ham-radio.1 pifat,
Poštovani radio-amateri i svi ostali, sa velikim zadovoljstvom predstavljam temu koja će se baviti ovim zanimljivim i krajnje zaraznim hobijem. Mišljenja o njemu su različita, od onih koje opisuje izreka "imala majka dva sina, jednog normalnog, a drugog radio-amatera", do toga da je bavljenje ovim hobijem dovelo do značajnih naučnih i tehnoloških otkrića. U svetu ima preko dva miliona registrovanih radio-amaterskih stanica, koje koristi oko četiri miliona ljudi. Samo u Japanu ima preko milion i po amatera, a u SAD oko 550 hiljada. Radio-amateri se nalaze u svim generacijama, od petogodišnjih mališana do oldtajmera sa preko osamdeset i više godina. Pouzdano znam da na Sezamu ima oko tridesetak aktivnih amatera (toliko nas je u grupi cq600oma), ali verovatno ih ima još, ali nisu tako glasni. Da ne dužim ovo početno pisanije, svima želim dobrodošlicu i očekujem brojne priloge. Za sam početak, najnovije DX vesti - ARRL DX vesti sa kraja maja i početka juna, dva poslednja OPDX biltena i dva poslednja izdanja 425 DX NEWS. 73, Igor YT1MM dx2.zip
ham-radio.2 sljubisic,
Pozdravljam otvaranje jedne ovakve teme, jer to ona zaista zasluzuje :) Clanove grupe CQ600OMA ne moram da podsecam da se na Sezamu nalazi oko 60 MB ham-ware, shareware i public domain programa i dokumentacije u vezi sa radio amaterstvom, te ako nekog nesto interesuje (dok ne nateramo nadlezne da nam otvore i direktorijum :) da trazi ovde i bice prosledjeno od strane YT1MM (poznatog i ko Pifat, HI! :) u najkracem mogucem roku.

ham-radio.5 pifat,
Za razliku od DXCC desk-a, ovde se prihvataju i skenirane QSL-ke :)))) P.S. Izgleda da se nešto zaista kreće nabolje u Ministarstvu - sinoć sam posle malo više od dve godine čekanja dobio ovlašćenje, i datum produženja je bio 12. jun 1996!

Da li to znaci da sam ja sa 'svega' 6 meseci cekanja vec presao cetvrtinu puta do dozvole za /E/ ? - ne, nije moguce, da ce se to desiti za samo jos godinu ipo :)
ham-radio.8 pifat,
Proteklih nedelja sam malo vršljao po italijanskom BBS-u Trance, namenjenom pre svega radio-amaterima. U prilogu su spisak fajlova koji se mogu naći na ovom BBS-u i pravila za DXCC diplomu. Potrudiću se da u što kraćem roku pronađem najsvežiju DXCC listu, jer je početkom ove godine bilo nekih prinova na njoj. Pozdrav, Igor trance.zip

ham-radio.24 whitie,
>> Gnjavi malo konkretnije ... :-) ... elem, sta ti treba i sta imas? > Time se bavi moj komsija. Bacicu sve relevantne podatke :) Ocito da startijes u ovoj oblasti pa idemo od pocetka. Program koji ti saljem je pravljen uporedo sa modemom koji pominjes i to jos davno u vreme 8-mobitnih racunaljki. Autor je stigao do verzije 1.5 i bio nezainteresovan za dolji razvoj ( javno molio da ga ne dave ... ). Uz neke probleme, on je radio OK i mozes ga slobodno koristiti. Koliko se secam, ne radi na 486 i vise, a ima probleme i pri anloudovanju rezidentnog dela. Razvoj je nastavio jedan Englez, tako nas spasivsi dragog nam Nemackog jezika. On je zadrzao ime programa, ali se vratio na Ver.1.0 pa je na primer moj favorit BayCom101.zip dve godine mladji od BayCom15.zip. Ove verzije su bitno uticale na razvoj PR-a u Americi i na Internetu i americ- koj literaturi se smatraju za original. Mnogi ( svi ? ) programi u radio amaterskoj upotrebi su startovali kao publik, pa kroz period delimicne registracije stigli u cistu komercijalu. Drajveri iz BayCom-a su postali deo svih tih programa i ne cudi odluka autora ( Nemca ) da ipak nastavi razvoj, ali od Ver. 2.0 U istoriju BayCom-a onda ulaze i neke face iz Beneluksa, pomazuci nam da u programima imamo visejezicnu salatu koju niko ziv vise ne razume. Nadalje, uglavnom su razvijani sami drajveri, a ime programa izbegavano. U Jugi vise nema 2 amatera sa istim CT-om naprimer. Svako krpi i snalazi se kako i odakle zna. Izvorne arhive je vrlo tesko naci i ono malo sto ima je iz perioda pre blokade. Najzad, moram pomenuti i nekog Poljaka koji je rodonacelnik drajvera za InternetProtokol. Po meni, ovo je jedina pametna upotreba PR-a ali je i to malo zakasnilo. Bilo je OK dok smo bili spremni da na Internet gledamo kroz 1200 Bouda multipleksiranu liniju. Danas nam je i opticki kabl nesto tanak :-)) ### Koristim priliku da kod Slobodana narucim 9600man.zip i cluster.zip. ### Moze u postansko sanduce da ne trosimo disk ... TU baycom15.zip

ham-radio.36 maher,
Yo! Planram neko vreme da pocnem da se bavim radiom, ali ne znam nista oko toga... Takodje mi se svidela ideja i paket radia ali ni oko toga nisam siguran. Pa me interesuje da li bi neko mogao da mi odgovori na neka kjucna pitanja: 1.Sta mi je SVE potrebno da bi se bio radio amater(oprema,znanje,dozvole)? 2.Koliko kosta oprema i gde moze da se nabavi(bitne su mi cene ovde i napolju)? 3.Interesantan mi je PR ali sam cuo da JAKO sporo, pa me interesuje kolika je stvarna brzina u okvitu Yu i ostalih zemalja. 4.Koliko kosta modema za PR i koji mi model preporucujete za pocetak.(brzina) 5.Kakva je razlika u radio stanicama(cuo sam da se cena krece od 100 do 700dm) i koju mi preporucujete za pocetak. 6.Da li bi programi za PR radili na mom copm.(intel Pentium100)zato sto su dosta stari(tako sma cuo ) :) 7.Kako radio amateri uspostavljaju vezu sa udaljenim lokacijama(npr.Engleska, Amerika i sl.), da li postoje repetitori ili sta vec??? 8.Da li postoje neke novine koje se bave radiom ili neka dobra knjiga. ako neko ima neka mi posalje neki tekst ili uputstvo na ovu temu (na srpskom jeziku posto engleski tek ucim pa dosta ne razumem :)) Ako bi neko mogao da mi odgovori na ovo bio bih mu zahvalan. Sigurno sam dosta(u pitanjima)propustio pa ako ima jos kljucih stvari neko neko napomene i objasni. :) P.S. Odgovore moze na mail ili ovde posto bi jos mnogim korisnicima bili korisni odgovori na ova pitanja

ham-radio.41 sljubisic,
>> 3.Interesantan mi je PR ali sam cuo da JAKO sporo, pa me >> interesuje kolika je > Brzina je svega 1200. Tacno, brzina je zaista toliko niska, ali samo na onom 'korisnickom' nivou, mada se linkvi izmedju pojedinih nodova povezuju i na vecim brzinama (recimo 9600 po G3RUH modulaciji i sl.) Najveci problem je u propusnoj moci audio spektra koji je na raspola- ganju u klasicnim radio uredjajima (stanicama) koje se nalaze u komer- cijalnoj prodaji: predvidjen je da propusti samo audio spektar ljudskog glasa (odprilike 300-3000 Hz) i to je sve. U pojedinim uredjajima to je cak i manje. Kako audio spektar mora biti barem 2 puta veci od maksimalne brzine kojom se prenose podaci (odn. za 1200 bps treba barem 2400 Hz), to je ta brzina fiksirana na 1200 bps kako bi se sam packet-radio sto je to moguce vise omasovio. Upotrebom novijih radio uredjaja koji na sebi imaju poseban ulaz (RJ-11, kao na Panasonikovim telefonima i sl.) i kod kojih pise 9600 ready, moze se ici i na toj brzini. Sa posebnim predajnicima moze se ici i daleko vise, ali se vec radi o prilicno skupim uredjajima, koji vec polako izlaze iz domena amaterske upotrebe.

In the past few years, I have made expeditions to ZB2, 9H3, 5B4, GD and C6A. I have never submitted documentation for any of these expeditions to the DXCC Manager. Does this mean the cards sent for contacts with my DX-peditions are not valid for DXCC? I hope this is not what it means!

ham-radio.43 pifat,
Jutros sam pogledao i ukoričeni komplet Radio-amatera za 1989. i tamo piše da se dnevnici za IARU HF Championship šalju na adresu ARRL, dakle: IARU HF Championship ARRL 225 Main Street Newington CT 06111 U.S.A. Inače, u ovogodišnjem kontestu je radila i stanica YU0HQ sa još jedanaest stanica. Koliko sam čuo, naša ekipa u World Radiosport Championship Contestu je prošla kao bos po trnju (mislim da su bili 39. ili tako nešto), a delimičan problem je bio i njihov kontrolor K3ZO, koji je Raši Lazareviću poništio izvestan broj veza. Razlog se, navodno, krije u tome da je K3ZO primetno slabiji telegrafista od Raše, odnosno slabije prima od njega, i kada je Raša radio brzinama preko 150 znakova u minutu, dvadesetak puta je našoj ekipi brisao veze zbog, , po K3ZO, nepravilnog prijema, a verovatnije je da je bilo obrnuto, HI! Amerikanci su bili daleko najbolji, i na prvih 14 mesta su njihove ekipe. Ekipe su radile sa zapadne obale SAD, sa približno istom opermom, tj. transiverom od 100 vati, troelementnim bimom za 14, 21 i 28 i žicama za niže opsege.
ham-radio.44 pifat,
>1.Sta mi je SVE potrebno da bi se bio radio amater(oprema,znanje,dozvole)? Pre svega dobra volja, znanje na nivou srednje skole, odslusan kurs za radio-amaterskog operatora klase C, E ili F i potom polozen ispit pred komisijom Saveza radio-amatera. O opremi ces razmisljati tek po polozenom ispitu. Za pripremu ispita postoji Prirucnik, koji je napisao Djordje Stojanovic, a isti se moze nabaviti preko Saveza radio-amatera (raspitaj se i u zrenjaninskom radio-klubu, mozda i oni imaju neki primerak na prodaju). Po polozenom ispitu, dobices diplomu i od Ministarstva za saobracaj i veze zatraziti da ti izdaju ovlascenje za rad na amaterskim radio-stanicama (to je nekakav ekvivalent vozackoj dozvoli za motorna vozila). Potom, od istog Ministarstva trazis dozvolu za nabavku radio-uredjaja i dobijas pozivni znak. >2.Koliko kosta oprema i gde moze da se nabavi(bitne su mi cene ovde i napolju)? UKT stanice kostaju od 300 DEM navise, a ovde su uredjaji u principu dosta skuplji, i cesto nemaju odgovarajuce papire koji su ti posle potrebni pri registraciji uredjaja. Uredjaji se sada najcesce kupuju u Singapuru, a kako su malih dimenzija, lako se unose u zemlju bez carinskog pregleda. Na srecu, kod registracije uredjaja vazi i originalni racun, dakle mozes proci i bez carinske deklaracije. Uredjaji za KT su mnogo skuplji, od 1.500 DEM navise. Za sada nema zvanicnih uvoznika opreme, a i kada bi ih bilo, carina i porez na njih iznose preko 60%. >3.Interesantan mi je PR ali sam cuo da JAKO sporo, pa me interesuje kolika je stvarna brzina u okvitu Yu i ostalih zemalja. Na ovo si vec dobio dva dosta precizna odgovora, a sljubisic je daleko upuceniji u ovu materiju od mene :))) >4.Koliko kosta modema za PR i koji mi model preporucujete za pocetak.(brzina) Cene modema su vrlo razlicite, od 50 DEM do 300 DEM i vise. Ne bih znao da ti preporucim neki konkretan model. Inace, za PR na UKT ti treba bar amaterska D klasa, pa ces imati dovoljno vremena za odluku o nabavci. >5.Kakva je razlika u radio stanicama(cuo sam da se cena krece od 100 do 700dm) i koju mi preporucujete za pocetak. Razlika se ogleda u njihovoj snazi (od 1 do 100 vati ili vise), radio amaterskim opsezima koje pokrivaju (KT, UKT ili kombinacija), komforu koji pruzaju u radu, da li su prenosne, mobilne (za ugradnju u auto) ili stacionarne, da li rade na baterije, na 220 V ili na 12 V preko ispravljaca... Nezahvalno je preporucivati, ali Icom IC-2E i njegovi mnogobrojni klonovi (prakticno istovetan uredjaj, ali sa markicom razlicitih firmi) vec petnaestak godina veoma pouzdano rade u najgorim mogucim uslovima upotrebe. Taj uredjaj kosta (tj. klonovi) oko 300-400 maraka u inostranstvu, na sebi ima samo najosnovnije komande (bez memorija, stotina programabilnih funkcija i drugih bisera savremene tehnologije), ali i sa njim se ostvaruje ono najbitnije, dakle VEZA. >6.Da li bi programi za PR radili na mom copm.(intel Pentium100)zato sto su dosta stari(tako sma cuo ) :) Radice, zasto da ne ? >7.Kako radio amateri uspostavljaju vezu sa udaljenim lokacijama(npr.Engleska, Amerika i sl.), da li postoje repetitori ili sta vec??? Na KT nema posebnih prepreka, jer sama priroda prostiranja KT talasa je takva da oni u dva ili tri skoka prebace okean, i zato na KT (naravno u zavisnosti od frekvencije, doba dana, godine i Sunceve aktivnosti) mozes uraditi vezu sa ma kom tackom na zemaljskoj kugli. UKT talasi se prostiru pravolinijski, dakle do horizonta, i samo u izuzetnim uslovima imaju domet veci od recimo 200-300 km. Naravno, domet se moze povecati upotrebom usmerenih antena i pojacala snage. Zato se na visokim kotama postavljaju repetitori, koji i stanicama sa manjom snagom i losijim antenama omogucuju dalje veze. Za PR postoje posebni repetitori (digipiteri), koji sluze samo za prenos podataka sa PR mreze. Kako su digipiteri povezani medju sobom, ako si dovoljno strpljiv, i ako ti mogucnosti sistema (njegova opterecenost) dopustaju, teoretski bi se mogao na UKT povezati sa ma kojom stanicom u PR mrezi. U stvarnosti to svakako nije moguce on-line, ali poruka koju posaljes veoma brzo stize do tvog sagovornika. Brzi i laksi prekookeanski prenos PR poruka omogucen je preko gateway-a, odnosno KT stanica koje medju sobom prenose PR poruke na veca rastojanja. Ovo je i uobicajeni nacin za prenos PR poruka izmedju kontinenata. >8.Da li postoje neke novine koje se bave radiom ili neka dobra knjiga. ako neko ima neka mi posalje neki tekst ili uputstvo na ovu temu (na srpskom jeziku posto engleski tek ucim pa dosta ne razumem :)) Izbor literature na srpskom je vrlo skroman, odnosno skoro nije izasla nijedna knjiga koja bi podrobnije pokrila PR. Svojevremena Biblija za YU amatere, knjiga dr Boze Metzgera, je poslednji put inovirana pre desetak godina, pa i ne pokriva PR. Za antene postoji pristojan prevod Rothamelovih "Antena" koji je izdao Vojnoizdavacki zavod jos 1983., a poneki primerak je skoro vidjen u VIZ-ovoj knjizari u Vasinoj ulici u Beogradu, po ceni od 80 dinara. Savez radio-amatera Jugoslavije izdaje casopis "Radio", koji izlazi dvomesecno, ali sada prilicno malo mesta poklanja konkretnom operatorskom radu. Naravno, prvo procitaj umetak iz Racunara 106 pod nazivom "A zasto ne telefonom ?", koji je bas posvecen paket radiju.

ham-radio.56 sljubisic,
>> G-GOLF >Zar nije GULF kao zaliv? Hm, moguce da se u nekom americkom vojnom spelovanju sada (nakon Pustinj- ske Oluje) tako speluje, ali je zvanicno Golf. Nekada se upotrebljavalo i Guatemala, ali su zakljucili da je mnogo dugacko, pa se Golf nametnuo sam po sebi :) Amerikanci (u svojim lokalnim vezama) u skladu sa svojim propisima G speluju sa 'George', dok nemci recimo upotrebljavaju 'Gustav', a rusi 'Grigorij'. Za zivota SFRJ kod nas se G sricalo sa 'Gorica', dok je sada to 'Golija'. Ista sudbina zadesila je i 'D'ubrovnik, 'O'sijek, 'T'etovo i druge geo- grafske pojmove koji nisu u SRJ. Medjutim, i pored promene u tablici sricanja (kako se ona zvanicno zove) i dalje se moze cuti spelovanje sa 'LJ'ubljanom, 'M'ostarom i drugim pojmovima, vec po navici. Delim misljenje mnogih da je ipak najvaznije da se ljudi sporazumeju. Toliko o slovu 'G' :)

Sutra bi ARK "M.Pupin" YU1EXY trebalo da obiđe jedan američki novinar koji objavljuje članke u časopisima poput CQ i 73, pa ako ima zainteresovanih, navratite uveče oko 19 časova u sobu 340 u zgradi Tehničkih fakulteta (treći sprat, tačno preko puta lifta). Novinar se preziva Pataki, sećam se da sam čitao jednu njegovu reportažu o amaterima u Rumuniji, i znam da je sa istočne obale SAD (W2 land). 2608.zip

There are maybe many explanations and reasons to this BUT one thing is very clear. The official list of countries where CEPT is valid AND ARRL/DXCC approves the cards is the list published by ERO (European Radiocommunications Office) and that can be found in their Web server at URL http://www.ero.dk/Liaison/Doc/Tr6101e.doc (You may need some plug-ins like QVP to read the file) The main message there is that FO and FW are not in the list and that the list has there FR and the "Dependencies". (Permission to land!!!) Your CEPT license may say something different and in some countries it does but ARRL/DXCC does not approve FO and FW until ERO list has been changed. This I have understood from the discussion that I have had with ARRL. Asking the local authorities there has no validity unless they give you a written statement (license) that your operation was legitimate. The matter will be studied in detail during the coming month when holidays are over in France. The lesson: Your operation may be legal according to your CEPT license but not approved by ARRL/DXCC. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Veikko Komppa "Veke" Collecting licensing information via Internet MORE THAN DXCC AVAILABLE THRU The Web Licensing info in Web at http://www.clinet.fi/~jukka/license.html OH2MCN, ex OH5VD,OH2XD,CR9D,VK9YD,S79VD,FR0VD,3D2VD,9M8VD,5W1VD Internet: Veikko.Komppa@vtt.fi QTH: Paaskynkuja 7, FIN-03100, Nummela, Finland tel. +358-0-22 22 448 JOB: P.O.Box 1401, FIN-02044 VTT, Finland tel. +358-0-456 5260 fax. +358-0-456 7026 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: pauloher@nutecnet.com.br Date: Fri, 30 Aug 1996 00:44:31 GMT We, from ABRA-DX BRAZILIAN ASSOCIATION, have the pleasure to inform you, officially, that PT2GTI (Stuckert),PT2HF (Lunkes) and PT2NP (Paul), will be on Martin Vaz Is., after the first week of October.

However, when you want to retrieve a QSL manager, a DX address or some information on a given station, it is very tedious to search it across all the bullettins (the information you need may sometimes be located on an old bullettin). May I suggest you a couple of ways to greatly simplify the search (although I agree that these are quite obvious tricks)? Firstly store all the DXNEWS bulletin files in the same subdirectory (say C:\DXNEWS) and give all them the extension .TXT. Derive the file name from the bullettin number, in this way: 274.TXT, 275.TXT and so on (you will also be able to simultaneously search bullettins other than the 425 DXNEWS, provided you put them in the same directory and give them the extension .TXT). ------- METHOD #1 ------------ 1) Install the utility "4DOS" on your computer (I think the last version is the 5.52, which can be found on many Internet sites). 2) create, in the C:\DXNEWS directory, the following batch file (with a text editor): echo off cls ffind /t"%1" /m /l *.txt and give it the name LOOK.BAT. At this point, when you type (case insensitive) "LOOK" followed by a callsign, all bullettins existing in the C:\DXNEWS directory will be searched for that callsign. For instance, the text below was generated by typing "LOOK 9K2HN": ---- C:\dxnews\257.txt [49] active (on all bands, CW and SSB) from 9K2HN's QTH and hopes to be ---- C:\dxnews\258.txt [125] 9K5HN 9K2HN IU3V IK3VIA SN2B SP2FAX YM3DL DL4VBP ---- C:\dxnews\261.txt [19] 9K- Dave's (KA5TQF) [425DXN 257] and Hamad's (9K2HN) planned activity ---- C:\dxnews\266.txt [376] 9K5HN 9K2HN FO5PI F5OTZ PJ8/W9LNQ N9ALC WP4U AA3BG As you see, all the lines containing the word "9K2HN" are shown, together with the file name, and the row number in the file (in square brackets). If you need to expand, browse the file around the indicated line number. ------- METHOD #2 ------------ 1) Install the "Norton Utilities for DOS", which contain the file TS.EXE (Text Search). 2) create in the C:\DXNEWS directory the following batch file (with a text editor): echo off cls c:\nu\ts *.TXT %1 and give it the name LOOK.BAT (in the above example it was assumed that the file TS.EXE is located in directory C:\NU). At this point, when you type (case insensitive) "LOOK" followed by a callsign, all bullettins existing in the C:\DXNEWS directory will be searched for that callsign. Method #2 has the advantage that, for each match, a number of lines around the searched word are displayed, making it easier to retrieve information. ------- METHOD #3 ------------ Please propose it yourself... 73 to all Tony, I0JX e-mail: i0jx@amsat.org

SPECIAL NOTE FROM EDITOR: There will be no bulletin next week (September 9). I will be away for the weekend. Please keep sending your DX information. (You never know, I may put one together if I receive enough information before I leave.) 3V8, TUNISIA. Hans, DF2UU, and Win, DK9IP, will activate the station 3V8BB from September 11-17th. The main reason for this short trip is the participation in the WAE-SSB Contest (multi/single). Before and after the contest they will concentrate on the low bands paying special attention to contacts with NA and Asia on 160/80 meters. However, it is not yet sure if an amplifier for 160 meters will be available at that time. They will try to be active on RTTY as well. All contacts will be confirmed shortly after the trip via DK9IP regardless if your QSL arrives or not. Win states, "Please use the BUREAU for QSLing. There is absolutely no need to send QSLs direct, but if you can't help sending your card via mail please remember that Airmail postage fee from Germany to DX costs DM 3.00 which is abt. $2 or 1.5 IRCs." For direct QSLs: Win Kriegl DK9IP, Martin-Luther-Str. 11, D-76327 Pfinztal, Germany 9Q, REP. OF ZAIRE. Fernando, EA4BB, informs OPDX that he will be working as an architect in Zaire for 1 year starting September 9th. He has been issued the call 9Q5BB, and has already sent a copy of the license to the DXCC authority in Newington, CT. He was issued the same callsign back in 1994, when he remained in Goma for 3 months. This time he will be very near to the same spot, but at a place called Rwanguba. He will use his TS-50, some dipoles and delta loops. He will be active on all HF bands, CW and SSB. QSL via his home call or to the Spanish bureau. A35, TONGA (Update from Paul Kidd, A35RK). Paul reports that he has been off the air for the last two weeks while he was up in the Ha'apai Island Group, but he is back in Nuku'alofa now and is active on 40-15M CW/RTTY. Paul states in that 2-3 weeks he will be re-locating to Lifuka Island in Ha'apai. He has rented a house there 20 steps from the beach, and he should be active from there by October 1st. By the way, the Ha'apai Group is IOTA OC-169. He states he is still waiting for the Force 12 antenna "package", and it should be arriving there soon. This will enable him to get on 80-10 meters with a decent signal (being right on the "saltwater groundplane"). Other Tonga news (from Paul): The A3 buro situation is still unresolved. At present, there is still no functional bureau, but Paul will be meeting with the Director of Telecom again next week, so maybe they can make some progress. Some of the "hang-ups" are: What to do with all the cards received for the boot-leg A35 calls, who's going to pay for all the postage (and how) and finally "Who's going to be the buro manager?" Meanwhile, Father Kevin Burke (A35KB), who recently returned from a holiday in England, is now living on Eua Island. Father Kevin is not active from Eua yet, but he should be shortly. Paul will try to take a tri-band yagi over to him before he leaves for Ha'apai. Eua is about a 3 hour boat trip from Nuku'alofa, and is considered part of the Tongatapu Group (IOTA OC-049). Paul ends his message to OPDX by stating, "Life is good, fishing is good, and the people of Tonga are super. I'm VERY glad to be here! 73 for now Paul Kidd, A35RK." A4, OMAN. The DX News Sheet reports Tony, A45ZN, is active 4 to 5 nights a week on 160 and 80 meters with 400 watts and a trapped dipole. He does not have permission for 6 meters, but monitors 50110 kHz. He is still awaiting the outcome of his application for an experimental licence for 6 and 30 meters. C6, BAHAMAS. Fred, K9VV, will be active from Sugar Loaf Cay, September 13-22nd. He will be active in the WAE SSB Contest, as K9VV/C6A (or possibly a C6 callsign). QSL via CBA. INDIAN OCEAN DXPEDITION. Jon, EA2KL, and Luis, EA3ELM, will be on 3B8 (Mauritius), October 23-30th. Their activity includes operations in the CQWW SSB Contest, from 3B8CF's QTH. They also plan to be active from 3B9 (Rodriguez Island) from October 31st to November 5th, but this is subject to confirmation of licence. From November 6-12th, they will be on Reunion Island (FR) and will be active as FR/EA2KL and FR/EA3ELM. QSL via home calls. JOHN ALEXANDER, K6SVL SK. It is with great sorrow to report that K6SVL has become a silent key (SK) this past weekend. John served as DXAC Rep Southwestern Division and his present on the committee will surely be missed. Members of NODXA, NOARS and the contributors of the OPDXB send out our deep sympathy. JY8, JORDAN. Bob, WB9YXY, will once again be visiting friends in Jordan and reactivating his call sign JY8XY. He is expected to be active from October 1-20th and his operations will be on CW and SBB with activity on 80-10 meters (with the exception of the WARC bands). Like last year, emphasis will again be given to CW. He will have two stations available, both TS-830s; one with a TH6, low band antennas, and amp; the other at a different location with a TH3. The chances of getting an antenna erected for 160 meters are slim due to space limitations, but Bob will reevaluate the situation and if there is any way possible to get on the band, he will. Bob also states you may hear him operating from a neighboring country or two as well as he hopes to have time to visit some friends in the other regions. QSL (w/SASE) to home call WB9YXY and they will be answered immediately upon his return. LU6Z SOUTH ORKNEY DX OPERATION. OPDX InterNet Subscribers will receive an additional bulletin containing an article on the LU6Z operation. PJ9, BONAIRE (Netherlands Antilles). PJ9T will be a Multi/Single entry in the CQ WW SSB Contest, October 26-27th. Bonaire has an IOTA of SA-006. Operators will include AB4JI, K4ADK, KJ4VH, KU4J, N4OKX and WA4DPU. They will be signing PJ2/ before and after the contest October 19-29th (QSL via home call signs). QSL PJ9T via AB4JI. PY0, FERNANDO DE NORONHA. By the time you read this, Erik, SM0AGD, will be active as ZY0ZGD from the QTH of Andre, PY0FF. His operations will last approximately 10 days. His activities will be mainly CW on all bands as usual but with some RS-12 operations. QSL via his homecall at: Vestagatan 27, S-195 56 Marsta. ADDED NOTE (by John, SM0DJZ): The reason for Erik going to Fernando de Noronha is to make a rendezvous with Roger, SM3WCS/MM, on his attempt to set a new world-record for small boats going around the world WITHOUT making any stops what so ever. He started on August 1st from Falmouth in England and is going via PY0F/ZS/VK7/ZL/CE0/PY and back to England sometimes in May, 1997. His boat "Wifsta Office" is only 28 feet long, and you are invited to read all about him and his story in daily updated Web-pages on the following URL: http://www.connection.se/wifstaoffice/indexeng.htm Erik will go out from PY0F in a small boat and meet with Roger at sea and exchange video-tapes/photos/written material from the first part of the journey. Roger is also active around 14130 khz on several times during daytime. QSL/NEWS UPDATES.... Paul, PT2NP, reports that they are mailing the last QSL cards for the ZV0TI DXpedition to Trindade Island. Also, QSL cards for the ZW6C and ZX6C DXpedition to Coroa Vermelha Island will be mailed within two weeks...... Jack, K7EHI, states "Effective immediately, I am no longer the QSL manager for T32AF, T30A, T30BC or T32BC. Glenn, KH6UR, the T32AF operator, has not been active since May of 1994. His business schedule is such that he will not be active again in the foreseeable future. Henry, the operator for T30A, T30BC, and T32BC has been a silent key since July 1993...... QSLs for Ken V73C can go to N4GAK... V6, POHNPEI (Micronesia). Tosy, JA6VZB, be will active as V63BM from IOTA OC-010, September 2-10th. Activity will be on 160-10 meters including the WARC bands. Operations will be on SSB/CW/RTTY/SSTV. During his time there, Tosy will be a part-time entry in the All Asian Contest (Phone). QSL is only via bureau to JA6BSM. VK9X, CHRISTMAS ISLAND. Mark, 9V1AN/JJ1TBB (aka XV2A, VS6CT, JJ1TBB/BV2, and KA1NKS) will be visiting Christmas Island with his family from August 30th to September 8th. He has received the callsign VK9XB and will be operating on the following suggested frequencies: SSB - 14180 and 21280 kHz and CW - 7008, 14008/14028 and 21008/21028 kHz. He will be running 100 watts into full-sized wire antennas and an Outbacker vertical. QSL to JJ1TBB via the QSL Bureau or direct to: Mark Kawasaki JJ1TBB, 4-36-10 Kasuga, Nerima, Tokyo 179, Japan. UPCOMING ACTIVITY OF STATIONS which will participate in the 2nd Annual W/VE Island Contest, September 14-15th (Details of contest will be provided to OPDX InterNet Subscribers as an additional bulletin.). Don, KB5IQJ, will assume "rover" status during the upcoming contest and be active on the 14th from PA-05, 06, 04 and 01. On the 15th Don will be on PA-15, 02 and 17. Jim, KA3UNQ, will also "rover" in the contest from RI-03, 05, 06, 07 (they count for NA-31) then MA-03, 22 and 23. Jay, AE4MK, and gang will "rover" in the contest from DC and VA islands. VP9, BERMUDA. Steve, W4/YV5DTA, will be traveling to VP9 land to install something on the island September 8-11th. He claims he will have some spare time to operate if a VP9 ham will let him use their station for few of hours. ZL7PR PIRATE FROM CHATHAM ISLAND. W4FOA spoke with Jim, VK9NS, and he confirms that Peter, ZL7PR is indeed a pirate. This same operator has been known to use ZK3YA's callsign (a legitimate YL operator on ZK3), plus others including VR8B, etc. Jim is working with some ZL authorities in an effort to close this station down. Some of his operating habits include the use of "ere" for here, frequent use of "OC", works phantom DX stations - often some prefixes that no longer exist ie. UF6 etc). He also never gives any QSL info whereas ZK3YA always gives her name/QSL route and often tells she is a teacher on ZK for 3 more years. ZV0, TRINDADE & MARTIN VAZ ISLAND. Stuckert/PT2GTI, Lunkes/PT2HF and Paul/PT2NP from the ABRA-DX Brazilian Association, will be active after the first week of October on both SSB and CW. QSL info will be PT2DX, the callsign of ABRA (OK in CBA). The team already has been issued the callsigns ZV0MB and ZV0MV. The group will have one more meeting with Brazilian Navy Authorities to work out the final details for this DXpedition. They will carry the team by helicopter to the island, which is a big rock of about 130 meters high over Atlantic Ocean. It will be the first operation in the history of that island and the first time that somebody inhabited it. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- OPDX INTERNET SUBSCRIBE/UNSUBSCRIBE REQUEST: opdx-request@nshore.org OPDX WORLD-WIDE WEB HOME (provided by John, K8YSE): http://www.en.com/users/k8yse/opdx.html -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Excerpts and distribution of The OPDX Bulletin are granted as long as KB8NW/OPDX/BARF80 receive credit.

