- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- Has anyone taken the HAM exam in ARUBA so they can get a permanent
- P49 call?
-
- I have the chance to do this in October but can't get any sample questions.
- I don't even know what the code speed might be.

- Raymond,
- Please ask the info server for a new index. The current ARRL DXCC
- list, dated July 94 and updated Aug 11, is available on the server.

- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- A week or two ago, someone asked how to get a copy of FCC reg part 15, and
- reported no success in previous efforts.
-
- What I have in hand is a 5-volume set of the full FCC regs, Parts 0-19,
- 20-39, 40-69, 70-79, and 80-end. You should be able to get the Parts 0-19
- volume to meet your needs. I don't remember the price, but it wasn't a
- whole bunch of bucks, knowing my wallet.
-
- In the front of my CFR 47 Reg book, it says "Sales are handled exclusively
- by the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington
- DC 20402 (telephone 202-783-3238)." Call them and ask for:
- CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS 47, PARTS 0 TO 19.
- The full set is reprinted as revised to Oct 1 of each year -- ask about
- when the 1994 version will actually be available, if the 1993 version
- would not suit you.

- among others two programs which I want to recomend:

-
- I got many responses to my exasperated comments about posters to
- rec.radio.amateur.misc / Info-hams who do not put their e-mail address
- in the body of their message.
-
- The upshot seems to be this:
-
- 1) Most newsreaders correctly display the source address of a posting.
- No problem.
-
- 2) "Info-hams" is digest service which collects rec.radio.amateur.misc
- articles periodically and e-mails a digest to a subscriber. Info-hams
- does not have the smarts to correctly display the source of each
- posting.
-
- I have no idea how many readers get their stuff thru Info-hams. But if
- you expect replies from this segment of the readership, embedding your
- e-mail address in the text is necessary.

- Some of the shielding sprays can be effective, especially against upper
- HF or VHF emissions from the computer system. A word of caution, though:
- make sure the spray (it is really a paint) will adhere properly to
- the surface you are shielding; if is not clean, and the metallic paint
- flakes off, you may have a whole new set of problems to deal with. The
- emissions will decrease in direct proportion to the amount of smoke that
- comes from the computer components when the short circuits cause
- failure.
-
- If you are going to use ferrites, make sure you use the right materials
- and enough. One bead of #43 is not enough to supress HF emissions, for
- example.

- Contact the SM to talk about ARRL Section-level activities.

- The ARRL Division Director represents an ARRL Division (a group of
