de NA4G, "Boat Anchor Bob", an ol' cw fart .....
If I can be of assistance in older equipment, junk-boxing
your way to hamdom, the cheapskate's approach, let me
know.
22 yrs a ham, extra class, mostly cw, mostly boat anchors
and radio in the traditional sense.

CWISTS Friday Night Fist Function
Standard time: Friday Nights at MIDNIGHT LOCAL TIME
Standard freq: 80 meters --- 3702.5 khz for all hands.
40 meters --- 7102.5 khz alternate, for all hands
(between the heterodynes)
(someone scout out a better QRG)
___
Standard calling signal: CWIST IMI DE <yourcall> K (if there
are no control stations calling for
you to check in), or,
CWIST DE <yourcall> K (if there is a
control station inviting checkins)
(The alternative check in for those OTs
with salt behind the ears is a simple
DE to get the control station's ears
followed by DE <yourcall> K when the
control station acknowledges.)
Note: A simple informal net style protocol will generally be
used, unless no control station assumes control for the
evening, in which case it is an open roundtable format
discussion group.
Note: The midnight local time gathering is designed to maximize
the number of checkins spread out over the world, so less
confusion and more checkins are heard. The hope is that
someone will be aboard almost anywhere and be heard at
least locally, anywhere in the world.
Definition: A CWIST is a person with an active interest in the PRACTICE
and USE of continuous wave radiotelegraphy as directly is
applicable to amateur radio. Such PRACTICE and USE may
take the form of learning about radiotelegraphy and its
history in amateur/commercial areas, its application to radio
telecommunication, the practicing of the art and craft of
radiotelegraphy, and the refining and developing of the
technology of radiotelegraphy.
Author of NA4G's National Electrical Code for Hams
ABSTRACT
This work was presented as a talk to the Homebrew Special
Interest Group (HB-SIG) of the Raleigh Amateur Radio Society
(RARS), on 15 January, 1991 and was revised for another
presentation on 26 January, 1994.
This document contains excerpts of the National Electrical
Code (NFPA 70-1990) that, in the author's opinion, apply to
the installation of amateur radio equipment as would
commonly be found in most amateur radio stations. Direct
excerpts from the Code are contained within inset
quotations. Paraphrased excerpts from the Code are
itemized. The author's interpretation and discussion of the
Code is set full-width. The author's interpretation and
discussion of various sections of the Code is not meant to
be all-encompassing, nor the official interpretation of the
National Fire Protection Association, nor of any official
governing body having legal authority of jurisdiction over
electrical installations, but is meant to be used as a
teaching tool for amateur radio operators.

Currently the posting of these articles have been suspended indefinitely
(and will probably be removed from the above sites shortly). New
editors are being actively sought to take over maintenance of the above
resources and keep them from disappearing from the net permanently. As
with any volunteer effort, new volunteers are often needed. We need new
editors to post the above FAQ's. Preferably this should be someone who
has enthusiasm for hobbyist radio, experience with Usenet, and the
ability to work with the other editors. No single person can know all
the various aspects of these diverse hobbies so the editorial review
groups are intended to make a greater combination of experience.
The FAQ's were posted with the AUTO-FAQ software, which is written in
Perl. So it would be a plus for volunteers to post the FAQ to have Perl
installed on their system and be able to use "cron" or "at" so that
postings can go unattended.
Anyone who wants to make their contribution to the Net as a volunteer
should contact me at my E-mail address above.
The rec.radio.amateur.* Working Group Mailing List is now being
maintained by Jack Hill. See his entry for subscription information.