It is an Archipielago constituted by more than 40 islands and small barren islands with an estimated area of 1,000 KM2, located between the 60 and 61 S. parallel and the 44 and 47 W. meridian. The proximity of the Weddell sea is the origin of the congealment of the shores, being approachable only in summer time. Laurie Island is the second largest of the group and in a tiny plain area of the Uruguay Bay, between the Antarctic Ocean and the mountain picks, is located the "Base Orcadas" belonging to Argentine Republic, which is the very first expression of standing human life in the Antarctic. The official inauguration was in the 1904 summer and the first letters and postal cards were delivered by the "Correo Argentino". The LRT Station made the first radio-telegraphic communi- cation from the island to LIK station in the Ushuaia city in March 30th of 1927 using medium wave old fashioned devices according to those years. In the meanwhile, during April 1st. in 1940, who is today LU9DZ and GACW member, working in 14 MHz. and using an AM transmitter powered with 2 Kv. plate voltage, made the first radiotelephone communication with LU7ET in the outside of Buenos Aires city. CW Argentine Group and LU6Z Operation LU1DZ, Alberto U. SILVA, LU6EF, Raul M. DIAZ and LU7XP, Jorge F. VRSALOVICH are nowdays the responsibles for the operation of this Argentine group with more than 300 radio-operators members. The last operation was organized by this group in the Laurie Island LU6Z radio station between 5th December, 1995 to 26th February, 1996 with the logistic support of the National Antarctic Management and the Argentine Navy, and also with the cooperation of Argentine Air Force and Argentine Federal Police, and without any eco- nomical sources from the outside and without any help from any comercial firms of communications. With the exclusive motto in life, they are giving to the radio amateurs all over the world the chance of keep in touch with Antarctic radio countries. LU6Z reached the mark of 23.559 QSO's in 140 countries. This was made possible due to the available personal actitudes of its operators: Hector M. OMBRONI, LU6UO and Ernesto J. DURANTE, LU1ZPF. Dur- ing the installation of the antennas they confronted against temperatures. and severe weather conditions, and during the operation of the station fighted against several operative difficulties like propagation condi- tions, electromagnetic storms and the base traffic; everything together was the main reason to become 7 Mhz. the most frequent used Band. Hector, LU6UO and Ernie, LU1ZPF, those who were recently living a real adventure on the Laurie Island, started their account giv- ing us their impression about propagation, saying that the propagating condition in particular day, usually did not appear the following day, this is why on one hand in front of one Asia opened. On the other hand it was only for a short time and not often. They were desesperate when they could hear a lot of stations in the bands but they did not get any answer to their calls. They were earnestly seeking after the permanent sustained traffic in any band, in spite of their former Antarctic experiences, they had to develop different field work techniques, like band changes, aerial changes, etc., but none of these methods gave them a dull moment under the DX world pressure, they only could give the best part of themselves, staying the most time in activity. In one of those tentative plans to improve the avail- able power, Hector put two new tubes in the FL1000Z amplifier and after some working hours, the new tubes exploded ! ! !..., so they had to go back to the old tubes. They have several anecdotes, about how they used to sleep on the ship floor, cause it was too crowded, they also had to take part of the base staff, working as underloaders of the ship and also had to do another logistic task for survival during their stay in the island. They saved the good climate period doing outdoor activi- ties like locating in due place the directional and installing between others dipoles and wires a Hertz Zepp. aerial at the top of 30 meters high towers. Draft Notes Antennas: Walmar 3340 a 3 rotary elements for 20-15-10 meters and 1 element for 40 meter. Hertz Zepp. and 40 m. full wave Delta loop antennas with Swan tunner and Long Wire with home brew T tunner. 20 m. band slooper also. Tranceivers: Yaesu FT101ZD and ICOM IC726 with Autek audio filter. Yaesu FL1000Z and 2 x 813 grounded grid home made Kw. amplifiers. Two 30 meters high towers of the Base were used for wire and beam antennas. Bencher paddles with Autek memory and home made keyers give commfortable and smoth operation. Their were transported in a five days trip by the Argen- tine Navy Icebreaker Ship Almirante Irizar in his way to different places in the Antarctic continent. The 10 watts radio beacon on 28.211 Khz. with a vertical ground plane received several reports from South America stations. The MIR space ship was connected in 2 m. VHF band with 40 Watts and vertical antenna. 65 SSB and CW Qsos with Lus and LZ0A in South Shetland Is. were made using the RS12 satelite, up link on 21.220 khz. and down link in 29.420 khz Others DX operations and expeditions supported by the GACW 1977 - LU3ZY - South Sandwich Island - (Thule Is.) 2.500 CW QSOs - IOTA AN009 1979 - LU7X - Staten Island - DXCC Argentina - 7.100 CW/SSB QSOs - IOTA SA049 1982 - L8D/X - Staten Island - DXCC Argentina - 6.900 CW/SSB QSOs - IOTA SA049 1983 - LU3ZI - South Shetland Island - (25 de Mayo Is. - King George Is) 20.125 CW and SSB QSOs - IOTA AN010 1985 - LU6UO/Z - Marambio Island (Seymour Is.) - 2.400 CW QSOs - DXCC Antarctic - IOTA AN013 1986 - LU5EBV/Z - Marambio Island (Seymour Is.) - 2.500 CW QSOs - DXCC Antarctic - IOTA AN013 1987 - LU6UO/Z - Marambio Island (Seymour Is.) - DXCC Antarctic - IOTA AN013 and South Shetland Island - (25 de Mayo Is. - King George Is.) 10.600 CW/SSB QSOs - IOTA AN010 CW Argentine Group - Box 9 - 1875 Wilde - Buenos Aires - ARGENTINA -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Date: Tue, 27 Aug 1996 18:52:47 -0700 Message-Id: <199608280152.SAA08836@oneworld.owt.com> X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Version 1.4.4 Mime-Version: 1.0 To: kb8nw@barf80.nshore.org From: nl7tb@owt.com (John Reisenauer) Subject: 2nd Annual W/VE Island Contest SECOND ANNUAL AMERICAN and CANADIAN ISLANDS CONTEST Sponsored by the US Islands Awards Program (USI) OBJECT: Work as many American and Canadian islands on HF as possible.

ham-radio.70 sljubisic,
U nedelju, 1. Septembra ove godine, na potezu od Usca do Lida, a oko Veli- kog Ratnog ostrva odrzan je Medjunarodni plivacki maraton, drugi po redu koji se odrzava u nasoj zemlji. Od stranih ucesnika dosli su plivaci iz Slovenije, Makedonije i Egipta, dok se Bugari nisu pojavili. Start trke je bio iza Hotela Jugoslavija, pa zatim nizvodno do Usca, onda uzvodno oko Ratnog ostrva do Lida, i onda ponovo nizvodno do Hotela Jugoslavije. Jedan 'krug' je bio skoro 7 kilometara, plivala su se tri kruga u ukupnoj duzini od oko 20,5 Km. Radio amaterski klub YU1AZK iz Zeleznika je sa svojih 30-tak clanova i prijatelja kluba, imao potpuno pokrivanje sa radio-vezom svih plovnih ob- jekata koji su bili u funkciji pracenja maratona: camci u kojima su se nalazili treneri plivaca i sudije (koji su takodje bili sami amateri :) zatim camci Vojske Jugoslavije koja je priskakala u pomoc kada bi se neki od camaca pokvario ili nasukao, glisera Milicije koji je rasklanjao peca- rose i kajakase, kao i ono sto je najvaznije, camaca u kojima su se nalazi- li lekari koji su bili spremni da pruze pomoc u svakom trenutku. I pored kise koja je na momente padala, otkazivanja motora, nasukavanja camaca, odustajanja takmicara usled povrede ili iznemoglosti, sve je uz upotrebu radio veze resavano ekspresno i proslo u najboljem mogucem redu. Sa rucnim radio uredjajem u svakom camcu i stacionarnim uredjajem na obali opremljenim jednom Slim-Jim antenom (kao i vise uredjaja koji su bili u pripravnosti kao rezervni :) amateri su jos jednom dokazali da su sposobni i voljni da pomognu u organizaciji manifestacija ove vrste.

ham-radio.72 pifat,
From: Antonio Vernucci <mc6046@mclink.it> Subject: Free Ham Radio Software This is to inform you that a set of Windows programs called ClusterMaster (ver. 4.20), RigMaster (ver. 5.03d) and RigMate (ver. 1.03e) may be freely downloaded on Internet, with the following command: ftp://ftp.winsite.com/pub/pc/win3/misc/i0jx.zip These are full freeware programs, not shareware demos. They are intended for PacketCluster operations and for rig control (Kenwood, ICOM) via RS-232 interface. Automatic installation program is bundled. Neither will they pollute your hard disk, nor will they modify WIN.INI or SYSTEM.INI (easy removal if you don't like). They are 16-bit programs, but operate regularly with Windows 95. Main features are: - separate PacketCluster windows for your own traffic, and for general traffic in monitor mode (be sure to properly set the TNC parameters, see help file; - voice spelling of incoming DX spots (requires audio card, e.g. SoundBlaster); - full two-way integration between PacketCluster and rig control, via Windows DDE; - elaborated DXCC countries data base and personal records management. Alert sound for unconfirmed countries in the various bands/modes; - automatic antenna pointing to DX country (requires Kansas City Tracker board, or equivalent); - integrated access to BuckMaster HamCall CD-ROM (other CD-ROMs may also be managed in future program releases); - automatic antenna SWR graphic plot (only for Kenwood rigs, based on internal SWR meter readings) - automatic antenna gain graphic polar plot (only for Kenwood rigs, based on S-meter readings while you rotate your antenna on a steady beacon signal); - sophisticated BC stations graphic data base for SWLs; - comprehensive help files, and brief command summary file (both English and Italian); - many more. Programs will operate on any reasonably equipped modern PC (386 and up). Two free serial ports (one for TNC, one for rig control) must be available to enjoy all programs features; this implies having three serial ports (the third one is for the mouse) working on different IRQs. Once you have de-zipped file I0JX.ZIP, read text file README.1ST (English) or LEGGIMI.ORA (Italian). Programs development started in 1993, so they should be now quite well debugged. They are free for radio amateurs use; no contributions are either required or accepted. See disclaimer in help files.

Ja sam juče samo pomalo slušao, i uradio tek nekih petnaestak veza, sedeći sa društvom na lokaciji YU1EXY na studentskom domu Karaburma. Sudeći po onome što su drugi rekli, izgleda da propagacije nisu bile previše dobre. Sada je broj potencijalnih stanica znatno manji, pa se i skor od trista veza može smatrati dobrim. Bilo je svega nekoliko brojnijih ekipa na višim kotama (4N1S na Maljenu, 4N1A na Mačkovom kamenu) sa dosta jakim signalima. Od Milenka YU1IO sam čuo da je radio jednu rumunsku stanicu iz Konstance, iz polja KN44. Bilo je, po običaju, dosta preširokih signala (prepobuđeni izlazni stepeni i mikrofonska pojačanja odvrnuta "do daske"), ali to je veoma uobičajena pojava.

Nesto malo utisaka o septembarskom takmi~enju od strane Miletea, YU1ADN. Elem, YU1ADN obi~no izlazi na Go~ - ku}ica TV repetitora. To je jedna solidno zidana lokacija sa mre`nim napajanjem ({to se ovoga puta, pokazalo kao vrlo bitan elemenat :) ). Do same lokacije se mo`e sti}i kolima (}to je jo{ jedan plus). Samo takmi~enje je za razliku od predhodnih godina pra}eno je sa vrlo, vrlo lo{im vremenskim prilikama {to je imalo odraz na op{ti utisak o celom toku takmi~enja. Kada je po~ela da pada ki{a i da duva vetar u subotu, ~inilo se da jo{ samo sneg nedostaje (Miletov komentar :) ). Takvo vreme je odvratilo i nateralo Leskov~ane, Piro}ance i Jagodince koji su ve} tokom petka iza{li da se vrate i prate takmi~enje sa svojih ku}nih lokacija. Naravno jedna el. grejalica je po{teno odradila svoj posao. [to se samog takmi~enja ti~e tokom no}i subota na nedelju kada ima najvi{e DX ova i onih lepih veza ove godine je to bilo prose~no da bi tokom samog jutra oko 5-6 sati band postao potpuno zatvoren za DX rad. To se zadr`alo tokom dana. YU1ADN je uradio oko 90 veza a sa onim slu{anim stanicama moglo je se nakupiti oko 180 veza (Miletova procena). Za razliku od julskog takmi~ena (Tesla memorijal) ovog puta je bilo vi{e YU1 i YU7 stanica {to je dosta interesantan podatak :) Za novembarsko takmienje YU1ADN je QRV na 70cm, 23cm a mo`da i na 13cm ako sve bude po planu. Toliko ovoga puta i pozdrav od Mileta YU1ADN i do slu{ana u oktobarskom UHF/SHF takmi~enju. slobodan (ex yu1qgl)

Date: Fri, 13 Sep 1996 07:32:27 -0800 From: Chuck Vaughn <aa6g@aa6g.org> Subject: Northern California DX Club 50th Anniversary Hi All, I'm pleased to make the following announcement on behalf of the Northern Califronia DX Club. ----------------------------------------------------------------- NCDXC 50th Anniversary Celebration On October 10, 1996 the Northern California DX Club will celebrate its 50th anniversary. The anniversary day will be the kick-off for a year of on-the-air events for NCDXC members and DX stations. Activities for DX Stations There will be an award given to any DX station who submits a log showing contacts with 50 different NCDXC members during the anniversary year. QSL cards will not be required. A contact with the NCDXC club callsign, W6TI, will count as ten QSOs towards the 50 required. The W6TI club callsign will be activated throughout the year by various club members. Members will be making an effort to work DX stations during the time they are using the callsign. Club members may choose to sign /NCDXC or /50 after their home callsigns to help identify themselves as club members. A certificate commemorating the NCDXC 50th Anniversary will be sent to those stations qualifying. The usual log information (Date, Time, Station worked & Band) should be included with the submission. Submissions should be sent to the club address as follows: Northern California DX Club P.O. Box 608 Menlo Park, California 94026-0608 USA Awards will be mailed out at the completion of the anniversary year- Oct. 10, 1997. Spreading the Word If you are the editor of a DX bulletin or club newsletter outside the U.S., please consider putting this information in your publication. We'd like for as many DX stations as possible to find out about our anniversary. Miscellaneous A 50th Anniversary web page has been set up. The information contained in this announcement and more is located at: http://www.aa6g.org/ncdxc50.html. Updates will be made throughout the year. There is a link on the "Activites for DX Stations" page to the NCDXC club roster. This may be used as a reference to distinguish contacts with NCDXC members from other California stations. A text version of the roster is downloadable from the page. QSL cards for contacts with the W6TI club callsign should go to the club address with a self addressed envelope and applicable return postage or sent via the bureau. Please e-mail questions or comments to: aa6g@aa6g.org We hope you'll consider participating in our celebration. 73 & GL, Chuck - AA6G <aa6g@aa6g.org> From: Stephen Thompson <thommo@sunbeach.net> Subject: 8P6CV's new E-mail address Date: Sat, 14 Sep 1996 11:00:51 -0400 Hi Everyone I have changed Internet providers.

Thanks to the continuing efforts of several dedicated members of the DX community, the door to amateur radio in the Union of Myanmar has been re-opened! The stage is now set for a well organized, large-scale operation by members of the Central Arizona DX Association from November 16 - 25, 1996. This will be an all-mode operation and will even feature a special event station during the official opening ceremonies of "Visit Myanmar Year, 1996." Participants to be: AB6ZV, AA7WP, JA1BK, K5VT, KC5AYR, N6BT, WA6CDR, KF7AY, N7NG, N7WTU, NZ7E, OH2BH, WA7LNW and WY7K. Each operator brings unique skills to make this operation top notch. This activity has the approval of the Myanmar government at the highest levels and will conclude with a special multi-multi entry in the CQ World-Wide CW DX Contest. This week of intense activity from this extremely rare location will be a wonderful opportunity for everyone to work XZ in many ways! The crew will operate three Yaesu FT-1000MP's plus Alpha linears to monoband yagis at above 80 feet and various special low band antennas from the New World Inya Lake Hotel on the outskirts of the capital city of Yangon (96 deg 17 min E 16 deg 78 min N) formerly known as Rangoon. The main mode of operation will be CW, but there will also be extensive RTTY and SSB activity. Look for this team on the usual DX calling frequencies. There will be a special emphasis on the low bands by AB6ZV and N6BT and every effort will be made to work the sunrise and/or sunset terminator as it passes through regions where propagation is supported. This will also be one of the very few times that RTTY has been offered from XZ. On this mode, XZ1N will be found around the low end of the RTTY segment of each band, listening up 1 to 6 KHz. For more detailed information, you are invited to visit the XZ1N Internet web site located at http://www.getnet.com/~kf7ay/myanmar.html Once the operation has begun, N7RK, the Central Arizona DX Association Webmaster, will post frequent updates to this web site with observations by team members about propagation and best times to work them from different areas. A unique aspect of this operation will be that bureau QSLs can be requested in two ways: the usual method, routed as "XZ1N via W1XT" and via the Internet by sending e-mail to xz1n@qrz.com. For a quicker reply, direct requests with a return envelope and sufficient postage are encouraged and should go to W1XT at PO Box 17108, Fountain Hills, AZ 85269, USA. Because of the time needed to print QSLs, the mailing of XZ1N cards will begin in late January or early February. After that, W1XT has promised a quick turnaround. Bureau cards will be sent out at least twice monthly. The propagation predictions listed below may be useful, but it should be remembered that these are only broad generalizations based on the combined best estimates of several of the leading programs. Actual propagation to Myanmar during this time of year may differ significantly on a day-to-day basis. This is not a listing as to when XZ1N will be on these bands, but only a suggestion as to when propagation may be supported. All three stations will simultaneously be on different bands. Region Frequencies Approximate Best Times (GMT) N. America 21 and 18-Mhz 2230 - 0100 (mostly W6 & W7) 14-Mhz 1330 - 0200 10 and 7-Mhz 1100 - 0100 ( best bands overall ) 3.5 and 1.8-Mhz Local sunrise at N. America.

ham-radio.92 sljubisic,
Subj: Proslava Svetskog Dana Radio-amatera Kao sto mnogi znaju, 22 Septembar je svetski dan radio-amatera, koji je ove godine proslavljen i kod nas, u Beogradu, preciznije u Kosutnjaku u sportsko-rekreativnom centru 'Pionirski grad'. Ovaj se praznik kod americkih radio-amatera (kojih ima koliko i svih ostalih u svetu zajedno :) naziva i 'field day' - dan kad amateri izlaze u prirodu i 'rade na baterije' i ostale 'alternativne' :) izvore struje, pa je tako i danas bilo moguce videti sve moguce i nemoguce vrste mobilnih i rucnih uredjaja, od onih prastarih sa brusenim kristalima, preko legendarnih 'noktasica' do najmodernijih tri-band mikroprocesorskih uredjaja. 'Dezurna' UKT stanica je bila YU0SRJ, koja je slusala na R6 (4N1VBG) kao i na S22 simpleksu, i pomagala gostima kojih je bilo iz svih delova nase zemlje (od Horgosa do Herceg Novog), da lakse nadju put do Pionirskog grada. Nekoliko puta je morala biti potezana i mapa Beograda :), ali su ipak svi gosti stigli na pravo mesto i na vreme O:) Zvanicni deo je otvorio, i vodio ceo program, nas kolega iz Radio Beo- grada, radio-amater, Miladin Manojlovic YT1RJ, koji je prisutne upoznao sa kratkim istorijatom radio-amaterskog pokreta kod nas, a i u svetu. Ukratko, na ovim nasim prostorima sve pocinje 1924. godine, kada izlazi pr- vi broj casopisa Radio-Telegraf-Telefon, i kada se formira drustvo 'Radio'. Odmah posle II sv. rata, 1946, oformljen je SRJ (Savez Radio-ama- tera Jugoslavije), da bi na svojoj drugoj izlozbi, deset godina kasnije, prikupio preko 20.000 posetilaca. Danas, SRJ broji preko 150 klubova, sa oko 30.000 clanova od kojih preko 4.000 sa medjunardno licenciranim dozvo- lama za rad. Po poslednjoj evidenciji, amateri poseduju oko 10.000 najraz- licitijih, sto KT sto UKT uredjaja, od kojih preko su preko 90% vrlo savre- meni. Okupljene, medju kojima je osim amatera bilo i vise zvanicnih lica Vojske Jugoslavije i Ministarstva Unutrasnjih poslova, je zatim pozdravio predse- dnik Saveza - Hrane YT1AD, koji je podneo referat o dosadasnjem radu Sa- veza kao i o planovima za buducnost. Jedna od najznacajnijih novosti je da ce Savez uz pomoc VJ dobiti nove prostorije, koje bi trebalo da budu vece i da pruze bolje uslove za rad. U toku prepodneva je zapoceo 'Radio-amaterski viseboj', gde su se amateri takmicili u vise disciplina, od kojih je najzanimljivija bila radio-goni- ometrisanje, odnosno kako se to popularno zove 'lov na lisicu'. Iako vreme i nije bas bilo naklonjeno, vise klubova je prijavilo svoje ekipe koje su pokusavale da pronadju tri skrivene lisice, locirane negde na Kosutnjaku i okolini. U okviru manifestacije bio je organizovan i kraci umetnicki program kojeg je izvelo kulturno umetnicko drustvo 'Dimitrije Koturovic' iz Rakovice. Takodje, sve vreme je trajala i radio-amaterska izlozba na kojoj se moglo videti koliko su uredjaji uznapredovali od vremena od kada postoji ovaj pokret. Autori postavke su bili: - Radio-klub "Novi Beograd", sekcija "Kozara", YU1AAV - Radio-klub "Nikola Tesla", Beograd, YU1AHI - Casopis "Radio" (negdasnji "Radio-amater") Postavku su pripomogli: - Pokaznom KT radio-stanicom, RK "Radnik", YU1ABC, Rakovica - Pokaznom UKT radio-stanicom, RK "Zeleznik", YU1AZK, Zeleznik - Pokaznom Packet-radio stanicom, Sima Mraovic YT1SM (DATA-COM menadzer SRJ) - Kao i Slobodan Suvarcarev ("Kobac") YU7HI sa svojim radio-amaterskim 'kupujem-prodajem' vasarom, gde je mnogo stanica (i to bez poreza :) promenilo vlasnika. Manifestacija je zavresena proglasenjem pobednika i hamfest-ruckom (na koga je bilo prituzbi da je bio prilicno 'tanak' :), uz opsti utisak da bi bilo lepo da se iduce godine na istom (ili nekom drugom) mestu okupi jos vise zaljubljenika u radio-talase, i da nas vreme malo bolje posluzi.

Look for XX9X on variety of frequencies. The antennas were taken down at VR2BH which located at one of the highest hilltops in Hong Kong. The station was not seriously activated because of Martti's extensive travelling in the region. For three-year period, Martti scored about 75 percent of his time out of Hong Kong. It was quite demanding for the rest of the family but they well succeeded and Petri, OH2KNB/VR2EW completed his basic education in the Hong Kong German School. While the containers are heading back to their native Finland, some interesting activities will still be in the schedule during next two months. Please watch for some further announcements. Martti will be Seoul, Korea and Singapore based until the end of November and then getting re-organized at OH2BH. In spite of these low sunspot years, tens of thousands QSOs were made along the ashorelines of South China Sea. While many valuable friendships developed among the hams in the region, also three new DXCC countries were created to the holy list. BV9P, BS7H and P5-land will soon get the follow-up activities now that the ink has dried in a new DXCC-list! Also the permanent establishment of amateur radio in the Union of Maynmar will be soon celebrated through the November XZ1N operation.

In 1995-96 the IOTA Committee has also carried out a pilot exercise to check the actual practicality of the proposal. The RSGB IOTA Committee has now decided to implement the proposal on a permanent basis. The validation procedure requires that island operators from unnumbered IOTA groups should provide satisfactory evidence in support of their activities. An operator should therefore provide evidence that he/she was physically on the island, holds a licence and, where requested, a specific landind and/or operating permit. Until evidence is provided, an operation falls into a "provisionally accepted" category. If evidence is not provided within four months of the completion of the operation, the activity may be downgraded to a "long term pending" category. Checkpoints cannot accept for credit QSL cards submitted for operations falling into the two categories. The same procedure also applies to operations that take place from numbered "rare" and "difficult" islands/groups (ie. those islands/groups that respectively are needed by at least 90% of the current IOTA members and are known to have restrictions on landing or operationg amateur radio). For further details on the validation procedure please refert to the RSGB IOTA Directory and Yearbook, available from RSGB IOTA Programme, P.O.Box 9, Potters Bar, Herts EN6 3RH, England (@ GBP 9.95 or $15 postpaid, credit cards accepted). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> IOTA REFERENCE NUMBERS ISSUED IN SEPTEMBER <<< AF-076 5N4 GULF OF GUINEA group (NIGERIAN islands, letter "b"), issued (provisionally and subject to further validation of the operation) following 5N4ALE's activity from Bonny Island. NOTE ---> With reference to 5N4ALE's activity from Bonny Island, the IOTA Committee reported that "doubts have been raised as to whether the 5N4ALE operation was land-based. The IOTA Committee will wish to resolve this matter satisfactorily before confirming the provisional number issued. Also there appear to be problems with the QSL cards. Some amateurs have sent cards to the old manager DJ2VZ. Information from Germany indicates that DJ2VZ is QSLing but does not have any logs. Such cards would not be accepted for IOTA. A decision on cards received direct or from DJ0KN will be made later".

From: ann@ifn.ing.tu-bs.de Subject: YK0B non-activity report by DL1SEB Hello to all who looked for YK0B in vain, today there is a report by Elia, DL1SEB, organizer and participant of the trip to YK in our packet network, which is written in German. I don't want to give a full translation of the whole text, which is full of accusations and offences against Omar, YK1AO. The group of 25 German OMs and YLs could not become QRV when they were in Syria. Elia says that Omar was to be given ham equipment worth 7000$ as a gift but he asked for a satellite station in addition. This request was rejected by the group, leading to threats by Omar to disturb the planned activities. He finally succeeded in not letting the group become QRV. Omar had been in Friedrichshafen (Ham Radio fair) in June this year and, according to Elia, he had been given free flight tickets, free accomodation and food for one week. DL1SEB expresses his deep anger about the ingratitude of Omar, YK1AO. Elia says that they will continue their efforts to activate arabian countries but they will try it the official ways rather than rely on false friends. That's a summary of the report by Elia, DL1SEB on the YK0B non-activity. 73!

Well, I have no complaints about Omar (YK1AO). I have worked him on various bands and he has always sent me a prompt QSL. I think this German group are too often complaining about other operators in DX locations. First it was complaints about the YU guys in 3V8 "not operating in acordance with the licence". Now this complaint about YK1AO. Hmmm! Sometimes I wonder if they are just jealous because they didn't get all the glory! 73 de G3NYY -- Walt Davidson E-mail: walt@dial.pipex.com walt@enterprise.net

From: Mauro Pregliasco <i1jqj@fileita.it> Subject: from RSGB IOTA Committee Statement received from the RSGB IOTA Committee: Following the commencement of the operation from Seal Island by ZS23I the IOTA Manager G3KMA has issued the new reference number AF-077 provisionally to the CAPE PROVINCE - SOUTH COAST group. This Seal Island, located in Mossel Bay near Cape St Blaize, is different from the island of the same name in the Penguin Is, off the Namibian Coast, from which several operations have taken place in the past. QSL cards will be accepted once the Committee has received documentation validating the operation and has confirmed the issue of the reference number. Details of the new validation requirements, as well as all the latest information on the IOTA Programme, are contained in the 100 page 1997 RSGB Directory and Yearbook, just published.

From: G4DYO@aol.com Subject: Re: 10 Mhz SSB in Europe ??? It is perfectly legitimate to use CW, SSB, RTTY, Data, FAX and SSTV on 10 Mhz in the United Kingdom under the terms of the UK Amateur Licence. The only reason why SSB is not heard is because of the IARU Band Plan (which, of course, has no legal standing and is simply a "gentleman's agreement"). I cannot speak for the situation in other countries, although I suspect that the situation is similar. The band is allocated to amateurs on a "secondary" basis but there often seems to be far more empty space than on 40m, where all modes seem to cohabit peacefully. 73 de Bren, G4DYO

For yet another year in a row, Radio amateur association of West Greece <<RAAWG>> will take part at the CQ WW SSB Contest this month using the known callsign S V 1 A F A . This year, we are fortunate enough to operate from Vlochos mountain at an altitude of about 1000 meters! Our actual QTH will be inside the local monastery along with the corporation of the local authorities. This place is also famous in Greece because of its archeological value. Near the monastery are the ruins of Thestieon acropolis which was constructed by king Laertes of Ithaka, father of the famous Odysseus from the Greek ancient mythology. Our contest category will be Multi operators with a single transmiter. We hope to be in as many logs as possible, with the help of propagation, since we QRV in Low Power only and with loop plus vertical, longwhire antennas. So, we shall meet at 160 to 10 meters.

DX contesters will make the bands highly active and it will appear that bands and paths normally thought to be closed, open up and surprise you. On the first evening propagation will be slow as we should be recovering from an active GEOMAG period. So, work those Asia and Oceania areas the first evening. While on the 27th (Sat/Sunday), the bands are expected to be better. Last year at this time Solar Flux was in the mid-to-high 80'. This year the mid 60's to low 70's will be the norm. Note, band will close earlier and open later than last year. CU on the bands. Remember: Have fun.....KH6Bloomin'ZipperFlipper 3C1, EQUATORIAL GUINEA.

From: Ray Gerrard <tayno@ibm.net> Subject: Burma/Myanmar XY1U An operation from Yangon (Rangoon) Myanmar (Burma) will take place from 25th October 1996 until 4th November 1996 by the "JA1UT" DX Group. This will be the 4th demonstration/operation in the series linked to Visit Myanmar Year 1996. It had been hoped to operate from Mandalay or Pagan on this occasion but this was not possible, and the alternative of an operation in Yangon was accepted. Call signs to be used, are XY1HT, XY1VMY, and XY1U. The group consists of mainly European, and Japanese operators. Additional operators are welcome to contact 9M2/G3NOM. On the first weekend , an entry will be made in the CQWW SSB contest. Also, a parallel operation will be made on Satellite during the contest weekend. If conditions allow a choice, a focus will be made on modes, bands, and areas, not being targetted by the upcoming XZ1N Burma Blockbuster DXpediton, (although that leaves little scope HI). Both expeditions are being held under the auspices of the Ministry of Hotels and Tourism and therefore are designed to complement each other. Watch out initially on the usual DX frequencies. QSL arrangements will be announced during the operation, but as a default can be sent to G0CMM QSL manager for G3NOM DX Peditions. 73 de Ray

JA1UT and a group of operators are scheduled to visit "Republique Islamique de Mauritanie" for a week beginning November 6th. This is in support of the "Save Africa" aid project in cooperation with the drivers of the famous "Paris-Dakar Motor Rally". SSTV operation is planned in addition to the usual modes.

The DX News Sheet (DXNS) reports Shin, JA2SWJ, will be active November 2-3th as 9M8HIM on 1824 kHz with 500W. C5, THE GAMBIA. A few weeks ago, OPDX mentioned that Gary, C53HG had left the The Gambia for Namibia. Paul, VE3JLP, (DX Editor, The Canadian Amateur) wrote to OPDX and that states we may begin to see a lack of activity from C5 now. Paul reports, "My daughter, who taught at the Gambia College of Agriculture at Brikama 18 months ago, tells me that the science teacher there, who occasionally put the college station, C53GCA, on the air has now moved on to a new job and this station is likely, from now on, to be gathering dust! By the way, the college station is the one I briefly put on the air in Februaury, 1995, it was installed by a group of VE1s a year or two before. I don't THINK there are any other resident staions in C5, so it may soon become a pretty rare DX." OPDX has found that C53HN still continues to be active briefly and mainly on CW. Last spot listed on the Ohio/Penn Network was October 21st at 1842z on 14020 kHz. FH, MAYOTTE. Denise, F6HWU, will be active as FH/F6HWU from November 9-27th.

The organiser is Ray G3NOM on behalf of the JA1UT group. JA1UT himself is preparing another team for the 5T5 Mauritania DX Pedition linked to the Paris-Dakar Internation Motor Rally. ( To run from 6 - 16th Nov 96). The call-sign XY1U was used in the CQ WW SSB contest, and for Satellite and RTTY contacts. The callsign XY1U is being used by the Japanese operators JA1CDG (Ken), JA8RUZ(Toshi), and JP1TRJ(Hiro). QSLs for QSOs under this call-sign should go to JA8RUZ CBA. XY1HT is being used by the European operators G3NOM and LA7JO. This time the QSLs should go to LA7JO CBA. The operation is taking place from a government building in the city centre, and unfortunately a high noise level is again being experienced. Last night Stig LA7JO ran out a short Beveridge antenna on the roof top, and this resulted in much better reception on 80m. We are using separate transmit and receive antennas due to the high noise level. We are working on this noise problem with a view to improving things for the upcoming weekend. A reminder that the upcoming DXPedition XZ1N, 16th November onwards, will have specialists to deal with the LF bands, including 160m. So although we will try our best, please bear in mind that there should be large safety net waiting. The antennas in use are a Create 3/4 element tribander for 28/21/14, A Butternut HF6V, an 80m inverted vee, and loops for WARC bands. Rigs are FT890, IC735, IC706, TL922, FLl200, AL84. 73 de Ray

Paul, 5X4F, is planning an all band (160 through 10) Multi-Single entry in the CQWWDX CW Contest from Arua in northwest Uganda. Operators are Dave/KE4EW, Dale/N3BNA and Paul/5X4F. Before the contest, Dave will be operating with the call 5X4DLI. QSL to KE4EW. The QSL Manager for 5X4F is now K3SW. Dave is helping Paul install a 60' tower. The Battle Creek Trapper will be hung off of the tower for 160 to 40 meters. An Explorer 14 will be installed on the tower. A SGC Solid state AMP will also be in operation on the lower bands. All power for the operation will be from a solar charged battery system. 5V, TONGO (UPDATE). Rodger, G3SXW, (Note the callsign change that was orginally announced 5V5A.) reports the 5V7A project for CQ World-Wide CW Contest is just about ready to roll. There are ten operators, six stations and 17 antennas in the multi-multi category: AA7NO, G3SXW, G4FAM, GM3YTS, K5VT, K7GE, KC7V, N7BG, W6RGG, WB7SRW. This is the same team that did TY5A (1995) and 9G5AA (1994). First departures are on November 13th, and the team will travel by road through Ivory Coast and Ghana to reach Togo. There will be some activity before the contest, while the team is testing antennas on various bands using their personal callsigns: AA7NO/5V7MB, G3SXW/5V7A, G4FAM/5V7FA, GM3YTS/5V7RF, K5VT/5V7VT, K7GE/5V7JL, KC7V/5V7MF, N7BG/5V7BG, and WB7SRW/5V7PN. They hope to be active on all bands including the WARC bands between November 20-24th. On 160 meters look for them low in the band. All activity will cease at the end of the contest as they will leave for home the next morning. News updates are posted frequently to the WWW Home Page: http://www.getnet.com/~kf7ay/5v5a.html QSLs for all the above call-signs go via home-call except for 5V7A which is via GM4AGL. 9M2, WEST MALAYSIA. The DXNS report Don, G3OZF, will be active November 7-10th as 9M2/G3OZF from Pangkor Island (IOTA AS-072). Activity will be on CW/SSB and 80-10 meters. QSL to CBA. 9U, BURUNDI. 9U5DX has been active over the past weekend on 15 meters (21285, 21291 and 21298 kHz) at various times (1230, 1300 and 1630z). QSL via F2VX. C21, NAURU (Where will Martti, OH2BH, go next?). The well known DXer will be heading to C21-land for his birthday and will be active as C21BH. It is interesting that Nauru is the exact spelling of a Finnish word which, according to old popular Finnish wisdom, "it extends life in the spirit of a good life". The Finnish dictionary describes the word Nauru as a fit of laugher and an island republic in the Central Pacific. So it was no surprise that Martti Laine, OH2BH, has invited his friends to share his 50th birthday in Nauru, in the spirit of Nauru. November 20th will mark the departure of his very special flight out of Manilla, the Phillipines, heading to Nauru Republic. The festivities will begin 6 P.M. on November 20th at the Nauru Republic Government House, hosted by the Minister of Finance, H.E. Ruben James Kun, C21RK, and some signals may be expected out of Nauru on that same night. Four stations, all signing C21BH, will hit the airwaves for a week. They will be working the CQ WW DX Contest in the Multi/Multi setting, using three different sites with beam antennas. While Yaesu has provided the FT-1000MP transceivers and Cuschraft all the antennas, the amplifiers will be light weight briefcase ones succesfully used on many recent DXpeditions. While SSB/CW will be mostly used on the frequencies that will be announced shortly, full RTTY capabilities will be on hand. All the activities will begin November 20th and end the 27th.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Additional Bulletins for OPDX InterNet Subscribers -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Date: Tue, 29 Oct 1996 06:59:03 -0500 Message-ID: <961029065902_1780073830@emout15.mail.aol.com> Subject: Update on Heard Island DXpedition UPDATE ON THE HEARD ISLAND DXPEDITION - JAN 97 prepared by KK6EK and K4UEE A milestone in the preparations for the 1997 Heard Island DXpedition was reached on October 10, when the second of two 20-ft. containers of gear was shipped from Oakland to Reunion Island, the departure point for the expedition. The gear includes complete life support for 20 persons for the three-week stay on Heard Island, plus all the equipment for five complete radio operating on all HF bands, RTTY, and amateur satellite. Preparations for the expedition have been in high gear for most of the past year. Following the 1995 attempt, which resulted in financial disaster for the team, the project was reorganized, and the team enlarged to 20 radio operators in order to reduce the cost per person. Additional equipment, procedures, and travel arrangements were incorporated to ensure safety and travel success. The team has been essentially intact since it was formed in January, 1996. Currently it includes: EA8AFJ, HB9AHL, K0IR, K4UEE, K9AJ, KK6EK, N6EK, N6MZ, NP4IW, OE9AMJ, ON6TT, PA3DUU, RA3AUU, VK2TQM, W6OTC, W8FMG,WA0PUJ, WA3YVN, and 9V1YC. During the last weekend in September, part of the team assembled in the SF Bay area for a training and checkout session, during which they erected one of the shelters, set up the galley and sleeping equipment, and operated an HFstation. It was an opportunity for the team to practice a rapid setup of a shelter and life support and to begin to form new friendships. The two containers of gear weigh over 10 tons and include four shelters 12x24 ft. each for sleeping, eating, meeting, the Satellite station, an HF station and storage. There are two additional shelters 8x8 ft. which will house two HF stations each. The radios are Yaesu FT1000MP's, FT900's and ETO 91B linears. The team has shipped large quantities of antennas. Low band antennas are mostly verticals including four-square arrays for 160, 80, 40 and 30m. On the higher bands, monobanders and tribanders will be employed. The reason for so many antennas is to have plenty of spares in case a major storm destroys some or all of the erected antennas. The team will log using a CT-network. Every day the logs will be uploaded via Pacsat to a central site for posting on the Web. Anyone will be able to enter basic information about a QSO, and receive confirmation that the QSO is in the log. We will not send out e-QSLs or pre-emptive printed QSLs as was done on the Easter Island (XR0Y/Z) expedition. The team will assemble on Reunion Island during the last week of December. On Jan. 3, 1997, they will leave aboard the 300-ft. French vessel Marion Dufresne for a 10-day sail to Crozet and then Heard Island. If weather permits, the equipment will be put on the island by helicopter; if not, it will be landed by boat. The stations will come on the air on or before Jan. 15, 1997, using the callsign VK0IR. The NCDXF 5-band HF beacon will be set up immediately upon arrival to transmit continuously during the stay. The total cash budget for the expedition is $320K. Almost 2/3 of this cost is transportation to Heard Island, which is remote from any normal shipping lanes. The balance of the budget is required for special gear and services, such as the shelters, food, fuel, and transportation of the equipment. An example of the high cost of this operation is the charge for shipping and storing the containers of gear, more than $20K. As of mid-October 1996, about $260K has been raised or is guaranteed, leaving about $60K yet to be obtained. This project has been developed with the following principles foremost: (1) safety of the participants; (2) reliability of schedule and radio operations; (3) advancement of the art and science of DXing and DXpeditioning. To that end, we have opted for a large team, reliable (albeit expensive) transportation, and considerable backup gear and plans. We believe that there is no way this expedition can fail, short of a major environmental disaster. We also believe that to make less investment would seriously compromise one of the principles listed above. Donations are greatly appreciated at one of the addresses listed below. Donations are not at risk. The expedition team is taking all financial responsibility until the expedition is completed. Should the project fail due to other than an Act of God, the donors monies will be returned.

