for 9k6) it was relatively easy to make an aux connector that disables the
microphone signal when the PTT signal is received on that connector. Just
two diodes required.
Maybe you should attempt something similar in your transceiver.
in the Yaesu's it is easy because CMOS switches (intended to disable the
mike when the optional "voice recorder" module is active) are already
present in the transceiver. But it should not be difficult to add
a 4053 or 4066 CMOS switch to the circuit.

Exactly! :-)) It's amazing how many stations I hear on 20m with their
mics live!

Subject: QSL Maker
Hello,
WB8RCR has recently posted a new version of his program, 'QSL Maker' - check
it out at http://hfradio.org/wb8rcr/
This is a Windows 95 program, It will not work under Win 3.1. The program has
also
been used on Windows 98 and Windows NT Workstation 4.0.
- When you first bring up the program, you are shown a dummy
QSL design.
- Simply enter your call and address and you have a useable,
if somewhat dull, QSL.
- Your call, name and address are remembered for future launches.
- You can adjust the position, color, and font for all the
elements of the card.
- You can use a Windows bitmap as a background for your card.
- Once you have the design you like, you can save it for future
use. In fact, you can save any number of designs for special
purposes, events, etc.
- There are 2, free-form lines for your QRP-L #, FISTS #,
10-10 #, grid square, awards, etc.
- The info block can be removed for those who would like to
write this information on the back.
- Dockable toolbars, put them where you want.
- There is a full-blown installation program, and complete
deinstall.
- There is extensive help.
- If you use custom colors, they are remembered across launches.
Again, this is software by WB8RCR. Come check it out.
73!

Subject: The Aplication Mantra
Folks:
Charles:
Maybe it's time for those old Rules governing ham radio which forbid
broadcasting and retransmission of commercial material and advertising on
the air, to be recinded. Particularily in the case of digital networking.
If my interpertations of things are correct, those Rules were only set up at
the behest of commercial services who feared that the "free" ham frequencies
would be used against the commercial services. e.g in the old days of
radio broadcasting, the MW AM broadcasters feared that hams might usurp
their commercial positions, and the phone companies insisted on ham phone
patches being illegal to protect their long distance services from free
loaders using ham radio. Both of those reasons are now moot! Why keep
outdated Rules? And. . . these days everyone including the Congress, the
Administration, and the FCC are FOR DEREGULATION.
Perhaps there is no longer any need for such Rules.
For instance, the retransmission of email advertising banners should only
help the advertisers and the free email providers. I am sure that
amazon.com does not really care if orders for books come in to their www
site after having passed over some network segments that were installed and
operated by amateurs.
My question is. . . do the current FCC Rules forbidding these practices make
any sense in today's world?
If not, maybe we should petition to have them recinded. After all, the
mantra of the Internet today is "bandwidth should be free", and de-regulate
to let markets govern, is that not what ham radio is all about?
Thoughts?

Subject: Those Wide, Open Spaces
The USA is not alone in having a good deal of wide open spaces that cannot
practically be bridged with VHF/UHF style networking. It's a big problem in
most places on the planet, and nobody has bothered to seriously address the
problem, perhaps because they heard the LandLine Lid "It can't be done"
mantra, and mistakenly thought that the A types knew what they were talking
about.
This is becoming less of a problem as more and more Hams realize how lame
the entire LandLine Lid way of looking at things is, and reject their
anti-ham, "It can't be done" outlook. People just can't be expected to sit
on their hands and listen to gloom 'n doom forever. - And of course many
hams are tired of hearing how ignorant and incompetent they are from a
