My impression was that there were two separate but related proposals.

One program would have turned club signs over to one or more
administrators.  That program is on hold.

The other program, which requires new computers and procedures at the FCC,
would allow operator-requested callsigns.  I'm not sure of the status of
that proposal (I think it's still in the debate stage).

                 Alpha Bravo alphabets

Here is a collection of alphabets of the Alpha Bravo Charlie
Delta kind, variously known as radio alphabets, phonetic
alphabets and spelling alphabets. There are a number of
distinct ones for English, and also alphabets for:

     French, German, Dutch, Flemish, Italian, Rumantsch,
     Swedish, Finnish and Russian.

This posting supersedes the one of 25th September.

My thanks to the many contributors, not all of whom are

Actually, has anyone tried "meteor scatter" using the Shuttle's re-entry
trail? The ionization level wouldn't be as great as with something that
was actually burning up, but you'd know exactly where to point your beam
to get to it.

I have not seen this list before, and think it represents a very valuable

Are the prices quoted the ACTUAL TRANSACTION PRICE, or the asking price??

Maybe this individual belongs the same group of "Freedom Fighters" in So.
Cal. that are being investigated for their large purchases of 9mm Ammo
and Weapons through out the Midwest at gun shows. (This came from  a
"corrupt criminal cop" friend of mine here in the midwest.)

Subject: Is the band dead -- or nobody on?
To: [e-mail]

By operating from both Hawaii and the East Coast at the
top and bottom of the Sunspot cycles, I've come up with the
following conclusions:

Yes, propagation can be quite spotty--hundreds of stations
can be on in a contest and I'll just hear two or three stations
in a large area (such as New England).  I assume from the contest
results and operating during other contests that the hundreds
of other stations were actually on.

Surprisingly, sometimes I'd even work those stations with my
my 2 watts!  This is more apparent at the bottom of the cycle.

The explanation is that these stations have very high antennas,
which produce good signals at low radiation angles.  Alternately,
you could be appropriately situated on a hill with a favorable
ground slope (such as Mt Greylock in Western Mass.)  Simple
antennas in a good location often outperform big antennas in
a poor spot.  An extra 10 dB of gain isn't enough to overcome
a 40 dB null....

Also, the path just might depend on something that is highly localized.
For instance, E-skip is known to involve small patches or clouds.
If the path is a result of several of these lining up just right,
it isn't surprising to me that only a few stations are heard
at one time.

I've worked quite a bit of them on 10 and 15 meters.  Relatively
few have 20 meter priveleges.  Also, I've noted people tend to
compare numbers that mean different things.  For instance, I
believe the numbers for Dayton represent the number of attendees.
However, the numbers for Japan's equivalent is a summed attendence
over several days.  Last I heard, Japan still has lifetime ham
licenses, which might tend to inflate the total compared to the
US numbers.  One of the biggest groups of amateur dropouts
seems to be University professors--they once had their license
but didn't have the time for amateur radio.

Not always.  The most fun I had on 10 meters was at the bottom of
the sunspot cycle, where my 2 watts *really* stood out when the
band opened.  At the top of the cycle, my signal got lost and I could
no longer call CQ have a little pileup of VKs or JAs wanting to work
a Hawaiian station.  Of course, I don't recall ever operating when the
solar flux was below 60..... but there were real nice openings with
it in the low 70s.

It's perhaps not as clear as it should be, but what it means is
that the combination of transmatch and the feedline, treated as a
transmission line transformer, can match the antenna to the
transmitter, and that you can introduce reactances at the transmatch
end that will be transformed, Smith Chart fashion, by the feedline
to a reactance at the antenna feedpoint that can tune the antenna
to resonance by center loading.

That's called a conjugate matching system. What it shouldn't
imply is that you can reduce SWR on the transmission line. In
fact, to act as a transmission line transformer, there must be
SWR on the line. SWR is your friend in this system. Obviously,
low loss transmission lines are preferred. This type of operation
is common with open wire feeders, the common 105 foot flattop
doublet is an example of this, as are the various flavors of
"Zepp" antenna. What may not be so obvious to some is that
coax fed antennas can be treated the same way if coax line loss
is low at the frequencies of operation.

Subject: Problems with Kenwood TM-742A
To: [e-mail]

 I purchased a Kenwood TM-742A a couple weeks ago.  I have noticed some
quirks with the unit and would like to hear from other 742A owners about their
experiences with this rig.  Here are my experiences:

 ==> Initially, I had the 6M band unit installed as the third band.  After the
first 3 hours of use, I went into DTSS mode on the 440 band.  The unit froze
up and appeared to turn itself off.  I pushed the power button, went into the
440 band, and pushed DTSS again; same thing happened.  I had no problems
getting this to work on the 2M band.  After repeating this 7-10 times the unit
finally got into a mode where it would turn on (show "-on-" on the display)
and then turn back off rather than display the three bands.  I took the unit
back to the store that I purchased it from and swapped it for a new radio.  I
installed the same 6M band unit an had the same problems.  After removing the
6M unit DTSS worked fine on both bands, so I'm returning the 6M unit to
Kenwood.

 ==> I'm usually scanning on both bands when mobile.  I have noticed that the
unit will beep and stop scanning on the 2M side, seemingly at random.  Even if
I have set the control mode to the 440 side, the 2M side is always the side
that will stop scanning.  Most puzzling.

 ==> I have had problems with certain squelch modes.  I started by using the
"default" squelch mode (not Microprocessor or S-Meter control) and had
problems with the squelch suddenly breaking.  I would end up turning the
squelch all the way up, yet the squelch would still be broken!  *BUT* if I
turned the radio off and then back on I would have to turn the squelch all the
way back down to its previous position to find the threshold.  I have
experienced this problem several times.  I started using S-meter squelch and
have had no problems.  Yesterday, I enabled Microprocessor squelch control.  I
found that I had to keep resetting the squelch control a lot so far.  I'll
probably go back to S-meter squelch eventually.

  Those are the major gripes (so far).  Anyone know of a mod to speed up the
scan rate?  2 ch/sec is too darn slow!

SB SAREX @ AMSAT $STS-58.031
SAREX Keps & Update 10/30

Saturday 10/30/93 @ 00:00 UTC

Since all scheduled SAREX activities are now complete, several general
QSO opportunities are available.  While the SAREX Working Group cannot
fully guarantee that the crew will be operating, there is a high
probability that the STS-58 astronauts will be ready to take general calls
over the continental U.S. on these passes. These opportunities include a
pass on orbit 192 at MET 11 days 22 hours and 29 minutes (10/30 at 13:22 UTC)
and a pass on orbit 193 at MET 12 days 0 hours 6 minutes (10/30 at 14:49 UTC).
Please note that many hams on the ground heard or worked the Shuttle Columbia
crew on several orbits today.  Both voice and packet modes were operating.

Element set GSFC-031, generated by Ron Parise, WA4SIR, will continue to be
the official SAREX element set for today.  On orbit 181 Gil Carman, WA5NOM,
of the Johnson Space Center compared the orbiter state vector to GSFC-031.
The state vector was 6 seconds later than this element set.  Other later
element sets (e.g. GSFC-038) are currently less accurate than GSFC-031.

Well Dave, environmentalists tell us that when a foreign animal species
is introduced to a region, the native species might not be equipped
to compete with the new species; extinction could possibly occure.
So, we have no choice but to NOT export our Birds - it would be an
irresponsible act to do otherwise. Sorry.

My best guess:  These are military surplus in new condition. As part
of low price you have to abide by a blanket covenant prohibiting export.