Welcome to the OH2BH 50th Birthday Celebration! Where do we go next? NAURU ISLAND - C21BH: Nauru is the exact spelling of a Finnish word and according to old popular Finnish wisdom, it extends life in the spirit of a good life. The Finnish dictionary describes the word Nauru as a fit of laugher and an island republic in the Central Pacific. So it was no surprise that Martti Laine, OH2BH invited his friends to share his 50th Birthday in Nauru in the spirit of Nauru. November 20th will mark the departure on this very special flight out of Manila, the Phillipines, heading to Nauru Republic. While the festivities will begin 6P.M. on November.20th at the Nauru Republic Government House, hosted by the Minister of Finance, H.E. Ruben James Kun, C21RK, some signals maybe expected out of Nauru already on that same night. Four stations, all signing C21BH, will hit the airwaves for a week including the CQ WW DX Contest in the multi-multi setting, using three different sites with beam antennas. While Yaesu has provided the FT1000MP transceivers and Cuschraft all the antennas, the amplifiers will be light weight briefcase ones, succesfully used on many recent DXpeditions. While SSB/CW will be mostly used on the frequencies that will be announced shortly, also a full RTTY capabilities will be on hand. Strategies and station information: Dates: 20 November - 27 November 1996 (including CQWW CW) Operators: DU3YL, DU9RG, KJ4VH, K8YSE, JA1BK, JP1NWZ, OH1RY, OH2BC, OH2BE, OH2BH and SM7PKK. Station logistics: Station A: This will be located in the main hotel, including WARC-bands and probably one other major band in the contest. FT1000MP and Alpha 91B with A3S and Create 80/40 vertical. Station Master The Old Timer himself. Station B: With the best low-band location on the Island together with OH1RY's expertise to generate super 160-80-40 signal. This can also do low-bands in the contest. FT1000MP and OH1RY solid state amp with A3S and dipoles for low-band. Station master OH1RY. Station C: At the house of C21RK with the beam and amp. This can run 20M thru 10M DX, including CQ WW CW. TS940 and TL922, 3-el beam and some low-band antennas. Station master KJ4VH. Station D: At the main hotel JA1BK's Yeasu Radio and OH1RY solid state amp with WARC band wire antennas. More information will be released later on at this site.

From: Mauro Pregliasco <i1jqj@fileita.it> Subject: IOTA NOTICE * NA-206 The following statement has been received from the RSGB IOTA Committee Chairman (Martin Atherton, G3ZAY) and IOTA Manager (Roger Balister, G3KMA). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- BARREN IS (NA-206) QSL CARDS Members of the IOTA community will be aware of action over the last two weeks by John Reisenauer, NL7TB to bring attention to the high cost of DXpeditions to some of the more remote IOTA groups and his view that the IOTA community should be prepared to share some of the expense in return for the pleasure obtained from making contact. This action took the form of returning a substantial number of QSL cards received for his recent Barren Is operation (NA-206) with the original cards inside with a note making clear his position and asking for donations. Unfortunately, the impression was given that no donation meant no card. John subsequently made it known that cards for those stations would be sent via the bureau. A number of recipients of returned cards have complained to the IOTA Committee at what they see as unethical behaviour. Some have expressed the view that a DXpedition should secure adequate funding through sponsorship before launching an operation. The IOTA Committee Chairman and IOTA Manager expressed their disappointment to NL7TB at the way in which he made his point. John has apologised and has agreed to send direct cards at his cost to those whose cards he returned. IOTA participants who had cards returned are asked to resubmit them to John with a self addressed envelope or label (no return postage is required) or to e-mail Martin, G3ZAY (at g3zay@dial.pipex.com) with their QSO details and address which he will forward to John. We wish to make it clear in the strongest terms that we believe that a direct card with adequate return postage should receive a direct reply. We cannot condone therefore the action which was taken on this occasion. On the other hand we wish to point out that we have no objection in principle with an expedition organiser requesting contributions on a voluntary basis before or after an operation. We consider that there is a case for encouraging participants who are able and willing to do so to send a small contribution over and above postage in those cases where it is abundantly evident that transportation and life support costs are high. More financial assistance from the IOTA community will encourage more DXpeditions, the converse is unfortunately equally true. For their part IOTA DXpedition organisers should realise that, on current experience, the number of IOTA enthusiasts who send direct cards is not great (it is suspected that it seldom exceeds 300 even for a first time activity from "a new one") and that the proportion of those who might be prepared to enclose a modest financial contribution may be less than half. While encouragement and exhortation may produce a higher level of contribution, particularly for high cost operations, significant support will result only from an expansion in the number of participants in the programme. This will take time. The RSGB is committed to the use of QSL bureaus and nothing said here is intended to discourage their use by DXpeditioners and the stations they work. Beyond saying that we will consider any repetition of the above mentioned action by any operator in the most serious light, we now consider this matter closed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauro Pregliasco, I1JQJ RSGB IOTA Committee Member (Europe) Mauro Pregliasco, I1JQJ/KB2TJM 425 DX News Editor E-mail: i1jqj@fileita.it

That's a block of rock of 551 feet high over the ocean not inhabited before. We are happy and proud to be the first! We made more than 2,100 QSO during 40 hour-operation. We want also inform you that QSO are all already logged and we can order printing the QSL within a few weeks. However, as all IOTA community is expecting a decision from IOTA Commitee about giving Martim Vaz a proper number, ABRA directory has decided to wait a little morein order to put the correct IOTA number on the cards.

Alex, D25L (PA3DZN), sends OPDX the following: "....upon arrival I've been issued the call D25L. Yes, it could have been shorter (D2L was an option), but I fancied the "5" in there.... Since early October I operated only on three ocassions so far; an hour or so sometime mid-October, a few hours before the WW SSB, and the WW SSB itself. Reason being that I "borrowed" the 10 element rotatable logper overlooking the Atlantic and a TL922 from the Portugese army for these purposes as my own equipment had not arrived yet at that time except for my handcarried TS-50. Also, I wasn't sure where exactly in the country I was going to be so in any event, I could not install my station. Now, however, it has been confirmed that I will go to an area in the south-east of the country, and my own equipment arrived this week as well. I will travel coming Friday, November 8, and with a bit of luck, I'll have my equipment up sometime this weekend. In any case, expect some more activity. QSL this operation via PA3DMH.

We are now just 60 days away from sailing from Reunion Island aboard the Marion Dufresne, bound for Crozet, Heard, and Kerguelen. Half of our gear is already on the ship on Reunion, the other half due to arrive shortly. We have nearly the entire original team intact, although a recent withdrawall has opened a position. If you or anyone you know is interested, please contact me immediately. You can see all the information about the project on our web pages at http://www.ccnet.com/~cordell/HI The funding for the trip is about 90% complete. We are nowworking to find the last 10%, or $30K. We hope you might be able to help, either by being generous yourselves or by helping us to locate resources. We are open to the possibility of taking one or two "guest/sponsors." These people would not have any formal duties and would not even have to be licensed radio amateurs, but would be financial supporters. If you have any suggestions, please contact us. We are very interested in making best use of our time and resources, to best serve the amateur community. I would personally be interested in whether you need HI for DXCC, and to what extent you will be listening for us and trying to work us. I mainly want to get a better feeling for the audience, so we can be most responsive. I have appended to this message a press release that was prepared by Bob Allphin K4UEE and released recently. We would love it if you would distribute it wherever you can. Thanks for whatever help you may already have given. We're looking forward to making this an event to remember! Bob KK6EK Expedition Leader ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BACKGROUND Preparations for the Heard Island Dxpedition have been in high gear for most of the past year. Depending on the survey, Heard Island is either the the #1 or #3 most needed DXCC country and may represent the most difficult and complicated DXpedition ever attempted. The 1995 attempt on Heard was aborted and resulted in financial disaster for the team. The project was then reorganized, and the team enlarged to 20 radio operators in order to reduce the cost per person. Additional equipment, procedures, and travel arrangements were included to ensure safety and success. This project has been developed with the following principles foremost: (1) safety of the participants; (2) reliability of schedule and radio operations; (3) advancement of the art and science of DXing and DXpeditioning. To that end, we have opted for a large team, reliable (albeit expensive) transportation, and considerable backup gear and plans. In Sep/Oct 1996, two 20 foot containers with almost 15 tons of equipment were shipped to Reunion Island, the jumping off point for the team. The gear includes complete life support and radio equipment for 20 persons for the two-week stay on Heard Island. There are four shelters 12x24 ft. each for sleeping, eating, meeting, the Satellite station, an HF station and storage. There are two additional shelters 8x8 ft. which will house two HF stations each. The radios are Yaesu FT1000MP's, FT900's and ETO 91B linears. The team has shipped large quantities of antennas. Low band antennas are mostly verticals including four-square arrays for 160, 80, 40 and 30m. On the higher bands, monobanders and tribanders will be employed. The reason for so many antennas is to have plenty of spares in case a major storm destroys some or all of the erected antennas.
ham-radio.236 pifat,
PETI DEO THE TEAM The expedition team has been essentially intact since it was formed in January, 1996. Currently it includes: EA8AFJ, HB9AHL, K0IR, K4UEE, K9AJ, KK6EK, N6EK, N6MZ, NP4IW, OE9AMJ, ON6TT, PA3DUU, RA3AUU, VK2TQM, W6OTC, W8FMG, WAPUJ, WA3YVN, and 9V1YC. Expedtion leaders believe they have assembled a great mix of Phone, CW,and RTTY operators with a bias toward Low Band (160,80,40,and 30m) operations. The timing of this Dxpedition is ideal for emphasing the Low Bands, as this winter will see the "peak" of the low band propagation in the solar cycle. Good openings are anticipated on 20, 17, 15m as well with fair, sporadic openings on 12 and 10m. TECHNOLOGY Modern technology will be employed, much like the very successful "DXpedition of the year-1995 " to Easter Island / Salas y Gomez (XR0Y/XR0Z). The team will log using a CT-network. Every day the logs will be uploaded via Pacsat to a central site for posting on the World Wide Web. Anyone will be able to enter basic information about a QSO, and receive confirmation that the QSO is in the log. Extensive use of pilot operators will help the Heard Island team gets feedback to ensure success of the DXpedition. The pilots will relay your input and suggestions to the Heard team on what can be done to improve performance and results. Pilots are: ON4UN - John (Europe & pilot coordinator) WB2DND - Don (US Eastcoast) WD0AEK - Bob (US Northcoast) K0EU - Randy (US Central) N4PYD - Scotty (US Southcoast) WA2FIJ/6 - Jay (US Westcoast) JH1ROJ - Isao (Japan & Asia) OPERATING FREQUENCIES CW SSB RTTY 160M: 1.826.5 N/A 80M: 3.507/3.522 3.799 40M: 7.007 7.065 7.030 30M: 10.104 10.140 20M: 14.024 14.195 14.085 17M: 18.074 18.145 18.105 15M: 21.024 21.295 21.085 12M: 24.894 24.945 10M: 28.024 28.475 SCHEDULE The team will assemble on Reunion Island during the last week of December. On Jan. 3, 1997, they will leave aboard the 300-ft. French vessel Marion Dufresne for a 10-day sail to Crozet and then Heard Island. If weather permits, the equipment will be put on the island by helicopter; if not, it will be landed by boat. The stations will come on the air on or before Jan.15, 1997, using the callsign VK0IR. The NCDXF 5-band HF beacon will be set to transmit continuously during the stay. Departure will occur on Jan.27,1997 and after a brief stop on Kergulen will sail to Reunion, arriving on Feb.5,1997. Due to the brievity of the stops on Crozet and Kergulen, operation from these islands is uncertain. However, operation from Reunion is planned both before departure and after the return. FINANCING The total budget for the expedition is $320K. Almost 2/3 of this cost is transportation to Heard Island, which is remote from any normal shipping lanes. The balance of the budget is required for special gear and services, such as the shelters, food, fuel, and transportation of the equipment. An example of the high cost of this operation is the charge for shipping and storing the containers of gear, is more than $20K. Donations are greatly appreciated at one of the addresses listed below. Donations are not at risk. The expedition team is taking all financial responsibility until the expedition is completed. Should the project fail due to other than an Act of God, the donors monies will be returned. Donations are gratefully accepted via: Heard Island DXpedition c/o Bob Allphin, K4UEE 4235 Blackland Dr. Marietta, GA 30067 USA mallphin@aol.com Heard Island DXpedition c/o Peter Casier, ON6TT Oude Heerbaan 30B-9230 Wetteren, Belgium pcasier@innet.be The Heard Island DXpedition team is committed to carrying out this operation in an exemplary manner. Every effort will be made to insure the maximum number of QSO's on as many band/modes as possible while minimizing interference to other amateur interests. Your feedback and input through the Pilot operators is critical to this goal. What we learn through this project will aid others in carrying out operations in the field safely and reliably in the future, and will serve as a guide for those to follow. We hope you will enjoy and support this expedition, both with your QSO's and finacially and will be proud to say "I helped make it happen".

His action took the form of returning a substantial number of QSL cards received for his recent Barren Is operation (NA-206) with the original cards inside with a note making clear his position and asking for donations. Unfortunately, the impression was given that no donation meant no card. John subsequently made it known that cards for those stations would be sent via the bureau. A number of recipients of returned cards have complained to the IOTA Committee at what they see as unethical behaviour. The IOTA Committee Chairman and IOTA Manager expressed their disappointment to NL7TB at the way in which he made his point. John has apologised and has agreed to send direct cards at his cost to those whose cards he returned. IOTA participants who had cards returned are asked to resubmit them to John with a self addressed envelope or label (no return postage is required) or to e-mail Martin, G3ZAY (at g3zay@dial.pipex.com) with their QSO details and address which he will forward to John. NOTE: The full text of the statement has been already sent on the 425dxnews Reflector; it is also available on the 425 WWW Page (http://www-dx.deis.unibo.it/htdx/index.html).

From: "David Muller" <davidm@zip.com.au> Date: Mon, 11 Nov 1996 15:59:59 +0000 Subject: 425DXNEWS: Heard Island Dxpedition - Update We are now just 60 days away from sailing from Reunion Island aboard the Marion Dufresne, bound for Crozet, Heard, and Kerguelen. Half of our gear is already on the ship on Reunion, the other half due to arrive shortly. We have nearly the entire original team intact, although a recent withdrawall has opened a position. If you or anyone you know is interested, please contact me immediately. You can see all the information about the project on our web pages at http://www.ccnet.com/~cordell/HI The funding for the trip is about 90% complete. We are nowworking to find the last 10%, or $30K. We hope you might be able to help, either by being generous yourselves or by helping us to locate resources. We are open to the possibility of taking one or two "guest/sponsors." These people would not have any formal duties and would not even have to be licensed radio amateurs, but would be financial supporters. If you have any suggestions, please contact us. We are very interested in making best use of our time and resources, to best serve the amateur community. I would personally be interested in whether you need HI for DXCC, and to what extent you will be listening for us and trying to work us. I mainly want to get a better feeling for the audience, so we can be most responsive. I have appended to this message a press release that was prepared by Bob Allphin K4UEE and released recently. We would love it if you would distribute it wherever you can. Thanks for whatever help you may already have given. We're looking forward to making this an event to remember! Bob KK6EK Expedition Leader ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - BACKGROUND Preparations for the Heard Island Dxpedition have been in high gear for most of the past year. Depending on the survey, Heard Island is either the the #1 or #3 most needed DXCC country and may represent the most difficult and complicated DXpedition ever attempted. The 1995 attempt on Heard was aborted and resulted in financial disaster for the team. The project was then reorganized, and the team enlarged to 20 radio operators in order to reduce the cost per person. Additional equipment, procedures, and travel arrangements were included to ensure safety and success. This project has been developed with the following principles foremost: (1) safety of the participants; (2) reliability of schedule and radio operations; (3) advancement of the art and science of DXing and DXpeditioning. To that end, we have opted for a large team, reliable (albeit expensive) transportation, and considerable backup gear and plans. In Sep/Oct 1996, two 20 foot containers with almost 15 tons of equipment were shipped to Reunion Island, the jumping off point for the team. The gear includes complete life support and radio equipment for 20 persons for the two-week stay on Heard Island. There are four shelters 12x24 ft. each for sleeping, eating, meeting, the Satellite station, an HF station and storage. There are two additional shelters 8x8 ft. which will house two HF stations each. The radios are Yaesu FT1000MP's, FT900's and ETO 91B linears. The team has shipped large quantities of antennas. Low band antennas are mostly verticals including four-square arrays for 160, 80, 40 and 30m. On the higher bands, monobanders and tribanders will be employed. The reason for so many antennas is to have plenty of spares in case a major storm destroys some or all of the erected antennas. THE TEAM The expedition team has been essentially intact since it was formed in January, 1996. Currently it includes: EA8AFJ, HB9AHL, K0IR, K4UEE, K9AJ, KK6EK, N6EK, N6MZ, NP4IW, OE9AMJ, ON6TT, PA3DUU, RA3AUU, VK2TQM, W6OTC, W8FMG, WAPUJ, WA3YVN, and 9V1YC. Expedition leaders beleive they have assembled a great mix of Phone, CW,and RTTY operators with a bias toward Low Band (160,80,40,and 30m) operations. The timing of this Dxpedition is ideal for emphasing the Low Bands, as this winter will see the "peak" of the low band propagation in the solar cycle. Good openings are anticipated on 20, 17, 15m as well with fair, sporadic openings on 12 and 10m. TECHNOLOGY Modern technology will be employed, much like the very successful "DXpedition of the year-1995 " to Easter Island / Salas y Gomez (XR0Y/XR0Z). The team will log using a CT-network. Every day the logs will be uploaded via Pacsat to a central site for posting on the World Wide Web. Anyone will be able to enter basic information about a QSO, and receive confirmation that the QSO is in the log. Extensive use of pilot operators will help the Heard Island team gets feedback to ensure success of the DXpedition. The pilots will relay your input and suggestions to the Heard team on what can be done to improve performance and results. Pilots are: ON4UN - John (Europe & pilot coordinator) WB2DND - Don (US Eastcoast) WD0AEK - Bob (US Northcoast) K0EU - Randy (US Central) N4PYD - Scotty (US Southcoast) WA2FIJ/6 - Jay (US Westcoast) JH1ROJ - Isao (Japan & Asia) OPERATING FREQUENCIES CW SSB RTTY 160M: 1.826.5 N/A 80M: 3.507/3.522 3.799 40M: 7.007 7.065 7.030 30M: 10.104 10.140 20M: 14.024 14.195 14.085 17M: 18.074 18.145 18.105 15M: 21.024 21.295 21.085 12M: 24.894 24.945 10M: 28.024 28.475 SCHEDULE The team will assemble on Reunion Island during the last week of December. On Jan. 3, 1997, they will leave aboard the 300-ft. French vessel Marion Dufresne for a 10-day sail to Crozet and then Heard Island. If weather permits, the equipment will be put on the island by helicopter; if not, it will be landed by boat. The stations will come on the air on or before Jan.15, 1997, using the callsign VK0IR. The NCDXF 5-band HF beacon will be set to transmit continuously during the stay. Departure will occur on Jan.27,1997 and after a brief stop on Kergulen will sail to Reunion, arriving on Feb.5,1997. Due to the brievity of the stops on Crozet and Kergulen, operation from these islands is uncertain. However, operation from Reunion is planned both before departure and after the return. FINANCING The total budget for the expedition is $320K. Almost 2/3 of this cost is transportation to Heard Island, which is remote from any normal shipping lanes. The balance of the budget is required for special gear and services, such as the shelters, food, fuel, and transportation of the equipment. An example of the high cost of this operation is the charge for shipping and storing the containers of gear, is more than $20K. Donations are greatly appreciated at one of the addresses listed below. Donations are not at risk. The expedition team is taking all financial responsibility until the expedition is completed. Should the project fail due to other than an Act of God, the donors monies will be returned.

Every effort will be made to insure the maximum number of QSO's on as many band/modes as possible while minimizing interference to other amateur interests. Your feedback and input through the Pilot operators is critical to this goal. What we learn through this project will aid others in carrying out operations in the field safely and reliably in the future, and will serve as a guide for those to follow. We hope you will enjoy and support this expedition, both with your QSO's and finacially and will be proud to say "I helped make it happen".

VK0IR, HEARD ISLAND (UPDATE) ---> Bob, KK6EK reports that "the funding for the trip is about 90% complete. We are now working to find the last 10%, or $30K. We are open to the possibility of taking one or two 'guest/sponsors'. These people would not have any formal duties and would not even have to be licensed radio amateurs, but would be financial supporters. We have nearly the entire original team intact, although a recent withdrawall has opened a position. If you or anyone you know is interested, please contact me immediately". The timing of this Dxpedition (15-27 January, 1997) is ideal for emphasing the Low Bands (160, 80, 40 and 30 metres), as this winter will see the "peak" of the low band propagation in the solar cycle. Good openings are anticipated on 20, 17 and 15 metres as well with fair, sporadic openings on 12 and 10 metres. Extensive use of pilot operators will help the Heard Island team gets feedback to ensure success of the DXpedition. The pilots will relay your input and suggestions to the Heard team on what can be done to improve performance and results. Pilots are: John, ON4UN (Europe & pilot co-ordinator); Don, WB2DND (US Eastcoast); Bob, WD0AEK (US Northcoast); Randy, K0EU (US Central); Scotty, N4PYD (US Southcoast); Jay, WA2FIJ/6 (US Westcoast); Isao, JH1ROJ (Japan & Asia). Donations are greatly appreciated and are not at risk. The expedition team is taking all financial responsibility until the expedition is completed. Should the project fail due to other than an Act of God, the donors monies will be returned. Donations can be sent to Heard Island DXpedition, c/o Bob Allphin, K4UEE (4235 Blackland Dr., Marietta, GA 30067, USA) or c/o Peter Casier, ON6TT (Oude Heerbaan 30B-9230, Wetteren, Belgium).

Marv, N5AW, and Phil, N6ZZ, have licenses in hand for an operation from Bioco Island, Equatorial Guinea. Their callsigns will be 3C5A for Marv and 3C5Z for Phil. They will have two transceivers, an amplifier, a tribander and dipoles. They also plan to operate 3C5Z in the CQWW CW Contest as a Multi/Single entry. Also, they plan to operate the WARC bands outside of the contest, possibly with two stations. Both of them prefer CW but will try to spend a little time on SSB. Sorry, there will be no RTTY or packet. Phil arrives in 3C-land November 17th and departs December 1st. Marv arrives November 20th and departs the 28th. QSLs for both stations go via N6ZZ. 3V, TUNISIA. Uli, DL2HBX, states he is heading here for his first real pile-ups on Wednesday, November 20th. He reports that on Thursday and Friday he will most likely be spending time to get to know the people at 3V8BB and to do some antenna work. He states, "I hope there will be some time left over to become familiar with pile-ups before the BIG ONE starts..." During the CQ WW DX Contest you can find him around .033 kHz ("BCC frequencies") at least on the high bands. He will have to see if this is suitable for the low bands as well. NOTE! **** Every QSO will be confirmed via the BURO! **** If you can't wait, direct submissions should go to his home address: Ulrich Ann, Marienstr. 20a, D-38104 Braunschweig, Germany. Sufficient return postage for overseas airmail currently is either 2 US green stamps or 1 (one!) IRC. However, he asks for some patience as he plans to have color photo cards printed. 5X, UGANDA (UPDATE). 5X4DLI (Dave, KE4EW) and 5X4DEL (Dale, N3BNA) are now active from northwest Uganda, from the station of 5X4F (Paul). QSL 5X4DLI via KE4EW, 5X4DEL via WB3DNA and 5X4F via K3SW. They will join in a Multi/Single entry (using battery power) in the CQWW-CW Contest as 5X4F. Look for them 37 kHz from the bottom of the bands when possible. C21, NAURA. JUST A REMINDER! Begin looking for the C21BH team to be active November 20-27th (activity also during the CQWW CW Contest) to celebrate Martti Laine's 50th birthday. Suggested frequencies: CW - 1828, 3503/23, 7003/23, 10108, 14003/23, 18083, 21003/23, 24903 and 28003/23 kHz SSB - 3792, 7085, 14215, 18115, 21255, 24945, 28475 kHz RTTY - 10130, 14082, 18100 and 21082 kHz During the CQ WW CW Contest they will move to the lower end of the bands if they can't keep their prefered frequencies. Do remember that one station will remain on SSB during the contest! ADDED NOTE: OPDX InterNet Subscribers will receive an added bulletin containing an update provided by Mats, SM7PKK. ADDED UPDATE: Just before going to print, OPDX was told Hillar Raamat, N6HR, has been added to the list of operators of: DU3YL, DU9RG, KJ4VH, K8YSE, JA1BK, JP1NWZ, OH1RY, OH2BC, OH2BE, OH2BH and SM7PKK.

We are busy constructing each of the four stations to be used during the nine days of operation. This will be an all-mode operation and will even feature a special event station during the official opening ceremonies of the "Visit Myanmar Year 1996" on November 18th. Participants of this operation are: K5VT KC5AYR K6ZV K7WP K7WX N6BT OH1NYP OH2BE OH2BH N7ZRD NA7DB WA6CDR WA7LNW WY7K This activity has the support of the Myanmar government at the highest levels and will conclude with a special multi-multi entry in the 1996 CQ World-Wide DX Contest. This week of intense activity from this rare location will be a wonderful opportunity for operators from every zone to work XZ in many ways. The crew will run four Yaesu FT-1000MP transceivers with all the necessary firepower to a collection of monoband yagis and other special antennas. All antennas have been provided by Force-12 and will be at a height of 90 feet or higher: Band Antenna 160 Magnum 160V, 53 foot linear loaded vertical with full length radials 80 EF-180B rotatable dipole at 120 feet 40 EF-240 2 element monoband yagi 30 EF-230 2 element monoband yagi 20 Two EF-230 3 element monoband yagis fed in phase 20-10 Two C-3, 5 band trapless yagis The operating site will be from the New World Inya Lake Hotel, located on the outskirts of the capital city of Yangon (96 deg 17.17 min E, 17 deg 03.05 min N). The main mode of operation will be CW, but there will also be extensive RTTY and SSB activity. Please consult the XZ1N internet web site for a detailed listing of approximate calling frequencies and splits. http://www.getnet.com/~kf7ay/myanmar.html English Version http://www.getnet.com/~kf7ay/ea.html Spanish Version This will be one of the very few times that RTTY has been offered from XZ. On this mode, XZ1N will be found around the low end of the RTTY segment of each band, listening up 1 to 6 kHz. K5VT and WA7LNW will conduct this part of the operation. Once the operation has begun, N7RK, Dave Hollander, the Central Arizona DX Association Webmaster will post frequent updates to the XZ1N web site, with observations by team members about propagation and best times to work us from different areas. We will list the call signs of especially strong signals and some of the better operators encountered. A unique aspect of this operation will be that bureau QSLs can be requested in two ways: the usual method routed as "XZ1N via W1XT" and via the internet by sending E-Mail to xz1n@qrz.com. For a quicker reply, direct requests with a return envelope and sufficient postage are encouraged and should go to; W1XT, Bob Myers PO Box 17108 Fountain Hills, AZ 85269 USA In less than 24 hours, we will be QRV.

EU-167 Press Release Pessegueiro Island Dxpedition 1996 CT1EEB/p Jose de Sa CT1CJJ/p Jose Lopes CT1/WT2O/p Tom Webster On November 17, 1996 we went to Pessegueiro Island EU-167 as this is a most wanted island for the IOTA program. Unfortunately we could not notify anyone in advance of the operation due to the fact that we were not sure if we could get transportation to the island or not. We were fortuate enough to find a fisherman willing to take us out to the island for the day. The weather was beautiful for the trip out to the island and we arrived after a 45-minute boat ride. We set up the station on the top of the island, which has an old Portuguese fortress on the top, and proceeded to work as many people as we could in the amount of time that we had. The first QSO was at 1103Z with OZ5MJ and the last QSO was with G0KIK at 1502Z. We made 513 QSO's with six continents and concentrated on the areas where the island was the most wanted. We had to cut short the operation due to the weather changing for the worse. We departed the island at 1515Z and returned to Porto Covo at about 1605Z after a rough return trip. The seas had 2.5 meter waves, almost capsizing the boat but we had an experienced captain at the helm. We could not stay overnight because the island is a wildlife refuge and you need special permission to do so. In the winter this permission is impossible to obtain due to the changing weather. But we did the best we could in the time that we had. We hope that you enjoyed working us for a new one and we really had a great time putting the island on the air. We made 513 QSO's in 4 hours using a TS50 and home-made vertical antenna. QSL information is as follows: CT1EEB/p via CT1EEB CT1CJJ/p via CT1CJJ CT1/WT2O/p via WT2O See you from the next one! 73 Thomas Webster CT1/WT2O

The navy told him that because of bad storms and hurricanes, they would not take him this month. So the next scheduled attempt will be Dec 22,23,and 24. If that does not work out, the the same dates in January. Pedro hopes that this has not caused any problems for anyone. For those who did not know of the operations, he will attempt to put on the following = islands: Dec 22 Serrena Bank NA133 Dec 23 Roncador Key NA133 Dec 24 Serranilla Bank NA132 All of the operations are scheduled to last from 6 to 8 hrs only. Pedro has said that he will let me know if they have an approximate time for his operations. All qsl's should go via HK3JJH, with appropriate postage. Pedro has let me know that IRC's are of no use to him down there. Good luck to all John WD8MGQ

Les Hamilton GM3ITN is the top U.K. station on the Islands on the Air (IOTA) Honour Roll. He has devised an award that is extremely challen- ging, particularly the higher graded awards. We hope this award will encourage Amateur Radio operators from around the world to contact or visit and activate some of the most beautiful and remote parts of Scotland. In order to encourage operations from the islands, there will be two classes of awards, one for the Chasers and the other for those who go out and activate the islands (the Activators). The islands listed are the only ones eligible for these awards. No other islands will be added. Applicants should be licensed radio amateurs. A short-wave listerner qualifies for the Chaser's Award. Chasers and Activators have different goals to achieve and the awards are graded as below: CHASERS ACTIVATORS ------- ---------- Basic 10 Islands in 6 Island Groups 5 Islands in 3 Island Groups Silver 25 Islands in 7 Island Groups 12 Islands in 4 Island Groups Gold 50 Islands in 8 Island Groups 25 Islands in 5 Island Groups Supreme 75 Islands in 10 Island Groups 40 Islands in 7 Island Groups Chasers must submit proof of contact with stations as designated above. Activators must show evidence that they have made a minimum of 100 contacts from each island claimed, i.e. photocopied log details or computer log disk. Contacts should be made from the same DXCC country and must be made with licensed amateur stations. Contacts must have taken place since 1 November 1947 and must have been made on the 1.8, 3.5, 7, 10, 14, 18, 21, 24, 28, 50, 144 Mhz bands. Maritime mobile contacts are not allowed. All stations must be shown to be land based. Original QSL cards confirming the contacts must be submitted by chasers. Any cards deemed to have been altered will be disallowed. The Islands of Scotland Directory cost 6 pounds,10 US dollars or 16 IRC and this should be applied for in the first instance. The cost of the Directory includes the cost of the Basic certificate. On applying for the Basic awards,applicants should send only sufficient postage for the return of their QSL cards. The individual cost of each other award (Silver, Gold, Supreme) is:- 5 UK pounds or 8 US dollars or 12 IRCS, plus return postage. Please specify category of return postage required and allow for this when including your postage fee. In addition to the certificate, the Supreme Award entitles the applicant to receive a Scottish Quaich, engraved with the applicants callsign and award details. Please ask for details on applying for the Supreme Award. The fee for this varies, depending on availability.

