Lemmesee -- most (if not all) of the 440 machines in Orlando use
a 103.5 hz tone for intermod purposes. Some machines of choice are:
442.075 AB4CQ Very High, East Orlando, Covers Daytona
to Leesburg to Lakeland and well south
of Melbourne.
443.100 WD4IXD Sea World Tower, use for initial or short
contacts, ragchew elsewhere
443.325 N4LOZ Good coverage, nice owner (Mid/West Orlando
as I recall)
442.700 WA4ULT Going to/from work repeater. Good coverage.
444.025 AB4CQ Ibid. Longwood, 350' or so, fair coverage
but nothing like the 442.075 machine.
There's four or five other machines, but I don't know their status,
some's up, some's down. 443.600, 443.700, 443.675, 443.275 may
be up (but then again...) I usually scan the list above.

If you want to learn to receive cw for conversation, forget writing any of it
down. You then need to think of words, not letters.

Subject: MFJ speaker/mics for Yaesu FT530
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
I am considering getting an MFJ speaker/mic for my FT530 mainly due to
the price.
How is the performance? I'm concentrating on the models which offer an
earphone jack in the plug itself and some sort of alligator (sp?) clip
for the belt. I'm also going for compactness. (Basically, a clip like
Radio Shack mics in the size of the standard Yaesu MH-18A2B mics).
Keeping all of this in mind, how the does the net respond?
Thank much.

Subject: Need volunteer operators for Bay to Breakers
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
I am cordinating communications volunteers for the San Francisco Bay
to Breakers race that will be on May 15th this year.
We will need 60 or so operators to help dispatch the medical teams
providing first aid for the runners. We hace a special need for
operators who are also runners themselves. One of the assignments is
with the Mobile Assistance Teams (MATs) who are on the course to care
for those who can't get to an aid station. The operators with these
teams should be able to run for a 1/2 mile and still be able to talk
when they get to the scene. Operators who are also medically trained
are a real plus.
If you wish to join us or want more info send mail to me
(droid@well.com) or call your local office of the American Red Cross
Bay Area and say you want to volunteer for Bay to Breakers. (Mailing
me is better since you will be communicating with me directly, and if
you can read this message you can send mail too.) ;-)

For the past year or so, I've had a very bad noise problem while
operating
on the HF bands. Since I've been a lot more active the past few
months,
this is really starting to frustrate me. The noise is not a real
choppy
sounding noise, but sounds more like VERY strong band noise. However
when I have this very loud noise, other stations within a few miles
have no noise. Neither of the two noise blankers turned up full blast
on my TS-930S do much good. I'm using a vertical antenna, so I can't
turn it to see which direction it's coming from. The noise is very
apparent on all HF bands from 1.8-28 MHz, 144mhz, as well as sparkles
on my cable TV. The noise doesnt seem to make it up to 450mhz though,
nice and quiet up there.
I have power lines directly in back of my house, but I don't think
they are the problem. I've had Southern California Edison come out a
few times over the past couple of years and they reported no problems.
The noise is not always there and varries in strength each time it
comes on. I think the noise is coming from some sort of appliance or
machinery from one of the neighbors' houses, but I have no idea how to
find it. It is a little baffling though, sometimes I won't hear the
noise for weeks, but is has been present this entire weekend 24 hours
a day.
Has anybody had experience tracking down and solving this type of
noise problem?
This sounds like a problem that drove me nuts for quite some time. Look for
a gas dryer or heater with an auto-igniter (as opposed to a pilot light). I
found my dryer will on occasion get stuck in a partially on condition at
the end of a cycle, causing the igniter to spark, but leaving the gas off,
the result is broad band noise and no TV (I'm too cheap for cable). :-)
I hope this helps. (By the way, since you are just up the road, I'm on the
Autonetics repeater during commute time, 145.915 (-) pl 136.5.)

Is anyone familiar with HAMCOM2.1?
I am wondering:
If this program actually works...
If I screw up building the receiver, will it be damaged (alright)
or will my computer be damaged (not alright)...
If more detailed construction instructions (sounds like Jesse J.)
are available...
If any other programs with more detailed instructions are availble...
I'd appreciate any thoughts anyone might have on these little matters.

I'm curious about nude QSL cards. Would anyone be offended if they
received a QSL card in the mail with nude people on it? Would it be
better to mail the card in an envelope? The envelope increases the
cost of mailing a QSL considerably, and cost a consideration when you
mail many cards.

