  133. Hi all,
  134. I am going to take the Ham test _basic , tomorrow. now i was wondering and want
  135. some advice on what type of radio should i get and what make, what should i be
  136. looking for in a handheld, what price is good for a beginner, etc, after i get my
  137. licence.  i can only work above 30MHz as you all know, so i was thinking of a
  138. dual bander - 2m and 70cm  handheld. is  this a good choice, or what else will
  139. you sugggest. at the moment , more important is the price range i am going to be
  140. loooking at for a reasonable set. 
  141. For the set that you suggest where can i get it in Toronto.
  142.  
  143. Thanks in advance you your much appreciated advice to this (hopefully) very new

  168. The December, 1993, issure of Physics Today, published by the American 
  169. Institute of Physics, has an article about Russell Hulse and Joseph Taylor,
  170. who recently received the Nobel prize in physics for their discovery of
  171. the first binary pulsar. Near the end of the article, Hulse is quoted:
  172. "I came to ham radio by way of radiotelescopes. In Joe's case it was the
  173. other way around."
  174.  
  175. Interesting, too, was the fact that Hulse "is the fifth graduate of the 
  176. Bronx High School of Science to win the Nobel Prize in Physics."

  365.      by the Penticton Radio Observatory (formerly the ARO from
  366.      Ottawa).  High solar flux levels denote higher levels of
  367.      activity and a greater number of sunspot groups on the Sun.
