- ABBREVIATIONS, LETTERS, NUMBERS AND WORDS
-
- a. The plurals of most abbreviations are formed by adding s to the singular.
-
- dept. depts.
- vol. vols.
- engr. engrs.
-
- b. The abbreviations of many customary units of weight and measure,
- however, are the same in both the singular and plural.
-
- oz (ounce or ounces)
- deg (degree or degrees
- bbl (barrel or barrels
- ft (foot or feet)
-
- For a number of these abbreviations, two plural forms have been widely
- used: lb or lbs, yd or yds, qt or qts, etc.
-
- c. The plurals of a few single-letter abbreviations (such as p. for page and
- f. for the following page) consist of the same letter doubled.
-
- p. 39
- pp. 39-43
- pp. 12 f. (page 12 and the following page)
- pp. 12 ff. (page 12 and the following pages)
-
- d. Capital letters and abbreviations ending with capital letters are
- pluralized by adding s along.
-
- four Cs
- IQs
- PTAs
- M.D.s
- three Rs
- YWCAs
- Ph.D.s
-
- e. For the sake of clarity, uncapitalized letters and uncapitalized
- abbreviations with internal periods are pluralized by adding an
- apostrophe plus s.
-
- dotting the i's
- counting the c.o.d.'s
- p's and q's
-
- f. Numbers expressed in figures are pluralized by the addition of s alone.
-
- in the 1980s
- temperature in the 40s
- sort these 1040s and W-2s
-

- usually pluralized by the addition of s or es.
-
- ands, ifs, and buts
- does and don'ts
- yeses and noes
- the haves and the have-nots
-
- h. If the pluralized form is unfamiliar or is likely to be misread, use an
- apostrophe plus s to form the plural.
-
- which's and that's
- or's and nor's
-
- i. If the singular form already contains an apostrophe, simply add s to form
- the plural.

- Yes, that was the beginning of the end. 4x4 callsigns were not (according
- to the FCC's own callsign regulations) supposed to be issued to land based
- services, so all of them were actually in violation of an FCC regulation.

- Subject: dual band radios, full duplex operation
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- I was wondering if anyone has had experience with both single band
- radios and dual band radios. How do you find the performance compares,
- say between a dual band radio set to 2m and a single band 2m radio.
- Is something sacrificed in the design, making the radio operate on
- two different bands (e.g. are the tradeoffs drastic enough that the
- performance of both bands is impaired)?
-
- Looking in the HRO catalog, I see most of the dual band radios also
- feature full duplex ``telephone-like'' capability.
-
- Some of the single band transceivers receive on another band (e.g. the
- ICOM IC-21A is a transceiver on 2m and a receiver on 440MHz), and also
- claim ``full duplex cross band operation''. Would the reception be
- reasonable on 440MHz? Or would the reception be poor, given that the
- IC-21A is really optimized for 2m?
-
- Just wondering if anyone's tried full duplex, and if so, is it better
- to do it with 2 separate radios (e.g. a 2m transciever and a separate
- 440MHz transceiver), or would you get better performance doing it with
- a dual band radio, such as an FT530 or DJ580.

- How true.
-
- I have a brother in Dayton, Ohio who I've pestered for years to get his
- technician class license. He's hold a BS in electrical engineering
- technology, and could pass the technical part of the test without
- studying. He would have to study the rule and reg's, but that wouldn't
- take long. To date, he has yet to purchase a study guide, although he
- does maintain some interest in the hobby. (We did go to the Dayton
- Hamvention together.)
-
- On the other hand, my sister-in-law got interested in the hobby all by
- herself. About four months ago, we were driving to New Jersey to attend
- my cousin's wedding, and I had my 2 meter rig in the car. She started
- asking me all sorts of questions about it. (How does it work? How far
- can you talk? What's a repeater?) She finally asked how she could get a
- license. (I never brought the subject up myself.) About a month later
- she got a copy of `Now You're Blabbing,' studied it for two week, and
- passed her exam. Her call sign is N3SYE.
-
- Like anything else in life, a person generally can't be nagged into
- doing something. They have to want to do it for themselves.

-
- Here is the best on-the-air practice you can find. It was true when I
- worked my way up in speed, it was true when I wanted to find people who
- could hold up their end of a high-speed QSO and it is still true today:
-
- Listen on 40 meters, from about 7010 to 7035kc. This is where
- you will find many high-speed CW ops who have been doing CW
- for years and years and can sit there and ragchew with you
- for hours. There is no other band where you will find the same
- consisten concentration of high-speed CW ops with the same
- regularity.

-
- The problem with this is that you will not make the letter-to-word
- breakthrough. I found that high-speed CW was predicated upon making the
- mental breakthrough of hearing and recognizing entire words as one "sound"
- while copying.
-
- Besides that, machine-generated CW sounds like, well, machine generated CW.
- No swing, no cadence, no fist. In a word, Booooring.
-
- I'll still take someone who knows how to use a bug over a keyer any day...

- ***I'd be _very_ surprised if you "see" the dots and dashes at anything
- over 10 wpm! Most people definitely hear the character as a whole sound
- above that speed. It seems a logical continuation to hear whole words at
- 40+ wpm, although I, like a recent poster, tend to hear as words only
- things like "the" and "...tion" and other extremely common strings of

-
- ***Same here. Of course it was 40 years ago, but I went from 0 to 25
- within a year, just using it. Couldn't afford an AM rig (all there was

-
- Hello,
-
- I am thinking of using my Kenwood TS-140s with a
- transverter for some of the UHF/VHF bands. I am
- considering the Down East Microwave models, but
- I think they require separate RFin/ RFout lines
- on the "host" rig.
-
- I am pretty sure that the TS-140s does not have
- transverter input/output lines. Has anyone had
- experience with transverters and the TS-140s?
-
- Is there an outboard circuit that can be used to
- switch between input and output and antennuate
- the tx output to mV levels? The TS-140s has a
- 12v 10ma "TXing" signal avaible. Is there a
- commercial product available that switches and
- antennuates?
-
- I would appreciate any information you could give
- me on this topic.
-

- Now, come on guys. Wayne is a character, yes; but, that's what makes the
- world go around. He has some very good ideas, some strange ones too,
- but he DOES get people talking. And some of his ideas aren't all that bad!
- SSB is still a good mode, I'm told. And, although I don't really agree, there
- are many, like Wayne, who don't likewhat the ARRL does. But remember,
- Wayne is a Life Member of the League. On the show, we may discuss
- Wayne's new cure for aids by Electromagnetic waves, or how easy it is
- for all to do Cold Fusion, or????

- What was really sad, IMHO, was that no one on our local net caught it! (I
- would have commented, but my QTH is in a hill shadow from the repeater)

- Refresh my memory: Is it *illegal* or just poor operating practise
- (clearly, it's the latter).
