        I think the problem with closed repeaters is the lack of opportunity.
        I believe that I should have the same right as anyone else to use
        a frequency.

        I vote for the latter. Everything is becoming too crowded these days.
        Open up the 440 band and relieve some of the congestion on 2M.

        Well, that depends on where you look. The vast majority of the 2M
        band is open, but the opposite is true of 440. 220 is (for the most
        part) still open as well. I think the 220 band is radio's best
        kept secret, at least from my location. There are plenty of free
        repeaters that aren't packed. The only bad thing I can see in
        Southern California (except for 440 being closed) is the amount of
        people on the same repeaters at the same time. This really limits
        the opportunities of having a quality QSO. One time I was driving
        through the Valley and I felt like an air traffic controller trying
        to get a signal report as fast as I could before someone else made
        a call. They either need to open up 440 or put more repeaters on 2M,
        because things aren't going to get any better...

My earlier comment was NOT intended to imply that there are no "true hams"
on 80 meters...there are lots of them.  It's just that 80 is where I've
also encountered a lot of rude folks.  No offense intended whatsoever to
all the fine ops who (like myself) enjoy 80 M.  I just meant that we need
to be aware of some of the lids lurking around...this can be especially
disheartening for a "newbie" like the one I talked to the other night, who
was just about run off of the band by some guys who had a frequency
apparently "reserved" - although they were NOT a net and were NOT using the
frequency.  Thanks for the response.

One night (actually about 2AM) I was heading home and there was a car ahead of
me.  The operator acted in a drunk manner, weaving etc.  In the distance, a
town police cruiser had a vehicle stopped.  The drunk driver didn't seem to
notice the squad, and the officer (who was speaking to the stopped driver) had
to jump away to avoid being hit.  I then followed the drunk driver for a while.
In a short time, I saw the town squad in my rear view mirror and recognized the
officer from high school.  I then picked up my ham radio, dialed the county
dispatch on the autopatch and told the operator, "This is Winnebago RACES
operator 69, if you would, notify X-Ray 52 that the vehicle two ahead of his is
the one that he is looking for."  Her response was "Ah, okay, thanks for
calling."  I then switched the radio to the police freq in time to hear "X52,
be advised that the vehicle two ahead of you is the one you want."  He said,
"Huh? Oh, I get it, 10-4."  And, it took all of about two seconds for the old
red and blue to go on and the squad car to fly by (with the officer giving me a
wave.)

So, that is sort of a scanner story.

And, I am going to send this to rec.radio.amateur.misc (as well) for comments
on proper use of autopatch, etc.

No, it is quite clear - one IRC is not enough.  The confusion arose
because the airmail IRCs say they are good for "airmail to a foreign
country" - but they don't specify which one.

Here, airmail is the same rate to all countries (excl. VE, XE and
Central America, I think), but from Germany it is cheaper to send
mail to Switzerland than to Mongolia or the US.   So the IRC is
only worth the "mail to Switzerland" rate, and that is not enough
for mail to the US.   So you need to send 2 IRCs.   If you are
kind you will probably send 3 IRCs, which costs you $1.50 if you
get them from QSL managers at the standard rate of 2/$1.   If you
insist on sending dollar bills, one is not enough for mail from
Germany so you need to send two - but 3 IRCs is still cheaper and
will leave some spare change for the person sending you the card.

Mahon Loomis - yup!

Didn't exactly invent radio, but he did experiment with atmospheric
communications. Seems he flew two kites with wire for leads. In one lead
was a telegraph key and in the other a primitive galvanometer.
Keying one circuit gave a reading in the other, which was located several
miles away.

That's serious qrp work.

Thanks to the Northern Ohio Amateur Radio Society, Northern Ohio DX
Association, Ohio/Penn PacketCluster Network, AD1C, NX1L, WB3JFS,
WA4WTG, K8PXG and AH0W/OH2LVG for the following DX information.

4K2 & R1, FRANZ JOSEF LAND. 4K2BY, 4K2MAL, R1FJL and R1FJC have all been
active this past week (mostly on 20 meters CW between 2130 and 0300z).
R1FJC has shown up on 14247 DX Net around 2145z. 4K2MAL has been heard
on 18078 kHz at 2020z.

5W, WESTERN SAMOA. Cliff, 5W1GC has been active on 7001 kHz from 0830
to 1115z. If he is not on 40 meters, he can sometimes be heard around
10103 kHz during the same time frame. Also check 18070 kHz at 0145z
and 14218 kHz begining around 0330z.

9U, BURUNDI. On May 21st, there was a station signing 9U/F5FHI on 21286
kHz at 1745z. There is not much information on this station other than
to QSL to the CBA (BTW, it was not in the callbook.) WFWL! This is great
news, if this operation is legit. Last operation from here was during
1993 on October 15-16th, by DJ6SI and crew. Several days after their
operation went QRT, there was a military coup in Burundi. Hopefully,
9U/F5FHI is a good sign that amateur radio can still be active in
9U-land.

