Subject: clip art for QSL card
To: [e-mail]

Hello all,

I am trying to put together my own QSL cards using Canvas or whatever I
can get my grubby little hands on.  Does anyone know of a source of clip
art suitable for QSL cards?  Stuff like keys, microphones, radios,
antennas, logos etc?  I have ARRL and ARES logos in pcx and cvs formats
already, but I cannot seem to find a repository of other stuff.  Oh, yeah,
how about state map outlines?  Those would also be good....

If you have any you have scanned/created for yourself, in whatever format,
that you wouldn't mind dropping into the public domain, let me know and I
would be happy to zip all this stuff together and post to the net/submit
to ftp sites.

Thanks to all

Mark - N5RJF

SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------

             Solar activity was moderate owing to an M1/2N flare from
       Region 7765 (S12W23) that maxed at 1251Z. It was accompanied by
       a 2695 MHz radio burst of 250 flux units of 15 minutes duration
       (tenflare). Region 7765 declined today in both white light and
       magnetic complexity. No new Regions were numbered. Active
       prominences were reported on the west limb near S04 and N09.

            Solar activity forecast:  solar activity is expected to be
       low. Region 7765 is still capable of C-class flares and
       isolated M-class activity, but the overall probability of
       energetic events is decreasing as the region decays.

            The geomagnetic field has been mostly unsettled for the
       past 24 hours. Isolated periods at active levels were observed
       at high geomagnetic latitudes. Energetic electron fluxes at
       geosynchronous orbit were high.

            Geophysical activity forecast:  the geomagnetic field is
       expected to be unsettled tomorrow as the disturbance of the
       past few days subsides. A possible new disturbance could begin
       on the 17th in response to interplanetary effects with a long
       duration x-ray event near the center of the solar disk on 14
       August.

                        Major-Severe Storm    05/10/05

            HF propagation conditions were near-normal over all
       regions today.  A minor SWF may have been associated with the
       M1.2/2N tenflare near 12:50 UTC and could have affected regions
       in all of Africa, Europe, and western portions of Asia.
       Effects may have also reached to eastern portions of North
       America.  Propagation conditions are expected to remain
       normal over all regions until possibly the 17th when a possible
       flare-related coronal mass ejection (of the 14th) could arrive.
       If this disturbance arrives, high and polar latitudes could see
       poor propagation with increased levels of fading and periods of
       auroral absorption.  Middle latitude night-sector circuits
       could also see minor signal degradation if this disturbance
       arrives.  Otherwise, near-normal propagation should persist
       with only brief intervals of below-normal propagation for
       transauroral night-sector circuits.

     All times associated with x-ray flares (ex. flares which produce
     associated x-ray bursts) refer to the begin, max, and end times of the
     x-rays.  Flares which are not associated with x-ray signatures use the
     optical observations to determine the begin, max, and end times.

     Acronyms used to identify sweeps and optical phenomena include:

          II        = Type II Sweep Frequency Event
          III       = Type III Sweep
          IV        = Type IV Sweep
          V         = Type V Sweep
          Continuum = Continuum Radio Event
          Loop      = Loop Prominence System,
          Spray     = Limb Spray,
          Surge     = Bright Limb Surge,

    I sold my W9GRII due to ringing in CW mode. While I agree with
your results, and enjoyed the SSB and SSTV filters immensly, the
ringing in the CW modes was so bad the KAM couldn't even demoulate
CW never mind my tired ears.

    When MFJ finally shops theirs, I'll report on it. They say that
there is NO ringing in CW with theirs. We'll see...

To: [e-mail]

>The annual Melbourne Florida HAMFEST, sponsored by the Platinum Coast
>Amateur Radio Society (PCARS), will take place September 10 and 11, 1994.

set up on the 9th.  General info send SASE to Hamfest Information, Platinum
Coast Amateur Radio Society, P. O. Box 1004 (closest they could get to 10-4 at
the time - it was during the CB boom), Melbourne, FL  32902-1004.  Or call
Allen Hudson at [phone].  Tables - call Janet Madden at [phone].
Last I heard, swap tables were just about gone and the mail backlog would be
cleared up by this evening.  PCARS BBS is [phone], up to 14.4 kb.

