This, in comments opposing the commission generated proposal to grant immediate on the air privileges to amateur examinees before a license is issued by the Commission. The League says that it stands by its previous statement in opposition to a petition for rule making that resulted in the FCC's proposal, in PR Docket 93-267. At that time, the ARRL said in response to a petition by the Western Carolina Amateur Radio Society VEC that such a system was both unlawful and a would be detrimental to enforcement. The League said that the FCC had, as recently as 1987, denied such a concept and that the absence of an up to date database of such temporary call signs would make both self regulation by amateurs themselves and rules enforcement by the Commission more difficult. The League now says that suggestions in the NPRM that precedents for such a plan exist in other services are incorrect and has reiterated its opinion that such a plan is inconsistent with the international radio regulations. Instead, the ARRL has emphasized that electronic filing of applications with the FCC would accomplish the same goal. This, of reducing the wait to get on the air, while maintaining total FCC oversight of licensing. As we've reported, AMSAT North America is in full agreement with the ARRL but the rival National Amateur Radio Association, many VEC's and several prominent radio clubs have gone on the record of favoring an instant licensing plan. NARA and a number of radio clubs say that in lieu of self assigned call signs, each VEC should have a previously assigned block of calls that it can issue on the spot. Most of those in favor of instant licensing are however demanding that the FCC include better safeguards against bootlegging than are in the original commission proposal. The reply comment cutoff date for this proposal is February 10th. Look for a decision on this one fairly early. ***** ARRL BOARD MEETING HELD RECENTLY A frigid Hartford, Connecticut was the scene for this years first annual meeting of 1994 for the ARRL's Board of Directors. The temperature was below freezing outside, but not so in the meeting hall itself. Board members spent their meeting covering a variety of topics affecting amateur radio. A League committee will look into the possibility of offering group legal defense insurance to league members involved in lawsuits over antennas and rfi. The league wants to loosen some of the rules governing spread spectrum techniques. In fact the ARRL says it will file a petition for rulemaking seeking to remove overly restrictive rules concerning the use of spread spectrum communications. Board members adopted an interim report and band plan recommendation for amateur use 219 to 220 Mhz. That one mhz slice has been proposed for limited amateur use including packet communications. And the first steps may be starting to change the 40m novice subband. A League committee will consider possibly relocating that band. The committees report is due in July. You will be getting a reminder from League when your license is about to expire. That new practice will also include sending a 610 form to help encourage amateur radio license renewal. A lot of what the ARRL board decided last week will definitely affect your day to day ham radio operations for years to come. ***** LEAGUE AT THE NAT The ARRL is inviting Broadcast professionals and others to visit its booth at the annual convention of the National Association of Broadcasters, to be held March 21st through the 24th at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The booth, manned by ARRL Public Information Manager Steve Mansfield, N1MZA, has in past years attracted several hundred amateurs and former amateurs. Steve will be on hand to field questions from those in broadcasting who are interested in Amateur Radio. The League will be in Booth number is 2703. ***** RED CROSS NEEDS HAMS In the wake of the January 17th Northridge earthquake, the Los Angeles chapter of the Red Cross says that it is in very desperate need of hams to provide help on weekdays and weekday evenings filling shifts in its quake relief shelters. Weekdays pose a real problem for the Red Cross as many of their volunteers have regular jobs. If you are coming to Los Angeles, have a two meter hand-held and have at least six free hours, please call Jim Prince at area code (213) 739-4510. This Red Cross says that this work is vital to those made homeless by the recent quakes, so please consider donating some time. ***** WESTLINK REPORT NEWSLETTER ISSUE DELAYED The Northridge earthquake has taken yet another toll. This, in the ability of a popular ham radio newsletter to get its next edition in the mail. If you are a subscriber to the Westlink Report ham radio newsletter, you may be wondering where edition number 665 is. While it is true that Publisher Burt Hicks, WB6MQV is looking to sell the publication, that's not the reason for the delay in your getting the latest work. Hicks says that last weeks California earthquake is to blame. "While I was sitting at the keyboard at 4:30 in the morning when the quake hit. It's only by the grace of God that I wasn't killed as things came flying off the tops of bookcases and speaker shelving. The computer was hit and sent flying. It took me a couple of days to find it after unburying it. Yes, the issue will come out. But, it is going to be a couple of weeks. My apologies to our readers." Burt Hicks, WB6MQV, Editor of Westlink Report. While we had Burt on the phone we also asked why he has decided to bow out of the ham radio publishing arena after fourteen years. "It has become quite a burden on us with my work schedule shift at a Hollywood TV station. I work all night five days a week. Then I have four children to keep me awake the rest of the time. It's becoming increasingly difficult, I don't know maybe it is just old age. I still love the newsletter, but at a certain point your body can only handle so much." Burt Hicks, WB6MQV, Editor of the Westlink Report. Hicks says that he plans to continue publishing the Westlink Report until