We all love our toys. With Ham Radio, there are numerous gadgets that may enhance our radio pleasure but that are not vital for communication, like a clock. What is your favorite radio toy?

For me, it is a toy I took over from one of my kids when they outgrew it. It is a toy Smurf (Remember those purple cartoon characters?) who holds a radio in one hand and is wearing a set of headphones. It is useless for radio, but I keep it foremost on my operating desk because every time I see it, I smile.

And yours?

73,

My favorite "radio toy" is a "Dick Tracy" AM/FM transistor radio.  And I
do mean "transistor"- no "chips" in
there - only individual transistors, resistors, diodes, chokes, etc.
powered by a 9 volt battery.  It is about 6.5" X 4.5" X 1.5", black
plastic with a silver front that has a screen printed image of Tracy
himself. You've just got to love it.

It's not really a "toy," but as I look around my room/shack, I do see one 
thing.  I've manage to collect those luggage tags with the airport 
identifier for most of my travels: BOS; SNN; DFW; MIA; JFK, but where to put 
them all?  Well, here's a mag-mount on a cookie sheet (sorry, Ma) doing 
nothing.  These "travel tags" are stacked, more ore less neatly, above the 
trap on this vertical!  Putting it to work when not on the air :-)

Useless for QSO but fun? The only "Magic T" waveguide coupler/splitter I've found at flea market is for a band with no ham allocation, maybe 14GHz. It's on my desk as a whatsthat convesation piece.

Catalogs. Do you enjoy reading catalogs? In days gone by, each store produced catalogs with descriptions and prices of their wares, and a reader could spend hours and hours reading and dreaming. What are or were your favorite radio catalogs?

For me, it had to be the Radio Shack catalogs in the early 1960s. RS carried all the major brand name, as well as their own brand, equipment and the Ham section in the catalog went on and on for twenty or more pages! Did you know RS sold the Kenwood TS-500 (actually, the Trio TS-500), a predecessor to the almost ubiquitous TS-520? A young Ham could spend hours reading, and I did!

How about you?

The original Radio Shack store is still on Comm Ave in Boston, and is still a
Radio Shack.  I still pick up a Radio Shack catalog when they come out -- free
with purchase.

The Lafayette and Allied catalogs were pretty good too in the day.   Heathkit
was good reading. 

I still look forward to the HRO catalogs, and take a good look at MFJ too.  I
don't seem to be on AES's list this year.  Digikey and Mouser are pretty good
reading still; Jameco is like Radio Shack used to be, except more digital less
analog.  

And then there are tool catalogs ...

As a boy, I would spend hours looking through the electronics catalogs and  
buying components in the mail.  There were three I used in the early  60's, 
Radio Shack, Lafayette Radio Electronics, and, in Chicago where I  grew up, 
Allied Radio (later acquired by Radio Shack to become Allied Radio  Shack).
 
Allied gave ham radio classes one night a week, and that's where  I learned 
Morse code and radio theory over several months.  After  getting my novice 
ticket through them, I bought their Knight Kit 50 watt  transmitter and picked up 
three crystals (no VFO allowed).  Used  my Dad's Hallicrafter's Super Skyrider 
receiver (model S-9) and began  working 40m CW.  Still remember the very 
distinctive fists of some of the  operators using their bugs - WN5INZ comes to 
mind.  I assembled  a keyer kit using vacuum tubes and a mercury relay.  Still 
use  it.
 
The other catalog I carried around with me all the time was a mini  hardcover 
book of tubes, fit in my shirt pocket.  A good complement  for the slide rule 
(Post Versalog) on my belt.  Even years later I  preferred a slide rule over 
a calculator.  You could see the answer  converging and you were never way off 
due to a keying error.

Allied Electronics actually ISN'T out of business, though they did get 
out of consumer electronics years ago to concentrate on being a 
distributor. They were absorbed by Radio Shack for a while (some of you 
may remember the years when RS became "Allied Radio Shack", complete 
with an ARS logo), and later spun back out into a separate company. You 
can find them on the web at http://www.alliedelec.com

Lafayette is indeed long gone. I lived on Long Island for my four years 
of high school, and have fond memories of visiting their big 
headquarters store.

Looks like you switched and got a vanity call sign, and a nice one at that. 
Did you encounter any *resistance* to the change?  :-)

Got to tell you, Mark. You provided the inspiration for this weeks BQOTW. While driving home from the Half Marathon on Sunday, I overheard you talking to someone about taking a trip to a bookstore in Worcester where you had bought old catalogs.

It's nice to trip down Memory Lane!

