There exists an old telegraph myth (I can't verify it) that 73 was a
shorthand version of "Good Code" meaning that the other guy was sending
good code. It was normally sent at the end of a contact. Is it just
a coincidence that "G" is the 7th letter of the alphabet and "C" is
the 3rd?

Yes, and thanks, Ken. SO the chemistry is different, that helps me. I

Subject: AR 'etiquette'
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Can someone give help me find some good books on Amateur Radio
'etiquette'??
I have an electrial engineering degree and I am an Army Signal Corps
officer, so I have a strong interest in radio. Many of the books I get
from HAMFests are technical in nature and procedural about getting your
license. I have not seen anything of substance about 'etiquette', but
it seems that the 'old dogs' on the air insist on making people live by
it... I understand the FCC regs pertaining to signal strength, freq
usage, callsigns, etc., but where does it talk about the proper use of
'73' and the 'nuances' behind 2m operation??
I throughly enjoy my hobbies, but there's nothing less disheartening
than hearing from someone who says "This is how it's really done" in a
vindictive tone like you should have known better. So, to help me (and
possibly others) get off on the right foot, please direct me to a source
of all the written (and unwritten) rules of AR etiquette and courtesy...
Thank you very much in advance!

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
I was talking to the local ARRL VEC coordinator yesterday evening on 2M.
He informed me that the FCC is rewriting the software which prints
technician licenses to indicate whether or not the technician has
passed the code test or not.
The reason for this is so that a technician will not have to keep
both a certificate of completion and a copy of the license in order
to use HF band privilages or to receive the 5 wpm credit when it comes
time to upgrade.
Thus, a cause of the ticket delays.
Thought that those waiting might want to hear this information.

I just called the FCC to find out what the status of my license application
was (it's now 12 weeks, 4 days, and 2 hrs. since my test). The FCC person
checked and informed me that my call had not yet been issued. She also
told me the wait was 12-14 weeks.
Got the impression that they have been getting a lot of calls lately...

Good morning. It's Sunday the 19th of June and here is the GB2RS news
broadcast, prepared by the Radio Society of Great Britain.
First the headlines:
Your views are invited on the future of amateur satellites, We want to
hear from you if you've suffered interference from modern fluorescent
lights, and Sporadic E is forecast for ten and six this week.
There's an opportunity in July to influence the future of the Amateur
Satellite Service. The IARU has appointed an ad hoc committee to canvass
the opinion of individuals and organizations involved in the amateur
satellite service and to report back to the Administrative Council in
early September. The committee wishes to canvass the issues raised by
the service, from the point of view of facilities provided, the users
and potential users, as well as addressing the benefits and potential
benefits to amateur radio in general. The identification of the future
needs of the satellite service, particularly spectrum allocation and
regulatory aspects is essential.
Two members of this international committee, VE3CDM and ZS5AKV, will
attend the AMSAT-UK Colloquium at the University of Surrey in July and
facilities have been provided for any radio amateur to attend a full
discussion which will take place on Thursday the 28th of July at 7pm. No
charges will be made for attendance at this meeting, but it is important
for all attendees to obtain a Security Pass and Car Parking Pass before
Friday the 22nd of July. Anyone who is interested in attending should
send a self-addressed stamped envelope as soon as possible to: AMSAT-UK,
London E12 5EQ. {Newsreaders, this is a complete address}.
The EMC Committee of the Radio Society of Great Britain would like to
hear from anyone who has suffered interference from any of the new types
of fluorescent lighting which have become available recently,
particularly if the installation includes a dimmer. If you can help,
please contact the committee chairman Robin Page-Jones, G3JWI, whose
address is correct in the RSGB Call Book.
An RSGB Microwave Round Table meeting takes place today, Sunday the
19th, at the Crawley Amateur Radio Club premises, Pease Pottage, near
Crawley, West Sussex. The event is organised by the RSGB Southern
Microwave Group and commences at 10am. The attractions include technical
talks, calibration and alignment facilities, and the usual round table
discussions on current matters of interest. All are welcome.
The callsign GB5GS will be aired from the Goodwin Sands on Thursday
evening, the 23rd of June, by members of the East Kent Radio Society.
This will be a new WAB square for many because it is normally under
water. Operation, on the 80 and 40 metre bands, will be from
approximately 6.30pm to 8pm, depending on the tide.
The Science Museum station, GB2SM, in London, will be running low power
on the 3.5MHz band today, looking especially for contacts with Novices.
They will also operate on 21 and 432MHz.
The largest rally in Europe takes place this week at Friedrichshafen in
southern Germany. The RSGB will be amongst the several British
exhibitors at the event.
The Educational group STELAR - Science and Technology through
Educational Links with Amateur Radio - will hold its first on-air
activity day, from 1600 UTC next Thursday the 23rd for 24 hours. A
control station from Harrogate Ladies College will be on the air using
GB2SR and GB2HC. Packet will also be used and messages may be sent to
G0HCA at GB7CYM. The group welcomes contacts with any station but is
looking for as many contacts as possible with other schools and
colleges. Skeds with GB2SR can be arranged by calling the shack direct
on 0423 522285 over the period of operation.
Now some items of HF DX news from the weekly RSGB DX News Sheet which is

