U.S. Government picks up millions of dollars on frequency sale
--------------------------------------------------------------

You  have probably read recently about the sale of frequencies
that the FCC has auctioned off to the private sector. The bids
were  far  beyond anything the FCC  has  anticipated. In fact,
millions of dollars over their estimates.  A recent  newspaper
article  quoted  the government gain in the area  of  1  (one)
billion  dollars.  No  doubt  our Senators  and  Congressional
people will be watching this action very closely.  I hope  you
read between the lines here. If frequencies are in such demand
and  worth  such huge amounts of money,  what's next,  we  may
wonder.

I'm concerned that maybe one day these independent sources are
going to be looking at the amateur service with the thought of
maybe reducing our frequency spectrum. On the other hand, what
if  the  government  should decide one day to  start  charging
Amateurs a yearly licensing fee.  A little simple  mathematics
here  would  indicate  Big Brother could pick up a  couple  of
billion dollars every year.

Oh,  you're not worried!  ... Okay, maybe not today but, look-
out  big business is just around the corner watching  everyone
and looking everywhere for frequencies.  Besides, don't forget
the recent loss in the 220 MHz band. Also keep in mind that in
some  countries  around  the world it is common  to  charge  a
yearly licensing fee t0 amateurs.

Please  don't think that I'm an alarmist.  My only  intent  is
to  alert  you that these are important issues  everyone  must
keep in mind.  The old cliche -- Use it or lose it -- that has
been  applied  to  our frequencies so many times  still  holds
true.  At all times we must demonstrate the usefulness of  our
fraternity and be ever alert to any invasion thereof.

>But does every Ham have a right to have his own repeater?

A very good question and the answer certainly must be *NO*. In
fact I have to question why someone would put up a repeater in
an area that is already blanketed with coverage from other
machines. Unless his repeater can offer coverage that *none*
of the others provide one can only guess his reason must be
to feed his ego.

Some will argue for redundancy in case of a widespread emergency
but if your area of coverage has a 144, a 220, and a 440 mc machine
on different mountain tops the necessary redundancy is covered;
why duplicate that coverage with a dozen more 2M repeaters?

And I dare say that *most* QSO's conducted on repeaters are in
violation of Part 97 since they could be done via simplex at lower
power than the repeater; a repeater QSO uses twice the spectrum
as a simplex QSO.

I would love to see a resurgence of low power simplex utilizing
high gain antennas, and use of a repeater when only simplex fails.

   I think the salient word could be "Direct"  It's unreasonable to
expect DX stations to pay for very expensive direct postage when cheaper
means ought to be available. Isn't this exactly what the QSL bureaux are
supposed to fix. Not all countries have bureaux, but would it not be
better to set more up and to subsidise them rather that throwing money
at post offices ?

   The bureaux are never fast enough for some people, if they really
want to hurry, it's fair that they should bear all the extra costs,
perhaps the total cost. Even so, they create extra pressure and workload on
the victim, the DX station.

   Perhaps a "Bureau only" expedition would be kinder than my QSL-free
one?   I still think we're too hung up on pretty pieces of paper.

   I haven't tried this yet, but a friend of mine was telling me about a
conductive spray that you can buy, that you can spray over all of the insides
of the plastic parts, case etc. (alot of cases have a plastic front panel) to
provide a somewhat better sheilded cabinet.  Working on an IBM PS/70 recently
I noticed that this is what IBM has done to provide a better RF shield.  If I
understand my physics correctly, and I've had some, theoretically, nothing can
radiate if it is boxed up tight...but that is the word..."tight".  Just to note,
IBM even has a plate that goes between the motherboard and the case- around the
built-in video and serial parallel ports which has alot of "fingers" or spring
loaded strips of metal that provide a good electriacal contact along the plate
surface to the case.  This might provide an idea or two.  You could experiment
even with tinfoil if you are careful but don't forget to provide some way for
the thing to ventalate well.  You might also check out your monitor as well.
Many of the cheaper monitors have _Alot_ of stray electromagetic fields as well
which amy be contributing to the problem..(example- my dad purchased a cheap
VGA monitor and because of his application, had to place it next to his IBM
8513 (VGA) monitor.  The stray fields from it would mess up the picture on his
IBM monitor- even several inches away...on the other hand, when that monitor
finally died he purchased a NEC 4FG and places it _NEXT_ to it now and has _NO_
problem...just a thought.  Good luck and have fun experimenting.

Space shuttle air-ground communications are rebroadcast by
WA3NAN at the Giddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD on
3860 and 7185 LSB and 14295, 21395 and 28650 USB.

During 'SAREX' missions - when hams are on board - they (the
licensed astronauts) transmit on 145.55, voice and Packet.

Beyond this, is gets a lot tougher.  The principal comm link
between the shuttle and ground stations is multiplexed digital
S-Band, 2287.5 MHz.  However, 296.8 and 259.7 MHz are also used
- AM mode - for backup, and during liftoff and landing.  I
have, in fact, monitored direct shuttle transmissions here -
shortly after a liftoff, and, once, during an EVA.

Good luck!

