: A mailing I read is involved in a comparision of the speeds of
: printing and cursive writing. I decided to consult some experts.
: So, all you high-speed CW ops, which do _you_ use?
Cursive is definitely faster than printing. Using a keyboard is much
faster still. The best is to copy in your head. For me, I'll use pencil
and paper up til around 25 wpm; more likely a keyboard which is comfortable
(for me) up til around 35-40 wpm. If you use a keyboard, at higher speeds
you generally have to read the text of what you typed to know what you
copied - it (the code) passes directly from your ears to you fingertips
and doesn't stop off in the brain. ;-) For anything >40 wpm, I personally
have to copy in my head and make notes, where possible, on paper.

SYNOPSIS OF ACT
--------------------
Solar activity remained very low. Region 7664 (S12W49)
continued its growth and became a small class D group. This
region produced several B-class events.
Solar activity forecast: solar activity should become low
with Region 7664 beginning to produce small C-class bursts. If
the current pace of growth continues, small M-class flares
could be observed in a few days from this region.
STD: Electrons at greater than 2 MeV have become elevated. The
enhancement began at about mid-day on the 7th. The enhancement
appears to be approximately similar in intensity to what was observed
at this time during the last solar rotation. If flux levels continue
to remain strongly enhanced over the next week as occurred last
rotation, geosynchronous satellite anomalies may be observed.
Geomagnetic storm conditions continued. Mid latitudes
experienced minor to major storm levels. High latitude
conditions ranged between active and severe storm levels.
The Forbush decrease noted yesterday returned to a near
normal level.
Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field
should become predominantly active for the next three days.
Isolated periods at minor to major storm are forecast for
mid latitudes and isolated major to severe storm periods
are possible for high latitudes.

HF propagation conditions were significantly below normal
over almost all regions today. Strong geomagnetic and auroral
storming produced radio blackout conditions for transpolar and
transauroral circuits. Absorption was widespread and
relatively strong today. The storming raised LUFs and lowered
MUFs. MUFs were decreased by between 30 and 50 percent over
most regions. Fair to poor propagation was observed over even
the low latitudes. Middle latitudes saw fair to very poor
propagation. Storming is still in progress at the present
time, although it is expected to subside slightly, later on 08
February. A return to near-normal conditions is not expected
for several days yet, except over the lower latitudes where
near-normal conditions may return on 09 February. Higher
latitudes will require additional time to recover from this
ionospheric storm.

SYNOPSIS OF ACT
--------------------
Solar activity remained very low. New Region 7668
(N09E50) emerged rapidly and produced several optical flares
with B-class enhancements. Region 7664 (S14W62), which was
growing rapidly on 07 Feb, stabilized during the period. A lack
of data is inhibiting analysis.
Solar activity forecast: solar activity should become
generally low. Region 7668 is becoming a likely candidate for
low C-class subflares. Old Region 7654 is due at the east
limb at the end of the period and should start to elevate
activity levels at that time. Last rotation, Region 7654
produced four M-class and many C-class events.
The geomagnetic field was at active to major storm levels.
Some high latitude sites experienced severe storm conditions.
The severity of this disturbance appeared to be moderating
toward the end of the period. More frequent active to
unsettled k indices were observed at various observatories.
Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field
should become predominantly active for the duration of the
forecast period. Occasional minor to major storm periods are
likely. The coronal hole responsible for this disturbance is
quite elongated and disturbed geomagnetic conditions should
be expected for approximately one week.

HF propagation conditions were disturbed over most regions
today. A moderate ionospheric storm is in progress. MUFs are
depressed and LUFs are raised, decreasing the available
bandwidth and resulting in more difficult communications,
particularly for transpolar and transauroral circuits where
propagation has been useless for a good part of the UTC day.
Conditions are expected to remain disturbed over the next 24 to
48 hours before very gradually improving. Conditions are not
expected to return to near-normal for at least several days,
perhaps extending beyond 5 to 7 days.

Subject: Hamblaster update
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
The Hamblaster Update
Over the past several months I posted updates about a
DSP "The Hamblaster" that Will Torgrim (N9PEA) and myself
are developing.
We are focusing our efforts on a packet modem that allows
the user to improve H.F. reception by interfacing the Ham-
blaster (a PC compatable DSP sound board) to a transceiver
and a packet or all mode TNC. Modems/filters for RTTY,
Packtor, Amtor are also under developement and are compatable
with the same control panal software.
Here are the latest developements
2-10-94
Several weeks ago I mentioned that the projected cost for
the board would be about $350.00. It was just a
"guessestmate". It looks like it will be more in the $275.00
range and could be as low as $250.00. This may still sound
high compared to the Soundblaster or other sound cards, but
you have to remember that it's made exclusivly for Ham Radio
and it won't have the volume (sales) of other sound cards.
I would also like to point out that it's not just software.
It's a sound card with a DSP and a digital port that can
interface to a TNC. The DSP is used as an improved filter
for Packet or RTTY and other digital modes. It unless there's
a way to interface it with Baycom, it cannot copy packet
without a TNC.
1) External Power supply
I think one feature that separates the Hamblaster
from other sound boards is it's ability to run on
an external 12 volt supply. When a filter or modem
is loaded, You can turn off the computer and
Hamblaster keeps on going and going and going!
When it's connected to a PK-232, there's no need
to keep the computer on in order to keep the DSP
alive. Right now, my PK232/Hamblaster is runing
and it's been operating for about 5 days
2) Adaptive (LMS) filter
There's ongoing developement in this area. We are
planing (I don't think this has been done before)
to add controls to the LMS algorithm.
3) Soundblaster compatibility
The Hamblaster IS NOT soundblaster compatible.
It was designed that way so that it will run
independant of other sound boards. I can still
use my Soundblater to record sound, play music,
load software from the CD or use the midi interface.
At the same time, I can receive packets or use
a DSP filter with my Ham equipment.

I think you'd have a better chance of doing this if your last name
was Gates, not Ross. Does that help you guess what sort of cost we're
talking about?
Seriously, there's no way to do this except with a satellite or a land
line (probably a fiber) and lots of very fancy, very expensive gear.
There's no way at all to do this with radio. HF can often propogate
to anywhere on the planet via skywave (bouncing off the ionosphere)
but not reliably and there's no way anyone's going to give you the
spectrum you need to move 1Mbit/sec that way (we're talking international
treaty kind of limitations!) There's enough spectrum if you can use
UHF or higher frequencies, but these are line-of-sight only, which is
why you need a satellite.
I suggest it's time to reconsider whether this is really something
you "need". :-)

For questions on QRP - I suggest a good source of info is the QRP reflector.
To subscribe to the mailing list, simply send an e-mail msg to:
qrp-request@think.com
I can't recall if you should only enter SUBSCRIBE or also include info
on yourself (e.g. name, call, qrp rig, etc).
