It should be noted that Steve Jobs ‘cut his teeth’ on Heathkit Amateur Radio kits so I’m led to believe…

Comment on RSGB Board Minutes for March by Boss

Boss — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 22:03:14 +0000

It so sorry that the RSGB is such a secretive limited company. The Memorandum of Understanding from Ofcom. (transfer of work from Ofcom), should be a matter of public record not a ‘members only’ document in the company’s board minutes.

Comment on Amateur radio repeater abuse as an ‘art form’ Video searched for by Boss

Boss — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 10:06:16 +0000

Art Form…. I missed this BBC2 Arena programme, saved me a call to the Duty Office at the BBC! You used to tune to the repeaters of the West Midlands and that’s all you ever seemed to hear. It helped to kill off VHF around here after it found it’s way on to simplex, probably not the same guy, copycats around the area playing that tune and others.

Just to keep the record straight, an Indonesian Lighthouse participated in the 2004 International Lighthouse Lightship Weekend. The entrant/operator was YB2GDR at Teluk Penyu lighthouse.
I hope this current activation will also lead to entries in the 2011 ILLW event which takes place on 20-21 August 2011. Please see our ILLW web site at http://illw.net for further information and entry form.

Comment on Radio ham arrested at airport by Boss

Boss — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 11:13:38 +0000

Ok being at the airport in question when Air Force One and the President of the US was there and carrying a gun might be perceived as being a little un-wise, but it was not a gun being waived that caused the guy to be arrested. They only found the gun which he had a permit for as a concealed weapon when we was arrested. The thing that caused the guy to be hauled over was his amateur radio number plates,camera and aerials. Could this happen in the UK?

Ok, put the gun aside, we are not allowed to carry such things, but cameras yes, radio equipment yes. These post 9/11 and &/& days the taking of photos now especially in towns and cities causes ‘involvements’ from, security, police and the general public. My cameras now stays at home, but it seems to be acceptable to use your camera phone???

Radio equipment, well that’s another story….

Comment on Copper Wire by Boss

Boss — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 21:45:38 +0000

I have had words with a construction worker in Birmingham, England, who can confirm, that at the depth of 50 feet there is no sign of copper wires, therefore the UK must have gone wireless 200 years before the US of A! Anyone better this re-discovery of technology?

Comment on Narrowband version of ROS by Boss

Boss — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 17:29:18 +0000

If you are using Vista and have a run code error 75. Run ROS for the first time in administrator mode. Easily done, just right click on the setup programme say yes to everything. The next time you will just need to left click as normal.

Comment on FCC Reaffirms Statement on ROS by Boss

Boss — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 12:26:04 +0000

So there you have it ROS is OK above 222MHz. Seems to be a non US mode. Any other countries it’s not permitted in I wonder… Everybody dives off to read their Licensing Regulations… Now where are they???

Comment on Amateur Radio data mode ROS proving popular by Boss

Boss — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 23:29:00 +0000

Currently there is a problem if you are using Vista, an error code 75 comes up when you attempt to run the program. An update is on the way and indeed the source code for a Linux version is also on the way too. So if you run Vista and find it does not run OK refer back to http://rosmodem.wordpress.com for info and the fix when available.

Simple fix – Right click on icon, click on run as administrator. ROS will then run OK and the next time just left click as normal….