From: JIZIRAT@aol.com Subject: 425DXNEWS: IOTA:NL7TB QSL Practices and responses to his critics Hello Fellow IOTA Enthusiats First of all let me begin by apologizing for what I am about to do. For those who don't care about IOTA: or, as I do, despise negative e-mail, I beg your forgiveness and ask that you stop reading this message as you will not like its contents. For those of you that continue to do so, I hope you will understand my need to use this bandwidth. For those who are not up to speed on the NL7TB controversy, John tried to institute a cash-for-qsl policy for his NA-206 expedition. It was an attempt to draw attention of the lack of financial support IOTA expeditions get (this is an entirely different thread that I would rather not get into now). This touched off a firestorm of controversy in regard to John's actions of sending back the qsl cards of people who merely included "only" an s.a.s.e or "merely" one green stamp for, in John's own words another "DONATION", notice the emphasis on donation. It would be inevitable that such a policy would create controversy and John has undoubtedly received some letters that did not meet with his approval or opinion. Well, he seems to want to go public with these private letters. In so doing, he has attacked a good friend of mine...Tom WT2O. Since Tom does not have access to the internet medium, I took it upon myself to defend Tom (not that he needs it but because I want to). Those who know Tom know that he has an undeniable love of the hobby and in particular IOTA. As such, he gets very incensed when he thinks something is happening to hurt IOTA. John's actions were such a case. John, I challenge you to print Tom's letter in "full" text so people can see the context in which he made the statements you so carefully picked out. In John's comments he carefully leaves out the comment concerning Tom's "DONATION" (note the emphasis) despite his detesting of John's practices. I also find it interesting that you are conerned about "Tom's professionalism". Again, another attempt by John to link money to our hobby. I hope you take me up on my challenge John so everyone can judge whether or not Tom was "professional" in his response. And remember John I have already seen the letter! Before I continue, maybe its time that everyone read NL7TB's e-mail that has upset me so: <<complain,complain, complain.....whine, whine, whine......now it's my turn. N7BZI, N0ISL and VE3PRU- No, you didn't include a greenstamp with your SASE for NA-206. Maybe you intended to but they don't take "intentions" at my bank! I personally opened your envelopes. Perhaps this will jog your memories. also N7BZI- You jammed us BIG TIME while Rick and I were on from NA-206. You say you didn't, well ask the east and west coast US. Ever heard of the "Gentlemen's Agreement"? also N0ISL- Thank you for finally releasing the 1995 contest entries and monies (you volunteered to HELP again eh?). WT2O- Thank you very much for your very "nasty and colorful" letter. Most professional of you. Wow, I've been "flamed" by one of the IOTA gods! Yes, Mr. Webster, I do consider a "new one" such as NA-206 as a major Dxpedition. Since you don't, why didn't you put it on? N6JM- The official USI W/VE Contest advertisements have always stated the complete info, including certificate fees. For 1997 we will utilize "homebrew" certificates at very reasonable prices in hopes of satisfying all. Lastly, thanks to all who contacted IOTA, ARRL, INDEXA and who knows who else about "you know what". The more who are reminded about this "lack of financial support" for the DXpeditions, the better. If you won't (not CAN'T) support the DXpeditions, maybe it's time to box up the rig and take up knitting, hi hi! Not all of us are retired on small pensions, are we? Seriously, the guys in the trenches need all of us to be responsible to our hobby. Let's stop whining and enjoy island collecting! 73, John NL7TB ps: Pls forward this to N7BZI, N0ISL, VE3PRU and WT2O as I don't have their Emails. >> John you say you had support in this matter. I challenge anyone who thinks that John's actions deserve merit to please flame me to no end. I cannot in any form shape or matter see any good in John's actions, and, on the contrary, only see a bad precident if we let him get away with this one. Please I would really like to hear from anyone that agrees with what he has done. John, in attempt to cover up the mistakes of his initial actions has said that all qsls will be answered. those that don't give him enough money in return for his services will get it back via the bureau, and in his own words "in 5 years if they're lucky". So if you don't mind having your qsl card held for ransom, please, by all means, continue to support NL7TB. Those of you who don't, please express your opinions to the IOTA committee of your concerns. I know many of you secretely told me of your concerns, John is apparently under some delusion that this represents support. Do the hobby a favor and tell him what you "really" think of the matter. I hope the IOTA committee is looking closely and are wondering if John's actions are "within the spirit of the IOTA program". Something needs to be done guys! (And I am referring only to this latest incident). John, you have continueously taken these "parting shots" in your e-mails. You always say "let's get on with enjoying the hobby". Why do you have to take these final shots and continue hurting the hobby. I intially supported your intentions John (note I in no way agree with your actions) but how can i support someone who reacts like you do? You claim Tom acted un-professional, I can guarantee Tom would never make public any comments that you made to him in confidence. And he definitely wouldn't have done it in the manner in which you did! What you did was highly uncalled for. If you haven't noticed, Tom is an island activator also. Why would he complain with what you did. For the last time John, it's not your ideals it's your methods that have ticked people off. Do you really believe you have helped future expeditions with what you have done? Sorry folks I just had to get this off my chest! I've got my fire extinguisher by my computer so take your best shot! hihi 73s and lets get back to the pile-ups, where o where are the sunspots so we can stop knocking each other on the net! dave ka5tqf

In place of a multi-multi entry, we have instead opted for single band entries in 160 through 15 meters. The remainder of the group will concentrate on SSB. 160 Meters: WA6CDR continues to work from late evening through our local sunrise on top band. By tomorrow he will likely pass the 1000 QSO mark for total QSOs. Openings to Europe and Japan have been good. Openings to North America have been brief. From 1450Z to 1458Z the following stations were worked: NI6T, W6RJ, KG6I, KA6W, K7IDX, N6NF, W6AJJ, and N6TR. From 1620 to 1643, KH6CC and KL7Y were worked. near impossible to zones 4 and 5. 80 Meters: From this location, in each pileup there appears to be three distinct layers. The first background layer is a collection of unintelligible calls, sounding almost like pink noise. These are most likely average stations with modest power and a dipole or something similar. The next recognizable layer consists of stations that may only 1 or 2 dB stronger and stand out due to a combination of favorable location, more power and a better antenna. With effort, these stations are workable and have been the majority of our contacts. The third layer is heard many dB over the rest and is undoubtedly due to a more efficient antenna system. W6RJ remains the best example of this group, although there have been may others. 40 Meters: We have devoted one North American and one European opening to SSB. The response was so positive that this will be done once more before our departure. 20 Meters: This morning ( local sunset yesterday at zones 3-5) Millie, WY7K ran the best opening to North America of the entire DXpedition. Big signals in both directions for more than one hour. 15-10 Meters: Europe and Japan continue to dominate with no North America heard. It should be remembered that we are still at the bottom of the sunspot cycle and Myanmar is on the other side of the world. When was the last time you worked a VU on 15 meters if you are in North America? This will be the final update from Myanmar. with a stated emphasis on North America, let me say once again that we remain grateful to the many European and JA stations who graciously stood by during these openings. Visit the XZ1N web page at http://www.getnet.com/~kf7ay/myanmar.html for details regarding QSLs. A final summary of our activities will appear on this web site next week. 73 and good DX to all de Warren K7WX ****************************************************************************** Dave N7RK - Webmaster CADXA Phoenix, Arizona *DXCC Honor Roll* *WAZ#23 - 75 Meter SSB* Visit the Central Arizona DX Association Home page --- http://www.getnet.com/~davidh/cadxa.html -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= UPDATED 24/NOV/96 BACK ISSUES OF THE OPDX BULLETINS are archived on the host system for the OPDX Mailing List, via "nshore.org".

Zanima me kakve su šanse da se angažuju radio-amateri s obzirom na potpunu unutrašnju informativnu blokadu u zemlji.
ham-radio.297 pifat,
Nikakve, jer po definiciji radio-amateri nemaju radio-difuznu ulogu, a sadasnja situacija za sada ne moze biti proglasena nekakvom elementarnom nepogodom. Sem toga, radio-saobracaj na amaterskim opsezima nadzire niz drzavnih kontrolno mernih centara, pa bi oni koji bi hteli nesto da ucine veoma brzo potpali pod udar raznoraznih paragrafa. Cak i da se radi bez identifikacije, ometanje je lako izvodljivo, a ni goniometrijsko pronalazenje stanice koja emituje nije bas tako neizvodljivo, cak i u urbanim sredinama.

From: Dale Long <dale.long@internetmci.com> Subject: 425DXNEWS: Uganda trip and QSL information -- [ From: Dale Long * EMC.Ver #2.3 ] -- It was really a priveledge to operate from Uganda as 5X4DEL and 5X4F (during the contest). I would like to thank all of the DXers and contestors who made this possible. I would especially thank our wonderful host, 5X4F who has spent most of his life being a new one in the log for everyone as 5X4F ,5Z4FO, T55FO, OA8V and many others. As many of you know we were using only battery power, so we had to operate on low power for most of the time to conserve the batteries. We would like to thank those of you who sent us honest reports (such as 598 or 597) because it helped us to know that our batteries were getting low. I hope that people did not have problems with our poor CW tone. We tried not to transmit any more than necessary, and had two days of quiet time before the contest to let the batteries have full strength. Perhaps this will help to explain why we did not give out our qsl info very much. The correct QSL information follows: 5X4F via K3SW 5X4DLI via KE4EW 5X4DEL via WB3DNA Although we are aware that there were many other dxpeditions that were bigger, and perhaps more important, we made a lot of effort to work as many CW qsos as possible. Because of our battery power, and because of the need for CW contacts from 5X, we tried to make each transmission count. I am sure that you understand that each time we repeat our qsl info, someone else will lose his chance for a qso, usually a smaller station. Unfortunately some stations were quite insistent, and even began to QRM our frequency. It is interesting to note that the JA stations and the USA stations never asked for qsl info. I will let you draw your own conclusion why some stations do not ask for qsl info. I should note that we had given all the information possible to all of the DX bulletins around the world. I do understand that in some countries this information is more difficult to get, but after all, our hobby is about communication. It should not be so difficult to find this information later. I am not writing this to criticize anyone, I only hope that everyone will understand our situation. We do not want anyone to have a bad feeling because we did not give our QSl info very frequently. I have had considerable experience on both sides of the DX pileups, but I only wish that everyone would have the opportunity to be DX...It is really taken as a serious responsibility, and frequently the DX station is facing many problems. So before you criticize him/her from your nice, comfortable, , well-equipped station, you might remember that he may be tired, hungry, feeling ill, or being eaten by mosquitos (or worse things), he may have to face many station problems and even serious danger. (During our stay in northern Uganda, two European countries sent in airplanes to evacuate all of their citizens in our region) So we had more excitement than just the pileups! A review of our logs shows the following: 5X4F (contest with 5X4F,KE4EW,N3BNA) - 2,500 qsos 5X4DLI (op KE4EW) - 1,000 qsos 5X4DEL (op N3BNA, qsl mgr WB3DNA) - 2,500 qsos I was really pleased about the number of European and North Amaerican qsos, having made good use of some long path opening to the west coast of USA on both 40m and 20m. I was dissapointed in the few VK/ZL contacts despite our efforts, and our closeness. We also did not have such large runs to Japan as I had expected, but I was overjoyed to be called by JT1T, and to stumble upon a NL7 station beginning to call CQ...It's quite a difficult path for us. We were also happy with several qsos with XZ1N. However, we missed a lot of good multipliers because we simply couldn't break the pileups, especially on 80m and 40m. Also we had a VERY BIG rainstorm on both nights of the contest. We lost two rigs in two nights (apparently due to lightning damage) This storm really hurt 80m and 160m. Also someone transmitted into the listening antenna, and it was lost before the contest. When will the Icom/Kenwood/Yaesu ever start putting in listening antennas jacks in their radios??? This was really the "trip of a lifetime" and I shall never forget it. It may be a long time until I can do another one like this one. The people of Uganda were incredibly friendly and polite almost to excess. Thanks again to all for your help and understanding for this trip. 73 es DX !!!

Dear Russ and other dxers; Although I do not need YB as a New country, I want you to know that here on the West Coast of N. America, 1400Z is 2 hours BEFORE the sun is barely high enough to let 20m open. If any DX operation wants to contact the Western N.

From: LEEWICAL@aol.com Subject: 425DXNEWS: Recent Elevated Solar Flux Readings To fellow Propagation nerds, like myself: My commentary.... "These recent elevated levels of Solar Flux (SF) values of 100+, I believe signals the finale of Cycle 22. This recent activity has occurred at the low latitudes. So, its one last gasp of end of cycle activity. When the solar active areas grow away from the Sun's equatorial area and spread out farther and farther from the center of the solar disk into the north and southern hemispheres respectively, then our closest star, our Sun, will signal the begining of Solar Cycle 23. But until then, enjoy what we had! It was nice to have SF levels we experienced back in 1994. It was nice to have these higher SF levels during thew CQ WW CW Contest. These levels over SF=100+ were a joy and cause for some excitement to us all. Why not. It been a long drought! But, stay tuned! What are your views?

From: HWDX09A@prodigy.com ( ROBERT REED) Subject: 425DXNEWS: US Islands NJ Activations I have reviewd with John WD8MGQ some of the Islands designations in the New Jersey area. Several of them have not yet been activated. I will try to visit most of these Islands during this week between the hours of 1500Z - 1900Z but cannot pinpoint exact time or day. The first day will include all of the Islands associated with the Atlantic City resort area. While Brigantine and Absecon Islands have already been activated I will visit them in addition to new activations for Kiahs, Whirlpool, Great and Pork Islands. I have also identified the airport area south of Great Island to be a seperate Island from Absecon Island. I will ask John for a NJ identification for this island also. These islands will be on the air either Monday or Tuesday as my schedule permits. I will have business on Great Island for the upcoming few days. There are 3 additional new activations of Island further south along the NJ shore which I hope to activate later in the week. Please note the timeframe as there will be at least 8 new activations during this week from the NJ shore area. Following activation and confirmation of NJ Island numbers weekend lengthy activations will be done between now and the end of the year. ____ 73, Bob Reed, W2CE, ex WB2DIN 1991 Route 37 West - Lot 109 Toms River, New Jersey 08757

From: Ray Gerrard <tayno@ibm.net> Subject: 425DXNEWS: HS50A "Koh Chang" First Time Operation - Update IOTA FIRST TIME OPERATION FROM GULF OF THAILAND NORTH EAST GROUP - HS50A WHEN: It is now highly probable that the operation will start earlier than planned. If all goes well with the weather etc, some operators could be QRV by 1100Z on Wednesday 11th December 1996. However the main party will be active by 0500z on the 12th December and will continue until Sunday 15th December.. WHERE. Koh Chang is Thailand's second biggest Island, located at 102 deg 22' East, 12 deg 00' North. It is 5km from the coast of Thailand at its nearest point. It is 300km South East of Bangkok, 45km South West of the city of Trat in South East Thailand, and 45km West of the Cambodian border. The DX Pedition will be located on the West side of the Island. It is approximately 2 hours by boat from the mainland. The island is 70% covered by virgin forest and mountains reaching 744 metres high. The population is approximately 5000 people. WHO The DX Pedition is being organised by Chamlong HS1AAM on behalf of the Radio Amateur Society of Thailand (RAST) to celebrate the 50th year of reign of His Majesty King Bumipol of Thailand (HS1A). The special call sign HS50A will be used. Chamlong can be reached on +66 2 275 7288, and Fax +66 2 278 = 5664. The operator list has now grown and in addition to: HS1AAM, HS1CDX, HS2NS, HS2FDX, HS7ECI and HS0/SM3DYU, will be E21EJC, E21CJN, HS1EUD, HS2AT, HS2GUW, HS6CMTand HS0EHF. International Liaison - Ray 9M2/G3NOM Internet: <tayno@ibm.net> Tel/Fax +60 3 406 7240. FREQUENCIES: The usual IOTA frequencies on all bands 1.8 MHz to 30 MHz excluding WARC bands (these are not normally permitted in Thailand). Modes to be used: CW, SSB, RTTY, Packet, and possibly Satellite. Note that a special licence will allow 80 and 160 metre operation (not normally permitted). QSL MANAGER'S for direct and bureaux routes have been appointed as follows: For Japan only - JA9IFF (Jim) For Europe and the Rest of the World - I1JQJ Mauro (subject to his confirmation). It is espected that Mauro will set up a "mirror" site on 425 DX Web Site for QSL checking, and for updates during the expedition. The QSL cards will depict the First Time Operation in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Reign of His Majesty King Bumipol of Thailand (HS1A). HARDWARE: At least three transceivers, and two linears will be taken. An 18 metre tower, and rotator will support a Cushcraft A3S 3 element HF beam. For LF bands, inverted vee dipoles will be used. 80 and 160m operation will commence around 2300z on Thursday 12th December. It is not clear at this stage whether mains electricity is available, and if this is not confirmed, generators will be taken. Issued 9th December 1996

From: Ray Gerrard <tayno@ibm.net> Subject: 425DXNEWS: HS50A IOTA "Koh Chang" First Time Operation - UPDATE 1. Everything is going very well with the preparations, and the main party is already on it's way to the Island. The weather is calm, and dry in the area. Most members will sail tomorrow morning, Thailand Time, ie 2300z (12 December 1996) 2. Already HS0EHF and HS2AT have landed on the Island, and have confirmed that suitable electricity supplies are available. Therefore it will not be necessary to take generators. 3. Unfortunately it was not possible to transport the 18m tower across to the Island today, and therefore the activity has not started early as was hoped for. However, arrangements have been made to transport the tower in the morning with the main party, and it is expected they will start up during mid-afternoon Thai Time, around 0800z, and should be ready for registration around 1100Z as planned. 4. In response to requests from North America E21CJN, HS1EUD, and SM3DYU will concentrate on CW 7MHz between 1300z and 2000z looking for North American stations, this band is thought to be the best band for the purpose. The following periods will be checked for North America on- 14 MHZ CW 1630z - 1830z, 3.5 MHz CW 1100z - 1200z, 2030z-2330z. Any advice on times and propagation from North American experts will be welcomed. The above is based on experience from Thailand, and a study of propagation computer programs. 5. QSL Managers have been appointed. JA9IFF will deal with Japan only: Address for Direct Cards or Lists of Contacts (SAE's please) _____________________________________________________________________ Looking for help?

The expedition will finish in about 3 hours time ie. 0500z. The operators apologize for the slow rate of QSOs over the weekend , which has been due to problems. Details later. For information, the QSLs will be released after 1st Febuary 1997, in other words, it will qualify for the 1997 IO'TA list. It is hoped to persuade the operators to return during 1997 to give more stations a chance to work this new one.

The only credited operation from P5 was the demonstration P5/OH2AM and the following stations are on the LOG: DU3YL, ES1AR, JA1BK, JA1UQP, JA1SNF, JA2VPO, JA8EAT, JA8GQZ, JF3PEA, JH1ORA, JL1GZH, JR2SHA, OH3YI, 7L2STQ. --- NO CT1s, CT3s or CUs MADE IT INTO THE P5 LOG --- We remember you that the P5RS7 is not credited for DXCC purposes, indeed this station wasn't authorized and wasn't even located in North Korean Territory. In July 1996 Laci, HA0HW, that is working in the Capital Pyongyang at the present time, tryed to apply for a Radio-amateur permit but the answer was negative. In October 1996 Zorro, JH1AJT, and Jun, JH4RHF, have been in Pyongyang where they have installed an HAM station and made several lectures about the Hobbie. As Laci, they didn't had permit to operate (at least with the Radios ON). VK0/h, Heard Island: Everything has been said about Heard Island ! The big DX'pedition VK0IR will start on the 15th January 1997, and if all goes well, we expect that Heard will drop and fall off the 20# most wanted. KH5, Palmyra: There are no rumors about future activities from Palmyra. All that is known is that the Island has been sold and that the new owners or either pretend to build Hotels in there or some facilities to keep Industrial waiste ! VK9W, Willis Island: There are also no rumors about future activities from Willis. It is known that the Island has a Meteo station and that theres some staff living there. From May to December 1996 there was a resident HAM on Willis, VK9WG, but no activity was heard from this station at this side ! VK0/m, MacQuarie Island: 1996 has seen some activity out from MacQuarie, Warren, VK0WH, was on tour of duty on the Island during 1996, nevertheless 1200 QSOs in a year time and a deft Radio does not helps lowering this spot off the Portuguese TOP #10 ! Rumors say that Graeme VK0GW will be active from VK0m during 1997, lets hope he will be more active than Warren ! ZL9, Auckland & Campbell: Graham ZL9GD has been active from Auckland during February 1996 and this time he was LAND-BASED. --- This operation is credited by the DXCC--- There are also some news saying that the same TEAM of the Kermadecs 1996, ZL8RI, will be active from ZL9 on 1999. T33, Banaba Island: Since 1994 there is no activity from Banaba (T33CS & T33KK) and nothing is scheduled for the coming times. 3Y/b, Bouvet Island: News say that both Barry, ZS1FJ, and members of the "South Sandwich DX Group" plan activities from Bouvet during 1997/1998. KH5k, Kingman Reef: After the N9NS/KH5K operation in 1993 there has been no activity from Kingman Reef. VU4, Andaman & Nicobar: Theres a Radio-amateur active from the Andamans, Mani VU2JPS, but he is not credited for DXCC purposes. Jim Smith, VK9NS, has been trying to send Mani new Radios and equipment, but without success, all gear is stalled at New delhi at the moment. TOP #11 to TOP #20: T31---> Yearly (by Xmas) Norbert, T31BB, is active from Kanton Island. KH9---> Theres no predicted activity in the coming times. A5---> Be optimistic !!! 3B6---> Barry, ZS1FJ, has planned some activity from Agalega Island. KH1---> Theres no predicted activity in the coming times. ZK3---> Nerio, IK4MRH/HS0, has plans to be active from Tokelau from 15 to 22 of March 1997. KH4---> Our sincere thanks to Bill, NH6D/KH4, and Frank+CADXA, AH0W/AH4, for helping us lowering Midway from TOP# 1 Most-wanted Country in Portugal during 1995 to the 17th position on the 1996 survey. Yes, indeed Midway dropped 17 position on the 1996 list ! FT/z---> FT5ZG will be active from Amsterdam beggining in February 1997. ZL8---> Theres nothing to add since the activity of ZL8RI in May 1996. 3C0---> Theres no predicted activity in the coming times. 73 and many DXs, Jose E.

From: wd8mgq <wd8mgq@tir.com> Subject: 425DXNEWS: Email confirmations Please take note that the US.Island program will accept email confirmations. This concept will hopefully reduce the costs involved in sending QSL cards back and forth. It goes without saying of course that if you require cards for DXCC, IOTA, WAS, or Counties programs, that you should still submit via snail mail, as they have not yet bought into this system. The following is the new rule that will be added to the rules & regulations for the US.Islands program. *************************** Email confirmations (QSLs) are acceptable for credit towards all US I Program awards. Email confirmations submitted for credit shall be identified as such on award submissions. Copies of Email confirmations submitted for credit shall be available to awards manager upon request. **************************** I hope that this will make it easier for stations outside of North America to join in the program, with out the extra costs of mailing.

From: "David Muller h" <davidm@zip.com.au> Subject: 425DXNEWS: Join the Heard Island Team WE INVITE ALL TO JOIN THE HEARD EXPEDITION TEAM! As we began planning this DXpedition several years ago, we always intended it to be an event for you, our DX audience. Our objective was to satisfy your need for contacts and make sure that our operation was enjoyable for all concerned. In that spirit, we invite you to join the Heard expedition team on the internet: ----> The Heard reflector is now online! The Heard expedition's reflector will be the main forum in which you, our audience, can participate in our expedition. Through the reflector, you will be able to pass us your feedback. It will be the focal point for all updates and feedback coming from the expedition team on the island. And.. our pilot stations will broadcast general info on the island, the environment, our setup, the team, the challenges we are encountering, and other information of interest. In addition, the reflector will cater to free flow discussions between yourselves and the expedition's pilots. Tips, recommendations, questions and answers, anything related to the Heard expedition are proper topics for the Heard reflector! Due to the limited time and bandwidth available, the expedition members on the island will not be on the reflector. All information to and from the island will be channeled through the pilot stations. It will be the ONLY reflector on which our pilot stations will be engaged in discussions concerning the operation. With only a few days to go before the first team leaves for Reunion Island, we urge you to join the expedition team today. Come on, do it now, make this YOUR event! Here's how to do it! ----> Subscribe to the Heard reflector in 2 steps: 1. send an Email to: heard-request@ve7tcp.ampr.org put in the body: subscribe 2. Just to make sure that it is YOU who are subscribing, you will get a verification reply, asking for a confirmation. As specified in that reply, send an email to: listserv@ve7tcp.ampr.org and put in the body the exact key sentence as you found it in the reply, which looks like: auth cefd73bb subscribe heard your_name <your email address> reproduce that sentence EXACTLY as found in the verification reply. It is as simple as that! We hope to see you all on the Heard reflector very soon! By the way, gracious thanks to Lyndon, VE7TCP for his technical support. Here is a list of THE PILOT STATIONS: There are 5 pilot stations in the US, 1 in Europe and 1 in Japan. They will ensure optimum communication and feedback between the DX-community and the Heard Island Dxpedition.

From: ct1eeb@mail.telepac.pt (Jose de Sa) Subject: 425DXNEWS: VK0IR Radio Operator's Manual ! Hello, Just read Peters, ON6TT, Heard Island Expedition Radio Operator's Manual, 30 pages, HI ! For those that didn't read it yet, this document explains all operating procedures: pile-ups, splits and mainly a nice and kind way of dealing with the dreadful breakers, QRM makers and frequency policemen ! It looks like that this time if they call a specific area, call-area or call-sign (even if it is only 2 letters) it will really be it and not something completelly diferent. Its great to hear this as some operations during 1996 got us used to something completelly diferent ! I remember once a low-power "NQ" was called by one of the DX stations (in split) and even thought many station heard the DX saying -"NQ 59"-, hundreds of stations jump on his frequency yelling their calls without giving the poor fellow a chance to complete his QSO... I can't find any decent words to define this situation. On Heard Isl. if everybody goes by Peter's book (I mean document) this can't happen, but lets see how things will happen at this side, in any case Iam already praying for bunches of good sense and tolerance and thats what we all need, HI ! ON6TT Radio Operator's Manual is in the WEB at: http://www.ccnet.com/~cordell/HI/planning/Czar_radio.html#operating Its worth reading it, it will surelly help us a lot ! By the way to check if you are OK in the VK0IR LOG the WEB sites are: http://www.aurumtel.com/heard-log.html http://heard.eunet.be --> The operators ask you to look at the site closer to your location. CUL on the pile-ups. A nice New-Years to everybody. 73 and good DXing, Jose de Sa CT1EEB

Svim radio-amaterima i ostalim Sezamovkama i Sezamovcima koji prate ovu temu želim puno DX-ova (počevši od ostrva Herd pa na dalje), što manje smetnji na vezama i da nam vesti i dalje što redovnije pristižu. Sysadmu koji je ostao zbunjen našim pozivnim znacima želim da što pre završi kurs za radio operatora :))) Nadam se da je svako kome je nedostajao Red Vitezova od Malte uradio ovu zemlju - ni bližeg DX-a ni neredovnije aktivnosti :)) Na kraju, šta drugo, nego SREĆNA NOVA GODINA !!!!!!

Thanks also to the "big guns" who, notwithstanding they contacted all the countries (except P5) expressed their appreciation about our initiative, offering useful suggestions for the future. The following list, which considers the 48 most wanted Countries, reports at first three places, as it was foreseeable, North Korea, Heard Island and Bhutan. This situation is to be changed by the forthcoming operations of VK0IR, which, if the expedition is succesful, will delete Heard from the Most Wanted list. About Scarborough Reef a probable activity on a grand scale is planned by OH2BH in May. No short-time activity from Bhutan, but for Auckland (presumably in the next first three Countries after the VK0IR operations) a DXpedition is on the way, planned for 1999, by ZL8RI group. Patience is a virtue - the Bouvet expedition, organized by the South Sandwich Island Antarctic DX Group, will not take place until December 1997 (but it is possible a delay to 1998), but it should be a successful one. Another imminent change should come from the forthcoming operations from St.Peter & St.Paul Rocks (currently at the 10th place). /==========================================================================\ |Pos.| Pfx, Paese |Pos.| Pfx, Paese |Pos.| Pfx, Paese | |----|--------------------|----|-------------------|----|------------------| | 1 | P5 North Korea | 17 | FT_Z Amsterdam | 33 | KP5 Desecheo | | 2 | VK0 Heard | 18 | PY0 Peter & Paul| 34 | KH4 Midway | | 3 | A5 Bhutan | 19 | E3 Eritrea | 35 | 3B9 Rodriguez | | 4 | ZL9 Auckland | 20 | FO0 Clipperton | 36 | ST0 So.Sudan | | 5 | BS7 Scarborough | 21 | VK9 Willis | 37 | 7O Yemen | | 6 | KH5K Kingman reef | 22 | 3D2 Conway reef | 38 | VP8 So.Orkney | | 7 | VU4 Andaman | 23 | KH9 Wake | 39 | KH8 Amer.Samoa | | 8 | KH7 Kure | 24 | VU7 Laccadive | 40 | TI9 Cocos | | 9 | 3B6,7 St.Brandon | 25 | KH1 Howland | 41 | YA Afganistan | | 10 | 3Y Bouvet | 26 | 3C0 Annobon | 42 | JD1 Minami Tor.| | 11 | T31 Centr.Kirib. | 27 | ZL8 Kermadec | 43 | CY9 St. Paul | | 12 | KH5 Palmyra | 28 | HK0 Malpelo | 44 | VP8 So.Georgia | | 13 | VK0 MacQuarie | 29 | 3Y Peter 1 | 45 | FR/J Juan de Nov| | 14 | T33 Banaba | 30 | CE0 San Felix | 46 | T32 East Kirib.| | 15 | BV9 Pratas | 31 | VK9 Mellish | 47 | CY0 Sable | | 16 | ZK3 Tokelau | 32 | VP8 So.Sandwich | 48 | T2 Tuvalu | \==========================================================================/

Several other DX publications report that Tony, WA4JQS, Director of Operations of the South Sandwich Island Antarctic DX Group, states the 1997/98 operation and paper work is going along very well. Permission had been received for a December 1997 landing date, but with the possible establishment of a CCAMLR (Convention of the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Lining Resources) ecosystem monitoring program being set up on the island and taking effect in October, 1997. Problems could arise just before departure time with permission to land. The South Sandwich Group has re-applied for a 1998 season landing date also, so that they would have time to work with any new requirements that the CCAMLR group should request. He also reports that there are many requests by the JA operators for them to postpone their landing until 1998, so that the 28 MHz band opening to JA would be greater. This was also a big factor in the new date request. Ceo OPDX bilten je prikaŔen uz ovu poruku. opdx.zip

PS7AB and PP5SZ will act as Assistant Checkpoints when necessary. These new checkpoint arrangements, which have the support of the Brazilian National Society LABRE, took effect on 1 January 1997. FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION TO VK6LC'S LACEPEDE IS OPERATION OC-214 " [...] When a group or an individual go out of their way to make a collection for a DXpedition without any thought of benefit to themselves, it deserves to be recorded and publicised. This happened in the case of Mal Johnson VK6LC's operation from the remote Lacepede Is in May 1996 signing VK6ISL. DXNS 1704 [as well as 425DXN 249, ed.] carried a note at the time that the Diamond DX Club (DDXC) had decided to try and raise US$1000 for Mal towards the projected cost of US$5000 for this IOTA New One. Thanks to the tireless efforts of Gianni Varetto, I1HYW, this target was well exceeded, the amount collected reaching, with a US$260 contribution from the USA, a handsome US$1921! This was a tremendous, and extraordinary, gesture on behalf of an operator who has over recent years activated many new IOTA groups in Australia at considerable cost to himself. Needless to say, Mal is very grateful. Hearty congratulations to Gianni and the Diamonds. (This is quite separate from a donation of 450 pounds made by the IOTA Committee, with the assistance of a collection at the Windsor HF Convention, towards the cost of replacing equipment lost by Mal in an accident on his immediately following operation from Sholl Island OC-140)."

From: wd8mgq <wd8mgq@tir.com> Subject: 425DXNEWS: Alert 02/02/97 Rumors..... only rumors.... It's been rather slow the last month or so, and have people asking me why I haven't sent out any alerts. Well, there just hasn't been much activity. Of course now that I'm going to Florida for a couple of weeks that will all change. SA045 PQ8MM 5 - 9 Also counts for DIB35 SA032 CE7AOY/8 7 - 12 Wellington Isl. mainly on 21.260 SA067 ZZ0Z 8 - 12 Also counts for DIB68 only 10-40-80-160 ZW0Z ZX0Z OC025 P29VIG 8 - 11 Via JA3IG ZY3CEJ 8 - 11 DIB62 NA058 K1HT 17 - 21 Also counts for GA002S I talked to Lionel FS5PL a couple of days ago and he told me that he and several other operators will be putting NA199 on again. The expected dates to be 20 - 22. Not sure of what callsign they are going to be using. Remember to keep the rig turned on, you never know when a P5 might show up..... John WD8MGQ

Always next time! A short notice to invite you to visit my home page (URL below) if you are on the internet and interested in HF DX, other hams home pages, or learning more about Australia. *************************************** VK3NDS David Simpson Email: dsimp@tbsa.com.au Packet: vk3nds@vk3bbs >>>INTERNET HOME PAGE<<< http://www.tbsa.com.au/~dsimp/ ***************************************

From: Ray Gerrard <tayno@ibm.net> Subject: 425DXNEWS: Palestine ZC6MPT( Gaza and West Bank) There is the possibility of an operation from the Gaza Strip - Palestine from 12 - 14th February using the call sign ZC6MPT. This will be followed by a visit to the West Bank 14th - 16th Febrary 1997, possibly using own call/ZC6 call- signs. A small group of Japanese operators who are members of the recently formed IARV (International Amateur Radio Volunteers) will be setting off for Palestine on 11th February 1997. Their mission will primarily be Phase 2 of a humanitarian aid project started last June in the Gaza Strip. They will be installing and commissioning VHF/UHF transceivers at hospitals and in ambulances on the West Bank. Also they will be holding discussions with officials about future amateur radio volunteer work. Due to the above commitments there is only a 50/50 chance of operation this time. The operators will be Yoshi JA1UT, Jiro JA3UB, and Teru JA3TXZ. They hope to assist Palestine National operators to activate ZC6MPT from the HQ of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications in Gaza City. Operation is likely to be confined to 14 MHz SSB around 14,190 KHz. Permission to operate from the West Bank is more difficult, and is less likely. However, if permission is granted, it is likely that own call/ZC6 calls will be used. QSLs will be handled by JA1UT. DXers are reminded that the European World Wide Award (Award Manager F6FQK Coucil of Europe)) does recognise Palestine as a separate country already, although DXCC accreditation is still not forthcoming. 73 de Ray ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- Ray Gerrard 9M2OM (G3NOM) 16 Jln Bkt Antarabangsa, Tmn Bkt Mewah, 68000 Ampang, West Malaysia.

