Coordination of t he units responding to a fire call is
just as critical in the country as it is in the city. Water
supply and travel time are the rural fire department 's
greatest obstacles. Here's how they keep their response
efficient and fast by using only four frequencies to their
best advantage.

Are you hearing Spanish on your scanner where they shouldn't be? Names of unknown taxi companies, street names or towns ? You have entered the twilight zone of low band skip!
This artic le provides one of the most t horough treatments of skip in th e 30 -50 MHz range ever
printed- how it happens and when , what equipm ent you need to receive it, and how to identify it. It 's so
thorough , in fact, we have to run the full story in two issues. Part I, however, lays all the foundation you
need to start making skip recept ion your intentional target.

Ever since the transmissions from global positioning satell ites
were made accessible by the public , a revolution has been taking
place. A phenomenal number of practical applications are being
discove red for the ability of GPS to compute one's exact latera l and
vertica l (altitude) position on the earth, and even to calibrate time
itself.

"You suggested we be creative when sending for
a QSL. I have sent reports all over the world and
have been very happy receiving them. I decided
in a reques t to Radio Japan to include my phone
number. On July 16, around 10:30 EST, I received a phone call from Sarah Moore, host of
the ' Hello from Tokyo' show. The time difference was thirteen hours.
" ! was very surprised and enthusiastic about
receiving the call. She recorded the conversation
lo be used in a future show. She asked me why
I pl aced my phone number on a QSL card, and
I told her very proudly that I got the suggestion
from Monitoring Times. Thank you for the good
job you IGayleJ and Monitoring Times have done
to increase my QSL awareness."
What's New?
James Snow of Murray, KY , has heard reports on the air of a new American-made
shortwave radio ( 100-30,000 kHz), "about the
size of a bread-box, maybe FM digital readout,
no SSB , claims ex treme sensitivity, etc. Delivery in mid-December; suggested price S 199.95
plus S 12 S/H. The radio is called 'For the People.'
If it is of any interest, let all of us subscribers
know about it. "
No sooner said than done, James. Larry
Magnc n.:pons in this issue on the results of his
enquiries, and he will follow up on those comments after the unit becomes available.
Steven Hada of Rosemead , CA, is also wondering about some new technology he heard Jan
McFarland mention on Radio Japan's SWL progran1. McFarland described " a system developed
by Hitachi whereby full duplex communications
(simultaneous two-way conversation) is possible using a single frequency and no additional
bandwidth. This is accomplished by breaking up
the signal [speech! into small intervals, then
time compressing each interval down to SO percent its original length. The compressed speech
is then transmitted.
"Since the speech is compressed to half its
time, the transceiver need transmit only SO percent of the time. TI1c other 50 percent of the time,
it is in the receive mode. At the receiving end,
the speech is expanded back to normal. Each
trans<.:civcr rapidly alternates between transmit
and receive modes. Tims, full duplex <.:ommunications is possible using one frcquen<.:y.
" Initial applications arc said to be taxi and
emergency services operating in the VHF bands,
though ham radio was mentioned as an obvious
appli<.:ation.
" Has anyone at MT heard about this new
system? What arc the SW receiver and scanner
impl ica tions? Arc any manufacturers plann ing
equipment capable of re<.:civing this type of
commLmications?''
We arc not aware of su<.:h developments in
the U.S., bul many solutions arc being proposed

Jam the
Opposition
It's hard to
teach an old
Soviet dog new
capitalist tricks,
however. According to Russia's
Radio, The Palaca
Publishing House is apparently considering
selective jamming of Radio Liberty transmissions because of its criticism ofBoris Oleynik,
author of Prince ofDarkness. The book, which
analyses the term of Mikhail Gorbachev as
President of the USSR, has been bought out
by the publishing company.
To protect their interests, the publishing
company consulted the designers of jamming
systems, who responded enthusiastically to
the idea of smothering Radio Liberty's "vile
and filthy" broadcasts.
January 1993
Reasonable Expectation
of Privacy
If you can prove you have taken steps to
guard your cordless phone privacy by purchasing a shorter-range phone or one with a
scrambling device, then you may indeed be
acknowledged to have a "reasonable expectation of privacy," at least in Texas, Louisiana,
and Mississippi.
The Fifth US Circuit Court of Appeals
has ruled that when cordless phone users have
taken such steps to protect their privacy, the
government can't listen in. However, the
Fourth Amendment privacy right would have
to be evaluated on a case by case basis to
examine the equipment used.
This ruling is seen as a natural step toward preventing eavesdropping by private
citizens as well as police, and will undoubtedly be cited as a precedent nationwide.
Maintaining that cordless phones should
be treated like cellular phones, American
Civil Liberties Union spokesperson, Janlori
Goldman, said in the Wall Streel Journal
report, "One circuit is willing to recognize
that this might be an absurd distinction."
Civil Suit
An amateur radio operator with an apparent dislike of at least one religious station, has
reportedly been convicted of operating a
"pirate" radio station. What makes this station different from other similar incidents is
that Paul Matar, KAlRDM, was convicted
without FCC involvement.
According to the W5Yl Reporl, the FCC
was so understaffed that they could not participate in the apprehension.
Superior Court in Milford, Connecticut,
used evidence gathered by WFIF-AM to
charge Matar with interfering in business
relations and slander. Over S12,000 in damages were awarded the religious station.
Witnesses said that the pirate station
would come on WFIF' s 1500 kHz frequency
after the station had signed off. Engineers
from a neighboring station pinpointed the
transmissions to Matar, who denies the allegations based on the Jack of FCC evidence.
Meanwhile, the illegal broadcasts continue.

Med Go-Ahead
The FCC will no
longer require licensing
for low-power medical
devices in the 450 to
470 MHz band. The affected devices are used
by over 3,000 hospitals to monitor the vital
signs of patients.
Output powers on these devices generally
range from between 2 and 5 milliwatts.
Radio Discovery
Geologists at NASA's Jet Propulsion
Laboratory in Pasadena have discovered several previously unknown earthquake faul ts in
California's Mojave Desert. The new faults
were detected by analyzing Landsat 5 images
at seven bands at optical and infrared wavelengths.
The newly observed faults are located
within Fort Irwin, an active military training
area, and are part of the same system that
produced the magnitude 7.5 earthquake that
occurred June 28, 1992 at Landers, California.
The project is funded by a division of
NASA known, ironically, as the "Solid Earth"
branch.

the portable radio in his pocket. He will be able
to talk with the chief and connect us on the inside

interfering.
The room we enter is pretty warm. There arc
flam es lick ing up the door jamb from the adjacent
room , and the smoke is banking down several reel
from the ceiling. We move quickly into that next
room and start spraying water. The fire darkens
down, but steam fi lls the room, reducing visibility still fur ther, even next to the floor.

