Wm. A.-
Your numbers didn't look right to me, so I checked an old Motorola data
book. I think your data for hFE (DC gain) is actually correct for hfe (ac
gain).
Either way, they're a good transistor!

SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------
Solar activity was very low. Newly numbered, spotless
Region 7697 (N10E10) produced the largest flare of the past
day, a B6/SF at 29/1550Z. Region 7695 (S16W08) also produced a
few small flares. It remains a small sunspot group.
Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
very low.
The geomagnetic field was quiet. The expected recurrent
disturbance did not materialize.
Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled.

All times associated with x-ray flares (ex. flares which produce
associated x-ray bursts) refer to the begin, max, and end times of the
x-rays. Flares which are not associated with x-ray signatures use the
optical observations to determine the begin, max, and end times.

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
zawada@softage.demon.co.uk (A Gnome On A Mission)
The XR2206 is a function generator. I've seen examples of it giving
sinewaves, sawtooths and square waves. I think there are a few places you
can get them. I'm not sure if they've been deleted or not because I've
seen them in some pretty old schematics. I live in New Zealand but I
can't suggest any American outlets, except maybe try Paia or Digikey (ie:
the biggies). I know you can get them from "Farnell Electronics",
Private Bag, Market Rd, Auckland, New Zealand, or in Australia there are
several companies that could probably help, like Dick Smith Electronics
or Rod Irving Electronics (sorry don't have a contact number for them).
Good luck in your search

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Frequently I hear hams say, THE name HERE is______.
How often do you say when you meet someone (assuming your name
is Tony), THE name HERE is Tony? You never do that right? After
to do so is so impersonal and assinine that you would not want
to seem like a fool-then why do it on the air? Just because you
are a ham is no excuse not to be personal. Of course you could
really sound like THE jerk of the year by saying, THE first
personal here is Tony (at least if you are not personal-you are
using the word-albeit it in an extremely impersonal way).
Also why say "here", is your name any different when you are "there?"

Yes Virginia,
There is a Transverter Jack on the TS-430. It is an 8-pin DIN connector
used to interface a VHF or UHF transverter. (I am quoting the manual. I
never used it....)
