<div>I just had to hear a ham tune up his amp for almost 2 minutes straight.  Either this person doesn't know what he is doing or he should fix his radio equipment.<br />
<br />
People that tune up right on frequency show no respect for other hams.  I'm a rookie ham operator and I would never tune up on a frequency where 100's of people are trying to get a QSO from a rare dxpedition.<br />
<br />
Do me a favor guys move up or down a couple of meg and do your tuning and come back on frequency.  You will not hurt your amp, receiver or chance of getting the QSO<br />

<div>It's the first place I monitor, every day I check this band out, just in case she's open. Mostly she's not, mostly she's as dead as a proverbial Dodo but I love this band, I've served my time, done my dues, ever vigilant, ever watchful. I've caressed every single cycle of her Megawidth, tuned the darkest recesses of her sunspot minima. I've yearned for the good old days when we laughed together, when we were young and lively, you see, this band and I go back, we've got history and a special relationship. I didn't abandon or forsake her for other more shiny, chatty, vulgar bands. It would have been easy to turn my back on the old girl when times were grim and hopeless. No! Instead I presented her with a sparkly new quad, that we might once again ride, hand in hand across the charged wonder of the ionosphere. I heard her whisper to me lately that' she's on the up, she's out of her sick bed and on her feet. <br />
Only today we giggled a little together, we stared at each other longingly and we both knew she was on her way back. Oh! yes you'll all come running now, wanting her favours, whispering sweet nothings, hoping she'll forgive your infidelity but she won't forget those who left her for dead. Hang your heads in shame, this is my band, my TEN meters so stay away.;)<br />

<div>Okay this really bothers me. W5WI, those &quot;ham it up&quot; people, are charging people to process things. These things are so easy to do that it is un-believable! Why would you pay them to process your vanity call sign application or your renewal? ANYONE can log on to the FCC ULS website with your FRN and do it yourself. It is SO easy!  Just fill out the blanks and that is it! You would have to be a complete and total Moron not to be able to do that yourself. <br />
<br />
Can someone please explain to me what possesses someone to use this service of theirs? They do it for like $14.95. I should advertise that I will do it for $5.00! It is so easy that it's stupid!<br />
<br />
Maybe I am in the wrong line of work!</div>

<div>Feel free to share your &quot;7O&quot; humorous story.  Mine is:<br />
<br />
Heard two old geezers (a year older than me) talking on 40m, and one old guy mentions he worked &quot;7O&quot; finally.  The other guy missed part of the transmission, so he repeated it.  They were unable to continue the QSO because 2-3 stations started calling for &quot;7O&quot; and although the old boys told them they were not the station, just talking about it, the calling persisted.  I checked, and no the real &quot;7O&quot; was not on the frequency or anywhere close.  <br />
<br />
What a hoot!  I stayed on FCY for a few minutes and sure enough, they caught on and quit.  Have you heard such foolishness yourself?</div>

<div>Hi All,<br />
   Just checking to make sure I'm not breaking any etiquette rules.<br />
<br />
Two other hams and I are going on a fishing trip to a remote area that happens to be covered by a 2m repeater.  One of us will also be doing some off-road motorcycling in the area.  <br />
<br />
Is it OK for the two of us that are fishing on the (small) lake to use the repeater output frequency as a low power simplex freq.  That way, if the biker needs to talk to us he can hit the repeater and we'll hear him. <br />
<br />
Thanks for any input,<br />

