I am a US licenced amateur. When in vacation in Canada, can I operate an
HF rig? Do I need a reciprocal permit? How do I identify?

Thanks,

For others wondering about this, there's an article in
the 9/94 QST.  It details communications between the
ARRL and *several* auto manufacturer's.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------

            Solar activity remained very low. Region 7779 (N17W01)
       decayed slightly. New Region 7780 (S06W74) emerged at a
       moderate pace and was a small D class group at the end of the
       period.

            Solar activity forecast:  solar activity should continue
       at a very low level. There is a possibility of a small C-class
       flare from Region 7780.

            The geomagnetic field was quiet. Energetic electron fluxes
       were at moderate to high levels.

            Geophysical activity forecast:  the geomagnetic field
       should be quiet to slightly unsettled for the next three days.

NOTES:
     All times are in Universal Time (UT).  Characters preceding begin, max,
     and end times are defined as:  B = Before,  U = Uncertain,  A = After.
     All times associated with x-ray flares (ex. flares which produce
     associated x-ray bursts) refer to the begin, max, and end times of the
     x-rays.  Flares which are not associated with x-ray signatures use the
     optical observations to determine the begin, max, and end times.

     Acronyms used to identify sweeps and optical phenomena include:

          II        = Type II Sweep Frequency Event
          III       = Type III Sweep
          IV        = Type IV Sweep
          V         = Type V Sweep
          Continuum = Continuum Radio Event
          Loop      = Loop Prominence System,
          Spray     = Limb Spray,
          Surge     = Bright Limb Surge,
          EPL       = Eruptive Prominence on the Limb.

Subject: Radio Equip Donations Wanted for Haiti Feeding Program
To: [e-mail]

     Mission Reach Out, located in the bush country of Haiti between
Leogane and Ci-Ara, feeds approximately 4000 people per day on-site and
via a food distribution program to (currently) 19 villages.  Expansion
of the village feeding program is underway.

     Neither electric power nor telephone lines have ever served this
area.  There are two types of communications available to Mission Reach
Out:  Runners and amateur radio.  They use both.

     On-site electric power for amateur radio is supplied via 4 deep-
discharge, lead-acid batteries.  Battery charging is supplied via a 25-
year old, donated, two cylinder diesel generator which provides 110
volts at 60 Hertz.  Solar cells are too expensive for Mission Reach Out
to afford despite the glorious sunshine that is available daily.
Charcoal is the on-site cooking fuel since the embargo and the only
available fuel ever for the village-feeding program.

     Mission Reach Out depends on its donated Kenwood TS-140 and 3-
element beam to communicate with the 70-member church in the United
States which founded the mission in 1981.  It also depends on the TS-
140 to communicate with other missions around Haiti on an 80 meter net.
If the TS-150 goes out, they only have runners.

     MISSION REACH OUT NEEDS: 1) AN ALL-BAND, HF TRANSCEIVER TO BACK UP
THE TS-140.  2) TWO METER BASE STATION AND TWO METER PORTABLES TO
ASSIST WITH THE VILLAGE FOOD DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM.  3) SOLAR PANELS
WOULD BE TOO MUCH TO EXPECT, BUT THEY CERTAINLY WOULD BE WELCOMED.

     Equipment donations will be tax deductible.  Please contact me if
you have any equipment you would like to donate.  Don't limit your
offers just to what's listed above.  Your imagination would be helpful.

     For more information and instructions on the handling of donations
please send e-mail to:  [e-mail]

Looking back on it now, and given the circumstances, I suspect that they
could have dropped a plane load of those hats with the revolving red lights
on top and had the same outcome.
I used to like Radio Shack products, then they went down hill.  Lately,
I've seen a rise in the products aimed at the Ham market...hopefully this
will be the beginning of a new trend.

Yes!  My call is N4ZBB, there are clubs in Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Orange
County (Chapel Hill) - all parts of the "triangle".  There is a Newsgroup
that many triangle hams watch called 'triangle.radio'.

I belong to the Raleigh club, which consists of 350-400 members.

Also, the some businesses in the area also have employee hams clubs, like
the company I work for.

If you have any further questions, please e-mail me at [e-mail]

But the original poster said that the coordinating body is under
reorganization and this repeater, operating on two simplex freqs,
might not have been coordinated.

I just don't believe it is a good trend for new repeaters to be
placed on what might appear to be unused simplex frequencies. We
should be encouraging more simplex operation on 2M to lessen the
congestion. Why broadcast over 100's or 1000's of square miles of
area if you're only talking to someone 5 miles from you?

I recommend that all 2M users who have radios capable of scanning
enter a local simplex frequency in one of your memories, and
get active or form a local simplex net. As I've said before,
it's a shame to be dependent upon someone else's radio (i.e. the
repeater) to enjoy your own radio.

Jeff,

I believe all these repeater frequency occupation scenarios have all been
addressed by the FCC at one time or another.  They've given virtual
official sanction to the coordinating organizations and for all
practical purposes, "coordinated" repeaters own the frequencies they're
assigned.  All others are pretty much on their own.

I've always found them useful for transmitting on all frequencies at the
same time. ;^)

On 2.450 GHz, to be exact.  Right in the middle of an ISM band. (Industrial,
Scientific, Medical).  A real radio no-man's land, a wasteoid.
