I've got quite a lot of info on using the Kantronics D4-10 19.2kB radios, as that's the hardware we've been struggling with here. I'm now working heavily with Linux, and help run a TNOS/Linux BBS, and a Linux native-AX.25 switch. Although I'm not "the world's greatest authority" on either, I'd be happy to help folks with questions to the extent I can. I've developed some experience with full-duplex packet repeaters. I've built 2 19.2 repeaters, and am working on a 9600 baud one now. TAPR (Tucson Amateur Packet Radio) has formed a special interest group to discuss issues of regional packet networking (Net-SIG). As a result, the TAPR net-sig mailing list was born, and is now ready for operation. This list is intended to replace any of the existing packet-related mailing lists. Its purpose is provide a medium for communications among those interested in packet radio networking, both dealing with technical issues and political/regulatory ones. We'll discuss things like how the potential 219MHz band will fit into the networking picture, how to link areas using different networking schemes, how to set network parameters, etc. The list's charter will be posted there regularly. The address of the list is net-sig@tapr.org and you can subscribe by sending mail to listserv@tapr.org with the text "join netsig". Apart from subscribing to the list, you can contact me for further details about the Net-SIG (including upcoming conferences).

In inaugurating this new service, the League thanks Scott Ehrlich, WY1Z, and the other Boston Amateur Radio Club volunteers who've worked since December 1994 to keep ARRL up and coming on the Web via the ARRL home page they installed and maintained at oak.oakland.edu. Their volunteerism helped show us that upgrading our Internet connection to a level that allowed on-campus Web service would be essential to ARRL's mission of serving Amateur Radio.

Those of you that have talked with me via E-mail know that. But this time I've actually started on my rewrite of the callsign server at Buffalo. And I've finally got a design that I'm happy with. The new searching capabilities are going to be *much* improved over the current system. I'll be getting rid of the bugs in the current telnet system and making it available to more people. Also coming is a WWW front-end for web surfers. Time to step into the 90s. Part of the rewrite is an entire reorganization of the database look-up system. The old system was very specific to the FCC database format because that's all that was available when it was written (yes, the server is very, very old). But now there are a number of databases floating around the net for different countries and I am rewriting the system to be more flexible and to accommodate a variety of formats and search types. In doing so, I'll have the ability to add data for many more countries. That is, of course, if I have the data. In order to do this I need help. I need to get in touch with all people that have access to databases from countries other than the US. The more up-to-date these databases are, the better. If you have access to a database and would be willing to donate a copy to the callsign server for everyone to use, please contact me. A lot of people would genuinely appreciate it. The callsign server has become remarkably popular on the net and this has happened because the community has contributed so much to it over the many years it's been running. I have heard stories of reunions with old classmates, stories of silent-keys that have been remembered, and stories from blind hams doing simple look-ups of other hams, all possible because of the server. Congratulations to the community for making this system so useful. Work on this project has been delayed such that its completion time is somewhere in the indefinite future. In the meantime you can access the current server. Please direct all other feedback, submissions and administrivia regarding these services to my E-mail address above. _________________________________________________________________ Sid Boyce G3VBV szb50@amdahl.com AX.25: G3VBV@GB7NJR Voice: +44 121 422 0375 Work: +44 121 713 2200 Modem: +44 121 602 1372 58 Woodbury Road Halesowen West Midlands B62 9AW UK * Antennas (Indoor/Homebrew/Magnetic Loops) * Equipment Testing/Troubleshooting * HF/DX * Homebrewing * IBM PC's * Internet Services * Packet and Digital Networking * Power Supplies * UNIX I have been with Linux since it was first available.

