ARRL Midwest Division Newsletter March 2021
ARRL Midwest Division NewsletterMarch 2021Midwest Division’s website: http://www.arrlmidwest.org/Introductory NewsletterArt Zygielbaum, KØAIZAs you’ve guessed, we’re getting our act together in the MidwestDivision. On January 1, 2021, at high noon Eastern Time, RodBlocksome, KØDAS, stepped down as the Division Director. Myjob is to try to fill his shoes. And they are big shoes to fill. Roddid a remarkable job for you and me and the League as aDirector. Well-liked and well-respected, Rod’s departure leaves avacuum on the Board, and offers me a steep learning curve.Thank you Rod, for your patience, your skills and experience, andyour willingness to make our hobby and our League better.This is the first newsletter of my tenure and it’s going to be relatively short. We’re using this issue tointroduce me, Vice Director Dave Propper, K2DP, and our Division Section Managers to you, in caseyou haven’t had a chance to get to know us. I’ve also included a couple of items of interest at the end.You’ll notice that the list of Assistant Directors is missing. Dave and I are working on the organizationand appointments and will have the list published in the next newsletter.Dave and I are also working hard to be sure we have good communications among ourselves and theSection Managers. As we complete Assistant Director appointments, we’ll create mechanisms to allowus all to communicate easily and fairly frequently. For example, the Section Managers, Dave and I, nowhave a monthly Zoom meeting to talk about news from headquarters, amateur radio issues, and thehappenings and needs in each section. We’ll have larger meetings on probably a quarterly basis withthe ensemble including the Assistant Directors and other Division appointees. By the way, all four of ourSection Managers are also Assistant Directors.The most important message I have for you, the ARRL members in the Midwest Division, is that all of usat the Division level are here for you. If you need help in dealings with the ARRL or help in some aspectof amateur radio, please contact one of us. Please contact Dave, your Section Manager, or me, if wecan help in some way.Thanks for being ARRL members and thank you for taking part in an amazing hobby.73, Art KØAIZ
ARRL Midwest Div. Newsletter — March 2021Art Zygielbaum, KØAIZARRL Midwest Division DirectorThat’s a picture of me operating W6VIO – W6 Voyager in Outer space – from the Jet PropulsionLaboratory Amateur Radio Club’s station in, maybe 1979. We used slow-scan television tosend the pictures we were receiving from one of the Voyager spacecraft as it encountered themoons of Jupiter. Heady and exciting times! And a great example of how amateur radio makesour world a little better.It’s an honor to be the Midwest Division Director. For those who don’t know me, I’ll provide a bitof background.My wife, Chris, and I live in Lincoln, NE. Chris earned a General class license with the callN6CLZ. Our son and daughter-in-law live in Southern California. We have two granddaughtersaged 10 months and 2 years, 10 months.I’m in my second attempt at retirement. I became an Emeritus Research Associate Professorfrom the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2017. That means that I can have an office if I wantone. I can do research if I’d like to. I get free parking. I don’t get paid. But I don’t have to goto faculty meetings either. In case you haven’t heard it, there is a faculty member’s prayer.“Lord, please let me die during a faculty meetings so that the transition from life to death is toosubtle to notice.”I joined UNL in 1998 after a nearly 30-year career as an engineer and manager at the NASA/CALTECH Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). As an engineer, I worked on tracking systems andwas on the tracking and science teams for missions like Voyager, Helios, and Viking (the first2
ARRL Midwest Div. Newsletter — March 2021Mars lander). As a manager and executive, I was primarily involved in space informationsystems.My college education includes a BS in Physics from UCLA, a MS in Electrical Engineering fromUSC, and a PhD from the UNL in Geography/Remote Sensing.In 1961, my ham career started as a Novice (WV6SAL). Within six months, I upgraded toGeneral class and my call changed to WA6SAL. I earned an Extra Class “the old fashionedway” – I had to demonstrate the ability to receive 20 wpm Morse code. When we moved toNebraska, in 1998, I changed my call to KØAIZ. June 28, 2021, will mark the 60th anniversaryof my first license.Giving back to the hobby I love is important. I was ARRL Nebraska Section Manager from July2009 through 2013, ARRL Midwest Division Vice Director from July 2015 through 2020, andbecame Midwest Division Director on January 1, 2021. Among other things, my involvementincludes past President of the Lincoln Amateur Radio Club, Jet Propulsion Laboratory AmateurRadio Club, Rio Hondo Amateur Radio Club, and UCLA Amateur Radio Club.When on the air, I operate HF, VHF, and (some) UHF using voice, digital, and (rarely) cw fromhome, portable (QRP), and mobile. The KØAIZ home station is Internet-enabled and can beoperated from anywhere. Writing a lot of the software to make that work was fun. While inCalifornia, I was active in Red Cross communications and RACES. Current I am certified as astorm-spotter in Lincoln and like building equipment, writing software, contesting, DXing, andragchewing. For my free time there are civic and public service boards and membership inLincoln Downtown Rotary.Here’s my contact information:Art Zygielbaum, KØAIZEmail: k0aiz@arrl.orgTelephone: 402-421-0840Paper mail: 6601 Pinecrest Dr., Lincoln, NE, 685163
