I can agree with Dick, Paul.  I found this out way back in the late 50's 
when I got my General Class.  I got 'Phone as soon as I could get the 
modulator built. It worked, I talked with some locals, few out there aways, 
but I soon discovered, I got out a great deal better on CW with a much less 
power and antenna than on 'Phone.  I went back to CW and the speed kept 
climbing, because I was having fun and NOT trying to raise it.  This was 
before incentive licensing and not any operating advantage for the Extra,  
and you had to wait two years before you were allowed to take the test.

I work many EU's on 20 meters with 50 Watts and a dipole. This is today. On 
SSB, I probably wouldn't hear them.  When the sun spot activity increases, 
yes, you'll do well, but until then, it's a rough row to hoe.

Good luck, congratulations, have FUN!

  AMATEUR STATION VANITY CALL SIGN SYSTEM - FILING GATE 1 OPENS MAY 31, 1996

Amateur operators who meet the following eligibility standards may request a 
vanity call sign on or after May 31, 1996.  File your request on FCC Form 
610-V.  Legibility is critical!  If the information on your application is 
not legible, you could experience a delay in processing, lose the 
opportunity to obtain a requested call sign or even obtain a call sign 
different from what you want.  You must hold an unexpired amateur 
operator/primary station license grant of the proper operator class, as 
described below, to request a vanity call sign for your primary station.  To 
request a vanity call sign for a club station, you must also hold an 
unexpired club station license grant listing you as the license trustee. 
 Refer to the licensee data base to verify that the call sign you are 
requesting is not already assigned.  A call sign is normally assignable two 
years following license expiration, surrender, revocation, set aside, 
cancellation, void ab initio, or death of the grantee.  See Fact Sheet 
PR5000 Number 206-V AMATEUR STATION VANITY CALL SIGN SYSTEM.  For 
explanations of Groups A, B, C and D and the geographic Regions, see Fact 
Sheet PR-5000 #206, AMATEUR STATION SEQUENTIAL CALL SIGN SYSTEM.

REQUEST BY FORMER HOLDER (PRIMARY STATION) - For your primary station, you 
may request a call sign that was previously assigned to your primary, 
secondary, repeater, auxiliary link, control, or space station. When so 
requesting for your primary station:
   You may request your former call sign even though it has been unassigned 
for less than two years.  The two year requirement does not apply to an 
otherwise eligible primary station if the call sign was previously assigned 
to a station of the requestor.
   You do not have to hold a class of operator license required for the 
Group (A, B, C, or D) for the call sign requested.  A call sign request by 
former holder may be from any Group in the sequential system.
   Your mailing address does not have to be in the Region designated in the 
sequential system for the call sign requested.  A call sign requested by a 
former holder may be in any Region.

REQUEST BY CLOSE RELATIVE OF FORMER HOLDER NOW DECEASED (PRIMARY STATION)  - 
For your primary station, you may request a call sign that was previously 
assigned to the primary, secondary, repeater, auxiliary link, control, or 
space station of your now-deceased spouse, child, grandchild, stepchild, 
parent, grandparent, stepparent, brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, 
aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, or in-law. When so requesting for your primary 
station:
   You may request the former call sign of a close relative now deceased 
even though it has been unassigned for less than two years.  Upon the death 
of the holder, a call sign is assignable immediately to an otherwise 
eligible primary station of a close relative.
   You must be an Amateur Extra Class operator to request a Group A call 
sign.
   You must be an Amateur Extra or Advanced Class operator to request a 
Group B call sign.
   You must be an Amateur Extra, Advanced, General, Technician Plus, or 
Technician Class operator to request a Group C call sign.
   You must be an Amateur Extra, Advanced, General, Technician Plus, 
Technician or Novice class operator to request a Group D call sign.
   Your mailing address does not have to be in the Region designated in the 
sequential system for the call sign requested.  A call sign requested by a 
close relative of former holder now deceased may be in any Region.

REQUEST BY FORMER HOLDER (CLUB STATION) - For the club station for which you 
are the license trustee, you may request a call sign that was previously 
assigned to that station.  When so requesting for a club station:
   You may request your club station's former call sign even though it has 
been unassigned for less than two
years.  The two year requirement does not apply to an otherwise eligible 
club station if the call sign was previously assigned to the club station 
for which the requestor is the license trustee.
   You do not have to hold a class of operator license required for the 
Group (A, B, C, or D) for the call sign requested.  A call sign request by 
former holder may be from any Group in the sequential system.
   Your mailing address does not have to be in the Region designated in the 
sequential system for the call sign requested.  A call sign requested by a 
former holder may be in any Region.

A $30.00 fee is required with your FCC Form 610-V application.  Payment of 
fees may be made by check (payable to "FCC"), bank draft, money order or 
credit card.  If paying by credit card, you must also complete and submit 
FCC Form 159 with your FCC Form 610-V. (Do not send cash.)  Send your 
application package to:

Subject: Contest Station Antenna Question
Message-ID: <96050206243836961@ctobbs.com>

Hope this is a legitimate question for this reflector.  Just retired and
will be moving to a 5 acre site near Mt. Shasta, Ca. in the near future.
Hope to upgrade my contest station from little pistol to at least medium
calibre (i.e. .22 to .40 for those familiar with firearms)

New QTH is at 2000 feet.  peaks of 3200 feet at 3 miles distance and
5500 feet at 8 miles.  Fortunately 270 degrees out of 360 has no
obstructions. The 3200 foot peak is straight over the north pole. The
5500 foot peak is at JA (damn!).

