For those interested in using the "$Cnn" command for a special
extended ASCII character insertion, be sure to use the HTML
ASCII list rather than the familiar ALT-Numeric Keypad codes.
For instance, if you want to insert the DEGREE symbol for a
temperature report, you might use "$C176 F" or "$C176 C"
instead of the usual ALT-248 code that produced the same
extension in word processing programs such as WORD.

The Metacommand example probably should have been given
as "$Cnnn" since many of the extended characters you would
likely use have three numbers, instead of two.  Some ham radio
software will simply NOT accept extended ASCII characters.
Two examples that will are-- Zakanaka, & IZ8BLY's MT-63.

The band is kind of odd, but I am calling CQ in hopes someone can
read me.

For moderator.

I need to be able to send and receive E-Mail from dubose@... and
walt.dubose@....

When at home (dubose@...) I cannot see E-Mail on
walt.dubose@....

When at work (walt.dubose@...) I cannot see E-Mail at
dubose@....

Thanks,

Walt/K5YFW

PC< Cheers all.

Surely by now  randolph.af.mil has a web page you can go to and with
your emial address and a password you can read delete and send mail.
When things really got started we had no such thing and I who was
karl@... could not see my email until I was in the office. This got
real bad and I got a web page maker to build a simple one that we could
all use.

     As for the texas.net accounts I do this all the time. I put it all
on one computer or on seperate ones. My wife jlarsen@... gets
here mail when she wants it from the same DSL roooter I get
k5di@.... I could get them on the same computer if wanted.

Walt you need to check out <http://mail2web.com>
It allows you to access your POP/SMTP/IMAP mail servers from a web based
interface.  There are probably other services like this that I don't
know about. Your ISP might even have its own web mail application.

Subject: [MLUG] Court yanks down FCC's broadcast flag
Reply-To: tpeters@..., MLUG List <mlug-list@...>
To: mlug-list@...

[Woohoo!]
In a stunning victory for hardware makers and television buffs, a federal
appeals court has tossed out government rules that would have outlawed
many digital TV receivers and tuner cards starting July 1.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled Friday that the
Federal Communications Commission did not have the authority to prohibit
the manufacture of computer and video hardware that doesn't have copy
protection technology known as the "broadcast flag." The regulations,
which the FCC created in November 2003, had been intended to limit
unauthorized Internet redistribution of over-the-air TV broadcasts.

"The broadcast flag regulations exceed the agency's delegated authority
under the statute," a three-judge panel unanimously concluded. "The FCC
has no authority to regulate consumer electronic devices that can be used
for receipt of wire or radio communication when those devices are not
engaged in the process of radio or wire transmission." (Click here for a
PDF of the decision.)

One result of Friday's ruling is that, unless it's eventually overturned
by a higher court, the fight over digital TV piracy will return to Capitol
Hill. The D.C. appeals court noted that the FCC "has no power to act"
until "Congress confers power on it" through enacting a law explicitly
authorizing the broadcast flag.

Under the FCC rules, starting in July digital TV tuner manufacturers would
have had to include the broadcast flag. The flag limits a person's ability
to redistribute video clips made from the recorded over-the-air
broadcasts.

But in January, a coalition of librarians and public interest groups filed
suit against the regulations, arguing that they would sharply curtail the
ability of librarians and consumers to make "fair use" of copyrighted
works and would curb interoperability between devices.

Friday's ruling represents a sizable setback for the Motion Picture
Association of America, which had lobbied for the broadcast flag rules and
had intervened in the lawsuit to defend them. But it's a reprieve for
makers of HDTV sets, PC tuner cards, and USB and Firewire tuners--which
will no longer have to redesign their products to comply with FCC rules.

*A dialogue by Terry Bisson. From a series of stories entitled
"Alien/Nation" in the April, 1991 issue of Omni. *

"They're made out of meat."

"Meat?"

"Meat. They're made out of meat."

"Meat?"

"There's no doubt about it. We picked several from different parts of the
planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, probed them all the through.
They're completely meat."

"That's impossible. What about the radio signals? The messages to the
stars."

"They use the radio waves to talk, but the signals don't come from them. The
signals come from machines."

"So who made the machines? That's who we want to contact."

"They made the machines. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Meat made the
machines."

"That's ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? You're asking me to believe
in sentient meat."

"I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. These creatures are the only sentient
race in the sector and they're made out of meat."

"Maybe they're like the orfolei. You know, a carbon-based intelligence that
goes through a meat stage."

"Nope. They're born meat and they die meat. We studied them for several of
their life spams, which didn't take too long. Do you have any idea the life
spam of meat?"

"Spare me. Okay, maybe they're only part meat. You know, like the weddilei.
A meat head with an electron plamsa brain inside."

"Nope. We thought of that, since they do have meat heads like the weddilei.
But I told you, we probed them. They're meat all the way through."

