Deutsch N0RGT joins us on the 00:06:54.069 --> 00:06:56.850 Orlando Amateur Radio Club and hamcation line. 00:06:57.430 --> 00:07:01.050 Matt has been the chief engineer at WWV and WWVB 00:07:01.050 --> 00:07:03.810 for the National Institute of Standards and Technology 00:07:03.810 --> 00:07:09.370 in Fort Collins, Colorado since 1989. From 1979 00:07:09.370 --> 00:07:13.149 to 1991, he was an electronics technician. for 00:07:13.149 --> 00:07:16.829 the Coast Guard and Matt became a ham in 1992. 00:07:17.629 --> 00:07:20.910 So if you have a question about the changes here 00:07:20.910 --> 00:07:26.310 at WWV give us a call right now at 859 -982 -7373 00:07:26.310 --> 00:07:29.209 or you can tweet us at HamTalk Live. Now we're 00:07:29.209 --> 00:07:31.410 changing that around a little bit normally we 00:07:31.410 --> 00:07:33.629 wait for the calls but we're taking calls right 00:07:33.629 --> 00:07:40.800 now at 859 -982 -7373. 73 or again tweet us at 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:42.800 ham talk live and if you're listening to us on 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:47.040 WTWW or on the podcast edition You won't be able 00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:50.160 to reach us because we're doing this on Thursday 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:53.300 night. So Matt Thanks for coming on the show 00:07:53.300 --> 00:07:55.259 here on short notice and telling us a little 00:07:55.259 --> 00:07:59.300 bit about Some exciting stuff going on at work 00:07:59.300 --> 00:08:02.879 Well, thank you Neil. It's good to be back Good 00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:07.079 evening. And yeah, just to reiterate this is 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.069 a an upgrade that's going on at WWVB, which is 00:08:11.069 --> 00:08:15.730 a 60 -kilohertz station here on the WWV site. 00:08:17.009 --> 00:08:19.490 And yeah, we're upgrading some of the equipment. 00:08:19.550 --> 00:08:21.629 It's going to be transparent to the users, but 00:08:21.629 --> 00:08:25.730 we are increasing our reliability. Well, I just 00:08:25.730 --> 00:08:28.990 finished recording this week's amateur radio 00:08:28.990 --> 00:08:32.540 news line, and there was a story there. about, 00:08:32.540 --> 00:08:36.240 you know, it may be down to one antenna and the 00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:38.600 power might be reduced and there might even be 00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:41.080 a few outages and those will be noted on the 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.500 website and all that kind of thing. So tell us 00:08:43.500 --> 00:08:48.740 what you're up to on this 60 kilohertz, 60 kilohertz, 00:08:48.860 --> 00:08:53.559 right? Yes, 60 kilohertz station. This is, it's 00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:56.519 a binary coded decimal. Actually we have two 00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:00.929 modulation types on the carrier but it's a 60 00:09:00.929 --> 00:09:04.929 kilohertz carrier modulated by amplitude modulation 00:09:04.929 --> 00:09:09.330 and then a phase shift modulation also and there 00:09:09.330 --> 00:09:11.529 are clocks available out there for both types 00:09:11.529 --> 00:09:15.289 of modulation and the people are probably mostly 00:09:15.289 --> 00:09:20.190 familiar with the use of the signal with radio 00:09:20.190 --> 00:09:23.629 -controlled clocks hang on your wall and wristwatches 00:09:23.629 --> 00:09:26.230 and such that people have my mother -in -law 00:09:26.230 --> 00:09:29.269 has a talking radio -controlled wristwatch which 00:09:29.269 --> 00:09:33.629 is fairly new, I guess. But yeah, there's no 00:09:33.629 --> 00:09:38.289 audio on this carrier. It's just all, just a 00:09:38.289 --> 00:09:41.990 modulated carrier. And what we're doing is improving 00:09:41.990 --> 00:09:46.789 the reliability. We had some money granted to 00:09:46.789 --> 00:09:52.850 us to upgrade the, what we call our matrix primarily. 00:09:53.350 --> 00:09:58.080 And what we have is three transmitters. antennas 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:02.860 and a dummy load and what we can do is put we 00:10:02.860 --> 00:10:05.879 have two transmitters on the air at any given 00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:08.279 moment one going to our north antenna and one 00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:11.559 to our south and then the third one can be put 00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:15.139 in the dummy load if we need to test or operate 00:10:15.139 --> 00:10:20.100 in a dummy load to figure out some problems but 00:10:20.100 --> 00:10:22.919 right now we manually have to switch between 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.779 we can match you know transmitters to to certain 00:10:26.779 --> 00:10:29.759 antennas and that's all done through the matrix. 