If you were working 120 QSOs or more per hour, as I was doing from
Slovenia and as many rarer DX stations do when they try to give as many
people a QSO with them as want one ... that's between $35 and $60 an hour
which can certainly add up if you spend a few evenings a week on the
radio!

I don't know too many people who could QSL 100% direct with such costs,
and work on the air more than an hour or two a week.

It is really a mistake to consider one's own experiences operating
from a non-rare spot in the States, and apply it to "rare" DX.

In addition, in many countries, overseas postal costs are a much
higher proportion of income earned than here. I forget how much it
cost to send an overseas letter in Slovenia -- it was something in the
neighborhood of 50 or 60 cents, I believe -- but the average income
there is about $300 a month, or about $75/week. Asking someone with
that salary to pay to send out 100 cards direct each week is ridiculous --
and a Slovene with a good HF signal can work 100 QSOs in an hour.

In Los Angeles, all the repeater frequencies are in use.  Because of
that, there's no hurry in the various coordinating bodies to tell people
who apply that they can't be allocated a frequency that won't interfere
with existing operations, and that they've been placed on a waiting list.

Because of this perceived inaction, various groups of people have
"formed their own coordinating bodies", some as restricted in scope
as to assert their authority to coordinate all repeaters in, say, one
small city on the outskirts of Los Angeles.

Of course, the radio waves don't know how to observe these restrictions,
so there are still problems with coverage v. interference.

Some of these groups apparently have the blessing of local officials of
one kind or another - police chiefs, emergency services people, and
officers of various clubs and organizations.

Despite these imprimatures, the radio waves still tend to follow their
own nature, and there are still problems with coverage v. interference.

So now the situation is that there are a few widely-recognized
coordinating bodies (one per band), and several much-less-recognized
ones.  Some of the latter are assigning bizarre frequency coordinations,
and chaos nears.

And there are still problems with coverage v. interference.

Sure am glad I'm not a frequency coordinator anymore.

Comment:

Well,  as you well know,  we are one of those countries  where
amateurs pay a yearly fee for the privilege of getting on air.
The Callbook-on-disc in the copy I have says there are 19,133
registered  callsigns  in Australia.  Let's round that  up  to
20,000  and  see  how  much  we pay  the  government  for  the
provilege. That's only 700,000 dollars -- small bickies, don't
you think?

If some commercial party threatens our frequencies,  while the
government  is  bound  by  international  agreements  to   let
amateurs use defined frequencies,  who is to say that they may
not try to milk this cow some more and put up the licence fees
to  make up for the fact that they really cannot legally  take
the frequencies away to earn large amounts of money?

A  small  licence  fee  in a small amateur  population  is  no
protection.  We  must  be seen to be making good  use  of  the
spectrum and also to be of assistance to the community, as has
been shown in recent years in earthquake, storm and fire. Keep
the  community  side of Amateur Radio to the  fore,  and  keep
telling  the  public  about the hobby and how it can  be  both
enjoyment and provide service in times of need.

CQ/RTTY Journal WW RTTY Contest (part 1)
-------------------------------

September 24-25

Sponsored by CQ Magazine and ADRS RTTY/Digital Journal

NOTE:  Major  change  in this year's rules;  NO  rest  periods
required.

CONTEST PERIODS: STARTS at 0000 UTC Saturday, and ENDS at 2400
UTC Sunday,  a total of 48 hours. NO REST PERIODS REQUIRED for
any entries.

Bands: 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10M. (five bands)

OPERATOR  CLASSES:  There is a High Power category (more  than
150  watts)  and a Low Power category (less than  150  watts).
ONLY  Single  Op,   All  Band  entries,  and  Multi-Op  single
transmitter  entries  are  eligible to enter the High  or  Low
Power categories.  Enter one or the other, and so note in your
log.  Single  band  Assisted and Multi-multi entries  are  not
eligible to enter these categories.

  A) Single Op,  All Band and Single Band. One person performs
all operating and logging functions.  Use of Spotting Nets, DX
Alert Packet Systems, telephone, etc., is NOT permitted.

  B) Single Op,  Assisted, All Band  Only. One person performs
all operating and logging functions.  However,  the use of  DX
Spotting  Nets or sny other form of DX alerting assistance  IS
allowed.  The operator can change bands at any time. Single op
stations  are allowed only one transmitted signal at any given
time.

  C) Multi-Op,  Single Transmitter.  All band entry only. More
than  one person operates,  logs,  checks for  dupes,  use  of
spoting, etc.

NOTE:  Only  one  (1) transmitter and one (1)  band  permitted
during the same period (defined as ten (10) minutes). Once the
station  has begun operation on a given band,  it MUST  remain
on  that  band  for  10  minutes;  listening  time  counts  as
operating time.  EXCEPTION:  One, and only one, other band may
be  used  during the same time period if,  and  only  if,  the
station worked is a new multiplier. Logs found in violation of
the  ten  minute rule will be  automatically  reclassified  as
multi-multi to reflect their actual status.

  D)  Multi-Op,  Multi-Transmitter.  All band entry  only.  No
limit  to number of transmitters,  but only one (1) signal per
band permitted.  All transmitters must be located within a 500
meter diameter,  or within the property limits of the  station
licensee's  address,  whichever is the greater.  The  antennas
must be physically connected by wires to the transmitter.
