From the President,
Dennis Kidder, W6DQ
So, how do you like your new privileges? I hope you have at least tried to use them. Some of us have been discussing the possibility of bringing an old club net back to life ... on 10 meters! Now that ALL amateurs have access to at least a part of the 28 MHz phone band, it seems fitting that we encourage club members to become active on HF if they aren't already. Let me know what you think.
From the March meeting, I would again like to thank Mick Stwertnik, WB6JVT, President of NCG, for his presentation on their products and a donation of one of their new dual-band mobile antennas for our drawing.
The upcoming April meeting promises to be an exciting one! I am delighted to hear that Dave Bell,W6AQ, will be our guest speaker. As one of Amateur Radio's biggest promoters, we can all take
inspiration from his work. I am really looking forward to this one!
Don't forget that for this month only we are meeting at the Greater Long Beach Chapter of the American Red Cross. Why? Well, I'm glad you asked. Signal Hill is holding the annual Easter Eggstravaganza at City Hall, and it is the Saturday following our general meeting. The meeting room is being used in preparation for the event. This is
one of the events that we, as ARALB, participate in order to secure the use of the meeting room through the rest of the year. In exchange for our donated time, we are given the use of the meeting room at no charge. Think about coming out on behalf of ARALB and helping to spread some cheer to the kids in the community!
And although it seems far off at this time, Field Day is coming fast and will be here before you know it. It takes a lot of planning to pull off a successful event. Think about what you might be willing to do to help out with our Field Day efforts again this year. Don't forget about the Yard Sale coming in May. Here's another chance to support ARALB by donating your old "stuff" to this event.Remember, this is one way in which we defer the costs of Field Day. Our level of success in the yard sale determines whether we dine on steak .... or Spam.
Last, but certainly not least, we still need help with many club activities. At the top of the list is The Oscillator. This is a vital club organ and is in desperate need of a new "home." Carina, KF6ZYY,and Michael, W6MJF, have taken this on in a temporary assignment until we can find a new volunteer editor. If you have a yearning to be "The Chief" of a distinguished newsletter, here's your chance. Let us know if you're interested.See you all at the April meeting! 73 - dennis W6DQ

There’s a New Game In Town The Egg Drawing Is Cracked
Have you ever thought about the Egg Drawing? Month after month we draw an egg with someone’s name who is not present to win, or someone who seemingly is unknown to anyone in the club, or even an SK. Then someone lugs home the eggs and their crate,usually grumbling about carrying this load.
Starting at the April General Meeting we’ll try something NEW.Wear your name badge, and you’ll receive one ticket for a prize drawing to be given that night. Not from the ARALB? Wear your name badge from any club. Forget your badge, and you can make a paper stick-on badge at the door. You’ll still get a ticket.
The badge prize will be something small, approximately $5.00 in value. In this way we will spend the same amount per year as the Egg Drawing, but we’ll have 12 winners rather than one or two.We hope you like it! Don’t forget to wear your badge!
The connection may seem slightly detached, but it’s true! We help the City of Signal Hill the day after our next meeting in April, and they improve our reception the rest of the year!
That’s because the City of Signal Hill needs our help on Saturday,April 7, 2007, to host their annual community Easter Eggstravaganza, and ARALB needs their Community Center the rest of the year to host our monthly meetings.
Please arrive at the Signal Hill Community Center by 8:00 AM,and be prepared to receive kids and parents by 9:00. Talk-in is on 145.520 MHz (simplex). With your help, our reception on Signal Hill will be excellent
Elmer’s Corner Hello! Anybody out there? By Dennis Kidder, W6DQ
In February we talked a little on getting started on HF. Well, the day has come, and you are now the proud holder of HF privileges. So, what next? How do you get started talking to others? Well, this month we’ll talk about some of the finer points of HF operations.
Many of you have heard me give my “first three rules” of communications, namely, “1. Listen.2. Listen. 3. Listen.” These rules hold true as much on HF as they do during emergency communications and maybe even more so. Why?
