Amateur Radio: Elmers List Info and Administrivia
Paul W Schleck KD3FU
Archive-name: radio/ham-radio/elmers/admin
Revision: 1.10 10/30/94 22:07:48
Changes: Uniform Resource Locators (URL's) now used throughout
This administrivia file and the companion Amateur Radio Elmers Resource
Directory are intended for non-commercial distribution via Usenet. Any
other uses, please E-mail for permission.
[Special note: My E-mail addresses have changed, reflecting a move to
Greater Omaha Public Access Unix, which was motivated by a desire to
seek a stable site for the Elmers List for some time to come. See my
signature below for the new addresses. My old E-mail addresses, at the
University of Nebraska at Omaha, will probably work for the foreseeable
future, but are not guaranteed.]
In order to standardize the Internet resource notation used in this
Directory, I've decided to adopt Uniform Resource Locator (URL) format
throughout. In addition to being a straightforward, human-readable,
format for specifying File Transfer Protocol (FTP) archives, Gopher
and World-Wide Web (WWW) servers, and Usenet newsgroups, it is also
amenable to formatting as hypertext links in Hypertext Markup Language
(HTML). For example, users viewing this document at the Ohio State
World-Wide Web Server (see "How may I obtain the latest copy of the
Elmers List?" below) will see all URL's converted to hypertext links
on their WWW client. Rather than fumbling with the various
conventions of FTP, Gopher, WWW, and Usenet News software, the
document or directory referenced by a hypertext link is but one mouse-
click (or key-click) away.
Scott Ehrlich has graciously agreed to be a WWW Elmer and provide
further information about how to obtain and use WWW client software
such as Lynx and Mosaic (see his entry). While I'm happy to
incorporate the latest and most popular information-formatting
standards into the documents that I maintain, I really can't allow
myself to be dragged into the role of a WWW help-desk for all of the
Internet. Please understand this when I politely refer you to other
Elmers, easily-obtainable on-line documentation, or even local
expertise such as resident gurus, consultants, or help-desks at your
school, company, or information service provider.
I expect there to be a bit of controversy regarding my adoption of
this somewhat radical new standard, especially to many users who can't
or won't use WWW. Those users should be assured that I wouldn't have
adopted a standard unless it was easily human-readable by those
accessing this document as straight ASCII (which is one of the main
reasons why the entire Elmers list isn't HTML, MIME, MMDF, or
one of many other competing, mostly non-compatible, information
formats). The URL format is easily mapped into human FTP, Telnet,
Gopher, and Usenet News reader commands. For example:
ftp://ftp.cs.buffalo.edu/pub/ham-radio/README
Anonymous FTP to ftp.cs.buffalo.edu and get the file README under
the /pub/ham-radio directory.
gopher://oes1.oes.ca.gov:5555/
Access the Gopher root page at oes1.oes.ca.gov via non-standard port
5555 (if the standard Gopher port of 70 was used, the ":5555" part
would be replaced by ":70" or most likely not appear at all).
telnet://callsign.cs.buffalo.edu:2000/
Initiate a Telnet (remote terminal) session with
callsign.cs.buffalo.edu via non-standard port 2000 (if the standard
Telnet port of 23 was used, the ":2000" part would be replaced by
":23" or most likely not appear at all).
news:rec.radio.info
Access the rec.radio.info newsgroup on your Usenet newsreader from
your local news server.
URL's that start with:
http:
Are only accessible via WWW client software (which is why almost all
http: URL's in this directory also have corresponding ftp: or gopher:
URL's).
For more information about URL formats, see:
http://www.cc.ukans.edu/lynx_help/URL_guide.html
ftp://nis.nsf.net/documents/rfc/rfc1630.txt
http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Addressing/URL/URI_Overview.html
Disclaimer: While I have personally confirmed the accuracy of all
URL's through the Lynx WWW client, any referenced documents external
to this document are subject to future changes beyond my control. In
addition, with networks and their administration being what it is,
many services with up-to-date URL's may be temporarily unreachable.
Please consult with your local gurus, consulting staff, or help-desk
to confirm that it's a non-local problem, then ask the Elmer him or
herself (me in the case of URL's which appear outside of individual
entries). The currency and accuracy of URL's should be at least no
worse than that of the Elmers entries themselves (which are each
individually confirmed by me every 2 years, and updated within 1 month
on request of the Elmer).
A Brief Historical Overview:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If there is any one constant in the changing state of the communications
art, it is that "Hams" (Amateur Radio Operators) have always been on
the forefront of it. Rumors abound where the term "Ham" came from.
Some of the more amusing are described in the list of Frequently Asked
Questions for this newsgroup.
Regardless of origin of the name, a "Ham" is universally recognizable as
one who experiments in radio and communications.
Whether it be constructing a low-power CW radio with vacuum tubes, or
designing TCP/IP packet networks, such experimentation has historically
spilled over into the mainstream such as was the case with Howard
Armstrong, who developed the regenerative oscillator and FM radio, or
General Curtis LeMay (W6EZV) who was instrumental in making Single-
Sideband the communications standard for the Strategic Air Command
(1947-1992, now reorganized into a joint command called USSTRATCOM) and
eventually the U.S. Air Force. Although packet-switching techniques
originated from DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and
the ARPANet, no one can deny the tremendous influence that amateurs
have had in demonstrating the viability of TCP/IP and AX.25
communications via radio links. The efforts of AMSAT (the Amateur
Satellite Corporation), including the development of many ham satellites
and the low-orbiting Microsats (communications satellites no bigger than
a breadbox that use store-and forward packet techniques), have certainly
advanced the state-of-the-art in communications, one of the defined
purposes of the Amateur Radio Service, as recognized by international
