I know this will start a large debate (at least it looks like it might), but I have to ask why does "the answer certainly must be *NO*"? I agree that most repeater QSOs could be used on simplex at lower power, and thus, technically, they are breaking the law. But, how does this make it so each ham does not have a right to have his own repeater? I would say they probably do have the right, but that exercising it is not in the best interests of the ham community at large. I see nothing in Part 97 to say every ham *can't* have his (or her) own repeater. Please enlighten me and the group on your thinking. ------------------------------ Date: 5 Sep 1994 13:07:19 -0400 From: gti.gti.net!gti.gti.net!not-for-mail@uunet.uu.net Subject: Current Wait?

Region 7776 (S08E56) produced a few subflares. The largest was a B6/SF at 04/0605Z. Region 7773 (S08E07) has simplified somewhat. It remains the largest Region on the disk but has been relatively quiet. Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be low. C-flares are possible. There is an outside chance of an M-class flare in either Region 7773 or 7776. The geomagnetic field was quiet. Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is expected to become active by the end of the three-day forecast period due to a coronal hole. Event probabilities 05 sep-07 sep Class M 20/20/20 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green Geomagnetic activity probabilities 05 sep-07 sep A. Middle Latitudes Active 20/30/30 Minor Storm 10/20/20 Major-Severe Storm 05/10/10 B. High Latitudes Active 20/30/30 Minor Storm 15/20/20 Major-Severe Storm 05/10/10 HF propagation conditions were near-normal over all regions today. A gradual deterioration in propagation is expected over the next 72 hours, beginning first over the high latitude regions and then working equatorward over time. Minor signal degradation is expected to accompany this activity, particularly on transauroral night-crossing circuits. Increased levels of fading, periods of enhanced absorption, and greater multipathing is expected. MUFs may also deteriorate slightly during this unsettled period.

A couple of years ago I started a thread complaining about the low cost of parts in a TNC and it's high cost. After getting throughly educated (slammed is a better word) I came to the conclusion that due to the size of the market (600 to 700 thousand hams) the high prices are justified. If the market was the size of the computer markets you would see me screaming about the high prices of ham gear! 73!

Any one have any experience with > the rig? Would you recommend it? > Thanks and 73. Steve. > Steve, I have been using an ICOM IC737 for about six months now as my only HF rig. I am delighted! The receiver is very good indeed and I have also received consistently good reports about my audio quality etc. I run the rig barefoot into a Cushcraft R5 vertical antenna and I am really impressed! After I installed it my first QSO was with VP8CPC in the Falkland Islands and I have since worked all over the place. I have been sucessful getting through some DX pileups mainly (I believe) due to the excellent speech compressor - although technique helps!. I like the keyer and use it all the time for CW with a Kent paddle. I use the ICOM SP8 desk mic although the supplied fist mike is also very good. What would I change? I would like to see an RF gain control and I would also like to have some kind of deviation control for FM but apart from that I think it's great! I didn't bother with the IC737A 'cos I would never use VOX anyway. I did buy the external speaker as the little one built-in IS a little tinny. I also invested in an ICOM Xtal filter for CW. I also use the rig for digital communications and built a cable to attach between the 8 pin DIN on the back and my KAM Plus TNC. No problems on RTTY, AMTOR, PACTOR or HF-Packet. If you want to control the rig from a PC don't spend money on the ICOM level converter ... buy one of Ramsey Electronics cables for $50 and use that - it's what I did! There was a review of the iC737 in one of QST / CQ or 73 earlier this year if you need a different view. In short, *I* like it but have nothing to compare it with as it replaced some very old Sommerkamp separates! It's easy to use and very intuitive to operate. The manual is clear but you won't need to look at it too often. Hope this helps! 73 de --Dave *************************************************************************** * Dave Bondy * dave@g4nrt.demon.co.uk * * G4NRT * dbondy@madge.com * * * g4nrt@g4nrt.ampr.org * *************************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 5 Sep 1994 19:15:51 GMT From: news.Hawaii.Edu!kahuna!jeffrey@ames.arpa Subject: In plain English...

How do you know you have suffered little to no radiation? You certainly don't feel it or taste it or smell it. And what works for you might not work for others: There are some people who have smoked several packs of cigarettes per day for most their lives yet for some unknown reason never develope cancer - but that's certainly not an argument *for* smoking. Recall the true story I posted on here a while back concerning a ham who worked on a 2M amp with the cover open for a couple hours - the next morning he woke up blind. He said while working on the amp he felt *nothing* - no heat, no pain, no discomfort. This story was originally passed over the QRP email group from an M.D. conducting research on the subject. It's the cummulative exposure one should be concerned about.

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu Hi, Herb--Boy, does your sad tale ring a bell! I have no magic solution and can do nothing much than to commiserate with you. -- I have tried torroid chokes [they help some], an expensive AC line filter [useless], aluminum foil shielding over "open" unshielded parts of the cabinent [helps some], my pricey new Timewave DSP-59+ [nothing much, but could be operator unfamiliarity]. My last effort finally did make it at least possible to use the rig receiver and the 386/25 side-by-side and that was simply I put them each on separate house circuits. That did pay off..but, not everybody has two 120V AC circuits side-by-side. I did, fortunately, hi. My computerguy tells me there are specially-available, hurky RF shielded cabinents available..some even second-hand. The downside is he never looked very hard and so I still have the same old cabinent. BTW, regarding the aluminum foil, my computerguy #2 sez there should be no problem with a 386 and covering miscellaneous holes in the computer cabinent; however, he cautions covering too much with the 486 because of the chip's greater cooling and air flow requirements.
