we're finally back. It's time for HamTalk Live.
It's episode number 225. Come and get Wyoming,
as well as complete Windows audio failures all
the way around. Recorded live on Thursday, August
27th, 2020. I'm your host, Neil Rapp, WB9VPG.
Thanks for tuning in to this episode of HamTalk
Live tonight. We'll be joined by R .J. Bragg,
W -Y -7 -A -A, and we'll take your calls in just
a few minutes. And last week Frank Howell, K4FMH,
was here. to talk about the portable operations
challenge. If you missed that show, you can listen
anytime at HamTalkLive .com or on your favorite
podcast app or on YouTube, or you can catch the
rebroadcast on WTWW 5085 AM Saturday afternoons
at about 3 .30 PM Eastern time. So my apologies.
We are starting almost a half hour late here.
I've been through like four computer crashes
and and all kinds of audio issues. Windows update
like two weeks ago has caused total havoc. I've
spent hours and hours and hours trying to get
it all lined out. Thought it was all lined out.
Tested it again. Tested it again. Everything
was fine. And one minute before we go on the
show, it starts acting up again. So if the audio
on the mic is cutting out again, I apologize.
I've done everything I can do, but I didn't want
to keep RJ any longer. So we're going to go ahead
with it and hopefully things are okay now. and
we'll keep our fingers crossed. So I'll be back
with RJ right after this word from ICOM America
right here on HamTalk Live. Get out and be active
with ICOM's new IC705 and its optional multi
-function backpack. The IC705 is your perfect
QRP companion as you have base station features
and functionality at the tip of your fingers
in a portable package covering HF, six meters,
two meters and 70 centimeters. This compact rig
weighs in at 1 kilogram or just over 2 pounds
with RF direct sampling for most of the HF band
and IF sampling for frequencies above 25 megahertz
and a large 4 .3 inch color touchscreen with
live band scope and waterfall. It runs 5 watts
with a BP272 battery, 10 watts with 13 .8 volts
DC. You have sideband, CW, AM, FM, as well as
full D -star functions. The touchscreen, micro
USB connector, Bluetooth, wireless LAN, integrated
GPS with antenna and GPS logger, the micro SD
card slot, speaker mic, comes standard and supports
QRP operations. And the perfect accessory for
your IC705 is the optional backpack LC -192 with
a special compartment for your IC -705 and room
for accessories for soda activations are just
a day in the park. The IC -705 has now received
FCC certification and we expect product to be
shipping to dealers by the end of September.
Visit icomamerica .com slash amateur for more
information on ICOM radios. Your host, Neil Rapp,
may be too radial short of a full ground system,
but he's back now with more HamTalk Live. Welcome
back to HamTalk Live. Thanks to ICOM America
for sponsoring the show. They're at icomamerica
.com slash amateur. Make sure you check them
out and that's exciting news. 705 hopes to ship
by the end of September. So that'll be coming
your way soon. Well tonight my guest is R .J.
Bragg. He was first licensed as KD0FWZ back in
2008. Since then he's upgraded to extra class
and has his own ham shack and he spends most
of his time operating FM satellites. off and
roving to rare grids, as well as some sideband
contesting. He is the president of the Chi -Y
amateur radio club in Cheyenne, Wyoming. And
he's been able to operate from McMurdo station
in Antarctica, where his wife was performing
research. And I had the privilege of and the
honor of being present at RJ's first experience
ever at Chick -fil -A. with the El Camino. So
Rajay, welcome to the show. Thank you, Neil.
I appreciate all the work that you went through
to get us going tonight. Well, I'm trying. And
it's just this new Windows update has just caused
all kinds of audio issues. And I thought I finally
had done my magic, but apparently not. But yeah,
I'm still kind of, I guess maybe that it's more
of a Midwest and Southern thing, the Chick -fil
-A. You hadn't ever had Chick -fil -A. No, they
do have. But yeah, it's, it's not something I've
ever come across before. So we were actually
talking before the show, before everything fell
apart. We mentioned Skyline Chili, and we were
talking about Skyline Chili. And you said you'd
had Skyline Chili, which is the Cincinnati Chili,
but you actually had it in Antarctica. Yeah,
that's it. I was the only one other than the
person that had it shipped down that knew the
name. So I got a front row seat for that. So
just in Antarctica. Not, not anywhere near Cincinnati.
