- There is a newsgroup dedicated to cable TV and descramblers. Its been so
- long I cant remember what its called, alt.cable.tv ?? Anyway, you may

- SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
- --------------------
-
- Solar activity was moderate. A new region has appeared
- at east limb, 7618 (N08E73). It was responsible for an M2.0/SF
- flare, with associated Type II at 12/0225Z. The region has
- also produced several C-class flares during the period.
-
- STD: Two Type II sweeps were observed from Region 7618. The
- first, at 12/0225Z had an estimated shock velocity of 1600
- km/sec. The second, at 12/2108Z was estimated at 600 km/sec.
- Flaring within this region has been very frequent and fairly
- impulsive. As one would expect, the region is bright in
- x-rays. Limb proximity is preventing detailed analysis of the
- region. A special insert showing the x-ray emissions observed
- by the Japanese Yohkoh x-ray satellite has been appended to
- this report.
-
- Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
- low to moderate due to Region 7618.
-
- The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for
- the past 24 hours.
-
- Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
- expected to be quiet to unsettled throughout the period.
-
- Event probabilities 13 nov-15 nov
-
- Class M 50/50/50
- Class X 05/05/05
- Proton 05/05/05
- PCAF Green
-
- Geomagnetic activity probabilities 13 nov-15 nov
-
- A. Middle Latitudes
- Active 10/10/10
- Minor Storm 05/05/05
- Major-Severe Storm 05/01/01
-
- B. High Latitudes
- Active 20/20/20
- Minor Storm 10/10/10
- Major-Severe Storm 05/05/05
-
- HF propagation conditions were near-normal over all
- regions. Hiraiso Japan reported a strong short wave fadeout
- (SWF) in conjunction with the M2.0/SF flare between
- approximately 02:22 and 02:46 UTC. Other areas did not
- experience effects as pronounced as Hiraiso. Conditions should
- continue near-normal. There is a high probability for periodic
- short wave fadeouts (SWFs) over the next several days at least.
- Region 7618 appears to be a fairly volatile group at the
- moment. Most of the SWFs should be fairly brief in nature.

- All times associated with x-ray flares (ex. flares which produce
- associated x-ray bursts) refer to the begin, max, and end times of the
- x-rays. Flares which are not associated with x-ray signatures use the
- optical observations to determine the begin, max, and end times.
-
- Acronyms used to identify sweeps and optical phenomena include:
-
- II = Type II Sweep Frequency Event
- III = Type III Sweep
- IV = Type IV Sweep
- V = Type V Sweep
- Continuum = Continuum Radio Event
- Loop = Loop Prominence System,
- Spray = Limb Spray,
- Surge = Bright Limb Surge,
- EPL = Eruptive Prominence on the Limb.

- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- Several people have asked about exam pools of late.
-
- The complete exam pool questions (less the pictures) can be ftp'd
- from world.std.com. For example, the General exam questions are
- /pub/hamradio/arrl/Server-files/pool-general-1.Z and
- pool-general-2.Z. The UNIX "uncompress" command will convert the
- .Z files into readable text.
-
- For Macintosh users there are HyperCard stacks (complete with
- the pictures) for all the FCC tests. Check in the directory
- /pub/hamradio/mac/theory-and-morse. For example, the General
- exam can be found as General_Ham_Test_.hqx.
-
- Anyone got any pointers for DOS/Windows?

- Hi,
-
- I have become the proud owner of a Kenwood TS-820 HF transiever.
- I also have a CMOS Super Keyer II. I need to know how to build
- the circuit that will interface the keyer to the radio. In
- the ARRL Handbook they refer to a QST article from Feb. 1990
- "Cheap and Easy Control Signal Level Converters". I am hoping
- that someone here could either send me the article or describe
- the procedure needed to make they keyer and radio work together.
-
- If you can help I would appreciate it.
-
- Please email me at levin@cosmic.physics.utah.edu
-
- Thanks in advance.

- SUBJECT: OPS - STRIKE TEAMS - Part 2/2
- Our Strike Team is comprised of RACES personnel who have
- taken extra steps to maximize their abilities and skills. What
- extra steps? Fireground safety, public safety radio operation and
- agency orientation are a few of the topics covered in training.
- Personnel must have served in RACES for at least a year, and be
- licensed as Technician or higher for a similar period. They must
- show a willingness and ability to serve as a RACES person before
- serving on the Strike Team. Membership in the Strike Team is by
- no means automatic. It requires a special level of participation,
- and members must have shown that they can meet this demand before
- they are accepted.
- Strike Team members are normally assigned to other RACES
- functions, including operation of stations, EOCs and the
- Communications Center. If you belong to a Strike Team you will
- still be expected to attend the drills, training and activities
- that are part of your normal RACES assignment as well. In the
- process, you will be confident that no matter what may happen,
- you will be called!
- End of extract from an article by Ted Benson, WA6BEJ, Deputy
- RACES Radio Officer/Mobile Operations. published in vol. 1, issue
- 2, TAC ONE, THE OFFICIAL VOICE OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY RACES. Ted's
- article began with the perspective that "we face a new set of
- disasters and emergencies for which we must plan. Forest fires,
- civil disturbances, and downed aircraft are but a few of modern
- challenges RACES must face. With these new challenges come new
- techniques, of which the Strike Team is perhaps the newest of
- these techniques."

-
- I think it is difficult to say that "the 30 days was from when they
- received permission" without having actually read the CC&Rs. It may
- very well be as the original poster states...having erected something
- without permission AND having no action taken against it within
- 30 days of construction...then the permission is, in essense, automatic.
- Again, without the eact wording in the CC&Rs, making such a legal
- determination is difficult. In fact, as I recall, the poster said that
- he had reviewed the situation with his attorney, so I'll presume
- what was posted about the automatic permission after 30 days is
- indeed the case.
