Message-ID: Jim, I think the point is that in 1982 you could tune in FM radio stations on your portable device, the Walkman, but Apple is being a pain in the butt about enabling the chip already onboard its iPhones that allow you to tune in FM radio on your portable device. To be sure, one could stream any number of "FM" stations' through one's wifi/cell data service, but that tends to consume quite a bit of data. Enabling the FM chip lets you listen for "free," ads included, while using your data for other purposes. Alex ~~~ Alexander B. Magoun, Ph.D., Outreach Historian IEEE History Center Samuel C.

All the surplus dealers will not ship outside the US anymore. I sell on ebay (the global shipping service) and have had for instance BC312s every once in a while get pulled and declared they can not leave the country ( this is due to the ITAR's and an overly jealous person who does not understand the regulations). Last what really killed the surplus aircraft gear market was the change in the rules that prohibited a US citizen from bidding on surplus military aircraft. Ever since WW2 we could bid on surplus aircraft, and what we did with them was up to us. We could take them apart or we could bring them up to spec and as long as they met FAA regulations we could fly them. Not anymore though. Now this should not be confused with buying a military war bird from a aircraft dealer as you can still own a military aircraft but you just cannot buy it from the government to begin with, you have to buy it thru a broker. > > your editor can call me and ask me questions if he likes, as this is a complicated story that needs to be told. 520-982-7073 Frank > > > -----Original Message----- > From: ROBERT FORTE > To: Frank Zavada > Sent: Fri, Feb 24, 2017 6:30 am > Subject: Re: MY ARTICLE FOR PUBLICATION IN THE "NEW JERSEY ANTIQUE RADIO CLUB" > > FRANK, I WILL SUBMIT EVERYTHING YOU SENT TO OUR EDITOR; I THINK HE IS GOING TO CHOP SOME OF OUR WORDS OUT, AS THE THIS ARTICLE MAY BE GETTING TOO LONG.

The military surplus houses back (the surplus houses in NY all over) then where buying new radios that where never installed. The military warehouses where full of new radios, They where full of everything. They wanted to get rid of them so they almost gave them away. they sold them by the box car load, reason why so many surplus houses back them where located near a railroad siding. No one wanted the radios they where removing from the aircraft, the scrappers where holding on to them with the hopes someday some would want them. After a time they just gave up as the pile of radios became just to big to deal with. for instance around 2008 thru 2010 I think, I saw at least 6 wood large wooden pallets of ART 13 transmitters at least 7 to 8 high sitting out in the sun un protected for years, just sitting there. > > The ITAR's came shortly after 911 I think, the buying up of the aircraft surplus scrappers came about 4-5 years ago, and was driven by homeland security. In Tucson there is one company that shred's the aircraft and then smelts down the remains, it is all done at one facility. Prior to 911 the country was on a kick to de mil radios and in the beginning it was remove a module or take out a meter something easy and random, however if you bought enough you where able to get enough parts to make a good portion of the pile good again. Then they started doing more