ARRL Midwest Div. Newsletter — March 2021Dave Propper, K2DPARRL Midwest Division Vice DirectorI am just delighted and thrilled to have the opportunityto serve you, our ARRL members, of the MidwestDivision. I have recently retired from a long career incommercial and defense electronics, the last 34 yearswith The Boeing Company (previously McDonnellDouglas). My career with McDonnell Douglas/ Boeingbrought my family and me to Saint Louis in 1995 wherewe have made our home for the past 26 years. Whileat Boeing, I held both management and technicalleadership responsibilities for the development ofmajor avionics sub-systems for military aircraft, primarily in the areas of fire control radar andelectronic warfare. I was also fortunate to manage several of our international programs over afive year period where I traveled to Finland, Switzerland, Italy, Israel, Australia and NewZealand. And yes, K2DP took amateur radio with him on all of these trips and met many otheramateur radio operators for eyeball QSO’s during my travels abroad!My wife, Sue, and I will be celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary later this year and have twogrown children and 4 grandchildren, ranging in age from 12 – 18. And, oh yes, we have a 5 yearold, 50 pound golden doodle who makes sure that she and I get our walking exercise in daily,excluding days with inclement weather !As you may have guessed, I am originally from the metropolitan New York City area (the K2call sign might be a dead giveaway) and have lived and worked on the East Coast, Boston, MA,New York, New Jersey and Florida, until my wife and I relocated to St. Louis in 1995. I havebeen a licensed radio amateur for more than 55 years and an ARRL member for that entire timeperiod, My dad, Jerry, WA2GEK (SK) started me in amateur radio when I was 7 or 8 years old,allowing me to help him build our first Heathkit receiver in the late 1950’s. The rest, as theysay, is history. I was licensed as WN2PMP in early 1964 and quickly advanced within the 1 yearNovice license time limit to pass the Technician and General Class license exams, becomingWB2PMP for many years. With the introduction of the Incentive Licensing Program in 1967, myfriends and I (all young teenagers) studied for the Advanced Class license exam as soon as itwas available and traveled to New York City to take our exams. After college, marriage, startinga family and of course, work, I found time to sneak over to the FCC office in Miami, FL (near mywork QTH) and take my Extra Class license exam in what became one of the last FCCadministered exam sessions.4
ARRL Midwest Div. Newsletter — March 2021I have enjoyed many facets of the Amateur Radio hobby to date. Yes, I am a DX’er with a mixedmode country total at 355 . I particularly enjoy 50 mhz operation on phone and cw and haveearned DXCC, WAS and WAC on that band. I also enjoy contesting, but throughout my workingcareer and while raising a family, my contesting was limited to getting in 1-2 hours of operatingtime at most! Now that I have retired, I hope to allocate more time contesting. I also enjoy therestoration, repair and operation of vintage SSB/CW and AM equipment from the 1950’s and60’s. Antenna design and experimentation is fun (when the winter weather has left us!!!!!!) and Ihave recently been experimenting with a “window line” (balanced line) fed half wave dipole for3.5mhz – 30 mhz and evaluating different combinations of feed systems, ie: link coupled tuner,modified L–network tuner, 1:1 current balun to short coax, direct balanced line feed to tuner, etc.Rag chewing and getting to know someone on the bands, both on phone or cw is anotherfavorite pastime of mine. Frequently, I look for someone who is “calling CQ.” As I scan thebands daily, I find that very few folks actually pick up the mic or key to call CQ. New hamsappear to be intimidated and a tune across the bands will find many groups in QSO with eachother, but no one looking to meet a new friend. I have been focusing on looking for new(recently licensed) hams to speak with, so that they too, might meet a “new friend” on the air. If Idon’t hear a CQ, I just go ahead and put out a call. If you hear me, give me a call and say hello!Public Service and EMCOMS activities round out the ham radio pallet at K2DP. Through myactivities with the Boeing Employees Amateur Radio Society – St. Louis, I have participated inmany public