To: [e-mail]

Hi,
   I was wondering if anyone could tell me about a magazine called
"Short Wave Magazine".  Seems to be a British publication.  I've been
getting quite a few correspondances about an article on monitoring the
Space Shuttle.  The issue in question is March 1994 "Airband Issue".
I'd like to see what the article promised these individuals.

please respond to [e-mail]

 *     The following is a closed circuit advisory.  According    *
 *  to Newsline Support Fund administrator Norm Chalfin K6PGX,   *
 *  the funds needed to keep Newsline in operation are once      *
 *  again low.  According to Norm, it now costs a bit over $850  *
 *  a month to pay the telecommunications and equipment supply   *
 *  bills.  That's up over $150 from the same time last year.    *
 *     For those of you unaware, Newsline pays the cost of       *
 *  three telephones including the one used for news gathering.  *
 *  We also pay for several electronic news and information      *
 *  services, we pay for electronic mail, for raw tape stock     *
 *  and the cost of repairing and updating our production        *
 *  facilities.  Over the past year we have had several offers   *
 *  of free or reduced rate E-mail services.  While this is      *
 *  very much appreciated, there are several services that are   *
 *  used by the ham radio publications industry that are not     *
 *  available except on a direct basis.  Obviously, changing     *
 *  the electronic mail services is not possible unless the      *
 *  entire ham radio publishing wants to make such a move.  At   *
 *  this time the industry is not so inclined.                   *
 *     Right now, Newsline has enough funds to carry it through  *
 *  to the end of April, but that's it.  Therefore we are once   *
 *  again appealing to all of our listeners to assist in any     *

                      The following is a QST

    The FCC names a well known ham to head up its new task force
 on personal communications services and a missing young ham has
 returned home.

 *****
                   HALLER TO HEAD PCS TASK FORCE

    One of the nations best known and most respected ham radio
 operators has been selected to guide all personal communications
 into the next century and beyond.  This, with the naming of FCC
 Private Radio Bureau Chief Ralph Haller, N4RH to head the newly
 created Commission task force on personal communications
 services, better known as the PCS.
    The Commission says that the task force will provide a focal
 point for all of the PCS issues currently before it and those
 yet to surface.  The group will would work with all of the FCC's
 bureaus and offices that are involved in PCS issues.  It will
 also be responsible for assuring consistency between policies and
 rules for narrow-band and wide-band PCS services.
    FCC Chairman Reed Hundt says that he choose Ralph Haller to
 head up the task force because he is confident that under his
 leadership the group will guide the Commission in the timely
 development of a comprehensive regulatory framework for the PCS.
 Other members of the task force include FCC Chief Engineer Tom
 Stanley, Robert Pepper who is Chief of the Office of Plans and
 Policy, Donald Gips the Deputy Chief of Office of Plans and
 Policy and FCC Chief Economist Michael Katz.

 *****
                    CLINTON NAMES CHONG TO FCC

    President Clinton has selected San Francisco
 telecommunications lawyer Rachelle B. Chong to fill one of two
 vacancies at the Federal Communications Commission.  Chong, a 34
 year old Republican, would become the FCC's first-ever
 Asian-American commissioner if confirmed by the Senate.  She
 would replace Sherrie Marshall, whose seat at the FCC has been
 open for nearly a year.  Chong's term would last through
 mid-1997.
    President Clinton also intends to nominate Susan Ness,
 another communications lawyer as a Commissioner.  Ness has worked
 as a senior lender and as group head in the communications
 industries division of American Security Bank in Washington.
 During the mid-1970s, she was assistant counsel to the House
 Banking Committee.  She holds a law degree from Boston College
 Law School and a master's degree in business administration from
 the Wharton School.