He contacts another team, also using the Tactical

they 're working hard lo cut a hole in the roor, and
should be through soon. We sit tight fo r a minute

An important ingredient for successful VHF
skip DXing is an understanding of radio wave
propagation. Between 30 and 50 MHz, radio
signals arc propagated long distances by two
different means: F2 and Sporadic-E.

Now that we've gone over the dynam ics of F2 propagation, information
on when to listen is in order. As mentioned earlier, solar activity needs to
be high for VHF F2 reception lo occur. Unfortunately, the current solar
cycle reached its peak a few years ago and solar activity is on t11e decline.
This means that DXers in the temperate latitudes have only two more VHF
F2 seasons remaining. The approximate starting and ending dates of these
seasons an: listed in Table I .

Sporadic-E
VHF low band signals are also heard over
Jong distances via Sporadic-E propagation (also
written as E ). E is the result of patches of
ionization th;t
just below the E-layer of the
ionosphere. These clouds of ions are dense and
occur at altitudes between 50 and 60 miles (80
and 97 km). With diameters between 50 and 100
miles, these ionized patches tend Lo move towards the west or northwest at speeds between
150 and 250 miles (241 and 402 km) per hour.
The ion density of Sporadic-E clouds is often
very high. This leads to observed MUFs well
above 50 MHz. E, propagation is occasionally
present in the 2-meter amateur band and has even
been noted as high as 223-225 MHz band.
Another consequence of this very high ion density is low signal path loss and very strong
signals. It's not unusual to hear a station more
than 1,000 miles (1,609 km) away exhibit a
stronger signal than your local si.ations.
Unlike F2 propagation, which allows DX to
be heard from a vast area, E-skip reception is
much more limited. Although multi-hop Sporadic-E propagation does occur, most E-skip is
the result of a single bounce. This, combined with
the fact that E, ionization occurs at relatively low
altitudes, limits the maximum range of most
E-skip to about 1,300 miles (2,091 km). The
minimum distance that signals can be heard via
Sporadic-E is about 225 miles (362 km) at 30
MHz and 375 miles at 50 MHz.
The small diameter of E clouds further
limits the area from which DX can be heard.
Sometimes Sporadic-E skip is only heard from an
area as small as the slate of Kansas . From my
listening post in southern California, I usually
only hear one or two areas al a time such as
northern Texas, Kansas, or the WashingtonOregon-Idaho region.
As mentioned earlier, Sporadic-E clouds tend
to drift at high speed towards the west and
northwest. This movement has two interesting
effects on low band reception. First, the strength
of a received signal can go from weak to very
strong and back to weak in the course of an hour.
In addition, the area being heard often changes.
A DXer in California might hear low band stations from Texas in the morning, Colorado in the
early afternoon, and Oregon in the evening.
The times at which E-skip appears and the
lengths of the openings vary with the DXer' s
latitude. In the equatorial region, Sporadic-E can
appear at any point of the 11 -year cycle, in any
season, and at any time of day or night. The
openings last from several hours to an entire day.
At temperate latitudes, Sporadic-Eopenings
occur each year, regardless of the solar activity.
About 80% of the E, openings occur in the late
spring and early summer with peak activity during the four week period centered on the summer

Equipment
Contrary to popular belief, you don't need a
receiver like an R-7000 and a log periodic
antenna to hear VHF low band skip. Even a
modest receiving setup should pull in a large
amount of DX. There's a good chance that you
already have all of the equipment you' ll need.
Receiver: Any scanner that can receive the
30-50 MHz band will do. Although not critical,
a large channel capacity is helpful, especially for
ferreting out E-skip.
Antenna: Good VHF skip reception is pos sible with a relatively simple antenna. If you
already have a scanner or shortwave antenna, it
might work. You can test your existing antenna
by listening between 30 and 40 MH z. If you can
hear stations more than 20 miles (32 km) away,
your existing antenna will probably suffice.
If your existing antenna isn't up to the task,
you can make a simple indoor VHF low band
monopole. This type of antenna is easy to make
and should work well as long as the surrounding
wal ls are transparent to RF. Cut a piece of hookup
wire to a length of7 feet 3.75 inches (2.22 m) and
solder the end to an RF connector. Plug the
connector into your radio' s antenna jack and then
orient the monopole so that it's more or less
vertical. Then use a nail or push pin to affix the
end to the wall.
Cassette Recorder: This is an es sen ti al piece
of equipment for catching C W station IDs, staMONITORING TIMES

