radio
quartz crystals he had acquired. Each
one had been carefully ground to the
frequency that was stamped on the
crystal housing. How magnificent!
(There is a YouTube video that shows
how these crystals were produced for
military use during WWII: <https://
tinyurl.com/d74mrtwv>.–LR
The particular quartz crystal Eric had
chosen for me to grind down (Photo A)
was in an FT-243 housing, with 6975 KC,
also designated Channel 322 (which
had no significance outside the military)
stamped on the case. Notice I used the
designation of KC instead of kHz as KC
is actually printed on the case. This crys-
tal was chosen because I was to attempt
to raise its frequency into the 7.0-MHz
(40-meter) amateur band.
Anyway, he connected the crystal to
a signal (function) generator and an
oscilloscope, then fed a sine wave into
it. We wanted to see IF the frequency
that was stamped on the crystal hous-
ing was still accurate. Lo and behold, it
certainly was. The frequency readout
on the o-scope was 6975.393 KC..
Seems to be a good match to me.
Then Eric took apart the crystal hous-
ing so we could access the actual crys-
tal (keep in mind I am closely watching
him). As he was unscrewing the three
tiny screws that held the cover on, he
cautioned me to hold the housing
together while loosening or tightening
the screws; otherwise I would have tiny
parts everywhere. I took his advice seri-

ously when it became my turn to take a
housing apart as crawling around on a
concrete floor looking for tiny parts is not
in my user manual, so I made sure I held
the housing together.
Carefully he removed the now loose
cover, gasket and screws, spring, and
bakelite insulator (not all the crystals
have an insulator). Next came the upper
copper contact plate which was attached
and cannot be removed (whew)! Then
he removed the upper electrode, quartz
crystal, and lower electrode. The final
item in the stack was the lower contact
plate which also cannot be removed.
The upper and lower electrodes and
the quartz crystal itself all sit in between
the upper and lower copper contact
plates (see Photos B and C).
To give you an idea of the size of the
plates, electrodes, and crystal, they are
each 1/2-inch square. Each electrode is
made of nickel and is approximately
3/64th of an inch thick with the exception
of all four corners. The four corners are
slightly raised on one side only to accom-
modate the movement of the crystal,
lying on top of them, as it resonates. In
order to get the fine measurements for
this article, I resorted to a digital caliper.
The actual thickness of the electrodes
are 0.0510 inches and 0.0515 inches at
the corners or, if you prefer: 0.0510 inch-
es = 3.264/64 inches and 0.0515 inches
= 3.296/64 inches. The finished crystal
thickness after the grinding was done
was 1/64 of an inch (see Figure 1).

Let the Grinding Begin!

Now that it is all apart, it is time to begin
the grinding process. So Eric got out his
pumice hand cleaner, placed a small
dab on a square piece of glass and
instructed me how to grind the crystal
down by using a figure-8 pattern. The
pumice hand cleaner is the same stuff
you’d use to clean your hands with after
you’ve worked on your car.
He also tells me I have to do each set
of diagonal corners 100 times, then
move my fingers to the other two diag-
onal corners on the same side and
begin again. Of course, when I am fin-
ished with side one, I have side two on
which to do the same.

A Non-Metallic Amateur Antenna

n past columns we have touted the exploration of tera-
hertz (THz) frequencies as interesting portions of the elec-
tromagnetic spectrum ideal for experimentation. While
writing about these, we occasionally suggested lasers as
suitable sources. This month, in particular, with the coming
of spring and after careful consideration, we would like to dis-
cuss the use of these devices but not as a source of THz RF
but more as a unique application for use as a clever non-
metallic amateur vertical antenna. You might think this
strange but read on!
A normal laser, such as is easily available to any experi-
menter, is present in numerous pointing devices, electronic
components that are readily purchased from many distribu-
tors, and even devices that can be salvaged from discarded
CD players or disk drives (more on these in a moment). All
of these lasers are interesting devices but not what neces-

When a high-power laser — and I mean one with watts of
output, not milliwatts — operates, the beam is visible due to
the fact that it actually ionizes the air within its output beam.

 EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS
BY STAN BROADWAY,* N8BHL

Snapshot: The State of EmComm Today

A CQ Magazine National Section Emergency Coordinator Survey

I
s amateur radio still at the forefront
of emergency and public service
communications? During the “great
flood” of 1913 that devastated many
areas of the Midwest (see photo), it was
reported that a teenaged radio ama-
teur, Herbert Ackerberg, used his spark
gap radio station in Columbus, Ohio, to
contact a commercial radio station and
request help reporting “men are hang-
ing on trees” with major devastation.
Since this first recorded use of amateur
radio in a disaster, our service has been
proven over and over to be that first
voice heard.
In the wake of tsunamis, earthquakes,
and hurricanes, amateur radio opera-
tors worldwide have exhibited the skills
and equipment to establish communi-
cation from stricken areas. It is normal
that an amateur operator would be
heard first from those areas. At least A major flood in Columbus, Ohio, in 1913 resulted in the first recorded use of

Emergency Service), either alongside
ARES or in place of ARES; 22.5% (9
sections) show Auxcomm as a lead ser-
vice. Remember, several answers
could be made by one section here, so
it’s not “either-or”. I believe this does
show the “other services” like RACES
and Auxcomm (which is carefully
defined NOT to be an exclusive ama-
teur radio service) are taking more of
the spotlight.
Question 2: How many volunteers are
registered in your ARES program?
Table 2 shows the results. I wish I
could find some historical data here, to
see whether nationally the number of
ARES registered volunteers is steady
or declining. The majority of sections
(21) claim fewer than 400 volunteers,
while 13 claim from 400 to 800. Only two
answered more than 1,200. Again, it
would be interesting to find what mem-
bership averaged, say, 20 years ago.
We’re left to speculate. My guess is the
numbers are going down.
What is the primary form of amateur radio service in your section?
(Select all that apply)
Table 1
38 • CQ • April 2021
Question 3: Does your section ARES
service require NIMS / ARRL / Other
training? (Check all that apply)
Table 3 shows the results. Again, this
can be a multiple-answer response so
it’s not one versus another. There is
great discussion in amateur circles
about the need for training. Only 70%
of the respondents require NIMS
(National Incident Management Sy-
stem) training. This training, whether
required or voluntary, typically includes
the Federal Emergency Management
Agency’s ICS100, 200, 700, and 800
courses as the basic foundation for the
Incident Command System (ICS). The
ARRL’s EmComm courses made a
strong second, with 55% of sections
requiring some form of ARRL course.
Five sections (12.5%) listed the highly-
rated Auxcomm course as required,
and nine respondents (22.5%) reported
they do not specifically require any
training.
One of the challenges facing SECs is
to demonstrate that their volunteers are
trained up to standards so they are able
to understand and participate knowl-
edgably in command scenarios.
Question 4: Does your state EMA con-
sider amateur radio essential in their
emergency activations?
Table 4 shows the results. To me, this
is the most critical question in deter-
mining our stature with emergency part-
ners. We can recruit, we can train, we
can exercise; but if the state agency in
charge of emergency response (typi-
cally the EMA, short for Homeland
Security / Emergency Management
Agency) doesn’t call, we don’t get to
play.
We’re asking SECs about their own
program stature here, we hope to ask
the same question of state partners. It
might be an interesting comparison.
While ARES is the premier offering in
question 1, the majority of respondents
(38.5%, 15 respondents) tell us RACES
is more essential to their state. Twelve
respondents (30.8%) report ARES as
the essential call. However, 25.6% (10)
tell us that amateur radio is “not gener-
ally” considered essential. Two sec-
tions report the section uses other gov-
ernment-based systems. I placed that
answer as an option because there are
a few sections that don’t use amateur
radio at all as part of their state re-
sponse, favoring instead government-
related systems such as SHARES or
other FEMA-type services. In those
states, amateur radio itself isn’t request-
ed at all.
The question, then, is why? Are we
watching an overall decline in our use-
fulness to state partners? Are in-place
commercial systems (digital voice radio
networks, other commercial systems)
being relied on more than in the past?
Are state agencies going without a
backup to these systems? Has amateur
radio failed to offer the kind of service
the state agencies require now? I can’t
answer those questions, and this snap-
shot can’t answer them. We can raise
the questions and wonder what it
means to the future of amateur radio.
Question 5: What level of service does
ARES contribute to your agency’s activ-
ity? (There can be multiple answers
here)
With the above questions in mind, we
probed for a little more insight into what
SECs can show us about how their part-
ner agencies regard amateur radio.
Table 5 shows the responses. “ARES
is regularly invited to exercises, events,
training” is one positive indicator. It
shows ham radio to be considered an

 tion takes place. So the second answer,
Does your state EMA consider amateur radio essential in their emergency
“ARES is automatically activated during
activations? emergencies,” is perhaps the most
important. Only seven SECs (17.5%)
place their service in this category. The
highest percentage (21 sections or
52.5%) report that “ARES provides
other services on a regular basis (assist
with training, readiness nets, etc.)” This
is more an indicator of our continued
preparedness but can be reflected by
how often an agency uses us.
The lower two levels of stature “ARES
is occasionally requested for special
exercises / events only” with 12 respon-
dents or a full 30%, was higher than
expected and indicates agencies could
be less than enthusiastic about amateur
radio. The lowest answer, “Amateur
radio is not used as such in favor of other
services” was selected by five sections
(12.5%). These two together tell us
42.5%, or 17 sections, are not in a favor-
able position with their state emergency
management agencies. This does NOT
mean SECs aren’t doing their jobs, it
could mean the agencies like those
above are more dependent on their own
systems to the detriment of backup sys-
tems such as amateur radio. Perhaps
we can use these answers as a bench-
Table 4 mark to re-sample a year or more in the
future to produce a more realistic pic-
What level of service does ARES contribute to your agency’s activity? ture of amateur radio’s stature.
(There can be multiple answers here)
Question 6: What are your main con-
cerns for the future of ARES? (Select all
that apply)
Now we switch focus from how we
think our agencies regard amateur
radio to what some of the challenges
are which face SECs. Society in gen-
eral has produced many who don’t
have that “service to community” mind-
set, forcing volunteer organizations of
all descriptions to deal with reduced
numbers of members. ARES (and by
extension amateur radio in general)
isn’t immune. In fact, the number of
responses to different answers shows
SECs recognize we have some major
problems to deal with.
Table 6 shows the spectrum of con-
cerns with a concern for recruitment and
retention of volunteers the highest issue
(26 sections or 65%). Another issue that
will generate hot debate is training and
certification. SECs in 24 sections (60%)
report their volunteers aren’t interested
in training. Twenty-two sections (55%)
couple that to general apathy on the part
of volunteers, who just “don’t want to”
anymore. Perhaps some of that lethar-
gy can be attributed to the degrading

words, physically aging out of the pro- What are your main concerns for the future of ARES? (Select all that apply)
gram. That faces 20 sections or 50%.
Aside from the internal issues we face
in amateur radio, an outside influence
threatens the future of ARES, accord-
ing to 22 SECs (55%) and that is dete-
riorating relationships with our partner
agencies. This is also reflected by ear-
lier questions. But it doesn’t have to be
that way. Consider an answer provided
by Eastern Massachusetts SEC Rob
Macedo, KD1CY:
“Adapting the mission and not waiting
for all else fails — our agencies view
amateur radio’s main support in situa-
tional awareness / disaster intelligence
/ weather spotting / damage reporting
during large storms / severe weather.”
There can be a number of positive steps
we take for our agencies. Much as in
Macedo’s section, we in Ohio have “The
Watch Desk Project” in which amateurs
from around the state provide situa-
tional awareness to the Ohio Emer-
gency Operations Center amateur sta-
tion via a linked DMR / Fusion digital
voice network as well as HF networks.
Participation puts amateur radio into a
key role that boosts our stature and
builds our relationship.

