Hello From Gibraltar.

ZB2FOC will be used during the month of MAY 2013.               

First Class CW Operators’ Club 75^th Anniversary On-Air Celebration

Founded in May of 1938, the First Class CW Operators' Club (FOC) promotes good CW operating, activity, friendship and socialising via its worldwide membership of approximately 500. Members are active on all HF bands and the character of the club is best expressed in its motto: "A man should keep his friendship in constant repair" - Samuel Johnson (1755)

To commemorate our 75^th anniversary in May FOC is planning a month-longon-air event featuring many special “FOC” suffix calls. These will include G75FOC, (a special anniversary call for our club station), and others from the UK, the USA, and from more exotic locations such as VQ9 and 5T.

Stations will gain points for contacting any FOC member and a beautiful certificate will be presented to stations who reach certain point levels.

15 points = Bronze, 30 points = Silver, 50 points = Gold.

QSO with an FOC member = 1 point

QSO with an FOC member lasting 10 minutes or longer = 3 points

QSO with an FOC suffix station(or M0RSE) = 5 points

QSO with G75FOC = 10 points

One QSO is allowed per station per band. All bands are allowed but QSOs must be CW, of course.

Listen for FOC members calling “CQ FOC 75.” A list of current members can also be found on this web site in the “About FOC” section.

Electronic logs for the FOC 75^th Anniversary Award should be submitted to: foc.75years@gmail.com.

QSLs for G75FOC should be sent to G3SWH: www.g3swh.org.uk

I enjoy the planning and logistics involved with DXPeditioning. Areas of contribution have included securing sponsorships, radio selection, PCs, logging, networking, station integration/staging and antennas selection.

My home station is located on 5 acres, approximately 6 miles NW of Blairsville GA. In EM74.

Equipment consists of the following:

Station 1

• Elecraft K3, Alpha 77SX, SB220 (6 meters)

Station 2

• Elecraft K3, KPA-500 or Command Tech HF-2500, 2 meter HB SS KW

Antennas

• 160 and 80 Shunt Fed Tower
• 80 dipoles
• 40/30 Dipoles
• 20/15/10 Force 12 C31xr
• 17/12 Dual 3 element interlaced Yagi of my design
• 6 meters 5 element Yagi HB K5AND design
• 2 meters 9 element InovAntennas Loop Fed Array

DR1A is the contest callsign of the DF0CG crew (DB6JG, DJ6ET, DJ7EG, DJ7EO, DL6FBL and friends), Deutscher Amateur Radio Club e.V. (DARC) chapter Goch, DOK L06. You can find a lot of information, pictures, videos etc. on our websitehttp://www.dr1a.com. You can also find us on Facebook.

ALL QSOs from 2005 until 2009 have been confirmed over the DARC QSL bureau, whose colleagues are doing a great job. We are currently preparing on sending cards out automatically for all contacts in 2010 and 2011. Our QSL cards have different pictures for every year. All contacts until the end of December 2011 have also been uploaded to LotW. You can also send a direct QSL request (SASE + 2USD/IRC) to:

Bernd Och, DL6FBL
Christian-Wirth-Str. 18
D-36043 Fulda
Germany

We are constantly improving the station for better Multi/Multi performance. We have been greatly supported in this process by DF6JC, DJ7WW, DL2OE, DL3BPC, DL3DXX, DL8DYL, DL8WPX, DL9DRA, DL9ECA, PC5A and many others. A big, big THANK YOU to all national and international supporters.

A new project is opening our RX capabilities to the public. We have set up a QS1R SDR receiver, which works together with the Skimmer Server software, and provides the decoded CW spots worldwide by feeding them to the Reverse Beacon Network (RBN). To check out which signals are decoded on the DR1A premises in almost realtime, you can either click here: (RBN website) or you can use our direct TELNET access at qth.dr1a.com port 7301 (do NOT use your Web Browser for the TELNET access (we can see from the log files that some people are trying this.). For the login, please just use your callsign.
The difference between the RBN website and direct telnet access is the quality/amount of spots to be seen. The RBN website only displays spots that have been qualified as a "CQ spot" (station is calling CQ, as identified by decoded phrases like "CQ" or "TEST"). Our direct telnet access also reveals callsigns, but even when it's not yet sure if it's really "their" frequency - or if they were just calling somebody else. That is very helpful while chasing DX-Peditions: you may quickly identify their current QSX frequency. Of course this creates a huge flood of data, but if you are able to filter it to your own desire, it may be helpful.
Please note that we are currently experimenting on which antennas to use for the Skimmer setup, WHILE we are transmitting at the same time. Instead of our stacked Yagis, we most probably will use our distant RX Verticals and Beverages on the Skimmer! We also have to analyze the impact of our own transmitted signals on the quality on the decoded spots: when we are taking part in a contest from our own premises, how often does our own RF create "busted" callsigns on the Skimmer? The first LIVE TEST will be during ARRL CW Contest (Feb 18-19), when DL8DYL and DL6FBL are operating the station.

Whenever you hear us in a contest, please give us a call - even if you have worked us before in the last contest! We do appreciate every contact very much. And listen closely, we are DR1A - not DL1A. :-)

This is a special event callsign used by Jim, VQ9JC, for the month of May 2013 as part of a celebration of the 75th anniversary of the First Class CW Operator's Club (FOC).

Contacts made with VQ975FOC as well as other FOC-suffix callsigns operated by club members (as well as M0RSE) are worth five points toward a special certificate that can be earned during this one-month period. There will be 50 or more special callsigns on the air during the month from nearly 30 different DXCC entities. Work any 3 of them and you will have qualified for the basic FOC award. How simple is that! Go to www.g4foc.org for more info on the celebration and the award.

The FOC fraternity is built on CW communications of course, but it especially focuses on getting to know each other. In fact, the motto of FOC is a quote from Samuel Johnson, an English writer who in 1755 said that "a man should keep his friendship in constant repair". Quick contacts are quite common the ham bands, but maintaining a friendship is paramount, so keep working at it!

The following is my tentative schedule for being QRV. Pse keep in mind that I'm at Diego Garcia on a work assignment, and that my operating will generally be during my local evening hours. (The local time is GMT +6 all year around.) The days that are marked with a "+1" are those that I might be able to remain QRV until 1700Z.

May 4 (S) - 1230-1600Z +1

May 28 (T) - 1330-1600Z
May 31 (F) - 0830-1600Z +1

I must QRT at about 1600Z (at 1700Z on weekends) during most of my on-air days so that I can catch the last boat back to the ship where I live and work. There are no hotels on the island, so if I miss the last boat, I sleep on the ground with the lizards and crabs!

Because the FOC is a CW group, most of my on-air time will be in that mode. But I'm well aware that there are lots of WPX chasers out there who look for prefixes on other modes, and I will make the call available on SSB on occasion. I'm also hoping to put PSK and RTTY back on the air from here in the near future. Pse note however that only CW contacts are valid toward the FOC award.

Good luck and have fun with the FOC 75th Anniversary celebration! CU in the pileups!
