ARRL proposes 219 - 220 MHz band plan
-------------------------------------
An ad hoc committee created by the Executive Committee of the
ARRL Board has released a draft of their report. The proposed
plan would use the band on a secondary, non-interference basis
specifically for coordinated, high speed digital point-to-
point communication.
The proposal requires that no Amateur station shall cause
interference to maritime mobile, fixed stations or other
mobile licenses operating in the band. All classes of licenses
may use the band. The Amateur operation must cease if harmful
operation is not corrected otherwise.
The maximum symbol rate of 56 KBaud for codes specified in
part 97.309(a) and a maximum of 100 KHz bandwidth for codes
not specified in 97.309(a). The proposal suggests 10 100 KHz
channels starting at Channel A centered on 219.050 MHz up to
Channel J centered on 219.950 MHz.
The stated objective of the band would be for a creation of a
nationwide high speed Amateur radio data link.

Could be something for our amateurs to keep an eye on, not

SARTG WW AMTOR contest (cont.)
----------------------
QSO-points : QSO with own country five (5) points, QSO with
other stations in own continent ten (10) points, QSO with
other continents fifteen (15) points. In Australia, Canada,
Japan and USA each call district will be considered as a
separate country.
Multipliers : Each country per the DXCC list will count as one
(1) multiplier on each band, including the first contact with
Australia, Canada, Japan and the USA. Each call district in
Australia, Canada, Japan and USA will count as one (1)
additional multiplier on each band.
Scoring : Sum of QSO points x sum of multipliers equals total
score.
SWL : Use the same rules for scoring, but based on stations
and messages copied.
Awards : To the top station in each class, country and
district ment above, if the number of QSOs is reasonable.
Logs : Logs must be received by June 10th 1994 in order to
qualify. All logs must contain : Band, date/time UTC, message
sent and received, points and multipliers. Use a separate
sheet for each band and enclose a summary sheet showing the
scoring, class, YOUR CALL, NAME, ADDRESS and a signed declar-
ation that all contest rulwes and regulations for your own
license have been observed. In case of multi-operator
stations, the calls or names of all operators involved.

unsettled, except for active levels from 0900-1800 UT on 24th,
and a period of minor storm levels 1500-1800 UT on 25th.
Ionospheric F2 critical frequencies at Sydney ranged from near
predicted levels to 30 per cent enhanced during the period
24th-29th March. Equipment failure prevented observation on
30th. Severe Spread F prevented foF2 determination at times on
26th, and Spread F was also observed on 28th-29th March.

Paper for Teleprinters
----------------------
Please, PLEASE, does anyone want some teleprinter paper, I
have boxes of it. It is triplex paper (three sheets of paper,
two sheets of carbon paper), you can have it for the cost of
freight (you pay the freight). This paper will work in any
pressure machine, or even typewriters, no good for tractor
machines. When you unroll it you finish up with three rolls of
paper and two rolls of carbon paper. The paper you can use,
the carbon -- well you can give it to the children to mess up
the house. Don't worry about the amount you want, I have
enough.

Actually the proposal involves the no man's land above CB (27.41) and
BELOW the amateur 10 meter band which starts at 28.000. Can you imagine
anyone trying to operate a reliable data radio service in a band which:
A) talks around the world when the sunspot cycle is semi-friendly;
B) is populated with an estimated 150K illegal transmitters of power
output levels from 4W to 4kW;
C) gets virtually no enforcement action from the FCC because the offical
occupants are federal governemnt stations not under the jurisdiction of
the FCC.
Maybe Bill Gate$ can afford to BUY all those interfering stations from
their illegal operators, in which case he then could also pay a
significant portion of the national debt and evict the Feds too! Or the
ARRL could convince him to fund a nationwide improvement of NTS/AMPR and
get the FCC to allow resale of time on the new digital traffic network!
No, this is NOT an April Fool article! 8-)

Subject: Question:ICOM 32AT Mod.
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Hello Hams!
I have recently picked up a used Icom 32AT handheld - of which I owned
one once before. I am performing the following Mods::
Expanded RF/Cross Band Repeator/10 MHZ Entry.
I have the book: Radio / Tech Modifications - by Artsci Inc., and have
followed their (one page?) mod. So I basically have the mod completed.
The Problem? Well this one page mod in this book is not very complete.
I need to tune the radio for the higher end. They tell you in a two
line "instruction" below the 10th step in the mod, to do the following:
(and I quote):
"Adjust C-510 to get .25 volts at UHF test point at lowest desired
frequencie. C-510 is located in metal box. The test point is
located next to the metal box."
[ end quoted text ]
it proceeds to show a diagram of the IC-32AT Logic Board, which was
mildly helpful, however no diagram of this area where this C-510 is.
While I had the radio apart - I had it down to the RF section - all
the way at the bottom of the radio (under that main board?)... and as
far as I can see THERE ARE TWO (OR THREE?) QUALIFYING "METAL BOXES".
No test point or C-510 is labeled.
---------------
---------------
Does anyone know where this test-point and variable capacitor is (for
sure) ??
Also my previous radio same model was tuned by another ham (for a price)
[ which I am trying to avoid ] - and he tuned other coils etc, however
neither the mod-book nor Icoms included docs is much help there.
The mod seems to have worked ok (I think?) Except for being able to
recieve higher on UHF, and there is no high-end tx on the VHF.
Thanks to anyone for any help! And if you have an info file - and
can send it to me somehow please do. I'm on FidoNet at 1:369/138.
and my bbs is up 24-hours on 305-938-7088. Internet
aspicer@sefl.satelnet.org, or inca!sefl.satelnet.org!aspicer. All msgs
are .forwarded to my mailer on FidoNet.
If you don't know (for sure) - save bandwidth! Don't answer! If you
do - Netmail, or Email Replies are ok - unless the info will be helpful
to the masses?

Radios? Oh, HAM on bike. I thought this was more about Porkers on Patrol.
Nevermind...
