We can. I've worked Saudi Arabia. There are Americans operating
there using a 7Z call and they have a US QSL manager. They are
quite active.

Hi,
I recently made two QSOs with stations whose managers are in the
1994 callbook. I have an older book that serves me fine most of the
time, but not this time. So, if some kind soul could e-mail me
addresses for the following calls, I'd be grateful:
9A2AA
DL5DCA
Sorry to freeload this time. Please don't post here; e-mail me.

I second Gary's comments. For a neat hole with less effort, buy a Greenlee
3/4" round punch, just perfect for those NMO mounts. Access to the roof
is usually through the dome light, and the new headliners are semi-rigid,
which makes fishing the coax over to the windshield pillar quite easy.
The pillar trim usually comes off quite easily, as well, allowing you to route
the coax down the pillar and under the dash.
Larsen sells excellent NMO mount antennas, and a pack of 5 little black
NMO hole plugs, which you goop up with silicone seal and pop into the hole
before you sell the car.

Peter

SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------
Solar activity was very low. No flares were observed. A
filament near Region 7779 (N17W69) was observed to erupt from
23/1300Z to 1354Z. Region 7781 (S08W07) is growing slowly.
Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
very low.
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled becoming unsettled to active
by the end of the forecast period due to a coronal hole.
Event probabilities 24 sep-26 sep
Class M 01/01/01
Class X 01/01/01
Proton 01/01/01
PCAF Green
Geomagnetic activity probabilities 24 sep-26 sep
A. Middle Latitudes
Active 10/30/30
Minor Storm 05/20/20
Major-Severe Storm 01/15/15
B. High Latitudes
Active 10/25/25
Minor Storm 05/25/25
Major-Severe Storm 01/20/20
HF propagation conditions continued near-normal over all
regions, although the weakened state of the ionosphere is
resulting in reduced MUFs. Similar conditions are expected
over the next day or two. Effects of a well-placed coronal
hole could begin degrading high and polar path propagation
anytime now. The most serious degradation is expected on 25
and 26 September.

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.
Acronyms used to identify sweeps and optical phenomena include:
II = Type II Sweep Frequency Event

IV = Type IV Sweep
V = Type V Sweep
Continuum = Continuum Radio Event

Hi Scott. The ARRL Operating Manual contains a great section
on operating awards. As near as I can remember, it describes about
300 different awards. None local, although many are forign.
The Operating Manual is a great book that I use about 10 times
as much as the ARRL Handbook.

well, I would consider joining the ARRL (get QST) or subscribing to CQ or 73.
All the mags publish an event schedule listing hamfests for the next month or
so.
You don't have to be a ham to be an ARRL member. You do have to be a ham to be
able to vote on the few things members get to vote on and to be able to to be
appointed to a job...you'd be an associate member until you received your
license and at that time you'd notify the league and there you are.

Subject: MFJ and FBB, how????
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
I have just ordered n MFJ 1276 TNC from the States. My intention is to run a
BBS on VHF, with Pactor forwarding on HF. I will be using the (F6)FBB software
to run the BBS (v 5.15).
My question arises from the set-up instructions contained in the FBB manual.
It states that "...for TNC-2 or close clones. The EPROM of the type 27256 must
be replaced by a special EPROM with the WA8DED host mode software, or by the
German TF4, TF8 or TF18" (Pg 37 of manual)
Now the MFJ advert that I saw prior to ordering my 1276, says that the MFJ is
a clone of the TNC-2 type, totally compatible with the TAPR system, and is used
in the US for digi's and BBS's.
Q1. Do I need to order the special EPROM mentioned, or does the MFJ come standard
with the "right stuff".
Q2. What software are the majority of BBS's in the USA running on, here in
ZS land, FBB is the favourite. If not FBB in the States, is the favourite
available via FTP anonymous site.
Please e-mail to my Reply To, or [:-(] post replies here.
Many thanks for taking the time to read and assist in this matter.

If it was the same ad that I got recently, it even said that it was last

What is the advantage of this over using DC, forward only?

Listen to Farnsworth coding, this is where the letters are sent at a much
higher speed than you can copy, but with an intercharacter space that you
can deal with. The symbols are transmitted as if at 16wpm, a speed that
is typically much beyond the capability for one to hear the individual dits
and dahs, but the characters are presented at a rate that would by typical of
5wpm (PARIS transmitted 5 times a minute).
The ARRL code tapes use farmsworth coding.

Much as I read and run into this phenomena I still find it hard to believe
that so many people let others dictate minute details (i.e. not related
to public safety) what they can do with their private property.
