     As early as the 1920s, a U.S. ham set a record for a U.S. to
Australia contact using the (then fairly new technique) CW mode.
(Note:  By "new technique" I mean the use of continuous waves as
opposed to spark.  Today, "CW" to most hams means "radiotelegraphy"
but *spark* was radiotelegraphy, too.  Don't be confused.)
The *input* power was less than 1/2-watt; I'll dig up the info
tonight and bring it in.  It's in the book "200 Meters and Down"
which was publihed in 1936.

     Since that time, many QRPers have made contacts with only a few
milliwatts, and probably microwatt contacts as well when using
directional antennae.

    James:

    In the real world, you will find that some kind of ground is needed.
If you develop any serious shack, you will need a good ground.  It will be
difficult to run 100 watts into any of several antennas without good ground.

    You will be better off if you can use antennas that are tuned
precisely to the band you use the most.  This will allow you to run barefoot
into the antenna, thus getting most of the RF out of the house and away from
the shack.  I would start with this.  Any tuners will only disguise problems
you might have.

    A good ground on a second floor is difficult, but it can be done.
Just takes some work, which is some of the fun in ham radio.

    Install a good ground, use barefoot antennas if possible, and consider
using a "line isolator" in the transmission line at the rig site.

    Please Email me with any thoughts you might have.  Hope I've given you
something to think about.

Subject: Amateur Radio in Saudi Arabia?

Hi there:
     I travelled to the Kingdom 12 times during the late 70's early 80's.
Since then, I've learned that there is a club station at the Dhahran
airport.  You didn't say where you would be but, it's worth a shot.  A
former neighbor of mine, N5DM, Don Mayhall, operated from there in the
80's.  I don't know where Don is now.  Last I heard, he was a radio
operator onboard some ship line.  You might check the callbook for his
current address and snail-mail him some questions.

Good luck, and 73 de W5EZM, "A.C." in Houston

Well, I must confess that over the years the exact method of its application

suggestions a bit more colorful.

If you ever get an opportunity to attend a Wouff Hong initiation, held only
at ARRL State, Division or National Conventions, stay up until midnight and
become a member of the Royal Order.

Now, although I am sworn to secrecy, I am among friends here, so... in most

            Near Outer Space Transportation System (NOSTS-1)
             Balloon Launch - Clear Lake Amateur Radio Club
                         Sunday - October 9, 1994

Clear Lake Amateur Radio Club announces the maiden flight of NOSTS-1
(Near Outer Space Transportation System- 1)  utilizing a 12 foot diameter
helium balloon as the launch vehicle.  NOSTS-1 is an amateur radio
experiment which will carry various payloads in a package weighing
less than 6 pounds.  All interested hams are invited to participate.

The payload consists of:

* 2 meter packet on 145.75 MHz simplex - the node name for digipeating is
   NOSTS-1, the mailbox callsign is KJ5MX-6, the beacon IDs as KJ5MX-3.

* 10 meter voice beacon on 28.322 MHz Double Side-Band with an ID interval
   of 33 seconds.

* Beacon on 29.420 MHz sending "CW" beeps that correspond directly to the
   outside temperature.  At 70 degrees Fahrenheit the beep rate is
   approximately 200/min.  To calculate temperature from beep rate the
   formula: Temp(degrees F) = [0.56853 X (Beep rate)] - 38
   The antenna for this device is a 2 meter dipole cut to enhance the 5th
   harmonic at 147.10 MHz for direction finding purposes.

* Beacon on 224.72 MHz for direction finding purposes only.

* Potential secondary payloads may include a 10 GHz gigaplexer beacon and
   a 2 meter uplink (147.435 MHz), 70 cm downlink (440.95 MHz) FM repeater.
   Final announcements on these payloads will be made on launch day.

The Clear Lake Amateur Radio Club Balloon Launch Team wishes to thank
Andy MacAllister, WA5ZIB and members of the South Texas Balloon Launch
Team for assistance, advice, and use of 220 MHz beacon & 29.420 MHz fireball
transmitter for this launch.

An informal simultaneous HF (7.155 Mhz or up for QRM) and UHF (442.750 SE
Houston | 444.275 MHz NW Houston repeaters) net will be held at 7PM on
Saturday October 8th for final updates.  The 40 meter net on the same
frequency will be active immediately before and during the flight.


The launch site will be west of the Houston area and the direction of
flight will be from west to east.  Coverage may extend several states
on some modes and even coast to coast if 10 m propagation is favorable.
Reception reports including frequency, time, and YOUR location are
encouraged.

PACIFICON 94 comes to the Concord Hilton Hotel on 21 - 23 October
1994.

This year's PACIFICON promises to be bigger and better than before.
This year's theme, "HAM Radio - Your on-ramp to the Information
Highway" will be apparent in much to be seen and to do.