Question 7: Are you satisfied with sup-

port from ARRL?
This isn’t intended to start a fight or
turn into a “hit piece.” Rather, it’s a legit-
imate question since the role of SEC Table 6
(acting in support of county Emergency
Coordinators in their local missions) can Are you satisfied with support from ARRL?
be enhanced by League leadership.
Table 7 reveals there were four levels
of satisfaction, ranging from “very sup-
portive” to “I get nuttin’.” While five sec-
tions were “very satisfied” and only one
reported “no support,” the vast majority
— 34 or a combined 87% — weren’t
impressed with the League’s backing.
It’s not necessarily an indictment of the
League, because until only recently
there was no one in place to manage
EmComm efforts, and existing staff was
buried trying to make do. On the other
hand, many have been in position for
years, and their ambivalence toward
League support may be an indicator
that there’s work to be done.

Question 8: In the wake of “Connect”

being discontinued, what is your gen-
eral feeling about a national database?
Some of the thinking behind discon-
tinuing “ARES Connect” as the nation-
al time and event accounting system
was shaped by strong division over
whether sections liked it. Many thought
it didn’t answer their needs, while oth-
ers became very satisfied with the Table 7

www.cq-amateur-radio.com April 2021 • CQ • 41


In the wake of “Connect” being discontinued, what is your general feeling
about a national database?
detailed reporting that was available.
This question didn’t ask about Connect
itself, but rather we wanted to develop
some data that reflected SECs’ prefer-
ences for a national database. The first
two answers deal specifically with that
discussion, while the last two expand a
bit more on what the current situation is
within sections (see Table 8).
With the dissatisfaction over Connect,
it might be a bit surprising that 57.5%
(23) respondents agreed that we need
an easy-to-use system of quantifying
performance and training. On the other
hand, 27.5% (11) felt that we don’t need
any national system. Twelve sections
(30%) have their own database system
in operation, and only one reported not
having an online measurement system.

Question 9: What is your level of inter-

action with your state EMA?
We doubled back a bit to get more
information about the relationship
between ARES / amateur radio and
state agency partners. It’s a universal
axiom that the key in serving a partner
agency isn’t training or ability, rather it’s
the relationship that’s formed between
Emergency Coordinator and the
agency director. One county EMA direc-
Table 8 tor in Ohio told it this way:
“In any emergency, I may have from
30 to 50 people in my EOC. Within that
What is your level of interaction with your state EMA? group is a sub-group of maybe a dozen
people. I’ve known these people per-
sonally over a long period of time.
Because I can give them a mission and
be completely confident they’ll actually
complete that mission, we have devel-
oped a level of trust over what I have
with the larger group. That’s the kind of
relationship we need to cultivate.”
This question asks for some person-
al introspection on the part of the SEC.
Without condemnation, Table 9 might
show relationship-building to be weak
and something to improve. Sixteen
SECs (40%) say they have monthly
contact with the partner while 15
(37.5%) have little to no regular contact
with people in the agency. Nine more
(22.5%) only interact with the agency
when they call. So a combined 60% in
the survey are not actively pursuing that
relationship as much as they could.
(The days of “call me if you need me”
are long gone. Don’t expect a call. –SB)
There are some caveats here — most
important to remember is “2020!” That
year simply blew our fuses with locked-
down EOCs and almost no normal activ-
ity that might promote a better relation-
ship. Remember this is a snapshot, not
Table 9 a deep scientific study. But the urgency

of maintaining a solid relationship with your agencies can’t
be denied.
Conclusions
This is the part where we have to be careful. This was a sim-
ple, non-scientific nine-question survey. So from a generic
question like, “Do you like driving a car?” we cannot conclude
that 80% of our people are skilled drivers in blue sedans but
only when traveling north. Likewise, we can’t take a few ran-
A Replacement for “ARES Connect”?
With the demise of the “ARES Connect” database, the
ARRL Department of Emergency Management has formed
a working group to determine what elements are needed
for a new data system. The League’s new Director of
Emergency Management, Paul Gilbert, KE5ZW, told the
ARRL membership forum webinar during the Orlando
Hamcation® virtual hamfest in February that the group will
seek information from many different sources. This time,
says Gilbert, it will be something “we all put together.” “We
don’t really know what system we want to use yet, but if you
have a punch list, send me a list of your top five,” said Gilbert.
Gilbert noted that it’s important to first establish a rela-
tionship with served agencies, then be in a position to help.
“ARES missions are changing to where we’re helping agen-
cies with other things.” As examples, Gilbert says ARES
members should be trained in NIMS (National Incident
Management System) courses. In addition, many agencies
expect hams to be able to operate radios in other systems
such as trunked systems and other public safety systems.
dom questions and provide the solution for the next 10 years
of ARES and amateur radio emergency communication. So,
what can we say?
The typical section ARES organization is made up of fewer
than 400 people. They will generally be required to take at
least NIMS training, likely augmented by ARRL EmComm
training. While states may slightly favor RACES over ARES,
the majority are still favorable to involving some form of ama-
teur radio in exercises, events, and training. In 42% of states,
however, ARES is only occasionally requested or amateur
radio is not included at all. Plus, 60% of SECs say they do
not have a frequent or solid relationship with their agencies.
Amateur radio volunteers are getting scarcer and, at the
same time, are becoming more apathetic toward being
involved. While many are getting older with more physical
infirmities, the field of new volunteers, those who will become
the “second wave” in amateur radio response, is dwindling.
At the same time, the ARRL might do a better job in support
of SECs as many are lukewarm toward the League. A major-
ity of SECs would like to see a usable national database for
time and event accounting, although 30% of the sections
have their own systems in use.
Next Up…
Our next effort will be to match our partner agencies with
these same questions — what do they really think about using
amateur radio? Does our training match their standards? Are
they looking in other directions for auxiliary communications
support? Just like these answers have given us a small insight
into amateur radio today, their answers will shed light on the
future of amateur radio emergency response.

other Nature seeks equilibrium
and weather is the result of a
constant battle for equilibrium
or stability. In a way, meteorology stud-
ies weather dynamics seeking stability.
Since our planet’s axis is tilted as com-
pared to our Sun’s axis, Earth’s surface
is unevenly heated by the Sun’s rays.
Consequently, uneven surface heating
contributes to wind, temperature differ-
ences, humidity, and seasonal changes
resulting in weather equilibrium clash-
es we call storms.
Springtime Changes
Seasonal changes make life interest-
ing. Old Man Winter does not easily
relinquish his icy grip as Earth spins on
its orbit toward a vernal equinox. As sur-
face temperatures begin to rise and
warmer air columns form, weather
fronts push these warmer air masses
toward colder air masses. Where these
two air masses collide, severe weather
often results. In the northern hemi-
sphere, flooding, lightning strikes, and
tornadic winds can accompany spring-
time; especially when these air masses
contain a lot of potential energy.
Watchful Eye
As radio amateurs, we participate in and
continue a proud tradition of serving our
communities with our skills and per-
sonal equipment. Weather spotting
goes together with ham radio as many
hams enjoy meteorology and are will-
ing to keep a watchful eye to the sky.
When weather begins to take a dan-
gerous turn, we are prepared to report
our findings to NWS (National Weather
Service) meteorologists, state / county
/ city emergency management agen-
cies, local police departments, and to
anyone listening in on our radio trans-
missions.
OTs (old timers) using ham radio jar-
gon sometimes use the phrase, “copy-
ing the mail.” This means just kicking
back and listening to a radio conversa-
tion without joining into the QSO (con-
versation). There is nothing wrong with
“copying the mail.” Reasons vary from
“I have limited time” or “I don’t have any-

traffic (net related information) is vital.
Hams want to be helpful and they want
to contribute but do so only when there
is valid, pertinent information. For
example, if there is a weather net, you
don’t need to report on the radio that
there is wind or rain at your QTH (loca-
tion); unless the wind is ripping off shin-
gles, breaking tree branches, or worse.
Likewise, reporting rain isn’t important
unless it is producing flooding. Even if
the flooding is temporary, knowing that
a creek is overflowing its banks and
making a bridge impassable, or possi-
bly washing out the bridge, is important.
That information is useful to meteorol-
ogists, local authorities, and fellow
motorists.

focus on the SKYWARN© (Photo A) weather reporting net.
Every net has its own protocols, so it’s a good idea to lis-
ten first. Eventually, the net controller (the ham operator
running the net) will ask for check-ins. Wait for an opening
and then announce your callsign and your location. Net con-
trol will acknowledge you. If net control doesn’t acknowl-
edge you, chances are your signal did not reach the
repeater, another signal covered up your signal, or net con-
trol was very busy. Wait a minute and then transmit your
callsign and location again. This is important because as
the weather front advances, net control will have an idea of
who to call on for reports.
For example, NWS (National Weather Service) meteorol-
ogists (Photo B) may need “ground truth” reports from your
area. Radar indicates a weather-related phenomenon, but
that doesn’t necessarily mean that it is actually happening.
That’s the usefulness of ground truth reporting. If nothing is
happening and your input is requested from net control, then
report it. If you spot a funnel cloud, but you’re unsure it is a
tornado, tell net control exactly what you are seeing. Is the
funnel cloud rotating? Is it touching the ground, or you can’t
accurately tell because your vision is obscured? Accurate
information is of paramount importance. Don’t clutter the
weather net by passing on second-hand reports from friends
and neighbors.
Years ago, I was assisting net control at the St. Louis NWS
office when a ham reported that nursing home residents were
evacuated into a hallway to avoid flying glass caused by a
severe storm. Damage reports are useful to NWS meteorol-
ogists, but in this case the storm wasn’t even in the reported
area. The meteorologist called the nursing home in question
only to find that the action was taken two hours earlier as a
precautionary action as the storm approached the home. The

storm didn’t cause any damage and no residents were hurt.
As it turns out, the ham did not witness the event. Instead,
he was relaying a story from his wife, who heard it from a
friend who knows someone living at the nursing home.
There are several problems with this type of a report. First
off, the ham did not witness the storm-related event. He
reported it as a first-hand account but it was, in reality, third-
hand information. Secondly, his report wasn’t accurate
because the nursing home experienced no storm related
damage. Thirdly, the storm was long gone and the report
wasn’t even timely information.
If, for some reason, you need to leave the net, inform net
control that you need to QRT (go off the air). This is impor-
tant for several reasons. First, it lets net control know that
you’re no longer available for reports. Secondly, net control
will not assume that you’ve been hurt when you no longer
answer radio calls.
What and Who to Report
There’s a lot of information published on what to report in a
weather net. Besides callsign, location, and time of the event,
you should give accurate reports of any severe weather that
may cause damage. If in doubt, report it, but give an accu-
rate description to the best of your ability.
Know your regional NWS forecast office phone number in
case your area does not have a SKYWARN© weather net.
NWS meteorologists welcome brief and accurate storm
reports. NWS offices rely on volunteer fire departments, EMA
directors, and police departments in rural areas. Typically,
these departments are not heavily staffed.
On the other hand, ham radio operators can be found
throughout many rural areas. All it takes is a few dedicated
and informed hams to get a weather net established. Obtain

permission to operate on an area repeater with wide cov-
erage and practice by holding monthly drills to help alert
others to your presence. You’ll also gain valuable experi-
ence and establish a guide as what to report. You or your
nascent group’s net controller should designate someone
to call pertinent ground truth reports back to the NWS office
via telephone.
Success Breeds Success
You’ll be surprised as to just how quickly your group will gain
recognition. Word will spread that there’s a group of dedi-
cated hams weather spotting. Hams will begin to copy the
mail and some may actually learn by your example and begin
to offer storm reports. In turn, they will tell friends to program
their scanners with your area’s weather repeater frequency.
Once you’ve established a reliable, consistent weather
reporting net, let your county EMA director know of your exis-
tence and invite him to listen to your net on his scanner.
Before long, you may be asked to sponsor a Technician
license class. The main point is that not only the ham radio
community, but the listening public will tune in for up-to-date
information and your net will be one more method of getting
warnings out to the public.
Resources
I just picked up the third edition of Storm Spotting and
Amateur Radio by Michael Corey, KI1U; Victor Morris,

ten and comprehensive book that should help you learn all
about storm spotting. I highly recommend getting a copy.

for the PC. The software takes WSR88D radar data from the
NWS and lets the user see it in almost real time. Extremely
useful for weather net control stations. Gibson Ridge also
offers GR2Analyst software. This expensive, but incredibly
useful program, like its cousin GRLevel3, takes WSR88D
radar data, but it also depicts storm rotation, volume, and
height (Photos D, E, and F).
Anytime
Severe weather can occur anytime. It’s not just a warm weath-
er event. Millions of Texans can attest to the devasting power
of icy windstorms and freezing temperatures in February.
That same storm produced tornadoes in southern states.
Reporting ground truth observations quickly aids NWS mete-
orologists and EMA directors with early warning. Increasing
lead time for a warning translates into saving more lives.

