Subject: Alpha Bravo: Hungarian
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Since posting my collection of phonetic alphabets recently
I have found some further information. From a Hungarian
telephone directory the following Hungarian alphabet:
Andra's Be'la Cecil Do'ra Eleme'r Ferenc Gizella Hajnalka
Istva'n Ja'nos Katalin Luca Ma'tya's Na'ndor Olga Piroska
Queen Ro'bert Sarolta Ti'mea Ubul Vilmos Walter Xe'nia
Ypsilon Zolta'n
I now have reason to believe that the Amsterdam Baltimore
Edison Florida alphabet is [supposed to be] French.

'lo all!
I was snopping at arrl.org and I saw a lot of progs that I want to
come to my account... but the problem is that ARRL's BBS doesn't
support (does it?) ftp.... and a call from Chile to USA is too
expensive to do.. :)
I'm looking for a good ftp site where U can login as anonymous
(or guest or anything U like.. ) and get all teh progs U want.....
If somebody have a clue to do it please let me know.... please don't
e-mail to this account but to rrodrigu@loa.disca.utfsm.cl... and
please don't post replys on netnews 'cause I haven't an easy way to
acces news... :(
Thanks in advance for any information.......

I've been trying to stay out of this discussion as best I could,
but in studying for my No-Code Technician test next week I came
across questions T1C03-T1C07 in Gordon West's Radio Shack prep
book: he uses bauds again and again.
My two cents worth.

Personally, having reflected on this subject for about a week. I
think BAUDS could be valid if one was to say, my modem supports 300,
600, and 2400 BAUDS.

Greetings,
I haven't used my HT for about a year and a half. When I dug it out of the

or send me Kenwood's USA address? Or if there is an electronic version of
the TH-26AT manual somewhere, where can I find it?

p.s. if you own one of these, and are feeling a bit kind, please send me
a few instructions, I'm completely lost and I don't know anyone who has
a TH-26AT in this area.

The best way to hook the FT-411E up to power is to get the cigarette lighter
adapter and then make a connection to a power supply of 3 amps or so.
The 'E' model has an enhanced processor that works a little better is all..

Unless I am mistaken, I think the only real difference between the 411 and
411E is that the 411E has the Tone Encode/Decode board built-in, where
it is extra for the 411.

SB SAREX @ AMSAT $STS-58.031
SAREX Keps & Update 10/30
Saturday 10/30/93 @ 00:00 UTC
Since all scheduled SAREX activities are now complete, several general
QSO opportunities are available. While the SAREX Working Group cannot
fully guarantee that the crew will be operating, there is a high
probability that the STS-58 astronauts will be ready to take general calls
over the continental U.S. on these passes. These opportunities include a
pass on orbit 192 at MET 11 days 22 hours and 29 minutes (10/30 at 13:22 UTC)
and a pass on orbit 193 at MET 12 days 0 hours 6 minutes (10/30 at 14:49 UTC).
Please note that many hams on the ground heard or worked the Shuttle Columbia
crew on several orbits today. Both voice and packet modes were operating.
Element set GSFC-031, generated by Ron Parise, WA4SIR, will continue to be
the official SAREX element set for today. On orbit 181 Gil Carman, WA5NOM,
of the Johnson Space Center compared the orbiter state vector to GSFC-031.
The state vector was 6 seconds later than this element set. Other later
element sets (e.g. GSFC-038) are currently less accurate than GSFC-031.

NOTE - This element set is based on NORAD element set # 031.
The spacecraft has been propagated to the next ascending

into agreement with the NASA numbering convention.

Columbia will perform a 14 fps retrograde orbit adjust maneuver at
5/06:50 MET. The next state vector update will be performed after this
maneuver has been completed.

Duane is right. Also, in 5 or 6 years, the price of the rigs may go up.
I'd like people to do 2 things:
1. Fire up the 10M rigs aperiodically just to see if 10M is alive and
keep the electrolytics conditioned within the rig.
2. Check for drug trafficers and 'free banders' on the low end of the
band. Once they move in, we'll have hell getting rid of 'em.
Might be a chance for you to practice some of your code here. :-)
Another reason to learn the code. They won't know who it is or what
is going on. You simulate a 'fox hunt' by keying a sequence, moving
vfo a few hundred Hz, keying another sequence and move back and forth
simulating what must be a QSO in progress for the purpose of tracking
them down. :-)
Of course, somebody is gonna jump on my case about FCC regs here, but
hey, the FCC will probably be occupied with the bozos, not me. Is the
FCC going to give up CW like the other agencies???? :-) The
mind boggles at the possibilities here. Kinda like gun control!
