Dear Mike & Field day participtants:

The CW crew made the following contacts:


Band     #QSOs   #Points

160        0        0
80       151      302
40       368      736
20       140      280
15         3        6
10         0        0

Total    662     1324

There were an amazing number of repeat requests after
we send our "19a" report.

Also - we worked 87 duplicates - and of course we
removed them from our score.

Can't wait for the IARU DX contest next weekend!

73,

Jim Nitzberg  WX3B on behalf of "Team CW"

Greetings all;

Without going into alot of detail here, I am curently unemployed with
no prospects.  If anyone happens to know of any jobs that are
available, I would certainly appreciate you letting me know about
them.  I'm not looking for much.  I'd like to clear at least 1500 per
month.  The job does NOT need to be in television or even in the
broadcasting field.  I'll clean floors, do deliveries, service office
equipment, manage a mall kiosk, anything.  I really need to find a job
fast!

My only other request is that the job be located within a reasonable
driving distance from Hampstead, MD.  I cannot relocate at this time.

Please keep an eye, or ear, open for any opportunities that might
become available.  thanks everyone.

FYI - yes your radio is not broke!  

The author works for a gov't agency that pays
attention to the ionosphere ... this is from the
QRP-L.  

He mentions propagation should be better than the norm
for this part of the solar cycle when things rebound
today!

Folks-

We had a wonderful time at the club picnic today.  It was hot and muggy, but there was no rain.  The sun was shining throughout the day, and we were in a well shaded spot.  The park was crowded, but our area was well isolated.

Jim W3XB cooked Hotdogs, Hamburgers, and Chicken.  There was KFC, potato salad, and cole slaw.  

Steve brought a small HF rig, and I had an HT tuned to K3PZN repeater for talk-in.

When I left, a couple more people had radioed in that they were on the way.

All-in-all, a success.

"In this Notice of Proposed Rule Making and Order (NPRM), we address
eighteen petitions for rulemaking.1 The petitioners request that we
amend the Commission?s amateur radio service rules2 to implement revised
international Radio Regulations that were adopted at the 2003 World
Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-03).3 Most of the petitioners request
that we entirely or partially eliminate the requirement that an
individual must pass an international Morse code4 telegraphy
examination5 in order to qualify for certain classes of amateur radio
operator licenses.6 Others request that we either maintain the current
requirement or increase the speed in telegraphy that an individual
must demonstrate in order to qualify for certain classes of amateur
radio operator licenses. In addition, some petitioners request that we
establish a new class of operator license in the amateur service, or
otherwise modify the license structure or associated operating privileges."

- -and-

"Based upon the petitions and comments, we propose to amend our amateur
service rules to eliminate the requirement that individuals pass a
telegraphy examination in order to qualify for any amateur radio
operator license. We believe that this proposal, if adopted, would (1)
encourage individuals who are interested in communications technology,
or who are able to contribute to the advancement of the radio art, to
become amateur radio operators; (2) eliminate a requirement that we
believe is now unnecessary and that may discourage amateur service
licensees from advancing their skills in the communications and
technical phases of amateur radio; and (3) promote more efficient use
of the radio spectrum currently allocated to the amateur radio service.
We solicit comments on our tentative conclusions. We decline to propose
any other changes to amateur radio service licensing or operating
privileges in this proceeding."
