Hi all:
I was at Dayton Last weekend. I had circled CARF's booth as one I
HAD to visit, so of course I missed it (gee there were only 500 other
booths to jostle my way to). Is anyone on the net a member? Or do you
know their mailing address so I can get more Information about joining?
Do they have a regulary schedualed NET that I can listen in on (just a
code liberated tech... for now that is 8-)?
Thanks,
Chuck N3QAT

Karl, I tried to send e-mail but it bounced as undeliverable.
Did you try calling the CT bulletin board at 508-460-8877? You can
still download the latest version from there. Apparently, 8.53 is
going to be the last release of version 8.

Umm, the CT BBS is still "on the air;" the number is 508-460-8877. I
just got 8.53 (the latest version) off it two days ago.

For contesting (and running barefoot in general), I prefer the Heil 4
element. It just seems to give my signal a bit more punch, even
without the compressor on.
I use mine with my Icom 737, which needs a pre-amp to get the Heil up
to a decent signal level. Check to see if your rig needs one if you
go with a Heil.

-------------------
Flight Highlights
-------------------
The flight of EOSS-16 was a great success from launch to pick-up by our
great preparation, launch, tracking, and recovery teams.
The ozone experiment conducted by the students from Ranum High School
performed perfectly throughout the flight. The students gathered some great
data. Congratulations to EOSS member Andy Kellett N0SIS, our student liaison
for this flight, for getting everything operational with many hours of hard
work.
We are hoping that the students will present their findings at the next
EOSS membership meeting (5/10/94). These meetings are held on the second
Tuesday of each month at the Castlewood Library at the intersection of Uinta
and Arapahoe (just west of I-25) in Castlewood, Colorado. They start at
7 P.M. local time.
The ground station operations were coordinated by Brian Thomas, N0VSA.
All systems were operating on gasoline driven AC power generators for this
flight. These generators were provided by Amateur Radio Emergency Services
(ARES) district 22 in Colorado.
FAA Liaison for the flight as well as technical assistance was
performed by Mike Manes, W5VSI.
The balloon preparation team headed by Merle McCaslin, K0YUK, ran into
no significant problems.
The weather was perfect for the launch with very calm ground winds.
Early morning weather reports from the Rawinsonde (RAOB) data obtained from
the National Weather Service via WeatherBank Info Service were incomplete
only listing winds to 45,000 feet. Using Paratrak (Bill Brown WB8ELK's
balloon flight prediction software) with these incomplete readings we
predicted a touchdown at 69.2 miles from launch site on a bearing of 68.8
degrees. If you check the actual data above you'll be amazed at the accuracy
of this prediction. However, because of the incomplete data, interpolation
was used to estimate (incorrectly) the high altitude winds and we officially
used a figure of 48.7 miles at an azimuth of 63.9 degrees to position our
tracking and recovery teams. High altitude winds were stronger than
anticipated.
The W6ORE flight controller aboard the payload performed to near
perfection throughout the flight compiling and transmitting both standard
EOSS packet telemetry and an Automatic Position Reporting System (APRS)
location packet. Loran-C lost lock on ascent at about 30,000 feet but we
were able to regain lock at about 35,000 feet and maintained lock throughout
the rest of the flight.
ATV got some great shots. We may have even captured the balloon
bursting on video tape. All at the ground station were very impressed!
The APRS packet tracking program worked perfectly during the entire
flight. An APRS station was running at the ground control station and
provided a graphic map display of the location of the balloon during its
flight over eastern Colorado. Larry Cerney and Rick von Glahn ran APRS as
well as GPS in their vehicles during the recovery operations. It was of
great assistance in the hunt. We should soon have an HST file (used by APRS)
ready for the flight of EOSS-16.
The payload was recovered about 3 hours after launch. George Reidmuller
and Paul Ternlund ran a tight ship. Under their skilled leadership were RDF
stations:
ALPHA - Paul Ternlund WB3JZV (computerized triangulation station)
BRAVO - Geroge Reidmuller N0NJM (net control), Marty Griffin WA0GEH
CHARLIE - Dan Meyer N0PUF
DELTA - Dave Galpin KB0LP
ECHO - Bob Ragain WB4ETT, Dawn Ragain N0QCW, Colleen Ragain N0QGH
FOXTROT - Greg Burnett K0ELM
GOLF - Ian Zahn KB0HKY
HOTEL - Rick von Glahn N0KKZ and Bob Sacco
INDIA - Larry Cerney N0STZ
Jack Crabtree AA0P was also in the field relaying packet data and
chasing the payload with GPS.
This was probably the best radio direction finding (RDF) experience in
EOSS history. Using LORAN-C as a benchmark, bearings from the RDF stations
were shown to be the most accurate ever for the group as a whole.
While the LORAN-C was helpful as usual, it was the RDF data that
provided the best information to lead the recovery teams to the payload.
Paul Ternlund and Bob Ragain were first to the site. Paul had a slight
advantage as he arrived on the road closest to the payload and was rewarded
with the pleasant job of announcing the discovery of the package. The
various payload, parachute and support lines were left in place for the
inspection of the other members of the recovery team at their arrival.
The payload survived the flight and landing and was ready to fly again
with only some minor repairs to the Loran-C antenna.
We would be interested in hearing from anyone who copied any of our
transmissions. Send your QSLs to:

