A new region was assigned: 7672 (N03E28). Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be low. The geomagnetic field has been at mostly unsettled levels at mid-latitudes while some high latitude stations reported major storm levels. Energetic electron fluxes continue to be at elevated levels. It appears as if the long duration geomagnetic storm is about to end. A-Fredericksburg values for the past eleven days are listed below: Date: Feb 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 A-Fred: 21 39 45 42 32 28 38 27 30 28 26 This represents the longest string of days greater than 20 since 1957. Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is expected to be unsettled to begin the period. Active to minor storm conditions are expected for the end of the period due to a well positioned coronal hole.

High Latitudes Active 30/35/35 Minor Storm 25/35/30 Major-Severe Storm 05/05/05 HF propagation conditions continued to improve to near-normal values over the low and middle latitudes today. High and polar latitudes also showed improvements, although periods of below-normal conditions persisted primarily along the night-sectors where residual localized substorming is persisting. Conditions should continue at current levels until 18 February when the next disturbance from another well placed (although smaller) coronal hole is due to begin perturbing the high and upper-middle latitude ionosphere.

Ondar and his student, Bady-Dorzhu, had been showcasing hoomeii, their unique style of throat-singing, at concerts in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Their trip included a heartwarming appearance on the former Chevy Chase Show, where nine-year old Bady's performance stole the show. Ondar's livelihood is the teaching of hoomeii, which dates back thousands of years. The performer accentuates the natural harmonics present in all our voices to sing several different tones all at once. An oddly mesmerizing sound to the listener and equally difficult one for the performer to maintain, it is a national treasure to the Tuvinian people and a heralded craft throughout the world. Spearheaded by Pat Barthelow AA6EG and Ralph Leighton, of Friends of Tuva (FOT), the group presented radio equipment to Ondar for delivery to the Lyceum of Tuva, a high school located in the capital city of Kyzyl. FOT was founded jointly by Leighton and the late physicist, Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman. The equipment included a Drake 2-NT transmitter and 2-C receiver, donated by Paul Herrschaft KQ6G, and both the ARRL's Radio Amateur's Handbook and Antenna Book, donated by Jim Maxwell W6CF. "Tannu-Tuva is an extremely remote republic of about 300,000 people," Pat informs. "The winters are very severe; temperatures can reach -60 deg F. The republic is surrounded by the 10,000-foot high Sayan mountain range to the north and the Tannu-ola mountains to the south. "Between 1921 and 1944, Tuva was an independent state. They joined the Soviet Union voluntarily in 1944 as an autonomous region, and were consti- tuted as an autonomous republic in October, 1961. Tuva now faces a new future as a member of the Commonwealth of Independent States." A member of the Naval Postgraduate School ARC in Monterey CA, Pat is working on furnishing enough ham radio equipment to help activate a radio club at the Lyceum. "The Lyceum amateur radio station," he says, "is likely to become a centerpiece of attention throughout the republic, enabling the school to become connected to the rest of the world, particularly to other schools. They are very interested in communicating with other students." Although not an amateur himself, Ondar immediately recognized the Morse Code key given to him and gladly agreed to bring back the equipment to the Lyceum in Tuva. Quite a celebrity in his own country, Ondar informed the group through Leighton that he would tell his fellow Tuvinians of his visit with the US amateurs. Besides FOT, Pat is also working with the Foundation for Amateur Radio International Radio Service (FAIRS) and the Northern California DX Association (NCDXA). On hand to represent the NCDXA was Jim W6CF, who noted that Tuva (UA0Y..) is on the air but still quite rare. "Tuva is located in Zone 23, which includes Mongolia and Tibet, but is not that active." Jim informed Leighton that the project would be of interest to a great many amateurs, even to the point of DXpeditions into the area. Pat adds the power grid there is 220 volt and 50 Hz. "HF, VHF, UHF, satellite, and packet is needed. If anyone knows how to obtain ham radio equipment through educational grants, I would love to hear about it." This first delivery will be a test to see how best to transport radio equipment into Tuva. Hand-carrying anything of significant value through customs in Russia can carry a slight risk. A letter from the President of Tuva in support of the project will accompany all donations. "Any equipment would go to Tuva under the close accounting and supervision of myself and Ralph Leighton, " assures Pat. Leighton authored Tuva or Bust!, an account of the FOT's formation in 1977 and their ensuing exploits.

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu Hi, I need a simple design for a 20m VFO that drops into the place of a X-tal. My exact transmitting circuit is the 6-watter from the 1986 ARRL Handbook. I have also built a 40 meter VFO from the QRP tranceiver designs in the 1994 ARRL Handbook and they work. But when I use the VFO with the freq. doubler circuit from the September 1993 issue of CQ, I found the output to be too weak and fundamental frequency rejection is insufficient. The doubler was originally intended for doubling 3.5 MHz to 7 MHz but I am using it to double 7 MHz to 14 MHz. Is there a problem doing this and/or is there a more suitable means of deriving 20 m from a 40 m VFO? The VFO works fine right now. I just can't get a strong and clean doubled frequency. Can anyone help me, especially if you have access to the documents I cited, could you take a look at the circuits and advise me.

