Subject: 2M vs 70 cm
To: [e-mail]

John, I'm learning to enjoy Jif.  In hopes of avoiding the impending
2M overpopulation crisis and finding greener and friendly pastures
in the higher regions of the ether I'm socking money away toward a
Standard C528A twin-band HT 2M/70cm.  It's like getting a second radio
for about 150 bucks more.  --Bill  KB8USZ

As you have to deal with some FAA regulatory issues for such an
installation, I strongly suggest you ask this question on one of the
aviation newsgroups as well.  According to how I read the regs, you can't
just install an amateur transceiver and antenna in your own airplane
without having things checked out by the appropriate chap (certified A&P
mechanic?).

Consider using an HT.  You don't have to install it, so you don't have any
of these problems, and a watt works _extremely_ well from a few thousand
feet.  It seems to be what the local guys use when they're airborne.

Subject: AO-13 schedule changed or not?
To: [e-mail]

Oscar 13 still seems to be on the "pre-Sept. 12" transponder schedule, with
mode S from MA 120-150, and Mode B afterwards.

Signals are very strong, indicating that maybe the attitude hasn't changed.

Has the schedule change and/or attitude change been postponed?

SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------

            Solar activity was very low. There was no significant
       activity. No new Regions were numbered.

            Solar activity forecast:  solar activity is expected to be
       very low.

       STD: A full-disk Yohkoh x-ray image has been appended to this
       report.

            The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels
       for the past 24 hours. High latitude stations observed short
       periods of minor storming. Energetic electron (GT 2 MeV) flux
       was in the high range for the entire period.

            Geophysical activity forecast:  the geomagnetic field is
       expected to be quiet to unsettled for the first 24 hours of the
       forecast period, then unsettled to active for the remainder.
       Activity is anticipated because of an expected CME induced
       shock due on the 14th and a small coronal hole moving into a
       favorable position by the 15th. High latitude stations may
       experience periods of minor storming for the entire forecast
       period.

                        Major-Severe Storm    05/15/15

            HF propagation conditions were near-normal over all
       regions.  High latitudes continued to experience periods of
       minor signal degradation although overall signal quality was
       near-normal.  Similar near-normal propagation is expected until
       14 or 15 September when high and polar latitudes may again
       witness increased periods of minor signal degradation.

     associated x-ray bursts) refer to the begin, max, and end times of the

Subject: Digital Recording with SoundBlaster
To: [e-mail]

Lately I noticed an ad in the radio hobby magazines for a digital
"endless loop" recorder that provides 10 or 15 seconds of recording
time which are available for replay at the touch of a button. This
would be extremely handy for analyzing station identification, etc
when conditions are not the best.

It seems to me that the same type of functionality should be fairly
easily obtained through software developed for the SoundBlaster or
other sound cards.  Unfortunately, I am NOT a programmer and wouldn't
know where to begin.

Is anyone aware of any software currently available which  coule
be put to this use?

If none is currently available, any of you programming wizards care
to tackle this one?

Screw the tapes!  As soon as you have passed the 5 WPM you should
be slugging it out on the novice CW bands.  Looks like you already figured
that out Paul.  On the air operating is more interesting and instills a
genuine appreciation for CW.  Tapes and computer generated practice
are boring and make the code a chore.

I only wish I could type the code better as I copied, it would make
contesting much easier and increase my rate if I could type those calls
faster into the log.

Have a ball Paul, sounds like you already figured out how to do it.

Just the opposite worked for me.  I had the tapes "memorized" about the
second time through, so they didn't help much for test practise. :(

I increased my code speed and proficiency much faster using the computer
program Morse Academy.  Also listening to W1AW helped alot.

As for on the air QSO's....These didn't help me pass the code elements
though they were a lot more fun!!

This is particularly interesting, since according to the ARRL 8/17/94
(printed) SAREX bulletin, the configuration for STS-64 is "B", which is
FM-voice only; i.e. no packet.  Apparently they do have packet capabilities
on board...

Yes--you can use 145.25 from about Trenton right down I-95 to about the
Philadelphia International Airport, and start using 146.73 around
center-city Philadelphia, so there's some overlap.  146.73 is good well
into Maryland, almost to the Susquehanna River.

Actually, both of those machines provide some coverage of the New Jersey
Turnpike, although something like the Tabernacle repeater (don't recall the
frequency) is more solid if you're running a HT.
