To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
I have ordered (as part of a group purchase) the Yaesu FoxTango
newsletters from IRC. Unfortunately, the 1974 newsletters are no
longer available. I would like to obtain copies of the 1974
newsletters. Does anyone have them? I would be more than happy to
pay for copying charges.

The following article was lifted from the February 1994 edition of the
California Public-Safety Radio Association (CPRA) newsletter and is
written by Mr. Robert A. Stoffel. Mr. Stoffel is the Operations
Chairperson. CPRA is a Chapter of Associated Public-Safety Commu-
nications Officers, Inc.
I've edited the text very lightly, but the information is unaffected.
The article is posted in rec.radio.amateur.misc because amateur radio
is discussed as a disaster recovery aid.

NEWS AND VIEWS FROM THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE
. . "Attention All Units and Stations"
Greetings from the Operations Committee. Everyone in Southern
California is still talking about the recent earthquake, so I thought
I would take a trip to the public safety communications center that
was closest to the epicenter. This was of course the California State
University Police Department at California State University,
Northridge. The Police Department is on the first floor of a four
story building located on the campus. The other three floors are used
for student dorms.
Cal State Northridge Police Dispatch is like your typical small
sized law enforcement operation. The Police Department operates on a
VHF high-band simplex radio system, with a remote base located on top
of an eight story campus building. A backup local base is also
installed at the police building. Communications on this channel,
plus several other campus operations is accomplished from a two-bay,
Motorola CentraComm II console. The center also houses a compliment
of equipment, including a CLETs terminal, CCTV monitors, alarm panels
and printers.
During the early morning hours of January 17, only one dispatcher
and one patrol unit was on duty. Most of the campus was vacant, as
the school was on recess. Only about 500 students were living in
campus housing facilities, as opposed to the 2,000 that are normally
on-site when school is in session. This of course doesn't count the
many thousands of students who would have been on campus if classes
were in session. At 04:30:55.3 (local time) the M6.8 earthquake struck,
and immediately knocked out all power and telephone systems. All
contents inside the dispatch center went flying, and the immediate
structural damage started. The emergency generator did not start,
causing failure of the base station radios and loss of all power. The
dispatcher was able to escape flying and falling equipment until the
shaking stopped, however, the damage was so severe that the doors were
jammed shut, preventing an exit from the building. Another officer
was able to help the dispatcher escape, On the way out, all portable
radios were grabbed and brought out with them.
With no place to go, all operations were moved to an open field
on campus. Operations continued in this field for the next 24 hours
until inspection teams checked the damage and declared it safe to
return. Officer Dana Archer, who was off duty at the time, arrived on
campus within a couple of hours. Having a background in communica-
tions, Dana was able to improvise a field dispatch center.
This was accomplished by taking a mobile radio, hooking it to a
power supply, then to a portable generator. A car antenna was used as
the "base" antenna. By the second day Cal State University, Fullerton
provided a mobile command post trailer that was used as a field
dispatch center, especially during aftershocks when the main building
was again evacuated.
Officer Archer provides some food for thought, after experiencing
the devastation of this earthquake, for other dispatch centers. Start
with the basics, like ensuring all equipment in the center is secure,
and supplies like water and food are readily available.
From that point, make sure that bigger things are established in
your agency. For example, each agency should have a designated ECO
and a mobile command vehicle that can accommodate a communications
center operation, should it be necessary to evacuate your own center.
Have some type of back-up communications equipment that can talk to an
adjoining agency. Cal State Northridge Police have an LAPD radio, and
all emergency requests for law and fire assistance were placed over
this radio, since all phone lines were down. Several fires broke out
on the campus, and this was the only link available for obtaining
assistance. Finally, use the resources of amateur radio. If not
established, start a RACES program to supplement and support the
communication needs of your agency when disaster strikes. Cal State
Northridge does not have such a program in place, but Officer Archer
noted that if they had, it would have been an excellent way to commu-
nicate with the "outside world".
I want to thank CSUN Police Office Dana Archer for taking the
time to give us all something to think about, and items to check on at
our own dispatch center. He leaves us with this comment, which
applies to every agency, large or small, "If you are expected to
provide public safety service, you have to have a plan, a back-up
plan, and the facilities to handle an emergency such as this."

Gosh Michael,
My cursive is so bad, *I* can't read it after I write it.
My lettering is guite good (many years of Mechanical Drawing experience)
and so I use lettering for all handwritten correspondence, and CW copy.
However I've had to adopt hybrid style to copy at 25 WPM (my current
threshold). As stated in an earlier thread, I've tried typewriters
with poor luck, as they are less easy to correct.
What I use is a lowercase cursive 'e' (looks like a squiggle) for "E"
a lowercase "t" with a long tail and no cross for a "the".
a "Plus sign" for "and"
I'd be interested to know what abbreviations others use for characters/words

"E" is the hardest letter to copy fast in Morse code for two reasons:
It is the fastest to send (a single dit) and the longest to write
(4 separate lines). The standard solution most telegraphers have used
for decades is to write the "E" in a single motion like a backwards "3".
Fortunately, the other short letters (T, I, S) are also fast to write.

It sounds as though Mark Twain was right when he described golf as
"A good walk ruined."
I wonder if just hanging around all those country club types
could cause cancer.

I need help obtaining crystals for a GE MasterPro Repeater

would have them. I have the tubes already.
I just want to start out testing the thing simplex so I can

First the "codeless" TECHNICIAN license. Then an article in the amateur
radio areas of the internet on "erection aids".
Now, nudist amateur radio clubs! What's become of our hobby?? :-)))

Subject: Power Supply Questions
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
In general, 200 mV ripple should be adequate for most mobile type
rigs. As for load regulation, the main thing is not to apply excessive
input to the rig at any time; read the specifications to determine
what that level is.
I tend to operate my mobile type rigs (in the shack) at reduced
potential to increase reliability and lamp life. Thus, rather than
goosing the rig to 14 Volts to get a little more output, I tend to run
it at 12.2 or so; that way I may never have to fix the thing.
If your power supply has poor load regulation, try adding a bleeder
resistor (dummy load); most of the time the majority of the increase
occurs at less than 10% of rated load due to capacitors charging to
peak values.
Let me know if I can help further; I used to do power supply circuit
design for a living... 73 DE K6DDX

That is only for US citizens. A Canadian cannot be granted US
citizenship without renouncing thier Canadian citizenship. I have a
friend who married a Canadian national, she had to renounce her Canadian
citizenship to become a US citizen. She then went back to Canada and
became a nauralized Canadian too. In short, you can only have one
citizenship when you accept US citizenship, but you can add others as you
go.
