AP2MY Summary

Six days ago I asked whether anyone had information about AP2MY. Jim Floyd's 
compilation of CQWW CW scores showed that station made 2400 Qs single band on 
40-meters. Floyd's listing says the operator was N9NC. I've seen nothing about 
this operation in any newsletter or QSL source. You would think a Pakistani 
40-meter contest operation would be pretty newsworthy, even if it doesn't 
count for IOTA. <g>

Hams from Europe, Israel, Mauritius, and the Caribbean told me they had worked 
AP2MY during the contest. From the US, only AA2UV and W8FJ (operating KY3N) 
reported working him. Bob, AA2UV, asked the AP for QSL info and was told to 
use the buro [which one- W9 or AP?]. No one reported working AP2MY outside the 
contest or on another band.

Several hams said they were eagerly looking for QSL info on this one.

Ed Hare (whose department does the lab testing at ARRL) sent me
the following.  (By the way Ed, is that the FT1000_MP_ coming up?)

For those of us who are serious about our radios, this looks like
a good program to me, and I believe it deserves our support. Its 
not free, but the proceeds will help improve a non-biased 
evaluation process, and help us avoid becoming members of the
CONTEST Radio of the Month club.

Happy holidays, de Hans, K0HB

Hello, Hans,

Thanks for the description of the report that you posted on the reflector. 
 We are doing a similar one for the TS-870 and FT-1000 reviews about to come 
up.  So far the response has been a bit slow, but we are hoping it will pick 
up.  If we can get 100-200 orders a month, it will help fund our Lab 
testing, and permit me to expand our test battery a bit.  I think for the 
'870, I want to do some swept receiver and transmitter bandwidth tests, but 
am not 100% sure I can find the time to develop the test method before the 
report is written.

I also want to expand the comparative section to include a few more test 
parameters and a separate table on features (ie, notch filter, auto notch, 
VBT, memories, etc.)

I sure hope this flies with hams; I would like to be able to do it even 
better, but if we don't sell enough of them, we really can't afford to.

For now, 73 and Happy New Year from ARRL HQ,  Ed Hare, KA1CV, ARRL 
Laboratory Supervisor.

Just in case anyone else is confused beyond Clem, KP4XS, NA is NOT
available in a shareware version.  Contact LTA for the latest info on
how to become a registered user and support the time invested in
writing the program.

There is a separate reflector for NA users.  Send me E-MAIL if you
want more information.

Very 73! 
Happy New Year!

     There is a fantastic new search engine on the www.  Go to:
     
     http://www.altavista.digital.com/
     
     This site is owned by DEC.  They have a machine that visits ALL web 
     sites in the world and downloads their visible pages.  They then cross 
     reference all of the words found into a database.  You can search for 
     strings and it will return all www sites/pages that contain that 
     string (or something close to it!).  You can find anything.  Because 
     it searches for strings, you often find some surprising links that you 
     would have never thought of.
     
     Even better, the list you get is already set up with links.  All you 
     have to do is click on the entry of interest, and you go there.

As an example, I needed the KA9FOX web site address.  I entered 
"KA9FOX" as the string to search for.  Amazingly, there were almost 700 
matches (including about every possible ham radio www site!).  I even 
found some that I was not already aware of.

Not really a contesting topic, but a good way to find those elusive www 
multipliers!

     Comments:  I started with the name Mel, in honor of the last  
     time when a few beers and a few glasses of wine before the 
     contest left me feeling very  Mel - OH.  This time I was 
     stone sober, though you couldn't tell from the results.
     
     Last Saturday I traced down two arcing power poles within
     300 yards of my house, but with the holiday slowdowns the 
     power company hasn't been out to fix them yet.  Therefore I had 
     S9+ noise on both bands.  AA9AX was the only guy on 40 to be 
     comfortably above the QRN, and only another half dozen could
     be heard.  It's also quite a challenge to get the rhythm of 
     this contest when you can hear only one side of any qso.
 
     Sigs were better on 80, so more people were above the noise.   
     I never made so many North Dakota QSOs in CW contest.  
     For 3 QSOs in a row WB0O gave me the name of Mark; I was 
     starting to wonder if Bill had read the rules  :-)  .
 
     Happy New Year to all,

I didn't know anyone was looking for reports on AP2MY in the CQWWCW test.

I also worked  AP2MY on 40 Meters @ 2224Z on 11/25/95.

73!

Sweden is reputed to have very demanding EMI standards.  A number of the top
brands of monitors advertise their compliance with Swedish standards.  That
might be a good place to start, though those standards may have more to do
with X-ray emissions from the monitor screens - I don't know.  Can anyone on
the reflector comment?  Computer RFI has been a real issue in my CONTEST
station from time to time, though not at present (antennas are too far away,
maybe?)
