I have a DJF1T and it has performed perfectly!. I've had it for
just over a year.
Hope it gets fixed to your satifaction.

NOTE: The Effective Sunspot Number for 26 NOV 93 was 44.0.
The Full Kp Indices for 26 NOV 93 are: 2o 2- 1+ 2- 2o 3- 4o 2+
SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------
Solar activity was very low. Several B-class x-ray bursts
occurred, none of which were optically correlated. All sunspot
regions appeared to be stable.
Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
very low to low. Region 7620 (N04W53) could produce an isolated
C-class subflare.
The geomagnetic field has been at mostly quiet levels for the
past 24 hours.
Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels during the first
two days. Activity will increase to active to minor storm
levels on the final day due to coronal hole effects.

HF propagation conditions were normal over all regions.
Similar conditions will persist through 29 November inclusive.
Minor signal degradation is expected on 30 November for
transpolar and transauroral paths as a recurrent coronal-hole-
related disturbance begins to arrive. Stronger and more
widespread ionospheric activity is expected to take effect on
01 and/or 02 December.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------
Solar activity was very low. A single B-class subflare
occurred. New Regions 7624 (N03E13) and 7625 (S14E14) were
numbered. Region 7625 showed gradual growth during the day.
Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
very low to low. Region 7625 could produce an isolated C-class
subflare.
The geomagnetic field has been at mostly quiet levels for the
past 24 hours.
Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
expected to be at mostly unsettled levels during the first
day. Coronal hole effects are expected to increase activity to
active levels during the second day, then major storm levels
on the final day. Brief periods of severe storming could occur
late in the period as well.

HF propagation conditions continued normal over all
regions. Conditions will continue near-normal on 29 November
and should remain near-normal for a fair portion of 30
November, although signal degradation over the high and polar
latitude paths will begin to affect communications on these
higher latitude paths. Very poor to occasionally useless
propagation is expected on 01 and 02 December (with emphasis on
01 December) in response to the anticipated major geomagnetic
storm. Middle latitudes are expected to see fair to
occasionally very poor propagation with strongest signal
degradation occuring during the local night and sunrise
sectors. If recurrence is any indication, full recovery from
this disturbance will not likely be observed for at least 2 to
4 days after the geomagnetic storming ends (on 02 or
03 December).

SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------
Solar activity was low. Three C-class x-ray bursts
occurred and were probably produced by new Region 7627
(S19E85). Active surge and prominence activity accompanied the
region as it rotated into view midway through the period. New
Region 7626 (N28E12) was also numbered.
STD: Strong Ca XV emissions were observed today on the
southeast limb centered at S19, spanning from S31 to S10.
These emissions were also accompanied by strong Fe X and Fe XIV
emissions. Weak Ca XV emissions were observed yesterday.
This area is also bright in x-rays, as seen by the Yohkoh
satellite. A full-disk Yohkoh image has been reduced and
appended to this report. The large northern polar coronal hole
extension is also clearly visible, approaching the central
meridian at 00:40 UTC on 29 November.
Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
low. Region 7627 may continue to produce C-class activity.
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled levels
for the past 24 hours. Isolated active periods also occurred.
Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
expected to be at unsettled to active levels during the first
day increasing to major storm levels during the second day.
Brief severe storm periods could also occur during the second
day, particularly at high latitudes. Activity is expected to
decline to active to minor storm levels during the final day.
This activity is expected due to recurrent coronal hole
effects.

HF propagation conditions were normal over all regions.
Tommorrow (30 November) should see the last period of stable
ionospheric communications. Late on 30 November and/or
particularly on 01 December, conditions are expected to become
substantially disturbed. High and polar latitude paths are
expected to become frequently useless, particularly during
the local night and sunrise sectors due to potentially strong
geomagnetic and auroral storm activity. These effects should
also migrate to the middle-latitude regions, affecting many
middle-latitude paths and limiting propagation to more
north-south oriented paths. Conditions are not expected
improve for several days after the storming subsides, but
should have returned to near-normal by about 04 or 05 December.
NOTE that there is a chance for VHF auroral backscatter during
the most disturbed periods (geomagnetic K-indices of 6 or
more). Please report VHF and or other unusual or interesting
HF/VHF contacts during this period to: COler@Solar.Stanford.Edu.

NOTES:
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: Penn State ARC still exists!
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Hello netters,
(Particularly Penn State Students, Faculty, Staff, and Alumni)
This is a brief note telling all of you that the Penn State ARC is still
alive. As the Vice-President, I am interested in hearing from some of you
who are or were in the Penn State system. If you are a current student,
or faculty/staff member, you can be a part of the Penn State ARC (PSARC).
Contact me at my E-Mail address for info. (dcr117@psuvm.psu.edu) or via
packet radio (n2oqn@w3ya.pa.usa.noam)
If you are an one of PSU's vast alumni, let me know how you are doing/what
you are up to. We would all be interested in hearing from you guys, and
sharing interesting college stories/ham radio stories at our meetings.
To let you know where the club is/has been going I'll tell you a little bit
about the station...
We are running the following equipment:
Kenwood TS940S HF Rig
Kenwood TS820S HF Rig
Dentron MLA-2500B Linear
Heathkit SB-220 Linear
Mosley TH7DX 7 Element Tribander
Yaesu FT736R 2/440 Satellite Rig
AEA PK-232MBX for RTTY, Packet, etc...
(And other assorted stuff...)
Projects in the works are, completion of a 2/440 Satellite antenna array,
replacement of a terminal for packet/data operation, antenna and
tower maintainence, and other stuff... (I have probably forgotten many
things...)
So, let me know what you guys are doing... Again, reply to this message,
or send packet mail to n2oqn@w3ya.pa.usa.noam.
Thanks and 73,
Dan Raneri (N2OQN)
Vice President,
Penn State Amateur Radio Club

When you see this crap on the net, everyone of you should reply E-mail to
the originators account, with the entire message intact. Maybe his local
node will boot him off the air. Maybe they'll catch wind and turn him in.
What do you think.

No I did not explain photon torpedoes. However I made one tonight with an
HF amplifier accident. Fortunately for me I'm still here to read this
message. We still have headaches from the 40 amp 110 volt component that
flew out of the case in great fury, trying to catch the RF that was
generated for the split second of plasma flash. I'm not throwing that
switch tomorrow night ... someone else can do that.
Now as to the Photon energy thing, I have only one question.
What type of wine, a red or a white, is best served with crow.
Can you recommend a good Label or vintage.

You almost caught me again eh!
I wasn't trying to suggest that the C=64 is the final answer to Packet,
merely that you don't have to have the biggest, fastest, most expensive
toys on the block to participate in Ham Radio.
With respect to the Baycom, it was developed ( hacked ) on the C=64, and
cloned/ported/ whatever to the IBM environment.
I wasn't trying to present the whole story. I was just trying to present
the "Frugal Gourmet/Urban Peasant" approach to Ham Radio. See I do watch
things besides ( yuck WWF ) and I'm not married to my sister either.
Just plain dumb old Bill

Subject : Re: FT530 receiver problems??
Actually, there is a very simple solution to this problem which I just now
thought of. Why didn't I think of it before??
Is your AM detector on on your FT-530?
(Don't ask me about the display. I dunno.)
Tune to the offending signal (on frequency--not off) and press
F/M
0
F/m
# (or VFO whatever it's label is)
See if that don't clear it up.
