- nslookup comes up with the following:

- Server: meceng-9.coe.neu.edu
- Address: 129.10.9.191
-
- Name: [378.88.813.164]
- Address: 122.88.45.164
-
- I did this from my Northeastern University account.
-
- It could also be a phone number, though I don't know how the Bosnian phone
- system works.
-
- Hope this helps.

-
- Howdy,
-
- Our ham club, Wabash Valley Amateur Radio Assn., goes to Dayton (~200 mi)
- in a chartered bus (one-day stay). Costs us 25$ per person.
-
- The bus drives right up to the front door and lets us out. Then it stays
- in the parking lot where we can go to it and "take a load off" or get food
- from our coolers. (Dayton HF food ain't too good.)
-
- If one buys stuff, (s)he can stash it on the bus instead of lugging it
- around all day.
-
- Our bus stops for breakfast in the morning and for dinner in the evening
- on the way back to Terre Haute.
-
- Why don't YOUR club look into this scheme? It's the ONLY way to fly.

- Why not use WD9EYB's H-P 48 program for logging AND duping?

- Subject: Microwave oven shielding
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- I have a question to ask. While playing with my new Tropez 90 MHz phone
- the other day, I tried putting it into both of my microwaves (no I didn't
- nuke the phone :') and I guess I expected the shielding to cut off the
- signal, thereby causing the out of range indicator to beep. The phone
- was still able to communicate with the base. If the microwave cannot
- attenuate 900 MHz, is it really attenuating the GHz stuff? Would
- someone care to comment on the type shielding used in these ovens?

- I did a similar experiment with my Motorola pager, which operates in the
- 900MHz band. I was looking for locations in my house where the pager would
- indicate it had no signal (little antenna icons appear on the display!) and
- tried inside the microwave. Sure enough, the pager couldn't hear anything
- in there.
-
- I don't know why it wasn't a suitable Faraday shield for your phone!

- This is true if you are just passing through here and not planning on
- staying here to live. If you plan to stay here to live you must contact the
- Departement of Communications and they will issue you a callsign for the
- area in which you will be residing. Otherwise for just passing through you
- can use you current callsign and indicate that you are mobile within one of
- the VE areas in Canada.

- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- Upon trying to buy a Kenwood TR-851A, I was told that it was
- "quietly discontinued" by Kenwood. Does anyone have any idea why?
-
- Does anyone have a good suggestion for a good 440Mhz base unit ? I don't
- really need the all-mode capabilities of the 851, but I liked the idea that
- it didn't have teenie-weenie controls to make it fit in a car nicely.
