- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- various people have chimed in:
-
- Maybe I am totally off base, but I run almost exclusively 75-M mobile.
- That means noise levels, atmospheric static crashes, and odd
- propogation that require one to be alert and careful.
-
- Knowing NONE of the circumstances, nor operating habits of the
- original poster, I can, however, impute some behaviors from what I
- hear on the bands...
-
- During an attempted contact, with conditions below Q-5 copy, I
- consistently hear a station give her/his callsign once phonetically
- and once just plain letters and "over."
-
- How in the hell, in marginal conditions, is it reasonable to expect
- the other operator to put your call out from amongst the crud?
-
- It is not.
-
- Try instead, giving your call SEVERAL times, using standard and common
- phonetics -- avoid the cutsey stuff *IF* you want the other station to
- hear your callsign and copy it correctly.
-
- In the case of the original poster, whose callsign was N3JLG (I think)
- try:
- NOVEMBER(pause)THREE(pause)JULIET LIMA GOLF(pause)
- NOVEMBER(pause)THREE(pause)JAPAN LONDON GERMANY(pause)
- NOVEMBER(pause)THREE(pause)JULIET LIMA GOLF(pause)OVER
-
- Also, try other clues...like "from Pennsylvania, this is..."
- and let your location, assuming you are still near your "home" call
- district, help you out.
-
- Rather than make the other station reach for you, assess the
- conditions (by listening a lot more than you xmit) and try to gauge
- how much phonetics and repeating the other chap will need.
-
- When I worked Hawaii and Alaska on 75M mobile (100 watts into a tuned
- vertical on the car) I got 5x5 signal reports...NOT because I was
- loud, but because the conditions were rough and I made sure even a
- hearing impaired person could copy my call through all the clutter on
- the band.
-
- Then again, I probably don't have a clue about what I am saying and
- I've been doing it all wrong all these years! ;^)

- Centre de Gestion des Radiocommunications
- Service des Radio-Amateurs
- BP 61
- 94371 SUCY EN BRIE CEDEX

-
- One suggestion: crank the speed way up, to say, around 22 wpm. The idea is
- to make it such that the bits are flying so fast, that you can't possibly
- count them, and you hear the "melody" of the entire character. Make up a
- tape with five character number blocks, and have at it.

- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- Hi everyone,
- I'm ready to get a HT after getting my ticket and enough cash.
- I've been looking some 2m HTs and kind of like Kenwood TH-28 and
- Icom P2AT. I don't know how they perform though.
- So, I would like to know which one is better or any good or bad
- experience with them. How about the extended receive mod on P2AT?
- How sensitive is it? Oh, I'm planning to use around San Francisco
- bay area.
- I would really appreciate any responses (post or e-mail).
-
- Merry Christmas to all,
- thanks,
-
- winston.

- Not that bad -- rumor has it that you lost VP last year by <5 votes.
- Perry's only 32, and he's prez. But to tell the truth, I think that
- threatening the establishment is exactly what LARC (and most clubs, to
- tell the truth) need. Ham radio is in a rut. And from what I've heard
- from others, LARC is actually one of the better clubs around. Makes me
- wonder what the bad ones are like.
-
- OK, how about you & me & Richard (and anyone else you can think of) get
- together at a BBQ joint and talk about what can be done. I've been
- hinting for a long time that LARC needs come competition -- I'm done
- with just dropping hints. You're not the only one disenchanted -- how
- many times have I been to a meeting this year? There are others.
