- : This is, I believe, a telephone number. 387 is the Bosnia country
- : code, the next two digits are for the city in question, and the remaining
- : six are the local number. Sarajevo, for instance, is 387-71-XXX-XXX. Some
- : local numbers do have seven digits. The amazing thing in this war is that
- : the phones will occasionally come to life and people trapped inside can
- : telephone out. It is much more difficult to make a call into the country,
- : since the few lines that remain are almost always busy. Good luck if you try
- : to get through. I have been attempting to send a fax to the United Nations

- Thanks to Tony and others who responded privately, who pointed out that this did
- look amazingly like a phone number and that ip addresses fall within the range
- of 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255. I will advise the bosnians that this is NOT any
- sort of ham address and that they might pick up a phone and try phoning either
- the ham or their friends/relatives directly and persistently. Thanks again to
- everyone who tried to help.

-
- I can think of two things: Skin cancer (they are out in the sun a lot),
- and cancer caused by excessive exposure
- to pesticides used on the greens and fairways.
-
- I wonder when the groundskeeper death rate study will be released.

- Subject: Looking for authors of FFTMORSE/DSPMORSE
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- I've done some major overhauling of DSPMORSE which was based on FFTMORSE in
- order to get it working on my 486DX-33 w/SBPro. It no longer requires
- ct-voice.drv, but does now include some SB Freedom Project code for DMA
- routines. I worked about 7 hours on it today/last night to get it to copy
- 13wpm from some 1976 ARRL code tapes flawlessly from my walkman into the
- microphone input of the SBPro. It does have a couple problems I can't iron
- out, but maybe someone else could.
-
- Anyway, I'm sitting on the new source code until the author(s) contact me.

- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- I saw a trick on this news group not long ago that seems to work well
- for soldering PL-259's. Remove the two bolts and tip from a transformer-
- type soldering gun and press the two tips -hard- against the PL-259.
- Instead of the soldering tip carrying the current, the Pl-259 itself carries the
- current and gets hot. The voltage is very low and you won't get shocked.
-
- It heats very quickly when you hold a tight connection, and you're done before
- the insulator has time to melt.

- I don't understand what is so unusual about the time lengths shown above.

- I regularly see cards that are dated 10 years ago....

-
- The way it works in my head seems to be that I have a longish mental
- FIFO with parallel access for pattern matching. The FIFO seems to run
- at about 5-10 letters, though access back to 10 letters requires me to
- think harder than for, say, 5. The length varies with speed too. Oh
- yes, and there are also algorithms for stuff missed in QRM: I am
- conscious of rescanning activity going on in my mind to try to `make
- sense' of whole chunks of partially copied code. This is mostly
- english grammer context guessing, but there is also a little bit of
- `that S could have been an H, but not a Q'.
-
- The character-by-character loading of the FIFO is subconscious, I just
- `hear' the words, I guess as my brain picks out whole words from the
- FIFO. At high speed, near the limit of my ability, I hear whole
- phrases. I suspect this is why most operators I know have a small
- speed range (about 5wpm) just below their maximum, where they read code
- more comfortably than lower speeds. Of course, I use the FIFO as an
- analogy. Goodness knows what is really going on in my head. I'd have
- the same difficulty describing how I ride a bike.
-
- The point I seek to make (long windedly) is that unless you put the
- pencil down Gary, you deny yourself the chance of developing this `look
- back and re-evaluate' ability, which is how I copy Thessalonian via
- "the", "these", "no, what the hell is this word?" and finally
- "Thessalonian", though I think most of us CW freaks would actually miss
- the word unless there were preceding context clues. But maybe I
- shouldn't admit that :-)
