-
- 73 has fairly regular coverage of microwave activity. It isn't the most
- technical stuff out there, but it is exposure. At least the rag is trying.

-
- The individual who recommended a cross band repeater for a 220/440
- link had a good idea. I will try to arrange it with my friend (KA1OKQ)
- to have his radio do the trick for us. The two frequencies nominated
- are 223.60 (dir) and 446.6 (dir). This should take care of most interests.
-
- BTW the person who mentioned that he had never seen a 220 radio outside
- of a catalogue has just been on the wrong band all these years :-)
-
- Also for those without radios I'll try to suggest a meeting spot and time.
- Suggestions gladly accepted.

-
- I called the Hamvention office recently, and was told that they
- had LOST their P.O. Box that they have always used for registration.
- Seems that a certain DARA member forgot to pay the bill, and the
- box was rented to someone else. At that time they did not know what
- the new box number would be, or if the old one (Box 2205) could
- be recovered. They recommended sending in the registration to
- the old box, prominently addressed to DAYTON HAMVENTION TICKETS,
- with PLEASE FORWARD marked on the envelope.
-
- Today in the mail I got the January CQ, and the ad in there still
- has P.O. Box 2205 as the address. Also in the same day's mail I
- received my registration back, with the yellow forwarding sticker
- addressed to EVERYBODY'S INC. This as then crossed out, and the
- whole mess was returned to me.
-
- Anybody know what is happening here? My guess is that maybe DARA
- DID get the old box back, but because I had marked PLEASE FORWARD,
- that it got forwarded to the interim holders of the box.

- Then, what someone needs to do is contact the Dayton Hamvention management
- and try to arrange one of the meeting rooms for USENET.rec.ham-radio and
- ARPA.infohams participants.

- It also matters how creative the legal arguments get. Unfortunately, you
- often have to be VERY creative, costing lots of $$$$'s, to protect your

- I suppose there are times when trial by judge might be better. Obviously
- lawyers don't want experts on the jury because they can't sway them :-)

-
- IN RESPONSE TO YOUR QUESTION ON PTT KEYING, I HAVE A KENWOOD TR-2500 AND
- ITS SCHEMATIC SHOWS THAT EXTERNAL PTT IS ACTIVATED BY CONNECTING THE
- "GROUND" OR RING OF THE EXGTERNAL SPEAKER JACK AND THE "GROUND" OF THE
- EXTERNAL MICROPHONE JACK TOGETHER.
-
- IT SEEMS THE "GROUND" CONNECTIONS OF THESE JACKS ARE NOT AT GROUND.
- I HAVE JUST VERIFIED THAT THIS CONNECTION DOES INDEED KEY THE XMIT.

- I agree. If you are the control operator of the station that is passing
- USENET onto the amateur radio bands, it is YOUR responsibility in what
- goes through. If profanity or business or encrypted stuff goes out over
- YOUR radio, it's YOUR backside in the sling.

- Yes Gary, FYI, 'dweeb' is an acronym for Dim-Witted Eastern Educated