AP, PAKISTAN. AP2JZB was heard on 21299 kHz at 1636z. From the W6GO/K6HHD
QSL Manager List: QSL via K2EWB. K2EWB sends cards to him and receives
them from him. Send SASE and 2 IRCs or one green stamp.

C6, BAHAMAS. Mitch, KH6M, will be operating from Abaco Island in the
Bahama Islands. Mitch will be using the call C6AHY and will be operating
on all bands 160 thru 10 meters. Mitch's primary purpose is to operate
in the CQ WW WPX CW Contest. There will be no WARC band operating until
after the contest. Mitch will arrive on May 26th and will be operating
from a big station with big antennas. His length of stay is unknown at
this time. QSLs should go to WA4WTG.

EP, IRAN. A station signing EP2DL was heard on 14151 kHz around 0045z.
Also, EP2ASZ has been heard a couple of times this month on 20 meters
CW around 2200z.

FO0/A/M, AUSTRALES AND MARQUESAS ISLANDS. A fax received from Nao, NX1L,
announced that Kan, JA1HGY, and himself will be going on a DXpedition to
these two new prospective DXCC countries. Both operators feel these two
islands fit the DXCC Criteria under Points 3(a) and 3(c). They plan to
file a petition with the DXAC for new-country consideration after their
trip.
   Kan will operate first from Rurutu Island of the Australes group from
May 28-30. His call sign will probably be FO0MIZ/A. Then Kan will go to
Nuku Hiva Island of the Marquesas group where he expects to sign FO0MIZ/M
from June 1-11. Nao will be accompanying him during the first 9 days. His
call sign will be FO0AKI/M. Activity from both locations will be on 80
through 10 meters, using CW and SSB in usual DX windows. The QSL
information is as follows: FO0MIZ/A & FO0MIZ/M via JA1HGY, and FO0AKI/M
via NX1L. Their addresses are:
      Nao Mashita, JA1HGY              Nao Akiyama, NX1L
      8-2-4 Akasaka                    P.O. Box 310855

      Japan                            U.S.A.

  EDITOR'S COMMENTS: The DXAC in 1989-90's examined and voted against
DXCC status for these two islands. The main reason for the "NO" vote
is that the Committee felt French Polynesia was not a Point 1 country.

HL, SOUTH KOREA. This past week there has been plenty of active on 20
and 40 meters by HL stations. HL9DC was heard on 7005 kHz between 1030
to 1200z.  Lee, HL5AWS, can be found between 14180 and 14205 kHz around
the times of 0745, 1115 and 1415z. Harry, HL9HH, has been showing up on
the 14226.5 DX Net as early as 2315z. HL3IWD was heard on 14018 kHz
between 1100 and 1200z.

IOTA NA-138. The Clay County DX Association will be operating on Amelia
Island from the Fort Clinch State Park. Operations will begin June 2nd,
2100z, thru June 4th, 2200z. Using the callsign KQ4GC, look for stations
on 80-10 meters CW/SSB. A photo QSL will be available by QSLing to:
KQ4GC, 4094 Sandy Run Dr., Middleburg, FL 32068.

J8, ST. VINCENT. Well known DXer Rudi, DK7PE, is now active, but there
are no details available on how long he will be here. Look for Rudi
signing J8/AH0G on all bands (including the WARC bands) and working
mostly CW. QSL via DK7PE.

OH0, ALAND ISLAND. A contest team from the Helsinki area will be
activating Aland/Ahvenanmaa in the CQ WW WPX CW Contest as an all band
effort signing OH0AAQ. The team will also be active on the WARC bands
before and after the contest. Operators will include OH2BCI, OH2BVF,
OH2MAN and OH2NRV (who will also act as QSL Manager).

TN, CONGO. Joe, DF1AL, who was recently active from 3A-land, announced
that he and others are planning a DXpedition to the Congo from February
27, 1995 thru April 6, 1995. They will operate on all bands including
the WARC bands and the satellites. Meanwhile, there was a rare appearance
by TN1AT on a DX net May 18th on 14247 kHz at 2130z.

XX, MACAO. XX9GD was heard on 50135 kHz at 0154z and 3799 kHz at 1204z.
Also, XX9AW was heard on 14200 kHz at 1345z. QSL XX9GD to: Antonio
A. P. B. Costa, Box 1476, Macao. QSL XX9AW via KU9C (92 CB or later).

ZD8, ASCENSION ISLAND. By the time you read this, Jim, N6TJ, will be
active again from here until June 2. Jim will be active in the CQ WW
WPX CW Contest, but before the contest he plans to be very active on
160 meters. QSL via VE3HO.
