Usually the one at Lincoln High School is a dog but this year it was an
excellent turn out though the choice of equipment was very limited. I
haven't been to the Hall of Science in years so couldn't tell you about
it of recent vintage. Saturday in Teaneck at FDU I believe there will
be a excellent Hamfest (October 8th) which if you really like hamfest
you shouldn't miss.

I've never ordered from Tucker, but I did write for a quote on some manuals
I needed. I got a reply less than a week after I wrote, listing availability
and prices. Their catalogs are very informative and I would recommend them
to anyone who needed stuff *immediately* and hang the price!
Unfortunately, their prices are too high for my budget on instruments, though
I'd like to give them a book order someday. Alas, I'll still get my
equipment at the fests the "old fashioned way". Pity.

I still have, and use, a Heathkit V7A constructed from a kit in 1956. Some
years ago, I replaced the internal ohmmeter battery (a "C"-cell) with two,
series-connected, silicon diodes providing a constant-voltage source of
1.7 volts for the internal ohmmeter supply. Also replaced the pilot light
with an LED.
It has 1 megohm input resistance with an additional 10M in the probe. The
10M probe resistor is switched out for a-c and resistance measurements.
Calibration is relatively simple. Usually there will be two pots; one for
DC-volts and the other for AC-volts. As I recall, there was no special
calibration for the resistance ranges. (Considering the logarithmic "ohms"
scale, calibration really isn't all that important.
As you prepare to calibrate, turn the VTVM on for 24 hours, then do the
calibration. Especially if you replace the tube(s), allow the unit to age
(power on) for 24-48 hours before calibrating.
Your "standards" for calibrating sound fine. An alternative might be
comparison with a "known" meter; perhaps a digital known to be accurate.
It's a neat instrument. Not 1990s technology, but certainly useable
within its constraints.

It means that you will get a Novice class license instead, if I am

I means that you'll get a Novice call.

Patrick - contact your local Amateur Radio Club! There's a wealth of
information there for you.
If you cannot locate a local group, look around your neighborhood for a
house with plenty of antennas on it! During daylight hours, go up to the
door and ask the resident if she/he is an Amateur radio Operator! Bet
you you'll find a lot of information on what's happening locally!
The ARRL has a new Amateur packet of info waiting for you - contact them
at 1-800-32-NEW-HAM. Call the NARA, too, for a free package: 1-800-
468-2426.

Subject: Yaesu FT530 power plug
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Regarding the Yaesu FT-530 HT:
I have not been able to find a match to the coaxial power connector on
the top of this radio. My Radio Shack either doesn't stock it or was out
of stock. If anyone knows where this plug can be obtained at *reasonable*
cost please let me know
Thanks Tim KF8XW Akron, Ohio
