The W6JWS 2-meter Repeater Maintenance and Repair Log documents the ongoing upkeep of a 146.745 MHz repeater, specifically addressing modifications to enhance its functionality. It details changes made to ensure the repeater powers up in _PL mode_ and to improve the reliability of touch-tone control, drawing comparisons to similar work performed on the AE6KE repeater. The log also notes a repair to a fused wire in the reverse battery protection circuit after an accidental polarity reversal, highlighting a temporary workaround where a wire was omitted but the system remained operational. The resource includes practical insights from Jeff Liebermann, AE6KS, regarding jumper configurations and programming, with accompanying photos. It provides access to several documents for the Icom RP-1510 repeater, including operating manuals and a schematic for the single logic board version, which differs from the dual-board configuration described in some printed manuals. The log mentions a specific modification to adjust the dropout delay, which was later deemed unnecessary, and references a related project for the AE6KE repeater, aiming to replicate successful modifications on the W6JWS machine, resulting in improved touch-tone reliability and proper PL mode activation.

This resource provides a historical analysis of amateur radio call sign assignment policies in the United States, detailing regulatory shifts from the Department of Commerce to the Federal Radio Commission (FRC) and subsequently the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). It documents the evolution of call sign issuance, from early reissuance practices in the 1920s to the implementation of the Group Call Sign Assignment System on March 24, 1978. This system categorized call signs (e.g., 1x2, 2x1, 1x3, 2x3 formats) into groups A, B, C, and D, correlating with license classes such as Extra, Advanced, General, and Novice, and specifying prefixes for contiguous U.S. and territorial areas (e.g., _AH_, _KP_, _KL_). The document further details the legislative process leading to the modern Vanity Call Sign program, initiated by a petition in June 1990 and formalized by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of August 10, 1993. It outlines the FCC's adoption of final rules on December 23, 1994, and the subsequent fee structure, with the first vanity call sign issued on May 31, 1996, at a cost of **$30.00** for a ten-year term. The ARRL's proposed "starting gates" implementation strategy is also described, which phased in eligibility for vanity call signs based on license class and prior holder status.

DL7JV shares his practical experience building and testing capacitive antennas, initially skeptical of their performance compared to magnetic loops and mono-band dipoles. His interest was piqued after hearing a Spanish station running 100 Watts on 80 meters with a 1-meter Micro Vert, making DX contacts into PY and UA0, despite the antenna being only 4 meters high in a garden. This prompted DL7JV to investigate further, consulting resources from DL7PE and DL7AHW, the latter providing DOS programs like "Mitspule.exe" and "Spulenprg.zip" for calculating antenna dimensions and coil conversions. The article outlines the construction of two prototype antennas: one for 7.050 MHz using a 75mm PVC pipe and another for 3.550 MHz with a 110mm PVC pipe. Both designs feature aluminum foil condensers and coils wound from 1mm² H07V-K wire. DL7JV provides specific measurements for the condenser capacitance, surface area, diameter, height, coil inductance, turns, and wire length for both 40m and 80m versions, along with RG58 feedline lengths. Initial reception tests for the 7 MHz antenna, placed indoors, yielded impressive S9+5 signals from a German station compared to an S8 from a 42-meter roof-mounted loop, even hearing a Japanese station. Transmission attempts on April 4, 2004, despite moderate solar storm conditions, resulted in successful QSOs on 7 MHz with EA5OT (579/559) and on 3.5 MHz with YT1NT (579/559) and G4KKI (579/559) using 100 Watts. DL7JV notes the antenna's sensitivity to coordination and feedline layout, suggesting a modification from DL7AXO involving a 500pF fixed capacitor and coil tap for improved SWR stability. He concludes that while the capacitive antenna is space-saving and performs well for reception and 100W transmission indoors, its transmit performance doesn't yet match larger antennas, with further outdoor field tests planned. DL7JV also intends to build a 1.8 MHz version.

Around 17% of the U.S. population experiences some degree of Dyslexia, a condition affecting language processing that can hinder amateur radio license candidates, often leading to repeated exam failures despite diligent study. This resource outlines methods for Volunteer Examiners (VEs) and Elmers to identify and assist candidates with cognitive disorders like Dyslexia and **ADHD**, which affects approximately 4% of U.S. adults. It emphasizes recognizing patterns in missed answers, such as spatial placement errors on answer sheets, and suggests reading questions aloud as an accommodation. The author, NC4FB, shares a structured approach developed over three years, involving extensive candidate interviews and a self-study program. This program utilizes specialized software with keyword highlighting and a unique font to improve comprehension for Dyslexic/ADHD candidates. It also incorporates **MP3 audio files** for subelement questions and correct answers, providing an alternative study method for those who benefit from auditory learning. Key elements of the support strategy include repetition, positive reinforcement, and timely progress updates, often visualized with a color-coded table tracking scores of 85 or higher. The goal is for candidates to pass three consecutive sample exams with at least 85% before attempting the actual license exam, demonstrating mastery of the material.
