To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
For What It's Worth, in the past year or so Wayne Green has had a bit to say
about ELF exposure. He asserts that there's a lot of evidence out there, and
that he no longer uses an electric blanket.
Well, I do, but that's unimportant. I haven't seen this evidence, let alone
tried to evaluate its reasonability, but I've no doubt that Wayne is a wee bit
more widely read than I.
If you dig up the past year or so of 73, look through his Never Say Die column
for a bit...it's always thought-provoking, sometimes anger-provoking, and,
IMHO, a lot of fun.

To: "info-hams" <info-hams@ucsd.edu>
I thought I saw a posting a couple of weeks ago from someone who had
written a 65 page manual for the Alinco 590. I didn't save it at that time but
now a friend has just purchased a 590 and would like to have a copy of the
manual. He would also like to share what he has found out so far.
Can someone forward me the info??
Thanks, 73

Here is the current situation regarding the Novice and Technician
classes as I understand them. Please correct me where needed:
Novice Class: Same as before; 30 question multiple choice written theory
exam, receiving 5 words per minute of International Morse Code
Technician Class(es)
Version 1: Same as before; 25 question multiple choice written
theory exam, taken upon successful completion of the Novice
Class requirements.
Version 2: For complete newcomers who do not wish to take the 5 wpm
code requirement for the Novice Class, they may take the Novice Class
theory exam combined with the Technician Class theory exam at
one time, and get full privileges from 6 meters and above only.
Version 3: For those who go the route of Version 2, but
successfully complete the 5 wpm code requirement at a later time,
are then called Technician Plus Class, and get normal HF privileges
as those who took the 5 wpm code as a Novice.
General Class and above remain as normal.

Hello Everyone,
I need to find out what the two 8 switch options on a CITOH 8510 printer
means. These are labeled SW1 and SW2. If anyone has this information
I would appreciate knowing what they mean... Thanks for the help.

In addition to page 24 of the owner's manual the following are also provided:
SUB key SUB receiver capable of scanning.
ENT key Set up CH. 90-99 as amateur band VFO`s
5 + (M>VFO) Set -up CH. 80-89 t accept band memory data
RX -A Turn on/off SUB reciver marker for SM-230
IC + COMP Stop transmitt if IC exceeds 1.7A ( limit to10 watts)
8.83 + RIT Both filter are selectable on transmit (memory will save info)
If anyone knows of other hidden features of the TS-950 please share.

This should be an FAQ, I bet! I've lost Diana's address and the disk
she so kindly loaded the Ham Test stacks from a year ago. Luckily I've
gained FTP access. Can some kind soul point me to them? I've looked on
Sumex-Aim.Stanford.Edu and WSMR-SIMTEL20.Army.Mil to no avail.
Let's email to me; I'll put out ONE message to the net as a reminder for
those who, like me, have forgotten!

SOLAR TERRESTRIAL BULLETIN
11 March, 1991
Updated Solar Activity Information
Potential Geomagnetic Storm Warning Cancellation
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
UPDATED SOLAR ACTIVITY INFORMATION
The Potential Geomagnetic Storm Warning for middle latitude regions has
ended as of 11 March. Geomagnetic activity has been at quiet to unsettled
levels now since approximately 07:00 UT on 10 March. Conditions are expected
to remain generally quiet to unsettled over middle latitudes. High latitudes
could experience brief periods of minor storming, although it appears that even
high latitudes will remain generally unsettled to active with little (if any)
magnetic storming. The activity which occurred over the past 48 hours has been
attributed to the major flaring which occurred on 07 March. A well placed
coronal hole is also believed responsible for contributing somewhat to the
activity.
Solar flare activity over the past 24 hours has been relatively dormant.
No M-class flares have been noted today. The most powerful flare was a class
C7.4/SF from Region 6538.
Spot activity is quite a different story. Region 6538 has continued to be
impressively active with regards to spot activity. This region has bloomed
with spot activity. The inner area of this region is fairly dense with spots.
Region 6538, now located at S23E20, has continued to increase in size and
complexity. A magnetic delta configuration has now appeared together with the
beta-gamma configuration. Spot count has increased to 109 in this region
today. It covers a large 27 degree angular extent.
Region 6537 (S08E01) has also increased in size and magnetic complexity
over the past 24 hours. This region now encompasses 28 spots and has been
reclassified as a magnetic beta-gamma configuration. This region was
responsible for spawning an X-class flare earlier this week.
Region 6538 is now well place for providing high terrestrial impacts
should a significant major flare erupt. Within the next 48 to 72 hours, this
region will also be capable of producing potentially strong proton and PCA
activity if a major proton flare occurs. It is somewhat unusual that this
region is as inactive as it has been over the past 24 hours. This may be a
sign of stabilization, but considering the amount of spot activity occurring
in the region and the continuing magnetic complexity, significant major flaring
is still very possible from this region. Isolated major M and/or X-class
flares continue to be a threat.
HF propagation conditions have returned to normal over most low and middle
latitudes. Significant high-latitude improvements have also occurred over the
past 24 hours. Increased signal stability and decreased absorption are
expected over the next several days. A strong possibility exists for
SID-induced SWF's. However, any SWF's should be relatively short but could be
of moderate to high intensity (particularly if a major flare occurs).
VHF propagation conditions could be quite good on the lower bands. MUF's
have increased recently and may now support possibly widespread openings on 6
meters, particularly over the shorter distances (under approx. 3000 km [1900
miles]). Frequencies near 50 MHz are more likely to support potential DX. The
most favorable times for potential DX exist when the sun is at its highest
elevation in the sky at the midpoint of the signal path. For north-south
paths, this optimal time occurs near local noon.
Auroral activity has diminished significantly over the past 24 hours and
is now not visible over the middle latitudes. No further activity is expected
over the next 24 hours. Whether activity increases after 48 to 72 hours is
heavily dependent on whether any major flaring occurs.
