Subject: 6 Meter "guru" needed.

I'm looking for some veterans and current users of 6 meters. I have
been getting many requests for a show on 6 meters since it's popularity
seems to be increasing in light of no-coder's desire to use it. I will do
a show on it in January. Please e'mail me if you're interested on being a
guest on the Ham Radio & More Show.
Thanks alot & 73,

Dallas Remote Imaging Group (DRIG) BBS Provides Keplerian Elements E-Mail

As a service to the AMSAT satellite community, The Dallas Remote Imaging
Group is providing an automated email response service to request satellite
keplerian elements via email request.

To obtain the latest satellite keplerian elements, simply send an email
note to the following addresses for the specific set of satellites
that you would like.   New e-mail address services include:

               [e-mail]
                [e-mail]
               [e-mail]
               [e-mail]
               [e-mail]
               [e-mail]

An email message to [e-mail] generates a response with NASA 2-line
elements for the week, email to [e-mail] generates a response
with AMSAT style explicit keplerian elements, email to [e-mail]
generates the Ted Molczan Intelligence sat keplerian elements, email to
[e-mail] generates the listing f weather/imaging satellite
keplerians, and email to [e-mail] generates the latest STS-XX
shuttle mission keps during active STS missions only.

To use this service, simply address your email to the above addresses, and
the latest of the keplerians will be forwarded to your email address.
The body of the letter can have anything in it.

The 56 kbps line will be installed at DRIG in early December, and at that
time the software will be modified for telnet and ftp capability.

MIR: German Astronaut Ulf Merbold, DP3MIR, has been active from the Russian
space station MIR over Europe during the recent evenings.  Unfortunately
there seems to be a power supply problem aboard MIR, which prevents Ulf
from using the Digital Voice Memory and obviously reduces his activity to
only a few passes a day over Europe.  Since we do not have exact infor-
mation about this problem, as all questions and answers regarding the HAM
activity of DP3MIR have to be relayed via the Moscow Control Center.  DP3MIR
will stay aboard MIR until about 3-NOV-94. We hope, he will be active over
other continents besides Europe.  The QSL info is: DP3MIR via the usual
German (DARC) QSL Bureau.  [DF5DP]

FO-20: JJ1WTK reports that on 19-OCT-94 that all software needed to start
the BBS was completed and the BBS is now in full operation.  JJ1WTK notes
also that is has been 4 years since FO-20 was placed into orbit.  The
batteries on FO-20 are performing far better than those aboard FO-12 at
this same point in FO-20's life.  However, the FO-20 batteries have degraded
slightly and this has caused a change in the battery voltage power control
unit telemetry item (abbreviated by PCU) to change to level 3.

AO-21: The "total-shutdown" of the amateur radio payload AO-21 (including
the CW-beacon on 145.818MHz) on the main spacecraft INFORMATOR 1 occured
during the following time period: 94-10-12 15:00 UTC & 94-10-13 11:42 UTC.
If anyone was watching the shutdown when it happened or can narrow this
time interval to the very instant it happened, this will be very helpful
data to understanding what is going on with INFORMATOR 1.  The AO-21
Command Team is looking forward to hearing from you.  Please send your
comments via PACKET to Robert: DD4YR @DB0AAB.#BAY.DEU.EU or via INTERNET

Great suggestion - but for the wrong reason.  "Too lazy to touch a key"? C'mon,
buddy - get with it!  The horse and buggy went by the wayside a long time ago,
and so has code.  Even the Coast Guard admits that code is obsolete.

With caveman thinking like yours, maybe the obituary column in the paper should
list who was not too "lazy" to ride a horse to work when those darn new-fangled
horseless carriages showed up and ruined all of your cowboy fun.

You did a good job of pointing out the problems, but your suggestions of
removing license places and staying home all the time are unreasonable.
An unlisted phone number, or one with no address is however a great idea.

The FCC is easy to deal with, since they now allow a PO box address to be used
on the 610 form.  State governments, although they fail to protect our personal
information, are a little more difficult to deal with because some will not
accept a PO box address.  To help the government with their failure in this
area, I recommend that you get one of those private PO boxes (where mail can be
delivered to a street address) and use that address on your vehicle
registration and drivers license.

your questions.  - Thanks, Jim N4UCK

TO:DXbase V4 Users
FROM:Scientific Solutions, Inc.
RE:Packet Problems with Version 4

We regret that many users are having a problem with the recent V4
release of DXbase. The symptoms are an (apparently) spontaneous return
to DOS from DXbase usually with an error message beginning with 1801...
Some PC's may even lock up (although we believe this is a flow control
issue where the TNC causes the program to appear to be locked up).

There is a fix that will be available 24 October, 1994.  It consists of
a replacement DXB40.EXE.  Users will simply copy this into their new
DXB40 subdirectory, thereby replacing the original.

If you need the replacement file please leave a message on our answering
machine @ 404-932-1018.  Leave your callsign, telephone number and
request "version 4.0a".

******* For quicker service: ***********************
If you have a telephone modem please request that we leave your exe on
our BBS.  It should be ready that same evening, or the next.  The BBS is
available weekdays from 6PM to 8AM and all weekend.  Please call only
during these times.  The number is 404-903-5530.
*****************************************************

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.  Once this
startup problem is over, we believe that you will continue to find
DXbase as reliable as ever.  Thanks for you patience and your business.

