- Subject: 2M vs 70 cm
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- I'm just getting into amateur radio and waiting for my
- tech license to arrive. I'm debating whether to start
- out with a single-band (2M) HT or break the bank and
- go twin-band (2M and 70 cm). I'm wondering if 70 cm
- capability is worth the extra expense of pricey HT
- and dual-band antennas. Are the propagation characteristics
- of 70 cm sufficiently interesting to make it a worthwhile
- complement to 2M, or would 2M alone be representational
- of the VHF/UHF spectrum? Is 2M becoming so crowded that
- 70 cm would provide necessary room to roam, or is there
- always room at the table on 2M? My primary interests
- for getting into amateur radio are Skywarn, stimulating
- ragchews and enjoying the DX, such as it is, that 2M
- has with the tropo ducts, E and F layer skip provides.
- If someone can convince me 70 cm is worth my time and
- money, and that 70 cm has unique qualities compared
- with 2M, I will start out with a twin-bander and eat
- peanut butter sandwiches for a while. Otherwise,
- I'll be hopping aboard 2M on the cheap while Rat
- Shack and others have "realistic" prices on their HTs.
- Thanks, and all the best. --Bill Ruth, Oberlin, Ohio

- SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
- --------------------
-
- Solar activity increased to low levels. A new region is
- at the east limb near S07. This region is the likely source of
- multiple C-class flares - the largest was a C7 at 29/1247Z.
- Frequent optical surging was observed from this site. This area
- is also moderately large and bright in Yohkoh imagery. This is
- a new region from last rotation and is likely in a growth
- stage. A small new high latitude Region emerged at S23E06 and
- was numbered as new Region 7772.
-
- Solar activity forecast: solar activity should continue
- at a low level with M-class flares a distinct possibility.
- A more confident assessment will be possible when the region
- at the east limb rotates into view.
-
- STD: Frequent C-class flaring has been occurring over the last
- 24 hours, probably from the new region near S07. In addition,
- the background x-ray flux has increased more than a full
- magnitude over the last 24 hours, again almost certainly a
- result of the appearance of this new east-limb region.
-
- The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet. Brief unsettled
- conditions were observed at some sites between 0600-0900Z.
- Energetic electron fluxes were at low to moderate levels.
-
- Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field
- should continue at mostly quiet levels.

-
- HF propagation conditions were normal over all regions.
- Normal propagation is expected to continue during the next 72
- hours, through 01 September inclusive. There is a moderate
- probability that daylit paths may experience effects of short
- wave fadeouts (SWFs) due to possible solar flaring from the new
- region at the east limb. This region has exibited frequent
- C-class flaring and has enhanced the background x-ray flux more
- than a magnitude over the last 24 hours. It will be watched
- closely as it rotates into view and transits the visible disk
- over the next two weeks.

- * DIGITAL SATELLITE NEWS *
- ==========================
- This year's AMSAT-UK Colloquium yielded some news regarding the status
- of several digital Amateur Satellites in various states of limbo.
- Richard, G3RWL reported that the file server on LUSAT-OSCAR-19 has still
- not been made available possibly due to a power struggle within AMSAT-LU.
- The packet mailbox on FUJI-OSCAR-20 is gone forever due to a failed
- computer. The analog (Mode JA) transponder is available, however. Two
- uplink channels on KITSAT-OSCAR-25 have failed. This causes uplink
- contention on the remaining uplinks. ITAMSAT-OSCAR-26 controllers have
- not had enough time to fix the problems with IO-26 since it's on-board
- computer crashed back in May. And POSAT-OSCAR-28 apparently came and
- went, unlikely to ever be seen again.
-
-
- * AMSAT-OSCAR-10 NEWS *
- =======================
- Several stations have reported that AO-10's downlink is FMing. Downlink
- frequency instability is due to low and varying battery voltages. This
- is a dangerous condition, and it is important that all ground stations
- curtail transponder operations when the frequency of the downlink becomes
- unstable to reduce the drain on AO-10's batteries and to allow them to
- recharge.
-
-
- * STS-68 NEWS *
- ===============
- Launch of Space Shuttle Endeavour was aborted just seconds before liftoff
- on 18-Aug-94. The primary payload for this mission is the Space Radar
- Laboratory, part of a comprehensive effort under NASA's Mission to Planet
- Earth program, to understand how the Earth's environment is changing.

