VE4ABU Releases CCN PSK Software

Allan Rowe, VE4ABU, has released version 1.0 of the Century Club PSK program. This program has been in beta testing by several PSK net NCS and participants the past several weeks. The program is similar to the popular CCN Logger program and is capable of logging and posting net check-in rosters to the internet email groups. More importantly, the software features it's own PSK decoding and waterfall so all that is needed to get on the PSK nets is an audio connection to and from your HF radio.

The program is free and is available at www.ve4abu.com/Ve4abu_CCN_Psk.zip

Welcome back Leon, K0LU, to the nets this past few days! It's time to plow the fields or North Dakota and Lou's tractor is very well equipped with an outstanding Hi-Q antenna (for more information visit their website at www.hiqantennas.com) that sounds like he's operating fixed! Thanks for being with us, Leon...

By the way, that's NOT Leon in the cab but his grandson! In the background you can see Leon's fixed station towers and antennas!

Rodeo Nights on the Century Club

Thursday evening, April 10th, KU0G hosted a Rodeo Night special event on the 75 Meter Early Net. Approximately 75 operators participated in the net where each station was given one minute to make and complete as many calls as possible. WA6HZE also hosted Rodeo Night on the Friday night 40 Meter Late Net in conjunction with a local rodeo taking place near his California QTH.  More of these special event nights are planned in accordance with the Club's by-laws. Pictured at right is Jim, KU0G, having donned his ceremonial ten-gallon hat to get in the spirit of "Yeehaw Night" on the net! He is using three different computers to work the nets. A laptop to run Live Logger and the VE4ABU chat client, a PC for rig control and logging as well as digital modes, and another PC for email and website work.

Website Maintenance Update

The good news first... All pages should now be working with the standard website theme! Please continue to report any pages that are not accessible or have problems (OTHER than the button bars on the left panel).

Now, the bad news... After several weeks of working to reorganize the website it has become clear to me that the best use of my limited volunteer time would be to rebuild the website from the ground up. With that in mind I have stopped updating any of the current pages EXCEPT the homepage. In the near future the new website will be rolled out to a select list of beta readers. After it passes muster and has the approval of the club president the new website will go public.

Thanks for continued patience as this project moves forward! JD

Ginger Wonderling, AB6YL, YL from KH6

Ginger operated from Hawaii through the courtesy of KH7CC. She racked up an impressive number of contacts! Ginger's first night on the 40M Late SSB Net saw her very busy being the only station called by all but one check in during the first round!

Thanks, Ginger, for bringing a YL contact in Hawaii to the nets and enjoy your time on the islands between nets!!!