<br />
Greg</div>

<div><font size="5">[<b><div style="text-align: center;">THERE WAS NO APPLE IN EDEN.</div></b></font><br />
<br />
<br />
This writing is quite long and deals with a lot of scientific fields that you might not be familiar with. For those without the patience to read it all here is the gist of it.<br />
<br />
<font color="#FF0000"><div style="text-align: center;">ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS are DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH.</div></font><br />
<br />
They interact with your body nervous system, distorting or even annihilating messages that must be transported by it.<br />
<br />
The process can be summarized in a single word, JAMMING.<br />
Any time we have two entities attempting to communicate but their messages are interfered with by a third source you are witnessing JAMMING.<br />
<br />
<font color="#FF0000"><font size="5"><div style="text-align: center;">AN EXTERNAL ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD / RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION IS JAMMING YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM CONDUCING TO SEVERE SYSTEM FAILURES MOSLY HEARTH RELATED</div>.</font></font><br />
<br />
<br />
The title of this work contains a word play. The word “APPLE” in it refers to the Apple Computer Corporation, today’s major Radio Frequency Radiation Polluter.<br />
<br />
==================================================  ====<br />
<br />
 <br />
There are those that say that Man and al around it has been created by a super-being dubbed as GOD. Single handedly, out of nothingness, He created all living creatures, land, sea and even the Sun. Because he loved his creations, He created a special place for them called Eden. There, all creatures were living in utter harmony and  pace.<br />
<br />
However, for unknown reasons, GOD has planted in this idyllic world the seeds of discontent. He has promulgated that MAN should remain an idiot for eternity and if he wants to rise above this status he will have to lose his Social Security Benefits, i.e. he will be expelled from Eden. But MAN was curious. He disobeyed and since then we have MAN on Earth, the purgatory dedicated to those that disobey the Rule Maker.<br />
<br />
And then, there are those that say that MAN has evolved from an ameba. One single biological cell appeared form nowhere. It liked what it saw and decided that Earth is a good place to colonize. It started to multiply and along the eons throughout countless mutations it finally arrived to what today we are recognizing as a MAN. According to Darwin, MAN is just an other evolutionary step on a biological ladder that nobody knows where it leads. According to him, MAN has evolved from other primate species, the monkeys. It then grew and adapted to his environment by producing special subspecies that could survive the local harsh condition of millions of years ago. The law of the survival of the fittest assured that only these specimens that were able to grow and reproduce under these conditions would have a chance to the future. In a nutshell, this theory is known as Darwinism.<br />
 <br />
MAN is a meat machine, said Tesla once. This machine is electrically controlled and driven. Minuscule conduits of sizes that can not be perceived by the barren eyes, conduct commands and information to and fro within the MANs body under the form of even more minuscule chemical/electrical impulses. These conduits, named nerves are responsible for the well being of the sensory, the motor and the intelligence system of MAN. An energy and nutrition supply system is also provided which delivers energy and food to various components of his body as the demand arises and evacuates residual mater. Many other subsystems operate in concert to fulfill the demands of the MANs needs on a second by second basis.<br />
<br />
This wonderful organized collection of components is controlled and supervised by an intelligence system in his brain while his motor and respiration functions are highly dependable by a central located pump, his Hearth.<br />
<br />
So his brain will not be overwhelmed by the minute by minute decision making process that daily life imposes, an entirely isolated subsystem of control and command is operating completely independent of the central intelligence system in such a way that MAN is not even aware of its existence. This is the Reflex system which makes ordinary function of his body seem to occur spontaneously and without reason. Most of MANs internal components operate under the Reflex system control and thus MAN is no aware of them until a failure occurs. <br />
