I'm using >SuperMorse and listening to code on my radio. I remember Noting the lack of a call sign in you sig, I assume that you are not a ham yet. So I will not recommend getting on the air and using it. Instead, how about - listening to W1AW slow code transmissions and try to copy as much you can, even at speeds greater than your current copying ability. If you listening to a transmission at or below your current paper copy speed, then try copying it in you head. - get an iambic paddle and a keyer and send to yourself. This will give you lots of practice and get you ready for the air. - monitor lots of CW qsos and get used to the abbreviations and other features of cw ham radio qsos. This worked for me. I got my first license in July 1991 as an advanced. My first qso ever was at 13wpm or so with KC0IO, the day I got my license. He could not beleive that it was my first qso. What he did not see were my shaking hands and a 3x5 card in front of me with a fill-in-the-blank version of the qso. >hearing about a book or two that describes how to copy >behind and gives other hints and tips on copying code. > >Any recommendations or suggestions would be appreciated. > >Bruce >s Rajiv aa9ch r-dewan@nwu.edu ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Jan 1994 21:45:20 MST From: caen!destroyer!nntp.cs.ubc.ca!alberta!adec23!ve6mgs!usenet@uunet.uu.net Subject: Daily Summary of Solar Geophysical Activity for 15 January To: info-hams@ucsd.edu /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ DAILY SUMMARY OF SOLAR GEOPHYSICAL ACTIVITY 15 JANUARY, 1994 /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ (Based In-Part On SESC Observational Data) SOLAR AND GEOPHYSICAL ACTIVITY INDICES FOR 15 JANUARY, 1994 ----------------------------------------------------------- !!BEGIN!!

Numerous high B-class and low C-class flaring occurred this period, all optically uncorrelated. Region 7648 rotated off the disk. Two new Regions were numbered today. Region 7652 (N05E72) heralds the return of old Region 7640. Event level surging preceded its return. Region 7653 (S05W82) is the other new numbered region. At the moment, all regions appear stable. Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be low. Region 7652 will be the region to watch for the next few days as it rotates onto the disk further. The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly unsettled for the next three days.

High Latitudes Active 50/40/30 Minor Storm 20/10/05 Major-Severe Storm 05/01/01 HF propagation conditions were near-normal over the low and middle latitude paths, and near-normal to slightly below-normal over the high and polar latitude paths. No significant changes are expected into the foreseeable near-future. Generally good conditions should dominate through most of the coming week.

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.

Well, you are certainly right that I do not know that much about 2m synthesized transmitters but at least I tried to answer the question to the point. In fact I was surprised that no one responded in kind, only in legal advise which I am sure most people are already quite aware of. The point is that the question did not warrant judgement. > > What's wrong with ferrite inductors anyway? They're cheap and easy to > wind.... wo.. would you rather do the old-fashioned air-core thing? Ferrite core inductors are fine, when you can get the forms and inductors. In our grid, these things are hard to come by, as such air core inductors are the easiest to construct because it does not require special cores. This may not seem a problem to you because you have taken the availability of such parts for granted. Secondly, given the high-frequency of the said circuit, air-core inductors are quite normal and could be would without making the size too unwieldly. Thirdly, air-core is not old-fashioned. You can confirm this for yourself by opening any VHF radio or rig and you're bound to find some. >--scott Yes, I agree about self-policing. But it is precisely because of this self-policing that you should let the person who requested this information decide (ie: police) for himself, what is right or wrong. given that he already knows the law and the consequences of his actions (whatever they may be). He has not indicated that he would operate a pirate station, therefore there are no grounds for implicating him for such an act. All in all, goodwill and mutual sharing of information has both good and negative aspects. We'll do what we can, but playing God is not one of our called vocations. No offence meant. 9VG Daniel ------------------------------ Date: 17 Jan 94 19:18:17 GMT From: sdd.hp.com!col.hp.com!srgenprp!bsplaine@hplabs.hp.com Subject: LA Disaster Freq's?

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu Re: Portable 2m Antenna for Mountaineering??? Two items come to mind: 1) MFJ makes a portable beam in which the elements store in the boom. Haven't tried it but I do have a portable beam that works well. 2) Larsen Antennas makes a roll-up half-wave that you hang from a tree limb. Nice if you have trees nearby.