Well, anyway, now one of these days. Yeah, maybe
one of these days. Well, you're actually getting
ready to go on a road. You were telling me you're
getting ready to go on another road this weekend
and the El Camino is headed out. The Elko and
I have not been on a road trip all season yet,
so we are headed out. We're going to be November
zero India for the Kansas QSO party. One of the.
mobile stations. I'm going to be in the northwest
corner of the state trying to activate about
23 counties over two days. Wow. Okay. So that'll
be cool. Now, is this El Camino trip sponsored
by N6UA or is that just the last one? Actually,
this one, this, yeah, this one is AD0DX. Ron
is the one that talked. He's actually out roving
tonight and we're going to meet up Saturday night
and camp together and then do some more contacts
for the contest in the morning. Okay. Well, that'll
be a cool thing. So if you're looking for some
of those Kansas QSO party counties, We'll be
listening for RJ on the air and Mitch. Well,
let's talk about getting Wyoming in the log,
because that's the topic of the show tonight.
You've got this special event that's just come
together in the past couple of weeks that's called
Come and Get Wyoming. So what's this all about
and how did this come about? How did you get
the idea for this? Well, it goes back about a
year now and the Chi -Y amateur radio club decided,
agreed to host the 2020 Wyoming ham con, which
would have been the, uh, a double RL section
convention. And during the planning stages back
about February, somebody's, you know, said, Hey,
we should get a one -by -one call and on W seven
Y was available. So we, we just, uh, got it.
And we figured as the convention drew closer,
we'd, uh, we'd figure out what to do with it,
you know, have it on the air during the convention,
something like that. Well, global pandemic happens
and that kind of gets a sideline to everything.
So we kind of, I guess, forgot about it for a
little while. And at our last club meeting, beginning
of August, you know, some of us started kicking
around the idea, hey, we got this special event
call, you know, we should do something with it.
It's, you know, keep keep getting the Wyoming
community together and the Chi Wai group definitely
is interested. So we know that Cheyenne is, or
Cheyenne, Wyoming is kind of the local DX. Everybody's
looking for Wyoming. Every time you're on a contest,
we get, the club gets emails all the time looking
for the Wyoming's the last entity for someone's
worked all state on this band or this mode or
something. So we decided to. to have at it, kind
of the same model as the AWRL 100th anniversary,
the WA1 -7, in our case, similar format to that.
All right. Well, it's a shame that, you know,
you couldn't have the convention. And I know
you had some very honored and famous guests on
the way that are chiming in with the hashtag
blame RJ tweets, uh, or hashtag on Twitter right
now. Um, but it's cool that you could recycle
this and use it, uh, for something else. So if
someone does need Wyoming in his or her log or
just wants to get the special event call. And,
and I've actually told a friend of mine, Hey,
um, you know, Wyoming is going to be on he's
collecting. All states, but one by one call signs.
So this is, you know, a rare chance to get that.
So I warned him and said, Hey, you know, this
is, this is coming up. So, uh, if somebody's
out there and wants to get Wyoming in the log
from the special event, what do they need to
do? How do they know what to do? Well, really
it's going to be, um, we're, we're Trying to
open it up to any amateurs in the state of Wyoming.
So definitely the, the shy Y members. Um, and
we're a pretty good size club. I think about
54 members, but we're going to open it up to
the rest of the hams. And we, I mean, this is,
like I said, this is kind of coming together
quickly. We just sent out an invitation to people
today. Um, so we're gonna, we've got a scheduler
on our website and the website is, uh, www shy
y a r c dot net so s h y w y a r c dot net and
you'll see the special event page right up front
and then there's a scheduler so when people and
that's gonna that's gonna change regularly as
people have time they're gonna you know throw
their name on the list and say i'm gonna be on
this band on this mode at this time so keep an
eye out on that um it's just starting to get
populated now We're really trying to get as many
modes and as many bands as we can, even some
unique ones. I got one buddy from the club that
he thinks he's going to try to get the slow scan
TV up on the air. I'd like myself to try to do
a little meteor scatter for this event. So we're
really going to try to fill in people's Logbook
of the World accounts for Wyoming. So all of
the logs that we do, we're going to get those
up on Logbook of the World. That's going to be
the primary way to get QSL. And then we are going
to offer a QSL card, which is getting designed
as we speak. We're going to ask for a self -addressed,
self -stamped and addressed envelope and a $1
just to cover our costs because We're really
not trying to make money on this. We're just
trying to break even on this whole deal. And
then the last thing we're working on, and this
is again in the planning stages, we're going
to try to offer a digital certificate. So you
can go to our website and get an automatically
generated certificate of the one by one call
station. So there's a lot going on in the background.