Propagation. When you key that microphone, your signal may very well traverse the world. So, it really pays to listen around first before ever keying that PTT switch.
Listening will tell you a few things before you ever say a word. First, you get a rough idea of any activity already in progress on the band. Second,you get an idea of how propagation is doing.Propagation is dependent upon many factors: time of day, season, and of course the sunspot cycle. It is important to consider all of these things prior to
going on the air. Or, is it? More on that in a bit.Getting Started
So, let’s say that you hear a few stations on the air and they are all busy in QSO with others.How do you make a contact? Well, the first thing you need to do is to find a clear spot to begin calling.This may not be as simple as it sounds. Again it depends on all those things I mentioned earlier: time of day, season, and sunspots. And of course, if there are any contests in progress … but we’ll leave THAT topic for a future column.
Assuming that you’ve found a clear frequency,what now? One common technique that I hear a lot is to call, “Is this frequency in use?” In many ways, this is really being a good neighbor.Remember propagation? It is quite possible that
the quiet frequency you hear is in use, but you can only hear one side of the transmission, and the side you CAN hear is listening while you call out. He will hear you AND the station he is in QSO with at the time. He SHOULD acknowledge your call and let you know that the frequency is in use. If this happens, just thank him, ID and move to another clear frequency and repeat the process.
So, let’s just say that you’ve made that call and there was no response. Now what? The best technique to use is to “Call CQ.” CQ is a prosign that essentially means “I am willing to speak with anyone who wishes to speak with me.” Remember that this is not your local two meter repeater and “W6DQ listening,” is not the best approach to making contacts here. A time-honored technique of saying “CQ” three times, followed by your call three times, is a good approach. It would sound something like this: “CQ, CQ, CQ, this is W6DQ,Whiskey Six Delta Quebec, W6DQ,calling CQ and standing by.” There are many variations to this, but keeping the call short and simple has always worked best for me. It is important that the other station be able to understand your callsign, hence the use of the International phonetics. Cute little phrases are fine with your buddies on two meters,but they don’t hold up well on HF. You just never know who you may talk with next, it could be someone just down the street, or it could be someone halfway around the world for whom English is a second language.
Again, you can continue this process until you get a response. And the response may be something like, “W6DQ, this is Alpha Charlie Three Papa Tango, AC3PT, calling and standing by.” (That would have been a dream QSO back in the day, yeah?*) And so on and so forth. You would return the call, his call first followed by yours, acknowledging the reception of the call. A typical QSO would then go on to give a signal report and your name and location (QTH). You will soon find that there is plenty to talk about … weather, your radio, your antennas, other hobbies and the list goes on.
Someone else calling CQ? Just reverse the process. When they finish, call them, their call first, followed by yours, at least once phonetically.And let the process unfold. You will quickly get the hang of it and be an old hand before too long.On Sunspots
So, just how important is all the stuff about time of day, season and sunspots? Well, if you
There are several vacant committees that you might enjoy if you were to step forward and offer some time. If you’re interested in any of these, ask any Director or Officer. And remember that asking is not committing. We want each club member to participate in activities they enjoy and at a level that is comfortable.
Do you hold a Certificate of Successful Completion (CSCE) for an Element 3 or 4 written test? CSCEs are valid for one year from date of issue. If you are unsure whether your CSCE is still valid, bring the CSCE and a legible copy to any testing session, and check with the Volunteer Examiner-in-Charge.
Present the CSCE original and copy at the examination session, along with a copy of your current Amateur Radio license, plus the processing fee. Do not give up the original Amateur Radio license. The original CSCE is yours and will be returned during the session.
The club Testing Committee sessions are held at 900 hours on the third Saturday morning each month at the CSULB University Police Station.Please arrive on time. You can pre-register with Louise Chapman, N6ELK, by email
N6ELK@aol.com or telephone 562-429-1355. She will have your "605" registration form ready to sign when you arrive at the session. The fee for monthly club testing is $4.00.