lion callsigns, place names , and other informalion needed to identify a station. A cassette
recorder also allows you to save your best DX
catches for posterity. Your recorder should have
jacks for mic, remote, and earphone as well as a
Lape counter.
The recorder should be connected directly to
the receiver via a patch cord. An earphone or
speaker should be plugged into the earphone jack
to allow monitoring while the unit is recording.
Timer: A useful accessory is an electronic
timer. You can use a timer to activate your
cassette recorder when you're away from home
and record skip for later playback.
Frequencies
The topic of which frequencies to monitor is
too broad to be discussed in detail here. For the
newcomer I would suggest beginning by hunting
for U.S. skip. My advice is based on the fact that
the U.S. probably has more 30-50 MHz stations
than any other country, they're widely heard (at
least as far as Europe via F 2), and they often
identify themselves. U.S. VHF low band activity
is concentrated into the sub-bands listed in Table
3 (frequencies in MHz).
The sub-bands listed in Table 3 are used by
business, police, fire/paramedics, local government, etc. All of the channels are spaced in 20
kHz steps (i.e. 35.020, 35.040, 35.060 MHz, etc).
U.S. Military and other government communications can also be heard. These si.ations are
mostly found in the sub-bands listed in Table 4
(frequencies in MHz):
The U.S . military tends to use channels that
are spaced in 50 kHz steps (i.e., 34.000, 34.050,
34. 100, 34.150 MHz, etc.). These sub-bands also
contain slations operated by other government
agencies such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (34.830 MHz). Since the above segments
of the 30-50 MHz band contain relatively few
U.S. stations. they 're free from interference and
serve as windows for foreign DX. Because foreign stations can appear on just about any
frequency, scan these sub-bands in 5 kHz increments.
You can increase the amount of skip that you
hear by intelligently selecting the frequencies
that you monitor. Choose frequencies that will be
below the expected MUF. Since the F2 MUF
varies with the I I-year solar cycle and solar
activity is declining, select frequencies between
30-43 MHz during the current ( 1992-1993) F2
DX season and30-36 MHz during che 1993- 1994
Monitoring Techniques
Single Frequency Monitoring: This method
involves continuously monitoring a frequency
for at least 30 minutes and listening for voice and
CW station IDs. You can either monitor the
frequency in person or record the received signals
while you 're away from home for later playback.
Search Between Limits: This technique uses
a scanner's ability to search between two frequencies. It's a simple way to locate skip and
determine the MUF. When using this method
program your radio to search in 5 kHz steps.
Limited Channel Search: This method calls
for programming your radio to scan all of the
clear channels in a limited portion of the 30-50
MHz band or to only scan the channels used for
a specific purpose. For example, you could scan
the channels of the 33.420 - 33.980 MHz fire/
paramedic sub-band or the low band channels
used exclusively by the U.S. Coast Guard.
Extensive Channel Search: This approach
is a rapid scan of 200 or more clear channels
between 30-50 MHz. When used for F2 DXing,
it enables you to easily find skip and determine
the MUF. It's also the best way to hunt for
Sporadic-E openings. During E-skip season you
can use your radio as an Es alarm by letting it
operate in this way for extended periods.
These advantages, however, come at a cost.
You'll need a radio with at least 200 channels and

Zenith's Transoceanic:
The First Multi-Band Portable Radio
By Michael Brian Schiffer
~.
January 1993
phonograph-record clerks. The use of the TransOceanic ponablc as a conspicuous gi fl Lo a celebrity enhanced its desirability, especially since
mere mortals couldn' t buy one at any price.
After the war, the Trans-Oceanic was redesigned. Already a large set, it grew more Lo
accommodate an enormous bauery pack. The
huge battery pack allowed the radio--which in
one version had seven Lubes (plus rectificr)--Lo
operate very economically, around 2 cents per
hour-a figure that would nm be bcuercd lllllil
the advent of Lhe transistor radio. The TransOceanic was redesigned again in 1951 and 1954,
but got no smaller.
The pos t-war Trans-Oceanics with tubes,
though expensive ($87.50 and up), were very
successful. With their shon-wave bands, the set
provided access to the world and the appearance
of worldliness to its owner. The Trans-Oceanic
was used as a prop in fashion layoms, and advertised in upscale magazines, like Holiday, perpetuating iL~ image as a necessity for the social
in-crowd.
Like all successful products, the TransOceanic had a host of imitators, mostly in the
fifties. RCA, Hallicrafters, and other companies
made multi -band tube portables, but none had the
impact of the original.
The Trans-Oceanic survived the transition to
transistors. McDonald, still at Zenith 's helm in
the mid-fifties, ordered his engineers, finally, to
shrink the Trans-Oceanic, "leaving no room for
a grain of sand." The first solid state TransOceanic, the Royal 1000, debuted in late 1957.
It had eight bands and cost $250. Though relatively compact, it weighed-with ballcrics-13
lbs. The nine transistors, by the way, plugged into
sockets; and the set, with its metal chassis, was
entirely hand-wired. 7.cnith was very reluctant to
enter the age of throw-away electronics.
In 1960 the Trans-Oceanic underwent another transformation, getting one more band and
becoming the Royal lOOOD. Three years later,
FM was added to create the Royal 3000. In the
first days of August 1964, Zenith manufactured
the one-m ill ionth Tran s-Oct:anic, though
McDonald did not live 10 see it.
TI1c 11 -band Royal 7000 appeared in 1973,
and six years later acquired one more band-its
twelfth and last. During the seventies the Trans Oceanic faced a field of formidab le competitors
made abroad. Like the earlier Trans -Oceanics,
the Royal 7000 was made in Chicago. In 1980,
however, Zenith shut down the assembly line,
transferring production to its Taiwan plant. The
Royal 7000 was the las l ponablc radio manufactured in the United States.
Moving the manufacture of the TransOccanic abroad did not solve the problems of

Well it's fi nally here, the end of another year, and the start of a new
one: 1993. January is always a good time to reflect on what has been,
and make some predictions for the future.
Looking back over the last year, it was a quieter than normal period
in the Utility World . There were no major wars to monitor and no major
HF frequency shakeups.
Probably the biggest commurtications story of the last year was
monitoring the events surrounding Hurricane Andrew as it hit the Florida
and Louisiana coasts. I am very thankful to still be here in New Orleans
writing to you from our home, as Andrew directly threatened us here in
the local area. Thanks to each of you who took time to send us letters
of concern.
Second place winner in the Utility World would be all the radio
activity surrounding this year's presidential campaign and election. As
the President and his staff moved around the country at a vigorous pace,
Mystic Star HF channels came alive and offered us all some unique
insig ht into President Bush's reelection campaign. It was a lot of fun.
Now let's look into the old crystal ball and see what the future holds.
1993 looks like it will be a very busy year. All sons of changes are already
appearing on the radio horizon .
On a personal leve l, one of the must notable will be my retirement
this spring from the United States Navy after over 22 years of service.
Around July 1, I will report to my new and hopefully permanent duty
station, Dog Branch Road in Brasstown, NC. Believe me, folks, this is
the biggest thrill of my life, and I am honored to be a part of the staff
in B-town.
Another big change in 1993 will be in Bob's Shortwave Direc/ory.
I have already begun work on updating and getting the GSD in shape.
I want to rem ind our readers that I don't have all the answers; your help
is needed and always appreciated.
One specific area of immediate need is obtaining an updated list of
Navy MARS afloat callsigns. I have the international call s and new
address scheme, but we need an update on the MARS callsigns. Any help
along this line would be much appreciated.
In the past many of you have voluntarily provided Bob with information for the Shor/Wave Directory, or you have been approached by him
directly. By contacting a greater number of monitors throug h the pages
of Moniroring Times, I am asking for that same support and more! You
know, if all of you who have bought Bob's book would sit down with
your copy right now and take a few minutes to jot down some notes, we
would have the best HF reference in the field today. Any updates,
suggestions, or changes should be sent to Brasstown as soon as possible.
I solicit your help in making this next edition the best yet.

