[DX-CHAT] Fw: 10 meter unlicensed ops
Things are looking up Piedmont Coastal Repeater Network Message: 1 Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2003 12:23:03 -0400 From: BARRY [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FCC Warns Trucking Firms FCC Warns Trucking Firms about Alleged Unlicensed 10-Meter Operation From the ARRL website: FCC Warns Trucking Firms about Alleged Unlicensed 10-Meter Operation NEWINGTON, CT, Jul 28, 2003--The FCC Enforcement Bureau has sent Warning Notice letters to three highway transportation firms asserting that drivers of some of their vehicles may have transmitted without a license on 10 meters. All three notices allege the unlicensed operations took place July 8 on Interstate highways in South Carolina. Letters went out July 14 from FCC Special Counsel Riley Hollingsworth to Jolly Roger Capital Ltd of Columbia, South Carolina, Tidewater Transit Company of Kinston, North Carolina, and Shuford Lumber of Marion, North Carolina. He warned all three firms that operation of radio transmitting equipment without a license could lead to fines of up to $10,000, equipment seizure and even imprisonment. Hollingsworth cited information before the Commission that spelled out each vehicle's highway location, license plate and--in two instances--operating frequency (28.085 MHz). One of the Warning Notice letters also identified the make and year of the vehicle. The alleged offenses were said to have occurred when the vehicles were under way on Interstate 77 or Interstate 20 in South Carolina. Hollingsworth asked all three firms to get in touch with him to discuss the allegations.

[DX-CHAT] frustration!
I have always heard that MFSK16 utilized the default sideband for the band used, such as USB in 20 and LSB on 40, etc. Last night, I was told that MFSK, Hellschreiber and SSTV are always used on USB. Well, tonight on 40, I found one MFSK QSO on upper and another on lower sideband. Which sideband should I look for when using MFSK, Hellschreiber and SSTV on 40 and below? I have had a lot of trouble tuning in Hellschreiber and MFSK and hate to think it was because I am on the wrong sideband..

[DX-CHAT] Gus Browning's logs
The mystery of what became of Gus Browning's logs has been solved. Gus lived fairly close by and I managed to locate his daughter several months ago, and she looked into the matter. I just got of the phone with her. After Gus died in 1991, his wife sold the house, but gave everybody a chance to get whatever they wanted. She remembers the logbooks in several boxes by the door, even thumbed through several of them. Apparently nobody picked them up though and the new owners trashed them. An all too common answer to this question.

I found some recordings of CBS news from 1943. War news was often done live by short wave.

[DX-CHAT] DXCC application
I received my cards back from ARRL today. Included was an unsigned note complaining that I had not separated the cards by mode and that further such applications would not be processed. I have been sending cards to the league for over 30 years now, always separated by bands and alphabetized by prefix. This is the first time anyone has told me I was doing it wrong. The note was short, snappy and unsigned and I am a bit upset by it. What's worse, I sent in a second application a few weeks ago and if they bounce the whole thing, I am gonna be real upset. From a public relations standpoint, I feel that DXCC has shot me the proverbial bird and right now, I am sorry that I am a life member of ARRL. What's going on in Newington?

[DX-CHAT] DXCC applicatioin revisited
I did in fact e mail Bill at the league. My point was that this situation could have been handled differently. A simple request do do it differently would have sufficed instead of anonymously telling me to do it their way or stuff it I have had several runins recently with the league over several different matters, and they act like they don't care anymore about image or anything else. I have all but two now and mebbe I won't have to bother them too much more about anything.

[DX-CHAT] thanks for the replies
Most have been constructive, but several have totally misunderstood the meaning of my gripe. I have not said the league was wrong nor have I asked for or expected an apology. My complaint was and is the rather cavalier and anonymous treatment that I, as a league member, got from MY ARRL. I admit that I made a mistake. That is a given. The last problem was when the league messed up on my credit card and sent me a letter that would have made a collection agency proud. I wrote them back and told them to ty again, which they did, and it went through. There was never a reply or acknowledgement that time. At a time when the league is under fire from a lot of folk about their policies, they need all the positive PR they can get, and it looks like they simply don't care anymore.

[DX-CHAT] MMTTY Problem
I have used MMTTY for the past few years with good results. Recently, I had the motherboard on this computer to die and it was replaced. Nothing else was touched. Today, I tried RTTY for the first time since having the work done. It transmits fine, prints OK, and shows a reading on the scope as always. However, on receive, there is nothing on the scope and no print. I turned off the line in mute and can hear the RTTY audio in the PC speaker, so it is coming in, but not making it to the MTTY program for some reason. I have tried swapping the plugs on the audio card with no results. Does anybody have any ideas?

I have found that not only MMTTY is quiet, but also digipan, MFSK16 and others are affected. That means a whole new ballgame.

Thanks for all the info. WOW, it looks like I touched a nerve... It seems like there is one of those in every organization. I am glad that I am not the only one who felt unwelcome. Thanks also for the explanation of the . prohibition of phonetics That doesn't bode well for my problem. These ears are not as sharp as they were when I was first licensed nearly 50 years ago and D sounds like B, S sounds like F, and T sounds like P. So, you can see why I need phonetics.
