Subject: 6 meters
To: [e-mail]

I'm interested in trying out 6 meters but have a limited budget. Does anyone
know of a way to easily use an IC-725 or IC-W2A to try the band out?
Preferrably with low risk of ruining the radio.

I'd like to know whether the CEPT Recommendation
T/R 61-01 is also applied in Andorra and San Marino,
i.e. am I with a German license allowed to operate
a ham radio transceiver from one of these two countries
without other formalities as it is the case e.g. in
France or Italy?

Subject: Fiber Optic with IC-901
To: [e-mail]

I have been working on an office of emergency communication setup using an
Icom IC-901 with the fiber optic link option. We have access to a 100 foot
tower on building 500 feet away making the fiber option the most practical
solution. Unfortunately Icom does not provide a cable over 64 feet. the tech
support at Icom recalls an Alaskain group making a 800 foot connection using
fiber. They could not remember who they were or what they used to do it
(glass or plastic).

If anyone has knowledge or experience with fiber optic I would appreaciate
any information that could be provided. Please send responses directly to me.
I will post a follow up on the success that I have.

To: [e-mail]

A gentle reminder to those who feel outraged about the RACES bulletins :-)

A few years ago, I volunteered to feed the RACES Bulletins into the
Internet system.  That's the extent of my involvement.  I don't write
them.  The opinions expressed are those of the author and I am just
the messenger.

The bulletins originate at the California State RACES Office.  You can
contact them via amateur packet at the following address:

     W6WWW@WA6NWE.#NOCAL.CA.USA.NOAM

If you would like their mail address or telephone number, drop me a
line and I will see if I can dig it up.

Someone was kind enought to provide a copy of the (old) NBS information
pamphlet. It was very interesting, but I found the following a bit
suprising:

For such an an elaborate installation and because of the vital service
they provide I would have expected NBS to use antennas more sophisticated
than dipoles; there certainly are antennas with more gain which would
give the same radiation patterns.
