Gone?  Gone?  We are offended.  Actually, the 807 saw a lot of service
as a modulator, and later on as a result got adopted by the audio folks;
a lot of audio amplifiers out there used them, and a few still do.

Personally, I think the 833 is the way to go, but then I'm biased.

   I'm going to visit Saint John NB and Halifax next Summer.  Would like to get any
ham radio related information regarding these two cities. For example, club meeting
information, 2 meter repeater frequencies, scheduled nets, hamventions, flea markets,
etc.
   As I understand it, I can transmit from these cities by giving my call sign and
then saying "stroke VE1".  There is no paper work involved beforehand?  Please
correct me if I'm wrong on this.

I am posting this for a friend. He has the above receiver,
which needs a new coil. The coil in question is the one that
goes between the antenna and the first rf tube in the
10.5 to 30 MHz freq range. Does anyone have such a thing or
know where to get it.

Thanks for any help.

Jesse--  I know what happened... It happened to me..
  Inside the 02AT is a small relay which switches the power from the
battery to the 12 volt input when the 12 vdc is applied.

I dropped mine, and the relay stopped working.  I had to order another
one from Icom...  I don't have the number, but Icom will know which one.

It is a little blue relay mounted right under the top of the HT.  It is a
SPDT relay and has five contacts- 3 for the relay and 2 for the coil.

I bet that is ur problem -  Good Luck  73,  Dit dit

Hi,
 I'm been looking for Mac logging programs and to date have only found
MacContest in my internet wanderings. Unfortunately, the program crashes on
a IIfx and A Quadra 700 so I'm back to square one. Does anyone know of any
logging  programs (contest and/or non-contest - freeware, shareware, or
commercial products) that are more robust than MacContest.

Thanks for the help.

I believe you are referring to the Metrum II.  I've never seen one, just the
service manual.

I use several Motorolas for amateur work; I have a Fast-Lok VHF-High MCX100 in
the car, another Fast-Lok VHF-High MCX100 on packet, a VHF-High Maxar-80 on packet,
set up a UHF Micor mobile for packet, set up a VHF-High Micor for packet, etc.

The mobiles tend to make nice amateur radios.  No, I don't buy them brand
new.  But there are good deals to be had if you know how to work on radios
and aren't too cheap to buy the service manual from Motorola.

Subject: QRN from neighbors patio lights

At night, I have a S9 continous AC buss between 13.900 through
14.100 MHz. I got out my DC pocket SWL receiver and traced it
down to my next door neighbors patio lights. They are the
28VDC type, with some type of powersupply/timer. It must have
a 14.000 MHz osc switching circuit in it.

I know my neighbor does not like it when I get RF into
his TV, VCR, or telephone, however I don't like it
when his patio lights get into my HF receiver.

Any suggestions on how to handle this situation without
causing WW-III ?

What isn't legal?  As long as no one is encoding text to obscure meaning,
and properly identify with a complete callsign every ten minutes (for US
amateurs), the callsign may be abbreviated.

What makes you think this isn't legal?

Subject: VK2WI Weekly News, 23rd October, 1994 [abbrev]

[ Owing to a mishap or two, this was all that was transcribed from the
  VK2 WIA Broadcast: ]

VK2 DIV. PRESEIDENT'S MESSAGE

        This is Michael Corbin, VK2PFQ.

        Again not a lot to report this week, so I'll take this opportunity to
        put an idea to you.  What about a members forum.  What's a members
        forum you ask, well it's simply the process whereby members are able
        to address council at a council meeting.  It's where you can put
        those ideas, even criticism, before council.  Most City Councils have
        time set aside on open council meeting nights, so that
        ratepayers...... usually irate ones....but not always, can put before
        council their thoughts, grips, opinions, on....Anything.

        The rules are simple......three minutes is allowed to put your case,
        no Councillor can or will answer questions and speakers are required
        to conduct themselves with due decorum.  If you think this sort of
        thing has a place in Institute affairs, then please avail yourself of
        the opportunity at our next Council meeting.  That's Friday 11th
        November at 7.30p.m., all members are invited to attend.

        The other matter is.... those Memorandums & Articles of Association,
        which badly need rewriting.  To this end. I am asking for volunteers.
        Much has been spoken in the past on these M. and As. and I would
        like to get their revision on the way.  As with NTAC, the best way,
        I believe, to achieve this, is to form a Committee.  Instead of
        picking people, I am asking for a group from amongst members, who
        want to help.  A group who genuinely WANT to do the job....NOT a
        group, who have been coerced into doing the job. If you feel that you
        fill the bill,....then, give me a call.

