Region 7646 (S08W26) and Region 7647 (S16W35) combined to produce an M1/1N long duration flare at 05/0704Z. Solar observers detected a Type II radio sweep during this flare. Region 7648 (N06E42) grew larger and produced a C1/SN flare at 05/1545Z. Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be low to moderate. Regions 7646 and 7648 are growing and becoming more active. The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled. The long duration M-class flare may disturb the field beginning late on day two. Event probabilities 06 jan-08 jan Class M 50/50/50 Class X 05/05/05 Proton 05/05/05 PCAF Green Geomagnetic activity probabilities 06 jan-08 jan A. Middle Latitudes Active 10/15/15 Minor Storm 05/05/05 Major-Severe Storm 01/01/01 B. High Latitudes Active 10/15/15 Minor Storm 05/05/05 Major-Severe Storm 01/01/01 HF propagation conditions were generally near-normal over all regions. High latitude paths saw periods of minor signal degradation during the local night hours, with enhanced noise levels also reported in conjunction with this activity. Conditions are expected to remain stable on 06 and 07 January, and become slightly degraded over high latitude paths on 08 January in response to the above-noted flare-related disturbance. If it fails to arrive, near-normal conditions will persist. COPIES OF JOINT USAF/NOAA SESC SOLAR GEOPHYSICAL REPORTS ======================================================== REGIONS WITH SUNSPOTS.

When there's a 10 to 1 price range, and the customer is paying the bottom price, they'd better expect bottom performance. If they expect the very best, then they'd better expect to pay the premium that requires. I think that's all the poster is saying. It's been my experience that that's a truism, even with Motorola.

Long-distance calls are generally not permitted, although some repeaters will let you dial an 800 number, which'll let you get to a long-distance company.

I also heard some >unfavorable comments about Hamtronics and their downconverter kits. What >about Down East Microwave? They have downconverters in kit form -- has >anyone tried tackling one of those? I've built their 902 MHz transverter, and their 2304 downconverter. They work, but they aren't Heathkits. The LOs are built dead bug style, and the docs aren't very clear at all. I needed the photos in the QST article to figure out parts placement for the transverter. But they did work first time, and no special test equipment was required for tuneup. Of course the transverter is milliwatt power level, and there isn't enough selectivity in the receive front end, but a helical filtered preamp can fix the latter problem, and they sell a power brick that'll fix the low power problem. The 2304 downconverter also needs a preamp. I'd give them an Ok, but note that delivery on the transverter was not prompt. I ordered one at Dayton, and didn't get it until the next Dayton (after I danced on their heads a bit). Their loop yagis are good, but one of the 4 902 MHz ones I've assembled was missing a loop. I made my own out of some stock I had on hand rather than fighting with them to get the missing part. A couple of notes on Ramsey and Hamtronics. Ramsey has greatly improved their 2 meter and 70 cm transceivers from the original models, but they aren't bargains. Converting commercial surplus will still give you a better radio for less money. Hamtronics has a line of helical filtered preamps that are *excellent* for repeater use. Buy assembled and tuned though because they're nontrival to get to work right without a good SINADer. On the other hand, their converters suck bigtime. It's nearly impossible to get the LO to both be clean and to start reliably. And after you do, the noise figure is poor. Their transmitting converters are better, but not great. Their receivers and transmitters used to be *horrible* with spurs and drift problems. I hear the new models are better, but you still better have a spectrum analyzer at hand when you do the tuneup. I'd say that anything that requires an oscillator should be avoided since Hamtronics doesn't seem to know how to design good ones. I'd say that if you need a reliable high performance preamp, converter, or transverter, you're best off buying from ARR or SSB Electronics. They're expensive, but they work really well. The ARR preamps have *no* protection, so you'll lose one ocasionally, but the performance is superb for a $70 unit. And SSB Electronics transverters can't be beat. (At $750 a pop they'd *better* be good.)

A buddy of mine owns several mountain-top sites and manages several more in Southern Cal. He's got a list of tales of mayhem and larceny that has been performed on his sites, often by other commercial radio operators, sometimes even by tenants in his site. A few weeks ago we drove up to up one site 'cause the alarm company called to say the alarm hadn't been set all day. When we got there we discovered that someone had attempted to force their way into one of his buildings. Without revealing too much, I'll say that it is fairly certain it was one of the tenants in the other building in his compound. --- * Dana H.

NO, NO, NO. Type approval is very strict, and no ham gear must be type approved. External power amplifiers below 144 MHz must be type *accepted*, and commercial ham gear must be type *certified*, that's just a manufacturer's affidavit, there may also be a Part 15 certification required if there's a microprocessor on board, but no ham gear has to pass type approval. As far as I know, only certain broadcast equipment must meet type approval regulations. It's very expensive and time consuming. So Toyota is saying that only broadcast transmitters are permitted. Heh, I'd like to see our 100 kW Harris fit in a Camry. :-) Gary -- Gary Coffman KE4ZV | You make it, | gatech!wa4mei!ke4zv!gary Destructive Testing Systems | we break it. | uunet!rsiatl!ke4zv!gary 534 Shannon Way | Guaranteed! | emory!kd4nc!ke4zv!gary Lawrenceville, GA 30244 | | ------------------------------ Date: 7 Jan 94 16:42:01 -0600 From: swrinde!cs.utexas.edu!howland.reston.ans.net!vixen.cso.uiuc.edu!moe.ksu.ksu.edu!engr.uark.edu!news.ualr.edu!eieio.ualr.edu!gdm@network.ucsd.edu Subject: Vanity Callsign Notice of Propsed Rulemaking (PR93-305) To: info-hams@ucsd.edu [said NPRM included herein by reference] A few things perhaps worth noting: 1. They are proposing to charge you $7.00 per year for the rest of your life for their having issued you a specific callsign. I'd feel a lot better about a one-time charge, even at my age. 2. If your list of ten specific callsigns is exhausted by the time your application makes it through the mill, your existing callsign becomes the eleventh choice and you will be charged $7.00 per year for the rest of your life for the privilege of continuing to use your old callsign. 3. Opinion: what does "vanity" have to do with requesting a specific callsign? Commercial broadcasters do it all the time. These specific ham callsigns will still have to follow the present formats for the various license classes, unlike the completely free form of so-called "vanity" car tags. I suspect the "vanity car tag" expression was originated by some media type. I don't see the parallel between Lawrence Welk requesting "A1ANA2" for his car and my trying to get, say, K5EE, the shortest (in CW) callsign in the United States. When I finally became an old-enough timer (at 27) to request a specific callsign all those years ago, I tried to get K5DM or K5GM or some others I can't remember, but the closest they could get was K5DH. If they could set up this new system to be less risky and less costly, I might try again, otherwise "thanks but no, thanks." 73, Doug K5DH -- - - - - Doug Mauldin - - - - - University of Arkansas at Little Rock - - gdmauldin@ualr.edu | Graduate Institute of Technology standard disclaimers apply | Department of Electronics and Instrumentation - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Jan 1994 16:57:15 GMT From: netcomsv!netcom.com!dgf@decwrl.dec.com Subject: When will my license expire?