Folks,
I've recently picked up an old David Systems (now bought out by Cisco)
Expressnet 12-port Ethernet hub (model 6206), which uses a 50-pin Telco
connector for its I/O. Neither searching the Cisco site nor Google
searching has turned up any info on the telco connnector pinout, and I
have no confidence Cisco will respond to inquiries on such an old unit
from a company they once bought. Can anyone suggest places to look for
this info?

Thanks, Steve N1XNX

Better than that, having to track the exponents for yourself, you had an expectation of the approximate answer for each step.

And with the old EE tricks, it's still faster for pythagorean or polar/rect tranform!  

I don't spend enough time with my sliderules OR old calculators anymore :-)

Ummm... not sure I fully understand .. but .. I *think* that you only need a
computer with a firewire port .. not a computer with a firewire DVD or CD
dirve .. or ..  re-reading your message I'm still not sure .. which way do
you need to transfer the software? from someones elses external DVD/CD
(using your disk) into your computer? You say you want to "...plug my box
into your drive.." that seems to say you want to write software to a CD via
firewire.

Framingham ARA November 4th meeting - Norm Fusaro, W3IZ, ARRL Affiliated Club and Mentoring Manager, will speak on the future of Amateur Radio and growing clubs through Elmering and developing new hams. (Thanks, Gordy, BARC and FARA member, for fwding this.)

Colonial Wireless Association (The CWA meeting is:
Wednesday, October 27, 7:30pm, Lexington United Methodist Church, 2600 Massachusetts Ave. Stuart Santelmann (KC1F) will talk about: Having and using an Antenna Farm on a small house lot, keeping it nearly invisible from the neighbors, or --  "How to Hide an Elephant in Plain View". (Thanks, Larry, K1SAS, CWA member, for passing this and the next item.)

Westford PART is considering a one evening club project for the November 16th meeting: construction of a handheld 2 meter/440 beam that could be used to work amateur radio satellites using only a dual band walkie or two walkies. This would be a kit and you would assemble it and debug it during the club meeting. The kits will cost $35 each. Please contact Bo (WA1QYM) if you are interested.  He can be reached at: WA1QYM@arrl.net

Just saw this from the QRP-L reflector, from the BBC:
"Morse code seems to be the communication method that just won't die. ..."
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/3759672.stm

There's more to CW than Ham Radio. Consider the possibilities!

Since I got a few emails about this...

Yes, I know about the initials of the Yawkey's (the family that built Fenway
park and owned the Sox for many decades until 1993) around the score board
in Fenway Park. But the add that I sent it has something different written
there...

Somebody on barc-list seems to have a virus. I keep getting mail spoofed from 
KD1NX with an .scr type file attached. the mail is being sent to the list. So 
someone with barc-list in their addressbook may have a trojan sending out these 
emails. Please folks, check your machines. That is all.

Nope, it isn't coming from barc-list.  The list server
blocks all attachments.  Nowdays, viruses spoof the "from:"
and "reply-to:" fields so they look like they are coming
from other sites (such as barc-list), but they really
aren't.  I have been getting 20-100 bounces a day claiming
that ardai.org is sending spam - there is no mail server
on that domain at all...

To help in tracing viruses and spams, go to www.spamcop.net and join up. It's
free. The 'bot will parse headers for you and you can file a report (either
using your real name or a 'mole' address). For viruses, it will tell you who
originally sent it. I've been getting a lot from Verizon in East Boston lately,
BTW. They are totally unresponsive, FWIW.

Subject: [BARC-List] Limited  ARES SET this Saturday.
Message-ID: <000e01c4baf5$c64e7180$0400a8c0@ne2.client2.attbi.com>

To all Metro Boston ARES Members and interested parties.

On Saturday, October 30th from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm Eastern Mass ARES will conduct a limited ARES SET.  The purpose of the exercise will be to support  a more extensive drill which is being conducted on Cape Cod. In addition, the State of New Hampshire  is conducting their annual statewide exercise.

This is a great opportunity for Boston area hams to practice their communications skills in moving messages in and out of the Boston area and support our fellow hams on Cape Cod. Due to circumstances beyond their control, the scenario for Cape Cod had to change at the last moment and hence the late notice. Those with 40 meter NVIS capability are encourage to participate and test your equipment.

Available hams in the greater Boston who are interested in participating are asked to go to the Eastern Mass ARES Web site for additional information.   http://ares.ema.arrl.org/

You may also contact me directly should you have any questions. Thank you for your continued support of ARES and I look forward to hearing you on the air.

My favorite boat anchor was a Hallicrafters SX-28 which was one
of a special production modified specifically for use by the FCC.

My favorite unheralded electrical personage was C. My Haironend.
He was the first to discover the effect of shuffling across a rug
and touching a brass doorknob.

The one that leaps immediately to mind is an A that is tied to my old 
School- Atwater Kent.  The AK museum is in Philadelphia, but he was raised 
in Worcester, went to WPI as an ME major, never finished but still had over 
90 patents at his death.  The EE building at WPI is named after him.

