Thanks. : Pete Goodmann, NI9N I ordered a copy for my wife (N0TOB) who is still a nocode. She decided she liked it so much that she bought 3 more copies, one went to the club school... Her complaint with the normal code tapes is that you do not learn the characters in alphabetic order, this tape does teach them that way. She still has not upgraded yet but knows most of the numbers and characters while only listening in the car on the 2+ miles to work. 73 -- KG0IL Joel ------------------------------ Date: 27 May 1994 12:04:40 -0700 From: btree.brooktree.com!usenet@network.ucsd.edu Subject: Ham Radio few problem To: info-hams@ucsd.edu In article , Roger Buffington wrote: >A fair interpretation of my remarks.

Several of us in San Diego are also writing letters, petitioning, jamming, etc. to shut down closed repeaters in the amateur service. We should probably get more organized. I said it before, but the FCC is willing to consider a "close repeater ban". There there are several commissioners (I know one personally) that are sympathetic to our cause. They say the request (RFR) must come from the amateur community or politically they can not act. I have not been active on lobbying the ARRL... attacking the coordinating bodies might be a new angle on this... PS. My wife is a communications lawyer... What school are you going to?

The new index file is named 0-Index2.txt, and is in the format of: /directory_path/name_of_file, file description which is great if you want to perform a grep of a particular program. The result will be an instant directory path to retrieve the file from. The other index file isn't going anywhere. It's format is still: /directory_path: names of files Brief description of file The final index file, which is more confusing, but will continue to exist, is the vanilla recursive subdirectory listing, ls-lR.