"No brain?"

"Oh, there is a brain all right. It's just that the brain is made out of
meat!"

"So... what does the thinking?"

"You're not understanding, are you? The brain does the thinking. The meat."

"Thinking meat! You're asking me to believe in thinking meat!"

"Yes, thinking meat! Conscious meat! Loving meat. Dreaming meat. The meat is
the whole deal! Are you getting the picture?"

"Omigod. You're serious then. They're made out of meat."

"Finally. Yes, they are indeed made out meat. And they've been trying to get
in touch with us for almost a hundred of their years."

"So what does the meat have in mind."

"First it wants to talk to us. Then I imagine it wants to explore the
universe, contact other sentients, swap ideas and information. The usual."

"We're supposed to talk to meat?"

"That's the idea. That's the message they're sending out by radio. 'Hello.
Anyone out there? Anyone home?' That sort of thing."

"They actually do talk, then. They use words, ideas, concepts?"

"Oh, yes. Except they do it with meat."

"I thought you just told me they used radio."

"They do, but what do you think is on the radio? Meat sounds. You know how
when you slap or flap meat it makes a noise? They talk by flapping their
meat at each other. They can even sing by squirting air through their meat."

"Omigod. Singing meat. This is altogether too much. So what do you advise?"

"Officially or unofficially?"

"Both."

"Officially, we are required to contact, welcome, and log in any and all
sentient races or multibeings in the quadrant, without prejudice, fear, or
favor. Unofficially, I advise that we erase the reconds and forget the whole
thing."

"I was hoping you would say that."

"It seems harsh, but there is a limit. Do we really want to make contact
with meat?"

"I agree one hundred percent. What's there to say?" `Hello, meat. How's it
going?' But will this work? How many planets are we dealing with here?"

"Just one. They can travel to other planets in special meat containers, but
they can't live on them. And being meat, they only travel through C-space.
which limits them to the speed of light and makes the possibility of their
ever making contact pretty slim. Infinitesimal, in fact."

"So we just pretend there's no one home in the universe."

"That's it."

"Cruel. But you said it yourself, who wants to meet meat? And the ones who
have been aboard our vessels, the ones you have probed? You're sure they
won't remember?"

"They'll be considered crackpots if they do. We went into their heads and
smoothed out their meat so that we're just a dream to them."

"A dream to meat! How strangely appropiate, that we should be meat's dream."

"And we can mark this sector unoccupied."

"Good. Agreed, officially and unofficially. Case closed. Any others? Anyone
interesting on that side of the galaxy?"

"Yes, a rather shy but sweet hydrogen core cluster intelligence in a class
nine star in G445 zone. Was in contact two galactic rotation ago, wants to
be friendly again."

"They always come around."

"And why not? Imagine how unbearably, how unutterably cold the universe
would be if one were all alone."

I copied a W2 on 7.090 as suggested, but was unable to establish a QSO.
His signal appeared to only fill 2/3 of the tuning area.  As suggested in
the file, I was using 500hz width and short interleave.

Poor band conditions have not helped our effort to get a 40 meter MT-63
operation going on 7090 (see file by the same name) - However, the
following stations have been seen on frequency: EA3AQS, WB4M, N2TIF,
VE3SHL, W2TQS and W3OQ - Please join us in order to get this effort
over the hump - Note to N7OR: that was the choice of the moderator.

We wanted a frequency on 80 because the solar flares are effecting
80 less it seems. And we wanted to go about 2-300 miles. W5ALL is in
Roswell about 220 miles from Las Cruces and we started at 1910 local
time 7:10PM and we had real good signals. Then a station from Hobbs came
on and I sent a long file to both of them.

     The band conditions were terrible with a high noise level and wild
selective fade. But MT63 got us through with very few drop outs. It was
a fun evening.

karl k5di

I'm watching the band noise level change on the waterfall display.
It is a real good display of the earths magnetic field being cut by junk
from the sun, and while doing this it generates millions of amps of AC
signal centered about 10 MHz. This is what I'm watching.

     Be glad to work you if you give me a call.

The band was good yesterday and I called a bunch of CQ's and
didn't work anyone. I had my stuuf on while I did other things. I would
call CQ, watch the screen for a minute, then go do a Honey Do. Come back
and see that ANOTHER station was calling CQ. Alas there is no date and
time on that CQ so I don't know if it is 1 minute before or 20 minutes
before.


     Point one. Please check your macral list and find the symbol your
system uses to print the date and time, and add it to your CQ macral. On
my Linux gMFSK it is "Time:$time ($utctime) Date:$date". It will be
different on MixW and other software.

     Point two. We need a bell to ring when our system detects an
incoming MT63 signal. Since my Linux stuff is written to a file, line by
line, there should be a way to write the line and make a noise. Tomi are
you out there?