<br />
To circumvent a catastrophic failure of the entire body, some of these components are build with redundancy in mind. To this end, there are two Kidneys and  two Lungs. To preserve the motor function of MAN, two legs and two arms complement each other in case o one’s failure. Same with most sensory perception organs, vision and acustical detection.<br />
<br />
As one can see, Nature has provided MAN with lots of recovery power except for his Hearth. This single and critical component is responsible for MANs life. Without it nothing works and MAN dies within minutes. And yet it has no back up component. Any damage occurring to this organ is permanent and potentially fatal.<br />
<br />
Earth is a wonderful place to be. It has everything that humans need to survive, thrive, and make it a home. It is not Eden but perhaps he does not need it. Through his insatious thirst for knowledge he has and continued to discover most of the secrets of his Universe. But Earth is just an oasis. A tiny speck of about two hundred chemical elements that coagulated and arranged them selves to make, protect and grow the first humans. This little spec of heaven floats in an immense sea of darkness, cosmic radiation, and coldness, the interplanetary void. This void is really, really inhospitable. If exposed directly to it, any living being will die instantaneously. It is not only de cold (very close to absolute zero degrees), it is not only the lack of oxygen. It is the cosmic radiation swarming all around the Earth that will kill him by radiation poisoning. Radiation form stars that ceased to exist billions years ago, radiation from black holes, background radiation, and mostly his Sun radiation. While the Sun is usually perceived as a life-enabling object, out there, in space, it is deadly. <br />
<br />
To protect MAN from its harm, Nature in its wisdom has created the Earth Magnetic Field that surrounds his place of birth with an invisible protective blanket that deflect into the space most of the harmful particles. This Field is flexible and bends under the solar particle wind but it never breaks. It is not changing in time or if it does it does so on a very slow pace. For most practical purposes the Earth Magnetic Field can be considered static, unchangeable. This is why the Magnetic Compass always shows towards the North and it does not change perceivable its indications in time. And this remained so for eons and eons and eons. MAN evolved, grew and adapted to an unchanging Magnetic Field. His body developed feedback systems that protect his inner workings no matter what physical position he takes within his environment. His body knows always how to react to the surrounding Earth Unchanging Magnetic Field.<br />
<br />
<br />
Many other living species have developed a special relationship with the Earth’s Magnetic Field for which they have developed special sensory organs that tells them their position and orientation. This is how migratory birds can fly thousands of miles from one place to an other and never miss their targets. This is how whales, dolphins and many fish species can tell where in the ocean they are and where they have to go.<br />
<br />
Recently, BBC News in its Science Section has published an interesting article about the latest effort of the scientific community in the understanding how migratory birds are able to orient them self in flight and how they use the Earth Magnetic Field. Without to describe he entire article that can be found at <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-17855194" target="_blank">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-17855194</a>,<br />
<br />
this work indicates a strong connection between the unchanging Earth Magnetic Field and the birds capabilities to orient themselves. It also attempts to describe what happens when the Magnetic Field direction is changes and shows how birds react to the changes. <br />
<br />
For eons, a substantial number of living creatures depend in a way or an other on this unchanging Magnetic Field<br />
<br />
And then, less that a fraction of a second ago on the evolutionary time scale, MAN has discovered that it can communicate over great distances by creating his own artificial Electro Magnetic Fields. The Electro Magnetic Field is an arbitrary name given to a phenomenon he really does not understand. However under this generic name fall multitudes of other names such Radio Waves and Radio Frequency Radiation just to mention two of them.<br />