I have one student now going for his General and prefer to teach the overall picture. I have done little or no benchwork on new equipment in the last 15 years. I'm still learning digital theory and techniques, but boards filled with chips do not evoke a sense of familiarity or recognition. I'm also still learning about the Internet. _________________________________________________________________ Chris Cieslak AA9HD ccieslak@ais.net ccieslak@uiuc.edu http://www.uiuc.edu/ph/www/ccieslak/ * Antennas * Batteries * Commercial Service Equipment * Morse Code * DX * Field Day * HF * Homebrewing * IBM PC's * Internet Services * Mobile * Novice/Tech Instruction * Packet Radio * Portable * Power Supplies * QRP * Repeaters * SSTV * Volunteer Examiner Programs (information about sessions) _________________________________________________________________ Joe Cira KB6AXK kb6axk@ix.netcom.com ARRL Affiliated Club Coordinator (ACC) for Los Angeles, California Sysop of HAM*INFO*LINK*SOURCE*BBS +1 (818) 584-1952 Free access, 24 hours a day, at most popular modem speeds Running Wildcat 4.01 on a 66 Mhz 486 with 2.1 GB of disk-space Featuring: * QSL Route Database * Club Info * Newsletters * Bulletins * Shareware * Equipment Modifications * Test Question Pools * VE exam and class lists for all of Southern California * Mirror of all files on the ARRL HQ BBS * and much more... _________________________________________________________________ Peter Coffee AC6EN pcc_csm@earthlink.net Work: +1 (310) 371-8096 Torrance, CA USA * Antennas (HF/VHF/UHF/Beams/Yagis) * HF/Contesting * CW * DSP * Field Day * Internet Services * RFI * VHF * Volunteer Examiner (ARRL VEC) * Youth ARRL Public Information Officer and Technical Specialist My interests include 6 meters, SWL, and VHF contesting.

At the very least, I can forward requests I can't handle to the proper people. The Proceedings of the 6th Computer Networking Conference has a paper by WA4DSY explaining the theory and practice of the 56 kBaud radio modem. (I think it's the 6th, I don't have my copy handy.) GRAPES furnishes instructions for modifying a TNC2 to drive the modem, but there are better solutions. The Ottawa PI card and the Gracilis PacketTwin card are two good solutions. Of course they are PC bus cards. If you need standalone capability, the Kantronics Data Engine can handle it, as can the incredible Gracilis PacketTen. PacComm claims their new Sprint TNC can, too (PacComm now also manufactures the Gracilis cards under license and you can get them either from them or from Gracilis direct). WA4DSY has interfaced raw telco codecs to the modems and done "digital voice" while mobile. It works quite well. If you want information on the RF modem (full document sets are $20 US, creditable towards a later order) write to GRAPES at GRAPES, Inc P.O. Box 636 Griffin, GA 30224-0636 USA GRAPES is a volunteer networking organization. There's no phone number, and turnaround on info requests may be slower than when dealing with commercial outfits. Please cut the volunteers a little slack. _________________________________________________________________ Derrick C.

Box 515525 Dallas, TX 75251-5525 USA * Batteries * Power Supplies I am a practicing electronics engineer (for over 35 years) with expertise in solving problems in the design of linear circuits, audio signal processors, low frequency (DC to 10 MHz), low noise, field effect devices, power supplies, batteries, and similar analog situations. I'd be glad to assist others in the solution of their electronic problems in these and tangential areas. I started in ham radio as a kid in the 50's, vacuum tubes, motor generators, and most everything related to WWII surplus equipment. Was a design engineer at Texas Instruments for several years in the heyday of discrete devices and linear integrated circuits, mostly for military and surveillance use. My present concentration is toward digital telephonic communications. Have now gotten pretty familiar with use of the Internet. I guess it goes without emphasis that my capability goes beyond the areas I listed as being most competent, but I could be a resource you may apply as you feel my experiences would be helpful. _________________________________________________________________ Kenneth Gunton WB6QWF keng@techlock.com wb6qwf@amsat.org http://www.techlock.com/ Voice: +1 (937) 434-5078 Work: +1 (937) 434-5078 FAX: +1 (937) 434-5079 Modem: +1 (937) 439-3660 270 Regency Ridge, Ste 206 Dayton, OH 45459 USA * AMSAT * Antennas (Microwave) * Commercial Service Equipment * Microwave Background in microwave and RF systems and components.

