Re: Off Topic - *FREE* Kenwood SX-838 Stereo Receiver
Hello Michael - Did you try to troubleshoot and repair this receiver?? Did Kenwood make Pioneer equipment?? This is very tempting, but I don't know when I will be back in the Richardson area; I have to get back sometime to move out and sell my parent's house in Dallas. Mostly, I have been waiting for the COVID-19 virus to leave north?Texas.? I hate for things like this to go to a dumpster. The would probably like to have this.? It looks like the schematic and service manual can be downloaded for FREE at?.?

Howdy,
?
A new HAM, Bobbie Neubert, KI5PFR, who lives near Grapevine, needs assistance. She wants to connect to a local repeater. The Grapevine repeater is programmed into her hand-held radio. She also wants to connect to repeaters via echolink. She needs help with choice of radios and antennas and HAM support.
?
I hope that someone will contact her and provide assistance.

Re: [ARRLNTX] Survey of In-Person Ham License Training and In-Person Testing
Howdy,
?
Bill, K5DHY, and John, N5TIM, are correct. The Garland Amateur Radio Club, K5QHD, has been running Technician and General classes. We just finished a technician class. We are going to try to have a either another Technician or General class before the end of the year.
?
Yes,? ? is a good resource and recommended by the ARRL.
?
I estimate that 75% of new hams are self taught. They are encouraged to contract? <education@...>? with their questions or to enquirer about the next class. They are welcome to visit: ?
?
I am here if they have any questions.? Again? <education@...>
?
Thanks,

Hi All,
An "Uncooked Ham" reached out to me to ask about availability of in-person training for a technician license in DFW. Park Cities ARC has not begun any in-person training (we were born during the pandemic) and are still building out our first VE testing team.
Could you take a moment to respond back and let me know if your club is currently offering in-person training and testing?
73,

FEMA Announces HF Interoperability Activity on 60-Meter Channels 1 and 2
For users of 60M, take note ---Fwd by Frank KR5N?
FEMA Announces HF Interoperability Activity on 60-Meter Channels 1 and 208/30/2021Channels 1 and 2 on 60 meters will be available starting on August 30 for interoperability between US government and US amateur radio stations involved in Hurricane Ida emergency communications. This situation will remain in place until the storm has passed and the need for these channels no longer exists, or on September 6, whichever comes first. These frequencies will be used: Channel 1 Primary voice traffic 5332 kHz channel center, 5330.5 kHz USB voice; and Channel 2 Digital traffic 5348 kHz channel center, 5346.5 kHz USB with 1.5 kHz offset to center of digital waveform. Stations on 60 meters are asked to yield to operational traffic related to Hurricane Ida.

FCC Grants Temporary Waiver to Permit Higher Symbol Rate Data Transmissions for Hurricane Ida Traffic
Forwarded by Frank KR5N
?tinyurl.com/arrl-fcc-waiver-ida
Sunday, August 29, 2021
The FCC has granted an ARRL emergency request for a temporary waiver
intended to facilitate relief communications in the wake of Hurricane
Ida. The waiver was orally granted on Saturday, August 28, and
immediately permitted amateur data transmissions related to Hurricane
Ida traffic to employ a higher symbol rate for data transmissions than
the current limit of 300 baud.
ARRL pointed out in its request that Amateur Radio Emergency Service?
(ARES?) members are working with federal, state, and local emergency
management officials to assist with disaster relief. Many use radio
modems and personal computers capable of using digital protocols and
modes that would permit faster messaging rates than normally permitted
under the FCC¡¯s rules. ARRL pointed out that higher data rates can be
critical to timely transmission of relief communications, such as lists
of needed and distributed supplies.
In 2016, in response to an ARRL petition for rulemaking, the FCC
proposed to remove the symbol rate limitations, which it tentatively
concluded had become unnecessary due to advances in modulation
techniques and no longer served a useful purpose. That proceeding, WT
Docket 16-239, is still pending. ARRL sought the waiver for radio
amateurs directly involved with hurricane relief on HF using high-speed
data transmissions, and the FCC orally granted the emergency temporary
waiver for traffic related to Hurricane Ida. The temporary waiver is
good until a written decision is made on ARRL¡¯s request that would
cover the remainder of the hurricane season.
Pursuant to ARRL¡¯s request and similar to written waivers granted by
the FCC in earlier years, to qualify, a protocol or mode exceeding the
300 baud symbol rate limit must (1) be publicly documented, (2) use no
more bandwidth than the currently permissible slower protocols
(generally accepted to be the bandwidth of an SSB signal, or 2.8 kHz),
and (3) be used solely for communications related to Hurricane Ida. ARRL
is hopeful that the FCC will grant a longer-term waiver this week to
enable planning and communications for any additional hurricanes this
season.