00:10:29.980 --> 00:10:32.440 We have to do it manually and what we're doing 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:35.580 is improving our reliability by doing a motorized 00:10:35.580 --> 00:10:40.539 matrix built by Contronics that will be able 00:10:40.539 --> 00:10:45.360 to be controlled remotely so we can, like I said, 00:10:45.580 --> 00:10:47.519 improve the station reliability in the sense 00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:50.399 that if there's a problem with a transmitter 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:53.039 during a storm or such and we just had a really 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:56.330 bad two foot snow storm and windy conditions 00:10:56.330 --> 00:10:59.509 this past weekend. But what we'd be able to do 00:10:59.509 --> 00:11:01.049 is if there's a problem with the transmitter, 00:11:01.309 --> 00:11:04.610 we could switch transmitters on the air onto 00:11:04.610 --> 00:11:09.169 different antennas rather than having to come 00:11:09.169 --> 00:11:12.649 out here and do that manually. That's a big improvement. 00:11:14.330 --> 00:11:16.870 Especially if you're the one that has to go through 00:11:16.870 --> 00:11:22.559 two feet of snow to get there. We did have a 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.100 big storm as I said this last weekend and we 00:11:26.100 --> 00:11:29.059 did have a power transfer problem and one of 00:11:29.059 --> 00:11:31.860 the technicians and I had it come out. He had 00:11:31.860 --> 00:11:34.419 his four wheel drive pick up and we still got 00:11:34.419 --> 00:11:36.759 stuck in some big snow drifts, had to walk the 00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:40.519 rest of the way into the station. So if we can 00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:42.820 do that, you know, switching around from the 00:11:42.820 --> 00:11:45.700 comfort of our homes, that'd be much improved. 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.659 And there is another project coming up. Next 00:11:48.659 --> 00:11:51.460 month, we're actually going to replace the automatic 00:11:51.460 --> 00:11:54.279 transfer switch, the one that goes between commercial 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:58.340 power and generator power. We are upgrading that 00:11:58.340 --> 00:12:04.460 also. So, yeah, not exciting stuff, but if you 00:12:04.460 --> 00:12:07.679 like reliability, it's exciting to us and being 00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.960 able to avoid downtime, which we always like 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:18.070 to do is improve our uptime. So through the rest 00:12:18.070 --> 00:12:22.070 of the month here, there may be a few quick outages 00:12:22.070 --> 00:12:26.269 and some signal drop and that kind of thing. 00:12:26.850 --> 00:12:32.110 So if anybody is watching that, which if it were 00:12:32.110 --> 00:12:34.490 on some of the other bands, I would probably 00:12:34.490 --> 00:12:37.809 notice it because I'm always using WWV to make 00:12:37.809 --> 00:12:42.470 sure receivers work. But if anybody's watching 00:12:42.470 --> 00:12:47.259 the 60 kilohertz signal and you see some some 00:12:47.259 --> 00:12:51.600 variation in it that's what's going on and I 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:56.879 know you'd mentioned that if it was a prolonged 00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:00.659 thing that there would be a notation on the website 00:13:00.659 --> 00:13:04.600 for that yes that's correct we do have to work 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:08.490 on one antenna system at a time we are Improving 00:13:08.490 --> 00:13:11.110 some of the the tuning controls also we're going 00:13:11.110 --> 00:13:14.450 from an AC motor to a DC motor in the in the 00:13:14.450 --> 00:13:17.570 helix houses where the Tuning goes on when the 00:13:17.570 --> 00:13:20.730 antenna ice is up or when it's windy we in the 00:13:20.730 --> 00:13:24.730 antennas large variometer inside the helix houses 00:13:24.730 --> 00:13:28.289 and we're replacing the control equipment and 00:13:28.289 --> 00:13:31.350 so Like I said, we have to work on one antenna 00:13:31.350 --> 00:13:34.090 at a time. So we'll be switching just to a single 00:13:34.090 --> 00:13:38.059 antenna for certain periods back and forth, and 00:13:38.059 --> 00:13:43.139 then also some testing of the software and such 00:13:43.139 --> 00:13:44.980 that's going to be controlling a lot of this. 00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:47.799 So we will have some brief outages every now 00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:51.299 and then.

