Re: [AMRadio] Seeking advice on wires in trees
When you put the pulley up at the top of pine tree make sure it is a good quality one and test the uphaul line on it to make sure that everything is sized right and the line under load can't jam between the pulley sheave and the pulley housing. I've found that the antenna system if tethered high enough in the pine does not need springs or weights on the end of uphauls. The springiness in the top of the pine will take up the peak forces.

Re: [AMRadio] Fw: GB 40m SWBC QRM to end 3/29/09... why isnt thisbeing hyped?
Minor correction on the attached: The SW broadcasters are due to vacate 7100-7200 kHz by Mar 29, 2009. Hopefully many amateur AM stations will fire up on this band segment on Mar 29 to celebrate. Generals can use 7175 kHz and up, Advanced and Extra 7125 kHz and up. This is the first time in 70 years this frequency segment will be exclusively amateur radio 24 hours a day! DX stations who formerly had to work western hemisphere stations split from 7000-7100 kHz, if not already under temporary authorization, will soon be authorized to operate on 7100-7200 kHz as well. Here's hoping all the broadcasters comply.

As decided by WRC-03, we get the upper part of 40 meters back this month, world-wide! It almost seems like very few want this information disseminated, I almost fell out of my chair after bringing in the latest issue of ER in from the mailbox. I thought it was NEXT year. Nothing to be found on the ARRL site, except an editorial back in 2000 proposing the return of the upper part of the band. For every two things they do right, it always seems they develop a bad case of cephalo-posterioritis on something else, and a lot of the reporting is a day late and a dollar short. I then spent some time looking through AMfone.net, but they don't seem to be discussing it either. Makes me wonder if the saying about fone-only operators might be at least partially true: Without CW, its just CB. ;) And maybe they're just fine sitting on one frequency on a band that usually goes flat by 10pm. The only place I found on the net that has it straight and out in the open is Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/40_meters I don't get it...

Re: [AMRadio] Re:SPAM
Good summary of SPAM / AMI history. A couple of additional notes. The creation of AM International (with the AMI name resurrected from an earlier defunct AM group) was entered into only reluctantly. After SPAM went inactive, numerous attempts to offer support and assistance to the last SPAM president were ignored. Don - K4KYV, David - W6PSS, Barry - N6CSW (ER's founder), myself and others felt it was a critical time to have a national AM organizational voice, and jointly agreed on its form and mission. One of the last official acts of SPAM before it went silent was to petition the FCC to allow AM stations to double their historic power level, equivalent to about 6000 watts PEP output at 100% modulation. This occurred early in the 1990s when the 10 year AM input power measurement grandfather period was ending. At that time all AM transmitters would have to stay within the new 1500 watt PEP output provision. The SPAM petition was considered along with one that I had submitted to change from the old one KW input power measurement to the roughly equivalent output power measurement of 3000 watt PEP at 100% modulation. The ARRL also submitted a petition requesting continuation of the historic AM power level by continuing to grandfather the old measurement technique. The fourth petition considered at the same time was not in the form of a petition, but a half page letter from an amateur requesting removal of the AM mode from amateur bands. Happily, the latter request was not successful and the FCC made a fairly strong statement about AM and its place in amateur radio. Unfortunately, the FCC denied the continuation of AM historic power levels in several petition and petition reconsideration actions. And, it always mentioned in a snide way that the AM community was even asking to double their power level, which was the position of the obscure SPAM petition. I agree with Don that Internet based AM interest communities are now the effective watchdog for AM. But, AMI is alive and has a roll, more in the Hoisy and Floyd tradition, providing an organizational framework and materials to support regional AM promotion and club activities. - Original Message - From: D.

But eventually the guy in CA got everything and began running SPAM. He hit the ground running and for a few months it looked like he was going be even more actively involved than Floyd. But he turned out to be a real flash in the pan. He abruptly dropped from sight. No-one was ever able to contact him to learn what happened. Ads for SPAM membership continued to run in CQ magazine for a couple of years. I don't think anyone ever solved the mystery. A few years later, Dale KW1I resurrected AMI (AM International) to take its place.

[AMRadio] Fw: Manual / Schematic Needed - Sunair ASB-125/60
Need to consult a Sunair ASB125/60 service manual. I believe this was a six channel HF radio used in aviation applications in the 1970s. Apparently most of this radio's circuits are the same as the Coast Guard PRC-108 HF back pack made by Sunair. The PRC-108 was picked up at the Dayton Hamvention and will be modified for a few ham frequencies. Unfortunately, custom L and C components were installed for each channel depending on the channel frequencies ordered with the unit. The manual apparently has the tables of what components were used by frequency range. Any help will be appreciated. Dale KW1I

It sort of a squatty cube about 1 foot on side and about a foot and a half in height. It has a big fan in the top cover. There are two lamps, a breaker doubles as a power switch and there is also power connector the same as that on the transmitter. I have never seen another one. It was made just for the ART13. It contains the filament, LV HV supplies. When I got it the filament supply was shorted and all the electrolytics were bad. I replaced the filament transformer with a 19 VAC and full waved the output into a big cap ( 50K ufd or something.) I removed the 4 mercuty arc tubes and replaced them with SS rectifiers. Finally, the electrolytics were removed and replaced with a bunch of 430 ufd @ 250 shunted by 40K equalization resisitors. Everything else is intact. You turn on the switch and the big green light lights up. Wait about 45 seconds and the relay used to delay the plate for the mercury tubes kicks in and the red lamp and HV supplies come up. The transmitter is ready for service. Like I said, I have never seen another one of these power supplies.

Then someone got the brilliant idea of moving it to the 4th weekend in April, and it rained practically every year. So they moved it to May to escape the rain and cold, and although there have been a couple of rain-free events, weather still seems to be a problem. Apparently, the 3rd weekend in April by some quirk of nature turns out to usually be dry in that little corner of the world. After they moved it to the 4th weekend, I used to ask locals what the weather was like the week before, and inevitabley they would respond that the weather was fine then; that would have been a good weekend to have had the hamfest. Of course that third weekend would sometimes be cold, and I have seen snow, but the fleamarket rarely shut down. I recall one year in their brochure they mentioned that in 22 years the hamfest had been rained out only twice.

What we are interested in is two new modes of digital. Clover 2000 and Pactor 3. 4. Under the present rules, 300 baud RTTY is the signal width standard. Clover 2000 and Pactor 3 are a bit wider. It is felt that by being able to accommodate these two new technologies, amateur radio would be in compliance with its charge under part 97 to promote and enhance the art 5.
