Message-ID: <002f01c38802$df4ec760$4fcbfa40@shack>

I'm sending this out to everyone I know that may use E-bay.
I have been receiving these "SPOOFED" e-mails. I contacted
E-bay and received the following back. Don't respond to any requests
for any personal info.

I have copied both replys from E-bay to my e-mail. Sorry it is a little
long.

Have a good day.

Bob k5sit   73

Thank you for contacting eBay's Trust & Safety Department about an email
you received from an address that includes '@ebay.com' but that may not
be an authentic email from eBay.  We will investigate this situation
immediately.

Please be advised that there have been cases where people have attempted
to gain access to an eBay member's personal information by sending
"spoof" emails. Spoof emails intentionally give the false impression
that they have been sent by eBay to solicit people to transmit their
account information. Based on your inquiry to eBay's Trust and Safety
Department, the email you received was likely a spoof.

eBay is very concerned about spoof email and is taking prompt action to
address the issue. If you think you may have entered personal
information into a spoof site, we advise you to review the information
at the web address below, which contains more detailed information about
the following steps:

 http://pages.ebay.com/help/confidence/problems-identity-theft.html

1.  Change your eBay password and email account password

Periodically changing your password is one of the most effective ways to
maintain security on any Web site. If you think there is a possibility
of a breach in your account security, we strongly suggest that you begin
by changing your password.

2.  Forward the email to Spoof@ebay.com

If you haven't already done so, please forward a copy of the email,
(which will include the full header), to spoof@ebay.com. Forwarding the
email will help us investigate this matter more quickly. Please do not
forward the email as an attachment or alter the subject line in any way.
For more information on how to identify a header, please visit:

 http://pages.ebay.com/help/basics/information.html

3. Protect your identity

If you entered information such as your social security number or credit
card numbers into a web site that you were directed to via a spoofed
email, you need to take immediate action to protect your identity. The
following web sites have valuable information on the steps you should
take to protect yourself:

 eBay Help:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/confidence/problems-identity-theft.html
 U.S. Government ID Theft Site:
http://www.consumer.gov/idtheft/victim.htm
 BBB ID Theft Site:
http://www.newyork.bbb.org/identitytheft/newscams.html

As we move forward with our investigation, we will contact you if we
need further information.  In order to dedicate resources to
investigating this type of situation, please submit any other questions
or concerns through our Help System, which can be accessed by clicking
on the Help button at the top of any eBay page.

*Please do not respond to this email as your reply will not be received.
If you need to contact us again, please use the eBay Help system.

We appreciate your efforts in helping keep eBay a safe online
marketplace.

Regards,

eBay Trust & Safety Team


Hello,

Thank you for contacting eBay's Trust and Safety Department about email
solicitations that are falsely made to appear to have come from eBay.
These emails, commonly referred to as "spoof" messages, are sent in an
attempt to collect sensitive personal information from recipients who
reply to the message or click on a link to a Web page requesting this
information.

The email you reported did not originate from, nor is it endorsed by,
eBay. We are very concerned about this problem and are working
diligently to address the situation. We have investigated the source of
this email and have taken appropriate action. You may rest assured that
your account standing has not changed and that your listings have not
been affected.

We advise you to be very cautious of email messages that ask you to
submit information such as your credit card number or your email
password. eBay will never ask you for sensitive personal information
such as passwords, bank account or credit card numbers, Personal
Identification Numbers (PINs), or Social Security numbers in an email
itself. If you ever need to provide information to eBay please open a
new Web browser, type www.ebay.com, and click on the "site map" link
located at the top the page to access the eBay page you need.

If you have any doubt about whether an email message is from eBay,
please forward it immediately to spoof@ebay.com and do not respond to it
or click on any of the links in the email message. Please do not change
the subject line or forward the email as an attachment.

If you entered personal information such as your password, social
security number or credit card numbers into a Website based on a request
from a spoofed email, you need to take immediate action to protect your
identity. We have developed an eBay Help page with valuable information
regarding the steps you should take to protect yourself.