Thanks to all who helped out with the flight from ground station set-up
to the tracking and recovery effort. We are all looking forward to the next
flight tentatively scheduled sometime in early June. It should be another
great time for all.

You may have to go to HF for that. There may be some private repeater
clubs that may have links along the west coast or clubs with a HF rig tied
into the system...

Subject: PacketCluster Commands
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Here is a list I put together a while ago (early 1992) - it should
have most of the important commands:
PacketCluster (tm) V5.1
(c) 1986-1991, Pavillion Software
The available PacketCluster commands are:
ANNOUNCE - make a general announcement to all connected stations
BYE - bye, disconnect from the PacketCluster
CONFERENCE - enter conference mode
DELETE - delete mail message
DIRECTORY - list active mail messages
DX - DX spotting info announcement
EXECUTE - execute your personal command procedure
FINDFILE - locate file(s) on the system
HELP or ? - help (displays this listing)
HELP command - display help for that particular command
READ - read mail message
REPLY - reply to the last-read mail message
SEND - send mail message
SET - set user-specific parameters
SHOW - display various PacketCluster information
SWITCH - change to alias call
TALK - talk to specified station
TYPE - display a particular file on the PacketCluster
UPDATE - update a custom database
UPLOAD - upload a file to the PacketCluster
WWV - log/announce WWV propagation information
WX - announce weather conditions
Command: ANNOUNCE This command is used to send a text string out to all
stations which are connected to the PacketCluster. If you
wish to make announcement to only those users connected to
a particular PacketCluster node, you can specify the call
of the node on the command. The ANNOUNCE command defaults
to the local node; a cluster-wide announcement requires
using the /FULL qualifier on the command. You can also
specify a distribution list as a qualifier. The ANNOUNCE
command may be used while in Conference Mode or Talk
Mode by prefacing it with an asterisk (*).
Syntax: Announce msg
Announce/call msg
Announce/Full msg
Announce/distro msg
Command: BYE Bye command informs the PacketCluster that you wish to
disconnect. This is the recommended way of disconnecting,
instead of using the D command to your TNC.
Syntax: Bye
Command: CONFERENCE This command places you into Conference Mode. You will
see all input from any other station that is also in
Conference Mode. Note that by default, you are put into
the local conference on your PacketCluster node. A
ctrl/Z or the text /EXIT will cause you to leave
Conference Mode and return to the PacketCluster command
level. When in the local conference, your call will have
a plus sign (+) next to it in the SHOW/USERS display.
Syntax: CONFERence
*** Note ***
While in Conference Mode, you are able to do the following
PacketCluster commands:
ANNOUNCE - make a general announcement to all stations
DX - DX spotting functions
TALK msg - send a one-line message to another station
SHOW/CONFIGURATION - display cluster configuration
SHOW/DX - show DX log
SHOW/USERS - show what stations are connected
SHOW/WWV - show WWV propagation information
WWV - announce WWV information
This is done by prefacing the command with an asterisk (*):
*DX, *T, *ANNOUNCE for example.
Command: CONFERENCE/FULL This command is identical to CONFERENCE except
that the conference is global throughout the
cluster. Users in global conference mode are
designated with an asterisk (*) next to their
call in the SHOW/USERS display.
Syntax: CONFERence/Full
Command: DELETE The DELETE command is used to delete mail messages on the
PacketCluster. If no message number is specified, the last
mail message read will be deleted; otherwise, the one
specified by message number.
Syntax: DElete
DElete message-#,message-#,...
Command: DIRECTORY This command is used to display a list of the current
