[AMRadio] 29.000kc Broadcast stn.

2003-01-01 Thread k0pjg
GM ,

Broadcast stn has been on many times before.  I have called it in es folks @ 
ARRL have heard it.  Anyone else hear the stn ? Sounds like a Slavik language 
most times.  This morning though it is a SSB es speaking Italian ?  Up to S-4-5 
at times. Begins around 1330 es is still there now.
I did hear a carrier on 29.008kc this AM.  S-6 or so for abt ten min., but 
nothing said.  I think Band is open to EU.

[AMRadio] Support the ARRL

2002-11-20 Thread K0PJG
If you folks read QRZ.COM  under Talk es Opinions, you know very well I do not 
agree with what the ARRL has been/has not been doing.  
If more folks were Members, I feel there would be a stronger  voice from the 
Ranks. 
If you feel very strongly that ARRL is beyond hope, then we need a new  ARRL 
Board that better represents the Rank es File. They are just folks like us. 
Most of the Staff even are licensed Hams. 
I grew up in Hamdom believing the Arrl was our only defense against loosing our 
privledges.  I still do. 
Perhaps new blood would help?  I don't know. 
I do know they need to put their ears to the ground es listen to the Members 
better.
Turning away from the ARRL will not help. Not renewing your subscription will 
not help.  
Being an active Member es stating your views may/will get the job done. Not 
Voting, as Don says, NEVER HELPS.

Subject: [AMRadio] In Defense Of The ARRL


The ARRL is the only organized and funded voice that we have. All the
arguments below sound just like this one: "I don't vote because all
politicians are bad." Well if you don't vote--or in this case, if you choose
not to support the ARRL, then you are assuredly getting what you deserve.

The management of spectrum and the technologies that use that spectrum are
continuously changing. For better or worse is a judgment call--change is the
only certainly.

If we want to protect what we have--if ham radio is to survive--then we MUST
have the ARRL or something like it. Example: All TV broadcast stations have
to go digital by 2007. Why not all ham stations? Are we next? If so, you can
forget AM--and sideband too!

If you believe in and love democracy, then by heaven please vote. If you
believe in and love ham radio, then for heaven's sake please support the
ARRL. To paraphrase Mr. Churchill, the ARRL is the worst form of a ham
organization--except that we have no other.

Unfortunately it seems all too accurate IMHO. I've tried to discuss with
some of
the eastern ARRL bigwigs the 'real' problems with attracting new blood to
amateur radio - like the lack of a challenge or the lack of any feelling of
accomplishment or something to be proud of working towards. They'd rather
blame
the internet and cellphones for it all, and instead dumb down the current
requirements even more if it will entice more newbies who'll buy
subscriptions
and new gear from their advertizers. Their actions seem to contradict their
talk
about 'saving ham radio', because encouraging the basics and *any* mode
allowed
never seems to be the goal. Instead, they encourage what will sell magazines
and
more Yaecomewood disposable radios. I still remember the look in Mr. ARRL's
eye
when he said "we need to make it easier for people to become hams" and I
said
"why not make it something worth acheiving, instead of a hand out that is
easily
tossed away when no effort was expended to earn it?". Then I had to gall to
mention AM as well as adding some articles to QST for a simple tube CW
transmitter or such. If he'd rolled his eyes any harder, I think they'd have
taken flight!

Some point out the the ARRL has taken more of an interest in AM and vintage
gear
as of late. My response is 'why did they ever lose interest?'. If they've
done
anything at all, it hasn't been freely or happily, more grudgingly. Enough
people want to know about 'real radio' and how it works that they've been
forced
to do something or lose any remaining credibility. When you look at all
they've
done (or not done) in the past, it's difficult to see their more recent
attention as sincere.

What is the figure hams who are members? Something like 25%? That in itself
says
a lot right there. You'd think they'd embrace ALL aspects of amateur radio
and
do EVERYTHING they could to please all users without having to do one at the
expense of another. They seem content though to push books and sell
advertising,
which is why so many refer to them as the Amateur Radio Retail Lobby. A $10
million plus publishing house, basically.

What do you think the chances are of the ARRL sponsoring an AM contest some
weekend? Or a vintage gear event? As good as an AM WAS endorsement, or as
bad?
It's amazing how some consider AM operation to be a waste, yet have no
problem
with contester

[AMRadio] ARRL may file Petition for Rulemaking against enhanced audio

2002-08-29 Thread K0PJG
More thoughts on this issue from e mail sent to me this morning - name with
held;

ARRL may file Petition for Rulemaking against enhanced audio

If you are among the enthusiasts for improved audio quality on the shortwave
ham bands, you should know that the League's Board of Directors in July
accepted a resolution to pursue with the Federal Communications Commission
the
idea of using bandwidth rather than mode to determine the placement of
operating activities.

