- RTTY gains another contest
- --------------------------
- Another RTTY contest will commence from this year. The total
- is growing testifying to the popularity and usability of this
- mode at any time of the sun-cycle.
-
- This contest will be run by the Polish RTTY Society and will
- take place on the last full weekend in April in every second
- year. Mode will be Baudot only.
-
- It is good to see new contests coming in, there have been
- several started in the last two or three years, and
- particularly good to have one established in what was a
- country restricted by previous governmental practices.
-
- Perhaps more countries from that region will become interested
- in running contests in the HF digital modes, we hope so.
-
- The rules will be published in April so keep watching and
- please support this new contest -- give them a good start.

- With a heavy trailer behind and a pair of large horses, it's true

- Subject: Ramsey P-IBM Packet Modem Help
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- HELP????
-
-
- Well, maybe it's not so urgent, but...
-
- I recently completed my Ramsey FX146, which seems to be working
- just fine, so I figured I'd tackle the P-IBM Packet Modem.
-
- Well, it only took a couple of hours to get put together, BUT
- I can't seem to get anything out of it.
-
- After looking through the schematic, and also looking at the serial
- port signals, I've got a feeling something's wrong here.
-
- The schematic (and artwork) show that the Packet RXD signal (from
- the modem) is wired to pin 8 of the DB-9 computer serial port
- connector, BUT, as far as I can recall (and the table on page 15
- confirms), pin 2 is supposed to be RD for the computer. TXD is
- wired to pin 4, but the table says it should be 3. RTS is wired
- to the PTT signal (which seems ok, I guess). In fact, the packet
- modem has pin 2 not connected to anything...
-
- I quit the Baycom software and brought up a term program, which
- showed no data when connected as instructed... but I DID get "activity"
- on the display when I jumpered pin 8 (modem) to 2(computer) through
- a break-out box... (Even with this jumper connection, the Baycom
- software just sits there...).
-
- I called Ramsey and was told to just simply connect the modem 9-pin to
- the computer 9-pin 1-for-1.... but I just don't get it...
-
- Has anyone else gotten this thing to work with a PC/AT style 9-pin
- (or otherwise) connector as instructed, or in any way at all..??
-
- Has anyone used the BayCom software with this unit, and am I
- missing something big here??
-
- The kit design is several years old.... I'd like to think that SOMEONE
- has messed with this before....
-
- Thanks in advance, and 73's all around...

- Has anybody here experimented with using the transmitter section
- of a cell phone. Can the xmitter section be effectively isolated
- from the rest of the phone or is the typical cell unit highly
- integrated. I've never opened one up (yet :) so I'm interested
- in any comments, speculations, experiences etc.

- Thanks

- Kok & Will: A number is appended following the prefix if and only if
- the country in question has divided itself into districts. Thus, because
- the Marshall Islands are so small in land area (lots of islands, though)
- the Marshallese government has chosen not to partition the islands
- into different radio districts.
