Hi there, I just talked to some ham guru and he told me that they just got theirnew computer system on line. From all that I have been reading/hearing, I figurethat these NEW forms from the FCC must have been in preparation for the new
systems arrival. The guru guy said something about just needing to train people how to use the computer and then it will take care of its self and get the
average back log down to just 6-8 weeks, but judging on how people are now
getting their licenses back so fast, I suppose the time will go faster than
that! So if we are patient we will see our licenses and upgrades back in no timeat all! GOD, I LOVE TECHNOLOGY!!!
Just my $0.02,
Justin

I was explaining to my wife last night that some hams refer to their
children as harmonics. When she asked why, I explained that, for example,
if you were transmiting a signal on 7 MHz, there'd be a harmonic at
14 MHz, then a smaller harmonic at 21 MHz, kind of like a family.
I continued to explain that with radio equiment, harmonics are bad
because they cause all kinds of unwanted interference. My wife said that
must be another reason why children are harmonics.
I thought this was terribly funny.

I'd say about $350 in nice condition. Try to find one with the CW filter
installed. They're nice radios, if you don't mind tuning up the tube-
finals of the transmitter. I operated one for years at a club station
with no problems.

I am looking for ANY xNOS that will run under FreeBSD 1.1. I have
an Internet connection and I am interested setting up a NOS port
for my TNC.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Matt asks:
Can anybody help me out? I am looking for information
on speed detection radar that the police use. Specifically, doplar
radar. I would like information on accuracy. If you have done any
tests or know someone who has and could help me, I would greatly
appriciate it.
So tell us Matt, just where did you get the ticket, and how fast were you
