- Despite what N8DGN said, QST has not "TOTALLY CUT all microwave coverage",
- just as they have not banned articles about CW, AMTOR. or mobile. They
- stopped carrying a COLUMN on this subject.
-
- Check out the 1990 ARRL Handbook. There is LOTS of microwave material,
- probably even out of proportion with current interest on the subject.
- The Handbook hardly qualifies as a "special interest publication", unless
- you consider amateur radio itself as "special interest".

-
- Regarding G6WBG's query, the FCC files that are used for publising
- the callbook are a matter of public record. I have known hams who
- wanted a bit more privacy, so they filed a form 610 to show their
- mailing address as a P.O. Box.

- Yes, 100 watts can be amazing. I worked 41 W/VE's and 41 DXCC
- countries with a 100 watts and a mobile whip. One contact that
- mystified me was CT500C !!! Where the heck is that???
- My father (a Extra class) thought it might be Portugal but with
- a call like that he didn't rule out a bootlegger.
-
- Does anyone have ANY information on the call CT500C?? The call
- is copied correct (and I stayed on frequency for 20 minutes while)
- the operator gave the call phonetically dozens of times for each
- contact..seems I wasn't the only one that questioned the call).
-
- By the way, is 65,079 points for a Technician for the 10 Meter
- Contest considered good???? :-)))))

- Is there anyone out there on MCI Mail or CompuServe who is ALSO on
- VHF packet, who might be interested in distributing a couple of
- bulletins on packet that they would receive via E-mail?

- >KH6xxx: "You're 59 Hawaii. QSL?"
- >N3xxx: "QSL. Thanks for Hawaii! How's my signal out there?"

- > :-)
-
- Totally consistent with:
-
- N3xxx: "You're 59 Pennsylvania, please repeat your call, report and state"
-
- So why do they require signal reports in contest exchanges?

- Message-ID: <1780@ultb.isc.rit.edu>
-
- I am trying my best to compile a list of amateur radio clubs at
- colleges and universities around north america and the world. I'd
- like to start a net - maybe monthly? - to exchange ideas and to
- report about what we're all doing - Is anybody from a university
- club interested? (There are so many 'dead' clubs - well, I have
- brought R.I.T.'s back from the dead this year, after two years
- of virtual inactivity).
-
- I am usually on ultb.isc.rit.edu, so if you have internet, either
- talk or otalk to me and I'll surely answer.