When you showed up from NA170 on 14260, the band wasn't open to the most of EU. (From EU almost every IOTA hunter worked HP1XSO/7 in '92 but noone has QSL from him - so there was a large demand against NA170 here.) The 20m is open to EU between 1330 and 1600 and 15m is open between 1400-1500 GMT. 1330 and 1600 and 15m is open between 1400-1500 GMT. Many thanks in advance! Best regards, 73s Zoli

I talked with Lionel FS5PL today and he confirmed that he will be activating NA199 starting Feb. 22 until ? ( possibly 3 or 4 days ). He told me the callsing will either be FS9X ( if he can get permission in time ) or FS5PL/P Also be advised that the OC117 operation might still appear, but I have no information as to what the callsing might be. This operation should possibly start on the Feb. 20 to Mar. 4 Also PY5AA - SSB & PQ5L - CW from SA047 from Feb. 20 - 24 Also possibly S21AM which would be a "NEW ONE" starting Feb. 21 - 23, but dont have any other information on that one Good luck to all John WD8MGQ

An unexpected, unforcasted MAJOR GEOMAG STORMINESS occurred between 17/0600-17/0900 UTC with a Boulder K-index of six (6). Solar winds between 350-425 kM/s occurred at that period of time. This was due to a Solar Filament perturbation which occurred on the 13th February 1997. A summary of this day was K-indices of : 2-2-6-4-2-1-2-2 (0300-2400/000UTC). The Alpha Planetary==17 and the Boulder Alpha ended==18. Meanwhile the Solar Flux (SF)==73 and the SSN==00 (Zero Zero). The reason I submit this info is to inform those DXers and Contestors what a dismal effect on propagation this unexpected event was. Hopefully, we can dodge another propagation bullet during the ARRL INTL DX CONTEST (SSB) on 1-2 March 1997. Hope to see you all then. ALOHA & MAHALO, LEE KH6 BLOOMIN' ZIPPER FLIPPER "Bullet"

Recently, there was a new kit-form PI card available and if my check was not lost in the mail at my hotel in Florida, I should receive a partial kit soon. For $60 the PI2 provides 2 interfaces to my computer: 1) low speed interrupt 2) high speed DMA To begin, a G3RUH modem can be connected to the low speed (9k6) port. Later, however, I would like to experiment with a higher speed data link and another ham only a couple miles away (KB7PWD) has also shown interest. I have read a little about the NEW 56k GRAPES modems, but possibly there are some _newer_ alternatives? TAPR is working toward promoting Spread Spectrum and may provide 900Mhz SS equipment (115k) at some time in the future? Can anyone summarize the current status of amateur radio SS? What are the opinions out there regarding experimentation with higher speed data links at the present time? What are the present/future options for the experimenter on a budget? 73, Brian ke7gh@primenet.com

Decisions, decisions... Anyway, below is forwarded from QRP-L@Lehigh.Edu as posted today. Check with the referenced sources for additional information. 73, Brian ----- Date: Sun, 23 Feb 1997 19:55:28 -0800 From: svecbrdk@well.com (L.Svec,W.Burdick) Subject: [12902] SST INFO: Kitted by Wilderness, Not NorCal Me again. I apparently caused some extra work for Doug and Jim with that last posting on the SST. (Isn't the Internet great? You can make thousands of mistakes at once! No waiting!) ****** Here's the scoop: Because of the timing of the SST, it WILL NOT be kitted by Doug Hendricks and Jim Cates. Please do not send them any SST questions. Instead, send your questions to me, here at my home e-mail address: svecbrdk@well.com Why? Doug and Jim have worked (if not Frozen) their butts off doing 38-specials, and 40-9ers before that. I asked them if they thought the SST should be kitted by NorCal, and the answer was a worn-out "We'd like to, but...." They deserve a break! In lieu of NorCal, Bob Dyer of Wilderness Radio has taken on the task of kitting the SST. He will take all the orders, too. So, while the SST is a NorCal/QRP-L field test, and will appear in QRPp, it is not a NorCal kit. The club price (see below) is good until May 1st, 1997. By the way, Bob is not new to field-test kit runs: he did all of the band module kits for the original NorCal Sierra. PRICE AND KIT INFO The SST is going to be supplied only as a complete kit -- no partials. It includes a high-quality double-sided and silkscreened PC board; a custom, unfinished .050 aluminum enclosure with hardware; all controls, connectors, knobs, rubber feet, etc.; detailed manual; and all parts for your choice of bands. The club price for each SST is $69. TO GET THIS PRICE, orders must be received by May 1st. All kits ordered at the club price will be shipped after May 1st, probably in late May. After May 1st, the SST will be available as a Wilderness Radio kit for $85. I will be updating the design at that time based on results from the field test. Bob will accept orders beginning now, but none will shipped until May. ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Please enclose $69 per kit ordered before May 1st, and $85 thereafter. 2. For each kit ordered, you must specify the band: 40m, 40m/novice, 30m, or 20m. (Remember, this is a VXO-based transceiver, so the rig does not cover the entire CW band. Approximate coverage is: 40m, 7.032-7.042; 40m/novice: 7.105 - 7.115; 30m, 10.105-10.120; 20m, 14.046-14.064. Other ranges are possible with small modifications.) 3. California residents must add 7.75% sales tax. 4. Shipping charges are extra: $3 U.S., $5 Canada/Mexico, $15 DX (other). This is a per-kit shipping charge. 5.

I'm mostly interested in the 30m freq and operation under Win95 at this time. Anyone have further specific information? 73, Brian ----- Please, let us all know what you find out. ----- Brian, I have just started with APRS but find it very interesting. I am using APRS77f for my program and it works FB. As to what you can use it for, I am setting up mine to use for making maps of my "First Due" area in the Fire Dept. You set up the aprs for tracking and the drive the roads making maps as you go. It is also used for storm chasers to keep track of each other..basically it is used to keep track of each others location whether or not mobile or stationary. It is a lot of fun. There is a good book available thru the ARRL that explains it and the program. ----- I am just getting started in APRS. Software is available in a number of places for both the Mac and PC. For information and software check out CLARC's web site at www.clarc.org . As I too am new at this I can not give you a lot of details at this time but the sit should help you out. There are links to other APRS site as well. ----- > Anyone here using it regularly? Not yet, the closest users are Spokane and Yakima. > How does one experiment with it? Monitoring is a good way to get started. > Where is the software available? ftp://ftp.tapr.org/tapr/SIG/aprssig/files/dosstuff/APRSdos/ for DOS version, file is named aprs784.zip ftp://ftp.tapr.org/tapr/SIG/aprssig/files/winstuff/WinAPRS/ for win95 or 3.1x with 32bit drivers. File is WAPRS130.ZIP > What are the frequencies on HF? VHF? 10.151 lsb 300baud packet; 145.79 in most areas but can vary. > What sort of things can it be used for? > Any other general information? See the TAPR website http://www.tapr.org for info on it. You can also search the mailing list archives at: http://www.tapr.org/tapr/html/taprmailsearch.html A search on Alta Vista will get you lots of info too! ----- There is a considerable amount of APRS activity in San Diego County. The two biggest proponents are Pat Bunsold, WA6MHZ the ARRL Section Manager and Del Radant, N6JZE, the Technical Coordinator and Official Observer Coordinator (ARRL). Both have mobile units in their vehicles using excess stuff from Qualcom (they produce Omnitrack). The national frequency as I understand is 145.790 MHz. I am sure that if you send either Pat or Del a 3.5 disk, they'll send you a copy of the program (which includes an extensive manual which you can print out). Both Pat and Del are good in any call book. As to what it can be used for? I suppose the list is endless but probably the greatest value is being able to look on your screen and find the location of anyone using the system. In an emergency you would know who is the closest to the action and be able to dispatch them. On a lighter note you could put one in your XYL's car and track her as she visits the various malls around town. Hi Hi. Lastly, ARRL has a new publication which pretty well covers APRS and all its facets. I think it's listed in the latest QST and if you don't have a HRO nearby you could call ARRL and order one over the phone. The equipment you need at home you already have I'm sure: A computer, TNC, and a 2 meter radio with directional antenna. I live in north county and the APRS node is in the souther part. I have no difficulty hitting it and my QTH pops on to the map on the screen and I can watch all the other activity as folks who have mobile equipment move around the county and the equipment updates position every five minutes. A real boon to ARES, RACES, and watching your wife spend your money. ----- I thought i would let you know that Civil Air Patrol Uses APRS in Arizona All the time. Our systen runs 24 hrs a day. I have a dedicated Computer for APRS. I have a system in my Pick-up and all of the CAP airplanes have systems in them. We know where our Aircraft are at all times. We have one wx station in Phx. We feal APRS is a great tool for our missions. It is used on the ham side a lot but I do not have enough radios and computers to do that too. ----- > Anyone here using it regularly? > How does one experiment with it? > Where is the software available? > What are the frequencies on HF?

From: "Brian K. Short" <ke7gh@primenet.com> (by way of "Brian K. Short KE7GH" <ke7gh@primenet.com>) Subject: Pactor-II vs HAL From: Tobias Port <tport@vector.wantree.com.au> I was slightly annoyed when I discovered the official statement in the packet radio network written by Bill Henry, the president of HAL Communications Corp. (manufacturer of the CLOVER system) putting down PACTOR-II, which is a competitive product manufactured by SCS in Germany. Is HAL so concerned about their market share that they need to initiate a "battle" in the amateur radio world and spread such a bunch of accusations? In the last couple of months, several comparisons between CLOVER and PACTOR-II have been published. Whatever the source was, all serious tests showed that PACTOR-II actually performs better. This may appear somewhat embarrassing, but it is the truth. For example, just see the July 96 issue of the QST magazine which includes a comparison from the National Telecommunication and Information Administration (NTIA) in the US. There should be no doubt that these results are unbiased, especially since the authors claim that the findings were used by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to determine which protocol could be used in case of an emergency. Another comparison with similar results was published in the November issue of the QST. I also talked to several people, and everybody who really compared both modes considered PACTOR-II to perform better, and that is also my own experience. A friend of mine mentioned a test setup which he used to check the performance of both systems: He used two transceivers with ten watts HF output each that were connected to two dummy loads and two modems. A third transceiver, which was connected to an antenna, was used to transmit white noise. When using two CLOVER boards, which were linked over the residual HF radiation of the dummy loads, it required 8 Watts of the noise transceiver to break the link. When using CLOVER-2000 (the commercial 2 kHz 8-tone wide band version which is also mentioned in the HAL file), only 4 Watts were required to break the link. When he used two PTC-II units instead of the CLOVER hardware, he was not even able to break the link with the maximum noise power of 150 Watts, and traffic was still going through! This is of course no standardized test, but it is easy to reproduce and clearly shows the relation of the robustness of both systems. Due to such personal tests and especially due to the comparison of the performance of both systems in real band conditions, more and more people change from CLOVER to PACTOR-II. For example, the entire store&forward traffic of the world-wide WinLink BBS system, which used to be done in CLOVER, is currently switched to PACTOR-II. A similar development can also be observed in the commercial field. So that's what the customers REALLY say, and that's what performance REALLY speaks. One day, everybody will realize which of both units performs better, especially since there is no relevant improvement of the HAL software. For example, the CLOVER hardware is still only able to operate the same few modes, to say nothing of the simple construction which hardly allows any significant improvement of the performance due to the limited processing power. The latest firmware for the PTC-II however, which was released just a few weeks ago, provides another two new modes (FAX and SSTV). Therefore, why not REALLY let the customers decide instead of putting down a competitor's product? If you also want to hear the other side after reading Bill Henry's statement in packet, just check the Internet pages "http://www.scs-ptc.com". The latest PTC-II firmware can also be downloaded there for free. Many items in Bill's proclamation represent his personal point of view or just contain speculations, and have thus nothing to do with objectivity. Although it is entitled "SCS claims vs reality", there are several items that can be proved to be wrong, in addition to its disreputable note. Here are just two examples: Obviously, Bill Henry is not aware of the details on how PACTOR and PACTOR-II really work (although HAL has implemented PACTOR-I in their own units; maybe that's why the performance of their implementation is so poor): The data compression can NEVER lead to an expansion of a file, as a full PACTOR implementation always compares the original file size with the compressed one, and if the "compressed" one is larger, as in case of rare characters when using the Huffman encoding, the original data is automatically being sent. This means that the advantages of utilizing any other, more powerful compression can be used in the same way as with CLOVER, but CLOVER does not include ANY automatic data compression whereas PACTOR does. How do you want to apply an individual data compression when you are connected with a mailbox? And how will you make sure that the traffic can be monitored by a third party - which is not only a requirement of the amateur radio regulations but also most desirable when looking for a QSO partner - when utilizing an individual coding? Virtually all modems (including phone modems, etc.) nowadays include an on-line data compression, it is thus a "must" for any up-to-date technology. How can it be an advantage not to offer this feature? The on-line compression mode provided in PACTOR-I is matched to plain text, which is transferred most frequently. It hence already represents a basic standard for all systems. PACTOR-II even includes six different on-line compression methods in addition to the run-length encoding, and automatically applies the most effective one. A still more important item is the comparison of the simulator tests. To justify their assertion that CLOVER provided a similar robustness as PACTOR-II, HAL supposed that SCS had used 500 Hz bandwidth instead of 3000 Hz as they did, which would - according to HAL - lead to a better result for the SCS units. This shows that they have not even understood the very basics, as in this case the results for PACTOR-II must have been much worse! If you spread the noise over 3000 Hz to disturb a signal with a bandwidth of 500 Hz, the effect will of course be much less than if you concentrate the same noise power in the small bandwidth of the "target" signal. This means that, if SCS had actually done the tests in the way as Bill Henry claims, PACTOR-II would still work in conditions with an SNR down to minus 26 dB when using 3000 Hz noise bandwidth rather than only down to minus 5 dB, as HAL concluded. This is a nice example of their "know how". How can these guys seriously talk about any simulator measurements? As you can see in their publications, SCS of course also did their simulator tests according to the CCIR standard. This means that you do can compare both measurements, and that PACTOR-II is really able to keep a link and transfer information in conditions with an SNR down to minus 18 dB, whereas a CLOVER link already breaks if the SNR falls behind minus 5 dB. This message is not considered to be an assault on HAL. The intention was just to correct some of their "facts". I have known this company for a long time. They developed nice equipment already many years ago, and I still consider them to be honest. Nevertheless, each digital operator has to decide for himself which mode he prefers (and should be able to do so). On the other hand, it is not my intention to prevent people (like me) from telling their personal opinion. However, it is surely no good policy of a company to put an affront upon a competitor in the international packet radio network. Therefore, I hope that such "statements" will not happen again.

You can also accomplish the same thing with a hard reset -- this is perfomed by turning off the power, placed the jumper of J7 across both pins and then turning on the power. The 2 pin jumper, J7, is appropriately labeled on the KPC-3 PC board. Remember to power off and replace J7 in its original position across 1 pin only. Now, if you want to exit KISS without losing your stored values do the following: With a computer attached to the serial output of the KPC-3, Press and HOLD the ALT key while typing in the numbers 1 9 2 from the NUMERIC KEYPAD (will not work from regular number row at top of keyboard). Then press and HOLD the ALT key and type in numbers 2 5 5 again from the numeric keyboard. And finally repeat the first step, i.e. press and hold the ALT key while typing in the numbers 1 9 2 from the numeric keypad. Best of luck, Dan, W5DF

If this doesn't change the mode of the tnc you can try a hard reset. Open the tnc and locate the reset jumper J7. Place the jumper accross both pins. Apply power to tnc and if the terminal program is set at 1200 baud the display will read: CHECKSUM OK RAM OK xxxK BYTES CLOCK NOT PRESENT REPLACE TEST JUMPER Turn off the powner to the tnc. Put the jmper J7 back to the original position and close up the tnc. I don't know if you did the 192 255 192 code right but I have done it and it works ok. Maybe You might have used the wrong numeric numbers. Hold down ALT key and type 192 on the Numeric KEYPAD (NOT THE KEYBOARD NUMERIALS.) Same for 225 and then do 192 again.

From: lhalliday@creo.bc.ca (laura halliday) Subject: [BitBucket] Too much fun on 10 GHz I've been having way too much fun with this lately, and thought the list might like an update... A while ago I bought a couple of ex-intruder alarm X band Gunn oscillators at a flea market. They work; with detector diodes in the feedhorn they make fine WBFM transceivers - tune one to 10.1 GHz, the other to 10.2 GHz and use a 100 MHz IF, Gunnplexer style. My IF radios are a couple of cheapie AM/FM transistor radios I bought at Radio Shack. The modulator for the Gunn diodes is a regulated DC supply with provision to put a few millivolts of audio on the DC, frequency modulating the oscillator. Fun! Of late I've added to the setup. There was an ad in the 4/1996 issue of VHF Communications that offered Ku band satellite TV LNBs, already converted to 10 GHz. So I bought a pair. Their LO is a 9.0 GHz DRO, so I needed some way of converting the 1.2 GHz IF (I've been using frequencies around 10.2 GHz) to 100 MHz. The result was a junkbox converter consisting of a MAR-6 preamp, a TUF-5SM mixer and a POS-535 oscillator for the LO (the local Mini-Circuits representatives know me :-). Plus supporting DC stuff, including a voltage divider and trimmer pot for the VCO. For good measure I added a low-pass filter on the IF output. I laid the board out with scotch tape and guesswork. It works fine. I don't actually have anything in my junkbox that will make 1100 MHz noises, so I tuned the VCO to 366.666 MHz, knowing that diode mixers respond on odd harmonics, albeit with higher conversion loss. Again, it works fine. One nice data point is that my original frequency measurements, done with a ruler, a piece of PC board and a multimeter said 10.2 GHz. With the well-calibrated DRO (9.0 GHz +/- 0.01% according to the label), I now make it 10.216 GHz, +/- 900 kHz. Signals from one end of my shack to the other are full quieting on both systems, but I have several LOS paths (10-100 km - I live on a hill) from my apartment parking lot. We'll see. :-) I note that wideband seems terribly unfashionable among hard-core microwave types. Could it be that the emphasis on weak signal narrowband DX operation has discouraged the development of around town utility microwave operation? References: Microwave Handbook (RSGB).

Many of you may be familiar with APRS especially since the recent articles in QST and other publications. This software is available for DOS, MAC, and Win 3.1/95. Personally, I just started using it last week and it is fun! First I tried VHF (2m, 145.79 1200 baud AFSK packet) and then HF (30m, 10.151 lsb 300 baud packet). It is neat to see the stations pop up on the map around the US and even DX (on HF)... The way it works is that you mostly monitor for packets which contain position (location) or WX information, but occasionally you transmit packets of your own containing information about your own station. When you do, the information pops up on the screen/map of all the other monitoring stations. Some stations connect GPS units to show position changes in motion... What does this have to do with QRP? Well, first of all the power and antenna gain are ALREADY a part of the beacon information... Second, folks are interested in portable/mobile configurations that can be devoted to APRS operation: palm-/lap-top computer, HF packet TNC, radio (and possibly GPS). A recent post on the TAPR APRS mailing list lamented the *possibility* of a $199 30m rig just for this one application/frequency. I immediately thought of a "QRP" rig... So far, I have used my FT-990DC/PK-232/half-sloper at 50w and have shown up on maps around the US. My plan is to reduce power to 5w and test the concept at QRP levels with existing equipment, but a dedicated "APRS QRP Radio" and a less power hungry TNC would be the ultimate for portability... Watch for my "QRP APRS" operation on 30m (10.151 lsb) starting today. (If this works out AND interest warrants, test 2 will be IC-706, OutBacker, PK-232, and laptop all powered by battery and at QRP power levels, but the the battery won't last too long with that equipment!) Maybe all of this has been done? Maybe I'm mixing apples and oranges? What do you think? Brian ke7gh@primenet.com >or< http://www.primenet.com/~ke7gh

From: lhalliday@creo.bc.ca Subject: [BitBucket] Getting started on 10 GHz A number of people have asked about more information on 10 GHz, so here's a reading list to start with. If you've already seen a version of this list on AMSAT-BB, please accept my apologies for the duplication. The LNBs are indeed ex-satellite TV stuff, and I *do* plan on playing with 10 GHz ATV - transmitting voice with such equipment is ridiculous overkill. I got them through KM Publications, the folks who publish VHF Communications. They're on the web. Books books books...from the RSGB, buy the Microwave Handbook. All three volumes. It's not cheap, but it's money well spent. From the ARRL, buy the UHF/Microwave Experimenter's Handbook and the UHF/Microwave Projects Manual. A non-obvious (and inexpensive) choice from the RSGB is Practical Transmitters for Novices, which has a very good chapter on 10 GHz. This was my primary reference on the subject, BTW. The RSGB VHF/UHF Manual is due for an update but still worth a look. Magazines? DUBUS, UKW-Berichte/VHF Communications. The Above and Beyond column in 73. The RSGB Microwave Newsletter. Microwaves and RF is a professional journal, both fascinating and heartbreaking (especially the test equipment ads - sigh). Conference proceedings are nice to have, but the ARRL's always seem to go out of print immediately. Look for collections like DUBUS Teknik and the UHF Compendium. You can find pointers to all this stuff on the Web.

From: Stan Wilson <microres@crl.com> (by way of "Brian K. Short KE7GH" <ke7gh@primenet.com>) Subject: [BitBucket] QRP Inflection Point ? -- QRP Inflection Point ? I have enjoyed the hobby of amateur radio for over 45 years. During that period I have had the privilege of being in the grand stands when major changes (inflection points) occured in our hobby. I seen SSB go from home brew 5 and 10 watt amplifiers with monster capacitor banks to the sophisticated solid state rigs featuring DSP of today. Packet grow from 25 users to thousands and FM from converted taxi cab radios to pocket size units communicating through satallites. Each of those were but a ripple at the start and hardly noticed by the amateur community. Today, I believe we are standing at the next major Inflection Point in our hobby. No, it is not QRP operation. It is the ability to communicateat QRP levels with high reliability. The technology has been available for the past several years. However, only now have a few (less than half dozen) reduced it to amateur use. The real hero of a QRP QSO is the operator that can pull a signal out of the noise level. Anyone can run microwatts. Very few have the ability to build a world class station that can receive a -20 db signal in the. noise and QRN of today's amateur bands. Today experiments are being conducted on 3591 khz with BPSK for both CW and ASCII text messages. Those experiments are being done at low power levels (1 watt). The amateur experiments grew out of efforts by the Lowfers running similiar tests on 175 khz. In both areas there has been success. What do you need to get into on this next major development in our hobby ? 1) A stable transmitter and receiver (xtal control will work) (a simple modification to a NorCal 40A) 2) A watt or so of power (you know how to do that) 3) A computer, an old 286 or 386 running 20mhz to 40 mhz (cheap today) 4) Software (available for downloading from longwave web page and or ve2iq's web page on the internet) 5) A simple circuit from Jan 92 QST for receiving.(I think kits are are still available) I used a radio shack board and a little wire. 6) A simple Ex-Or driver for keying your xmitter So we are standing at a major Inflection Point in low power amateur communications. You can look backward and build a old TNT xmitter and regen receiver, OR look forward and modify your station for the next decade of communications. The choice is yours. de Stan AK0B microres@crl.com ----- In response to some of the questions: References: Longwave web page http://members.aol.com/lwcanews/index.html ve2iq web page http://w3.ietc.ca/home/bill/bbs.htm The present amateur BPSK orgin was Coherent CW. The orginial petit filter was not an easy construction project. However, the DSP board (without a DSP chip - just logic chips) from January 92 QST is an easy project and only cost about $20 for the parts. I think the kit was or is around $65 (check with ve2iq). Complete circuit is in the QST article so can homebrew the DSP circuit. Computer: You need something a little faster than a XT, but do not need a 486 or MS Windows. Program is called Coherent.zip Version 5.6 available on the Longwave page. Anyway that is the zip file you need. Lots of backgroung stuff on both pages. Look around. BPSK is a few db better than coherent CW. The program will allow bits of up to 5 msec. The old CCW was 100 msec. The program allows change from the keyboard. de Stan AK0B ----- QST January 1992 page 23 "A Receiver Spectral Display Using DSP" by Bill de Carle VE2IQ QEX February 1994 page 25 A DSP Version of Coherent-CW (CCW) by by Bill de Carle VE2IQ Also in the ARRL Handbook 1993 or 1994 issue. de Stan AK0B

A good hard bound book costs a little bit to produce, the Handbook's price is still a bargain if you look at other similar technical books. Now, I agree that there is a bit of a price gouge when it comes to ARRL CD-ROMs -- If one pays the annual subscription rate for QST, er dues to ARRL, why should they have to pay $40.00 to get an electronic copy of the magazines (which costs a couple of bucks to 'print') ...

I have been reading it for many years and referring to it often both as amateur and engineer. I've bought it many years and when I couldn't afford to buy it I borrowed it from the public library. I have found that it does change and keep up with the state of the art. The older issues had data on many vacuum tubes that are all but obsolete today. The newest issues have information about computer interfacing standards. What more can we expect? Sure the basic theory hasn't changed of the behavior code for hams but the technical construction information has surely kept up with what new components are being used and available to hams. I knew some engineers who referred to us hams as half a pigs rear but they kept a copy of the ARRL handbook on their book shelf too. If you ever did any technical writing you would understand how difficult it is to assemble such a publication. Sure there have been some errors - but they do get corrected in subsequent years. If you find any I am sure that ARRL will consider your correction. If you think the book isnt worth it dont buy it. Most hams think it is a bargain and those that don' borrow it. But please don't knock it because it is not just a reference of how to construction data - it is the definition of what many of us think ham radio is all about. 73 Bob W2ILP ----- Submissions: bitbucket@primenet.com Administrative requests: majordomo@primenet.com WWW: http://www.primenet.com/~ke7gh Questions: owner-bitbucket@primenet.com

The point that I was trying to make is that the HANDBOOK has failed to keep up with the times. If you look at the latest issue of the HANDBOOK you will find that all the high output VHF and UHF RF amplifiers in the construction section are tube type. I have looked high and low for a publication that has good RF amp projects for above 50 mhz and I haven't found any. You are right in the fact that a dictionary doesn't change, But as words are added to the english language the are added to the dictionary. I have found that construction projects for the VHF and UHF bands have been ignored. I would much rather build a 500 watt solid state amp than the furnaces that are currently featured in the HANDBOOK. I have been in amateure radio for more than 35 years and have built a lot of equipment over the years. My first SSB XMTR was homebuilt 20 watt double sideband on 160 meters. The point that I am trying to make is that there places that the HANDBOOK need to be modernize. I agree with the idea of making the handbook looseleaf and purchasing updates, this would reduce publishing costs and the league would make more off of the sale of updates. And the more they make in profit off publications lower dues would be. I hope someone in ARRL subscribes to bitbucket and passes on the info. Bill Chambers, n0mbw Springfield, Mo. -----

Date: Wed, 12 Mar 1997 00:06:07 -0500 (EST) Cc: steve@grex.cyberspace.org (STeve Andre') Bill, the ARRL handbook has absolutely changed significantly in the last 20 years; its changed even in the last five. Being a reference book, I would expect that large sections of it to be stable from year to year. Being a technological reference, I would expect it to change in part over time, which it has. I am *hardly* an apologist for the ARRL: I have let my membership in that organization drop many times as I am tired of their generally too conservative approach to the political, and their backward looking attitudes. *However*, the ARRL has truely changed their publications, such that they are among the best in the field. Not only does it take time to find good authors to create technical articles, but it also takes effort to create reasonable projects that an enthuiastic ham can build. There is a balance between neat projects that nearly no can build (becuase of the cost) vs. simple projects that anyone could build (but wouldn't want to). For every state-of-the-art article there will be grousing about component availability, yet simplistic things garner the interest of the newcomers only. Thats a fine line to walk. So the ARRL does what it can, and overall, their publications are amazingly well done. Is there room for improvement? Sure. But I would rather see other parts of the oganization changed first.

Ham Radio was one of the few magazines worth reading for the technically inclined (VHF-communication/UKW-Berichte and DUBUS are two others (yes, I also subscribe to QEX and Comm.Quart.)).

The handbook trys very hard to satisfy the needs of all but the state of the art takes off in many directions. I am a VE and so realize the needs of new hams. I also relize that the number of new RF transistors and MMICs developed for VHF use grows yearly. The handbook trys to keep an even balance but should get more input from hams in regard to such things as recent VHF/UHF solid-state development. If the handbook suceeds in helping hams be more than appliance operators it is serving its purpose. Hams who have built their own unique gear have and can continue to share it with others via QST and Handbook construction articles. Far-Circuits has PC boards that are being sold at near cost that can enable us to duplicate some projects. Hams that are professionals have and should continue to provide updated information. Ofcause hams like college students can always blame the text books - but we would all benefit by reviewing some of the basic theory from time to time - including me. 73 Bob W2ILP

MULTIPLIERS: "NOTE:" ((( Starting in '97, JA 0 thru 9 call areas are now included as additional multipliers.))) Each DXCC country, including first QSO with W, VE, VK and JA will counts as a multiplier on each band. Each call district in W, VE, VK and JA will count as an additional multliplier on each band. Also, each continent (6) will count once, not once per band. QSO POINTS: Count 1 point per QSO. Same station may be worked on other bands. Duplicate contacts on same band receive zero points and must be clearly marked in the log.

Your comments would be much appreciated. Please include them with your log. COMMENTS: By Rich N6GG, This is a 48 hour contest, but only 30 hours operating time allowed for single ops. The time off periods must be 3 hours minimum length and listed in the summary sheet. This contest gets great activity from all over the world. Try to plan your off times to be during the least productive time of day, such as when propagation does not favor your area. The fact that W/VE/VK/JA call areas count as separate countries on each band means that CQing should be the most productive way to make a good score for the W/VE/VK/JA ops. Also, band multipliers helps to alleviate the QRM on the high bands, by spreading out the CQers to other bands. Don't forget the WAC bonus of six multipliers. _ __________________________________________________ _ / ) | Ron Stailey, K5DJ (ex:ab5kd) | ( \ / / | 504 Dove Haven Drive | \ \ __( (_ | Round Rock, Texas 78664-5926 | _) )__ (((\ \> |/-) (512) 255-5000-(Shack Phone) (-\ < / /))) (\\\\ \_/ / E-Mail- k5dj@easy.com \ \_/ ////) \ / Remember: \ / \ _/ Big antennas high in the sky work better |\_ / ) / | than little ones close to the ground.... | \ ( / / |_________________________________________________| \ \

Dear Brian, Below is a copy of a 'News Letter' which I have prepared describing the current situation regarding the HQ mode and the "unofficial/pirate" implementations that have appeared ! If you could make this information available to other SSTV'ers, so they know what is going on ! It is really up to others if they want to prevent the HQ mode having the same fate as has unfortunately happened to the Martin 1/Scottie 1 modes with all the various implementations being slightly different. Brian, any comments or feedback, is most welcome, as always..... Best 73's Martin G3OQD ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------- HQ MODES NEWS UPDATE 2 March 1997 Dear Robot 1200c/SuperScan 2001 user, The HQ mode was introduced at the end of October 1996, to provide improved picture quality and reduced transmission times compared to the currently popular 'Martin 1' and 'Scottie 1' modes. At least part of this improvement in quality, is made possible by the precision and accuracy of the crystal oscillators in the Robot 1200C and SuperScan 2001, originally added to work with the synchronous modes like Martin and Scottie. The HQ mode has been specifically designed to work with these dedicated scan converters and takes advantage of their particular characteristics. To avoid a repetition of the Martin 1/Scottie 1 'sloping picture' phenomenon on PC based software systems, and errors in colour registration, other SSTV software developers, have been asked to satisfy the precise timing parameters of the HQ mode and verify the performance of their systems with the HQ mode designer before releasing this mode on their software. However, despite this request, one company, G. V Associates, who produce WinPix Pro, have secretly reverse engineered the HQ mode, presumably from signals received from the 1200/2001, and now have HQ mode on their system, which was released around the beginning of February 1997. As a user of the V4.6/V1.6 EPROM you should be aware that this implementation of the HQ mode does not conform to the original specifications, as might be expected from the way the parameters were obtained. You can recognize these transmissions as they do not have the yellow writing on blue background callsign identification which you will be familiar with from your own transmissions. Due to timing inaccuracies you will observe more ragged verticals from these transmissions. There is also a problem with picture starting, as it is almost impossible to start the Robot/Superscan on these transmissions if the VIS start-up code is missed. This system is ruining the HQ mode and spoiling the hobby for ALL slowscanners. To make matters even worse there is now a 'Freeware' version of this software called "WindowSSTV" which may be downloaded from the Internet, so you can try it and verify the problems, I mention, for yourself. If you have any comments or suggestions please write and tell me:- E-Mail -> memmer@stcssl.co.uk.

I do think the handbook has changed a lot, my last copy was 1987, too, and I just bought a 1993 hardbound copy at a used book store for $8.00. FYI I did see a copy of the Handbook on CD offered for sale a few weeks ago by Bill Sabin, W0IYH, for about $10 less then the list price. (rec.radio.swap). It was gone in a heartbeat. Now FLAME ON: I think n0mbw is correct that much of each year is boiler plate that costs the league nothing, they only pay for new chapters. If my understanding is correct they use (where possible) Hams with a good track record as writers to produce new material for the handbook, or revise old chapters. Many of the how-to parts are reprints from QST, so that material is already paid for. Now to the meat of my flame. IMNHO, The ARRL is supposed to encourage HAM Radio. I think they could do that better by selling their pubs at cost to libraries and schools. Even better would be a program encouraged by the league where local Ham Clubs could buy ARRL Pubs at cost specifically for donation to libraries and schools. I also think the Handbook should have been published as a loose leaf format with a big binder. Want to update?, buy a $5.00 update packet with new material, not a $40.00 book that changes with glacial slowness. The cost of a CD Rom is in the computer ready text. All publishing uses computer text anymore. It costs them very little more to produce the CD version of the Handbook, and it is a lot cheaper then the printing costs of the paper version. They are really guilty of price gouging on this one. Flame off. Just my opinion Now what I'd like to see is some CD's with back issues of Ham Radio on them, or a Ham Radio Antenna Compendium 1975-1985. How about that CQ publishing? 73's Jim KA6TPR

Of necessity there are a variety of ways of assessing the talents, skills and abilities of personnel. Much depends on the view of the unit leadership as well as the assigning officer. In general, good units have a thorough knowledge of their personnel and have them listed in appropriate categories. Depending on the depth of a unit, and its likely assignments, personnel may be categorized in these GENERAL areas: Operations, Administration, Management and Technical. Training can be placed in either Operations or Management. Experienced emergency coordinators and radio officers soon become aware of the level of abilities required for specific OPERATIONS assignments of their communications unit participants. Here is one way to consider it, focused around the ICS field application: EOC level 3 (Emergency Operations Center IC level 2 (Incident Command) Staging level 2 (ICS Staging or marshalling area) Aides level 1 (Formerly called "Shadows". They who accompany the person to whom assigned, such as the Incident Commander, Operations Chief, etc.) NCS level 3 (net control station) The abilities required for the Aide ("Shadow") operator are the most demanding because the physical exposure to hazards of the incident by literally accompanying the person everywhere he/she goes. For Amateur Radio Service licensees, it helps to expand your expectations of where you will be assigned. If you expect to "only operate your own equipment or only on Amateur frequencies" you may be missing out on some of the most rewarding opportunities you will ever face.

(Automatic Packet Reporting System) What is GPS (Global Positioning System) Where am I? Where are you? Where is the Hurricane? What is the weather like? Where are the emergency vehicles? APRS is a system used for tracking people, weather, objects, weather balloons, and many other aspects of Amateur Radio. APRS was developed by Bob Bruninga, WB4APR, and was first introduced to the Amateur Radio community at the ARRL Computer Networking Conference in 1992 in New Jersey. Over the last couple of years, APRS usage has grown and expended all across the country, and many new features have been added to this system. Keith Sproul, WU2Z, introduced the Macintosh version of APRS at the 1994 Dayton Hamfest, and released the Macintosh version of the APRS software at the 1994 ARRL Digital Communications Conference in Minnesota. This goal of this Special Interest Group is to create a forum for people interested in this type of activity so that they can ask questions and compare notes and exchanged ideas. We will discuss things pertaining to APRS itself, GPS, GPS units applications of this type of technology, automatic weather reporting, uses of APRS in public events such as bike-a-thones, and uses of APRS in emergencies. The mailing list is maintained at the TAPR internet system.

