'ham-equip digest' (same for 'info-hams') which I cant answer (see the From:

Subject: Amateur Radio in Saudi A
To: [e-mail]

Greetings Greg:

    We spent about 2 and 1/2 years in Jeddah in the mid 80s.
Generally communications seemed to be quite restrictive. I have heard a
Saudi station from the east side. It was an American that was working
for an oil company. I also worked a ham who was out of Jeddah on a
dxpedition in India I beleive. He worked as a pilot for Saudia airlines
and if I remember correctly he was a Canadian. If you check the call
book you could possibly record hams listed there and contact them when
you get there to find out about the regulations.

    I hope this information is helpful.

Subject: ETO 50MHz NMR amplifier info sought..
To: [e-mail]

I have a 50 MHz "driver" amplifier for an NMR device.  It was made by
ETO (the same people who make the Alpha amateur amplifier). Unfortunately
ETO won't tell me anything about the amp because they manufactured it
for another company. They wouldn't even tell me the name of the company!!

I have the circuit diagram but what I want to find out is at what power
level it was used at.  I would also like to find out what the transformer/
power supply is good for.  The valve (tube) is a 3CX800 equivalent but
some of the componentry looks whimpier than 800 watts. (the output connector
is a BNC!).  If the power supply can cope with it, I could upgrade the
other components to make a very nice 50MHz 800 watt amp.

The p/n is AD101D Driver Amp.   If anyone recognises this device I'd appreciate
any information.

Brian,

The key word here is "translation".  Whether or not you will be able
to pass 13 or 20 wpm by translating dits and dahs will be a matter or
personal ability...most people can not copy above 10-12 wpm this way.
"Copying behind" is a technique which is quite effective at higher
speeds, but I don't know of anyone who uses that technique while still
having to consciously "translate".

I've never had to "unlearn" counting dits and dahs because I did not
learn it that way, but I understand it _is_ difficult.  Try to forget
what you know (!) and learn again listening just to the sound and
rythym (easy to _say_!), and shorten the letter gaps to force an end
to conscious translation.

As has been mentioned here before, you _may_ be able to pass the exam
using the count and translate method, but you will have a great deal
of difficulty actually using code this way...if you actually intend
to use it.

Good luck!

Thanks to the Northern Ohio Amateur Radio Society, Northern Ohio DX
Association, Ohio/Penn PacketCluster Network, DF4RD, DL7VEE & DX NEWS
Letter, K4CEF & Southeastern Cluster group, G8XFT, JH2PDS/1, WA3RHW,
KA3DBN, WB3JFS, K4UTE, W5KSI, W5ZPA, WD8IXE, N0BSH, AD1C and VE3UOL for
the following DX information.

5V, TONGO. Baldur, DS6SI, is now active as 5V7DB. Most of his activity
is on CW (with some RTTY) on 15, 17, 20, 30 and 40 meters. Apparently,
the RTTY operator is DJ6JC and is traveling with Baldur. The QSL
information is unclear at this time for RTTY contacts, they may go to
DJ6JC (Listen for instructions). QSLs for CW and SSB go to DJ6SI. (Just
a reminder! One green stamp is not enough to cover return postage from
Germany.) The length of this operation is unknown at this time.

C2, NAURU. Ron, ZL1AMO, became active this past weekend as C21/ZL1AMO.
He usually operates mainly CW and seems to favor 30 and 40 meters. His
length of stay is unknown, but it is rumored he will be traveling to
T31 next. QSL via CBA.

D6, COMOROS. JA1ELY, JA1ETQ, JA1IDY and JL1UXH are currently in the
planning stage to be active from D6-land. No dates have been mentioned
as of yet, but the group plans to be operational on CW, SSB, RTTY, SSTV,
the satellites and on all bands. Stay tuned!

DX TIDBITS..... Effective October 1st, Selim, OE6EEG, will cease to be
QSL Manager for the following stations: A71AL, HZ1MM, SU1AY, SU1ER,
SU1RR, SU1SR, YI1DZ and 7Z1IS...... Kash, WB2RAJ, continues to
communicate with Lou, ST2AA, and is trying to have Lou send the logs
stateside for ST2AA and ST0K. Once the logs are received the cards will
be printed. Please be patient. Meanwhile, Lou is off the air due to rig
and commerical power problems......

