If they're *good* operators (as opposed to simply *fast* operators) they'll cheerfully comply. If they're not running full break-in or not pausing much between characters (semi-breakin operation) they may not hear you, so you'll have to wait until they finish. >I did notice that I seemd to be sending my callsign interchanges faster >than I was ready to copy, so I have deliberately slowed that down in the >hopes that it will convey to possible contacts the speed at which I'm >prepared to copy. Excellent! You've identified one of the common problems (most of us do, or have done, exactly the same thing), and you're right, people usually assume that whatever speed you use for your calls is the speed you intend to use for the contact. To send your calls too fast and then ask everyone who answers at that speed to QRS is - well, there's no other way to put it - "lid-dish." >You know, I *swore* that I wouldn't like CW, that it was anachronistic >and technically obsolete.

David, you're well on the way to being a good CW operator already - you're *asking questions*! Might I suggest that you invest in a copy of the "Radio Amateur's Operating Manual" from ARRL; it's a little pricey, but chock full of good info. I buy a new edition every few years. It has tips on all types of operating, and will help you quite a bit when/if you start chasing DX, or operating in traffic nets, or whatever. Yes, CW is *technologically* obsolete, but as a communications medium it still has much to recommend it. And it is fun for many (but not all, and that's not meant as an indictment against those who don't like it). And, finally, let's try a sked sometime! I can work all bands 80-10 plus WARC; maybe 40 or 30 meters at night would be good. 73 DE K4MSG (|_|) Paul H.

Sams Photofacts publishes a full series of just about everything electronic. If the local library doesn't have it, they can get it. They may need to do an Interlibrary Loan search, and your info will probably be found at some well-equipped technical library. Since older things of this nature might not be loaned out, I'd bet you could get a photocopy made for a nominal charge.

I don't remember any Latin >now. Well, at least you're honest about your attitude, but I'll be surprised if you ever learn the code until you can take it as less of a personal affront. What I would suggest is that you listen to code (ARRL broadcasts or PC-generated) and just try to let it flow over you, writing letters as you hear them but *not* thinking about them, and *not* going back to correct mistakes or add letters ("A-hah! That letter two words ago was an F, not an L!"). Just pick off letters as lazy as can be, like you just couldn't be bothered to think about it if it doesn't come immediately and automatically. I think this will help you to develop an automatic response that prevents too much thinking, which I believe is the biggest obstacle to managing the code. Pounding your head into the keyboard is discouraged, as is telling everyone who will listen how stupid CW is and how much you hate it. Surely, after all that work, you'll try at least *one* CW QSO, won't you? (See the post a few days ago by the guy who was astonished at how much fun he was having with his new-found CW skills.)

Is it possible >for an HT to confuse the radar and trigger the system? ground wind profilers work around 449 MHz. they primarily look up. probably cause a problem with some repeater systems, they're not bothered much by an FM carrier, you'd think (or hope..). the stuff on the plane is based on the weather radar in the plane. that's X band stuff. an awful lot of signal processing goes on to get clear air turbulence detection..i actually think it's amazing that it can be done at all...and radar in general uses a lot of computer power to permit detailed analysis of the returns...I don't think it's just a simple pulse scheme either. i think the only automation to get a warning to the pilot is over the comm radio...windshear detection is still in its infancy so i don't think the pilots would act on a uncorroborated windshear annunciation alone...and in some cases there may be nothing to be done except ride it out, apply power and get ready to go around..as the equipment designers and flight crews get experience with these new fangled gadgets, it will probably become indispenceable...if there was a way to tie up the profiler data with aircraft detection data quickly and accurately, you'd probably get a neat 3D view of the winds at the airport... bill wb9ivr ------------------------------ Date: 21 Oct 94 16:20:56 GMT From: slg@rfc.COMm.harris.COM (Steven L Goldstein) Subject: Yaesu 757+GXII When I first passed my Novice and exam and found myself in the market for a solid-state HF rig w/ a good feature set but cost less than $1000, I found myself deciding between a used 757GXII and a used Icom 735. After doing a lot of research and talking to a lot of hams who have used or sold or repaired both rigs, the answer I almost universally got between the 2 rigs was BUY THE ICOM 735. Better design. Better reliability. Better performance. The 735 is a classic that's easy to find on the used market for approx the same price as the 757GXII. Perhaps you should reconsider which rig you should be shopping for. 73 de KB2PWM ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Oct 94 22:40:39 -0500 From: Ed Ellers <edellers@delphi.com> References<199410191325.GAA17755@ucsd.edu> <3837hc$3sp@cville-srv.wam.umd.edu>, <Tony_Pelliccio-1910941531100001@adis-215.adis.brown.edu> Subject: Re: Deignan's List of Dead Hams, etc. Tony Pelliccio <Tony_Pelliccio@brown.edu> writes: >I don't mind a no-code who doesn't complain/whine/bitch about HF access >and who doesn't act like a complete fool when tropo occurs.