>This was one of Florida's best last year, and hopes to be even better

yep -- i think it will be -- look for the collins amateur radio club table on
the inside in the air conditioning...the hamfest isn't all in the parking lot.

>this year!  Only two-three miles east from Interstate 95, exit 71.

oops.  it's about 5 miles from the interstate just to Babcock St. and that's
also agreeing with the "Hooters" sign.  i think 3 miles just gets you to the
Melbourne Square Maul 8).

Easy directions:  (talk in? we don' need no steenking talk in!)

    I-95 to US-192 exit. (New Haven Ave.)
    US-192 to US-1 (east). (Harbor City Blvd.)
    Turn left (north) - stay in left lane.
    Go to next stoplight (about 2-3 "blocks" and is Hibiscus Blvd.).
    Turn left (west) - stay in left lane.
    Go about 3 blocks - you'll see the auditorium on the left.
    Turn onto street just east of auditorium.
    Parking lot entrance is on right about 1/4 way down the block.
    Car pool if you can for Saturday Morning...parking is congested then.

(why no exams? we tried it for about 3 years...the facility doesn't have the
space to hold the exam on site and the hotel doesn't have large enough meeting
rooms to handle the crowds and there'll be an exam at FIT the next week
anyway. so us examiners go to the show like everyone else...)

Subject: problem with Yaesu G-1000SDX rotor
To: [e-mail]

I have a G-1000SDX rotor and last night for the first time it started
doing strange things. By strange I mean:

    - while in motion it would stutter every 20 or so degrees for a
      half second then surge forward almost as if it was trying to
      catch up

    - while in a resting position it would occasionally oscillate back and
      forth a few degrees as if it was correcting itself after a large
      gust of wind

    - after power cycyling the control box, the oscillating disappeared

This behavior happened a few times last night, but not in the half hour
before I went QRT, during which I exercised the rotor to observe more
strangeness. It also didn't happen this morning while getting another half
hour work out.

Has anyone else observed such behavior, and if so, what's the fix?

                        Thanks and 73,
                        Scott

Yep, Beverage antennas really work well on mf, we typically use 4
strung out in various directions for our dxpeditions to NW Scotland
each fall. Lengths are between 400 and 550 metres, depending how far
it is to the sea, and they're terminated at the far end with variable
resistors usually set around 500-650 Ohms.

They're appreciably directional, switching between antennas on say
1100 brings in either R Globo in Sao Paulo, ZDK Antigua or WWWE
Cleveland.

They're also very low angle, with Alaska for instance still making it
over the dark North Pole at 1430 UTC (=our local time), and we've had
sunlight since 0930 UTC

Ah, semantics.  I don't read the term "immediate" that way.  There's
no way to *ensure* "immediate" (in your sense) shutdown even with a
control link, because the control link can break - or run out of
batteries! - hence the requirement for a time-out timer under
telecommand.  That must mean that 3 minutes is immediate enough for
the FCC.  (Those poor pigeons aren't as fast as that, anyway!  :-)

A number of months ago people around here were forced to DF a
transmitter.  Seems a TNC got stuck in the "on" position.  Of course,
the licensee wasn't home and didn't have a remote link to turn the
thing off - he had to go home and do it.  Now, I wasn't aware people
with packet stations had to have a remote link to turn the things off
in just such a case, and it's my impression that nobody has them even
though they leave them on all the time.  Is that impression mistaken?
Your claim implies that the remote link is required, but I would think
there'd be plenty of warning in the "Getting Started on Packet" type
of articles - which there isn't.  (Of course, in this case, that
timeout timer would have worked great.)

Plus, while you are the control op in your example, you are not at a
control point if the transmitter is under automatic control.  If that
rule means you must be at a control point at all times to turn the
thing off at a moment's notice, there's no such thing as automatic
control, only remote control.

In a nutshell, I don't think that interpretation of "immediate" is
consistent with the plain sense of other provisions of the rules, and
I don't see that people have ordinarily been interpreting it that way.
