"Baker is Brutal!" KH1/KH7Z DXpedition Team Reports upon Arrival
"Baker is brutal!" That was the initial assessment from the Baker
Island KH1/KH7Z DXpedition team, which arrived at the uninhabited
South Pacific atoll on June 26 at local sunrise, following a 4-day sea
voyage. The KH1/KH7Z team started up early on June 27, initially with
four stations on the air, with additional stations and modes,
including FT8, joining the fray by June 28.
"Island conditions are extremely hot and difficult. Long work periods
in the sun are challenging," a June 27 DXpedition news update
reported. The team reported that the landing "was not too bad, but the
island is an oven," with the temperature well above 100 °F by
mid-morning. Despite challenging tides, the crew of the Nai'a was able
to offload all tents, generators, and emergency supplies. After the
initial landing team left "totally exhausted," a fresh crew arrived to
put up the tents for sleeping and move radios, antennas, and
generators to the storage and operating tents.
"They say it never rains on Baker," the DXpedition noted in its June
28 update. "At midnight, giant squalls came through, knocking out one
of our three antennas that we worked so hard to get up. We worked
through the morning and [now] have 6 stations available."
The KH1/KH7Z frequency plan is on the DXpedition website. DXpedition
operators generally will operate split. Do not call on the DX
station's transmitting frequency.
FT8 "DXpedition Mode" operation is planned. Stations should have
WSJT-X version 1.9.1 installed and be in "Hound" mode (check the
appropriate box under the "vanced" tab in the WSJT-X File/Settings
menu). More information on DXpedition Mode is available from the
WSJT-X Development Team.
Plans call for the DXpedition to be "very active" on 60 meters. Logs
will be uploaded to Club Log.
For his June 28 Ham Talk Live! internet radio program, Neil Rapp,
WB9VPG, has arranged for a satellite telephone contact with the Baker
Island DXpeditionteam and will take callers via Skype or telephone.
He'll also take live questions via Twitter (@HamTalkLive) or, in
advance, by email. Ham Talk Live! streams Thursdays at 9 PM EDT (0100
UTC on Fridays in North American Time Zones).
Attendance Holds Steady at Hamvention 2018
Hamvention® marked another successful year in 2018, General Chair Ron
Cramer, KD8ENJ, told ARRL this week. At 28,417 visitors, Hamvention
recorded its third-largest attendance ever in its second year at its
still-new location in Xenia, Ohio.
"We had a slight decline in attendance, but we think people were
waiting to hear about the upgrades we made, and some upgrades did not
happen until the very last moment," Cramer allowed. "Many were worried
about the mud."
The drop in attendance amounted to some 900 fewer visitors from 2017.
Hamvention attendance peaked in 1993 at 33,669, before the 1996 change
in date from April to May and while it was still being held at Hara
Arena.
The Hamvention 2018 Amateur of the Year was Val Hotzfeld, NV9L, who
volunteered in Puerto Rico after last fall's hurricanes, on behalf of
the American Red Cross.
Cramer said other events in the Xenia-Dayton area cramped lodging
availability, but Dayton Amateur Radio Association (DARA) organizers
were "very pleased with the results and comments everyone has made
this year."
Hamvention's 2018 theme was "Amateur Radio...Serving the Community,"
and the event highlighted emergency communication forums -- many put
on by ARRL -- plus a big display of emergency communication vehicles.
This was a year of "fine tuning the event" through critique sessions
with committee chairs and evaluating comments, compliments, and
criticisms from first-year Xenia attendees and vendors, Cramer said.
"From all the information we have received back already this year,
from guests and vendors, we believe we have been successful and are
working hard to prepare for Hamvention 2019," Cramer offered. "We
expect new additions to the show and finer tuning to make sure our
guests keep coming back." Read more.
ARRL Field Day 2018 Participants Have Fun Despite Dicey HF Conditions
With typical propagation no better than fair to pretty good, most ARRL
Field Day participants nonetheless enjoyed the 2018 running of Amateur
Radio's most popular operating event -- most as part of club or group
operations and some as individuals. Among them was an

Manager Bart Jahnke, W9JJ, at W1AW. [Michelle Patnode, W3MVP, photo]
ARRL Headquarters team that included several newer operators as well
as some veterans, who operated Maxim Memorial Station W1AW in Class
3F. ARRL Station Manager Joe Carcia, NJ1Q, said most contacts were on
the HF bands, with a handful of VHF/UHF FM and SSB satellite contacts
via SO-50 or FO-29. More than 1,600 clubs and groups registered their
locations on the ARRL Field Day Locator website.
"Conditions were so-so on 15 and 10, but 6 meters opened for a while,
and 20 and below were hopping!" Carcia enthused. "We were doing well
on 80 meters well before sunset." He said the team's contact count
would have been higher with more operators and longer operating
periods. W1AW's 791 contacts yielded 1,010 points.

