Bob - most often it's the ARRL's Educational Activities
Department which coordinates the efforts of clubs and individuals
wishing to QSO with SAREX missions.

If you'd like, I'd be happy to forward any formal inquiry youy
(you) have to ARRL HQ's Educational Activities Department.

Subject: CW filters and DSP-9
To: [e-mail]

According to the discussion below and previous postings, I want to
supply some calcualtions shown in two pictures in following postings
based on a Fourier analysis of a morse signal of 10 times 'e':
00000101010101010101010100000

For that, I assumed a period of 120 ms for one dot, which needs two time
units of 60 ms: '10'
(50 time units per word, e.g.'paris', 20 wpm -> 60 ms per unit)

The first picture will show the frequency spectrum for that morse pattern.
('morse1.jpg', uuencoded, size: 72833 kB)

The second diagram will show the morse signals after passing filters
with different cut-off frequencies: 25 Hz, 50 Hz, 125 Hz, 250 Hz;
These frequencies apply to one sideband, so the filter bandwidth for
the whole signal is twice the frequency according to two sidebands,
respectively. For the filter, a flat passband and perfect
cutting off is assumed. The calculation is just the Fourier sum of the
peak frequencies obtained from the spectrum in picture 1.
Here you can see one possible reason for the ringing of narrow filters
which cut off the higher frequency components of a signal.
The lower the cut-off frequency, the wavier is the signal.
Modulated with 700 Hz, you'll get your ring ;^)
('morse2.jpg', uuencoded, size: 61701 kB)

Further you can see, how the rise times are affected by the
filter bandwidths. The cut-off frequency determines the
shortest possible rise time for the signal. So, the narrower
your filter is, the mushier are the dits.

Can anyone hel pme with the name, address and phone number of
a ham store in Virginia?

The name is something like "Skyline Ham Supplies" - he carries a
lot of seconed hand Collins and Dovetron stuff.

  (Whoops, need a better poof reading program....)

                                    Thanks,

I believe you are thinking of a store that used to be in Leesburg, VA.
They closed about a year ago. Sold most of their stuff to G and G
Electronics in Gathersburg, MD. (phone [phone]). I heard the owner
of the Leesburg store may still be doing some business from his home.
You might call G&G for more info, or G&G might have what you need, the
store looks like one fine junkbox.

Subject: Online Repeater Database Helper Program
To: [e-mail]

   I have written a program to make it easier to enter data into
   the Online Repeater Database devised and managed by Conway Yee
   ( [e-mail]).  He is looking for volunteers to enter
   the information available publicly from several sources.

   If you are right now, or were seriously contemplating doing
   some of this work, and are interested, you may email me about
   the program.  I would like to have a few people try it out.  If
   it seems appropriate, it might be possible to have it available
   by ftp somewhere. For the moment, copies will be distributed
   by uuencode.

   What follows is an excerpt from Conway's last message about the
   status of the project. (SInce this message, I've done MA and OR
   with 1991 data.) :

   ----------------------------------------------------------------
   This version 0.02 (last updated 19940120) of an online repeater
   directory which currently contains over 1800 entries.  All previous
   versions are obsolete.

   There are entries for AK, CT, DC, DE, HI, ID, KY, ME, MT, NC, ND,
   NH, NJ, NV, NY, PA, RI, SD, UT, VT, WV, WY.  Since the last time
   this data base was posted, I have added one state and two
   volunteers have added four more.

   Thus far, people have volunteered for
       1) AZ
       2) KY, MS, SC, TN, VI, WV, GA (two states already done
          but the current data will be replaced with up to date
          information).
   If everybody follows through with their intentions, we will
   soon have over half the United States accounted for.

   This file with all the data is be available for anonymous ftp as
   mipg.upenn.edu:/pub/yee/rptr002.Z

Subject: Quake Alert via Amateur Radio
To: [e-mail]

I thought people in these newsgroups would find this info to be of
interest.

In a post from another newsgroup someone said:

"A recent posting made mention of a "Quake Awake" device which warns of
P-waves which preceed S-waves in a quake.  Can anyone give me more
information on this device?"

And someone else said:

"I bought two "Quake Awakes" after Loma Prieta.  Not because I thought
they would be particularly useful as a warning device, but because I
found the concept interesting.  Subsequent postings to the net
ndicated that they were not particularly reliable, but since we ave
had *no* noticeable quakes in the last four years, I have no mpirical
evidence :-(."

And finally I said:

"Better yet, if you are a amateur radio operator or have a scanner,
you may be interested in a SEISMIC DETECTOR on frequency 445.400 MHz.

