Subject: Anderson Power-pole connectorw (Was: DANGER in sexless Standard 12V DC Connectors
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Here in Sacramento, I have found Anderson Power Pole connectors at Metro
Electronics (1512 16 st, Sacramento, Ca. 96814 (916) 442-1512) and they
had them in stock in 6 (!) colors, along with larger versions. (look at
the battery connector on a forklift the next time you are in
manufacturing and it probably will be made by Anderson).
Most of the clubs in the Sacramento area seem to be standardizing on the
Andersons, probably because the ARES/RACES group and the Calif. Office
of Emergency Services uses them.
Our club deceided to go with the Andersons and made a group purchase.
Since most of us already had our own "standard" we just made a few
adapters from our "standard" to the Andersons. They go in the bag along
with the 2 prong to 3 prong adapter, BNC to So239, BNC to N,Stereo to
mini stereo, stereo to RCA, ... ;-)
Face it, it's a nonstandard world out there!
If you need any Andersons, call Metro and they can send you some. If you
do, say hi to Hugh Corkery (KA6CPN) for me.

Sure sounds like an expen$ive thing to do just to avoid learning the code...

The reason you see groups with overlapping purposes is that the rec.ham-radio
hierarchy is undergoing a reorganization. About 3 weeks ago, the Usenet
community voted to do the following:
move rec.ham-radio to rec.radio.amateur.misc
move rec.ham-radio.packet to rec.radio.amateur.packet
move rec.ham-radio.swap to rec.radio.swap
create rec.radio.amateur.policy
create rec.radio.cb
During this transition period, both the old groups and the new groups will
still be there, with the traffic shifting to the new groups as more and more
systems create them. In a couple of weeks, the old groups will be removed.
I suggest that you use the new groups to reach the biggest audience. Some
systems will repost your message to the new group, but don't depend on
that - do it yourself. This is only a temporary measure.

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
I forget the model number, but those of you who like to see
144 MHz and 200 MHz on the same radio, Standard just brought out to
the USA. The adds for it can be found in QST magazine.
If you live in the West Los Angeles area, Jun's electronics
have them in stock. They run about $600. Independant squelch and
volume controls. There is a PTT mike to go with it. Only one type
of battery, 7.2 volts @ 700 mA. While there is no longer range attenna
for it yet, I guess in time someone will have them out.
Just spreading the word,

does anyone know of any restrictions on the new no-code license, like a
maximum power output, and the frequencies that you would be only allowed to
use.

It's really very simple, the new TECHNICIAN license has exactely the
same priveldges as the old (most recent) Tech license except that there
are NO priveledges below 30mhz.
i.e. For frequencies above 30mhz, a new codless Tech would be able to do
anything an Extra could do (except space operations?? - my memory is
vague here since I never expect to be in a position to do any!)
To get priveledges below 30mhz equal to those that the most recent
Tech's now enjoy (i.e. Novice priveledges) the new Tech must pass ONLY
the 5wpm code before a VE team.

Subject: Packet Radio Messages to Desert Storm Troops - An offer.
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
For the past several months I have, as an ARMY MARS member, been sending on a
daily basis large quantities of messages going to our U.S. military personnel
in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). These messages have been from friends,
neighbors, and business associates - over 1,300 messages including those
refiled from my amateur radio packet BBS. Although peace seems at hand, we
shouldn't forget the folks now overseas since the prospects are that many of
them will be there through the Summer. So, I encourage you to send your
messages going to service personnel in KSA on behalf of friends, neighbors,
business associates - anyone. I will be happy to accept those messages here
and file them into the MARS message system. While no promises can be made
about speed of delivery, we hear that messages get there in about 4 days. A
big plus is that the message service is FREE! There is a specific format for
the messages which I will send later if anyone is interested - lenght is 30
words max.
