- ** MROP and GROL exams in Cambridge MA ** Sat. January 8th 1994 **
-
- The MIT Radio Exam Team will conduct exams for the General
- Radiotelephone Operators License and the Marine Radio Operators
- Permit. The exams will be held at 10AM Saturday January 8th
- in MIT Room 1-150 at 77 Mass Ave in Cambridge MA.
-
- A regular schedule of exams is planned for Cambridge MA. on the
- second Saturday of odd numbered months. For more information call
- Nick at 617 253 3776 (9-5).
-
- There is a $35 examination fee. Bring the ** original ** and a

- you want to claim credit for. Also bring 2 forms of picture
- ID, a black pen and a pencil.
-
- Copies of the question pool are available from the Government

- This is probably the best study guide available for the moment.
- A few copies are available for pickup in Cambridge.
-
- The General Radio Telephone Operators License is required to
- service transmitters in the aviation, maritime and international
- radio services. A Maritime Radio Operators Permit is required to
- operate radiotelephone stations aboard large ships and certain
- aviation and coast stations.
-
- At a later date exams will be available for the Commercial Radio
- Telegraph operators licenses and the Global Maritime Distress and
- Safety Systems (GMDSS) licenses. Amateur Extra Class operators may
- be particularly interested in obtaining a commercial telegraph
- license as they will receive credit for the 20 WPM 2nd class code exam.

- SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
- --------------------
-
- Solar activity was low. New Region 7640 (N09E70) produced
- several small C-class flares and numerous lesser fluctuations.
- This region is new from last rotation and appears to be in a
- growth phase. The spots here are not in a standard bipolar
- configuration. Region 7641 (N03E75) also appeared but was
- quiet. This is the return of old Region 7624 which seems to
- have slowly decayed during its invisible hemisphere transit.
- Other regions were stable and quiet. Recent Yohkoh images do
- not show the large coronal hole in the northeast quadrant that
- has been persistent for many rotations. It may become visible
- as those longitudes approach central meridian.
-
- Solar activity forecast: solar activity should continue
- at a generally low level. Region 7640 is capable of producing
- isolated M-class flares. Once the magnetic structure can be
- observed, this forecast may increase. At this time, Region
- 7640 does not appear capable of generating a major flare.
-
- The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels.
- Isolated active conditions were experienced at various sites
- at various times.
-
- Geophysical activity forecast: the field should be
- predominantly unsettled on 21 Dec. Quiet conditions are
- forecast for 22-23 Dec.
-
- Event probabilities 21 dec-23 dec

- HF propagation conditions continued near-normal over the
- middle and low latitudes. High and polar latitudes also
- continued to see slightly below-normal propagation with
- night-sector signal instabilities dominating. Similar
- conditions are expected over the next 72 hours, with gradual
- improvements over the high latitudes possible. SWF activity

- I'm a bit suprised at some of these you mention from Sams. I know there are

- range of a standard (rectangular) waveguide size.

- so that you can hear the signal better....now, just as you are straining to

- is in the kitchen and decides to make some cookies....and, as a result, turns

-
- I do hope these numbers were put in the info sheet as either a mistake
- or a joke (that's explained somewhere else), because they're not even
- remotely close to reality.... Sure, it would be *NICE* to have 300 Meg
- of disk space (boy would it *EVER* be nice!!!), but you can have a minimal
- system (mostly only for system maintenance, e.g., filesystem repair) on a
- single 1.44 Meg floppy, and with 30 Meg of space, you can have a fairly
- decent system.
-
- Here's what I have:
-
- Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
- /dev/hda3 54390 49789 1882 96% /
- /dev/hda6 16694 8153 7707 51% /newsspool
-
- plus a 6.7 Meg swap partition.
-
- The /newsspool partition holds /usr/spool/news/* for a limited news feed,
- and the root partition holds everything else. Yes, space is tight (as
- shown above), but part of that is due to some stuff that I'm working on
- right now that's taking up lots of extra space (normally I have about
- 5--6 Meg free in '/').
-
- In that root partition, I have the basic system including gcc, Taylor UUCP,
- smail, C-News, trn, etc., as well as TeX and METAFONT, X11R5 (not the
- complete distribution---only stuff I use), various PD utils, games, etc....
-
- As for RAM, 8 Meg is certainly a good idea, but I ran on 4 Meg up until
- very recently (including X, btw, though not all the time), and am now
- still only running 6 Meg.
-
- Just wanted to set the record straight.....

