- The contest is entered under ONE call, even if it is a group of
- operators. During the contest, you may use that call since the licensee
- is ALWAYS on site ;-) and is the control operator. You *should* stay in your
- own sub-band when operating, even if the control op is a higher class.
-
- For instance, my non-club group enters Field Day under my call; on the
- air everyone uses my call. On the entry papers, I list who worked at my
- station. It would be most untidy if the scores had to be calculated with
- a slew of N2AYJ/WX2ABC's on everybody's logs.
-
- It's different in other countries, but the method described is
- SOP in the USA. If you want the glory, use your call; just make sure all
- your buds are in YOUR bands, or that they sign correctly.

- Greetings from the other Hewlett-Packard group on the other side of the

- Division operated K7JD, 2A, Idaho from my "north 40" in Hayden Lake.
-
- Although we ran two 100-watt HF rigs for most of the whole 24-hour
- period, we did it without a generator -- just a battery (big enough to
- have been from a submarine!) and solar panels (just for effect!). In
- spite of cloudy WX on Sunday, the batteries still had about 1/2 charge
- when we QRT.
-
- Our most "innovative feature" this year was a 3-element 40-meter yagi,
- made by stringing wires in the trees. It was rather droopy and didn't
- work much better than a dipole, but wait until next year . . .

- Subject: Got My License!
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- For those of you who offered suggestions when I posted "Waiting for
- License? Wait Some More!" and I griped about missing Field Day.
-
- Thanks! I went and had a good time! I worked a wad of stations
- and logged a lot for another guy!
-
- Well my license finally arrived! For those of you waiting the dates are:
-
- Took Test: March 12
- Received at ARRL VEC: March 28
- Mail to FCC: March 31
- License Issued: June 21
- Postmarked: June 27 (!!)
- Received: July 1
-
- Total 15 weeks, 6 days!
-
- What next? I originally tested so that I could be of assistance
- during the hurricane season that occurs in the South Texas area.
-
- But I will write both my Senators and my Representative to
- try to rectify this excessively long wait. I purposely waited
- until after I received my license so that no one could claim
- I wrote them for ulterior motives.
-
- The Government now makes wait me wait only 5 days for a firearm!
-
- I can walk in the Department of Motor Vehicles, test, and walk
- out with a license to drive a car!
-
- I don't advocate watering down the license process. I shudder to
- think what might happen to the airwaves if corruption took
- place under an immediate license scheme.
-
- But to wait almost 16 weeks while one or two people process
- license actions in Gettysburg is beyond belief.

-
- If the PA-6 does contain a voltage regulator then the symptoms you
- describe suggest that the PA-6 is OK, but when you add the load the
- VR senses overcurrent and crowbars the voltage down to protect itself.
- The place to check is the device which is being powered by the PA-6.
- Either there is a short or you are attempting to draw more current
- than the PA-6 can deliver.
-
- Try gradually increasing the load and watch the voltage drop sharply
- at some point...thats your limit (actually, 10% less should be).

- Okay, 98.6 F (average human body temperature) equals 37 C (approximately).
-
- BUT...
-
- >(C - 40) = (5 / 9)*(F - 40)
-
- (C - 40) = (5/9)*(98.6 - 40)
- = (.56)*(58.6)
- C - 40 = 32.82
- C - 40 + 40 = 32.82 + 40
- ergo, C = 72.82!
-
- Am I missing something, or should this be C - 4? This gives you 36.82 C
- (approximately), which is a whole lot closer.
-
- I've only ever seen the first method.
-
- FWIW, most cheap scientific calculators now have these conversions built in.
