Thanks for typing that in and posting, Dave.  I found a couple of typos,
though:

    That should read: ARAL DX contest.  (though I'm not sure who the ARAL

You might check with the dealer, or even a cell phone installer for
tips, but I would suggest a nice diamond or comet gutter mount with
one of these ground independent gain antennas. I have had great luck
on my 93 Caravan using this same set-up. I hit all the repeaters that
I need to, plus great simplex range, and no holes in the roof!

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

             Solar activity was very low. There are but two simple
       active regions visible, 7688 (N19W20) and 7692 (N19E45).

            Solar activity forecast:  solar activity is expected to be
       very low.

            The geomagnetic field has been at unsettled to minor storm
       levels with substorms persisting during nighttime. The greater
       than 2 MeV electron flux remains elevated, in excess of 5.0E+04
       at various times during the interval.

            Geophysical activity forecast:  the geomagnetic field is
       expected to be unsettled to active early, then calm to mostly
       unsettled levels by the end of the period. Episodes of minor
       storming may occur during local nighttimes.

            HF propagation conditions continue to very slowly improve
        over all regions, but are still mostly below normal for the
        polar and high latitude paths.  Middle latitude paths are
        returning to normal and should be near-normal on 18 or 19
        March.  Near-normal propagation conditions are expected over
        all regions by about 19 March (or 20 March for higher latitude
        transauroral and/or transpolar paths).

I have heard somewhere that this is the proper origin. There was a magazine
published named Home Amateur Mechanic, in this magazine an artice was posted
on how to build an amateur radio. It was one of the first plans that was 
publically published. Therefore, as you can see, the nickname of this radio
became a HAM radio. This may not be accurate since it just came through the 
grape vine, but that is where  everything in this hobby comes from.

I just wanted to make a comment on WWW here.  I've been using Internet stuff 
for about 4 years, but last week a guy gave me a program called Mosaic that is 
a software interface to World Wide Web.  All I can say is: WOW!!  WWW allows a 
point and click interface to the Internet.  Instead of cryptic unix commands 
you can see everything and click the mouse on what you want.  You can click on 
a line and have a high resolution movie play on your computer with sound!  You 
can navigate FTP like Program Manger in Windows.  I clicked on a few lines and 
was reading the Dead Sea Scrolls which had pictures of the original 
manuscripts.  It is amazing!   All I'm saying here is that if you can get WWW 
access, get it.  It is a full multimedia superhighway - who needs Al Gore!

Now we return to your regularly scheduled scanner discussions...

Subject: March 1994 "RF design" Editorial
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu

The following is reprint from the March 1994, issue of "RF design" magazine.
It is being posted here to the amateur radio areas of Internet with the verbal
permission of the author, Gary A. Breed, the editor of "RF design".

RF Engineers: Paving the Information Superhighway

By Gary A. Breed, Editor

I'd like to clear up some misconceptions about who is building the "infor-
mation superhighway" or "national information infrastructure".

Although this universal communications network will carry information in
digital form, it is NOT being built just by digital engineers.  After all,
a normal superhighway carries cars and trucks but isn't built just by
automotive engineers!  No, the information superhighway is being built by
COMMUNICATIONS engineers representing RF, microwave, optical and digital
specialties.

Some people interpreted my December article as saying that RF technology
would benefit as a spin-off from the efforts being made in telecommunica-
tions.  That's the wrong interpretation, because RF IS AN INTEGRAL PART
OF THE PROCESS!  Here's how "RF design" readers are taking part:

RF LINKS -- This is the "wireless" technology everyone is talking about.
Cellular telephones, new Personal Communications System applications,
wireless links for personal computers, RFID "radio bar codes", no-stop
toll collection, data links for inventory reporting, wireless office
networks, remote meter reading and a zillion other applications.

COAXIAL CABLE TECHNOLOGY -- Your cable company simply takes ordinary RF
signals and transmits them through a cable instead of over the airwaves.
An intermediate step in the building of a new infrastructure will be extended
use of cable technology, which is completely RF!

