NOTICE
Preliminary Announcement
1994 Central States VHF Society Conference
July 29-30, 1994, Memphis, TN
I have just received the preliminary announcement of the 28th Annual
Conference of the Central States VHF Society. It will be held from July 29-30,
1994, at the Wilson World Hotel, 2715 Cherry Road, Memphis, TN. Though not
mentioned below, the formal part of the conference is dozen or two good
technical or operating talks, Friday and Saturday during the day. Generally
about 1/3rd of the presenters have some sort of doctorate (PhD, MD, etc).
Dave Meier, N4MW, the organizer and thus CSVHFS president, says: "The
conference format will be as usual, with Friday night flea market and Saturday
[night] banquet. In addition to the usual conference activities there will be
an informal Thursday night [July 28] EME show-and-tell session....
"Let me introduce this year's Society Vice President, Joel Harrison, WB5IGF.
Joel is the recently re-elected ARRL Delta Division Director, so
congratulations are in order. Joel is active on all VHF bands, 432 and 1296.
He holds WAS on two meters via EME. As an active VHF contester, he arranged
to move the ['94] June VHF contest to eliminate conflict with the '94 ARRL
National Convention....
"Submit material for publication in the conference proceedings to Joel.
Also, let him know if you can be a presenter at the conference. So far we
have Wal House WK6KZ and Don Graham VK6HK visiting from Australia. Wal agrees
to make a presentation on VHF/UHF/SHF in Australia. ... Send your material to
Joel Harrison WB5IGF, 528 Miller Road, Judsonia, AR 72801.
"... Al Ward [WB5LUA] volunteered to handle the noise figure measurements.
Kent Britain WA5VJB and Marc Thorson WB0TEM will handle antenna
measurements....
"Cissy (AKA Joyce Meir N4ZRW, is arranging the family activities for the
conference. Cissy is involved in local club activities, serving last year as
the Memphis hamfest Forums Chairperson...." [The CSVHF Conference always draws
a large contingent of spouses and children.]

The items in this week's bulletin are courtesy of Steve, W9NUF; the
Northern Illinois DX Association; Ed, KB7E; and the Ohio/Penn and
Yankee Clipper Contest Club PacketCluster networks. Thanks.
PETER FIRST ISLAND. 3Y0PI has been very active and should remain so
until about February 19. DXers bemoaning the tough winter of 1994,
check this out. Last Saturday 3Y0PI had to QRT
a storm that battered the team with 80 MPH winds and dumped five
feet of snow on them. And this is during the Antarctic SUMMER/FALL.
Although some equipment was damaged, the team has made well over
20,000 Qs, more than 20 percent of their 100 Kilo-Q goal. Listen
for them on CW, SSB, AmTOR, PacTOR and satellite. EME operations
should commence soon. QSL CW via KA6V, SSB via AA6BB.
LACCADIVE ISLANDS. Geology students VU2STG and his newly licensed
XYL are on an exploration and study assignment. During free time
they operate VU7LI on SSB only. Please be patient as amateur radio
is not the primary purpose for their visits to the Laccadives and
equipment is minimal. QSL via VU2STG.
SOVEREIGN MILITARY ORDER OF MALTA. According to Luciano, I0JBL, the
1A0KM operation has been rescheduled for sometime in late February.
ANGOLA. D2EGH can be found on 14225 kHz at 2000z. QSL via CT1EGH.
Listen for D2/AA4HU on 14225 kHz at 1745 and 2000z.
BANGLADESH. S21AM has been worked on 14185 kHz SSB at 1200z. QSL
via Manju, PO Box 4000, Dhaka.
ETHIOPIA. ET3RA has been on 21250 kHz at 1600z. QSL via HB9CVB.
ET3YU works CW on 14035 kHz between 1600 and 1700z.
ISRAEL. For the past two nights, Chicago area hams have worked
4X4NJ on 1832 at 0420z.
MAURITIUS. Jacky, 3B8CF, is a relatively easy catch on both 80 and
40 meters. Try 3506 kHz at 0200z and 7007 kHz at 0420z.
QATAR. A71BH can be worked on 14215 kHz around 1300z. QSL via
OH6EEG.
FRENCH POLYNESIA. Walter, DJ0FX, is active as FO0PT from Moorea
Island of the Windward Group, IOT
until February 19. Walter operates on all bands, mostly CW. Check
the low end of 40 meters between 0730 and 1000z. QSL via the DARC
Bureau.
SAN ANDREAS ISLAND. HK0/K1WGM has been worked on 160 meters around
1833 kHz at 0430z. Also check 80 meters on either 3505 or 3510 kHz
between 0400 and 0600z. QSL K1WGM.
CAMBODIA. An operation by Laszio, HA0HW, is slated to begin in
early April. The call signs XU9XA and XU0HW have been mentioned.
COSTA RICA. An operation is planned for February 17, 18 and 19 from
Guanacaste Island, a new IOT
signs will be K5MK/TI7 and TI2WLE/TI7. Try 14260 and 21260 kHz for
SSB, and 40 kHz up from the bottom edge for CW. QSL via K5MK.
THIS WEEKEND ON THE RADIO. Indoor sports this weekend include the
North American Sprint, Phone; the EA RTT
QSO Party; and the YL OM Contest. For more information on these
events, check pages 127 and 128 of January QST

