To: info-hams@ucsd.edu Thanks for your input on cars etc. so far. I have narrowed my thinking to a small pickup or sport utility such as Bronco, Trooper, etc., probably 86 to 91. I am told that American cars have less solid state devices to go awry due to RF from HF or VHF rigs, that Ford seems to be a good choice, that Japanese vehicles may be more susceptible to RF. Again, besides physical comfort (my back) criteria include lack of problems from car to rig and vice versa, and other normal concerns. All input welcomed. Thanks again.

Region 7690 (S15W54) was numbered. Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be very low to low. Regions 7688 (N19E47) and 7690 have the best chance for C-class activity. The geomagnetic field has been at unsettled to minor storm levels. High latitude stations saw major storm levels. Energetic electron fluxes (GT 2 MeV) were at high levels during the period. Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is expected to be unsettled to active levels for the next 24 hours then mostly unsettled for the remainder of the forecast period. High latitude stations will experience minor storming for the next 24 hours.

In other words if attenuation is 6 db at 4 mhz and 60 db at 8 mhz then the shape is 2 to 1. It can get more complicated that that but that is the idea.

These services currently include access to the Buckmaster CD ROM public domain files in addition to the Buckmaster callsign database. Additional information can be obtained by writing to: root@ns.risc.net This file contains information on: 1. Accessing RISC.NET's callsign database 2. Accessing RISC.NET's public domain shareware database ============================================================================== 1. ACCESSING THE BUCKMASTER CD-ROM CALLSIGN DATABASE The Buckmaster Callsign Database is accessed by logging into a special account called "hamradio". From this account, you can access the Buckmaster CD-ROM callsign database (only the US calls at this point, as the international database is encrypted and Buckmaster will not provide the key so we can create a UNIX version of their ICALL.EXE program - if anyone knows how to decrypt this data, please contact us!) or you can TELNET to the Buffalo or NJIT callsign databases. Procedure: Telnet or rlogin to "155.212.2.2" (or, "ns.risc.net") Login with user-id "hamradio". No password is required. At this point the system is self-explanatory. ============================================================================== 2. ACCESSING THE BUCKMASTER CD-ROM PUBLIC DOMAIN SHAREWARE The Buckmaster PD Software Library can be accessed in one of the following manners: UUCP, FTP, or Mail-based archive server. A complete list of all files available for transfer may be obtained by retrieving file: !~/ham-radio/mascd.dir ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Anonymous UUCP Information: Telebit Trailblazer Plus Dial-In: 1.401.455.0347 9600 to 300bps v.32/v.42 Dial-In: 1.401.331.3706 ns.risc.net!login: xxcp Password: xenix To download a file, issue the following uucp request on your machine: uucp anomaly!~/ham-radio/files/<filename> yoursite!<to-filename> All files are stored in /usr/spool/uucppublic/ham-radio on RISC.NET's Archive. To request the master list of ham-related files, uucp as follows: uucp anomaly!~/ham-radio/mascd.dir yoursite!yourname ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mail-based Archive Server: To answer the interim demand of people on the Internet who wish access to the ham radio files, we have established a mail-based server which can process requests for files. Note that in order to keep our SMTP connection from getting bogged down, we only process *5* megabytes worth of software requests PER DAY. Users with alternative means of obtaining files are encouraged to do so. To receive instructions on how to use the mail-based archive server, send an e-mail message to "snarf@ns.risc.net", with a Subject: of 'snarf' and the following two lines starting in column 1: snarf address [your e-mail address] snarf help For example: snarf address wb9aaz@gello.pcb.org snarf help These commands will forward a help file to your reply address. This help file contains all information you require on how to obtain software listings and uuencoded mailings of archive contents. To receive a 104k detailed description of all ham files in the archive, include the following line in the body of your message: snarf send ham-radio/mascd.dir Note that if you do not have an address line, or you have other errors in the body of your text, you will not get a reply from the server. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zmodem/Ymodem/Xmodem/Kermit/Sealink: All files can be accessed from RISC.NET's "bbs" login, for those users without UUCP or FTP access. Validation is required to access the file sections, though, so on your first call leave a note in FEEDBACK stating that you're calling to download from the ham-radio archive, and we'll see that you get an special access account. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- FTP Access: Our IP Address is: 155.212.2.2! Or, for those of you with Nameservers, try "ns.risc.net"! As with our SMTP connection, the number of FTP users we allow on our link is also limited to prevent net-congestion. If you receive an "all ports are currently in use" message, please try again later. Login using anonymous FTP account "ftp", and your e-mail address for a password! ============================================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Mar 1994 23:23:06 From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!swrinde!cs.utexas.edu!convex!seas.smu.edu!rwsys!ocitor!FredGate@network.ucsd.edu Subject: HDN Releases To: info-hams@ucsd.edu The following files were processed Saturday 3-12-94: HAMLOG [ HAM: Amateur radio logging programs ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- VA-QSO.ZIP ( 225346 bytes) Logging program for the Virgina QSO Program ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 225346 bytes in 1 file(s) HAMNEWS [ HAM: Bulletins and Newsletters ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ANART797.ZIP ( 6301 bytes) ANART Bulletin #797 02/20/94 ANART798.ZIP ( 5697 bytes) ANART Bulletin #798 02/26/94 ANART799.ZIP ( 5547 bytes) ANART Bulletin #799 03/06/94 ARLD013.ZIP ( 2522 bytes) ARRL DX Bulletin 03/03/94 ARLD014.ZIP ( 2338 bytes) ARRL DX Bulletin 03/10/94 ARLP010.ZIP ( 1866 bytes) ARRL Propagation Bulletin 03/11/94 ARLX011.ZIP ( 1833 bytes) 03/09/94 - AA8FQ runs for charity ARLX012.ZIP ( 1690 bytes) 03/10/94 - Amateur radio to the rescue BARTG015.ZIP ( 3446 bytes) BARTG #015 03/94 HDNBBS.ZIP ( 6242 bytes) Ham Distribution Net BBS Listing - 03/10/94 IRTS0306.ZIP ( 2849 bytes) IRTS Bulletin 03/06/94 OPDX150.ZIP ( 4003 bytes) Oh/Pa DX Bulletin #150 03/07/94 RTDX0304.ZIP ( 2820 bytes) RTTY DX Bulletin 03/04/94 RTDX0311.ZIP ( 2531 bytes) RTTY DX Bulletin 03/11/94 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 49685 bytes in 14 file(s) HAMPACK [ HAM: Packet Communications programs ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BAY-TPK.ZIP ( 78478 bytes) Packet Driver Set for TPK HAMLET33.ZIP ( 32698 bytes) Simple packet terminal program ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 111176 bytes in 2 file(s) HAMSAT [ HAM: Satellite tracking and finding programs ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ARLS012.ZIP ( 1458 bytes) 03/08/94 - Astronaut to Russia OBS070.ZIP ( 6220 bytes) AmSat Orbital Elements #070 03/11/94 SATSKED.ZIP ( 118777 bytes) V1.937 - Multi-satellite pass manager by WA2N and NZ2F.

