Subject: 2M vs 70 cm
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
I'm just getting into amateur radio and waiting for my
tech license to arrive. I'm debating whether to start
out with a single-band (2M) HT or break the bank and
go twin-band (2M and 70 cm). I'm wondering if 70 cm
capability is worth the extra expense of pricey HT
and dual-band antennas. Are the propagation characteristics
of 70 cm sufficiently interesting to make it a worthwhile
complement to 2M, or would 2M alone be representational
of the VHF/UHF spectrum? Is 2M becoming so crowded that
70 cm would provide necessary room to roam, or is there
always room at the table on 2M? My primary interests
for getting into amateur radio are Skywarn, stimulating
ragchews and enjoying the DX, such as it is, that 2M
has with the tropo ducts, E and F layer skip provides.
If someone can convince me 70 cm is worth my time and
money, and that 70 cm has unique qualities compared
with 2M, I will start out with a twin-bander and eat
peanut butter sandwiches for a while. Otherwise,
I'll be hopping aboard 2M on the cheap while Rat
Shack and others have "realistic" prices on their HTs.
Thanks, and all the best. --Bill Ruth, Oberlin, Ohio

SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------
Solar activity increased to low levels. A new region is
at the east limb near S07. This region is the likely source of
multiple C-class flares - the largest was a C7 at 29/1247Z.
Frequent optical surging was observed from this site. This area
is also moderately large and bright in Yohkoh imagery. This is
a new region from last rotation and is likely in a growth
stage. A small new high latitude Region emerged at S23E06 and
was numbered as new Region 7772.
Solar activity forecast: solar activity should continue
at a low level with M-class flares a distinct possibility.
A more confident assessment will be possible when the region
at the east limb rotates into view.
STD: Frequent C-class flaring has been occurring over the last
24 hours, probably from the new region near S07. In addition,
the background x-ray flux has increased more than a full
magnitude over the last 24 hours, again almost certainly a
result of the appearance of this new east-limb region.
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet. Brief unsettled
conditions were observed at some sites between 0600-0900Z.
Energetic electron fluxes were at low to moderate levels.
Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field
should continue at mostly quiet levels.

HF propagation conditions were normal over all regions.
Normal propagation is expected to continue during the next 72
hours, through 01 September inclusive. There is a moderate
probability that daylit paths may experience effects of short
wave fadeouts (SWFs) due to possible solar flaring from the new
region at the east limb. This region has exibited frequent
C-class flaring and has enhanced the background x-ray flux more
than a magnitude over the last 24 hours. It will be watched
closely as it rotates into view and transits the visible disk
over the next two weeks.

* DIGITAL SATELLITE NEWS *
==========================
This year's AMSAT-UK Colloquium yielded some news regarding the status
of several digital Amateur Satellites in various states of limbo.
Richard, G3RWL reported that the file server on LUSAT-OSCAR-19 has still
not been made available possibly due to a power struggle within AMSAT-LU.
The packet mailbox on FUJI-OSCAR-20 is gone forever due to a failed
computer. The analog (Mode JA) transponder is available, however. Two
uplink channels on KITSAT-OSCAR-25 have failed. This causes uplink
contention on the remaining uplinks. ITAMSAT-OSCAR-26 controllers have
not had enough time to fix the problems with IO-26 since it's on-board
computer crashed back in May. And POSAT-OSCAR-28 apparently came and
went, unlikely to ever be seen again.
* AMSAT-OSCAR-10 NEWS *
=======================
Several stations have reported that AO-10's downlink is FMing. Downlink
frequency instability is due to low and varying battery voltages. This
is a dangerous condition, and it is important that all ground stations
curtail transponder operations when the frequency of the downlink becomes
unstable to reduce the drain on AO-10's batteries and to allow them to
recharge.
* STS-68 NEWS *
===============
Launch of Space Shuttle Endeavour was aborted just seconds before liftoff
on 18-Aug-94. The primary payload for this mission is the Space Radar
Laboratory, part of a comprehensive effort under NASA's Mission to Planet
Earth program, to understand how the Earth's environment is changing.