On the west coast, the West Valley Amateur Radio Association returned
to Mora Hill above Los Altos, using K6EI (and W6ZZZ for the GOTA
station). "This year we were 14A, QRP, battery, and solar-panel
powered," reported Bill Frantz, AE6JV. The club ran three CW stations,
three SSB stations, and two digital stations on HF, plus VHF and UHF
stations. Frantz said the GOTA station was quite popular, logging 50%
more contacts than in 2017. "Since we are next to a popular trail in
the San Antonio Open Space Preserve, we get a lot of bicycle
visitors," he added. "Some know about ham radio and others have never
heard of it. Everyone had a good time and went home tired."
In Idaho, "conditions didn't seem to be the best," observed Mark
Earls, K7MEE, who participated in the K7BNR 6A Field Day operation.
"But we all had fun, and that's what matters. We got to try out our
new-to-us mesh network."

for Field Day.
Tom Morehouse, K4AEN, and Rob Neece, KK4R, planned to renew "an old
tradition" and take Field Day out on the Lafayette River in Virginia's
Tidewater region in Morehouse's boat, Miss venture. The vessel had
other plans, however, blowing an exhaust manifold and keeping the
Field Day operation moored at the dock.
After not taking part in ARRL Field Day for 10 years, Mark Chouinard,
K5YAC, in Oklahoma, celebrated the recent licensing of his son Tyler,
W5EAA, by assembling four stations and five operators. "We worked
several stations on 10, 15, and 20, but 40 and 80 were pretty noisy
with storms out to the west," Chouinard reported in his Soapbox
remarks. "No records broken, but a lot of fun."

Wireless Association W1TU Field Day operation in the Schoodic Section

A few operators braved the bands with low-power operating (QRP). Those
included Len Popyack, WF2V, of New York, who used solar-charged
batteries to power his Elecraft KX2 in his barn. "Phone is tough with
5 W, but CW was excellent," he reported. He logged 195 contacts,
nearly all on CW. Another QRPer was Dale Mecomber, N2DM, running just
2 W to a trap dipole for 40 and 20 meters. He said 40 was the better
band from his location in central New York.
For Kevin Ryan, KM6KCP, and Tom Rees, KB7XL, their Class 1B operation
in Nevada was a bit of a 50th reunion -- their first joint ARRL Field
Day operation since getting their Novice licenses in high school. They
managed 122 contacts, including two on satellite, Rees said in the
pair's Soapbox remarks.
QST Editor Steve Ford, WB8IMY, was among those to receive a Field Day
message transmitted in MFSK64 via a 100 kW HF broadcast transmitter in
Nauen, Germany. The special transmission came during the weekly "Giant
Jukebox" broadcast of The Mighty KBC on 9,925 kHz. "Field Day is ham
radio's open house," the message said. "Every June, more than 40,000
hams throughout North America set up temporary transmitting stations
in public places to demonstrate ham radio's science, skill, and
service to our communities and our nation." ditional reception reports
are invited.
ARRL Field Day contacts count for the International Grid Chase 2018
(IGC) activity, but Field Day stations must upload logs to Logbook of
The World (LoTW), making sure that the TQSL Station Location includes
the grid square of the operation. Field Day 2018 entries must be
submitted (or postmarked) by Tuesday, July 24, 2018. Late entries
cannot be accepted. Participants can earn a 50 bonus points for using
the web applet form to submit their logs.

