Hello folks.
I mentioned to the people here in Columbus about the ACC Newsgroup or that
they had an E-mail address, and immediately they turned around and wanted
to know if A/D Technologies of Atlanta, GA had internet access or some sort
of news cluster made. They are kind of new to the amateur market, but they
have a very nice product. FYI, they will be at Dayton.
Anybody have any information?
Thanks.

This type of activity doesn't bother me, but I have heard the argument
that "Yes, it is non profit, but it is conducting the 'business' of the
organization" When I hear this argument, I think of the hamfest talk-in
and parking usage of ham radio. It certainly is the 'business' of the
organization that puts on the hamfest. What if National Public Radio
(I think they're non-profit) wanted to use amateur radio to coordinate
some activity?
It's a complex issue. I hate it when the government has to lay so many
rules down in concrete. I wish common sense / courtesy / good judgement /
etc. would work to "control" people's actions. Several hams helping
out at a church event without interfering with all the other highly
important ham radio communication that goes on in the area seems ok to
me.
I'm through rambling now.

CHINA HAM NEWS
APRIL 16, 1994
EDITED BY RICK NIU, BZ1QL
CHINA HAM NEWS IS ORIGINATED AT BY1QH, OPERATED BY THE
TSINGHUA UNIVERSITY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB IN BEIJING, CHINA. IT
IS RELEASED FIRST AND THIRD WEEKENDS EVERY MONTH, AND IS
AVAILABLE FOR UNLIMITED DISTRIBUTION.
WE WHOLEHEARTEDLY CONGRATULATE OUR GOOD, OLD FRIEND
DIETER, DJ7BU, ON OBTAINING HIS AMATEUR RADIO OPERATOR'S CERT-
IFICATE FOR VISITORS. A SIEMENS DEPUTY DEPARTMENT MANAGER,
DIETER HAS BEEN WORKING, BOTH IN THE BUSINESS AND HAM RADIO
AREAS, IN SHANGHAI, GUANGZHOU AND BEIJING FOR OVER FIVE YEARS,
AND IS PRETTY WELL KNOWN IN THE CHINESE AMATEUR RADIO
COMMUNITY. SINCE MARCH 25, 1994, DJ7BU/BY1QH HAS BEEN
OFFICIALLY VALIDATED AND IS OWNED BY A GERMAN RADIO AMATEUR
OPERATING FROM THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA.
1ST DIGITAL BA... WHEN A BY1QH MEMBER SPOT BA1GYS ON HF PACKET,
EVERYBODY SAID THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM.
BUT THE NEXT DAY WHEN RICK TALKED WITH MR. GUO YUNSHENG (GYS,
THAT IS), HE SAID HE WAS HOPING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT PACTOR1
EQUIPPED WITH TWO STANDARD TUS (A GERMAN HC AND A YX-9001) AND
A 386 COMPUTER PLUS A KENWOOD 440, BA1GYS IS TRYING TO BRING
THE 20-ODD BA GROUP INTO THE MAGIC WORLD OF DIGITAL
COMMUNICATIONS. RIGHT NOW GUO'S PROBLEM SEEMS TO LIE IN THE
LACK OF RELATED REFERENCES, BOOKS, HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE,
PREFERABLY FOR PACKET AND PACTOR.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN HELPING THE BA GET UP AND RUNNING,
AND YOU HAPPEN TO BE ABLE TO DO GUO A FAVOR, PLEASE DIRECT
WHATEVER YOU MAY SEND HIM TO: MR. GUO YUNSHENG, BA1GYS C/O
RICK NIU, BZ1QL, ROOM 316 BUILDING 25, TSINGHUA UNIVERSITY,
BEIJING 100084, CHINA.
HAM RADIO ON BEIJING TV... A 25-MINUTE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TELE-
VISION PROGRAM ABOUT AMATEUR RADIO AND THE TUARC WAS AIRED ON
BEIJING TELEVISION (BTV) FEBRUARY 20. THIS MAY HAVE BEEN THE
VERY FIRST TIME IN CHINA THAT OUR HOBBY IS INTRODUCED TO THE
GENERAL PUBLIC VIA A NOTED TV STATION. FOUR OF THE CLUB
MEMBERS - NICK, GRAY, JOHN AND SEAN - DID A SUPER JOB IN THE
SHOW WHILE RICK WAS BEHIND THE SCENE AS AN ASSISTANT DIRECTOR.
THANKS TO SAM N3NFK FOR A VIDEOTAPE OF REFERENCE.
BT2000BJ QSLS... AT LAST, ALL THE STACKED BT2000BJ QSL
CARDS WERE SENT OUT IN THE FIRST WEEK OF APRIL FROM TUARC.
AGAIN WE DEEPLY APOLOGIZE FOR SUCH AN 'UNBEARABLE' DELAY. BY
THE WAY, THE BY1QH CALLBOOK QSL ROUTE STILL WORKS PERFECT:
P.O. BOX 2654, BEIJING, CHINA.

item was too long to run in its entirety.

