- I want to operate my ft890at on 20, 17 and 15 meters. The ft890at have
- an automatic antenna tuner built in and have 100 watts output.
- I have a small lot with a 40 ft tower on one side. No room for a beam,
- so I am considering a vertical like the R5. My other choice would be
- an insulated pipe on top of the tower connected to a remote antenna tuner
- like the SGC 230.

- SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
- --------------------
-
- Solar activity was very low. Region 7762 (N06E70)
- produced three subfaint flares. A filament lifted off the
- northeast quadrant.
-
- Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
- very low.
-
- The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels.
-
- Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
- expected to be quiet, changing to unsettled for day 2 and day 3.
- High latitude stations may experience active periods on day 3.
-
- Event probabilities 03 aug-05 aug
-
- Class M 01/01/01
- Class X 01/01/01
- Proton 01/01/01
- PCAF Green
-
- Geomagnetic activity probabilities 03 aug-05 aug
-
- A. Middle Latitudes
- Active 05/15/20
- Minor Storm 05/10/10
- Major-Severe Storm 01/01/05
-
- B. High Latitudes
- Active 15/20/30
- Minor Storm 10/10/15
- Major-Severe Storm 01/05/05
-
- HF propagation conditions were near-normal over all
- regions. Similar conditions are expected over the next 24
- hours. There is a chance a recurrent coronal-hole related
- disturbance may begin increasing high-latitude signal
- degradation on 04 and 05 August. Otherwise, near-normal
- propagation will continue.

- Haven't been following this thread till now, but here is an
- additional factoid. In 1959, when the FCC first unleashed the
- Class D Citizens Band (Radio for Everyone!), the highly-paid
- lawyers apparently were asleep. Licenses were mandatory, and
- the application forms were either provided with the equipment
- or you had to send to the FCC to get them. The callsigns
- were assigned by a scheme in which the prefix was the
- FCC radio district, a number, followed by a W and a number.
- The TV shop I worked for (my elmers, W8FBX and K8UOF hired me
- there, thanks guys!) had an early call, 19W3091, I believe.
- Shortly thereafter, all CB calls had to be reassigned.
- A 19W, etc call did not fall within ITU guidelines for a
- proper US callsign. The KBXX2211 series then was instituted.
- By then many operators had discovered leenyars. The FCC gave up.

-
- I've been licensed 30 years, and held what was once the top license
- until the FCC changed the rules of the game. I've tried most aspects
- of amateur radio at one time or the other. You can't really know what
- aspect of amateur radio is going to be most attractive to you until
- you try it.
-
- The Tech license opens a lot of doors for you, and may be exactly what
- you need for what you want to do. However, if you do find you want to
- explore HF, you currently do have to deal with the manual Morse testing
- requirement. I'd suggest getting the Tech and using that to do your
- initial exploration of amateur radio. If HF operation still seems like
- it might be attractive, buy a shortwave receiver and listen for a while.
-
- If you get excited by what you hear, then you might want to tackle the
- code to 5 WPM. That'll get you a taste of HF operating, and if actual
- on the air contacts at HF excite you, then you'll want to push on to
- General, Advanced, or Extra to get more HF frequencies. Extra isn't
- very attractive because you don't get much for the pain of dealing with
- an archaic 20 WPM manual Morse test. Advanced is the best value in terms
- of priviledges. However you may find Morse easy and fun (you may have a
- wreck on the way to the test session too, IMHO the odds are about the same
- as your finding manual Morse fun). Anyway, give it a try, you might be
- one of those rare people who have the idiot savant talent to be a natural
- modem. You can't know until you try.
-
- >PS I am having a hard time finding out where to take my technician no
- >code examination in the Minneapolis area. Anyone know who to contact?
-
- Contact the ARRL. They have lists of test sessions in your area, and who
- to contact to arrange your test.

- Al, WWV is the station (actually two stations) that broadcast time and

- It's a riot listening to 5, 10, and 15 MHz out here in the Central
