[Publishers Note]
   Hello fellow Newsline readers.  When I took over the hardcopy
 publishing of Newsline from Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, I continued
 the number from where he left off, which was #24 as I recall.
   Starting with this issue we are realigning the numbering scheme
 on the Hardcopy version of Newsline to that of the Audio version.
 That being #884 for this week of July 22nd.  This should help to
 eliminate the confusion that has happened from time to time.
   Thanks for your patience.  If I can be of any assistance you
 can contact me at:

                     The following is a QST

   The FCC orders more retests as its probe of possible fraud in
 the All Volunteer ham radio testing program continues.  President
 Bill Clinton's motorcade is jammed in Naples, Italy and SAREX
 STS-65 is on orbit and on the air.  These stories and more on
 Newsline report number 884 coming your way right now!

(*****
                MORE RETESTS IN CAL VE FRAUD CASE

   Some fifty nine people previously tested by a group of suspect
 volunteer examiners have been ordered to be retested or face
 administrative sanctions.  This is the latest word coming from the
 FCC in the wake of its ongoing probe into alleged fraud and
 corruption in ham radio testing in California.
   Word of the retests was announced by FCC Personal Radio Branch
 Chief John B. Johnston, W3BE.  Speaking at the annual meeting
 with the nations Volunteer Examination Coordinators on June 24th,
 Johnston said that twenty examines have had their examination
 credits totally invalidated in addition to the fifty nine ordered
 to retest.  W3BE told the VEC's that there was definite evidence
 that at twenty five California test session the commission knows
 about so far, applicants were given answers to the Morse Code test
 message prior to testing.  As a result the retesting was ordered.
 As we go to air only three people who have been re-examined have
 received passing grades.
   Johnston has also made public a few other pieces of evidence
 collected in the probe.  According to John, one Volunteer Examiner
 allegedly administered examinations at two different locations on
 the same day, and traveling as much as seventy miles one-way
 between test sessions.  W3BE says that the FCC has determined
 beyond any doubt that one of the sessions never actually took
 place.  Even more incriminating, the FCC appears to have solid
 evidence that only seven people were actually examined at the
 second session even though the VE's proctoring the test claimed
 the number tested on site was twenty-two.  This lends a lot of
 credibility to our report two weeks ago that much of the alleged
 fraud was accomplished by manipulating the paperwork going to the
 various VEC's.
   About the only thing not yet made public are the names and
 call signs of the suspect VE's, but this too may soon change.  At
 least one major ham radio publication is known to have a copy of
 the list of VE's that are under government scrutiny.  We hear
 that entire list plus the names of some suspect applicants may be
 appearing in print worldwide within the next few weeks.

(*****
                  MORE TESTING FRAUD ANNOUNCED

   California is not the only place where ham radio testing fraud
 is taking place.  In a related matter, Johnston also told the VEC
 Conference that government investigators have cracked two other
 licensing cheating cases.  In a Texas incident a non ham actually
 assumed the identity of a deceased radio amateur to certify test
 results for applicants who never even attended a test session.  In
 that case the Contact VE -- that's the person who sets up test
 sessions in a given region -- the Contact VE has already
 surrendered his license to the FCC.  Twenty four applicants at
 the test session have had their fraudulently obtained licenses
 canceled as well.
   Also, an Technician Class ham in Kansas has had his license
 suspended for a year.  This, after the FCC found that he had
 tried to bribe a Volunteer Examination Coordinator in order to
 obtain an upgrade.  At airtime, the FCC has not yet released this
 hams call sign or name.

(*****
               PRESIDENT CLINTON JAMMED IN ITALY

   Radio communications for a Naples Italy motorcade for President
 Bill Clinton have been maliciously jammed.  According to news
 reports, the incident occurred when President Clinton arrived for
 the Group of Seven summit in the port city of Naples on Thursday
 night July 7th.
   The Italian news agency ANSA quoted police sources as saying
 that while Clinton's motorcade was traveling from the airport to
 his waterfront hotel, an unknown voice repeatedly broke into
 police radio communications with what it authorities called
 "vulgar expressions."
   The sources said the jammer interrupted communications between
 Italian and U.S. security agents to express his views on the
 Americans and the police.  No details of the insults was given but
 the news agency noted that Clinton did not hear them.  Naples
 authorities also admit that they have little or no hope of finding
 out who the foul mouthed jammer is.

