Amateur Radio Elmers Resource Directory (as of 11/01/94) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ - A - ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ John Ackerman AG9V jra@lawdept.daytonOH.ncr.com -or- jra@ag9v.ampr.org My primary interests are in packet radio network building (particularly higher speed stuff) and TCP/IP. I've got quite a lot of info on using the Kantronics D4-10 19.2kB radios, as that's the hardware we've been struggling with here. TAPR (Tuscon Amateur Packet Radio) has formed a special interest group to discuss issues of regional packet networking (Net-SIG). As a result, the TAPR net-sig mailing list was born, and is now ready for operation. This list is intended to replace any of the existing packet-related mailing lists. Its purpose is provide a medium for communications among those interested in packet radio networking, both dealing with technical issues and political/regulatory ones. We'll discuss things like how the potential 219MHz band will fit into the networking picture, how to link areas using different networking schemes, how to set network parameters, etc. The list's charter will be posted there regularly. The address of the list is net-sig@tapr.org and you can subscribe by sending mail to listserv@tapr.org with the text "join netsig". Apart from subscribing to the list, you can contact me for further details about the Net-SIG (including upcoming conferences). (See also Bob Nielsen for more information about TAPR) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ David Andrews ZL2SX andrews@kai.ee.cit.ac.nz I have been involved with the Amateur Radio International Travel Host scheme.

If you would like a copy of the survey, which includes a list of telephone models checked, send an SASE with two units of first class postage to the Technical Information Service at ARRL HQ. Alternatively, you may obtain an electronic copy from the info server below. If anyone is having a problem with CATVI, send a 9X12" SASE with 4 units of postage to the ARRL Technical Department Secretary. Ask for the "EMI/RFI Package" and "EMI/RFI - CATV." The CATV package includes a reprint of the article I wrote for Communications Technology -- the journal of the Society of Cable Television Engineers. Your local cable company will recognize this publication and will give credence to the words therein. If you have any questions after you have read the material, contact me here at HQ. I can usually get back to you within a few days to offer some additional help. Many amateur radio informational documents (including EMI/RFI files) are also available from the ARRL info server.

Note: A simple informal net style protocol will generally be used, unless no control station assumes control for the evening, in which case it is an open roundtable format discussion group. Note: The midnight local time gathering is designed to maximize the number of checkins spread out over the world, so less confusion and more checkins are heard. The hope is that someone will be aboard almost anywhere and be heard at least locally, anywhere in the world. Definition: A CWIST is a person with an active interest in the PRACTICE and USE of continuous wave radiotelegraphy as directly is applicable to amateur radio. Such PRACTICE and USE may take the form of learning about radiotelegraphy and its history in amateur/commercial areas, its application to radio telecommunication, the practicing of the art and craft of radiotelegraphy, and the refining and developing of the technology of radiotelegraphy. Author of NA4G's National Electrical Code for Hams ABSTRACT This work was presented as a talk to the Homebrew Special Interest Group (HB-SIG) of the Raleigh Amateur Radio Society (RARS), on 15 January, 1991 and was revised for another presentation on 26 January, 1994. This document contains excerpts of the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70-1990) that, in the author's opinion, apply to the installation of amateur radio equipment as would commonly be found in most amateur radio stations. Direct excerpts from the Code are contained within inset quotations. Paraphrased excerpts from the Code are itemized. The author's interpretation and discussion of the Code is set full-width. The author's interpretation and discussion of various sections of the Code is not meant to be all-encompassing, nor the official interpretation of the National Fire Protection Association, nor of any offical governing body having legal authority of jurisdiction over electrical installations, but is meant to be used as a teaching tool for amateur radio operators.

As with any volunteer effort, new volunteers are often needed. We need new editors to post the above FAQ's. Preferably this should be someone who has enthusiasm for hobbyist radio, experience with UseNet, and the ability to work with the other editors. No single person can know all the various aspects of these diverse hobbies so the editorial review groups are intended to make a greater combination of experience. The FAQ is currently posted with the AUTO-FAQ software, which is written in PERL. So it would be a plus for volunteers to post the FAQ to have PERL installed on their system and be able to use "cron" or "at" so that postings can go unattended. Anyone who wants to make their contribution to the Net as a volunteer should contact one of the above administrivia addresses.

Knapp KA9QOA Computer Engineering Senior sknapp@iastate.edu Vice President Cyclone Amateur Radio Club Iowa State University; Ames, IA Durham Center Operations Staff A few members of our ham radio club were interested in helping out. Since our turnover is usually 4 years or so (graduation is a horrible thing), I thought it may be difficult for us to keep the list up to date. I thought that by creating a local mailing list called "elmers@iastate.edu" we could add or remove people as need be. There would always be at least one person receiving mail on that list, usually more! Even after I graduate, this list will be maintained allowing ISU hams to easily help others. Currently we have people with packet experience, some HF experience, much repeater experience, in addition to a considerable background in theory, as many here are electrical engineering or computer engineering students. If a question can not be answered by the readers of the list, there are many other local hams that could be prodded for the info. Our local ham radio club has been especially interested in helping local disabled hams (or hams to be) get on the air. But anyone local who needed help would find a group at their door ready to work. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +--- Mike Knell -- Squashed Lagomorphia on the Information Superhighway(tm) --+ | Vending machines should NEVER NEVER| SMTP thing: m.knell@unicorn.nott.ac.uk | | EVER eat money. - RFC1288 (Finger) | AX25 thing: G7GPA@GB7COV.#29.GBR.EU | +----------- These are my opinions, not anybody else's, so bog off. ----------+ There is now a mailing list set up for the UK TCP/IP Networking Group (UKIP).