For FCC Rules or testing questions contact Tom Gibbons, W9EYB, the Testing Committee Chairman. You may reach him by email at tlgnov6@yahoo.com or w9eyb@arrl.net or by telephone at 562-529-8644.
A tip of the ARALB hat to the many Volunteer Examiners participating in the ARALB Testing Program. Their time and talents are very much appreciated.
Do You Remember Way Back When?
Calling all past ARALB members (especially the more senior ones). If you happen to have a copy of past membership rosters, on paper or computer file, please contact Membership Chairman Bob Grubic, NC6Q. He is trying to reconstruct a history and record of all past members and the years they were in the club. If you were a past officer of the club, you just might have a typed list or printout of some old club rosters hidden in a box somewhere. Please contact Bob by email at NC6Q@arrl.net.happen to find yourself tuning around a supposed “dead” band during one
of our many big contest weekends, you’ll discover just how UNimportant it really is. You can usually find activity anywhere you look for it, within reason. Don’t expect to find
South Africa on 80 meters in the middle of the day,but certainly give 10 or 15 a try. Even though it is a low part of the sunspot cycle right now, there is still propagation, and there may be others out there tuning around listening.
Other Resources
While listening is always a good way to learn the techniques, whom you listen to is also important. Not every operator has the best techniques. I suggest an invaluable resource for ANY ham is The ARRL Operating Manual. This is a good source of information on operating techniques and is a wealth of information in many other areas, such as, setting up your first station. I have never been without a copy, and as they get updated from time to time, I always have a fresh copy around. Of course, the Web is another good source of information, and the ARRL Web site has some good guidance as well.
By all means, when in doubt, ask someone.That’s what Elmers are all about. Get advice from an experienced operator. They are a great source of operating information.
In the meantime, get out there and make some contacts! QRZ? Who is the station calling me?? 73, -W6DQ
* BTW – AC3PT was a very sought after QSL card back in the 60’s and 70’s. He was King of the Principality of Sikkim. One of the rare ones

And remember that asking is not committing. We want each club member to participate in activities they enjoy and at a level that is comfortable.
- The Oscillator: You’ll learn a lot as Editor,and you will have several assistants who will help write, proof, print and mail, and email thenewsletter. A very big and very important job!
- Field Day: Assist Dennis Kidder, W6DQ, and organize band captains, plan menus, arrange for facilities, manage finances, record contest points and submit our Field Day results.Another big and very important job, with lots of helpers to assist.
- 7-3 Committee: Be the first chairman of this new committee, and you’ll set the course for its success. respond to the health and welfare news of our members, be an official greeter at the meetings, organize our holiday greetings at the end of the year. This committee is key to adding the personal touch to our club.
- Club Net: As chairman of the Club Net you can be Net Control, or you can rotate the Net Control position in any of several ways. If you don’t have a strong enough base station at home, you can run the Net from the ECOC or from W6RO. This is a club net that helps allclub members keep in touch with each other.
- Training Committee: Would you like to organize classes? Perhaps teach classes? The Club and the ARRL have training materials available, and we have people asking for classes. Help keep ham radio alive by spreading the hobby!
- Scholarship Committee: The Hal Nahmens Scholarship Committee funds a $250 scholarship each year to help beginners get into ham radio. Help decide how the scholarship should be awarded.
- Refreshments: What would a club meeting be without refreshments? Tap a few club members on the shoulder and ask them to sign up to bring refreshments to one meeting. Arrive at the meeting in time to make the coffee. Your job will be done, and we’ll all be happy.Help keep the ARALB the BEST radio club around. Participate in a committee. Again, ask anyOfficer or Director for more details before you decide.
Do you hold a Certificate of Successful Completion (CSCE) for an Element 3 or 4 written test? CSCEs are valid for one year from date of issue. If you are unsure whether your CSCE is still valid, bring the CSCE and a legible copy to any testing session, and check with the Volunteer Examiner-in-Charge.
