The following is a QST
The ARRL files against an instant ham radio ticket and the Red
Cross asks hams for help.
*****
ARRL FILES AGAINST INSTANT LICENSE
The ARRL said that it would challenge any move toward the
creation of an instant ham radio license and it has now put its
words on paper and sent them off to the FCC. This, in comments
opposing the commission generated proposal to grant immediate on
the air privileges to amateur examinees before a license is
issued by the Commission.
The League says that it stands by its previous statement in
opposition to a petition for rule making that resulted in the
FCC's proposal, in PR Docket 93-267. At that time, the ARRL said
in response to a petition by the Western Carolina Amateur Radio
Society VEC that such a system was both unlawful and a would be
detrimental to enforcement. The League said that the FCC had,
as recently as 1987, denied such a concept and that the absence
of an up to date database of such temporary call signs would make
both self regulation by amateurs themselves and rules enforcement
by the Commission more difficult.
The League now says that suggestions in the NPRM that
precedents for such a plan exist in other services are incorrect
and has reiterated its opinion that such a plan is inconsistent
with the international radio regulations. Instead, the ARRL has
emphasized that electronic filing of applications with the FCC
would accomplish the same goal. This, of reducing the wait to
get on the air, while maintaining total FCC oversight of
licensing.
As we've reported, AMSAT North America is in full agreement
with the ARRL but the rival National Amateur Radio Association,
many VEC's and several prominent radio clubs have gone on the
record of favoring an instant licensing plan. NARA and a number
of radio clubs say that in lieu of self assigned call signs, each
VEC should have a previously assigned block of calls that it can
issue on the spot. Most of those in favor of instant licensing
are however demanding that the FCC include better safeguards
against bootlegging than are in the original commission proposal.
The reply comment cutoff date for this proposal is February 10th.
Look for a decision on this one fairly early.
*****
ARRL BOARD MEETING HELD RECENTLY
A frigid Hartford, Connecticut was the scene for this years
first annual meeting of 1994 for the ARRL's Board of Directors.
The temperature was below freezing outside, but not so in the
meeting hall itself.
Board members spent their meeting covering a variety of topics
affecting amateur radio. A League committee will look into the
possibility of offering group legal defense insurance to league
members involved in lawsuits over antennas and rfi. The league
wants to loosen some of the rules governing spread spectrum
techniques. In fact the ARRL says it will file a petition for
rulemaking seeking to remove overly restrictive rules concerning
the use of spread spectrum communications. Board members adopted
an interim report and band plan recommendation for amateur use
219 to 220 Mhz. That one mhz slice has been proposed for limited
amateur use including packet communications. And the first steps
may be starting to change the 40m novice subband. A League
committee will consider possibly relocating that band. The
committees report is due in July. You will be getting a reminder
from League when your license is about to expire. That new
practice will also include sending a 610 form to help encourage
amateur radio license renewal.
A lot of what the ARRL board decided last week will definitely
affect your day to day ham radio operations for years to come.
*****
LEAGUE AT THE NAT
The ARRL is inviting Broadcast professionals and others to
visit its booth at the annual convention of the National
Association of Broadcasters, to be held March 21st through the
24th at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The booth, manned by ARRL Public Information Manager Steve
Mansfield, N1MZA, has in past years attracted several hundred
amateurs and former amateurs. Steve will be on hand to field
questions from those in broadcasting who are interested in
Amateur Radio. The League will be in Booth number is 2703.
*****
RED CROSS NEEDS HAMS
In the wake of the January 17th Northridge earthquake, the
Los Angeles chapter of the Red Cross says that it is in very
desperate need of hams to provide help on weekdays and weekday
evenings filling shifts in its quake relief shelters. Weekdays
pose a real problem for the Red Cross as many of their volunteers
have regular jobs. If you are coming to Los Angeles, have a two
meter hand-held and have at least six free hours, please call Jim
Prince at area code (213) 739-4510. This Red Cross says that
this work is vital to those made homeless by the recent quakes,
so please consider donating some time.
*****
WESTLINK REPORT NEWSLETTER ISSUE DELAYED
The Northridge earthquake has taken yet another toll. This,
in the ability of a popular ham radio newsletter to get its next
edition in the mail.
If you are a subscriber to the Westlink Report ham radio
newsletter, you may be wondering where edition number 665 is.
