I wish to echo my PROTEST and agree 1.810 to 1.820 MHz is UNAPPROPRIATE!!!!
The above comment shows lack of understanding of DX CW work on 160m.
As operation over a wide frequency range on 160m is at best "problematical"
consuming a specialized communications technique right in the middle of the
CW only part of the band (and just below the CW DX window) is "stupid" in my
mind.  There is a plethora of room higher in frequency on 160m.  Why not 
a compromise such as taking a  sliver of both CW and Phone frequencies, ie 
1.850 +- (intent is between CW and Phone bands, freq might be off).  
This way you're out of both modes' hair and, in addition, create
a kind of "no mans" or buffer zone from the two modes. 

 A kind of "mode animosity" already exists between CW and Phone on that band
why add digital modes to the fire when proper placement can minimize impact.
Also, the band is not so sparsely populated as is popularly assumed.  Compared
to 20m yes, compared to 220MHz (which everyone is so quick to moan and 
complain that we lost a chunk), it is well populated.

Find out where the computer is, and route all your coax cables as far 
away from it as possible.

Ground the heck out of all your equipment.

Draw power directly from the battery, not the fuse block.  Use a relay if 
you want switching on the ignition key, and use toroids on all cables.

Use a permanant (hole) mount antenna wherever possible; magnet mounts 
don't ground worth a darn, and mess up your finish worse than the 
permanant mount.  Trunk lip mounts are OK if you make sure to ground the 
antenna mount more than properly.

A local ham did this with his Caravan, and he runs 50 watts on 2m and 
440, as well as 100+ watts on HF with no problem.

 As I mentioned in a earlier message that after I had
passed all the tests to get my Extra I came to conclusion that they were
a total mismash. There's little real expansion of knowledge as you go 
higher in classes. The Tech and the General are just a rehash of the Novice
test. The only 3 tests that seem to have any value are the Novice, Advanced
and the Extra. At least you learn something off those. If we would reduce
our tests to those 3 and revamp them a bit we would have gone a long way
to improving the body of knowledge out there . I believe that was point
of incentive licensing and after taking all 5 tests it's pretty obvious 
that they failed in doing this. Dedication and desire are nice but they have
little to do with ham radio. Save that for public service. This is only
a hobby. 73!

Not at all.  Her point is that the smoke is *physically unpleasant* to
the customers.  The objection is not that _they_ smoke, but that they
force _us_ to breathe acrid fumes.

I would question the business sense of people who can't be bothered to
remedy a problem that is making their store physically almost
intolerable to many of their potential customers.

No,no,no,no, NO!!  The brownian resonance frequency of the tannin ions in the

Sorry, Gary, but the MAJORITY of people dislike second-hand smoke.
Even the smokers I know dislike other people smoking around them.
Besides, there is the problem of smoke damage to the inventory.
Electronic equipment works better if there aren't stray resistances
in the circuit.  Rubber parts don't degenerate as quickly in a 
smoke-free environment.  Connectors don't become intermittent as quickly.
Disk drives don't die as soon.  The list goes on and on.

If an electronics store is eager for my business, they won't allow
smoking in their establishment.  In fact, since cigarette smoke causes 
me physical discomfort, I make every effort to avoid contact with it.
So any store with a "no smoking" policy will be inifintely more attractive
than one without.

So, put that in your pipe and smoke it :-)

I have an AMTOR problem with my DSP-2232.  When I connect to some PK-232s

first changeover occurs.  Either one of us can call the other and the link
works fine until the changeover.  One station I have problems with is
U5WF on 14.075.  I can talk to this one just fine with 1990 firmware
in his PK-232, but not 1991.  I would really like to hear what happens
when someone else with a DSP-2232 tries to connect to him.  The selcal
is UUWF and the MBO is on most of the time.  I connect and idle with
no errors.  When the MBO forces the changeover, the link goes to all
errors.  You can leave a message there for me (KC4ZEN) or Victor

Well, if it is such a popular request, doesn't that indicate a
significant amount of interest in such a project?  

I am sure that the vast majority of those who read about QRP
transmitters do not actually build them.  It has been expressed here
(during the thread/flamewar about QRP rigs) that many do not have any
interest in building a QRP rig but is interested in the techniques
involved.

Was wondering, now that United Parcel Service has had 220 for some time
now, if they are actually using it.  If they are using ACSB(sp) modulation
system?  Heard that they deciced that ACSB really wouldn't work too
well.  Maybe, if they don't use it, we could get it back, maybe make it
a packet band?  SURE.

Is there a list of Commercial Ham Radio Programs (Not just logging  
programs) that are available?

If so, does it have the name of the company, there phone number, and  
address?

If you have it could you please email it to me!

Thanks,
