Subject: Need info on Kenwood rigs
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Hi, I am considering purchasing my first quality HF rig, or at least I am
kicking around the idea. I need some info about the TS 850/840, the TS 440
or 450, and the TS 940 and 950 and comparisons between them all. What is
the price range for these rigs, both used and new? I think that the 900
series rigs have more bells + whistles than I really need, but I am not too
sure. My needs are primarily:
- A very high quality general coverage rig, including quality audio output
- All mode operation
- filtering and tuning features, like split VFOs, slope tuning, etc.
- memories for frequently used channels
- DSP, if possible
- price range under $1500 is preferred, and new is preferred to used
- Kenwood is my preferred brand name, but Icom is a possibility.
I might be willing to spend more if the performance justifies it. Anyone
with ANY info on the current rigs on the market, PLEASE email me. If you
know of an independant rating service, similar to Consumer Reports, which
rates the various rigs on the market, this would also be appreciated.
Thanks a lot, in advance, for any info.

Thanks to the Northern Ohio Amateur Radio Society, Northern Ohio DX
Association, Ohio/Penn PacketCluster Network, DL7VEE & DXNL, DF4RD,
IK1QBT, IK4CIE, OH2BBF, PA3BIZ, VK2PS, DXAC & ARRL Bulletins, K4CEF &
Southeastern Cluster Group, WB1HBB, NA2M, N5SUM, N8RFK and KF8VW for
the following DX information.
3V8, TUNISIA. The DX NewLetter reports that a DXpedition by Tom, IK8EVE,
from Jerba Island using the call sign 3V8TM will start April 24. ADDED
NOTE: Paul, WB4LFM, had a telephone conversation with DK2OC and he has
told him that DK2WV has just received the QSL cards (from the printer)
for his 3V8W operation last summer.
4U9ITU, I.T.U. HQ. Tony, IK1QBT, wants "Prefix Hunters" to take note.
This special call sign will be used May 20-22th from ITU Headquarters
station in Geneva. The operators will be an Italian team consisting of
Tony/IK1QBT (operating CW), Frank/IK1HLG and Mauro/IK1CJO (both operating
SSB and RTTY). Activity will be on all bands 160-10 meter, including the
WARC bands. A special QSL will be printed. QSL to I1YRL, Luc Glarey, Via
S. Martino 11, 10091 Alpignano (TO), Italy. ADDED NOTE: Luc, I1YRL, is
also to be active during the month May using the same call, but Luc was
not mentioned as an operator in Tony's correspondence.
9H, MALTA. A large group of Dutch operators will be active from Sliema,
June 24th until July 4th. During their DXpedition/Holiday they plan to
be active on 70 cm, 2 meters, 6 meters and 10-80 meters (including the
WARC bands). Operations will be on CW/SSB and they also plan some AO-13
activity. Look for the following operators: Frits/PA0BEA/9H3IE,
Wim/PA3BIZ/9H3ON, Hank/PA0PRT/9H3IB, Ada/PA3DNW/9H3KF, Frank/PE1KNL/9H3QH,
Egbert/PA3ETB/9H3KD, Jan/PA0JWK/9H3QD, Nick/PA0PAN/9H3KE, (the following
have not received their callsigns yet) John/PB0AES, Peter/PE1NZA and
Teun/PA0TPM. QSL to operators CBA.
ET, ETHIOPIA. OH2VZ is now signing ET3VZ and was heard this past weekend
on 21033 kHz at 1325z. At this time no other information is available
on this station. QSL via OH2VZ.
OJ0, MARKET REEF. Look for Steve/OJ0/AC6T, Lars/OH0MB, Seppo/OJ0/OH1VR,
Touko/OJ0/OH6RM and Eric/OJ0/OH2BBF from May 14-17th (weather permitting,
transportation via a helicopter). The group plans to be active on all
bands, including 6 meters, using CW/SSB and some RTTY. QSL to home calls
(OH0MB is one of the three valid "old style" Market Reef callsigns, this
one belonging to OH0RJ).
SV/A MOUNT ATHOS. Apollo, SV2ASP/A, was heard on 18148 kHz between 1400
and 1445z. Very "FEW" stations were calling him. At the present, the
DXAC is looking at a motion by N2SS to re-examine to see whether or not
Mt. Athos mets the present DXCC criteria in effect. This vote was to
take place in March, but due to problems in the wording of the question
on the March ballot, a re-vote in scheduled for sometime in May.
