First of all1 a history background on the three members invited to aid the Committee:

In the July issue of the ·_.I!)XgER; John Trester, W6ISQ, raised the question - why doesn at the NCDXC go ori a repeate·r? · He listed various reasons of his own, and th_is led President .W6NAV to set. ·up a committee· to investigate the .'0pros & cons 11

of a. ·:repeater. The foliowi!ig repol?t will consist of "questions and answersn type of analysis, followed by•a i:summary and recommendation.

l'lhat is a repeater? -·" .·.• J. , .. ; Jr·· . ~

A rE?peater i~ merely a receiver-transmitter set-up; the _receivet-receiving a signal on one frequency and transmitting the same signal on an~ther f]:'equenc3"··

What ,advantages ·are there in a FN r epeater over our. present AN: set-up?

- ~The present AN set-up is such that only-those with,fairly,good line-of-sight locations in the Bay Area can coinrnunicate with ·each other. There are others who would like to join in on the net but cannot hear or be heard. ·A typical · example-. would l;)e those living in the -l'farin and San Francisco Counties. They for the most part are unable to hear anyone ··· in the South· Peninsulla area. Also we have members who are outside of the Bay Area (e . g ., W6KOE - .Los Banos) and are ' . completely in · the dark as to the activities going on. It is the purpose, to get more activity from·more ·members from a greater land coverage. With all members con65eritrating thefr dipoles' verticals or beams at the repeater (depending on

FN REPEATER CQl'iJlVliTTEE REPORT (Continued)

the line-of-sight location) there would be po ques_tion as to . communication coverage.

If we are to ha.;e coverage outside member listeners -and possibly more information is passed on the Net)?

of the Bay Area, won'0 t we ' invite more non­QRM on a DX stationbeihg worked (when DX

The purpose of the Net is. to ~ cr~ate bx irlforniat:ion as weiLas other infor­mation among mE;>inbers, ·There a:re currently.many non.:member listeners on the AM frequency, and ·our object' is NOT to uvkic)S'w ·· them out, but to enhance DX to all. We may be able to create more interest among non-members as well as members.

What other advantages are there?

. One 9f the 'g~eatestadvantages is 'to have more members participate in giving a: ' DX station ·a contact with a NCDXC member for the California Award, and the best place to be is on FM, where:. the information rega:r-ding a DX station wanting such contacts can be circulated over a wider area th.:1t at ·pre.sent.

For the technically inclined, it was pointed out that a FlVl receiver has a · compls7te· advantl:\g~? · dv:er an Al'1 ·receiver. An AM signal can break squelch at O.J.: microvolts. If yqu increase:. the signal, the noise 'will 'also increase· to a certain point, , normally about 1 to Z ·mici:'ovolts to get full cfuieting. A FM signal can also break squelch at 0.3 microvolts, but it takes only about 0.8 microvolts to get full quieting. Thus one wJll . _not be bothered by. th(l} noise produced by an AN receiver. The Fl'1 receiver 0s squelch will silence all noise · until a signal appears.

'h"hat~are . the dis~dvant~ges of·~ FM.repeater?

The primary disadvantage to the Club and each ' member wanting to get on thee repeater is tn~ cost. It will cost no more that $250 fo~ .. the repeater set-up itself. The cost to each member to get on tho repeater varies. For those who already havE;? Al'1 gear and do not wish to spend more money ori equipment, it will cost them the··least <amount since their gear can be modified for about a couple of dolla:r-s, to :get the.m on ' FM •. As for those who do not have 2-meter equipment I their cost will range from $40 for a used .l'Jiotorola to about '$250 for a used G.E. Progress line (60 watts) unit. It all depends on their individual desires ••• . • .home station, mobile, ol:' both. ·

NOTE: ' It has be.en ind.icated that there are a .. fevi members in the Club who are willing to d011at~ cash and/or equipment towards the set-up of a repeater. This in effect' will cut the ClubQs cost for the initial repeater set-up.

How do· ;-w set .up a repeater and how much will it cost?

Setting up a fN repeater is quite' simple. Al Neilso~n and Don Schliesser have offered to ~e;t the Club up with a complete repeater. The cost of the equipment will be no more than $250 (this includes Rcvr-Xmtr, tower, antenna and a l l other l;tardware. Also, there would be no labor charge i ) .

Who is going t'p maintain the repeater?

A technical committee ' will be formed for this function. Also, it was noted that in·case ·of sev;ere· breakdown there are many qualified technicians familiar with FlVI repeaters in the Ba:y Area who would give the Club 8:ssistance at no cost.

If the -repeater breaks down, would the Net cease operation. u.ntil rop;tirs are · madE3',?

No. The same rig can be used for direct communicatmons without the repeater if such an,_ event would happen. This type of communications is known as 01SimpleX11

operation.-

THE CATS NET - - A little Ybowing Before the New Eitter

Elsewhere in this issue you will read a committee report ·6ri-·tn.e ··pr-oposed. --~ ­Club -. 2-rne-ter:: .~.FM :repeater .net. Such a net would surely broaden our DX ipfO' .·. · umbrella, n: .. :whit:h,·,is.· the :. purpose-. : :,- · · · . ,.

