Looking for info on them To: info-hams@ucsd.edu Hi all: I was at Dayton Last weekend. I had circled CARF's booth as one I HAD to visit, so of course I missed it (gee there were only 500 other booths to jostle my way to). Is anyone on the net a member? Or do you know their mailing address so I can get more Information about joining? Do they have a regulary schedualed NET that I can listen in on (just a code liberated tech... for now that is 8-)? Thanks, Chuck N3QAT <>< ee2g+Charles@andrew.cmu.edu p.s. Dayton was fun, but _OVERWELMING_.

The ozone experiment conducted by the students from Ranum High School performed perfectly throughout the flight. The students gathered some great data. Congratulations to EOSS member Andy Kellett N0SIS, our student liaison for this flight, for getting everything operational with many hours of hard work. We are hoping that the students will present their findings at the next EOSS membership meeting (5/10/94). These meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month at the Castlewood Library at the intersection of Uinta and Arapahoe (just west of I-25) in Castlewood, Colorado. They start at 7 P.M. local time. The ground station operations were coordinated by Brian Thomas, N0VSA. All systems were operating on gasoline driven AC power generators for this flight. These generators were provided by Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES) district 22 in Colorado. FAA Liaison for the flight as well as technical assistance was performed by Mike Manes, W5VSI. The balloon preparation team headed by Merle McCaslin, K0YUK, ran into no significant problems. The weather was perfect for the launch with very calm ground winds. Early morning weather reports from the Rawinsonde (RAOB) data obtained from the National Weather Service via WeatherBank Info Service were incomplete only listing winds to 45,000 feet. Using Paratrak (Bill Brown WB8ELK's balloon flight prediction software) with these incomplete readings we predicted a touchdown at 69.2 miles from launch site on a bearing of 68.8 degrees. If you check the actual data above you'll be amazed at the accuracy of this prediction. However, because of the incomplete data, interpolation was used to estimate (incorrectly) the high altitude winds and we officially used a figure of 48.7 miles at an azimuth of 63.9 degrees to position our tracking and recovery teams. High altitude winds were stronger than anticipated. The W6ORE flight controller aboard the payload performed to near perfection throughout the flight compiling and transmitting both standard EOSS packet telemetry and an Automatic Position Reporting System (APRS) location packet. Loran-C lost lock on ascent at about 30,000 feet but we were able to regain lock at about 35,000 feet and maintained lock throughout the rest of the flight. ATV got some great shots. We may have even captured the balloon bursting on video tape. All at the ground station were very impressed! The APRS packet tracking program worked perfectly during the entire flight. An APRS station was running at the ground control station and provided a graphic map display of the location of the balloon during its flight over eastern Colorado. Larry Cerney and Rick von Glahn ran APRS as well as GPS in their vehicles during the recovery operations. It was of great assistance in the hunt. We should soon have an HST file (used by APRS) ready for the flight of EOSS-16. The payload was recovered about 3 hours after launch. George Reidmuller and Paul Ternlund ran a tight ship. Under their skilled leadership were RDF stations: ALPHA - Paul Ternlund WB3JZV (computerized triangulation station) BRAVO - Geroge Reidmuller N0NJM (net control), Marty Griffin WA0GEH CHARLIE - Dan Meyer N0PUF DELTA - Dave Galpin KB0LP ECHO - Bob Ragain WB4ETT, Dawn Ragain N0QCW, Colleen Ragain N0QGH FOXTROT - Greg Burnett K0ELM GOLF - Ian Zahn KB0HKY HOTEL - Rick von Glahn N0KKZ and Bob Sacco INDIA - Larry Cerney N0STZ Jack Crabtree AA0P was also in the field relaying packet data and chasing the payload with GPS. This was probably the best radio direction finding (RDF) experience in EOSS history. Using LORAN-C as a benchmark, bearings from the RDF stations were shown to be the most accurate ever for the group as a whole. While the LORAN-C was helpful as usual, it was the RDF data that provided the best information to lead the recovery teams to the payload. Paul Ternlund and Bob Ragain were first to the site. Paul had a slight advantage as he arrived on the road closest to the payload and was rewarded with the pleasant job of announcing the discovery of the package. The various payload, parachute and support lines were left in place for the inspection of the other members of the recovery team at their arrival. The payload survived the flight and landing and was ready to fly again with only some minor repairs to the Loran-C antenna. We would be interested in hearing from anyone who copied any of our transmissions.

