In a message dated 95-10-12 19:43:05 EDT, you write:

Well, they are hoping that your stethoscope compresses the carotid arteries
to the point that you won't notice the price differential... :)
Seriously, the paper cost is a red herring.... Yes, it is up... But that sure
didn't stop them from selling 40 _extra_ pages to MFJ ! ... Now do a page
count and keep track of how many pages have paid advertising on them... Do
you know what a quarter column ad costs? How about a 4 color page with bleed
edges?... I did a 4 second count on this issue and got 270 pages (a page is
one side of a sheet), excluding the front cover page... 111 had no
advertising on them and 159 did, meaning 59% of pages contain paid
advertising.... Looks like a cash cow to me...
A major overhead at the ARRL is salaries, retirements, benefits, office
expenses... Look at the masthead and count the names Pick an average salary
figure and add a third to that for bennys (absolute minimum, probably higher)
then multiply by the body count... Whoa, makes your eyes cross, hmmm?...

Looking for something "positive" folks?
Try these:
1) Invite some Scouts over to your killer CONTEST station for the
Jamboree On The Air (JOTA) next weekend. (Might be a good
shakedown cruise for CQWW the following weekend....)
JOTA:
Runs from when you awake Saturday AM on 21 Oct., (well, Okay, 0100 hours
local),
until you go to bed Sunday nite, 22 Oct., (Okay, 'til 2359 hours local
time.)
You have exactly one week to get moving and DO something POSITIVE!!!
2) Don't want all those young-ins underfoot while you're running the
plumbing to your
water-cooled CONTEST computer?
How about inviting some of your fellow licensed hams--Technician class ops
(gasp)--over durning JOTA? You be the control op, let them sign your
call--legal as long as you're in the room with 'em--or sign
"their-call/your-call," using your privileges.
Hey, maybe you could ask 'em to help out: "Hey guys (and gals), I'm going
out to install my new 160--meter, log-periodic antenna, wanna help?" (Or
walk the Beverages, etc.) While your at it, ask them to stop by during CQWW
the next weekend for some CONTEST action.
They (Tech's or Scouts) might enjoy talking with young folks from all
around the world on HF from your CONTEST station. Here's your chance to do
something to either introduce young folks to Amateur Radio (Scouts), or give
some Technician class operators a change to "taste" HF operating. Get on
your local repeater and invite some Techs over for next weekend. Or, look in
the white-pages of your local phone book for "Boy (Girl) Scouts of America"
and offer to host a handful of Scouts (Boy,Girl,Cubs, Brownies,whatever)
during JOTA 1995, the 38th Jamboree On The Air.
Do something positive! Interest young folks in Amateur Radio! Offer your
station!
Finally, here's the suggested frequencies for JOTA:

Subject: Just the facts...
Message-ID: <199510132002.NAA01029 at cascade.cmicro.com>
Don't read this message unless you are willing to believe contest
announcements are going to continue to be published in QST.
If you want to know what the contest announcements are going to look
like in QST after this new policy is in effect... open your October
QST and look at the Sweepstakes announcement.
When you get your November QST, look at the ARRL 10 and ARRL 160
announcements.
While these don't have the full rules, they have enough information
for most people to get involved.
Contests will continue to be announced in QST. (repeat after me).
This is intended to be a postive change to encourage more newcomers
to the sport. When I wrote my message this morning, I hadn't realized
that the ARRL had beat me to this great idea.
I think many of us need to relax on this issue and cut the ARRL some
slack. There are real people there who DO care about the sport
of contesting and are FIGHTING for us. The type of response they
got to this action WITHOUT ALL THE FACTS is inappropriate and very
discouraging to them.

Subject: Egg-on-Face
Message-ID: <9510131146.ZM5358 at dr.att.com>
Naturally, just after I sang the praises of my TS-950SDX CONTEST radio, it
broke !
Before I box it up and ship it to California, and therefore won't have it back
for CQWW Phone (and probably not SS CW), I thought I would tap the collective
expertise of the CONTESTING community.
Here's what happened and the symptoms:
I was listening on 80 meters this AM, switching between various beverages,
dipoles and verticals, when I suddenly had an S-7 noise level. Through the
usual process of diagnosis and elimination, I found that the S-7 noise level
was there even when NO antenna was connected. The noise sounds like white
noise - no real modulation. It varies in strength from band-to-band, but is
the same within a band. Switching thru the attenuator steps has a very small
effect - maybe 1 dB drop in the noise for each 6 dB attenuation switched in.
Switching on the AIP drops the noise considerably. BTW, signals that are over
S-7 can be heard - the receiver is still functioning.
Any 950 (or maybe even 940 or 930) owners ever experience this before ? What
was the fix ?
Still wiping the egg off my face,
Steve, N2IC/0

Subject: OT5L qrv in cqww & testing this weekend
Message-ID: <199510132150.WAA19534 at ping1.ping.be>
OT5L will be back in the running this year !!
OT5L is the special clubcall of the UBA section NOL contest team.
After building a new contest QTH during the last 2 years - with the
help of a lot of UBA-NOL members - the qth is finally ready to be used
for contesting.
We have 5 former army shelters modified into
- 1 main station
- 2 secondary stations / swl shacks
- 1 dispatch center (packet, dx-cluster, repeater)
- 1 resting & dining shelter
- 1 bathroom & material storage
The antenna's instqlled at this moment:
- 2 beverage receiving antenna's
- 160m 90 feet vertical
- 80m 4 element vertical array
- 40m beam
- 20m beam
- 10m beam
- 15m beam
The CQ WW SSB '95 contest team:
Operators:
- ON4AEK, Theo
- ON4AKL, Luc
- ON4BR, Carlo
- ON6NL, Anton
- ON6ZX, Marc
Guest Operator: Reg, VP8BPZ, GW8VHI
Technical Crew:
- ON6JZ, Hubert (Lineair amp's)
- ON1AFN, Filip (computer network, dx-cluster, packet, dispatch)
- ON7WK, Guido (catering & support)
- ON7YP, Andre (towers & support)
- ON4AST, Richard (support)
The station will be testing during the weekend of the 14 & 15 october and
probably also the weekend before the 'big one'.
The calls used for the tests will be ON5LL (clubcall UBA-NOL), ON6NL, ON4AEK
and ON4AKL.
Hope to meet you on the band, serious signal reports are very appreciated !

Hey folks,
I'm really sorry.
Needless to say, I will find somewhere else to spend my time. Since
I obviously can't master this system, I feel sure someone will make
sure
that I am unsubscribed.
