Studies tracking cancer rates among farmers show hot spots as well as areas of reduced cancer incidence among farmers in various parts of the country. No correlations to pesticide or fertilizer types or usage have been found, just geographic anomalies. What that means isn't exactly clear, but it shows that there's no one to one correlation between either pesticide or fertilizer use and cancer incidence. (My personal *opinion* is that what's being seen is the result of genetics, IE farmers aren't known to move about much and tend to marry locals, so genetic predisposition for certain cancers can be amplified in certain geographic areas.) Farming, of course, continues to be the most dangerous occupation in the US with more occupational injuries and deaths than any other large scale occupation. By comparison, the occupation of police officer is rated rather low on the scale of occupational risk. Just goes to show how perceptions and reality often don't match.

Plenty of transceivers can be "easily modified" (whatever that means) to pick up cellular. Heck, some of the HTs in there like the Icom W2A and 2SRA tune cellular without modifications.

But you're right in that most land-mobile radios tend to use SO-239 instead of N. But buy a UHF repeater and guess what, N connectors. By the way, I've finally met an N connector that I like. It's for the 9913 and it's GREAT!

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu Around 25 years ago, I started to receive and exchange letters with a Russian ham - Anatoly Repin who at the time had held the callsigns UV0IA and UW1BF. We exchanged several letters and photos. Our letters trailed off after I moved away from home for college and career. Then, a couple of years ago, while living in Japan, I once again started receiving letters from him forwarded to me from my US callbook address. This time he explained that he was an ethnic Finn and now used the name Toivo Laimitanen. His current callsign is RA3AR. He sent several photos of himself and I have seen seen some of these photos appear in the past year or so in a couple of ham magazines (QST and DX Magazine, I think). His letters have described some of the severe hardships he faces in the current times in Russia. I am curious to know if any other hams have had similar exchanges with him or others in the former Soviet Union.

This is probably the most misunderstood word in this field. It is a common title in California but prohibited in Hawaii government. It appears that most coordinators are facilitators and have no authority. For those coordinators who indeed have authority to provide direction and control, we feel they should have another title. In the future we shall provide you a very illuminating article written by a newspaper reporter on the public confusion over the title coordinator. To add to the confusion, some coordinators are really planners who are neither facilitators or managers. EMERGENCY COORDINATOR OR "E.C.": The title of a volunteer appointed by the American Radio Relay League, an association of Amateur Radio operators who sponsor a special interest group called the ARES or Amateur Radio Emergency Service. The ARES provides vital health and welfare communications and support to disaster relief agencies such as the Red Cross, the Salvation Army and others. In some cases an ARES EC may develop an agreement specifying that ARES people will "switch hats" to provide RACES support to a local government agency. Where the EC is the RACES Radio Officer it takes an exceptionally well qualified person not to confuse those two distinctly different roles: the RACES is only Public Safety communications and the ARES is predominantly public service. The title Emergency Coordinator is also used by some jurisdictions in another context and has no connection with Amateur Radio. (3 of 7.

Readership is up dramatically in all active newsgroups (closely following Usenet's predicted exponential growth patterns). Previously tied, rec.radio.amateur.misc has surged ahead of rec.radio.shortwave, which is running second this month. Other newsgroups with extremely strong showings are rec.radio.swap and rec.radio.amateur.policy (meeting their respective goals of keeping for-sale messages and extended legal debate out of the main discussion newsgroup). Currently, rec.radio.amateur.homebrew leads the other new rec.radio.amateur newsgroups by a slight margin, although all are roughly at the same order of magnitude. The recently-created rec.radio.scanner is slowly gaining in readership as well, its propagation almost tied with alt.radio.scanner, which it supersedes. Recently, Chris Yoder (chris@tali.hsc.colorado.edu) sent out an rmgroup for alt.radio.scanner. Unfortunately, a user at another site (infamous for doing these things) took Chris's rmgroup message, converted it to a newgroup message, and sent it back out. Because of this, alt.radio.scanner will not be deleted at sites that obey control messages automatically. Be advised that the newgroup message is a forgery and only the rmgroup message should be carried out. It is expected that the newly-created newsgroups will continue to grow in readership like previously-created newsgroups such as rec.radio.info and settle out at about 60-70% propagation. If these new radio-related newsgroups still haven't reached your site, please ask your news administrator to create them (refer him/her to the new newsgroup announcements by Dave Lawrence in news.announce.newgroups or the messages posted to the new newsgroups piling up in "junk" :-). Especially point out to him/her that cost/per-reader/per-month is significantly down in all newsgroups. The defunct newsgroup rec.radio.amateur.packet has been rmgrouped as of September 21st, 1993, and is no longer connected to the PACKET-RADIO mailing list. Netters interested in packet-radio discussion should use rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc and the HAM-DIGITAL mailing list. Propagation and readership continues to drop in the old newsgroup, which is currently in last place among all the rec.radio newsgroups. If this newsgroup still appears at your site, ask your news administrator to rmgroup it. Note also that the defunct rec.ham-radio hierarchy reappears this month. If the newsgroups are still active at your site, please try to persuade your your news administrators to delete them as these groups have been rendered obsolete (for over 3 years now) by the rec.radio.amateur hierarchy. -- 73, Paul W.

Let's call the voltage applied between E1 and E2 "V". Since there are equal and opposite voltages on the two terminals, the voltage applied to each is V/2. If, for example, V = 73 volts, the current in the dipole is 1 A (since the radiation resistance is 73 ohms.) With the ground plane, the impedance of each 1/4-wave element is 73/2 = 36.5 ohms. Since you have half the voltage (37.5 V) applied to each half, the current is still 1A in each 1/4-wave element. The resulting field is the same for the ground-plane case as for the dipole in free space. It is as if the other half of the dipole were still present. That's where the concept of the "image" antenna extending below the ground plane comes from.

Not around here. 20db quieting is the minimum acceptable for links that I and my friends engineer; we prefer to get 'FULL' quieting out of a radio, which I have often measured at 30-40db or better.
