- There has already been a follow-up with which I concur, so I won't
- repeat it here. Just wanted to add that I happen to have an 830
- and that you want to have the MONITOR button pushed in so that you
- hear the sidetone and the VOX switched off so that you don't transmit.
- Then key down and tune to match the pitch of the received signal to the
- sidetone.
-
- On my dad's TS-850S, one of its several hundred buttons functions to
- assist in zero-beating by allowing you to tune till the received
- signal drops out. This makes the task a little simpler.
-
- Personally, I usually operate CW with the narrow filter kicked in
- so that I'm not far off the other signal to begin with. Then I click
- back the VBT to narrow the passband a bit and re-tune if necessary.
- If I can still hear the other signal, I figure I'm close enough.

- Subject: How useful are DSP units in noisy locations?
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- There has been some discussion recently concerning add-on DSP
- units to process recieve audio, and some complimentary comments on
- their use, particularly for copying cw. I've never heard one of
- these devices in use, and wonder if they are effective at helping
- to cope with the high levels of electrical noise (tv sweep,
- electric motors etc) which I hear on hf in my downtown apartment
- location. Might there be benefits in adding one of these devices
- when my rig already has a 500Hz cw filter? The claims in some of
- the advertising for commercial DSP units sound pretty fanciful to
- me. Can anyone point me towards any good magazine articles or books
- which mention DSP in ham radio - a quick glance through the '93
- ARRL handbook didn't reveal anything very useful. Are there any
- good construction articles out there?

- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- I have been asked by someone without access to internet to post this.
- A recently acquired 2 mtr all mode Icom 290A does not have an internal
- back up memory circuit. Unfortunately we also do not have a schemetic.
- Has anyone installed memory backup ? Apparantly it was always meant to
- have a live 13.8 v line connected. Or can anyone provide the memory
- voltage and the ic pin number where this should be provided (with
- appropriate diodes, of course).

- Cluster Group, WU1F, WA4JQS, WA8MEM, WD8IOU, AA9GR, N9LJX, N9MWB, K0IR,
- OH2BTB and 9V1YC for the following DX information.
-
- 3Y0PI, PETER I ISLAND (Two Reports). Firstly, Ralph, K0IR, who is the
- team leader for the DXpedition, called to inform OPDX that the comments
- reported (by Luis, XE1L) in bulletin OPDX.134 were not correct. Ralph
- stated the team has no plans or policies not to allow any portable
- designator or to delete stations for working the the DXpedition 3 times
- on same band/mode. He also mentioned an official update will be forth-
- coming soon.
- The second report comes from Tony, WA4JQS, who says he has just
- finished crating all the equipment. Bob, N4GCK, will arrive Sunday
- (Nov. 14) to load the crated equipment and truck it to Florida to meet
- an air cargo plane that will fly it to Uruguay. Once the equipment arrives
- in Uruguay, it will be loaded aboard the icebreaker that will take the
- group to Peter I. This cargo will be put aboard with the other 6000
- pounds already shipped and loaded by ON6TT last month in Germany. In
- mid-January, the entire team will fly to Port Stanley in the Falkland
- Islands to board the icebreaker. Permission has now been secured to
- operate /MM while enroute to the island. All the satellite equipment
- has been received and crated, and the group hopes to operate as the
- first-ever satellite operation from Peter I. Due to the time and point
- in this sunspot cycle, conditions on the higher bands are not expected
- to be as good as in past years, but should be excellent on the lower
- bands. They should be able to communicate with some part of the world
- 24 hours a day and they plan to follow the same basic procedures and
- modes of operation that worked well on the South Sandwich expedition.
- Also, Tony sends along his thanks to all who have supported this effort
- so far. The group has spent a lot of time and money assuring the success
- of this venture. Funding is still needed and can be sent to AA6BB/7.
-
- 5A, LIBYA. There was a report from PA-land that a 5A0A was active on
- 7000.5 kHz, Friday afternoon (stateside). This station was only working
- Europe. There is no other information about this station. WFWL.
-
- 9V, SINGAPORE. James, 9V1YC, states he is on 7005-7007 at 1045-1115z
- every day looking for North and South Americans, but with very few
- takers. 9V1ZE has also been reported several times lately on this
- same frequency with a nice signal, the latest was November 12th on 7005
- kHz around 1218z.
-
- A25, BOTSWANA. Arno, OH7XM, will be active until December 5th, as
- A25/OH7XM. He will also be active during the CQ WW CW Contest as a 40
- meter single category, but he will be using Dave's A22MN callsign. QSL
- via OH7XM, Maamonlahdentie 1 B 9, 00200 Helsinki, Finland.
-
- A6, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES. On August 3, 1993, A61AF, a new club station
- was licensed to operate. The members operate from the Dubai Men's College
- of Higher Technology. The members are reported to be quite an enthusiastic
- group and have purchased fine equipment for HF, VHF and satellite
- operations. They were heard last making a few contacts in the CQ WW SSB
- Contest. QSL to: Dubai Mens College, P.O. Box 15825, Dubai, U.A.E.
-
- C2, NAURU. Ron, ZL1AMO, is island popping again. This time he is signing
- C21/ZL1AMO and is active at various times, mostly CW on the lower bands
- and the WARC bands. His length of stay is unknown at this time.
-
- C5, GAMBIA. Gary, C53HG, states he is active on 75 meters once or twice
- a week. He hangs around 3795 kHz at 0500z (He has been heard as late as
- 0700z). If you can not work him there, listen for him on 15 meters
- between 1800-1900z and on 20 meters between 2000-0100z.
-
- C9, MOZAMBIQUE. Todd, N9MWB, reports working C91AJ on AO-13 at about
- 0255z, November 12th. QSL via CT4RM.
-
- EA6, BALEARIC ISLANDS. Tom, N6RA, will be active from here a few days
- before and after the CQ WW CW Contest as EA6/N6RA. But during the contest,
- Tom will be signing ED6XXX as a Single Op/All Band entry. QSL via N6RA.
-
- FS, FRENCH ST. MARTIN. Be looking for FS/W2QM from French St. Martin.
- The North Jersey DX Association will be active from December 1 through
- December 8. They will operate all bands, 160-10 meters, SSB and CW.
- Operators will be W2AGW, W2MJ, W2QM, W2JB, W2FZY, K2AIO, K2GHV, and
- WA2VUN. QSL to W2QM.
-
- N9NS/KH5K CARDS. Mike, N9NS, is happy to report that all N9NS/KH5K QSLs
- that were received have been answered (this includes bureau cards, SWLs,
- etc). He has answered over 14000 QSLs in ten weeks since the cards
- arrived from the printer. Mike mentions it was unfortunate that many
- unexpected delays in designing the card caused a late start on QSLing
- and he wants to thank all those who waited patiently.
-
- OD5ZZ AND OD5RAK CARDS. Dwaine, WA8MEM, states he received a new batch
- of cards from Walid, OD5ZZ, for QSL processing. The first batch of cards
- went into the mail November 8th, and Dwaine hopes to have all the cards
- processed by December 1st. PLEASE do not re-submit cards.
-
- TY, BENIN. TY1PS was heard calling CQ on RTTY, 14083 kHz around 2300z,
- with very few takers. He was also heard on 21085 kHz around 1850z.
-
- VE9, NEW BRUNSWICK. Jim, VE1WH, informed OPDX that as of December 1,
- 1993, New Brunswick amateurs will be able to sign VE9***, and any new
- call issued will automatically have the VE9 prefix.