works and it will be even better with the inclusion of ARQ-E3, ARQM2 and Piccolo stations.
He reports that some recent callsign allocation changes have been
issued by the ITU (International Telecommunications Union) in Geneva,
Switzerland, as follows :
E2A - E2Z
Thailand
L YO - L YZ
Lithuania (Delete from the CIS allocation)
YLA - YLZ
Latvia (Delete from the CIS allocation)
9AA - 9AZ
Croatia
By now you may have noticed several new stations on the air usin g
the new Croatia callsign block. These include the following marine
coastal stations:
9AD Dubrovnik Radio (ex-YUX)
9AR Rijeka Radio (ex -YUR)
9AS Split Radio (ex-YUS)

three HK3 calls sure looked amateur radio-ish. Curiousity got the best
of me and out comes my Amateur Radio Call Book. Yep, two out of three
made it in the Cal/book and guess what it shows (Military Army outfits):
HK3EJC
Comando de! Ejercito, Minjusticia, Bogota
HK3EMC
Escuela MiIi tar de Cadetes, Calle 81 36-00, Bogota

No listing
Based on language used, traffic seen and other information, my
instinct is that this network is probably the Army equivalent of the InterAmerican Naval Telecommunications Network that we have seen on HF
for years. Only time will tell. Letters have been sent to the two above
addresses and I will let you know the results.
Time for a hurricane and on to your logs.

Antenna Tune-Up
Seasoned scanner buffs will tell you that antenna problems typically
occur in the middle of winter. Herc in the Northeast, accumulations of
snow and ice can damage antennas and high winds can force moisture
into coax connections.
The inability of your antenna to pull in low power sign als is usually
the first indication that something is wrong. In most instances, you'll
be able to hear the base unit, but the mobile and hand held units will
be barely audible or non-existent. If your antenna could pull in low
power signals when it was new, you can restore its original performance
with a "Winter Antenna Tune-up." Herc' s what you'll need to do:
Coax connections on outdoor antennas should be cleaned with a
lightly oiled collon swab. The two oils that arc commonly used are WD40 and CRC. Roth products displace moisture and can be found in
hardware and department stores. For tougher cleaning jobs, a spray can
of electrical contact cleant!r will work quite well. However, be careful
of over-spray. The chemicals in some cleaning products can damage
coax cable.
Rooftop antennas should be disassembled and cleaned on a yearly
basis. The element contact points can be cleaned with 400 grit "wet &
dry" sandpaper. Lubricate the sandpaper with one of the oils that was
previous ly mentioned and lightly sand the contact areas. Remove the
residue with a clean, dry cloth and then reinstall the clements. If you're
also replacing the connecting hardware, use brass nuts and bolts. Steel
hardware will corrode aluminum and severely damage your antenna.
After the antenna is cleaned and reassembled, spray a light coat of
urethane or lacquer on the connection areas. The waterproof coating will
help to keep the connection points dry and free from corrosion.
Antennas that utilize a matching transformer (balun), arc especially
prone to corrosion. If you merely twisted the balun wires around the
connector (Figure # 1), the performance of your antenna wi ll certainly
be compromised. To restore the antenna ' s ability lo capture weak
signals, disconnect the bal un, clean the connection points, cut the wires
to expose new ends, and reinstall. Finally, weatherproof the connection
points with Radio Shack tape sealant, catalog #278 -1648.
The coax connection at the balun and al the base of your antenna
should also be sealed. Coax connectors that have been exposed to the
weather will allow moisture to enter into the cable. Contaminated coax
cable must be replaced and protected from the weather. Again, use the
tape sealant from Radio Shack.
If you've recently installed cable television accessories in your coax
line, the problem may not be with your antenna. Cable TV splillers
(Figure #2), can reduce the received signal as much as 50% percent.
Cable accessory loss is especially noticeable in the 800 megahertz
frequencies. The higher frequencies arc adversely affected by any type
of connector, splillcr or coupling device. To achieve the best results and

minimize signal Joss, use a continuous length of coax cable between your
antenna and scanner radio.
Antenna repairs during the winter months can be very hazardous.
Depending upon your location, freezing temperatures, snow and ice, can
make roof top antenna repairs virtually impossible. But if you 're willing
to be patient, and plan ahead, roof top repairs during the winter are not
impossible. Here are a few suggestions to consider:
I. Listen to your local, extended weather forecast. Most agencies
project the weather in five day increments. Plan your antenna activities
to correspond with the warmest day forecastcd.
2. Use the days preceding the event to gather your tools and to make
the necessary preparations. When the warm weather arrives, you don 't
want to waste valuable time hunting for items that could have been
gathered in advance.
3. Wear a safety belt. It could save your life!
We all know that the ideal time to check roof top antennas is during
the summer season. But if you're a typical hobbyist, you simply don 't
have the time to perform warm weather antenna maintenance. You 're
too busy working around the house, culling the grass, tending the garden
and performing dozens of additional tasks. If you're shaking your head
in agreement, gather your tools, pick a warm day and give your antenna
a well deserved mid -w inter tune-up.
Treasure Hunt
No listening post is complete
without several photos of local po
lice, fire or other emergency services
hanging on the wall. Beautifully
framed color prints add a touch of
excitement and realism to any scan4?. ~~
ning shack.
-.
But as we all know, taking pictures with a 35mm camera isn't easy.
Setting the film speed, adjusting the lens and choosing the correct
exposure seems to take forever. And despite our best efforts, the
developed pictures are usually not suitable for framing.
Does it sound fami liar? Arc you tired of throwing away photographs
because of improper camera sellings? If so, the folks at Minolta have
designed a camera just for you. The "Maxxum 3xi" takes the guesswork
out of using a 35rnm camera. All you do is load the film, point and shoot.
If you're an experienced camera buff, the Maxxum 3xi can be also be
manually adjusted. Simply set the camera to "manual" and you can add
a touch of creativity to any photograph.
If you're worried about lenses, relax. Minolta has also included a
50mm, 1.7, autofocus lens! Once again, the guesswork has been elimi nated. You don't need to adjust the focusing ring. The lens also contains
a micro computer that continuously feeds information to the main
computer in the camera. In the autofocus mode , the camera will auto
matically adjust the Jens for a clear, sharp picture. All you do is point
the camera, push a button, and relax. The Maxxum 3xi automatically
selects the correct sellings to produce the best picture.
Minolta even made loading the film automatic. You simply open the
back, drop in the film and close the case. After your last picture, the
camera rewinds the film and the data panel reminds you to install a new
roll. Best of all , you can win the Maxxurn 3xi by participating in our first
Treasure Hunt of 1993! Herc are the clues:
I. The weight of the Maxxum 3xi (without lens and ballery is 420g.
How much is that in ounces?
2. The Maxxurn 3xi uses a "2CR5" lithium battery. How many volts
are provided by the 2CR5?
3. A neck strap is included with the Maxxurn 3xi. True or False?
4. Whal award-winning photographer took the picture on the front
cover of the November 1992 edition of Monitoring Times?
5. What is a photometer?
You can check out the Maxxurn 3xi by visiting your local camera
shop or department store. You'll discover that the Maxxurn 3xi is a
lightweight, compact and professionally crafted instrument. In addition
to the features that we've already mentioned, the 3xi also contains a built
in flash, a self timer, a battery condition indicator and many additional
features that we simply can't list in this limited space.
Maybe the Maxxurn 3xi is just what you need to snap that shot that
makes the cover of M71

