Those of you that have + talked with me via E-mail know that. But this time I've actually + started on my rewrite of the callsign server at Buffalo. And I've + finally got a design that I'm happy with. The new searching + capabilities are going to be *much* improved over the current system. + I'll be getting rid of the bugs in the current telnet system and making + it available to more people. Also coming is a WWW front-end for web + surfers. Time to step into the 90s. + + Part of the rewrite is an entire reorganization of the database look-up + system. The old system was very specific to the FCC database format + because that's all that was available when it was written (yes, the + server is very, very old). But now there are a number of databases + floating around the net for different countries and I am rewriting the + system to be more flexible and to accommodate a variety of formats and + search types. + + In doing so, I'll have the ability to add data for many more countries. + That is, of course, if I have the data. In order to do this I need + help. I need to get in touch with all people that have access to + databases from countries other than the US. The more up-to-date these + databases are, the better. If you have access to a database and would be + willing to donate a copy to the callsign server for everyone to use, + please contact me. A lot of people would genuinely appreciate it. + + The callsign server has become remarkably popular on the net and this + has happened because the community has contributed so much to it over + the many years it's been running. I have heard stories of reunions with + old classmates, stories of silent-keys that have been remembered, and + stories from blind hams doing simple look-ups of other hams, all + possible because of the server. Congratulations to the community for + making this system so useful. + + Look for the new server in two or three months. Until then you can + access the current one. + Please direct all other feedback, submissions and administrivia regarding these services to my E-mail address above. *************** *** 400,405 **** --- 443,501 ---- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + Rob Cartier KD1JG, AAR1FU + + robcartier@aol.com + rob.cartier@starfleet.itc.snetlink.com + + AX.25: KD1JG@W1EDH.CT.USA.NOAM + MARS AX.25: AAR1FU@AT1TCT.CT.RGN1.CONUS.NOAM + + 112 Fieldbrook Road + Middletown, CT 06457-1756 + +1 203 771-7027 Work + +1 203 632-9055 Home + + Connecticut Director for Emergency Operations, Army MARS + + I also run a full-service MSYS BBS and have close ties with the other + services in my state. + + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + Arthur Chandler KO6OA + + arthurc@crl.com + + BayMOO, an all-text virtual-reality on the Internet (a form of + Multiple-User Dungeon, or "MUD") has just completed an amateur packet + radio simulation "room."

Folks who call or write to + ARRL TIS staff are often referred to one of these books or to a past + magazine article. + + However, most hams find that the fastest way to get the answer is to do + their own research. Publication catalogs often talk about what kinds of + information are available in different books. A few good books will + answer the vast majority of questions as well as enhance a ham's + knowledge and enjoyment of this fascinating hobby. + + Magazines are also a superb technical reference. An annual index of + articles appears in the December issue of QST and other magazines. + These indexes will usually have an article or two (or six) about a + particular topic. If an older QST or QEX article is not available + locally, the ARRL Technical Department Secretary can provide a copy for + a small fee. Back issues are also available from the QST Circulation + Department. + + The ARRL Technical Information Service is a valuable source of + information and research for questions that cannot be answered by other + means. ARRL TIS has information packages and bibliographies that are + available on request to answer most technical questions. + + For those who want to know if something has been previously published on + a particular subject, TIS can also assist with research to locate this + information. TIS also helps locate companies that sell hard to find + parts or supplies used in our hobby. + + Many amateur radio informational documents are also available from the + ARRL Email Information Server (or Info-Server for short). To find out + how to use the Info-Server, send E-mail to info@arrl.org with any + subject (it is ignored) and the following text in the body of the + message: + + HELP + QUIT + + See Scott Ehrlich's entry for information about the ARRL Anonymous FTP + Archive and World-Wide Web Home Page. + + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + Clark Savage Turner, Graduate Student Researcher turner@safety.ics.uci.edu Safety Critical Software Group home: *************** *** 2048,2053 **** --- 2610,2658 ---- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + ----------------- + David P. van De Kerk Manager, Systems Integration + American Turnkey Santa Ana, CA USA + +1 714 557-9050 x-207 voice +1 714 557-9056 FAX davev@atkc.com + KE6GXD + =============================================== + This message does not constitute any official or unofficial statement or + policy of American Turnkey or any other organization, corporation or + institution. + + I just upgraded to Advanced, and am now working on Extra.
