Gee Dave... read the first line again.  The assembled version is $159.

The IF is 14 MHz.

I hope to get one at Dayton if Ten Tec brings any.

Regarding 'another DC source', how about a regulated 12v power supply at
home?

This is my other DC source, as I do not yet have a car (can't afford one :(

It is how I power my 530 at home, and also how I power my other HTs,
which consist of a Yaesu FT411E 2m, and an ICOM IC-2AT, both with their
respective DC adapters.

Hope this helps.

Subject: GB2RS News 10th April 1994
To: [e-mail]

Good morning. It's Sunday the 10th of April and here is the GB2RS
news broadcast, prepared by the Radio Society of Great Britain.

First the headlines:- Look out for Scottish stations next week-
end; repeaters set to close down; and attention anyone running a
station to celebrate the centenary of Parish Councils.

Next Saturday and Sunday, the 16th and 17th, is Scottish Activity
Weekend. This event, run by the Scottish Tourist Board (Radio
Amateur) Expedition Group, aims to encourage activity by Scottish
radio amateurs and to create a worldwide interest in contacts
with Scottish stations. The Scottish Century Award is available
and further details can be obtained from Robbie, GM4UQG whose
address is correct in the RSGB Call Book. All GM, GS and 2M
stations are invited to participate.

Now an urgent message for repeater keepers and users. The Radio-
communications Agency has stipulated that each keeper must inform
the Amateur Radio Section at RSGB Headquarters in February each
year that he wishes his Notice of Variation to remain in force
for the year commencing the 1st of April. In Mid-March a letter
was sent to keepers who had not responded, and no reply has been
received from the keepers of repeaters: GB3AH, GB3LW, GB3NF,
GB3OH, GB3PA, GB3TN and GB3WB. If no letter of continuation is
received at RSGB Headquarters by next Thursday, the 14th of
April, then the repeater will be unlicensed and must be closed
down.
It is therefore vital that keepers respond promptly to this
request. Repeater users may wish to check that the keeper of
their local repeater has responded.

Parish Councils in England and Wales celebrate their Centenary in
June. Will those setting up Special Event Stations in connection
with these celebrations consider operating over the weekend of
Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th of June to ensure maximum
contact with other parishes. A common date will facilitate the
exchange of messages between Council Chairmen and others. For
further details contact R A Bastow, G3BAC, by telephone on 0474
812049, or write to his address which is correct in the RSGB Call
Book.

We are very sorry to have to report that the RSGB EMC Coordinator
for South Wales passed away last week. Any members whose problems
were being dealt with by Charles Barry, GW3BUT, should now con-
tact another co-ordinator, or telephone the RSGB EMC Committee
Chairman on 0277 218531.

RSGB Committees meeting this week include the VHF Contests Com-
mittee who meet in London on Wednesday the 13th of April.

Now some items of HF DX news from the weekly RSGB DX News Sheet
which is edited by Brendan McCartney, G4DYO.

The posting for World should no longer exist, and the recent repost was
the fault of another network.  It is being fixed (I think).

The archives have moved from World over to oak.oakland.edu

The directory structure is still /pub/hamradio

I am sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

Why do you assume that.  If I am an infrequent checkin on your
net, and my third listing is for McLean VA, would you know
who I am?

Well thank you Bob for sharing the rules. 8-)

All I can say to you gentlemen is that some nets
do run that way.  Stations check in,  in one continuous
sequence, with their traffic lists.
Net control never has to pick up the microphone,
....until they are all done.  Isn't that efficient?

Without the "here is" technique, it would never work.

As I recall, the first net, on which I heard this procedure,
had adopted it because they felt it was *inefficient* to
check in with "K2UL with traffic" and then have net control
later make a second transmission to ask for the traffic,
then have to make a third transmission to list the traffic.

Not saying I like this procedure more or less than any other.
Whatever works for you.

73, Dan

Not quite that simple with the internet access via Demon (as any of the others
reading this will agree) and with the sofware in use (a derivative of KA9Q)
because the feed site is supplying news to several thousand dial-up sites and
it would be impractical (or expensive to the users!) for them to maintain
news lists for all of us.

Anyway, back to a more relevant subject: my vote would be for the full list to
be sent out every few months with additions/deletions every month which include
a pointer to the full list.

And now the solar factual data for the period the 28th March to

Due to the holiday we are a bit short of some data. Solar
activity has been very quiet, with spot counts dropping to zero
on the 2nd and 3rd of April. No flares have been reported but the
expected magnetic storms due to coronal holes duly arrived.

The sunspot indices meaned about the 30s, though the 2nd
and 3rd were down to zero. The last time zeros were recorded was
September 1993. Solar flux levels are continuing to decline from
88 units on the 28th down to 77 units by the 3rd of April. The
average for the period was 83 units. The 90 day flux mean on the
2nd of April was 100 units.

The geomagnetic levels were quiet up to the 1st of April
when, due to an eruptive prominence and the passage of coronal
holes, a major magnetic storm developed raising the Ap index to
76 units by the 3rd. The period averaged an Ap index figure of 21
units. The state has been 'Strat warm' over polar regions, 'd-
eclining' towards the 2nd, then 'major mag storm in progress'.
The daily averages of the aa indices for the 22nd to the 28th of
March were 27.2 nanoTeslas, about K3. The 26th and 27th were
quiet days with periods down to 5 and 8 nanoTeslas. The X-Ray
flux has continued to decline with the period averaging only A5.5
units. The 3rd of April was down to only A2.4 units, the lowest
level since September 1993.

I'll repeat the figures. Spots - 30; Flux - 83; Ap index
- 21; X-ray flux - A5.5.

Now the ionospheric data for Central France:
Due to the holiday we have only data for the 28th to the
30th. For that period the F2 daytime critical frequencies at
Poitiers, as reported by Meudon, averaged 7.3MHz and the darkness
hour lows 3.7MHz. The highs are now anywhere between 11.00 and
17.00 hours, but the darkness hour lows are centred on 05.00
hours.

I'll repeat the figures. Highs - 7.3MHz; lows - 3.7MHz.

Now the ionospheric data for the north:
The F2 daytime critical frequencies at Ekaterinberg
averaged 6.5MHz and the darkness hour lows 3.4MHz.

I'll repeat the figures: Highs - 6.5MHz; lows - 3.4MHz.

And the solar forecast:

This week the quiet side of the sun will be looking our
way, and the magnetic storms should have died down by now. Solar
flux levels are expected to be about the 90s. Geomagnetic levels
are expected do be just unsettled with Ap indices in the 20s.
Ionospheric MUFs in the south during daylight are expected to be
about 24MHz and the darkness hours 7.0MHz. North/south paths will
be predominant. The seasonal changes are now affecting east/west
paths, which will be well down on these levels. For northern
stations daytime MUFs could be about 21MHz and darkness hours
about 7.0MHz.

We have been asked what the lowest solar flux levels are likely
to be at solar minimum. The lowest monthly average during the
past four cycles was 67 units in July 1964, the other cycles have
only varied from this by very small amounts. The lowest X-Ray
flux levels expected are not known, as this data has only been
available in recent years.

And that's the end of this week's solar information.

Finally in the main news, SSL has informed the Society that as of
last Wednesday morning, the latest callsigns issued were in the
G0 Uniform Romeo and G7 Sierra Golf series, and Novice calls in
the 2 0 Alpha Hotel and 2 1 Charlie Uniform series.

And that's the end of this week's GB2RS news broadcast, which was
prepared by the Radio Society of Great Britain.