* RS SATELLITE NEWS *
=====================
Andy, RK3KPK, the operator of the RS satellite ground station RS3A reports
that both RS-10 and RS-12 are both in good operating order. Andy reports
there is a lot of RS activity from stations in Germany, England, Italy, and
Switzerland. Activity from the Commonwealth of Independent States is low,
although there are some active stations in the Leningrad region, Siberia,
and Moscow.
The ROBOTs (autotransponders) are functioning well on the satellites.
Andy reminds us of a special channel on RS-10 that operates on an uplink
frequency of 145.850 MHz and downlink of 29.350 MHz. The RS-14/AO-21
CW beacon (145.822 MHz) can sometimes be heard coming through RS-10's
ROBOT, which has a downlink on 29.403 MHz.
No word has been received regarding the launch of RS-15.
At the RS Command Station, RS3A, Andy operates through RS-10 only. The
station consists of a 100-watt uplink transmitter that feeds a groundplane
antenna. The downlink receiver is an R250M2 and contains 20 tubes. It is
also very heavy and weighs about 95 kilograms. A 3 element yagi antenna
is used for receiving RS-10 downlinks at the RS3A Command Station.
QSL cards for ROBOT contacts are available through DF4XW or Andrey Mironov,
ul.V-Voloshinoj, d.11, kv.72, station Perlovskay, 141014, Moscow region,
Russia, C.I.S.

* ENCRYPTION OF METEOSAT HRI TRANSMISSIONS *
============================================
The following information was taken from the EUMETSAT Newsletter, Darmstadt,
Germany.
Starting in 1995, HRI data will be transmitted in encrypted form. Test
transmissions have already been scheduled this year. This service will
continue with the new High Rate Image Transmission (HRIT) to be introduced
with the Meteosat Second Generation, scheduled for launch in the year 2000.
HRIT format will provide considerable enhancements to the information
available from current Meteosat HRI transmissions.
For PDUS users to be able to use encrypted data they will need to obtain
a decryption facility for use within their particular receiving station.
Decryption will require a Meteosat Key Unit (MKU) at a cost of 700 ECU.
The apparent reason for the introduction of data encryption for
meteorological data is its use by commercial enterprises, who do not
contribute to the cost of data collection, but charge customers for the
provided services.
There are no plans to encrypt analogue WEFAX transmissions of Meteosat
data, so reception via SDUS (Secondary Data User Stations will be
unaffected. By the time of the launch of the Meteosat Second Generation
(MSG) satellite in the year 2000, a new and improved integrated digital
data transmission system known as LRIT (Low Rate Image Transmission) will
replace the current analogue WEFAX data formats and MDD. This system will
extend much of the functionality and flexibility which are only available
currently to users of PDUS equipment. Selected sections of the LRIT data
(e.g. MDD) already subject to encryption, will continue to be distributed
on a restricted basis.

* CHINA OSCAR NEWS *
====================
The Tinghua University Amateur Radio Club (TUARC) in Beijing, China
started its long-awaited OSCAR-13 Mode B operation on Tuesday August 23,
1994, signing BY1QH. The satellite ground station consists of a Yaesu
FT-726R tribander (2m/70cm/6m), a Cushcraft AOP-1 system (an A144-20T
146MHz Twist antenna and a 416TB 435 MHz Twist antenna), a Kenpro KR-400RC
azimuth and KR-500 elevation rotors, a Tokyo Hy-Power HL-120U 70cm
amplifier, and a GaAsFET 2m preamp. Uplink power is around 25 watts.
The low uplink power is due to a defective 70-cm power amplifer and a
replacement for it as well as a broken Yaesu MH-1 mobile microphone are
sought. Anyone who can help is asked to contact Rick, BZ1QL at any of
the addresses listed below.
TUARC would like to thank CRSA, the Chinese Radio Sports Association, as
well as Sam N3NFK, Bill KA3HPQ, Jackie KA3HPP, Chris AA2MJ, Allan WA2JVI,
Presley N5VGC, Max G0PBZ, Rick N6NR and all of the people who have been
concerned about TUARC operations.

Yeah--don't do it. I was told by a salesperson that they only sell stuff they
can make a good profit on. My experience and opinion is that if you want
quality, go elsewhere. Your tribander is an expensive piece of equipmet;
don't take chances.
Of course, these are only mere opinions of mine. But I'd spend a few bucks
more--even if I had to wait.

Subject: Santec FM-240
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
I have a borrowed Santec 240 WITHOUT the manual. I've found the "enter"
key and such. My question is, does this rig have transmit "PL" capability
or just receive "tone-squelch" type stuff? The problem is , I need a xcvr
with transmit PL on 103.5 for some repeaters, but, I can't seem to toggle
the PL on here using the "enter" key that lets me select the actual PL freq.
Did I make myself clear here? In a nutshell, does the Santec 240 have a
way to turn the TRANSMIT PL on?
Thanks, and 73 de A.C., W5EZM in Houston