T32, EAST KIRIBATI. Tada, JA1WPX, will be active as T32WP from May
4-8th. Activity will be on all bands, CW/SSB, but special attention
will be on 30 and 17 meters CW. QSL via CBA.
TK, CORSICA. Seven Italian operators will be active from here May 19-23.
Activities are planned for an all band operation (160-10 meters,
including the WARC bands) on CW and SSB. This well equipped operation
will operate on the usual DX frequencies with an emphasis on the WARC
and the lower bands. Look for the following stations: SSB - TK/I4ULA/P,
TK/IK4HAL/P, TK/IK4NZD/P and TK/IK4GLV/P. CW - TK/I4VJC/P, TK/IK4CIE/P
and TK/IK4IDW/P. A full colored QSL with photos are available by sending
your QSLs to the operator that you have worked (via the Bureau or to
their CBA).
VK9. LORD HOWE ISLAND. VK2PS reports that Tony, VK9LA, is a long time
resident of the island and can be found on 7084 kHz at 1130z with the
"Pacific RIM 40 DX Group". VK2PS also reports that the Callbooks have
many mistakes and very old information regarding VK9's and VK0's; and
VK9LA's address is one of them. QSL VK9LA to: A.J. (Tony) Blasl, c/o
Post Office, Lord Howe Island, NSW 2898 - Australia.
VP9, BERMUDA. Bill, WB1BRE, ARRL New England Division Director, will be
signing WB1BRE/VP9 on the "birds" from May 13 through May 26. Operations
will be on AO-13 and AO-10 when available. Best operation with his
portable setup occurs just before and after Mode S at apogee. Downlink
frequencies will be between 145.910 and 145.930. Operation will be
limited to SSB. When not on satellite, Bill's low-band operations will
be on 20, 15, and 10 meters SSB, primarily in the lower portion of the
General bands and in the Novice portion of 10 meters. He will be using
an IC-735 with an R5 vertical, and operations will be dependent on band
and beach conditions. QSL to WB1BRE.
XU, KAMPUCHEA. Laci, HA0HW, will be active from Phnom Phen as XU0HW,
from May 8-20th. Activity is to be on CW/SSB and on all bands (160-10
meters, including the WARC bands). Laci will be joined by Sanyi, HA7VK,
who is presebtly signing XU7VK, to activate a new IOTA. Both will travel
to Rong Island in the Gulf of Thailand to be active for about 5 days
using the callsign XU9HA. QSL all three call signs to: Laci Szabo, P.O.
Box 24, H-4151 Puspokladany, Hungary.
ZS8, MARION ISLAND. Christie, ZS8MI, is still on and will be leaving in
about 2 weeks. Frequencies and times are not particularly good for the
U.S., but he may still be workable. Check 28354 kHz at 1100Z, 18162 kHz
at 1145z and 14130 kHz around 0600Z.
DXAC VOTES. The DXAC has unanimously voted to recommend to the ARRL
Awards Committee the deletion of Walvis Bay (ZS9) and the Penguin
Islands (ZS0,1) as of March 1, 1994. The vote for consideration to add
single-band, endorsable DXCC awards and endorsements for the 5BDXCC
award for 15, 20, and 30 meters was defeated (2 votes in favor and
13 votes against, with 1 abstention). The vote to add an Honor Roll
endorsement for the 10 meter DXCC award was also defeated (15 against
and 1 vote in favor). More details are available in ARRL DX Bulletins
22 (ARLD022). ADDED NOTE: The DXAC Chairman (W4VQ) has added the
question of new country status for Pratas Island (BV9) back on the
DXAC agenda. The reason is the Chinese Taipei Amateur Radio League
(CTARL) is now in contact with the DXAC and is providing the answers to
Committee questions. A vote on the question of DXCC country status for
Pratas has not been scheduled at this time.
NEW QSL ROUTE. There has been a change in the QSL route for TI9CF and
TI9JJP. This is due to the large amount of pilfering going on in the mail
service of Costa Rica. QSL these to stations to: Office Box Acct 321 CR,
3900 NW 79th Avenue - Suite 564, Miami, FL 33166. The mail will be
delivered by courier service to Costa Rica.
SPECIAL NOTE FROM EDITOR: There will be no bulletin next week (May 2). I
will be at the Dayton HamVention, but please keep sending your DX
information.