a suitable buyer comes along. He says that he will only sell out to an individual or group that promises to uphold the same commitment to moral and journalistic integrity started by his predecessor Joe Schroeder, W9JUV, in his HR Report. Hicks adds that the next edition will soon be in the mail. ***** THIS WEEK IN AMATEUR RADIO UPDATE A quick correction. A few weeks ago we reported on the return of This Week in Amateur Radio to the satellite bands. Unfortunately we got the transponder wrong. This Week in Amateur Radio can be found on Galaxy 3 Transponder 17 with 5.8 MHz audio, not on Transponder 19 as reported. ***** NO DAYTON BUSSES If you are planning to attend the 1994 Dayton Hamvention, better plan to drive your car out to the Hara Arena convention venue. This is because Hamvention planners have announced that they will not be providing free bus service to hotels and motels this year. The problem is simply one of cost. Dayton first began providing the free bus service after land adjacent to the Hara Arena was made off limits for parking. Over the years, the cost of providing the free bus service has soared until it topped the ninety thousand dollar mark. That's simply more than the Hamvention can afford to pay. But over the past twelve months, much of the old parking adjacent to the Hara Arena became available once again. Its now privately owned, so there will be a nominal daily charge to be decided by the owner of each lot. Getting the parking spaces back means that the Hamvention can cut back this expensive transport service, Now it needs to provide shuttles only to outlying parking facilities such as the Salem Mall. According to Hamvention General Chairman Dave Grubb, KC8CF, this will be a savings of over forty-five thousand dollars. Money that can better be spent on improving other aspects of this yearly event. Grubb adds that the Hamvention Planning Committee is also working with the Dayton Chamber of Commerce and the city's Convention and Visitors bureau. This, to see if either will help to underwrite the cost of running busses from the various hotels. In lieu of that, the Hamvention is also trying to get the hotels and motels to provide this service for their guests. The bottom line is that a few out of town visitors who fly to Dayton for the Hamvention may be inconvenienced by this change, but the enhanced on-site parking may make things a lot easier for the vast majority of Hamvention attendees who drive. ***** TAPR MEETING Tucson Amateur Packet Radio better known as TAPR has scheduled its annual meeting for March 4th to 6th at the Best Western Inn at the Airport in Tucson. The meeting will feature presentations and papers on several new hardware projects, discussions, and hands-on demonstrations. The afternoon session on Saturday will feature a mini-symposium on future directions in amateur packet radio. For more information contact Program Chairman Keith Justice, KF7TP, at (602) 461-8687, or contact TAPR at 8987-309 East Tanque Verde Road, Unit Number 337, Tucson, Arizona 85749. Their voice mail system number is (817) 383-0000 and the fax line is (817) 566-2544. ***** QSL STATISTICS In DX, the ARRL says that its members in 1993 sent about 7 and a quarter tons of QSL cards to the ARRL Outgoing QSL Bureau, and the Bureau shipped them out. This was a total 2,182,000 cards for DX destinations. The US Incoming QSL Bureau's volunteers sorted just over two million cards in 1993, as well. ***** QSL ROMEO Cards for the 9D0RR operation should be sent to Edward Kritsky, Box 715, Brooklyn, New York 11230. The former address of Box 776 belongs to Romeo Stepaneko and is now being used only for his personal business. The change applies only to 9D0RR cards. All other cards for Romeo still go to the Box 766 address. ***** VIDEO WINNER Emmy award winning producer Rich Moseson, NW2L has won yet another honor. The ARRL reports that his video titled Ham Radio Horizons was a finalist in the New York Festivals International Non-Broadcast Media competition for 1993. The awards were presented January 14th in New York City. The 49-minute program introducing non-hams to Amateur Radio is part of the CQ Communications video library, which also includes videos on satellite operation, DXing, contests, and packet radio. Executive producer Rich Moseson is also ARRL Section Manager for Northern New Jersey. ***** For this week, that's all from the Amateur Radio Newsline.

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu I would like to know something.. What does the fcc do when they issue all the call signs for a certain area?? Do they start over with call signs that have not been used for a while, or do they just start issue from another group? 73 de Aaron KB8PFZ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- wolfman@p-cove.uucp (Aaron Smith) Amateur radio station KB8PFZ ------------------------------ Date: 1 Feb 94 12:42:59 GMT From: news-mail-gateway@ucsd.edu Subject: FT757GX Help To: info-hams@ucsd.edu Does anyone have a cure for blowing the front end RF diodes in the Yaesu FT757GX. In 1985 I had a problem with FM distortion on this radio and sent it back to the factory for repair. They in turn replaced diodes D3, D13, D15, and D19 on the RF unit. Fortunately that cured my problem until July of 1993. This time the entire front end went out whereby the transmitter worked but the receiver went dead. I had audio but no signal output. Again I shipped it back to Yaesu and this time they replaced 20 1SS83 RF front end diodes in the unit. Unfortunately this repair only lasted 6 months. According to the now defunct Fox-Tango Newsletter this problem first surfaced in 1985. At that time it was discovered that losing one diode caused the FM distortion; losing ten or more caused no reception at all (my problem). The suggested cure was to replace the ISS97 diodes with 1SS83 for improved performance and reliability. Apparently that is what Yaesu did, but six months is hardly very reliable. Has any one else run into this problem and if so what was your cure? Any help would be appreciated.

