I will be happy to assist those needing copies of out-of-copyright information for specific makes and models of receivers, transmitters, test equipment, etc.. The collection spans commercial, amateur, and military surplus gear of all types. Unfortunately I have not taken the time to catalog all this information, but it is logically filed by make, model, etc. If you need service information for a specific piece of equipment, (and I have the information in my collection) I will research and copy it for you. Cost will vary depending on the time required to find the information and the amount of pages to be copied. I estimate 10 pages or less at $1.00/page including US postage. I will quote on larger manuals. This is NOT my career or a business. Any requests must be prepaid or I will ship COD at additional postage costs. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dave Potter, K1MBO potter@think.com electronics theory, regulations, antennas and transmission lines, operating practices. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ There is an active mailing list for fans of hollow state (i.e. tube) radio equipment.

I'm the author of OrbitDRV (the tracking TSR that comes with InstantTrack) and a number of other InstantTrack auxilliary programs. 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 the future, an archive of files will be accessible by anonymous ftp or possibly by email. In the meantime, check the FTP site: ftp://ftp.ucsd.edu/hamradio/ for AMSAT-related files. Consult your local guru for help on using by anonymous ftp for AMSAT-related files. Consult your local guru for help on using anonymous ftp. 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. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Areas of Interest: ARES/RACES, Emergency Comm, and ARRL Field Organization. 73's de Steve Wilson, KA6S SCV Section Manager 813 Berryessa St. Milpitas, Ca 95035 Hm (408)946-7410 Wk (408)473-2580 stevew@netcom.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Witte HP Colorado Springs Division bobw@col.hp.com P.O.
