I was a youngster and was happily awaiting the time when we could quit using kerosene lamps and carbide lights, and the old battery-powered radios. Unfortunately, there was a big scare cam- paign circulating that held that "all that electricity in the air" would kill the cows and mules. As I remember, it was a reeal biggie back then. I remember wondering why the ignorant OF's didn't learn a little about it before trying to hold back progress. 73, Dube N5PDK ------------------------------ Date: 14 Apr 91 08:01:55 GMT From: pilchuck!ssc!tad@uunet.uu.net Subject: "Stray Voltage" on 60 Minutes To: info-hams@ucsd.edu In article <9104081906.AA22031@ucsd.edu>, wmartin@stl-06sima.army.mil (Will Martin) writes: > There was a 60 Minutes segment the night of Sunday, 7 April, that dealt > with the problems caused to several dairy farmers by a power-company- > caused condition called "stray voltage".

That, for example, is less than the standard repeater ;offset. ;73, K7ITM You're right. I never thought to consider bandwidth (we weak-signal types stay near one frequency most of the time). The issue of relative loss hinges on the type of 1/4 wave transformer used. I have seen some designs that involve "UHF" connectors, hacksaw-cut tubing, and hose clamps. Put one of those at each end of the transmission line and you're sure to have some loss. Since CATV line is so cheap (ie free) you could have two separate lines, on each for TX and RX, cut to different lengths. ------------------------------ Date: 14 Apr 91 13:07:39 GMT From: ogicse!emory!wa4mei!ke4zv!gary@ucsd.edu Subject: 50 to 75 ohm transformer???

They will operate on 80 meters with a dipole, 40 meters and WARC bands with a vertical and 10, 15, 20 meters with a tribander. Operation will be CW, SSB and RTTY. For CW look for them 20-25 KHz from the band edge listening up. On SSB for 80 and 40 meters look on 3795 as well as 7070 +- listening up for USA. Claude has also done propagation studies so they know what bands to be on for different parts of the world. K8YSE QUOTE: "It should be a first class operation." RK3CH, SPECIAL EVENT STATION. Andy, RW3AH, reports the Russian Amateur Radio Emergency Service, from Moscow City, will broadcast from the Russian Emergency Amateur Telecommunication Radio Center, on April 26, for a 24 hour period. The callsign RK3CH will be use in remembrance of the terrible disaster that happened at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station on April 26, 1986. RK3CH will operate on all bands, all modes and including the WARC bands. QSL RK3CH via RW3AH (Russian Emergency Radio Co-ordinator), P.O. Box 899, Moscow, 127018 USSR. The goal of this special event station is to remind the people all over the world the seriousness of what happened in the Soviet Union. Andy said, with the happening of Chernobyl, citizens of the planet should begin taking steps to have public control of Nuclear Power Plants. S2, BANGLEDESH. Jim Smith, VK9NS, has completed his S2 operation working about 700 stations. Nick, W8XD, reports Jim plans to return for another operation May 15 or May 22, after his planned trip to Bhutan.

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu David Tocher EI2AMB asks about respraying front panels with stamped lettering; here's what i have always done:- 1) Make sure panel is really clean; there may be remnants of paint in the depressions of the stamped lettering. Go round each letter with a needle to make sure there is nothing trapped. Even the slightest particle of dust will make a real mess of the final results. Scour the surface of the panel with any suitable household abrasive powder so as to remove any oxidisation. Make sure you remove any powder residue, thorough washing in clean water is the answer here. 2) De-grease the panel (using pure isopropyl alcohol). 3) Heat the panel. Use anything you have to hand (hair-dryer, heat shrink sleeve hot-air gun) as long as it wont create moisture; get the panel to about 40 centigrade (100 fahrenheit) and keep it at that temperature for several minutes - this is to ensure there is no moisture trapped in the surface indentations. 4) Spray on a VERY THIN layer of primer. If the panel is aluminium or alloy, use an etching primer. The panel should be heated before applying the primer - this helps the solvents 'flash off' and prevents any possibility of sags or runs. 5) Keep the panel warm for a few hours to let primer dry. Do not let the panel cool or moisture/condensation may form on the surface, leading to an unintentional 'wrinkle finish'. 6) Spray on a VERY THIN layer of paint - i usually use acrylic body-shop paint, purists may want to use cellulose. 7) Keep the panel WARM and DUST-FREE for at least a week to let the paint harden. Handling it before this period has elapsed is likely to result in 'fingerprint marks' which will ruin the gloss. 8) To replace 'whiteness' in the stamped lettering, i suggest using typists correction fluid, suitably thinned. This stuff will not attack the acrylic paint, since it uses different solvents. Any excess can be removed using a swab soaked in thinner. 9) When your panel is finished, leave it for a few days to harden, then spray with a thin film of clear lacquer; this will protect the lettering from staining, and add strength to the paint finish. I have restored dozens of radios using similar methods - even using 'kitchen table technology' gives perfectly acceptable results. A word of warning; the solvents used in paints have interesting biochemical properties if inhaled for prolonged periods. Make sure you have good ventilation to remove the fumes, unless you want to try some altered consciousness-states. Another word of warning - the Surgeon General has determined that dropping the front-panel of a RR690-D on your foot causes severe pain and the use of language that may be considered unsuitable for juveniles.
