- Who runs a repeater with a few hundred watts output?? Here in Toledo, OH
- I don't think any of the 2 meter repeaters put out more than 50 watts when the
- AC voltage is on, most rely on good antennas and sites - not brute force.
- When you get your ticket, I bet you'll find a fair number of people running
- lots of power, but not many repeaters. The most power I run on VHF is 40W
- and it does just fine. To do any better,I need to improve my antenna not
- my amp!

- SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
- --------------------
-
- Solar activity was low. Region 7773 (S07W92) produced a
- long duration C8/SF flare at 11/0505Z. This flare was
- accompanied by a weak Type II sweep burst and a loop prominence
- system. Active surging was observed within the region
- throughout the period. The remaining regions were stable. New
- Region 7778 (S06W53) was assigned.
-
- Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
- very low to low. Region 7773 could produce a C-class flare from
- beyond the west limb.
-
- The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels
- for the past 24 hours at middle latitudes. High latitude
- conditions ranged from quiet to minor storm levels. The
- storming occurred from 11/0600-1500Z and was probably due to
- coronal hole effects. A GT 10 MeV proton enhancement followed
- the long duration flare mentioned above. The enhancement began
- near 11/0700Z, reached a maximum of 1.2 pfu at 11/0935Z, and
- returned to background levels near 11/1300Z. The GT 2 MeV
- energetic electron flux was in the high range.
-
- Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
- expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels during the first
- two days. Brief periods of active to minor storm levels are
- also possible at high latitudes during local nighttimes. The
- field is expected to increase to active to minor storm levels
- on the third day in response to the long duration C8/SF flare
- mentioned above. Periods of major storming will be possible at
- higher latitudes. An isolated southern hemispheric coronal hole
- may affect the field during the final day as well.

- B. High Latitudes
- Active 10/10/30
- Minor Storm 05/05/30
- Major-Severe Storm 01/01/25
-
- HF propagation conditions were normal over most regions
- today. Reduced levels of geomagnetic activity returned
- propagation to usable levels over all regions. However, high
- and polar latitude paths still observed periods of minor signal
- degradation during the local night sectors. Similar
- near-normal conditions are expected through to 14 September.
- On 14 September, effects from today's long-duration flare may
- increased levels of geomagnetic and auroral activity and
- produce minor signal degradation for polar to upper-middle
- latitude paths. There is also a fairly good chance that this
- disturbance may not arrive. If so, near-normal propagation
- should persist with occasional minor signal degradation
- possible over the high and polar latitudes if effects of the
- southern polar coronal hole arrive.

-
- There is such a program, a wondoze program. Golden Wave allows
- continuous, "circular", recording. The program is available as
- shareware on the Simtel mirror sites (oak.oakland.edu, for one).
- The file name is something like "GLDWV30.ZIP" or some such thing.
- I have a keyboard macro program that allows me to pass keystrokes
- to the Golden Wave program. I have things setup such that I simply
- click on an icon on the desktop and the recording process starts.
- I use a ~850K buffer/file that is opened and to which the current
- received audio is written to. This size of buffer allows 75 seconds
- of continuous recording at 22kHz, mono mode. I use 22kHz for several
- reasons. I use a real stereo and large stereo speakers in the shack.
- The recorded sound is a heck of alot better that what comes out of
- the tiny speaker on the hood on my IC-765. Secondly, you don't get
- aliasing crap when recording CW. I recorded my QSO with 6W6JX
- on 160M CW and keep it around to show folks that I really worked
- someone outside of the county on 160M :^)
-
- There are other programs out there that allow circular recording.
- Look around and you will find something to fit your needs.

- Another thought on learning code. Get an all mode VHF rig - 6m or 2m and
- practice! The FCC says you are allowed all legal modes on VHF, so get
- on 6 and/or 2 with CW at your 2-3 wpm and before you know it, you'll

- Mike,
- You can always (under the current rules) keep your current call when you
- upgrade. I don't think the FCC will issue you a new license just to get
- the Tech Plus designation - why not work on the code speed & theory
- and get the general out of the way??? Just a thought.

- I don't believe there are any wide-area newsgroups specifically
- catering to the interesting bands, however, there is a mailing
- list dedicated to the theme. It is hosted by the Stanford University
- amateur radio club and you may subscribe to it by sending a
- subscription request to listserv@w6yx.stanford.edu. The mailing
- list name is, aptly enough, vhf.

- Try using the following as the body of a mail message addressed to
