Dave,

The newer AEA ISOLOOP 10-30 are all welded, the older  10-20M versions used
bolts for the aluminum tubing and a band instead of a gear for the tuning
stepper....

Subject: Diversity in CW Skills.
To: [e-mail]

We see some widely divergent pieces of advice on learning Morse code
and improving code speed.

I suggest that almost everyone is correct on what "to do", but not on
"what not to do".  Some say not to copy each letter automatically in
a stimulus-response manner, without thinking; some say not to listen for
words; some say not to write down dots and dashes.

I believe that a bit of skill in all these areas could be useful under
some circumstances.

If you are skilled only in words, you will probably miss unfamiliar dx
call signs and QTHs, as well as other things such as abbreviations that
you have not learned yet, or someone's geographical coordinates or grid
number.

If you don't listen for words, and only copy each letter by the stimulus-
response method, you will probably have to sit and study what you have
written for a while, before answering, and not be able to carry on a
coherent conversation, especially under QSK conditions.

If you refuse to write down dots and dashes, you may miss some Greek,
Russian, or other foreign characters, as well as some uncommonly used
English punctuation such as colons and semicolons.

If you listen to the W1AW code practice and CW bulletin broadcasts, you
will see that it is necessary to switch among various strategies and
skills, though W1AW sticks mostly to the English Morse alphabet and to
common punctuation marks.

I got pretty good at audio Morse code, but once had occasion to try to
copy visual code transmitted by lights, as was done commonly by naval
ships in WWII.  It was very tough, because I had never practiced it, and
I was almost reduced to the dot-dash method.

There has been a similar controversy among some extremist people, theorists
concerning how children should be taught to learn to read.  Some think that
the kids should always read the letters first, and then put them together
to form words.  Others  think that there is no point in learning the
alphabet, because most reading is done by whole words.  Both camps are right
and both are wrong.  Reading involves letters under some circumstances, and
words under others.  Less extreme people disagree about where to start --
letters or words.  I have an opinion, and carried back to CW, I'd say
start with letters. ------------- Phil Emerson, AA8JO.

Depends on weather or not the "bird" you want to see is blocked. Depends
on how big the individual elements of her antenna is, and how big your
dish is. The dish collects signals form the satallite on its entire
surface and concentrates that energy at the feedhorn by parabolic
reflection. Unless all of the signal is blocked, it should still work,
at some (maybe not even detectable) degradation of signal. "Birds" to
either side will not be affected.

Try 14.295 Mhz. Also some repeaters rebroadcast the stuff. We have a
local ham who dedicates his satalite system to this end during his
working hours.

George,
At one time a company did market a switch for the
22-S called the VIP switch, definitly not from
icom. To tune the rig below 146 you have to
replace a crystal inside the rig. Sold mine
years ago and can't remember all the details.

Subject: Possible Compromises on Feedline Length
To: [e-mail]

I'm thinking of writing a little computer program to compute the
best length of an antenna feedline, within limits of a user-specified
max and min, such that it comes as near as possible to being an integer
multiple of a half wavelength for several different frequencies, specified
by the user, such as the middles of several HF bands.

Why? -------- (1) For a single frequency, if you feed with a multiple of a
half wavelength, what your instruments at the transmitter tell you is
pretty much true at the antenna end.   (2)  If your feedline is a different
length, you can still infer a lot about the conditions at the antenna end
from instruments at the transmitter end, if you know a lot about the
feedline, using the "Transmission-Line-Equations".  (3)  But those
calculations are subject to rather serious errors, if the feedline is not
near a multiple of half a wavelength (ARRL Antenna Book, pp 27-23 to
27-30).   (4) Now, with the WARC bands, and even without, it is impossible
to cut a feedline of practical length that is an integer multiple of half
a wavelength for the centers of all HF bands.

The program to find an optimal compromise of the length of a feedline for
more than just a few frequencies would not be trivial to design, but does
anyone else think it would be useful? -------- Phil Emerson.

Try it on a repeater. That is the only kind of general call I will reply
to. I hate "monitoring". Sometimes they mean exactly that. Not that they
want to talk but just to key up the machine. Go figure.

 That's correct! The new FCC 610 went into effect on March 1, 1994. As a VE I
 received the new version of the 610 in the mail last January or February!

 It is also my understanding that a Tech plus can request that his license be
 reissued with the class TECHNICIAN PLUS noted on the license! This would
 mean resubmitting a new 610 with copies of his current license and CSE with
 the code credit noted. The turn around time will be about the same as if it
 was a new license.

 If a person has decided that he is never going to upgrade from Tech Plus,
 for various reasons, than that may be the way to go. If the amateur, who has
 a Tech Plus license, would devote only 1/2 hour or so per day listening and
 practicing code. In 10 weeks, the length of time for the issuance of the
 amended license, that individual should have no problem upgrading to the
 General or ?? operating Class!

This is ridiculous if true.  It might be helpful to write a congressperson or
two to get the fcc to put a few more people on processing licenses.  (I'm
