Since a person has been writing me that it is not appropriate to post personal
equipment "For Sale" in this area, if interested, look in rec.radio.swap.  It
appears that this individual feels that he owns this rec area and I only hope
that he is writing to all who post their ham gear (and computers) the same as
he has been bothering me.

I only posted in this area since I noted that other equipment was posted.

A2 through A9 calls do not belong to the US but to other countries. I
believe the 1x1 calls starting with N are already assigned to aircraft.
(Note I said the 1x1 ones!)  I am certain the 1x1 starting with W
are also assigned. You can forget getting a 1x1 call.

Good point, Bob.  I guess you'd have to operate portable if you wanted a
suffix.  And if you wanted to keep your call as short as possible, I'd suggest
Italy so that you could check into your ARES net as N/I.  Of course, if it's a
two meter net you'd better take a *BIG* beam with you.

 > I would not be called when the sixes are listed for that rare island
 > dx.

Since you'll be in Italy for the ARES net, your best bet would probably be to
head down to Libya and operate as N/5A for the DX nets and wait for them to
call for fives.  But then I guess that would make *you* the DX, wouldn't it?

BTW, did we decide on the nomenclature for these calls.  Are they 0x0's?  ;-)

SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------

             Solar activity was very low with only a short series of
       uncorrelated, small B-class x-ray bursts. Region 7689 (S11W38)
       was numbered today.

            Solar activity forecast:  solar activity is expected to be
       very low to low. Regions 7685 (S08W57) and 7688 (N16E60) have
       slim chances of producing isolated C-class flares.

            The geomagnetic field has been at mostly active levels
       for the past 24 hours. Minor to major storm levels were
       observed at high latitudes. Energetic electron fluxes
       (Gt 2 mev) were at high to very high levels during the period.

            Geophysical activity forecast:  the geomagnetic field is
       expected to be unsettled to active for the next 24 hours then
       mostly unsettled for the remainder of the period. High latitudes
       should continue to see minor storm levels tapering off to
       unsettled to active by the end of the forecast period.

            HF propagation conditions were below normal over most
       regions.  MUFs continue to be depressed by up to about 35
       percent.  Propagation was worst for transauroral circuits.
       Similar conditions are expected over the next 24 to 48 hours
       before conditions begin improving.  The transition from
       degraded propagation to near-normal propagation is expected to
       be a gradual process covering at least several days.

NOTES:
     All times are in Universal Time (UT).  Characters preceding begin, max,

     All times associated with x-ray flares (ex. flares which produce
     associated x-ray bursts) refer to the begin, max, and end times of the
     x-rays.  Flares which are not associated with x-ray signatures use the
     optical observations to determine the begin, max, and end times.

     Acronyms used to identify sweeps and optical phenomena include:

          II        = Type II Sweep Frequency Event
          III       = Type III Sweep
          IV        = Type IV Sweep

          Spray     = Limb Spray,
          Surge     = Bright Limb Surge,
          EPL       = Eruptive Prominence on the Limb.

To: [e-mail]

 I got a variety of responses for a car which would be good for 100 watts
or so of HF and 50 or so of 2 meter and 440 radio. Criteria were lack of
interference from car into receiver and from transmitter into auto
electronics.

Diesels and the Taurus were among those favored. Anyone else have comments
on these choices.

LA5VK is listed in the '94 callbook as Inge Johan Lauknes, Oldersneia 10,

LA1BJA is not in the callbook.

                        Hello ALL

The radio amateurs-travellers club named "Russian Robinson
Club" interested in world island program - IOTA is applied
to  separate  radioamateurs, associations, funds and  also
clubs, interests of  which  are equally  connected  to the
above mentioned club.
The  club "RRC" ( Russian Robinson Club )  created  at the
beginning  of  1993  rendered support in organization more
than ten island arctic DX' pedition in 1993, two of  which
are NEW IOTA:

Polska (SP IOTA A).
Competitors of this program have  receive already more than
150  diplomas. We  greatly  hope  that  interest to Russian
national island "RRA" will be increased every year. Besides
it  a  list  with  separate  numbering  of  Russian islands
according to "RRA" has been developed already.
Club  "RRC"  publishes magazin - report  every quarter which
informers about members of this club; last island, polar and
sea expedition  (.../mm);  IOTA - News;  database of Russian
island stations, antarctic station (4K1); diplomas and other
news.
Every Sunday at 08:00 utc 14.120 +/- QRM this club organizes
different discussions.
The club  "RRC"  includes  a great number of polar explorers,
islanders,  navigators  which  had  a  lot  of expedition to
islands, Antarctica (4K1) and  (.../mm). Besides it there is
a lot of radioamateurs interested in IOTA and "RRA".
At  present this club experiences a great financial problems
for arranging expeditions to Russian islands and other places.
There are wonderful opportunities to visit many islands among
which rare available and desert, which are  of great interes-
ting opportunities and suggestions.

This club has many problems with  industrial  radio equipment
which  is  sometimes  necessary  in  expeditions. Now many of
radioamateurs work with home-made apparatus which often break
at  unsuitable moment. Sometimes there are rare possibilities
to  visit islands of Arctic and Antarctic basin. The club has
a wonderful developed diploma program but financial means are
greatly need for its realization.
Council of "RRC" applies to sponsor, radioamateurs, organiza-
tions,  associations, funds and clubs to render any financial
support in carrying out islands expeditions.
We shall also be thankful to all who give us any used (second-
hand) industrial radio equipment for its further using in dif-
ferent expedition.
In all cases any sponsor will receive a description of events,
photos, slides or videofilm from the participants of DX' pedi-
tions.
The  sponsors  indicate  in their agreement what they want to
have in return for their  financial support or equipment. All
those  who  will render  any  support in any cases they'll be
free  of  charge  subscribers of our magazine-report "Russian
Robinson News". "RRC" invites all interested HAMs from diffe-
rent countries of the world to arrange joint expedition to the
islands of Russia.

"RRC" can help to arrange any visit to any island of Russia and
to settle all organization problems. Wait for your suggestions !

How often have you heard such exchanges:

DX: QRZ contest, this is Lima One Delta

US: (huh??) Your call again?

DX: L1D

US: (geez, a new one...) WB0X

DX: Station WB0X something?

US: Willy Baker Zero X-ray.

DX: Willy Baker Zero X-ray, full call please...


Aren't you glad you have a traditional call?  Don't you wish
everyone else have them too?  :-)

You would have found lots of 10m phone activity into South America
and the Pacific during the March 5 weekend (ARRL DX contest).

My log shows P4, PJ9, YV, ZP, V2, XE, LU, PY, KH6, CE, VP2V, V7,
KL7, T30, HP, HI, KP4, KG4, JA and CX on 10 meters phone last Sunday.

Granted, 15m and 20m were better into the rest of the world that
weekend, but 10m is far from "dead" yet.  Maybe next year :-).