~~--c. However~. a1't~F ii~teni~g _t_ci \:he gbod j6id CATS .ne.t lately, I think t~_er~; a~e> a few things we ought' to straighten out and agree · on·~ in principal -:-:- · just so the confusion ...... or acrimonj --:won°t incr~ase proportionate;ty with the_ FM !·e.peq.t~_r. cov:erage.- ·: · - - .:. -- .-. --. , , ,,, . . r

:i ;_;i'It seems ;t6-Jne we are getting_ tighter , and tighter with the -DX -izio w~- · : me'htidil over· the· Net. To say nothing . of the-;, shamel~ss t<'l,~bys who listen but refuse to buy a mike. · Thus, a couple of fellas get a good DX prize cornered.-­and.; coach ea~h other on -,--put· when askedwhaVs go.ing ofi-:.i. ... refuse toans.wer. ,_ , Such actions are bound ._ to rais&~ •-.;i -hackle around and 'about, and chh.nces _-ar~ ~ tl:le:, •

__ -fellas · are .-~ruy _playing King.;,af~the · Hill -anyway _.;;· orthat other· favorite -indo9r . ­sport ,.~- - ~'so who needs it?" Well then, why, ali -the;~-se_crecy? 1.:f sqm~bq(;Jy- as~s -~ ... _ why riot tell 0em? .. . _: - . ,_ ·:,;_ ' -· · - i_ - · ·

_ l}.nyr,tay, we 0 ve alldone this sort of thing new ·and then~ But :when it really_ hurts is when the stat;i.ons who are' involved in the conspira,ey'finally release- the= info.to .. the eca'V!engers with a ••.• •'Oh, did you need the· YI? I was just thanking him for hiS' ·•Qsn;e• --

&y I suggest there may be a better way. And may I further suggest we try it for a while -- what can ya· lose? A few countries 1 Ya wanna work 0 em all? Today? - ~J. , • .· .. .. • .. ·-- __ _

Ito s like. this • If yofr ~rid your buddies · are working- something pretty good that might be interesting to others, announce it-- or at least don°t keep .it a secret if youQre asked. But - -; ::QUALIFY IT -- like thf s: -- ·- ··......: .. :.::. -- ·

. .. . ~ ; ,_. ' · f~?. . ·, ;

88Pm working a 9Q5 oh .•.• -~ :Dcie~ ·· any~h~ rl~~d him fo~ 3. new one?" '

If the answer is ~'yes 88 somebody does . nee;cl ,the 9Q5 for nn all-time new one-, are there really any· -~embers who woUJ.dn°t •drag ·their feet a little; to l~t the -~~n try to work a new one? ,,, ·.· . ! ·:: , .·

Now, if there is no answer to the first riet.' call,, perhaps . someone hollers t that he needs the 9Q5 .for a new one on CW or SSB, OK ',;;;~ he should have next crack, Then come fellas who need the 9Q5 for a new one on 5BDXCC. : --

But no matter what, the fella who hea.~s the station first woi'ks him first if he wants to and if he can. That 0 s proper. · ·

All right, thE?n.- ' When the rarer ones come along,: why don°t we agree:._to some sort of loose ·priority system to give some ofthe .fellas a 'hetter than ' even break, So --

First call _...;. needs the statio,n for all-time new country Second call -- needs the station for new one on CW/SSB Third call -- needs the station for new 5BDXCC

... , :_, ;. ....

After these :6alls, it0s open seas'on. That ain°t so unreasonablenow, 'is it?

, In contests, it 0 s a little diffe~eht. We are competing with SCDXC and other groups so we want good info p'!Lssed ori -the net. But, -we are also, to a much · .

. l ess er ~:dent, . competing among ·aurs.eives. So I· have· !'l.dopted this met hod which_ seems rather fair, all things considered. If I am lucky .;md work -a good.- multi­_plier . a~l ·by ~elf (h~ghly .unli~ely)· without hearing other members calling, I will.; ,~rmounce,-; it immediately. · If; .howE?ver, ·· I hear other NCDXC members still calling that station I will nC!t '- announce t he : station right away • Rather { I gi VEll

the fellas who have already f ound · the station a chanc.e to work him before

decreasing their chances by giving it away over .the net. How many t:t!7J.~~.ha.ve: you been in there calling your lung~ _m,J.t, ,and when you think you 0 ve f:i,nally whittled your' w~iy :'io' e'boiit the bdftom'df trre pile~ you hear ~orne net ·member announce': your station• ~ Youlfre' ·:·±Hu~d.atea'"and have"to start alJ~ 'ovsr aga:Lril · .• .. .~ . .· . . .-

So what I do is to continue tuning, and return from time tq time ,tq. see i.f . the members are still calling. When I don°t hear other members calling any. more>, I announce 'tne ,stat:ion -:- i.u1le's"s 'iVs' aiready ·"Qe:ek 'announci:ed~.
