DX from Scotland TODAY
by Ken Alker 10 Aug '22

10 Aug '22

Levi, K6LCM, and I (KA6KEN) are in Scotland. We will be visiting Chris, GM3WOJ, at 5:30PM our time (9:30AM PT). We will be transmitting on 40 and 20 and maybe 15 or 10 (if open). Going to shoot for 6:00pm (10:00am PT). Chris has a contest station in his home which we will be using. We may use call GB22GM and/or our own calls. Let me know if you might be available for a QSO. Sending me a text message would be best. I’ll try to check email too. I’ll try to write back to everyone later today when schedule solidifies and I know what frequency. If you want me to send a text, shoot me your cell number. Or - just dial around the bands for us. Sent from my iPhone

Now, nobody really knew what that meant, because we haven't had one before. The sponsor brochure says, "Your company name and logo on an exclusive Wings Over Camarillo T-Shirt worn by 400 airshow volunteers in front of 25,000 air show guests over the 2-day weekend." So, guess what, we are going to have T-Shirts and hats for the volunteers this year. We need to get T-Shirt sizes for all the volunteers as they sign up. I don't know what that entails for your software, but we need it so that I can order the shirts. Let me know what we need to do. Thanks, Perry H.

CORES Confusion
by Levi C. Maaia, K6LCM 19 Jul '22

19 Jul '22

The FCC announced recently that it has retired the legacy CORES system and is instructing licensees to migrate to a new email-account-based system. The ARRL Letter today discusses this. Has anyone tried migrating their FRN over to the new FCC CORES system? I didn't have any issues creating the new email/username-based account and associating my FRN. However, I can't seem to do much else. What is the system supposed to do? It looks like most of the functions that I would ever need to use – like renewing a license or changing my address – remain in the FRN-account-based ULS anyway. And that system is still accessible, as of today. LCM Levi C. Maaia, K6LCM www.levimaaia.com +1.805.604.5384

Anyone know? Almost certainly home-built. Note paper labels on meters and switches and the absence of brand logos. Hams built a lot of their own gear in those days. Receiver is on the left, main tuning dial looks like it was cannibalized from a fairly high-end Zenith console. Back then many home console radios had pretty decent shortwave tuners, often with bandspread suitable for ham bands. Zenith was the Cadillac. Keep in mind that HF phone was AM, not SSB. The whole receiver could have been salvaged from a big console radio and repackaged. Transmitter is on the right. Large lever knob is likely the bandswitch. Center black nameplate on transmitter kind of looks like it might possibly have been military but 1938 is too early for surplus military gear. I suspect it's completely homebrew. Microphone could be Astatic JT-30. Speaker cabinet is homebrew. -- Jay Hennigan - jay(a)west.net Network Engineering - CCIE #7880 503 897-8550 - WB6RDV

Ham Radio and Operation Deep Freeze
by David Hackleman 02 May '22

02 May '22

Hi all, The History Guy's latest video posted to YouTube highlights two teenaged hams' critical role in keeping lonely Antarctic research station personnel in touch with their loved ones in the 1950's. It is a quintessential example of why we do what we do, though this is the first time I have heard about it. The part about ham radio doesn't start until 7:20, but what precedes it provides important context. At 16:49 in length, it is worth watching if you have the time.
