To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Hello there everyone,
Well this is my first post to the wonderful world of Internet so if I have
done something wrong please let me know.
I am looking for an extended transmit mods for the IC-2410H from Icom. I have
already cut D8/D9/D10 diodes. I have a mod for the extended VHF TX but will
that also work for the UHF? If not does someone have the correct procedure?
Any help would be appericated. Please mail responses to:
hallock@matt.ksu.ksu.edu
Thanks for your help,
Chris N0SGL

The QRP Quarterly, QQ, is published by the QRP ARCI, QRP Amateur
Radio Club, International. It comes out in Jan, Apr, July, and
Oct. Don't know where you'd get a copy to check out: ask around
for local QRP ARCI members.
Membership in ARCI is $12(US) for new members and $10(US) for
renewals thereafter. For DX, $14 and $12 US funds or L7 and
L6 (where L is pounds).
Send membership fee with your name, call, and address indicating
new or renewal to:
Mike Kilgore KG5F
2046 Ash Hill Road
Carrollton, TX 75007
or
if DX
Dick Pascoe, G0BPS
Seaview House
Crete Road East
Folkestone, Kent CT18 7EG

QRP ARCI is a non-profit organization.

According to a recent posting here, which I believe was credited to ARRL,
there are exemptions in every state to mobile scanner laws for licensed
amateur radio operators using amateur radio transceivers. A logical, but
so far untested extension of the current FCC preemption should extend to
amateurs who step out of their vehicle but are still using amateur
transceivers. Nothing in the previous actions covered scanning receivers,
just amateur transceiving equipment (which must be FCC type-approved).
You also might want to check further into the local ordinances to see
exactly what activity or physical hardware is being prohibited. They are
probably prohibiting the USE of receivers on police and/or public safety
radio channels. Check with ARRL and/or the FCC Field Enforcement Office
serving your area for further information and regulatory updates.

Ionospheric Signal Analyst
** THIS IS THE LAST WEEK OF THE SPECIAL OFFER **
Can your propagation software do this? See previous weekly reports for
additional features:
- Generate Broadcast Coverage Maps showing regions of high or low
ionospheric focusing or defocusing.
- Produce contoured global maps of the maximum height of the F2 layer,
ionospheric M-factors, or even critical frequencies of the E and F2
layers, for any date, time, or level of geomagnetic activity.
- Produce global monthly median maps of ionospheric quantities (MUFs,
foF2, hmF2, etc) in complete agreement with the International Reference
Ionosphere, for any date, time of day, or sunspot/solar flux number.
- Display cross-sections of the ionosphere between any two geographical
points, showing you the internal structure of the ionospheric layers,
ionospheric layer tilts, effects of the Equatorial Anomaly, etc.
- Show fully contoured maps of magnetic latitude and longitude, magnetic
inclination angles, and even the total magnetic field strength.
- Include effects of polar cap absorption (PCA) and solar flares in
signal quality computations.
- Determine propagation conditions during any time of day, while
including effects from sporadic-E, PCA, solar flares, and geomagnetic
and auroral storming.
- Rigorously compute maximum usable frequencies (MUFs) and optimum
working frequencies (FOT) between any two geographical locations using
ray-tracing results, for any date, time, or level of geomagnetic
activity.
MUCH MUCH MORE . . . Bar none, one of the most elaborate propagation
packages available for amateurs and professionals.

NOTES:
These VHF DX prediction charts are defined for the 30 MHz to 220 MHz
bands. They are based primarily on phenomena which can affect VHF DX
propagation globally. They should be used only as a guide to potential
DX conditions on VHF bands. Latitudinal boundaries are the same as those for
the HF predictions charts.

Kevin, the range is locked out because it is a violation of FCC Rules to
transmit in that land mobile frequency band on any radio not type-accepted
for land mobile service in that window. The Yaesu folks and their dealers
could not sell the radio in the USA if it was capable of operating
illegally.
According to the FCC rules, if you want to operate in the Part 90 land
mobile spectrum, you are required to use a radio type accepted under Part
90 and
have a valid station license in the appropriate radio service. If you need
furhter information, contact the FCC FIeld Office serving your area.

The statements and opinions expressed here are not those of Motorola Inc.
Motorola paid a marketing firm a huge sum of money to get their opinions;
they have made it clear that they do not wish to share those of employees.

How were you able to find when your callsign was issued? I'm anxiously
awaiting my very first Novice + HF callsign, and would love to know
what it is before it arrives. I know I can't XMIT without the paper, but
I could get a jump on my personalized license plate! ;-)

If you're ever visiting Nashua, NH, stop by KA1DT/R at 224.28 and 147.045.
It's our very basic, open to all, no patch, no voice mail, not even an "over
beep".
KA1DT/R Rule 1 -- There are no rules except what the FCC requires.
KA1DT/R Rule 2 -- See Rule 1.
I just couldn't resist. . .