- Subject: Help With Noise Source
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- I'm looking for help in tracking down a source of noise. I've had
- pretty good results tracking these things down in the past, but this
- one has me stumped. The noise is really a problem only on 160 meters.
- Since I've been operating 160 only in contests, I haven't taken the
- time to track this down before now. With sunspots disappearing as
- fast as they are, it's finally time to track down the source and get
- rid of it. I've made the following observations:
-
- 1. The noise is 20db over S9 on my S-meter on 160. (I use an inverted-L
- on this band.) The noise level falls off rapidly: around S3 on 80
- and barely noticeable on 15 and 10 meters. I actually only hear the
- noise on 15 and 10 when the band is very quiet (like at night or early
- morning) and the beam is pointed south.
-
- 2. The noise has a VERY regular pattern: approximately 3 seconds on
- and 1 second off. The noise blankers on my TS-940 don't have much
- effect.
-
- 3. The noise is present at all times of the year and at all times of the
- day or night EXCEPT when it is raining or right after it has stopped
- raining.
-
- 4. I've eliminated my house by shutting down all power and listening on
- a battery operated radio -- the noise is still present. Pointing the
- beam to peak the noise on 15 and 10 meters gives me a general direction.
- The noise is so weak up there, it's hard to get any more that about
- 30 degree accuracy, but the nearest house in that direction is about
- 1000 feet away. We have underground utilities in our development.
- The adjacent neighborhood has above ground utilities and is at least
- 0.5 miles away in that direction.
-
- Conclusions I've drawn so far:
-
- 1. The noise source is outside (because of the effect of rain).
- 2. It's not a thermostat or door bell transformer (the regularity of
- the pattern and the independence of season and temperature).
- 3. It's not a power transformer or insulator problem (because of the
- regular pattern).
- 4. Because of the high level on 160 and the drop off at higher frequencies,
- it's not very close but must have a fair amount of power (I think
- this eliminates any outside motion detectors that control lights.)
-
- I'd really appreciate any help on identifying the noise source.
-
- Thanks,
-

- Since 1934 until early seventies hams had a chance
- to contact amateur station with unique call sign - RAEM.
- This one was used by Ernst Krenkel - well known polar
- explorer. His contribution to the development of amateur
- radio in the Soviet Union was a great one and he was the
- President of the Radio Sports Federation of the USSR
- since its foundation in 1959 until he suddenly passed
- away in 1971.
- The SRR (the Union of Radioamateurs of Russia) on
- December 23, 1993 (0-24 UT) holds the Ernst Krenkel
- commemorative QSO Party (he was born this day 90 years
- ago). The object of this QSO Party is to contact on HF
- bands (other than WARC) as much as possible stations
- located above the Arctic Circle (4K2-4K4, UA, OH, SM, LA,
- OX, VE, KL), in Antarctic (any - KC4U, 4K1 etc) and
- special commemorative stations (RAEM, UPOL, R1SRR-R0SRR -
- they will on the air during the QSO Party). No contest-
- type exchange is required in this QSO Party - just send
- usual "RS(T), QTH, NAME". Stations located above the
- Arctic Circle are kindly requested to add to call signs
- or to RS(T) letters AAC (Above Arctic Circle). Only one
- CW and one SSB QSO per band are valid for this QSO Party.
- Each QSO gives 1 point for final score. Logs should
- include time, call, RS(T) - transmitted, RS(T) -
- received. Send them to the SRR (Box 59, Moscow 105122,
- Russia) not later than January 22, 1994. Entries (only
- all band category): multi OP - single TX, single OP, SWL.
- Winners in each DXCC country will recieve the SRR
- diplomas. Stations with world highest results will
- receive commemorative plaques.