mail messages on the PacketCluster node to which you
are connected. A hyphen (-) next to a particular mail
message number indicates that the message has been read
by the station to which it was addressed, a plus sign
(+) indicates message set to noauto_delete, an asterisk
(*) indicates both read and noauto_delete, and a "p"
indicates a private message.
If you specify a call on the command, you will see
messages only sent by or to that station.
Syntax: DIRectory/qualifier
DIRectory callsign
Command: DIRECTORY/ALL Display all active mail messages. By default, only
the five most-recent messages, or all since your
last use of the DIRECTORY command (whichever is
greater) will be displayed.
Command: DIRECTORY/BULLETIN
Display mail messages addressed to ALL.
Command: DIRECTORY/NEW Display all mail messages which have been sent since
your last use of the DIRECTORY command.
Command: DIRECTORY/OWN Display mail messages which are addressed to you or
were sent by you.
Command: DIRECTORY/nn Display the nn most-recent mail messages.
Command: DX The DX command allows you to announce DX spotting
information to all other stations which are connected
to the PacketCluster. Also see command SHOW/DX. While in
Conference or Talk Mode, use *DX.
Syntax: DX frequency callsign misc-info
where frequency is of the format 14025.10, for example.
Misc-info should be kept brief as the system will add
the date and time after it. Misc-info is optional.
Command: DX/call The DX command with the /call qualifier allows you to
announce DX spotting information and to credit the DX
spot to the station whose callsign you specify.
Syntax: DX[/call] frequency callsign misc-info
Example: DX/K1GQ 14001.1 3C0A
Command: EXECUTE This command is used to execute your private command
procedure which has been uploaded with UPLOAD/USERCMD.
Syntax: EXECUTE
Command: FINDFILE This command is used to locate files on the PacketCluster.
You may specify either a full file name or a partial name
with wildcards (*). The system searches all defined file
areas for the file.
Syntax: FIndfile filename or filename-mask
Example: FINDFILE ARRL.DAT
FINDFILE ARRL*.*
Command: READ This command is used to read a mail message which is shown
in the DIRECTORY display. A READ without a message number
will read the oldest unread mail message addressed to you.
Any mail message may be read if the message number is
specified on the READ command.
Syntax: Read
Read message-#
Read/nopage message-#
Command: REPLY This command is used to reply to the last mail message which
was read. The subject of the resulting message will be the
same as that of the previously-read message with an RE:
preceding it. You may also specify a message number to
reply to, so that reading it first is unnecessary.
Syntax: REPly
REPly msg-#
Command: REPLY/DELETE
This variation of the REPLY command does the same function
but also deletes the messages to which you are replying.
Syntax: REPly/Delete
Command: SEND This command is used to send a mail message to another
station. You will be prompted for the station being sent
to, the subject, and the message. The mail message may be
terminated with either a ctrl/Z or the text /EXIT. If you
wish to cancel the mail message, send a ctrl/Y to the system.
The /PRIVATE qualifier sends a private message; the
/NOPRIVATE qualifier sends a public message. The /RR
qualifier requests a return receipt, so that when the
addressee reads the mail, a confirmation is returned to the
sender.
Syntax: Send
Send/Private
Send/NOPrivate
Send/RR
Command: SET The SET command is used to set user-specific options on the
PacketCluster.
Syntax: SEt/qualifier
Additional help available for the following SET qualifiers:
/ALIAS /ANSI /BEEP /DX_ANNOUNCEMENTS
/FILTER /HERE /HOME_NODE /LOCATION
/LOGIN_ANNOUNCEMENTS /LOGOUT_ANNOUNCEMENBTS
/MAIL_ANNOUNCEMENTS /NAME /NEED
/NOALIAS /NOANSI /NOBEEP /NODX_ANNOUNCEMENTS
/NOFILTER /NOHERE /NOLOGIN_ANNOUNCEMENTS
/NOMAIL_ANNOUNCEMENTS /NONEED /NOPRIVILEGE