treaty.
Since in many cases hams are writing "the book", there is often no
"book" or other established reference for a beginner to refer to.
Traditionally, information has been passed on from ham to ham via word-
of-mouth. Like many of the traditional crafts, a variation of the
Master-Apprentice system has emerged, the Elmer-Novice relationship.
Called "Elmers" because they are usually older and wiser, having the
benefit of many years in the hobby, including several failed projects,
and an electric shock or two, they have traditionally been the mainstay
of amateur radio, and the source of many new hams, particularly those
interested in working on emerging technologies.
Even more importantly, Elmers provided an outlet for the impatient
newcomer who wanted "to know everything, and right away." Faced with
such a request, a good Elmer will smile and proceed to lead the novice
through some project or operating experience. Several hours, days, or
weeks later, the novice would have his answers, but would have earned
them. Even better, the sense of accomplishment would boost the novice's
confidence and nudge him or her down the road to being a model,
experienced ham operator.
Many present hams feel that such an experience is missing today. In
today's hustle-bustle world, the response to such natural curiosity and
desire to learn is, more often than not, "I'm too busy" or "RTFM." As a
result, the quality of new hams declines and the knowledge and operating
habits they develop in their first formative months and years leave much
to be desired. And the very same hams who claim that they "can't
understand the new generation" also, in almost the same breath, lament
about the "decline of amateur radio."
What is an Elmer today?
+++++++++++++++++++++++
An Elmer today is of any age, male or female, who has some expertise and
is willing to share it with beginners. Elmers don't even need to be
licensed amateurs, just people with knowledge in some area of
electronics or communications technology.
What is a Usenet Elmer?
+++++++++++++++++++++++
With the ever-widening scope of the Internet, and the amateur radio
newsgroups on Usenet, the potential for Elmers to share their
knowledge to a wide audience has never been greater. To that end, I
have started to maintain a list of such Elmers. Volunteers need only
send me their name, E-mail address, and area of expertise. I have set
up an administrivia mailbox for this purpose (elmers-request@
gonix.com, the default Reply-To: of this message).
Those desiring a more extensive list, or who need more specific
assistance, are encouraged to contact Rosalie White, WA1STO, Educational
Services Manager at the American Radio Relay League, 225 Main St.,
Newington, CT 06111 or via electronic mail addressed to
rwh...@arrl.org.
How may I obtain the latest copy of the Elmers List?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There are currently 7 ways of obtaining the Elmers List. Any site
at least reachable by Internet E-mail can use options 3 or 4:
1. Usenet News: The latest copy of the list can be found in the
companion postings to this message, "Amateur Radio: Elmers Resource
Directory [A-M]" and "Amateur Radio Elmers Resource Directory [N-Z]."
Since the list is cross-posted to the following newsgroups:
news:rec.radio.amateur.misc
news:rec.radio.info
news:rec.answers
news:news.answers
on the 1st of each month, with an expiration date 6 weeks into the
future, there should always be a copy available at most news sites.
Check your newsreader documentation for information about reading
previously-read articles or articles that are "threaded" to this one.
Also complain to your local news administrator (E-mail to "news" or
"usenet" on your local host) if your local news server is configured
to ignore Expires headers (and thus prematurely delete the articles)
in worthwhile, mostly moderated, information newsgroups like those
listed above.
2. Anonymous FTP: If your site is directly connected to the Internet,
you may retrieve the latest copy via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) from
the following sites:
ftp://ftp.cs.buffalo.edu/pub/ham-radio/
ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/radio/ham-radio/elmers/
3. Mailing-List: Since the list is cross-posted to rec.radio.info, the
latest copy may be obtained from the mailing-list gateway for that
newsgroup (along with many other informational articles about radio)
when it is published each month. To subscribe, send E-mail to:
and in the BODY (not the Subject) of the message, write:
subscribe radio-info
The server may not be able to determine your return address. In that
case write:
subscribe radio-info (your E-mail address)
You should get an acknowledgement very shortly.
4. Mail-Server: If you don't want to read through the entire gateway
of rec.radio.info, or want a copy of the list right away, send E-mail
to:
and in the BODY (not the Subject) of the message, write:
send usenet/news.answers/radio/ham-radio/elmers/admin
send usenet/news.answers/radio/ham-radio/elmers/index
send usenet/news.answers/radio/ham-radio/elmers/list/a-m
send usenet/news.answers/radio/ham-radio/elmers/list/n-z
send usenet/news.answers/radio/ham-radio/elmers/diff
and the latest copy of the list should be sent to you E-mail within 24
hours (the mail-server uses batch priority to reduce system demand).
The last three services are experimental. I'm not terribly familiar
with them, and cannot offer much technical support regarding their use.
(I'd appreciate feedback on whether or not you find them useful,
though.)
5. Internet Gopher: The latest copy of the list should be available
from the following Gopher sites:
gopher://cc1.kuleuven.ac.be/
gopher://jupiter.sun.csd.unb.ca/
gopher://gopher.univ-lyon1.fr/
gopher://ftp.win.tue.nl/
gopher://gopher.win.tue.nl/
see also news:comp.infosystems.gopher
6. World-Wide Web (WWW): The latest copy of the list should be available
from the following WWW site:
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/radio/ham-radio/elmers
The advantage of reading the Elmers list at this site via WWW client
software is that all URL's are converted to hypertext links.
see also:
news:comp.infosystems.www.misc
news:comp.infosystems.www.providers
news:comp.infosystems.www.users
7. Wide-Area Information Service (WAIS): The latest copy of the list
should be available from the WAIS server at:
wais://rtfm.mit.edu/usenet
see also news:comp.infosystems.wais