Association, Ohio/Penn PacketCluster Network, DL7VEE & DXNL, DF4RD,
AD1C, W2JGR, K4CEF & Southeastern Cluster Group, WB5B, NL7TB N8AC and
VE1CBK for the following DX information.
3Y0PI, PETER I ISLAND. As this bulletin was being prepared, reports
indicate that the DXpedition team has worked over 50,000 QSOs. Monday,
February 14th, will be the last night for 80/160 meter operations. Tuesday,
February 15th, will be the last day for a full-time operations, if the
schedule for the pick-up ship holds. The ETA for the pickup ship is
February 17 or 18. This requires the team to start dismantling the base
about 48 hours before the ship arrives (February 15 or 16).
9I, ZAMBIA. Holger/DL7VTM (NODXA member), Birgit/DG9WYL and Lutz/DL7VLA
will arrive in Zambia on or about March 14th for a 3 week operation
until April 7th. The callsigns that Holger, Birgit and Lutz will be
using are 9I2Z, 9I2M and 9I2A, respectively. Their operations will be
on all bands (including the WARC bands) and also operations on AO-13
satellite. This will be the first satellite operation from Zambia. All
QSLs will go to Fritz, DL7VRO.
KP5, DESECHEO. AB4JI, KB4GYT, W4JKC, WA3YVN and VP2VE will be active
from March 1-7. They will be on 10-160 meters, CW, SSB and RTTY; and
possibly the RS-12 satellite. They will concentrate on the ARRL DX
Contest, March 5-6. The callsign will be KP5/AB4JI. QSL via AB4JI. They
are still looking for one more operator. Contact Robert, AB4JI, at
205-539-7665.
V3, BELIZE. Bobby, WB5B, and Mike, WA5TKC, will be active from February
19 to March 12 as V31BW and V31PP, respectively. They will operate from
two locations, Bobby on South Water Caye (NA-080) and Mike in the rain
forest area near Blue Creek. Mike will be operating 10-80 meters (SSB
and RTTY) and Bobby mostly CW, 160-10 meters. V31BW will be active in
both the ARRL DX Contests and the CQ WW 160 Meter Contest. QSL to home
calls. Both operators are providing video and data communications for
the "Jason Project", headed by Dr. Robert Ballard (discoverer of the
Titanic) in conjunction with the National Geographic Society. This will
give school students in the U.S., Canada, Bermuda and the United Kingdom
live educational "tours" from these locations.
VY1AU, HERSCHEL ISLAND DXPEDITION. Northern expeditioners will activate
Herschel Island in the Beaufort Sea for the first time in Amateur Radio
history. They will use the callsign VY1AU. The group will leave July
23rd from Inuvik where they will charter a float plane for Herschel.
The team will be leaving the island on the 28th. Their 5 day operations
will take place from Pauline Cove, a safe harbor on the east side of the
Island. Herschel Island is the Yukon's first territorial park, complete
with historic buildings and graveyards. Perched on the arctic edge of
North America, Herschel's southern shore faces the mountainous Yukon
mainland while the north shore is brutally exposed to the Arctic Ocean.
The Island, 9 miles by 5 miles by 600 feet high is a mere six-tenths of
a mile off the Yukon coast and accessible from mid-May to mid-September
by boat or float plane. They hope to have two stations operational from
a park building and use their generator. The Herschel Island DXpedition
team: Bill/VY1AU, Brian/VY1BE, Richard/N6IV/KL7, Larry/KF6XC, Carl/VE8CF
and John/NL7TB will handle the logistics/QSL manager duties. Operating
SSB frequencies will be 21260, 14260, 14130 kHz and plus some activity
on 40/80 meters. They will have a special event full-color QSL and also
a video (VHS) tape of the whole event made available from NL7TB. QSL
direct only to NL7TB.
XU, KAMPUCHEA. From the west coast statside, Sanyi, XU7VK, was heard
active on 3522 kHz at 1524z, 7009 kHz at 1700z and one day on RTTY on
14083 kHz at 1705z. Sanyi will be active thru the end of February.
ZK1, SOUTH COOK ISLANDS. Seven members from the Glen Canyon Wireless
Association will be active from Rarotonga, March 4-10. The group will
also be active in the ARRL SSB DX Contest as ZK1AVY.
ZONE 2. Wayne, VE1CBK (CY0SAB), and Maurice, VE3YYR, will be active from
February 22-28. Their main purpose is to operate in the CQ WW 160 Meter
Contest, February 26-27. Before the contest they will be working all
bands, but will concentrate on RTTY and SSB. They will also be on RS-12
satellite. QSL via VE3YYR. Wayne also mentioned that the CY0SAB cards
are in the mail.
ZS9, WALVIS BAY. Ian, ZS9A, will be on 160 meters shortly before sunrise
beginning February 14th. Look for him on 1815 kHz at or around 0400z.
ZY0SK AND ZY0SP, ST. PETER AND ST. PAUL ROCKS. After long delays trying
to put these stations on the air, finally last weekend, the group ran into
problems. Reports indicate that both stations lost their generators and
had to resort to battery power. With battery power the group was only
able to operate with 5 to 10 watts of power. This made them cut their
operations short and they went QRT on February 11.

Subject: MGT - Semantics - Coordinator 3/7
COORDINATOR. 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.

While there isot all of the info there that I'd like to see,
as a free service, it has made my life a lot simpler.
It has the Lat and Long in the info with other basic
info that I can start with. This will reduce the time
that I have to spend with the Broadcasting-Cable Yearbook
by a bunch... and it has the *translators* listed as well
... which is a major boon. That alone is probably enough
to get a number of folks that I know that also do
broadcast engineering to 'go' for a system that has
a connection to the Internet.
In short, *THANK-You* (shouting intended)