We did have one that had a schedule 00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:56.859 conflict and So we are losing one we believe 00:28:56.859 --> 00:29:01.240 We need to hear from a couple more But then we 00:29:01.240 --> 00:29:04.519 had I think three open spots So we're probably 00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:07.819 looking at around five open spots and we've already 00:29:07.819 --> 00:29:12.359 had several applications for those but the deadline 00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:17.910 is Sunday at 2359 so if you know a young ham 00:29:17.910 --> 00:29:23.609 between the ages of 15 and 25 That would be interested 00:29:23.609 --> 00:29:27.190 in this week of camp. It's at the Voice of America 00:29:27.190 --> 00:29:33.549 Museum in Westchester, Ohio and Cost is getting 00:29:33.549 --> 00:29:36.690 to Cincinnati and back and a hundred dollars 00:29:36.690 --> 00:29:42.210 and We can even work out a scholarship or some 00:29:42.210 --> 00:29:47.230 clubs are even sponsoring campers with the hundred 00:29:47.230 --> 00:29:49.930 dollar entry fee and that's just to kind of make 00:29:49.930 --> 00:29:55.150 sure that You know people show up So that's what 00:29:55.150 --> 00:29:59.289 the $100 is about. The expense is much, much 00:29:59.289 --> 00:30:02.529 greater and thanks to all the sponsors for doing 00:30:02.529 --> 00:30:05.289 that and ICOM for putting all the equipment out 00:30:05.289 --> 00:30:10.430 there and doing some of the DSTAR forums and 00:30:10.430 --> 00:30:12.529 that kind of thing that we're going to be doing. 00:30:13.789 --> 00:30:19.380 And just so many sponsors out there. That that 00:30:19.380 --> 00:30:22.519 are taking care of that so youth on the air org 00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:25.559 Make sure you check that out and we are looking 00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:30.619 for a few more campers Especially looking for 00:30:30.619 --> 00:30:33.940 some in other countries because this is a North 00:30:33.940 --> 00:30:38.180 Central and South America event we know that 00:30:38.180 --> 00:30:41.920 you know with the pandemic going on borders or 00:30:42.779 --> 00:30:46.220 and air travel are kind of iffy at this point. 00:30:46.339 --> 00:30:50.000 So we may, you know, end up with more North America 00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:54.140 than anything this year, but it is for Central 00:30:54.140 --> 00:30:57.220 and Southern America, too. So we'd love to have 00:30:57.220 --> 00:31:01.359 some people come. All right. Well, again, if 00:31:01.359 --> 00:31:03.779 you want to chime in on any of these things or 00:31:03.779 --> 00:31:05.799 ask any questions about any things, give us a 00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:13.809 call at 859 -982 -7373. and we can talk about 00:31:13.809 --> 00:31:21.309 this. I mentioned the HOA thing. We have put 00:31:21.309 --> 00:31:25.869 in an offer on a house and so we're looking at 00:31:25.869 --> 00:31:31.009 moving here in the next few months and like I 00:31:31.009 --> 00:31:35.750 said there is an HOA. Now this HOA which I mean 00:31:35.750 --> 00:31:38.890 we've been looking for a year and a half for 00:31:38.890 --> 00:31:42.190 land to build on without any restrictions on 00:31:42.190 --> 00:31:45.710 it so I can put up a tower and do everything 00:31:45.710 --> 00:31:51.069 right. But it's just not out there. Trying to 00:31:51.069 --> 00:31:54.730 get a piece of flat land in that area without 00:31:54.730 --> 00:32:00.049 any restrictions is near impossible. So we finally 00:32:00.049 --> 00:32:02.910 decided, well, we'll try the house for a couple 00:32:02.910 --> 00:32:06.509 of years and keep looking for land. And, you 00:32:06.509 --> 00:32:10.009 know, eventually that's the plan is to find a 00:32:10.009 --> 00:32:12.970 piece of land without any antenna restrictions 00:32:12.970 --> 00:32:17.490 and put up a tower and put up a beam and some 00:32:17.490 --> 00:32:20.569 stuff. And, you know, really looking forward 00:32:20.569 --> 00:32:23.680 to that. We need some place in the meantime. 