The results are in September 1994 QST, including warranty and customer service information for most automobile manufacturers (many of whom have published installation guidelines). I am also continuing to pursue more formal contacts and standards-making through the EMR and EMI Standards Committee of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), of which I am a member. Copies of General Motors installation guidelines are available. Saturn allegedly has a video on mobile installation, but none of the dealers seem to know about it. I have a call into one of my low friends in high places. :-) If anyone would like a copy of the GM installation guidelines, send a 9X12" SASE with two units of postage *and* a specific request for the "GM Installation Guidelines" to the ARRL Technical Department Secretary, 225 Main St, Newington, CT 06111, USA. A copy has been reprinted in the ARRL book -- Radio Frequency Interference -- How to Find It and Fix It. EMI/RFI Resource List and RFI Tips package available. A business SASE with 98 cents postage is appreciated. Please specify the desired documents in your correspondence. The FCC has released the results of a telephone interference survey just completed. If you would like a copy of the survey, which includes a list of telephone models checked, send an SASE with two units of first class postage to the Technical Information Service at ARRL HQ. Alternatively, you may obtain an electronic copy from the ARRL Info Server below. If leakage from your local Cable TV operator is interfering with the Amateur Radio Service, it is in violation of the provisions of Part 76 of the FCC regulations. I would first direct the problem toward the cable company system engineer or service manager. Chances are the "front-line" people who answer the phone don't know what you are talking about. If this is not effective, contact me here at ARRL HQ. I can put you in contact with our liaison to the National Cable Telecasters Association. This liaison will help your cable operator understand their responsibilities. For CATV interference problems in general, I recommend you obtain our Radio Frequency Interference Book. If you are a League Member, you can also get a copy of the ARRL Technical Information Service info package on CATVI -- "EMI/RFI - CATV" by sending a LARGE SASE with 3 stamps on it to the ARRL Technical Department Secretary, 225 Main St, Newington CT 06111, USA. This package is a reprint of an article I wrote for Communications Technology -- the Journal of the Society of Cable Television Engineers. We submitted it to "their" journal because we felt that it would carry more weight with the cable companies. If you have any questions after you have read the material, contact me here at HQ. I can usually get back to you within a few days to offer some additional help. Many EMI/RFI files are also available from the ARRL Info Server. See Mary Carcia's entry for more information. ARRL Technical Information Service Coordinator (tis@arrl.org) The ARRL Technical Information Service (TIS) is a valuable membership benefit that helps hams find answers to difficult technical questions. The answer to a ham's most common technical questions can be found in one of the many books about Amateur Radio. Folks who call or write to ARRL TIS staff are often referred to one of these books or to a past magazine article. However, most hams find that the fastest way to get the answer is to do their own research. Publication catalogs often talk about what kinds of information are available in different books. A few good books will answer the vast majority of questions as well as enhance a ham's knowledge and enjoyment of this fascinating hobby. Magazines are also a superb technical reference. An annual index of articles appears in the December issue of QST and other magazines. These indexes will usually have an article or two (or six) about a particular topic. If an older QST or QEX article is not available locally, the ARRL Technical Department Secretary can provide a copy for a small fee. Back issues are also available from the QST Circulation Department. The ARRL Technical Information Service is a valuable source of information and research for questions that cannot be answered by other means. ARRL TIS has information packages and bibliographies that are available on request to answer most technical questions. For those who want to know if something has been previously published on a particular subject, TIS can also assist with research to locate this information. TIS also helps locate companies that sell hard to find parts or supplies used in our hobby. Many TIS files are also available via the ARRL Info Server. See Mary Carcia's entry for more information. See Jon Bloom's entry for information about the ARRL World-Wide Web Home Page. _________________________________________________________________ Jim Harper KQ4RS kq4rs@d-k.com kq4rs@ns.gamewood.net +1 (804) 432-9500 P.O.