        You'll recall last week that I asked for someone to make their
        station available for Howard W6AXX.  If you were not in tune last
        week, Howard is coming over here for a short holiday and he wants to
        have the use of a station for the first 24 hrs of the WW DX SSB
        contest.  David Thompson VK2BDT has been kind enough to offer the use
        of his station, plus accommodation, for which I am most thankful.
        However, David lives in Goulburn and it might be better if we can
        find someone closer to home as Howard's accommodation is already
        booked and paid for...... nevertheless, thanks David.... keep the
        linear idling over... just in case.

        There will be no Presidential notes next week, as I will be away
        in VK6.

        As promised last week, I will now read an edited version, the first
        of four segments written by David Rankin 9VIRH/VK3QV and provided to
        us by John Aarsse VK4QA (pronounced AR-SAY).  David prepared this
        information so....and I quote  "that as many amateurs in Australia
        as possible learn of what has happened in Singapore." (at the IARU
        Conference)

"Good morning or good evening from Singapore.

        Here is something for the numerologists... at 9 o'clock on the
        9th day of the 9th month the closing meeting of the 9th IARU Region
        3 Conference commenced in a country whose prefix starts with the
        number 9.  Any translations of any possible significance, please let
        me know at my home QTH.

        Some 95 people attended, representing 20 National Organisations,
        including 3 proxies, Plus the Region 3 Directors, the President,
        the Vice President and the Secretary from IARU Headquarters,
        representatives from Regions 1 and 2, the ITU, The Asia Pacific
        Telecommunity and a sole observer from Vietnam.

        Over 107 papers were presented.  Some were reports but, still, 90
        odd papers needed to be discussed in three working groups, one
        covering purely technical matters, one regulatory items and the
        third dealt with suggested methods to assist fledgling amateurs in
        areas such as Nepal, and so on.

        A conference like this, held in an exotic place is, for quite a few
        people, not exactly a holiday.  Mr. Selvadurai, 9V1UV, from the
        Singapore Amateur Radio Transmitting Society was kept busy as
        Conference Chairman, the office staff worked round the clock and some
        privileged delegates and observers were kept busy on the Thursday
        morning while others were able to take the time off to do some
        shopping.

        For some reason or another, I was one of the privileged observers
        assisting the Chairman of working group A, Terry Carrell, ZL3QL. We
        managed to file our report for printing with two minutes to spare!

        Mr. Masayoshi Fujioka, JM1UXU, resigned as Secretary of IARU Region
        3.  In a private ceremony, Masa-san accepted with great joy a copy
        of the script of that broadcast.  In the coming few weeks I will
        touch on a number of important decisions that have been made for
        Region 3, decisions that will affect the Amateur Radio Service in
        this region, including you, the listener.

        Now a list of the newly elected directors of Region 3, in fact, they
        are also YOUR directors as they will represent YOU at the super top
        level.  However, without input from you, through your Clubs or direct
        to your respective State Councils, they wouldn't know what is of
        specific concern to you.

        Here are the new directors:

Mr. Fred Johnson, ZL2AMJ, who was also elected by the new Board as Chairman.
Mr. Sangat Singh, 9M2SS, re-elected
Mr. David Rankin, 9V1RH/VK3QV, re-elected.
and the new directors:
Mr. Joshiji Sekido, JJ1OEY
Mr. Park Young-Soon, HL1IFM

        Unfortunately, David Wardlaw, VK3ADW, was just pipped at the post,
        while Mr. Keigo Komuro, JA1KAB, did not stand for re-election.

        At the same time, a choice was made between 2 contenders to host the
        next Conference.  Beijing was chosen as the venue for the 10th IARU
        Region 3 Conference, which will be tentatively commence on Monday,
        the 9th of September 1997.

        The conference finished with a dinner, hosted by IARU HQ and ARRL.

Not exactly, Jeff.  A "well-built" station can refer to equipment
that is well-constructed, but I tend to think it means something
more; a well-put-together station.  A station with adequate
lighting, adequate room, safely connected equipment.  More than
just a transmitter and receiver.

Anyway, even when you buy equipment, it isn't the manufacturer that
is held responsible for the proper operation of the station; it is
the station licensee.  In other words, the ham is always the
the one to insure the station and equipment therein, is
"well-built".

Show me a *commercially* built amateur transmitter/receiver for the
1929 ham, Rich! Just what do you think was available back then?

And even if there was one (which there wasn't), it would have been
up to the manufacturer, not the ham, to insure it was ``well-built''.