While it is true that Publisher Burt Hicks, WB6MQV is looking to
sell the publication, that's not the reason for the delay in your
getting the latest work. Hicks says that last weeks California
earthquake is to blame.
"While I was sitting at the keyboard at 4:30 in the morning
when the quake hit. It's only by the grace of God that I wasn't
killed as things came flying off the tops of bookcases and
speaker shelving. The computer was hit and sent flying. It took
me a couple of days to find it after unburying it. Yes, the
issue will come out. But, it is going to be a couple of weeks.
My apologies to our readers." Burt Hicks, WB6MQV, Editor of
Westlink Report.
While we had Burt on the phone we also asked why he has
decided to bow out of the ham radio publishing arena after
fourteen years.
"It has become quite a burden on us with my work schedule
shift at a Hollywood TV station. I work all night five days a
week. Then I have four children to keep me awake the rest of the
time. It's becoming increasingly difficult, I don't know maybe
it is just old age. I still love the newsletter, but at a
certain point your body can only handle so much." Burt Hicks,
WB6MQV, Editor of the Westlink Report.
Hicks says that he plans to continue publishing the Westlink
Report until a suitable buyer comes along. He says that he will
only sell out to an individual or group that promises to uphold
the same commitment to moral and journalistic integrity started
by his predecessor Joe Schroeder, W9JUV, in his HR Report. Hicks
adds that the next edition will soon be in the mail.

THIS WEEK IN AMATEUR RADIO UPDATE
A quick correction. A few weeks ago we reported on the return
of This Week in Amateur Radio to the satellite bands.
Unfortunately we got the transponder wrong. This Week in Amateur
Radio can be found on Galaxy 3 Transponder 17 with 5.8 MHz audio,
not on Transponder 19 as reported.
*****
NO DAYTON BUSSES
If you are planning to attend the 1994 Dayton Hamvention,
better plan to drive your car out to the Hara Arena convention
venue. This is because Hamvention planners have announced that
they will not be providing free bus service to hotels and motels
this year.
The problem is simply one of cost. Dayton first began
providing the free bus service after land adjacent to the Hara
Arena was made off limits for parking. Over the years, the cost
of providing the free bus service has soared until it topped the
ninety thousand dollar mark. That's simply more than the
Hamvention can afford to pay.
But over the past twelve months, much of the old parking
adjacent to the Hara Arena became available once again. Its now
privately owned, so there will be a nominal daily charge to be
decided by the owner of each lot.
Getting the parking spaces back means that the Hamvention can
cut back this expensive transport service, Now it needs to
provide shuttles only to outlying parking facilities such as the
Salem Mall. According to Hamvention General Chairman Dave Grubb,
KC8CF, this will be a savings of over forty-five thousand
dollars. Money that can better be spent on improving other
aspects of this yearly event.
Grubb adds that the Hamvention Planning Committee is also
working with the Dayton Chamber of Commerce and the city's
Convention and Visitors bureau. This, to see if either will help
to underwrite the cost of running busses from the various hotels.
In lieu of that, the Hamvention is also trying to get the hotels
and motels to provide this service for their guests.
The bottom line is that a few out of town visitors who fly to
Dayton for the Hamvention may be inconvenienced by this change,
but the enhanced on-site parking may make things a lot easier for
the vast majority of Hamvention attendees who drive.

TAPR MEETING
Tucson Amateur Packet Radio better known as TAPR has
scheduled its annual meeting for March 4th to 6th at the Best
Western Inn at the Airport in Tucson. The meeting will feature
presentations and papers on several new hardware projects,
discussions, and hands-on demonstrations. The afternoon session
on Saturday will feature a mini-symposium on future directions in
amateur packet radio. For more information contact Program
Chairman Keith Justice, KF7TP, at (602) 461-8687, or contact
TAPR at 8987-309 East Tanque Verde Road, Unit Number 337, Tucson,
Arizona 85749. Their voice mail system number is (817) 383-0000
and the fax line is (817) 566-2544.
*****
QSL STATISTICS
In DX, the ARRL says that its members in 1993 sent about 7
and a quarter tons of QSL cards to the ARRL Outgoing QSL Bureau,
and the Bureau shipped them out. This was a total 2,182,000
cards for DX destinations.
The US Incoming QSL Bureau's volunteers sorted just over two
million cards in 1993, as well.