(*****
                     CHECK YOUR LICENSE DATE

   The American Radio Relay League advises that amateurs receiving
 new or modified FCC licenses dated June 8th or later should
 carefully note their expiration date.  This is because only new,
 first licenses or specific renewals now carry a full 10-year term.
   With new computer software recently installed, the FCC is now
 processing amateur permits to conform with to the way in which it
 processes all other Private Radio Service licenses.  As a result,
 Amateur license upgrades, changes of address, call sign, or name
 changes are processed with the original expiration date intact.
 That is, they are not automatically extended for another 10 years
 as has been the case in years past.
   The FCC currently recommends that amateurs submit license
 renewal applications 60 to 90 days before their expiration date.
 The Commission says that it intends eventually to mail license
 expiration notices to amateurs but that program is not yet in
 place.  In the meantime, the ARRL is sending license expiration
 notices to its members, along with an FCC Form 610 and a return
 envelope to the FCC's licensing division in Gettysburg,
 Pennsylvania.  The W5YI VEC is doing the same for the general ham
 public but does charge a nominal fee for filing paperwork back to
 the FCC.

(*****
             INTERFERENCE FROM CORPS OF ENGINEERS

   The FCC reports that its San Francisco Office recently
 received a call from the Veteran's Administration Hospital in
 nearby Martinez complaining of interference to hospital security
 communications.  At the same time, they received a complaint that
 a similar pulse noise was interrupting communications at the U.S.
 Customs Service Office on Mt. Taltamalpais, CA.  So FCC engineers
 using their mobile direction finding equipment went out and
 tracked the source of interference.  And guess what they found.
 The culprit was a geographic positioning transmitter used by the
 Corps of Engineers in a dredging operation that no government
 authorization to operate.  It was ordered to cease its operation
 immediately.  It did.  Case closed.

(*****
                    US-RUSSIA SHUTTLE PACT

   Word that Russian and American amateurs who flew aboard the
 space shuttle Discovery on last winters STS-60 mission benefited
 from temporary third party and reciprocal operating agreements
 finalized just before lift-off.
   On February 3 the US Department of State and the Russian
 Ministry of Post and Telecommunications each approved the
 temporary arrangements, which allowed cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev,
 U5MIR, to contact, on February 6, the House of Science and
 Technology for Youth, in Moscow.
   The contact was retransmitted in Russia on HF and VHF,
 according to the ARRL SAREX Working Group.
   After the Russian Ministry of Post and Telecommunications and
 the US State Department approved the arrangements, it still was
 necessary to obtain a Special Temporary Authorization from the
 FCC.  The ARRL contacted the FCC's Personal Radio Branch, and the
 STA was granted on February 4th.
   Permanent reciprocal operating and third party agreements
 between the US and Russia have been in negotiations for several
 years.

(*****
                            HAITI

   As reported in many D-X newsletters, two hams were recently in
 Haiti on assignment for various news agencies.  One of them was
 Alan Kaul, W6RCL of NBC Network News.  This is the same W6RCL who
 for many years anchored Newsline.  Alan operated with an Icom high
 frequency transceiver, antenna tuner and all-band long wire
 antenna.  The other ham in Haiti was Bill Howard, N4MU of CNN,
 who was also running 100 watts on SSB.

(*****
                   UK HAMS SAY NO TO NO CODE

   British Amateurs are opposed to a code-free amateur license
 with High Frequency operating privileges.  This according to a
 recent informal survey of United Kingdom hams.
   By way of background, the current UK Class B license, with
 privileges only on 50 MHz and above, is code-free while the Class
 A license requires a 12 wpm Morse Code exam.  In 1992 the British
 Radiocommunications Agency asked the Radio Society of Great
 Britain to conduct a "consultation exercise," a survey.  Through
 articles in its journal, Radio Communications, and other British
 Amateur Radio publications, readers were asked to express their
 opinion on the subject.
   Out of 60,000 U.K. licensed amateurs, 1,413 responded,
 including 86 from "overseas".  By a 2 to 1 margin the respondents
 opposed a code-free HF license.  The RSGB said that with the
 world-wide amateur community expanding at some 7 percent per year,
 some method is needed to restrict access to the HF bands, which
 they say are already are very crowded and unlikely to expand.
   British hams also say if the current method of restriction, the
 Morse Code, is eliminated for High Frequency operation then some
 other "filter" to limit numbers of operators should be found.

                      DX-SCARBOROUGH REEF

   In DX, after being delayed a day due to bad weather, the
 Scarborough Reef BS7H DXpedition hit the air waves on June 25th.
 Several sources in Japan say the DXpedition was only active from
 09:00 to 23:00 UTC and then went QRT.  They made around 2000 QSO's
 in which none of the contacts were made on CW because they did not
 bring a keyer.
   In a related matter, New England Division DXAC Representative
 Bill Shipp, KC1AG, reports that DK9KX has withdrawn his petition
 for new country status for Scarborough Reef.  No reason was given.

