- I'm not sure this belongs in .policy any more.
-
- My great-uncle was a railroad telegrapher, and they taught him to
- write left-handed, so he could send with his right.
-
- I've been considering trying to learn to use a paddle left-handed, so
- that I can keep a pencil in my right. Any opinions on this?
- I haven't learned to use a paddle yet. I'm still working on copying

- Subject: Repeaters in So. Calif?
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- While studing for my license, I like to listen in on the conversations
- that go on. I also found out that Gordon West does a On-Air Code
- review and practice on Monday & Tues. 04:00 Zulu or 8:00 PM on
- 144.330 (Simplex)
-
- What I would like to do is get a list of repeaters in So. California
- that I can tune into. And when I get my ticket talk on. Does
- anyone have a list or know where I could find one. Is there a repeater
- guide published.
-
- If you know of some repeaters in Southern California could you provide:
-
- (2 meter for right now)
-
- 1) receive freq.
- 2) transmit/receive split
- 3) subtone if any
-
-
- Once I'm able to transmit I want to be able to get on the air asap.
- I currently have a 2 meter hand held, but will be purchasing
- a home based rig once I'm licensed. I'm going to try for the
- Technicion Plus (with code) when I test.
-
- See you on the air....

- Subject: Where is the best place to install a low pass filter &c.
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- Well, if I were really paranoid about the signal that I was
- putting into the local CATV lines and the power lines and the
- phone lines (presuming that you, like me, were foolish enough
- to sell a nice house in a reasonably quiet neighborhood with
- all electrical and phone services buried under the old earth
- and move to a main drag through a place where Ma and Pa Kettle
- Meet the Dukes of Hazard), I'd put a low power TVI/LPF between
- the transceiver and the kw amp and a high power TVI/LPF between
- the amp and the antuna tenner and then I'd just sit back and
- wait for the shotgun butts to start putting neat dents in your
- front door (or the side of your head, if the door is on cheap
- hinges, like mine). And then I'd join the QRP ARCI and the G-QRP
- Club and give up. Or go after a DXCC on Internet.
-
- I know it's dangerously cynical and probably not PC. But what
- the hey, if I can't run power on the radio, I may was well
- run off my mouth, eh?

-
- Sorry, it's backwards, Scott. Americans in Canada and Canadians in
- the US are supposed to put the identifies after their calls. You
- should be IDing NF3I/VE3. See the relevant reciprocal treaty, TIAS
- 2508, in the back of the FCC Rule Book (Appendix 4) or in the library
- if can find it there. It's not the same as for other countries.
-
- As for using "N#" or "K#" as the identifier, it's not prohibited (that
- I can find). Most people still use "W", though.
-
- Oh, and one more joker. Reciprocal ops here and Americans in Canada
- are supposed to give their location by city/town and
- state/province/commonwealth/posession once per contact.
-
- Of course, none of this quite qualifies as a hanging offense.
