I do remember Dick Bash, KL7??? who started the whole licencing uproar. I think he finally got his tech licence pulled for some silly reason. Yes, I love them boat anchors too. Hollow state technology with the warm glow of filaments is so nostalgic. I personally will have a boat anchor station set up. Drake 2B and a Central Electronics 100V transmitter tied into a Johnson Desk Kilowatt. I heven have the Ranger exciter to run it as a KW plate modulated if necessary (now illegal). Yes, I do have rice boxes as well, but there is no challenge to those. But they are nice mobile. I challenge all of you out there to get a ham licence, no code or even the 5 wpm. The 5 wpm is no barrier -- anyone can learn that in a few weeks a couple nights a week. C U on the bands . . .

Source code for BASIC

by edick＠idcomm.com

I doubt, somehow, that you could classify what's in the ROMs in an ATARI or COMMODORE as source code.

ham radio?

by ghldbrd＠ccp.com

Hello, fellow OM's yes, I are a ham too, but don't send the code stuff. Now that the FCC had deregulated things, the majority of hams will NOT know Morse Code. didididahdidah CB radio has now infiltrated our ranks -- but us scrungers live on in cyberspace, or is that at a virtual hamfest where people still build things . . .

Maxtor xt8760 drives

by edick＠idcomm.com

That might be the case, except that my recollection of the "standard" MAXTOR drives were pretty much all 15 Mbit drives. Later they may have gone faster, though. My 4380's and 8760's are all 15 Mbit drives.

FCC licences

by ghldbrd＠ccp.com

Hello fellow hams and others, Besides having a ham licence, I also had a First Class Radiotelephone, until the FCC deregulated that as well back in 1985. Now it is just a General Radiotelephone licence, which is required only in a handful of circumstances. And then try to get one today!! The exam is given under a similar structure as the ham licence VEC program, but not the same. And it costs $100+ for an attempt. It's too bad the FCC ran short of money and had to curtail a lot of its activities. Now I just call then the Gettysburg Address. Gary Hildebrand

I'm personally looking forward to the new rules - I got a "know code" technician in 1992 and plan to bump myself up to at least general since I already have the 5 wpm. I'd been wanting to get a ticket for a while, my father was one in the '50s, but he let his lapse. The final straw was the depletion of the "N8" call sign - I got N8TVD, as I said earlier. My younger brother got N8YKN. AFAIK, techs around here get "KC8" calls now. -ethan ===== Infinet has been sold. The domain is going away in February.

ASR-33 Question

by mrdos＠swbell.net

Does anyone know how to connect an ASR-33 Teletype to a DG Nova 2? Also, does anyone know the communications settings for the Nova 2? I have a ADM-3A Terminal, and according to a book that came with my Nova, my particular machine was host to one. Thanks, Owen
