Subject: Access to VOA News by United States Residents
To: [e-mail]

Since we announced the availability of the Voice of America and
Worldnet Television public Internet server a couple of days ago,
I have received a number of anxious emailed inquiries from
Americans regarding the disclaimer attached to the announcement:

    In accordance with U.S. law, program materials such as
    the News and English Broadcasts newswire are provided
    exclusively for recipients outside the United States.

The restriction on domestic dissemination of VOA and Worldnet
program materials applies to employees of VOA and Worldnet, and
not to other residents of the United States.  In other words, we
may not actively attempt to transmit our programs or distribute
our program materials to recipients within the United States.
But anyone living in the United States who wants to take the
initiative to listen to VOA or watch Worldnet or read the News
and English Broadcasts newswire is free to do so, even though
they are not the reason why we have radio broadcasts, television
satellite feeds or a public FTP/gopher server on the Internet.

Here are some examples of how the law works:

  o VOA may not establish a network of affiliated radio stations
    inside the United States, as we have in many other countries.
    However, if a cable television provider wants to downlink VOA
    programs from a satellite and carry them on an audio channel
    -- as, indeed, one does here in Washington, D.C. -- the
    government may neither facilitate nor interfere with that
    activity.

  o Worldnet does not offer its television programs to American
    networks or stations.  However, if an original Worldnet program
    is newsworthy, anyone who can receive it is free to rebroadcast
    it.  (Obviously, this does not apply to copyrighted commercial
    programs that Worldnet distributes to other countries under
    licenses from their producers.)

  o Anyone in the United States can listen to a VOA shortwave
    broadcast or FTP a script from our public Internet server,
    and then redistribute that tape or script to anyone else in
    the United States.  The broadcasts and the texts of the
    scripts are not intended for recipients within the United
    States, however, so please don't ask us to help you make
    copies of them.

I hope this allays some of the concerns that have been expressed
about access to the materials on our public server by residents
of the United States.  Normally when I post a USENET article, I
speak only for myself, but in this instance I have been authorized
to provide this explanation on behalf of VOA and Worldnet by our
Office of External Affairs.

If anyone wants to discuss this subject further with VOA and
Worldnet, there is a list of public electronic mail addresses
on our server (ftp.voa.gov).  Probably the most appropriate on
is [e-mail].  Please don't send mail to me; I'm already
swamped.

I recently subscribed to QEX for the technical stuff, and there was a
mention that some thought QEX was getting too technical, which left me
flabbergasted, since I thought QEX was for tech stuff.
I would like to see more technical articles in every ham magazine.

Or how about:
  for $100 or so
    a heathkit hw99,
    a heatkit hw101
  for $300 or so
    drake r4/t4
    kenwood ts520s
for a very small sampling of fine radios for a beginner.

These will get you out on five bands instead of just two.  They come
with tone, sidetone that is, built in.  Probably be cheaper too.  I bet you
could work greater distances too.

Sorry.  Could not resist.  I would consider rigs by Standard for 2m/70cm
dual band radios.  Their gear seems to built well and well designed.
The new mobile C5618DA (model no?) is very nice.  It
has very wide band receive. From 110Mhz to 174MHz on 2m receiver and
250MHz to 540Mhz on the 70cm receiver.  It has 7 modes of scanning and
can have upto 200 memories.  It is also 9600 baud packet ready.

Subject: Dayton Parking: Hell on Earth!
To: [e-mail]

I hafta agree with others that the traffic jam is going to be beyond
description if no shuttle bus service is provided. Somehow the Hamvention
organizers have to maintain some level of transport to outlying areas. I'm
only one possible attendee, but I might consider not going this year if I
don't have the abililty to use a bus to get to the site. For those who
choose to drive, they will probably never get there and back because of
all those extra cars on the road. I would be willing to pay a 3 day fee
for unlimited rides to help defray the cost just to have the buses. Did
anyone think of that as an option ? After paying for air fare to get to
Dayton and $100 per night for hotels etc., what's a few extra dollars?

Some people here who took their tests from us on November 28th ('93)
had their licenses arrive last week.  That's a little under 9 weeks.

I'd expect your license to show up any day now.  If it gets to 12
weeks and it still hasn't arrived, call your VEC, as an earlier poster
said.  Maybe you could call after 10 weeks, if you've noticed your
mailman fingering his can of Mace every time he walks up to your
house. :-) We've all experienced that "attack the mailman" feeling...

Can anyone help me?