HOW TO ACCESS THE WB3FFV AMATEUR RADIO INTERNET BBS !!!
I have placed a BBS system on-line that is mainly oriented towards the
Amateur Community (but there are plenty of other wares on-line). Through
user support I hope to keep the latest and greatest ham software on-line.
The BBS also offers access to nearly all of the Internet (USENET) NetNews
groups, plus access to most Internet services such as Email, FTP, TELNET,
Gopher, WWW, Callsign Lookup, Etc... Below is the information that is
needed in order to access the BBS via Telephone, Telnet, or FTP. Please
pass it around to as many ham's as possible.
System Name: WB3FFV
User Login: bbs
+1 410 661-2475 - 12/24/48/96/14.4/16.8/19.2/21.6/28.8
(V.32bis,V.32terbo,V.34,V.FC,HST,V.42bis)

(MNP2-5, V.32bis, V.42bis, Turbo-PEP)
TELNET/FTP - telnet://wb3ffv1.sed.csc.com/ (login: bbs)
ftp://wb3ffv1.sed.csc.com/
Data Settings: 8 Bits, NO Parity, 1 Stop Bit
Times: 24hrs/365days (except for routine maintenance)
Software: UniBoard UNIX BBS Software (Version 1.30b)
Misc. Info: Machine is an Pentium-90/MP running UNIX System V Release 4.2
and features more than 4 Gigabytes of on-line file storage.
Most transfer protocols are available!! (5 phone lines)
I attempt to keep the latest and greatest HAM software on-line, and
encourage all to upload anything new that they come up with, as it is
of benefit to all. Here is a sample of the software that is available
for downloading:
KA9Q TCP/IP Software for the PC (Latest OFFICIAL release + TEST Versions)
KA9Q TCP/IP for the Atari-ST, MAC, & Amiga
KA9Q TCP/IP for UNIX based systems
KA9Q TCP/IP (The NOS release) [UNIX, MS/DOS, Amiga]
KA9Q TCP/IP (Version by G1EMM, PE1CHL, PA0GRI, Etc.)
N2GTE Packet Message Switch [GTEPMS]
WA7MBL BBS for the PC
W0RLI BBS for the PC
MSYS BBS for the PC running KISS TNC's
AA4RE BBS for the PC (plus BETA versions)
F6FBB BBS for the PC
G8BPQ PC-Node (Version 4.08)
Various BBS utilities and enhancements
Several MORSE CODE Tutors
TheNet software by NORD><LINK
Modifications for many HAM Rigs and Scanners
Digital Signal Processing software (DSP)
DX and contesting programs
If you are interested in using UUCP to connect to the BBS, this can
also be done as I support Anon-uucp. The login to the system is
'uucpanon', and there is NO password. The listing of available archives
are stored in a file called 'FILES', and it is located in the
/var/spool/uucppublic. To retrieve the files listing just use the
following command:
uucp wb3ffv!~/FILES /usr/spool/uucppublic (ASCII Text)
-or-
uucp wb3ffv!~/FILES.Z /usr/spool/uucppublic (16-Bit Compressed)
-or-
uucp wb3ffv!~/FILES.gz /usr/spool/uucppublic (GNU Gzipped)
This will move a copy of my file listing into your uucppublic
directory.
If you want to access the BBS via Telnet, all you have to do is access:
telnet://wb3ffv1.sed.csc.com/
and login is 'bbs' with no password required.
To use anonymous FTP, just access:
and login as 'anonymous' (may not be necessary, depending on your FTP
client). This system is currently attached to the Internet via a dialup
SLIP link, and should generally be available 24hrs, but at times the
modem will drop the line. Also, since this isn't the fastest link, I
will be limiting the maximum number of anonymous sessions for the
moment.