If you wish to make announcement to only those users connected to a particular PacketCluster node, you can specify the call of the node on the command. The ANNOUNCE command defaults to the local node; a cluster-wide announcement requires using the /FULL qualifier on the command. You can also specify a distribution list as a qualifier. The ANNOUNCE command may be used while in Conference Mode or Talk Mode by prefacing it with an asterisk (*). Syntax: Announce msg Announce/call msg Announce/Full msg Announce/distro msg Command: BYE Bye command informs the PacketCluster that you wish to disconnect. This is the recommended way of disconnecting, instead of using the D command to your TNC. Syntax: Bye Command: CONFERENCE This command places you into Conference Mode. You will see all input from any other station that is also in Conference Mode. Note that by default, you are put into the local conference on your PacketCluster node. A ctrl/Z or the text /EXIT will cause you to leave Conference Mode and return to the PacketCluster command level. When in the local conference, your call will have a plus sign (+) next to it in the SHOW/USERS display. Syntax: CONFERence *** Note *** While in Conference Mode, you are able to do the following PacketCluster commands: ANNOUNCE - make a general announcement to all stations DX - DX spotting functions TALK msg - send a one-line message to another station SHOW/CONFIGURATION - display cluster configuration SHOW/DX - show DX log SHOW/USERS - show what stations are connected SHOW/WWV - show WWV propagation information WWV - announce WWV information This is done by prefacing the command with an asterisk (*): *DX, *T, *ANNOUNCE for example. Command: CONFERENCE/FULL This command is identical to CONFERENCE except that the conference is global throughout the cluster. Users in global conference mode are designated with an asterisk (*) next to their call in the SHOW/USERS display. Syntax: CONFERence/Full Command: DELETE The DELETE command is used to delete mail messages on the PacketCluster. If no message number is specified, the last mail message read will be deleted; otherwise, the one specified by message number. Syntax: DElete DElete message-#,message-#,... Command: DIRECTORY This command is used to display a list of the current mail messages on the PacketCluster node to which you are connected. A hyphen (-) next to a particular mail message number indicates that the message has been read by the station to which it was addressed, a plus sign (+) indicates message set to noauto_delete, an asterisk (*) indicates both read and noauto_delete, and a "p" indicates a private message. If you specify a call on the command, you will see messages only sent by or to that station. Syntax: DIRectory/qualifier DIRectory callsign Command: DIRECTORY/ALL Display all active mail messages. By default, only the five most-recent messages, or all since your last use of the DIRECTORY command (whichever is greater) will be displayed. Command: DIRECTORY/BULLETIN Display mail messages addressed to ALL. Command: DIRECTORY/NEW Display all mail messages which have been sent since your last use of the DIRECTORY command. Command: DIRECTORY/OWN Display mail messages which are addressed to you or were sent by you. Command: DIRECTORY/nn Display the nn most-recent mail messages. Command: DX The DX command allows you to announce DX spotting information to all other stations which are connected to the PacketCluster. Also see command SHOW/DX. While in Conference or Talk Mode, use *DX. Syntax: DX frequency callsign misc-info where frequency is of the format 14025.10, for example. Misc-info should be kept brief as the system will add the date and time after it. Misc-info is optional. Command: DX/call The DX command with the /call qualifier allows you to announce DX spotting information and to credit the DX spot to the station whose callsign you specify. Syntax: DX[/call] frequency callsign misc-info Example: DX/K1GQ 14001.1 3C0A Command: EXECUTE This command is used to execute your private command procedure which has been uploaded with UPLOAD/USERCMD. Syntax: EXECUTE Command: FINDFILE This command is used to locate files on the PacketCluster. You may specify either a full file name or a partial name with wildcards (*). The system searches all defined file areas for the file. Syntax: FIndfile filename or filename-mask Example: FINDFILE ARRL.DAT FINDFILE ARRL*.