ARLB077 Morse exemption denied

The FCC has denied a petition that proposed exemptions from Morse
code exams for people age 65 and older.

Guy A. Matzinger, KB7PNQ, argued in his petition that old age
results in diminished faculties, and equated those people 65 and
older with the severely disabled in terms of passing a CW exam.
He proposed the exemption for speeds above 5 WPM.

The FCC said that similar petitions had been denied in the past,
because the current Amateur Radio license structure was based on
''the desires of the amateur service community,'' based on thousands
of comments on previous petitions.  The Commission also noted that
its rules already provide for Morse code exemptions for certain
recognized disabilities.

Matzinger introduced the results of a survey he conducted that said
63 percent of those he surveyed supported such an exemption.  The
survey, the FCC said, provided an age profile of those surveyed but
did not say how many people were surveyed.

Although the petition got the usual public notice, the FCC said it
received no comments on it.

Matzinger is a 67-year-old Technician class licensee who lives in
Cheney, Washington.

ARLB078 Tech license renewals

If you hold a Technician class license issued before March 16, 1991,
then you automatically are a Technician licensee with HF privileges
(a ''Tech Plus'').

In some recent instances the FCC has processed the renewal or
modification of such a Tech Plus license but has mistakenly issued a
''Technician'' (no-code) license.  (Since June 8, 1994, new and renewed
Tech Plus licenses have been clearly labeled as such).

If this has happened to you, do the following:

Write to the FCC, explaining the situation, including your current
license status, with effective date.  Include copies of both your
''before'' and ''after'' licenses.

If you no longer have either a copy or the original of your previous
license, say so in your letter.

Send this to FCC, 1270 Fairfield Road, Gettysburg PA 17325-7245 (or
fax [phone]).  Keep copies of all your correspondence with the
FCC.

Expect the matter to take four to six weeks to be resolved.  In the
meantime, you may continue to exercise ''Tech Plus'' privileges.

There is an allocation in both GB and Gibraltar from 70.025-70.500 MHz.

I don't know if it's still active, but there also used to be a
4 metre beacon in Cyprus, 5B4CY.

Don't know what to try, but when I set my VHF mobile station up (internal
groundplane antenna) and keyed the mic at 50 watts I found that I could turn
my 3 year old RCA TV off from downstairs.  I now just run 5-25 watts -- except
when I think the kids have been spending too much time upstairs.  ;^)

Lead wouldn't be a good choice.  It might shield from Gamma rays, but as
a conductor it isn't all that great.  To prevent RF infiltration, you want
the best conductor you can get - usually copper- or silver-based paint or
braid to seal the enclosure.

: 2) Would a lead box around the computer eliminate this?

No.  You'd never be able to move it again, though.

It's the antenna's fault (possibly) in that it's too close to the
computer.  If you've got the coax and space, move it outside and away
from your computer.  If you've got bad connections/open spots in the
coax, you're asking for trouble, too.  What kind of coax is he using?
Decent stuff, or Rat Shack RG-58?  The better the shielding on the coax,
the less signal infiltration you'll get.

: 4) Any suggestions as to where I can find sheets of lead (if that's the

Again, try to get some copper paint and braid to seal the cabinet.  Ask
around for suggestions - I don't know of any brand names.

Yes, that's correct.  Usually the worst radiators are cables connecting
pieces.  Try ferrite beads/donuts on them, sometimes that'll help.

: Is the interference (apparently caused by electro-magnetic fields from

: radio itself, or both?

It could be both, depending on how well (or poorly) they're shielded.
Try connecting a PL-259 with a 47ohm resistor (or a good dummy load) across
the CB.  Listen and see if you've still got interference.  If so, the radio
itself is getting RF into it.  If not, it's either the coax or the antenna's
proximity to the computer.

Subject: Need an FT-530 power plug??

  I came across a batch of these plugs for the FT-530. They are a perfect
fit and better yet the plug is at a right angle allowing the wire to lay off
to the back side of the radio. It also keeps the wire/plug from wearing out
from movement. They are high quality and have about 3' of wire on each plug.
If you are interested in one let me know. I don't want any money for them as
I got them dirt cheap. Any wants please reply to my Email.

    The only place I know to find these is on an accessory cable
    purchased from Kenwood or Yaesu. (Yaesu uses them on some of
    their commercial rigs)

    I replaced mine with Molex, 2-pole, .093"-pin connectors.
    They are inexpensive, easy to work with, and highly reliable.
    It is the first thing to be done to a new rig ... after making
    sure it works, of course.

    Sorry, no help on the Standard.

In transformers using high-permeability ferrite cores, it doesn't make
much difference. The object is for the flux created by one turn to
link with all the other turns. When the permeability is high, the
flux is pretty well confined to the core, so the linking takes place
regardless of where the turns are.

With low-permeability materials such as type 2 or 6 powdered iron, the
flux isn't as confined, so pushing the turns together noticeably
increases the inductance. Some measurements I did on an inductor of
8 turns on type 2 powdered iron showed a 43% increase in inductance
when evenly-space turns were pushed together. The Q ended up about the
same as an inductor of equal inductance with more turns evenly spaced
around the core. If you have a second winding on this type of core, the
amount of coupling between windings will be affected greatly by their
positions on the core.

From: [e-mail] (VEKINIS Peter)
Subject: Voltage in France

The voltage in continental Europe is 220V, spread over the two wires. That
is, it is 110V per phase with respect to ground. You cant really use 110V
from a phase and ground because there are trip circuits looking at leakage
current and turn the main CBs off (only in modern houses however).

The frequency is 50Hz.

I built a house in Brussels and had it wired with two separate circuits,
both 220V and 110V. The 110V, is based on a transformer of 1KW that divides
220V by 2. I then get 110V at 50Hz. The only effect this has is to cause
certain 60Hz devices to burn, namely, and this is the only case, little wall
plug chargers that are normally supplied with HTs (my Kenwood TH-21 charger
burned). This is because at 60Hz less power is dissipated than at 50Hz,
therefore the material the charger is made off can be less expensive thus
burning at 50Hz (more heat).

There is no other difference these days, as most household items dont use
the powerline frequency for anything (cheap Radio Shack power timers
excempted - they use the 60Hz for timing purposes).

So what you do is to take a 110/220V transformer with you. They cost less
than half price in the US. As an example, a 110V/220V 100W transformer was
$35.

: On a similer vein... Cable TV in the UK uses frequencies from 40Mhz to 300Mhz.

More or less.  As long as we're legal, I think it's always their fault.
(unless I beam 1500W of 2m at a head-end amp!!! Protect against that...!!!)

Really? I don't remember that debate.  I've got a budy that I talk to
on 40 meters every week who seams to be an authority on amateur radio.
He's been licensed since the 30's and knows all about the rules.  I'll
run this topic past him and let you know what he says!

73 for now.