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu PK232 Mods - Problems - 440S - 850S Radios PK232 to Kenwood TS 440 For those who are having difficulty changing power i.e. a very small increase in mic gain makes a big difference in power output. If you have been plugging your PK232MBX on mike plug of your TS440S, you must try instead at the rear of your 440s with the 13 pin din plug. Pins 4, 8 and 12 must be shorted together. And 1 of those pins soldered with the brown wire ( ground ) supplied with the PK232MBX. Pin 3 must go with the green wire ( audio speaker output ). Pin 11 must be soldered with white wire ( Audio mic ). And pin 13 must be soldered with the red wire ( PTT ). Don't forget to wire the brown with the bare wire. And also the shield wire must be clamped with the metal frame of the 13 pin din plug. After this small modifications you'll have to increase the afsk variable resistor at the rear of the PK232MBX. ( approx. 3/4 of max. : 75mvolts rms ). You will see with that after you will be in better control of the TS440S . PK232MBX and distortion problems: 1. Own a PK232 or PK232MBX ? 2. Have it connected to an HF rig ? 3. Experience distortion on ssb when the '232' is connected to the HF rig ? Here's the fix: There are two 680 ohm resistors in the audio output circuits of the TNC (noted R151 and R152 in the schematic). These resistors are located on the pc board near the 5 pin output jacks of the TNC ("Radio 1 & 2"). Carefully cut or unsolder one end of the resistor nearest the jack used for the HF rig. Bend the resistor away from the circuit board slightly. That's all there is to it ! THIS REMOVES A GROUND LOOP introduced into the HF audio circuit which in turn causes the distortion, even when the TNC is off. If you are using AFSK on HF, you may have to readjust the mic gain control and/or the TNC level pot for proper drive/ALC level, but the SSB distortion will be gone ! Mod for PK232MBX For those who are experiencing the same problem as I do: At some extreme condition, when it is getting really difficult copying a station, doing some digital mode on HF... Well what I want to explain is: with some conditions like when you still can copy a station while increasing your AF (Audio) gain, but your PK232MBX cannot do so ( still decoding ), There is two ways of hooking your PK232MBX up, the first one: your audio out of your rig is variable ( probably like an audio jack ) you do not have to bother with this modification. If you have plugged into the acc jack (independent level of AF for any change of AF gain) You can try this modifications with good success.. In my settings: My rig is a TS440 and the PK232MBX is plugged into the 13 pin din socket. The mod is to change R34 in the PK232MBX the factory value is 10K, change this to 4.7K. This mod was discussed with AEA and confirmed to be workable. The above information has not been proof read or checked for grammar, but is simply a collection of the subject matter. I take no credit for any of the ideas ! The mod for SSB distortion does work, I know of one other station other than mine that has performed this mod. Now that Red Adar ( Spelling perhaps ? ) has retired. Perhaps some of us can purchase some flame proof suits to ward off the knuckle headed clowns who persist in nailing anyone they can who might just want to post something to this list.

I found them in an old "selector guide" dated 1973. It lists Teledyne at 1300 Terra Bella Avenue, Mountain View, California 94040, Phone (415)968-9241. However, in 20 years, the company could have moved or gone out of business! The U1837E is listed as a member of the "2N4391 Family" General-Purpose Switch, in the plastic package category. No lead configuration was given, however. Its data is: rDS(ON)(Max.) 30 ohms VGS(OFF) (Min.-Max.) 5.0-10 V ID(OFF)(Max.) 0.2 nA Ciss(Max.) 16 pF Crss(Max.) 5 pF BVGSS(Min.) 40 V IDSS(Min.-Max.) 30---mA Typical Characteristics curves for the 2N4391 family, are shown for Yfs, rDS(ON), IDSS and ID. The U1994E (rather than the non-E) is listed as a member of the "2N4416 Family" VHF RF Amplifier - 400 MHz, in the plastic package category. Its data is: Yfs(Min.-Max.) 4,500-7,500 micromhos IGSS(Max.) 100 pA VGS(OFF)(Min.-Max.) ----6 V IDSS(Min.-Max.) 5-15mA BVGSS(Min.) 30 V Ciss(Max.) 4 pF Crss(Max.) 1.0 pF 400 MHz N.F.(Max.) 4 dB Again, Typical Characteristics curves for the 2N4416 family, are shown for Yfs, rDS(ON), IDSS and ID. I hope you can find someone with more up-to-date information, especially the lead configuration. 73, Fred, K4DII ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Feb 1994 22:22:05 GMT From: elroy.jpl.nasa.gov!swrinde!cs.utexas.edu!howland.reston.ans.net!news.intercon.com!udel!news.sprintlink.net!direct!kg7bk@ames.arpa To: info-hams@ucsd.edu References <01H8X21VF1N6ECXSL5@tntech.edu>, <CLAz5v.Iss@news.direct.net>, <2jtq4nINNl22@abyss.West.Sun.COM>net Subject : Re: John Ramsey Dana Myers (myers@sunspot.West.Sun.COM) wrote: : >But my approach was not, "you idiots don't know your ass from..." : The implication is that Jeff's approach was this.

It's hard to think of them as ads when the product doesn't even exist yet. In any case, there's no blanket prohibition against advertising on the net. I don't plan to buy a Hamblaster (I already have a SoundBlaster 16 ASP),, but I think the progress reports are mildly interesting. -- ------------------------------------------------------ Jack Hamilton USMail: POB 281107 SF CA 94128 USA jfh@netcom.com Packet: kd6ttl@w6pw.#nocal.ca.us.na ------------------------------ End of Info-Hams Digest V94 #170 ****************************** ******************************
