- I have a bad photocopy here made to reduce wear on a worn copy - copyright
- 1972. Even looking at the book today, it appears that it would serve nicely.
- However, we got a light weight "Understanding Basic Electronics" today
- (not that it isn't needed but there's a place for the serious technical
- book on general electronics).
-
- was only $2 in 1972. probably could use some updating for new stuff. I'd
- probably buy a copy if it isn't filled with lots of fluffy sidebars and cutesy
- cartoons and art (a distraction in UBE in my opinion).
-
- i would also think a return to book sized books instead of the 8x11 floppy
- books might help some...the big books are a bit too floppy.

- We have a NIR-10 at work's club station, and I'm not overly impressed! I
- personally wouldn't pay the $300+ for this unit. The NIR-10 is okay for CW and
- badnpass applications, but the "white noise" reduction leaves a lot to be
- desired.

- I don't want to bore everyone by taking my turn at Gary-bashing, but I
- can't resist. I am brand new to amateur radio. So new, in fact, that
- I just passed elements 1A, 2, and 3A on Nov 6 (did I say that right,
- Gary? Forgive me if I'm not as smart as you.) So there have been many
- times I've wanted to say exactly what Doug said:
- What do I do now? or
- Any help?
-
- BTW, I'm 30 yrs old and have a BS and an MS in mechanical engineering,
- so I don't feel like I'm an idiot. But amateur radio is a very diverse
- hobby and can be as technically challenging as your interests and
- capabilites will allow. I've easily got a hundred questions to ask
- someone. And each answer is food for thought and spawns 2 more
- questions. For the inexperienced amateur, there is no such
- thing as a stupid question, yet Gary (or people like him) can certainly
- give a different impression. I wanted to become a ham more than
- twenty years ago, but I didn't know a single person to turn to for help.
- At the time, I had no idea there were Elmers out there to help (or even
- what one was, for that matter). But I can assure you of one thing, if
- the first ham I ran into was a Gary, I wouldn't be waiting for ticket
- now.
-
- Hope to work you soon... 10-12 weeks, they tell me :-(

- SB SAREX @ AMSAT $STS-58.025
- SAREX Keps & Update: 10/28
-
- Thursday 10/28/93 @ 08:00 UTC
-
- The last school group contact was completed yesterday. The Portsmouth HS
- in Portsmouth, New Hampshire had a telebridge contact using stations in
- California (Ralph Warner, N6MNN) and Texas (Bob Douglas, W5GEL). The
- students asked 5 questions during this bridge contact.
-
- Hams across the U.S. and around the world continue to work the Shuttle
- Columbia on both voice and packet. Moreover, the completion of school
- group contacts has cleared several school backup passes for possible
- general QSO opportunities. While the SAREX Working Group cannot fully
- guarantee availability, there is a high probability that the STS-58 crew
- will be ready to take general call. on these
- passes. Two of these "scheduled" passes remain. These include orbit
- 178 at MET 11 days 1 hour 42 minutes (10/29 at 16:35 UTC) and orbit 192
- at MET 11 days 22 hours and 29 minutes (10/30 at 13:22 UTC). Please note
- that the astronauts operated voice during yesterday's "scheduled" pass
- which occurred on 10/27 at 14:59 UTC (Orbit 145). Also note that hams on
- the ground heard or worked the Shuttle Columbia crew on several other orbits
- yesterday.
-
- Element set GSFC-031, generated by Ron Parise, WA4SIR, is the official SAREX
- set for today. Please note that there is only a six second difference
- between element set GSFC-025 (released two days ago) and element set GSFC-
- 031.

- SB SAREX @ AMSAT $STS-58.025
- SAREX Keps & Update: 10/28
-
- Thursday 10/28/93 @ 08:00 UTC
-
- The last school group contact was completed yesterday. The Portsmouth HS
- in Portsmouth, New Hampshire had a telebridge contact using stations in
- California (Ralph Warner, N6MNN) and Texas (Bob Douglas, W5GEL). The
- students asked 5 questions during this bridge contact.
-
- Hams across the U.S. and around the world continue to work the Shuttle
- Columbia on both voice and packet. Moreover, the completion of school
- group contacts has cleared several school backup passes for possible
- general QSO opportunities. While the SAREX Working Group cannot fully
- guarantee availability, there is a high probability that the STS-58 crew
- will be ready to take general calls over the continental U.S. on these
- passes. Two of these "scheduled" passes remain. These include orbit
- 178 at MET 11 days 1 hour 42 minutes (10/29 at 16:35 UTC) and orbit 192
- at MET 11 days 22 hours and 29 minutes (10/30 at 13:22 UTC). Please note
- that the astronauts operated voice during yesterday's "scheduled" pass
- which occurred on 10/27 at 14:59 UTC (Orbit 145). Also note that hams on
-
- the ground heard or worked the Shuttle Columbia crew on several other orbits
- yesterday.
-
- Element set GSFC-031, generated by Ron Parise, WA4SIR, is the official SAREX
- set for today. Please note that there is only a six second difference
- between element set GSFC-025 (released two days ago) and element set GSFC-
- 031.