>Does anyone have any experience with this upgrade?
Steve, I also have the HF6V and am very pleased with it. Mine is
mounted on the roof of my mobile home with 8-12 radials for 10-20 and 8
or so on 40. The roof of the mobile home is metal too but no good way to
make a solid connection to it.
I have the 17/12 and 160 meter add on kits and have noted no
severe change on 80 meters or other bands. You should already be aware
since the antenna is so short for that band the bandwidth is only about
25 Khz. I have mine tuned around 3795 but weather can make a severe effect
on it.

Always wondered how ground mounting it would change things. I believe
mounting it up in the air somewhat helps to make the counterpoise more ef-
ficient. The ARRL Handbook says a true ground plane mounted 1/2 wavelength
above ground only needs 4 or 5 radials. I kind of combine the effects of both
round mounted and ground plane by having it 10-12 feet above ground but on
a metal roof with many radials. Whatever it takes to get the angle of radiation
down and work the DX/Contest.

Nice going. I have had mine up sind 1985 and don't really know how
many I have worked on it. But the last few were ZS8MI, CY9CWI, J5UAI, 3C1TR,
S21ZG, etc. Let's me know it is getting out. Now if I could get some decent
propagation and work the 3Y0PI.
Best of luck,

It sounds like you might know something about this.
So, now that you have raised your hand :)
I have gotten a bug up my rear to configure our point-to-point
repeater linking system with digital paths ranging 20
to 40 miles apart.
We currently use plain old analog audio Motorola MICOR
UHF mobiles to do the linking between repeater sites,
and they work well (naturally!). However, my calibrated ear
frequently cringes at the minor white noise which
accumulates over the multiple hop links, such as
those which traverse 3 or 4 hops. By the time the
signal gets to the fourth site, there is enough
additive noise and minor equalization and level
difference that I believe that digital transmission
would provide superior performance.
I am certain that I am not breaking new ground here.
Has anyone played with this who could comment on
how practical this would be?
I just received a catalog from Consumer Microcircuits
Ltd in the U.K. listing a CVSDM codec. I remember
playing with these in electronics lab in college;
would these provide a narrow enough digital signal
to shove through a radio system designed for 5KC
bandwidth given a band-limited audio input to the
codec?
I don't recall if the output of such a codec would
be transmittable over the air or would require
a modem of some sort. If so, this might kill it.
Our link system currently consists of link repeaters
serving a locale, linked to the next hub via a
transciever located at that next hub site. I envision
a digital system which could sync up rather quickly
as the transceivers keyed up each time. I would rather
not put up a full-duplex RF system just to keep
the modems happy. I have lots more to tell but
I'll shutup now.
Comments?