I have have the PK 232 and am having a hard time
trying to get it to work.  I have a few different
TERM Programs but ther still do not talk to the
PK232.
I have a DOS PC and have the cable hooked up to
the big 25 pin serial port.  The PK232 is hoked up
with Radio 1 hooked up by the phone plug for Receive
audio and the 8 or what ever pin gray cable to the
Xmit PTT and Mike Audio.
When I plug it all in and power it up it starts to
transmit a dead signal.  If I disconnect the mike
plug and try to receive nothing will appear on my
Term.
When I power it up it will not even see the PK232.
I am not sure what that problem is.

If anyone can help Plese do I am LOST!!!

Subject: More info: the DSP nobody mentioned
To: [e-mail]

Last week I described a DSP filter that several hams in the Eugene, OR area
are now using. I also posted a short description about the filter which
AI7W composed after we received several inquiries about the unit.

This morning I received the following message which might get your interest
piqued a bit more:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
After reading your description of Steve's filter, I went out to his place
yesterday for a live demo.  It's amazing!  Why aren't these folks
advertising in the ham mags?  The filter plus program are less than the
other popular DSPs I see.

Of course, it does have a couple disadvantages:  you need a computer with
considerable horsepower, and maybe VGA color monitor; and the filter and
its control program are so interesting that I spent more time fiddling
with it than I did listening!

W7KPZ
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have no affiliation with the company that makes this filter. I'm just
amazed at what this unit does and how it does it. Steve gave this contact
info:

The address and phone for Digital Interactive Signal Corp. is

Digital Interactive
2317 N.E. 168th Ave.
Vancouver, WA.  98684

206-256-8654

I don't think they're on the net.

good Luck Steve..AI7W

Hope this helps,

FYI, there is also moving map software available in the $250 range for
either the Mac or PC.  Takes the GPS output and displays position and
track on an image of the appropriate aeronautical sectional.  It also
does a few other neat tricks.

Ads can be found in Flying magazine as well as AOPA Pilot - probably
many other flying mags.

SB SAREX @ AMSAT $STS-60.001
STS-60 SAREX Mission Begins

3 February 1994  at 12:30 UTC

The Space Shuttle Discovery made a spectacular, historic, on-time liftoff
this morning from the Kennedy Space Center.  Discovery's launch marks the
first joint U.S.-Russian Space Shuttle Flight.  This will be the first of
several joint missions planned in preparation for the development of  the
international Space Station.  Cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev, U5MIR, was one
of the six crew members on board this morning's Shuttle flight.  His
fellow American crew mates include Commander Charlie Bolden, KE4IQB,
Pilot Ken Reightler, and Mission Specialists Jan Davis, Ron Sega, KC5ETH,
and Franklin Chang-Diaz.  The primary payloads on-board Discovery are the
Wake Shield Facility, which will be deployed and retrieved during the
flight and the Spacehab facility.  Of particular interest to radio
amateurs is the Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment (SAREX) secondary
payload.  SAREX information for STS-60 including frequencies, callsigns
and Keplerian elements, follows:

AMATEUR RADIO EXAMINATION OPPORTUNITIES



*****************************************************************

Special Note:  A New FCC Form 610 must be used for applications
    submitted to the FCC beginning March 1, 1994.  Your local
    VE Team will usually have the form you will need.
    Contact them in advance.

Note: Amateur Radio licenses usually arrive between 8 and
    10 weeks after the test session.  The FCC considers their
    processing time to be 90 days--from the date they receive the
    application.  The FCC usually receives the application one
    to two weeks after the test session (once the VE Team and the
    coordinating VEC have completed their processing).


Note: Codeless Technician to Technician w/HF upgraders (who pass a
    Morse code test) will not receive a new license from the FCC.
    The existing Technician license plus the CSCE conveying the Morse
    code test credit is the only documentation issued for use of
    the additional HF privileges.

*****************************************************************

The following test session information is provided by the
ARRL/VEC for the upcoming six to eight week period.  For
further information, please contact the test session CONTACT
PERSON at the telephone number provided.  If necessary, you
may contact the ARRL/VEC at 203-666-1541 x282 for additional
information.  Electronic mail may be forwarded to the ARRL/VEC
via USENET at "[e-mail]" or via MCI Mail to
MCI ID: 215-5052.

Although the test session information presented here does
not indicate whether walk-ins are accepted or not, most test
sessions do allow walk-ins.  We encourage you, however, to
always contact the CONTACT PERSON at the telephone number
provided so that the VE Team is aware that you be attending
the test session.



STILL NEED TO PREPARE FOR YOUR EXAM?

If you would like information on how to become licensed; or
