- Subject: AM Broadcast Tower Question
-
- A commercial station is moving an AM radio tower 1.5 miles from my bother's
- house. The station is broadcasting with 50,000 watts. A public hearing is
- being held next week on the application.
-
- My brother is wondering if he should believe the station. IE. He will have
- absolutely no trouble with the tower. Or if he should believe the people
- living close to the present location. IE. They hear the station at all bands
- of the radio, on the toaster, if they have gold filings, lightbulbs burn out
- more quickly etc.
-
- I do not read your newsgroup. If you have information that my brother could
- bring to the hearing, pro or con, please email me at the below address. So
- that this does not go on forever the hearing is Nov. 14, 1994. Thank you.

- Transponder 17, 5.8 Mhz audio subcarrier. Many amateur repeaters

- COMDEX Computer Show OSCAR Get-together (Las Vegas)
-
- Tom, N7MPM, who you may know from AO-21 and FO-20 and Frank,
- N7ZEV, are holding a get-together for all the OSCAR satellite
- enthusiasts coming to the show in Las Vegas. It'll be November
- 16, Wednesday, at 4 P.M., Las Vegas local time (PST). This is an
- informal affair with sodas and hors d'oeuvres being served. The
- meeting place is at Frank's QTH, 4233 Warm Springs Road in the
- Blue Diamond area of Las Vegas. Since Frank is not only a
- satellite enthusiast, but big into ATV, here's another good
- reason to attend. You'll need to call Tom or Frank in advance so
- they can be amply prepared for the crowd. Frank's phone number
- is 702-361-6080. Or call Tom at 702-644-1446 as soon as you know
- you can attend. Tom may be easier to reach during the
- day than Frank so try him first.
-
- Both Tom and Frank will be monitoring 146.48 MHz simplex (they
- have good antennas!) and can give you talk-in directions on the
- 16th from anywhere in Las Vegas. If you think you may be busy in
- Las Vegas that day but suddenly find you have some spare time,
- Tom and Frank would like to have you join them.
-
- Perspective attendees may also confirm through

- SEDSAT Milestone
-
- Dennis Wingo KD4ETA SEDSAT 1 Project Mangler announces a
- milestone in the SEDSAT 1 satellite development program. He says
- that the Mode A transponder built by Cynetics for the SEDSAT 1
- satellite has been delivered to University of Alabama at
- Huntsville. He plans to put the transponder on the air for
- testing in the during the month of November to ascertain its real
- world operating parameters and conditions as well as to finish
- "infant mortality" testing of the components. This presents a
- possible opportunity for some interesting contacts.
-
- The frequencies of operation for the SEDSAT Mode A transponder
- are:
-
- Uplink 145.915-145.975 Mhz
- Downlink 29.350-29.410 Mhz
-
- This means that the uplink for the SEDSAT 1 mode A transponder
- falls totally within the downlink passband for OSCAR 13 which is:
-
- In preliminary testing, Dennis reports that they have already
- heard OSCAR 13 mode B downlink signals on the ten meter output of
- the transponder. This give satellite enthusiasts the chance to
- work crossband through AO-13 and the SEDSAT test unit, provided
- that propagation exists between their QTH and Hunstsville. This
- time of year, the winter Sporadic E (short skip) season just may
- provide such propagation.
-
- Dennis will release information on the exact dates for the tests
- via ANS and AMSAT.BB.
-
- ANS thanks Dennis Wingo KD4ETA SEDSAT 1 Project Manager for this
- information.

- WO-18 Status
-
- The modulation problems aboard WO-18 have improved, according to
- a recent report from, Chris Williams, WA3PSD. A number of things
- have been done and will be done to address this issue, he said.
-
- The phasing control for the Raised Cosine Transmitter is now set
- to 0E. Spectrum analysis showed this to have only a subtle
- effect on the signal, but copy of data definitely improved with
- the change. Various stations around the world have confirmed
- this improvement. We are now collecting over 100K per pass,
- Chris added. He characterized this as "essentially nominal". He
- further said that use of the IF shift on their Kenwood '11 series
- transceiver seems to improve matters.
-
- WA3PSD speculated that the current prime suspect is the
- intermittent presence of a strong audio sub-tone in the downlink
- signal. He said that it is also intermittently present on LUSAT,
- but at a lower amplitude; but not seen prominently on AO-16's
- signal. It has been suggested this tone is a result of degraded
- carrier suppression. In any event, a spurious tone would explain
- why an IF shift offset improves performance. A notch should be
- even better, he concluded.
-
- Williams wonders, however, why, if a spurious tone is the
- problem, changing the phase setting of the transmitter improves
- matters. Phil Karn KA9Q has suggested digitizing the audio with
- a SoundBlaster card for distribution to others for analysis.
- Chris says that this is near the top of his current list of
- things to do.
-
- So, the bottom line is that WO-18 can now be copied in only a
- slightly degraded fashion. Telemetry indicates all is well
- aboard the spacecraft. Imaging and spectroscopy work will
- continue normally.
-
- ANS wishes to thank Chris Williams, WA3PSD for this bulletin
- information. He can be reached at cwilliams@cc.weber.edu

- Thoughts while programming the keyer...
-
- Why is the ARRL Sweepstakes exchange so very long? And what was the
- original reason for the QSO counter? Surely it predates fancy keyers,

- Subject: Cooling HeatSink on TS50
-
- I use a TS-50 almost exclusively on pactor ... this puts a heavy duty
- cycle on the radio, with the heat sink usually getting quite warm.
-
- The internal fan seems to have problems keeping up with this, so I'm
- thinking about using an external fan to help keep up the load.
-
- Would it be better for the fan to blow air across the heat sink to cool
- it, or rather for the fan to draw air across the heat sink, or does it
- not make any difference?

- The best London store, in my opinion, is Martin Lynch, located at
- 140 Northfield Avenue, Ealing, London W13 9SB, telephone 0181-566-1120.
-
- Magazines are sold in the major newsagent stores such as W H Smith, and

- magazine is the RSBG RadCom, but that is not on newsstands. He could
- call RSGB telephone 01707-659015 and ask for them to mail a sample.
-
- The magazines will give club meeting places and dates for the talk stuff.

- By the way, try posting you request to the uk.radio.amateur newsgroup for

-
- He's just bought a twin band (2m and 70cm) hand-held ICOM unit (The model

- beast has approx 10 functions per twiddly-knob .... so usability has
- become a bit of an issue.
-
- The question : Where can he get a manual for it ?? is there an address in
- the UK for ICOM (perhaps they'd photocopy and send one to
- me) ? ... Does someone want to scan one and send me the
- TIFF file !!!
-
- All / Any help is much appreciated !!!!

- Discourteous, Yes, Illegal? Nah...

- : Aren't there laws against making automated broadcasts?

- Not if its for the Ham Community and posted in an open forum for most
- Hams to see.

-
- You are right, but you can be ASSIGNED a frequency by the FCC that
- you may have primary user status (ie. your local AM station) nobody may
- interfere with your broadcasts. As to there being law or rule about
- stepping on someone's QSO, it may be bad manners but not against the
- rules. Actually, I think I remember on my Tech exam there was a question
- about who should move off a certain frequency the answer went a little
- bit like this "The party for which is the least inconvenienced must move
- off the frequency"
- Following this logic, the people who are being stepped on by an automatic
- transmission should by rights move, because more people are looking for
- that signal at that certain time but the QSO'ers can change freq and not
- be bothered by the automatic transmission.
-
- I hope this helps...
