The C*Base NITTY GRITTY: These posts were saved to the system in "chunks" of five. (This saved some space on the drives of the BBS.) I have divided each "chunk" with a line showing the "post numbers" for the following "chunk". Within the C*Base software, there was code to embed "header" information into a graphically pleasing layout, which is nearly impossible for me to reproduce. Therefore, the information is simply presented in it's "raw" format, as follows: ------------------ dividing ----- line ---------------- "SUBJECT" (USER NUMBER) (USER's NAME/Nickname) (DATE the post was made) ("Location" of the user) (TIME the post was made) (TEXT of the user's post.......) .... .... ------------------ dividing ----- line ---------------- (followed by next post) Now, on with the messages. At the bottm is a LINK to take you to the next "sub-board". There are a total of 15.

Lessa there will be 43 Dreis 7/7/94 in the can 6:09 pm room for feline occupancy... I dont know if Daffy and Piv will get along‚ though?!? DREIS THE MAGNIFICENT We will 12 Lessa 7/11/94 MOVING THROUGH TIME 10:34 pm put Piv in the carrier where he can be safe and Daffy will sit outside and sneer at poor little him. Lessa ------------- 845-849 -----------Is 21 Rich 7/12/94 Lost in Space 12:52 am that fair to Piv? :( fair and survival 43 Dreis 7/12/94 in the can 6:17 am rarely go hand in hand... would it be more fair to leave him out to get whatever comes of this??? DREIS 12AT7 vxo 7 WyreBall 7/12/94 A.S.Hindenburg-Radio Room 6:52 am Coming SOON in a post near you! 6AQ5... 1 Willie... 7/18/94 Running The Ship 10:33 am I *THINK* I have one of those... Will have to check parts pile... Randy‚ I *DO* have a 150-190 Khz Rx... remember I told you about an old clock radio that I converted? I was picking up the 200Khz beacons... and "TUK" was loud and clear! I could also tune in and hear the carrier from that 179Khz x-mit we designed last year. (With the IRF510 and 3.58 x-tal‚ etc) I just don't remember where I put it‚ now! <grumble> :[ well‚ FIND it! 7 WyreBall 7/18/94 A.S.Hindenburg-Radio Room 1:08 pm Up where I is‚ we been hearing Meridanmarkum aeroport beacon (MMK) on I think ...oh Ill have to go dial and loo again... so the air IS there alright.... Ill see about setting up a beacon on 179kc that sends WRF or somthing repeatedly ‚ at 1 watt and see if you can hear it. When I move down stirs I can REALLY set up shop and do all this stuf RIGHT ------------- 850-854 -----------lowfer beacon 43 Dreis 7/22/94 in the can 1:39 am Wyre and I will get the beacon operational once we get his transition over with‚ and get the lab set up. Antenna is still under discussion for this project‚ I think we should load up the power lines!!!( in common mode) and see how that works. Wyre is still in favor of running coax over to the AMTRAK rails and using them... the other possibility is a 5000 foot spool of #14 copper and a weather baloon... dont know how the FAA will like it though. DREIS I hope 12 Lessa 7/22/94 MOVING THROUGH TIME 12:56 pm you got all the parts since I still have quite a few under my tables.... Lessa ohh! 7 WyreBall 7/22/94 N1GVA Dungeon- Radio Room 7:35 pm So THATS where the missing parts are! Hey Dreis.....all those ideas sound workable‚ except for the one bug you pointed out in each...plus‚ the darn train would run over our wire in mid-transmission and we'd re-enact whgat willie doid on HIS lowfer rig! I am gonna use a 63ft ant just like wjat is at Hals....begin at window‚ run up‚ on angle‚ go out back to a pole. Tuner will sit on window sill (and scare all the spiders...I hope). 10 mtr vert will be a separate ant as it was a few monthes ago... 63' wire will....with 5-9 mh coil‚ resonate on lowfer band (160-190kc). Ciol will also sit on window sill. Rigs will go on the shelves that will line the wall by that widow For now tho‚ Im off air until I re-install wire ant...need to get to store...after I get some $$$‚ that is... :) Lowfer this‚ lowfer that... 1 Willie... 7/26/94 Running The Ship 10:55 am I recently wound a 2 foot loop‚ which should work "down there". If not‚ I'll simply add capacitance! I know that radio is here SOMEWHERE... just gotta scrounge it up. Another idea would be to use a 3.58 X-tal‚ and make a CONVERTOR for my 80 meter rig! Wyre‚ perhaps you could sketch something up with a pentagrid tube? Or‚ i could even just take one of those "5-tube radios" I have‚ and change the coils‚ and add positive feedback for Q-mult and BFO in the IF! Wyre‚ which idea should I pursue? Also‚ I still have that 179 X-mit... Is that what you will use to drive yours? A 3.58/20 ckt? colorburst 43 Dreis 7/26/94 in the can 11:44 pm XTAL on lowfer is probably what will be used for the beacon‚ but a different freq will be used for actual communications. In the interest of propagation testing‚ I have been monitoring the following aviation beacons: MMK Meriden‚CT 238Khz TBY Waterbury‚ CT 257 HF Newington‚ CT 244 BDL Windsor Locks‚ CT 174 OX Oxford‚ CT 362 BID Block Island 216 TUK Nantucket Island 194 PIC Peconic‚ Long Island 339 BBN Babylon‚ Long Island 275 JF Kenedy International Apt. 373 FO Unidentified!!! 