-
- While you may think this is a bit of a bummer, it *does* coincide with the
- IARU Region 1 50MHz event (run for the first time in 1994).
-
- Last year, the RSGB 50MHz Trophy contest was run on the same weekend as the
- ARRL June VHF QSO Party. Although our contest was 8 hours only on the Sunday,
- I was set up and ready by 1600z on the Saturday. With nothing better to do
- during the evening, I sat back from my (relatively elevated) position in
- grid IO82jj listening to the Es QSOs from central / southern Europe rolling
- past. For a few minutes, the band opened to W4-land, and there were a few
- surprised ops saying things like 'GW0RDI/P what was that grid again???'
-
- This year, the contest will be 24 hours (1400z-1400z) and you can expect all
- of the European big guns (this is a relative term - current UK licence
- restricts *ERP* on 50MHz to 100W) to be active. You may just pick up a few
- extra grids on 6M this way. It's worth looking ...
-
- I have what most Europeans would describe as a 'good' station on 50MHz -
- 2 x 7el Create long Yagis plus 1 x 8el Create long Yagi, both fed from a
- single TX, and feeding separate ICOM 726 xcvrs for receive. If / when the
- UK authorities see sense, I have a Henry 6N2 .....
-
- What hours (GMT) does your contest run?

- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- I am thinking about buying a 2m HT. I have read the glossy ads,
- in CQ and 73 but I can not come to any conclusions.
-
- Which do you use ? What are its good / bad points ?
-
- Is power important or is battery life more critical ?
-
- What features are important DTMF, CTCSS, pageing, ...
-
- I am looking at models from Kenwood, Yeasu, and I-COM. I am
- leaning toward the Kenwood TH-28A. I am also looking at the
- Yeasu F-11R and 411 as well as a few models from I-COM.
-
- I would appreciated any recomendations or info on these or
- other 2m HTs before I take the plunge and buy one.
-
- I do plan on carring it with me once and a while but moslty I
- will use it in my car or at home.
-
- Thanks,

-
- That's true, but if I "know" what's not allowed to be transmitted over the
- air, then I can figure out a way to filter that out. i.e. A message comes
- from Internet and the destination is over packet. Once the message is
- received, a program jumps in, scans the message for obscenities (and whatever
- else needs to be caught), and either replaces the offending text, or deletes
- the message entirely. If the message is not deleted, then it forwards it
- over packet, otherwise it sends the message over packet to the addressee of
- the message stating that it was not able to be sent, due to obscenities, etc.
- Does that sound plausible?

- Regarding Solar Activity information, don't forget to check out
- the daily reports posted in rec.radio.info. Also notices of solar
- flare and geomagnetic storm and auroral activity.

- An elmer of mine in the early '60's said to me: "ALWAYS check
- ten meters first, no matter how dead the bands seem. You'll be
- surprised more often than you'd expect." He was right.

- Any thoughts or comments on the transmitting audio qualities of the
