The reason that the first Point of entry is the station to be held responsible
is that each SYSOP should beable to review messages entered to his system
before passing it on. This is messages entered by a user not another relay

SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------
Solar activity was very low. There was no activity
of note. Region 7699 (S09W05), a single spot, was numbered.
Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
very low.
The geomagnetic field has been at unsettled to active
levels for the past 24 hours. High latitude stations have
been at minor to major storm levels. This activity is most
likely due to a favorably positioned coronal hole. Energetic
electron fluxes (Gt 2 MeV) ranged from high to very high
for the entire period.
Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
expected to be unsettled to minor storm for the entire forecast
period. High latitude stations will continue to see minor to
major storm levels with a possiblity of occassional periods of
severe storm levels.

HF propagation conditions were below-normal from the
middle to polar latitude paths, and near-normal over the lower
latitude regions. Fading, multipathing, and occassional
absorption continued to affect the higher latitude paths.
Similar conditions are expected over the next several days.

it's more than that. the cell radio system doesn't like having users
accessing more than 1 cell at a time (ideally). when you are up in the plane,
you are able to hit hundreds at the same time. This gives the cell system a
hernia since it's not set up for such a thing -- i would think the cell radio
security people would turn off your ID since such multiple access could be
interpreted as your phone codes had been picked up by a phone phreak and
others were trying to use your phone for free calls.
it's not like the cell radiophone folks don't make big bucks on your calls
either...so don't go blaming the airlines & service providers that have set up
flite-phones.
if you can't be out of touch for even a couple of hours, why are you even
getting on a plane in the first place?

This avoids the need for broadband (multi-octave) phase shifters but
still leaves the need for precise amplitude matching to get accurate
cancellation of the unwanted sideband. The required amplitude and phase
matching to get comparable suppression to a reasonable quality filter
exciter are both severe. You can adjust to get best cancellation, but
this still needs it to be stable and for all frequencies to cancel at
the same position of the adjuster.
An attractive compromise is to use a phasing source (polyphase
network, weaver or whatever) to get modest suppression of the unwanted
sideband, the clipper section of the RF speech processor, and finally a
wide-ish lower than usual filter. We get the sum of the suppression
factors of the two systems, the transmitted audio has benefitted from
passing through a much lower Q filter than would be needed by a simple
filter type exciter.
I think this debate is nearing its best-before date, ADCs to digitise
speech are widely available and cheap. DSP devices capable of
implementing an SSB modulator with "RF" speech processor are available,
but still a bit pricy yet. DACs to give an IF output with plenty of
dynamic range are also available and getting cheaper, especially if a
low IF is used. A complete system has the promise of being cheaper for
manufacturers than a single crystal filter, and will also handle lots of
other modes.
Remember how VFOs were dropped the moment synthesisers became cheaper
than a dial and gearbox ? and how only a few people seemed to care
that those synthesisers were so dirty ? With a bit of luck this
change might be done better.....

A few days ago, I set down a bunch of observations that arrived at a
conclusion that if one really wanted to do an analog quadrature phase
network for the voice band that also had very constant group delay, it
should be possible. I suggested that it would probably take several
poles -- 10 to 14 -- in each side, to do an adequate job for sideband
suppression. I left it as an open issue to actually find the pair of
filters that would do the job.
I gave this a little more thought, and one of the first things I realized
is that the lowpass-->bandpass transformation used to keep a constant
amplitude response even for wideband filters _doesn't_ work to keep
a constant phase response. The transformation, s = p/wo + wo/p,
distorts the frequency axis and therefore causes phase distortions. There
may be other transformations that would work for the phase part...
But this was all a red herring anyway: who in their right mind would
want to try to build this pair of 14-pole filters and get them tuned up
right? How about exploring a more practical way:
A Hilbert Transform is a way of getting a 90 degree phase shift at all
frequencies with no amplitude variation vs frequency. However, like a
brickwall filter, there is no way with a finite number of computations
to get a Hilbert Transform over the entire spectrum. We only need a
decade, though, from 300Hz to 3kHz. How much computation does that
take? Oppenheim and Schafer in "Discrete-Time Signal Processing"
discuss a couple practical examples (pg 680, Example 10.3), and one
suggests that an algorithm with five additions and five
multiply-accumulate cycles, would come very close. Doubling that should
provide excellent amplitude accuracy over the audio band. With
overhead, this should be possible to do in a cheap DSP like a 2105 in
about 2.5 microseconds per point. This FIR filter has an _exact_ 90
degree phase shift (plus a delay). As long as we're in the DSP, we
might as well generate perfect quadrature phase carrier signals and
modulate them and sum the result. Since the carrier will be a fixed
frequency, the carrier signals can be simply a table lookup. You could
do this at three points per cycle and output the result to a DAC and
need only modest filtering to clean the output. How fast could all that
be done? Assume another 1.5 microseconds for the two carrier fetches
and multiplies (should be way more than enough) and the total is 4
microseconds. At three points per cycle, the cycle time is 12
microseconds, and the frequency is 83.3kHz. You then mix this up to
whatever RF frequency you want to use, probably in a couple stages. The
time estimate is very conservative, and a faster DSP should be capable
of doing this at about a 150kHz carrier rate (just over 2uS per point).
With a decent DAC, you should be able to get all spurs including the
suppressed sideband down 80dB, though there is an open question about
amplitude flatness of the Hilbert transform approximation using 20
non-zero terms (10 multiplications). Anyone out there familiar enough
with them to comment on this?
(Comment: some may have noticed time was alloted to do the Hilbert
transform for each _output_ point. Actually, it would be done only
for each digitized audio _input_ point, and points between these would
be filled in with an interpolation filter, which should take less time
than the Hilbert transform.)
Cost to do this: ADC to digitize the audio input, DSP, clock, ROM, DAC,
analog filtering on the DAC, and frequency translation stages. I submit
that the ADC, DSP, ROM and DAC will be less expensive than a decent
crystal filter, and getting cheaper all the time.

The thread refuses to die because people make wild statements
they only THINK make sense.
In reality you cannot operate your ham walkie-talkie in
flight operating under IFR. Read your FCC regs that you
ought to check before you reply. The pilot has no authority
to authorize you to violate the FCC regs. 99% of the
time commercial flights operate under IFR regardless of
the weather conditions.
Isn't there a way to FTP the FCC regs? Do it and grep
for IFR.
I wouldnt admit to too many federal law violations on the
internet either!

I live in the Detroit area and this STUPID practice seems to have

I have talked to many hams (besides myself) that just gave up on

I also spoke with a friend in the military who said it is very common to
check into their nets this way, but he said that primarily happens
because the rig just happens to quit transmitting after a couple seconds

My experience has shown that it is *longer* than a year for the net in
General (I switched to <$packet_bid.1994@ampr.org> for all the messages

It takes *no* extra processing time to have your feed site place this in his
sys file:
MACHINE/MAILDOMAIN:...!rec.answers,rec.radio.info...
or some imaginative combination there-of. Yes, it would be ludicris to have
the feed site check for message-IDs (I use a standard for all the information
postings I have an influence over, you *can* match to it for the Amateurs on
USENET List, if you set up an ihave-sendme feed, then *you* [or your feed site]
can do it easily). You can even use Message-IDs to prevent all postings from
