Happy Easter to all! ------------------- 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. reprinted from the RTTY Digital Journal March 1994 Could be something for our amateurs to keep an eye on, not necessarily on the same frequency. --------------------------------------- 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.

SUMMARY OF ACTIVITY Solar activity was very low 24th-29th March and low on 30th. The geomagnetic field at Learmonth (WA) mostly quiet to 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. FORECAST FOR THE NEXT WEEK (31 MARCH - 7 APRIL) SOLAR: Very low to low. GEOMAGNETIC: Quiet to unsettled then coronal hole-induced active to minor storm levels are expected to start 3 April. IONOSPHERIC enhanced 10 - 15 per cent then depressions up to 20 per cent from predicted monthly values are expected after 3 April.

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!

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?