Anyhow, I don't have access to TA or similar software.  For those much
more knowledgable than I, will those peaks at those distances cause any
problems?  I know that slightly higher peaks at slightly closer
distances caused some problems at NK7U until Joe built some "echelon
stacks" to alter the takeoff angle.  Until then we had a tough time with
JA from his place.

Anyhow, any thoughts, input, etc would be appreciated.  Rather than take
up reflector space please respond dirct to JBOYD@CTOBBS.COM

Preference here is to do a 'N?'

or

You could try this:

Just pause for a few seconds, send nothing. The good op that is calling you
and  has good timing will realize you didnt get a call. That same op will
also hear the slow ones and/or the long callsigns still calling you as he
finishes his first call. This happens a lot when I get more than 2 replies
to a CQ. Just pause and the ones on the ball will call you again.

Dave and All,

I've been waiting for 'LXC to wade in on this one....must be too busy
scraping last winters moss and mold off to answer........

A ground rod driven into undisturbed soil will provide the lowest rod to
earth resistance.  However firmly packed soil will do almost as good at
initial installation and after 5 years show no appreciable difference to a
driven rod in undisturbed soil.  One consideration when installing rods in
wet areas:  if you don't have a good ground system in place that spreads the
current out over a number of rods/conductors, you run the risk of having the
ground rods blasted out of the ground during a lightning event.  This is due
to the moisture in the soil flashing to steam and popping the rods out of
the ground.  I saw this at an irrigation pump installation that got whacked.
Popped the two panel ground rods (per NEC, the installation required 2 rods
because of high rod resistance with one.  Code says less than 25 ohms) 4
feet out of the ground.  Other wierd things; blew the end bell off the motor
and sent the armature 35 feet away into a barn.  Scared the bejabbers out of
the farmer.

Hope this helps.

OOPS! I was a little hesitant to put the 'review' on the reflector since 
there was some criticism of its original announcement/appearance 
here-but it IS pretty relevant to finding addresses/etc. THAT's why I 
didn't mention anything else about it. So, the rest of it goes like 
this:  RAC n' Rollup v1.0

RAC n' Rollup is a frontend processor for the Radio Amateur Callbook CD. 
It provides for immediate callsign processing (e.g. no required 
selection of US or DX), and allows several label printing options. It 
was written by Steve, N2CKH; and is available direct from him-at the 
address below-for $9.95 + $1.50 postage (on 2 HD 3.5" floppies.) As I 
mentioned earlier, it is exactly what RAC SHOULD have done in the first 
place, and works very well.

I should have said the above to start with, and apologize. I repeat: I

The angle over the horizon for both peaks is about 5=B0.
I have some statistics (Radio Science Sep-Oct 93) wich report the arriving
angles of of skywaves from multihop reflection: at least the 20% of signals
arrive with an angle less than 5=B0.
This means that you will surely have problems with this signals.
Anyway it is likely that also signals with an higher arrival angle will be
affected by a strong attenuation.

=46urthermore, I have some doubts on the effectivity of any kind of antenna
to overcome this problem.
The arrival angles (and, reciprocally, the effective take off angles) are
determined by the heights of reflecting ionospheric rules and even using
"echelon stacks" you can not change them.

Even though it sound straight forward, I wanted to make sure if this meant
that new clubs were NOT part of this gate. I called the number below.

The FCC told me that gate 2 is for new clubs. Gate 1A applications would
not include the 25 call wish list. I hope someone else can verify my
findings as I would not wish to spread inaccurate data and cause someone to

Answers are:

The FCC says nothing about proof of formerly having held a call, but an 
amateur MUST have held it.  If the FCC has reason to, they may require 
proof.  Also, all amateurs must sign their name agreeing to this statement:

"Willful false statements made on this form are punishable by a fine and/or 
imprisonment (US Code, Title 18, Section 1001),  and/or revocation of any 
station license or construction permit.  (US Code, Title 47, Section 
312(a)(1), and/or forfeiture (US Code, Title 47, Section 503).

I certify that all statements and attachments are true, complete and correct 
to the best of my knowledge and belief and are made in good faith."

Yes, the FTPed version of the 610-V is quite acceptable, in fact, you may 
even download it from the FCC's web page.

Subject: Bulkhead Construction
Message-ID: <199605022004.QAA23014@crystal.palace.net>


I'm in the process of making my station conform to the current
National Elecrical Code (NEC).  One of the requirements is to
have ALL conductors entering/exiting the equipment room (shack)
pass thru a properly grounded bulkhead panel.

I have two pieces of copper plate fabricated with 9 x 5/8" holes
for common coaxial bulkhead connectors (UG-363).  I have the
neccessary bulkhead connectors but have not been able to locate
circular 8 pin connectors of similar, but not necessarily the 
same, diameter for rotator or control signal applications.

Does anyone know where I can find suitable circular (or square)
bulkhead connectors for rotator or remote switch control cables.
I need several for typical 8 wire rotator cable and several 5 wire 
(TIC ring, Yaesu) control cable.  8-pin mike connectors won't handle 
the current for a 300' run of cable. Most rotator cables for long runs 
typically have a pair of 16 ga wires, or larger, for the motor and 
18-24 ga for the indicator mechanism.  Any other suggestions as to 
how to provide adequate lightening protection for control cables would 
also be appreciated.

thru Honolulu,  tho it is sort of buttery slow.  Only error messages
were things like "saerver does not respond"; no network problem
reported,  Darrell.

Pleased to be back on-line again.

73,  Jim,  AH6NB

        And you thought the kids were just after your money. Now
        you need to worry about which one gets your call! :)