I have three separate shareware programs that you can use and judge
for yourself. All three disks are free, but you'll need to supply three
formaued, 5- 1/4 disks, the mailer and stamps. Too much of a hassle? No
problem. Here's the deal of the new year: I ' II send you the three programs
for $5.00 dollars-that includes first class postage to your doorstep. If
you add it up, you'll spend that much sending me the disks and postage
paid mailer.
The choice is yours, but there is a catch. This offer is only good until
March I , 1993. Requests after that date will be returned . And please be
patient. Since I'll be copying three disks per each request, I 'll need a few
extra weeks to respond. Send your requests to Bob Kay, P.O. Box 173,
Prospect Park, PA 19076. If you like any of the software, be sure to send
the programmer the requested registration fee. I' ll offer the Radiolog and
RAC programs in a future column.

watts using a two bay vertical antenna mmmted
on top of a stately watchtower. The station
operated 24 hours a day for a week in stereo
providing repor!s on the conference, interviews,

in 1he U.S.A. The days of droning national istic
folk songs and pep talks to the masses are gone.
Now there are T-shirt give-aways, entertainment

King every night!
Radio Maximum's afternoon DJ, 16 year

The stalion is a joint venlure of the weekly

Primary Batteries
Carbon-zinc and alkaline are the types of
batteries with which we are most familiar. They
come in various s izes; designated as AAA, AA,
C and D. Each of these batteries has a nominal
voltage of 1.5 volts. The difference between the
various sizes is the current capacity (current
capacity is rated in amp hours, ah, or milliamp
hours, mah). TI1e larger batteries of course have
the greatest current capacity (or life in use). For
example, if a device requires 50 milliamps (ma)
to operate, a 500 mah battery will operate that
device for 10 hours.
Naturally, most of the equipment hams use
requires more than 1.5 volts to operate properly.
To obtain that voltage we must add batteries in
series (that is, we connect the positive terminal
of one bauery to the negative of the next) until
the required voltage is reached. For example,
eight 1.5 volt cells would equal 12 volts. (Strictly
speaking, we should call each of the above units
a " cell"; a battery is not created until two or more
cells arc connected together. )
There arc several other types of primary
batteries that should be mentioned. They arc
lithium, silver oxide and mercury. These particular units produce extremely long life in low
current applications and arc found mainly in
memory circuits in the modenJ ham ri gs,
clocks.and watches.
You should NEVER attempt to recharge
primary batteries! Recharging a primary battery
is dangerous and could result in the battery
exploding, caus ing serious injury to the equipment and user. I know it is possible to renew
carbon-zinc batteries to some extent; however,
the practice should be discouraged because even
if the recharging is successful it is possible the
case of the baucry will be perforated allowing
chemicals to leak into and damage your equipment!
Rechargeable Batteries
On the other hand, some arc designed to be
used over and over again. The most popular
rechargeable cell most of us arc famil iar with is