- * RS SATELLITE NEWS *
- =====================
- Andy, RK3KPK, the operator of the RS satellite ground station RS3A reports
- that both RS-10 and RS-12 are both in good operating order. Andy reports
- there is a lot of RS activity from stations in Germany, England, Italy, and
- Switzerland. Activity from the Commonwealth of Independent States is low,
- although there are some active stations in the Leningrad region, Siberia,
- and Moscow.
-
- The ROBOTs (autotransponders) are functioning well on the satellites.
- Andy reminds us of a special channel on RS-10 that operates on an uplink
- frequency of 145.850 MHz and downlink of 29.350 MHz. The RS-14/AO-21
- CW beacon (145.822 MHz) can sometimes be heard coming through RS-10's
- ROBOT, which has a downlink on 29.403 MHz.
-
- No word has been received regarding the launch of RS-15.
-
- At the RS Command Station, RS3A, Andy operates through RS-10 only. The
- station consists of a 100-watt uplink transmitter that feeds a groundplane
- antenna. The downlink receiver is an R250M2 and contains 20 tubes. It is
- also very heavy and weighs about 95 kilograms. A 3 element yagi antenna
- is used for receiving RS-10 downlinks at the RS3A Command Station.
-
- QSL cards for ROBOT contacts are available through DF4XW or Andrey Mironov,

- * ENCRYPTION OF METEOSAT HRI TRANSMISSIONS *
- ============================================
- The following information was taken from the EUMETSAT Newsletter, Darmstadt,
- Germany.
-
- Starting in 1995, HRI data will be transmitted in encrypted form. Test
- transmissions have already been scheduled this year. This service will
- continue with the new High Rate Image Transmission (HRIT) to be introduced
- with the Meteosat Second Generation, scheduled for launch in the year 2000.
- HRIT format will provide considerable enhancements to the information
- available from current Meteosat HRI transmissions.
-
- For PDUS users to be able to use encrypted data they will need to obtain
- a decryption facility for use within their particular receiving station.
- Decryption will require a Meteosat Key Unit (MKU) at a cost of 700 ECU.
-
- The apparent reason for the introduction of data encryption for
- meteorological data is its use by commercial enterprises, who do not
- contribute to the cost of data collection, but charge customers for the
- provided services.
-
- There are no plans to encrypt analogue WEFAX transmissions of Meteosat
- data, so reception via SDUS (Secondary Data User Stations will be
- unaffected. By the time of the launch of the Meteosat Second Generation
- (MSG) satellite in the year 2000, a new and improved integrated digital
- data transmission system known as LRIT (Low Rate Image Transmission) will
- replace the current analogue WEFAX data formats and MDD. This system will
- extend much of the functionality and flexibility which are only available
- currently to users of PDUS equipment. Selected sections of the LRIT data
- (e.g. MDD) already subject to encryption, will continue to be distributed
- on a restricted basis.

- * CHINA OSCAR NEWS *
- ====================
- The Tinghua University Amateur Radio Club (TUARC) in Beijing, China
- started its long-awaited OSCAR-13 Mode B operation on Tuesday August 23,
- 1994, signing BY1QH. The satellite ground station consists of a Yaesu
- FT-726R tribander (2m/70cm/6m), a Cushcraft AOP-1 system (an A144-20T
- 146MHz Twist antenna and a 416TB 435 MHz Twist antenna), a Kenpro KR-400RC
- azimuth and KR-500 elevation rotors, a Tokyo Hy-Power HL-120U 70cm
- amplifier, and a GaAsFET 2m preamp. Uplink power is around 25 watts.
-
- The low uplink power is due to a defective 70-cm power amplifer and a
- replacement for it as well as a broken Yaesu MH-1 mobile microphone are
- sought. Anyone who can help is asked to contact Rick, BZ1QL at any of
- the addresses listed below.
-
- TUARC would like to thank CRSA, the Chinese Radio Sports Association, as
- well as Sam N3NFK, Bill KA3HPQ, Jackie KA3HPP, Chris AA2MJ, Allan WA2JVI,
- Presley N5VGC, Max G0PBZ, Rick N6NR and all of the people who have been
- concerned about TUARC operations.

- Yeah--don't do it. I was told by a salesperson that they only sell stuff they
- can make a good profit on. My experience and opinion is that if you want
- quality, go elsewhere. Your tribander is an expensive piece of equipmet;
- don't take chances.
-
- Of course, these are only mere opinions of mine. But I'd spend a few bucks
- more--even if I had to wait.

- Subject: Santec FM-240
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- I have a borrowed Santec 240 WITHOUT the manual. I've found the "enter"
- key and such. My question is, does this rig have transmit "PL" capability
- or just receive "tone-squelch" type stuff? The problem is , I need a xcvr
- with transmit PL on 103.5 for some repeaters, but, I can't seem to toggle
- the PL on here using the "enter" key that lets me select the actual PL freq.
-
- Did I make myself clear here? In a nutshell, does the Santec 240 have a
- way to turn the TRANSMIT PL on?
-
- Thanks, and 73 de A.C., W5EZM in Houston

- Get on ten meters and work ten ten-ten numbers contact. After
- yo have work these ten send it to your local ten-ten contact person.
-
- When you have your ten-ten number you can work other sub group
- of the ten-ten group, ie forty-niners.
- Good luck,

- Well, I wash my baking potatoes in the dishwasher, so why not? :-)