G-TOR, the new faster HF digital mode ... part 1
by Phil Anderson W0XI and others, from an article in the RTTY
Digital Journal March 1994
On New Years Day, W0XI and WK5M transmitted a 9,718 byte file
from Kansas to WA4EGT in California on 20-meters in 5 minutes,
20 seconds. The mode was G-TOR. Immediately thereafter, the
file was transmitted again, this time using Pactor. It took 20
minutes, 15 seconds. Throughout the month of January these
tests were repeated with over one-million bytes transferred
error-free. The average character/second rate for G-TOR was
23.7 and for Pactor 8.64.
G-TOR, short for Golay-TOR, is an innovation of Kamtronics
Co., Inc. It is a new HF digital communications mode for the
amateur service. The error correction coding outlined in MIL-
STD-188-141A forms the basis for G-TOR. In order to keep costs
low yet take advantage of concepts prescribed in the standards
G-TOR makes use of exisiting multi-mode TNC hardware but
establishes a completely new hybrid-ARQ system in firmware.
The benefits of these innovations are exceptional:
- dramatically increased throughput
- apparent reduction in the effects of interference an
multi-path
- low cost.
The key features of G-TOR are atypical:
- extended Golay forward error correction coding
- full-frame data interleaving
- on-demand Huffman data compression with run-length
encoding
- link-quality based baud rate: 300, 200, or 100
- 2.4 second hybrid ARQ cycle
- fuzzy acknowledgements
- reduced overhead within data frames
- standard FSK tone pairs (mark and space).

Another SAREX success
During the just-completed shuttle mission, STS-59, astronauts Jay
Apt, N5QWL, and Linda Godwin, N5RAX, used their SAREX 2-meter
equipment for a contact with Astronaut Ken Cameron, R3/KB5AWP, on
assignment at the Russian space facility at Star City, near Moscow.
The two astronaut-hams also spoke to cosmonaut Anatoli Artsibartski,
U6MIR. The contacts were made on two successive passes overhead.
Jay Apt said ''Ken is my friend and former STS-37 crewmate. It was
terrific to hear his voice after several months corresponding by
e-mail only. What a great way to use ham radio.''
Cameron and Artsibartski were standing near the Star City statue of
Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, using a hand held transceiver and
5/8 wavelength whip antenna, standing on a car to increase their
elevation, astronaut Jay Apt related in an Amateur Radio packet
message from space.

NO EVENTS OBSERVED.
NOTES:
All times are in Universal Time (UT). Characters preceding begin, max,
and end times are defined as: B = Before, U = Uncertain, A = After.
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
III = Type III Sweep
IV = Type IV Sweep
V = Type V Sweep
Continuum = Continuum Radio Event
Loop = Loop Prominence System,
Spray = Limb Spray,
Surge = Bright Limb Surge,
EPL = Eruptive Prominence on the Limb.

Sorry for the incorrect post,but this is INFOrmation for a Ham so
therefore Info-Hams is the correct place (Logic).
I received an IBM H3342 340 Meg hard drive with no docs.
Can some kind individual tell me the jumper setting to set it up as a
slave drive.
Thanks

I will be doing some interviewing at Dayton for my paper on
"Evolution in Postwar Amateur Radio in the United States."
I will have a tape recorder and would love to get your input.
We'll be at the Hampton Inn with the FRC contingent in Englewood,
and the FRC suite and the contest dinner at Stouffer's.
Tnx and CU!!

Please don't do this! Alt.* is not a trial hierarchy.
If you think there is enough traffic for a rec group, then put
in the RFD for it. (A pre-existing mailing list is a great way
to demonstrate such traffic).
If it fails the vote, *then*, by all means, propose the alt group.
This would be a much more legitimate use for alt.* and will help
keep it less cluttered.
Followups to news.groups, where this discussion belongs.

Actually it is a fair question as the term has only been applied in
ham radio jargon since the advent of widespread repeater usage.
Simplex refers to the non-simultaneous flow of data in a computer
connection. In radio, it refers to a typical non-repeater
contact whereby each party can only talk while the other is listening.
Additionally, both parties are transmitting and receiving on the
same frequency.
The computer bidirectional capability is called duplex, but that doesn't
refer to a repeater operation as the reality of repeater operation is
that the participants still can only transmit when the other party is
listening. Over time, the term simplex in amateur radio has more
meaning in terms of both parties using the same frequency to both
transmit and receive (whereas the repeater operation you listen to
the repeater output at one frequency, but the input is a different
frequency).

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
The term Simplex is also confused with the older usage
"direct" which implied simplex communication, and on the
same frequency, since it is possible to communicate in a
"simplex" mode with the two operators on different frequencies
within the same band or crossband.
One could suggest to another to "go to .52 Direct"
Just adding to the confusion....

Another one of those SWR myths: The transmitter is NOT matched to the
line. If it was then the SWR would be 1:1 and there would be no reflected
power anyway. The mismatch is the entire system, not just the antenna to
the far end of the transmission line.

Well, I've searched high and low.. and have found.. nothing.
What I am asking is that if anyone knows of one, please contact me.
I'm also looking for one that works with the QRZ! Callbook.