serious stuff and now they sometimes take a torch to the como gear and cut a good size hole in it to make sure no one can make it good again. > > A military unit that wanted to get rid of como gear, was common to declare it in usable and dump it into the scrap metal bin, as the paper work to get it off there inventory was easier. This is how much green more current manpac radios and components got out. People working in the scrappers yard would see the green radios and call a surplus house send them a picture of what they saw and if it was anything good the surplus house would buy the scrap from the scrapper. DOD caught on to this practice and now send a noncom along with any green radios scrap to see they are shredded. Truth is now most green radios (for example PRC 150's) have encryption built into the mother boards so you could not use them on the ham bands even if you could get them. These should not be confused from some PRC 150s that where built for commercial service not military and do not have the encryption built into them. > > aircraft scrappers/aircraft recyclers (used aircraft components) bought the aircraft from the DMRS military boneyards. > > Abut 5 years ago they changed the rules to not allow US citizen's to bid on aircraft for scrap, but only registered companies, and the only registered companies they would registered, seemed to have to have a shredding machine and a smelter. By controlling who they registered they controlled who could bid on the aircraft. The mom and pop aircraft scrappers where left holding the bag so to speak, that where dotted all over Tucson at one time, are all but gone now. they can not bid or get the aircraft to scrap for parts, because they can not get registered. they do not qualify > > I think you are doing a good job of it. > > Frank > > -----Original Message----- > From: ROBERT FORTE > > To: Frank Zavada > > Sent: Thu, Feb 23, 2017 2:28 pm > Subject: MY ARTICLE FOR PUBLICATION IN THE "NEW JERSEY ANTIQUE RADIO CLUB" > > FRANK, FOR YOUR REVIEW; PASS ON YOUR THOUGHTS TO ME, ROBERT > ?READ THIS AND WEEP? > LAST NOVEMBER I SPENT ABOUT 10 DAYS IN TUCSON, ARIZONA, THE PLACE FOR SUN, CACTUS, GREAT MEXICAN FOOD, AND A FEW OF MY RELATIVES. BOUGHT A MOBILE HOME THERE AND USED THE PLACE FOR SEVEN YEARS AS A WINTER RETREAT FROM THE COLD WINTER CLIMATE IN THE UPSTATE NEW YORK ADIRONDACKS. > WHILE THERE, ONE PERSON I WANTED TO SEE WAS FRANK, WHO I SAW ON A MRCA BLURB, WITH A PICTURE OF ABOUT 150 BC455?S AND ARC-5 RADIOS, PILED UP ON ONE ANOTHER. PERHAPS I COULD SNATCH AN ARC-5/R-24, A BC BAND SET. AS HE IS LOCATED JUST NORTH OF TUCSON, AND HE WAS RECEPTIVE TO ME, A MEETING WAS ARRANGED. NOW FRANK, WHILE VERY CONGENIAL, IS A PRIVATE KIND OF GUY; HIS BACKGROUND IS OFF LIMITS TO DISCUSSION, EXCEPT TO SAY HE HAS LED A VARIED AND INTERESTING LIFE. HE HAS AN E.E. DEGREE, WAS MADE A PILOT IN THE MILITARY, AND HAD HIS OWN MANUFACTURING BUSINESS. NOW RETIRED, HE REPAIRS OLD MILITARY GEAR, and VISITS THE AIRCRAFT ?BONEYARDS?, THE LAST RESTING PLACE FOR MILITARY AIRCRAFT, SCOURING FOR BOAT ANCHORS AND OTHER PARTS. > HIS WORKSHOP, TO ME, IS NOT VERY EXTENSIVE, BUT ONE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT CAUGHT MY EYE IS A SERVICE MONITOR, WHICH HAS A SCOPE, SIGNAL GENERATOR, AUDIO GENERATOR, SPECTRUM ANALYZER, AND AN IONIZED RHODIUM GAS OSCILLATOR, WHICH CAN GENERATE A SIGNAL WITHIN ONE CYCLE/SECOND