Ham Radio CDROM I am interested in receiving amateur-radio-related public-domain and/or shareware programs, data bfiles, frequency lists, etc., that would make a useful edition to the QRZ! CDROM. Can help arrange volume discounts for clubs and groups, and will donate copies of QRZ! to qualifying non-profit organizations. Send E-mail or call +1 (602) 483-2036. We now have the QRZ! FTP archive and QRZ! WWW server online, 24 hours a day. Our connection is via a T1 line so you should get pretty decent file transfer times. We've got about 7,000 files online, including radio mods, software, most everything imaginable. We are also accepting uploads of all ham radio related material. Feel free to stop by and have a look: * ftp://ftp.qrz.com/ * http://www.qrz.com/ (WWW interface to the FTP archive as well as a Callsign database server) Authors of ham radio shareware programs, data files, mods, etc., are invited to contribute their materials to the QRZ! anonymous FTP server above. I would also like to thank those who have volunteered in helping port the QRZ! source code to a wide variety of platforms. In the next edition, we'll have support for DOS, Windows, OS/2, Windows NT, Sun, NeXT, SGI, Linux, AIX, and HP/UX executables, directly on the disk. Notably not mentioned is Macintosh, which so far has been a bit troublesome to put together. If anyone who can program in 'C' on a Macintosh would care to volunteer, please let me know. Although there is an experimental Mac interface at this time, I'd like to make it an officially-supported platform. The QRZ! Callsign/E-mail Registry now contains over 4100 callsign-to-E-mail-address listings and is growing daily. We have a WWW page where you can input your E-mail address directly into the QRZ! Callsign Database, where it will be published on both CDROM and on the Internet. When you use this page, your E-mail address is made instantly available to the online database. Everyone is encouraged to check in and add their E-mail address to the server. There are no charges or listing fees, and it's free to all radio amateurs. The procedure takes only a second, and you are only asked to supply your callsign and E-mail address. Register your E-mail address today! We're pleased to announce that the online FCC database at qrz.com is now updated nightly from the FCC with fresh information. According to FCC rules, if you've just passed your first test, you can begin operating as soon as your callsign shows up in the online database. Please pass on any ideas, suggestions, comments, etc., to my E-mail address above. _________________________________________________________________ Jim Lowman KF6CR jmlowman@ix.netcom.com jlowman@netcom.com Voice: +1 (909) 881-8146 Work: +1 (909) 881-8146 FAX: +1 (909) 881-8152 San Bernardino, California, USA * HF/DX/Contesting * CW * Field Day * Internet Services * Microwave * QRP * QCWA * VHF/UHF _________________________________________________________________ Jeff Luszcz N2TIQ jluszcz@best.com http://www.best.com/~jluszcz/ Palo Alto, CA USA * Apple Macintosh Computer * College Clubs I have a page of Macintosh Shareware I have written: http://www.best.com/~jluszcz/software.html One of the programs I have written allows you to connect the Radio Shack Digital Multimeter with PC Interface to your Macintosh Computer.

I have been a ARRL VE for 5 years now, as well as team leader. I started in computers by building the Altair in about 1968, later switched to Radio Shack. In 1982, I started assembling Clones, and still do to this day (for a living). I have written code in Basic, Quick Basic and C. I have built power supplies, both low-voltage-high-amperage and hi-voltage-low-amperage. I have wound my own transformers, one of which still runs my VHF station after 20 years of use. It is very hard to pin-point what one knows, as we are constantly learning. Also, we must remember the old adage, "USE IT OR LOSE IT." _________________________________________________________________ Rich Moseson NW2L CQMagazine@aol.com CQ Magazine Online Coordinator CQ Magazine and Allied Publications Contact Information: Web page: E-mail: cqmagazine@aol.com CQ VHF: Web page: E-mail: cqvhf@aol.com / 72127.745@compuserve.com CQ Contest: Web page: E-mail (Bob Cox, K3EST, Editor): k3est@netcom.com Communications Quarterly: E-mail: commquart@aol.com Popular Communications: E-mail: popularcom@aol.com (working on a Web page) _________________________________________________________________ Tom Mosher AB7NV moshertd@open.org Salem, OR USA * ARES * HF/Contesting * Novice/Tech Instruction * RTTY * Volunteer Examiner (ARRL VEC) ARES Member, Marion County, Oregon _________________________________________________________________ Terry Muncey WB5OAS tsm@flash.net Terry Muncey dba Radio Era Archives: http://www.flash.net/~tsm/ Schematic information, service information and original replicas of operation manuals for most ham equipment are available.

