And the keepers of the INFO server sure do appreciate it! Thanks.
The original poster was talking about our land-line bulletin
board. Those files are separate from the ones the Lab maintains
on INFO.
We do have a few of the files from the BBS but I have kept that
to a minimum because every time I checked the BBS files I realized
that they had been updated and we had old copies.

Ummm ... not really. DATA is a plural already, the singular being
DATUM. According to my Concise Oxford Dictionary, there is no
distinction between the singular and plural of BAUD. There's no
such thing as "bauds" in there either.
Cheers,
Simon.

Yup. And "first choice" and "second choice" don't mean one is more
correct than the other. Either is correct. Webster's Ninth
Collegiate says: pl _baud_ also _bauds_. And, on page 11 of the
dictionary, it says:
When another spelling is joined to the main entry by the word *also*,
the spelling after *also* is a secondary variant and occurs less
frequently than the first...
Secondary variants belong to standard usage and may be used according
to personal inclination.
So, use whichever form you like.

Somewhat along the same lines. . .
I purchase two Panasonic LCR12V2.2P lead-acid batteries for use with the
HTX-202. These are fairly nice 2.2 amp/hour batteries that are about the same
size as my HTX-202. I've used these batteries for hours on end without
having to recharge them -- much better than the stock NiCds. The only
"problem" I've run into so far is charging them. I have a small lead-acid
charger of the type you can get in the Automotive departments at Wal-Mart,
K-Mart, Target, etc. that is settable between 2A/6A charging rates. So far
this charger seems to be working well but it's a manual type and I'm not
sure how long I should charge the batteries. What I've been doing is letting
the battery drop to about 10 to 10.5 volts then throwing it on the charger
and checking it every 30 minutes to an hour with a DMM. When the battery
voltage increases to about 12 volts, I remove them from the charger and
put them back in the carrying case.
One thing is absolutely accurate: I could use some tips on charging lead-acid
batteries. The particular ones I have are stamped "Constant Voltage Charge"
with the ratings "cycle use: 14.6-15.0V and standby use: 13.6-13.8V." Inital
charge current is rated at 0.88A.

That formula will work for *air dielectric* lines, but isn't correct
for the more common cables with solid dielectrics of various values.
There's no easy way to determine the dielectric constant of a cable
by simple inspection.
You can attempt to measure the inductance and capacitance per unit
length and apply the formula
Zo=sqrt(L/C)

A couple members of the local club want to give this contest a try.
I read the rules briefly in QST and the exchange information is certainly
different from any contest I have done (read field day.) We'll probably
use a terminal and separate logging pc. Is there any software which handles
the "unique" scoring stuff for this contest?
I suppose we could do the loggin by hand since we probably won't make that
many contacts, but then whats the point of all this modern technology?? ;-)
Just wondering...

Subject: Help! connect my HT to Amp
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Dear All hams,
I got problem in connect my HT to Linear Amp.
equipments:
- Diameter 2 meter VSWR meter
- Stardard C160 (6v batteries)
- Yaesu FT-411 (borrow from my friend) (7.2 batteries)
- Daiwa 80 Watt Linear Amp
- Car 12 volt lead acid battery
- Diameter 2 meter Vertical Aerial X-50 (max 200 watt, with 4.5db in 2 meter)
Connection:
HT--( a 1 feet cable)--Linear AMP---(Meter)---(10 meter cable)---Aerial
I have connected my friend's Yaesu FT-411 to the Amp. It work very good.
and hit most repeaters with very clear signal.
However, when I tried to connect my C160 to the amp,the "on air" led
hold after I release the PTT. The signal that receive also very good.
It did not happen in my friend's FT-411.
Why the Amp continue to transmit after PTT released ? Why don't happen
in the FT-411 ?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In my expereince, this is very much true of 10M. One can tune the band
and find no, or very few, signals. Even when the band is obviously
open, one may find very few signals. As an example, I worked two different
stations on Pitcairn this last weekend and the weekend before. During
the CQ contest, lots of activity on 10M. This weekend, not many signals,
even when the band was open.
Of course, I usually listen up and down the band for signals, rarely
calling CQ. I think many folks do the same. If you think 10M is dead,
try CQ a few times. You might be surprised.

