There is a newsgroup dedicated to cable TV and descramblers. Its been so
long I cant remember what its called, alt.cable.tv ?? Anyway, you may
have more luck there.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------
Solar activity was moderate. A new region has appeared
at east limb, 7618 (N08E73). It was responsible for an M2.0/SF
flare, with associated Type II at 12/0225Z. The region has
also produced several C-class flares during the period.
STD: Two Type II sweeps were observed from Region 7618. The
first, at 12/0225Z had an estimated shock velocity of 1600
km/sec. The second, at 12/2108Z was estimated at 600 km/sec.
Flaring within this region has been very frequent and fairly
impulsive. As one would expect, the region is bright in
x-rays. Limb proximity is preventing detailed analysis of the
region. A special insert showing the x-ray emissions observed
by the Japanese Yohkoh x-ray satellite has been appended to
this report.
Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
low to moderate due to Region 7618.
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for
the past 24 hours.
Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled throughout the period.

HF propagation conditions were near-normal over all
regions. Hiraiso Japan reported a strong short wave fadeout
(SWF) in conjunction with the M2.0/SF flare between
approximately 02:22 and 02:46 UTC. Other areas did not
experience effects as pronounced as Hiraiso. Conditions should
continue near-normal. There is a high probability for periodic
short wave fadeouts (SWFs) over the next several days at least.
Region 7618 appears to be a fairly volatile group at the
moment. Most of the SWFs should be fairly brief in nature.

All times are in Universal Time (UT). Characters preceding begin, max,
and end times are defined as: B = Before, U = Uncertain, A = After.
All times associated with x-ray flares (ex. flares which produce
associated x-ray bursts) refer to the begin, max, and end times of the
x-rays. Flares which are not associated with x-ray signatures use the
optical observations to determine the begin, max, and end times.
Acronyms used to identify sweeps and optical phenomena include:
II = Type II Sweep Frequency Event
III = Type III Sweep
IV = Type IV Sweep
V = Type V Sweep
Continuum = Continuum Radio Event
Loop = Loop Prominence System,
Spray = Limb Spray,
Surge = Bright Limb Surge,
EPL = Eruptive Prominence on the Limb.

Subject: FCC question pools are here
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Several people have asked about exam pools of late.
The complete exam pool questions (less the pictures) can be ftp'd
from world.std.com. For example, the General exam questions are
/pub/hamradio/arrl/Server-files/pool-general-1.Z and
pool-general-2.Z. The UNIX "uncompress" command will convert the
.Z files into readable text.
For Macintosh users there are HyperCard stacks (complete with
the pictures) for all the FCC tests. Check in the directory
/pub/hamradio/mac/theory-and-morse. For example, the General
exam can be found as General_Ham_Test_.hqx.
Anyone got any pointers for DOS/Windows?

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Hi,
I have become the proud owner of a Kenwood TS-820 HF transiever.
I also have a CMOS Super Keyer II. I need to know how to build
the circuit that will interface the keyer to the radio. In
the ARRL Handbook they refer to a QST article from Feb. 1990
"Cheap and Easy Control Signal Level Converters". I am hoping
that someone here could either send me the article or describe
the procedure needed to make they keyer and radio work together.
If you can help I would appreciate it.
Please email me at levin@cosmic.physics.utah.edu
Thanks in advance.

SUBJECT: OPS - STRIKE TEAMS - Part 2/2
Our Strike Team is comprised of RACES personnel who have
taken extra steps to maximize their abilities and skills. What
extra steps? Fireground safety, public safety radio operation and
agency orientation are a few of the topics covered in training.
Personnel must have served in RACES for at least a year, and be
licensed as Technician or higher for a similar period. They must
show a willingness and ability to serve as a RACES person before
serving on the Strike Team. Membership in the Strike Team is by
no means automatic. It requires a special level of participation,
and members must have shown that they can meet this demand before
they are accepted.
Strike Team members are normally assigned to other RACES
functions, including operation of stations, EOCs and the
Communications Center. If you belong to a Strike Team you will
still be expected to attend the drills, training and activities
that are part of your normal RACES assignment as well. In the
process, you will be confident that no matter what may happen,
you will be called!
End of extract from an article by Ted Benson, WA6BEJ, Deputy
RACES Radio Officer/Mobile Operations. published in vol. 1, issue
2, TAC ONE, THE OFFICIAL VOICE OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY RACES. Ted's
article began with the perspective that "we face a new set of
disasters and emergencies for which we must plan. Forest fires,
civil disturbances, and downed aircraft are but a few of modern
challenges RACES must face. With these new challenges come new
techniques, of which the Strike Team is perhaps the newest of
these techniques."

John is correct about the scope and impact of PRB-1.

I think it is difficult to say that "the 30 days was from when they
received permission" without having actually read the CC&Rs. It may
very well be as the original poster states...having erected something
without permission AND having no action taken against it within
30 days of construction...then the permission is, in essense, automatic.
Again, without the eact wording in the CC&Rs, making such a legal
determination is difficult. In fact, as I recall, the poster said that
he had reviewed the situation with his attorney, so I'll presume
what was posted about the automatic permission after 30 days is
indeed the case.

Having bought a Pro 2006 plus misc stuff at the local store, I'm
