CHhIRHAWS BIT

F i r s t a belated happy new year t o a l l members e s p e c i a l l y t o those who d i d n ' t a t tend the Annual 6eneral Heetinq.

I was again e l ec ted a s Chairman with Vice Chairman Ray (606PR) , Secretary Col in ( B O A A O ) and Treasurer Reg (64KHW 1 .

We a r e a l l hoping t h a t t h e club wi l l be a l i t t l e more ac t ive both on and off the a i r a s t h e r e i s s t i l l a l o t more t o be completed i n t he c lub room. Any exper t a s s i s t a n c e would be much appreciated, any budding jo ine r s or p a i n t e r s ?

Financia l ly the Club should be on a sound foot ing once again w i t h t he main fund r a i s i n g event , t he Annual Componants Fai r f u l l y booked f o r t h i s year and a l l d e a l e r s having paid t h e r e depos i t s .

A t t h e A.0.H. i t was proposad t h a t t h e club should buy a replacement fo r the H.F. Tranceiver , an SWRIPower meter and an A.T .U.

You wi l l agree w i t h me, I t h i n k c o s t l y items t o purchase. 80 a s not t o s t r e t c h the p r o f i t s from the Components Fai r I think i t wil l be necessary t o suppl&ent t h i s w i t h add i t iona l fund r a i s i n g e f f o r t s .

One suggestion t h a t has already been made is t h e holding of another Organ Concert. T h i s was very successful and r e l r t i v l y easy t o organise, t he only e f f o r t needed b y t he c lub mrmbers is i n t i c k e t s e l l i n g . If we rea ly want t o buy t h i s equipment we will have t o f i n d some of the money i n t h i s way. We a r e r e ly ing on members t o buy t h i s equipment w i t h your a s s i s t a n c e and e f f o r t .

Again we wi l l be requi r ing a s s i s t a n c e w i t h t ha Components Fa i r , a s many members a s poss ib le who can help p lease l e t us know a s soon a s poss ib le s o a s we can organise some form of r o t a of jobs, so t h a t you a r e not ' t i ed ' a l l day.

Also of i n t e r e s t t o us a s a club is t h e f ace l i f t t h a t t h e Centre is receiving. The f r o n t of the building has already been painted. The car park i s being enlarged and building work wi l l be commencing i n Harch with the cons t ruc t ion of a new ent rance foyer t o the main h a l l .

T h i s will be of bene f i t t a : h a s most of our fund r a i s i n g funct ions a r e held i n t he main h a l l .

Horse Classes a r e s t i l l being held on a Monday evening although we f e l t t h a t anyone who was not a member should be charged Sop per lesson i f they do not want t o join t h e club. Anyone who wishes t o take morses c l a s s e s see e i t h e r Reg 64KHW or Tom 038PH.

Fina l ly I would l i k e t o thank everyone who put i n time and e f f o r t t h r o u g h o u t l a s t year , and hope t h a t your support can s t i l l be counted on in the year i n f r o n t of us.

Those af you who don ' t know will no t i ce t h a t my c a l l s ign has changed, yes I ' v e managed t o pass the morse t e s t .

WWT IS A MILBOX? (Mbx) A mailbox i s a computer-based store-and -forward system f o r saving &I r e t r i e v i n g mossages dostined f o r i nd i v idua l amatour stat ions. I n the UK, several of the 14 l icensod dig ipeatere w i th GUS--ca l l s i gns now have operat ional mbxes, based on tho world famous WORLI mbx. This rnbx was o r i g i n a l ly developed i n the United Status by WORLI. A t present Surrey Univers i ty , G83UP and RSGB HQ, GBSHQ, are developing the software on the BBC computer. By using a mbx, you can deposit messages t o r s ta t i ons t o yead l a t e r . A messaae can be l e f t so t ha t only ono s ta t i on muy road i t or i t can be l e f t as pa r t of a l inked network so tha t i t may be passed automatical ly t o other mbxrs f o r r e t r i e v a l . I n the Uk experiments are on1 y j u s t beginning wi th l i n e d mbxrs.

I n the UK, most mat lboxes i i re found on 144.650 MHr. On the HF bands, the most common rnbx frequencies are 14101.3 and 14103.3 KHz.

LOOGING ON Tho f i r s t t h ing you have t o do i s t o log on. You do t h i s ueing the CONNECT command, jus t liko connecting t o an ordinary L ta t ion . For examp1e:CO-CT BBSKP, assuming the mbx i s not busy, 1 w i l l respond wi th a message l i koa it

To t e l l the rnbx your name you t yp r N (or n) fo l lwcd by a carr iage return. The rnbx w i l l then ask you f o r your name, which you type i n , again followed by a carr iage re turn . Then i n fu ture when you log on, you w i l l be groetod using your name i e HELLO JOHN GREENWOOD ( i f t h a t i s your name) every t ime you l og i n .

READING YOUR MAIL There are several ways which you can use t o read your mail , the simplost i s HM, meaning Read Min., when the eystom w i l l then show you the f u l l t o x t of a11 the messages sent t o you. You read your mearaqes one a t a t ime by saying, f o r example R 201 (where 201 i s the message number) and only message 201 w i l l be l ~ s t e d . You can also use the command Fi,ALL which w i l l l i s t the t e x t of a11 the awssdge6 addressed t o "ALL".

Havir~p rcad your mammagao, the f r i und l y tttrnq t o do i m t o dispomo of thorn, t o make room on the mailbox d isk f o r new ones.

To do t h i s use KM ( " K i l l Mine") command which removes a1l mossages addressed t o you, or you can say K 201 which w i l l d i spone of message 201.

You are on1 y a1 lowod t o remove messages which have boon addressed t o you personal ly or which you have s m t .

several l i n e s and you f i n a l l y terminate w i th contro l 2 . HERE ARE SONL IMPORTCINT GUIDELINES l.keep your messaqes very short8 more than 3 I ~ n e e (a t 80 chars a l i n e ) i c n a long messaqe 2. Terminate each l i n e of the messaqe

wi th a carr-iaon re tu rn ( a t most a f t e r RC1 charact.ers). Do not r e l y on screen wrapar-ot.knd t o o ive you a new l i n e . 3. F i l l each l i n e . Two BO-character l i n e s are much bet te r than e ight 20 charatt,er l ines . 4. No blank l i n e s or under l in ing. 5 . You do not need t o inc lude the To/From ca l l s i gns i n the meesage tex t I they appear automatical ly a t the head of the messaqe when i t i s read.

The object of these quidel ines i s t o minimiae mat lbox t r a f f i c on the frequency. Every line of your messaqe needs one packet frame, so i f your message contains many short l i n e s (and/ or hlank l i n e s ) , you w i l l he h o q q i n ~ the channel - t h i n i s made even worse i f you have t o c10 through several d ig ipeaters t o reach the mai lbow .