- At the time of the crash, we didn't really know the full extent of my
- injuries. There was a lot of blood from some severe cuts on my nose,
- and my nose was obviously broken. We didn't know if there was a
- concussion or any neck injury. I was consious and lucid.
-
- So at the time we had no proof that there was a life threatening
- injury. But we certainly had no proof that my injuries were *not*
- life threatening. We did know that I was going to need treatment in
- an emergency room.
-
- So were there any other means to get help beside using the Sheriff's
- frequency? In the parking lot before the ride started, we tested a
- cellular phone, but it was not in range of any cells, so cellular
- was out. After I crashed, we tried several amateur repeaters. It was
- pretty frustrating because we could hear them, but we could not hit
- them. After my friend moved, he tried amateur repeaters again with
- no luck. Then he tried some commercial repeaters, also with no luck.
- Finally, he contacted the Sheriffs on one of their administrative
- channels. At that point, his options were to use the Sheriff's
- frequency or ride out to find a phone. The nearest phone was about 30
- minutes away by bicycle.
-
- My friend was trying to behave as legitimately as he could. He gave his
- callsign. The person he talked to never told him to leave the channel.
-
- On that day back in August, I would not have hesitated to do what he did.
- Now, I'm not so sure.

- Well, it was the FCC official who wrote the affadavit my friend signed.
- In the affadait, my friend acknowledges that it was wrong of him to use
- the Sheriff's frequency and that he was voluntarily giving his radio to
- RACES. The FCC official said that if my friend signed the affidavit,
- then the official would reccomend to Washington that they not proceed
- against my friend. The official reminded my friend that his offense was
- punishable by 1 year in jail and a $100,000 fine. So it is doubtful that
- the FCC will be helping him much.

- My friend presented photographs and doctors' reports to the FCC and
- Sheriffs. There were numerous witnesses when he was trying the amateur
- repeaters, although only two of them are hams.
-
- I hope this information is useful. Does anyone have any comments?

- In the future, if I find myself in a similar situation, I'll do the
- same thing as our good sam friend did...except I'll remember to be
- hysterical, call on the 911 dispatch frequency, and NOT use my
- callsign. Maybe I'll even make it on "Rescue 911" for my heroics.

- Seriously, though, nobody should be persecuted for using whatever

- considers an emergency. If it were me, and the FCC/Sheriff asked me
- to turn over my HT, I'd say "not NO but HELL NO."

- I have an OMNI VI, so the bells and whistles comment doesn't apply (it has
- them), but the receiver comment does. I bought it for the receiver
- quality. When I want to listen to shortwave broadcasts, I'll buy a
- shortwave receiver.