Although the resolution was in the context of finding a place for digital
communications technologies, chances are good that a bandwidth-defined
protocol could directly affect your ability to continue using enhanced audio
on the HF bands.

If the proposal fails to include adequate specifications to allow the option
of improved transmitted quality for traditional analog voice signals, it
could
render useless much of the labor and equipment you and others may have spent
in the interest of achieving human-sounding communications as a specialty in
the hobby.

Please consider emailing your region's director and vice-director to
discourage them from supporting such a Petition, should it ever come to
fruition. I encourage you to act early to preclude rather than have to later
defend against any formal proposal reaching federal regulators.

The FCC in 1976 developed a similar bandwidth proposal as part of Docket
20777. It failed to win popular support, and was voted down by the
Commission
in 1977. The League has indicated no willingness to examine why the proposal
was unsuccessful, but the fact remains 25 years later: Operating
coordination,
not technical constraint, is the best way to share our allocations among all
the modes and activities we enjoy.

Your thoughts need to be sent to ARRL es the FCC about these important
matters NOW....

Illegal CB Ops es the proliferation of Illegal equipment 
has not deminished one iota since the last round of discussions Ref: Illegal CB 
Ops in MX es US Truckers.
If anything, sales have not been better for the equipment 
in use through out North America es MX.
I am going to mention a few sites where anyone may purchase 
equipment targeted for the express use of Illegal CB operations es promoting 
Illegal Ops;

http://www.cbrelectronics.com/keydowns.html
http://www.paceradios.com/cart/connex_10_meter_.html
http://hitmanpa118.hypermart.net/channelchart.htm
http://www.cbcintl.com/, Do not miss this one, it gives you 
your Freq charts to operate with (
There are many more...

A few comments from Hams Ref: above sites;

#1 ( Name withheld by author's request )

It's worse than you think!

In the last few years, a new type of CB activity has become 
very popular - the "Keydown Superbowl".
A group, or club of CB'ers will organize a meet where the 
participants get together to compete over who has the biggest linear, with the 
most power.
Amps with power levels of anywhere from 10 KW to even 50KW 
are operated,
(often into ruggedized vertical antennas).

To generate the DC required for these amps, several 72 volt 
railroad alternators are daisy-chained together under the hoods of trucks 
(Chevy Suburbans are popular). 7 alternator power plants are not uncommon. The 
DC
goes to large DC regulators, and then to the amps, mostly 
solid state, but occasionally tube amps are used too.  The solid state amps are 
typically multiple "pill" amps - "12 pill",  "24 pill", up to "128" pill or 
more.
Most of the amps are custom built by specialty shops, who 
advertise on the web, or at select CB shops.

The favorite channel is 27.025, the "superbowl" channel.  
The winner gets a trophy, and sometimes some cash.  Veterans of such 
skill-testing competitions, like to show off large pickle jars filled with 
"dead pills",
the blown finals of their own, and competitor's amps.

Some of the more technically talented prefer tube-type 
amps, with large broadcast tubes the preferred device. 3CX3000F1, and similar 
are quite popular, in pairs or quads. The amps often occupy most of the cargo 
space in
the vehicles, shared with the requisite extra batteries.

So, the next time you wonder why the CB band is always 
open, while 10M isn't, consider that these people have the means to make their 
own propagation!  The other issue is not the spectrum polution, from these
wickedly dirty often Class-C amps, but from the RF fields 
produced during the competition!  Never mind FCC enforcement, maybe the EPA 
should get involved!

#2 ( Name withheld by Author's request )

If you want to get a shock, do a serach on the phrase "10 
meter" radios". 
These are targeted and being sold to CB'ers, and they all 
operate well above 
28 mHz. Just one example, (check out the rebel flag)

http://www.paceradios.com/cart/connex_10_meter_.html

Then take a look at this "CB channel chart". 29.655 is 
listed as "channel 40, 
band D"!!!..

[AMRadio] Fw: Minute 64 adopted at the most recent ARRL Board of Directors meeting on ...

2002-08-15 Thread K0PJG
Hello Dale,

Will I am not one to shy away from standing up for AM, but read the response 
from our ARRL Pres. ;

Have they just not been specific enough on Minute 64 or is there something 
afoot Watson ?

  "The ARRL is petitioning the FCC to regulate subbands by bandwidth. 



1.  First off, we do not have a petition. 

2.  You can't work phone in the subbands now. 

3.  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. Presently our technical team is looking at what frame work is needed to 
accomplish the new modes. 

I hope this helps and if you would pass it on so as to quell the fears of the 
AM'ers.