To get to the "Protecting Your Identity" Help page from the eBay site,
please click on the "help" link located at the top of most eBay pages
and select the following topics when the "eBay Help Center" window
appears:

 Safe Trading > If Something Goes Wrong > Identity Theft

We encourage you to review additional information about protecting your
identity found in the eBay Help system. Please click on the "help" link
located at the top of most eBay pages and select the following topics
when the "eBay Help Center" window appears:

 Safe Trading > If Something Goes Wrong& > Account Theft > Account
Protection

Once again, thank you for alerting us to the spoof email you received.
Your vigilance helps us ensure that eBay remains a safe and vibrant
online marketplace.
Regards,

Ian
eBay SafeHarbor
Investigations Team

Hi ya guys,

I did this once before and received a negitive e-mail because I did. The one
person
that does not like this can just hit the delete key. I sent a small check in
today. Maybe the
club should consider sending in a check. This is a great service and the
members of the OKDXA
seem to like using it. As always just use your own judgement about the
e-mail asking for help.

Hi Guys,

My opinion remains unchanged. Al made a big deal of "Free" and is now
attempting
to make a business of it.  Had to happen.  Thought we were the "wireless"
genre.

For what it's worth  -  -  -

Guys,
This sounds like something that could go a couple of ways...probably 
something that would want to be brought up at the OKDXA meeting after the banquet?  
But, the way I see it,
the club should vote on whether to start making a scheduled donation to 
QTH.NET or
perhaps consider an alternate venue?  It might not be possible but, if it is, 
I'd think we'd
want to consider setting up our posts where they'd go via the same web 
hosting service
that is used by Jerry for the W5 Incoming QSL Bureau and the OKDXA...Jerry 
would, 
of course, be the one who could give us insight into the possibility of going 
this route,
assuming, of course, that it wouldn't put us "in the red" as far as our 
access limitations
on the webhosting service...

I've already sent something, but here is my latest submission (for all the 
good it will do...):

Broadband over powerlines (BPL) while philosophically attractive, has been 
shown to have disastrous implications for those services already occupying 
the spectrum between 2 and 80 MHz. Implementation of BPL in its current 
form simply must not be allowed to proceed. The interference potential has 
been clearly demonstrated by the American Radio Relay League.

As a pilot, I can only imagine the havoc that would ensue if 
radionavigation signals are corrupted (there are a surprising number of 
radionavigation signals in the upper end of this spectrum). Also, all HF 
services to aviation would be seriously impacted, as HF aviation 
communication is commonly used and could become unusable at any Air Route 
Traffic Control center (ARTCC) near powerlines carrying BPL. Military 
communications in HF could be seriously degraded as well, as would any 
other Government communications that utilize HF, such as FEMA, the National 
Hurricane Center, and many branches of NOAA, to name a few.

Finally, the Amateur Radio Service would be seriously compromised by 
adopting BPL. The utility of the Amateur Radio Service for emergency 
communications would effectively be nullified by BPL. The original Part 15 
regulations that limit unlicensed emmissions never anticipated this sort of 
interference potential, and reliance on that standard by the proponents of 
BPL is at best disingenuous and at worst deceptive.

To all:

Sure had a great time at the Banquet last weekend, and I hope everyone had 
a safe trip home.

Those of you who attended should be familiar with the information provided 
by our Oklahoma Section Manager, John Thomason - WB5SYT.  In reference to 
bills HR713, HR1478, and S537, I had mentioned to a couple of you that 
someone should prepare a standard letter that members could send to our 
congressmen and senators, but that was before I had a chance to read all of 
the information.  As noted in John's letter, there are "sample" letters 
available at the ARRL government page, or you can request the text from 
Eddie Manley at jema1@sbcglobal.net.

For those of you that were unable to attend, or that may not be familiar 
with this legislation, you can find information on these issues at the 
ARRL's government pages http://www.arrl.org/govrelations or at U.S. 
Congress on the Internet http://thomas.loc.gov .


House bills

HR713 - Amateur Radio Spectrum Protection Act of 2003
HR1478 - Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Consistency Act of 2003


Senate bill

S537 - Amateur Radio Spectrum Protection Act of 2003


All of these bills have been in committee for some time, and none of them 
have been sponsored by any member of the Oklahoma delegation.  Let's not 
allow this legislation to die in committee.  Write or call your 
representatives today!

