 primary HF voice mode.
Today, a group of dedicated radio amateurs keeps the flame alive, getting on AM frequently, and for many of them, AM is their primary operating mode. The AM Rally gives the uninitiated a chance to dip a toe into the pool, so to speak.
AM superstar Tim Smith, WA1HLR, with the Gates BC-1T AM broadcast transmitter he helped to restore for occasional use under W1AW or under the ARRL Headquarters Operators Club call sign, W1INF.
The event website has complete AM Rally details, contact information, award categories, logging, and tips on how to get the most out of your station equipment in AM mode. Contact Clark Burgard, N1BCG, for more information.
The event is sponsored by Radio Engineering Associates (REA), in cooperation with ARRL, which supports all modes of Amateur Radio operation. W1AW will play a leading role in the event, as it has for the past 2 years.
Certificates will be awarded to stations scoring the highest number of points in each of the five power classes, regardless of rig category, both for most contacts and most states/provinces.
"AM superstar Tim Smith, WA1HLR...."
Tim is also a former Teenage Idol heart throb!
I'll never be so famous but I hope to have the Colonel here stabilized by then.
Moved him to 3890 and he's gone nuts.
Caught you on the Ham Nation Steve. Good segment and nice promo for the rally. I plan to participate again this year now that I've got the Glob King 500 back on the air.
A new version of the AM Rally Logging software is available.
Feel free to test, experiment and/or become familiar with the logger (whether you use ADIF files or not) - use the software as if the event were live, enter stations, upload logs to the server, etc.
I will clean out all uploaded test logs from the server just prior to the start of the event.
Ooohhh! This wasn’t around the last time I was on AM! Can’t wait!
I'm all set. I'm going to take the wife out for dinner on her Bday, in the Day Light. Maybe this will work out.... I just might even have my Hi-Par Saturn 6 hanging up in the living room for the event.
ADIF users, please download 4.0.5 of the AM Rally software. I corrected an upload problem. 4.0.4 will still work ok, but one field is missing in the upload that, if it is there, will make parsing the country fields a whole lot better. Thanks!
This only affect folks importing and uploading ADIF logs.
75 meters has been going very long during the evenings recently. This pattern may persist through the AM Rally.
For more local contacts, 160 meters may be the place to be. For working the folks from far away at night, 75 meters will probably be pretty good for that.
75 has been GREAT in the afternoons right up to early evening.
Help make AM stand out!
While keeping a log isn’t a requirement, those who submit logs help us document the popularity of the AM mode, and leaders in the following categories and classes will be recognized. Either way, it’s helpful to mention your station’s category and class as a benefit to others.
For example, W1AW is a “G5” station that uses a Gates BC1T transmitter running over 250 Watts.
What type is your station? Be sure to mention your type of station when making contacts!
Have fun in the operating event and thanks for helping promote the AM mode!
It's nice to see a display in the rack. There's one case where newfangled items need not detract from the classics.Sales doubled since 2010, Salesforce is king, and much more in this great infographic from SAAS Addict.
software as a service has skyrocketed in terms of popularity and growth in the recent years. the saas industry has allowed for so much innovation, it’s incredible to look at a timeline of such development. every so often, i find it useful to take a step back and look at the bigger picture of the lifecycle of the product i like to blog about.
below is an infographic by staff.com, which outlines some of the most drastic accomplishments in the saas industry in the past couple years. they present important information such as the global saas revenue from 2010-2015 and show a comparison between saas and packaged software sales. personally, i find the list of the top saas companies to be some of the most useful and interesting information here. the numbers and statistics are great, however learning about your competitors and their methods is a very useful tactic. still, salesforce, which is often considered the founder of the saas industry is number one! showing how significant original ideas are in the field.
The rapidly evolving technology of gene transfer offers novel and potentially important strategies for the prevention and treatment of human diseases. The current proposal applies viral mediated gene transfer with the intention of altering the beta-cell destructive autoimmune response characteristic of NOD mice. Three general approaches are proposed each targeting the response at a unique site in the diabetogenic immune pathway.
In Aim 1, we will target the terminal phase of the response that is observed in the vigorous destruction of islet grafts transplanted to NOD mice that have already developed diabetes. We will determine whether autoimmune destruction of transplanted islets can be prevented by direct gene transfer to islet grafts using Adenoviral vectors carrying genes encoding either immune suppressive or tolerogenic molecules. To accomplish this, we will take advantage our extensive experience with Adenovirus mediated gene transfer to pancreatic islets and a large panel of Adenoviral constructs readily available to us.
In Aim II, we will attempt disease prophylaxis in the pre-diabetic period by Adenoviral mediated gene transfer directly to the pancreas of mice expected to become diabetic. We hypothesize that the local expression of immunosuppressive or tolerogenic molecules may abort or reverse beta cell destruction even after initiation. Thus pre-diabetic mice will be treated at time points either before or after the expected development of insulitis and immediately after demonstrating overt diabetes.
In Aim III, we will conduct studies designed to prevent the disease process prior to its initiation through modification of the T cell repertoire during its thymic ontogeny. We have recently developed a model of direct gene transfer to the thymus that is ideally suited for these experiments. This will allow us to determine whether the thymic expression of either immunoregulatory molecules such as MHC class II, or the leading candidate for a diabetogenic autoantigen, GAD65, will eliminate or down regulate the clones of T cells responsible for autoimmune beta-cell destruction. We expect these studies will not only lead to the development of relevant therapeutic strategies, but also will further our understanding of the sequence of immunological derangements that result in autoimmune beta-cell destruction.CLINICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF ROUTINE DIAGNOSTIC LAPAROSCOPY TO GUIDE INITIAL TREATMENT IN PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED-STAGE EPITHELIAL OVARIAN CANCER IN DUTCH CLINICAL PRACTICE: EVALUATION OF SUPPORT AND A BUDGET IMPACT ANALYSIS.
The implementation of routine DLS for guiding treatment planning in patients with advanced-stage EOC has limited support in the Netherlands. Over the years, total health care costs decreased. For current practice, it is advised that a DLS is useful in case it is uncertain whether a successful primary CRS is feasible based on conventional work-up.
The DLS use to guide treatment planning increased from 16% to 20%. The majority of the centers did not support routine DLS implementation, mainly because of logistic barriers and its invasive nature. The primary CRS rate of all CRS decreased from 44% to 36%, in favor of interval CRS. The unsuccessful primary CRS rate decreased from 15% to 9% resulting in fewer patients needed a second interval CRS. Consequently, total health care costs decreased from €4.457.496 to €4.274.751.
In patients with advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), a diagnostic laparoscopy (DLS) to determine treatment regime prevents futile laparotomies and seems cost-neutral. The uptake of DLS in current practice is unknown. We evaluated the clinical application of routine DLS in treatment planning in patients with advanced-stage EOC in the Netherlands.
The implementation was evaluated over the period 2017-2019, using a health technology assessment including clinical, organizational, and economic factors. Barriers for implementation were identified and DLS use was assessed using semi-structured surveys with healthcare professionals. Data from the Dutch Gynecological Oncology Audit were used to determine (un)successful CRS rates. To assess the economic impact, we performed a budget impact analysis (BIA) of the combined interventions of DLS and primary CRS.
