Biography
Welcome,
Glad you stopped by for a visit.
I enjoy many aspects of radio and working with antennas.
Some of my antennas are a Tennadyne HF Log Periodic with a V-Quad stacked above it.
MA5V Vertical, SPI-RO HF D-56, Dipoles, Inverted Vs, VHF, UHF and Satellite antennas, Discones and many Homebrew antennas.
Amatuer Radio gives the general public a chance to see that there's more to a computer than
ebay and games. They get to see the computer used as a tool.
Wefax shows everyone the weather pictures, charts, etc.
They see Hams live on SSTV where the internet does not reach.
=========================================================================================
We enjoy the Maine Potato Net on 3958 LSB which meets nightly. It is a home grown, kick off your shoes and sit back and enjoy your radio with a nice group of Hams.
The below net information is from Bob, N2FKW.
Due to the growing popularity of our net following the recent shift back to 6:30 PM EDT, we have had a lot of check ins. With so many check ins (20 to 30 is typical), things have become a bit too rushed, especially since we try to vacate the frequency at or before 8:15 PM EDT so that the Brothers Net can start up.

Lloyd N2KPC Net Manager
for the TEN-TEC Amateur Radio Nets on the air nets.

Here are the 4 weekly TEN-TEC Nets in the order in which they begin:
80 meter PSK31 net starts each Saturday at 8PM ET on 3.581 USB 1000 +/- on the Waterfall.The net is open to all and we check-in with
Name, State/Prov, Radio (all are welcome) and a Signal Report. NCS will confirm a log entry. If the band is busy look higher on the Waterfall.
Ben KE3KQ, PA is Net Control with Relay Net Controls Andy K9ARM, IL, and Tom N8NJY, MI.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
40 meter SSB net starts each Sunday at 8AM Eastern on 7.263.
Sandor KG4FET, TX is Net Control.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20 meter SSB net starts each Sunday at 3PM Eastern on 14.325.
Dan K4RF, NC is Net Control with James KF5FHZ, LA, Relay Net Control.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
40 meter CW net starts each Monday at 8PM ET, 7PM (CDT), 6PM (MDT), 5PM (PDT). on 7.063,
Rich N0ENO, KS is Net Control with Dave N1CGP ME, Relay Net Control.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please QNZ (zero beat) the signal of the CW Net Control Station. As we all know, radios can be tuned to the same frequency on the dial and still be some distance from each other in frequency. I would love to be able to hear you when you call me.
I’ll call for QRP stations (generally 5 watts or less on CW) and work those I hear. Our general format is to send the last two letters or number/letter combination of your call.
Then I’ll call QNB (relay) so I can take relays for any QRP stations I do not hear.
Then I’ll call QNI (general check-ins) for everyone else. Again, please send the last two letters or letter/number combination of your call. I appreciate the general enthusiasm to be first but please try to space your sending so that I can pick up the letters. Otherwise it is just a cocophony and I may not be able to pick out anyone. Please send the last two combination only once. We really want to pick up everybody.
When I call you back please send your Call, Name, State, Rig, RST, Key(er). Keeping the information in that order also helps the NCS and RNCS to capture the details in poor and fading band conditions. In order to get people into the net quickly, there is no need to send “My call is, my name is, my rig is, etc.” There is also no need to repeat anything. If I do not get it, I will come back to you and ask for whatever item I missed.
I’ll run a list of two or three stations at a time initially, and then I will take check-ins as I hear them.
I’ll call QNB to take relays for those I don’t hear. Relays are much appreciated. Simply answer my QNB call or call out QNB de your call and I’ll acknowledge you to pick up the station I don’t hear. Once you have the information, call me and relay the details or email the details to me if it will save time.
I was also asked to note that the speed limit for our net is 13 WPM.
Thank you for your patience with me and the band conditions, and your persistence to get in the log. I look forward to hearing you and logging you into the net.
Thanks,
Rich

Hometek LLC, Cheapham.com is where I get alot of things for the shack from Frank that you can't find anywhere else and the
service is great too.
Frank has a nice store in Lakehusrt, New Jersey and is a great help to Hams young and old. Thank You Frank, K2IYE for all
that you do. A nice place to stop on your way to the Jerset Shore right off of Route 70. Address: 24 Union Ave Store B,
Lakehurst, NJ 08733.
There is a very nice Homemade Ice Cream Shop 100 feet away next to Frank's store, Hint. Another great
reason to stop by and say hello with your Family, "Hey Honey do you want some Ice Cream"?
Of course the kids will want to stop by and there just happens to be a Ham Radio Store 100 feet away, HiHi.
My Wife Gaye KB2YOA and I always enjoy stopping by both places often.

