- Sometime ago a query had been posted regarding WWV receivers which produce
- digital output suitable for use with a computer for time clock synchronization.
- I am looking for just such a beast preferrably with a software package
- for use with Un*x (specifically HP-UX but I can port source code if provided).
- Does anyone know where receivers like these can be purchased? I really

- Since I live in the area of the tornados, I'll say that Al Gore doesn't
- know what he's talking about. (no surprise) The area of the tornados
- is served well by 3 NWS stations, and numerous broadcast stations tied
- to the EBS system. The problem is that people weren't listening to the
- warnings being issued.
-
- Unlike hurricanes, tornados strike very limited areas. They can level
- the house across the street, and leave yours untouched. Since we have
- many tornados in this area, and since tornado alerts are broadcast
- with nearly every thunderstorm, people have grown accustomed to *ignoring*
- the warnings. More NWS automated transmitters won't help that situation.
-
- In recent years the NWS has *reduced* the number of radar equipped
- originating stations and replaced them with automated relays from a
- few weather service offices. That means that good localized weather
- reporting has declined. So people have increasingly quit monitoring
- their local automated server. If Al Gore wants to really make a
- difference, he'll reopen the local weather offices so people will
- again get useful reports on their local weather conditions. Then
- they may start listening again.
-
- (When some regional reporting station relayed over your local
- NWS automated transmitter is saying partly cloudy, and you've
- got 4 inches of partly cloudy on the ground and more falling,
- you begin to lose confidence in the system.)

- Subject: Alpha76 modification
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- I'd like to have some advice on modification of Alpha 76 Amplifier.
-
- My question is;
- Can I replace 3-8874(3CX400) tubes with 2-3CX800 tubes?
- If I do the following modification, what kind of troubles
- will be expected.
-
- According to the EIMAC POWER GRID TUBES quick reference catalog 488,
- the above tube specifications are;
-
- 8874/3CX400 3CX800A7
- Cathode Voltage 6.3V 13.5a
- Cathode Current 3.0A 1.5A
- GG Capacitance
- Input 20.5pF 26.0pF
- Output 6.0pF 6.1pF
- Socket SK-1900 SK-1900
- Chimney SK-606 SK-1906+1916
- Length 2.14inch 2.52
- Diameter 1.64inch 2.53
-
- 3-8874 will spend 56.7w(6.3Vx3Ax3tubes) for heater and 2-3CX800
- will spend 40.5w(13.5Vx1.5Ax2ubes) for heater. So I'd like to
- apply the double-voltage rectification (Voltage Doubler) to
- the original (heater) transformer output.
- I belive this will work, because the original heaters require 56.7w
- but new heaters require 40.5w only. Then Voltage Doubler will double
- the input voltage(6.3V)+20~30% extra voltage to the output, so 13.5V
- or higher will be obtainable.
-
- I just purchased the old Alpha76 and must replace all three tubes
- someday (soon or later). According to the recent Ham Traders Yellow
- Sheet, a new tube price is $225(8874) and $240(3CX800A7), so I
- have to pay $675 for 3-8874 but $480 for 2-800A7.
- Less cost (need modification however), more performance (400w more
- plate dissipation).
- How do you think on my idea?
-
- Thanks in advance

- Subject: ARRL Strange Proposals
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- The criteria for DXCC eligibility are not a secret and may be
- found in several ARRL publications including the ARRL Operating
- Guide and the DXCC Countries List. While I don't know the
- history behind the inclusion of Peter I as a DXCC country, I'm
- sure that it must have followed the normal process of petition
- to the DXAC and a vote.
- I'm certain that the identities of the individuals who have
- proposed the inclusion of the Turkish Republic of Northern
- Cyprus (TRNC) as a DXCC country and the deletion of Mount
- Athos can be found by writing to a member of the DXAC whose
- addresses are in every issue of QST. Their actions are regularly
- reported in this newsgroup as well.
- Without getting into a debate over the DXCC countries list
- criteria, I feel that TRNC does not qualify for DXCC status
- at this time. I outlined my view in a recent issue of "QRZ
- DX" which Bob Winn was kind enough to publish in full.
- It's unfortunate that the issue is in many ways politically-charged
- and is likely to cause some strong opinions for reasons that
- have nothing to do with amateur radio.
- I very much doubt that the DXAC has any hidden political
- agenda in also considering the deletion of Mt. Athos at the
- same time as the TRNC issue. Speaking just as a DXer, I'm
- rather disturbed that one individual feels that he is the
- sole voice of a DXCC "country". That hardly qualifies as
- good sportsmanship and from all I know of Mt. Athos, I fail
- to see how it ever qualified as a DXCC country on the basis
- of the ARRL's criteria.
- So, while I agree with the SV amateur's concerns about the
- TRNC DXCC issue, I think that their reasoning is somewhat
- misguided and I strongly doubt that the DXAC in any way
- has it out for Greece or any other country.

- The ARRL has a reprint of an article about this that was published
- in Communcations Technology, the Journal of the Society of Cable
- Television Engineers. Send a large-size SASE with three units
- of postage to the ARRL Technical Department Secretary, 225 Main St,
- Newington, CT and ask for the "EMI/RFI - CATVI" package. Your cable
- operator will recognize this publication. It is not available
- electronically, I am sorry. The ARRL Book -- Radio Frequency Interference
- -- How to Find It and Fix It also has a section on CATVI.
-
- : In addition, 2m transmissions WILL interfere if there's leakage on the
- : cable.
-
- A TV signal needs about a 40- to 50-dB signal to noise ratio. A small
- leak can be enough to cause interference. If the cable operator insists
- he doesn't have to worry about leaks in, tell them to look up
- FCC regs 78.605, the regulations about required performance in the
- cable system. This section specifies a minimum 51 dB carrier to coherent
- disturbance and 40 dB signal to noise ratio.
-
- : If the cable company should ignore your helpful comments then it's time to
- : notify your local branch office of the FCC. They'll take a rather intense
- : interest in the matter.
-
- The key word is probably "Cumulative Leakage Index." This is hte
- annual leakage test the cable company must pass. If anything, they
- should be glad that hams are willing to help them find the leaks.
-
- After you have read our interference packages and book, contact me
- here at HQ if you need any help finding a resolution. I do have a few
- low friends in high places at TCI, if that is the franchise. Yuo may
- be better off dealing directly with the Service Manager or system