Hi All,

A little retrospective, for those who missed the banquet. We had a full
house, and I believe a good time was had by all. I had the pleasure of
presenting two awards this year. Our DX-er of the year is W5ATV Dave
Ratliff, our past President. Dave has given two years of excellent service
to the group, sacrificed much of his own time for the good of the group, was
instrumental in making the Oklahoma QSO Party a reality, put in countless
hours with the bureau as a pre-sorter, and some how found time to get his
first DXCC certificate. Good show Dave! A very deserving recipient of the
award.

The second award is a new one for OKDXA. We awarded a Lifetime Achievement
Award to W5NUT Gil Wood. Gil was first licensed in 1947, the year I was
born. Over the years he has confirmed 380 countries, with 375 on 20 meters
alone. He is still active on the bands, and working stuff nearly every day.
Everyone in the Shawnee area knows Gil as an Elmer, mentor, technical guru,
and friend. He has been my inspiration!

I look forward to the Banquet each year, and hope that everyone has a chance
to attend at least one of them.

Clif,

Thanks for the report on the banquet!  Made me wish I had been there to
celebrate the achievements of the deserving fellows that got the awards!!

Thanks again for letting us out here in the far West reaches of Okie land
have a taste of the banquet.

cu, Bart

This is a warning for Oklahoma DX Association members to be cautious about
doing business with Radio Outfitter of  Overland Park, KS.  I ordered a
Crushcraft A103 from them via the internet last week.  Their website showed
it to be in stock and at the lowest price I could find.  I had found it
listed at other suppliers but they did not have it in stock.  I wanted it by
this week. They immediately confirmed my order and charged my credit card.
After a week and two phone calls initiated by me, I have found that they are
not going to honor my order.  They told me that the item is no longer
available.  My interpretation is that they do not want to honor their
published price because the item is certainly still available from the
manufacturer, Crushcraft.  Their website still shows it to be in stock.

It is not a big deal but it also is not a proper way to do business.

Hello, All...
I would like to encourage everyone who took pictures at the
2003 OKDXA Banquet at Terry's Cafe in Midwest City to consider
sending some of them over to me for publication on the OKDXA
website...I've already received pictures from some of you and I
appreciate that...the first pictures will ready for viewing
soon, possibly as early as tonight (click on PICTURES on the main page or use the link at the bottom of this email...Thanks
Gene N5CE

P.S.  I realize it's ONLY October but it's not too early to
start pondering what YOU can and will do in the OK QSO Party!
There's 77 OK counties out there just begging for you to put them on the air during that event! :-)

In regard to the email below:

Mr Ed McCullugh of Radio Outfitter has contacted me and explained that none
of their normal supply sources had the A103 in stock.  He said that I should
have been immediately informed of that situation but as happens it fell in a
crack.  Immediate communication would have prevented any dissatisfaction.
He has since gone to other sources and found the A103 and is shipping it out
at his price.

After discussing it with Ed, I do not believe there was any intent to
mislead but only a breakdown in communications by not immediately informing
me and in the answer I got on my phone call.

Jim

Hello OKDXA members,

Just a note to thank all of you for allowing me to serve as your President
the past couple of years.

I have learned some things and made some mistakes <cough> and made a lot of
new friends.

I had a wonderful time at the banquet and hope you did too. Also many thanks
for the Amateur of the Year Award. It is already occupying a place of honor
in my shack.

The new administration is as follows:

President-Bruce Burnett/K5PX

Vice President-Jim Green/N5PMP

Vice President Activities-Gene Lewis/N5CE

Sec/Treasurer-Jerry Chouinard/K5YAA

The Board of Directors remain unchanged.

Lets all give the new administration the same great support that you have
given me.

Many Thanks to you all and a very big 73
Dave/W5ATV

A "For What it's Worth Comment"

Just completed uploading all my QSOs since 1995 to the LOTW.  I rate my 
computer skills as pretty good but had to argue with myself and some of the 
log files to get them in the system.  Mainly had to do with the Cabrillo 
format I had placed all my entries in.  Contest names have to be present in 
the log file and in preferences under the TQSL File menu.  After figuring 
that out all is going OK.  Probably answers to such questions on the web 
site but like manuals for new gear etc. I usually just turn the thing on 
and figure it out while using it.  ADIF outputs may be easier to manipulate.

