- NOTICE
- Preliminary Announcement
- 1994 Central States VHF Society Conference
- July 29-30, 1994, Memphis, TN
-
- I have just received the preliminary announcement of the 28th Annual
- Conference of the Central States VHF Society. It will be held from July 29-30,
- 1994, at the Wilson World Hotel, 2715 Cherry Road, Memphis, TN. Though not
- mentioned below, the formal part of the conference is dozen or two good
- technical or operating talks, Friday and Saturday during the day. Generally
- about 1/3rd of the presenters have some sort of doctorate (PhD, MD, etc).
- Dave Meier, N4MW, the organizer and thus CSVHFS president, says: "The
- conference format will be as usual, with Friday night flea market and Saturday
- [night] banquet. In addition to the usual conference activities there will be
- an informal Thursday night [July 28] EME show-and-tell session....
- "Let me introduce this year's Society Vice President, Joel Harrison, WB5IGF.
- Joel is the recently re-elected ARRL Delta Division Director, so
- congratulations are in order. Joel is active on all VHF bands, 432 and 1296.
- He holds WAS on two meters via EME. As an active VHF contester, he arranged
- to move the ['94] June VHF contest to eliminate conflict with the '94 ARRL
- National Convention....
- "Submit material for publication in the conference proceedings to Joel.
- Also, let him know if you can be a presenter at the conference. So far we
- have Wal House WK6KZ and Don Graham VK6HK visiting from Australia. Wal agrees
- to make a presentation on VHF/UHF/SHF in Australia. ... Send your material to
- Joel Harrison WB5IGF, 528 Miller Road, Judsonia, AR 72801.
- "... Al Ward [WB5LUA] volunteered to handle the noise figure measurements.
- Kent Britain WA5VJB and Marc Thorson WB0TEM will handle antenna
- measurements....
- "Cissy (AKA Joyce Meir N4ZRW, is arranging the family activities for the
- conference. Cissy is involved in local club activities, serving last year as
- the Memphis hamfest Forums Chairperson...." [The CSVHF Conference always draws
- a large contingent of spouses and children.]

-
- PETER FIRST ISLAND. 3Y0PI has been very active and should remain so
- until about February 19. DXers bemoaning the tough winter of 1994,
- check this out. Last Saturday 3Y0PI had to QRT
- a storm that battered the team with 80 MPH winds and dumped five
- feet of snow on them. And this is during the Antarctic SUMMER/FALL.
-
- Although some equipment was damaged, the team has made well over
- 20,000 Qs, more than 20 percent of their 100 Kilo-Q goal. Listen
- for them on CW, SSB, AmTOR, PacTOR and satellite. EME operations
- should commence soon. QSL CW via KA6V, SSB via AA6BB.
-
- LACCADIVE ISLANDS. Geology students VU2STG and his newly licensed
- XYL are on an exploration and study assignment. During free time
- they operate VU7LI on SSB only. Please be patient as amateur radio
- is not the primary purpose for their visits to the Laccadives and
- equipment is minimal. QSL via VU2STG.
-
- SOVEREIGN MILITARY ORDER OF MALTA. According to Luciano, I0JBL, the
- 1A0KM operation has been rescheduled for sometime in late February.
-
- ANGOLA. D2EGH can be found on 14225 kHz at 2000z. QSL via CT1EGH.

- >Does anyone have any experience with this upgrade?
-
- Steve, I also have the HF6V and am very pleased with it. Mine is
- mounted on the roof of my mobile home with 8-12 radials for 10-20 and 8
- or so on 40. The roof of the mobile home is metal too but no good way to
- make a solid connection to it.
- I have the 17/12 and 160 meter add on kits and have noted no
- severe change on 80 meters or other bands. You should already be aware
- since the antenna is so short for that band the bandwidth is only about
- 25 Khz. I have mine tuned around 3795 but weather can make a severe effect
- on it.
- >
- >I'm specifically interested in whether the bandwidth is narrowed on the
- >other bands once this kit is installed.
- >
- >BTW, the Butternut is the best performing vertical I've owned. I'd love to
- >see what I could get out of it if I got it up in the air. Right now it's
- >ground mounted with 17 radials, most of which are cut for the higher bands.
- Always wondered how ground mounting it would change things. I believe
- mounting it up in the air somewhat helps to make the counterpoise more ef-
- ficient. The ARRL Handbook says a true ground plane mounted 1/2 wavelength
- above ground only needs 4 or 5 radials. I kind of combine the effects of both
- round mounted and ground plane by having it 10-12 feet above ground but on
- a metal roof with many radials. Whatever it takes to get the angle of radiation
- down and work the DX/Contest.

- >Steve
- Nice going. I have had mine up sind 1985 and don't really know how
- many I have worked on it. But the last few were ZS8MI, CY9CWI, J5UAI, 3C1TR,
- S21ZG, etc. Let's me know it is getting out. Now if I could get some decent
- propagation and work the 3Y0PI.

