WELCOME TO OUR GROUP! WE'RE GLAD YOU STOPPED BY
Group 7155. We hope you enjoy your time with us and hope you come back often. We are not a Net, we have no traffic, just good company and fun. No limits on the numbers of rounds, we just run until we run out of steam. We have lots of hams with lots of backgrounds. nO


Here are Just a Few Simple Rules of Stuff We Adhere To . . .

No Religion, No Politics
It tends to get the claws out, spurious emissions, fur flyin' all over the radio room floor. So messy. Takes five brooms to sweep it up. Pile of woes. So we avoid it.

NetLogger:
Respect those who run NetLogger and try to be patient - the ones who volunteer to run NetLogger are trying to help the group, to help you - please recognize that and act accordingly. Anyone in the group can run NetLogger, all you have to do is ask Rocco or Nick - and it will also help you to understand the mechanics of operating the software, setting up the session, entering the names, call signs and other relevant information all in real time as stations arrive - kind of like being a DJ in a nut farm. So be kind to them, or they'll make you run it next time. rolling pin<~~~Click that thing to familiarize yourself.

Regarding email:
Do not solicit political or religious email to other members of the group, mass email or otherwise.

"2"
Two minutes at the microphone when it comes to you so that others will have their turn. Please remember to briefly pause before you begin to transmit so that others might comment or for those who want to join.

Rocco has a huge radio room just like many others in the Group. You name it, he 's got it. Rocco runs our Group using NetLogger nearly every morning. Others chip in when he's not around. He calls it "Herding Cats."i

Okay, absolutely no religion, politics or cussin. We like to remain friendly like, cordial and comical at times.

Even though we use NetLogger, we are just a bunch of guys yackin' about a hobby they truly love and every-single-thing that goes with it. When the group gets large we invoke a 2 minute rule at the mike so everyone can get a turn. We have nuclear scientists, rocket scientists, ex-horsemen, ex-ship captains, pilots, RVers, an HRO employee, actors, truck drivers, regular Joes and more. So, start your day here and Join Us! Stop by and see what the buzz is all about.

Put on some free ears!

SDR IMAGE LINKS (shown below): You will notice they not only take you directly to the SDR, they are already set up for our frequency! Tip: Use Edge, Opera, Safari or Firefox as your browser. If you try using Internet Explorer you will most likely have "no-audio" issues. Now, these SDRs count on donations, so don't forget to make yours to these fine SDR people who work hard so you can hear all the stations in your group.

Here are the SDRs we use

SDR Half Moon Bay San Franscisco.....UTAH SDR.....Sedona SDR

..KIWI SDR CANADA..V

Note: The SF-SDR, or Half Moon Bay, has been down
for a while so it is catch as catch can.

 

 

Here is NetLogger:

We use NetLogger to aid in making sure everyone gets to have a turn at the mike. NetLogger is a great program - it has chat too. So if you don't have it you should get it, and it is FREE. Makes it so easy to follow the Group. Just click the NetLogger logo link below.

USING NETLOGGER IS PRETTY GARSH-DARN SIMPLE
HERE'S WHAT I DO (after I have downloaded it and set it up)

- In the morning I click on the Netlogger icon on my desktop
- Then I see a blank form in front of me -- So what do I do?
- I click-on the tourquise rectangular button (at top) labled SELECT NET right (under the UTC clock and a little to the right).
- Magically a list pops up
In the list, look for Group 7155 -- hightlight it and go to the bottom of that page and hit SELECT NET;
- Then, if we are gathering you will see our Call Signs, Names, etc.
- Once you are visible to our Moderator he will add you to the list.

Note:
You cannot add yourself or others to the List, because that requires a Password, and that's the Moderator's job. More on this when you have your turn at the mike to give you Call Sign, Name and QTH and ask Qs.

We are waiting to greet you. See you soon.

Tuning Lost

Eyes turned to Heaven, heart likewise, unseen
the roads the RF plies that I shall ride,
but glory promised, places never been
whose denizens await my CQ wide,

I cut a wire by wavelength’s mystery
from arcane lore of Elmers’ knowledge shared,
four sixty-eight, divide by frequency
reveals the length to which a dipole’s pared.

But hist! The meter shows a res’nance low!
I’ve cut too long! But there’s no need to cry..
No fear, my Elmer shared the trick to know -
I guess the length and quick the knife apply.

O woe! Alas! This mess I now must toss!
I’ve cut too short, the project is a loss.
