Yeah! Too damned many educated white males sucking up the spectrum.
Can't have that! No way! ;-))
Rather than partitioning the spectrum based on services offered, modulation
techniques and propogation characteristics, why don't we offer spectrum
based on ethnic and religious heritage? Yeah! That'll fix things!!
I can see it now: the only band us Northern European white males are
gonna be allowed on is 11 meters! ;-))
Is Billary in bed with the FCC??

Subject: Alliance 5-wire Rotor Motor Questions
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
I've accquired an Alliance rotor motor with no control box. The rotor
takes 5 wires, has the rotating mast thru the body and the mast top clamp
on the side of the case. I've been told this style is often used as an
altitude rotor on Satellite setups.
Questions:
1. What voltage does it take to turn the motor? AC or DC?
2. WHat are the pinouts for the five wires?
3. What is the model number or other ID's? (nothing on the case but Alliance).
I can open it up to get the pinouts, but I don't want to burn it out with
the wrong voltage etc.
I'm planning to use it to turn small VHF/UHF antennas.
Any positive responses are greatly appreciated!!!!!

If you're going to engage yourself in this nonsense, at least take the
time to come up with something original.
But thanks for playing. Even lame-flamers need some encouragement from
time to time.
Nice try with the 435 inuendo. I even sent you e-mail about that. Do you
think I would lie to you about where I operate? Ask Dana.

Actually, now that you mention it, the odds of getting at least
7 out of 10 in a 4-choice multiple-choice test are much better:
about 1 in 285.
To get the right odds you have to add the probability of
getting 7 out of 10, 8 out of 10, 9 out of 10, and 10 out of 10.
For 7 out of 10, the odds are (.25^7)(.75^3) for *one* combination
of right and wrong. (One combination might be getting the first 7
right and the next 3 wrong. Another combination might be getting 1
wrong, 5 right, 2 wrong, 2 right.) To figure the total possible
combinations of n things taken r at a time you need to figure
n!/(r!(n-r!)). For 10 things taken 3 at a time, there are
10!/(7!3!), or 3628800/(5040*6), or 120 possible combinations. So
the total probability of getting 7 out of 10 is 120(.25^7)(.75^3),
or 1 in 323.6.
For 8 out of 10, there are 45 combinations. The probability is
45(.25^8)(.75^2), or 1 in 2589.
For 9 out of 10, there are 10 possibilities. So 10(.25^9)(.75), or
1 in 34,952.
There's only one way to get all 10 right, so the odds of that are
.25^10, which is one in a million.
Add them all up and you get .0035057, or 1 in 285. You still
better learn *some* morse, I think.

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Ten-Tec aren't alone, a great many other radios sport decorative
knobs labelled "noise blanker" which have no discernable effect. I'd say
the same of my IC765.
Perhaps the marketing departments of all the manufacturers, in unison
found that you couldn't sell a rig without a noise blanker, but that it
didn't matter if the noise blanker didn't work ?
I find that the blanker on my 2 metre multimode mobile DOES work,
but then that is the sort of radio that really needs one.
Cheers
