SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------
Solar activity was very low. All the regions on
the disk are quiet and stable.
Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
very low with a slight chance for an isolated C-flare.
The geomagnetic field has been at mostly quiet levels
for the past 24 hours. A period of active conditions
occured from 0900-1200Z.
Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
expected to be generally unsettled for the next three days.
Influences from a coronal hole may increase levels to active
sometime late on the third day.
Event probabilities 13 dec-15 dec

I find using a bb gun to be the most gratifying. Particularly if
the birds in question are loud and obnoxious and other flying objects
such as rocks, beer cans, and paint balls have failed to permanently
discourage them. ;-)
Many places sell phony owls and other predatory bird statues. In
most cases these acomplish at least *some* deterrence. I have heard a
garden hose strung around or near may be interpreted as a snake.
Fine nylon netting may be used that will not capture or injure
the birds, but they cannot fly through it and from a distance is
is practically invisible to humans.
Look for products in the garden dept. of a large hardware
or department store.

I use one for my TH-77A. It is three years old and still going
strong. It is heavy, but great for portable use and those days
when you will be helping with an event all day long. It also is
nice to get the full 5 watts on high power (12v).
The comment about the charging circuitry is correct. These are
lead acid batteries and they use an excellent charging circuit on
them.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Logging Programs
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Greetings...
I have seen the discussions relating to logging / QSLing software, and
they have brought a question to my mind. I'm looking for a logging
package that has to meet some very specific (and apparently unusual)
requirements.
What I'm looking for is a system that will, upon my entering a call
sign, interrogate my Yaesu CAT rig for the frequency and mode
information, interrogate the QRZ! CD-ROM for name and address
information, inquire of it's own database to recover information about
previous contacts and notes that I made during those contacts and
display all of this information on the screen. At the end of the QSO,
I press a function key, and all of this information, including the
date and time, is written to the database as a log entry, for QSL
cards to be printed later, after the operating session. In this way,
the computer takes over all the bookkeeping chores, and I get to enjoy
the visit on the air.
Is anyone familiar with any of the available logging programs that
even comes close? I'm far too lazy to want to log my HF contacts, so
I'm obviously too lazy to try and write my own program (unless, of
course, I have to in order to get what I want).
Please respond through the group, in that I can't imagine I'm the only
ham that wants one of these.

Jeff, NH6IL asks about reading resistance values:

The value for the first resistor is 13,000 ohms 1%. The last "1" in the string
indicates the number of trailing zeros. The two zeros preceding the last "1"
are real numbers and could be any number from 0-9 and would be part of the
resistance value.
For the second, the value is correct at 1.669 ohms 1%. The "R" represents the
decimal point and all digits following the "R" are real numbers.
The letter "F" indicates a 1% tolerance.
As for the remainging letters and numbers, I've forgotten what all of that
means, but believe they indicate case style, power rating and wirewound.

I have wondered about that. I was about to buy an on-glass dual-band antenna
because a sunroof pretty much precludes center-of-roof mounting, and I saw
that the claimed antenna gain figures for such antennas were quite respectable.
However, assumed that the gain claimed included the loss associated with
the mount. Is this not the case? How much loss is associated with the
on-glass mount, assuming that the inside portion is properly grounded?

Subject: Review about dual-band radios.
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
I recently asked for comments about radios on this forum, and boy did I get
them!! Here are the relavent parts about dual-banders:
I sincerely doubt you'll be able to find a dual bander for under $300.
The only one I know of which has been advertised in that price range
is the Alinco DJ-590. A friend of mine who has one has said that if
you put a better antenna on it, it becomes a quite respectable radio.
I would suggest trying to find someone who has one, and borrowing it
for a few days. Or else, find a store which will let you return it if
you don't like it.
The Icom (W2A) has quirks -- wierd batteries and charger connection
mean Icom is the only source and they'll be expensive, oddball
placement of the VHF volume/squelch knob next to the antenna
which makes it hard to turn -- but overall I like it. The
receiver seems as good as any other HT, it's physically small but
not so small as to vanish or be hard to read, it doesn't look
ugly, and wide-band receive works pretty well.
(3) MOTOROLA radios are in a class by themselves. They are indestructible.
(I'm serious; I know people who have used them as weapons, *shattered
the jaw of an assailant*, and still the radio was 100%. The problem
is that you pay 2-3 times what any other radio company would charge.
Mot is just not great amateur gear. Wonderful for public service.
Note--this doesn't have much to do with dual-banders, but it's a wonderful
story!
(4) I love my FT-530 with the digital speaker mic. The IC-W2A is still
gotta be one of the most sensitive radios on the market, great RX,
wonderful, BUT -- no lit keypad, and a few other minuses. Friends
who have the alinco dual-bander like it, as it's cheap and good.
Several of my pals have Alinco 580 HTs and really like them. Myself, I went
with the Yaesu FT-530, afew bucks more, but I really wanted the dual in band
receive and the voltmeter. No regrets.
Count me as one who likes his Alinco - a DJ580. It's easy to use, is
easy on batteries, has a solid "feel" and has all the features I need (though
some could be implemented better). If someone has experience with the older
Alincos, they might have a different opinion.
Check around for used ones; I've seen them for as little as $275.
Check out the Radios Shack HT's. I know many folks who have them and they
like them a lot. Seems they have a very tight front end which means you
wont get intermod as bad as some of the others. Most dual band HT's are
pretty broad so you can expect lots (or at least some) interference.
This radio * is the only ham HT I have seen that approaches the
durability of a Motorola HT. It is light-years a head of the W2A. I
have a 24AT which uses the same batteries. Myself as well as every
other person I know who has an Icom with those batteries has had a
problem with the battery rails (plastic) cracking and falling off. :(
Note: *=Yaesu FT-23R
Alinco radios are not bad. I have two of their mobiles, a 570 and a 590,
and I've found them excellent values. I don't own a DJ580, but several
of my friends do. I haven't heard of any problems. I use the Yaesu FT470
as my handheld radio. I like the user interface very much, and it has
a good thermal design, and an excellent battery saver circuit. However,
I'd encourage you to *not* make a handheld your first radio. I think
you'll find that a HT is less satisfactory than a mobile type rig for
most applications.
These comments were taken from the 20 or so responses I got to the question,
"Can anyone recommend a good HT to me?" The authors are, in order:

(To those of you betting that I would get involved in this, collect your

Amos 'n Andy were played by white folks. They was funny back then, and
they is still funny now. Rochester (Jack Benny's man-servant) was black,
not a white guy playing a black man. The humor in both shows was based
on situations. (Geeze, situation comedies, what a concept!) Jack Benny
because he was cheap, and A 'n A because they were poor and a tad dim.
If you wish to presume that I think all blacks are like those portrayed in
Amos 'n Andy, simply because I find it humorous, you've lost your mind.
And I refuse to appologize for finding it humorous.
You should rent the tape "Raw" by Eddie Murphy and then come back and tell
me about racist stereotypes.

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Good Day all... I saw the request for information about trying WEFAX and
decided I had to put my 2 cents in... I've tried a couple of the commercial
WEFAX packages and used the JVFAX that is available via ftp on several of the
machines.. I found that not only is the JVFAX cheaper to make (I did mine from
the junk box) and I know it can be done inexpensively from any parts store, but
when comparing the pictures obtained, you can't tell the difference from
the commercial boards.. I'm sure the commercial stuff does other things
as well but for a trial, I recommend the JVFAX.
It works just as well and is well worth the cost... I lost interest but
it wasn't cause it wouldn't do the job.
