   I am interesting in getting involved in CAP but can find little
information about who to contact, what forms I need to file out, etc. I
have downloaded the file from the ARRL file server, but this seems more
targeted at military personnel. If you have any info, please drop me a

I passed my Advanced Class test on July 16; the license arrived
in the mail on September 3.  Seven weeks from start to finish
isn't too bad!  The FCC is getting better.

Subject: Hiram Maxim's Flying Machine
To: [e-mail]

By this point, many of you have probably made contact with
the /125 stations celebrating Hiram P. Maxim's 125th birthday.

Now, here is something I hadn't known before: take a look at
the "50 and 100 Years Ago" column in the September 1994 issue
of Scientific American.

The September *1894* issue of the Scientific American announced
that a Mr. Hiram Maxim had built a steam powered plane, which
unfortunately, tore itself apart upon leaving ground on July 1894.
It, however, made history by being the first powered flight to
leave ground.

The Old Man must not have quite reached his 25th birthday when
he attempted powered flight!  This might explain why so many Hams
are also pilots.

There is also a picture of the "flying" machine on the same page.

Don't y'all rush out to buy Scientific American now, hear?

(I wasn't sure whether to post this to *.misc or *.homebrew :-)

Greetings,

I am looking for a transverter from 27 MHz to 6 meters. I
recently purchased (real cheap) 4 SSB CBs and I'd like to
make them useful on 6 meters. Anyone know of any good
transmitting/receiving converters other that Hamtronics?

Please email me.

Thanks - Rob, N1NTE   (email - [e-mail])

I have a friend who has aquired a Yaesu FT-208R with no manual or battery.
Does anyone have a manual that could be copied?  Also what would be a good
source for a battery for this radio?

Subject: Novice class licence and remote computer access. Is it legal?
To: [e-mail]

Help!
I'm very excited about getting into Amateur Radio. One of the MAJOR reasons
why I started up the hobby is so that I can remotely controll my 486 dx 50
from a small 8086 palmtop PC remotely(through a 2 meter HT). After studying
for the test, I noticed one question's answer saws that you are "NEVER"
allowed to have an unattended transmitter. On the other hand it expressly
states that in the 2 meter band, remote access is allowed. I don't get it!
Does this mean I can or cannot have my PC unattended doing either DATA or
what I hope to be the first to design, Voice recognition and artificial
intelligence(sorta like the well hatted "BOTS" on IRC, only now on 2M HAM :)
I will only have a Novice licence when I start this, I'm going to test for
technitian plus but I haven't studied the Tech stuff enough(element 3 ques.)
Please E-mail me back so I know what to work around.

P.S. for those techies out there, I've modified some pagers to operate off
the 144Mhz range and I plan to use them as Radio Modems, I figure that a
pager would have EXCELENT resistance from noise and reliable high speed
capabilities (It also puts out a perfect serial signal if ya tap the
processor) Nice way to give pagers to the whole pamily w/o paying the local
pager companies.
Thanks in Advance for the help, hope to be on the air soon!

In article <34hrdd$[e-mail]>, [e-mail] (Dave Horsfall
Just a quick signal report on the broadcast (morning):
40M - mostly 5 by 7 with a bit of qsb - best I've heard so far in Adelaide.
80M - unreadable
30M - unreadable - seems to be another station on the top all the time. Do you
hear that in Sydney?

No other bands heard. Also, is there a call-back? I have yet to hear it. And is
there a relay on 20M - haven't heard anything there either.

Alan

Hi Gary, maybe this wasn't an info-hams inquiry at all. Info-hams
stuff is posted to and from the netnews groups and almost all netnews
newsreaders are capable of extracting the return address from netnews
postings. If you don't get a real internet account, you will be
forced to live with corrupted addresses... it is not the fault of
the poster.