Author of the QRZ! Ham Radio CDROM. I am interested in receiving
amateur-radio-related public-domain and/or shareware programs, data
files, frequency lists, etc., that would make a useful edition to the
QRZ CDROM. Can help arrange volume discounts for clubs and groups, and
will donate copies of QRZ to qualifying non-profit organizations. Send
E-mail or call +1 602 483-2036.
We now have the QRZ FTP archive and QRZ WWW server online, 24 hours a
day. Our connection is via a T1 line so you should get pretty decent
file transfer times.
We've got about 7,000 files online, including radio mods, software, most
everything imaginable. We are also accepting uploads of all ham radio
related material.
Feel free to stop by and have a look:
ftp://ftp.qrz.com/
http://www.qrz.com/ (WWW interface to the FTP archive as well as a
Callsign database server)
Authors of ham radio shareware programs, data files, mods, etc., are
invited to contribute their materials to the QRZ anonymous ftp server
above.
I would also like to thank those who have volunteered in helping port
the QRZ source code to a wide variety of platforms. In the next
edition, we'll have support for DOS, Windows, OS/2, Windows NT, Sun, NeXT,
SGI, Linux, AIX, and HP/UX executables, directly on the disk.
Notably not mentioned is Macintosh, which so far has been a bit
troublesome to put together. If anyone who can program in 'C' on a
Macintosh would care to volunteer, please let me know. Although there
is an experimental Mac interface at this time, I'd like to make it an
officially-supported platform.
Please pass on any ideas, suggestions, comments, etc., to my E-mail
address above.

Secretary for the Tristate Amateur Packet Association
Treasurer for the Cyclone Amateur Radio Club
A few members of our ham radio club were interested in helping out.
Since our turnover is usually 4 years or so (graduation is a horrible
thing), I thought it may be difficult for us to keep the list up to
date. I thought that by creating a local mailing list called
"elm...@iastate.edu" we could add or remove people as need be. There
would always be at least one person receiving mail on that list,
usually more! Even after I graduate, this list will be maintained
allowing ISU hams to easily help others.
Currently we have people with packet experience, some HF experience,
much repeater experience, in addition to a considerable background in
theory, as many here are electrical engineering or computer engineering
students. If a question can not be answered by the readers of the list,
there are many other local hams that could be prodded for the info.
Our local ham radio club has been especially interested in helping local
disabled hams (or hams to be) get on the air. But anyone local who
needed help would find a group at their door ready to work.

If you need service information for a specific piece of equipment, (and

Maintainer of Linux for Hams CDROM
What Is Linux for Hams?
Linux for Hams is a full-featured Linux system with special additions
for Amateur Radio. The system includes all of the sophisticated
software that one would expect on one of today's engineering
workstations, along with software for packet radio communication,
electronic design, printed-circuit manufacture, a database of FCC rules
and license exams, a code-practice program, and other Amateur Radio
applications.
The general-purpose software includes software for connecting to the
Internet, compilers for the C and C++ languages, a full-featured
typesetting system, a symbolic mathematics program, CD-ROM authoring
tools, and many other programs. Unlike other Amateur Radio software
collections, Linux for Hams is an integrated system. The programs are
already compiled and configured to work together with the rest of the
system.
Linux for Hams is being built by Bruce Perens AB6YM, with the help of
several volunteers. Of course, it builds on the work of the thousands of
volunteers who helped create Linux and the other programs it contains.
The system will be available for free if you download it using FTP. A
low-cost CD will be available, for about $30.
Free CD-ROM Subscription for Volunteers
Most of the software in Linux for Hams is free software, contributed by
its author for anyone to use. I would like to compensate those authors
for their work. If you are the author of a significant piece of software
included in Linux for Hams, please e-mail to Per...@Rahul.net. You may
be be able to get a free CD-ROM subscription to Linux for Hams.
Bruce Perens AB6YM reserves the right to decide who gets free
subscriptions, what is included in a free subscription, and for how long
those subscriptions last.
For more information about Linux for Hams, check out the WWW page:

Secrets for Aspiring ATV'ers is a non technical book, and Volume II is a
300-page technical manual with theory and projects for all equipment
necessary to operate an ATV station. Prices are $9.95 and $24.95 plus
postage ($3.10). Most of your inquires can be answered by either of
these two books.
I am also compiling a set of W6ORG Notes, a regular column in ATVQ,
which answers many of the technical FAQ's on various equipment and
operations. This will be available for $9.95 also.
I can try to answer questions on here, and frequently do, but time is
expensive and limited!

