To: info-hams@ucsd.edu Hi, I just did some bike-mobile operation last tuesday. I was only biking about 5 miles but this is what I learned. First my setup. I have an old army ledic bag that I throw over my shoulder, its strap goes crosswise accross my chest. I put my handheld in the bag with the antenna sticking out of the top flap but tighten the clasps down tight. I have my ht wrapped in a canvas holdere inside the bag. I attach a clip speacker mike to the shoulder strap and put the volume way up. This lets me hear nicely when other people are talking and lets me compete with wind noise when I'm talking since the mike is close to my mouth. I thought abouut one of those fancy ear mikes but decided agaist it because. 1) its too easy to get hit on your bike anyway, so why add yet another reason to get distracted 2) too much $$$$ 3) would probably hurt if the ht fell out or off and the ear thing got ripped out. I have heard that if you connect your ht to your antenna with a cable between the antenna and the ht, if it falls its easier on the antenna connector, but I haven't tried it myself. I've thought about mounting it on my handle bars but I'm worried about vibration... hope this helps. -Jeff N2TIQ ------------------------------ Date: 8 Apr 94 09:41:53 PST From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!agate!howland.reston.ans.net!wupost!crcnis1.unl.edu!news.unomaha.edu!news.nevada.edu!hccwmv2!david@network.ucsd.edu Subject: Callbook on line?

There were no events of note. Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be very low. Region 7700 (N08E72) was numbered today. The geomagnetic field has been at unsettled to major storm levels. High latitude stations experienced severe storming for several hours. This activity is most likely due to a well positioned coronal hole. Energetic electron fluxes (GT 2 MeV) were mostly high to very high for the entire period. Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is expected to be at unsettled to minor storm levels for the next 24 hours then mostly unsettled to active for the remainder of the forecast period. High latitude stations are expected to have periods of minor to major storming for the entire period.

Middle Latitudes Active 30/30/30 Minor Storm 35/30/25 Major-Severe Storm 15/15/15 B. High Latitudes Active 30/30/30 Minor Storm 35/30/30 Major-Severe Storm 25/20/20 HF propagation conditions remain moderately to strongly disturbed over the high and polar latitudes with poor to frequent blackout (useless) conditions. Middle latitudes were below-normal with poor to occassionally very poor propagation. Low latitudes were also below-normal but did not suffer as profoundly as some of the higher latitudes. Conditions are expected to remain well below normal over the next 24 to 48 hours. Minor improvements, first with the low and middle latitudes, are expected on 11 or 12 April. Higher latitudes will require greater time to recover to near-normal values.

Begining next week my SPECTRUM newscast will turn into a news and COMMENTARY segment. Other than comming up with a name for it ourselves, we've decided to let the public decide the new name. The best we've come up with is "Mini-Crossband" or "Big Steve's Basement", so we know YOU can do better. This is just for fun and we'll announce the new title of the segment and the name of lucky individual who came up with it on the April 30th program. There are no prizes except having the winner enshrined in the Spectrum hall of fame, and maybe we'll get Dave to part with a Slim Withman record. E-Mail your suggestions to me, do not send them to Spectrum or post them. Posted replies will be ignored. Keep 'em clean or forever be twitted to the kill-file at all 132 addresses used by Spectrum, the Omega Radio Network and WWCR. Spectrum is heard Saturday nights at 10PM Eastern, 0200Z/Sunday, on WWCR at either 5810 Khz or 7435 Khz. -- < ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^> < "Big Steve" Coletti > < Shortwave Listener, Broadcaster, Computer Consultant > < and all around nice guy > < Internet: bigsteve@dorsai.dorsai.org ==== S.COLETTI2@genie.geis.com > < UUCP: steve.cole@islenet.com ==== steveny@lopez.marquette.mi.us > < Fidonet: 1:278/712 US Mail: P.O.