*****
QSL ROMEO
Cards for the 9D0RR operation should be sent to Edward
Kritsky, Box 715, Brooklyn, New York 11230. The former address
of Box 776 belongs to Romeo Stepaneko and is now being used
only for his personal business. The change applies only to 9D0RR
cards. All other cards for Romeo still go to the Box 766
address.
*****
VIDEO WINNER
Emmy award winning producer Rich Moseson, NW2L has won yet
another honor. The ARRL reports that his video titled Ham
Radio Horizons was a finalist in the New York Festivals
International Non-Broadcast Media competition for 1993. The
awards were presented January 14th in New York City.
The 49-minute program introducing non-hams to Amateur Radio is
part of the CQ Communications video library, which also includes
videos on satellite operation, DXing, contests, and packet radio.
Executive producer Rich Moseson is also ARRL Section Manager for
Northern New Jersey.

I would like to know something.. What does the fcc do when they issue
all the call signs for a certain area?? Do they start over with call
signs that have not been used for a while, or do they just start issue
from another group?

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Does anyone have a cure for blowing the front end RF diodes in the Yaesu
FT757GX. In 1985 I had a problem with FM distortion on this radio and sent
it back to the factory for repair. They in turn replaced diodes D3, D13, D15,
and D19 on the RF unit. Fortunately that cured my problem until July of
1993. This time the entire front end went out whereby the transmitter
worked but the receiver went dead. I had audio but no signal output.
Again I shipped it back to Yaesu and this time they replaced 20 1SS83
RF front end diodes in the unit. Unfortunately this repair only lasted
6 months.
According to the now defunct Fox-Tango Newsletter this problem first
surfaced in 1985. At that time it was discovered that losing one diode
caused the FM distortion; losing ten or more caused no reception at
all (my problem). The suggested cure was to replace the ISS97 diodes
with 1SS83 for improved performance and reliability. Apparently
that is what Yaesu did, but six months is hardly very reliable.
Has any one else run into this problem and if so what was your cure?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Subject: The Amateur Radio Service Joint Resolution (QST Info)
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
( excerpted from QST, January 1994. -- kb8cne@uiuc.edu )
Do Amateur Radio (and Yourself) a Favor
Help protect your privileges for the future: Make Amateur Radio National
Policy. Here's how !
By Rick Palm, KlCE
Field Services Manager
Make this your New Year' s Resolution Number One: Write a letter NOW to your
representative and senators asking them to sign on to a bill that would make
Amateur Radio a congressionally recognized, national resource. This measure,
if passed, would recognize amateurs' efforts in emergency communications,
support us as "national policy" and would call for regulations that
"facilitate" Amateur Radio operation as a "public benefit." This is not a
"motherhood and apple pie" motion. There is real substance here, with
significant, tangible benefits for Amateur Radio. (For the complete text of
the joint resolution, see July 1993 QST, page 74, or write to ARRL HQ for a
copy.)
There's only one way it will happen: if you make it happen. Here's the story
of Senate Joint Resolution 90/House Joint Resolution 199, and how you need to
be a part of it.
Q. What's the big deal? Why is it so important?
A. To put it bluntly, the new law as proposed would be a big arrow in our
quiver for use in our constant battle against interests that would seek to
take our spectrum away, or otherwise limit our operating ability. This measure
affects all of usQnot just a single special-interest group within our hobbyQ
who need access to the radio frequency spectrum, the protection of which
should be our number one priority. You don' t believe there' s a threat? Just
look at the loss of 220222 MHz a few years ago. More challenges will follow.
The proposed law would also be useful, literally, in our own backyards, when
it comes time to put up our towers and operate our stations. Having a copy in
hand when defending that new tower before a public hearing in a zoning board
of appeals room won't hurt.
COSPONSORS
S J Res 90 and H J Res 199
The Amateur Radio Service Joint Resolution
November 30, 1993
(States with 100% of the delegation represented are marked with a
*)
ILLINOIS
Rep. Henry Hyde (R, 6)
Rep. Jerry Costello (D, 12)
Rep. Dennis Hastert (R, 14)
Rep. Thomas Ewing (R, 15)
Rep. Lane Evans (D, 17)
Rep. Glenn Poshard (D, 19)
(remaining state co-sponsors are listed below FYI)
TOTAL 22 senators
124 representatives
Q. Great! What are the particulars?
A. Two identical versions of the bill are presently in Congress: Senate Joint
Resolution 90 was introduced in the Senate on May 7, 1993 by Sen Charles Robb
(D-VA); the House version is House Joint Resolution 199, presented by Reps
Mike Kreidler (D-WA) and Jim Cooper (D-TN) with 13 initial cosponsors. If we
don't get enough cosponsors, the bill may die this year.