Ham DX Tips
Happy New Year to one and all! This time of year is the antarctic summer and that means
increased activity from there. Here's some DX tips from there and elsewhere you can try:
ANTARCTICA KC4AAA, operating from Byrd-Amundsen station at the South Pole,
has been on 14260 kHz, SSB, at 0345 UTC daily. His QSL manager is NC6J, Robert Chambers,
2247 W. Jewett, San Diego, CA 92111. VP8GA Y is presently operating fromoneoftheBritish
Antarctic bases and can be found operating CW at the following times: 14001 to 14015 kHz
at 0100 UTC, 7001 to 7015 kHz 0200 to 0400 UTC, 3501 to 3515 kHz, 28001 to 28015 kHz
at 1700 UTC, and 21001 to 21015 kHz at 1800 UTC. If you are lucky enough to locate him,
send your reports/QSLs to: D.J. Warburton, GMOLVI, Law Vista High St., Errol, Perth PH2
7QQ, Scotland. BERMUDA The Radio Society ofBermudaoffers two awards for contacting
amateurs there. The Bermuda 100 award is a plaque offered to those who have verified 100
contacts with VP9 (Bermuda) amateurs. The Worked All Bermuda Award is offered to those
who have contacted amateurs operating from all nine Bermuda parishes. If you want an
application and detailed rules, write: The Radio Society of Bermuda, P.O. Box HM 275,
Hamilton HMAX, Bermuda, using a #10 size envelope, SASE or SAE w/2 IRCs. To help you
log some of those parishes, check the Bermuda Net which meets on 14275 kHz Sundays at
1330 UTC. BURKINA FASO XTIBW can be found operating: CW on 14015 kHz at 2015
UTC, RTTY 14085 kHz Sundays at 2145 UTC, 21085 kHz at 1300 UTC, and SSB on 14211
kHz at 2100 UTC Sundays he meets with his QSL manager WB2YQH (Robert Nadonly, 135
Wetherslone Dr., West Seneca, NY 14224). CROATIA One of the Belgian members of the
UN peace keeping forces here is ONSAI/9A who will be active from here to June of 1993.
Check the various DX nets on 20 meters as he checks into several as time and conditions permit.
He promises a special QSL, send your QSL requests to P.O. Box 45, 2460 Kasterlce, Belgium.
HOWLAND ISLAND NTOX, Randy Rowe, is heading up a DX-pedition to this rare
Pacific island which should start around 26 January and last seven to ten days. Listen for a
KHl prefixed station on or near: 3795, 7070, 14195, 21295, 28495 kHz SSB; 3505, 7005,
14005, 21005, 28005 kHz CW; and 14085, 2 1085, 28085 kHz RTTY. The QSL to NTOX's
1993 callbook address. JAN MA YEN Mathias Bjerring, JWSNM, (P.O. Box 498, N-9170
Longycarcity, Norway) can be found using CW on 7005 kHz at 0330 UTC and 10105 kHz
at 0500 UTC. TAIWAN The new address of the incoming QSL bureau here is: P.O. Box
93, Taipei, Taiwan, ROC. SAN FELIX ISLAND GROUP XQOX, Juan is active from
here once again, during the lobster fishing season which will last through March. Look for
him operating SSB on the "256 Group Net" 1456 kHz around 2300 UTC. His QSL manager
is CE3ESS, Mikey Gelerstcin, P.O. Box 9834, Santiago, Chile. SAO TOME Charles L.
Lewis, C Postal 522, Sao Tome, D.R.S.T.P., West Africa, (via Portugal) has been kind to write
and tell us that he should be active as S92SS when you read this, and that you can use the
address above to obtain QSLs for this operation as well as his prior operation as A22AA. He
asks that you include a self-addressed envelope and IRC or "Green Stamp" when making such
a request. SOMALIA With the large number of Canadian Forces being deployed here as
part of a large UN Peacekeeping Force, be prepared for the possibility of several TS/VE or
4U/VE prefixed amateurs operating from here. As with our earlier tip of Croatia, it is not
unusual for UN peacekeepers to place such rare spots on the air and of course they have always
been accepted as legal operations for various amateur awards. T53UN has been active on 21030
kHz CW or 21235 kHz at0030 UTC most days. QSL TS3UN to: Kent Phillips, P.O. Box 1652,
Icosea, Cyprus. SOUTH SHETLANDS Operating from the Polish Antarctic research
base is HFOPOL which can be found operating on the following freqs and modes on them:

Kukzak, ul Gromady Grudziaz 17 m 4, 30-675 Krakow , Poland. USA The Western States
Senior Citizens net meets on 7180 kHz SSB daily at noon Pacific Local Time daily. If you
are a Senior Citizen and an amateur they invite you to join, if you are not an amateur they
still would like you to tune in. Starting the 23rd of January at 1900 UTC until 0400 the 25th,
(the ARRL VHF/UHF sweepstakes) look for me (Rob Gerardi) operating on 50, 144, and 432
MHz SSB as part of the N9BJG mulli operator contest team , (operating from grid EM58), or
under my own callsign N9LAG. SWL reports for N9BJG or N9LAG should be sent to P.O.
Box 91, Benton, IL 62812. Amateurs wishing to QSL a contact with N9BJG should send their
requests to his call book address. UZBEK U18AAA can be found on 3505 kHz CW at 1230
UTC most days. His QSL manager is K9FD, Mervyn Schweigert, Route 2 Box 138-A, Red

Now make your R7000 even
more versatile by adding the
popular Tone/Code Finder
produced by AIE Corp.
The Tone/Code Finder is composed of a high speed display unit coupled to your receiver. IT'S PURPOSE IS TO
INSTANTLY FIND AND DISPLAY ALL CTCSS AND DIGITAL CODES, INCLUDING SPLIT CHANNEL AND
INVERTING CODES.
On board memory retains all hit and time information which is then transferred to a printer or computer via a RS 232 port
upon command. Time is stored in seconds and hits in units. In the event of power loss, the FINDER will maintain memory
for up to three weeks. (Memory and real time clock optional)
Signal processing is accomplished by an eight pole filter configured as a low pass with a cutoff of 234Hz. The superior
filter characteristics eliminates chopping and false reading.

Notes: The M1000 was 1he best at 50 bd and the M8000/7000 did better at 75 and 300 baud. The
KAM had a problem with ASCII mode. No matter how low the noise was. it copied scrambled text.
There appeared to be a problem with coding of the data or a bug in the firmware. The 300 baud test
used ASCII mode . The filter performance using 300 baud ASCII is the same for packet.

MONITORI NG TIMES
An Interesting Observation
For many years the military and perhaps the
U.S. Government used an old electrical , mechanical encryption system known as the KW-7.
It was in use for many years and you could
recognize it because for a long while they sent
a synchronizing signal. The signal sounded very
much like an old model 19 that was sending the
nul 1character (nowadays it's called the "diddle").
When the encrypted signal went into traffic,
it produced a repetitious cadence that appeared
to increase in baud rate. The old system, so I'm
told, needed this time period (called the preamble) because the encryption bo x used
mechanical wheels that had to synchronize to the
changing baud rate.
This system is no longer in use on the HF
bands. Using their brilliant powers of observation, radio hobbyists have determined that the
old system was replaced by a new one. The same
frequencies are being used: 7.9593, I 0.426, 12. 120
MHz, just to name a few.
But, the new system appears to be sending
a constant 75 baud shift during idle, and then it
goes into a preamble followed by synchronous
data. What' s most interesting is that the preamble has the same characteristics as the RTTY
mentioned a few months ago on 8.493 MHz.
Remember it? It was the one that sent RY' s and
then went into what appeared to be a "BERT"
test. However, the BERT only lasted for 63
characters and then the signal was scrambled for
a while. The sequence then repeated.
Whatever it is, both systems appear to have
similar encryption schemes. I' 11 keep you posted!

