This is a beacon transmitting aurora warnings. There are three terms: "NO AURORA", "WEAK AURORA" and "STRONG AURORA". It is located up in far northern Germany, very close to the Danish border. It runs 100 watts to a dipole and should be audible all over Europe during daylight hours and within 8000km during nighttime. There is even a little receiver kit available (x-tal controlled, fixed frequency) to monitor. DK0WCY has been on since a number of years and proves to be a valuable tool for European VHF DXers. 73 Ben, DL6RAI ------------------------------ Date: 16 Mar 91 21:21:38 GMT From: usc!sdd.hp.com!hp-col!col!bobw@ucsd.edu Subject: CBers on 2m?

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu re: cable TV interference from a ham. The first point is that this is probably not the fault of the ham transmitter. The cable system is supposed to be completely shielded -- if it is not, there is nothing the ham can do at his end to fix it. TRY THIS FIRST: With cable TVI, the problem is often that the amateur signal is picked up on the OUTSIDE of the coax cable shield. Most TV sets unfortunately do not have very good rejection of these "common mode" signals. An easy fix is to wrap the cable several times through a high-permeability toroid core. Do this near the TV set antenna jack. A good source of toroids is old TV set deflection coils. (Cut the wire off the def. coil before use.) You might try the same trick with the AC line cord. Many ham clubs have Interference Committees to work on these kinds of problems. If you don't know how to contact your local ham club, write the ARRL and ask for the name of the Section Technical Coordinator for your area. ARRL, 225 Main St., Newington, CT 06111.

This reminded me that the Canadian bands changed a while back so that SSB (or anything taking up less than a certain bandwidth) is now legal anywhere in the VE ham bands. Does anyone else think that this is a Bad Thing? At the time, we were told that the VEs would voluntarily observe the pre-existing band plans, but in that case why change them? What I heard is, I fear, perfectly legal, but I think it's thoughtless too. One SSB QSO can wipe out bandwidth that can accommodate a lot of CW QSOs. I admit that I didn't wait around to hear the calls (none given during the few minutes I listened), the accents were VE-ish. I haven't come across anything similar on any of the other HF bands - yet.

I have a question about power supply design. I bought a 55 volt, 2 amp (both rms values) transformer with the intent of building a supply that could deliver 80 watts or so. However, I've become concerned about heating in the transformer. Because the rectifier/filter capacitor pair only draw current from the transformer for a brief period each half cycle, the RI^2 heating is higher than it would be for an equal current flow under continuous duty. I see three options: 1. Let the transformer run hot 2. Back off on my power supply requirements. I think I can get 60 volts at 0.7 amps without two much trouble. 40 watts rather than 80. 3. Use a choke input filter rather than a capacitor input filter. This will lower the DC voltage somewhat, but it's plenty high anyway. Any advice out there? Has anyone consistently driven transformers beyond their ratings? I'm sure there's a safety margin built in, but have no idea how large it is. Thanks!
