Thought this might be of interest to everyone. If 11M goes up for bid
lets each kick in a few bucks to win it back...

************************************************************************

 WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Federal Communications Commission took a
first step Tuesday for setting the ground rules by which businesses
can bid for certain chunks of the airways.
 The FCC adopted ``generic'' rules for auctioning radio
frequencies for a variety of new services, including the next
generation of mobile telephone service called personal
communications service.
 The rules will:
 -- Allow several auctions to be conducted at the same time.
 -- Require $2,500 as a minimum up-front payment for parties to
participate in the auction.
 -- Set deadlines for payments on winning bid.
 -- Set aside a portion of the frequencies to be bid on by women,
minorities, rural telephone companies and small businesses.
 FCC Chairman Reed Hundt said the rules set the stage for ``the
most important disposition of public property'' since the Oklahoma
land rush.
 More detailed rules for specific services -- notably lucrative
personal communications service licenses -- will be decided later
this year.
 Companies obtaining personal communications services licenses
will be able to offer consumers the next generation of mobile phone
service, in which the number travels with the phone's owner.
 The FCC is exploring all options -- electronic, oral and paper --
for submitting bids, said Robert Pepper, chief of the FCC's Plans
and Policy Office.

Ha ha - I see you deleted what you wrote about me (something about a 
`deranged professor blowing up a restroom' - so who started this
`nonsense', Angus? When are you going to learn that if you post
something about me I'll post back? 

I've got to go find what you originally posted that prompted me to write
above. What's that old expression? `You can dish it out but you can't
take it'? When you finish, so will I.

Yeah, your `body parts' newspaper article was rather lame.

But you've got the .435 personality! Speaking of inuendos, do you actually
believe that I'd blow up a restroom with plastic explosives? You've been
breathing too much of that Compton smog (oxygen starvation).

My offer still stands: Let's take this to email so the rest of the good folks
on .misc don't get pissed. This has REALLY gotten boring and childish.

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

             Solar activity was very low with only a single B-class
       xray burst for the entire period. All regions are in slow
       decay.

            Solar activity forecast:  solar activity is expected to be
       very low to low. Region 7685 (S08W17) has the best chance of
       C-class flaring.

            The geomagnetic field has been at active to major storm
       levels for the past 24 hours at middle latitudes and active
       to severe storm levels at high latitudes because of a well
       positioned coronal hole.

            Geophysical activity forecast:  the geomagnetic field is
       expected to be mostly active at middle latitudes and active to
       minor storm levels at high latitudes for the entire forecast
       period.

                        Major-Severe Storm    15/15/05

            HF propagation conditions were below-normal over most
       regions.  Hardest hit were the high and polar latitude paths,
       particularly on night-sector transauroral circuits where poor
       to occasionally near useless propagation existed.  Middle
       latitudes have also observed fair to occasionally poor
       propagation over the last 24 hours.  Conditions are expected to
       continue below-normal over the next 24 to 48 hours.  A gradual
       improvement in propagation can be expected on and after 11
       March.

     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:

          Continuum = Continuum Radio Event
          Loop      = Loop Prominence System,
          Spray     = Limb Spray,
          Surge     = Bright Limb Surge,

NOTE: Stratospheric warming exists.  A large warm region exists from central
      and northeastern Siberia to Canada and the adjacent arctic with a
      temperature increase of about 30 degrees C at 10 HPA over the Canadian
      Arctic.  The temperature gradient is reversed between 60N and the pole
      from 10 HPA upwards into the upper stratosphere.

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

            Solar activity was at very low levels.

            Solar activity forecast:  solar activity is expected to be
       low levels. Region 7685 (S08W3E1) appears to have the greatest
       potential of producing a C-class flare.

            The geomagnetic field has been at unsettled to major storm
       levels. Periods of severe storm levels were observed at high
       latitudes.

            Geophysical activity forecast:  the geomagnetic field is
       expected to be mostly at active levels. Minor storm conditions
       are expected during local night time.

                        Major-Severe Storm    15/10/10

            HF propagation conditions continue to be poor to very poor
       for transpolar and transauroral circuits, particularly during
       the local night hours.  Middle latitudes are also experiencing
       minor signal degradation, but not as seriously as the higher
       latitudes.  Conditions are expected to begin improving on 11 or
       (preferably) 12 March.  The high and polar latitudes will
       likely take several additional days to recover from this
       activity.

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.

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu

I have a Yaesu FT-726r for sale included are modules for
2 meters 430-440 mHz and 10 12 and 15 meters. It also has 
a satellite board. It is in excelent physical and operating
condition. I am asking $800.00 fob or if prepaid I will ship.
This would be an excellent starter satellite rig. That is why
I bought it and have since moved up.

Techni-speak (I made it up) can be fun:  Like the time I discussed wire

this will teach me to not to do the high wire math w/o my punishability and 
modern sadistics book around....(only 1 in 285?...maybe that's where the 
VECs can rake in some bucks....those that know code pass, those that play 
the CW Lottery keep plunking down the bucks...and the losers are probably 
easier to process than the "winners"....)

I did that in New York when I did my general in the mid 60's.  Someone
came over with his bug looking for a place to hook it up.  The examiner
said "you don't need THAT."  After that I waited more than 20 years to
get extra--even though I could copy 20 I knew I couldn't send well
enough with a straight key.

I am searching for some of the frequencies for this station.
I need it sometime today, and I have no way of looking for it 
other than by computer. Could someone please email me a few
of the operating frequencies of WWV; especially those that
can be picked up easily on the West coast. Thnks...

I've also considered using a good size guy wire insulator. Only because
I have a number of sightly used ones, courtesy of the local REA. I use
wraps (guy grips) instead of cable clamps on the steel cable (just my
preference). A few months ago there was a rumor that P.R. would soon
come out with a version of Phillystran that uses wraps. Anyone have info
on this??

Ahh, but try anonymous ftp, not a login.  It just worked for me, and then you
can download the files you want.

No way - the signal to noise ratio is far too low to even detect a signal.