Things are updating quickly and we're really
just excited to get just get Wyoming in as many
logs as we can. Okay. And this is September 6th
through 15th. So that's when to look for this.
So talk a little bit about the, you know, the
club that's sponsoring this and who's going to
be operating and who's doing the organizing.
Is this all you or what, what, what's going on
behind the scenes? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the
Chi -Wai Amateur Radio Club, which has been around
since 1932. Like I say, we got a real good group
here in Cheyenne. Last I checked, like I said,
we're about 54 members. And, you know, a lot
of people, this has been kind of a grassroots
thing. One of the things that happened during
the pandemic, we used to have a once a week,
an informal meeting at McDonald's on Tuesday
after, or Tuesday at lunchtime. And that obviously
went away. Well, once the weather finally got
better in Cheyenne about June, instead of going
to McDonald's, we all just went to the local
park. So every Tuesday we have a get together
in the park and have lunch outside, practice
good precautions, and it's a good way to get
together. And there's been a lot of discussion
in there. We got a good group of people that
are in the background working on this, it's by
no means all me. I get to be the voice of the
event here and there, but we're on Facebook and
trying to put the word out as many places and
in many ways as we can. And the club call sign
is KC7SNO. So that's who's actually requested
the one by one call sign. All right, very good.
Well, we're trying to get the word out and I
just anchored news line this afternoon we'll
have you on this week's news line and I know
Josh has got you over on Crash Course and several
others so Hopefully the word will get out. So
if you know somebody who needs Wyoming, here's
a great chance to Pick it up and I'm I'm guessing
knowing you that they'll probably be some opportunities
on satellite as well I would suspect I don't
know if there'll be any but I would have to think
there's probably gonna be a contact or two on
satellites probably so I'm so thrilled to have
you in my log for probably four or five different
grids I think And, uh, every time I hear your
call, I was like, okay, let's see where he's
at now because he's usually somewhere else. So
we usually try to try to break through there.
So, and one thing that I hadn't even thought
about until I was preparing for the show tonight,
I need Wyoming in my log for a lot. I mean, I
got wiped all States, but I got a lot of bands
and modes that I need it. So I think the, uh,
the folks in Wyoming are going to be happy to
get Wyoming for a few, uh, Yeah, we're talking,
you know, you're in Wyoming, so you're getting,
you know, pile ups all the time because people
need Wyoming and you know, you're on satellites,
which are almost always busy. And then, you know,
your other big operating position was Antarctica.
So it's like, how are you going to get all these?
Yeah, I don't have conversations on ham radio
very often. Every contact I've ever made has
been in the middle of a pileup, I think. Well,
that's kind of a nice problem to have, but I
guess it could get old after a while. But here's
a chance to get Wyoming crossed off. And I know
for the school, we were trying to get a school
in every state, and Wyoming was number 49, so
it was a tough one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I spent
a little time on the FCC, the ULS today, and
it appears that Wyoming has the fifth fewest
hams with active call signs right now. I think
around 2 ,200, 2 ,200 hams. So it's not a big
group. Well, that actually answers a question
that came in from John W4USF. Any idea how many
hams are licensed in Wyoming and how many of
those are active? Yeah, an active is tough. But
according to the ULS, that's, you know, And that
seems reasonable. There's several clubs around
the state. So there's quite a few people out
there. All right. Well, it's Come and Get Wyoming,
September 6th through the 15th. And we'll talk
a little more about that and a little more with
RJ after this word from Tower Electronics right
here on HamTalk Live. Jerry, what's up, man?
I haven't seen you at Sunbucks in a while. I
used to see you every morning getting coffee.
What's up? Well, I can't afford Sunbucks five
days a week anymore. I had to spend my money
on PL 259s. You know, those antenna projects
I've been meaning to do. I had to do them before
my HOA finds out I have antennas. That's too
bad, Jerry. I miss seeing you and catching up
over coffee. You should get your PL -259s from
Tower Electronics. They have great stuff. Jerry,
you're back. Oh, QRM Heterodyne Frappuccino.
That's a good choice. How's it going? Did you
get all those antennas up before the HOA police
showed up? Yeah, I got them all done. Thanks
for telling me about Tower Electronics. Now I
can have my coffee. I just saved a bunch of money
on my PL259s by switching to Tower Electronics.