Accordingly, over the past two years a concerted effort to avoid certain words has paid off in many areas in those organizations cognizant of this aspect of interpersonal communication. Astute Amateurs do NOT say to the sheriff's deputy at the roadblock "I'm a ham radio operator in the RACES, or the Vista Radio Club." Rather, they reply "I'm with the Vista Country Emergency Management Agency reporting to my duty station." Here, our State Auxiliary Communications Service participants make a conscious effort to avoid these terms: Amateur, ham, ARES, ARRL, DEC, EC, RACES, SEC, section or emergency coordinator, and volunteer. Instead, they say they work for the Governor's Office of Emergency Services. If needed, they add that they work for the Telecommunications Branch. Rarely is it necessary to indicate in what capacity; but if needed, they are FCC licensed communications specialists, not Amateur Radio operators. Recognition of how Amateurs deprecate themselves by their own terminology was emphasized by a California Department of Forestry official who pointedly requested that "Never say you are just a volunteer, or an Amateur. Say you are a CDF Fire Information Officer, for that is what you have been trained for, and are in fact." The words YOU use DO make a difference in how YOU are perceived by other people. A poor choice of words (no matter how highly YOU think of them) can unknowingly convey a concept or picture that is totally at odds with what you THINK you conveyed!

The first time I tried to login via anonymous to them, I got the message about paying for an account and then FTP promptly disconnected me - leading me to believe that a paid account was the only access they allowed. Someone pointed out via mail that the limit on anonymous logins may have been exceeded resulting in the ftp disconnection. Anyway, I tried again - and success! FTP anonymous DOES work! Thanks to all who straightened me out. -Bob Longo ============================================================================== Bob Longo (longo@sfpp.com) KE6EQY Santa Fe Pacific Pipelines Los Angeles, CA ------------------------------ Date: 13 Mar 1994 16:02:47 -0800 From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!agate!apple.com!apple.com!not-for-mail@network.ucsd.edu To: info-hams@ucsd.edu References <1994Mar10.223223.13794@arrl.org>, <2lptqg$7b4@cville-srv.wam.umd.edu>, <2lqka5$8k3@news.iastate.edu> Subject : Re: 1x1 Callsigns? wjturner@iastate.edu (William J Turner) writes: [regarding A2, A3, A4, ... prefixes] >My understanding was that they are not allocated.