- It sounds like you might know something about this.
- So, now that you have raised your hand :)
-
- I have gotten a bug up my rear to configure our point-to-point
- repeater linking system with digital paths ranging 20
- to 40 miles apart.
-
- We currently use plain old analog audio Motorola MICOR
- UHF mobiles to do the linking between repeater sites,
- and they work well (naturally!). However, my calibrated ear
- frequently cringes at the minor white noise which
- accumulates over the multiple hop links, such as
- those which traverse 3 or 4 hops. By the time the
- signal gets to the fourth site, there is enough
- additive noise and minor equalization and level
- difference that I believe that digital transmission
- would provide superior performance.
-
- I am certain that I am not breaking new ground here.
- Has anyone played with this who could comment on
- how practical this would be?
-
- I just received a catalog from Consumer Microcircuits
- Ltd in the U.K. listing a CVSDM codec. I remember
- playing with these in electronics lab in college;
- would these provide a narrow enough digital signal
- to shove through a radio system designed for 5KC
- bandwidth given a band-limited audio input to the
- codec?
-
- I don't recall if the output of such a codec would
- be transmittable over the air or would require
- a modem of some sort. If so, this might kill it.
-
- Our link system currently consists of link repeaters
- serving a locale, linked to the next hub via a
- transciever located at that next hub site. I envision
- a digital system which could sync up rather quickly
- as the transceivers keyed up each time. I would rather
- not put up a full-duplex RF system just to keep
- the modems happy. I have lots more to tell but
- I'll shutup now.

- It's once again time to announce the weekly ham radio NudeNet. We
- meet on Thursdays at 14.265 MHZ +/- at 4:00PM PST (0000 GMT). The net sessions

-
- Last week, we had 6 checkins. I expect the number of checkins to remain
- a bit on the low side through-out the holiday period. Afterwards, especially
- when propagation picks up in late February or early March, I expect the number
- of checkins to increase again.

- This is a fledgling but growing ham radio net. You hams out there

-
- Those hams who are so inclined might want to post a notice on the

- Subject: PK-232 vs 1278 ??
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- Just for fun, here is a bulletin I received a little over a year ago from
- KH2D@KH2D in Guam entitled *The Ultimate PK-232*:
-
-
- After reading a bulletin about modifying the PK232 to perform better
- on AMTOR, which was a reprint of an article from QST magazine, I thought it
- would be a good time to distribute one more mod for the PK232. The above
- mentioned article stated that the "PK232 performed BETTER than COMMERCIAL
- AMTOR equipment". As we say on the ham bands, "hi hi ...... "
-
- The following MOD will make the PK232 work MUCH better in these areas:
-
- 1. Improve SENSITIVITY on HF and VHF.
- 2. Greatly improve the TUNING BAR GRAPH DISPLAY.
- 3. Get rid of the common RF PROBLEM in the PK232.
- (symptoms of this very common problem are: your PK232
- sounds like a duck call on HF).
- 4. Make the PBBS more compatable with full service BBS's.
- 5. Add remote control of TNC parameters.
- 6. Add NODE capability.
- 7. Allow simultaneous use of VHF and HF ports.
- 8. Add AMTOR mailbox capability.
- 9. Add FULL DUPLEX capability.
- 10. Operate PROPERLY in the KISS mode.
- 11. Add GATEWAY capability.
- 12. Add SOFTWARE CARRIER DETECT.
-
- This mod can be performed by the average ham very easily with no
- soldering required and a minimum number of tools.
-
- Please follow these instructions CAREFULLY:
-
- 1. Power OFF the PK232.
- 2. Remove ALL cables connected to the PK232.
- 3. Grasp the PK232 FIRMLY in your RIGHT HAND (left hand is OK if you are
- LEFT-HANDED).
- 4. Carry the PK232 to the nearest trash can and hold it directly above
- the aforementioned trash can.
- 5. Drop the PK232 into the trash can.
- 6. In the space the PK232 used to occupy, install a KANTRONICS KAM with
- 5.02 (or later) firmware. (After completing this step, you will notice
- you have MORE SPACE on your shelf or tabletop).
-
- CONGRATULATIONS !! You have just modified your PK232 so that it is now
- the BEST ALL MODE DATA CONTROLLER available.
-
- An option to steps 3 thru 5 in the modification instructions would be to
- sell the PK232 to another ham (preferably someone who doesn't know where you
- live, a new novice operator, or someone you don't like).
-
- For those hams who don't have a PK232 installed at their station, skip
- steps 1 thru 5 in the above instructions.
-
- The above mod has been thoroughly tested at KH2D BBS and has performed
- FLAWLESSLY for the last 7 months (multi-user, multi-port).
-
- KH2D assumes no liability for hams who make this mod and can't hit the
- trash can. CAUTION: the PK232 is so BIG and CLUNKY that it can cause broken
- bones in your foot. Children should NOT try this modification without
- the assistance of a responsible adult.
-
- KH2D grants full permission to the ARRL to reprint this modification in QST.
-
- I would also like to express my sincerest thanks to the gentleman who
- spent his time retyping the article from QST magazine so that hams
- everywhere who don't receive their very own copy could enjoy it. But I
- would ask that for his next bulletin he chose a magazine where the tech-
- nical findings are not based on the amount of advertising dollars spent
- by the equipment manufacturer.
-
- 73, Enjoy the DIGITAL MODES,
- Jim KH2D @ KH2D.GUAM.USA.OC

- Is it worth it?
- Comments anyone?