Here's how ! By Rick Palm, KlCE Field Services Manager Make this your New Year' s Resolution Number One: Write a letter NOW to your representative and senators asking them to sign on to a bill that would make Amateur Radio a congressionally recognized, national resource. This measure, if passed, would recognize amateurs' efforts in emergency communications, support us as "national policy" and would call for regulations that "facilitate" Amateur Radio operation as a "public benefit." This is not a "motherhood and apple pie" motion. There is real substance here, with significant, tangible benefits for Amateur Radio. (For the complete text of the joint resolution, see July 1993 QST, page 74, or write to ARRL HQ for a copy.) There's only one way it will happen: if you make it happen. Here's the story of Senate Joint Resolution 90/House Joint Resolution 199, and how you need to be a part of it. Q. What's the big deal? Why is it so important? A. To put it bluntly, the new law as proposed would be a big arrow in our quiver for use in our constant battle against interests that would seek to take our spectrum away, or otherwise limit our operating ability. This measure affects all of usQnot just a single special-interest group within our hobbyQ who need access to the radio frequency spectrum, the protection of which should be our number one priority. You don' t believe there' s a threat? Just look at the loss of 220222 MHz a few years ago. More challenges will follow. The proposed law would also be useful, literally, in our own backyards, when it comes time to put up our towers and operate our stations. Having a copy in hand when defending that new tower before a public hearing in a zoning board of appeals room won't hurt. COSPONSORS S J Res 90 and H J Res 199 The Amateur Radio Service Joint Resolution November 30, 1993 (States with 100% of the delegation represented are marked with a *) ILLINOIS Rep. Henry Hyde (R, 6) Rep. Jerry Costello (D, 12) Rep. Dennis Hastert (R, 14) Rep. Thomas Ewing (R, 15) Rep. Lane Evans (D, 17) Rep. Glenn Poshard (D, 19) (remaining state co-sponsors are listed below FYI) TOTAL 22 senators 124 representatives Q. Great! What are the particulars? A. Two identical versions of the bill are presently in Congress: Senate Joint Resolution 90 was introduced in the Senate on May 7, 1993 by Sen Charles Robb (D-VA); the House version is House Joint Resolution 199, presented by Reps Mike Kreidler (D-WA) and Jim Cooper (D-TN) with 13 initial cosponsors. If we don't get enough cosponsors, the bill may die this year. Q. What does all that gobbledygook mean exactly? A. It means that these elected representativesQthe same ones who debate NAFTA, the national debt, and foreign policy in war-torn corners of the globeQ felt strongly enough about Amateur Radio to propose to their colleagues a resolution commending amateurs and establishing Amateur Radio as a national resource, much like they do for National Parks! Each version must pass its own house before the law can be enacted. But it must happen soon. (...) Q. How many do we have sofar? A. We have as cosponsors 124 representatives and 22 senators. Not bad, but we've got a long way to go. Remember, we are aiming for 50 senators, and 218 or more representatives. Q. What can I do to help get this passed? A. It's as easy as 1-2-3: (1) Check the list of senators and representatives in the sidebar. (2) If your senators and/or representatives are NOT on the list, please send them a letter asking for support as a cosponsor. Explain that Amateur Radio is a noncommercial radio service of volunteers who step in to provide communications to the public in emergencies and contribute to the advancement of technology through our tradition of experimentation. Give some examples from your state, such as that tornado that ripped through your town, or the floods that swamped neighboring farmland. If you can't come up with a local example tell them how much hams helped out in the recent flood in the Midwest (see December 1993 QST, page 21, and quote some of those stirring words from the hams who helped out). If you can't send a letter, send your QSL card, annotated on the back along these lines. Please do it now so that your letter will be waiting for him/her when he/she returns to Capitol Hill for resumption of the 103rd session of Congress. (Your senators and representatives are listed in your phone book's "blue pages" under US Government, or use the simplified address: The Honorable John Doe Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510, or The Honorable Jane Doe House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 ). [(2a) (kb8cne) If your senator or representative is *on* the list, send him/her a letter *thanking* him/her for recognizing the national importance of the amateur radio service.] And now the easy, but very important step: (3)Pat your self on the back for being a part of the democratic process and helping make your government work for Amateur Radio! (Feb 94 QST Update) Have you done it yet? That is, have you written your US senators and your representative regarding the Amateur Radio Service Joint Resolution, S J Res 90/ H J Res 199, and the Amateur Radio Service Volunteer Service Act, H R 2623? You haven't? Go directly to January QST, pages 54 to 56Qdo not pass GO; do not collect DXCC credits! Read and react: we need your help in enacting the Amateur Radio Service Joint Resolution and the Amateur Radio Volunteer Service Act, H R 2623. New cosponsors of the Amateur Radio Service Joint Resolution who have signed on since the January QST article was published (as of the time of this writing on January 4,1994) include Rep. Glen Browder (D, 13, AL), Rep. Jay Dickey (R, 4 AR), Rep. Vic Fazio (D, 3, CA), Rep. John Lewis (D, 5, GA), Rep. Sherwood Boehlert (R, 23, NY), Rep. Mike Sinar (D, 2, OK), Rep.