400 PO Meier‚ NY. 403 £i1 If anyone has the capabilities to receive down here‚ and is interested‚ then a good LONG wire and an AM receiver is all that is required... a simple tuner can be devised for wires less than the resonant 1 mile length!!!(1.03 miles at 180Khz to be exact) there is NO license required to transmit here either!!!(170-190Khz) so for those interested in radio‚ this is a place to play... See you There... DREIS ------------- 855-859 -----------Yes 12 Lessa 8/13/94 MOVING THROUGH TIME 3:03 pm it should be a lot of fun finding out about things there. Lessa WYRE intercoms... 1 Willie... 8/15/94 Running The Ship 12:01 am Yes‚ I used to have them (still do‚ in cold storage! hehe) when I lived with my dad. They ran between my workshop in basement and the rest of the house upstairs. Randy‚ you visited that place way way back around the time you and I "found" WFIF!!! As for a tube version of LOWFER X-Mit‚ why not HYBRID? (ULTIMATE H-brid!) It will be ultimate because it will involve IC's‚ Transistors‚ and TUBES!!! I'll use the 3.58/20 thing‚ because it is already built‚ debugged‚ etc. With 5v P-P output‚ it shoud drive a tube to give 1 watt‚ right? No.. 7 WyreBall 8/16/94 At LESSA's! 1:14 pm the output from TTL is rwally 1.2 vac (square wave‚ after taking in acct the actaul effective voltage you really get...plus the fact that TTL does NOT swing rail to trail‚ but more like from .6v to 2.5v... from a dc satnd point...so effective sig will be 1.2vac) OK...you can tho still drive a tube like a 6AU6 which then will do 1 watt[ 125v screen...250vdc palte‚ 68 ohm kath resistor and palte tuned with cap/coil equal to Xl Xc of 10k You will get yer watt...but not get 5 v p-p ! Yes... I suppose ya could do that but its a kludge...which usually gives trouble later....so EITHER the n/20 and all ICs and tranasusitor...or a all tube rig using a regen detector.. [ rf]--[detector]--[audio amps] ! ! ! [final]---[xtal osc] / ! ! / !...!.....key ! Tr switch also Cost of xatl will be less than the 3.58mc and n/20 guts plus wiring not so touchy (remeber when you made rig and roasted the IRF511?) Such palns are on hold till we move...so its all just discussing right now...want it to be SIMPLE Besides...aside from intercom‚ there'll be no NEED for such a rig‚ as Id be IN dame house! heh heh How 'bout... 1 Willie... 8/17/94 Running The Ship 6:25 pm just use a regular bipolar transistor instead of that IRF511 thing? If you remember my "experiments" you heard on 1160am way back when‚ that transmitter was using a number 180 transistor as a final. It was one of those "huge" transistors from the class A audio output of a boat-anchor car radio. It pumped about 3 or 4 watts at 1160Khz‚ so I suppose a TIP3055 or something similar should do A-OK with 179 Khz‚ right? :) Willie... yes n no 7 WyreBall 8/18/94 At LESSA's! 10:27 am Youll get yer 3-4 watts (at very low eff...need .7-1.3 watt drive‚ due to Ft ratings) ... but TTL can only give 500 uA current per gate. Youd need to hex-up 6 gates to get only 3 ma! (74LS04) IRF511 will work x nice with such a drive...but a TIP3055....to get the neeeded 400ma collector current will need ... collector/hfe= base current (and thats at 1/10 th the freq of Ft) Ft is equal (enuff) to where Hfe = 1 At 1/10 th Freq of Ft‚ you get Hfe At 1/100th freq..you get 100--OR what ever max Hfe is for that transitor. IRF511 will work at least up to 30mc Its input uuf ( about 600pf) determines how much drive you need‚ sence a cap shunt to gnd acts like a freq sensitive resistor to gnd... higher freqs see less ohms!...need more drive (watts) HOWEVER...IRF will beat a TIP 3055 as far as drive needs...needs a lot less Exception... if you use a 7406 and use its collectors (7 ma each!) in tandem to run to 2.5vdc via a resistor (so a dead short wont pass more than 40ma) you can then drive the base. BE SURE that if you have no didgital signal‚ that the base sees 0volts! Else ‚ if signal stops for any reason‚ transistor will say: WHEEE! I am a super conductor! you kow the rest ------------- 860-864 -----------Anyone? 24 Mr. Computer Wiz 9/8/94 NCC-1701-E 4:46 pm Anyone know where I can get a 75-100pf Adjustable Capacitor? I tried Hatree's on the Bulivard in NH but they said that they didn't have that high a one....... Help! M. C. W. Hatree 12 Lessa 9/10/94 MOVING THROUGH TIME 1:31 pm dMost of those things are antiques or almost now. You will to look on Colmiks for suppliers.
