If you’re planning on using librenms I would suggest using Oxidized as you can integrate it into librenms. > On Apr 14, 2019, at 8:00 AM, fsg-public-request(a)lists.keekles.org wrote: > > Send FSG-public mailing list submissions to > fsg-public(a)lists.keekles.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.keekles.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fsg-public > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > fsg-public-request(a)lists.keekles.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > fsg-public-owner(a)lists.keekles.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of FSG-public digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Tampa AC has been replaced
by Bryan Fields 04 Apr '19

04 Apr '19

Ryan and I made a trip up the the Tampa site yesterday and replaced the AC unit. We've now got a full ton on AC up in the room, the AC just fit into the 24" open space we had. https://i.imgur.com/Bx73GYF.jpg We also replaced the PA fan on the 224.280 repeater. We got 3 years on the prior AC unit, which was used, it was installed in April 10, 2016 right after we moved in there. 12k BTU's should be good enough as we're in a 10x30 300 sqft shelter. We still need a solution to monitor the temp up there, perhaps into SNMP for alarming. If anyone has an idea for this please let us know. 73's -- Bryan Fields, W9CR Florida Simulcast Group, Inc.

I just picked up one of these, they are great unit's at a good price. If you want to swap the keypad for the non-crypto one (about 30 dollars), it will be a full brightness display, and you can sell the crypto board for 50-75 dollars on eBay. > https://www.facebook.com/groups/1494187934184592/permalink/2277534232516621… I have no interest in it, and no, I won't program your radio :) 73's -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net

Tampa Ac unit
by Bryan Fields 15 Jan '19

15 Jan '19

Ac unit has seized up in Tampa per Erron. He unplugged it and it's about 90f in the room now. We need to get a replacement in there ASAP. The installed unit was 8000 BTU and it ran 24x7 keeping it cool in there. I've been looking and we may want to size up to a replacement, and there is 208v right by the unit if we want to do that. Our limiting factor is the 24x24 inch opening in the wall. 73's -- Bryan Fields, W9CR Florida Simulcast Group, Inc.

Tampa Bay Hamfest this Saturday
by Bryan Fields 07 Dec '18

07 Dec '18

I'll be giving a talk about HamWAN in Tampa Bay at the ham fest at 10am Saturday. We have a booth there too, but with Ryan gone, no one is able to staff it. If anyone wants to use it to sell at or just bring a cooler and some rum and cokes that's cool too. Please hit me up if you're interested in this. http://fgcarc.org/general-information/ I'll have some of the EX600's to give out to new hams as well. 73's -- Bryan Fields, W9CR Florida Simulcast Group, Inc.

Now that is interesting... Is it the magnetism or the Helium? Be cool to place a iPhone in a helium rich environment and see what happens. I think it was the magnetism, as one cannot breathe Helium well. And after all, Magnetism is a component of RF. Back in the early days of Digital TV Broadcasting, there was an issue discovered in Dallas Texas in 2001. WFAA wanted to do a test of coverage of Digital HD from their facility late at night. So they got a DTV transmitter for Channel 9 and plugged it into their Channel 8 antenna (it was broadband enough to manage good SWR on 9 for the test, and Harris had a combiner all ready to use from another demo). They turned this system on on a Sunday morning at like 4 am to see how coverage in DT matched coverage in NTSC. Every heart monitor system in the Dallas area hospitals went nuts! Seems that heart monitor systems use low level RF to communicate from the patient to the display. These systems used "white area" frequencies in the TV band and, in Dallas, since the nearest channel 9 is in Oklahoma, the suppliers set the frequency for Channel 9... And since these are Part 15 devices, nobody at WFAA TV knew that they were on the Channel 9 frequency, which they chose precisely because there was no other Channel 9 nearby. It isn't known if anybody died, but for Belo Broadcasting and Harris, it was a real fun Sunday morning. Gents, I too am losing interest. Seems that there is a serious lack of brains left in Ham Radio. And it is disheartening. -lu-w4lt- > -----Original Message----- > From: FSG-public [mailto:fsg-public-bounces@lists.keekles.org] On Behalf Of > fsg-public-request(a)lists.keekles.org > Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2018 8:00 AM > To: fsg-public(a)lists.keekles.org > Subject: FSG-public Digest, Vol 38, Issue 2 > > Send FSG-public mailing list submissions to > fsg-public(a)lists.keekles.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.keekles.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fsg-public > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > fsg-public-request(a)lists.keekles.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > fsg-public-owner(a)lists.keekles.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of FSG-public digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

HamWAN and Health and Welfare traffic for the Salvation Army
by Luis V. Romero 12 Oct '18

12 Oct '18

All: Just to let you know that FLG's HamWAN connectivity is being used by Tampa ARC to supply communications services for the Salvation Army's Southeastern Depot facility in relation to the Hurricane Michael recovery efforts in the Panama City area. TARC's HF remote base transceiver, using RemoteHams.com remote base software is currently connected via the internet from a control point in the Salvation Army's Southeastern Depot on Nebraska avenue, through the internet into FLG's HamWAN system connectivity from Downtown Tampa and then to the TARC Clubhouse in East Tampa. This path will be used by the local ARES staff to connect the Salvation Army's logistics staff to their units in the field via the 40 and 80 meter HF bands identifying as W4DUG Remote Base. TARC thanks FSG for their efforts in deploying and maintaining HamWAN's Wireless Internet connectivity facilities. 73 Lu Romero - W4LT TARC

Hi guys I will be giving a talk over at the TARC clubhouse at 7:30pm tonight. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in DMR to learn a lot about this mode and what you can expect on the DMR channels available for use. As most of you know FSG has a DMR repeater at our St Pete site, I also have one over at Tampa Airport. If your free stop on by. 73s Ryan, KJ4SHL kj4shl.com <http://kj4shl.com/>
