To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
I am looking for a stubby duck antenna for use with my Yeasu FT530.
I've only been able to find stubbies for 2m, 1.25m, or 70cm, but nothing
for two bands.
Can anyone help?
Thanks much in advance.

UOSAT-2 (UO-11) Celebrates 10 Years Of On-Orbit Service
At 17:59 UTC on March 1st, 1984, the second satellite designed and built
by the University of Surrey, UoSAT-2 (UO-11) was launched on a Delta
rocket from the Western Test Range at Vandenberg Air Force Base,
California.
Among its many experiments, UoSAT-2 carried the Digital Communications
Experiment, which was one of the first (if not THE first!) non-military
use of store-and-forward techniques with Low Earth Orbiting satellites.
UoSAT-2 was an early test-bed for many of the technologies that have
since been incorporated into a number of other packet radio satellites.
For all those who wonder how long these satellites last, it should be
noted that UoSAT-2 is still operational, ten years after launch!
Happy Birthday UoSAT-2 !!!

KE3HP Presents A "Sample" Keplerian Element Set For RS-15
Based on information about RS-15's orbital paramaeters in last week's ANS
bulletins, KE3HP has generated a set of predicted elements for this satel-
lite. KE3HP assumed that the launch would be from Plesetsk at 12:00 UTC on
01-MAY-94. He generated these elements using OrbiTrack, an excellent
MacIntosh shareware program by Bill Bard.
Satellite RS-15 predicted
Catalog Number 99999
Epoch 94 121.57362967 05/01/94 13:46:02 UTC
Drag2 0.00000000 Rev/Day^2
Inclination 67.0000 Deg
RAAN 22.8163 Deg
Eccentricity 0.0001152
Argument of Perigee 360.0000 Deg
Mean Anomaly 0.0000 Deg
Mean Motion 10.73887722 Rev/Day
Epoch Revolution 0
Semimajor Axis 8678.14 km
Precession 1.3232 Deg West/Day
Period 134.09 Min
Apogee 2301.00 KM 1429.77 SM 1242.44 NM
Perigee 2299.00 KM 1428.53 SM 1241.36 NM
The only element strongly influenced by the launch date and time will be
RAAN. The primary difference is that these predicted elements will show
the satellite passing over your QTH at a different time than when the real
bird will. If you take these elements and "plug" them into your satellite
tracking programs, one of the facinating features that you will discover
about this orbit is that even on a low elevation pass (10 degs or less)
RS-15 is visable for up to 20 minutes! This will make RS-15 an excellent
satellite for Mode A operations. Please stay tuned to the AMSAT News
Service (ANS) bulletins for further information about the launch of RS-15.

Current AMSAT Operations Net Schedule For AO-13
AMSAT Operations Nets are planned for the following times. Mode-B Nets
are conducted on AO-13 on a downlink frequency of 145.950 MHz. If, at
the start of the OPS Net, the frequency of 145.950 MHz is being used
for a QSO, OPS Net enthusiasts are asked to move to the alternate
frequency of 145.955 MHz.
Date UTC Mode Phs NCS Alt NCS

19-Mar-94 1730 B 073 W5IU WA5ZIB
26-Mar-94 2130 B 084 WA5ZIB W5IU
Any stations with information on current events would be most welcome.
Also, those interested in discussing technical issues or who have questions
about any particular aspect of OSCAR statellite operations, are encouraged
to join the OPS Nets. If neither of the Net Control Stations show up, any
participant is invited to act as the NCS.
AO-13 ZRO Tests For March 1994
The following schedule of Mode "B" tests were chosen for convenient
operating times and favorable squint angles. The tests can be heard on
145.840 MHz. Andy McAlister (WA5ZIB) will conduct all the tests. Mode
"JL" tests will no longer occur due to the failure of AO-13's 70CM trans-
mitter.

Saturday Mar. 19, 1994 1930 UTC NA, SA, Europe, Africa
Saturday Mar. 26, 1994 2315 UTC NA, SA
Note that the dates and days are shown in "UTC". Any changes will be
announced as soon as possible via the AMSAT HF and AO-13 Operations
Nets.
All listener reports with date of test and numbers copied should be sent to
Andy MacAllister (WA5ZIB), AMSAT V.P. User Operations, 14714 Knights Way

Subject: Body Parts by J. Herman
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Funny, you've followed up on almost all of my postings now trying to
point out some alledged "fascination" with body parts.
Not trying to avert some attention to your own fascination are you?
--
I've used various body parts in previous postings because of their
relevance to the article. For example:
Sitting down wrong on one's scrotum. This can really
mess up your outlook on life for the day if it is the
first thing you do to yourself in the morning.
Real men pound brass. I won't vouch for the validity of
this, but from some of the commentary on this news group,
anyone that doesn't know (and use) Morse Code on the air
is something less than human.
So far Jeff Herman has been the only one to (a) try and link them as a
"fixation" and (b) get noticably upset about it. Such being the case,
I believe my postings were a success.
I'll make you a deal Jeff, if you want to discuss technical topics in
a rational manner, I'd be more than pleased to do so. However, if you
insist on acting like a buffoon on the net, don't forget to wear you're
blue plastic helmet. (Like the one Corky wears on the TV show "Life goes
on".) You'll need it when you get slapped around.

Ok, so if he just guesses, the odds of coming up with the right answer on 7 of
10 is the odds of picking the right answer at random (1/4) 7 times (1/4 ** 7).

and you certainly can. but best to contact the VE group in advance to let

have desk chairs, not separate tables and chairs or other furniture that

I can't see this catching on - giving 5 numbers for a signal report,

AUXILIARY COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE: The name adopted by those
jurisdictions who have chosen to use a wide spectrum of volunteer
telecommunication experts and other workers in government
service. This might include commercial radio technicians and
engineers, the RACES, Civil Air Patrol communicators and other
unpaid professionals. In some jurisdictions it includes public
safety and government communications as well as liaison with any
agency that has a bearing on emergency response.
An ACS has four elements in which interested volunteers serve
according to their skills and interests: administrative,
clerical, operations, and technical. In our State ACS we have
radio operators, heavy equipment operators, tower climbers,
computer disk message writers, messengers, photographers, pilots,
electricians, generator mechanics, computer programmers, plan
writers, instructors, EBS specialists and radio announcers,
personnel records management, clerical help, managers, shift
supervisors, installers as well as communications and electronics
technicians. Again, the RACES is but one part of the Auxiliary
Communications Service. The ACS is a broad spectrum service to
government supplementing all aspects of emergency response
communications, not just operating radios in the field or at an
EOC which has been considered by some to be the only role of the
RACES.
(This is part of a series originally titled "From My Lookout" in
seven parts, by Stanly E. Harter. It was renamed Semantics for

One of the most important uses of PGP (for me anyway) is to
