- Well, a bunch of us talked with Wilson, the OYI dude, in Dayton while he was
- guarding the ARRL booth at the Hamvention. He said that the BoD had nothing
- to do with it and that it was a League personnel matter. He cited privacy
- laws and fairness to Luck as reasons for lack of openness about the matter.
- Seems fair to me.

-
- The outbacker has a low profile and very popular amongst many hams.
- However, let me recommend the Texas Bugcatcher ( the regular from
- GLA Systems or the mini from Texas Radio ) to you. I used a bugcatcher
- with a TS50 running 10w and worked UA1, LZ, PY, VP5, ES, G and
- some more while driving to Dayton this last weekend. A while ago
- some one had posted a comparison of a bunch of mobile antennas which
- rated them based on field strength measurements. The outbacker was
- dead last and the bugcatcher first - with a factor of 50 or so. That is
- 17db!
-
- However, I am sure that you can work a bunch of stations with the outbacker
- and it sure looks a lot more slicker.

- Periodic Announcement - ARRL Email Information Server (info@arrl.org)
-
- The services that the ARRL provides via the internet include the
- Email Information Server and the Technical Information Service.
- The Information Server is an automated mail server that gives you
- access to many of information files relating to various facets of
- Amateur Radio. You can retrieve any or all of these files by
- sending an email message to info@arrl.org here at ARRL HQ.
- Each file you request is then mailed to you automatically.
-
- To use it, mail messages to:
-
- info@arrl.org
-
- Each line of the message body should contain a command as shown below.
- The subject of your message is not processed and may be omitted. You
- may place as many commands in a message as you want. The files you
- request will be sent to you in separate messages. Only ASCII text
- files are supported.
-
- Valid INFO commands:
-
- reply <address> (may be needed - see below for explanation)
- help
- index
- send FILENAME (example: send prospect.txt)
- quit
-
- In the above message example, "help" retrieves a brief set of
- instructions for info, "index" retrieves a list of available files
- and "send prospect.txt" retrieves a text file containing information
- on becoming a radio amateur.
-
- Note to users with FTP capability: All of these files are also
- available by anonymous ftp to oak.oakland.edu in the
- pub/hamradio/arrl/infoserver area. Retrieve the file index.txt
- in the /league sub-directory for a complete listing of available
- files.
-
- If you want to retrieve several text files with one message, use a
- separate line for each "send filename" request.
-
- Your From: field or Reply-to: field in your header should contain a
- valid Internet address, including full domain name. If your From:
- field does not contain a valid Internet address, the answer will not
- reach you. If this is the case, then use the reply command as shown
- above. When needed, this command should always be the first command
- in your message.
-
- IMPORTANT: Please use the quit command in your message. This will
- prevent processing errors from message signatures.
-
- PLEASE NOTE!: This is an automated system not capable of handling
- written requests. Any questions on the info-server or the content
- of any of its files should be directed to mtracy@arrl.org.
-
- ALSO NOTE!: Do *NOT* reply to messages sent from info@arrl.org - the
- reply address is redirected to keep bounced messages from endlessly
- looping. Write a new message to info@arrl.org instead.
-
- The Technical Information Service gives League members on the
- internet better access to the knowledgeable technical staff here
- at ARRL HQ. Questions relating to Amateur Radio and related
- technical topics are welcome. To use this service, send a normal
- e-mail message to tis@arrl.org with your question spelled out in
- plain english. For best service, be as specific as possible and
- keep your line length in messages to a maximum of 80 characters.
- Due to personnel limitations, priority will be given to questions
- from League members.
-
- Best Regards,
-
- Michael Tracy, KC1SX, ARRL Technical Information Services Coordinator
- (e-mail mtracy@arrl.org)
-
-
- Sample of files available from INFO: (There are lots more!)
-
- Note - If you are not yet an Amateur Radio operator retrieve the
- file prospect (send prospect) for information on how to easily get
- started in this fun hobby.

- NOTES:
- These VHF DX prediction charts are defined for the 30 MHz to 220 MHz
- bands. They are based primarily on phenomena which can affect VHF DX
- propagation globally. They should be used only as a guide to potential
- DX conditions on VHF bands. Latitudinal boundaries are the same as those for
- the HF predictions charts.
