I worked 20 meters with Yeasu FT7 (25 watts) to in indoor short vertical dipole
on the first floor appartment. The antenna leaned against a concreate block wallYou can always find action on 20 cw with plenty of QRM I got much better QSO 
rates on 20 but the quality of 30 meter contacts was better. Working 15 meter
novice bands can be productive also.

  The McDonald's type radios are not going to be annoyed by intermod
because they only listen on 1 frquency, and can have very tight front
ends, which limits any out of band signals from coming in. Also, the
squeals you heard werent from those cute girls behind the counter.
It was regular audio feedback from your HT's pseaker into the McD's
microphone. Turning down your audio would have stopped it.

What about intermod.  I get so much through the rubber duck on my th78.
How come McD's isn't susceptible?  They sit right next to antenna
towers and other transmitters?

I heard about this guy who was going through their drive through the 
other day, listening to other orders on his HT.  When it was his turn
he thought it would be neat to order from his HT, but when he transmitted
a terrible squeal came from the MCD's speaker....  Any ideas?

Here, I'll have to disagree.

I use a Yaesu FT-530 (for a week now) and before that an FT-470. I never 
bought a Yaesu (or after-market) battery for either radio. They're too ex-
pensive. I've found that a 2.4-amp/hour circular phone battery (That's cel-
lular for anyone who doesn't get it) works quite well. Just plug a standard
cigarette lighter type plug into it, throw it into a backpack (Being a student,
I always cary a backpack), and off you go. I didn't find it to be an incon-
venience at all. In fact, being a very heavy HT user, (It passes the time...
:-)) I find this alternative fits my needs very well. The batteries are cheap
(I got mine for $7 at a local flea fest), they work well, and they don't weigh
a ton either.

Sorry to duplicate a posting from r.r.a.swap, but after a

try it here.

I just bought an HW-8 for a really good price, but it's a

someone out there with an HW-8 manual who would let me
borrow, copy and return it?  All expenses paid, of course,
and I'd be glad to make another copy or otherwise try to
repay the favor.

Heath will sell a photocopy of part of the manual for $15,
but I'd like to have a copy of the whole manual and have
some control over the copy quality.

Of course, it goes without saying that if anyone has a
manual they'd sell, I'm interested.

  OK.  All Flames Off.


  Mr. Deignan, I personally resent the fact that you consider all no-code
technician class operators to be lids.  Your snide article clearly reveals
your disdain for any operator less priveleged than yourself.  When the no-code
license was created, it was intended to bring new amateurs into the fold, and
with them, a certain amount of technical experts in various fields who
have been
put off of amateur radio by the requirement to learn a clearly archaic
mode of
communication.  If a certain amount of former CB operators came with
them, you 
should bid them welcome, and try to help them become the
"non-professional
professional communicators" that hams should strive be, not do your
best to 
publicly humiliate the entire class of them.

  Your previous call, N1LMB, looks suspiciously like calls that have
been issued
to No-Code Technicians that I know.  Could you have once been a
greenhorn?  Did 
you ever operate a CB rig?


  You can add the following to your list:

   * real no-codes upgrade to advanced 1 month after passing their no-code.

   * real no-codes design and build a talking repeater controller from scratch.

   * real no-codes get elected to ham club offices.

   * real no-codes act as net control for local 2 meter ARES nets.

And yes... every one of these actually happened.

We hams didn't have much of a plan either or we would not have lost it.  Use
it or lose it!  With the recent thread on 70 cm close repeaters in mind how
many of us are watching out for our microwave bands?  I hope we don't expect
the ARRL to come to our rescue.  No slight of the ARRL intended here.  Seems
too many hams have the attitude that "the League will save it for us" instead
adding our voices to the Leagues.  Bet the FCC got more comments about the
no code proposal than the lose to 220-222. <sigh>

I bought the Diamond RH-77B ($30 from AES) and use it with my DJ-580T.
It's a fabulous antenna, and makes all the difference in the world.
It's 18" long, so it's not quite as convienent as the supplied duck,
but the signal improvements are well worth it.  Saves batteries since
I can usually use low power.

Quite the opposite. Its the CB-transplants-as-no-code-operators that I

I'll be sure to relay that info to the many Novice, Technician, and

And, at the same time, they watered down the Tech/General theory exam.

Hell, if its pure volume of new hams you want, why don't we just make

Yeah, and when we try to do that, we're labelled "ham cops" by people

The MFJ antenna is a ripoff of the C4 co-axial half wave vertical design.
I guess the Hy-gain patent expired on the loading coil design as MFJ is 
using it.

I bought a C4 and after using it for a week tossed it into the corner of
my garage where it still protests its abandonment by stabbing me in the
proverbial when i stray near its spikes.

Hy-gain quoted its performance as 2db gain over a GP - i.e. 1 db worse
than a dipole.

My advice is go buy a used R5 and save some bucks and you'll have a nice
antenna.

BTW it was a pig to tune those spokes on the C4 and I'm sure the MFJ
will be equally frustrating.To tune it you have to file *one* spoke on
each coil by a few mm to raise the freq so if  you go too far - tough.
Plus the spokes are brass and break easy.

I called a few dealers about the MFJ 249 SWR Analyser/freq counter and
they said late March at the earliest.

Im posting this for a fellow ham in my local area.  He recently has
purchased a TS 530S and would like to acquire the Service Manual for
this rig.  It would also be interesting to know hw many people actually
have the accompanying operating manual?  He is willing to pay copying and
postage costs.  Send all replies to my account sampson@cs.unca.edu

Don't forget the sitcom ALF.  Willie was a radio amateur and that
factored into the plot of many episodes.
