- This is perhaps a question that has been answered in the past here on the net
- if that's the case, sorry for asking again....
-
- I am considering running my station at home with battery-backed power. I have
- several sealed lead-acid batteries in the 20Ah range that could handle the load.
- I also have a Astron 30a supply that currently handles the load (no pun intended).
- I'm wondering what is the best way to connect both the batteries and the supply
- so that the batteries receive the right charge current and also take over when
- the power supply goes off. Can anyone point me to a article or FAQ along these
- lines?

-
- Conditions were fairly good until May 1, when the previously
- predicted cycle of disturbances from a coronal hole began again.
- Solar flux was down a bit relative to the previous week.
-
- Poor conditions should continue until the middle of May, when
- geomagnetic activity should finally quiet down again. Solar flux
- will be rising until a peak around May 19 near 100. Flux should
- decrease again, with disturbances returning by the end of the month
- for another cycle of high K indices.
-
- Sunspot Numbers from April 28 through May 4 were 35, 16, 38, 80, 75,
- 52 and 38, with a mean of 47.7. 10.7 cm flux was 77.3, 77.8, 74.9,
- 75.2, 75.9, 74.4 and 73.1, with a mean of 75.5.
-
- The projection for this week is from Larsen Bay, Alaska, on Kodiak
- Island, to New Zealand.
-
- 80 meters should be open from 0000 to 1500z, and 40 meters from
- 0630 to 1530. Check 30 meters from 0530 to 1600, and 20 meters
- from 0430 to 0700. 17 meters should be open from 0300 to 0430,
- and on same days as late as 0600. 10, 12 and 15 meters do not look
- good at this time. All of this assumes that geomagnetic conditions
- are not terribly stormy, which tends to create problems for
- propagation in the higher latitudes.

- Subject: CD-ROM Buck vs. QRZ
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- QRZ will have more shareware and related information files.
-
- Buckmaster has quite a bit more DATABASE information (US/International
- Callbook .. FM/AM/TV Commerical Freq Info)
-
- So it depends on what you are going to use it for. The one thing I
- didn't like about the Buckmaster was the interface for accessing the
- different databases. So it has forced me to write a no-nonsense (MANY TIMES
- FASTER/IN C/COMPILED FOR SPEED) search utility for ALL the databases they
- offer on the CDROM.
-
- I think Buckmaster should consider dumping the shareware portion of the
- CD and provide an even more extensive database of information. This
- seems to be their strong point.

- I had a question about these vehicles, if anyone knows more details.
- About a year and a half or two years ago when I still lived in
- Maryland, I parked next to a car in the Montgomery Village mall out in
- Gaithersburg, MD, that was heavily loaded with this kind of
- electronics. The car was pretty nondescript---some kind of
- sub-compact Fiesta-like car, but between the driver's and passenger's
- seats was a support containing a stack of equipment---I think two
- video monitors, radios, etc. The thing that attracted my attention to
- the car was that they had left a communications radio on and it was
- blaring out.
-
- Gaithersburg is pretty close to DC. The question I have is if anyone
- knows whether the FCC was prototyping these cars and if so if the car
- I saw was related somehow to this.
-
- Thanks.

-
- You won't, the service we get from Industry Canada is being minimized and
- only well documented cases will be handled (much as it is in the US). The
- $26CAN/year (~$17US) is used to cover the beaurocracy to handle licensing IN A
- TIMELY MANNER, the purchase of equipment to pinpoint the signals of violators,
- the cost of all well documented cases of police action, administrators that try
- their best to help the community in the role of an advisor and the salary of
- the persons answering the phone listening to a bunch of crybabies ...
-
- I think *long* before any licensing fee can add to the service you are
- currently getting from the FCC must be covered by the fees (which they are not,
- obviously). I think you may be surprised at just how expensive their operations
- are and how much of a free ride you are getting, funded by general revenue ...
- In other words, if you want enforcement, I believe you will need to pay on the
- order of $50US/year ...