Many people enjoy working the International Space Station on Voice, SSTV, Packet and repeater mode.
The International Space Station makes many voice contacts with schools all over the world with the help of Hams.
Both my Wife and I have enjoyed working the International Space Station "ISS" on voice and SSTV many times
and the Mir Space Station on Voice, SSTV, Packet Direct to the Space Crew, Packet message mailbox email daily for the
entire time Mir was in space. I sent the first SSTV pictures to MIR when they first started testing and setup their SSTV system.
I was watching MIR trying to send a SSTV picture of a solar panel and only getting part of the picture so I sent them a picture
with their call sign and my call sign on a picture, they switched over to voice and said, "N2KPC N2KPC, send us more
pictures, send us more pictures", so I did and then the fun began and continued until MIR's time in space came to a close.
One day they asked me what 2 meter repeater I used at home and I told them it was the Willingboro Area Repeater Group
in Willingboro, New Jersey and on the next pass they had some real fun, the dropped their call sign on 146.925 Repaeter
with a PL of 131.8 and there were about a dozen Hams on it at the time and one of the guys on the repeater said
RRIIGGHHTT and another said no way, but one of the guys on the repeater heard the dopper effect on simplex
and went back to MIR.
Then I talked to MIR and told the guys and girls it was really the MIR Space Station and everybody worked them.
The Hams on MIR laughed about that for a long time afterwards and so did I and still do. Of course I new about it ahead of
time and did not tell the folks on the repeater what was going to happen until MIR had a lot of fun with them first, HiHi.
We had a great time sending many pictures back and forth to each other and voice contacts daily.
One late night Mir called me out of bed because they had radio problems on MIR and asked me to call NASA to relay their
message to the USSR Mission Control for the next pass over the USSR to help solve the problem. Their Amatuer Radio saved
the day or night depending how you look at it, HIHI. The ATT Phone Operator stayed on the phone with me and she got thru
to NASA at the Greenville Maryland site as MIR had requested for the relay to the USSR. When all else had failed Amatuer
Radio came thru and I used one of two of my phone patches, one for HF and one for VHF/UHF always ready for health and
wefare or emergency communications as needed with no delays.

Sometimes a old sounder is hooked up to a morse code key to show what the Telegraph was like in the years of 1860's.
Other Hobbies are Birdwatching, Nature, Sea kayaking, Canoeing and Fly, Fresh, and Surf fishing with a Ten-Tec HF mobile
on HF on the Beach from the Beach Buggy four wheel drive truck. I enjoy hand feeding and feeding the birds. Don't forget to
put water out for them year round. Don't use a metal bowl or bird bath so their feet won't freeze to the metal surface.
Also I am a Shortwave Listener, and we like to decode data modes as well. We do many Burlington County ARES/RACES
events like the March of
Dimes, MS Walks and Drills along with traffic handling.
The ARES and Races group did great job during Hurricane Sandy handing reports and traffic when the Cell Phones, Landline
Phones, Emails,
computers and many others systems not working all over the Northeast USA because of the lack of Non-Battery back up systems.
Make sure that you have back up power in place when before you lose your power by having solar panels, batteries, generators
extra fuel, water,
food, first aid kit and prescriptions drugs and medications ready to go.

3030 (8) 1904 3rd size Silsby Mount Holly Fire Dept, Mount Holly, New Jersey, USA
(8) Rebuild of Silsby No.634 of 1880, 4th size.
American Fire Engine Co. / American-LaFrance (USA)
The American Fire Engine Company was formed in 1891 as a joint venture between the Silsby Manufacturing Co. of Seneca Falls, New York, the Ahrens Manufacturing Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio, the Clapp & Jones Manufacturing Co. of Hudson, New York, and the Button Fire Engine Co. of Waterford, New York. The idea of the merger was to reduce losses resulting from competition and legal disputes over patent rights, although each firm retained its own separate factory and products line. New models of engine were also introduced, the first of which was the "Columbian" (see above) that was designed for suburban fire stations of large cities. Around 1898 the "Metropolitan" model appeared, which would go on to become the company's best selling engine. On 14th December 1899, the American Fire Engine Co. joined forces with a number of other manufacturers of fire apparatus to form the International Fire Engine Company, with the aim of completely eliminating all competition of among fire equipment manufacturers. By 1904, however, the new venture was in trouble; unable to raise enough capital to cover its debts it went into receivership, and the surviving constituent companies went their own ways again. American took the decision to join forces with one of its former greatest rivals, the LaFrance Fire Engine Co. of Elmira, New York, to form the American-LaFrance Fire Engine Company, a name which would later become synonymous with the manufacture of fire engines in the United States.
Silsby #634 made in 1880 is the rebuilt #3030 in 1904 by the American-LaFrance Fire Engine Company.
Horace C. Silsby was born in Sheffield, Connecticut in 1817 but grew up in the village of Mendon, New York. After leaving school he worked as a clerk in various places before settling in the town of Seneca Falls, New York in 1836, where he set up a workshop with his brother William and brother-in-law William Wheeler to manufacture axes and mill picks. He later moved into the hardware trade, establishing the Island Works at Seneca Falls in 1845 to produce pumps and stove castings - one of his employees was Birdsall Holly, who developed and patented the novel design of rotary pump that would determine the future course of Silsby's life. By 1856, when Silsby began to experiment with building a steam fire engine, the firm was known as Silsby, Mynderse & Co. as a result of a partnership with Edward Mynderse and John Shoemaker. The first Silsby, Mynderse & Co. steam fire engine was completed the same year - self-propelled and weighing around 9500 lbs, it was named 'Neptune' and incorporated Holly's design of rotary pump. The engine was exhibited at the Crystal Palace in New York City in 1856 but was never sold and was broken up shortly afterwards. The first production engine, named 'Long John', was built the following year and sold to the city of Chicago for $5000. (Incidentally, one of Silsby's employees at this time was Mirtillow R. Clapp, who went on to found Clapp & Jones.) In the early 1860s Silsby parted company with Mynderse and Shoemaker and the firm became known as the Silsby Manufacturing Co. Further refinements were made to the rotary engine design and by the mid 1870s the Silsby steam fire engine had assumed the form that it would take from that point onwards - a crane-neck frame with horizontally-mounted rotary steam cylinder and rotary pump. Although Silsby engines attracted a loyal following, competition in the steam fire engine market was fierce, and in 1891 the decision was taken to merge with the Ahrens Manufacturing Co., the Clapp & Jones Manufacturing Co. and the Button Fire Engine Co. to form the American Fire Engine Company. By this stage more than a thousand Silsby engines had already been built and they would continue to be manufactured at Seneca Falls to the same design until around 1905, albeit under a different name.