Waah, Waah, Waah. {:-)
Sorry to be so cynical but this is one thread that keeps going and going and going .......
Fact is VECs are volunteer organizations and the FCC is a government agency.
You know, I'm from the government and I'm here to help you. Right.
Ham licenses are a very small part of what the FCC does. As a matter of
fact I'm sure it is a very small and low priority responsibility of theirs. However, all is
not doom and gloom. Things are getting better. With the VE program you can take an
exam within an hour of your home on just about any given week. Not to dwell on the
past, but I used to have to make an 1.5-2 hour trip to Chicago to take the exam on any
Tuesday or Friday morning. Kind of tough when you are 15 and still in school and don't
have a license much less a car. So availability has gotten better. Comparing the
volume of 610s that the FCC goes through today compared to 1979, I would have
to say that they are doing better because my 1979 license took 16 weeks.
Now that the FCC is going computerized it should be an even quicker turnaround
with instant licensing just around the corner. So be patient and remember that our
goverment isn't a fast one and it isn't slow, but kinda half fast if you know what I mean.
Bear with it and I bet your license won't lose any of it's attraction when you finally do get it.
In fact you will cherish it all the more.

And now the solar factual data:
The period from the 6th to the 12th of June has seen an increase in spot
indices, solar flux and X-ray levels. Despite this, general solar
activity remains very low. A flare was reported on the 7th - a B2.8/SF
flare which is very small, but it has had a beneficial effect.
Unfortunately magnetic coronal hole activity has affected northern
stations in particular. It was not all gloom, however. Sporadic E has
been widespread on both 6 and 10 metres most days.
The sunspot indices meaned at 43 units, but had reached 87 on the 11th.
Solar flux levels rose slightly from 71 units on the 6th up to 86 by the
12th, giving an average of 81 units for the period. The 90-day mean flux
level on the 12th was 81 units. The geomagnetic Ap indices have mainly
been at sub storm levels due to the passage of coronal holes, and
averaged 17.5 units. Levels varied from 9 on the 9th up to 27 by the
12th. The major disturbances were at northern latitudes. The state has
been 'nil nothing to report'. The aa indices, as supplied by the British
Geological Survey for the 31st May to the 6th of June, averaged 40.5
nanoTeslas for the period. Day to day levels hardly changed, there being
no quiet or disturbed periods. The X-Ray flux levels have increased very
considerably, rising from A1.6 on the 6th up to A9.0 by the 12th. The
average was A6.6 for the period. The Electron Fluence is still very high
being 2.7+8 on the 12th. Until this declines by at least two orders of
magnitude, ionospheric F level conditions will remain poor.
I'll repeat the figures. Spots - 43; Flux - 81; Ap index - 17.5; X-ray
flux - A6.6.
Now the ionospheric data for Central France:
The F2 daytime critical frequencies at Poitiers, as reported by Meudon,
for the period the 3rd to the 9th of June, averaged 6.2MHz. Day to day
levels have not changed much. The highs are now between 19.00 to 21.00
hours and are continuing to decline due to the seasonal changes. The
darkness hour lows averaged 3.4MHz, though they varied from 2.9MHz up to
4.2MHz over the period; the lows are now centred about 04.00 hours.
I'll repeat the figures. Highs - 6.2MHz; lows - 3.4MHz.
Now the ionospheric data for the north:
The F2 daytime critical frequencies at Ekaterinberg averaged 5.3MHz and
the darkness hour lows 3.0MHz. Difficulty has been experienced with some
readings due to the magnetic storms when only the F1 layer was
detectable.
I'll repeat the figures: Highs - 5.3MHz; lows - 3.0MHz.
And lastly the solar forecast:
This week the more active side of the sun will be rotating away; solar
flux levels are expected to be about the 75s. Geomagnetic activity is
expected to increase as the week goes by and could be up to storm levels
by the 26th with possible aurora at northern latitudes. Ionospheric
levels in the south during daylight are expected to reach 21MHz, and
14MHz for the darkness hours. Northern stations could be well down on
these levels due to the expected geomagnetic activity. Sporadic E is now
at its peak and both 6 and 10 metres could give widespread contacts
throughout Europe almost any day.
And that's the end of the solar information.
Finally in the main news, SSL has informed the Society that as of last
Wednesday morning, the latest callsigns issued were in the G0 Uniform
Yankee and G7 Sierra Kilo series, and Novice calls in the 2 0 Alpha Inda
and 2 1 Delta Charlie series.
