To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
> Is it normal for the HTX-202 to warm up on low power as well as

Mine will warm up SLIGHTLY if I use it very heavily (an hourlong QSO).
On high power, it will of course get quite hot.
Be sure to install the supplied metal belt clip -- it's a heat sink!
You said a friend has an HT that doesn't heat on low power -- is his "low"
the same wattage as your "low"?
Regarding your power supply: I have the service manual here -- according
to the factory specs, the HTX-202 is quite forgiving when it come to input
voltage.

Subject: CW prosigns on phone (was: IDing)
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
huh??? CW? QRZ the QRZ? goin' QRT? gee... folks who actually speak
the language are the ones who determine what proper usage. I've
been a ham since 1967 and an swl for several years before that.
I think that the very first issue of QST I ever saw (circa 1964
or so) had some poor sod babbling about CW prosigns being incorrect
usage on 'phone.
Hey, common guys, give it a rest, huh? If an abbreviated version
of a word or sentence makes CW more efficient, it will likely make
'phone more efficient also - if it translates well. Heck, as near
as I can tell, the practice of using CW prosigns on 'phone actually
predates the EXISTANCE of CB. We hams did it ourselves and there's
nothing wrong with it. Those who disagree are obviously victims
of the wizzing rettysnitch and may require repeated applications
of the wouff hong to effect a cure!

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Hi all,
We just had a meeting with one of the disaster coordinators for our local PD.
They were very interested in watching us "do our thing" so we suggested a trip
to FD. Well, it turns out that a family trip to Washington State is going to
make that impossible. But they would be interested in visiting a FD site "up
north" So if there are any folks in the Raymond, Aberdeen, Westport or
associated areas please send me a bit of e-mail so I can coordinate a visit.
Thanks,
Dan

I am looking for some good audio works that describe the general

to a general class. I would also consider works available

Thanks in advance.

Subject: Looking for walkman to pull in those weak AM stations...
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Once again I petition thee, the all-knowing Internet, and appeal to thy
ultimate wisdom...
I work in Reston Virginia, which lies about 10 miles away from an AM radio
station I listen to in Maryland. This would be the one and only WPGC...
business (read infomercial :-) radio 1580. I can barely pick up WPGC
on my car radio in Reston. Inside the office building I work it's
impossible to pick up WPGC, at least on the AM/FM radio I have.
Question: Can anyone recommend a "walkman" type radio that will pick
up these weak AM stations even in office buildings from far away?
Yes, I know about the specially modified GE superradio that picks up
FM subcarriers, however this radio is a big hefty fella and has little
use outside the office.
So the bottom line is... any walkmen that are phenominally sensitive?

International Packet Youth Forum.
As you have read in the June edition of the QST on page 58, there
will is a place for young hams to meet. Unfortunately, due to my
error, some of the details were vague. The time was moved after the
article was sent to print to Sundays at 2000 CST (8 p.m. Chicago,
same as Mondays at 0100 UTC) to accommodate the young people in the
Eastern Time zone who has to get some sleep. Additionaly, the node
where I telnet into has been moved to another location, and it took
me a while to find an alternate place to telnet from, so I appologize
for not cheking in to my own forum. Now the questions has been
pouring in to me, asking can they telnet to the forum on packet.
Since all situations are different I would like all of you who has a
question in regards to telneting to the forum, or about the forum
itself to contact me on an individual bases via E-mail, Packet or my
callbook address. And also, If you have already sent me a message and
received no response, try sending another one.

CORRECTION:
YOUTH NET ON INTERNET
An item under Strays on page 51 of June QST that invited
young packet operators to join the International Youth Forum on
Saturday nights at 0200 UTC contained access instructions that had
some incorrect information. Licensed hams who operate TCP/IP packet
radio with a local Internet "gateway" (or who otherwise have access
to the Internet) should Telnet to a local AmprNet Converse Server
(port 3600; eg, telnet 44.xx.xx.xx 3600), and after logging in, go to
Channel 14. The time of the forum has been also changed to Sunday at
2000 CST, to accommodate others in other time zones. Contact Alexis

Seems you should take a bit of your own medicine, OM, since your remark
has nothing to do with the thread. It has become glaringly obvious that
you desire to be moderator of this topic, and that when someone disagrees
with your stance you retort with ``your remarks are not resolving this
issue <blah blah>...''
Reread what you said above: ``...50,000 hams within simplex range...''.
Do you realize how ridiculous you sound whining for access on repeaters
that don't want you just so you can yake at a few hundred more folks?
This entire thread is ridiculous - when you use a repeater you're using
twice the spectrum that's actually needed to carry out your communication;
you cry about spectrum management yet tie up *two* frequencies every time
you key your xmtr, when in actuality you could very well use a single
frequency to talk to that same person. You're relying on other peoples'
radios (repeaters) to radiate more-than-needed RF thus limiting other
people's use of that same frequency.
Is that person too far away to communicate via simplex? Then try a band
that suits the range: groundwave on 160M or 80M comes to mind.
