- As a regular reader of INFO-HAMS it would appear that there is someone
- on the net that could help me. I am using a UNIX work station for my hobbie
- computer. I am trying to Get UUCP to work with a friends computer that is on
- the inter_net. Most of the time I can send mail to a user with a node address
- but not allways. All of the time I can send mail and receive mail to the
- machine doing the uucp connection with mine. Allways when mail comes from
- the network to mine it ends up in the dead.letter file. I am looking for
- someone on the net work to exchange headers with that could help me
- with this. Working thru this has been a lot of fun but this is kind of
- a bump. Thanks for your time ....

- I will be in Edmonton in late June/early July and want to be able to use a
- dual band HT.
-
- Having previously had a short term reciprocal licence when in Vancouver some
- years ago
- I am aware that the best thing to do is to apply to the local Department of
- Communications
- Regional Office. Can some one tell me which one that is for Edmonton, and
- let me have the address.
- If you know the fax number that is even better. (Faxes are wonderful for a
- fast reply!)
-
- Thanks for your help, maybe talk to you when I am there.

- SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
- --------------------
-
- SESC SYNOPSIS COVERS THE INTERVAL FROM 13/2100Z TO 14/2100Z:
-
- Solar activity was very low.
-
- Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
- very low to low. Region 7688 (N19E20) has the only flare
- potential with a small chance of C-class activity.
-
- The geomagnetic field has been at unsettled to active
- levels for the past 24 hours. High latitude stations reported
- minor storming for the last half of the period. Energetic
- electron fluxes (GT 2 mev) have been at moderate to high levels
- during the period.
-
- Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
- expected to be mostly unsettled for the entire forecast period.
-
- Event probabilities 15 mar-17 mar
-
- Class M 01/01/01
- Class X 01/01/01
- Proton 01/01/01
- PCAF Green
-
- Geomagnetic activity probabilities 15 mar-17 mar
-
- A. Middle Latitudes
- Active 30/25/20
- Minor Storm 15/15/10
- Major-Severe Storm 05/05/05
-
- B. High Latitudes
- Active 35/25/25
- Minor Storm 15/15/15
- Major-Severe Storm 05/05/05
-
- STD: HF propagation conditions continued to gradually
- improve throughout most of the UTC day. Renewed activity near
- the end of the UTC day appears to be producing minor signal
- degradation again for transpolar and transauroral circuits.
- Similar periods of minor signal degradation can be expected
- over the next several days, although general conditions should
- continue to gradually improve.

- All times are in Universal Time (UT). Characters preceding begin, max,
- and end times are defined as: B = Before, U = Uncertain, A = After.
- 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
- V = Type V Sweep
- Continuum = Continuum Radio Event
- Loop = Loop Prominence System,
- Spray = Limb Spray,
- Surge = Bright Limb Surge,
- EPL = Eruptive Prominence on the Limb.

- Fuel consumption is better than HALF that of the petrol (gasolene)

- I agree 100% with Dan. I cannot remember things unless I really understand
- them and the league manuals are definitely the optimum IMHO. They give you
- actually more than you need to take the test and the good is that you can
- use them later as a reference.
- Regarding the code test, I'm with Dan again suggesting SuperMorse in any
- version you can find (I think the current is 4.10 and should be widely
- available on the net). Using the tape I guest can lead to memorization
- after some time while SM can generate random patterns that teach you to
- really copy code (the blocks are meaningless group of words) instead of
- presuming the word before it is really received (useful when you'll
- be on the air).

- Subject: TX Amp for 20 mtrs QRP rigs.
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- Hi,
-
- Need recommendation for a small TX amp kit which takes about 4 watts output from my QRP rig and puts out 20-30 watts with
- built in T-R switching (preferably solid-state T-R) and runs off 12-13.8v DC power supply. Must be small so I can fit it into my
- existing rig's casing. Should be something similar to the QAMP-20 from Ramsey Hobby kits. BTW, this is for 20 meters. Tks.

-
- See February QST and other amateur radio magazines for all the details --
- maybe even look at ftp.fcc.gov (although i doubt anything on this is there...)
- haven't pulled an index in a while, but also see info@arrl.org and some of the
- other places (what is it? world.std.com? for one...)
-
- QST printed the RM in Feb in it's entirety. The ARRL filed for and got an
- extension of time for filing comments.
-
- And if you have the bucks (proposal would be $70) and the call is unassigned
- (it would be #1 on your list of 10 you submit - if the proposal were to pass
- unrevised) you could get it...although i believe you pay regardless of whether
- or not any of your ten favorite calls is available...