Subject: MPT/Buendelfunk in DE/Mobile Priv.Radio
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
I am looking for service providers of Buendlefunk systems in Germany
other than the Chekker service of Telekom.
(Buendelfunk, a kind of Mobile Private/Personal Radio is a MPT service where
several users share the same channels to do mostly halfduplex communication
of limited duration. Its a kind of trunked wireless service).
As far as I know there are
Preussag Buendlefunk, Salzgitter
Primus, Darmstadt,
Quickfunk, Villingen
Regiokom, Berlin
What are the technologies to be used? Is all of it MPT 1327/1343
Where do I get information on MPT? Is something available on the net?
But any pointer to literature or addresses is welcome.
I know the following technology providers:
AEG Mobile communications
Bosch, Mobile Communications
Surely there are others? I guess many telecom companies have a solution?
What are prices of customer equipment and service in your country?
What are the comparative (dis-)advantages of this
cordless service against PCN system like DCS1800, DECT, CT2/Telepoint.
Which service providers are there in other countries?
Does anybody know about implementations in Swizzerland?
Excuse the somewhat unordered question list.

I don't think it was meant to be unfriendly. Not all DX stations are
running 30 WPM and making 3 contacts a minute. There are penty of new
hams in DX locationsthat are in the same boat as new hams here struggling
with operating procedures and code speed.
The point is you can't expect to work a Bouvet or Peter 1 dxpedition until
you have developed the skills required to do it. There will be plenty of
operators with excellent skill that miss out on a dxpedition like that.
Run with the little dogs for awhile and develop the correct techniques,
before you know it you'll be elbowing it out with the wolf pack in the pileups.
The Novice license used to be kind of like a bunny slope at a ski hill. It
gave you a chance to operate with others at your skill level so that you
would be ready for what goes on in the other parts of the band. It is too
bad that so many hams are skipping over this and missing out on a valuable
part of their training.

About "Novice license" being the Bunny Slope...
I passed my Novice in November 1984. I didn't have a radio, and no means
to get on the air. My first QSO was in June 1986. I had FORGOTTEN most
of the letters! The novice bands were a fun, controlled environment where
a 45-minute QSO, in which all you got to exchange were name, QTH, RST, and
some basic info (yup, it was slow), was absolutely great. Chase DX on
15 and 10 meters, and during the winter, go down on 40 and 80 to chase
the WAS.
If I could have done the no-code, I don't know that I would have developed
such a keen interest in the HF stuff, because 2 meter FM is SO much easier
to do - kind of an instant gratification thing. Gee, I couldn't even get
on 10 meter phone then!
I SO anticipated getting my 13 wpm so I could plug in the microphone. Guess
what...
My 100 watt rig with a dipole just couldn't fish through the big pileups.
It was OK for basic ragchewing, but if somebody came in 1 kHz away, the
contact was over. I found myself getting <<REALLY>> frustrated with SSB.
Every time I flip on the radio, and go down to the phone band, and realize
how susceptible it is to interference, even with filters, I go back to CW.
It requires skill, on BOTH ends of the contact. It uses very little band-
width and can be filtered like mad. Last Field Day I was running QRP with
a dipole. On phone, I made 0 (ZERO) contacts in 2 hours of trying. On
CW, I made about 140 in 12 hours of operating. Rarely had to call more
than three times to get through.
Simply put, say what you will about it, for most of us CW is a much more
reliable mode than phone when working on HF, VHF, UHF, or really anywhere
else. SSB spreads that power out over a few kHz. CW has a punch. The
Novice license got me hooked - it was the only way in.
I LIKE the no-code license. My fiancee is a no-code. I'm just afraid, like
many others who are religious CW ops, that people who could really enjoy CW
are simply not learning it because there's DEFINITELY no instant gratifi-
cation. None. CW is a BITCH to learn and get good at. I'm still not all
that good, even though I can zip along at 25 wpm. I still make a LOT of
mistakes, especially when using the keyer, and I certainly don't copy
every single character that goes into my ears. But I get enough to fill
in the blanks.
After 6 years of CW operating, I FINALLY started to copy words instead of
characters. SIX YEARS of operating!
You'll have to pry my key from my cold, stiff hands,
