You mean he didn't say "QRZ the Line!" first?
Vail apparently replied "Go away, I have been using this line for the
last 3 hrs and I always use it at this time of day, find another one,
you jerk".
Morse not only gave us his (or somebody else's) code, but his middle

it HAMs) worldwide, in his memory.

These antennas (at least the Larson Glass Mount) are fine business in my
opinion. As I previously stated, it really depends on the tinting material
used in the glass. If you have tinted glass, it might be wise to check with
the antenna mfg first. Mine worked on my Ford Pickup with non-tinted glass
as well as my 5/8 mag mount. When I transferred it to my Explored that has
some sort of tinting at the top part of the glass, it didn't work nearly as
well (ie 2.3:1 vs 1.2:1 on the pickemup). It is worth the effort to check
on the glass, IMHO, because there is no drilling and it provides a sanitary
installation.

Well I have one by Lakeview (Ham Sticks People). Easiest thing to mount, and
comes with the wrench and a plastic alignment tool.. in case you need them. The
quality of the materials is EXCELLENT.. the antenna works VERY well.. blows the
doors off the 1/4 wave mag mount I have been using. I checked the SWR.. almost
1:1 on most of the repeater I use.. and the worst at the bottom edge was 1.1:1.
The SWR readings were with NO TUNING... just stuck the antenna on...

"AMSAT pronsors three mailing list on the Internet. The most widely
subscribed is called amsat-bb and it is a general bulletin board and

Subject: Field Day!
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Hello everyone! I am thinking about Field Day comming up and I have a
few ???'s. I have been into ham radio for 4 months with my general class
license. I have a Yaesu FT301AD and I was thinking about running my own FD
site.
The problem is that I can't afford a generator, and I have verry little
experience with putting antennas up in the middle of a field or what ever the
terrain may be.
I have a 100' long wire, a 10 meter vertical (converted 11m vert), and
soon to be 20m dipole. And a MFJ tuner.
I have thought of running my rig with the car bateries, just plop the
radio in the right seat. (But remaining in the same spot at all times).
Would the car approach work or would the 15 amp radio suck my battery
dry in no time? PLEASE HELP! I really want to go for some real points, and I
personally think comercial power is not as challenging.

Why on EARTH do you need to run 100 watts? You get 1 or 2 points for over
150 watts, 2 or 4 for 6-150 watts, and 5 or 10 for <5 watts. I find it a
heck of a lot more challenging to run 5 watts and see just what I can do.
And the installation of antennas in a tree is what it's really about.
Remove your car battery, take the radio off somewhere, put up a tent,
throw up the antennas, and have a good time (maybe good to not be alone,
as well).
I managed roughly 130 QSO's (all but 5 on CW) last year and got 1300+
points out of it. At the 100 watt level, you'd need 325 Q's to get the
same point total. And nearly 100% of my operation was on 80 meters, as
I hadn't cut a dipole for 20 (but I will this year).
YES, 15 amps will NOT do well for your car battery. But run QRP, and
your fresh car battery might just get you through the whole 24-hour
period. You'd be surprised just what an effect a good antenna system
can have.
The U of MD club (W3EAX) used to do FD's with a vengeance. We mounted
tribanders on a couple of really big (100') light towers in this public
park that allowed us to stay overnight. And then we built this 80m
log periodic, with something like 22 elements (never got it to work,
though). But it was sure a lot of fun running the pileups on 15 and 20
on just 5 watts (i.e. we WERE the station people were piling up FOR!),
and to just hear the reaction when we said we were running 5 watts to
a tribander at 100 feet...
That was the year I worked Hawaii on 15 CW around 8 p.m. local time.
Boy, was that fun.