Quite a number of confirmed contacts and the user site seems very responsive.

I went to the W5 DX Bash in Llano, TX last weekend.  It was a nice get
together.  The heavy rain some what put a damper on the social aspects.

I spent quite a lot of time with former OKDXA members K1ZA and N5PO.  John,
K1ZA (NJ1V) and Ruth were in Texas making plans for their retirement move to
Kerrville next year.

Lee, N5PO (W5UDA), is now in Weatherford, TX.  He is going to Vietnam for
the CQWW CW Contest.  Look for him starting about November 21 on CW.  His
call is XV2PO I think.

I have asked Lee to come to OKC sometime and show his slides of Vietnam and
Christmas Island.  Is anyone interested in getting together informally at
Terry's again to see the slides?  Maybe a Christmas dinner in December?  Let
me know?

I have uploaded 35,000 QSO's now using ADIF files.  The system works fine
but a person MUST read the directions and follow them exactly.  Even trying
my best I have made several errors.

It takes a few days to get started since you must apply by email, then wait
for a post card with a password.  This is part of the security to make sure
you are who you say you are.

I have had to send in copies of the licenses for my DX operations.  I hope
that posting the DX logs on LoTW will reduce the buro cards.

I encourage everyone to upload their logs.  It is a great idea and it works.
It will save a lot of postage money.

Good luck,

Jim

Yes, They both have good bureau service. The problem is that not all folks

James:

A few more cents worth of input on bureau systems.  Not knowing how 
familiar you may be with the outgoing and incoming bureau system here in 
the states here are 2 URLs you can visit.

http://www.remote.arrl.org/qsl/qslout.html

http://www.remote.arrl.org/qsl/qslin.html

and of course you probably have the one sponsored by the club.

http://www.okdxa.org/buro/

Lot's of info on all those pages.  We receive quite a few cards from South 
America in small bundles sent by individual operators and then others sent 
in "medium" size bundles from the actual bureaus.  Like all foreign bureaus 
it does take a good deal of time to see results from contacts.  First the 
operators have to take time to do their cards then the cards have to travel 
through the system.  Others in the OKDXA can confirm for you "It takes 
considerable time" to stack up the cards.  The best way to do it when 
you're getting started is to be on the air and work everything you 
hear.  This Saturday and Sunday is the CQ WW SSB contest.  You can pick up 
a bunch of countries in that one.

Message-ID: <002001c39a59$404d9920$5dfea8c0@central.cox.net>

QST de W1AW
To all radio amateurs

Big news this week is a colossal sunspot that appeared on Sunday,
October 19. It first emerged at about seven times the earth's
diameter, but two days later on Tuesday, it had grown to around the
size of Jupiter, which is equivalent to eleven earth diameters.
This is one of the largest sunspot groups to appear during the
current cycle 23. Along with this large spot have been coronal mass
ejections, keeping the earth's magnetic field upset, and an
additional spot by mid-week. An ejection caused a radio blackout on
Sunday around 1650z.

This is a big change from the recently spotless sun. Now a large
coronal mass ejection threatens, and the predicted arrival time is
Friday, October 24. This is not good news for contesters who hoped
to work the CQ Worldwide DX SSB Contest this weekend. Currently on
Thursday evening, the forecast is for a planetary A index of 50 for
Friday through Sunday, October 24-26, but this could be a modest
projection. Solar flux has risen since October 14 when it was only
92, and should top 200 by the middle of the coming week.

The growing solar activity is dramatic enough that it is now
national news. Check the following sites for articles.

http://www.msnbc.com/news/984388.asp?cp1=3D1

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/144998_solar23.html

.
html

The solar flux value of 191 shown below for October 22 is the value
measured at the Penticton observatory. The number from the NOAA
Space Environment Center was lowered to 154, probably because of a
flare enhancement to the Penticton reading. Those who keep records
may want to lower the value for that day to 154 from 191, which
would make the week's average for the daily solar flux 123.4 rather
than 128.7. Not shown here is the following day, October 23, when
the observatory at Penticton measured 209.3 and the SEC reported it
as 183. These seem to be estimates based upon the morning
measurements made three hours before local noon, which were both
around 154 and 183 for the two days.

