Come on, a little bit of tobacco residue can be removed.  It's the equipment
that smokes when you apply the power that you have to worry about.  I can
understand not shopping in a store because you can't stand the smell.  But
avoiding mail order equipment is going a bit too far.

[relayed from packet by KA1NCN]

New prefix for Slovenija is S5. Change of calls will be
effective October 24th, 1992.

Old calls with one letter in sufix will be closed down
[like YT3A, YU3L etc]. One letter calls [S53A etc] will be
given for temporary actions with NO permanent licence.

Two letter calls [personal stations with full HF licence] will
be changed as follows:

S51AA-S51ZZ  <- YU3AA-YU3ZZ
S52AA-S52ZZ  <- YT3AA-YT3ZZ
S53AA-S53ZZ  <- YZ3AA-YZ3ZZ
S54AA-S54ZZ  <- 4N3AA-4N3ZZ
S55AA-S59ZZ  <- full HF licence

Any HAM not satisfied with this sysem can request different CALL
in S51AA-S59ZZ. So, YU3FK expects to be S53FK, not S51FK.

Three letter sufixes CALLs will be changed as follows:
S55AAA-S55ZZZ  repeaters, beacons, packet nodes [they are S55Yxx]
S56AAA-S56ZZZ  VHF/UHF only licences, now YT3AAA-YT3ZZZ
S57AAA-S57ZZZ  HF novice licence, now YZ3AAA-YZ3ZZZ and 4N3AAA-4N3ZZZ
S58AAA-S58ZZZ  radioclubs, now YU3AAA-YU3ZZZ

S50AA-S50ZZ and S50AAA-S50ZZZ are special calls for HAM organization,
for example YT3A BBS will be probably S50BOX, and YU3ZRS official
ZRS station will be S50ZRS.

Herewith I kindly ask all packet SYSOPs world wide, to adjust routing
tables for Slovenija, so that no mail addresses @S5 is lost. Exact
calls of nodes and BBSes will be reported when new licences are
issued.

Plese note, that DXCC status of Slovenia is obvious, the
only question still discussed in ARRL DXAC is starting date
in 1991 ! So, if you worked any Slovenian station, you
alredy have Slovenia worked. Also, Slovenia is separate WAE
entity, thus valid as multiplier in CQ WW contest.

Hi Jim,
   I have no personal experience of the unit, but I do remember
seeing a review recently in Yachting World which compared the
Sony unit with an Ensign unit from Trimble, a Magellan unit and
another unit that I can't remember at the moment. As fas as I can
recall, the Ensign and the Magellan came out tops. The Pyxis
system came in a bulky case and looked a bit fiddly. However, it
did have a detachable antenna you could stick up high some dist-
ance from the unit to get a better signal. I thought the Magellan
unit was neat because it was waterproof and it floated. None of
the units would work well indoors (not surprising :-) and battery
life in most cases was in the order of less than an hour, which
is pathetic.
   I'll dig out the entire review tonight and post relevant
details tomorrow.
   Cheers,
   Simon Woodworth.

The formula that's been in the ARRL handbook for many years works pretty
well if you don't need high precision:

L (uH) = [R^2 N^2] / [9 R + 10 L]

Where L is inductance in uH, R is coil radius in inches, L is length
in inches and N is thenumber of turns.

For example, N = 7.5 turns, R = .25", L = .5" gives .485 uH.

While there are people who are completely intolerant of cigarette smoke,
they are a minority. Most people don't mind, and some are positively
delighted to find a place that doesn't impose a draconian ban on smoking
in their establishments. It is a business decision, of course, do you
annoy the 25% of the population who smoke to appease the small vocal
minority of complainers, or do you alienate 25% of your customers to
keep that minority happy. The bulk of the population cares less one
way or the other, no smoking areas are a recent development on the
commercial scene.

Thanks for the review Chuck.  A suggestion for fixing the volume control
problem:  

If the pot is of linear taper, then replace it with one with
an audio taper.  

If it has an audio taper then consider switching the side leads on the pot.  
This will make the pot reverse (clockwise for less volume) but it might 
expand the desired part of the resistance range.

If you have been smarting for 30+ years over why you can't operate
HF it couldn't have been too much to bear.  What's the big deal
getting from 5 wpm to 13wpm that stopped you, besides inaction?
Most people can do that in a matter of a few weeks.

I was in favor of the no-code license because I recognized it
to be the greatest bait and switch deal ever proposed; and I was
right.  A very high percentage of these new amateurs have gone
on to get a higher level ticket.  But that hasn't been the case
with you,  I am sorry to see.  The incentives, obviously, aren't