Someone has a seismometer interfaced to a radio transmitter.  Perhaps
it is the USGS.  I just don't know.  Anyway, this unit probably picks
up P waves (and maybe S waves) from a seismometer somewhere in the
mountains in the Los Angeles basin.  The transmitter sends out a tone
on some secret frequency.  Maybe it is not so secret, but, I don't
remember it.

Anyway, the ALERT group knows the frequency regenerates the signal and
pipes it via landline to one of its repeaters on Easter Hill (My note:
located in the hills of Orange, CA).  We get a 8-14 second warning
before aftershocks generated from the Northridge sequence.  Events
from Landers take about 10-15 seconds and those from Big Bear take
about 7-10 seconds.  The detector picks up events from afar if they
are strong enough.  It even picked up events in Oregon last year.

Here is info from one of the bulletins sent to ALERT members.


               SEISMIC DETECTOR WORKING WELL

The new seismic detector on the 445.400 MHz repeater continues to work
great.  A 186.2 Hz CTCSS tone will be heard over the repeater during
earthquake events.  To use this new feature set your radio frequency
to 445.400 MHz and your PL to 186.2 Hz decode (stored this into an
extra memory slot for easy access).  Whenever an event occurs your
radio will pass the earthquake warning tones but normal conversation
on the repeater will be muted.  This great new feature allows your
radio to stay on all night in a mute mode.  Please remember when you
hear the earthquake tones coming through the 445.500 MHz Easter Hill
repeater we ask all members to stop QSO's and stand by until the
warning tones stop coming through the link.  This allows all members
to get a bearing on where the earthquake activity might be.  This
seismic tone will continue to be TESTED at 9:00 PM every Monday and
once again at the conclusion of the Net around 9:25 PM.  Thanks Gary -
WA6SUL for maintaining this important ALERT system feature.

Note: ALERT means Amateur Licensed Emergency Response Team (I think)."

Subject: Voice of America News Now Available on Internet
To: [e-mail]

The Voice of America's international News and English Broadcasts radio
newswire is now available via anonymous FTP and the Internet Gopher,
along with a variety of other information from VOA and Worldnet
Television.

The News and English Broadcasts wire service includes the texts, in
English, of radio reports prepared by VOA staff correspondents, contract
news reporters ("stringers"), and feature and documentary writers.  The
wire provides a comprehensive daily report of news events, worldwide.
It is one of the core news products of the Voice of America, and is used
as the basis for much of VOA's programming in all languages.  The public
Internet server is updated within a few minutes of the issuance of each
report by the VOA central news department; a seven-day archive of the
wire is available on the public server.

In accordance with U.S. law, program materials such as the News and
English Broadcasts newswire are provided exclusively for recipients
outside the United States.

Selected VOA and Worldnet program schedules, shortwave radio frequency
and satellite downlink information, public announcements from the Voice
of America and Worldnet, and technical documents on international radio
and television broadcasting are also available on the public Internet
server.

All the materials on the server are available by anonymous FTP and the
Internet Gopher.  Schedules and other general information materials may
also be requested via electronic mail; the News and English Broadcasts
newswire is not available via email because its contents change so
rapidly.

The Voice of America and Worldnet are, respectively, the international
radio and television networks of the United States Information Agency,
and operate out of headquarters in Washington, D.C.  VOA has news
bureaus in many major world cities.

Hello Andy:

I am not sure what you mean by "less than ideal antenna" if you exclude
dipole.  The dipole is the basic antenna for me, and I use QRP, mainly
SSB, sometimes CW, and almost always on 40 meters.  Do you intend to
use a quarter wave vertical?  A mobile whip?

It is really hard to predict what sort of experience you will have with
QRP from your QTH.  Really hard.  I have had a lot of luck, even with
a mobile whip on the car using QRP.  You muse realistic, but also
know that things can happen with QRP that others just won't beleve.
I have worked a LOT of DX on 40 SSB with 5 watts and a dipole.  A LOT.
But this is by patient working and late late nights and stalking guys
and things like that.  Other times it has actually been easy.  There are
even a few hams locally who run 100 watts with other dipoles and verticals
and on occasion, I get as good a signal report as they do, even when I
ask for a real one.

40 CW is really interesting.  The antenna is the key, not really the power.
5 watts is plenty for most contacts under a lot of circumstances.  My only
advice to you is to very carefully consider the sort of antenna you will
use.  A good dipole, even shortened, up 20 feet or more should be fin.
A 50 foot long wire made of invisibly thin wire thrown into a tree or over
a roof will work fine also.  Good luck.