This mailing list is for the discussion of topics related to the application of spread spectrum communications technology to amateur packet radio networking. The emphasis of this SIG is on the technology of spread spectrum rather than regulatory or political issues. Suitable topics include: - New SS chipsets and modem products, and their applicability to the amateur service - Performance reports on existing products (e.g., Part 15 WLAN devices) - Relative merits of direct sequence, frequency hopping and hybrid approaches in amateur SS applications - Use of CDMA and other multiple access techniques to build packet radio LANs/MANs - Dealing with shared allocations and interference in the UHF and higher amateur bands - Proposals for development projects in amateur packet SS - Sources of SS information on the Internet and elsewhere: books, articles, web pages, FAQ files, etc The TAPR SS SIG is unmoderated. We would like to keep it that way, to encourage the open exchange of ideas and minimize the turnaround time. This will only be possible if the participants exercise some restraint. Discussions of technical issues can get heated at times, but they are not useful unless they also shed some light on the topic. Personal attacks will not be tolerated, and may result in the offender(s) being summarily removed from the list. Maintainer of the SIG is Barry McLarnon, VE3JF.

I was wondering if anyone has seen recent publications of a similar nature from other countries' ham radio organizations such as RSGB. How do there efforts compare ? Maybe the ARRL could learn something ? My personal belief is that the ARRL could do a much better job of presenting 'state-of-the-art' material such as construction projects that will pave the way towards better band utilization eg get us all onto microwave, high data transmission etc etc cheaply in droves !

I have tried to make it as generic as possible, without including un-necessary details. My idea is to get an idea of the overall design and how the pieces of the puzzle will fit together. I don't won't to lose sight of the forest for the trees, if you know what I mean. \/ | | +---------+ +---------+ +-----------+ | | | | | | |<---- Voice +-----| RF |<-->| SS |<-->| DATA |<>--- Ethernet | Section | | Section | | Interface |<>--- RS-232/RS-422 | | | | | | +---------+ +---------+ +-----------+ Obviously, there is more to the system than this, but it is a start. I feel that with a system such as this, all persons interested in the design can be happy. The only 'grey' area is the interfacing between the SS and DATA Interface sections. How is the data transfer going to handled? I feel that the SS section should have a constant data rate. Only the data rates to and from the DATA Interface section should be varied. The RF section could have all circuitry for translating the data into the RF spectrum and would also contain the interfacing to the antennae. It would also have the IF circuitry, automatic power control interfacing (to the SS section), AGC, and other stuff I can't think of right now. The SS section would do spreading/de-spreading, modulation/demodulation, FEC, PN generation, DS-FH-hybrid control (to RF section?). The DATA Interface would contain rate buffers (FIFOs) for data transfer (for slow mode interfaces such as rs-232), ADCs for voice, interfacing for a front panel (if desired). There is a great deal of planning that would need to go into a project of this magnitude. The above is a starting point. The only thing left to do is decide on how the major blocks are going to connect to each other. Tony KE4ATO

From: "Brian K. Short KE7GH" <ke7gh@primenet.com> Subject: [BitBucket] Misc Subjective HF Rig Ramblings (longish) Cc: BitBucket@primenet.com Well I may have to work hard to get my obligatory 3 posts "on the air" today, but I'll try... The Brown Truck (UPS) arrived at the door yesterday with a COD package: the used QRP+ (it was a very good deal). My first impressions in opening the box were: too big, too heavy (for a "QRP" rig). I was merely comparing to my 38s, though as it is my first and only QRP rig (per se). The size/weight are not too unlike those of previous "small" rigs that I have owned and used (and later sold). Of course, the power consumption of the QRP+ (while no Sierra) is more battery friendly than the TS-50 or FT-890 or IC-706. The TS-50 was a fun rig (bought used with matching automatic tuner), but the combination had significant battery demands and counting the size/weight of the tuner, was not that small. Mine had the CW filter. It was later replaced by an FT-890/AT which I loved. The size and weight were not bad since the automatic tuner was built in, but the current demands (even at QRP output) were significant. I posted current measurements on QRP-L a couple years ago around the time of a personal field day effort (~500 CW QSOs @100w). It had the optional CW filter. It would not operate FSK and it was not possible to use the 500Hz filter AFSK. Since I also enjoy operating VHF from remote places, the IC-706 caught my attention since it covers HF, as well as 6m and 2m in a small package, but there is no builtin tuner. This one has BIG current demands for such a small radio (~1.5a RX with backlight on high and ~5.5a to get 5w out). It is still a fun radio, working Es on 6m with a dipole during summer camping trips. The receiver filtering and noise blanker may be weak (even with the CW filter), but for me it is a keeper. I use it with an MFJ-949E tuner on HF. The QRP+ just arrived as I said, but I have tried it on 30m CW with my sloper and worked a submarine (USS Pampanito, NJ6VT) in SF Bay at Fisherman's Wharf. We had a fairly long rag chew and I received a 599 report running the full 5w output. I am quite aware that others have commented on the current consumption of the QRP+, but compared to the "small" rigs above! It is no Sierra, though (I guess). 1.5a on TX compared to the same on RX though? Anyway, this rig seems to have absolutely NO provisions for digital modes on 20m/30m etc that I can tell despite including SSB. It has a nice digital frequency display and builtin keyer. Having both a paddle and key input is something ALL of the above rigs lacked! The variable bandwidth filtering is sweet! From previous comments, I was worried about RX sensitivity and became especially worried when connecting the antenna made no difference! I soon discovered that the 20db attenuator was engaged from shipment! Seems sensitive enough to me, but I have not tried 12m or 10m etc... I still think it is big and heavy for a QRP rig, but for the type of camping I do (not a backpacker) maybe that and the slightly larger power appetite are acceptable. Strictly on the basis of weight, I think the IC-706 is the winner considering all of the capabilities which include VHF (all mode) and FSK (with narrow filtering) and RX coverage 1-200Mhz. With the ~1.5a RX demand, it is a power pig, though. Since I have the '706 if I really need to "talk" to someone, the QRP+ MAY be replaced by the NorCal Sierra in the future. I doubt it will ever be used on SSB by this OB... Don't get me wrong, it seems at first blush a VERY nice rig, but it is not "homebrew." (FT-757 and FT-990DC were/are good rigs, too, but this is already long.) All this must make me a "Low Power 'Appliance' Operator." What do you think?

From: k0sd@juno.com Subject: [BitBucket] Mitrek UHF radio info I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask, maybe someone can give me a better place. I'm trying to find a couple UHF Mitrek radio's to convert and use on 9600 baud packet. Questions: 1) What is a good place to look for availability on these radio's? 2) What is a good source for a service manual? 3) What would be a good but reasonable source for crystals? I've always worked GE stuff, so am out of my league on this stuff. Any help would be appreciated. Reply directly back to me at k0sd@juno.com. 73's de Stephen, K0SD in NC

Subject: Re: [BitBucket] HQ Modes ! Date: Fri, 14 Mar 97 16:49:14 -0500 From: Bill Coleman AA4LR <aa4lr@radio.org> As far as I can see, no one has ripped anything off. Martin can apply for patent and copyright protection for his inventions, and he can deliver them as he sees fit. Totally within his rights. However, other than the patent and copyright protections mentioned, there's nothing to stop anyone from analysing the nature of an invention and attempting to produce a workable copy of it. In that case, I don't see how the original inventor is in any position to complain about the quality of the copy. If the goal is to produce interoperable inventions, then public specifications are necessary. Your Windows example is exceedingly poor. Windows is nothing more than a poor copy of the MacOS, and Apple defended that duplication vigorously. Apple lost that battle in court ONLY because of a poorly-worded license agreement between Apple and Microsoft that was established for Windows 1.0 in 1985. Bill Gates doesn't have to worry about someone producing reverse engineered products because his stringent license agreements prohibit it. He's a schrewd business man. There have been cases in amatuer radio where inventions have been ripped off. The most glaring example is the NETROM / TheNET fiasco of a decade ago.

Randy Gawtry is a friend and we have spoken about how he might handle the DSP-2232 product going forward. I have encouraged him to think about making the "internals" information of the DSP-2232 available to anyone who wishes to create new firmware and programs for the DSP-2232. I pointed out that Timewave does not have the staff to do such work. I suggested that if outside persons create desirable modifications and improvements he consider a marketing agreement with them. In any event, since Timewave cannot expand the product themselves, I told him that I believe he could sell his remaining stock of DSP-2232's if there was a feeling in the amateur community that there was some way in which the product could receive updates and improvements. I have no idea if anyone wants to try and improve or develop things for the DSP-2232, but if they do I would be willing to assist in making contact with Randy (Timewave) and finding out what can be done.

Short" <ke7gh@primenet.com> Reply-To: ke7gh@primenet.com Organization: ke7gh Subject: [BitBucket] Timewave and AEA Subject: Timewave and AEA Date: Sun, 16 Mar 1997 13:47:32 GMT From: jdreed@mindspring.com (Joe D. Reed) Organization: MindSpring Enterprises Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc The following courtsey of Ray W3HUV I attended the Radio City seminar at Moundsview MN today and at 2PM Mr. Randy Gawtry K0CBH, Pres. of Timewave Corp. spoke on the integration of AEA product line into Timewave. This is the flyer: AEA INKS DEALS TO SELL PRODUCT LINES Advanced Electronic Applications (AEA) has closed deals to sell its product lines to two other companies, but the AEA name will live on. Former Chairman Mike Lamb, N7ML, says AEA's line of antennas, antenna analyzers and cable-testing equipment was sold, effective March 7, to Tempo Research of Vista, California. Tempo will handle all technical support, warranty and after-warranty service and plans to produce the products in the antenna, antenna analyzer and cable-testing line that AEA had been producing before it ceased operation late last year. Tempo will continue the AEA name under a separate division. Lamb says he will assume a primary marketing position with the new division. Lamb said he's excited about the prospect of continuing a role with a portion of the AEA product line that he had a particular interest in. He said he hopes to work on new product development as well. Timewave Technology of St. Paul, Minnestoa- already a major name in ham radio gear -- is buying the rights to all other AEA products, including its digital line. But Timewave president Randy Gawtry, K0CBH, asked the amateur community to give the company a few weeks to set up the new product line before calling. "Watch our Web page," he said (its at http://www.timewave.com). Gawtry says a purchase agreement is in place, and Timewave is in the process of making the product line transition from AEA to Timewave and hopes to be manufacturing products soon. Timewave will have the right to use the AEA name for one year (AEA model numbers will be continued, however). Gawtry said Timewave also will handle technical support and warranty and after-warranty service fo the new product line, which includes AEA's DSP-232 multimode TNC, introduced last year. Callers to the former AEA number are now being directed to either Tempo or Timewave, as appropriate. Tempo Research is at 619-598-9677. Timewave's number is 612-452-5939. following de W3HUV personal notes: After snooping around Radio City's retail shop and purchasing an MFJ-1701 6-position Antenna Swtich I carefully navigated the steps to the lower level where I found only 12 people attending the seminar. It was in close quarters so everyone was close the the podium. Here are the notes I jotted down: The first PK232 was manufactured in 1985. They manufactured approximately 75,000 of them. Timewave expects to be 70-80% running with AEA product line in 3 to 4 months. 100% in one year. some history: Timewave had 2 partners. Mike Lamb and "George". George passed away. Mike got a man to run the business. Mike went to Montana and found he couldn't run it remote from there. Mike came back in 95/96s, let the management go, looked at the downturn in the market, decided not to continue. 1995 market drop and Internet competition. Timewave sold around 30,000 DSP's The PK232 was manufactured in Taiwan and the company there folded so manufacturing was brought back to U.S.A. Start up too costly so PK232 discontued. Timewave will support PK232 hardware and software. They will not, however, manufacture anymore PK232's and no new hardware or software upgrades planned. However, they are open to suggestions on how to improve hw and sw. Timewave will repair and upgrade returned PK232's. Timewave/AEA started negotiations Oct/Nov 96 after AEA declared bankruptcy. At a peak AEA had around 25 people. All Timewave product manuals are on the WEB Site and they "may" or "may not" put AEA product line manuals in there too. As an aside Randy said "All Radio Shack product manuals including schematics are on the Radio Shack Web site." Timewave is not a big operation: 8 people now and may grow to 12 people within a year depending on business. Hope this has helped y'all ! 73 Ray W3HUV Cooooooooon Rapids MN

First, hate to see folks leave, angry or otherwise and I feel badly if something I do causes it in any way... Moving on, I am interested in compiling a comprehensive list of amateur radio book and/or CDROM publishers, etc. Please share with me and others any publishers you are aware of, especially the obscure and esoteric. I just love the esoteric. Anyway, most of us are aware of the two larger publishers: CQ Publishing and ARRL. Still, supplying the contact information or specific literature recommendations are probably valuable. I think a guy in NH may publish some stuff, too... What I would like is the name of the publisher, mailing address, phone number(s), email address, www site(s), names of books/CDs of interest or description of general categories. At some point, I'll try to put all of the information on WWW and make it available by email (here likely unless I'm crucified). Or someone else can volunteer? "Reviews" or other critical assessments of specific works might be interesting, too? "Newsletters" or other specialized "periodicals" are also of interest (to me at least), e.g. "Pactor News", etc... I suppose URLs of those publishing electronically should be included also, e.g. "Jim's Gazette", etc. It should be International, too, not just U.S. as is usually the case... Why, you ask? Because I like publications relating to amateur radio for my own enjoyment and no doubt the group together can read more than I can alone and I value other's opinions about such things. Everyone can benefit from the collective insights. Post your info to the mailing list (preferably). Protection of the guilty/innocent in the FINAL version may be desirable, or not. Some initial suggestions: CQ Publishing, Tiare, the NH guy, TAPR, etc. We have quite a bit of ARRL Publishing information now, but specific critiques may be of interest? Let's try to stay positive (i.e. saying that 73 Magazine sucks -except for the editorials- etc may not be too helpful to me, but...). How about the really small publishers? Hopefully, it will get much more esoteric than this... Just an idea (ignore if so inclined, obviously). 73, Brian

It's whether or not the amplifier is linear (Class A or AB) or non-linear (Classes C through F). Amplifier classes are discussed in all the usual references. Some amplifiers will time their T/R switching differently, dropping out of transmit immediately on FM, while hanging on a few milliseconds on SSB. But that's not the difference that really matters...

Any > other neat cutting edge stuff going on in your town? Just wondering. > Need some ideas for the next meeting. Not yet but soon maybe. :-) My personal philosophy is that all packet systems (even the users) should be thought of as cell sites. I don't think the repeater concept necessarily works that well; if you can get a good mountaintop site (or high tower) it should have a full-fledged "hub" system, not just a simple repeater. That way you're not obligated to use it. If you operate the repeater full-duplex, then everybody must talk on one frequency and listen on another, and that precludes them from talking to each other; they'd have to always use the repeater for all traffic. That may work if you think of a star-topology network (multiple stars connected by a backbone), but then if the service areas of the multiple stars overlap, you have to tie up yet more frequencies so that they can be unique. So while full-duplex sounds like an improvement over simplex, I think it may be less efficient than a sort of random-access collective where you can directly reach anyone that you can hear, and if you want to talk to a more remote system you route through other systems in the most direct fashion. Total bandwidth that the collective can move is greater than for a star. It is also easier to get started this way; all you have to do is find a buddy who can get the same equipment as you, start using it, and then others can join in as they get around to it. No repeater to maintain. But whoever has the best location is just liable to end up routing more traffic simply because he can be heard farther and wider. As for hardware 56K seems much more common in the US than other baud rates between. Microwave could be very fast but is a serious hack to pull off. And spread-spectrum may well become most prevalent in a couple years, especially now that the FCC seems to be making it easier for us. -- _______ KB7PWD @ KC7Y.AZ.US.NOAM ecloud@goodnet.com (_ | |_) Shawn T.

FM will work on relatively simple (read "cheap") amplifiers which can be compared with Class C vaccuum tube amplifiers used for CW and, in the old days, AM phone. SSB amplifiers must be reasonably linear in their input/output capability in order to avoid excessive distortion of the SSB signal. You are right about the bypass timing, etc. but I have found that linearity is the dividing line between FM and SSB amplifiers. FM amps are usually simply keyed on with the PTT circuit of the mic/transmitter. While SSB amps can be run that way, most usually have a "carrier" detect logic that operates the transfer relays. This circuit must have a sufficiently long time constant that the relays do not change during speech, like a VOX system. BTW, SSB amplifiers work fine with FM signals, but usually not vice versa. -- 73, George W5YR (original, not vanity) Fairview, TX

Neat. What equipment are you using? Is it in the ham band or ISM? What kind of range do you get with it? What kind of antennas? So, you do work on some interesting projects. That wasn't so hard telling us about them, now was it? And admit it or not, it probably made you feel good. And us readers feel good by knowing you just a bit better and having interesting projects to discuss. Sounds like a win-win situation to me. At least this is a friendly list; having your mailbox full isn't always a bad thing. -- _______ KB7PWD @ KC7Y.AZ.US.NOAM ecloud@goodnet.com (_ | |_) Shawn T.

Subject: [BitBucket] Beyond 9600b repeaters From: "Len W. Touth" <len@infinet.com> Hi gang: I am a Trustee for a local Packet club. We have a 9600 baud repeater up with a great profile (not too hard when it is as flat as a pancake here in the midwest ;->. Anyway, the idea was bounced around at a previous meeting that we need to go beyond the 9600 baud repeater and take the NEXT STEP in local digital communications. Who knows, 14400, fiberoptic links, microwave gateways, whatever. Is anyone out there on the list currently operating a packet repeater above 9600 baud, and can you fill me in on your success/use rate? Any other neat cutting edge stuff going on in your town? Just wondering. Need some ideas for the next meeting. Thanks in advance. Best 72/3 Len KG8SF len@infinet.com KG8SF@key.com

From: "Brian K. Short KE7GH" <ke7gh@primenet.com> Subject: [BitBucket] Receiving HF? (long question) Living on a small lot in a city with height restrictions, my antennas are limited and especially so for the lower HF amateur bands (160/80m). While 160m DXCC may be out of my current reach, I do enjoy the band on CW during the winter. One of my current goals, however, is the 5BDXCC lacking only completion of 10m and 80m (only 37). On the lower bands (IMHO) DSP (AF/IF) filters are helpful. Still, last winter, my problem was not being heard (running ~1.5kw), but rather hearing on my 55' shortened half-sloper. A receive antenna was employed (160' center fed inv vee) and did have lower noise and provide better copy for many stateside QTHs. The half-sloper did seem to receive better for the far distant states on the east coast (also JA). Many told me that they heard me, but I could not pull them out of the noise. In a series of skeds with N1RJ in ME on 160m, he heard me every night, but I copied him only the third time (he gave me a 589 and I was struggling during fades). The same sloper works on 80m, but generally the inverted vee is used for both tx and rx despite being low. I have modelled the low 160' dipole with ELNEC and most RF goes into outer space. Still, QRO, the problem remains primarily rx (as far as I can tell). For 80m a vertical was suggested, but I lack the area for radials, hence the sloper. Sloper or vertical, many say noise is a more troublesome with vertically polarized antennas especially for those of us who live in urban areas. Recently, it was pointed out that my rig with the RX-ANT IN and OUT jacks can be easily interconnected with a "noise canceller" which is then placed in and out of line by merely pressing the RX-ANT switch. These devices rely on a good "noise antenna" to provide signal which is combined with the "receive antenna" out of phase to cancel noise. Unfortunately, the author of that post was using an antenna better than mine just for the "noise antenna." Anyone have experiences with the JPS ANC-4 (I think) or other devices? Some reported disappointment, but it ALWAYS seemed to be a poor "noise antenna." Anyone have technical, anecdotal, or other performance data under similar circumstances? What is a good noise antenna? What is else practical with poor soil, 35' height limit, and limited space? Obviously, I can't put out a beverage, but some have mentioned the use of small (coiled) loops? Any other ideas? There is likely already sufficient IF/AF DSP filtering. (FT-1000mp both 500hz and both 250hz filters/EDSP and outboard audio DSP) Gotta hear 'em to work 'em! 73, Brian

Well, if you include electronics in general, not just ham-only pubs, there's Electronics Now (Don Lancaster's monthly column will point you to lots of other resources too), Circuit Cellar Ink, Midnight Engineering, EE Times and EDN (the big EE zines, both free if you prove yourself "worthy").

From: SEAB&SHARON LYON <SSLYON@worldnet.att.net> Subject: [BitBucket] HORIZ. LOOP: ONE MAN'S VERSION In response to more queries than I can handle individually, here is my approach to Horizontal Loop construction. VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV For a horizontal loop, make it as big, "round" and high as you can get it. Round is the ideal shape, but even a triangle will work satisfactorily. It won't take any more time to put up than other wires, provides multi- band, omni-directional coverage with favorable take-off angles for DX and domestics. It's also quieter than open-ended wires like dipoles, long wires and zepps. I use use a sling-shot and bottom half of a spin-cast pole, 15 lb. monofiliment and 2oz. sinker to get up a sturdy pull string to pull strong support lines. I go right over the tops of the trees, where the small branches provide a natural spring. If you can, get the line over TWO or three crotches that are strong enough to support the line. That will reduce the stress of downward pull on the first one. Winter is a great time to select ideal branches; -no leaves. Support lines terminate w/2" NYLON clothesline pulleys, thus the whole antenna "floats" in the pulleys, providing distributed stress. Feed it with 450-ohm ladder line or GOOD 300-ohm to your tuner, or as far as you can, then a 4:1 balun to 50-ohm coax to your tuner. You'll need a tether to keep the feed point where you want it and you can use it to pull the ant. around to "steer" lobes. Leave enough slack in supports for for tolerable tension but not a great deal of sag. I loosen it for hi winds. No counter-weights, or complicated suspensions. If/when it breaks, I loosen the support ropes, pull the wire back together and solder it with a Bernz-O-Matic; -it's back up in less than 1/2 hour even if I have to re-shoot a line to re-thread the wire. Home Depot sells the pulleys, and 500' rolls of black (inconspicuous), THHN stranded (flexible), for ~ $20 locally. I also use the black/orange 3/8" "California Truckers Line", (~$55/500') instead of the usual black "parachute" style stuff. The latter doesn't take chafing on branches well. I've got a 1400' hexagon up now and LOVE IT!!! A loop has been a great "Weekender" / vacation ant. too. 72 =s= p.s.

"The New Shortwave Handbook" published by CQ Communications (ISBN 0-943016-11-8) is my only reference. "Beyond Line of Sight" published by ARRL is likewise my only reference for VHF/UHF propagation. "Low Band Dxing" by ON4UN describes some pecularities of the lower (160/80/40m) shortwave amateur bands. For prediction, my only commercial program is the Rockwell/Collins "Propman" software which is largely a user interface integrated with a government developed model (IONCAP). One nice feature of "Propman" is the automatic acquisition of data from SEC via modem (or other hardware if you have it). This allows frequent updates of the data used by the model. It has drawbacks, though, as it is really intended for just single point-to-point path predictions. It does NOT have the graphical features incorporated in the VOA program available via FTP or some of the newer commercial programs marketed for amateurs (with which I am NOT familiar). My experience with "Propman" has largely been as a rough gauge of when to be on which band in contests (in which I rather casually compete, comparatively). I'm always in the wrong place etc... Anyway, I have much to learn, and am too stupid to know what the right questions are? Seems SFI/A/K are most important, but many programs use only SFI. Some use A and some even K (I guess), but I really do not know which? Perhaps someone wiser can point me (and others) along the proper path? MiniMUF shareware is available as is EsProp (for VHF sporadic E). I have casually played with both. I have not seen a good description of the Quadrant Data or how it can be used in quasi-realtime by an amateur for prediction of possible paths for communication on shortwave or elsewhere.

Short KE7GH" <ke7gh@primenet.com> wrote: Perhaps someone else can explain Sun Spot Numbers (SSN), Solar Flux Index (SFI), A Index, and K Index among other many factors influencing shortwave propagation? <snip> Sunspots are superficially dark regions on the sun, first observed about the time of Galileo. More than a century ago counts of the number of sunspots were being made daily, if possible, and it was observed that the number increased and decreased in a cycle with a period of about 11 years. Other characteristics of the sunspots also vary during the cycle, such as magnetic polarity and latitude on the sun. In addition the simple counting has been modified to take account of the size of the spots, but the number reported is still called "Sunspot Number". More recently it has been observed that the ionization of the layers in the ionosphere responsible for the "reflection" of hf radio waves is higher when the sunspot number is large than when the number is small. When the ionization is high higher frequencies are returned to earth, so that, for instance, 28MHz and higher frequency signals are propagated long distances when sunspot numbers are high, but are lost into space when the number is low. It was also discovered that the noise emitted by the sun at ultra high frequencies was highly correlated with the sunspot number. As a result, it is now assumed that a simple mathematical relationship exists between the sunspot number and the noise from the sun measured at a frequency of 2800MHz. The propagation also depends on time of day and other factors. In general, there will be few 28MHz openings between stations at high latitudes when the 2800MHz solar flux is below 100. When the 2800MHz flux rises toward 200 28MHz signals will often propagate between stations far north or far south of the equator(in fact, at very high solar fluxes, 50-60MHz signals such as the lowest frequency European TV channels have been received in the eastern U.S.) Other conditions on the sun give rise to excessive ionization in the upper atmosphere of the earth, so that hf signals are absorbed at levels below the ones which are responsible for long distance propagation. These "storms" cause fluctuations in the earth's magnetic field, called magnetic storms. The A and K indices are two different mathematical ways of describing the variability of the magnetic field. When these indices are high, noise is high and propagation poor for hf communication, in spite of high solar flux values. The activity which gives rise to magnetic storms is also highest at times of high sunspot activity. Hope I am right. Others may wish to correct. Good Luck K8EF

Good Luck > > K8EF Brian, Thanks for a brief and concise explanation. I already had a handle on most of it, but I'm sure that it was helpful to the group. On this last paragraph, I think that I understand it, but I just want to clarify some points. When the A and K indices go high, does that cause the D-layer to become more absorptive, reducing the strength of signals going to and from the F-layer? Is that the main cause for communications problems when the A and K are higher? If so, can I therefore assume that the worst effect is during daylight hours (since the D-layer dissipates at night)? Further, since the higher frequency bands (20, 17, 12, 10) are more active in daylight, they would be hardest hit? And that the lower bands (160, 80, 40) would not be hurt, since they are best at night? I'm eagerly awaiting the upswing of cycle-23, since I've only been a ham for the sunspot minimum.

THE LETTERS U (FAIR) AND W (POOR) REPRESENT THE DEVIATION FROM NORMAL COMMUNICATION QUALITY. HF PROPAGATION FORECAST CONDITIONS FOR THE NEXT SIX HOURS ARE DEPSCRIBED BY THE FOLLOWING NUMERICAL CODE: 1 ' USELESS 4 ' POOR TO FAIR 7 ' GOOD 2 ' VERY POOR 5 ' FAIR 8 ' VERY GOOD 3 ' POOR 6 ' FAIR TO GOOD 9 ' EXCELLENT THE NUMERICAL DESIGNATOR HAS THE SAME ABSOLUTE MEANING REGARDLESS OF THE BLOCK IN WHICH IT OCCURS. A SIX HOUR FORECAST FOR MAXIMUM USABLE FREQUENCY (MUF) DEVIATIONS IS LISTED AFTER THE OBSERVED AND FORECAST PROPAGATION QUALITY WITHIN EACH GRID BLOCK, IF DEVIATIONS ARE GREATER THAN PLUS OR MINUS 20 PERCENT FROM THE MONTHLY MEAN. THE FORECAST DEVIATIONS APPLY TO SINGLE HOP, 4000 KM PATHS WITH CONTROL POINTS LOCATED WITHIN THE GRID BLOCK. NOTE FOR AWN TRAFFIC: PLUS AND MINUS SIGNS ARE INDICATED BY P AND M, RESPECTIVELY PART 2. A PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY OF GEOMAGNETIC AND IONOSPHERIC CONDITIONS AND THEIR EFFECTS ON PROPAGATION FOR THE PREVIOUS ZULU DAY AND A BRIEF FORECAST OF EXPECTED CONDITIONS FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS INCLUDED ON THE PRIMARY REPORT. WHEN PROPAGATION QUALITY HAS BEEN DEGRADED WITHIN THE PAST SIX HOURS OR IS EXPECTED TO BE DEGRADED WITHIN THE NEXT SIX HOURS THIS INFORMATION IS INCLUDED ON THE SECONDARY REPORTS. PART 3: REPORTS OF IONOSPHERIC DISTURBANCES DURING THE PREVIOUS ZULU DAY THAT WERE CAUSED BY SOLAR FLARE ACTIVITY. THE REPORT INCLUDES START/END TIMES AND CONFIRMATION OF DEGRADATION ON HF SYSTEMS, TO INCLUDE THE FREQUENCY RANGES AFFECTED. IN ADDITION, A FORECAST PROBABILITY OF SOLAR FLARE INDUCED SHORT WAVE FADES FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE CURRENT ZULU DAY IS PROVIDED USING THE FOLLOWING CONVENTION: NIL ' LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 1 PERCENT CHANCE OF OCCURRENCE SLIGHT ' 2 TO 19 PERCENT CHANCE OF OCCURRENCE MODERATE ' 20 TO 49 PERCENT CHANCE OF OCCURRENCE STRONG ' 50 PERCENT OR GREATER CHANCE OF OCCURRENCE PART 4: CONTAINS THE OBSERVED AND THREE DAY FORECAST FOR 10.7 CM RADIO FLUX AND K AND AP INDICES. THE 10.7 CM SOLAR RADIO FLUX IS USED AS AN INDICATOR OF THE GENERAL LEVEL OF SOLAR ACTIVITY. THE K AND AP INDICES ARE MEASURES OF GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY. THE K INDEX RANGES FROM 0 (VERY QUIET) TO 9 (SEVERELY DISTURBED). K VALUES OF 5 OR GREATER CORRESPOND TO GEOMAGNETIC STORM CONDITIONS THAT CAN RELATE TO POOR PROPAGATION CONDITIONS. THE AP INDEX RANGES FROM 0 TO 400. AN AP OF 30 IS THE THRESHOLD FOR GEOMAGNETIC STORM CONDITIONS.

From: Robert.Glassey@nmp.nokia.com Subject: [BitBucket] Re: What's Exciting? - BTL? > Someone please tell what exciting projects you are working on > (amateur related preferably)? Hi Brain, and felow bit bucketers, Some folks may be interested in my little project that seems to have taken on a life of its own. It started out just as hacking around with DSP using a PC and soundblaster and has now become "Blaster TeLetype" or BTL, with is a DSP RTTY modem using the PC and Sound Blaster. A receive only version is finished and on the 'net at: ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/ham/misc/btl10.zip and a TX version is in beta test and under development right now, as is a TSR version for contesting or your favourite terminal programs etc to replace an external modem. BTL 1.0 (the RX version) and BTL 2.0 (the soon to be released TX version) are both FREE for amateur use, but you can register if you would like to support development, or I might just give up :-) It's a LOT of work! The TSR version will not be free, neither will later versions with PACTOR etc (one day), since I'd either have to be mad or makeing money to continue writing them! Anyway, I really only intended BTL to be a poor-mans RTTY, as easy access to HF digital modes to encourage participation and have fun etc etc. But the program actually outperforms all but the most expensive modems on the market, so I'm constantly asked to develop it into something with lots of features and modes etc etc, and all that takes a LOT of work! BTL has a web page under construction at: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Heights/4477/ Take a look! So does that make the grade as interesting? Cheers, Rob, G0VTQ PS anyone know anything about the Coherent CW program PCW? The latest version also uses a soundblaster I'm told, but where do I get info? Cheers, Rob

Cc: BitBucket@primenet.com I have CAT controlled numerous Yaesu radios: FT-736, FRG-9600, FT-890, FT-990, FT-1000mp G3RUH (the modem guy) posts a very simple interface that works well with the FT-736 and others. It is comprised of a couple resistors and a couple 2n2222 NPN transistors. I used such an interface with my FT-890 and later adapted it to the IC-706. The text version schematic is available at: www.qsl.net/ke7gh Look for IC-706 computer control. To convert it back to Yaesu again, do not join together the TX/RX data and remove the "pull-up" that I added... In controlling Yaesu radios, please NOTE: there is a Yaesu technical bulletin relating the necessity of a "pull-down" resistor (on data from radio to computer) as the radios do not always conform strictly to TTL levels... In my case, pull-down resistor was definitely necessary for my FT-990. These problems are overcome with the FT-1000mp (of course) as it has an RS-232 jack on back. Mine just came back from Yaesu today after getting all the latest magic implanted. I have built sooooooo many TTL/RS-232 converters: 1) simple 2n2222 as above 2) 1488/1489 (require dual polarity supplies) 3) Max232 (requires only 5v, and likely most popular) The "pulldown" resistor values recommended are 4k7 to 2k7 as I recall, but mine required 2k2 to work reliably, but it is recommended to use as large a value as practical... This off the top of my head (others please amplify and correct). I have faxed locals copies of the QST articles, but don't have them handy at this very time... Please let me know how I can help you further. 73, Brian

This combination allows commands (changing modes, rx/tx, etc) and either uploading or downloading pictures to/from a computer. I know of no specification of the communication protocol and so have no idea what may be "possible" with this firmware. There are other versions of firmware (e.g. the "Scotty Firmware"). Some programs allow editing images on the Robot display with a pointing device (e.g. mouse) connected to the computer. This was likely more useful in the days of CGA monitors on computers. The Robot 1200 also has an input for "Graphics" (actually text) that allows inserting callsigns etc with the suitable Robot accessory (the 800 I think). Seems a computer application for this interface could be developed for the same purpose? Since I have owned my 1200 for only a year or so, others likely know much more. (I did put the Martin Upgrades in myself, though!) A written specification of all commands to/from the Robot parallel interface included in the "Martin" or "Scotty" Firmware has never been provided to me. I also use WinPix Pro which I also enjoy. 73, Brian Brian ke7gh@primenet.com >or< http://www.primenet.com/~ke7gh

From: "Brian K. Short KE7GH" <ke7gh@primenet.com> Subject: [BitBucket] Fwd: SST Prelim Info... On to the real business: Since so many people have been prodding me for SST info, here is the latest. The SST is going to be offered for 20m, 30m, 40m, and 40m/novice. The final parts count is about 77. To put this in context, the NW8020 has 150 parts, the NorCal 40A has 120, and the 38-Special has 100. My goal with the SST was to see just how low you could go and still have really good performance. The SST receiver is a superhet with a sharp, three-crystal filter, operating at a low I.F. (around 4MHz). The receiver uses a novel AGC circuit employing a single LED as both the detector and signal indicator (more on this in the article). The AF gain control and headphone jack are on the front panel. The RF gain is rarely used in the SST, so I put it on the back. The transmitter has *really* fast, exceptionally clean (I mean totally thump-free) QSK with TX monitoring, as in the '40A. Power output is around 2 watts on all three bands with a 13.8V supply, and proportionally less at 12V or 9V. Power out is adjustable down to zero. I decided to go with a varactor-controlled VXO rather than a VFO. Stability is excellent. Frequency coverage (approximate): 40m 7.032 - 7.042 40m/novice 7.105 - 7.115 30m 10.105 - 10.120 20m 14.046 - 14.064 VXO range can be increased by switching in a second varactor. All VXO and I.F. crystals used are *standard* frequencies available from Digikey. The custom enclosure is about 3W x 3.5D x 1.5H", and will be supplied unfinished. Since the box is so small, I went with .050 aluminum to reduce weight. (With a KC1 on the top and an internal 9V lithium battery, the SST makes a great TFR! It so completely out-performs the 40-9er that I wish I had done the SST first :) I'm sending the article to Doug today, and it will appear in the next QRPp. The article describes primarily the 40m version, but component details on all bands will be provided with the kit and published in a subsequent issue of QRPp. The kit will come with all controls, connectors, and cabinet. The club price will be announced in the article, and orders will be taken until May 1 at that price. Delivery of the kits will likely be in late May. I don't know if orders will be taken prior to the publication of QRPp. I'll have to check with Bob Dyer at Wilderness Radio, who is doing the kitting for the club. In any case, there will be *no limit* on the number of kits sold at the club price as long as the orders are received by May 1. After that, field-test data will be used to update the design, and if all goes well it may become a Wilderness kit at a slighty higher price. Stay tuned for details. 73, Wayne N6KR

We will have Central and South America on the schedules for the correct times, and I thank you for the input. One of the problems I have observed is that when we do listen for CA/SA, there are sometimes very few calling. On the other hand, those times may not have been the best. What I would suggest, is that when you do hear an opening and we are not calling for you, one or two of you with big signals try to let us know. We do want to know. Your opening might be just before the East Coast U.S.A., so that will be competitive! Your part of the world as well as the East Coast is a target. 40 and 30 meters are the best bands with 40M starting around 0830. 20M looks to be best at about 1130-1230Z.