VOA Conference
As the United Stat.cs was focused on the
presidential election victory of Bill Clinton,
over I SO representatives of broadcasters from
60
January 1993
around the globe quietly converged on Washington , D.C. to discuss t.hc state of international
broadcasting.
During the conference, participants addressed
new trends in programming, the use of satellites
and rebroadcasting, and the future of international broadcasting.
Among the broadcasters present at the con fercncc were Radio Netherland' s Jonathan Marks,
Dieter Weirich of Radio Deutsche Welle, the
director of Vatican Radio Reverend Pasquale
Larquie, and representatives from Radio Fin land, Radio Nigeria, Radio Syria, Radio Romania International , Radio Httngary, and the World
Radio Network, just to name a few.
At the conference, the future of shortwave
was rcaffinncd by US IA director Eugene Kopp
and other broadcasters as the "only direct way of
reach ing audiences without t he use of
gatekeepers." In addition, the conference discussed the best ways for international broadcasters to gain audiences in the United States. The
use of 1-800 numbers and other free print media
were pointed out as successful examples.

MONITORING TIMES
Once you've located the correct charts, look along the horizontal axis of the graph for the time you are listening . The top line of the graph
shows the maximum usable frequency {MUF), the heavy middle line is the frequency for best reception, or optimum working frequency (OWF), and
finally, the bottom line is the lowest usable frequency {LUF). You will find the best reception along the heavy middle line. Circuits labeled {P) cross
the polar auroral zone. Expect poor reception on these circuits during ionospheric disturbances.

Touchstone is EEsof's computer aided simu lation ;md optim ization program for linear RF
and microwave circuits. It allows circuit designs
to be modelled and optimi zed on computer
before breadboards or prototypes are built. Touchstone was designed by professional microwave
engineers for professional use; it is probably the
most versatile microwave circuit modelling tool
on the market.

TI1c circuit to bc analyzed is input by creating a Circuit File (fig. 1). Herc the circuit is
entered in nodal form; individual circuit clements arc entered and each connection between
clements is given a node number. More than one
separate circuit may be entered per circuit file.
In this way, the final circuit may consist of
several sub-circuits which arc connected together. Al so included in the circuit file arc the
units (ohms or kohms, picofarads or microfarads, e tc.), the form of the output data, and the
frequencies of analysis. Optional lines in the
circuit file include defining relations between
circuit clements, defining circuit terminating
impedances (default is 50 ohms), defining opti mization goals, and defining tolerances on circuit
elements.
Circuit files make use of data fiks containing pub!ishcd or measured data for acti vc devices
(transistors, FETs, etc.) These fi les may be S
(most common), Y, Z, H, or G parameters, with
or without noise parameters. The Touchstone
fi le format is the industry standard; many manufacturers offer data on their devices in Touchstone
format on floppy di sk. Data may also be entered
directly into Touchstone from a compatible
network analyzer through an IEEE-488 bus interface.
Touchstone has several features which separate it from the competi tion. One such feature is
optimization. Design goals and a range of values
for each circuit clement arc entered into the
circuit file. Touchstone compares the actual
circuit response to the desired circuit response,
then varies component values to make the circuit
response as close as possible lo the desired
response. Touchstone won't design your circuit
for you, but if you get close, it will take you the
rest of the way.
Another feature is yield prediction. Component tolerances and pass/fail criteria arc entered
into the circuit file. Touchstone will then randomly vary the component values within the
tolerance limits, and display the percentage of
time the circuit passes the test. In this way
designs may be optimized for maximum manufacturing yield.
Perhaps the best feature of Touchstone is the
wealth of clements which can be modelled. The
current clement catalog contains some two hundred fifty pages of element models, including
capacitors, inductors, resistors, transistors, opamps, antennas, coaxial transmission lines,
printed circuit transmission lines (microstrip,
striplinc, and co-planar waveguide), and transformers. Idealized elements and real clemen ts
including parasitics and losses arc included. 111c
microstrip and striplinc models include bends,
Outputs

Overall
I have used Touchstone almost daily since
1987. It is a tool which is almost indispensable
if you do any serious RF design work. The
knowledge gained about a design through com puter modelling before the firs t breadboard is
built can save weeks of bench work, and the
EEsof models arc the best in the business.

Yes, al first glance it does look like Lhc
PR0-43 and, yes, one might Lhink--crroneously-Lhal it is simply a repackaged Unidcn
BC200XLT. But there arc considerable differences among all three.
The new Rcali stic 11 PR0-39 handhcld scanner is in a nearly-identical package Lo the PR0-43
and it has the same function keys. Even Lhe
display is identical. But there is where the similarity ends.
Measuring 2-3/4"W x 5-3/4"H x 1-5/8"0
and weighing about a half pound, the PR0- 39
covers 30-54 MHz FM, 108-137 MHz AM, 137174 MHz FM, 380-512 MHz FM and 806-960
MHz FM (less cellular-sec page 107 for modification ).
200 memory channels may be entered into
10 banks; 10 additional "monitor" channels
(scratch pad memory of 10 active channels temporarily s tored during the search sequence) may
be entered into permanent memory later. Scan
rate is a brisk 25 channels per second, and
searching clips along at 50.
Any channel may be prioritized (sampled
every 2 seconds), and any channel may be
delayed for 2 seconds bdorc scan resume, or

American-Made "Portatop"
Announced
In 1991, we gave good marks to a cheap
portable from a populist group in Florida, "For
The People." The rub is that although For The
People openly proclaims in its program over
WWCR that buying non-American products is
"treason," their radio, sold under the Pomtrcx
and other labels, was made in no less than the
People's Republic of China.
This wouldn't do, so they set off to have a
digital world band "ponatop" be designed and
manufactured in the United States. The result,
now reportedly about to be manufactured in the
Commonwealth of Pennsy Ivan ia, is the $21 1.95,
including shipping, American Electrola Model
DXC-100 (For the People, Telford Hotel, 3 River
St., White Springs, FL 32096; 800-888-9999). It
is to come with a "light oak wood grained"
cabinet and is being manufactured in North
America-and its publicity claims "shortwave"
reception from 100 kHz to 30 MHz, novel con sidering that the shortw ave spectrum beg in s at
3,000 kHz.
The DXC-100, wh ich uses a hori1.ontal format more typical of portables than tabletop
models , is nominally to be dual conversion, with
keypad and two-speed knob tuning, plus 60
presets and frequency/presets scanning. Unlike
other tabletop and portatop models, it includes
FM and a built-in telescopic antenna, with a
battery pack as an option for those seeking fully
self-contained operation. An outboard 1 15 V AC
adapter is standard, but with the right adapter the

