Yes, it appears to be different.
The evening of Thursday, 13 October 1994, I had a short conversation (in
person) with ARRL Midwest Division Director Lew Gordon, K4VX.
He mentioned in passing that ARRL had settled its differences with the
Lambda Radio Club. He gave no further information.

Subject: Duplexer Theory
Don't get all excited, folks! This isn't yet another question about the
design and manufacturing of cavity filters. Nope.
What I'm interested in is the theory behind the hybrid ring circuit which
one sees published from time to time. The one I'm looking at right now is
in the 1989 ARRL Handbook ....
I'm sure that some genius or other out there in NetLand (tm) has the answers
to the following questions, and I'd be obliged if they could be shared with
me :-)
1. The coax specified is RG-8; this seems to be directly at odds with
everything else one is told about using efficiently shielded cable
for duplexer construction. Should I attempt to build one of these,
I'd rather use LDF4-50 (mainly because I have a lot of it, and the
connectors are 'the right price'. Anything wrong with this as a
concept (providing, of course, the correct velocity factor is
applied to the length calculations)?
2. Are the cable lengths between each ring and the TX / RX critical? If
so, what should they be (in relative terms)?
3. Are the cable lengths between each ring and the commoned 'T' connector
for the antenna critical? Again, if these are critical, how should
one calculate the required length?
4. What (in relative terms) should be the length for the tuning stubs?
And with the next part of this question, you'll begin to get a sense
of my lack of understanding of the circuit. Should these be OPEN or
SHORT circuit stubs?
5. For a correctly assembled duplexer as described, what TX / RX
isolation could be reasonably expected for this design?
Thanks for listening :-)

Subject: Finding a ground in a old House
HI
I am a new ham and I am trying to
find a ground in an old house I am renting.
The outlets have only 2 wires going to them.
The water pipes are part PVC and part copper.
What I really want to know is there a way to
test the pipes and find one of them that is
grounded.
Thanks

PS
Could some one please mail me the answers because
I don't always have the time to read news.

Subject: Heathkit H-89's
I have TWO Heathkit H-89 (factory built) computers. These are Z80 based
machines built into a 'smart' 25 line addressable terminal. These are
1980 vintage, are compatible only with themselves! Both have built-in
floppy drives, no hard-drives, run on a DOS system. If nothing else, the
termials can be used to logon to other machines!
If you are into HAM radio, these would make an excellent choice for a
dedicated PACKET host! XYL says these MUST GO! Make an offer!

If you have access to World-Wide Web browsers, such as Mosaic, look at:
http://www.cc.columbia.edu/~fuat/cuarc/
At the bottom, choose "Callsign Servers" and you'll get a list of the
various ones I know about. Regular telnet ones such as
callsign.cs.buffalo.edu's port 2000 as well as the latest QRZ CD-ROM
from QRZ available via forms interface and the UK callbook from
mcc.ac.uk. Also a forms interface to the Hams on Usenet listing.
You can also go direct to:

Just a mere 6 years ago, saying "monitoring" would usually get a
response. Now, ir usually doesn't. I live in Ohio, and there exists a
wide area repeator "system" that spans from Cleveland on down into
Kentucky and over into Indiana. A few times, whenever i get a chance to
be in my car for more that a couple of minutes, I will announce that I am
"monitoring". I have yet to get a response.
What is it all coming to?

Subject: What is "Amateur Radio"?
The FCC gives a more formal definition of the Amateur Radio Service,
but you are probably looking for something you can say in front
of a group that may never have heard of it and may not have
a technical background.
Amateur Radio is a hobby, sometimes even an avocation, involving
radio communication between other Amateur Radio enthusiasts.
It is called 'Amateur' Radio because the radio communication
that takes place cannot be done in exchange for compensation,
monetary or otherwise. The purpose of Amateur Radio is simply
personal fulfillment, as well as to advance the radio 'art',
foster international goodwill, help by volunteering radio
communication services during emergencies, increase
the numbers of licensed amateur radio operators, and to
provide a means of technical advancement in the areas
of radio and electronics. That last sentence was a rough
interpretation of the FCC charter for amateur radio.
Above all though, it's for the fun of communicating with others.
Mike

1) Amateur radio is a hobby.
2) Amateur radio is fun.
3) Amateur radio is a learning and growing experience.
4) Amateur radio is, by its name, *NOT FOR PROFIT*.
5) Amateur radio fosters good will and service to others.
6) Amateur radio promotes brotherhood (or should I say "personhood").
7) Amateur radio is continually pioneering into new technology while not
forgetting the past.
8) Amateur radio is "for me".

Well, did you see the feature in QST a few months back (July maybe?) on the
LARC Mode S DXpedition to a Caribbean Island? Can't remember which one now.
Maybe doing the article featuring the club was part of the agreement. They did
mention the clubs charter in the last paragraph.