events providing communications services, as well as interfacing with St. Louis andSt. Charles counties ARES in Missouri.I am an active member of and currently hold leadership positions with both The BoeingEmployees Amateur Radio Society – St. Louis (BEARS) and the Mississippi Valley DX/ContestClub. I am also a member of the QCWA and local St. Louis Chapter and the St. Louis andSuburban Radio Club.As the “new kid on the block” so to speak, I would like to have you share with me what isimportant in amateur radio to you. How can I help you to enjoy your hobby and get the mostfrom it! Please feel free to drop me a line via e-mail, or pick up the phone and give me a call. Ilook forward to hearing from you. And, most of all, I look forward to meeting you in person oncewe resume our hamfests and conventions in a safe environment.Here’s my contact information:Dave Propper, K2DPEmail: k2dp@arrl.orgTelephone: 314-225-5167Paper mail: 747 Old Bonhomme Rd., University City, MO 321325

ARRL Midwest Div. Newsletter — March 2021Ron Cowan, KBØDTIARRL Kansas Section ManagerWhen Art asked us for a short bio piece I thoughtwhere do I begin? I eventually came up with theanswer – start at the beginning.I came in the way many did with Novice classes at thefairgrounds. Then studied on my own and continuedup through Extra. I practiced code with an NC-300 anElmer had deemed a boat anchor. I moved it out ofhis garage as he packed up to move across thecountry.A mouse or two had found it to be a comfortablehome. A couple of tubes and maybe a choke later andI had W1AW coming in.My Novice time was great fun. Mostly sideband on 10 meters. That’s when 10 was open untilmidnight.About 4 years into my new world I discovered the Kansas nets. The gathering place of Kansasoperators exchanging their WX info and relaying messages from allover to allover wasappealing. This was pre-Internet and cell phones were a relatively new thing. I also found theKansas Slow Speed Net, QKS-SS. I felt like I was doing something.Around the same time, I began volunteering with the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society Bike Ridesas a communicator.Now having a feel for the Amateur Radio Service I volunteered as a PIO for several counties. Afew years later WØOYH asked me to be his Section Traffic Manager. He told me I was alreadydoing the work and he wanted to make it official. A short time later Orlan asked me to be anAssistant SM and then SM.My first official function as ASM was to represent ARRL at the Holton hamfest.Since then I have tried to attend all the Kansas hamfests. I also enjoy Field Day and theopportunity to meet with club members around the state and experience the variety of ways theydo Field Day.You can find me on the Kansas nets about every night. I have hosted Kansas Weather NetSaturday evenings since 1996 with the occasional exception for Ham related activities.7

ARRL Midwest Div. Newsletter — March 2021Matt Anderson, KAØBOJARRL Nebraska Section ManagerMy love of radio began back when I was in CubScouts. As part of our radio merit badge we builtthe simple single diode and galena crystal radio.I was simply amazed at how you could pick outradio stations without any battery. I listened forhours and years with that simple set up. My dadsaw how interested I was and decided to help meupgrade my listening experience. When one dayhe brought home a Hallicrafters S-38. WOW,what a cool receiver and I was hooked. Little didI know how this would all come full circle. Mydad knew Bob Fricke (WØPOL) SK and asked ifknew of any radio receivers his son could useand Big Bob as everyone knew him as and Iwould get to know him years later said he hadthis radio that I used for years listening to. Justrecently was able to get that exact same radio that I used from Big Bob's son Robert Jr.WØPOL (he acquired his father's call sign). His dad had it in storage and it was as pristine asthe day I had it. Talk about coming full circle.I got my license June 13th, 1976. My call was and still is KAØBOJ. I had to admit I was just abit disappointed as we were told we would have an N in our call to denote our novice license,but the FCC was in the process of making a change and gave us the KA prefix. There were 8 ofus in the class and we all had sequential call signs. Only one other ham is still alive from thatgroup. I was most decidedly the youngest in the group.My dad and I built my first HF transceiver the HW-16 by Heathkit. It was a fun project and Ireally learned to love the smell of solder smoke. After about a month of evenings we wereready to put it on the air. My dad knew of a young ham Joe Eisenberg WAØWRI (NowKØNEB), he came over and aligned the radio and I was on the air. It was a crystal controlled rigand I could only work 80-40-15. I learned of course how the 40 meter and 15 meter bandswould work together and I was very proficient at that time. My first CW contact I was sonervous. I put out a CQ and with my dad over my shoulder we worked my first CW contact. Iwas so elated. Over the next decade life for me changed. I met my soon to be wife at collegeand Gwen got her radio license after being married for about 20 years. She was KØGAA andnow a SK, falling to the ravages of Ovarian Cancer. We had 3 children, Evan - KCØCWP, Nickand Natalie. The other two kids tried to get their license and always fell 1-2 questions shy, andjust moved on to other things. Once Gwen got her license she could keep better track of thetwo of us, cell phones weren't a thing back then and 2 meters was pretty handy.9
