A Word from The
President
Hello,
Summer time and the living is easy" or
so says the song. Hopefully your
summer is an easy and enjoyable one.
I was privileged to be present for the
start of operation of VE2XPO and a
contact with W1AW. While we could
not have a good conversation with the
operators in Newington we did, nonetheless, make the first contact with
W1AW as was done forty years ago.
Roland Masse, VE2PX, Jean Massicotte, VE2JMK and Jacques Hamel,
VE2DJQ are all to be congratulated
for their part in the effort. Roland was
the original manager in 1967 and came
up with the idea and worked it through
the city bureaucracy. Jean was in
charge of the technical set-up and
RAQI made its communications trailer
available for the event and the Quebec
Radio Museum provided an exhibit
and Jacques was able to track down
some of the original equipment used in
1967. Thanks are also due to Gille
Legacé, VE2XPO, for permission to
use his callsign for the station.
On June 10 the club hosted the RAQI
Annual General Meeting and welcomed amateurs to our meeting place.
An exhibit of some of the certificates
and awards of Al Daemen, VE2IJ, was
shown along with the club's anniversary exhibit from the fleamarket and
the small post AGM reception was
enjoyed by those present.
I would like to thank all of those who
helped with the RAQI meeting as it
has certainly generated good will for
MARC and confirmed MARC's place
as a full participant in the Amateur
Radio scene in Montreal and Quebec.
While the next meeting is not until
September we do want to keep in
touch with the members. Summer affords an opportunity for outdoor projects, visiting and other activities.
Hopefully this will be a good summer
for all and I look forward to seeing
you in the fall and at our anniversary
dinner in October.

From the Editor’s Desk
First, I would like to say a little about
our initial edition of the Ham Podcast.
Yes it was finally produced and published on the web available at:
http://podcam.libsyn.com.
I can’t tell at this stage if it was a success. It appears that we had around 88
downloads as of July 01, 2007. From
the numbers point of view I can assume that it was some level of success
but from feedback comments, well
that’s another subject. Anyhow I certainly won’t give up at this stage, it
was our initial attempt at something
very new so we can’t expect to bowl
people over on the first try and especially radio amateurs. So, we have
started to produce edition number two
and we’ll let you know through the
MARC website when it’s available.
The web sites that you can obtain information regarding the podcast is:
I have an experience in a similar situation. A few years back, I was charged
with evaluating training programs for
electronic communication technicians
and it’s relationship to the actual tasks
at hand.
Our initial task was to carry out job
analysis to determine what was really
required of the technician to maintain
and keep the facilities operational.
This was a long and detailed analysis
but to keep the story short. Predominantly, all the equipment was of solidstate design with 95% circuit boards to
be replaced on failure, Our results
showed that most failures were power
related or antenna mismatching and
the weakness of the technicians in
their ability to use the available (often
built-in) test equipment. This was a
first-line maintenance/operating activity and not a repair and overhaul requirement. Many installations were
remote locations and the technician(s)
prime operational requirement was to
keep the facilities operating in accordance with specified procedures and
practices.
I liken this very much to the present
day new radio amateur. His prime need
is to understand the various modes of
operation, what type of equipment is
needed to operate in these modes and
operate his station in accordances to
procedures and regulations. Most of us
are unlikely to delve to deeply inside
the black boxes however, we do need a

good understanding of the power supplies needed to fire up these equipments and a knowledge of the type of
antennas required and how to match
them to the so-called black boxes.
So yes, the “geek level has change”
and I think we must change with it.
Just my two-cents worth.

ARRAY OF NEW GEAR DEBUTS
AT DAYTON 2007
It's always a treat to get your first look
at a new HF transceiver at Dayton.
This year, there were no fewer than six
to drool over. Here, in alphabetical
order, is a rundown:
Elecraft <http://www.elecraft.com/>
announced its new K3 HF and 6 meter

transceiver. It includes many upgrade
options, so many, in fact, that you
can configure anything from a kit-built
10 W portable QRP radio to a
full-featured, contest-ready 100 W rig
with *two* high-performance
receivers. It is scheduled to ship starting in July.
FlexRadio Systems
<http://www.flex-radio.com/>, a pioneer in high-performance software
defined radios (SDRs), introduced its
Flex-5000 HF plus 6-meter transceiver
series that promises higher performance and more features than its earlier
model. Included are the Flex-5000C, a
fully integrated system in a single box,
and the Flex-5000D, which includes
asecond receiver.
Hilberling, the first Amateur Radio
transceiver maker from across the
Atlantic for some years, announced its
PT-8000 transceiver. It's offered as
a full-featured HF and VHF transceiver available in 10, 100 or 600 W
versions. The North America distributor is Array Solutions
<http://www.arraysolutions.com/>.
ICOM<http://www.icomamerica.com/
> unveiled its IC-7700 HF + 6 meter
transceiver. It appears to be a singlereceiver version of its top-tier
IC-7800, sharing the 200 W transmitter, high performance receiver and 7inch display of its sibling. Contesters
are the market target, but the IC-7700
may be of interest to anyone who covets the features of the IC-7800 but