Since 1995 those Ten-Tec's are alive and well still going strong on the air.
That says a lot for TEN-TEC Radios.
Most of the staff at the Channel 6 News were Hams too, but they can't do a News Story on themselves.
So I had the pleasure of them coming to my house and we had a BBQ after the filming and worked DX and Digi modes too.
We had a BBQ enjoying Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, Baked Beans, Potatoe Salad, Ice Tea, Chips and most of all fun on the on the air with the
TEN-TEC Radio's and Brownies to top it off.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot the Chickadee Eggs were hatching in the bird boxes and they got a kick out of that too.
Enjoy a little history.73,

We members of SKYWARN.
Link to SKYWARM for weather alerts
The United States is the most severe weather-prone country in the world. Each year, people in this country cope with an average of 10,000 thunderstorms, 5,000 floods, 1,200 tornadoes, and two landfalling hurricanes. Approximately 90% of all presidentially declared disasters are weather-related, causing around 500 deaths each year and nearly $14 billion in damage.
SKYWARN® is a National Weather Service (NWS) program developed in the 1960s that consists of trained weather spotters who provide reports of severe and hazardous weather to help meteorologists make life-saving warning decisions. Spotters are concerned citizens, amateur radio operators, truck drivers, mariners, airplane pilots, emergency management personnel, and public safety officials who volunteer their time and energy to report on hazardous weather impacting their community.
Although, NWS has access to data from Doppler radar, satellite, and surface weather stations, technology cannot detect every instance of hazardous weather. Spotters help fill in the gaps by reporting hail, wind damage, flooding, heavy snow, tornadoes and waterspouts. Radar is an excellent tool, but it is just that: one tool among many that NWS uses. We need spotters to report how storms and other hydrometeorological phenomena are impacting their area.
SKYWARN® spotter reports provide vital “ground truth” to the NWS. They act as our eyes and ears in the field. Spotter reports help our meteorologists issue timely, accurate, and detailed warnings by confirming hazardous weather detected by NWS radar. Spotters also provide critical verification information that helps improve future warning services. SKYWARN® Spotters serve their local communities by acting as a vital source of information when dangerous storms approach. Without spotters, NWS would be less able to fulfill its mission of protecting life and property.

I have operated Railroad Mobile from K-4 Pacific Steam Locomotive No. 1361 Passenger Train from Altoona, PA
to Moscow, PA Excersion.Trip.

K-4 Steam Locomotive #1361
Built in Altoona in may 1918 and retired from service in 1956 after logging 2.5 million miles, #1361 is one of 425 locomotives of that class that saw service before the end of Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) steam in 1957.
These 150-ton Pacific locomotives with 80-inch drivers could take 10 passenger cars around the Horseshoe Curve and approach 100 miles per hour on level ground. The official state steam locomotive #1361 is one of two of her type saved and was exhibited at the Horseshoe Curve from 1957 until 1985. she was refurbished in 1987 and taken on several excursions, until an axle failure forced the locomotive back to the shops. Currently being rebuilt under Museum direction at the Museum in Altoona, PA.The last run of a Pennsylvania Railroad K-4 was #5351 from Pemberton to Camden, NJ on Nov. 12th. 1957. I who was three years old was on the Mount Holly, NJ Train Station Platfom with my Bother Michael age 7,
my Father Francis, my Mother Katherine "Kitty" with my Grand Mother Edna who was filming in 8MM color
my Grand Father Jack getting off of the K-4 Locomotive's last run. The K-4 had three Pullman Cars and we are with the Steam Train in the movie. my Grand Mother filmed that historical day. 11-12-1957.The last run of a Pennsylvania Railroad K-4 was #5351 from Pemberton to Camden, NJ on Nov. 12th. 1957 which was about 62 years ago as I am writing this update July 26, 2019. I'll be 65 Aug.3, 2019 and I remember my Family and the K-4 #5351 last run like it was yesterday, Amen.