Touth" <len@infinet.com> Hi Gang Well, I took the plunge and popped the 45 bucks for that MCM NHR 35 watt linear amp for 2 meters. Not much literature or specs came with it. I have not had the chance to open the case and inspect, but I believe it is fairly good quality for 45 smackers. It neets to see 3 watts input to activate the sensing circuit for linear amplification, and can handle up to 10 watts input. I get 40 out for my 5 watts in. I use it with an HT for the 2m side of my 9612 (the 440 side is the COPA 9.6k baud repeater). This gives my KaNode a gate to the local packet cluster node. Hey, I AM NOT a salesperson for MCM, so no pushing from me. I just think it was worth my 45 bucks to get one. (BTW, you will probably need to set your TXdelay for about 50ms).

I have an Ameritron AL-1200 which I would rate as a fair piece of gear, but with some caveats: 1. When I received it, the safety interlock switch on the top cover was miswired. With the cover off and power applied, the HV supply should have generated zero volts. Instead, it generated over 400 volts DC! Nowhere near the full voltage of course, but lethal none the less. The problem was in the way the transformer primary was wired. The schematic in the manual was correct, so when I re-wired it to conform with the schematic, the interlock worked fine. I sent this information to Ameritron with before and after schematics, but never heard a word back from them. Some things are too painful to acknowledge, apparently. 2. The slow-start circuit was very inadequate, in my opinion. The amount of delay was way too short, only a few milliseconds. As a result, when the delay relay closed, there was a humongous arc at the relay contacts. I'm talking an arc hot enough to light the room. I removed that circuit and installed an Amperite time delay relay in it's place. Now there's a nice slow, four-second warm-up and the amp comes on gentle as a kitten. The previous design is inexcusable. 3. After running some full-power RTTY on 160 meters, I smelled something funny. Upon removing the cover, I noticed the last three or four turns of the 160 meter coil had melted the plastic rods which hold them. That end of the coil is right next to the cabinet, so presumably there was some coupling to the (lossy) steel case. I removed the melted turns, figuring their loss would only increase the Q slightly and not really hurt anything. It did tune up ok, but I never ran RTTY on 160 again. Shortly afterwards, I sent email about this to the designer who said "Hmmmmm... most people don't run RTTY on 160 meters. I'll look into it." I never heard back from him either. 4. During the last RTTY contest, I had been running stations on 80 for about an hour when there was another room-lighting arc and the power output dropped to zero. To make a long story short, the 80 meter tank coil had gotten hot enough to melt the solder attaching the tap, and it let go. In additon, the whole 80/160 meter coil supports had melted and the coil twisted itself into a replica of a slinky toy. In spite of it's "1500" watt rating, this amp can not do it on RTTY, at least on 80 or 160. Better cooling in the output tank area is definitely called for. 5. When the amp was about nine months old, the 3CX1200A7 blew with no warning. Calling CQ on 15 and all of a sudden, a loud bang and the lights went out. Turned out the tube shorted from grid to anode. Luckily there was no other damage, and Ameritron replaced the tube under warranty with no problems. This is no fault of Ameritron's of course, but it happened. 6. The amp arrived from the factory with the glass chimney smashed into a zillion pieces. The chimney had been wrapped with paper which contained the mess, fortunately. The chimney was taped down to the chassis with one piece of masking tape which was totally inadequate to hold it. Just careless planning. Ameritron did rush out a replacement, no questions asked. I do give them credit for that. So as you can see, the AL-1200 has it's problems. I have used it hard for the last year and a half, and aside from the above, it's done the job just fine. However, if I had to do it again, I wouldn't buy one. I'd either get an Alpha or build a battleship-style homebrew. Since I don't care to spend what an Alpha costs, I am building an 8877 homebrew which is about 80% done. It will cost about half what the Ameritron did and should be about twice the amplifier. You'll be hearing it by summer. Anybody want to buy a used AL-1200? I thought so. 73, Bill W7TI wrt@eskimo.com

Perhaps yours was built on a Monday morning and by a pink elephant? Other than an initial problem with TR relay contact alignment, mine has performed flawlessly and at QRO levels on RTTY. I usually back down to 1kw out on RTTY for long term contest operation. I have never tried 160m RTTY, but I did run full legal limit in the ARRL 160m CW contest and had not a problem one (1st AZ multi, too). I really wasn't soliciting amplifier comments at this time, but was merely asking if there is an MFJ/Ameritron reflector...will keep the ones supplied on file, though, for reference. Good luck with the 8877 amplifier, but I like my 3cx1200 just fine: takes a bit more drive, but no grid fragility problems, and impossible to overdrive with my FT-1000mp. MY current "homebrew" project is a NorCal Sierra multi-band 3w CW HF rig for camping and portable/battery operation, BTW. 73, Brian ke7gh@qsl.net

If you're a League member, you get the magazine whether you like it or not. Do you read every last section manager's report in it? I don't think so. Do you look at every last Silent Key entry? No, you probably look for anyone you know or maybe even your name! Speaking of Burger King: When you go to some fast food restaurants you get a paper place mat with your meal. Whether or not you know it, you paid for that place mat. Do you read everything on it? If you find something objectionable on it, do you demand some more fries or another hamburger as compensation for having to read something that doesn't appeal to you? I doubt it! Frankly, George, I suspect that you're really probably like almost every other reader of anything. You read what you want and skim what you dont. Instead of being so hateful, perhaps you should learn to say "please" and "thank you." Maybe you should say "Please don't publish something that, in my opinion, isn't beneficial to the ham radio community as a whole." Maybe you should also say "Thank you for publishing an article about the safe operating of a mobile ham radio station while driving." Oh, didn't you bother to read that one because you thought to yourself that you already know that stuff? Well, guess what, George. Maybe someone else didn't know or hasn't bothered to think about it before reading the article. After reading it, that person decides to be a bit more careful. Maybe someday that person is headed your way on the road and because he or she has read that article and is thinking "safety" as he or she is approaching you, your life is spared. Most of us authors work very hard to come up with material that has the widest possible appeal. Sometimes we are on target; sometimes not. Sometimes we just want a break and decide to write something less serious. Some people appreciate the levity. I'm sorry you don't. However, for another subscriber, maybe that article cheered up an otherwise bad day. Just like Burger King, CQ magazine is a business. Just like any other business, they don't have to serve you. If you will look at the CC line (if you haven't read it yet), you will notice that I have sent a copy of my response to my managing editor. Once your comments make it to the circulation department (and I suspect they will), they may decide that it would be best not to extend your subscription but rather cancel it! In conclusion, I will take a bit of my own advice about manners. Please keep your vitriolic comments to yourself and I'll thank you for doing so!

All launches will use 11-foot-long Super-Loki sounding rockets identical to the rocket used for the successful Wisconsin Rockets for Schools program launch in May 1996 described in ''New Heights for ATV'' (QST, Feb 1997). On May 10, a Super-Loki rocket carrying an ATV payload on 439.25 MHz with GPS data on the audio is scheduled to be launched from Cape Henlopen State Park in Delaware. If successful, the event will mark Delaware's first suborbital rocket launch. Teams of students in grades 7 through 12 are being recruited to assist in designing and building various payload components. For the latest information on the Delaware launch, see http://www.dpi.state.de.us/dpi/launch/ on the Web or contact Sam Guccione, K3BY, e-mail sguccion@outland.dtcc.edu. On May 17, two Super-Loki rockets carrying ATV payloads will be launched at separate times from Sheboygan, Wisconsin, on the shore of Lake Michigan (the site of the May 4, 1996, launch). Current plans call for the first to transmit ATV on 434.25 MHz with Morse code telemetry on the audio, and for the second to transmit ATV on 439.25 MHz with GPS data on the audio. The Super-Loki rocket, which uses solid propellant, can carry the payload to altitudes of more than 30 miles. For the latest information on the Wisconsin launches, see http://phy.mtu.edu/rocket/ on the Web or contact Greg Heinen, KB9OBV, email heineng@orbitec.com, or Bryan Suits, WB8WKN, email suits@mtu.edu. Meanwhile, Bill Brown, WB8ELK, reports that an RFI problem led to scrubbing the planned North Carolina launch from a balloon of an amateur rocket carrying ATV and APRS systems on March 22. The group of space enthusiasts, which includes several hams, will reschedule the launch of the ''rockoon''--a rocket launched from a high-altitude balloon--for sometime in late April. Brown said RFI to a timer mechanism caused the balloon's ''cutdown squibs'' to fire just prior to liftoff. The cutdown squibs are a means to bring the balloon down automatically if ground control is lost. The Huntsville Alabama L5 Society (HAL5)--a chapter of the National Space Society (NSS)--has spent the past two years developing and testing components for the rockoon. The HAL5 program is called Project HALO, for High Altitude Lift-Off. A new launch date has not yet been set.

From: adams@chuck.dallas.sgi.com (Chuck Adams) (by way of "Brian K. Short KE7GH" <ke7gh@primenet.com>) Subject: [BitBucket] USA QSL Bureau Gang, I remember the discussion coming up several times during last year about this not for profit organization. In fact when you get your first card or set of cards that come from them they call themselves a 'not for profit orgainization' [sic]. But, hey it's the 90s. :-) Those who sent me cards I'll be sending you one back through the buro (Morse abbreviation for bureau). Anyway a few cards came through them and they sent me the first set as an introduction, which was very nice of them. Here is information and you have to make the call as to how this is going to fly. It doesn't cost you anything to get cards but the expense of sending them 4 #6 envelopes. You can send in just one envelope, but I figure while in the process, why not do it for 4, their maximum allowable number that I see in print. Or you can send them $5 and they will set you up with 10 SASEs. The #6 envelope is the one that is 6 1/2" x 3 5/8" which those of us that send out our cards first class use. Oh, make those 4 #6 SASE (Self Addressed and Stamped Envelope) which requires that you put your name and mailing address on each envelope with a 32 cent stamp in the upper right hand corner. For the return address just put your call letters in the upper lefthand corner and I would assume large enough to be seen easily, but not too large that the USPS will cringe at it. :-) That will get you cards when they arrive at this organization and they put about 8 to 10 cards per envelope, so if you aren't too active then it may be a while before you get an envelope back. If you are going to send out cards, then it costs you a nickel or $0.05 per card in USofA currency. Sort the cards by district and suffix so that they don't have a headache doing it themselves. Think of the other individual and what they have to do to do this. If possible, put call of station card is going to on back of QSL if it is blank or has address space. Mine has a nice graphic on the back (artist at work) and thus does not have an address space so will use a post-it (tm) to help the sorting crew at the buro. Sort DX cards by prefix and number. What I was thinking of also was an experiment. For the WIMPS (those of you in the WARC Internet Monitoring and Propagation Study starting in April) in this group (I am a WIMP bumper sticker) let's do the following. Let's all mail in 4 envelopes and thereafter for every multiple of 20 WIMPS contacts, send in a buck and the cards. They do send out DX cards for 5 cents each also for those of you going to do 200 countries at 200mW. Getting this group to use them will do a few things that first come to mind: 1. They want a few thousand hams using them. We, as a relatively large economic force, can up their numbers fast. Make them the official QRP-L QSL BURO. :-) They do have on their home page a link to the QRP calling frequencies, so they must be QRPers. 2. Could/should/will save you at least $0.15 to $0.27 cents per card for postage and pay for extra cards. And you were going QSL 100% weren't you?????? I knew you were. :-) QRPers are good QSLers. (tm) 3. Make it one stop shopping for mailing QSLs, cause I know how long it takes to go get the address from a server, fill in the envelope, and go drop each one into a mailbox. Save trees for antenna supports. 4. Save us all a great deal of expense this summer if we chose to QSL and try to get QSLs back for the record or awards or whatever on new bands for some of us. Fill in those hard to get states that never seem to have anyone on or anyone that likes to QSL. 5. And you won't be getting cards that the USPS cruncher gets a hold of. And it doesn't even do good origami. :-) 6. Hey, with all the money you might save, you can buy another rig and/or parts. 7. Don't confuse this group with the ARRL incoming bureau which is to be used for incoming DX cards only. Read the ARRL Operating Manual. Their particulars: USA QSL BUREAU, P.O. Box 814, Brewer, ME 04412-0814 http://members.aol.com/usburo/index.htm (note, there is no L at the end) email: usburo@aol.com or aa1mf@aol.com I browsed over to their home page. Hey, it's AOL, so it was a little bit slow, but it does get there. :-) This is not a push to use on the group them or anything else. Just a note that I think they seem to provide a useful and productive service the amateur community. I don't know of any competing group doing the same thing. Chuck says 'check 'em out'. I don't get free service or special treatment (at least I don't think so and don't want it) for this. Include a note with you envelopes that you are a QRP-L'er. Let's see if they are paying attention. :-) Oh, and for those of you who thought it was cute to get some odd shaped QSL and oversized QSL, check the dimensions. :-) I use a plastic shoe box to hold the cards and there are about 4 cards that I had to take the paper cutter to. ;-) AE4JM I remember doing this to. Oh, that hurt. Remember: we are all using the same size envelope. Send me email, don't post to the group, if you will use the buro or have been using the buro. I'll set up a WIMPS area on my home page to show all participants and those using the buro. By call area. This means if you are a 6 in the 3 call area, you will be listed in the 6 area unless you show me /3 in the call, etc. Put BURO in the subject line and your call in the first non-blank line of the message as you want it to appear in the list. pse qsl via buro dit dit Chuck Adams K5FO CP-60 adams@sgi.com http://reality.sgi.com/employees/adams_dallas/ WIMPS: Qs=000 30m=0 17m=0 12m=0 States=00/00/00

It seems everyone wants a pentium these days so 486 based stuff is cheap. For years I been disappointed with video quality of laptops and really did not have a need to do things mobile. But I liked the screen quality of the unit I bought and the price was right. It is very useful for alot of stuff and I have fun. I was fortunate to get a unit that could still be upgraded. I added memory, a PCMCIA scsi, external CD-RON and a 800 Meg Hard Drive. I also found a couple of batteries. The PCMCIA capability allows me to useful cards that can be transfered when I upgrade.

It is one of the worlds largest construc- tions project. The railway traffic is led from the Sjaelland side into a 8 km long tunnel, bored beneath the seabed of Store Baelt and emerging on the island of Sprogoe in the middle of the Belt. The tunnel consist of two tubes with a railway track in each direction. >From Sprogoe where the tunnels finish, trains continue to Fyn over the 6.6 km long West Bridge along which the motorway also run. On april 6. the the railway link will be opened for goods- traffic. Passenger traffic will begin to use the link june 1. 1997 Cars crossing from Sjaelland to Sprogoe will drive across one of the worlds largest suspension bridges. The East Bridge has a free span of 1.624 km and a passage height of 65 meter. The suspension bridge will be finished in mid 1998 and opened for motorist. 73 de OZ5MJ Jens Palle

You will be happy to know that all files are backed up every morning(2AM) and in the event of a hardware failure the impact will be minimal. 2) I am thinking about running some Ham Radio IRC Chat channels on here. I don't have much experience with internet chat but from what I've seen it's like packet except faster. Anyone with any experience in this area want to work with me getting it going? Any suggestions for topics (DX,QRP,Packet, etc.)? Or should it be just a single channel for all of us to use....much like a calling frequency? Your input is requested. 3) The list-server is up and running! What is this? Glad you asked... There is a UNIX server program called Majordomo ( Yea I know but I didn't name it, means "keeper of the list" in Latin or something) this program allows you to subscribe to a mailing list by topic. Then any mail sent to this list is sent to every subscriber of the list. I have been working with KA0GKC and the Minnesota QRP Society testing this program and all is functional. Again I need input on what topics you want to use this for. I see immediately this is the way to send club news letters (and another way to kick the internet challenged into getting on-line). Let me give you an example of how this will work. Let's pretend we have a list setup called "XXXXXXX" To join the list send an e-mail to list-request@qsl.net with the message subscribe XXXXXXX You will get confirmation that you are subscribed To ask a question or make and announcement send e-mail to XXXXXXX@qsl.net and it will be sent to every subscriber. The answer, or further comments, will also be sent to every subscriber. I think you can see where this will be a neat way to join others in discussions on your favorite topic or topics( you can join as many as you wish) To get off the list send e-mail to list-request@qsl.net with the message unsubscribe XXXXXXX Now I need volunteers to be list managers for topics. I also need suggestions for topics. This is your net so make it what you want!! 4) As some of you know I work for NASA. I will be on a mission from 5/5 till 6/12 and out of internet range most of the time (I'll be in the Arctic, Greenland,Iceland laser mapping volcanos and glaciers and measuring the volume of the IceCaps.) Homepage is http://aol.wff.nasa.gov if your interested Anyway this system will be running on auto-pilot while I'm gone. If it goes down someone will try to fix it but no promises. If it disappears during that time be patient it will be up the instant I get home. However it has been running without a problem since 1/5/97 when I brought it on line..I've never had to reboot it since then...can you tell I'm not using windows95 <grin>. Let me hear from you! 73, Al

From: Brian K7ON Short <ke7gh@primenet.com> Subject: Re: [BitBucket] MFJ Analyzer Cc: BitBucket@primenet.com I currently own the MFJ-259 and it is handy for many things, especially adjusting mobile antennas or such. I previously owned the Autek RF-1 which also worked well, but lacked VHF coverage. For tuning up my 6m loop for mobile/portable, the MFJ is very handy. The MFJ has 2 meters while the Autek has a single LCD display. Personal taste? The MFJ requires more batteries. There is VERY strong AM Broadcast Interference (BCI) at my QTH, so using either on 80 or 160 is impossible without bandpass filtering. The meters or display just jumps around horribly. At our remote ranch, I tuned a 160m dipole with no trouble at all. At this point, I prefer the MFJ, but the Autek is smaller and if your only interest is HF, it is less expensive as well. Just very untechnical, casual comments. Let me know if there are any specific questions. 73, Brian k7on@qsl.net

I like mine. It works rather well as a small signal generator for tuning up antennas. What it isn't good at is acting as a dip meter, it doesn't put out enough signal to do that reliably, but the dip function is useful, especially if you build the attachments featured in issues of QST in 1996. My biggest complaint about the 259, was the cheap battery holders that MFJ supplied with the kit. That being said, it's useful for tuning up antennas, and some traps and coils. It even offers a reasonable means of determining what the approximate SWR is. The SWR readings were really close to what I calculated swr was with forward & reflected power readings & the associated formula (actually I use a computer program to figure it out, but the formula is relatively simple with a calculator). The AEA meter is supposed to work rather well, as does the Autek version. I even know some people that have an Autek, an MFJ & an old dip meter, and wouldn't give up any of them. One caveat though, it's only a tool, if you're near a broadcast band station, you will probably get inaccurate readings especially on 160 meter antennas because of the way the circuitry functions. It can be fooled too, although, SWR meters can be fooled too. If you want one, it's a worthwhile tool, it's just not perfect. -art clemons-

Bill, VK6ZX, will be traveling in the northeast region of Somalia in the town of Galkayo. He hopes to be active for a few hours during April 8-9-10th. His XYL, Diane, VK6KYL, will also be with him. Their callsigns will be 6O0X (Six Oscar Zero Xray) and 6O0YL (Six Oscar Zero Yankee Lima) respectively. The callsigns have been allocated by the political organization responsible for this region (SSDF). Bands of operation are expected to include 20 and 40 meters. There is and will be limitations to access of equipment which is also used for regularly scheduled non-political AM shortwave broadcasting inside Somalia. The times of operation will be ruled by availablility of equipment and acceptability of running the generator (for power) during sleeping hours. Bill states, "The radio station is a peace project which was given a major upgrade 3 years ago with funding from the Boulder Rotary Club in Western Australia and the Australian Government. It has been operational for some 4 years now and continues to have an influence on the process to establish an accord resulting in a Somali Government. The Radio station was established by Sam Voron VK2BVS (6O0A). To date, the most commonly used frequency from this location is 14275 kHz by Sharif (6O0SC) and Abdi (6O0W) have been on air. The equipment available for use includes a Yaesu Txcvr with a Henry amplifier. The antenna is a log-periodic at between 30 and 40 metres in the air. SWR on 40m may be too high for high power. No ATU is available yet. QSL is via my call, VK6ZX at the call book address (PO Box 463 Kalgoorlie, WA 6430, Australia). Direct QSL with green stamp will be answered." CALL BOOK GOING PAPERLESS. Almost every avid DXer has at one time or another used a paper call book, but "TIMES ARE A-CHANGING". Some DXers will be affected by the announcemnet that the printed version of the "Flying Horse Radio Amateur Callbook" will be discontinued. Beginning with the Spring 1997 edition, the callbook will only be available on CD-rom. CY9, ST. PAUL ISLAND. Mike, VE9AA, reports the CY9AA DXpedition will now take place from June 26-July 3rd, due to special circumstances. No other details were given. FY, FRENCH GUIANA.

Peter, DK1RP, will be active from here April 6-12th. He states, "As Jersey is not a very rare country I will try to make some CW-activity on the low bands (160,80,40). As I am travelling by air I will not be able to take 'great equipment' with me, but I will try to find a place with a good offset to USA on the island. Each contact will be confirmed via the bureau." HF1, POLAND. There will be a special event station be active from the city of Gdansk on Polish Baltic Coast which will celebrate its 1000 years birthday. For this occasion there is a special callsign issued, HF1GD, which will be active from now until December 31st. The station will operate on all HF bands, VHF/UHF and satellites. QSL cards via SP2BIK. IOTA NEWS/UPDATES....... Steffen, DJ5NN, informed OPDX that he and others will activate Mando Island (EU-125), a Danish island located in the North Sea Coast Group, from May 1-6th.

JG8NQJ/JD1 is reported to be active and will continue to be active until he returns to the mainland on April 23rd. He prefers CW and can usually be found on 20 and 40 meters after 0100z as late as 0600z and after 1100z (until he goes to bed). He expects to return again in June or July of this year. QSL via JA8CJY, direct to CBA or JARL Bureau. JUST A REMINDER! NH7A which was active in the WPX contest this past weekend, was really Hawaii. Don't get this confused with Kure Island. All Kure Island callsign suffixes start with a "K" (ex. AH7K, KH7K, NH7K or WH7K). QSL INFO AND NEWS.......... Alan, VK4AAR, has recently been appointed QSL manager for Frank, YJ8AA, and he will have access to all of Frank's logs. Frank will be going with some friends to the Shepherd Islands (OC-111) and Torres Island (OC-110) sometime later this year (callsigns are not yet known, may use YJ8AA/p). Alan will be managing these operations also. QSL to VK4AAR per '95, '96 '97 CBA ONLY (The earlier callbooks show incorrect information).

Those interested can contact him at his E-Mail address: HA5PP@hotmail.com (or if it does not work, send your E-Mail to Steve at: Istvan.Bogyo@mdc.hu). S2, BANGLADESH (POSSIBLE NEW IOTA ISLAND IN WORKS). Giovanni, I1HYW, received a fax from Vittorio, I1SLY, stating that a S2 operation "MAY" start April 5-6th. It will probably be from Hatia Island instead of the island that they tried for last month since they could not get permission to operate. This one will be a new IOTA and count for S2 little letter "a". SPECIAL EVENT. To commemorate the fairy tale writer Hans Christian Andersen's 192nd birthday, a special event station will be active, on the April 2nd with a special callsign OZ5HCA. The QTH is Odense where Hans Christian Andersen was born in 1805. Odense is located on the Island of Fyn (IOTA EU-029). Activity will be on 14260 +/-, 7060 +/-, 3670 and 3540 khz starting around 0800z. There will be a special QSL card issued. QSL via bureau. If you want direct QSL you can send it to OZ5MJ, Jens Palle Moreau Jorgensen, Jaegerbakken 13, DK 5260 Odense, Denmark. V5, NAMIBIA. Charlie, W0YG, will once again head for V5 in July, but he will be active mobile. He will be using 500 watts, and will again try 80 and 160 meters. Charlie states, "My signal wont be strong on these bands, but at least I will attempt it with a little different twist in the installation." He also mentions that he is trying for A2, Z2 and 9J licenses. Charlie says this will take time, and he is not sure he can do it in the amount he has left before he leaves July 23rd. XU, KAMPUCHEA (CAMBODIA). Reports indicate Mike, XU6WV, has been active on 3512, 7004 and 7007 kHz. His sunrise is currently around 2304z, and his sunset is currently 1100z. QSL via K0TLM. YN6, NICARAGUA. Hiro, JA6WFM, was issued the callsign YN6WFM on March 12th and expects to be in Nicaragua until December. He was quite active on 40 meters CW in the early mornings. QSLs via JA6WFM to the bureau or direct to: Hirofumi Nakamura, 1311-11 Miyahara-Machi Yatsushiro Gun, Kumamoto 869-46, JAPAN. ZL9, AUCKLAND ISLAND (Update).

The the bpsk generator circuit is as follows: Osc/Divider circuit - I used a 74HC4060 cmos divider with an internal osc. The xtal required is a 6.5536 mHz series resonance available for about a dollar. The output on pin 1 of the 4060 is a pulse at 1600 hz. I used this signal for sync and also fed it to a squaring FF(2) to obtain a nice signal at 800 hz. (Xtal Digikey XO18-ND) The actual BPSK signal is generated with a EX-OR circuit 74HC86. The output of the EX-OR is a square wave at 800 hz. Sync FF(1) - I chose to sync the data with the clock. I wanted the carrier to be coherent with the data pulse. I found the osc circuit in the 74HC4060 to be voltage sensitive. So I add a 78L05A for regulation of the power buss of the BPSK generator. Results: I have a nice square wave with a time period of 1250.07 usec from the 74HC86. The data is in sync with the zero crossing of the 800 hz carrier. Not bad for a couple dollars in parts. I am running the output through a w3nqn passive filter (arrl handbook). Once you get a decent looking output it can be feed into the S-D circuit for testing since Bill ve2iq software is full duplex. Squaring FF(2) -------- ------- 1600 hz ----|---------|C Q |-----------| |--- BPSK | | | | EX-OR | output | ----|D /Q |--- ---| | 800 hz | | |_________| | | |_______| | | | | | ------------------ | | 74HC74 | 74HC86 | | | Sync FF(1) | | __________ | ---------|C Q |--------| | | | | Data ---------------|D | ----------- Figure 1. BPSK Generator (800 Hz) with Sync For receiving you can build the circuit from the QST article or purchase a kit from VE2IQ. It takes about $20 in IC's and can be built on a RS vector board. I think Bill currently gets about $50 for a kit with a nice etched board and instructions. Software is free on his web page. A plus with ve2iq's circuit, If you run the FFT.zip program (also on the web page) and if you have only noise input to your receiver you can geta plot (PC-CRT) of your IF bandpass filter , etc. You should have a 368 machine with 20 mhz although some use a smaller or larger PC to run the software (Coherent V6.0). Have fun - The above can easily be built and tested on a weekend. Cheers, de Stan AK0B

This option can be reached via the Switch MBX option in the AMTOR menu or CTRL-ALT M keystroke. If the TNC mailbox is active the program will display MBX ON in the HF port status Window. - Modified Mailbox options to make it a little more clear to the end user. Mailbox selections have been renamed from Internal and External to TNC and Program. This should make it a bit more straight forward for the user wen selecting a mailbox. - Corrected AMTOR Standby operation for Kantronics KAM TNCs. Program was previously setting the TNC to LAMTOR mode instead of AMTOR Standby. ALT-L may still be used to toggle between AMTOR Listen and Amtor Standby Modes. - Corrected NavTex for Kantronics KAM units. Program now displays correct operating mode. - Adds Transmit/Receive Invert option. This is available in the Misc Menu, Tool Bar and using CTRL-ALT-I keyboard sequence. The toolbar command is labeled as 'A'. The Toolbar indicates the current invert status. if the 'A' is right reading the current status is Invert Off. If the 'A' is upside down Invert is On. - Corrects Kantronics initialization problems where the callsign for MYPTCALL and MYGTCALL were being corrupted. - Corrected Signal Lost indication for Hal controllers. This was being handled as a new connection. Now Signal lost is tranparent to program operation. - Corrected problem with AMTOR operation with HAL controllers. Problem inhibited linking from other stations. - Corrected FSK inversion commands for HAL Controllers. The program commands where reversed. - Added Preview feature to file selector. This is active when selecting files to Transmit, View or Edit. It is not used when opening up a receive file. Allows preview of Text, ANSI, JPG, BMP, PNG and PCX files. - Adds full support for KPC-2. - Corrects MYPBBS connect problems with Kantronics controllers. - Corrects possible loss of connect possibility for KPC-2 and KPC-3 controllers.

From: claude@bauv106.bauv.unibw-muenchen.de (Claude Frantz) (by way of Brian K7ON Short <k7on@qsl.net>) Subject: [BitBucket] Future HF modem standard for amateur radio In my opinion, it's time now, to define a standard for a future HF modem for amateur radio, which can be proposed to the administration in order to avoid the reproach of using a non open coded modulation. We need a high performance, open standard designed to have good performance in the specific amateur radio environment on HF. Of course, the standard should be verified and commented in the community. At first, the objectives have to be defined. Please allow me to start the subject, please comment. The question of the bandwidth is open, it should be compatible with any common CW/SSB transceiver on the market. The maximum speed should be defined too. I think, there should be two modes: a point-to-point mode for classical QSOs and a broadcast mode. The question of the right modulation will probably be a very controversial subject, strongly related to the question of the bandwidth. The standard should be so that the modem can be build with commonly available up to day one-chip microprocessors together with a commonly available memory, at a reasonable cost. The reliability and speed in an enviromnent in which one the QRM and QSB can be strong over a relatively long period of time should be seen a the primary design goal. I think that procedures which try to switch between clear and noisy modes do have inherent problems related to the fact that it is very difficult to signal the mode switching to the peer when the performance of the communication channel has degraded. Another important question is related to the automatic repeat request error control scheme and forward-error-correction scheme. Remember, two modes are needed. These procedures are of great importance in respect of performance and speed. 73, Claude

From: "Greg Jones, WD5IVD" <wd5ivd@tapr.org> (by way of Brian K7ON Short <ke7gh@primenet.com>) Subject: [BitBucket] Re: Future HF modem standard for amateur radio Hello Claude: If we are talking strictly about the rules (and not technical progress), there is no need to further define operations within the rules. If anything, we need to be asking the FCC to eliminate wording in the rules to foster such experimentation instead of asking for changes to define yet another niche that might never happen or by the time the rules are finally confirmed (a 2-5 year process) we have already left behind. As of right now there is no modulation or coding issues limiting HF operations. Well, there are a few, but not in the sense of the context below. The FCC stated four years ago that it was enough to have whatever was being done published in the Digital Communications Conference or other recognized publication that could be referenced. I would have to go look, but the Future Systems Committee of the ARRL requested and got changed the rules that allow new modes to be defined in this manner, instead of having them submitted for rules inclusion. That was one reason we saw Clover, PACTOR and others published in the #11 DCC (http://www.tapr.org/tapr/html/cnc11.html) and others in 13th DCC. All the abstracts can be found at http://www.tapr.org/tapr/html/publications.html. As to a technical standard -- past history indicates that standards from within the ham community before something exists, while providing an excellent intellectual exercise, rarely influences the eventual outcome of a design by another ham(s). Maybe someone can point me to something within the amateur community that actually is an example of this working before something was coded or prototyped. There have been a lot of discussion at various HF SIG meetings and most it comes down to the fact that we need rules within Part 97 to allow us to really get back to experimenting with new modes and moving the art forward instead of being hackled by outdated rules that are in place to limit our impact upon a community that wants good, simple, cheap communications instead of technical expertise and evolution. If anything, let's focus on getting the rules rewritten so that there are no limits to what we can experiment with.

