Is that what it means? On repeaters in California and Florida I keep
hearing people identify themselves as, for example, KC6WCH/4ID. I
kept wondering what that meant.
For fun -- but only once in a while so I don't become TOO annoying --
I will rebell against the "for I.D." and say "for the FCC". hihi

Gary's pointing out one context in which it could make sense to
say "for ID," but he's not saying that you have to break in to
say your call.
If you're in a big roundtable, or a net, it makes sense to say
your call at the end of each transmission so that you don't have
to worry about what happens in 10 minutes. If, say, the power
goes off, or if you have a heart attack, you can concentrate on
your other problems and not worry about a pink slip.

You must identify on your last transmission. If you gave your
callsign on your last transmission you're ok. If you didn't, then
you're still in the QSO, and you must identify every ten minutes.

While perhaps his nomenclature and speech was poor (akin to CB), is this
anything truly wrong with letting fellow hams know of an impending radar trap?
I have done this (though usually on the Interstate in a QSO with someone I knew
was behind me) and don't see a thing wrong with it.
Could this be another one of the (MANY) things Mikey doesn't like?

Let's plese get it straight. Amateur radio here in Southern Cal has
nothing to do with CBers getting on the bands. Not sure what it is like

Here in Southern Cal, amateur radio is in great shape. We have very few
lids on 2 meters, and we don't have a lot of cb-type operating. Don't
know what it's like where you are, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't
defame us southern Cal types. Courtesy and friendliness is what
characterizes amateur radio here.
Sorry to hear that things aren't as good where you are as they are here
in Southern Cal.

Since I read your message, I tried it out myself. I think I may have

two radios tuned to the local repeater. The 202 and another w/o power
save. I first tried the 1:2 setting. I noticed the very brief delay
between the non-power saved HT and the power saved 202. I then tried
the 1:4 setting. I noted the 1/4 second delay but not the several
seconds' delay you describe. I'll do more testing and see if it
happens to me on which power save setting.

Well - you might become a little annoyed by this Hz vs. Cycles
matter... IMHO meters vs. feet topic is much more interesting. I believe
deep in my heart that feet/yard/miles (as well as seconds/minutes/hours)
is a complete braindamage and should be reformed. Anyway - it's very
annoying to answer questions like in the HAM exams - how many
feet is 28.5Mhz etc. I know that wavelength in meters is 300/MHz - and
that's enough...

Bhutan, A5. Word is out that Jim Smith, VK9NS is waiting for the
final word from the Ministry of Communications and would be off and
running. He might also operate from Bangladesh and Nepal on the way
to Bhutan. Please Jim, some RTTY activity.
Crete, SV9. HA6NY plans to be active on RTTY 24-31 May.
Mariana Island, KH0. JA6VTZ and JF6BCC plan to operate 10 thru 160,

I recently added a couple of TAPR Elmers (with information about
their "official" customer service and file server addresses) to the
Amateur Radio Elmers Resource Directory, which was posted to this newsgroup
(among others) on May 1st. If it's already expired at your site, finger

As the maintainer of the "Elmers list" for this newsgroup (among others),
I too would be interested in this information. I know several people
who have AMSAT E-mail addresses, one or two being on the Elmers list
(such as Bob Carpenter, W3OTC), but don't have any official customer
service contacts for membership information, files, or mailing lists.
If you wish to submit information about AMSAT, or find out more about
the Elmers list and how to obtain a current copy of it, please finger
pschleck@unomaha.edu or send E-mail to elmers-request@unomaha.edu.
On a related subject, something that the moderator of rec.radio.info
(Mark Salyzyn, VE6MGS) and I are very interested in is who is relaying the
AMSAT-related bulletins like the Orbital Elements and Space News to the
Info-Hams@ucsd.edu gateway. What is currently happening is that their
respective maintainers are submitting them to Mark who cross-posts them
to rec.radio.amateur.space and rec.radio.info (which causes them to be
relayed to the Ham-Space and Radio-Info mailing lists), then they appear
on Info-Hams (rec.radio.amateur.misc). E-mail to the maintainers
reveals that they are not the ones doing the duplicate posting, a person
or persons unknown within AMSAT is.
It's certainly not our place to dictate how bulletins should be posted,
or even who should post them, but if they are going to posted to several
newsgroups, a simultaneous cross-post is most desirable (propagating a
single article within news that will appear in most modern newsreaders
only once, although it will be duplicated on the mailing lists). Also,
if there will be multiple submitters to news of bulletins with packet-radio
BID's, they should use the Message-ID encapsulation convention like the
following:
SB BID$NNN @ DISTRIBUTION
becomes:
Message-ID: <bid$nnn.1994@ampr.org>
In this way any one news site will have only one copy of the bulletin,
regardless of how many submitters post it.
Mark is perfectly willing to help anyone manage the complexity in
properly formatting their bulletins. This could be as simple as mailing
it to a different E-mail address (rec-radio-info@ve6mgs.ampr.ab.ca
instead of Info-Hams@ucsd.edu).
While rec.radio.amateur.space (and Ham-Space) is really the most
appropriate target for these bulletins (based on their charters agreed
to by a vote of the readership at the last newsgroup reorganization), in
the interest of cooperation, we would be amenable to simultaneously
cross-posting the AMSAT-related bulletins to rec.radio.info, r.r.a.space,
*and* r.r.a.misc (as it's still only one article being propagated) if
there is still a strong desire to relay these bulletins to their
"traditional" mailing list (we realize that some of the conventions and
procedures for relaying radio bulletins predate the rec.radio.info newsgroup
and not everyone is going to adopt our recommended techniques overnight,
if at all).
Mark and I would very much like to hear from individuals within AMSAT
who are interested in using the net to publicize their organization and
distribute their bulletins in the most invisible and bandwidth-efficient
ways possible. An excellent forum for discussing some of these issues
with Mark, myself, and about a dozen other experienced radio information
maintainers on the Internet is the rec.radio.amateur Working Group mailing
list (rra-wg). To subscribe, send E-mail to rra-wg-request@amdahl.com.
