- ARRL proposes 219 - 220 MHz band plan
- -------------------------------------
- An ad hoc committee created by the Executive Committee of the
- ARRL Board has released a draft of their report. The proposed
- plan would use the band on a secondary, non-interference basis
- specifically for coordinated, high speed digital point-to-
- point communication.
-
- The proposal requires that no Amateur station shall cause
- interference to maritime mobile, fixed stations or other
- mobile licenses operating in the band. All classes of licenses
- may use the band. The Amateur operation must cease if harmful
- operation is not corrected otherwise.
-
- The maximum symbol rate of 56 KBaud for codes specified in
- part 97.309(a) and a maximum of 100 KHz bandwidth for codes
- not specified in 97.309(a). The proposal suggests 10 100 KHz
- channels starting at Channel A centered on 219.050 MHz up to
- Channel J centered on 219.950 MHz.
-
- The stated objective of the band would be for a creation of a
- nationwide high speed Amateur radio data link.

- Could be something for our amateurs to keep an eye on, not
- necessarily on the same frequency.

-
- Multipliers : Each country per the DXCC list will count as one

- additional multiplier on each band.
-
- Scoring : Sum of QSO points x sum of multipliers equals total

-
- SWL : Use the same rules for scoring, but based on stations
- and messages copied.

- Paper for Teleprinters
- ----------------------
- Please, PLEASE, does anyone want some teleprinter paper, I
- have boxes of it. It is triplex paper (three sheets of paper,
- two sheets of carbon paper), you can have it for the cost of
- freight (you pay the freight). This paper will work in any
- pressure machine, or even typewriters, no good for tractor
- machines. When you unroll it you finish up with three rolls of
- paper and two rolls of carbon paper. The paper you can use,
- the carbon -- well you can give it to the children to mess up
- the house. Don't worry about the amount you want, I have
- enough.

-
- Actually the proposal involves the no man's land above CB (27.41) and
- BELOW the amateur 10 meter band which starts at 28.000. Can you imagine
- anyone trying to operate a reliable data radio service in a band which:
- A) talks around the world when the sunspot cycle is semi-friendly;
- B) is populated with an estimated 150K illegal transmitters of power
- output levels from 4W to 4kW;
- C) gets virtually no enforcement action from the FCC because the offical
- occupants are federal governemnt stations not under the jurisdiction of
- the FCC.
-
- Maybe Bill Gate$ can afford to BUY all those interfering stations from
- their illegal operators, in which case he then could also pay a
- significant portion of the national debt and evict the Feds too! Or the
- ARRL could convince him to fund a nationwide improvement of NTS/AMPR and
- get the FCC to allow resale of time on the new digital traffic network!
-
- No, this is NOT an April Fool article! 8-)

- Subject: Question:ICOM 32AT Mod.
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- Hello Hams!
-
- I have recently picked up a used Icom 32AT handheld - of which I owned
- one once before. I am performing the following Mods::
-
- Expanded RF/Cross Band Repeator/10 MHZ Entry.
-
- I have the book: Radio / Tech Modifications - by Artsci Inc., and have
- followed their (one page?) mod. So I basically have the mod completed.
-
- The Problem? Well this one page mod in this book is not very complete.
- I need to tune the radio for the higher end. They tell you in a two
- line "instruction" below the 10th step in the mod, to do the following:
-
- (and I quote):
- "Adjust C-510 to get .25 volts at UHF test point at lowest desired
- frequencie. C-510 is located in metal box. The test point is
- located next to the metal box."
- [ end quoted text ]
-
- it proceeds to show a diagram of the IC-32AT Logic Board, which was
- mildly helpful, however no diagram of this area where this C-510 is.
-
- While I had the radio apart - I had it down to the RF section - all
- the way at the bottom of the radio (under that main board?)... and as
- far as I can see THERE ARE TWO (OR THREE?) QUALIFYING "METAL BOXES".
- No test point or C-510 is labeled.
- ---------------
- ---------------
- Does anyone know where this test-point and variable capacitor is (for
- sure) ??
-
- Also my previous radio same model was tuned by another ham (for a price)
- [ which I am trying to avoid ] - and he tuned other coils etc, however
- neither the mod-book nor Icoms included docs is much help there.
-
- The mod seems to have worked ok (I think?) Except for being able to
- recieve higher on UHF, and there is no high-end tx on the VHF.
-
- Thanks to anyone for any help! And if you have an info file - and
- can send it to me somehow please do. I'm on FidoNet at 1:369/138.
- and my bbs is up 24-hours on 305-938-7088. Internet
- aspicer@sefl.satelnet.org, or inca!sefl.satelnet.org!aspicer. All msgs
- are .forwarded to my mailer on FidoNet.
-
- If you don't know (for sure) - save bandwidth! Don't answer! If you
- do - Netmail, or Email Replies are ok - unless the info will be helpful
- to the masses?