Q. What does all that gobbledygook mean exactly?
A. It means that these elected representativesQthe same ones who debate NAFTA,
the national debt, and foreign policy in war-torn corners of the globeQ felt
strongly enough about Amateur Radio to propose to their colleagues a
resolution commending amateurs and establishing Amateur Radio as a national
resource, much like they do for National Parks!
Each version must pass its own house before the law can be enacted. But it
must happen soon.
(...)
Q. How many do we have sofar?
A. We have as cosponsors 124 representatives and 22 senators. Not bad, but
we've got a long way to go. Remember, we are aiming for 50 senators, and 218
or more representatives.
Q. What can I do to help get this passed?
A. It's as easy as 1-2-3:
(1) Check the list of senators and representatives in the sidebar.
(2) If your senators and/or representatives are NOT on the list, please send
them a letter asking for support as a cosponsor. Explain that Amateur Radio is
a noncommercial radio service of volunteers who step in to provide
communications to the public in emergencies and contribute to the advancement
of technology through our tradition of experimentation. Give some examples
from your state, such as that tornado that ripped through your town, or the
floods that swamped neighboring farmland. If you can't come up with a local
example tell them how much hams helped out in the recent flood in the Midwest
(see December 1993 QST, page 21, and quote some of those stirring words from
the hams who helped out). If you can't send a letter, send your QSL card,
annotated on the back along these lines.
Please do it now so that your letter will be waiting for him/her when he/she
returns to Capitol Hill for resumption of the 103rd session of Congress. (Your
senators and representatives are listed in your phone book's "blue pages"
under US Government, or use the simplified address:
The Honorable John Doe
Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510, or
The Honorable Jane Doe
House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515
).
[(2a) (kb8cne) If your senator or representative is *on* the list, send
him/her a letter *thanking* him/her for recognizing the national importance of
the amateur radio service.]
And now the easy, but very important step: (3)Pat your self on the back for
being a part of the democratic process and helping make your government work
for Amateur Radio!
(Feb 94 QST Update)
Have you done it yet? That is, have you written your US senators and
your representative regarding the Amateur Radio Service Joint
Resolution, S J Res 90/ H J Res 199, and the Amateur Radio Service
Volunteer Service Act, H R 2623? You haven't? Go directly to January
QST, pages 54 to 56Qdo not pass GO; do not collect DXCC credits! Read and
react: we need your help in enacting the Amateur Radio Service Joint
Resolution and the Amateur Radio Volunteer Service Act, H R 2623.
New cosponsors of the Amateur Radio Service Joint Resolution who have signed
on since the January QST article was published (as of the time of this writing
on January 4,1994) include Rep. Glen Browder (D, 13, AL), Rep. Jay Dickey (R,
4 AR), Rep. Vic Fazio (D, 3, CA), Rep. John Lewis (D, 5, GA), Rep. Sherwood
Boehlert (R, 23, NY), Rep. Mike Sinar (D, 2, OK), Rep. Bill Brewster (D, 3,
OK), Sen. Thomas A. Daschle (D, SD), Rep. Norman Sisisky (D, 4, VA) and Rep.
Al Swift (D, 2, WA). Here's something you can do for Amateur Radio and for
yourself; don't miss your chance to be a hero!

Never! (no one can prove I stole that car :-) Interesting that you will try
to assasinate my character as a means of defending a wrong doing ...
I am not the judge and jury, I am a complainent. Last time I heard, freedom
of speech was still a right ...

Agreed, if I was prejudging ... but I have not. I have sent email to this
individual and he shows no remourse over his flagrant admission of illegal
activities. Prejudging is to assume that this came out of the blue ... Dom has
been trying to sell his illegally used equipment for quite some time now ... I
would *prefer* that it remain unsold (vindictive person that I be ;-/ ).
The question asked here is, do we want to *support* (deny is another topic)
entrance of people that are proud of their prior transgretions?