 MAGIC IN THE SKY
BY JEFF REINHARDT,* AA6JR
“Dear Hammy” Returns!
I
t’s been quite some time since we’ve called upon that
revered dispenser of (mostly worthless –ed.) advice, so
get ready for another installment from “Dear Hammy.” The
warning to “get ready” isn’t so much for you as it is for the
CQ legal department. So anyway, let’s see what’s been accu-
mulating in Hammy’s April mailbox:
Dear Hammy, I need some financial advice. I have a rather
perplexing question pertaining to attenuating the recirculat-
ing leading and lagging currents that I suspect may be pre-
sent in the 40-year old coax that runs between my new 1.5-
kilowatt amplifier and a scaled down 160-meter Sterba
Curtain which is located on my apartment balcony. But before
I pose this question to a doctor who writes for another pub-
lication, how can I be sure my medical insurance will cover
his services?
– Louis in Lexington
Dear Louie: Check with your medical insurance provider to
see if you’ve met your annual copay requirements, which
may not help you with that publication but could cover the
injuries you incur while transmitting. If you lack coverage,
Hammy suggests you investigate coverage from my broth-
er’s company, “Hammycare.” It’s generally worthless but
available at reasonable prices and it features a very attrac-
tive membership card. And congratulations on miniaturizing
the Sterba. Please submit the design specs to our editor after
you recover.
Dear Hammy, Perhaps you can help our club’s Field Day
performance. Every year, we start out great but as the effort
continues, we get hungry and thirsty. Okay, mostly thirsty.
After consuming liquids from brown bottles, our performance
and logging accuracy seems to attenuate. Is there a way to
stay properly hydrated while maintaining peak performance?
– Brownie in Milwaukee
Dear Brownie: We suggest trying some of the “lite” or “zero”
content beverages. Think of them as QRP brews; less power
but you can still go the distance.
Dear Hammy, I don’t know how to deal with this. I gave my
beautiful XYL a passionate kiss before heading to the shack
for a 48-hour contest weekend. She winked and wished me
well as I was prepared to set a new record score. It all start-
ed well, but after about 90 minutes, the weather turned, and
a severe thunderstorm caused lightning to hit a tree that fell
and knocked out power to my neighborhood. My whole oper-
ation came to sudden end. Completely distraught, I returned
to the house only to find my wife canoodling with the cata-
log shopping delivery guy! To say the least, we haven’t been
communicating on the same frequency since this incident.
What should I do?
– Crestfallen in Kalamazoo
*5904 Lake Lindero Drive, Agoura Hills, CA 91301
e-mail: <aa6jr@cq-amateur-radio.com>
48 • CQ • April 2021
Dear Crestfallen: You could have avoided this whole prob-
lem if you had installed a reliable generator with a backup
battery bank to tide you over until the generator got up to
speed and stabilized, which would have sustained your con-
test transceiver and logging computer through the power out-
age. Hammy also suggests a multi-fuel generator for sus-
tained outages. As to the contest log, perhaps a letter
explaining the situation to the contest manager might result
in an “Honorable Mention” in the published results. And con-
grats on having a reliable delivery guy who brings packages
to the door during a storm. “Porch pirates” have been an
occasional problem in Hammy’s neighborhood.
Dear Hammy, I love contesting on SSB but a few hours into
the event I start to get hoarse, and my output drops. I can’t
afford one of those digital recorders and besides, they always
sound mechanical. Any ideas?
– Fading in Farmington
Dear Fading: Get a parrot. Just don’t leave your radio tuned
to WWV. We made that mistake with our bird and all she
talks is Pollyticks. (Oh, the pain! - ed.)
Dear Hammy, I’m hopping mad about the lack of sunspots
and the poor propagation associated with this phenomenon.
It seems the so-called 11-year solar cycle is caught in a 100-
year low ebb. Surely something should be done to correct
the situation! Who is to blame for this?
– Spotless in San Antonio
Dear Spotless: Check your voter registration. Whichever
party you’re registered under, blame the other one. It seems
to work for everything else!
Dear Hammy,
I have one of those new electric cars. It has just enough range
to get me to and from work each day, unless I use my trans-
ceiver for the commuter’s roundtable. When I participate, I
fall short on making it home by two and a half miles. I then

Dear Discharged: You call yourself a ham? There are sev-
eral easy solutions to your dilemma. The first is a 13,200-
foot extension cord, with one end connected to your home.
Hide the other end in a nearby shrub. Second, see if your
car has a 110-volt outlet. If it does, then just plug your car’s
charging cord into the outlet and the output wire into the car’s
charging port. If that works, you may be among the first to
benefit from owning a perpetual motion vehicle. The third
solution is to put a gas-powered generator in your trunk. You
may then enjoy the benefits of an internal combustion engine

 KIT BUILDING
BY JOE EISENBERG,* K0NEB
Spotting a Rock
T
here are a number of kits that utilize crystals, and some-
times it is handy to test the crystal to see if you can
hear it to test a receiver, or for “spotting.” The Four
States QRP Group has a kit called the Bayou Jumper, a solid-
state replica of a World War II Paraset design. This kit has
a regenerative receiver and a crystal-controlled transmitter.
In order to get the receiver into the ballpark to hear any
responses to your CQ calls, you need to set the receiver to
be where the transmitter is set. Using a simple tester like the
4SQRP Crystal Spotter lets you hear the crystal’s output in
the receiver of your kit.
The 4SQRP Crystal Spotter is a very simple kit to assem-
ble, fits perfectly in a small wooden box sold by Hobby Lobby
and runs on a single 9-volt battery. Assembly is easy, and
utilizes the “Pittsburg” construction method. Pittsburg is
named for the small town in southeast Kansas, home of Joe

Porter, WØMQY, who brought the idea to the Four State QRP
Group. The Pittsburg method utilizes solder pads on the
board instead of the drilled pads through which though-hole
components (thus the name) are normally mounted. This
method allows for very easy parts removal in case of errors
and makes for a nice appearance.
The parts are first prepared by bending the leads so each
part stands off of the board but touches the pads on each
side. The easiest way to place parts on the board is to put a
dab of solder on one pad and use a needlenose pliers to hold
the part while heating that pad. Then you solder the other
pad and return to the first pad if needed to clean it up. Then
the excess wire is trimmed from each part. Always be care-
ful to not have any solder touching an adjacent pad.
There is a low parts count for the Spotter and there are no
toroids to wind, making this a good kit for a beginning level
builder. I spent about an hour building the Spotter and added
a holder for the smaller crystals as per the manual. I bought
strips of machine pins at electronic surplus stores I visited

when I travel and they come in handy for kits like this. Once
completed, it just sits inside the wooden box. Inserting a crys-
tal or touching an FT-243 sized crystal to the larger pads and
pressing down turns the kit on and produces a carrier that
you tune for in your receiver. You can also connect the high
impedance input of a frequency counter to R5 on the right
side of the board to measure the frequency as well. The wood-
en case for the Spotter as well as the Bayou Jumper can be

Bayou Jumper and this kit have used real or replica travel
and airline stickers or radio stickers to make the case even
more attractive.
The Four States QRP Group Crystal Spotter kit is available
from <www.4sqrp.com> for $12 plus shipping. The wooden
case for the Spotter is available at Hobby Lobby as
#299743S. The updated Bayou Jumper is also available
again from Four States and I will be revisiting the kit soon.
(Need to slightly change a crystal’s frequency? See AL6Y’s
article, “Hand-Grinding a Quartz Crystal,” elsewhere in this
issue. – ed.)
Stocking Your “Junk Box”
A lot of hams don’t have a well-stocked “junk box” to call upon
when working with kits or other projects. I have seen good
values on resistor, capacitor, and LED assortments at
<www.jameco.com>. Some of their assortments come in pre-
labeled sorted parts storage containers. Another source of
standard parts assortments is Newark Electronics at
<www.newark.com>. At Newark, look for the 24M1011 resis-
tor assortment as a great example. Eric Nichols, KL7AJ, has
a venture called Alaskit. Alaskit sells things like Arduino-relat-
ed products as well as a resonant speaker for CW audio fil-
tering and a “pound o’ parts” instant junk box kit. The “pound”
is actually 13 ounces in order to meet first class mail rules
from Alaska. The box I ordered from Alaskit amazingly only
took three days to arrive by mail here in Nebraska and was
chock full of a nice assortment of random parts that I sorted
into a couple of inexpensive parts boxes I found at Menards.
These parts are a great way to also seed your new junk box
to keep things on hand for kit building as well as other
electronic projects. Check out Alaskit offerings at <www.
alaskit.co/store>.
Loose Ends
Now to tie up some loose ends. During my antenna and
grounding project I wrote about in the December 2020 and
January 2021 issues, I left off an item that I used to guide my
project along. First off, when installing the antennas, I used
an antenna analyzer that I found to be very helpful in giving
a fast, easy-to-read, measurement of SWR and impedance

the 70-centimeter band. This capability
allowed me to test and tune all of my
wire antennas from 160 to 12 meters as
well as my TH3 tribander, 6-meter
beam, and UHF beam.
Adding things like common mode
chokes can affect the performance of
antennas such as my top-fed 80-meter

and 160-meter slopers, and the Comet
did a great job letting me see where they
were tuned to be able to make adjust-
ments. I also used some very heavy-
duty zip ties to ensure things stayed in
place and coax connections were not
subjected to stresses during rotation.
The zip ties I used were made by Forney
with the product number 62078. I found
these Forney cable ties at my local ACE
Hardware store. They are 18 inches
long, extra thick and wide and UV treat-
ed, making them ideal for holding heavy
coax cables, such as LMR-400, in place
in all kinds of weather. I used a similar
tie but not as heavy when I first put up
a beam on my tower over 20 years ago,
and most were still intact as was the
good quality electrical tape I used for
sealing and cable retention.
Coming Up…
The pandemic has not stopped the devel-
opment and sale of new and exciting kits,
and I will be covering them in upcoming
issues. I really regret having to miss
another Dayton Hamvention®, but I
understand the tough decisions being
made for our health and safety and there
will be lots of great Hamventions in the
future. I am holding out high hopes to see
everyone in Huntsville in August.