There will be over 30 technical sessions (beginning at 2 pm Friday)
covering topics such as EM fields and your health, personal safety,
working with public safety agencies, fire safety for the home, the New
HAM forum, APRS, computer control of HAM equipment, Beginning HF,
radio control and amateur radio, QRP technology, Lasers, GPS, visual
programming, antennas, SQUIRT - a new concept in satellites, Internet
as well as the ARRL Forum.

The Saturday night banquet, which always sells out, will feature Steve
Odum as speaker.  The faire is either Prime Rib, Chicken or
Vegetarian.  Following the banquet, at the special hour of midnight,
the mystic Wouff-Hong ceremony will be held.  On special occasions,
such as PACIFICON 94, there is an opportunity to join this select
society.  The only requirements are that you be a currently licensed
amateur and be a member of the American Radio Relay League.  You can
join the ARRL at the convention.  There is no cost to be come of
member of the Wouff-Hong society and you will receive a handsome
certificate suitable for framing.

The very popular swap meet will take place Saturday morning and there
will be a T-hunt on Sunday.  Other events include the Foot and Fanny,
where you have the opportunity to send Morse code using a telegraph
key that is about 20 times the normal size.  You can send using your
foot or ... well, you get the idea.  Certificates will be awarded for
those who can send simple words like "Mississippi" and "Tennessee."

VE exams will be held on a walk-in basis from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm both
Saturday and Sunday.  Bring your license, any CSCEs and a photo copy
of each as well as two forms of ID.

PACIFICON 94 also gives you the opportunity to see the latest in
amateur and amateur related equipment n the exhibit hall and in the
hallways of the convention.

Also, just for showing up and depositing your ticket stub into the
drum, you become eligible for one of many door prizes and the grand
prize.  This year's grand prize is a Yeasu FT-840 HF transceiver with
power supply.  The banquet grand prize is an Alinco DR600T dual band,
VHF/UHF transceiver.  Other grand prizes include a Yeasu FT11R 2 meter

handheld, a Kenwood TH78A dual band handheld, a Kenwood TH22AT 2
meter handheld, an ICOM T21 2 meter handheld, an ICOM W2A dual band
handheld, an Alinco DJ-G1T 2 meter handheld and a Kantronics KAM Plus
TNC.

For tickets, mail your request to (pick up at the door):
    PACIFICON
    P.O. Box 272613
    Concord, CA  94527

Tickets are $3.00 in advance ($5.00 at the door)

I'm pretty sure that radio transceivers are one of the few remaining
"personal-resposiblity" items left in the US. :-)

You can pretty much own (or build) whatever you want, but the *use* of
it is regulated.  For example, you can legally modify your radio to
transmit out of band, but you break the law the moment you transmit
there (outside of an emergency).

I, for one, am glad it's this way.  I had my FT-530 for about three
months while I waited for my license to arrive.  Since there was
little else to do with it other than read the manual, I got to know
all the features of the radio pretty well.

I bought it from the local HRO, before I had even taken the first
exam!  They got a pretty good feel for what I was up to, and didn't
have any problem with selling me the radio.

If you want a transverter try Down East Microwave (207-948-3741), they have
kits as well as assembled transverters, power amps and pre-amps.  I have two

don't be surprised if you get told the same things you've been told here by

new, pass it on...(ITU agreements? International rescue agreements? Others?)

ITU shindig in town on navigation receivers (but those are mostly FM so

I bought a Yaesu plug and lead from HRO, for some $7 or so.

It turns out that the same power plug is commonly used on Panasonic
portable CD players (and maybe others).  You may find the plug in some
of the cigarette-lighter power adapter kits for CD players.

Last I checked, Radio Shack indeed did not carry that connector.  They
probably will before long, since they seem to have all the other ones,
and they will need to add it to their CD connector kits.

The National Science Foundation is no loger in control of sections of the
internet and as a result, there are no official rules against advertising on
the net.  The only thing regulating advertising now are the readers who get
upset when they see ads.  If the ad is directly related to the newsgroup and

Sign me up too.  I don't own any 6M AM gear yet, but if push comes to
shove I can find a use for that child^H^H^H^Hitizen's band radio in the
closet.

Some cable companies try to claim that they are only responsible for leakage
OUT of their system. Part 76.605 requires that cable companies deliver
specific quality of service to their customers. Specifically, 76.605(a)(8)(i)
requires that in a standard system, the cable company deliver a signal that
has at least a 51 dB video carrier to "coherent disturbances" ratio. While
this level of signal could cause just perceptible interference, it is a
decent-enough picture that most neighbors won't complain.

If anyone is having a problem with CATVI, send a 9X12" SASE with 4 units of
postage to the ARRL Technical Department Secretary. Ask for the "EMI/RFI
Package" and "EMI/RFI - CATV." The CATV package includes a reprint of the
article I wrote for Communications Technology -- the journal of the Society
of Cable Television Engineers. Your local cable company will recognize this
publication and will give credence to the words therin.

If you have any questions after you have read the material, contact me here
at HQ. I can usually get back to you within a few days to offer some
additional help.