ARRL Midwest Div. Newsletter — March 2021While I was still at home on my 16th birthday I got the surprise of my life. I got a Yaesu FT101EE a beauty of a rig and it was a beast. Little did I know that I had been placing my feetupon the box of the rig for over 6 months. Nothing like hiding in plain sight. LOL. My dad and Itook our class together, but he didn't take the test at that time. Later he and my younger brotherwould go and take another class and got sequential calls KAØEOE for my dad and KAØEOF formy brother Dan. My dad became a Silent Key some 12 years ago now. My brother’s son isinterested in getting his ticket and is looking to get his grandpa's call sign and once again, itwould be father and son.It would be until the mid-nineties that I would finally upgrade to General and then in August of1997 I upgraded to advanced and then the Extra class ticket. That was sure fun!I have been the section manager now 7 times, serving now my 13th & 14th year. I love beingable to give back to a hobby that gives me so much fun and pleasure. I don't know of any otherhobby that can be so satisfying and frustrating at the same time. It's a time machine of sorts. Itallows you to travel anywhere in the world and now beyond, via satellites and the ISS. My sonand I had the pleasure of operating and talking with the MIR space station as he laid in bedrecovering from surgery and he spoke with the cosmonauts as they flew overhead. It was reallyinteresting as the cosmonauts spoke to my son as a father would to a son, poking fun at him forbeing up at 2 am in the morning. It was a great moment for us.In my career as a ham I've had hundreds of thousands of QSO's. Some unfortunately lost to amistake in cleaning a room and about 10 years of contacts forever disappeared. Yet, I havebeen able to still enjoy and look back at the log book and QSL cards remembering fondly thecontacts.I bounce around the state of Nebraska along with my career. Radio Shack, store owner ofGambles Hardware, Menards, Strategic Air Command Museum, TAG Ink and Thread and nowas the Stewardship Director for Child Evangelism Fellowship of Nebraska. After losing my firstwife to Ovarian Cancer I was fortunate enough to get re-married to my high school sweetheartTracy, and we will now be married for 13 years come October 4th.I enjoy most all aspects of the hobby. About the only thing I haven't done is become a VE,although I have that on my radar coming up. I thoroughly enjoy chasing DX and after 40 plusyears finally got the paper work in for my DXCC Mixed and my WAS Mixed. I'm working on 5Band DXCC and 5 Band WAS along with doing that on SSB, CW and FT8. FT8 btw is a modethat I didn't think I'd like, but as I am writing this article, I have both 17 meter and 40 meter FT8working. I have DXCC on FT8 20 meter and within a few QSO's for 10-15-17-40-80 and WASdigital on 20-40-80 and within a few on the remaining bands as well. I am now going to repeatusing QRP and learning about this Raspberry Pi thing. Who knew?It is my hope to eventually become Division Director and to follow in the steps of both Art andDave. Don't worry guys, it'll be a bit. If the Nebraska Section will continue to have me, I'll berunning again in a few years.10
ARRL Midwest Div. Newsletter — March 2021I have a modest station I think, and we will be adding on to the house finally and I'll have a nicebig 12 x 16 room for my ham shack. That will be fun to fill. For HF rigs I have a Yaesu FT1000MP, Icom 7300, Kenwood TS-140S and a Yaesu FT-101EE, HW-16, and a whole mess ofhandheld radios and fixed VHF-UHF stations. I also enjoy HF mobile with my Icom 7000 andLittle Tar Heel II antenna, working about 8,000 QSO the past decade.I am also founding member of the Ashland Amateur Radio Club - KØASH, Child EvangelismFellowship Amateur Radio Club - KØCEF and the Branched Oak Observatory Amateur RadioClub - NØBOO. We incorporate Amateur Radio into the Observatory and for my work as well.Great showing kids the world from sitting in front of a radio.Well, I really could go on about a lot of other things that this hobby has done for me andenjoyed. But I think I'll stop here and say that I am proud to be a Ham in Nebraska for 45 yearsand counting. I am proud to be the Section Manager and also a representative of the Divisionas an assistant. I look forward to getting to know my fellow SM's and of course looking forwardto seeing you on the air.Here’s my contact information:Matt Anderson, KAØBOJEmail: ka0boj@arrl.orgTelephone: 402-480-5515Paper mail: 14300 NW 98th Street, Raymond, NE. 6842811