The Golden Age of Audio

A Side Trip to the Future

T
his month’s column is a side trip into a couple of exam-
ples of rapid and recent changes in the radio hobby as
a lead-in to a discussion of what I try to do with the col-
umn space I have here in the magazine four times a year.
What is the biggest technology revolution in radio listening
in recent years? For the average person, it is the smart speak-
er. For hams and radio hobbyists, it is the software-defined
radio (SDR). What they have in common is that each tech-
nology is rapidly replacing the conventional desktop radio (be
it a receiver or a transceiver).
Recent studies have concluded that more than 30% of
homes in the United States no longer have a desk or coun-
tertop broadcast radio of any kind. For even more, the func-
tions previously performed by radios in the home are per-
formed by a smart speaker. In fact, with smart speakers now
in more than two-thirds of homes, it is probably time to declare
the desktop or bedside radio as it was for decades to be dead
and buried. The smart speaker is used to listen to local radio
stations, get the news, function as an alarm clock, and serve
as the primary source of audio entertainment.
For many radio hobbyists, the SDR has become the stan-
dard way to monitor the bands and, increasingly, to transmit. munications. The pace of change has never been greater.

 ANALOG ADVENTURES
I
obtained my first oscilloscope as a
going-away gift from one of my nerdy
friends after my freshman year in
high school, as I prepared to leave
Silicon Valley for “Surf City.” (Actually,
all my friends were pretty nerdy. –EN)
It was a rather decrepit Eico oscillo-
scope and, though relatively worthless
as a genuine test instrument, it was a
great deal of fun making squiggly lines
and Lissajous patterns and the like. I
got a particular thrill out of wobbling the
trace around with a magnet; as I’ve sug-
gested before, I’ve always been easily
entertained. If I’d been a YL, I would
have been deemed a really cheap date,
I suppose.
Nowadays, there are so many excel-
lent, low-cost, digital oscilloscopes
around that there’s no reason to settle
for an abominable analog oscilloscope.
However, there are still some applica-
tions for non-abominable analog oscil-
loscopes. In a subsequent article, we
will discuss a few instances in which a
digital ‘scope just won’t cut the mustard,
so you really won’t regret having har-
bored your old blue-gray Tektronix
beast and its shopping-cart sized dolly
in your tool shed since 1957.
This column fits nicely with my earlier
column, “Getting more FUN from your
FUNction Generator” (Dec. 2020 CQ,
p. 82).
One of the problems with a really
cheap (or really old) analog oscillo-
scope is that the horizontal sweep is not
very accurate and definitely not linear.
Long before ramp generators were in
common use, most ‘scopes used an
expanded sine wave to generate the
horizontal sweep. The center portion of
a sine wave is pseudo-linear, but for
many applications, this leaves a lot to
be desired. You can use the ramp func-
tion of your function generator to
replace a cheap scope’s horizontal time
base, and this almost always works
admirably. And most certainly, the time
base of your function generator will be
far more accurate than that of your
decrepit Eico oscilloscope. (By the way,
Eico really got an undeservedly bad
rap; in reality, the company got untold

tens of thousands of young folks into
electronics with its low-cost instru-
ments. Anybody who does that is okay
in my book. –EN)
In “Getting More Fun,” we described
how to use the X-Y mode of your oscil-
loscope and your function generator
to create a curve tracer. This is just
one function that works very nicely
with a cheap oscilloscope … or a fancy
oscilloscope.
It is sometimes useful to be able to
sweep some AC signal across a certain
range of frequencies, and look at the
amplitude response of some device to
these frequencies. If we can correlate
the horizontal position of an X-Y mode
oscilloscope with the frequency, while
looking at the output of our device under
test (DUT) with the vertical channel, we
can develop a useful curve of the
device’s frequency response. If this
sounds suspiciously like a spectrum
analyzer, you would be absolutely cor-
rect. Well, almost absolutely correct;
technically, what we have is a tracking
generator setup. With a minor re-
arrangement, we can create a really
cheap spectrum analyzer.
The only missing ingredient to our
“poor man’s spectrum analyzer” is a
receiver of some sort, with a local oscil-
lator capable of being swept with our
ramp voltage. Back in the ancient of
days, the local oscillator of a receiver
was varied by electromechanical means
such as a wobbulator. A “wobbulator”
was a motor driven variable capacitor,
which was synchronized with a hori-
zontal ramp frequency. A more practi-
cal (and quieter) method is by means of
a varactor diode. Many older receivers
can be easily retro-fitted with a varactor
diode to either replace the entire local
oscillator capacitor, or a portion of the
circuit capacitance. I much prefer using
a direct conversion scheme, as shown
in Figure 1.
Now, if you really want to be lazy, you
might be able to use your el cheapo func-
tion generator / synthesizer to perform
both the ramp generator function and the
VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) func-
tion. This way, you can avoid having to
build a separate VCO. Most DDS func-
tion generators can be twiddled to cre-
ate a nice frequency-swept RF signal …
but not all of them supply a ramp output
at the same time. So you may want to
check this out first. If you do need to build
a VCO, there are many chips available
for just a couple of bucks.
Now, most high-falutin’ spectrum
analyzers have a much bigger dynam-
ic range than this simple hack; and,
among other things, the vertical scale
is usually logarithmic. But we already
talked about log-amps a while back,
didn’t we? You can take the output from
the low-pass filter (LPF) stage and
apply it to a logarithmic amp … or bet-
ter yet, two or more cascaded log amps
Visit Our Web Site
to achieve “commercial grade” dynamic range. See how all
this neat stuff ties together?
Catching Some Zees
One unique function of many analog scopes that is not avail-
able on most digital scopes is Z-axis (or brightness) modu-
lation. Among other things, Z-axis modulation allows you to
create a video monitor with your oscilloscope. I don’t know
why you’d want to watch “I Love Lucy” reruns on a green
CRT, but this is certainly possible. You would also have to
supply raster signals to the X and Y inputs. Early computer
displays also used Z-axis modulation to create letters and
numbers on the screen.
Probably a much more classic use for Z-axis modulation is
for a radar display. The classic PPI (plan position indicator)
used ever since the second war to end all wars used Z-axis
modulation as well as a circular raster scheme, using mag-
nets to rotate the beam deflection in sync with the radar dish.
(Remember how I said I was fascinated with magnets and
CRTs? I wasn’t all that weird, after all. –EN)
One application in which an analog scope is almost always
better than a digital scope is looking at AM envelopes. Most
digital scopes have a hard time synchronizing on AM sig-
nals, which is no problem for any semi-decent analog scope.
We will discuss AM modulation monitoring in an upcoming
column.
Until then, keep the soldering iron hot and the ol’ general
coverage receiver chatting away in the background.

Long-Delayed Fix
Several months back, we got this letter from reader Kenneth
Feldman, KB3MDT:
Eric, I enjoy your articles in CQ magazine and eHam.com.
I read “Analog Adventures” in the August 2020 edition of
CQ. After puzzling over the Gilbert Cell Diagram on page
72 several times, I realized a connection was missing. The
“top” LO input that goes to the base of only one transistor
on the top left should also be connected to the base of the
transistor on the top right of the diagram. Blame the editor.
:-)
Enjoy.
KL7AJ responds:
Hi Kenneth:
Good catch. I won’t blame the editor, but I WILL inform
him of my egregious oversight, which will surely result in
my being disciplined sternly with the Wouff Hong. I shall
post a correction in an upcoming installment.
– 73! Eric
W2VU’s two cents:
Kenneth, thanks for the good catch. Unfortunately, trav-
el restrictions and winter in Alaska have prevented me from
visiting Eric to personally administer the Wouff Hong “treat-
ment,” as well as the rettysnitch! Of course, we should have
caught it, too. Thanks again for your vigilant reading!

Details on how I made my own sabre-

packing tape for an inverted-V dipole,
which I nicknamed the Sabre-V, are
highlighted in the October 2019 QRP
column. To ensure the antenna would
cover 80 meters, I calculated the length
of a half-wave dipole (468 / frequency
[MHz]) using 3.5 MHz then added a few
feet since I was unsure how the zig zags
in the wire would react during tune-up.
I settled on a length of 140 feet of wire
(70 feet for each leg). It is important to
note that I feed the Saber-V with
approximately 50 feet of 300-ohm win-
dow line in concert with an antenna
tuner (with a built-in balun). I prefer not
to use coaxial cable because of its loss.

made plans to evaluate the antenna
with Mike’s antenna analyzer (Rig-

antenna and to share our findings with
the ham community who may be
inspired to build this fascinating short-

The primary objective was to deter-
mine the expected shortened antenna’s

Removing Teeth from the
Sabre-V
After taking time to digest the informa-
tion from the initial outing, Mike and I
met again at the site, this time with wire
cutters in hand to trim each leg of the
Sabre-V to validate Mike’s formulas.
We decided to trim the antenna to bring
its fundamental resonant frequency
(6.4 MHz) into the 40-meter band, my
favorite band for portable operation.
Prior to trimming the antenna, we hoist-
ed the antenna up into the same tree as
before and performed another broad-
band sweep to ensure we received con-
sistent results before trimming the
antenna. The same results were iden-
tified — lucky day.

fifth harmonic resonances around 19.2
MHz and 32 MHz (based on the anten-
nas fundamental resonance of 6.4
MHz) are also seen. Note that these
resonant frequencies coincide to the
zero reactance (X) crossing points
(green lines) on Figure 2.
Based on the initial testing and mea-
surements, it was determined this
antenna requires nearly twice the wire
of a standard dipole / inverted-V to
achieve an approximate 30% reduction
in physical length for a given funda-
mental resonant frequency. Mike used

We used the formula that was derived
to calculate the length of the sabretooth
wire to determine the length of antenna
to be removed [Total Antenna Physical
Length (ft) = 321 / F0 (Mhz)]. Since a
higher resonant frequency (7.1 MHz)
was desired, the antenna needed to be
shortened by approximately 4.8 feet
{[50 feet - (321 / 7.1 MHz)] x 12 / 2} or
29 inches on each side. To be safe, we
removed 28 inches from each leg
before re-hoisting the antenna. The res-
onant frequency now measured 7.02
MHz (still a bit too low) so an addition-
al 3 inches was removed from each leg.
This resulted in a more desirable reso-
nant frequency of 7.116 MHz (Figure 3).
Aside from a better match on 40 meters,
a closer resonance point near the third
harmonic (21 MHz) was identified. The
fifth harmonic was shifted just outside
the 10-meter band (> 30 MHz), but is
still tunable with the antenna tuner. For
those eager to do the math, you might
notice a slight variation in calculated
trim values due to the formula being
derived using the Balun Designs 4:1
balun. The final test was done with a
spare MFJ 4:1 balun to better simulate
the balun in my MFJ antenna tuner.
The New and Improved
Sabre-V
The big question — how well does the
new and improved Sabre-V work?
Since trimming the antenna in Novem-
ber 2020, I have had two outings prior to
the writing this column. I can say the
Sabre-V is easily tuned on 40 meters with
my MFJ-971 antenna tuner with little to
no adjustment needed across the entire
band and can be tuned from 10-80
meters with no hesitation from the tuner.
My first outing was a quick trip to a
nearby park where I made a few CW
and SSB contacts on 40 meters. My sig-
nal reports (with 4-watts output) were

good, and I had no issues making con-
tacts. My second outing was Winter
Field Day 2021. I setup the Sabre-V at
the same location Mike and I did the
testing and made 40 SSB contacts on
40 meters and four SSB contacts on 20
meters for a total of 44 contacts (4 watts
output) in 2.8 hours. My signal reports
generally ranged between 5-5 and 5-9
on 40 meters and 3-3 (Manitoba) to 5-
7 (Missouri) on 20 meters. Not too bad

amount of wire present in this piece of
sabretooth wire needed to be deter-
mined. Mike used masonry cord to trace
each zig-zag along the entire section of
sabretooth wire (Photo E) to determine
the amount of wire used. Since the sec-
tion of sabretooth wire I gave Mike was
snipped from a much longer section I
had used from an experimental anten-
na design that stirred up trouble with my
wife (a roof-mounted 40-meter, full-
wave loop that she insisted was a visu-
al monstrosity and be immediately
removed — see Photo F), I could not
provide any details on how much wire
was present in the 57-foot-long section;
however, Mike’s measurements identi-
fied 195 feet of wire were present.
After determining the length of wire pre-
sent, Mike wrapped all 57 feet of the
sabretooth wire around his attic framing
to form a hexagonal shaped loop (Photo
G). The loop’s feed point was connected
to a Comtek 4:1 Current Balun (Model