Date: Thu, 10 Feb 1994 02:13:10 GMT
It's once again time to announce the weekly ham radio NudeNet. We
meet on Thursdays at 14.265 MHZ +/- at 4:00PM PST (0000 GMT). The net sessions
usually last 1 - 2 hours, with an average of 10 or 12 check-ins.
Last week, we had 6 checkins. I expect the number of checkins to remain
a bit on the low side through-out the holiday period. Afterwards, especially
when propagation picks up in late February or early March, I expect the number
of checkins to increase again.

This is a fledgling but growing ham radio net. You hams out there
should try to make it. Those of you that have participated in the past but
haven't showed for awhile ought to stop in again.
Those hams who are so inclined might want to post a notice on the
bulletin boards of any local landed clubs or maybe announce something in the
newsletter of any non-landed clubs you belong to. Let's get the word out!

It was done as a promotion for a nudist colony in Georgia or somewhere.

Subject: PK-232 vs 1278 ??
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Just for fun, here is a bulletin I received a little over a year ago from
KH2D@KH2D in Guam entitled *The Ultimate PK-232*:
After reading a bulletin about modifying the PK232 to perform better
on AMTOR, which was a reprint of an article from QST magazine, I thought it
would be a good time to distribute one more mod for the PK232. The above
mentioned article stated that the "PK232 performed BETTER than COMMERCIAL
AMTOR equipment". As we say on the ham bands, "hi hi ...... "
The following MOD will make the PK232 work MUCH better in these areas:
1. Improve SENSITIVITY on HF and VHF.
2. Greatly improve the TUNING BAR GRAPH DISPLAY.
3. Get rid of the common RF PROBLEM in the PK232.
(symptoms of this very common problem are: your PK232
sounds like a duck call on HF).
4. Make the PBBS more compatable with full service BBS's.
5. Add remote control of TNC parameters.
6. Add NODE capability.
7. Allow simultaneous use of VHF and HF ports.
8. Add AMTOR mailbox capability.
9. Add FULL DUPLEX capability.
10. Operate PROPERLY in the KISS mode.
11. Add GATEWAY capability.
12. Add SOFTWARE CARRIER DETECT.
This mod can be performed by the average ham very easily with no
soldering required and a minimum number of tools.
Please follow these instructions CAREFULLY:
1. Power OFF the PK232.
2. Remove ALL cables connected to the PK232.
3. Grasp the PK232 FIRMLY in your RIGHT HAND (left hand is OK if you are
LEFT-HANDED).
4. Carry the PK232 to the nearest trash can and hold it directly above
the aforementioned trash can.
5. Drop the PK232 into the trash can.
6. In the space the PK232 used to occupy, install a KANTRONICS KAM with
5.02 (or later) firmware. (After completing this step, you will notice
you have MORE SPACE on your shelf or tabletop).
CONGRATULATIONS !! You have just modified your PK232 so that it is now
the BEST ALL MODE DATA CONTROLLER available.
An option to steps 3 thru 5 in the modification instructions would be to
sell the PK232 to another ham (preferably someone who doesn't know where you
live, a new novice operator, or someone you don't like).
For those hams who don't have a PK232 installed at their station, skip
steps 1 thru 5 in the above instructions.
The above mod has been thoroughly tested at KH2D BBS and has performed
FLAWLESSLY for the last 7 months (multi-user, multi-port).
KH2D assumes no liability for hams who make this mod and can't hit the
trash can. CAUTION: the PK232 is so BIG and CLUNKY that it can cause broken
bones in your foot. Children should NOT try this modification without
the assistance of a responsible adult.
KH2D grants full permission to the ARRL to reprint this modification in QST.
I would also like to express my sincerest thanks to the gentleman who
spent his time retyping the article from QST magazine so that hams
everywhere who don't receive their very own copy could enjoy it. But I
would ask that for his next bulletin he chose a magazine where the tech-
nical findings are not based on the amount of advertising dollars spent
by the equipment manufacturer.