 *****
                          FCC RFI SURVEY

    The FCC has released the results of a just completed telephone
 interference survey and it says that going QRP makes little
 difference in telephone related RFI.
    Thirty-five FCC field offices each picked three random cases
 of telephone interference on record and then visited the scene.
 The transmitting stations included 47 Citizens Band; 27 Amateur;
 23 AM broadcast; 10 FM broadcast; and one international broadcast
 station.
    At the location experiencing interference, the FCC's Field
 Operations Bureau personnel would first test the telephones on
 site, and then test their own RFI immune telephones, as well as
 several commercially available filters.  In all, some 241
 different telephones were tested.
    Among the FCC's conclusions was that transmitter power did not
 seem to be a significant factor.  In fact, transmitters that ran
 10 watts or less caused significant telephone interference in
 one-third of the cases.  The FCC also said that add-on filters
 provided a cure to the interference problem in only one-third of
 the incidents investigated.
    The study did however conclude that manufacturers can design
 telephones.  The FCC says that it hopes the survey will encourage
 affected parties to productively address and resolve this
 problem, but stopped short of ordering the manufacturing
 community to produce only RFI immune telephones.

 *****
                         SPECTRUM AUCTION

    The Federal Communications Commission has taken a first step
 toward setting the ground rules under which businesses can bid
 for certain chunks of the airways.  On March 8th, the FCC adopted
 set of so called generic rules for auctioning radio frequencies
 for a variety of new services, including the next generation of
 mobile telephone service called personal communications service.
    The rules will allow several auctions to be conducted at the
 same time, require $2,500 as a minimum up-front payment for
 parties to participate in the auction, set deadlines for payments
 on winning bid and also set aside a portion of the frequencies to
 be bid on by individuals or groups composed primarily of women,
 minorities, rural telephone companies and small businesses.
 Companies obtaining personal communications services licenses
 will be able to offer consumers the next generation of mobile
 phone service, in which the number travels with the phone's
 owner.
    The FCC says that it is exploring various options to submit
 bids.  This includes electronic filing as well as oral and paper
 bids.  A more detailed set of rules for specific services will be
 decided later.  There are no plans now toward any reallocation by
 auction of the spectrum used by radio amateurs or other
 communications hobbyists.

                           WZ1W FOUND

    A missing Massachusetts teenager, whose been the object of a
 nationwide search involving amateur radio, has been found.
 Nathan A. Taylor, WZ1W, who disappeared in August, was found
 March 8th in southeast Texas.  That's where according to a
 friend of Taylor's family Nathan was taken into custody by
 federal authorities.
    After nearly seven months, fourteen year old Nathan A.
 Taylor, is back in his home state of Massachusetts.  Paul
 Topolski, N1IPG, is a friend of the Taylor family.

    "He has trouble socializing with his piers and consequently he
 really didn't want to go back to school."  Paul Topolski, N1IPG.

    Nathan became heavily involved with computers.  That according
 to Topolski triggered Nathan's actions.

    "There's quite an underground network of computer operators on
 the bulletin boards and so forth.  He got involved with the wrong
 group and consequently enticed into leaving home."  Paul
 Topolski, N1IPG.

    Nathan disappearance lead to fears that he was in the company
 of a man who has a known criminal record.  That suggestion was
 raised after police viewed files on Nathan's computer system.
 For Nathan's parents in Gardner, Massachusetts the next several
 months would be filled with anxiety.

    "All I know is what his parents have told me about a bus trip
 from Gardner through Memphis and then that was the last time
 anybody had seen him.  The bus driver in Memphis remembered
 seeing him and then that was it, he appeared to jump off the bus
 at that time.  He turned up in Houston, Texas and one evening his
 parents called me and consequently informed me that he had been
 arrested by the FBI.  He is now back in the Gardner area."  Paul
 Topolski, N1IPG.

    Topolski says Nathan still has problems to work out.

    "He seems to have calmed down quite a bit too."  Paul
 Topolski, N1IPG.

    The last several months have been extremely hard from Nathan
 Taylors family members.  Now they can rest easier as well.
    Nathan's close ties to ham radio led to a nationwide plea on
 amateur radio packet systems.  Topolski contacted ARRL Section
 Managers in Texas and Tennessee for assistance.  He sent flyers
 to amateur radio clubs as the part of the effort to locate
 Nathan.

