The September issue lists five (5) pages of coming exam sessions. "Autocall" can be obtained ($1) at all the local ham stores and from PO Box 7612, Falls Church, VA 22040-7612 . Its 56 pages include club columns from many area clubs (a newcomer should try out some club(s) ), and about 11 other articles. 73 de Bob w3otc@amsat.org ------------------------------ Date: 21 Oct 94 13:23:21 GMT From: no0t@fns.COM (Paul Sobon) Subject: (none) SUBSCRIBE Paul Sobon no0t@fns.com Fujistu Network Switching Amateur Radio: NO0T Raleigh, NC 27609 (919)-790-2596 ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Oct 1994 00:41:24 GMT From: vancleef@netcom.com (Henry van Cleef) Subject: anyone know anything about hallicrafters In article Mike Lyon writes: > >i recently picked up a old hallicrafters shortwave reciever. i would like >to see if i can get some schematics,information or anything on it. on the >tune dial it says "Skyrider jr." and i can barely make out the model no. >it says model "h" in a white circle and after that it says either one of >these, i can't tell it's a little rusty, but it's either a s-416, >s-116,s-110, s-410. it's about a foot long and about 9 inches tall and >about 9 inches wide. and also does hallicrafters still exist? if it does >could anyone give me the any information on how to contact them. > "Skyrider Jr." was only used on model S-41.

You are right - "amateur radio transmissions only legal if they're 2-way w/ other hams..." The only real exceptions to the rule are: - Tossing your call out on HF or a repeater to establish a contact - Performing a QST - broadcast to all hams, which is normally not done, and would be considered bad operating practice. -- Scott Ehrlich, Amateur Radio Callsign: wy1z wy1z@wg1i.ma [AX.25 Packet] E-mail addresses: wy1z@neu.edu [Internet], wy1z@wa1phy.ampr.org [TCP/IP Packet] Boston ARC ftp archives: ftp oak.oakland.edu /pub/hamradio Boston ARC Web page: http://www.acs.oakland.edu/barc.html ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Oct 1994 15:52:18 GMT From: dale.piedfort@pcappbbs.com (Dale Piedfort) Subject: Is this legal? that would be considered BROADCASTING, and would most certianly be illegal. ------------------------------ Date: 21 Oct 94 12:22:40 GMT From: je1cka@dumpty.nal.go.JP (Takao KUMAGAI) Subject: Japan International DX PH contest Hi all I expect to have many not-so-serious contesters for the JIDX PH contests.

In Southern California a simple phone call to Southern Calif. Edison will usually result in the problem being taken care of in less than a week. That is unless you live in a City such as Anaheim which owns its own Utilities, and they wont recoginize they have a responsibility to keep the lines, insulators and transformers clean and not inhibit your listening pleasure... I have had occasion to confront them several times about the interference, when I got no results I contacted the PUC and informed them of the problem and then informed the City of Anaheim that I would be making my payments directly to the PUC until the matter was resolved, and that would be followed with a letter of complaint to the local FCC Field Office stating that they are causing interference to a duly licensed Amatuer Station and had taken no steps to correct the problem. It then took less than a week to get the offending street lights fixed and a transformer replaced.. On the other side of the coin we operate an HF station at work, and power is supplied by S. C. E. and when power line noise interferes, a simple phone call to them and a team is usually out in less than two days and the problem corrected in less than a week. I found this true in Washington State also.. So if you are not getting satisfaction from your local power company, send a letter to the PUC in your area, followed up by a letter to your local FCC field office. I think you will be suprised, the same approach works with the Phone companies here, a quick call and outline the problem and they will suppress right up to where the wires enter your house, dont give up and pretty soon you should be as noise free as they can make the lines. 73 ARS KB7UB ------------------------------ Date: 21 Oct 94 12:08:15 GMT From: klimas%uhavax.dnet@ipgate.hartford.EDU Subject: SCHEMATIC DRAWING SOFTWARE George Hawkins KI5X wrote: >Hello everybody!

If a windshear is detected I believe a warning is automatically transmitted to nearby aircraft, correct? Is it possible for an HT to confuse the radar and trigger the system?
