Does anyone have plans for such? As is the case with automobile antenna installations, the best advice is to *get out the drill*, however, you can use a block of wood as a feedthru in a window if your lease won't let you drill the wall. Drill the wood, put it in the window, and close the window against it. If you don't mind replacing the glass when you move, you can also just *drill the glass* for your antenna feedthrus. (Note there are tricks to successfully drilling glass. If you don't know them, consult someone who does.)

One IRC is first class (surface) postage from any IPU country to the US. Note that not all countries belong to the IPU (International Postal Union). For most countries you really want air mail, and that is where things get difficult. The Air Mail rate ranges from 2 to 10 IRCs depoending on the country (of course the ones where surface mail is awfull want 10 IRCs :-) This changes from time to time, so you need to check the K6JO (?) QSL managewr list or a recent callbook for the latest info. BTW *never* buy IRCs fromthe post office, send a check for $10 to a QSL manager and ask to buy some IRCs - he gets more than the post office will give him and they cost you less! When I last did that they were around 30 cents apiece that way. Good DX!

It is said to be the largest island in the world within a lake. The island is dominated by two volcanos, 1610 meter Concepcion, and 1394 meter Madera, and has a population of 35,000 people living within its 266 square km. area. The following is excerpted and translated from a message from YN1TV to N1AW (YN1ASW): On the island of Ometepe there are no radio amateurs, which is a big problem for those OMs who want a QSO with all the islands of the world. This is the reason we are going to invade Ometepe and attempt to put it on the air on HF using packet, RTTY, CW, and SSB. The expedition will camp at the place known as San Marcos, 8 km from Moyogalpa, on the shore of the Great Lake of Nicaragua. It is an ideal location for experiments with antennas. The expedition will be on the air from 0000 UTC Friday February 25, 1994 until 1100 UTC Sunday February 27. The call for this DXpedition will be H70O Hotel Seven Zero Oscar, which has been officially solicited for the Club de Radio Experimentadores de Nicaragua (CREN).

If you travel in your own, or your company's, car, you'll be much happier, as will all those who have to listen to your signals, if you install a mobile rig and proper antenna rather than trying to make do with a HT. If you use rentals, you may be stuck with a HT, or a "bagphone" equivalent consisting of a small mobile rig such as the Icom IC229A, gell cell, cigarette plug adaptor, and a magmount antenna. You won't have satisfactory results with just the rubber dummy load that comes on HTs except in rare locations, and their low power, susceptability to intermod when used with an outside antenna, and low audio output will make you miserable in the car. With the proliferation of 440 MHz activity in much of the country, you may also want to consider a dualband radio. I consider Alinco the value leader for function per dollar, but Yaesu and Icom also make good radios. I don't particularly like Kenwood VHF radios due to a history of problems, but others seem to think they're acceptable. If you're set on a 2 meter only HT, then the Radio Shack HTX202 is an excellent value with good intermod rejection. Most of the others on the market today try to pretend that they're GP scanners as well as two way radios, and thus suffer the problems inherent in wide receiver front ends. My choice in my vehicle is the Alinco 590, and my HT is the Yaesu FT470. Both perform acceptably for the uses to which I put them. I wouldn't consider using the HT in the car, however, since it's wide front end causes it to suffer extreme intermod when used on an external antenna.

Ham Radio Callbook CDROM: $15.95 To: info-hams@ucsd.edu I got the QRZ CDROM a month ago on the internet "special" offered by Fred. This was the best use of money for ham radio for under $20. This CDROM should give Buckmaster and the others a run for their money, since they are at the $50 level. I use the UNIX (tm) version of the callbook. During one run of 25 calls that I looked up for QSLs to stations worked during a QRP contest, it took less than 3 seconds on a workstation. I did this by creating a script with the lines call k5fjz k5jkb ... (for five calls) call xxxxxx xxxx xxx with five calls per line, since the program halts every five for <cr> as it assumes it's in an interactive mode from a terminal. I plan on submitting the data base for ALL 180,000+ US cities and a C program to do great-circle bearing calculations for the next verions of the QRZ CDROM. The data base alone if more than 5MB!!! Anyway, my $0.02 worth of publicity. I'm NOT paid for this endorsement, just another happy satisfied customer. There are a lot of other programs and data bases on the ROM, but I haven't had time to play with them yet. dit dit -- Chuck Adams K5FO CP-60 adams@sgi.com ------------------------------ Date: 21 Feb 94 17:34:18 GMT From: nprdc!ihnp4.ucsd.edu!sdd.hp.com!vixen.cso.uiuc.edu!howland.reston.ans.net!cs.utexas.edu!not-for-mail@network.ucsd.edu Subject: Ramsey debate To: info-hams@ucsd.edu Haven't felt it was appropriate to get back in the middle of the debate, but I was very offended at the comments made directly at me. People on the network and across the country know me.. I have never had anyone call me a liar, and to my knowledge haven't had any problems with anyone I have personally dealt with (giving and receiving information, and buying and selling equipments). I have people calling many nights during the week to ask for help and ask general questions.. haven't had a problem with any of them. I am always most willing to "look in the mirror". Been happy with what I see. What I related on the net was a documented experience I had with John Ramsey, no more, no less. It was based on facts not fiction and had nothing to do with his personal being outside the realm of my experience with him. When I called him a "liar" I think I specifically related the lie he told me.. this seemed reasonable. I was also very offended that he was saying things to customers on the phone that were negative about me (also documented). In contrast, I don't know of an instance where I have lied to ANYONE... it is not something I think is a good attribute and never do it knowingly. I think I was not negative about the building of the Ramsey kit and remember specifically saying I thought the building of it was in fact fun up till the final alignment (so please be accurate when you attempt to call someone a liar with absolutely no information). I know I am not in the least guilty of any immoral or unprofessional behavior...and think it may be time to let this drop.. I was just trying to relate an experience to help people avoid problems I personally encountered. I have heard MANY other people relate problems with this company or I would have not said anything to start with. 73.. this is suppose to be a supportive, fun hobby .. isn't it.

Nice try Dana, but you're the one who seems to follow me from one news- group to another commenting on MY posts. You're the one who wants to play the role of Public Defender. Inflame newsgroups? Nope. But I'm not going to hide my head when I suspect someone has broken the law. Recall I was a radio officer in the U.S. Coast Guard. I am VERY sensitive when I suspect foul play in the air. For years at Group Monterey Station we had to put up with jamming on 2182 kHz (world-wide MF voice distress frequency) and occasionally even on VHF ch16. I didn't put up with it then and I won't put up with it now, whether it occures on or off the ham bands. If you see me chastising someone for suspected illegal operation, feel free to hit the `n' key. But If you're going to attack me, expect to receive a few comments yourself.