FR/G, GLORIOSO. Rumor from 256 Group is that FR/G tentatively is
scheduled for December 1994 and again for July 1995. The operator on
FR/G will probably be Jacques, FR5ZU. It is believed he only operates
on SSB nets, some RTTY but no CW.

IOTA NA-034. Steve, W4/YV5DTA, will be active October 3rd and 4th from
Anna Maria Island, which is in the Flordia State West Group. The operation
will only be on 20/15 meters and CW only. QSL to: Esteban J. Morao, 850 E.
Commercial Blvd. # 131, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33334.

J6, ST. LUCIA. Several Southwest Ohio DX Association members will return
to St. Lucia for a CQWW SSB contest DXpedition. Activity will begin
October 22nd and last for 2 weeks (November 5th). Operations will be on
160-10 meters (including WARC bands) on CW, SSB, and RTTY. This is the
first SSB contest effort (multi/multi class) by the J6DX crew who won the
1993 CQWW CW in the multi/single class. J6DX or some other special calls
will be used during the contest period. QSL contest QSOs via N9AG.
Individual callsigns/QSL routes will be used outside the contest.

PJ7/PJ8, ST. MAARTEN. Jim/KI4HN, Scott/KA9FOX, and Mike/N0BSH will be
active from October 25th to November 1st. The group plans to operate
signing PJ8Z as a multi-single entry in CQ WW SSB. Operators will will
sign PJ7/ before and after the contest. Activity will be on 160-10 meters
including the WARC bands. KA9FOX and N0BSH will also spend a couple days
in KP4-land after the contest. QSL all calls via KA9FOX.

SY1MF IS NOT MOUNT ATHOS. Several have asked about the location of SY1MF.
According to several on Internet who have worked him, he is NOT in Mt.
Athos. The callsign is actually in use by SV1MF who is on an IOTA
expedition to Salamis (EU-075), one of the Greek Islands in the
Peloponnisos East Group. Thus, Monk Apollo appears to be the only
active station from  Mt. Athos.

V3, BELIZE. Operators Mike/W5ZPA, John/KV5E, Nellie/XE1CI and Stan/W5JYK
will be active October 4-7th, from Ambergris Caye (IOTA NA-073), signing
V31MP, V31JY, V31CK and V31YK respectively. The team will try to have
three stations on the air, if possible. They will be on all usual DX
frequencies operating CW, SSB and RTTY. QSL to each home call with SASE.

VP5, TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS. Tom/K2TD, Jack/N2VW and Mike/WB2YOF will
be operating as VP5R, a multi-single entry in the CQWW SSB Contest on
all bands during the contest. Before and after the contest, from October
25 through November 1, they will be signing VP5/home call, emphasizing
CW and the new bands. QSL VP5/call via home calls, and VP5R via N2VW, via
the bureau, or direct with SASE or SAE and return postage. (Please note
that VP5R is re-issued; QSL this operation only via N2VW).
   Also, there will be a group from the Florida DX Association to return
to VP5 (Providenciales) NA-02 to participate in the CQWW SSB Contest.
The operators will sign /VP5 before and after the contest while signing
VP5Y during the contest. Look for operators: Steve/AB4UF, John/AC4ET,
Dick/K4UTE, Bill/KQ4GC, Ron/N4KE, Mike/NF4L, Jim/NU4Y and AL/W3ZNB. All
QSLs go to K4UTE (Please do not send bureau cards to VP5 bureau!).

VP8, FALKLAND ISLANDS. Jon, G8XFT, will be active from Mt. Kent in the
Falkland Islands from October 18th until approximately February 20, 1995.
His activities will be on all HF bands plus 2m and 70cm on all voice
modes. He hopes to be active also on Packet, Amtor and RTTY. He does not
plan any CW operations, although he stated an occasional slow morse
contact may be possible if requested. Jon is currently in the process
of setting up a P.O. Box to receive QSLs and will publish the address
at a later date.

UA0, STOLBOVOY ISLAND. Sanyi is currently signing UA0QJG/0 and can
usually be found on 20 meters CW between 1130 and 1300z on/or around
14003 kHz. Stolbovoy is located in the Lyakhovskiye Island group and
has an IOTA number of AS-029. QSL via UA1AGC.