I can help people with HF stuff, cheap antennas, and am willing to help
troubleshoot problems with rigs.
I believe that one of the pillars of ham radio - construction/
understanding at the burn-your-hand-with-a-soldering-iron level - is
drifting out of ham radio. With Japanese radios which cost so much,
fewer and fewer hams are willing to risk their warranty to service their
own equipment. I would like to see a turn-around here...

ARRL Technical Information Service Coordinator (t...@arrl.org)
ARRL Email Information Server SysOp (in...@arrl.org)
The ARRL Technical Information Service (TIS) is a valuable membership
benefit that helps hams find answers to difficult technical questions.
The answer to a ham's most common technical questions can be found in
one of the many books about Amateur Radio. Folks who call or write to
ARRL TIS staff are often referred to one of these books or to a past
magazine article.
However, most hams find that the fastest way to get the answer is to do
their own research. Publication catalogs often talk about what kinds of
information are available in different books. A few good books will
answer the vast majority of questions as well as enhance a ham's
knowledge and enjoyment of this fascinating hobby.
Magazines are also a superb technical reference. An annual index of
articles appears in the December issue of QST and other magazines.
These indexes will usually have an article or two (or six) about a
particular topic. If an older QST or QEX article is not available
locally, the ARRL Technical Department Secretary can provide a copy for
a small fee. Back issues are also available from the QST Circulation
Department.
The ARRL Technical Information Service is a valuable source of
information and research for questions that cannot be answered by other
means. ARRL TIS has information packages and bibliographies that are
available on request to answer most technical questions.
For those who want to know if something has been previously published on
a particular subject, TIS can also assist with research to locate this
information. TIS also helps locate companies that sell hard to find
parts or supplies used in our hobby.
Many amateur radio informational documents are also available from the
ARRL Email Information Server (or Info-Server for short). To find out
how to use the Info-Server, send E-mail to in...@arrl.org with any
subject (it is ignored) and the following text in the body of the
message:

This message does not constitute any official or unofficial statement or
policy of American Turnkey or any other organization, corporation or
institution.
I just upgraded to Advanced, and am now working on Extra. Was first
licensed about ten months ago.
What I've learned:
1) How to operate HF from your apartment without being evicted
2) How to pass tests, both written and code
3) How to make a virtue out of the necessity of your limited equipment,
and enjoy the process while doing it
I operate CW HF exclusively. The only time I get to operate is when the
baby is asleep, so the XYL demands silent running. Besides, with my
wimpy wire, there is little point in trying to run voice.

