Hi, Does anybody know of any Packet/Node/Digital reflectors?
Also, any dealing with VHF/UHF and or Repeaters for us repeater owners?
And....What are their addresses?
Thanks,
See ya, Joel

My first Sprint ... interesting! Had fun, hope to do better next
time.

Plan to use computer logging next time (although a couple of guys
have told me that they prefer paper logging for this contest).
Paper logging this time (aaaggghhh) Sorry about the dupe

I would like to put together a team of newcomers for the next sprint
contest. That is, only those who have never worked a 'sprint' before. Let
me know..

I am now a hapless victim of duplicate mail from this reflector.
Who remembers what if anything to do?

Hi All - don't forget the Washington State Salmon Run this weekend. Due
to a screw-up on my part, the start time is 1200Z, Saturday, not 1600Z as
I originally sent out. "Call me Mr. Guilty..." Anyway, go for the smoked
salmon! There will be a number of mobiles out there with some uncommon
counties.

Stan is more than right. There is no reason a mechanical
engineering program to answer a lot of these issues cannot
be written. If the writer starts with Rohn 25 and Rohn 45,
he's covered 50% of the market. He can then stand around
and wait for other mfrs to subsidize his writing for other
towers, or at least force them to help with specs.

Unfortunately, the liability concerns probably preclude
anyone distributing a software package for mechanical tower
design.
K1VR: With all due respect, and speaking as a lawyer, I
have a hard time agreeing with this proposition.
Here's a thought experiment with which to test out this
hypothesis.
Would you be concerned about liability if you wrote a
program for designing house decks? Such a program exists.
Would you be concerned about liability if you wrote a
program for filing taxes? . . . making a will?
The answer is that you write the program, explain that it is
an explication of the principles of mechanical engineering,
but not the same as an registered professional engineer's
seal for a particular job, that your mileage may vary, and
be done with it. You wanna see liability limited? Read the
small print on the inside cover of most software programs.
> The really unfortunate result is that lots of folks put up
towers without the benefit of this kind of information, and
some of them are bound to be unsafe.
K1VR: I wholeheartedly agree, and for this reason, I
routinely beg Prof. N1CQ, Ph.D. and RPE, to write such a
program.

To all who is interested in a full blown weekend of contesting for a single
op, then try the CQWW Rtty contest this weekend. Yes, Single Ops can work
the entire 48 hours if they wish. My kind of a contest.
Hope to see everyone in print this weekend.

Subject: 100 db of noise reduction!
Message-ID: <199509210303.WAA13380@Walden.MO.NET>
Spent the past week modeling EWEs and Beverages on my new EZNEC
software. Not easy to get some noise relief when you have only an acre to
work with.
But now I'm looking at an ad in CQ for the new Kenwood TS-870:
"IMAGINE OVER 100 DB OF NOISE REDUCTION WITH NO SIGNAL LOSS!", it states
with only one exclamation point. Seems Kenwood has a way to reduce noise
from 40 over S-9 to zilch. And just in time to help me work all those
pesky zone 26 mults I used to miss on 160.
All you DSP gurus out there, is there any truth in Kenwood's claim? On
the other hand, Kenwood doesn't say you'll really get over 100 db of
reduction. They just say to imagine it <g>