The Sabretooth Wire Loop

Experiment?
I gave Mike a 57-foot-long piece of
sabretooth wire I had constructed from
22-gauge wire and duct tape for anten-
na experimentation. Mike used this to
explore whether he could replace his
existing full wavelength 40-meter loop
antenna with sabretooth wire of similar
physical length to achieve resonance
on 80 meters, potentially offering im-
proved antenna patterns on its har-
monic frequencies (40-6 meters), and
ease the workload of his antenna tuner
on the WARC bands. Since this piece
of sabretooth wire was constructed dif-
ferently than the section of wire I had
previously made from clear packing

cable running into the shack. A 3- to 30-
MHz sweep with the antenna analyzer
(2,000 data point mode setting) identified
the loop’s resonant frequency as 9.97
MHz (Figure 4). Since the balun covers
up to 54 MHz a sweep from 3-55 MHz
confirmed 6 meters was also tunable.
Measurements and testing of the
sabretooth wire loop antenna indicated
that nearly twice the amount of wire of
a standard loop is needed to achieve an
approximate reduction of 44% in phys-
ical length for a given fundamental res-
onant frequency. Based on this testing
the following formulas were derived to
determine the antenna’s total physical
length and length of wire needed:
• Total Loop Physical Length (feet) =
568 / F0 (MHz)
• Total Length of Wire Needed (feet)
– 1,944 / F0 (MHz)
Table 2 contains pertinent antenna
information and measurements of the
zig-zag wire configuration.
After collecting the loop’s measure-
ments, Mike took down the antenna as
it was not resonant on a major band of
interest. He also noted that it altered the
SWR of his 40-meter loop which was
about 20 feet outside the sabretooth
loop. Mike plans to continue experi-
62 • CQ • April 2021
menting with the sabretooth wire loop
and remove wire (as we did with the
Sabre-V) to make it resonate on 20
meters. This will both validate the for-
mulas and determine if an 80-meter
Sabre-Loop would fit in his attic.
Have Fun Experimenting!
Our experiments provided sufficient data
to derive formulas to determine the
approximate physical length of each
antenna and the total amount of wire
needed to construct each. One needs to
bear in mind that many factors (i.e.,
height and distance between each
zigzag, antenna layout and height, wire
diameter, feedline length and character-
istics, etc.) need to be considered when
experimenting with antennas and, for
these reasons, no two sabretooth wire
antennas will perform exactly alike.
Preliminary modeling of the Sabre-V
with EZNEC was challenging due to the
complexity of the sabretooth wire (zig-
zags) design; however, the fundamen-
tal and harmonic resonances were
determined and closely related our
measured values.
As for physically constructing sabre-
tooth wire, I have found that clear pack-
ing tape works much better than duct
tape for making these types of anten-
nas. Aside from being more expensive,
duct tape is much heavier and wider,
allowing the wind to twirl the tape (i.e.,
legs of the dipole) during windy condi-
tions. Less twirling is seen with the clear
packing tape. I can attest that after 10
Parks on the Air (POTA) activations
along blustery Lake Superior and Lake
Michigan shorelines and several camp-
ing trips with the Sabre-V left deployed
day and night (including rainy periods),
this antenna stands strong with no
needed repairs.
Although this antenna has provided
me with hundreds of POTA contacts
and a fair share of 40-meter DX, I can-
not stop experimenting and am making
plans to further tweak the Sabre-V, and
maybe revisit my roof-mounted sabre-
tooth 40-meter loop idea. Growing up, I
always enjoyed tinkering with things
and was told “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix
it.” Now, many years later, I often find
myself doing things I probably should
not do and if I get into trouble, I like to
think my sometimes-ill-fated pursuits
were done in the spirit of amateur radio
and with the blessings of fellow hams!

Some Thoughts on Utilizing and Protecting a Receive Antenna

Many QSOs with North America, and KB5NJD says 73

O
ver the last few years that I have
given presentations on the topic
of 630 and 2200 meters, I have
encountered a surprising number of
amateurs who are unaware of the com-
mon practice of using separate trans-
mit and receive antennas (about 79%
of attendees). Along the same train of
thought, how both of those antennas
might connect to a transceiver at the
same time is often at the top of the list
of questions encountered.
Interfacing a receive-only antenna to
a transceiver usually comes in one of
two ways. In the first case (Figure 1),
the transceiver has a separate receive
antenna input and there is probably a
button on the front panel to engage this
antenna when the radio is in receive
mode. All switching is internal and auto-
matic when changing state from trans-
mit to receive and vice versa. This
approach is most common with physi- Figures 1 and 2. Both of these images look exactly the same, only their utiliza-

antenna caused the panel lights to
brightly flash, while sizzling could be
heard coming from inside the trans-
ceiver. Because I failed to incorporate
some type of front-end protection for my
receiver on the receive antenna port, I
burned up the RF amplifier transistors
and FETs located in the receiver sec-
tion. Thank goodness I was not running
the power amplifier or doing the testing
with the FT1000, which happens to be
one of my favorites!
Today there is at least one manufac-
turer incorporating a clever approach to
passively solve this problem in its trans-
ceivers. Elecraft transceivers sample
signal on the receive antenna port,
using any returning RF above a safe
threshold to power a small transistor
switch to insert attenuation into the
receive line. Other manufacturers may
now be doing this as well, but Elecraft is
the only one that I am aware of right now.

or “front-end protectors,” these magic
boxes are placed between the trans-
ceiver’s receive antenna port and the
receive antenna bus, decreasing signal
voltage at the input of the transceiver to
safe levels. I’ve used a box (Photo B)
that was built in the very early 2000s by
Mike Koss, W9SU (SK), of Industrial
Communications Engineers (ICE) for
my 80- and 160-meter receive anten-
nas. It uses transformers that saturate
very easily, introducing high losses, in
the presence of very strong RF that
would be experienced when near-field
signals were back-feeding a receive
antenna. Under normal receive condi-
tions, signals pass with little attenua-
tion. A pair of back-to-back diodes
served to shunt any remaining signal
above 0.6 volts to ground. I’ve actually
removed the diodes from mine to
improve IMD performance with no neg-
ative impacts. Unfortunately, the core
material used in the saturating trans-
formers of the ICE limiter has been
found to be inappropriate for providing

meter reverse beacon node. So far, none of my receivers
has gone deaf from my transmissions.
When building a protection relay box, one important con-
sideration is the amount of current that the transceiver’s
switching device can sink. Many 12-volt, small-signal relays
will exhibit coil resistances that are in the 50-100-ohm range.
At 12 volts, Ohm’s Law tells us that the current draw will be
between 120 and 240 milliamperes, between those extremes
of resistance. It’s a good idea to double check what your
transceiver’s transistor switching can handle. It’s also a good
idea to put a reversed bias diode across the relay coil to pre-
vent a surge of current on the change of state. For trans-
ceivers using mechanical relays to control an amplifier, these
current and back-pulse issues become less of a priority. Often
these relays can handle many amps of current, far more than
one would experience with a typical small-signal relay.
GØMRF 630-Meter Remote Digital Station
Returns to Air
During a brief period of relaxed COVID lockdown in England
in mid-December, David Bowman, GØMRF, successfully
traveled to a site in IO91fr where his remote 630-meter sta-
tion has been operated in recent years (Photo C), reprising
the role once again this season. David reported that the
“(e)quipment is an ICOM IC-7300 running a couple of watts
followed by a frequency doubler and a push-pull class-D
amplifier.” The antenna is an inverted-L that is 32 meters (105
feet) high and 100 meters (328 feet) long with the end of the
wire at 15 meters (49 feet) above ground. David reports that
the antenna is self-resonant on 540 kHz and is brought to
resonance in the 630-meter band using a 33-μH coil at the
base that is made from 5-millimeter diameter refrigeration
tubing. He noted the presence of noise sources not heard in
recent years that would probably require a receive loop to be
implemented on subsequent trips.
Aside from heavy weather while installing the antenna,
David reported a stellar beginning to this season’s remote
operation, receiving WSPR reports from 151 stations on his
first night of on-air evaluation (Figure 3). Twenty-six of those
reports were located in North America and KM5SW in New

lem raising the tower but some reposi-
tioning was necessary so that enough
clearance was available to remove the
bottom section. Once clear, a grinder
was used to remove the base sections
set in concrete. He noted that there was
a bit of adrenaline present during this
stage because once those sections are
cut, there is no turning back. He did have
a backup plan, however, that consisted
of placing steel rods down holes of the
base section that had been cut off to
function as temporary stubs for the bot-
tom section to mate. Fortunately, this
was not necessary and the new base
section with the insulator went easily into
position (Photo D). The tower lowered
without incident (Photo E) and guy wires
were able to be adjusted to proper ten-
sion. He indicated that the entire process
took just one hour to complete.
So how does the new antenna per-
form on air? Tests with his neighbor,
WBØTEM, on 630 meters showed no
difference in signal strength, but at
KB5NJD, W7XU was at least one S-unit
stronger during A/B testing on CW. It
was an audible difference. Additionally,
the tower has proven to be more stable
in poor weather conditions often expe-
rienced in his area during the winter. In
late January, Arliss completed his first
QSO with K9FD (/KH6) on 630 meters,
giving him a new state. While the tower
was iced, the SWR protection circuit of
the Monitor Sensors transverter folded
back to just a few hundred milliwatts
power output but it was apparently plen-
ty for the QSO to be completed.
The new antenna currently has about
108 radials that are each 125 feet long,
with a few additional radials as long as
250 feet. Arliss hopes to add additional
radials in the future. The inverted-L that
he was using had just one 50-foot radi-
al. Because of efficiency improvements

 ANTENNAS
BY KENT BRITAIN, WA5VJB

Antenna Temperature

T
his time I am going to cover per-
haps the most complex topic I
have ever taken a swing at.
Antenna temperature does not apply to
HF antennas and can barely even be
measured at 2 meters. So, we are main-
ly talking about a 1 GHz-and-up spec-
trum issue.
Let’s start by looking at the chart of
the electromagnetic spectrum in Figure
1. On the left, you see radio waves; to
the right, visible light, ultraviolet, and X-
rays. Between them are microwaves
and infrared radiation. Now look at that
area between microwaves and infrared.
Are waves in this gap long, long, Figure 1. A simplified chart of the electromagnetic spectrum. Our area of inter-
infrared waves? Or are they short, est for this month’s column is the range between microwaves and infrared. (Credit:
short, radio waves? The answer is yes, National Institute of Standards and Technology)
they are both.
Now I have to throw in a bit of quan-
tum electronics. Take a voltmeter and
connect it across a resistor. Heat and
molecular motion are making all those
atoms in the resistor bounce around
and this generates an AC voltage. Now
don’t get too excited, this AC voltage is
so weak that for years it couldn’t be
measured, but it’s not zero. And it’s not
that new free energy source either. But
that thermal noise is there and limits the
sensitivity of many microwave receive
systems.
This noise is directly related to the
temperature of the resistor and is
expressed in degrees Kelvin. For a Figure 2. Prime focus dish.