-
- I have always dreamed of a global radio propagation prediction display
- mapping software program/package, ideally for the maximum usable frequency
- (MUF) and lowest usable frequency (LUF), with stepped values in between.
-
- I have used a simple propagation prediction program for about the last 10
- years, and have experienced some limitations. I notice the methods of simple
- graphical displays have not changed much over those 10 years, and probably
- for many years previous. Each consists of a frequency versus time plot, with
- MUF and LUF frequencies displayed for each hour of the day (over a 24-hour
- period).
-
- The global display would appear very similar to a worldwide weather map, or a
- barometric pressure map, or a relative humidity map, or a topographic altitude
- (relief) map - as each typically consists of semi-random squiggly lines with
- each line representing a particular value. Colour, line texture and shading
- are likely visual attractions, and of course the greyline.
-
- In my understanding, propagation predictions are usually limited to a single
- signal path - one transmitter site and one receiving site, both in geographic
- co-ordinates. A number of simple prediction plots are often computed and
- plotted for various periodicals. They are great, and I notice they vary in
- detail. However they are static, assume mean (or by other predictive means)
- solar flux or sunspot number and it's sometimes difficult to find a region
- that's close enough to the location you want to work with. Sometimes you want
- to look at many regions in one effort - easy when you're looking at separate
- 2-D plots. What is needed is overlays - like what navigators use on their
- ocean maps. The more information the eye can take in the better.
-
- A global propagation prediction map display, ideally on a computer, would
- make use of the latest solar flux (or sunspot number) value, possibly the
- various popular indices such as the A index and K index. A general relief map
- for global propagation at that time (ie realtime clock) would be displayed
- by default. The user should be able to select a transmitter location and, if
- the user's geographic location is entered/stored, a specific plot for that
- signal path (ie the short and long paths) would be displayed. A number of
- different displays would be possible, either merged onto the same map or the
- map cleared and refreshed with a selected plot. Different frequencies (eg
- mid band for each band) can be computed globally and displayed. This sort
- of display would be useful on DXpeditions (except for the computer rf
- noise/hash :-).
-
- The graphical front-end could be built around an existing propagation
- prediction program/algorithm. Like building a laboratory robot - build the
- electronic and mechanic internals first, take off the shelf whatever pre-built
- technology you can, and then build the front-end body over all that. Rather
- than writing the front-end first and encounting difficulties with breaks in
- the algorithm. The global graphical display lines would be incremented
- geographic co-ordinates, along a given path or in a surface grid. For an
- incremented frequency plot, a grid scheme would be employed, in this case
- displaying everywhere over the surface where that frequency propagates.
- (Think of those barometric pressures lines). None of this should have to
- require a supercomputer or a specialised work station, ie make use of any
- standard microcomputer resource for porting of source code to all platforms.
-
- For more advanced programming, the various ionosphere layers, the troposphere
- (for VHF propagation), and any other atmospheric layers that may be involved,
- could be displayed also. Surface shading could represent one atmospheric
- condition or another (eg tropospheric ducting). This would no doubt require a
- lot more computing time and/or power/hardware. Some of the theory/algorithms
- to be used may not already imbedded in the original algorithm adapted, so
- the atmosphere events plots would require some further algorithms.
-
- I got my BASIC algorithm from Radio Netherlands. Radio Sweden International's
- Sweden Calling DXers department put out a DXers Guide to Computing booklet
- which may be worth checking ou
-
- I expect the global display, whether it be in 3-D spherical or in Mercator
- projection form, would bring about a number of technical problems. But if
- achievable, and nonetheless worth the experimenting with, it might be applied
- in many scientific field, and hopefully win you an innovative award or two!
-
- The whole idea probably sounds absurd. :-)
- But do have a think about it.
-
- Ironically, in terms of the Sun, I have been writing this response while that
- annular eclipse of the Sun has been occurring in the U.S. It is an ungodly
- time of the morning here in New Zealand (after 4am). I've been watching it on
- CNN.
-
- Good luck if you decide to go ahead with something like this.

-
- Greetings! After moving across the country and losing net access, I'm finally back! (Apologies to the person I was going
- to buy the filter from, my access got cut sooner than expected and I lost your address). Anyway, I'm working off a listserv
- and don't have access to rec.radio.swap so...
- Wanted: Shortwave receiver....something along the lines of a Radio Shack DX-440 or DX-390....
- Also, can anyone provide detailed info on the foothil hamfests (costs of admission, real time to show up for good
- deals, etc.)
-
- Thanx
-

- Subject: Willful Interference
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- In my community two of the local repeaters has been plagued by an
- individual or individuals who is causing willful interference with
- others by constantly kerchuncking the repeater and also using DTMF
- tones when others are on the air. This appears to be a willful
- attempt to disrupt communications. I am looking for any insights
- that people may have regarding the psychopathology of people who
- engage in this behavior. Any insights or experience that people on
- the net have had with these individuals would be most welcome. When
- people have been caught were they well known and what was the
- motivation?
