Greetings All, 	
	
I recently was the victim of a routine Mcafee virus definition file download.
The system was Windows 95b. There was no warning, but included in with the nien
virus definition update files was an alteration to the scan engine version
4.0.xx this made the Mcafee version 5.13 unuseable with Windows 95 (all
versions) and essentially crashed the system.	
	
Upon boot up the main screen showed an 'invalid page fault' relating to two
specific files. Some research turned up that a change in said scan engine had
indeed been made. Anyone who download the virus definition files in June and was
using Windows 95 had this happen.	
	
Warning! It will happen again in January 2005 when Windows 98 (all versions) is
dumped!	
	
Because of the associated issues for the blind and screen reading software usder
Windows XP Home Edition, I have decided to build as potent of a Windows 98
system as I can and keep it forever.	
	
What I need is somebody in the vicinity of Flint, Michigan who is reliable,
dependable and honest to build said machine. Do any of you have such sources to
share? Thank you.

SOLAR ACTIVITY WATCH: The Sun has been mostly quiet for weeks, but this
could soon change. One or more big sunspots are turning toward Earth,
raising the possibility of solar flares, geomagnetic storms and auroras in
the days and weeks ahead.

MORNING STAR: It's not easy waking up at dawn, but this week it's worth
doing. Venus, the "morning star," is absolutely brilliant in the eastern
sky around sunrise. On July 14th, Venus and the crescent moon will appear
side by side--a lovely sight. On July 15th Venus reaches maximum
brightness.  The planet is delightful to see through a telescope; it looks
like a tiny crescent Moon.

Visit http://SpaceWeather.com for more information, solar activity updates
and sky maps.

The Lowell Amateur Radio Club set it's sights high when it made the 145.27
repeater the multi-site machine that it is today.  We are forging ahead with
an equally positive agenda which includes the purchase of two items, a
better transmit amplifier for Lowell transmitter site, and radio service
monitor.  Since these items total about $16,000.00, we have asked for help
from the Lowell Community Fund.  They have responded with an offer to match
every donated dollar that we receive, up to $8000.  Now, we must turn to our
friends in the Amateur Radio community.



The purchase of this equipment will certainly strengthen the infrastructure
of Amateur Radio operations in our area.  The dollar for dollar match by
Lowell Community Fund will really add punch to your tax-deductible
contribution.  Please help, any amount will be greatly appreciated.



With your contribution, please include your name; return address and the
words, "For LARC grant equipment".

I was on the air today on forty meters at 1648 UTC, 12:48 EDT, when the X2 solar
flare wiped out HF communications. I noted with interest that Space Weather
shows the time this happened as 1650 UTC. Now according to WWV, this is not the
correct time!	
	
Why did the time show as 1648 UTC on WWV just as the X-ray burst wiped
everything out, and Space Weather later show it two minutes later?

On July 14th the SEOC Msys system 145.76 port will be converted to the New
Winlink 2000 computer system. This is so stations can upgrade their local
EOC's to the new format.  Msys systems will not be able to directly connect
to the SEOC for forwarding.  Connections to the SEOC Mail system will have
to
be made using the Master Winlink server at Wa1lrl.  Station running forward
type bbs software can forward to one of the main systems that connect to the
SEOC on the 220 frequencies so messages may be sent to the SEOC Msys
system.  This will allow traffic on 145.76 to be relayed to the SEOC on 220.

Stations wishing to upgrade to the new capability should contact WA1LRL for
software installation help and configuration for the network. The Paclink
software may be downloaded from the emergency page at www.winlink.org.

Ed may be reached at 313.477.2733 Please call at resonable times.  Thanks.
You may also join the Winlink Conference every Wednesday evening at 8 PM Lo
cal time on the *W8FSM* Echolink conference.  See you there.

Space Weather News for July 19, 2004

The sunspot number soared this weekend when new sunspot 652 emerged over
the sun's eastern limb. This active region is big, about the size of the
planet Jupiter, and easily seen from Earth. Warning: Don't look directly
at the sun; doing that could blind you. Instead, try the safe solar
observing techniques described at spaceweather.com.

With the emergence of sunspot 652, there are now two regions on the sun
that pose a threat for strong solar flares (sunspot 649 is the other one).
High levels of solar activity are possible this week.

Although I probably have not been real active in the MI Packet network on 
145.76
I do check into the Lapeer EOC MSYS and find that there are no new messages,
no new traffic, no new users, etc.

After reading a bit about Winlink, I find it hard to believe that after the 
"featureless"
MSYS, the state EOC's would go to another system that is mail based and with
no other features that I would consider a benefit.
Features like:
Announce where the announcement goes to everyone
                 who is connected,
Talk where two users who are connected can talk to each other,
Chat with chat groups where a group or groups of users can have
                 their own chat conference (like JNOS or MIRC),
WX weather announcement that can be used for WX alerts, an
                 alert when a user has new mail, etc.,
Users can use any Packet Terminal program from YAPP to
                 HyperTerminal - anything that talks to a TNC,
The BBS / node software runs on Windows or Linux,
It's customizable for how you want to use it,
and .....
It's free.

Yep ..... It's totally beyond me.

Space Weather News for July 23, 2004
http://spaceweather.com

Hours after a coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetic field on
July 22nd, a geomagnetic storm began, sparking auroras over parts of North
America.  Sky watchers spotted Northern Lights as far south as Minnesota,
Washington and Michigan in the United States. Some particularly nice
purple auroras appeared over Wisconsin.

The giant sunspot that triggered this activity is now crossing the middle
of the sun and could unleash more strong solar flares and CMEs in the days
ahead. Amateur astronomers using safe solar observing techniques should
have no trouble seeing the 'spot, which is wider than the planet Jupiter.

Visit Spaceweather.com for safe sunspot observing tips and up-to-date
photos of auroras.

SPACE WEATHER ADVISORY OUTLOOK #04- 30
2004 July 26 at 04:34 p.m. MDT (2004 July 26 2234 UTC)

**** SPACE WEATHER OUTLOOK ****

Summary For July 19-25
Space weather reached severe levels this period.  Category R1 (minor)
radio blackouts were observed on 22 through 25 July and R2 (moderate)
radio blackouts were observed on 20 and 25 July due to solar flare
activity from active sunspot Region 652.  Category G1 (minor) (22 - 24
July), G2 (moderate) (23 and 25 July), G3 (strong) (25 July), and G4
(severe) (25 July) geomagnetic storming occurred due to clouds of
magnetic material from numerous solar flares on the Sun that impacted
Earth.  A category S1 (minor) solar radiation storm was observed on 25
July due to solar flare activity from active sunspot Region 652.

Outlook For July 28-August 3
Space weather for the next week is expected to reach moderate levels.  A
complex sunspot cluster is currently visible on the Sun and has the
potential to produce R1 (minor) and R2 (moderate) radio blackouts in
addition to S1 (minor) and S2 (moderate) solar radiation storms.  There
is a chance for category G1 (minor) and G2 (moderate) geomagnetic
storms due to high speed solar winds from a coronal hole on the Sun and
from clouds of magnetic material from solar flares on the Sun.

Is anybody out there interested in being the new owner of a Radio Shack HTX-404
handheld 440 unit? I believe it was manufactured by Icom. It has a new Lithium
battery, a $16 item, used to retain user program functions. It is fully
functional and in excellent cosmetic condition. Original manual, AA battery
pack, rechargeable battery and charger. Asking $65 plus shipping.