We have tested over 300 hams during the last three years. I also have been in the repeater business since 1973 (146.820) and have held a ham license longer that any other resident of Estill County Kentucky.

This service is sponsored by the CCA and is provided at no charge to Collins enthusiasts. There is an FAQ which will hopefully be sent to each new subscriber when they "sign on." If you would like one and don't get it, drop me an E-mail at my address above. There may be a few initial bumps and glitches at first but we hope those of you who choose to participate will enjoy it. As of 1/6/97, the Collins Reflector will be fully automated and I will discontinue forwarding the mail manually as in the past. The new automated list processor will be a real upgrade. It will enable you to get the material in nearly real time and does not require me to forward each message manually. You will get the material much quicker than before. The Collins Listserver behaves much like the Boatanchors list. Simply, you subscribe to the list, send it messages which it then "reflects" back out to all those who subscribe. This is done once every ten minutes. You must resubscribe to the new listserver in order to continue to participate. The automated list server follows the same guidelines contained in the CCA FAQ. Please continue to follow those guidelines for posting and contributing. Here is how to subscribe: Send an E-mail message to: listserv@listserv.tempe.gov Leave the Subject header of the message blank and in the body, simply type: subscribe collins The listprocessor will output an E-mail message back to you with easy to follow instructions asking for your confirmation. At that time, you will be asked to send a second E-mail message to the listserver. Follow those instructions exactly and send the second, confirmation, message to the listserver. If all is successful, you will be signed up to the list and a complete set of instructions will be sent back to you in the form of an E-mail by the automated list server. Finally, a very big thanks to Dave Kelly, AI7R and the City of Tempe, AZ who have graciously provided and set up the server. Dave and the Collins Collectors Association sponsor the Collins Reflector as a no charge benefit for Collins afficionados everywhere.

While not a proficient homebrewer/RF designer (yet), I pride myself on the ability to construct equipment from kits, as well as being able to competently debug and fix the equipment I use - this is a set of skills that is becoming too rare in our "appliance operator" world. While many see a need to run high power and large antennas, I do not. I live in a development with antenna restrictions, and I choose to not expose my family and neighbors to high RF fields. This has led to my love of QRP (low power) operation. Working from the eastern U.S. into Germany at 100 Watts is pretty neat - but to do so on 1/2 Watt? A flashlight uses more than that, and it's being seen some 4,000 miles away, AFTER bouncing off the ionosphere TWICE! I also enjoy an occasional contest, although I am more relaxed about operating than the annual "winners." I always operate on Field Day with fervor, last year assisting the University of Maryland in making 205 QSO's (most of them CW) at 4 Watts of output power into wire antennas. I greatly prefer CW over phone. I can frequently be found on 2m repeaters during trips and the drive to and from work. I have confirmation of contact with 138 countries and have earned my WAS and WAC awards. I have been a Volunteer Examiner since age 18, and a ham since age 15. I get a great deal of joy from watching others learn something new, and then embrace it as their own. Ham radio is a wonderful way to become involved in public service and a great, technical, hands-on hobby that can lead to careers and a lifetime of enjoyment. I find great pleasure in making others aware of it. _________________________________________________________________ Henry Ruh KB9FO atvq@aol.com Amateur Television Quarterly (ATVQ) Magazine The magazine's E-mail address and mine are the same: ATVQ. There is also a ham radio section for "manufacturers and dealers" on America On-Line in which we list Amateur Television Quarterly, as expert and manufacturer. That is where most of the Frequently-Asked Questions (FAQ's) come from. Most FAQ's are answered in one of two books we published. ATV Secrets for Aspiring ATV'ers is a non technical book, and Volume II is a 300-page technical manual with theory and projects for all equipment necessary to operate an ATV station. Prices in US funds are $9.95 and $24.95 plus postage ($3.10). Most of your inquires can be answered by either of these two books. I am also compiling a set of W6ORG Notes, a regular column in ATVQ, which answers many of the technical FAQ's on various equipment and operations. This will be available for $9.95 also. I can Elmer on most subjects, but not spread spectrum or packet. _________________________________________________________________ John M.