XY, MYANMAR (BURMA) UPDATE. Robert, K4MZU, had a chat with Ray HS0AC on
September 21st and Ray indicated that JA1UT, himself and a few others
did complete the SSTV demo with Burma Authorities a few days ago. They
made several contacts throughout SE Asia using the call XY1HT for 2
days. No remarks were made regarding final outcome and further
operations, but looks like some progress is being made.

  I know that it is 'bad form' to post to a news group

but I'm leaving the country monday on business and am
looking for some software to help me study for the
tests.  I will be gone for 6 weeks and I hope by the ttime
I get back I will be studied up enough to get my ticket!
At a local swap meet I got a HAM CD ROM for $10 which
had what I'm looking for, but with out of date questions.
What I would like to find is some share ware programs
that will quiz me on the test pool for the General, Extra
and Advanced tickets.  I have studied the books and think I
can pss the Novice and Tech without a quiz program, and I have
some morse code trainers.
  Does anyone know what I am looking for?  I'm very strapped

don't have to.
  Thanks for your time!

Subject: The HamSat Handbook- has the satellite Freqs ur looking for
To: [e-mail]

I've seen many posts over the months requesting satellite frequencies of
one satellite or another. I just got my copy of "The HamSat Handbook" by
Anthony R. "Tony" Curtis, K3RXK this morning. Flipping through this book
I  am  pleased to see an up to date (Feb 1993)  description of all OSCAR
satellites, their history etc.

Chapter 1 covers the early history, titled "The First Space Satellites".

Chapter  2  "The  Story  of  Orbital  Satellites Carrying Amateur Radio"
discusses the history of all OSCARs to 1993+.

Chapter  3  is  devoted to modes and frequencies used by the satellites.
(This  would be the  reference  material that many are seeking, although
chapter 2 also provides a fair bit of good information).

Chapters 4 and 5 covers Space stations and SAREX.

And finally chapter 6 covers Balloons, meteors and EME etc.

To recap, if anyone wants more information on what's available up there,
I think that this is one very good source for amateur radio enthusiasts.

To: [e-mail]

Hello..N2LQS for This Week In Amateur Radio...We are in need of a little
help on this end. We would like to bring the bulletin service's editing
proceedure up to date, toward this end, we were donated an old IBM XT 8088
machine, with a hard drive, and a Soundblaster compatible sound card (AdLib)
internal.  Unfortunately, we do not have any software or drivers for this 8-bit
card.  Our search of various on-line services and local BBS's with CD shareware
disks on-line have proved fruitless.  So here we are on the net.  Does anyone
out-there know of DOS based soundcard software that will allow us to record,
play and edit on this soundcard on this old gear?  If so, please let us know
here on the net, or via packet at WA2UMX.ENY.NY.USA.NA.

Also, while I'm here, we are also looking for a FM exciter (2 or 3 watts) for
use here in the albany area to put This Week in Amateur Radio on our second
local repeater. No luck on this locally either.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Ah yup, my mistake.  I was thinking it was 1.4*sqrt(2h), but something
in my fingers must have made me type it in correctly, even though
the brain was off in never never land.  I suspect I was thinking of the
factor of 2 you get when two equivalent stations are trying to work
each other, but messed it up.  What's interesting is how much beyond that
though a reasonable SSB station can get.  I know from my own experiences
that 150 watts into a 12 dBd antenna at less than 40 feet allowed me
to communicate with similar stations out to about 120-150 miles except under
the very poorest of conditions.  That's as opposed to the 18 miles one
might otherwise expect.  Also, I believe that even a normal FM station
does better than sqrt(2h), but maybe I'm just on a relative high point.

Subject : Re: Restrictive Covenants: I can't have *any* antenna?

Interesting stuff about ASTA and satellite dishes.  I'm in a small sub-
division that has restrictions allowing satellite dishes and tv antennas
not exceeding 20 feet in height but forbids antennas for cb, ham, or swl!
Right now I have a 20 meter dipole hung off the chimney (kind of in the
back, out of sight) and a random zepp affair made of # 30 wire and fed
with homebrew ladder line.  I'm tempted to put up a Butterfly mini-quad
and call it a "TV" antenna.  I'm also tempted to put up multiple tv
antennas on 20' masts (on top of the rear flat roof) and hang multiple
dipoles!

But with QRP 5w cw I've worked 46 WAS, 37 DXCC and WAC (just lack a JA
card for that one!)
