To make it short and sweet, GO TRY CB and then complain about CW. CB 
is the perfect world, no tests and better yet no code! Amateur radio
consists of a myriad of modes of which CW is a major part believe it
or not. If you just want to ragchew go use CB, if you want to do
amateur radio learn code. Code is a MAJOR PART OF HAM RADIO. It has
whole sections of bands devoted to it and they are heavily used. Kinda
like getting your degree, what does PE have to with it? So once again
the perfect world is CB radio. No stupid tests, no stupid code. 

Sheesh, time to go do some CW on 20 meters...

I am relying on memory so I do not remember the formula.  I think
it is inductance divided by resistance.  The value of a given coil
is more efficient if there is a high Q (quality or merit of an
inductance).  Normally, in amplifier building you chose a Q of
around 10 or 12 for the inductance coils.  If your Q is too high,
it can become difficult to tune and it can be so sharp that
speech sidebands are attenuated to the point that speech is
not understandable due to cutting off of needed speech
frequencies.  Very high Q can be unstable because of temperature
variations which affect the resistance of the coil.  With not
enough Q, you do not have a resonant tank circuit which will
oscillate on a given frequency.  I recall the same thing
applies for capacitance except the Q formula might be XC times
resistance.

Yes.

More appropriate for your concerns, there is a group called the Society
of Amateur Radio Astronomers (SARA) which publishes a journal.  This
will probably be of interest to you.  I don't have the address handy
right now, but if I'm reminded, I'll mail or post it next time I'm in
my office.

I have met several amateur radio astronomers (not to mention quite a
few pros).  It is certainly possible to do interesting and serious
astronomy (though perhaps not ground-breaking) on an amateur basis.
Because large, continuous aperture antennas are expensive, most of
it is done with phased or interferometer arrays.  The cost of these is more
modest, and they can be built up gradually.

The sun, a bright moon, the milky way, and, at certain wavelengths,
Jupiter can all be easily detected with amateur equipment.  If you
can get a tracking system, monitoring the sun's activity at various
VHF wavelengths and correlating it with sunspot and flare activity
and published 10 cm data would be a very interesting project.

Amateurs still play a big role in all of astronomy, and can still make
important discoveries.  SN 1987A was discovered by an amateur.

Also, the OSU Radio Observatory depends a great deal on the support
of volunteers, both material and effort.  This is another way for
amateurs to make a contribution.  New Zealand is somewhat remote from
Ohio, but you might check with more local observatories.

Hi Scott:

First, you are quite unlikely to find an Argonaut 515 for anything less than
$300.  You may find an Argonaut 509 for around $200-$250 out here on the
West Coast ($275 used from Ten Tec), and can find an Argonaut 505 for
$150-$200.

Your choice of QRP rigs can have a lot of dimensions.  First, remember that
the Ten Tec Argonaut 505, 509, and 515 do not have WARC bands.  Other than
that, they are each first class little SSB/CW radios for the money.  You
can run them for days on Lantern Batteries, and with a reasonable antenna,
can work the world, and ragchew on 75 to your hearts content.  They are not
very selective, but are adequately sensitive.

I haven't used the MFJ rigs, but they are monoband, and CW only.  I suspect
that they are quite good for their purpose, but won't give you the several
bands or the option of SSB.  They are smaller and lighter (by some amount,
I suspect) than the Argonaut. You can buy them new, with a warranty.
An old Argonaut may take some fiddling to get it just right.

I am a confirmed Argonaut fan.  I have a 509.  I dream of finding a 515
for $200...... it has a somewhat improved front end design over the
others.  Anyway, good luck in your search.  Write me (off line) with
any other questions you may have.  I love to talk (write) about QRP
rigs!

I wish him luck! I have a TW4000 that I brought from the U.K., and I've
been trying to get the 440 Mhz section re-aligned for the U.S. (the U.S.
is 10 Mhz higher than Europe). I've tried writing to Kenwood in California
(who were spectacularly unhelpful), and to Kenwood Japan. Kenwood Japan
send me an instruction sheet (written in pigin english) detailing how to
change the synthesizer, but not how to re-align the RF stages. Consequently,
I now have a dual-band transciever that correctly tunes 440 Mhz, but produces
no RF out and is deaf! (Fortunately, the 2 meter portion didn't
require any retune - just cut a wire and reset the microprocessor.)