/NOTALK /NOWWV_ANNOUNCEMENTS /PAGE
/PRIVILEGE /QTH /TALK /WWV_ANNOUNCEMENTS
Command: SHOW The SHOW command is used to display certain information
on the PacketCluster.
Syntax: SHow/qualifier
Additional help available for the following SHOW qualifiers:
/ANNOUNCE /ARCHIVE /BULLADDR /BULLETINS
/CLUSTER /COMMANDS /CONFIGURATION /DISTRO
/DX /EXCLUDE /FILES /FILTER
/FORWARD /HEADING /INACTIVITY /LOCATION
/LOG /LOGON_MESSAGES /MUF /NEED
/NOTICE /PREFIX /STATE /STATION
/SUN /TIME /USERS /VERSION
/WWV /WX
Command: SWITCH This command switches your connection between your normal
call and an alias call that you have specified with a
SET/ALIAS command.
Syntax: SWITCH
Command: TALK The TALK command is used to talk to various stations
which are connected to the PacketCluster. There are two
types of TALK: Talk Mode to another station, and a one-line
Talk function.
Syntax: Talk call Talk to the specified station. This provides
one-way talk capability to that station. If
that station wants to communicate back, they
must also do a T command. A ctrl/Z will only
terminate your side of the talk.
Talk call msg This allows you to send a one-line message to
the specified station. It does NOT put you
into talk mode and hence, no ctrl/Z is needed
to terminate it.
Note: This type of Talk is also available from
within Conference mode by prefacing the T
with an asterisk (*T).
*** Note ***
The following commands are available from within Talk
Mode: DX, SHOW/DX, ANNOUNCE, TALK (one line talk to another
station), SHOW/USERS, and SHOW/WWV by prefacing them with an
asterisk (*).
Command: TALK/TIMESTAMP This command instructs PacketCluster to timestamp
the one-line message you are sending to the
specified station.
Syntax: Talk/Timestamp call message
Command: TYPE This command is used to display a file which has been
uploaded to the PacketCluster. The files which are available
may be shown by doing a SHOW/FILES, SHOW/BULLETIN, or
SHOW/ARCHIVE. The qualifier must be the same as that on the
SHOW command. If no qualifier is specified, it is assumed
the file resides in the /BULLETIN area.
Syntax: TYpe/area filename
TYpe/area/nn filename (displays on nn lines of file)
TYpe/USERCMD (displays personal command file)
Command: UPDATE This command is used to update a database which has been
setup by the sysop. You will be asked for a key value,
followed by the text which should be associated with this
key value. Databases which have been defined on your system
may be displayed with the SHOW/COMMANDS command.
Syntax: UPDATE/database
Example: UPDATE/QSLNEW
Enter key value:
1A0KM
Enter text. Terminate with ctrl/Z or /EXIT ...
QSL 1A0KM via I0IJ
/EXIT
Command: UPDATE/APPEND The APPEND qualifier instructs PacketCluster to
add your new text to the current entry which exists
in the database.
Syntax: UPDATE/database/APPEND
Command: UPLOAD This command is used to upload files to the PacketCluster.
UPLOAD without a qualifier, or with the /FILES qualifier
will upload the file to the files area and will be shown
on subsequent SHOW/FILES commands. The /BULLETIN qualifier
will upload the file to the bulletin area and will be shown
on subsequent SHOW/BULLETIN commands. To upload a personal
command procedure, use the /USERCMD qualifier.
Syntax: UPload filename
UPload/Bulletin filename
UPload/Files filename
UPload/Usercmd
Command: WWV This command allows you to announce and log WWV propagation
information. To display previously-logged information, use
SHOW/WWV. In Conference or Talk Mode, use *WWV.
Syntax: Wwv SF=xxx,A=xx,K=xx,forecast
Command: WX This command allows you to announce weather conditions to
the local cluster users. If a cluster-wide announcement is
desired, use WX/FULL.
Syntax: WX information
WX/FULL information

I'd be impressed if you got a 1Gb/s fiber optic link going. :-)
I take an opto-electronics course once that had a student made fiber optics
demonstrator box that cranked out a whole 100 kbps!! Oooh, wow!
(Sorry... most of the labs here at the U of W have really crappy