                          HI SEAS RESCUE

    Two men rescued from a sinking boat in the Gulf of Mexico
 credit Amateur Radio for saving their lives.  Larry Hooker,
 KB5ZNY, of Thaxton, Mississippi, and his sailing partner, Rett
 White, were returning from Honduras on Hooker's 35 foot sailing
 vessel "Off The Hook," when they ran into an unexpected storm and
 high seas.
    Hooker had been in contact with his friend Randall O'Brian,
 KD5ZH, of West Point, Mississippi, since hoisting anchor on
 February 6th.  The two were keeping regular schedules on 80, 40,
 and 20 Meters and O'Brian was the first to learn of their
 difficulties and eventually contacted the US Coast Guard.
 O'Brian continued to help provide communication, along with the
 Coast Guard, who came up on 3.862 MHz.
    On March 4th, Hooker and White were taken aboard the Coast
 Guard cutter Cushing.  Their boat was put under tow but
 subsequently sank.
    Hooker had visited his daughter, Tina, KB5YNN, a missionary
 with Global Outreach in the northeastern part of Honduras.  This
 is an area accessible only by air or sea.

                       AMSAT NET ON GALAXY 3

    Satellite users may be interested in an experiment being
 conducted in the Houston, Texas area.  The group there is
 uplinking the Houston Area Amsat Net, heard locally on the 147.10
 FM repeater, to the Galaxy 3, communications satellite Channel
 17, on the 5.8 Mhz audio subcarrier of the Shop-At-Home Channel.
 The net is carried in realtime on Tuesday evening, from
 approximately 10 PM Central Standard Time until completion.  This
 is an experiment but could be continued on a regular basis if
 interest is sufficient.  Send reception reports to Craig
 Davidson, WD5BDX by packet or direct to his callbook address.

                             DELPHI

    Delphi, a national bbs-type information service and Internet
 gateway has announced the opening of a special interest group
 dedicated go radio users in general, and Ham Radio operators in
 particular.  During years past, Ham Radio was supported as a
 sub-topic on Delphi as part of the Delphi Hobby SIG.  Through the
 efforts of Marty Goodman, KC6YKC and Andy Eddy, WB1FEV Amateur
 Radio has at last been given a separate special interest group of
 its own on Delphi.
    During its first week of operation beginning March 2nd, this
 SIG has been able to offer a library of over 300 groups of files
 for downloading and an active forum.  Also in the first week
 about 30 messages posted every day, with over 300 Delphi members
 visiting this forum.  Those interested in this new SIG should
 contact Delphi services for more information.

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

             Solar activity was very low. Region 7695 (S16E05)
       produced the largest flare of the past day, a B6/SF at 28/0937Z.
       This region is growing slowly and is presently a small C-type
       sunspot group.

            Solar activity forecast:  solar activity is expected to be
       very low. B-class flares are possible in Region 7695.

            The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled.

            Geophysical activity forecast:  the geomagnetic field is
       expected to become active by the end of tomorrow due to a
       recurrent disturbance. The field should return to quiet to
       unsettled levels by the end of the three day forecast period.

            HF propagation conditions were normal over all regions.
       Minor signal degradation may yet be observed over the high and
       polar latitude regions during the next 48 hours, particularly
       on night-sector transpolar and transauroral circuits.
       Conditions should then improve to near-normal by 31 March or
       01 April.

NOTES:
     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.

Subject: HELP! The FCC will not issue me a ham license
To: [e-mail]

you wroTE:

: On December 18, 1993, I took an ARRL test session and earned a Technician w/HF
: license.  During the week of February 20th, other people that were at the
: December 18th test session were receiving their new licenses.  Not me!

: it will be 90 days on April 6th since the FCC has had my application.  This is
: my first ham license, I have _not_ had a ham license canceled by the FCC.  Does
: anyone have any ideas what I can do to resolve this problem and finally get
: a license?

If it's any consolation, I took my test on 23 Dec, and also have not
received my licence.  It's getting pretty frustrating, but I am also
currently time-strictened having signed up for more hours that I can
reasonably keep up with.  I posted a question about this a few days ago
(maybe a week?) and somebody said that somebody *else* mailed him in
response to his request for more information saying that he had to wait
4 months for a licence.  As I don't have any phone numbers to call and
inquire, I am forced to just sit back and wait.  Let me know if you
find out anything new!!