doesn't need two receivers or the
higher price tag.
Ten-Tec <http://www.tentec.com/> has
its new Omni-VII HF + 6 meter
transceiver on display. The unit's "distributed roofing filter architecture"
promises ham-band-only receive performance with a general coverage receiver.
Stay tuned for the "Product Review" in
July QST.
Finally, Yaesu
<http://www.yaesu.com/> showed its
new FT-450 HF + 6 meter offering.
The FT-450 bears some similarities to
the Yaesu FT-2000, but with fewer
features and a correspondingly lower
price.
What else?
Array Solutions is distributing the
SPE Expert 1K-FA solid-state linear
amplifier. It is a compact light weight
(44 pounds) fully automated, full
break-in capable amplifier that puts
out 1000 W PEP on 160 through 10
meters (700 W PEP on 6 meters). It
has an internal 120 or 240 V ac power
supply and antenna tuner.
Dishtronix<http://www.dishtronix.co
m/> showed off its 100% duty cycle,
1500W output (on all modes) solidstate linear. This is a "serious" amplifier at 65 pounds with the choice of a
separate 120 pound linear power supply or 54 pound switcher.
Tokyo Hy-Power
<http://www.thp.co.jp/> enjoyed a
great debut at Dayton this year, showing three HF amplifiers newly introduced to the US market. On display
were the HL-1.2KFX 750 W output,
HL-1.5KFX 1 kW output and
HL-2.5KFX legal limit amplifiers as
well as the HL-500V 2 meter linear.
All are solid state. THP also offers a
new legal-limit automatic antenna
tuner.
Kenwood<http://www.kenwood.com/
> announced a new V/UHF mobile
transceiver, the TM-71A. Of particular
note is free software that allows downloading repeater data from ARRL's

30> directly into radio memories. It
also can function as a crossband repeater.
Yaesu introduced a new V/UHF transceiver especially for hams on the go!
The FTM-10 is designed to mount on
the handlebars of your bike or motorcycle so that you don't even need a
mic! Just talk into the front panel, and
you're on the air!
Radio accessories are always popular
at Dayton and MFJ can always be
counted on to have new products.
Topping the list this year is the MFJ998 1500 W Intellituner. This legallimit auto tuner is designed to handle
loads from 12 to 1600 ohms from 160
to 10 meters and includes two outputs
and sophisticated memory, protection
and control features.
West Mountain Radio
<http://www.westmountainradio.com/
>, the RigBlaster and RigRunner folk,
have branched out into the audio side
of your radios. They introduced a
DSP-equipped speaker designed for
the HF operator who would like more
signal and less noise.
Palstar <http://www.palstar.com/>
has a new AT1KP tuner that covers
160 through 6 meters. By switching in
the 160 meter inductance only when
needed, the AT1KP reduces the minimum capacitance of the tuner so it can
cover 6 meters.

Army MARS HF e-mail system
passes "hurricane test"
For this first comprehensive trial run,
Army MARS mobilized a new Winlink digital communication system,
with Air Force and Navy-Marine
Corps MARS members providing active support.
Operation Sidewinder marked the first
comprehensive demonstration of the
TSA's partnership with the Army
MARS, a Pentagon-sponsored organization of volunteer Amateur Radio
operators that supports federal government agencies during emergencies.
MARS has some 5000 members in its
separate Army, Air Force and NavyMarine Corps branches. Operation
Sidewinder called for a Category 3
hurricane to make landfall at Miami,
continuing on toward Houston. To drill
MARS's capabilities in multiple emergencies, a possible terrorist operation
concurrent with the weather emergency was added.
Earlier this year, the TSA, part of the
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), adopted the MARS Winlink
emergency communications network
for deployment at major airports. The
use of Winlink 2000 permits access to
SHARES [SHared RESources program of the National Communications
System] and MARS systems via conventional HF/VHF/UHF radio circuits.
Army MARS Chief Stuart Carter said
Operation Sidewinder gave MARS
members the opportunity to demon-

VHF communication, HF e-mail, a

an Army MARS volunteer's vehicle
capable of indefinite HF operations
and two small, light and portable HF
suites.

ITEMS FOR SALE
Yaesu FT-847 Transceiver, this unit
has only 4 or so hours of operation.
Mint condition, no issues, complete as
the day it was purchased. Purchased by
my brother inlaw, who thought that
amateur radio would be a fun hobby.
He did not like the hobby. ( I’m the
one who has put on the 4 hours of operation on the radio.)
Yaesu FR-101S Receiver with 2 & 6
meter converters, FM board, CW &
SSB filters with match speaker. Looks
and operates like new. Also covers major shortwave bands. Must see to fully
appreciate.
Lafayette HA-800 Ham Band Receiver, covers 80 to 6 meters. Fully
solid state. A great performer. For
more information-contact John @