 Yes, you could tighten up the beamwidth of the feed, and
that would reduce the noise, but it will also reduce how much
of the surface of the dish you are using. You just lost a lot of
gain doing that. Optimizing dish size, dish curvature, feed
pattern, and LNA (low-noise amplifier) noise temperature is
a topic we will save for the advanced course.
In Photo B, we have a typical satellite TV offset feed dish.
Notice how the feed is pointing upward? For you folks in the
more northern states, this upward angle will be more extreme.
As shown in Figure 3, any spillover from the feed is looking
at that cold sky. This makes for a much more efficient dish
system and allows the use of a much smaller dish. Now you
know why those funny shaped dishes are so popular with
satellite systems.
Of course, this does bring up the question of how the LNA
on the dish can have a noise temperature of 50° K when the
transistor itself is at 293° K? The answer there is gain. The
gain of the device makes the signal stronger than the noise
in the substrate of the active device. For this reason, you will
never see a low-noise preamp with low gain. It’s got to have
high gain to override that substrate noise. And you can eas-
ily see why extremely low-noise preamps are cooled, some-
times to very low temperatures. Photo C shows a particular-
ly good LNB; note the 15° K rating.
As always you guys are a great source of column topics. If
you have any antenna question or a possible column topic
you can use snail mail to my QRZ.COM address. For email

AOR Ltd. Announces New Pro Trunk-Tracking
Feature for AR-DV1/DV10 Receivers
AOR Ltd. has released a new firmware update to its pop-
ular AR-DV1 and AR-DV10 digital voice receivers with a
feature previously found only in its pro line of wideband
receivers.
After users download the firmware update from AOR’s
website <www.aordirect.jp>, they will be able to use GSSI
user group filtering for trunked TETRA network reception.
AR-DV1 and DV10 are now able to import, bookmark, and
name tag a TETRA network’s GSSI user group list and to
selectively decode its voice communications.

Photo B. Typical offset-feed satellite TV dish.

On a TETRA trunking network, the same
traffic channel can be used by multiple
groups, and different groups may move to
different frequencies for each transmission.
The group code makes it possible to follow
a specific user’s group for communication.
This is made possible by a group-specific identification ID
called GSSI. Adding this GSSI user group filtering function
to the AR-DV10 and DV1 enables seamless tracking of spe-
cific user groups between slots. TETRA is used worldwide
by government agencies, emergency services, public ser-
vice, and utilities.
The AR-DV1 and DV10 100 kHz-to-1300 MHz wideband
receivers decode many digital-protocol signals including
DMR, NXDN, D-STAR, DPMR, APCO 25, YAESU, D-CR,
ALINCO, and traditional analog signals.
AOR said that the firmware update is available now and
can be purchased for 11,000 yen or $100.97 U.S. For more
information, contact AOR Ltd., 2-6-4 Misuji, Taito-ku, Tokyo

BY TRENT FLEMING,* N4DTF

Hello from N4DTF

W
ell, hello, and welcome to your
column. I’m beyond excited
that W2VU has afforded me
the opportunity to curate the VHF+ col-
umn. I’ve been around radio my entire
life and was finally licensed about 20
years ago. I have explored many facets
of our hobby and have a long bucket list
of other things to try. The one thing
about ham radio is that you never reach
the end of it. Our legacy of experimen-
tation and innovation means there is
always something new. While I’m at it,
let me say that there are a lot of you with
more knowledge and experience than
I, and I feel a large part of my job is to
extract that knowledge from you and
impart it to your fellow hams — and to
those who are perhaps are just now
becoming interested in ham radio.
Here are my main goals for the col-
umn in the coming months. First, I want
to cast as wide a net as possible about

hobby ... there’s always another angle
to pursue.

Let’s Not Forget Repeaters

Repeater activity can be fun while you
run errands around town, and of course
there are various nets that operate
many mornings and evenings in which
you can participate. While these nets
can be social gatherings, remember
that participating in net activity gives
you the skills you need to “pass traffic”
or carry messages via ham radio in
times of emergency. Most of us had our
first contact on a repeater. Sure, there
may be some mic shyness, but just jump
in and put your call out there and say
hello. We hams are a friendly and wel-
coming lot. On the dark side, if you try
making contact on a repeater and aren’t
welcomed, don’t give up — just move
on and try another one.
The bottom line is this: Being a ham
and really enjoying the hobby means
being active. The first step in being
active is listening ... monitor the local
repeaters, local simplex frequencies if
active (while 146.52 MHz is the 2-meter
national calling frequency, you will find
other frequencies used for simplex con-
tacts in certain locales, and the only way
to learn that is to scan and listen.)
Photo B. Globe relief showing St. Helena Island (circled).
Listening requires a good setup, which
means an external antenna for your car
or home. The good news is, simple
antennas are inexpensive, such as a
mag mount for your vehicle and a sim-
ple J-pole antenna for your home that
you can build yourself (just search for
J-pole construction plans) on 20 feet of
chain link fence tops will put you in busi-
ness. Take the time to invest in your
antenna system to avoid the frustration
that will come with poor reception and
weak transmit signals. It will make your
initial experiences in ham radio so much
richer. Nothing wrong with starting with
an HT (many of us did) but make sure
you set yourself up for success! Write
and let me know about your experi-
ences — or frustrations — or questions.

Here and There on the Bands

My hope is that y’all will flood me with
reports of your on-air activity, but until
then I’ve managed to accumulate the
following tidbits:
This month, let’s look at some 2-meter

 BEHIND THE BYLINES ...
… a little bit about some of the authors
whose articles appear in this issue
Ken Goetz, N2SQW (“Optimizing On-the-Air Practices in
FT8,” p. 10) is retired from the New York State Office of
Emergency Management, where he served as a radio engi-
neer and State RACES Officer. Currently the Deputy State
RACES Officer, Ken is also an active DXer, contester, and
county hunter. He is president of the Hudson Valley
Contesters and DXers club and has a growing collection of
plaques, including for first-place U.S. Tribander / Single Wire
Low Power in the CQ WPX Contest three years in a row!
Ken lives in Cairo (Greene County), New York, outside of
Albany.

John Dorr, K1AR (“Results of the 2020 CQWW DX SSB

Contest,” p. 14), is a member of the CQ Contest Hall of Fame
has been Director of the CQ World Wide DX Contest since
2018. He has been a member of the CQWW Contest
Committee since the mid-1970s and served as CQ’s
Contesting Editor from 1989 to 2011. John is also a two-time
medalist in the World Radiosport Team Championship
(WRTC), a two-time president of the Yankee Clipper Contest
Club, past chairman of the World Wide Radio Operators’
Foundation, and has emceed the Dayton Contest Dinner for
more than 25 years. He lives in Windham, New Hampshire.

Lisa Roberts, AL6Y (“Hand-Grinding a Quartz Crystal,” p.

28) of North Pole, Alaska, is a very new ham with the good
luck to have Eric Nichols, KL7AJ, as a neighbor and men-
tor. On the other hand, in this case, Eric seems to have come
up with his own version of Tom Sawyer whitewashing the
fence and, under the guise of teaching Lisa a new skill (and
encouraging her to write about it), he got her to grind his
crystal and at the end, it was the skin on her fingers that was
cracked, not his! But kudos to both Eric and Lisa for helping
to keep this nearly lost art alive.

on February 3rd. States included Texas, Oklahoma, and
Louisiana. The North Texas net meets on 144.250 at 8 p.m.
local on Wednesday evenings.
The SWOT Arizona net meets on 144.250 at 8:30 a.m. local

Indiana, and Minnesota. Bruce mentioned that in previous
nets he’s also had check-ins from Iowa, Kansas, Illinois, and
Tennessee (not me, yet, but I do have a confirmed 2-meter
SSB contact with EM29). That’s great coverage from EM29.
Bruce’s net meets on 144.250 MHz at 730 p.m. local time on

Starting an Awards Journey

How One Young Ham’s First Few Certificates Have Led to a Lifetime of
Award-Hunting
BY STEPHEN WERNER,# AG4W

This month, I reached out to a local contester and DXer in northern Alabama for
his personal history of award chasing. Steve Werner, AG4W, has been in this
hobby longer than I have been alive and this article will show his success in over
50 years in amateur radio. Enjoy the column and how many awards he placed
in the spotlight. – KI4KWR

I
recently got to wondering how I got
so interested in chasing award cer-
tificates. Looking back, it turns out
the hook was set when I was 13 years
old and a ham for less than a year. I
had ham club Elmers (mentors) who
told me about many of the awards that
were available at the time, and they
told me how to earn and apply for them.
One of the first awards I earned was
the ARRL Rag Chewers’ Club (Photo
A). This required you to have a QSO
of at least 30 minutes. I received this
as a Novice in 1966. This award was
discontinued in 2004.

My second award came as a newly-
minted General when I qualified as a
“Spook.” To achieve Spook status
(Photo B), I had to have a 10-meter
QSO for at least an hour after midnight.
I earned that using my Heathkit DX-40
transmitter and Hammarlund HQ-129X
receiver on 10-meter AM.
My third award was a certificate of
membership in the Breeze Shooter’s
Club (Photo C). This was for working 10
members on 10 meters. The Breeze
Shooter’s Net used to operate on 29 MHz
AM. Now the members meet on 28.480
MHz SSB. I grew up in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania and really enjoyed the
Breeze Shooter’s Hamfest. Information
on the Breeze Shooters can be found at
<https://breezeshooters.org/ns>.
Some awards have stood the test of
time and the ARRL DXCC is one of
them. My first DXCC (Photo D) was
earned in 1969 on phone. It requires

confirmation of 100 countries, most of
which I worked on 20-meter SSB using
a Heathkit HW-32A that I built. While
most 16-year-olds wanted a baseball
trophy, I had DXCC. It is interesting the
seed was planted to get DXCC Honor
Roll when I was 16 years old. On the
way to Honor Roll I received my 5-Band
DXCC in 2000 and DXCC Challenge in
2003. DXCC Honor Roll requires you
to confirm 331 entities in the world
out of the current total of 340. DXCC

meters (except 60 meters). DXCC
Challenge endorsement metals are in
increments of 500. Information on
obtaining all the DXCC awards can be
found at <www.arrl.org/dxcc>.
Contest Awards
One of my first contest award certifi-
cates in 1968 was for winning first place
in Western Pennsylvania in the Nebras-
ka QSO party with 462 points (Photo E).
Photo F. Contests also provide many
opportunities to add paper to your walls
with a variety of subcategories. Here,
Steve earned a certificate in the ARRL
RTTY Roundup for first place in his
section in the subcategories of single-
operator and low-power.
Photo G. All that practice in smaller
events and subcategories can help you
move into the big leagues. Here,
AG4W won first place in the U.S. for
single-operator, high-power, in the
2019 CQ World Wide RTTY DX
Contest. It earned him a plaque instead
of a certificate.
This taught me an early lesson that
sometimes you can win with a fairly low
score just by entering and being in the
right category. Over the years, I have
received over 80 award certificates for
contesting. I am most proud to have
been part of the D4C CQWW SSB Multi-
Multi first place win in 2019. It is hard to
believe the contesting bug was alive
over 50 years ago. It actually started
during Field Day when I was a 12-year-
old Novice by ham club members show-
ing me how much fun it was. Back then,
our YMCA Ham Club members were
12-18 years old with one adult sponsor.
I have always enjoyed RTTY. I was
totally amazed when I got my first Model
15 teletype machine working late one

with all the clanking and bells ringing.
The case was off the machine which
made it particularly noisy.
My first RTTY contest win was when
I was first place in Alabama in the RTTY
Roundup for single operator low power
in 1991 (Photo F). In 2019, I came in
first place in the U.S. in the CQ World
Wide RTTY DX contest for single oper-
ator high power. I received a nice plaque
for that (Photo G).
It is great that you can also get DXCC
for working RTTY and the other digital
modes. DXCC endorsements start in
increments of 50 and are in increments
of five above 300. I now have 303 DXCC
entities on RTTY. Some argue that FT8
or some of the other new digital modes
should not count, but technology has
always helped us do much better in DX
and contesting. It was harder to make
DXCC in the early ’60s using AM. There
was no packet cluster or internet spot-
ting network either back then. SSB
made phone DXCC much easier. Photo L. The basic CQ WPX Award is issued for working 300 different prefixes,

