Yes, but ARRL membership is required for certain ARES positions, such
as city, district, and section EC.  I think a case could be brought
that the ARRL, because of the "closed shop" policy, must follow the
same guidelines as a non-private club.

Personally, I'd like to hear some "meat" arguments.  What happened and why?

SUBJECT:  MGT   Keys to successful operations
[Submitted by Richard Ferguson, Assistant Emergency Coordinator,
Boulder, Colorado.  KA0DXM @ WA8ZIA.#NECO.CO.USA.NA]

     Here are three keys to successful emergency operations:
     1.  Adequate training for emergency operations.  This would
         include good procedures developed through practice.
     2.  A good working relationship with the served agencies.
         If the hams do not have a close working relationship
         before the emergency, they will either not be utilized
         at all during the emergency, or utilized poorly.
         Perhaps the best reason for a focused group rather than
         an umbrella group is that a dedicated group is what the
         served agencies generally want!  They are the
         "customer" for the ham radio emergency service and they
         need to be satisfied.
     3.  Good coordination between the ham groups.  If each ham
         group acts like its own kingdom, not deigning to speak
         to other ham groups, the emergency response will not be
         coordinated well.  One key aspect of most agencies is a
         lack of shared frequencies; that is, one emergency
         agency may not be able to talk to another emergency
         agency.  The hams need to be able, if needed, to
         provide the communications "glue" between many
         different agencies, governmental and non-governmental.
         Politics on the part of the hams or the agencies, often
         stand in the way of essential cooperation.

	If I so much as order a pizza, or better yet, a tow truck, over

fined.  Last year, during the Gulf War, many packet Ops were cited for 
automatically retransmitting an "anti-war" message that included a 900 
number.  
	I fully support the intent of 97.113.  I don't believe that Ham
Radio's needs are being served if we allow any "business"
communications to take place on our bands.  The present move by the FCC
to help us use our excess "capasity" scares me.
	Given the above, you can imagine my surprise and anger this past
weekend when I heard an advertisement for Disneyland/World on 28.460
MHz (+/-)!  The advertisement was under the guise of a "special event"
station "celebrating" the opening of EuroDisney World.  In addition to
making contacts with anyone who would call them, the recorded voice of
Mickey Mouse would come on every few minutes with a station ID (N6MM)
and a blurb about Disney World.

Apparently, the deal is that much mail to the previous address is
being opened and the money stolen.  However, that is not true of all
the cards as some are being received with no problem.  An op at YV5A also 
said that they don't expect to get their qsl cards for up to 60 days.

The bottom line was, if you already sent a card and can be patient, you
should wait up to 90 days before resending your card.  If you're not
patient, or haven't sent a card, use the new address and follow the
usual precautions about not giving away the nature of the letter.

This info taken from the local Cluster where it was attributed to
W4FOA, who further attributed it to a YX0AI op who was operating
YV5A.

  That's why one should be skeptical when they see... "NEW STANDARD!"

  Buy something like that and you run the risk of being completely

The old Benton Harbor Lunch Box.  (BHLB)

(As well as the Sixer and the Twoer, there was a Tener.)

My first rig (1960) was a Sixer.  I worked 26 states with it.  Output
power is about 4 W (am) of a variation of Heising modulation (used an
AUTORANSFORMER.

The rcvr is a superregenerative.  Not much is super about it.  Many, many
hams used these in Indiana.  In Terre Haute we had a huge roundtable every
night from just after dinner lasting until "bedtime".  What a fun time
that was.  When E-skip was in, the 4 W was about three more than needed.

The were many "mods" (we didn't use that term in those days) for the Sixer
and Twoer, such as VFO, squelch, different rf connectors, etc.

I used my Sixer both in the shack and mobile.  That's where the good old
HALO came into its own.

After building a homebrew converter to use with a BC-342 rcvr, I just
used the Sixer's xmtr in the shack.  It made a great combo.  The Sixer
was retired in the mid sixties or so when I acquired a Seneca.  I sold
it for 15$.

(Later a a hamclub auction I bought another Sixer for 5$, which I still
have.  I think it still works.)

Sometime when six is really open, I'll find a kindred soul and we'll
QSY to 50.4 MHz (or whatever my xtal is) and I'll have one last QSO
with the BHLB.  Then I will cast it in clear resin and use it for a
"conversation piece".  Come to think of it, that's what I originally
bought it for!

I've not thought about my BHLB for years, and it'll probably be years
before I think about it again. HI

73 es cul de K9CUN, Jack

derry@rosevc.rose-hulman.edu


The BHLBs played a LARGE part in greatly increasing the occupancy
of the VHF bands at that time when everyone was sure that VHF was
on its way out and we were about to lose much of the 50-54 MHz band.

old parts GM stocks...

	I have only had one occasion do deal with Icom service. When I was in
college we had a IC-251A that had the internal power supply fail. Although we
had a wealth of competent electrical engineers, we inquired about a replacement
from Icom and were told that it was not available and they could not service
the one we had due to lack of parts. I'm sure that none of the parts could
have been all that special in a power supply. The radio was roughly 4 or 5
years old at the time and I was very surprised to hear that Icom would not
service it.

From what I heard they are very rare.

Unless you are out in the "middle of nowhere" I doubt that a "Two-er"

My immediate reaction was pretty much like your's 'Come on lets

    I have recently saved from the junk box and Icom IC-22S that had seen
    better days.  The radio is now working again.  This radio is the Icom
    that has 22 channels that were diodes programmed.  The radio also only
    covered 146 and 147MHz.  Has anyone ever modified on of these radios
    to operate in the 145 segment?  I do have a copy of the RADIO/TECH
    MODIFICATIONS NUMBER 4 so don't tell me to look there.  Nothing in that
    book on that model.  I've seen lots of these radios at flea markets so
    they are still around.  I want to use the radio in a dedicated packet
    station.  It would be a good one for that use if it would only go
    down to 145.  Any help in net land would be great.   Thanks for the BW.