Sean Blackburn, KB7OOH of Everett, Washington wrote to inquire about
a source for sunspot numbers to use with the W6ELprop software for
propagation prediction. The numbers are at,
http://www.sec.noaa.gov/ftpdir/indices/DSD.txt.

It is probably best to average several days of sunspot numbers to
use with this program.  As always, it is available free at.
http://www.qsl.net/w6elprop/.

For more information about propagation and an explanation of the
numbers used in this bulletin see the Propagation page on the ARRL
Web site at http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/propagation.html.

Sunspot numbers for October 16 through 22 were 28, 66, 91, 89, 113,
144 and 117, with a mean of 92.6. 10.7 cm flux was 95.2, 98.8,
108.6, 120.4, 135.1, 151.5 and 191, with a mean of 128.7. Estimated
planetary A indices were 26, 31, 27, 32, 30, 39 and 33, with a mean
of 31.1.

Let's get those letters going to ask for support on HR713, HR1478 and S537.

Info on these bills can be found at http://www.arrl.org/govrelations or at 
U.S. Congress on the Internet http://thomas.loc.gov

If you want a standard letter, you can find it at the ARRL government page 
(listed above), or you can request the text from Eddie Manley at 
jema1@sbcglobal.net.

The links Coy sent were broken in my e-mail program, so I am forwarding 
them again for those that might have had the same problem.  I hope they 
come through ok.  If not, try pasting the links together in separate pieces 
(the highlighted link and the part that isn't highlighted) into you 
browsers address line.  They are worth reading.

Also, I've listed addresses and phone numbers for all OK Senators and 
Congressmen.  If you prefer, you can e-mail these folks by going to their 
web sites and clicking on the Contact section.  NO EXCUSES!

Sure had a lot of fun in the CQ WW SSB test this weekend.  No records 
broken (except my own - hi hi), but lots of stations were on the air all 
weekend.  Hopefully our efforts will ensure that we can continue to enjoy 
our hobby in the future.

Bill,

Thanks for the note.  4W4W was a new one on 30.  About 30 minutes later 4W1SW 
came on the same frequency but was weaker that late in the morning.

I ordered a Tennadyne T-10 to replace the T-12 that I lost last year.  The 
boom is 24ft.  That is 6ft shorter than the T-12 and I hope with the truss 
rope, it will hold up in the ice storms.  :-)  I'm sure looking forward to 
getting a good antenna back in the air.  

I heard you come on the net last night after I closed it.  :-)  I'll have to 
wait around a little longer next week.  Mike and I chatted on frequency for a 
bit and when no one showed, I closed the net.  Then everyone started showing 
up.  I guess the time change threw everyone off.

Take care.

Coy

Out of interest I downloaded my "QSL" report from LoTW to see how my future 
electronic wallpaper is coming along.

Results:

50 states confirmed.
45 Countries
22 CQ Zones
224 Counties
2 Canadian Provinces

Glad to see the system getting "stuffed" with logs.

Subject: [OKDXA] RTTY Signal Near 10132 kHz?
Message-ID: <5.2.1.1.2.20031029093313.08503228@129.15.69.4>

Curiosity has gotten the better of me and after quite some time I have to 
ask: Does anyone know what the RTTY signal around 10132 kHz is?  I've tried 
all sorts of ways to decode it: 5 , 6 , 7 and 8 bits, 1, 1.5 and 2 stop 
bits, 45, 45.45, 50, 56, 75, 100, 110, 150, 200 and 300 baud (though it 
sounds slower than 100 baud). No success. Zilch. Mind you, the signal is 
almost certainly encrypted so I don't expect it to necessarily make sense, 
but I haven't found any combination that looks as if I'm decoding the 
characters properly. It's 850 Hz shift and so probably 
government/military.  It's also quite strong and so probably originating in 
NA, and it's there every night; maybe even 24/7.

What is it? Anybody have a clue?

I believe that was Bill/W5VW out in Burns Flat. He monitors the reflector
pretty regularly.