Subject: Request for Responses
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Hi folks,in reading several messages during the last couple of
months Ive noticed that there are always requests for support of the
different responses to pending or proposed legislation around the
country.Most of the time I would like to respond in support of the
request,however like most of you I am very busy.There is one thing that
would make it easier to support these requests and that is if you would
include a FAX phone number to send a responce to.It is much easier for
me to pound out a fax and send it on the weekend than to sit down and write
a letter,and almost impossible for me to make a call during normal business
hours as I have a field job.Im sure there are many folks just like me who
would like to support the causes of justice :) and common sense.I hope
noone takes offense at this.All causes are important and any way to maximize
response should be good sense.Thanks for allowing me my soapbox!

Subject: SWR & Power Loss
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Here's a question that's been bothering me for some time -- an article
in April's QST reminded me of it.
This article, and other material I've seen, pooh-pooh the idea of a low
SWR. (Maybe I should preface this by saying I'm not a 1:1 SWR fanatic,
though. :-) These articles say that as long as you have low-loss cable,
most of the energy bouncing back and forth between the transmitter and
the antenna ends up going out the antenna anyway.
My question is: since the transmitter is matched to the line, why does
the reflected energy coming from the antenna get reflected again at the
transmitter? Why isn't it all (or mostly) absorbed in the finals?
Any comments?

Wow, if my priest gave out that kind of penance for peccadillos like a
test message on r.r.a.m, I'd get seriously calloused knees. :-) It's
an odd one, anyway -- half in Latin, and half in English. Does this
mean that you still haven't decided whether or not you approve of the
decisions made by the Vatican II council? :-)

ARLB038 W6KG fund to be established
W6KG fund to be established
When Lloyd Colvin, W6KG, died last December, the League became the
beneficiary of the proceeds of a life insurance policy. The
proceeds, more than 150,000, dollar(s) will now fund an endowment, the income
from which will be used to further the strengthening of
international friendship through DXing.
ARRL Executive Vice President David Sumner, K1ZZ, said ''During his
lifetime, W6KG made great personal contributions to international
friendship through Amateur Radio in his visits to more than 150
countries, with his wife Iris Colvin, W6QL. Through the Colvin
Award, the League will proudly continue those contributions.''
Announcement of the Colvin Fund was made at the International DX
Convention in Visalia, California, on April 16. Details of the
administration of the endowment have not yet been worked out.

SB PROP ARL ARLP016
ARLP016 Propagation de KT7H
Solar activity was up a bit over the past week, with average flux
about nine points higher. Conditions were severely disturbed on the
17th, with auroral activity visible across the northern United
States. Geomagnetic activity should stay mostly normal until the
beginning of May, when recurring coronal holes rotate into view.
Flux should rise to around 105 on May 3 or 4, and then fall back to
current levels by the middle of the month.
K8MLV points out an error in last week's ARLP015 when it was
reported that solar flux at the beginning of April was the lowest
since 1987. Rick reports that as recently as September of last year
the flux was 70, almost three points lower than the value mentioned
last week.
Sunspot Numbers from April 14 through 20 were 28, 29, 26, 38, 38, 52
and 41, with a mean of 36. 10.7 cm flux was 79.4, 80.1, 81.7, 81.8,
84.2, 85.4 and 86.2, with a mean of 82.7.
The projection for this week is from Los Angeles, California to
Paraguay.
80 meters looks good from 0200 to 1000z, peaking around 0430 to
0930. Check 40 meters from 0130 to 1100, with the best period from
0230 to 1000. 30 meters should be open from 0030 to 1130, peaking
around 0230 to 1000. 20 meters should be good from 2200 to 0800,
with the best signals after darkness covers both ends of the path.
17 meters should be open from 1400 to 0630, with the best signals
toward the end of the period. 15 meters should be good from 1600 to
0500. 10 and 12 meters may be open on some days. Check 12 meters
from 1730 to 0230 and 10 meters around 2100 to 2130.
