To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Thanks to all who replied. Judging by the number of responses over a 24 hr
period, I seem to have pressed a hot button with a lot of people. I read
97.111 (Authorized Transmissions) and 97.113 (Prohibited transmissions)
and then posted my question because I didn't see non-emergency cross-service
communications specifically allowed or disallowed. Anyway, I will look for
other solutions. I just wish I could inspire my dad to want to get his ticket.

The former. Use the appropriate call for the frequency you're on. If you
use your ham call on a marine frequency you'll be operating out of band
(i.e., illegally ...), & v.v.

Hi Mark,
How are things at old PU? (I'm assuming that you are the same Mark Connor
that was there in ATMS when I worked there.) I don't have a specific answer
to your question, but I might know where you can find one. The back issues of
Home Power magazine are archived at the FTP site sunsite.unc.edu somewhere
under /pub/academic/environment/alternative-energy/energy-resources. HP has
lots of good info on batteries, solar power, wind power, etc. Most of the
people that write for HP are hams, and much of the info is useful to hams that
are interested emergency power.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------
Solar activity continued very low. Region 7762 (N05W10),
the sole spotted region, was quiet and stable.
Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
very low.
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet for another day. A recurrent disturbance,
likely related to a coronal hole, is due August 10.
Event probabilities 09 aug-11 aug
Class M 01/01/01
Class X 01/01/01
Proton 01/01/01
PCAF Green
Geomagnetic activity probabilities 09 aug-11 aug

Minor Storm 05/20/20
Major-Severe Storm 01/10/10
B. High Latitudes
Active 15/50/50
Minor Storm 10/30/30
Major-Severe Storm 01/10/10
HF propagation conditions have remained normal. Normal
conditions will continue through 09 August inclusive. On 10 or
11 August, a recurrent disturbance may produce minor signal
degradation over the high and polar latitude paths. Some
middle latitude night-sector circuits could also be affected on
11 August. Otherwise, near-normal propagation will continue.

Subject: Help! How to Improve my CW Speed?
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
I posted my article a couple of days ago, and Jim, WA6SDN, thought that
it was a joke. I just wanted to let everyone know that it is not a
joke, and that I am dead serious! I will summarize my question again.
I am having difficulty going over 30 WPM. I can copy solid at 25 WPM.
I suspect that one of my problems might be that I can not "copy behind"
or "copy in my head." I know that these skills are important, but
I am not sure how I can develop them when I operate under the heavy
QRM, QRN, and QSB. The band conditions have been very unfavorable
lately, and I tend to write down everything so that I can figure out
what is sent later even if I miss some letters here and there.
I should also add that I do not have my own rig. I only use the rig
of my radio club, and I use it only once a week. So the overall situation
is not very favorable, either. I am still working very hard to improve
my CW speed, and managed to reach 25 WPM level a couple of months ago,
but I guess I then hit a plateau. If anybody (either experienced or
non-experienced, hams or non-hams) has any suggestions or advice for
my improving CW speed, I will be truly grateful. My E-mail address is
ys@isr.harvard.edu. Thanks.

Unless you are using the new 2 piece N-connectors which have
a center pin sufficient for 9913.
The new 2 piece N connectors have the pin already attached
to the housing. You solder through a hole in the pin to
attach the center conductor to the pin, then solder through
the body holes to connect the shield to the body, like a
standard PL-259.
They are great.

David Jenkins (djenkins@jetson.uh.edu) wrote:
: I took my Technician written tests Saturday (passed--yay!),: Anyway, here are my questions: should I continue with Farnsworth method?
Congratulations, see you on the air in a few months.
: If so, what are the recommended speeds for initial learning?
Anything OVER 17wpm. That's the "speed of fluency" (the speed where it
sounds like one "word" instead of seperate sounds) for most people.
I had been trying to learn code for almost 30 years. I had tried all
sorts of tapes, programs, etc, finaly I found a package called "Code
Quick". With Code Quick, I went from barely 3 words a minute, a 30%
score on the 5 wpm test to 100% score and over 2 minutes of perfect
copy. If the examiners had kept the door closed to the room (I
disctract easily), I would have had close to 100%. This took me about
10 weeks of study and practice. My son (aged 12) is copying 100% at
4wpm and doing fairly well (but not 100%) at 6wpm in 6 weeks. He even
likes the code.
: Oh, and one last thing: are there better PC Morse learning programs than
: Morse Tutor? If so, can you give me titles and possible sources? Thanks for
: your help and advice. I really want ot learn code, but like everyone else, I
: want to make the process as painless as possible.
There is a program that works with code quick (costs extra), it has
helped my son with the learning drills and games and helped me with the
random words.
I found that the best way to pick up speed (for me) is to Jerry Ziliak,
KB6MT's, high speed code course (farnsworth speed = 20wpm, starts at
3wpm, at 15wpm it switches to a farnsworth speed of 23 wpm) but I was
totaly wasting my time until I took the Code Quick course first.
His course is designed to start out with no knowledge, but initialy it did
not work for me. For you it may work.
Listening to random words and w1aw bullitens also helps. Listening to
QSOs rarley does as many novices send code very sloppily and you become
frustrated.
Always spend some time practicing at a word rate higher than what you
can copy. For example, if you can copy at 3wpm, spend some time at
5wpm, if you copy at 5, spend time at 7wpm, etc.
Expect to practice at least an hour a day. If you feel that your brain
has "fried", or you are stuck, take a break, but spend a total of at
least an hour a day.
73,
Geoff.

ISSUE #9
** NEW: Personal MUF/LUF Propagation Chart Generation
** NEW: Number's Station Info via Mike Chase
A catalog of hypertext links to FTP, GOPHER, and WWW files and services
for the Shortwave Listener and Radio enthusiast is now on-line. This issue
includes links to broadcaster schedules, digital audio files, graphics,
mediumwave, shortwave, FM, Ham Radio, FCC, and other files associated with
radio.
IMPROVED HYPERTEXT FAQS
Ralph Brandi's FAQ material in hypertext form has been upgraded and is NOW
available on this WWW server! In addition, over 100 hypertext links (and still
growing) are listed. These include direct links to Shortwave, AM, and FM
broadcasters, Solar reports and images, Free Radio Berkeley, audio files,
ham radio info and much more. All these available with a click of your mouse
via NCSA's Mosaic (return key for NCSA lynx users).
The URL to put in your hotlist/bookmark file:

I have a WWW MUF/LUF tool based on "micromuf.bas" on-line! Fill out your
location, transmitter location, and sun-spot info (links to solar info for
the day, week and month available from the web page.) and an ASCII, WWW, or

this interactive World Wide Web form.
Toward the Future
If you have a site or know of a site that maintains up-to-date information
on radio topics, send me e-mail.
If your club would like to participate, (provide program schedules, club
events, maintain files on individual broadcasters, etc.), send me e-mail.
If you are a radio broadcaster and have internet ftp files, gophers or WWW
servers with program schedules, audio-on-demand files, or other information
to share, send me e-mail.
I am also looking for UNIX software programs that could create propagation
information in graphic form (GIF, JPEG, ???) that would be adapted to use WWW
forms to send the graphic to the WWW user. If you know of a tool (read free
program), send me e-mail.
My thanks to Jay Novello for providing his public access WWW server and to
Ralph Brandi for providing the FAQ html files!