Good Luck.. Darrell NR3Y/G4MZF.

The spike exists solely because of the end of WWII. You will find another 
spike in 1952 corresponding with the end of the Korean War, but it is not 
quite as large. The reason is that the "boys" came back from overseas, and 
if they were married, had many conjugal relations with their wives, and 
if not married many quickly got married - same results. This is a common 
syndrome for people deprived from sex for long periods while undergoing 
the extreme pressures of war. Note that this was not the case at the end 
of the Vietnam War because of all the "bad vibes" the returnees got from 
the general populous. The attrocities seen (and committed) by the "boys" 
along with this rejection had the seemed to restrict the "mating urge".

Subject: Antenna mounting ideas for Ford Explorer?
Summary: Anyone found a good way?
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 1992 00:20:16 GMT
Organization: Hewlett-Packard NARC Atlanta
Keywords: explorer


Having recently traded my Nissan Pathfinder with dual NMO's on the roof
for a Ford Explorer, I am pondering antenna mounting schemes.

Has anyone found a great way to do this?

Some ones I see are:

   1) Brute force- NMO's in the roof just above the dome light.
   I may do this long term, but do not want to do this right away.
   (I want to decide where I *really* want the antennas. Holes are
   so permanent!)

   2) Larsen "L" bracket above the rear lift gate. The lift gate does
   not open past 90 degrees, so it would work.

   3) Some type of roofrack clamp. How would you get the cable outside?
   I do not want coax running out the rear lift gate to the roof rack.
   Maybe drill a hole for the coax through the roofrack body (and roof).

   4) Larsen "L" bracket in the hood crack across from the BC antenna.

   5) On Glass- not interested. (want to use existing antennas)

   6) Mag mount- Not interested. (want permanent install)

Down the road I need to consider an HF antenna as well. On the
pathfinder I had a strong aluminum mount on the spare tire carrier hinge
mount. No such beast on the explorer. I suspect a roof rack type clamp
for HF use.

Any Ideas appreciated.

I've got it! A way to improve the telecommunications industry! Require that
all home phone users pass a 20 wpm Morse Code Test! Think of all the obscene 
phone calls that would be eliminated! No more teeny-boppers tying up the
lines with VOICE transmission and it would certainly improve the computer/modem
BBS scene by requiring knowledge of a real skill before allowing unlimited
privaleges! And a good 'ol keyer is cheaper than a phone or a computer/modem
set-up! Why the mind boggles! Think of all the technical improvements that will
accrue over the phone lines if the moribund telecomm industry follows the
example of the Ham Radio group and requires Morse Code! Why, to give you some
idea of how well this would work, just compare the progress in Ham Radio

I should also mention that I'm a neo-ludite, monarchist, and always

Here's a query.  Ni-Cads used for RC racing cars can be had in 
7.2V packs @ 1700 mA.  They are designed to be "quick charged"
in 15-20 minutes.

It would seem that this would make great "emergency power" insofar
as it significantly reduces the recharge time.  Even a "quick charge"
for traditional Ni-Cads is usually 60 minutes.  RC batteries can
be recharged in 1/4 the time.

Why don't people use these batteries (RC Model Racing) for external
power sources for HTs?  Maybe I'm missing something....

Yes, but there is not a problem if the sole new group created (Which has

The only thing a lot of cross posting will do in this case is really annoy

Well there is the CIA World Data Bank that is at various FTP sites.  It has
a lot more in it than you've requested, i.e. cities, bodies of water, etc.,
so its quite large and would need to be massaged.

Forest its a snap.  Open the case and flip a switch.  Its already wired to 
transmit on all frequencies that it receives on.  On mine it was a small 
black slide switch.  I forget now if it is on the top or bottom.  Regards,
Terry.
