The satellite controllers are thankful for the cooperation and patience of all amateurs worldwide who anxiously await the opening of the KO-25 BBS. KO-25 will operate in normal mode, 9600 bps FSK using the FTL0 communications protocol (same as Pacsats, UO-22, and KO-23). As the KO-25 on-board experiments are not completed yet, there will be some service interruptions from time to time. SaTReC controllers decided to open the BBS since the experiments remaining will not cause any serious problem with KO-25 service later on.

St. Helens eruption, the Loma Prieta earthquake, tornadoes, floods, wild fires and industrial accidents in great number and variety across the Nation; and WHEREAS, Congress finds that the amateur radio service has made a contribution to our nation's communications by its crafting, in 1961, of the first earth satellite licensed by the Federal Communications Commission, by its proof-of- concept for search and rescue satellites, by its continued exploration of the low earth orbit in particular pointing the way to commercial use thereof in the 1990s, by its pioneering of communications using reflections from meteor trails, a technique now used for certain government and commercial communications, and by its leading role in development of low-cost, practical data transmission by radio which increasingly is being put to extensive use in, for instance, the land mobile service: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. FINDINGS AND DECLARATIONS OF CONGRESS. Congress finds and declares that -- (1) radio amateurs are hereby commended for their contributions to technical progress in electronics, and for their emergency radio communications in times of disaster; (2) the Federal Communications Commission is urged to continue and enhance the development of the amateur radio service as a public benefit by adopting rules and regulations which encourage the use of new technologies within the amateur radio service; and (3) reasonable accommodation should be made for the effective operation of amateur radio from residences, private vehicles and public areas, and that regulation at all levels of government facilitate and encourage amateur radio operation as a public benefit. -- Marc B.

Assembled by yours truly. Works peachy. Why? I love to learn about rf and electronics. Can't get enough of it. I want to smell the solder, touch the resistors, and bolt down the cabinet. And, oh, the feeling when you turn it on and it works... aaah. OK, so maybe I've got lead poisoning, squinty eyes, and wrenched fingers. Still, I know where the rf is coming from, how the circuits work, and why that phase lock loop stays put. Hot ziggity! I've met John Ramsey -- you might think he's in business to make money. I know better ... he's in it (like most hams) for the fun. At a hamfest, I saw his wife give a kit to a beaming 12 year old kid who asked if he was able to build it. At his outlet, I watched John gave a half dozen free LEDs to a guy, saying "Here, figure out something to use these for." This weekend, I'm building his traffic radar kit; he tells you how to solder two coffee cans together. "...If you don't clean the surface, the solder will just roll up into little balls and laugh at you...". By Sunday, I'll be measuring the speed of cars zipping in front of my house. Sure, I could buy a radar set (though I don't know where), but thanks to Ramsey, I know how the doppler shift gets mixed down and sent into a frequency counter. Hell, I soldered that hot carrier diode. Yes, if you want the highest performance, buy a Japanese transceiver. You can't go wrong there. And for a bargain, hunt down some used gear. No complaints from me But to get a feel for the circuits -- for rf with love -- for happy electrons ... well, ask me what I'm using when you next hear me on the air. 73's Cliff Stoll K7TA ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Jan 94 11:34:10 -0800 From: netcomsv!netcomsv!lavc!steven.rosenberg@decwrl.dec.com Subject: RAMSEY FX TRANSCEIVER To: info-hams@ucsd.edu myers@sunspot.West.Sun.COM (Dana Myers ) writes: >6.
