Subject: Current mods on World
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu

I would like to thank everyone who so far has offered information on 
mods, whether their own information or pointers to FTP sites.

The following list shows the current directory structure of the mods 
section on world.std.com.  The path for those without World accounts is: 
/pub/hamradio/mods

As you can see, I have created different subdirectories for each 
manufacturer to help make it easier to find what you are looking for.

Please keep the mods coming, especially for mods not shown below or for 
updates to currently existing mods.

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.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------

             Solar activity was low.  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.

                        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.

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.

 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.

 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.

 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.

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.