OK guys & gals - if you don't like the "official" clarification of the rules,
get off your butt and petition the FCC to change the rules to allow the
traffic you want to send.  It worked for the "I just gotta have a pizza right
now and am too cheap to go to a pay phone so I'll use the 'patch" crowd.  Don't
get me wrong, I like the idea of being able to order a pizza via the patch, but
the pizza place is not goin to deliver it to me when I'm in the middle of
nowhere.  If I'm at or going to a place where they will (They won't deliver
to my house - "bad neighborhood") I can wait the few extra min and use the
phone - that's what it is there for.  Back to the point - if you don't like the
current rules, get enough people in the right places to support your position
and get the rules changed!  That is the true beauty of a democratic society.

Personally I don't read much of the stuff addressed to FOOD, RECIPE, BUTTHEAD,
ECT but someone must enjoy it - and that's ok with me.  The alternative to a
rule change would be having each BBS in the forwarding chain forward all
traffic addressed to the BBS callsign.  Then the users posting the offending
traffic" would now be within the rules since it is addressed to the BBS.  The
BBS operators would be covered if they adress all the forwarded stuff to the
regional forwarding BBS - oh no, that takes ORGINIZATION.  TCP/IP can do that
if it is set up properly - I bet the AX.25 BBSs can too.  Anyway, the subject
area could be used to describe what's in the messageand its audience.  That's
the proper place (under this scheme) for the FOOD, RECIPE, ECT.

So, what's it gonna be??  Do we risk screwing up the hobby by petitioning the
FCC, or do we implement a system like the one I described to keep everything
"legal"?  It really isn't that hard to stay within the regs.

Subject: Real Hams

I find the comments from "REAL HAMS" in this conference quite amusing,
and at times very tragic.  I wonder how many of you REAL HAMS are really
aware of what a REAL HAM is, in case you have forgotten, and in most
cases have never read this, I think this is the perfect time for you to
take a few minutes and read something written by a Ham in 1929, its very
short and should be fairly easy for you to read in between the
aspersions you so freely cast upon others, or maybe you think this
doesnt apply to you because you belong to a different groups of Hams,
one whom I do not care to associate myself with... So for those of you
who can read here it is..........................


                        THE AMATEUR'S CODE

ONE:

THE AMATEUR IS CONSIDERATE.....He never knowingly uses the air in a
such a way as to lessen the pleasure of others.

TWO:

THE AMATEUR IS LOYAL....He offers his loyalty, encouragement and support
to his fellow radio amateurs, his local club and the American Radio
Relay League, throught which Amateur Radio is represented.

THREE:

THE AMATEUR IS PROGRESSIVE....He keeps his station abreast of science.
It is well-built and efficient.  His operating practice is above re-
proach.

FOUR:

THE AMATEUR IS FRIENDLY....Slow and patient sending when requested,
friendly advice and counsel to the beginner, kindly assistance,
cooperation and consideration for the interests of others, these are
the marks of the Amateur Spirit.

FIVE:

THE AMATEUR IS BALANCED....Radio is his hobby.  He never allows it to
interfere with any of the duties he owes to his home, his job, his
school, or his community.

SIX:

THE AMATEUR IS PATRIOTIC....His knowledge and his station are always
ready for the service of his country and his community.

                                        PAUL M. SEGAL 1929

I guess all you real Hams who are condemming the No-Code Techincians
and those who make mistakes dont believe in the Amateurs Code or must
have one of your own.  Maybe it would be a good time to sit down and
reevalute your own lifestyle as a Amateur Radio Operator.  From what I
have read in this conference you have managed to violate every one of
the prescribed standards of being a REAL HAM.
If I were you I would hang my head in shame, and apologize to all the
Real Hams out there who suscribe to the Amateur's Code, with your
attitude you dont belong in this Hobby, and it is a Hobby not a life
style or a job.  One other thing a Real Ham is proud of his callsign
and signs with it every chance he gets, not like the unsigned comments
that take place here.  I have a real address not a P.O. Box to hide
behind.

There are a lot of real hams out here.  As a matter of fact, anyone with
a license is a real ham.  According to the FCC.  And my friend, at this
point, they are the only ones who count.




->
->                       THE AMATEUR'S CODE

Was written by the ARRL, not for anyone else, and certainly not the
end of the story.  Since only around 30% of those licensed real hams
belong to that group.  You can organize a group and make up all kinds of
crap.


-> ONE:

-> support to his fellow radio amateurs, his local club and the American
-> Radio Relay League, throught which Amateur Radio is represented.

This should tell you the whole story.   Talk about having a pointed
interest.  What makes you think, old timer, that you even have to belong
to the ARRL or a Club to be a real ham.  Again, my friend, read the real
rules in part 97.  Then get back to me.

-> Robert Dale Piedfort
-> ARS KB7UB  (20 yrs +)

Then you are a real ham, not because you list a bunch of reasons below,
but because you have a license that says you are.  AND btw, Amateur
Radio is NOT A HOBBY.  Check again and you will note, that NOWHERE does
it say the Hobby of Amateur Radio, but the SERVICE of Amateur Radio.

Better check before you jump too quickly.

If the above code is a mark of a REAL HAM then you have eliminated
not only all the no-codes but many of the know-codes, too - maybe
maybe even yourself!

Notice that the `progressive' amateur above (in 1929) built *everything*
in his station.

How many new hams today will take the time to learn *any* theory,
and apply that theory along with a soldering iron to make anything
at all (antennas surely don't count, nor does soldering a PL-259
on the end of some coax). Even new hams into the 60's and 70's were
building their station from scratch while waiting for their
license to arrive, and actively spent weeks if not months *listening*
to gain the proper operating skills rather than repeadedly saying to
