Mark,

I just went to the ANSR site, and here are their flight announcements:

ANSR-11, 01 Mar 2003, Test Micro Beacon II, Lithium Ion battery pack, SSTV

ANSR-12, 19 Apr 2003, ASU student video/still picture stabilization system

ANSR-13, 10 May 2003, U of A enhanced cross band repeater

I don't see anything here about March 8th!  Is this something they've 
left off their web page, or just miscommunication?  I was hoping to be 
able to pick up signals off this balloon here in Las Vegas.

73,
Glen N7GOT

Hmmm, somehow the primary server got rebooted a couple hours ago,
corrupting a couple of tables. I've switched the name over to the secondary
server, while the table is repaired. It may be a bit before the name server
flushes, so use www2.findu.com for the next few hours...

And that is the NMEA spec. My company once made the same mistake with some of 
our software. Course, we relized we screwed up and replaced the customer 
software at no charge. But we are just funny like that.

Does anyone have a DPK-2 tnc manual?  I seem to have misplaced mine.  I 
need the signals that are present on the serial (DB9) port, and what pins
they are on.

Also, does the DPK-2 do hardware handshaking?  Or, is it strictly software
handshaking?

Thanks,

I have looked all over the net for some sort of confirmation of this, no

Thanks

ARLB023 FCC makes housekeeping changes in Amateur Service rules

ZCZC AG23
QST de W1AW  
ARRL Bulletin 23  ARLB023
>From ARRL Headquarters  
Newington CT  March 6, 2003
To all radio amateurs 

SB QST ARL ARLB023
ARLB023 FCC makes housekeeping changes in Amateur Service rules

The FCC made some minor changes in the Part 97 Amateur Service rules
as a result of decisions at past World Radiocommunication
Conferences. In a wide-ranging Report and Order released March 3
that affects several radio services, the FCC has removed 97.401(b)
and international footnote 5.120 from the Amateur Service rules.

The section references International Telecommunication Union (ITU)
Resolution 640, which invited administrations to provide for the
needs of international disaster communications and for the needs of
emergency communications within their national regulations using
certain amateur bands. Resolution 640 was deleted at WRC-97, and
footnote 5.120 at WRC-2000.

"We do not think this will have an impact on the Amateur Service
emergency communications because Sections 97.111(a)(1) and 97.101(c)
of our Rules allow amateur stations to communicate with foreign
stations in disaster areas, making the provisions based on the
former ITU Resolution No. 640 unnecessary," the FCC said in the
RO&O in ET Docket 02-16.

Those sections permit transmissions necessary to exchange messages
with other stations in the amateur service, unless an administration
objects and require control operators at all times and on all
frequencies to give priority to stations providing emergency
communications.