again apologies for running late tonight we've
had all kinds of technical problems and there
still may be some crackle in the microphone here
so we'll keep trying I promise you I've spent
Five or six hours on this just in the last three
or four days Trying to trying to make sure this
all works and of course as soon as we get ready
to go on it That's when Murphy shows up just
like in ham radio. So anyway, if you have a question,
let us know at ham talk live or Give us a comment
here on Spreaker John also says w4 usf says thanks
to your service to the ham community and is Just
asked is the University of Wyoming on the air.
So Do you know anything about that? Oh, yeah,
we've actually had to kind of work on that a
little bit Yeah. Yeah, you made the contact through
them and we work Pretty closely with the University
of Wyoming, it's UARC, University Amateur Radio
Club, I believe is the official title of their
club. And we share a repeater site with them.
So we work with them regularly, but honestly,
I don't know about their club station. I don't
know what they have or I don't know too much
about that one, unfortunately. Yeah, we were
trying to get those schools and I think that
was who we contacted at one point. I believe
so. during a school club roundup. Let's see,
Tom, wy7ky says that I should tell you that you
sound better on VHF. Actually, you sound better
than on VHF. Yeah, and Tom is... Tom is one of
the backbones of this group. He's been, uh, been
part of the club for years and he's a Kentucky
boy. So he's, uh, he, he had a lot of, a lot
of, uh, shots on, uh, the UK boys, their basketball
tip told me I need to get a few zingers in on
you, but I, I refrained. So Tom's, yeah, he's
been a huge help, uh, in putting this event together.
So he's, he's one of the. big heavy hitters in
the background well we can't uh we can't fold
him for that so uh we'll uh we'll see how how
the old wildcats do but uh we'll see if they
even play at this point Add him talk live on
Twitter or comment here on Spreaker if you have
a question here. Oh, and yes, John reminds me
he's an IU fan. He's in Florida, but and I'm
in Boyington and I'm a UK fan and he's an IU
fan. I don't know. Well, anyway, you know, you've
got some Some stories to tell I know from from
roving and again, you're gonna be roving Kansas
this weekend You got any good satellite roving
stories I've got one that kind of stands out
over all the rest. I Went up my wife. The reason
I got into satellites was my wife got back into
fly fishing And I have the attention span of
a gnat. So fly fishing isn't going to work for
me. So we were going to be out in the middle
of nowhere, Wyoming, and I knew people would
be wanting grid. So I decided I'd learn, get
into satellites. And that's been a great, great
thing for us. We go camping and she does one
and I do the other. So we went up to the Big
Horn National Forest. It's up near Sheridan,
Wyoming, near the Montana border. And I'm doing
passes. I'm handing out Delta November 64, and
people are loving it because it's not a common
grid square. And I was on an FM A092 pass in
the morning, and I thought I heard somebody call
me from Delta November 64. And so it was WA9JBQ,
who's Rick, who's actually out roving right now.
I make contact with him and he gives me DN64.
And I'm like, well, I'm in DN64. And again, nobody's
ever in DN64. So we start, you know, and it was
early on in the past, so it was still fairly
quiet. And I'm like, where in Delta November
64 are you? And he's like, oh, the Bighorn National
Forest. I'm like, well, I'm in the Bighorn National
Forest. And he's like, well, I'm in this little
area called Burgess Junction. I'm like, well,
I'm in this little area called Burgess Junction.
And we just kept going down and I'm like, you
know, are you on this road? Yeah. He was camping
about three quarters of a mile from where I was
camping. So we made a satellite contact three
quarters of a mile away from each other, not
knowing each other in the middle of the national
forest miles from anyone else. There were more
cows than there were people. Um, so that one
was kind of over the top. Uh, pretty amazing
to, and then, you know, half hour later he drove
down and, you know, got to meet him and eyeball
QSO. So it was, it was a pretty spectacular one.
Yeah. Now you got to make some eyeball cues.
So it was on this power tour last summer and
that's, that's where we have to see each other.
So tell us a little bit about the power tour.