World Radiosport Team Championship 2018: The Other Ham Radio Event of
the Summer
In about 2 weeks, some 60 two-person teams will take on the world and
each other in World Radiosport Team Championship 2018 (WRTC 2018), in
the Jessen-Wittenberg area of Germany. Held approximately every 4
years, WRTCs take place in conjunction with the 24-hour-long IARU HF
Championship July 14 - 15, although WRTC teams are subject to
additional rules specific to the competition. Several years of
preparation and organization begun right after WRTC 2014 in New
England have led to WRTC 2018, and a number of skills have been
brought into play, including carpentry. A team of about 20 has been
building WRTC boxes that will contain all equipment transported to
individual sites.
"Everything that is needed on the site, including antenna materials,
arrives packed in the box. Only the mast is transported separately,"
said Andreas "Paul" Paulick, DL5CW. "This ensures that nothing gets
lost in transit in the vehicles." Paulick noted that the mast,
antenna, tent, and generator accessories are bulky enough not to fall
through the cracks, but that small items "tend to disappear."
Final antenna work also has been handled, with 65 rotators bolted to
base plates and tested to make sure that they're working correctly.
Guy sets for the masts are also complete. Organizers suggest the
tension is building as July 12 approaches.
A WRTC 2018 station test session in 2016.
Fourteen North American teams qualified for WRTC 2018, including WRTC
2014 defending champions Daniel Craig, N6MJ, and Chris Hurlbut, KL9A,
from the US. WRTC 2014 Chair Doug Grant, K1DG, merited a wild card
slot, WRTC 2018 said. His teammate will be WRTC 2014 Competition
Director Andy Blank, N2NT. WRTC 2018 also just announced a new team
leader to take the place of a competitor who had to drop out of the
event. Gilles Renucci, VA2EW, will head the new wild card team #6. He
ended qualification for WRTC 2018 in 2nd place in area NA #7, which
only had one team available. Arno Polinsky, DL1CW, will be his
teammate.
Nearly all WRTC 2018 participants got into Amateur Radio as teenagers;
a WRTC 2018 survey showed an average age of just over 13 when first
licensed. Team Leaders were chosen from each region, based on 2 years
of qualifying contest scores and have chosen a teammate for the event.
Wherever they're from, competitors must muster the stamina to sit at
their radios for 24 hours straight if they want to finish on top. In
Contact Sport, a narrative of WRTC 2014, author Jim George, N3BB,
described the role that "extreme fatigue" played. "The final 4 hours
were tough at every site," George wrote. Describing the operators at
one site, he wrote, "The men couldn't keep their eyes open, were not
able to concentrate, and had trouble pushing the right buttons on the
radio and pressing the correct keys on the keyboard. Neither could sit
any longer -- it was just too uncomfortable."
WRTC 2018 organizers have ensured that all competing teams will
operate from as level a playing field as possible. This includes not
just topography, but antennas and even freedom from external noise
sources. A referee will be at each station site to verify compliance
with the rules and make decisions on any rule questions competitors
may have.
A WRTC 2018 station test site last summer.
A real-time online scoreboard will keep "spectators" up to date on how
the competing teams are faring. "We want to make sure that from all
competition locations, the ongoing results in 1-minute intervals are
available on a scoreboard," said Ben Büttner, DL6RAI, who leads the
real-time scoreboard team. He said special attention was given to RFI,
thermal stability, and redundancy in assembling the computer systems
that will collect score data.
Radio DARC will cover WRTC 2018 with two broadcasts in English,
Saturday, July 14, at 1100 UTC and on Sunday, July 15, at 0900 UTC, on
6,070 kHz and on 13,860 kHz. The broadcasts will explain what WRTC
2018 is and how it works, and will include behind-the-scenes reports
touching on the qualifying process, the competitors, and the
volunteers. The transmitters for the Radio DARC program are in Vienna,
Austria.
Fred Dennin, WW4LL, and other stations in Georgia, will activate ARRL
Headquarters station W1AW/4 for the IARU contest. The IARU HQ station
will identify as NU1AW/9 with CW operation from the station of Craig
Thompson, K9CT, and from the station of Jerry Rosalius, WB9Z, and Val
Hotzfeld, NV9L -- both in Illinois. The 2018 IARU HF World
Championship runs from July 14 at 1200 UTC to July 15 at 1200 UTC.
These and other HQ stations count as multipliers in calculating IARU
contest scores.
13 Colonies Special Event to Mark 10th Anniversary this Year
The annual Original 13 Colonies Special Event will mark its 10th
anniversary this year. The event gets under way on July 1 at 1300 UTC
and runs through July 8 at 0400 UTC. Event Manager Kenneth Villone,
KU2US, reports that 127,132 contacts took place during the 2017 13
Colonies event, down from 139,772 in 2016, owing in part to poor band
conditions.
Special event stations with 1 × 1 call signs will represent the
original 13 US colonies, plus bonus stations WM3PEN in Philadelphia
and GB13COL in Durham, England. Each special event station will have
its own QRZ.com profile page. Participating stations try to contact
all 13 Colony Stations plus the two bonus stations.
Call signs and their respective states are K2A, New York; K2B,
Virginia; K2C, Rhode Island; K2D, Connecticut; K2E, Delaware; K2F,
Maryland; K2G, Georgia; K2H, Massachusetts; K2I, New Jersey; K2J,
North Carolina; K2K, New Hampshire; K2L, South Carolina, and K2M,
Pennsylvania.
ditional information is on the 13 Colonies website.
In Brief...
Sweden's SAQ has announced its annual Alexanderson Day VLF
Transmission. Sweden's World Heritage Grimeton Radio Station SAQ
Alexanderson alternator will be on the air on July 1 on 17.2 kHz to
mark Alexanderson Day. Three transmissions are scheduled:
Startup/tuning at 0815 UTC, message transmission at 0845 UTC;
startup/tuning at 1015 UTC, message transmission at 1045 UTC, and
startup/tuning at 1215 UTC, message transmission at 1245 UTC. All
three transmission events will be available via YouTube. Amateur Radio
Station SK6SAQ will be active on CW (7.035 MHz or 14.035 MHz) or SSB
(3.755 MHz), with two operating positions planned. Send reports to SAQ
and SK6SAQ via email or the bureau. The World Heritage Grimeton Radio
station site will be open to the public on Alexanderson Day.
ARISS-Russia is planning SSTV transmissions from space. ARISS-Russia,
RS0ISS, will transmit slow-scan television (SSTV) images from the
International Space Station (ISS), starting at around 0900 UTC on June
29 until 1830 UTC on July 1. RS0ISS will send stored images
commemorating various satellites that have been hand-deployed from the
ISS. These will include the first such satellite deployment from the
ISS in 2006, Suitsat-1/Radioskaf-1, which consisted of a discarded
Russian Orlan spacesuit reconfigured to function as a free-floating
Amateur Radio transmit-only satellite. SSTV transmissions will take
place on 145.800 MHz FM using PD-120 SSTV mode (5 kHz deviation). The
ISS Fan Club website will show when the space station is within range.
More information is available on the AMSAT-UK website. -- Thanks to