UP TO 15 MHZ. RHODIUM, LIKE CESIUM, ITS COUSIN, WILL DECAY PREDICTABLY AND ACCURATELY, AND AS YOU KNOW, CESIUM IS USED IN THE ATOMIC CLOCK IN FORT COLLINS, COLORADO, BECAUSE OF THIS PROPERTY. THIS H-P RHOBIDIUM STANDARD POWERS UP IN 3 SECONDS, AND IS USED TO ACCURATELY ALIGN MARS, NATIONAL BRANDS, HAM, AND MARINE EQUIPMENT. > NOW FOR THE CRUX OF THIS STORY. MANY YEARS AGO, POST WW2, MILITARY RADIOS FROM AIRCRAFT WERE ACTUALLY (LITERALLY) TOSSED TO THE GROUND FROM THE AIRPLANE, , DISCARDED AS JUNK. BUYERS WERE ONLY INTERESTED IN THE CONNECTING CABLES, FOR THE COPPER THEREIN. RADIOS HAD LITTLE SALVAGEABLE COPPER, SO WERE TOSSED! THE MILITARY?S PROCESS TO DISPOSE OF EXCESS aircraft , AT THE TIME, WAS AS FOLLOWS:ONCE A MONTH A FLYER WOULD GO OUT TO BID ON (AND BUY) SURPLUS AIRPLANES. AIRCRAFT ?scrappers re cyclers? WOULD BUY THESE PLANES AND TOW THEM TO THEIR SITES, USUALLY AROUND TUCSON. FROM THERE, THESE AIRPLANES WOULD EITHER be refurbished if in the cago type capacity or refurbished into a cago plane. A bomber or fighter can not be sold but needs to be converted into a cargo plane. MOst of the aircraft that I remember being sold where the amphibian type and the C130 type aircraft but only after they where completely gone thru and re fitted.(SOLD) TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES (LIKE THE C-130), OR WOULD BE CHOPPED UP AND SOLD FOR SCRAP, OR GO FOR SALVAGE AND SOLD AS SUCH (RADIOS, OTHER PARTS). THERE WAS LITTLE INTEREST, IN THE PAST, FOR THESE RADIOS. > AFTER 9/11, EVERYTHING CHANGED DRASTICALLY. NO MORE BIDDING. THE NEW ?ITAR? REGS CAME INTO EFFECT. INTERNATIONAL TRADE ARMS REGULATIONS. A BLANKET COVERAGE FOR MILITARY SURPLUS, WHICH NOW INCLUDED RADIOS. THEY WERE LUMPED IN WITH CRUISE MISSILES! ALL SURPLUS GEAR IS NOW SOLD TO A SHREDDING COMPANY, WHICH SHREDS THE METAL AND SELLS IT TO Aan ot be sold SMELTER. THIS INCLUDES RADIOS. AN NCO (NON COMMISSIONED OFFICER) ACTUALLY STANDS BY OBSERVING THE SHREDDING, TO CERTIFY IT IS DONE. ONLY THE RADIOS ALREADY IN THE BONEYARDS WERE AVAILABLE FOR SURPLUS SALES, NOTHING AFTER 9/11. HENCE THEY ARE SCARCE AND GETTING SCARCER. > TODAY THERE ARE 4 BONEYARDS IN TUCSON, 2 IN PHOENIX, AND 7 IN THE REST OF ARIZONA THAT FRANK GOES TO. ALL ARE HAZARDOUS WASTE SITES (LEAKING FLUIDS FROM THE PLANES) SO THE LAND IS NOT VALUABLE, AND ACTUALLY A LIABILITY. THESE BONEYARDS ARE A DYING BREED, AND ARE CLOSING DOWN. > THANKS TO FRANK, I SPENT A MORNING GOING THRU AN AIRCRAFT BONEYARD IN TUCSON, NEAR DAVIS-MONTHAN AFB. CLIMBING THRU OLD PLANES, GOING THRU A WAREHOUSE (SEE PICTURES). BETWEEN THE SCORPIONS AND RATTLESNAKES, THE SITE IS LITERALLY A JUNKYARD. AND THO THE LAND IS VALUABLE, LOCATED WHERE IT IS, IN REALITY IT IS TOXIC DUMP. > SO HOW DO WE GET RATHER NEW MILITARY RADIOS I SEE OUT THERE? RECENT STUFF? FRANK EXPLAINED THAT IF A MILITARY CONTRACTOR GETS AN ORDER FOR SAY, 1000 RADIOS, HE WILL ACTUALLY MAKE 1100. IF, DURING THE CHECKOUT PROCESS, SOME ARE NOT UP TO SPEC, THE COMPANY WILL DRAW FROM THE EXTRA 100 MADE, RATHER THAN SPEND TIME TRYING TO TROUBLE SHOOT AND REPAIR . THESE LEFTOVERS ARE THEN SOLD TO THE military surplus houses. This is how Toronto Surplus gets all its Harris radios and parts. A PROFIT AND TO NOT HAVE THE INVENTORY AT THE END OF THE YEAR ( FOR TAX PURPOSES). > AND AS FOR THE 150 OR SO ARC-5?S I CAME TO SEE, THEY WERE ALL SOLD AS ONE UNIT. GONE TO ONE BUYER.