FIBER OPTICS -- Lots of RF technology is found here too.  Light beams carry
the information through these glass fibers, but the circuits that drive the
laser diodes at one end, and recover the information at the other are very
much like radio transmitters and receivers.

MICROWAVE AND SATELITE LINKS -- This is RF communication at the higher
frequencies, but still RF.  The lower frequencies emphasized in "RF design"
magazine are a major part of these systems, too, in the modulation,
demodulation, frequency conversion, amplification and signal processing
functions.

HIGH SPEED COMPUTING -- Making the new infrastructure work will require
plenty of computing power.  There are some terrific digital engineers
designing computer circuits for high speed digital signal processing,
error detection and correction, and encryption/decryption.  But they also
need a solid footing in RF theory and techniques.  Remeber that a 66 MHz
PC operates with timing signals that would fall in television channel 3
if they were radiated like RF signals!

I think I've made my point -- RF is one of the key areas of engineering
that will make the new information superhighway possible.  Now that
Congress, the President and private industry are working together (at
least in this one area!), work is accelerating in the rewiring of our
nation.

I'd love to hear what some of you are doing to make it happen!

[END OF QUOTED ARTICLE]
************************************************************************

Mr Breed did not volunteer an internet address, so I assume that he would
only want feedback from readers of "RF design" magazine, and not from
those reading this in the rec.radio.amateur areas of internet.  Please
respect his privacy.

I would appreciate any follow ups or Email discussion of how all this
applies to amateur radio.  To again quote Mr. Breed, "I'd love to hear
what some of you are doing to make it happen!".  Indeed!  What are you
as an amateur radio operator doing?  Is it even a concern of yours?

The freqeuncies Mr. Breed was talking about were all VHF and higher.
As I have stated before, IMO, amateur radio needs to look beyond just RF,
and take a wider and more interdisciplinary approach to communications.

One last quote:  "No, the information superhighway is being built by
COMMUNICATIONS engineers representing RF, microwave, optical and digital
specialties."  What about us???

         Do we want to be just amateur RADIO...

             ...or can we evolve into amateur COMMUNICATIONS?


FLAME RETARDENT:  Please confine this discussion to the RF theory aspects
of amateur radio and the associated theory tests.  Leave CW, contesting and
public service out of it, and I think we'll be OK! ;-))

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu

 I've been seeing snippets of messages here and there about the Amateur 
rules and Packet, but've been unable to gleen a straight answer.  What are the 
current rules for message forwarding?  i.e. I want to set my computer up to 
recieve Internet mail, and then forward it over packet, is this kosher?
 According to a year old FAQ, it is as long as you "hand" forward the 
messages.  I really don't want to do that...  Furthermore, the FAQ specifies 
that the FCC sees Internet mail as third-party traffic, therefore must be 
screened by the control-op.
 Do these rules still apply?  Or has Internet Mail forwarding been given 
a blessing by the FCC?  What's up?

I found fcc_part-97-1 on 'buffalo' to be badly truncated and would
instead recommend what Bill Starkgraf (wps@ElSegundoCA.NCR.COM) wrote:

pull them from the ARRL server (this is only one place)  they will get mailed to you.
send mail to: info@arrl.org.  Your message (text body of the message) should only
include:

     send q-signals
     quit

Another way it to anonymous ftp them from one of the loactions out there that has the ham files.

                      POTENTIAL SATELLITE ANOMALY WARNING

                         UPDATED: 03:50 UT, 18 MARCH

ATTENTION:

     Energetic electrons at greater than 2 MeV continue to be elevated.
Highest fluence levels for this event were observed yesterday (16 March) at
3.1E+09 electrons/cm^2-ster-day.  Electron densities dropped somewhat to
moderate to occasionally high levels today.

     This event is expected to begin decaying back toward background levels
and finally end over the next 24 to 72 hours.