(*****
                         PETER I VIDEO

   Also, another new ham radio video on DXing has been announced.
 "Journey to Peter I Island: Close to the Edge" is a 30 minute
 documentary on this dangerous and exciting DXpedition through the
 Falkland Islands, the Drake Passage and onto Peter I Island.  The
 video shows enormous icebergs, animal and marine life, massive
 Antarctic storms and how the DXpedition team was able to make
 almost 60,000 QSOs.  The documentary was produced professionally
 from 12 hours of videotape shot by Terry Dubson, W6MHB.  A
 donation to obtain the show is required.  Those that are
 interested in this documentary can contact Jerry Branson, AA6BB,
 93787 Dorsey Lane, Junction City, Oregon, 97448.

           NEW FCC COMMISSIONER SEES LITTLE BUT C-SPAN

   The new FCC commissioner Susan Ness has described herself as a
 "C-SPAN junkie" who does not regularly watch commercial TV.  Ness,
 speaking to reporters at an informal briefing in her office, said
 there is "nothing that I watch specifically every week" on
 commercial TV.  Nevertheless, she said the Federal Communications
 Commission needs to insist that broadcasters "strive for better
 programming" so long as the First Amendment rights of station
 owners are protected.
   Ness' disinterest in commercial TV fare stands in stark
 contrast to Rachel Chong, the other new FCC member who is a
 confessed "Star Trek" addict.

I'm building a new house and have selected a second floor location

I know this has been hashed over here before, but I didn't save

I've always found that a piece of PVC piping, 1" or so in diameter, angled
down at each end, ie:

            Wall
             ||
Outside   /------\  Shack
             ||

This helps prevent moisture from getting inside the house, and provides you
with sufficient feedthru for several pieces of coax. If you get a piece
of foam rubber you can stick it in the pvc piping to provide a level
of insulation if you live in a cold-climate area.

Text item: Text_1

Sometime ago someone posted a half-truth about the Ramsey SlyFox hidden
transmitter. He said that the SlyFox didn't meet FCC specs according to
a review in 73 magazine. In the interest of truth and fairness here are
the facts from the 73 magazine article.

The poster's information was mostly incorrect. Quoting from the
article, "... the level of the second harmonic was only 16 dB below
that of the fundamental, much higher than allowed by the FCC". But
this was _BEFORE THE UNIT WAS TUNED PROPERLY_ and the article itself
says, "Any home-built transmitter... must be tuned up properly."

A clue that the unit was not tuned properly was its low power output.
Quoting again, "But when I spread the turns on the kit unit... and
retuned the final capacitor, power increased dramatically... The second,
third, and fourth harmonics of the kit now measure -70, -50, and -70 dB
respectively, _EASILY_ satisfying FCC requirements. All spurious
emissions are better than 54 dB below the carrier..."  (emphasis mine)
Every kit builder should have a wattmeter and a dummy load,(available
from Radio Shack).

In the 50's, it was a rare ham who didn't wind his own coils and
everyone knew the coils might have to be adjusted for proper operation.
It is a sad day in ham radio when kit-builders complain that they
shouldn't have to pinch or spread coils that they had to wind for a kit.
If you can't achieve resonance in a final by adjusting the capacitor,
then you must adjust the coil... an extremely simple concept. Should a
kit manual also be required to teach the physics that hams are supposed
to know in order to pass their ham tests?

I cant see a reason why it isnt used elsewhere...i think the keyword
is that it makes it easier to use repeaters anywhere, i mean, you
dont have to know which ctcss freq to use...just enter the right
frequency, push tone button, and there you go...and even if you
didnt know the right frequency it makes only eight tries (on 2m)
to go through all repeater frequencies (145.600-145.775)...well 16
channels on 70cm, but i find it anyway a bit easier when compared
with trying different ctcss freqs on all rpt freqs :)

BTW: i heard that there are also carrier-operated repeaters, at
least in Australia. I think it might cause problems, because of
all QRM on the air, the repeater would be "on" every now and then
even if nobody was trying to use it...thats why _some_ selective
calling is essential!

Luis,

In case nobody else tells you,  check QST magazine for the times and
frequencies for the W1AW code practice.  The schedule will tell you
what speeds are being sent.

Good luck, you can do it.

A good idea overall, but what if you have taken a hint from the other
ongoing thread in this group, and are DXing in the nude?
