nslookup comes up with the following:
Server: meceng-9.coe.neu.edu
Address: 129.10.9.191
Name: [378.88.813.164]
Address: 122.88.45.164
I did this from my Northeastern University account.
It could also be a phone number, though I don't know how the Bosnian phone
system works.
Hope this helps.

Howdy,
Our ham club, Wabash Valley Amateur Radio Assn., goes to Dayton (~200 mi)
in a chartered bus (one-day stay). Costs us 25$ per person.
The bus drives right up to the front door and lets us out. Then it stays
in the parking lot where we can go to it and "take a load off" or get food
from our coolers. (Dayton HF food ain't too good.)
If one buys stuff, (s)he can stash it on the bus instead of lugging it
around all day.
Our bus stops for breakfast in the morning and for dinner in the evening
on the way back to Terre Haute.
Why don't YOUR club look into this scheme? It's the ONLY way to fly.

Why not use WD9EYB's H-P 48 program for logging AND duping?

Subject: Microwave oven shielding
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
I have a question to ask. While playing with my new Tropez 90 MHz phone
the other day, I tried putting it into both of my microwaves (no I didn't
nuke the phone :') and I guess I expected the shielding to cut off the
signal, thereby causing the out of range indicator to beep. The phone
was still able to communicate with the base. If the microwave cannot
attenuate 900 MHz, is it really attenuating the GHz stuff? Would
someone care to comment on the type shielding used in these ovens?

I did a similar experiment with my Motorola pager, which operates in the
900MHz band. I was looking for locations in my house where the pager would
indicate it had no signal (little antenna icons appear on the display!) and
tried inside the microwave. Sure enough, the pager couldn't hear anything
in there.
I don't know why it wasn't a suitable Faraday shield for your phone!

Is this like 'operating barefoot'? Where to they clip the HT's external

This is true if you are just passing through here and not planning on
staying here to live. If you plan to stay here to live you must contact the
Departement of Communications and they will issue you a callsign for the
area in which you will be residing. Otherwise for just passing through you
can use you current callsign and indicate that you are mobile within one of
the VE areas in Canada.

Subject: So what happened to the Kenwood TR-751 & TR-851 ?
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Upon trying to buy a Kenwood TR-851A, I was told that it was
"quietly discontinued" by Kenwood. Does anyone have any idea why?
Does anyone have a good suggestion for a good 440Mhz base unit ? I don't
really need the all-mode capabilities of the 851, but I liked the idea that
it didn't have teenie-weenie controls to make it fit in a car nicely.