I'm the author of OrbitDRV (the tracking TSR that comes with InstantTrack) and a number of other InstantTrack auxilliary programs. AMSAT-NA (the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation in North America) operates the Internet host AMSAT.ORG to provide for efficient communications between people interested in the amateur satellite program. At this time two services are provided: a message remailing service and a mailing list service. In the future, an archive of files will be accessible by anonymous ftp or possibly by email. In the meantime, check the FTP site: ftp://ftp.ucsd.edu/hamradio/ for AMSAT-related files. Consult your local guru for help on using by anonymous ftp for AMSAT-related files. Consult your local guru for help on using anonymous ftp. The message remailing service permits users to send each other mail on the Internet without keeping track of each other's Internet address. The remailing service allows each user to receive mail sent to the address callsign@amsat.org, where callsign is that user's amateur radio callsign, or other unique identifier. Mail sent to that address will be routed first to the AMSAT.ORG host at UCSD in San Diego, then remailed from AMSAT.ORG to the network address specified by the user. In most cases, this process delays the message by only a very few minutes. The mailing list service groups subscribers into mailing lists to receive certain types of messages. There are public mailing lists available to anyone, and private mailing lists available only to certain people (for example, AMSAT Board of Directors members or PACSAT command stations). Currently the following public mailing lists exist: ANS AMSAT News Service This mailing list carries official news releases from the AMSAT News Service. These messages are posted in a form suitable for direct posting to a packet radio BBS system. Each message contains a Bulletin Identifier (BID), which permits the message to be introduced into the packet network at many places without resulting in duplicate bulletins at any BBS. The primary purpose of this mailing list is to distribute ANS bulletins for redistribution (via the packet net or on AMSAT voice nets), but individuals may also subscribe for their own use. If your local packet BBS doesn't seem to get the ANS bulletins reliably, you are encouraged to post the ANS bulletins yourself. Only authorized AMSAT News Service personnel should send messages to the ANS mailing list. AMSAT-BB AMSAT bulletin board This mailing list carries general AMSAT information. This information may NOT be suitable in content for transmission via amateur radio, so automatic reposting of AMSAT-BB messages to packet radio BBS's is discouraged. The purpose of this mailing list is to provide a forum for general discussion of any satellite-related topic. Anyone may send messages to the AMSAT-BB mailing list. Simply address your message to amsat-bb@amsat.org, and it will be automatically forwarded to all subscribers to the AMSAT-BB mailing list. Editors of publications should ask permission of the sender before publishing anything seen in AMSAT-BB elsewhere, unless the posting was obviously a public press release. However, posters should realize that anything posted to AMSAT-BB is essentially public. KEPS Keplerian Elements mailing list This mailing list carries official postings of Keplerian element sets for satellites of interest to radio amateurs. Like the ANS bulletins, these messages are posted in a form suitable for direct posting to a packet radio BBS. Only authorized AMSAT News Service personnel should send messages to the KEPS mailing list. NASAINFO NASA related information mailing list This mailing list contains information about current and planned NASA space missions. Be forewarned: at times this mailing list delivers many large messages. SAREX Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment mailing list This mailing list contains information and press releases pertaining to SAREX missions. To obtain any of these services, just send a message to the address listserv@amsat.org This address may be reached from CompuServe MAIL as: >INTERNET:listserv@amsat.org For the moment, the maintenance of the AMSAT.ORG mailing lists and remailing aliases is done manually. Later, this service will probably be automated and you will have to follow a strict message format. For now, you may send requests in free format. They will usually be processed within a few days. In general, you will not receive an explicit reply to your request. Be sure you specify: 1. Which mailing list(s) you want to receive 2. Your callsign, if any 3. The Internet address to be used, if different from the one in your From: header. You should not send messages about your subscriptions to any of the mailing lists. Send them to listserv@amsat.org instead. This includes questions, requests for changes, requests for information about mailing services, and complaints. The list of amateurs who may be reached via the message remailing service may be obtained by requesting the "address book". Note that the address book as distributed contains only the callsigns of the available addressees, not their actual Internet addresses. The address book is updated occasionally, and does not necessarily contain the very latest information. You may request to be added to the list, to be deleted from the list, or to have your Internet address changed on the list. Please include your callsign if you have one. If you don't have a callsign, that's OK, but please say so. If you have more than one Internet address you want to have available on the AMSAT.ORG remailer, you may so specify. For instance, if you have a regular Internet address and a CompuServe account, you may appear in the address book as both w1xyz and w1xyz-cis. Mail sent to w1xyz would go to your Internet address, and mail sent to w1xyz-cis would go to CompuServe. MCImail accounts have the form w1xyz-mci, and so on. You may also subscribe or unsubscribe to any of the public mailing lists described above. Send a message to listserv@amsat.org, specifying clearly which mailing list(s) you want to add or drop, and giving your callsign if you have one. When you subscribe to a mailing list, you will automatically be added to the remailing service as well, because the mailing lists are maintained by callsign. If you have more than one address listed in the remailing service, please indicate which one(s) you want the mailing list messages sent to. Additional mailing lists, public or private, can be set up as needed. Send mail to listserv@amsat.org for details. Questions about any service offered by AMSAT.ORG may be directed to listserv@amsat.org as well. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Areas of Interest: ARES/RACES, Emergency Comm, and ARRL Field Organization. 73's de Steve Wilson, KA6S SCV Section Manager 813 Berryessa St. Milpitas, Ca 95035 Hm (408)946-7410 Wk (408)473-2580 stevew@netcom.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Witte HP Colorado Springs Division bobw@col.hp.com P.O.