* Command: READ This command is used to read a mail message which is shown in the DIRECTORY display. A READ without a message number will read the oldest unread mail message addressed to you. Any mail message may be read if the message number is specified on the READ command. Syntax: Read Read message-# Read/nopage message-# Command: REPLY This command is used to reply to the last mail message which was read. The subject of the resulting message will be the same as that of the previously-read message with an RE: preceding it. You may also specify a message number to reply to, so that reading it first is unnecessary. Syntax: REPly REPly msg-# Command: REPLY/DELETE This variation of the REPLY command does the same function but also deletes the messages to which you are replying. Syntax: REPly/Delete Command: SEND This command is used to send a mail message to another station. You will be prompted for the station being sent to, the subject, and the message. The mail message may be terminated with either a ctrl/Z or the text /EXIT. If you wish to cancel the mail message, send a ctrl/Y to the system. The /PRIVATE qualifier sends a private message; the /NOPRIVATE qualifier sends a public message. The /RR qualifier requests a return receipt, so that when the addressee reads the mail, a confirmation is returned to the sender. Syntax: Send Send/Private Send/NOPrivate Send/RR Command: SET The SET command is used to set user-specific options on the PacketCluster. Syntax: SEt/qualifier Additional help available for the following SET qualifiers: /ALIAS /ANSI /BEEP /DX_ANNOUNCEMENTS /FILTER /HERE /HOME_NODE /LOCATION /LOGIN_ANNOUNCEMENTS /LOGOUT_ANNOUNCEMENBTS /MAIL_ANNOUNCEMENTS /NAME /NEED /NOALIAS /NOANSI /NOBEEP /NODX_ANNOUNCEMENTS /NOFILTER /NOHERE /NOLOGIN_ANNOUNCEMENTS /NOMAIL_ANNOUNCEMENTS /NONEED /NOPRIVILEGE /NOTALK /NOWWV_ANNOUNCEMENTS /PAGE /PRIVILEGE /QTH /TALK /WWV_ANNOUNCEMENTS Command: SHOW The SHOW command is used to display certain information on the PacketCluster. Syntax: SHow/qualifier Additional help available for the following SHOW qualifiers: /ANNOUNCE /ARCHIVE /BULLADDR /BULLETINS /CLUSTER /COMMANDS /CONFIGURATION /DISTRO /DX /EXCLUDE /FILES /FILTER /FORWARD /HEADING /INACTIVITY /LOCATION /LOG /LOGON_MESSAGES /MUF /NEED /NOTICE /PREFIX /STATE /STATION /SUN /TIME /USERS /VERSION /WWV /WX Command: SWITCH This command switches your connection between your normal call and an alias call that you have specified with a SET/ALIAS command. Syntax: SWITCH Command: TALK The TALK command is used to talk to various stations which are connected to the PacketCluster. There are two types of TALK: Talk Mode to another station, and a one-line Talk function. Syntax: Talk call Talk to the specified station. This provides one-way talk capability to that station. If that station wants to communicate back, they must also do a T command. A ctrl/Z will only terminate your side of the talk. Talk call msg This allows you to send a one-line message to the specified station. It does NOT put you into talk mode and hence, no ctrl/Z is needed to terminate it. Note: This type of Talk is also available from within Conference mode by prefacing the T with an asterisk (*T). *** Note *** The following commands are available from within Talk Mode: DX, SHOW/DX, ANNOUNCE, TALK (one line talk to another station), SHOW/USERS, and SHOW/WWV by prefacing them with an asterisk (*). Command: TALK/TIMESTAMP This command instructs PacketCluster to timestamp the one-line message you are sending to the specified station. Syntax: Talk/Timestamp call message Command: TYPE This command is used to display a file which has been uploaded to the PacketCluster. The files which are available may be shown by doing a SHOW/FILES, SHOW/BULLETIN, or SHOW/ARCHIVE. The qualifier must be the same as that on the SHOW command. If no qualifier is specified, it is assumed the file resides in the /BULLETIN area. Syntax: TYpe/area filename TYpe/area/nn filename (displays on nn lines of file) TYpe/USERCMD (displays personal command file) Command: UPDATE This command is used to update a database which has been setup by the sysop. You will be asked for a key value, followed by the text which should be associated with this key value. Databases which have been defined on your system may be displayed with the SHOW/COMMANDS command. Syntax: UPDATE/database Example: UPDATE/QSLNEW Enter key value: 1A0KM Enter text. Terminate with ctrl/Z or /EXIT ... QSL 1A0KM via I0IJ /EXIT Command: UPDATE/APPEND The APPEND qualifier instructs PacketCluster to add your new text to the current entry which exists in the database. Syntax: UPDATE/database/APPEND Command: UPLOAD This command is used to upload files to the PacketCluster. UPLOAD without a qualifier, or with the /FILES qualifier will upload the file to the files area and will be shown on subsequent SHOW/FILES commands. The /BULLETIN qualifier will upload the file to the bulletin area and will be shown on subsequent SHOW/BULLETIN commands. To upload a personal command procedure, use the /USERCMD qualifier. Syntax: UPload filename UPload/Bulletin filename UPload/Files filename UPload/Usercmd Command: WWV This command allows you to announce and log WWV propagation information. To display previously-logged information, use SHOW/WWV. In Conference or Talk Mode, use *WWV. Syntax: Wwv SF=xxx,A=xx,K=xx,forecast Command: WX This command allows you to announce weather conditions to the local cluster users. If a cluster-wide announcement is desired, use WX/FULL.