Golden Valley, MN 55422 USA Manager, Courage HANDI-HAM System I have information pertaining to Amateur Radio and physical disabilities or sensory impairments, such as blindness. Visit us on the World-Wide Web: http://www.mtn.org/handiham/ HELP WANTED: READERS NEEDED BY HANDI-HAMS The Courage HANDI-HAM Center needs volunteer readers to record ham radio books and publications on audio tape. Volunteer readers provide a valuable service to persons with severe physical disabilities and sensory impairments who cannot use regular printed books. Volunteers should hold an Amateur Radio license and be familiar with hobby terms and expressions. A clear speaking voice and the ability to read the written text of Amateur Radio books and describe the diagrams and pictures are essential. HANDI-HAMS will provide a tech sheet and a sample tape to new volunteers, as well as a copy of the book to be read and cassette master tapes. Readers will need a good-quality cassette tape recorder and a quiet place to record. Some of the books we would ask readers to tape would be ARRL license manuals, special interest Amateur Radio books, and instruction manuals for radios. This volunteer work can be done in one's own home, at one's own pace, as long as there is a quiet place to read. It is a wonderful way to share Amateur Radio with others! _________________________________________________________________ Markku Toijala OH2BQZ mto@spider.compart.fi Finnish Amateur Radio League (SRAL) World-Wide Web Page: http://www.sral.fi/ (SRAL is Finland's national amateur radio society.)

