Is this private chat room not "entertaining" you? :-)

Awwww....

Actually, SEVERAL OTHERS did that before me...then the resident

"Morse Runner" is described as a Contest Trainer, NOT as
a "code trainer." :-)

It will get you in shape for that mighty athletic "radiosport." :-)

You can always join the New Movement to make ham radio
"unique"...by emphasizing morse code. Nobody else uses it
but radio amateurs. Be the first in your neighborhood to beep!
Show off...BE somebody... :-)

Get ready for the Big One! :-)

Why would I want to do that? Morse discussion is boring for the most
part. Useful in here for whapping opponents over their cyberian noggins
with, but in the end, it is just as annoying and worthless as the
fringers in here.

Actually, it's not described as a Contest Trainer.

Sunuvagun, you set out to make some "message points" and stumbled over your
half-vast research again.

Sunuvagun!

Careful, Hans. Len will whack your "message knuckles", whatever those
are. He doesn't like having his factual errors pointed out.

Any opportunity to "correct" an Amaeur is a good day for
Lennie...Vindicates those 14 years in night shcool,

Obviously Lennie's never participated in any radio orienteering
activities.

Lennie's an idiot. Still think's Amateurs are the only one's who use
Morse Code, and completely ignores the reasons we DO use it...If the MILITARY
doesn't do it, we shouldn't...Of course then that put's Lennie in a bind since
HE is the one always trying to "make hay" over the use of the word "service" in
Amateur Radio.

What an idiot. What a putz.

Sorry, Mike, but its all about the code. Or didncha know?
How's the balloon project going?

Right...and an SUV is "just an auto to make trips to the market
in or take the kids to soccer practice." :-)

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it IS a duck
everywhere except in hamateur radio among the mighty
macho morsemen.

Hoo, ya bin hanging 'round with them iceholes again? :-)

I can't make it down to Legion Hall so why doncha go back to
all them sea stories?

Or, das gruppenfuhrer can tell all about whuppin' Charlie while
In-country in 'Nam...or the Avenging Angle (aka "Last Action
Hero") can spin yarn about his mighty "seben hostile actions?"
Bear facts from da Katapult King workin' for Navel Intelligence
would be as good.

Ho hum.

The first meeting is going to be held right after Christmas. It's going
pretty well so far. I'm gathering up the info that needs to go to the
various "department heads".

At that point, we are going to set a date, in early spring if possible
- to have two flights, tethered for the first, and a free flight with
just enough equipment to track and retrieve for the second flight. We
need to shakedown the equipment and ourselves.

Beyond that there are more presentations to make to other schools in
the area. We'll probably pitch to homeschoolers also. They are always in
need of projects for their children.

Welp, Mike, it really is all about the code. Such a shame.

Anyhow, I just got my copy of QST in the mail today. Says "Annual
Vintage Radio Issue" on the banner. Kind of like the rest of the year
except maybe April. I guess the joke's on us.
How's the balloon project coming along?

bb

I just reposted again to your original post - having problems with the
new google beta interface.

Odd. You responded to my earlier post, yet that post doesn't appear in
the thread tree.
Have any of the resident experts jumped on your wagon?

Well, here's a revival of an old subject:

FCC recently turned down an ARRL proposal to divide the HF bands by bandwidth
only. While the basic concept looks good, some of the resu;ts (like allowing
automatic stations anywhere on the bands) would not have been.

And How! The PSK "segment" of 20 meters is being ruined by Pactor
stations that transmit, looking for a signal, and hardly ever break,
just a short pause to listen, then start up again. These are
w i d e signals with lots of spurs and (splatter?). The net effect is
that the signal often takes up the whole segment. Since most of us are
using almost qrp levels, we get stomped. That is why Digipan now
includes a Pactor receiver, so we can report the miscreants.


Some time back, a few of us here discussed the idea of "refarming" the Novice
segments as "digital playgrounds". The idea was that Novices and "Techs with
HF" would get more bandwidth on their current bands (say, all of the CW/data
parts of 80/40/15 now allowed to Generals, but at the Novice/Tech Plus power
level) and the present "Novice bands" on 80/40/15 would be opened up to digital
experimentation. Meaning any properly documented mode except analog voice would
be allowed there.

A better idea?

That is a very good idea. If we are ever going to get digital voice
going, we need a playground that doesn't interfere with the rest of the
world. Or I should say it would be a help.


Then there's Hans' (K0HB) two-class upgrade-in-ten-years-or-leave license
concept. Perhaps it's time for that to become a formal proposal. While I don't
agree with all of it, I'd really like to see what reaction and comments it
would generate.

Arrgh, not that one again! ;^)