So my other hobby is old cars. So I've got a
1972 El Camino that I drove out of a farmer's
field and Neil can attest that I haven't done
any body work on it at all. But it runs, I've
put thousands of miles on it and the Hot Rod
Power Tour, it's Hot Rod magazine every year
for 25 years now. It's essentially a car, it's
a moving car show. It's seven cities in seven
days. And the shows are usually in 150 to 250
miles apart from one another. So this whole car
show moves from one place to another. There's
no competition or anything. It's just kind of
a rolling cruise night, if you will. And so I've
done it for three years now. And I've taken my
ham radio equipment, specifically my satellite
equipment, and traveled along through Kansas
and Missouri, down as far as Alabama. Georgia,
North Carolina. So we've been all over the place
with it. And on this last trip, I did a big roving
trip out of it. I think I activated 28 grids
or something, had an eyeball QSO with you, KB2
ISI, K2 MTS, K0 FFY. I'm sure I'm leaving somebody
out, but. Yeah. Yeah. It's a great way, you know,
and that's a great part of this hobby is, is
meeting there's so many people and so many ways
to get together with them and talk to them on
the air. But then when you can, you know, sit
across the table and have lunch with them or
something, it's, it's a great time. Yeah. It's
always cool to meet up with the people and, uh,
glad we got to, uh, to do that because that,
that was definitely, uh, not something that would
happen normally. And, uh, we were able to pull
that off. And that was the last minute. That
day was pretty busy. We, you, you caught us in
the, you know, I was in the middle of the road.
I, you know, that was, uh, yeah, that was, I
was pretty pooped by that point in time in the
week, you know, driving a thousand miles in a
72 El Caminos, you know, with a five speeds.
You're worn out by the end of the week. Yeah.
Well, it was, uh, It was a lot of fun that day.
I was glad to see it and see the Elko. So we've
got the famous Elko here. All right, the captain
is chiming in that I don't have the phones turned
on. So we're at the end. We're going to try it.
And I'm going to tell it, no, don't update. We're
going to see. It may crash, but we're going to
try it. Let's see. Am I cutting out? Okay, it's
not great, but all right. Let's give it a try
859 -982 -7373 is the number and I think the
captain wants to get a word in edgewise here,
so let's see if KG5GJT gets in here 859 -982
-7373 or you can tweet us at HamTalkLive or comment
and we'll finish things up here and See if we
can get that going on so Tom mentions here too
and I'll retweet this as we speak the website
for the club and the W7Y event, the website there.
So we just tweeted out the URL for that. And
RJ, why don't you go through that contact information
again for the Come and Get Wyoming event where
they can find you on the web and on social media
and all that again. Yeah, excellent. Yeah, it's
a the club name is shy why so it's SH why dash
w why and if you search that online You'll find
the club website pretty easily, but it's it's
shy why a RC net That's the website and it's
wide open on the front page You'll you'll see
the you'll see the special event right up front
and then there's an email address, which is shy
why events And the QRZ page for W7Y has all the
linked info as well. All right, very good. So
keep an eye on that. It's September 6th through
15th. Come and get Wyoming. All right. We've
got a call on the line. I'm assuming it's Brian.
Good evening. Welcome to Amtok Live. Hi, this
is KG5GTC. This is Brian in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Well, there he is. Okay. The computer hasn't
crashed yet. So go right ahead. I wanted to tell
both y 'all. I wanted to tell both y 'all hello.
Good to hear y 'all on. And I'm crushed that
they're not having the event. I had big plans
to get the wife and go up there and meet a bunch
of people, meet RJ and a bunch of other guys.
But Obviously we can't do that this year. So
my question is this, RJ, will they let your group
host the event next year or will it go into some
other location? Yes, it's looking like we'll
be able to do next year. It sounds like the Rocky
Mountain Division is going to get pushed a year.
Wyoming was up for the division convention in
2021. So it sounds like that's being pushed as
well for a year. So it sounds like the space
is going to be open for 2021. So we got our fingers
crossed and I think we can make it work. All
right. Well, then hopefully I will see you all
up there in 2021. We'd love to have you I you
were one of the first people that you were the
first one to jump on the bandwagon and said I
Need to be in Wyoming and we really appreciate
that All right, well look good to hear from y
'all and y 'all stay safe and I'll talk to y
'all later All right, Brian take care since we're
calling Eight five nine nine eight two seventy
three seventy three is the number And we'll hold
it open here for another minute or so. And see
if we get any more calls. But come and get Wyoming
is the event. And you've got several days that
you can put Wyoming in the log if you need it.
So make sure you check them out at W7Y. All right.
Well, RJ, thank you so much for coming on. Hang
on, we do have another call, so let's take another
call. Hello, welcome to Hamtalk Live. Hey Neil,
how you doing? Tom, W -I -7 -K -Y. Hello there,
and should we do the C -A -T -S cheer, or is
that legal? Yeah, we're just gonna go around
