ARRL 13th ANNUAL DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS CONFERENCE AUGUST 19-21
Do you operate a Digital mode (maybe Pactor, Packet, GTOR or AMTOR) now?
Is it hard to keep up with the latest Digital technology? Would you like to
know more about Digital modes? If "yes" to any of these questions, then
attend the 13th Annual ARRL Digital Communications Conference.
The Conference will be held on August 19 - 21, 1994 at the Thunderbird
Convention Center, 2201 East 78th Street in Bloomington, Minnesota.
Accomodations are available at the Thunderbird Hotel, at hotels and motels
located nearby, and also at several area RV\camper campgrounds.
Enjoy a weekend of fun learning about the latest developments in TCP/IP,
PACTOR, AMTOR, PACTOR-II, CLOVER, G-TOR, PACKET, DSP, and imaging. Participate
in nine forums about DSP, new HF modes, TCP/IP, VHF/UHF networking, BBS
SYSOP issues and more. A glance at the program (attached) will show many
forums that will catch your interest!
A highlight of the conference will be the presentation of technical papers on
many aspects of digital communications throughout the day, Saturday. A list
of papers is attached. You will receive a copy of all papers presented.
Many demonstrations of the latest in hardware and software will be presented.
The conference kicks off Friday evening with an educational forum "The Basics
of Amateur Digital Communications - A Crash Course for Beginners" with
instructor John Kaplan, WR0W. The Saturday evening Technical Showcase will
feature TAPR Special Interest Group meetings for BBS SYSOPs and on VHF/UHF
network building and a technical presentation on "Low Cost HF DSP Modems" by
Johan Forrer, KC7WW.
The Hospitality Room will provide the place to meet old friends and make
new ones. At Saturday's luncheon you will get to know "who's who" in
digital communications. Meet the Engineering staff of manufacturers like
Kantronics and Timewave Technologies. The optional Saturday evening diner
will provide another opportunity to make new friends.
If you want a break from the Conference, the Mall of America, with hundreds
of unique stores, is located within walking distance. The family will
enjoy Knott's Camp Snoopy theme park inside the Mall. The renowned Minnesota
Zoo is only a short drive away.
The Conference registration fee is $45 per person, which includes admission to
all Conference activities, a luncheon buffet and a copy of the technical
papers. An optional Saturday evening buffet is $20 per person additional.
Registration deadline is August 12th.

Subject: Crossband repeating rigs & auto IDers
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Well, I would like to know how you can make a "repeater extension"
with Xband repeater (that depends on what type of repeaters you
are using, of course). I think the problem looks like this:
You want to operate 2m repeater using Xband mobile and 70cm HT
1. You push PTT to open the repeater, mobile rig repeats O.K
2. Carrier from repeater opens the 2m squelch on your mobile, starts
transmitting on 70cm, and transmits as long as there is a
carrier, so, you arent able to talk through to input, right?
(at least here in OH most of the repeaters stay on maybe 15s after
squelch closed, so it dont have to be a problem everywhere)

Hi!
I'm hoping you people in this newsgroup can help me out.
(In fact, I hope this is the correct newsgroup to ask this in...if not
please forgive the waste of bandwidth)
I'm doing some preliminary research on Positional systems, specifically
GPS (and to some extent LORAN-C). Can anyone point me in the right direction
of: 1) Overviews 2) Manuals/how-to guides 3) Implementation details
Also, how feasible is it for someone to create their own GPS receiver? Any
tips?
Thanks for the help

Hello,
I am looking for any recommendations on 2M mobile rigs. I am looking for a rig
that is resistant to intermod. It will be mounted in an '89 Chevy pickup so
size is not an overwhelming concern. I have been considering an ICOM IC-281H,
YAESU FT2200 or FT2400. Any comments or suggestions?

Subject: Help! How to improve my CW speed?
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Greetings!
I couldn't get above 200 w.p.m. sending until changing over to a
dynamically balanced titanium spring on the Speed-X J-38. The stock one would
fly off at about 100 w.p.m. scaring the cat.
On receive it was different. I had to fasten the clipboard onto a 3"
thick maple-laminated workbench top using 3/8" lag screws writing on mylar
sheets with a high-speed chart recorder pen assembly before 150 w.p.m. was
feasible. The regular pencil leads would break or rip the paper. For some
reason copying is more difficult for me than sending.
I use a special code that enables writing down a sentence at a time:
"My rig is a __________" = X. Specific device in the final
would be interesting.
"I don't get out much." = X.
"The temperature here is 20 degrees" = X. Is it F or C?

I need information for a homebrew GPS (Global Positioning

would be extremely helpful. I need information on theory,
frequencies and modulation, and circuit schematics. Although I
would prefer to build my own, any information about commercially
available units would be helpful (specifications, sources, and
prices), however I will need to hook the output of the device
into other equipment. I am also seeking good information on how
to set up an experiential differential GPS system.

I don't see dits and dahs - speaking for myself. Words pop up and then
for unfamiliar words the string of letters popup. At the slow speeds
below 25 wpm it's a letter by letter type operation and a few words.
I also find that I buffer internally at any speed, and once in a while
at high speeds I will lose some stuff because of a single letter being
missed in an unfamiliar word. I cease copying and 'play back' the part
that I missed. I can't explain the details. See next paragraph.

It's the 'centipede syndrome' - if you ask how someone does it, they lose
it trying to think about the details. I don't think that anyone can sit
down and say 'this is the way my son' to do this. There is no cookbook CW
for everyone. Play at it and it will come. If it's work, you'll never
ever like it until you 'chill out'. There is no instant learning for
this stuff - like most stuff worth learning it just takes time. Pay your
dues and get on with your life.

I too was off (about 10 yrs) and came back at 40wpm and within a few
weeks was back to high speeds. As long as you don't destroy whatever
part of your brain that is important for this stuff, it should still
work. I've never even experimented with drugs and think that's why
I still remember everything that I'm trying to forget. :-)
I am about to hit the big 52 in September. I don't think that aging
effects have set in. I've always had days where 60+ is a breeze and
others where I have to work into it for a short period of time (5 to
10 minutes I'd guess) to get back to comfortable copying. I hope and
pray that CW is the last thing to go. Which wife? Which telephone? -
the home, cellular, fax, office, .... :-) As another side light,
my ears still work good. I hear people whispering behind my back
all the time. Paranoia - a wonderful disease. :-) My English
ain't so good either.

Huh? Why? (Avoiding "competing" with commercial stations?)