My primary interests are in packet radio network building (particularly
higher speed stuff) and TCP/IP. I've got quite a lot of info on using
the Kantronics D4-10 19.2kB radios, as that's the hardware we've been
struggling with here.
TAPR (Tuscon Amateur Packet Radio) has formed a special interest group
to discuss issues of regional packet networking (Net-SIG). As a result,
the TAPR net-sig mailing list was born, and is now ready for operation.
This list is <not> intended to replace any of the existing packet-related
mailing lists. Its purpose is provide a medium for communications among
those interested in packet radio networking, both dealing with technical
issues and political/regulatory ones. We'll discuss things like how the
potential 219MHz band will fit into the networking picture, how to link
areas using different networking schemes, how to set network parameters,
etc. The list's charter will be posted there regularly.
The address of the list is net...@tapr.org and you can subscribe by sending
mail to list...@tapr.org with the text "join netsig".
Apart from subscribing to the list, you can contact me for further details
about the Net-SIG (including upcoming conferences).

included the 560,580 and 600 for Alinco. My contacts in the amateur radio
community have helped other amateurs to know more about products, hidden
features and new product offerings. The BBS will now include the latest
info on YAESU and ALINCO products. If you have a product that you wish to
have evaluated for the general amateur community, please contact before
sending.

dominions. I can be of the most help with low-frequency analog stuff,
particularly measurements and low-level/low-noise/low-distortion
applications. I breadboard with IC's, discretes, and surface mounts
(which I prefer to use now, as surface mounting requires less drilling
of PCB boards once they are etched). My electrical engineering
education (Ph.D.) emphasized control systems. I also have a clear
understanding of transmission line measurements and behavior (a
personal research interest for the last 25 years or so).

Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) matters
Equipment Testing
My survey of automotive EMI problems is mostly complete. The results
are in September 1994 QST, including warranty and customer service
information for most automobile manufacturers (many of whom have
published installation guidelines).
I am also continuing to pursue more formal contacts and standards-making
through the EMR and EMI Standards Committee of the Society of Automotive
Engineers (SAE), of which I am a member.
Copies of General Motors installation guidelines are available. Saturn
allegedly has a video on mobile installation, but none of the dealers
seem to know about it. I have a call into one of my low friends in high
places. :-)
If anyone would like a copy of the GM installation guidelines, send a 9X12"
SASE with two units of postage *and* a specific request for the "GM
Installation Guidelines" to the ARRL Technical Department Secretary, 225
Main St, Newington, CT 06111. A copy has been reprinted in the ARRL book
-- Radio Frequency Interference -- How to Find It and Fix It.
EMI/RFI Resource List and RFI Tips package available. A business
SASE with 98 cents postage is appreciated. Please specify the desired
documents in your correspondence.
The FCC has released the results of a telephone interference survey
just completed.
If you would like a copy of the survey, which includes a list of
telephone models checked, send an SASE with two units of first class
postage to the Technical Information Service at ARRL HQ. Alternatively,
you may obtain an electronic copy from the info server below.
If anyone is having a problem with CATVI, send a 9X12" SASE with 4 units of
postage to the ARRL Technical Department Secretary. Ask for the "EMI/RFI
Package" and "EMI/RFI - CATV." The CATV package includes a reprint of the
article I wrote for Communications Technology -- the journal of the Society
of Cable Television Engineers. Your local cable company will recognize this
publication and will give credence to the words therein.
If you have any questions after you have read the material, contact me here
at HQ. I can usually get back to you within a few days to offer some
additional help.
Many amateur radio informational documents (including EMI/RFI files) are
also available from the ARRL info server. Send E-mail to in...@arrl.org
with the word "HELP" in the message body.

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.

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 is currently 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 one of the above administrivia addresses.

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.

There is now a mailing list set up for the UK TCP/IP Networking Group
(UKIP). This is a loosely-organised group set up to promote the use of
TCP/IP networking protocols over radio in the UK, and to encourage the
establishment of high-speed backbone links and network gateways.
If you want to subscribe:
Send mail to ukip-r...@cs.nott.ac.uk. This is handled by a
human rather than a listserver, so be polite :-)
To post to the list:
Send mail to uk...@cs.nott.ac.uk. Subscription requests and other
administrative bits and bobs should go to ukip-request, _not_ to
the list as this just means that lots of people read your
subscription message and get cross.
I can personally answer quite a lot of the questions about TCP/IP-related
subjects.
Be forewarned that the list is fairly technical in its discussions, so
probably not the best place for beginners to start :).

I have a collection of service information and literature dating back
to the 1920's. I will be happy to assist those needing copies of
out-of-copyright information for specific makes and models of
receivers, transmitters, test equipment, etc..
The collection spans commercial, amateur, and military surplus gear of all
types. Unfortunately I have not taken the time to catalog all this
information, but it is logically filed by make, model, etc.
If you need service information for a specific piece of equipment,
(and I have the information in my collection) I will research and copy
it for you. Cost will vary depending on the time required to find the
information and the amount of pages to be copied. I estimate 10 pages
or less at $1.00/page including US postage. I will quote on larger
manuals.
This is NOT my career or a business. Any requests must be prepaid or I will
ship COD at additional postage costs.

I am very lucky in that I earn my living in radio communications, so my
expertise is fairly broad (but not focused on amateur techniques only):
Modulation types - FSK, PSK, MSK
Error control - various types of ARQ and FEC systems
RF - Antennas, HF propagation
Networking - TCP/IP over HF
Frequency bands: VLF, LF, HF, VHF, UHF, SHF
This is a very brief synopsis of the areas that I have dealt with over
the years. I always enjoy discussing and researching a communications
problem so if you don't see it listed above drop me a line anyway,
especially if you happen to be in Europe.

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...

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 the future, an archive of files will be accessible by anonymous
ftp or possibly by email. In the meantime, check the FTP site:
for AMSAT-related files. Consult your local guru for help on using
anonymous ftp.
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

Maintainer of the Universal and Free Listing of Repeaters for Radio Amateurs
This listing with all the data is available for anonymous FTP from:
ftp://mipg.upenn.edu/pub/yee/rptr010.Z
An experimental search and submission front-end is available at:
http://www.acs.ncsu.edu/HamRadio/scripts/repeaterdb.perl
As far as I am aware, all the data is freely redistributable and my
intent is to make sure it stays that way. For this reason, I have
applied the GNU General Public License.
The repeater project will now include repeaters from ALL bands and
is not limited to the US. This reflects the intent to make this
directory universal.
Contributions of data may be made by anonymous ftp to:
ftp://mipg.upenn.edu/pub/yee/uploads/
or via email to y...@mipg.upenn.edu
The data format has not been changed from the old format so
contributions that you were planning to make (prior to my recent
troubles) are still current and most welcome. This repeater listing
will be of use if people take an active part in making it accurate and
useful.
