Hi All
I am 26AT016 Paul and have been with the Alfa Tango family for 29 Years Now.
I have just started a website for the ever growing number of 26 Division Alfa Tango members who now renew to Italy instead of England. This site has no closed to visitor sections and all info is available without registering.
This website carries loads of history of the Alfa Tango 26 Division including Photos, DX events, Memorabillia and lots of up to date info including the recently added page devoted to the monitoring of Cycle 24.
However what i am trying to do is contact old Alfa Tango 26 division members who have any old photos or information for the site. We have a couple of years that have no info at all and you may be able to help.
Please visit the site and if you have no info at least sign the guestbook to show your support.
The site is at http://www.26alfatango.co.uk
Thanks for reading
Paul 26AT016

"Characters in the recent BBC remake of Survivors seem curiously ill-informed about how the UK's communications infrastructure would deal with the collapse of civilisation, so in an attempt to ensure Reg readers are better-equipped we present a wireless guide to the apocalypse."

A nice read, Just makes you think.

News: Scotch Tape (TM) the worlds most powerful tape ? |

In the 1950's the Russians knew that an ordinary roll of Scotch (TM) tape could be used to create X-rays?
Now Researchers at UCLA are looking at the the power that comes from peeling tape from a roll in a vacuum. And they have discovered that a mere piece of tape can produce an enormous amount of power, which came as a big surprise to them.
In an article being published in the Journal Nature, researchers are suggesting that the finding could lead to the production of inexpensive and easy-to-use equipment that could be used by paramedics on accident scenes or for places where electricity is not available.

'Daventry Calling The World' now online
The book Daventry Calling The World is now available on the BBC Engineering website as a PDF download.
The description at http://www.bbceng.info/Books/dx-world/dx-world.htm says
"In 1998 Norman Tomalin published his book Daventry Calling The World and in 2008 he very kindly agreed that it may be published on this web site.
This book is a very good historical record and it is the result of a great deal of work by Norman. It complements Don Bowman's reminiscences about Daventry and it is well worth reading both."
Download the PDF from
http://www.bbceng.info/Books/dx-world/dx-calling-the-world-2008a.pdf
Thanks to Mike Barraclough for spotting this.

Britain's code-cracking and computing heritage has won a lifeline in the form of a donation from English Heritage.
BBC News report that the grant of £330,000 will be used to undertake urgent roof works at Bletchley Park - where Allied codebreakers worked in World War II.
Discussions are also in progress on a further three-year, £600,000 funding programme for the historic site.

With two weeks to go before launch, the astronauts of space shuttle Endeavour are keeping up a thorough training schedule for the 15-day mission.
The busy flight to the ISS includes four spacewalks and the transfer and set-up of more than seven tons of equipment and supplies inside the orbiting laboratory.
Endeavour?s main payload is a space-age moving van called Leonardo that is stuffed with new crew quarters and the other equipment needed to enlarge the station?s resident crew to six members. The equipment includes a filtering system designed to filter wastewater to make it potable.
Commander Chris Ferguson and his six crewmates, of whom four are licenced radio hams, are scheduled to lift off to the International Space Station at 7:55 p.m. EST on Nov. 14.
Ferguson will be joined on STS-126 by Pilot Eric Boe and Mission Specialists Donald Pettit, KD5MDT, Steve Bowen, Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper, KD5TVR, Shane Kimbrough, KE5HOD and Sandra Magnus, KE5FYE. Magnus will replace space station crew member Greg Chamitoff, KD5PKZ, who has been aboard the station for more than five months.
She will return to Earth during the next shuttle mission,
STS-119, targeted to launch in February 2009.

News: Appointment with Ofcom |

Appointment with Ofcom very soon to discuss issues regarding abuse on the amateur bands and repeaters. Ofcom need to address this, rather than ignore. Ofcom have a responsibility it is the independent regulator and competition authority for communication and have been undersigned by the Secretary of State to enforce the Wireless Telegraphy Act. If there are any issue that you would like us to raise, then please send your comments to us and we will submit these, on your behalf. We will let you know the outcome of the pending meeting in due course.
The Wireless Telegraphy Act!
Abuse of radio comes in several forms on amateur radio. However, most of it is designed either to deny access to the spectrum or to offend and annoy by causing deliberate interference, using offensive language, playing music, pirating call signs, keying out other users etc. On the amateur service, abuse is most commonly aimed at open access facilities such as voice repeater so as to cause a nuisance to the maximum number of people and attract attention. Less common, but just as serious, is the abuser who targets individual operators or specific radio services.
The Wireless Telegraphy (Content of Transmission) Regulations 1988 makes it an offence to send a message, communication or other matter that is grossly offensive or of an obscene or menacing character. In considering such cases, it is important to remember that the courts need evidence that the language used in the alleged offence is worse than that encountered in everyday life.
Look forward to your support with the Petition to Mr Gordon Brown at number 10 to get his Government to enforce the Wireless Telegraphy Act and stop abuse on the amateur bands, especially repeaters.