Speaking of receiving things in the
mail, I still appreciate receiving a QSL
direct from a rare country or for a spe-
cial contact. I am a DXCC card check-
er and really enjoy reviewing the spe-
cial cards that hams need for DXCC.
VHF/UHF Awards
Because it is very hard to work 100 enti-
ties for DXCC on 2 meters or 6 meters
(which is still a goal of mine), I started
trying to also work new grid squares.
When you have confirmed 100 grid
squares, you can earn VUCC from the
ARRL (Photo K). You can get endorse-
ments for working each additional 25
grid squares. I am pleased to have
worked over 425 grid squares on 6
meters due to great E-skip last summer
and over 100 grid squares on 2 meters
due to EME contacts. I have now
worked over 200 unique stations on
EME with my modest station. Infor-
mation on the VUCC award can be
found at <www.arrl.org/vucc>.

tal, or mixed, you can earn this award.
Over the long term you can get on the
Honor Roll for confirming over 600 pre-
fixes and that appears in CQ magazine.
You can also earn the WPX Award of
Excellence. Information on the WPX
awards can be found at <https://tinyurl.
com/53dacvbu>.
I can’t discuss my journey collecting
awards without mentioning Ted
Melinosky, K1BV, who was this col-
umn’s editor for a quarter of a century.
He published an awards directory in
1995 that had over 2,340 different
awards from over 120 DXCC countries.
Many of the awards were available for
a short period of time, but some were
very attractive certificates, plaques, or
trophies. Two of those are my 5-band
Worked All Continents trophy (Photo M)
and Zone 12 award (Photo N). Ted’s list
of currently available awards is now
online at <www.dxawards.com>. I have
enjoyed receiving some very unusual
awards that were only made possible
because of the great work Ted has done
for a very long time.
I am grateful for the information hams
have shared with me on DX and con-
testing. Those Elmers have led to a life-
time of enjoyment. I now enjoy helping
hams of all ages get the most out ham
radio. I especially enjoy starting hams
on the journey to collecting DX and con-
test awards. I hope you will, too.

Serrana Bank and Roncador Cay – A Look Back

S
errana Bank is an atoll in the
western Caribbean Sea. Accord-
ing to Wikipedia, it is a mostly
underwater reef about 50 kilometers
(31 miles) long and 13 kilometers (8
miles) wide and has six cays, or islets,
the largest of which is Southwest Cay.
Serrana Bank is believed to be named
after the Spanish castaway Pedro
Serrano. It was first shown with this
name on a Dutch map in 1545. The area
was mapped more extensively by the
English in 1660. A former base for the
U.S. military, it is now mostly visited by
lobster fishermen. It is now Colombian
territory, though it was formerly claimed
by the United States.
Roncador Cay is a small island of the
Roncador Bank, also located in the
western Caribbean, 150 kilometers (93
miles) east-northeast of Providencia
Island. In 1972, the U.S. and Colombia
signed a treaty recognizing Colombia’s
sovereignty over Roncador Cay and
Serrana Bank, and abandoning Ameri-
can sovereignty over Quita Sueño
Bank. A fishing concession was re-
tained by the United States over the
three banks. This treaty became effec-
tive in 1981. In 2012, ruling on
Nicaraguan claims to the islands, the
International Court of Justice reaffirmed
Colombia’s sovereignty.
For amateur radio purposes, Serrana
Bank and Roncador Cay counted as a
separate DXCC entity until they came
under the control of Colombia on
September 17, 1981, the effective date
of the treaty mentioned above. As for
licensing, the treaty signing date
(September 8, 1972) seemed to mark
the transition from U.S. (KS4) callsigns
to Colombian (HKØ) callsigns being
assigned. Due to their location relative-
ly near San Andres — Providencia

Andres at 11 p.m. on March 15, 1959 on the “Rosemar,” a
69-foot diesel vessel from Bluefields, Nicaragua. By late
evening, March 16th, the Rosemar had lost her course in
heavy seas and darkness and sailed without knowledge of
her position for several days, finally sighting by chance the
Pearl Cays off the Nicaraguan coast on March 19th. A short
run to “Corn Island” replenished a dangerously low diesel
supply, then back to San Andres. The second and success-
ful attempt left San Andres on March 19th, arriving at Serrana
Bank (Southwest Cay) in 20 hours. KS4BB was activated
late in the evening of March 20th, in time for the ARRL DX
Contest, and closed down the morning of March 25th. The
team made some 6,000 QSOs in 80 DXCC countries. The
U.S. Navy assisted with radio fixes while they were lost at
sea (no GPS back in those days). The governments of
Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and the U.S. made offers of rescue
during the hours when their safety was in doubt, but fortu-
nately were not required. Team members were Don Chesser,
W4KVX; Dick Young, W3PZW; Vic, YN4DLS; and William
“Mac” Reynolds, W9EVI.

The Balance Between QSOs and Multipliers
P
articipation records continued to
be smashed as amateur radio
operators around the world
chose to “stay safe” and operate in con-
tests each weekend in the busy contest
months of January and February 2021.
There were 3,376 logs submitted for the
2021 CQWW 160 CW contest at the
end of January, a 16% increase over
the 2020 entries. In the WPX RTTY con-
test the second weekend of February,
3,854 logs were submitted, a 25%
increase over the 2020 running.
In the 2021 running of the ARRL DX
CW contest, several new record high
scores are already clear from the
claimed scores. Dan Craig, N6MJ,
operating the Cayman Island station
ZF1A remotely, reports 8,380 QSOs
and more than 8.5 million points, both
well above any previous DX effort. Dan
writes, “I just couldn’t believe that it
would happen in a relative down year
propagation-wise.” You can see Dan’s
full commentary and detailed statistics
at <https://3830scores.com>.
The decline in DXpeditions has limit-
ed the number of exotic countries that
have been available to be worked since
March 2020. For example, in the
February 2020 ARRL DX CW contest,
Rick Davenport, KI1G, entered single-
operator unlimited (assisted) and
reports working 115 countries on the
20-meter band, but in 2021 in the same
category, he only worked 106 countries
on that band. At the same time,
increased participation by contesters at
home was noted by Rick. He writes, “I
worked over 500 Germans; that cer-
tainly is the high mark.”
The Multiplier vs. QSO Cloud
Illustrates the Variety of
Multipliers in Contests
Amateur radio contests have had multi-
pliers since their earliest days. On page
38 of the December 1929 issue of QST,
“The January Contest” was announced
with detail, “the final score will be
obtained by multiplying the sum of all
points by the number of Sections worked
[…] This will make our contest more inter-
esting and general in its character.”
E.L. Battey, W1UE, becomes even
more excited about the multiplier con-

CONTESTING
BY TIM SHOPPA,* N3QE
cept in his May 1930 contest results,
sparing no exclamation points: “As
there are 68 sections, there was a pos-
sible multiplier of 68. Think what that
meant!! There was no limit to the pos-
sible scores!”
Multipliers in contests do more than
just increase the numeric final score.
They make contesting more interesting
by encouraging geographic diversity in
the contacts made. In DX contests in
which countries are often the multipliers,
operators plan their stations, band
usage, and operating hours to work
exotic locations all over the world. In
domestic contests like the ARRL
Sweepstakes, the geographic diversity
is about more than just distance — it may
also include efforts to work a station in
a single nearby section that is rare
because it may be activated by only one
or a handful of amateurs that weekend.
Many contests score multipliers once
per band — the CQ World Wide DX
Contest and the North American QSO
Parties are popular examples. This
obviously encourages operators to be
on both during daytime and evening
hours. Other contests, though, such as
ARRL Sweepstakes and the CQ WPX
Contests, count multipliers only once
per contest. Because the low bands are
best at shorter distances and working
close-in multipliers, and high bands are
best at longer distances and working
Figure 1. Multipliers vs. QSOs for single operators in the 2019 ARRL Sweepstakes
contest. (Data points from <https://contests.arrl.org>)
multipliers farther away, band and time
of operation diversity is still encour-
aged, even when multipliers are once-
per-contest.
Ninety-one years after the first-ever
amateur radio contest, almost all con-
tests still maintain the same formula:
Final score is the product of total QSO
points and a multiplier count. But the
relationship between QSOs and multi-
pliers shows quite a variety depending
on the multiplier rules chosen by the con-
test organizers. In Figures 1 through 3,
I have produced scatter graphs for one
large domestic contest (ARRL Sweep-
stakes CW 2019), the largest DX con-
test (CQWW CW 2019), and a contest
that mixes DX and domestic activity (CQ
WPX RTTY 2020). The X-axis shows
QSOs, the Y-axis shows total multipli-
ers, and the individual data points are
from the final score summary results
from the sponsors’ websites. In the sec-
tions below, I use these graphs to
explore the diversity of multipliers and
the resulting contesting strategies that
hams use in these large contests.

Figure 1, showing how many QSOs and
multipliers each single-operator has
confirmed in the final results. I drew a
green cloud behind the data points to
illustrate the typical relation between
QSOs and multipliers for ARRL
Sweepstakes.
I have color-coded the data points by
whether the entrant was assisted (red)
or unassisted (blue). We see an
expected clustering of red points for
high-multiplier assisted entries, espe-
cially for QSO counts from 70 through
600, that is above the blue points rep-
resenting the unassisted entries in this
part of the graph.

The blue unassisted points dominate
Figure 1. Indeed, in 2019 there were
800 unassisted single-operator entries
and 450 assisted entries in ARRL
Sweepstakes CW.
Note that in 2019, the 83 ARRL / RAC
sections form a very strict upper limit on
multipliers. All stations working more
than 1,030 QSOs worked all 83 sections
that year, whether they were assisted
or not, and the long streak of blue at the
upper right shows that at the upper ech-
elon of the contest, 14 of 15 entries were
unassisted.
Note a cluster of both assisted and
unassisted entries with 70-100 QSOs
and multiplier counts above 75. These
represent hams who made a special
effort to work all 83 sections with a
minimal number of QSOs. These
efforts are in the upper left corner of
the graph, outside the green cloud that
encompasses more typical efforts in
the contest. After log checking, Joe
Monfort, WA4APB, emerged as the
only entrant who worked all 83 sec-
tions in 83 QSOs, a “clean sweep”
achieved with the absolute minimum
number of QSOs.
I’ve labeled my personal assisted
entry in this contest, showing 788 QSOs
and all 83 multipliers. This is the first
year where I worked all ARRL sections
in Sweepstakes CW; often I come up
one or two sections short of the number
possible. Several times in past years,
one of the sections I’ve missed is not a
distant section, but the geographically
nearby (to me) Delaware section.
There is a very real “knee” in the graph
around the vicinity of 200 QSOs. For
many assisted Sweepstakes con-
testers, the knee at 200 QSOs corre-
sponds to a multiplier count between 78
and 83. For the unassisted entrants, the
knee at 200 QSOs is between 60 and
73 sections.
The CQ World Wide DX
Contests Have Zone and
Country Multipliers Per Band
Figure 2 shows — for U.S. single-oper-
ator stations in the Northeast and Mid-
Atlantic regions W1, W2, and W3, the
relation between QSOs and multipliers
in the final results of the 2019 CQWW
CW contest. I maintain the same color
convention for assisted (red) and unas-
sisted (blue) entrants used in the previ-
ous figure.
The scale of the multiplier axis on
Figure 2 is radically different than it was
in Figure 1, as there are up to 10 times
as many multipliers worked. The CQ
World Wide DX Contest counts multi-
pliers per band. The first QSO you make
on a new band results in a “double mul-
tiplier” because the contact is guaran-
teed to be both a new zone and a new
country for that band. Because of the
double multipliers, entrants with a very
small number of QSOs could have twice
as many multipliers as QSOs.
The “knee” in CQWW DX takes place
around 1,000 QSOs. Unassisted oper-
ators with around 1,000 QSOs have
between 300 and 500 multipliers;
assisted operators have between 350
and 600. Note that the green cloud is
especially broad for this contest, as the
multiplier number varies a lot between