Members of the Great South Bay Amateur Radio Club (GSBARC) will
remember those lost in the sinking of the USS San Diego. They will
operate as W2NMY from July 14 until July 22 UTC to mark the centennial
of the sinking of the armored cruiser on July 18, 1918, 12 miles off
Fire Island, New York, and to honor the six sailors who died. NMY is a
historical Fire Island call sign used by the US Navy and the US Coast
Guard. Because the San Diego's onboard radio was not working, the
captain dispatched the gunnery officer to the mainland, but by the
time he returned 2 hours later with rescue vessels, it was too late.
The San Diego became the only major warship lost by the US after its
involvement in World War I. A Naval Court of Inquiry subsequently
concluded that a mine laid by a German submarine had sunk the San
Diego. W2NMY operation will be on all bands and modes. A downloadable
certificate will be available for confirmed contacts. Contact GSBARC
for more information.
The International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) has welcomed the St.
Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla Amateur Radio Society (SKNAARS) as its newest
IARU member-society. IARU member-societies on May 28 completed voting
on the proposed admission of SKNAARS to the IARU to represent St.
Kitts & Nevis. SKNAARS does not claim to represent Anguilla, which is
already represented in the IARU by the Anguilla Amateur Radio Society;
the inclusion of Anguilla in the SKNAARS name dates to an earlier
time. With 56 affirmative votes required for admission, 62 affirmative
votes were cast, with no dissenting votes. SKNAARS thus becomes a
member of the IARU and of IARU Region 2.
The K7RA Solar Update

Jon Jones, N0JK, reported a 6 meter opening from the midwest to Asia
on June 21. As he described it, "A major sporadic-E opening on 50 MHz
between Japan, China, Korea to North America June 21. Hundreds of
contacts were made, most via FT8." More details can be found in the
Friday Propagation Bulletin.
Sunspot numbers for June 21-27 were 41, 41, 34, 16, 14, 12, and 0,
with a mean of 22.6. The 10.7-centimeter flux was 81.5, 80.3, 77.1,
74.5, 72.8, 71.1, and 70, with a mean of 75.3. Estimated planetary A
indices were 3, 4, 16, 7, 12, 20, and 7, with a mean of 9.9. Estimated
mid-latitude A indices were 4, 4, 15, 8, 10, 17, and 7, with a mean of