00:32:24.140 --> 00:32:27.799 So we went with this and It's reading the the 00:32:27.799 --> 00:32:30.900 HOA agreement and you know knowing that you know, 00:32:30.900 --> 00:32:32.740 I'm probably not going to be able to put up a 00:32:32.740 --> 00:32:36.680 whole lot It was kind of enters or interesting 00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:42.700 this particular one Automatically allowed television 00:32:42.700 --> 00:32:45.400 antennas and and this is something that that 00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:48.420 I haven't seen a lot of places the only thing 00:32:48.420 --> 00:32:50.819 they allow is a satellite dish and that's because 00:32:51.130 --> 00:32:53.910 there's a federal regulation that says you have 00:32:53.910 --> 00:32:57.589 to allow satellite dishes uh... so you know or 00:32:57.589 --> 00:33:00.670 the pizza dishes as we call them uh... you know 00:33:00.670 --> 00:33:04.160 they're the small little you know 18 inch dishes 00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:07.539 They allow those but they got to be out of sight, 00:33:07.579 --> 00:33:09.859 you know, you can't see them They got to be attached 00:33:09.859 --> 00:33:12.440 to the house and all this kind of thing but but 00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:15.740 this one says that if you can't get a signal 00:33:15.740 --> 00:33:18.180 you can put it in the front yard or you can you 00:33:18.180 --> 00:33:22.660 can have it visible if you can't get a Quality 00:33:22.660 --> 00:33:26.200 signal and I thought wow, that's you know, that's 00:33:26.200 --> 00:33:30.240 better than a lot of restrictions and then kept 00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:34.460 reading and it says Television antennas are automatically 00:33:34.460 --> 00:33:37.960 allowed as well that you can put them, you know 00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:42.480 behind the house out of sight You stay under 00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:47.619 I think 12 feet above the roof line But you know 00:33:47.619 --> 00:33:51.380 if you can't get a signal you can put it, you 00:33:51.380 --> 00:33:54.880 know On the side of the house or somewhere where 00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:58.880 it can be seen and you don't have to get prior 00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:03.079 approval for it Anything else there's an approval 00:34:03.079 --> 00:34:06.819 process But there's so many of them out there 00:34:06.819 --> 00:34:12.340 that just outright say no you know to everything 00:34:12.340 --> 00:34:16.139 and So, you know, obviously that doesn't cover 00:34:16.139 --> 00:34:21.190 amateur radio antennas so You know, I'll have 00:34:21.190 --> 00:34:24.010 to to make a proposal on that. I'll probably 00:34:24.010 --> 00:34:26.829 just put up a dipole or something. That's very 00:34:26.829 --> 00:34:31.949 very low visibility Just you know to have something 00:34:31.949 --> 00:34:35.309 on the air for a while until we can get the the 00:34:35.309 --> 00:34:39.989 tower situation, but I was just very surprised 00:34:39.989 --> 00:34:44.329 that The HOA was as lenient as it was because 00:34:44.329 --> 00:34:49.599 a lot of them that I've seen just outright say 00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:56.599 no. And that's a big problem for us hams. So 00:34:56.599 --> 00:35:00.519 if you have a comment on that, give us a call 00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:09.900 859 -982 -7373 or tweet us at hamtalklive. I 00:35:09.900 --> 00:35:13.619 kind of been thinking a lot about and as if I 00:35:13.619 --> 00:35:19.039 need another project to take on. But about ways 00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:24.840 to promote ham radio within HOAs and make them 00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:30.900 more aware of the benefits of having antennas 00:35:30.900 --> 00:35:36.699 and trying to relax the rules a little bit, at 00:35:36.699 --> 00:35:41.219 least allow something rather than just absolutely 00:35:41.219 --> 00:35:45.059 nothing. So if you have any ideas on that. um 00:35:45.059 --> 00:35:53.239 give us a call 859 -982 -7373 so that's that's 00:35:53.239 --> 00:35:57.920 kind of what's going on uh life has been really 00:35:57.920 --> 00:36:01.539 busy um in fact if you notice the the format's 00:36:01.539 --> 00:36:05.460 a lot different tonight uh that's because i have 