There are two important differences between the Earth Magnetic field and the Artificially, MAN created, Electromagnetic fields. First and fore most is that the MAN Artificially created Electro Magnetic Fields are not Unchanging but oscillate between its two maximum value many times a second, sometimes billions and billions of billions times a second. <br />
<br />
To fully understand the significance of this difference one must be truly conversant in the science fields of Physiology, Electro Physiology, Cardiology, the Circulatory System, Molecular Chemistry, Fluid Dynamics and Osmosis, Electrical Engineering and molecular Physics at the atomic level.<br />
<br />
Second, the MAN made Electro Magnetic Fields are many times more powerful than the Earth’s Magnetic Field. Some of his Radio Transmitters, the major generators of the Electro Magnetical Fields are so powerful that standing a short distance from their antennas will kill you instantly.<br />
When you are visiting the Observation Deck on the Empire State Building you are exposed to an Electro Magnetic Field more than 1000 times the strength of an ordinary chest XRAY exposure. And yet there is no warning label to advise the public about the danger.<br />
<br />
This invisible but dangerous Radiation that interferes with your body functions at the most intimate level, the neuronic level, swamp the streets of every major city, New York, Tokyo Paris and all other. Your life in one of these cities is shortened substantially by nervous illnesses of the brain, heart and motor function of your body.<br />
Why is the ELECTRO MAGNETICAL Field so dangerous? Here is the explanation in layman terms.<br />
<br />
Next time when you sit in front of our computer and feel that your hart has just skipped inexplicably a beat, you need to think about our WiFi router sitting right in front of you. Think about your cell phone we carry in our shirt pocket next to our heart. Think about the cell phone company antennas right on top of our office radiating hundreds of Watts. Think about this paper. Because what FCC is failing to address in its legislation is the RF Radiation impact on our most important organ, the heart. I will try, succinctly to explain the current theory that attempts to find a reason for the proliferation within the last decade of an illness called Congestive Hart Failure or CHF, a generic catch all name, for many hearth disorders.<br />
<br />
 Our heart contains a wonderful timing machine that regulates our heartbeat. If this machine is not functioning properly we’ve got CHF and we die. It is that simple. <br />
<br />
This timing machine contains two natural Pace Makers the S-A Node and the A-V Node. Our heartbeat electrical impulse is originating in the S-A Node, propagates to the S-V Node and from here on it is distributed within the hearth muscle by thousand micrometric nerves (think of them as precision delay lines hairs of microscopic sizes) called the HIS BUNDLE (HB). The electric impulse originated in the S-A Node is propagating within the HB via molecular ion sodium and potassium transport and osmosis. These nerves are micrometric in diameter and the ion transport within them is highly dependent on a phenomenon called laminar flow. If this flow becomes turbulent your heart beat electrical impulse is not propagating properly through this nerve and the attached muscle is now out of rhythm with all others. You’ve just got Arrhythmia or even fibrillation...<br />
<br />
What I just described, is similar with what occurs in a Microwave Oven. The RF Radiation is agitating the fluid in your nerve capillary thus producing minute disturbances of its intracellular laminar flow. This disturbance is changing the timing and wave form of the electrical pulse that needs to be transmitted. This in turn makes that the arrival of the pulse at its target muscle cells to be out of sequence/rhythm with all other nerves in the bundle hence the beginning of arrhythmia. If this condition repeats, over time the nerve itself gets damaged and medication or surgery is needed. The power level necessary for this to occur is in the pico Watt range and is not frequency dependent. Pleases observe the critical word is pico. Not milli, not micro, not nano Watts but pico Watts. This is a very, very low power level and the result is immediately noticeable..”<br />
<br />
What I just described is similar with a basket ball game. You have the ball (a sodium ion) and you have to throw it with precision to squeeze through the hoop (the sodium ion gate). You throw it, the ball is in the air on precise trajectory and if noting interferes with its flight, the ball will squeeze through the hoop and all will be OK. But now imagine that and air current appears from nowhere and deviates just a tad the ball trajectory. It will miss the hoop and it will fall useless to the ground. The information and the energy that your ball was carrying have been lost and the receiving end cell, for which this payload was intended, starts to starve.<br />
<br />
It is this simple!<br />
<br />
<br />
MAN really did not understand what he was doing but the allure of fast riches overrode any precautionary sense and so, today, he is inundated in a sea of artificial Radiation that he does not understand and he does not know what it is.  MAN attempts to explain HOW he is doing it but he could only explain WHAT he is doing. MAN invented nonsensical words to describe his ignorance but this did not help much. Some of these words, the Electromagnetic Field for example, has become the staple of MANs arrogance and ignorance because even today, some one hundred years after their manifestation discovery,  he is not able to explain what these two words mean. In fact one of Mans great minds, Einstein the founding father of his understanding, said the following:<br />
<br />
<i>“I consider quite possible that physics cannot be based on the field concept, i.e. on continuos structures. In that case, nothing remains of my entire castle in the air, gravitation theory included, and the rest of the modern physics.”</i><br />
<br />
MAN has created a new Environmental Threat by polluting its surroundings with a sea of Radiation for witch the living beings have not been prepared for. Consequently, their reaction to it is erratic and nonsensical. Sometime the interaction is so perilous that it conduces to the death of the living tissue exposed to it.<br />
<br />
MAN needs time. Time for its body to acclimatize with the new environment. Time for its body to develop defenses for the new threat. Time for the body to develop the necessary responses.<br />
<br />
MAN should make peace with GOD and go back to EDEN. This time he should ask GOD to make an APPLE COMPUTER CORPORATION there too.</div>

<div>For those of you who still work, how do you keep your Ham hobby (obsession?) in balance with life, work demands, etc? <br />
<br />
For everyone it's different. For me that balance is still &quot;a work in progress&quot;. For those of you who are retired and single I bet things are much easier! :D</div>

<br />
I used to have a couple 10 meter beacons in the past. Fun project since you can do it so many different ways. I'm just wondering if it's still a worthwhile project? Are they really used that much today considering you can pretty much tell at a glance if 10 meters is open and to where (as well as the other bands) using on-line sites such as PSKReporter, WSPRNet, Reverse Beacon, etc.  You can see conditions more or less not only from your QTH, but from anywhere on the globe using those tools.  Whatcha think?</div>