AMSAT-NA (the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation in North America)
operates the Internet host AMSAT.ORG to provide for efficient
communications between people interested in the amateur satellite
program. At this time two services are provided: a message remailing
service and a mailing list service.
In addition, the AMSAT World-Wide Web home page provides interactive
access to a variety of information related to the amateur radio
satellite program. Use your Web browser program (e.g., Mosaic) to
access the URL:
http://www.amsat.org/amsat/AmsatHome.html
Anonymous FTP is available from:
This archive contains much of the same information as the WWW server.
In addition, various files and programs are available for anonymous
FTP. This is a relatively new archive, so the older FTP site:
still has lots of files not available there.
The message remailing service permits users to send each other mail
on the Internet without keeping track of each other's Internet
address. The remailing service allows each user to receive mail sent
to the address call...@amsat.org, where callsign is that user's
amateur radio callsign, or other unique identifier. Mail sent to
that address will be routed first to the AMSAT.ORG host at UCSD in
San Diego, then remailed from AMSAT.ORG to the network address
specified by the user. In most cases, this process delays the
message by only a very few minutes.
The mailing list service groups subscribers into mailing lists to
receive certain types of messages. There are public mailing lists
available to anyone, and private mailing lists available only to
certain people (for example, AMSAT Board of Directors members or
PACSAT command stations). Currently the following public mailing
lists exist:
ANS AMSAT News Service
This mailing list carries official news releases from
the AMSAT News Service. These messages are posted in
a form suitable for direct posting to a packet radio
BBS system. Each message contains a Bulletin Identifier
(BID), which permits the message to be introduced into
the packet network at many places without resulting in
duplicate bulletins at any BBS. The primary purpose of
this mailing list is to distribute ANS bulletins for
redistribution (via the packet net or on AMSAT voice
nets), but individuals may also subscribe for their own
use. If your local packet BBS doesn't seem to get the
ANS bulletins reliably, you are encouraged to post the
ANS bulletins yourself.
Only authorized AMSAT News Service personnel should
send messages to the ANS mailing list.
AMSAT-BB AMSAT bulletin board
This mailing list carries general AMSAT information.
This information may NOT be suitable in content for
transmission via amateur radio, so automatic reposting
of AMSAT-BB messages to packet radio BBS's is discouraged.
The purpose of this mailing list is to provide a forum
for general discussion of any satellite-related topic.
Anyone may send messages to the AMSAT-BB mailing list.
Simply address your message to amsa...@amsat.org, and
it will be automatically forwarded to all subscribers
to the AMSAT-BB mailing list.
Editors of publications should ask permission of the
sender before publishing anything seen in AMSAT-BB
elsewhere, unless the posting was obviously a public
press release. However, posters should realize that
anything posted to AMSAT-BB is essentially public.
KEPS Keplerian Elements mailing list
This mailing list carries official postings of Keplerian
element sets for satellites of interest to radio amateurs.
Like the ANS bulletins, these messages are posted in a
form suitable for direct posting to a packet radio BBS.
Only authorized AMSAT News Service personnel should
send messages to the KEPS mailing list.
NASAINFO NASA related information mailing list
This mailing list contains information about current
and planned NASA space missions. Be forewarned: at times
this mailing list delivers many large messages.
SAREX Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment mailing list
This mailing list contains information and press releases
pertaining to SAREX missions.
To obtain any of these services, just send a message to the address
This address may be reached from CompuServe MAIL as:
For the moment, the maintenance of the AMSAT.ORG mailing lists and
remailing aliases is done manually. Later, this service will
probably be automated and you will have to follow a strict message
format. For now, you may send requests in free format. They will
usually be processed within a few days. In general, you will not
receive an explicit reply to your request. Be sure you specify:
1. Which mailing list(s) you want to receive
2. Your callsign, if any
3. The Internet address to be used, if different from the
one in your From: header.
You should not send messages about your subscriptions to any of the
mailing lists. Send them to list...@amsat.org instead. This
includes questions, requests for changes, requests for information
about mailing services, and complaints.
The list of amateurs who may be reached via the message remailing
service may be obtained by requesting the "address book". Note that
the address book as distributed contains only the callsigns of the
available addressees, not their actual Internet addresses. The address
book is updated occasionally, and does not necessarily contain the very
latest information.
You may request to be added to the list, to be deleted from the list,
or to have your Internet address changed on the list. Please include
your callsign if you have one. If you don't have a callsign, that's
OK, but please say so. If you have more than one Internet address
you want to have available on the AMSAT.ORG remailer, you may so
specify. For instance, if you have a regular Internet address and a
CompuServe account, you may appear in the address book as both w1xyz
and w1xyz-cis. Mail sent to w1xyz would go to your Internet address,
and mail sent to w1xyz-cis would go to CompuServe. MCImail accounts
have the form w1xyz-mci, and so on.
You may also subscribe or unsubscribe to any of the public mailing
lists described above. Send a message to list...@amsat.org,
specifying clearly which mailing list(s) you want to add or drop, and
giving your callsign if you have one. When you subscribe to a
mailing list, you will automatically be added to the remailing
service as well, because the mailing lists are maintained by
callsign. If you have more than one address listed in the remailing
service, please indicate which one(s) you want the mailing list
messages sent to.
Additional mailing lists, public or private, can be set up as needed.
Send mail to list...@amsat.org for details.
Questions about any service offered by AMSAT.ORG may be directed to
list...@amsat.org as well.
Please note that the AMSAT business office is separate from mailing
list maintenance. You may address membership requests to
mar...@amsat.org, or send them by mail, phone, or fax to AMSAT
