KE6GXD, eventually to be found on 40 meter CW. Reply to davev@atkc.com ------------------------------------------ I passed my Tech license exams in February, but am still waiting for my ticket. I bought an ICOM IC 720 A through a posting in rec.radio.swap, completely sight unseen of course. I had never even seen a 720A before. I picked the rig based on what small amount I could afford and old ARRL information on harmonics suppression. Choosing a rig by TVI. It arrived at the office on Firday. Like a kid, I was opening it up at the main reception lobby where it was delivered. It was much smaller than I imagined it would be. One of the vice presidents of the company walked in. "What is this," she asked, and wanted to know if the company was being billed for it. I expained what it was, and then she told me to clean up the mess. Friday afternoon at the office drifted on by blissfully, with visions of code practice from something other than Super Morse and other random QSO generation programs, then came the BUSINESS DINNER FROM HELL!!! Till 11:30 at night. No time to unpack my new toy then. Saturday morning, bright and early, five hours sleep or not, I was raring to go. I had the rig, but no power supply and no antenna. After going through the electronics junk drawer and after a trip to Radio Shack and to Albertson's for a gallon of milk for the baby, I had a 12 volt 2 amp supply and a simple long wire antenna tucked under the balcony of my first story apartment. When I fired the rig up, I got nothing but static and the faintest cracklings of one station around 15.2 MHZ in Spanish. Not even WWV! I knew the location had a power lines about 60 feet away, but it couldn't be that bad. What seemed worse, every time I changed bands, the rig made four clacking noises like it was going to pop. "Oh my gosh, " I said to my self. "I've been suckered. $400 down the drain, and there is nothing I can do." Somebody I've never met hundreds of miles away has cashed the check, and I am left with nothing. I got ahold of Bob, who I know through my church and who is a general class operator. He said his wife had some "Honey Do" tasks for him that would take a couple of hours, but later he'd call me back and we'd try the rig on his power supply and his antenna. Hours passed, very very slowly. It was about 7:30 at night. He called and gave me directions to his house. I quickly put the rig in a small suitcase, packed the mike, the photocopy of the manual that came with, and my improvised power supply in a bag, and I went on over to his place. He put the rig on his emergency power supply, a 12 volt marine battery he has on a solar trickle charger, plugged it into his inverted V up about 40 feet. It sounded fine on WWV 15 MHZ, and then we managed to get the rig tuned to 40 meter SSB, around 7.18. Bob, no longer just Brother Ruizak but now N6BNN, took the frail looking desk mike that came with the rig in his hands. The first QSO we heard, the operator didn't let the key up for about fifteen minutes, but finally he got a chance to break. Bob gave his QTH as Costa Mesa, California. The operator on the other end said he was in Arizona, and that the rig sounded fine. He even said that we were 5 by 9, and that he had a 720 A and that the horrible noise it made when I changed bands was normal. "It worked" "It worked." What a relief. Then Bob passed the mike to me, and I was actually talking to another state on the radio. My first time transmitting on amateur radio! I was completely eccstatic, in bliss. Then a friend of Bob's heard us and broke in. "He's a sheep rancher in Mexico, about 1,200 miles away" Bob said to me before keying up, and then after answering the break he handed the microphone to my slightly trembling hands. I thanked him for the chance to talk, and asked him how it sounded. He said my voice sounded a little weak, like I didn't quite know how to best use that mike. Of course not, I'd never used it before. Then another breaker came in. His QTH was Alabama. 2,000 miles. Incredible! It was getting late, and his family called. He tried to transmit once on my improvised power supply. The meter went dim. Not enough juice to transmit. Well, at least I can't be tempted to transmit before my license arrives. As I carefully pack up my rig back in the suitcase I had so casually put it in before, Bob said that he thinks he has a straight key and an antenna matcher he will let me have for cheap and that he'll stop on by and see what kind of antenna would work best at my place. I thank him repeatedly and bid him good night. At home, I still can't receive anything and I still don't have my license, but at least I know why and I know I've even talked DX on my own rig now. ------------------------------ Date: 17 May 94 17:21:37 EDT From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!usc!howland.reston.ans.net!gatech!newsxfer.itd.umich.edu!jobone!lynx.unm.edu!pacs.sunbelt.net!DDEPEW%CHM.TEC.SC.US@network.ucsd.edu Subject: HAM RADIO RUDENESS To: info-hams@ucsd.edu In article , rogjd@netcom.com (Roger Buffington) writes: >blood@austin.ibm.com wrote: > >: Ive decided to quit saving for a HF rig after following this discussion. > >Don't feel that way.

During a repeater war between two repeaters about 75 miles apart which insisted on using the same pair, with one upside down, the winning side accomplished it by sneaking to the other town and putting a small battery powered white noise generator near the site. The resulting noise desensed the receiver so much the repeater was unuseable unless you were close enough to hit it with a snowball. None of the victims thought to use a non-FM receiver for tracking possible QRM and thought the problem was inside their hardware. Do the same to this turkey. Render it impossible for him to hear without even setting foot on his property. He'll soon tire of talking to himself. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.5 iQCVAgUBLdlSM8mzkeX3rfUNAQGNDwQAqen//phIXUDVbLdytB90gJlQEZPEYcsG NszqJ0TivQjW7DC+x+sNr8aoH91b1fWITQZg/F7jbHsGTjFwyy1ulWxrNXYcJ18D DC29iMfAYL7xumedXQzxYbVrtv7XgBIGZvHvtlNQyan+thTc0s7yLOdHWwIHlgcK gjrHGDuDSkU= =1ZAG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Jim Grubs, W8GRT Voxbox Enterprises THIS SPACE FOR RENT | | jgrubs@voxbox.norden1.com 6817 Maplewood Ave. RATES REASONABLE | | Fido: 1:234/1.0 Sylvania, Ohio 43560 Home: 419/882-2697 | | AMATEUR RADIO - The National Park of the Mind | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------ Date: 17 May 1994 21:44:25 GMT From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!swrinde!cs.utexas.edu!convex!news.duke.edu!news-feed-1.peachnet.edu!apollo1.cacd.rockwell.com!newsrelay.iastate.edu!news.iastate.edu!wjturner@network.ucsd.edu To: info-hams@ucsd.edu References <940516145034@emerald.nist.gov>, , <940516161823@emerald.nist.gov>ne Subject : Re: HTX-202 problem In article <940516161823@emerald.nist.gov>, proctor@news-reader.nist.gov (James Proctor) writes: |> No, I'm not talking about missing the first 3/4 second of a qso.
