In Maryland, try 146.76 (-), know as the Jessup repeater. It has 8 satellite
receive sites and should take you through most of the state.

Also try 146.73 (-) when you're in Southern NJ. This is the Wilmington,DE
machine and has tremendous reach from Cherry Hill, NJ to the Del/MD line.

CHARTER

Discussion of the use, repair, and collecting of early standard-broadcast
radios, phonographs, and any other similarly-related items designed for home
entertainment sound receiving or sound reproduction.

This group is intended to be a forum for those with an interest
in sound-receiving and sound-reproduction equipment that was generally
manufactured prior to the widespread use of transistors.  The group's
discussion, however, will not be strictly limited to vacuum-tube and
mechanical devices, and those with an interest in early transistor radios,
early televisions, and other such items that reflect pioneering audio
technology will be welcomed.

Exclusions:

Amateur radio equipment discussion will be directed to the existing amateur
radio newsgroups and to the boatanchors list.  This is only done because
those groups present an established forum for people with an interest in
classic amateur radio equipment.  Those classic amateur radio collectors who
also share an interest in early standard-broadcast equipment will fully
appreciate the desire to separate the two interests.  Their valuable
expertise will, however, be most welcome in all forums.


Since the summer of 1993, there has been an ongoing discussion among
those interested in antique radios and phonographs (and other related
equipment and materials) about the possibility of forming this
newsgroup.  That small core of enthusiasts has rapidly grown in
number, and now includes representatives of museums, technical
specialists, collectors, and novices with an inquisitiveness about
sound reproducing and receiving equipment of the past.  With
enthusiasm for the preservation and enjoyment of these superb
expressions of human inventiveness steadily increasing, the time has
come to establish a forum through which knowledge of their history,
restoration, and use can be shared by experts and newcomers alike.
This proposal represents the essence of what an Internet newsgroup can
accomplish--it can produce a collective source of knowledge from which
useful information can be drawn for years into the future.
      Bill Robie, August, 1994

           Phonetic Alphabets (Alpha Bravo etc)

There is a widely known alphabet Alpha Bravo ... Yankee Zulu.

In my capacity as the editor of this collection I have no
objection to the further electronic distribution of this
posting in full in circumstances where it is likely to be of
interest.

This is going to start a flame war - I just know it, but I think it's a valid
point, and one which needs making:

If the "No CW test requirments for HF" crowd get their way, and all these people
suddenly have access to the HF bands as well, how crowded will they be?

Since 2m in the US is getting extremely overcrowded, and it is 4MHz wide, how is
HF going to survive, with 3.75MHz band space TOTAL on all bands available. Bear
in mind that this number is approximate - it was arrived at from my understanding
of US bandplans. In the UK the 2m band is 2MHz wide, and there is 3.35MHz of HF
available, since 40m is 7.000-7.100 and 80m is 3.500-3.800.

This won't be a popular view, but if ALL hams, code and no-code, suddenly had access
to ALL bands - what would happen?

Please don't mail me direct - if there is to be any debate I would prefer it to
be on here ...

    73, Scott

Besides the technical problems, there's the legal issues. Any non-ham

traffic can cause grief.

As a result, the mail GW's are few and often much be carefully watched
after.

Well, it has been about six weeks or so since I sent in my 610 form for
a change of address.  Yesterday, I got the form back with a note telling
me that I must use the *new* 610.  They enclosed a copy of the new form
stating I must fill it out and return it.  So, I guess I'll do that and
wait another 6-8 weeks again.  What a wonderful government we have!

No, other than the occasional CW signal.

Well, you won't hear 160m, except possibly in the evening.  There is
sometimes a relay on 18.120 as well.  There is also a 10m broadcast,
on, ummm, 28.320 MHz.

There are call-backs on all bands.  However, what you hear in the morning
on 160, 80 and 40 is AM, whereas callbacks (on 80 and 40) are taken on
an SSB transceiver.

I spotted it!  The quote should be "Because there's no bones in ice
cream" and was spoken by Curly Howard of The Three Stooges in the
episode entitled "You Nazty Spy" (Columbia, 1940).

Did I get it right?

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I have been trying to raise the fact that address lines are embedded,
complicated and not suitable for humans, to no avail. Since I am not a
computer(yet anyway), I have no way of figuring out the e-mail address of
someone on usenet. Even Brian Battles of the ARRL said that it would be
impossible to correct.
Impossible????
All one has to do is add their address line after their name, not very
difficult is it?
After all, I am on a PC running Windows, on a huge Lan Manager network, via
an SMTP gateway, not on a UNIX box connected to internet. I am certrainly