00:36:05.460 --> 00:36:08.340 not had a chance to put anything together until 00:36:08.809 --> 00:36:14.849 this afternoon so it's been a very busy time 00:36:14.849 --> 00:36:18.869 and if this deal goes through with the house 00:36:18.869 --> 00:36:21.489 and the move and all that stuff coming up here 00:36:21.489 --> 00:36:26.449 in the next few months why we may take some weeks 00:36:26.449 --> 00:36:31.449 off here to facilitate the move and everything 00:36:31.449 --> 00:36:41.199 so we'll see how how that goes but We'll worry 00:36:41.199 --> 00:36:45.320 about that when it gets here, I guess. Next week, 00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:49.599 Jerry Buxton, N0JY was scheduled to be on the 00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:52.820 show. It's his birthday next week, so happy birthday, 00:36:52.900 --> 00:36:59.920 Jerry, by the way. found out that they're going 00:36:59.920 --> 00:37:02.679 to be doing some celebrating. So we've put that 00:37:02.679 --> 00:37:05.780 off until April 1st. So we've rescheduled him 00:37:05.780 --> 00:37:08.679 to be here April 1st, but he'll be here to talk 00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:11.440 about some of the engineering stuff going on 00:37:11.440 --> 00:37:17.079 with AMSAT. Some of the satellites have quit 00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:21.760 working or not working. and what's ahead and 00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:24.880 what's going to get launched and where are things 00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:28.219 going. So he's going to talk about some of that 00:37:28.219 --> 00:37:30.860 from an engineering standpoint and what we can 00:37:30.860 --> 00:37:36.019 learn from these launches that didn't go so well. 00:37:38.730 --> 00:37:42.710 you know, fully give us everything that we were 00:37:42.710 --> 00:37:45.309 looking for. But it's a learning opportunity. 00:37:45.349 --> 00:37:48.650 And so we're going to talk about that. So that's 00:37:48.650 --> 00:37:52.210 coming up in two weeks, April 1. Jerry Buxton, 00:37:52.369 --> 00:37:54.929 the director of engineering for AMSAT will be 00:37:54.929 --> 00:37:58.550 here to talk about building satellites and more. 00:37:59.510 --> 00:38:02.610 Okay, well, that's that's kind of what's going 00:38:02.610 --> 00:38:08.010 on. I got my first COVID shot today. So Glad 00:38:08.010 --> 00:38:12.489 that I got that out of the way and looking forward 00:38:12.489 --> 00:38:20.570 to a time when things are much more relaxed on 00:38:20.570 --> 00:38:25.210 the COVID front. I know there's a lot of opinions 00:38:25.210 --> 00:38:29.210 on that, not gonna get into all that, but I think 00:38:29.210 --> 00:38:31.650 we can all agree that we're looking for better 00:38:31.650 --> 00:38:36.170 days ahead. So that's what I'm looking for here. 00:38:37.170 --> 00:38:40.769 Again, we were hoping that we can go ahead with 00:38:40.769 --> 00:38:43.570 the Yoda camp right now It's looking like we're 00:38:43.570 --> 00:38:47.650 gonna be able to pull that off in July. So Hopefully 00:38:47.650 --> 00:38:51.289 that will happen. I know Huntsville's, you know 00:38:51.289 --> 00:38:55.869 going full -forward for August so I hope to see 00:38:55.869 --> 00:39:00.550 some people in Huntsville and You know, hopefully 00:39:00.550 --> 00:39:05.309 there are better days ahead Okay, well let's 00:39:05.309 --> 00:39:08.590 check the tweets here and see if we have anything. 00:39:09.449 --> 00:39:15.349 I think I think I've talked it out here so looks 00:39:15.349 --> 00:39:19.130 like we're gonna wrap things up here but want 00:39:19.130 --> 00:39:22.869 to thank Matt for calling in and talking a little 00:39:22.869 --> 00:39:27.610 bit about what's going on over at WWV and get 00:39:27.610 --> 00:39:31.980 a little more detail on Just exactly what that 00:39:31.980 --> 00:39:36.019 entailed and We'll look forward to some more 00:39:36.019 --> 00:39:39.699 things from WWV sure glad that You know that 00:39:39.699 --> 00:39:41.840 didn't get cut that was on the chopping block 00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:46.199 here a year or two ago, and that was that was 00:39:46.199 --> 00:39:50.500 not pretty so Glad that things are still going 00:39:50.500 --> 00:39:52.960 and and they're even making some improvements 00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:57.320 To that facility so that's a that's a good thing 00:39:57.690 --> 00:40:00.429 All right, well, I guess we're gonna finish it 00:40:00.429 --> 00:40:03.849 up tonight.
