Jim, chill out. Have you heard of the legal concept of "reasonable
expectation of privacy"? If not, it says that one's privacy may be protected
(e.g., against eavesdropping without a warrant) ONLY when the circumstances
are such that the speaker had a reasonable expectation of privacy in the
first place. For example, if you discuss a drug deal in the middle of Grand
Central Station and somebody overhears your conversation, he is entirely
within his rights to report the conversation to the police.
It is only the public's ignorance of the nature of radio communications that
allowed the ECPA to come into being. Common sense should tell you that
unencrypted radio communications have no greater "reasonable expectation of
privacy" than a conversation in the middle of Grand Central Station. Less,
in fact, since at least in the latter situation you can look around to see
if anybody is nearby.

Ken--Just a comment on your netnote. I would like to go on record
that I REALLY appreciate what you've done for the ham radio
community with your brilliant contest logging program. And I also
appreciate your apparently generous spirit in making the program
available vice $29.95 here, $19.95 there, etc. Your product could
clearly be sold!
It seems we're all terribly "busy," but you can at least look upon
your program with pride knowing you've made DX contesting a more
pleasant experience for several thousand of us. I'll be using it
at N6ND's during CQWW CW this coming weekend.

I thought I saw this posted recently, but many are asking, so here goes....
in the book, _BIGGER SECRETS_, William Poundstone reveals:
Dave Ingram, columnist for CQ magazine, has spoken with a ham in
French Polynesia, callsign: FO8GJ - callbook: Martin Brandeaux.
This may be Marlon's real name, or a French adaptation of his stage name,
in deference to where he resides. Brando lives on Tetiaroa; he bought
the island from a British heiress in 1966.
Beam Heading: 241 from the East Coast;
about 209 from the West Coast.
mailing address: c/o Radio Club of Tahiti, BP 5006 Pirae, Tahiti, French
Polynesia. Poundstone reports that a polite inquiry sent to this address
"brought no reply."
.....that's all I know.

Hmm ...
The callsign server says the following ... N2JGW (me) was
issued on April 25, 1989. N2JGQ was issued on August 1, 1989.
Q comes *BEFORE* W (explain this one?) and, furthermore, I am quite
certain that there are more than five callsigns issued between August
and April, in 2-land.
Just a curiosity...no nastygrams, please.

Perhaps N2JGQ filed a change of address or upgraded in July and the FCC
sent him a new license with the updated info.

subj: Pointer to archives re: NiCd zapping?
SOMEWHERE about a year ago SOMEBODY put together a real nice compendium of
stuff about recharging, zapping old, etc., NiCad batteries/cells. Trouble
is, I can't find it. Bob Parnass (?) recently tacked on a short bibliography
to a Bearcat 800XLT article, but the items I could track down didn't cover
the part I was most interested in recalling, namely, the zapping of weak cells.
Can someone, perhaps the author, point me to the right volume/issue of the
archives, or even e-mail me? I don't know if it's worth reposting if we can
just FIND the d*mn thing!
Thanks,
Ted

Subject: Talking Out your Ears
[ 27 megahertz ] (bug? where are you?)
DAK (Drew Kaplan, "The Guy with the Neatest Job in the Whole World")
Industries has reduced the price of the all-in-the-ear 49mhz FM
communicators. It's now under $40.00.
I wish I had the money to experiment with it. I'm hoping that this
posting might inspire someone to try? It's an FM intercom, which
says that the VOX unit would be appropriate for hookup to an HT, and
I'm sure that impedance matching the microphone and the earphone isn't
too hard.
I'm not sure of the audio quality of this in-the-ear microphone thing.
(Have seen some rec.ham-radio comments about it, a long time ago).
Doesn't seem like it'd sound too good when you "talked out your ear".
