 I wonder if anyone out there with a 92 US callbook and/or supplement
could look up the following calls for me:

KC4EW
KE3DK
KB1ADT

They are not listed in my 91 *nor* in the on-line call stuff I have
access to.

If you find them, email to

Thanks to Paul, K1XM, the Yankee Clipper Contest Club, Ellen, W1YL,
and Steve, KU9C, the following DX information.

BANGLADESH.  S21A is active on 15 meter SSB.  Also look around 14256
kHz at about 0100z.  QSL via W4FRU.

NORTH COOK.  ZK1RS is very active from Penrhyn Island.  Check 14198
kHz between 0400 and 0500z, and 3795 kHz at 1000z.  He has also been
spotted several times on 18115 kHz SSB, 10105 kHz CW and 14083 kHz
RTTY.  QSL via ZL4DO.

MALAWI.  7Q7XX has been operating CW recently.  Check the bottom 10
kHz of 80 and 40 meters after 2300z.

TANZANIA.  5H0ROA and 5H0ROA/A are both on, with most activity being
20 meter SSB between 14150 and 14250 kHz.  5H0ROA has also been
spotted on 14084 kHz RTTY.

LEBANON.  OD5/SP1MHV has been heard around 14025 kHz between 2300
and 0300z several days this past week.  QSL via his home call.

PAKISTAN.  AP/WA2WYR continues to be active on CW most days.  Check
around 21025, 21035 or 14027 kHz.  He also operates with RTTY.

TRINIDADE.  Mendonca, PY0TUP, is on the air and has been heard
working Europeans on 7064 after about 2300z.  He is very
inexperienced in DXing and CW, but is trying to put in more time on
CW.  License class restrictions limit his SSB operating to 40, 80
and 160 meters.  He is running without the benefit of gain antennas
or an amplifier, and does not have split capability.  If you hear
him on, please be patient, as he has had very little pile-up
experience.  QSLs for CW QSOs go via the callbook address of PY1RO
only.  Do not send cards to the American QSL manager of PY1RO.
Phone QSLs go to PO Box 108674, Sao Goncalo, RJ.24.620, Brazil.

JERSEY.  Hank, PA3FWU, will activate Jersey as GJ/PA3FWU on 80
through 10 meters, including the WARC bands, between July 31 and
August 8.  QSL to Box 268, 3940 AG, Doorn, The Netherlands.

SOLOMON ISLANDS.  Local radio amateurs will operate H44GC from 0800z
Friday, August 7 until 0800z Sunday, August 9 to commemorate the
50th anniversary of the battle for Guadacanal.  The operating site
will be from an old base known as Fighter Two.  SSB frequencies will

Hi!  I saw this article in 73 (July 1991) by WA6TLK.  It shows you how
to make an antenna for a 2m HT from measuring tape.  My question is :
What does that antenna get connected to?  For that matter what do all
 antennas get connected to?  The co-ax and BNC couplers have 2 conductors.  
The antenna (either this or a telescoping or any other) have only 1 
conductor that radiates.  Right?  If so what is the second conductor in the 
wire for?  If not, what does the second conductor connect to? 

 Maybe I have the concept wrong.  Yes, I am a new ham.  I would appreciate
 any help on the topic.  Probably just a misconception on my part.

Please E-mail me and save bandwidth.  If you think it will help others then
post.  Either way, thanks in advance.

Two things.  One, a difference in quality.  "The Garmin GPS50 isn't as
ruggedly constructed as the Magellan Nav 5000 and is a bit more difficult
to use" (Practical Sailor, June 1, 1992).  Second, the Magellan provides
for multiple "map datums" (I know, the plural of datum is data, but that's
what they call it).  If you're using it for navigation, and you're using a
single map datum that's different from the chart you're using, you can 
end up a mile or more off course--and on the rocks.

"Selective Availability" (SA) has been turned on almost continuously since
the Gulf War (when they had to turn it off, because they were using so 
many "civilian" units!).  SA "degrades GPS accuracy to only 100 meters
95 percent of the time and 300 meters the other five percent of the time.
Despite claims of considerably better accuracy by GPS manufacturers, that
is the best accuracy you will be able to realize on a consistent basis"
(Practical Sailor, March 1, 1992).

SA also affects the speed and bearing readings you get, and the log as 
well.  A friend accidentally left his on while his boat was at the dock,
and when he returned discovered that the boat had travelled (supposedly)
several miles, simply because the GPS kept getting slightly different 
readings!

This describes me exactly.  In fact, it was during my wild years of no-radio
that I missed getting a custom 1X2 call.  My old crosstown CW ragchew buddy,
WA7LDZ, paid attention and now he's W7SW.  Annoyed at myself, I'm keeping my
original call forever, or at least until I can get a single letter in front
of the number like the no-codes get.

What if you don't have celluar coverage in your area?  In Flagstaff our celluar
coverage only encompasses an area slightly larger than the city.  Most of the
roadside emergencies that I have heard on the local repeater occur farther out
of town.  Cars stranded on the side of the road, especially at night, can be a
big danger.  My first attempt would be to get another ham to call a tow truck
for me, but if that didn't work, I would not hesitate to use the autopatch to
make the call myself.

Organization: Paramax Systems Corp (A Unisys Company), Great Valley Labs, PA


I recently bought a dual band 2 meter/440 HT.  For years I have wanted
to put up a 'decent' 2 meter antenna on the house so now I looks like I am
looking for a dual band antenna instead.

I am looking for something along the line of the Diamond X500 series.  That
general size/price category.  For now, the antenna would be mounted on the
peak of the roof about 30 feet above the ground.  It may eventually get moved
to a 60 foot tower.

The X500 sounds perfect but I have heard that it has some structural problems.
I want something that I can put up and not have to worry about, but also don't
want to spend much over around $200.

Looking for any general recommendation/comments on the Diamond vs. some
of the other manufacturers of similar antennas.  I saw part of a thread
about the X500 recently but our News server was having some problems around
that time and I lost most of them.

Please e-mail and I will post a summary if I get enough responses.

As you said it seems to be a bit light for survival in "real" winds.  But it

This is ironic. My parents are members of the AARP, which is the American
Association of Retired People". Given the similarity between AARL and AARP,
I'm tempted to suggest the following:

	The ARRL change the name to AARL, which stands for the
	"American Association of Retired Lids".

  Of course, I'm not suggesting that Bob or Steve or anyone else is a
lid or even retired. In fact, I'm an ARRL member and will continue to
be so regardless of a name change. Why? I like QST and QEX.

Roughly since the Big Bang.  You don't often see it in metallic form
because it's somewhat reactive.  Most applications of "calcium" are
applications of calcium compounds.

Why isn't this clear? If there's a body laying on the roadway leaking fluids
THAT is a potential loss of life incident. If it means you have to walk 50
feet to a call box and wait an hour like the rest of humanity, THAT is merely
an inconvience and doesn't justify using the auto patch.

If you want to use the auto patch to call a tow truck and save yourself some
inconvience, call a friend tell them what the situation is and have them call.
