Hey folks......Do any of you operate on 160 or 80 much?? I am not having much 
luck finding FISTS on these bands. Maybe I just ain't lookin' in the right 
place at the right time. I know there used to be three GOOD FISTS get 
togethers on 80 in the novice bands, but thank that has all faded out. How 
about the lower portions. Anybody??

 BTW....I have rcvd a few emails concerning our K8FST operation. We are 
utilizing four ops, operating at their convenience of course, and are mostly 
using 20 meters and 40 meters at this time. I have already sent out some 
QSL's and patches....thanks to all who have worked us so far. It's been a 
hoot....Al....K8FST mouthpiece

always looking at magazines of that sort at the drug store, and wondering if 
I would EVER have some of the equipment shown in mags like that. Any one 
remember some others that were around. Of course the usual ham rags. There 
was also a  Popular Radio I "think". Popular electronics (pretty sure) was 
the one that gave out a spiffy certificate to short wave listeners, and gave 
them a "call". They were  WPE something. i.e. WPE8FAX. This was during my pre

I'm sorry to see Poptronics bite the dust. Several years ago, Poptronics was
created out of the merger for Popular Electronics and Radio-Electronics, so
that means that two long-time electronics hobbyist magazines are now
completely out of business. Here's the message you get when you try to call
up the Poptronics website:

POPTRONICS.COM

WE ARE REMODELING. PLEASE BE
PATIENT WITH US. CHECK BACK IN
A COUPLE OF DAYS. ALL FUNCTIONALITY
WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON.

Back in the 60s, my father got into hi-fi equipment, building some Heathkits
and he even built his own speakers. He subscribed to both Popular
Electronics and Electronics Illustrated for many years. I would, of course,
read them religiously.

Before I got my ham license in 1971, I did a lot of shortwave listening, and
did have one of those WPE certificates. I bet I even still have it somewhere
in my "files."

73!

Al,
 Yes, there were a few. My favorite was "Radio Craft". It had great (HI)
construction articles. For example, I think I recall that it was the mag
that had the project to build "A Foxhole Receiver"; used a rusty razor
blade, etc.

I seem to recall a radio project in a Boy Scout handbook from the early

QST FISTS DE K3NY for W3GR, your Code Buddy Coordinator

Have you got the urge to help another CW enthusiast to
improve his/her skills? We can help you!

At the moment we have a backlog of about 10 folks who
are new to CW or coming back after a long time away.
Even if you've never formally taught anything before, you
will have a ball helping another to improve speed and 
accuracy skills. 

We'd also like to get in touch with those members who are
listed as teachers on the W9EM Code Buddy Web Page
( http://www.qsl.net/w9em/find_code_buddy.html ).  Some
of this information may be out of date, and we'd like to 
get it freshened up. Please contact us off the list and we'll
work with John to update the page.

Hoping to hear from tons of you, 73

Subject: [Fists] Patch Info Again
Message-ID: <8.3348dc9b.2b6462b2@aol.com>

Hi all...If you have read this...sorry. Another rerun. I have worked some 
FISTS who somehow did not get or understand the patch thing and a few who are 
wondering when we are on the air. I have posted the notice here twice, and 
sent it to Keynote, but I don't know if it made in the  'note or not.(Why 
don't I know?? Thats another story all it's own)  Anyway, K8FST has currently 
5 members who have been asked to participate. All these folks, save one, are 
working day jobs, so their time is limited of course. So, we are scattered 
around at various times. I personally try to get on at least on Sunday using 
20 and 15, and evenings for a short time on 40. Dave, WT8R usually works 20 
and I believe 15 at times during the day. He is currently up to his elbows in 
a new amplifier project, and spends a lot of time in his shop. The other ops 
time scheds are random and I was told at our breakfast meeting this morning 
that they are planning to be on the air more. We have worked a lot of FISTS, 
but the QSL input is not that high at this point. I have sent out I believe 
two bundles, and a third will go Monday. If we run out of patches, we will 
get more so no one who responds will go without. Any way, I hope this answers 
most questions. I have answered all email rcvd to this point, and all QSL's 
rcvd at this point. 73 all....here's the rerun and hope to work you on the 
air....................73...........Al/W8FAX

Work K8FST and get a patch........During a two month period, commencing on 
Jan 1st, 2003, the first fifty operators who QSO K8FST (The Fairborn FISTS CW 
Club) are eligible to receive one of the new FISTS patches for the cost of a 
couple of stamps. This offer will continue until the end of February 2003. 
All you have to do is QSO the club call, K8FST. Then send a QSL card to the 
CBA along with a stamped, self addressed envelope. After we check our logs, 
we will send you a club QSL card and a patch. That's all there is to it. 
Contacts made with any of our club members on any band (CW only) are eligible 
for this offer. If we go over the 50 QSO target during the time we have 
allotted, we will get more patches. Everyone who works us, is in the log, and 
sends an envelope will get a patch. NO EQSL's or email requests PLEASE. We 
will not take requests for schedules, so you will have to "scan the bands" 
for us. Take a look at the patch at <A HREF="http://www.fists.org/New_FISTS_Patch_sm.jpg.">
http://www.fists.org/New_FISTS_Patch_sm.jpg.</A> Our QSL card sure ain't much, 
but these patches are a work of ART and you will want one for sure. Please 
note....when you work K8FST, send your card to the CLUB CBA. If you want a 
QSL from the member himself, please send your request/card separately thru 
the buro or other means. Requests for QSL cards other than K8FST will NOT be 
handled. QSL/Patch requests must be in our little fingers by the end of 
March. Have fun, and hope to work you during January or 
February................................Questions should be addressed to 
K8FST @aol.com.   Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all from the members of  
K8FST...The Fairborn FISTS CW Club       73
Please note that this offer does NOT include contacts made during FISTS 
SPRINTS. That is a seperate event...........73

Subject: [Fists] KN0WCW points?
Message-ID: <02c601c2c6fe$a7701ad0$c27ba8c0@D9J77B01>

I have worked both KN0WCW/1 and KN0WCW/5 lately. Jim, the op at KN0WCW/5,
said I get 5 points for working him. Do I also get 5 point for working
KN0WCW/1?


73!
