Subject: Mint stamps for QSLing
Organization: Northeastern University
Date: Thu, 17 Dec 1992 05:49:37 GMT

I 've had multiple requests concerning my post yesterday about using
mint foreign stamps for QSL return postage, so I decided to post this
to the group.

The fellow I do business with is:

William J. Plum
12 Glenn Road
Flemington, NJ 08822

An SASE will bring you his current price list. He's got a pretty exhaustive
list of countries, and he also carries a full line of QSLing supplies such
as the oversized (Euorpean) air mail envelopes in several different sizes
so you can put one in the other, also no-frills QSLs and eyeball cards.
He's got a FAX # and takes V/MC. 

Some examples: G - $0.90 / F - $1.20 / DL - $1.35. These are for AIRMAIL.
I especially like to use stamps for Africans.


Good QSLing and 73,
Len KB2R

I personally do not.  However, a friend of mine, whose wife is also a
ham, has told me some stories:

1)  Car parked in front of house has 2m mobile stolen when window
    smashed in during the night.

2)  Months later, same thing as #1.

3)  Wife leaves window of car down, door unlocked, parked in front of
    house.  2m mobile stolen AGAIN!

Yes, the first two radios were covered by the insurance, with no problems.
His wife felt stupid about radio #3, but was convinced to submit a form
to the insurance co.  Radio was replaced, even considering the circum-
stances.  See if your homeowner's insurance will do that!

I've thought about this but my homeowner's insurance does not cover "small

a $1000 deductible. Where is American Family Insurance and has anyone had
any experience with them? I don't want to repeat my experience with a Honda

Sharon:

Nice idea - I like it.  But isn't it already in effect on one or more of
the WARC bands?  Certainly many contests specifically exclude WARC bands
(eg. field day).  Also, in my DXCC booklet/checklist from ARRL, 30 meters
is missing from the checklist.  Does this mean that DX contacts on 30
meters don't count for DXCC?

Maybe this is why the WARC bands are so pleasant for rag-chew type QSOs.

  I've got an FT-726R that I purchased used and I think its a nice radio.
  Not the world's most bulletproof receiver, but still a good value.
  I have modules for 6M, 2M and 432 MHz. I seem to recall that I have
  about $1k wrapped up in it, which I think is representative of its
  value on the used market. (Its not for sale, just mentioning it here
  as a data point).

          This is the module for the 'sideband' portion of the band
          (at least in the US).

          This is the module for the FM portion of the band.

     And the main problem with the module scheme is that you can only
     put three modules in. So if you want 70 cm on both SSB and FM, 
     the rig is full (because 2Meters is standard).

  yes. An even more "evil" method, a Variable split band scrambling module

  Variable is by no means trivial with this package having 4 Meg of key

  Yes indeed! Great fun to throw in the old hand held. Should make interesting
  reading to your response to the FCC on an order to show cause for use in
  the amateur bands. Note: I know you included the disclaimer about encryption,
  I'm just joking about the OSC.

  By the way, I bought thier "standard cordless phone voice inversion" chip
  set. Now I just throw a switch on the old scanner when the go "private".

Not only that, but you may qualify for the 5 wpm even if you FAIL the

If you get 25 characters in a row correct in the 13 wpm test, many exam

        Have an old AEA CP-1 laying about languishing due to the lack of an
RS-232 port to talk to an IBM? (Or non-TTL platform of your choice.)

        Parts required for this mod: Texas Instruments SN75150J, SN75152J a
right angle "long-reach" version DB-25S connector and a handfull of descrete
parts.

        The only problem with this mod is that the SN75152J is an obsolete
part. No longer stocked or available from TI suppliers. The good news is that
I've discovered a source of these parts. They're $9.00 each with a $50 minimum
order.

        If you would like to upgrade your AEA CP-1, and you don't feel like
having 5 spare line receiver IC's let me know. If I get several responses here,
I'll place an order and get the other parts together and ship a complete kit.

        Send the mail back to me privately. Note: For the self-appointed net-
police; this is not a commercial venture. It is offered at cost as a service.

        The AEA CP-1 (Computer Patch) is a dumb tone modem based on Exar 2206
and 2211 ICs. And works very well with CW, RTTY, ASCII and AMTOR. Programs that
support dumb-modem (non TNC) operation are available from HAL devices and other

  An idea that I used once in an appartment building - I had a ground floor
appartment adjacent to the parking lot. Bought a good mobile antenna, mounted
it on the car. (Hustler - easily removable). At night when 40 and 80 were
good, put the antenna on the mobil mount, ran 50' of co-ax into the appartment
and connected it to the rig.

   Worked great (better on 40 than 80, but worked on both bands). When I was
done, unhooked the co-ax and threw it in the trunk. If anyone asked - I had
a mobile rig that I ran in the car sometimes. - No law or covenant aginst it..

This may be an urban legend, but ...  I heard about a guy in the military
who learned to receive CW by typing it (archaic mechanical typewriter).
He could copy fast CW, but only if he had a typewriter.  Other than that,
he was a very poor typist -- could hardly type a word -- unless he heard
the CW.

service for Russian cards? I received multiple responses to my post last week
about Russian QSLing that mentioned him. Do I have the call correct?
Do I just send him the cards and a couple greenstamps and take my chances?
I know I've done similar things with W3HNK in the past with mixed results.
But mixed results are sure better than no results :-) !