An a(.Tonym is a word made from the first
lcuer of each of the words in a saying or title. For

There are, of course, other characteristics of
a paper log which I, and I'm sure you, have
encountered:
4. Magnets for Coke and coffee spills.
5. Slipped-behind-the-desk wall insulation.
6. Litter basket fillers disguised as loose and
irregular pieces of scrap paper with cryptic
numbers scratched on the front, back and
edges.
Well, DXLOG can do the first three functions
simply, easily and provide cvt:n more. But you ' ll
have to stick with the paper log to gel functions
4,5 and 6.
We've seen how the included list of international shortwave stations can be used; now let' s
look at starting our own log. Surprise! TI1e same
function s (EDITOR and FILE ACCESS) and
methods (access via five param eters) that we
learned before for the DX SCH EDU LE arc used
again for creating, viewing, printing and modifying your own LOG. It's that simple!
TI1is time, however, you must fill out the
entire "file card(s)," Figures 1 and 2. Figure 2
shows the logged station 's "Address" card I.hat
you can fill out or modify via the ADDR ESS
BOOK EDITOR. Ycp! Same procedure yet again .
See all the power you've learned in such a short
time?
The control of all of the functions of the
program is via the Escape key, the Up/Down
arrow keys and the Enter key. TI1e Escape key
will get you out of any screen which docs not have
explicit instruction in how to return to a menu
screen. TI1e arrow keys will move you up/down
menu choices on d ifferent menu screens. The
Enter key will move you around the "file card"
form s (Figures I and 2) that you fill out for each
station that you log; going from "file card" sections such as "DATE" to " PROGRAM
DETAILS."
Secondary commands which you arc
prompted to use by the screen instructions arc
Fl 0, which brings up lists such as stations already
logged, and Page Up/Down keys which page
through these lists instead of using t11e arrow keys
to go a line al a time. Enough! Too many words

Conclusions
and Suggestions
One nice use of DXLOG is on a laptop
computer along with a small battery-operated
shortwave radio. You can move your easy chair
to the window, or fireplace or dockside. Unfortunately, on a laptop LCD screen DXLOG does
not show the cursor, the place where you arc
about to enter data. TI1is becomes a real PAIN.
The authors should incl ude a setup procedure
which allows use on a monochrome LCD screen.
If they have included one and I' ve missed it, then
t11ey have violated KISS.
An annoying, but not serious naw, has to do
with returning to previous menu screens. When
you do this, instead of the highlight bar going lo
your previous choice on the screen, it is reset to
the first choice at the top of the menu . Leaming
the "ropes" the first time would be made even
simpler if you could re-trace your steps.
Being even more picky, I think that if the
menu screens were beucr formaucd they would
require less menu searching/scanning.
But even with these comments, DXLOG is
structured so that it will become your useful
servant and, more importantly, your friend in a
few minutes. At Sl 9.95 plus S2.00 shipping and
handling, DXLOG is an okay value. DXLOG
vers ion 3.2 is available from Data Designs, 210
Ycster Oaks Drive, Mobile, AL 36608. Don' t
forget to specify your floppy disk type.
Now don't misunderstand me: Many of the
other programs that have been reviewed in this
column have the same, or greater features. Remember though, the purpose thi s month is
simplicity. DXLOGdocsn 't provide a total moni toring environment, but sometimes even gourmets
hunger for a SIMPLE hamburger.

The CMOS switch should be very close to the keyboard connector with
only 1-1/2" inch wires from U-2, Pins 1 & 2. The other wires can bc of any
practical length.
A +5v high from the Q output puts a +5v high at the control pin of the
switch and makes the switch close. The 1/2-sec pulse comes at the end of
the scanner 's squelch break to lock out the channel. A number of possible
trigger points were tes ted and the squelch gate was determined to be best.
Other points caused two lockout pulses to be created which locked out not
only the desired channel, but the next one, too!
The PR0 -2004's squelch gate, available at CN-504, pin 9, is high at
+5v when squelch is set and low at 0-v when squelch breaks. The PR02005/6 arc the same as the PR0-2004, but the squelch gate is at CN-3, pin
5.
One note here: the circuit is set up so that when you enable the
AutoTag function, it will immediately output a Test Lockout pulse. This
is an operational check, so just press the lockout key to remove the test
lockout and you' re ready lo start the AutoTagging operation. Be sure to
unlock ALL channels before you start AutoTagging. That's it for this
month' s circuit, so enjoy lo the max!

Closing Comments
Another Win for the Cellular Pac
The well-funded Washington lobby known as
the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) once again sneaked a last-minute, selfserving provision into a pending bill just before
Congressional adjournment. And once again, it
worked.
The profit-driven cellular investors are unconcerned with the erosion of our historical freedom of
access to the ai rwaves which their commercial
legislation has wrough t; neighboring Canada and
even former Com munist countries now have more
listening rights than Americans.
HR-6191, the "Pay-Per-Call" Bill, became
Public Law P.L.102-556 when signed on October
28, 1992, by President Bush. While the major thrust
of the Bill is to protect consumers from abusive 900exchange pay-per-call advertising, it also contains a
ringer: an anti-cell ular scanner prov ision.
The issue is not an individual's right to privacy;
it is cellular's continuous evasion of their moral and
legal responsibility to protect their customers'
conversations from being broadcast in the clear. And
they have successfully evaded it once again through
misleading lobbying, all to avoid paying slightl y
more for telephone scrambling.
The new Jaw will require the FCC to deny
certification after April 28, 1993, to any scanning
receiver capable of tuning cellular frequencies, or
~::;;;;.::; readily alterable to receive cell ular freq uencies, or
~ ~ containi ng a descrambler for digitized cellular calls.
~ Six months later no such scanner can be manufac -
tured or imported .
FCC officials privately admit that they are
facing a regulatory nightmare. The current definition
of a "scanning receiver" is entirely inadequate LO
accommodate the new law. And what consti tutes
"readily altered"? A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
is being prepared and released at this time; a public
comment period will follow.
Current cellular-capable scanners should be
legally available for at least a year since there is no
