and along with that should be "A Course in Radio Fundamentals".
I have a bad photocopy here made to reduce wear on a worn copy - copyright
1972. Even looking at the book today, it appears that it would serve nicely.
However, we got a light weight "Understanding Basic Electronics" today
(not that it isn't needed but there's a place for the serious technical
book on general electronics).
was only $2 in 1972. probably could use some updating for new stuff. I'd
probably buy a copy if it isn't filled with lots of fluffy sidebars and cutesy
cartoons and art (a distraction in UBE in my opinion).
i would also think a return to book sized books instead of the 8x11 floppy
books might help some...the big books are a bit too floppy.

We have a NIR-10 at work's club station, and I'm not overly impressed! I
personally wouldn't pay the $300+ for this unit. The NIR-10 is okay for CW and
badnpass applications, but the "white noise" reduction leaves a lot to be
desired.

I don't want to bore everyone by taking my turn at Gary-bashing, but I
can't resist. I am brand new to amateur radio. So new, in fact, that
I just passed elements 1A, 2, and 3A on Nov 6 (did I say that right,
Gary? Forgive me if I'm not as smart as you.) So there have been many
times I've wanted to say exactly what Doug said:
What do I do now? or
Any help?
BTW, I'm 30 yrs old and have a BS and an MS in mechanical engineering,
so I don't feel like I'm an idiot. But amateur radio is a very diverse
hobby and can be as technically challenging as your interests and
capabilites will allow. I've easily got a hundred questions to ask
someone. And each answer is food for thought and spawns 2 more
questions. For the inexperienced amateur, there is no such
thing as a stupid question, yet Gary (or people like him) can certainly
give a different impression. I wanted to become a ham more than
twenty years ago, but I didn't know a single person to turn to for help.
At the time, I had no idea there were Elmers out there to help (or even
what one was, for that matter). But I can assure you of one thing, if
the first ham I ran into was a Gary, I wouldn't be waiting for ticket
now.
Hope to work you soon... 10-12 weeks, they tell me :-(

SB SAREX @ AMSAT $STS-58.025
SAREX Keps & Update: 10/28
Thursday 10/28/93 @ 08:00 UTC
The last school group contact was completed yesterday. The Portsmouth HS
in Portsmouth, New Hampshire had a telebridge contact using stations in
California (Ralph Warner, N6MNN) and Texas (Bob Douglas, W5GEL). The
students asked 5 questions during this bridge contact.
Hams across the U.S. and around the world continue to work the Shuttle
Columbia on both voice and packet. Moreover, the completion of school
group contacts has cleared several school backup passes for possible
general QSO opportunities. While the SAREX Working Group cannot fully
guarantee availability, there is a high probability that the STS-58 crew
will be ready to take general call. on these
passes. Two of these "scheduled" passes remain. These include orbit
178 at MET 11 days 1 hour 42 minutes (10/29 at 16:35 UTC) and orbit 192
at MET 11 days 22 hours and 29 minutes (10/30 at 13:22 UTC). Please note
that the astronauts operated voice during yesterday's "scheduled" pass
which occurred on 10/27 at 14:59 UTC (Orbit 145). Also note that hams on
the ground heard or worked the Shuttle Columbia crew on several other orbits
yesterday.
Element set GSFC-031, generated by Ron Parise, WA4SIR, is the official SAREX
set for today. Please note that there is only a six second difference
between element set GSFC-025 (released two days ago) and element set GSFC-
031.

SB SAREX @ AMSAT $STS-58.025
SAREX Keps & Update: 10/28
Thursday 10/28/93 @ 08:00 UTC
The last school group contact was completed yesterday. The Portsmouth HS
in Portsmouth, New Hampshire had a telebridge contact using stations in
California (Ralph Warner, N6MNN) and Texas (Bob Douglas, W5GEL). The
students asked 5 questions during this bridge contact.
Hams across the U.S. and around the world continue to work the Shuttle
Columbia on both voice and packet. Moreover, the completion of school
group contacts has cleared several school backup passes for possible
general QSO opportunities. While the SAREX Working Group cannot fully
guarantee availability, there is a high probability that the STS-58 crew
will be ready to take general calls over the continental U.S. on these
passes. Two of these "scheduled" passes remain. These include orbit
178 at MET 11 days 1 hour 42 minutes (10/29 at 16:35 UTC) and orbit 192
at MET 11 days 22 hours and 29 minutes (10/30 at 13:22 UTC). Please note
that the astronauts operated voice during yesterday's "scheduled" pass
which occurred on 10/27 at 14:59 UTC (Orbit 145). Also note that hams on
the ground heard or worked the Shuttle Columbia crew on several other orbits
yesterday.
Element set GSFC-031, generated by Ron Parise, WA4SIR, is the official SAREX
set for today. Please note that there is only a six second difference
between element set GSFC-025 (released two days ago) and element set GSFC-
031.
