It referenceses something more useful than YouTube, too.

excerpt:
Any use permit for a ham radio antenna shall include a condition that
it shall be inspected annually to certify its safety and to verify that
liability
insurance is in effect and also that the ham radio equipment may be
inspected
without prior notice upon the receipt by the City of a complaint that the
radio
operation is causing interference with neighbors electronic devices due to
the
use of higher wattage than allowed by the FCC. The City shall provide this
inspection service at applicantÂ’s cost. Permittees shall pay an annual
inspection
fee adopted by Resolution of the City Council in an amount sufficient to
reimburse the City for an inspector qualified to inspect amateur radio
equipment.

What this has to do with digital modes, however, I can't say!

Re: [digitalradio] City attempts to shut down ham radio .... !!

2009-07-11 Thread Skip Taylor
I can't find that link. I know there was to be an amassing of local
hams at their meeting last night. The city council was apparently
intending to 'brute force' this onto their agenda and bury it.

I've not heard anything from anyone locally yet.  I'll pass it along
as soon as I can.

Their ordinance is not a joke, unfortunately it's real. The local
governments here feel they are above the law and are out to prove it
for some reason.  Another nearby city (Lancaster) has implemented a
$500 fine if you have weeds in your yard or haven't mowed it in a
while from what I've been told.

Re: [digitalradio] Get more out of digital with RISD

2009-07-11 Thread Phil Williams
My experience with RSID over the past 24 hours has been very positive.

I see many more stations using RSID and would assume this has much to do
with the recent release of DRM 780.  I take it that RSID is enabled by
default.  Please correct me if am wrong on this as I don't run DRM 780.

I have made it point to use RSID any time I am using a mode other that PSK31
or RTTY.  I use fldigi which sends the RSID both in the beginning and at the
end of a transmission.  Additionally, I used the RSID detection feature of
fldigi and I did not encounter any issues to date.  The RSID feature seems
to work as advertised.

I would say that 90 percent of the QSOs that I have had over the past 24
hours were with stations who were experiencing mode such as DominoEX for the
first time and this was aided by the RSID feature.  RSID just worked for
them.  I am sure you all  will agree that when using a new mode for the
first time, it is important that the experience be a positive one - success
drives enthusiasm.

For any station that I worked that was using RSID when calling CQ, I pointed
it out to them that this was how I figured out what mode they were running
and thanked them for using RSID.  This had two effects.  One, was that they
may have not known they were using RSID or two, they were not sure of RSID
was working or not.  Either way it was a positive reinforcement on the use
of the RSID feature.

[digitalradio] QST article about RS-ID

2009-07-11 Thread Andy obrien
I have composed article for Steve Ford at ARRL/QST about RS-ID.  Due
to the heavy load at QST ( many feature articles in the pipe-line )
and advice from Steve, I wrote the article for inclusion in his
column, Eclectic Technology.  This limits the submission to 700 words.
 Accordingly, I have focused on the utility of RS-ID rather than the
technical details.  The article will reference additional reading on
the  technical details and also provides reference to current
applications that implemented RS-ID.  Am I correct in listing the
following

Pocketdigi
Multipsk
Fldigi
DM780

Did I miss any applications ?


Acknowledgement is given to Patrick for his pioneering  work, and
Vojtech, Dave/Skip, and Simon for their collaboration.  I will also
reference Tony's you tube video and include some pictures for Steve to
consider.

The  article should meet the August 1st deadline for November QST.

That's very encouraging; I'd love to see the five volumes of
administrative record. In fact, I'll host it on my website if some kind
soul will find it, scan it, and make the softcopy available to me.

I had expected that the judge in any appeal would view PRB-1 and any
state statute (section 65680.3 of the Government Code, in this instance)
as supporting the ham in the action, and this judge did exactly that,
which is good. He put the cherry on top, though, by declaring the City
Council decision to be an abuse of discretion and by noting that the
City's brief is based on local ordinances with only a passing reference
to the statute. That's a pretty good slap on the sensitive parts for the
Council and their attorney, who *REALLY* should have known better. 

Now, when's MixW going to get code to support RSID? Many's the time I've
found myself fishing for the right settings in Olivia or some other
digimode.

I've converted that to the 2210Hz tones centre that the PK232