AMSAT-NA (The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation in North America) operates the Internet host AMSAT.ORG to provide for efficient communications between people interested in the amateur satellite program. At this time two services are provided: a message remailing service and a mailing list service. In addition, the AMSAT World-Wide Web home page provides interactive access to a variety of information related to the amateur radio satellite program. Use your Web browser program (e.g., Mosaic) to access the URL: http://www.amsat.org/ Anonymous FTP is available from: ftp://ftp.amsat.org/amsat/ This archive contains much of the same information as the WWW server. In addition, various files and programs are available for anonymous FTP. This is a relatively new archive, so the older FTP site: ftp://ftp.ucsd.edu/hamradio/ still has lots of files not available there. The message remailing service permits users to send each other mail on the Internet without keeping track of each other's Internet address. The remailing service allows each user to receive mail sent to the address callsign@amsat.org, where callsign is that user's amateur radio callsign, or other unique identifier. Mail sent to that address will be routed first to the AMSAT.ORG host at UCSD in San Diego, then remailed from AMSAT.ORG to the network address specified by the user. In most cases, this process delays the message by only a very few minutes. The mailing list service groups subscribers into mailing lists to receive certain types of messages. There are public mailing lists available to anyone, and private mailing lists available only to certain people (for example, AMSAT Board of Directors members or PACSAT command stations). Currently the following public mailing lists exist: ANS - AMSAT News Service This mailing list carries official news releases from the AMSAT News Service. These messages are posted in a form suitable for direct posting to a packet radio BBS system. Each message contains a Bulletin Identifier (BID), which permits the message to be introduced into the packet network at many places without resulting in duplicate bulletins at any BBS. The primary purpose of this mailing list is to distribute ANS bulletins for redistribution (via the packet net or on AMSAT voice nets), but individuals may also subscribe for their own use. If your local packet BBS doesn't seem to get the ANS bulletins reliably, you are encouraged to post the ANS bulletins yourself. Only authorized AMSAT News Service personnel should send messages to the ANS mailing list. AMSAT-BB - AMSAT bulletin board This mailing list carries general AMSAT information. This information may NOT be suitable in content for transmission via amateur radio, so automatic reposting of AMSAT-BB messages to packet radio BBS's is discouraged. The purpose of this mailing list is to provide a forum for general discussion of any satellite-related topic. Anyone may send messages to the AMSAT-BB mailing list. Simply address your message to amsat-bb@amsat.org, and it will be automatically forwarded to all subscribers to the AMSAT-BB mailing list. Editors of publications should ask permission of the sender before publishing anything seen in AMSAT-BB elsewhere, unless the posting was obviously a public press release. However, posters should realize that anything posted to AMSAT-BB is essentially public. KEPS - Keplerian Elements mailing list This mailing list carries official postings of Keplerian element sets for satellites of interest to radio amateurs. Like the ANS bulletins, these messages are posted in a form suitable for direct posting to a packet radio BBS. Only authorized AMSAT News Service personnel should send messages to the KEPS mailing list. NASAINFO - NASA related information mailing list This mailing list contains information about current and planned NASA space missions. Be forewarned: at times this mailing list delivers many large messages. SAREX - Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment mailing list This mailing list contains information and press releases pertaining to SAREX missions. To obtain any of these services, just send a message to the address listserv@amsat.org This address may be reached from CompuServe MAIL as: >INTERNET:listserv@amsat.org For the moment, the maintenance of the AMSAT.ORG mailing lists and remailing aliases is done manually. Later, this service will probably be automated and you will have to follow a strict message format. For now, you may send requests in free format. They will usually be processed within a few days. In general, you will not receive an explicit reply to your request. Be sure you specify: 1. Which mailing list(s) you want to receive 2. Your callsign, if any 3. The Internet address to be used, if different from the one in your From: header. You should not send messages about your subscriptions to any of the mailing lists. Send them to listserv@amsat.org instead. This includes questions, requests for changes, requests for information about mailing services, and complaints. The list of amateurs who may be reached via the message remailing service may be obtained by requesting the "address book". Note that the address book as distributed contains only the callsigns of the available addressees, not their actual Internet addresses. The address book is updated occasionally, and does not necessarily contain the very latest information. You may request to be added to the list, to be deleted from the list, or to have your Internet address changed on the list. Please include your callsign if you have one. If you don't have a callsign, that's OK, but please say so. If you have more than one Internet address you want to have available on the AMSAT.ORG remailer, you may so specify. For instance, if you have a regular Internet address and a CompuServe account, you may appear in the address book as both w1xyz and w1xyz-cis. Mail sent to w1xyz would go to your Internet address, and mail sent to w1xyz-cis would go to CompuServe. MCImail accounts have the form w1xyz-mci, and so on. You may also subscribe or unsubscribe to any of the public mailing lists described above. Send a message to listserv@amsat.org, specifying clearly which mailing list(s) you want to add or drop, and giving your callsign if you have one. When you subscribe to a mailing list, you will automatically be added to the remailing service as well, because the mailing lists are maintained by callsign. If you have more than one address listed in the remailing service, please indicate which one(s) you want the mailing list messages sent to. Additional mailing lists, public or private, can be set up as needed. Send mail to listserv@amsat.org for details. Questions about any service offered by AMSAT.ORG may be directed to listserv@amsat.org as well. Please note that the AMSAT business office is separate from mailing list maintenance. You may address membership requests to martha@amsat.org, or send them by mail, phone, or fax to AMSAT headquarters: AMSAT-NA 850 Sligo Avenue Silver Spring, MD 20910 USA Voice: +1 (301) 589-6062 FAX: +1 (301) 608-3410 _________________________________________________________________ R.