Subject: [BitBucket] : DX Superconducting Antenna] From: k8omo@juno.com (DONOVAN P WHITAKER) ENJOY ,i DID DE OMO AMATEUR RADIO STATION K8OMO@juno.com As DXers, we are always interested in very high gain antennas ... the following letter was written some time ago, but for those who haven't heard about it, I thought it appropriate to share it with you again. 73, Sandy W7BX/7J1ABV -------- I received this letter from an old friend, Joe Speroni AH0A/7J1AAA, who has been living and working in Japan for many years. He is also the author of the well-known MORSE ACADEMY software for teaching Morse Code. Anyway, it was such an exciting letter that I thought it would be of interest to others here on "the Net". Dear Sandy: I had promised a series of articles on Japanese amateur radio, but there is something so exciting I just have to take a break and tell you about it. It all started with the work that Ed Coan (AH6MI/7J1AAE) did on antenna pattern plotting using his personal computer. The circular, and even backward antenna patterns of some of our local TIARA club members brought home the point that what a good station needs is a good antenna. Ed's antenna looks great and the results verify it. He works regular schedules into Colorado and Maine, just like sunspots don't mean anything. My mini-beam just could not compare. Well, I got to thinking about what we apartment dwellers could do and realized that space is THE problem. How do you fit a full-sized beam on a balcony? Loading coils are the answer and the problem at the same time -- the antenna radiation resistance drops as reactance is substituted for length. High current loops develop and the power is dissipated in the antenna instead of being radiated. If only the antenna didn't dissipate the power. Hmmmmmm....let's see, P=E*E*R; if R were 0 then...... From my work, I have some contacts in research groups over at Tokyo University. Better yet, I knew a Japanese ham who is a graduate student there. The thought running through my head was to build a super-conducting antenna. This requires cryogenics, i.e. temperatures around minus 279 degrees Centigrade. I was able get the university folks interested in the project and we built a 10 meter dipole test silicon wafer. They put together a lot of serial coils on the wafer and by "re-work" on the wafer, they were able to connect them so we had a super-conducting dipole. I took my TS-930 transceiver down to the lab for the first tests, but before we could test it, actual measurements showed it was resonant on 3126 KHz. It seems that the normal equations for inductance don't work with super-conducting materials -- you need a lot few turns to get the same results than at normal temperatures. Many measurements and trials later, we had a ten meter resonant wafer. This time we put a pair of 40 element beams on each wafer and stacked 4 wafers in the same assembly. That made a 320 element array on 10 meters in less than a half-foot (15 cm) cube. The first test didn't go too well. I connected the TS-930 to the super-conducting wafer antenna and tuned it for 10 meters. At room temperature, we couldn't hear anything. Using a heat pump, the lab technicians started lowering the antenna's temperature toward the super-conducting region. I was really impressed by how small the equipment is, and started thinking it might all fit in the shack. Just then, the TS-930 froze solid, which had a negative effect on its operating characteristics. This wouldn't be so easy after all, the coax connection would need some study! We reworked the wafers to put inductive coupling on them, but I could find no way to efficiently couple to it from the conducting ceramic material that passed RF but not heat. Probably, something that Kyocera invented just for this use. I sent the TS-940 to the ham shop in Akihabara and asked them to touch it up for me. Suzuki-san (service manager at the ham shop) asked exactly how the paint had been peeled off around the coax connector -- lightning maybe? No, I assured him -- just low temperature exposure, without saying how low the temperatures were. The project had to stay secret and besides, Suzuki-san can repair anything! Since it looked like it might be a while before the TS-930 would be repaired, I brought out my TS-940. I had already placed an order for the Yaesu FT-1000 anyway. After verifying that in the super- conducting range the antenna was resonant on 10 meters, we connected the TS-940. The ceramic material worked and the rig operated well even as we began the cooling cycle. The band seemed dead even with the antenna at -150 degrees C. It took another 10 minutes to get to the super-conducting range -- then the TS-940 blew up. It seems our antenna had a bit more gain than the TS-940 front-end could take. Later, with 100 dB of attenuation, measurements showed 5 volts coming out of the coax. A little hard to believe, but then what do I know about cryogenic LSI antenna technology?! The TS-940 was also returned to Suzuki-san, but this time he frowned a bit -- the front-end board did look like it had been hit by lightning. Not to worry, Suzuki-san can repair anything! The FT-1000 arrived just in time to be able to continue the experiments. We built a QSK attenuator to protect the receiver and with the LSI wafer antenna still inside the lab, decided to try to make a contact on 10 meters. Boy, what a shock when we got it working. The first thing we heard was a couple of W2's talking locally on 10 meters and that was with 80 dB of attenuation. We had the antenna array on a rotatable mount; I moved it about 1 degree and the W2's disappeared. What beam width! We tuned them in again, and they were just about to sign off, so we thought we would try to work them. The rig was tuned up at 50 watts on a dummy load; we switched in the wafer antenna and gave N2BA a call. The noise was unbelievable -- an ionized ray shot out from the antenna and hit the wall of the building. Before we knocked a hole in the band, we took out a piece of the lab wall! Ever wonder what an antenna pattern looks like in three dimensions? There was a small round hole in the wall of the lab -- about 1 cm in circumference. We cut power quickly. N2BA came back on frequency a few minutes later and said he was using his back-up rig; something had taken his main rig off the air. For some reason, the station he was talking to never came back, and so we decided not to transmit again until we knew for sure what was going on. As near as we can tell, the antenna array has 120 dB gain over a dipole, but with a beamwidth of 0.75 degrees using the 60 dB points. With 50 watts output, the effective radiated power is 55 quadrillion watts at the center of the beam (5.5 with 13 zeroes). As soon as the University realized what we had built, the entire project was taken away from us and turned over to the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. Amateur radio "tinkering" has contributed to something, but I am not exactly sure what. I haven't the slightest idea what was in those wafers or how to explain how to build another set. But what I'd give to use a smaller set in the next CQ World Wide Contest! Do you think someone may be interested in this idea for Star Wars/SDI?? A few months later, the University contacted all of us and asked just how close we had been to the antenna when operating. As best as I can figure, we were in the null behind the array. From what has been said so far, it looks like a secondary use for our antenna may be as a mass sterilizer, but confirmation will have to await the results of the medical tests. If our antenna ever hits the market, it looks like remote operation would be desirable. As I am writing this, I have been informed that Suzuki-san can't fix everything after all. He's written off the 930 and 940, and I just found out that before the university terminated the project, they tried one more time with my FT-1000, but without the 100 dB attenuator to protect the receiver. It's front-end now matches the 940's and it looks like it will be awhile before I am on the air again. Maybe Yaesu will announce some new models soon.

We still need another GRAPES modem and both transverters. We are leaning toward QRV on 220 Mhz and recently became interested in using the 219-220Mhz spectrum allocated for this very purpose. How do we get the appropriate authorization to operate in that area of spectrum? We are in the Phoenix area so it is doubtful we would interfere with any coastal services. Anyone have a GRAPES modem or transverters surplus? 73, Brian k7on@qsl.net Brian Short 1994 E Laguna Dr Tempe, Az 85282 (602)839-3484 k7on@qsl.net

They can give you the full scoop. If you go to the ARRL page, http://www.arrl.org/ I expect that you will find it there.

From: gustavoc@pinos.com Date: 7 Apr 1997 17:58:40 EDT Subject: [BitBucket] T.I.M Telemetry.Interfase.Module (TIM) This Telemetry Interface Module can be used as a single chip telemetry system. The intent of this original design was to make a very simple, light weight module for balloon flights. The chip has four analog inputs, and output PTT and CW module audio. The only external components besides the sensors themselves are a crystal and transmitter. The pin-out follows: +---------+ Analog 3 -o| |o- Analog 2 Analog 4 -o| |o- Analog 1 NC -o| T.I.M |o- Xtal Reset -o| |o- Xtal Gnd -o| C.W. |o- 5 volts NC -o| |o- NC CW out -o| TLM |o- NC NC -o| |o- NC PTT -o| c h i p |o- NC +---------+ The module transmits a value for each of its four analog channels once every sample time. The sample periodicity is about 1 frame every 30 seg. The format of the telemetry specifies the callsign the the parameter number follows the the value measure: XYZ 1nnn 2nnn 3nnn 4nnn Where: XYZ : is the callsign 1nnn to 4nnn: is a analogic channel, that have a 8 bits resolution, expressed as a decimal number from 0 to 255. TIM has been designed to serve as a general purpose telemetry system using for balloon payload, reapeter id and telemetry, foxhunt party, using any type of fm transmitter. ORDERING YOUR TIM SYSTEM: please be very accurate in specifying the following item when ordering, CALLSIGN and default periodicity, (30 sec),other defaults supported 60,120,240 sec.

I've got a friend who's considering the IC-756, and I mentioned to him that it seems there have been some problems with that radio. He's spoken with some dealers that have NOT commented negatively about the rig, but is starting to become a bit skeptical about buying one of those 756's. HERE'S MY QUESTIONS: A) Does anyone have comments about the 756, good or bad. I like to hear them. I'd also like to know specifically where the problem areas are with that radio. B) Does anyone recommend ANOTHER HF rig as opposed to the 756? If so, what and why? Thanks!

Please email me directly with any responses, in addition to >posting your responses in the newsgroups for others to benefit from. This is an impossible question to answer. Why? depends on what you do with the hobby, that's why. Are you into CW? You need a rig that has dependable filters, among other things. Into RTTY? Then filters on FSK and on SSB, as well as slope tuning, helps a lot. Into ..... well, need I go on? Tell us a little about what you like to do. And is this to be your primary rig, or a backup? I use a Yaesu 767GX. I use it because it has modules that allow me to work the birds. I also love the way Yaesu imlements splits, and the way the VFOs can track each other. I also use a Kenwood 930 that is loaded with filters and is just super on CW (and which, sad to say, I need to sell; I want a 706 for an international trip this fall). See what I mean? Every rig has good and bad points, and it depends on your specific needs as to which rig is suitable. That having been said, INMH ham rigs are fairly cheap, pretty easy to re-sell, and almost all of them are pretty reliable and are solid performers. Hope this helps? Michael Spencer N4XSE

From: Cary Oler <oler@holly.cc.uleth.ca> (by way of "Brian K. Short" <ke7gh@primenet.com>) Subject: [BitBucket] Solar Flare Disturbance Update - 09-10 April The large solar coronal mass ejection disturbance is expected to impact with the Earth anytime over the next 24 hours. The SOHO team operating the LASCO EIT and WAVES instruments that detected this disturbance expect this disturbance to arrive by about 00:00 UTC on 10 April (within the next hour). The forecasters at the Space Environment Center are expecting the disturbance to arrive at about 12:00 UTC on 10 April. Suffice it to say, it should arrive within the next 24 hours. Arrival times have been based on different data derived from the activity observed on 07 April. Data based strictly on ground-based flare-related information originally suggested the disturbance may not arrive until late on 10 April or early on 11 April. Our original forecast was based on this preliminary data. Data now appears to favour an earlier arrival time, probably closer to the Space Environment Center derived times. The resulting geophysical disturbance is expected to be moderate in strength. There is the potential for geomagnetic activity to surpass minor storm levels with periods of major storming possible over short periods from middle and high latitude regions. Auroral activity should become substantially more enhanced with equatorward migration of the auroral ovals providing a greater probability for observing auroral activity from the middle latitudes. Ionospheric radio communications in the HF bands is expected to be initially enhanced for a few hours following the arrival of the disturbance, followed by a rapid period of degradation that should persist through to about 12 April. High and polar latitude paths should be most strongly affected with increased absorption, fading and multipathing. Transpolar and transauroral circuits will be hardest hit with periods of poor to very poor propagation expected about 6 to 12 hours after the disturbance arrives, coinciding with sometime after about 06:00 to 18:00 UTC on 10 April. Propagation probably won't improve considerably on 11 April. Middle latitude paths should see fairer conditions with periods of fair to very poor propagation occurring during the local night sectors, particularly on the upper-middle latitude circuits that cross nearer the expanded auroral ovals. Current REALTIME conditions (solar, geomagnetic, ionospheric and MUCH more) can be obtained using our Solar Warning And Realtime Monitor (SWARM) software. Information is available at: http://solar.uleth.ca/solar/www/swarm.html. Current near-realtime updated global maps of ionospheric characteristics can be found at: http://solar.uleth.ca/solar. For instance, a map of maximum usable frequencies is at: http://solar.uleth.ca/solar/www/realtime.html We have issued middle latitude auroral activity watches for 10 through 12 April, as well as a potential geomagnetic storm warning for the same time period. ** End of Bulletin **

From: "Brian K. Short" <ke7gh@primenet.com> Subject: [BitBucket] FAQ rec.radio.info rec.radio.info - Submission Guidelines and Etiquette *** Two introductory articles about rec.radio.info are posted to this group and to news.answers every two weeks. You are now reading the second article, which explains how to submit something to rec.radio.info, and which answers some Frequently Asked Questions about the submission process. The first article is titled "Welcome to rec.radio.info", and it might be a good idea to check it out as well. -- How do I submit something to rec.radio.info? Two possibilities. You can use your newsreading software to just post the article to rec.radio.info, as you would do with any other newsgroup. The difference is that the software recognizes the special status of rec.radio.info as a moderated group, and will e-mail your article to me, the moderator, instead of posting it to the group. Alternatively, you can mail your article directly to me at the following address: rec-radio-info@contesting.com Mailing me directly is probably (a wee bit) faster, but using the transparency offered by the newsreading software is probably more convenient. If you have any questions, or wish to deal with some administrivia with the moderator, I suggest mailing to the following address: rec-radio-info@contesting.com -- How soon will I see my article appear? It depends on how busy I am. Your article reaches me as mail, I have to read it first, possibly edit it, give it the stamp of approval, and finally send it on to the group. I try to check and process the rec-radio-info mailbox at least twice a day. -- Should my article be in a specific format? No. If it is not totally illegible, I will accept it, and if it does not have a correct subject-line I will correct it -- that's what a moderator is for. However. You could do me a big favor by making sure your article conforms to these simple requirements: 1) The article must present information, not discussion or requests, I will reject the article or require you to change the wording if it is worth it. 2) A good, descriptive Subject line. 3) Always mention what source you got the information from. 4) Don't forget to include a Followup-To header, at least if you don't want further discussion to automatically be forwarded to you, the poster, which is the default if the article is only posted to rec.radio.info. 5) Please try to keep commercial advertising out of the signature. One of the goals is to allow many of these messages to traverse through to Amateur Packet Radio, and even a mention of a company name can get some of the Arm-Chair lawyers up in arms :-} As I said: if your article is appropriate I will post it even if you don't follow these guidelines, but then don't blame me for not processing it immediately. 'Perfect' articles I can send on with a couple of keystrokes. Stuff that needs minor editing is going to have to wait until I have time to do so. Please do not waste both mine and your time by posting requests, as this is an information only news group. -- What about cross-posting? If you send something to rec.radio.info, just name any group you'd like to cross-post to in the Newsgroups field. Then, when I approve the article for rec.radio.info it will get automatically cross-posted to any other groups mentioned. This will also override the default Followup-To: poster, replacing it with the groups you cross posted to. I would prefer if the group be cross-posted to the various discussion groups in the rec.radio.* heirarchy that are appropriate: rec.radio.amateur.misc Amateur (ham) radio and related matters rec.radio.amateur.packet Amateur Packet Radio discussions rec.radio.amateur.policy Amateur Radio practices, rules, etc. rec.radio.noncomm Non commercial radio discussions rec.radio.shortwave International broadcasting on the 'HF' bands rec.radio.cb Citizens Band (27 MHz) discussion rec.radio.scanner Scanner discussions (unsupported group) or in the moderated group: rec.radio.broadcasting Discussion of *domestic* radio broadcasting I will leave it up to the poster to decide which group(s) are appropriate, but reserve the right to add groups if I feel it has broader interest. Note: rec.radio.broadcasting is also a moderated group. It *may* be necessary to 'manually' post your articles to it's moderator. If you wish the article to cross-post to rec.radio.info and rec.radio.broadcasting, place the e-mail address of - rrb@airwaves.chi.il.us - in the Cc: (carbon copy) field when you mail, and state, in the article, where you want the Followup-To: to be set. Since William Pfeiffer, the rec.radio.broadcasting moderator, is part of the moderation team for rec.radio.info, I will typically abide by his decision whether the article is appropriate for rec.radio.info. If you post to another moderated group it may be better to make special arrangements with both moderators before posting by contacting us at our administrivia addresses. In addition, cross-posts do not take up extra space; modern newsreaders can be configured to show you cross-posted articles only once anyway; not everybody reads rec.radio.info; and rec.radio.info was never meant to reduce the volume of the regular discussion newsgroups. But keep in mind that some of the mail gateways may filter out the informational postings (at request of the subscribers) to keep the load down. You decide. -- I have a regular posting with timely information, can I make arrangements to help speed up delivery by posting directly from my site? Yes, there is! It may take a bit of chatter with the moderator, but we are willing to take responsible people and provide them the means of posting the articles directly from their site. We will try everything we can as we fully realize that DX (distant signal) and astronomical data can be somewhat transitory. We are also willing to allow regular posters of information the same courtesy, even if the information is not as timely. We refer to this as self-moderation, which is partly based on the model for news.answer. This requires co-operation and good will to be beneficial to the community in the rec.radio hierarchy. If you are currently maintaining (or plan to maintain) a radio-related periodic information posting, you may wish to consider cross-posting it to news.answers. Postings that are approved by the news.answers moderator for this treatment are automatically pre-approved for cross-posting to rec.radio.info (as the news.answers requirements are far more rigorous than the requirements this newsgroup ever plans to use). For more information about this option, consult the appropriate information articles and posting guidelines in news.answers. Realize also, that even if your post is not approved for news.answers, it can still be approved for rec.radio.info. The intention is not so much to get every last bit of radio-related information on news.answers, but rather to provide an alternative avenue of approval (as well as grandfather existing maintainers of radio-related information and spare them additional bureaucratic hurdles). Again, cross-posting to either rec.radio.info or news.answers, both, or neither, is at the discretion of the poster (subject to the approval of the moderators). You decide what is most appropriate for your article. Please remember that as an information maintainer, you are not alone. There are many others on the net who maintain and post periodic information postings, using various intermediate-to-advanced features of Usenet (usually via automated tools). Various degrees of technical support and general hand-holding are available from many Usenet veterans. Send me some E-mail describing your needs, and I'll try to help, or at least refer you to the right knowledgeable individual(s). -- And Follow-ups? If the only newsgroup you have specified is rec.radio.info, then the Followup-To: field will always be set to poster. If you do not want this, you must supply a Followup-To line of your own, and I will honor that one. If you specify newsgroups to cross-post to, then the Followup-To field will be set to include all the cross-posted groups, excepting rec.radio.info itself. Again, if you do not wish this behavior, supply your own Followup-To line. We maintain other standards on the various RFC-1036 (news transport) header lines. For example, if the article is appropriate for passing into the Packet Radio Information Network, we encapsulate the Packet Bulletin Identifier (BID) in the Message-ID: news header line indicating the machine of origin as the ampr.org domain: Message-ID: <<$opa.55.1994@ampr.org> where the Packet Radio BID, in this example, is `$OPA.55', and it was posted in the year 1994, because some of the Bid numbers are cycled yearly. Hopefully, this can be used as a key to re-introduce the articles for the Packet Radio network. Also, if the article is a repost of an already existing information article in the rec.radio heirarchy, we ensure that the References: header line is linked to that previously posted article. This also helps to tag articles, and may be used for additional filtering if needed. Since the articles are archived, please use the Summary and Keywords header lines to help one search for your article. -- Why have I received no reply from you? I never reject anything in silence, and I make a point of it to answer all my mail. However, e-mail, like a brain cell, can and does get lost, every now and again. In addition, I find that I stop acknowledging the more prolific posters. So, if you send me something, and you don't see it appear it rec.radio.info, and you still have not heard from me in reply after say, five days, you can be pretty sure that either your mail never reached me, or that my answer has never reached you. In that case, please try again (I will filter out duplicates). -- Brian Short, K7ON -- Moderator rec.radio.info Submissions to: rec-radio-info@contesting.com Administrivia to: rec-radio-info@contesting.com

From: "Brian K. Short" <ke7gh@primenet.com> Subject: [BitBucket] New Moderator rec-radio-info@contesting.com The new moderator of the group is Brian K. Short, K7ON. Submissions to rec.radio.info can be posted, or e-mailed to: rec-radio-info@contesting.com Comments, criticisms, suggestions or questions about the group can be e-mailed to: rec-radio-info@contesting.com *** Welcome to rec.radio.info! *** Welcome to rec.radio.info, a group that aims to provide a noise-free source of information and news for the entire rec.radio hierarchy. Two introductory articles about rec.radio.info are posted to the group and to news.answers every two weeks. You are now reading the first article, which explains what rec.radio.info is, and answers some Frequently Asked Questions. The second article is titled "Submission Guidelines", and you only need to read it if you want to submit an article to rec.radio.info. You can skip to the next section of this article by searching for the next " -- " string. The sections available are: - What is the purpose of rec.radio.info? - Why are messages almost always cross posted to rec.radio.info? - What is a 'follow-up', and what does 'moderated' mean? - OK, so now I know what 'moderated' means. Tell me more. - What type of material is considered inappropriate? - I do not have access to news, how can I get the information posted to rec.radio.info? - Will the material appearing in rec.radio.info be archived somewhere? - I have a regular posting with timely information, is there a way to speed up it's delivery, or automate for more convenience? -- What is the purpose of rec.radio.info? The purpose or charter of rec.radio.info is to provide the Usenet community with a resource for information, news, and facts about any and all things radio. All the other rec.radio groups are intended for discussions and general chit chat about radio. Rec.radio.info will contain informational, factual articles only. Follow-ups are redirected to an appropriate other group, and further discussion (if any) will not take place in rec.radio.info. In order to ensure that rec.radio.info contains only appropriate articles, it was decided to create the group as a moderated newsgroup. -- Why are messages almost always cross posted to rec.radio.info? It provides a "tag" for each article to be assembled into a filtered presentation in rec.radio.info (even with cross-posting, only one message, with a unique Message-ID, is propogated across the net). This tag also facilitates a pre-existing method of dropping or cancelling the articles locally within the discussion groups if you don't want to see them. This accommodates individuals who want to separate the bulletins from the discussions, discussions from the bulletins, as well as those who are adamant about not reading another newsgroup and wanted to see everything all in one basket. With the total size of Usenet (in number of newsgroups and total traffic) doubling every year or so, this is no insignificant contribution to reducing information noise and chaos. Making the discussion groups a catch-all, and making extra newsgroups filters on that catch-all, is also the most realistic way to implement such a scheme (It's not intuitively obvious what the charter, contents, and general appropriate topics for each and every newsgroup are. Seeing FAQ's and charter/intro postings in the home newsgroup is beneficial for new readers). By cross-posting one only is adding a few tens of bytes to each bulletin (to specify the extra group on the Newsgroups line), but are adding the capability for very powerful filtering features available on most news servers, listservers and readers. Your local news guru could probably explain these features in more detail. In rn, for example, according to Leanne Phillips in her rn kill-file FAQ, add a line of the form: /Newsgroups:.*[ ,]rec\.radio\.info/h:j either in ~/News/KILL (if you don't want to see rec.radio.info articles anywhere) or ~/News/rec/radio/amateur/misc/KILL (if you don't want to see them just in rec.radio.amateur.misc). The latter method means your kill file will only be consulted during rec.radio.amateur.misc (and hence runs more efficiently), and will probably work for most people. In nn, according to Bill Wohler in his nn FAQ, add a line of the form: rec.radio.info:!s/:^ in ~/.nn/kill (if you don't want to see rec.radio.info articles anywhere), or put the following lines: sequence rec.radio.info rec.radio. at the end of ~/.nn/init in order to see all the rec.radio.info bulletins first, then read the remaining rec.radio.* without the bulletins. -- What is a 'follow-up', and what does 'moderated' mean? If you are new to Usenet and are not familiar with the terminology, you might want to read the general introductory articles found in the newsgroup news.announce.newusers. Doing so will make your life on the net much easier, and will probably save you from making silly beginner's mistakes. If you think that at this moment you are reading an echo, a conference, or a bulletin board, I'd also strongly suggest a trip over to news.announce.newusers. For the rest of this article, I will assume you have a basic knowledge of Usenet terminology and mechanics. A moderated group means that any article that needs to be posted to the group has to be accepted by the moderator of the group. Since we need to ensure that followups to an article (discussion) do not show up in the rec.radio.info newsgroup, the `Followup-To:' header line contains a newsgroup that is appropriate for disussions about the specific article. -- OK, so now I know what 'moderated' means. Tell me more. Rec.radio.info is a moderated newsgroup, which means that all articles submitted to the group will have to be approved by the moderator first. The current moderator of the group is Brian K. Short, K7ON. Submissions to rec.radio.info can be posted, or e-mailed to: rec-radio-info@contesting.com Comments, criticisms, suggestions or questions about the group can be e-mailed to: rec-radio-info@contesting.com But before you do so, please be sure to check out the "Submission Guidelines" article. The influence of the moderator should be minimal and of an administrative nature, consisting chiefly of weeding out obviously inappropriate articles, while making sure correct headers etc. are used for the appropriate ones. -- What type of material is considered inappropriate? There are three broad categories of articles which will be rejected by the moderator: 1) Requests for information: rec.radio.info is strictly a one-way street. I receive information in my mailbox; I then post it to rec.radio.info. Requests for specific information belong in the normal discussion newsgroups. If your request gets answered, you might consider passing the answer on to rec.radio.info, though. Especially if you can edit it into a informational, rather than a discussion, format. 2) Obvious discussion articles, or articles that appear unsubstantiated. 3) Commercial stuff: a relatively unbiased test of a radio product would be accepted, but any hint of for-profit might be reason for rejection. For three reasons: This is not the purpose of the list, for-profit is a controversial topic, and this list may be passed onto Amateur Packet Radio (where for-profit is prohibited except under certain provisos). rec.radio.swap (or possibly comp.newprod) may be more deserving of the posting in any matter. Similarly, copyrighted material generally cannot be used. If it's TRULY worthwhile to the net, I would recommend obtaining permission from the copyright holder. Please note the source, and if permission was given. I reserve the right to make the final decision concerning appropriateness in all situations. In most cases, a brief summary of, or pointer to, the copyrighted information may be all I can allow. -- I do not have access to news, how can I get the information posted to rec.radio.info? brian@UCSD.EDU (Brian Kantor) has kindly supplied a mail list server for rec.radio.info. None of the articles will be digested, due to their size, so you will receive individual mailings for every article posted to the group. Mail sent to radio-info@ucsd.edu will be forwarded to the moderator and thus is an alias to rec-radio-info@contesting.com To subscribe and unsubscribe via the listserver; the format for that is sub address radio-info unsub address radio-info where 'address' is your full mailing address. Send this request to listserv@ucsd.edu Note that the server will automatically delete any address that bounces mail. If you leave the address portion blank, it will try to deduce your address from the mail headers. This may not work if you are on bitnet, milnet or some other non-Unix host, so it is recommended to put your return address in any case. For example: sub mymailbox@myhost.mydomain.mil radio-info or sub MEMEME01@DMBHST.bitnet radio-info or something like that. -- Will the material appearing in rec.radio.info be archived somewhere? Not at this time, unless someone wishes to volunteer for this. -- I have a regular posting with timely information, is there a way to speed up it's delivery, or automate for more convenience? Yes, there is! It may take a bit of chatter with the moderator, but we are willing to take responsible people and provide them the means of posting the articles directly from their site. We will try everything we can as we fully realize that DX (distant signal) and astronomical data can be somewhat transitory. We are also willing to allow regular posters of information the same courtesy, even if the information is not as time critical. We refer to this as self-moderation, which is partly based on the model for news.answer. This requires co-operation and good will to be beneficial to the community in the rec.radio hierarchy. I suggest reading the posting guidelines for more information. I am open to suggestions. I thank the following individuals for their input into this article: rec.music.info moderator Leo Breebaart rec-music-info@cp.tn.tudelft.nl rec.radio.broadcasting moderator Bill Pfeiffer wdp@gagme.chi.il.us Paul W.

From: "Brian K. Short" <ke7gh@primenet.com> Subject: [BitBucket] Volunteer Sought for Archives? BitBucket has been "on the air" for 6 months or so and has by some accounts been reasonably successful. With ~650 subscribers internationally, at least it has appeal (for whatever reason). Anyway, under present circumstances, I cannot make archives available, but for other lists I have used HyperMail archives and that is really quite nice. Would anyone care to step forward to make the ongoing archives of BitBucket available on WWW using HyperMail or other suitable tool? Brian ke7gh@primenet.com >or< http://www.primenet.com/~ke7gh
ham-radio.884 pifat,
Izvinjavam se cenjenim pratiocima teme za izostanak priloga u poslednjih desetak dana zbog obaveza u redakciji. Nadam se das ću tokom vikenda nadoknaditi zaostalo, uz malu reorganizaciju slanja priloga. Od sada, prilozi sa mailing liste BITBUCKET će biti slani kao fajl uz poruku u kojoj će se nalaziti spisak tema koje pojedine poruke pokrivaju. Nadam se da će tako materijal biti čitljiviji i onima kojima radio-amaterski hobi nije toliko blizak, ali žele da saznaju nešto i o njemu. Pozdrav svima. Igor YT1MM
ham-radio.885 pifat,
Posle gotovo dvadesetodnevne pauze, evo zaostalih priloga. U prva tri, šaljem spakovane DX biltene koji su u međuvremenu stigli, a drago mi je da se nemački DX NL opet oglašava. Od nekolicine kolega amatera sam čuo da ga rado prate zbog vrlo informativnog pregleda prilika na opsezima, odnosno beleški koje su se stanice mogle čuti na kom opsegu. Dakle, prvo ide DX-NL. dxnl.zip
ham-radio.886 pifat,
Sledeći na redu je svežanj 425 DX News :) 425dx.zip
ham-radio.887 pifat,
Jasno, poslednji ide Ohio Penn DX Bulletin. Obratite pažnju na sam kraj arhive, odnosno na ispravku. Očigledno je da osim "slimova" na opsezima, lažno predstavljanje počinje da hvata maha i na Internetu. Ne zaboravite, danas počinje velika ekspedicija na greben Skarboro - BS7H. Nadajmo se da će operatori osvetlati obraz, a nedavna ekspedicija na ostrvo Herd im svakako može služiti kao odličan primer. opdx.zip

Posle dužeg vremena, evo malo DX vesti. Za nekoliko dana trebalo bi da materijal za ovu temu opet dostavljam u uobičajenim količinama :) 73, Igor YT1MM dx2107.zip
ham-radio.890 pifat,
Ovo su vesti za poslednjih nekoliko dana, uključujući i sva tri uobičajena DX biltena - 425 DX News, OPDX i DX-NL. dx2807.zip
ham-radio.891 pifat,
Teleprinteristi, evo šanse da malo uposlite vaše računare i KT uređaje :) Žao mi je što je tekst ovako "zubat", ali tako mi je stigao u mail, a nisam imao vremena da ga ispeglam. Sva sreća, ono što je napisano lako se prati. World-Wide RTTY WPX Contest The 4th Annual World-Wide RTTY WPX Contest Sponsored by Hal Communications Corp. February 14-15th, 1998 Starts: 0000 UTC Saturday - Ends: 2400 UTC Sunday I. Objective To contact as many other Amateurs around the world, using RTTY-Baudot only. II. Operating Times For SINGLE OPERATOR and MULTI-SINGLE,only 30 hours of the 48 hour contest period are permitted. Off times must be a minimum of 60 minutes in length and be clearly marked in the log. MULTI-MULTI and MULTI-TWO stations may operate the full 48 hours. III. Bands Only 3.5, 7, 14, 21 and 28 MHz bands may be used. No WARC bands. IV. Categories **** Note the addition of a new category **** A. SINGLE OPERATOR, ALL BANDS, HIGH POWER. B. SINGLE OPERATOR, ALL BANDS, LOW POWER, (Output 150W MAX.) C. SINGLE OPERATOR, SINGLE BAND, NO POWER CLASSES. D. MULTI OPERATOR, SINGLE TRANSMITTER, ALL BANDS, NO POWER CLASSES. **** E. MULTI OPERATOR, TWO TRANSMITTERS, ALL BANDS, NO POWER CLASSES. F. MULTI OPERATOR, MULTI TRANSMITTERS, ALL BANDS, NO POWER CLASSES. G. S.W.L. NOTES: 1. SINGLE OPERATOR means, ONE person performs all the operating and logging. 2. All SINGLE OPERATOR categories are permitted only ONE signal on the air at a time. 3. CATEGORY D. Only ONE transmitter and only ONE band permitted during the same time period, defined as 10 minutes. **** 4. CATEGORY E. A maximum of two transmitted signals at any given time, on different bands. Once either station has begun operation on a given band, it must remain on that band for at least 10 minutes. Listening time counts as operating time. Both transmitters may work any and all stations. The second transmitter is not limited to working new multipliers only. Each of the two transmitters must keep a separate, chronological log for the entire contest period. Violation of the 10 minute rule by either or both transmitters or improper logging, will result in reclassification to the multi-multi class. 5. CATEGORY F. No limit to the number of transmitters but only ONE signal permitted per band. 6. SWLs must identify both stations heard and log both exchanges. 7. All transmitters must be located within a 500 meter diameter or within property limits, of the station licensee's address, whichever is greater. All antennas must be physically connected by wires to the transmitters and receivers. V. DX PACKET CLUSTERS AND DX ALERTING ASSISTANCE ARE PERMITTED IN ALL CATEGORIES. VI. Exchange RST and a progressive three-digit serial number, starting with 001. Continue to four digits if necessary. Multi-multi stations must use separate numbers for each band. VII. Points A. Contacts between stations on different continents are worth three (3) points on 28, 21, and 14 MHz, and six (6) points on 7, 3.5 MHz. B. Contacts between stations on the same continent but different countries and contacts with Maritime Mobile stations are worth two (2) points on 28, 21, and 14 MHz and four (4) points on 7, 3.5 MHz. C. Contacts between stations in the same country are worth one (1) point on 28, 21, and 14 MHz, and two (2) points on 7, 3.5 MHz. VIII. Multipliers Each VALID PREFIX is counted as a multiplier. Multipliers are counted only ONCE, not once per band, i.e. NO band multipliers. However, the same station may be contacted on other bands for additional points credit. IX. Prefixes The letter/number combination which forms the first part of the callsign will be considered the PREFIX. Examples: N8, W8, AB8, DL5, DJ2, HG1, WD200, WF96, 3DA0, GB75, ZS66, U3 etc. Any difference in the numbering, lettering or order of same, shall constitute a separate prefix. A station operating from a DXCC country different from that indicated by its callsign, MUST sign portable. The portable prefix must be an authorized prefix for the country or call area of operation. In the case of portable operation, the portable designator will become the prefix. Example: AB5KD operating from Wake Is. MUST sign AB5KD/KH9 or KH9/AB5KD. AMERICAN DX, i.e. KL7, KH6, KP2, KH3 etc, operating within the 48 states, MUST sign with a FULL designator of their choice. Example: KL7xx/W7 or any other prefix authorized for use in the U.S. 7th call district, i.e. KL7xx/WY7. UNITED STATES portables are NOT permitted to select a portable designator. E.g. WS7I/2 is correct, but WS7I/WY5 or WY6/WS7I is NOT. PORTABLE DESIGNATORS, without numbers will be assigned a zero (0) after the second letter of the designator to form the prefix. WS7I/PA would become WS7I/PA0. All calls without numbers will be assumed a zero (0) after the first two letters to form the prefix. Examples: XEFTJW would count as XE0, RAEM would count as RA0, etc. /A, /E, /J, /P, /M, /MM, /QRP or interim license class identifiers do NOT count as prefixes. Special event, commemorative, and other prefix stations are encouraged to participate. X. Scoring 1. SINGLE OPERATOR: (a) All Band score: total QSO points from all bands multiplied by the number of different Prefixes worked. (b) Single Band score: QSO points on the band multiplied by the number of different Prefixes worked on the same band. 2. MULTI-OPERATOR stations. Scoring in both these categories is the same as the All Band scoring for Single Operator. XI. Low Power Category (Single Operator only) Output must not exceed 150 watts. You must indicate Low Power on the Summary. XII. Awards Certificates will be awarded to the highest scoring station in each category listed under Section IV. of the rules. 1. In every participating country. 2. In each call area of the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Japan. 3. All scores will be published. However to be eligible for an award a Single Operator station must show a minimum of 12 hours of operation. Multi-Operator stations must operate a minimum of 18 hours. Plaques will be awarded only to serious contest efforts. Decisions of the contest chair are final. Contestants are permitted to submit only ONE CATEGORY log for plaque or certificate consideration. However, SINGLE BAND entrants, are allowed to operate on other bands, to encourage activity. Any logs other than their chosen band log, will be used as check logs. XIII. Plaques Additional Plaque donors are always needed for the contest. Contact: Ron Stailey K5DJ, 504 Dove Haven Dr., Round Rock, TX 78664-5926 or via E-mail: k5dj@easy.com XIV. Log Instructions 1.

Single Operator and Multi single logs must be submitted in chronological order.(QSO nr 001,002 etc). Multi-Multi logs must be submitted chronologically by band. 2. Prefix Multipliers should be entered only the first time they are contacted and must be clearly marked. 3. Logs should be checked for duplicate contacts, correct points, and prefix multipliers. Duplicate contacts must be shown. 4. An alpha/numeric check list of claimed PREFIX multipliers and a dupe sheet, must be submitted by all entrants. 5.

Disqualification Violations of amateur radio regulations in the country of the contestant, or the rules of the contest, unsportsmanlike conduct, taking credit for excessive duplicate contacts, non-verifiable QSO's or multipliers will be deemed sufficient cause for disqualification. Incorrectly logged calls will be counted as non-verifiable contacts. An entrant whose log is deemed by the Contest Committee to contain a large number of errors may be disqualified. The contest committee's decisions are final. XVI. Deadline Entries must be postmarked no later than Tuesday 17th March, 1998.