I've been helping a youngster who I met during his visit with his mom to the RTM. He's 8 years old and collects old phones! He has a fair assortment, and I fixed four for him. I'm putting together a "box o parts" for him, but although I have every conceivable phone part, I don't have any of these. Look at it as keeping the younger generation interested in technology history. He truly amazed me with his knowledge of phones. As an example, I kludged together two RJ45 connectors and a 9 volt battery so he could connect two phones together to use as an intercom. He quickly noticed that I used RJ45s instead of RJ11s! I'll be at Princeton and the Parsippany. Thanks, Bill. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We agree to the below terms that you set forth in order to make your event as successful as possible under the circumstances. I will set up a meeting with Chris Tarris at Radisson Nashua as soon as possible on either Monday or Tuesday to move forward. We are all truly sorry for the damage this has caused your event and truly apologize. Sincerely, STEVE MORABITO | Director of Sales **************************************************************************************************** NEARC had put a ton of money and countless hours of effort into moving RADIO XLVIII to the Marriott, to come to this. The bottom line is: The Marriott double booked the Event Center on Saturday and Sunday for The New Hampshire Home Show, and Sunday for RADIO XLVIII. Now, before you go all ballistic, the top 100 of you with a problem about this can?t hold a candle to how bad Steve, Anna, and I feel. The Marriott has done everything in their power to resolve this problem. So, suck it up a little, don?t get POed, and let?s go on and make RADIO XLVIII the best RADIO show ever ! As you know, RADIO always goes on- Rain. shine, and now a new, new location change. Everything remains the same for RADIO XLVIII except the location change. RADIO XLVIII on March 5, 2017 has been moved to: The Radisson 11 Tara Blvd (NH Route 3 Exit 1) Nashua, NH 03062 Phone (603) 888-9970 https://www.radisson.com/nashua-hotel-nh-03062/nhnashua The Radisson looks like a Huge Castle. It was formerly known as ?The Tara?, and can easily be seen from Route 3 in either direction at Exit 1. This Event Runs Rain or Shine at the new Radisson location. Timing, Table Layout, and all other information about RADIO XLVIII remains the same. The only thing changing is the new Radisson location! Please alert anyone you know who is going! ***************************************************** Directions to the new Radisson location coming from the south(Massachusetts): Merge onto US-3 N via the ramp on the left toward Nashua NH (Crossing into New Hampshire). Take the Spit Brook Rd exit, EXIT 1, toward S Nashua. Then 0.49 miles Turn left onto Spit Brook Rd. Then 0.30 miles. Turn right onto Tara Blvd. Then 0.08 miles Take the 1st right to stay on Tara Blvd. The Radisson is a HUGE CASTLE ! If you haven?t seen it by now, I can?t help you! **************************************************** Directions to the new Radisson location coming from the North(New Hampshire) : 1) Merge onto Everett Tpke S (Portions toll). 2) Take the Spit Brook Rd exit, EXIT 1, toward S Nashua.Then 1.12 mile2 mi. 3) Keep right to take the Spit Brook Rd ramp toward Tara Blvd. 4) Turn right onto Spit Brook Rd. 5).

The table layout at the Radisson will be as close as possible to the published layout at the Marriott. If you booked a room with RADIO XLVIII at the Marriott already, an equal to or better room is being booked for you at the Radisson. The only difference is that the Marriott is picking up the bill for your room at the new Radisson location. You have not, and will not be charged for a room at the Marriott, and your room at the new Radisson location is free. If you still want a room Saturday night at the new Radisson location, you can book it at the Radisson (at the Marriott Agreed $99 rate) by calling the Radisson at (603) 888-9970 and mentioning RADIO XLVIII. Someone is bound not to receive this information and go to the Marriott Sunday morning. The Marriott will display large (4?) signs stating that RADIO XLVIII was moved to the Radisson (with address and apology): a) At both road entrances to the Marriott b) Outside the main entrance to the Marriott c) Outside the main entrance to the Marriott Event Center These signs will be in place no later than noon on Wednesday 3/1/2017, and will remain in place through Monday 3/6/2017. The Marriott will have printed directions available (From the Marriott to the Radisson) for anyone who shows at The Marriott looking for RADIO XLVIII. Silver linings in these clouds: 1) The new Radisson location is 6 miles closer for the 80% of people coming from the south. 2) If you had your act together and previously booked a room at the Marriott, your room is now at the new Radisson location, and it has been paid for by the Marriott. 3) The Marriott will reimbursed NEARC for RADIO XLVIII at the new Radisson location. Remember, what doesn?t kill you makes you strong. I?ll see you at the Radisson on March 5th for RADIO XLVIII, Bruce Phillips President NEARC (603) 772 7516 Below is other modified info from the Insider I started to write this week, and the previous Insider: The current projected weather for RADIO XLVIII shows partly cloudy 32 degrees Saturday night, and about 45 degrees on Sunday.

Message-ID: Hey all. I'm working on the boards in an old Stern pinball machine and I need to replace some components that were damaged by a leaking NiCad. They are silicon controlled rectifiers. They can be any of the following: MCR106-1 MCR106-6 MCR106-8G NTE5411 2N6236 TO-225 TIC106Y Anybody know of a place in South Jersey where I can get them? Worst case scenario, I'll drive up to IEI.