Hold Health and Welfare Traffic
Greg Pool WH6DT
During a disaster, we hear many Amateur Radio stations passing welfare
traffic. It's the easiest traffic to pass, there's no time limit and it
is the most visible part of emergency communications.
Many times an operator will sit on a 40 or 20 m frequency specifically
because they have everything set up for a phone patch into a specific
area of the country. Sometimes operators are given free long distance
accounts to place those calls. Everyone can hear the anguish in the
voices over the phone and the caller thanking the operator over and over
for their dedication and service.
That kind of instant gratification can be intoxicating for the rest of
the Amateur Community, to the point of passing welfare traffic without
considering the consequences. From my own experience in disaster
communications, most welfare traffic is supportive but not necessary.
In fact holding on to that initial query will probably get you an answer
faster than if you had actually sent it.
Incoming vs Outgoing
Let's divide it up. There's INCOMING welfare traffic, where a party
sends a message to a party within the disaster area; and there's
OUTGOING, where the party within the disaster sends a message to the
outside.
What does it take to run an outgoing message? It takes an operator in
the disaster area and anybody on the outside willing to pass it.
Usually there are more than enough volunteers to do help deliver it.
But incoming is much more intensive. Not only does the operator on the
inside accept the traffic, they either finds a runner or run it
themselves. Rarely are either of those choices viable options. You
cannot leave your station, the person next to you already has 20 things
to do, and the phone lines must be left open for civilian and civic
disaster relief agencies.
Thus, incoming welfare traffic is a luxury. The victim will get word
out eventually, even originate their own outgoing message. If they are
dead, they are dead; your messages will not help them. If they are
injured, then a disaster relief agency will attend to them; but if you
are a thousand miles away, what more can you do? By sending that
message, you tax the relief effort even more.
We Were Not Thinking
The Amateur Radio response to the Northridge Earthquake in Los Angeles
was replete with bad habits. Many Amateur Radio operators sent and
accepted incoming welfare traffic on many of the HF nets and packet;
there were very few "outgoing-only" nets. In the San Francisco Bay
Area, one Amateur Radio operator provided his phone number to a local TV
station so that people could contact him for incoming welfare traffic.
We were not thinking beyond just being on the air. We were not thinking
about what it took to pass that traffic in the disaster area. We were
not thinking about what passing incoming traffic took away from those in
need.
Many of the stations accepting the incoming traffic used local phone
lines to contact the disaster parties, and in the first few days the
success rate was terrible. In doing so, however, it meant that someone
who had emergency or priority traffic could not use the phone because it
was being tied up needlessly.
It is a matter of precedence and responsibilitiy. The best thing you
can do is not originate or accept any incoming welfare messages in the
first week after disaster. There's usually nothing the sending party
can do anyway except wait or sponsor a disaster relief agency. Why tie
up the network needlessly?
Instead, stand by to originate and accept outgoing messages. You will
not handle as much traffic, and I may not hear (or see) your callsign as
often, but you will have freed up an operator in a disaster area to
become part of the solution and not part of the problem.

Well sure, that's Canada. Here in the US we still have the tatters
of a Bill of Rights. In a nearby local town they ran a vicious
speed trap. A farmer put up a sign just outside the city limits that
read, "Warning, speed trap ahead run by local parasites." They took
him to court trying to get it taken down, but they lost. The truth
is still a defense in this country.
It's not illegal to talk on the radio about any cop you see.
Our traffic reporters do it all the time. And it's not illegal
to follow cops around and photograph them in action, our photographers
do it all the time. Their activities are public, and hence in the
public domain.

Aother Story:
------------
This one isn't about weirdos or any thing .... but at a test session
some time ago, there was an 83 year-old ham who came in to sit for
his 20 wpm cw test. The "lead" CW examiner was actually a "neighbor"
of his. Anyway, the old fellow was very nervous and used a combination
of cursive and printed characters in his writing. He passed only
6 of the 10 questions, so I sat down and counted letters. His writing
was pretty awful, but the "third" CW VE and I went thru letter-by-
letter and counted them. It wasn't easy .... but we counted something
like 120 letters in a row. Unfortunately, the "lead" VE could not
make the same count ... nor were two other VEs who were called over
to look at the handwritten copy. So, now we had 5 VEs, with the
first two saying "yes" and the other three saying "no".
The key problem came down to a word like "KLM" or something.
He had even re-written the word to "try" and make it clearer - but...
The "three 'no' VEs" said he had printed a "KLK". I said -
no way BECAUSE - the two supposed "K"s didn't look like each
other. I explained that a "K" is written with only 3 strokes
of the pen - using shapes like: | / \ and the letter
"M" MUST have 4 strokes of the pen (which the examinee did have)
using: | \ / |.
Anyway, the VE coordinater refused and had the three "NO" VEs take
responsibility for the examinee's 610. After the session, I
wrote a letter to the VEC and explained my contention
that the examinee had actually "passed" and that his written
copy should be reviewed again ... using my argument of the
3 versus 4 strokes of the pen to make an "M".
Bottom line .... the VEC came back and "recommended" that the
old fellow had indeed passed and that the original "third"
VE and the two of us who said "yes" should sign off on his
CSCE. We did and it all worked out for the best.
Actually, it may be possible that the examinee, due to his
advanced years (much less his nervousness) may not have been
able to write "clearly" as demanded by some of the VEs.
I almost wondered if that guy would have had a case for an
age-discrimination lawsuit (arrghhhh). Anyway, alls well that
ends well.