unassisted single-ops and assisted operators who made mul-
tiplier-chasing a priority.
I entered the 2019 CQWW contest in the Assisted catego-
ry and I’ve labeled my 2,134 QSO, 632 multiplier effort. I
extensively used the spotting network to chase multipliers in
this contest. The axes chosen for the graph allow me to com-
pare my effort relative to other contesters in my area. To the
right of my data point, you see that 20 stations in W1, W2,
and W3 areas had more QSOs than I did. But above my data
point, you see that only nine stations worked more multipli-
ers than I did, and that eight of those stations were assisted
like me. This represents my “assisted philosophy” of chas-
ing multipliers where possible, especially later in the contest
when my run rate may be lower.
The CQ WPX Contests – Where New Multipliers
Never Stop Coming
The CQ WPX award program has, since the mid-20th cen-
tury, encouraged hams to work a diversity of amateur call-
sign prefixes, a truly innovative concept. Callsign prefixes are
closely related to geographic diversity but they also reflect a
diversity in the time that each amateur received his / her
license. As more amateurs have been licensed in the U.S.
and worldwide, more prefixes have been assigned by the
licensing authorities.
In 1973, the WPX award prefix concept was adopted as the
multiplier for the first CQ WPX contest, which at first was an
SSB-only event. A CW weekend was added in 1979, and in
1995 the WPX RTTY Contest was added. In the WPX con-
tests, a new prefix counts as a multiplier only once-per-con-
test, not once-per-band.
Figure 3 shows, for the 2019 running of the WPX RTTY
contest, how the nearly unbounded pool of available multi-
pliers results in a distinctive relation between QSOs and mul-
tipliers. In the WPX RTTY results, there is no distinction
between assisted and unassisted operators, so I have drawn
all the data points using the same color (red) used for assist-
ed entrants on the other graphs. Unlike Figures 1 and 2, the
WPX multiplier count shows much less scatter and is quite
tightly grouped for stations making any number of QSOs.
It is difficult for me to identify any kind of knee in the multi-
plier vs. QSO relation for the CQ WPX contests. Yet, the
graph shows that as you work more QSOs, your rate of new
multipliers slows down.
A station in my region who made 500 QSOs had 250 pre-
fix multipliers. Following the trend of the data, at 1,000 QSOs,
most stations had worked over 400 prefixes. If I double my
operating time, not only does the number of QSOs nearly
double, but the number of multipliers will almost double as
well. The net result is almost quadrupling my total score. This
simple mathematical relation works as a great incentive to
maximize your operating time for the WPX contests.
Multiplier Categories for Other Contests
The examples shown in Figures 1-3 can be used to under-
stand multipliers in many other contests.
In state QSO parties where counties count once per con-
test, the strict-upper-limit illustrated in Figure 1 for ARRL
Sweepstakes is largely applicable.
If multipliers can be independently accumulated on multi-
ple bands, the relation shown in Figure 2 will often be applic-
able. This class includes a large number of domestic con-
tests like the North American QSO Parties, as well as many
international contests such as Worked All Europe.

The relationship shown in Figure 3 for the WPX Contests,
in which there is not even a soft limit on multipliers, applies
to a handful of other events, most notably the Wednesday
CWOps CWT sessions. The CWT multiplier is the callsign
(once per contest, not once per band), so I think of it as an
even more extreme example of unbounded multipliers than
the WPX contests. Rob Brownstein, K6RB, writes of the CWT
multiplier structure: “The idea was to encourage people to
work many different calls rather than several of the same calls
on different bands.” Like some other enthusiastic SO1R (sin-
gle-op one radio) operators, I often enter the CWT hours with
a plan to stick to a single band with no band changes. The
net result is that multipliers are exactly equal to QSOs, and
it’s always satisfying to think of how I’ve maximized the num-
ber of new calls I could work on that one band.
K2ACX is a New Contester on the Air From a
City Lot
I was excited to receive “BRIAN DC” as the exchange from
K2ACX in an August 2020 CWOps Wednesday CWT ses-
sion. Brian was a new contester almost in my backyard, and
in the District of Columbia — an important multiplier in many
contests!
Brian Cahill was first licensed in 1996 while in high school.
He writes that while on breaks from college, he “worked the
world on CW running 10-50 watts with a monoband 20-meter
dipole in my parents’ attic,” and he also operated on campus
at Rutgers University club station WA2NPP (That call is now
held by the Rutgers Alumni Amateur Radio Club. The uni-
versity does not currently have an active ham club. – ed.)
Like many hams, Brian was not on the air for an extended
period, but in 2020, he got back on and quickly gravitated
towards contesting activities. In Photo A, you can see Brian
and his low-visibility vertical antenna, as Brian is testing his
new inverted-L with an antenna analyzer.
Brian has been on the air for over 50 CWOps mini-CWT
sessions in the past six months, as well as a dozen week-
end contests, often handing out the not-so-common DC mul-
tiplier. In the recent CQ 160-Meter CW Contest, Brian hand-
ed out the DC multiplier to 335 contesters in 41 states and
four countries. Please look for Brian in your upcoming con-
test efforts!
April and May Contest Calendar Highlights
The Florida QSO Party is the last weekend of April, the 24th
and 25th. By operating on both CW and SSB in this QSO
party, you can not only work twice as many QSOs, you can
also double your multipliers, potentially quadrupling your
score. Find full details at <https://floridaqsoparty.org>.
The action in state QSO parties is even more intense dur-
ing the following weekend, May 1-2nd. Four overlapping QSO
parties occur on this busy weekend: The 7th Call Area QSO
Party, the Indiana QSO Party, the New England QSO Party,
and the Delaware QSO Party. For details on logging these four
events in the popular N1MM+ logger, please see useful hints
at the N1MM documentation site at <https://bit.ly/37OIxEn>,
and on the 7QP site at <https://bit.ly/3dN4APJ>.
K3LR has announced that Contest University will take place
online on May 20, 2021, starting at 9 a.m. EDT (1300Z). Find
full details at <www.contestuniversity.com>.
Memorial Day weekend (May 29-30 UTC) is the CQ WPX
CW contest. This year there is no distinction between assist-
ed and unassisted single ops. Plan your operating time to
work DX stations on the low bands if possible, because an
intercontinental contact on 40 or 80 meters is worth six times
as many points as a domestic contact on 20 meters.

H
elio-scientists have confirmed that Solar Cycle 25 has
indeed begun after carefully observing and analyzing
the solar cycle data. As the name implies, this is the
th
25 solar cycle since records of sunspots began in the
mid-18th century.
Analysis puts the solar minimum between Cycles 24 and
25, that period when the Sun has barely any sunspot activ-
ity (sometimes weeks without a single sunspot), in December
2019. That month, the 13-month smoothed sunspot count
fell to 1.8, according to the Solar Cycle 24 Prediction Panel,
which is co-chaired by NOAA and NASA. The panel predicts
that peak sunspot activity for Cycle 25 is expected in 2025.
Each sunspot cycle lasts about 11 years, give or take a few
years. Cycle 24 was average in length, lasting exactly 11
years. The cycle had the fourth-smallest intensity since reg-
ular record-keeping began with Sunspot Cycle 1 in 1755, and
was the weakest cycle in 100 years. The Solar Maximum
was in April 2014, when the sunspot count max was 114,
well below the average of 179.
An interesting note about Cycle 24 is how unusual was its
progression. The Sun’s northern hemisphere led the sunspot
cycle, peaking two years ahead of the southern hemisphere
sunspot peak. This out-of-phase condition was a major
attribute of the cycle’s low peak of sunspot count. If the two
hemispheres were in phase, it is likely that the cycle’s max-
imum would have been higher.
Solar Cycle 25’s Beginning
Starting approximately eight months ago, we have observed
a steady rise in sunspot activity, indicating that we have tran-
sitioned to Solar Cycle 25. Solar scientists predict a fairly
weak cycle (see Figure 2), probably at about the same inten-

1. Using the Propagation Charts appearing in “The CQ Propagation Handbook, Fourth
Edition” by Carl Luetzelschwab, Theodore J. Cohen, George Jacobs, and R. B. Rose.
a. Find the Propagation Index associated with the particular path opening from the
Propagation Charts.
b. With the Propagation Index, use the above table to find the expected signal quality asso-
ciated with the path opening for any given day of the month. For example, an opening shown
in the Propagation Charts with a Propagation Index of 2 will be fair on April 1st and April 2nd,
then extremely poor on April 3rd, fair on April 4th, then good from April 5th through April 7th, and
so forth.
2. Alternatively, you may use the Last-Minute Forecast as a general guide to space weath-
er and geomagnetic conditions throughout the month. When conditions are Above Normal, for
example, the geomagnetic field should be quiet, and space weather should be mild. On the
other hand, days marked as Disturbed will be riddled with geomagnetic storms. Propagation
of radio signals in the HF spectrum will be affected by these geomagnetic conditions. In gen-
eral, when conditions are High Normal to Above Normal, signals will be more reliable on a given
path, when the ionosphere supports the path that is in consideration. This chart is updated daily

rose to the G2 level, which indicates a
moderate geomagnetic storm level, on
March 1, 2021. The cause? The high-
speed solar wind increased in speed
and the magnetic orientation turned
southward (in relationship to the
Earth’s magnetosphere). This degrad-
ed shortwave communications world-
wide because geomagnetic activity
affects the ionosphere. The more
active the geomagnetic field, the more
it causes a lowering of the Maximum
Usable Frequency of any given radio
path. The solar wind was influenced by
a coronal hole that rotated into geo-
effective position in the southern hemi-
sphere of the Sun. This is the type of
activity we expect to see, increasing-
ly, as we progress through this month.

 Because of this, short-path propagation between countries
in the northern hemisphere will drop out entirely. On the other
hand, because 10-meter propagation peaks in the fall, and
April is an autumn month in the southern hemisphere, long-
path DX is possible. The question during this year’s season
is whether the Sun is active enough to energize the ionos-
phere so that it is strong enough to support propagation of
higher HF frequencies.
Short-path propagation to South America, the South
Pacific, and other areas south of the equator will be strong
and reliable when open. But, with the current solar cycle just
beginning, don’t expect a lot from 10, 12, or 15 meters, except
on short-path runs during sporadic-E (Es) propagation.
From April to June, fair to good propagation occurs on both
daytime and nighttime paths on the middle high frequency
bands. The strongest propagation occurs on paths that span
areas of both day and night. During April, then peaking in
May and June, the 17- and 20-meter bands may offer occa-
sional 24-hour DX to all parts of the world. If you hear a lot
of echo on a signal, you might be beamed in the wrong direc-
tion. Try the opposite azimuth. The 20-meter band is more
stable at night, with propagation following gray-line and night-
time paths. Figure 4. The Sun at the wavelength of 192 Angstroms, which