Unheralded radio/electronics personages that I remember fondly -

My great uncle Al, electrical engineer for Central Maine Power, who gave me his Victorian engineering books.

"Chet"  the original W1NR, Army inWW1 and Navy radioman in WW2, neighbor, and old original elmer, dead 20+yrs. only ham I've known who _literally_ had a statue of Sen. Barry Goldwater mounted on the highest shelf in his shack like an Icon. He had WAA (worked all appliances) since it was the age of direct transistor drive, we shared a pole transoformer with them and Dad allowed him to run his 80m long wire over our yard. Luckily, as a Navy man he had no patience with that crazy new-fangled Air Force modulation (ssb) and his operating consisted of daytime ragchewing .. which was mostly gossip about his wife and neighbors, so fairly interesting.

It is in AIRNAV. It's an outer marker for the ILS to RWY 04R at KBOS. 
The identifier is MILTT. It's mentioned on

Message-ID: <001001c4bd61$42358e60$0400a8c0@ne2.client2.attbi.com>

To all Metro Boston ARES Members and interested parties.

 

Metro Boston SET Update  [10-28-04/1920hrs]
 

The simulated Emergency Test Scheduled for Saturday October 30th will take place as planned.

The main premise of the exercise for the Metro Boston Area, as stated in the previous announcement remains unchanged. (See previous announcement below.)  We will support Cape Cod and the state of NH with their exercise.

 

At the same time that the SET is taking place, the Red Sox Victory Celebration Parade in Boston will be held. Current estimates indicate that over 2 million people may attend and some estimates are considerably higher. The parade will begin at 10:00 am, which is the same time that the SET is scheduled to begin. 

 

There is nothing to suspect or suggest that the event will be anything but peaceful and there are no current plans for formal ARES support.

 

The current plan for Metro-Boston for Saturday October  r30th  is as follows:

(Please keep in mind that circumstances can change on a moments notice and the current plan as stated below may change at any time up to and during the actual events on Saturday.)

 

Metro Boston ARES members should support the drill from their homes. 

 

Stations participating may be asked to extend their hours of operation until the Red Sox Celebration concludes. 

 

Homes stations are encourage to check in on 146.64 or 145.23. 

 

Of particular interest will be NVIS operations on 40 meters into Cape Cod.

 

If you are mobile in the Boston area, please make sure your radio is turned on and you are monitoring. 

 

Make sure you have an HT with you and a fully charged battery.

 

Past experience has shown that CELL Phone Service could be significantly compromised due to the large amount of people expected in Boston. 

 

The Eastern Mass ARES Leadership is prepared to immediately shut down the SET should it become necessary for any reason and switch to a real time operation.

 

Additional information may be found on the Eastern Mass ARES Web-Site.

http://ares.ema.arrl.org/

 

Participants are asked to monitor after the Parade is over in case there are any traffic issues.

 

Thank you for your continued support of Amateur Radio. Stay safe. Enjoy the day. Enjoy the SET. Enjoy the Red Sox Celebration!  Happy Halloween.

A sincere thank you and job well done to all who supported today?s ?Limited SET? and  the ?Red Sox Limited ARES Standby Net.?  We had 17 check-ins on 145.23 starting at 10:00 AM and most stations stay with us for the entire event. A special thank you to Frank Murphy/N1DHW, Bill Foley/KB1GLF and Arthur Ashley/N1NHZ, who braved the crowds and operated from the Salvation Army Emergency Operations Center in downtown Boston.

 

Remember to change your clocks tonight and your Smoke Detector Batteries.

 

Also please remember to carry your HT with you on Tuesday, November 2nd. 

 

This has been a great day for New England, Amateur Radio and America!

Message-ID: <1CAB9365.2FD45D22.00012A9D@netscape.net>

To All BARC/BERT Members:
 
    I need some help with radio testing next Saturday, November 6, 2004, from 0900 - 1200 (approx.).  We have been approached by a potential "served agency" that may require our EMCOMM services and we need to test several of their locations within the City of Boston to see if we can hit a variety of repeaters on the UHF and/or VHF bands.
 
    To participate you will need a car, a portable radio and a better than stock antenna.  (A mobile radio will be nice but not necessary.)  I'm looking for Boston hams with a good sense of the City.
 
    We are going to various locations in the City and testing from the curb in front of a building.  We can't have access to the buildings yet but we should be able to get a good sense of how a portable should hit repeaters in and around Boston.
 
    If you're available and would like to help please email me at k1bth@arrl.net and we'll determine a convenient meeting place.  I'll then brief you on the potential agency and their mission.
 
    Thank you in advance for your assistance.
 
                                                                                                bth
