Yep, major command station got snowed in with 28 inches of snow over the
long weekend with all the roads closed. Result is we didnt get to send
the CLEAR-72-HOUR-TIMER command and so 72 hours after the last time it was
accessed by a comand station, it reset both TNC's. Thus, we lost the BBS.
In about an hour, I will have a pass and can restore the BBS.
PSCAT is in full sun and has plenty of power. She is open to
experimentation.

Greetings to the Group,
Due to my wife's job, I will be moving to Heidelberg, Germany at the
beginning of April for 2-3 years. Can someone in Germany, preferably
Heidelberg, contact me off list to discuss frequencies, settings, local
clubs, user groups, etc.? I hope to be running a D700A(my wife will only
allow one radio in the car :( for voice and APRS. I don't think there will
be a problem with the A version in Europe but someone please let me know if
there is.
Thanks,
Leon S. Ciereszko III

Is there a problem with the APRS-IS? I've tried connecting WinAPRS to
several different servers, and can't get a connect. Anybody else notice
anything?
Thanks,
Earl

Thanks anyway...

Folks:
A new subscriber here, and my first post. I'm a 35 year ham, mostly HF
DXing and Contesting oriented, but have the opportunity to help a group of
Explorers implement ham radio in many forms on an upcoming round the world
Expedition. See: http://drivearoundtheworld.com for their website, and look
at the 'Longitude' Expedition, a 9 month, 50,000km circumnavigation,
planned for departure this coming October. There will average a core group
of 9 expeditioners, and all will be licensed hams. They created a 'take me
with you' program, soliciting proposals from interested parties to take an
active part in the expedition for 2 to 4 week segments. Details of that
soon to be posted on their website.
I hope to implement multiple modes for them, and equip the 3 Land Rovers
with a well thought out suite of ham equipment, including APRS, that will
serve well their mission. All planners involved have very full plates, so I
am looking at team building to assist in details. This Expedition seems
imminently suitable for APRS reporting, so I solicit input, or even a
project manager (APRS CZAR) to plan and optimize use of APRS during the
Expedition. I just learned of the Superduper Kenwood APRS specialty VHF/UHF
transceiver, which I plan to specify for the equipment suite. Additionally,
a compact 100 watt capable HF radio, equipped with most digital modes, etc
etc...All vehicles will be equipped with ham gear, some used for vehicle to
vehicle comms when the vehicles are separated, sometimes one has to scout
ahead for best routes....A Satphone will also be carried.
I hope to ride along in the Tibet through Tuva leg, and plan a humanitarian
assistance effort (Windmill power generators) in Tuva.
If you can offer APRS expertise and want to help, please contact me, and I
will bring you into the team...If you want to join the expedition for a leg,
figure out a productive activity during that leg and propose it to the
organizers, and you may be able to take part in an exciting trip.
Contact me Pat, AA6EG; aa6eg@hotmail.com, or Chief of the expedition, Nick
Baggerly, nick@drivearoundtheworld.com
Tnx

Motorola makes business-band transceivers that we use on 6-, 2-meters and
70cm. I even see some in the 800-MHz range. Does anything exist that can
be tuned for operation in the 222-MHz band?

I know several years ago I brought up the need for a NMO Mount GPS to stay
with the somwhat commercial 2-way standard. I contaced several manufacturers
while I was in the 2-way business but I have been out of it for 5 years now.
Has anyone seen a NMO GPS antenna ? has anyone used one ? I just got a new
2500 P/U for work and it is my bi-yearly pull out and re-install this
weekend.

EV,
About 12 or so years ago, we were converting VHF Motorola Micors to 220 mhz.
I did about 5 of them. I am sure you can find that MOD on the Mod pages
which to my surprise, are still around! Even found some of my old mods
listed there from years back! Was kinda nice to see.
The mod to the Micors was fairly intense and not a casual modification.
Major exciter changes took place in darn near every section of the exciter.
On the receiver I remember modifying the helicoils...rewind and changing the
tap, etc. Trust me, this was not a mod for an first timer....and when you
were done you knew you had been thru an ordeal! I also remember have a bad
capacitor or two that drove me totally nuts for long periods of time. I
remember UFO sightings back then...and what they really turned out to be
were exciter boards flying out of my radio shop!!! ;)
One of the major California (North to South) networks used the modified
micors almost exclusively and they had made up some real good instructions
on what was needed. Condor....that's it! It was the Condor network folks
that did this!
Jim, WA6OFT
