The Writer's Almanac - JUNE 6 - 12, 2005
ARRL June QSO party 2005
Because of the humidity, 24 and 47 GHz were mostly non-players, which stunk. I need a bigger dish for 24 I guess.
I did manage to work WA2IID in a couple of grids and that helped a lot! :-) He has a very nice rover setup ARRL Soapbox and it was nice to see him and Tom KB2SSS again.
On the positive side of the ledger, my 2304 MHz and 3456 MHz transverters worked fine, as did the dish that Dennis N2LBT loaned me. I didn't get a chance to break out the 902 MHz transverter. Next step is to add some power to those guys. I have amps from Pyro Joe for 2.3 and 3.4; John K2JJB gave me 55 watts for 902. I just need to get them integrated.... yeah, just.

CPYFRMIMPF at V5R3
IBM made some changes in their V5R3 implementation of CPYFRMIMPF. It turns out that they are really starting to obey the CCSID set for the file, so if your system value is set to 65535 (binary/no translation) then you'll really get no translation. Read the below APAR for an explanation, and the PTF that's available to restore the V5R2 behaviour.

Panzerblitz and Panzer Leader variant counters.
Found this nice web site for new PB/PL counters. Panzerblitz and Leader are Avalon Hill games from the 70s.

January VHF contest
Just sent in my score for the January VHF contest. Pitiful. It's easily the worst I've done in a long time, but the blizzard and lack of participants didn't help at all. Here's a summary
I use RoverLog by Tom N1MU to log my contests

Outsourcing angst
On the one hand, it's reasonably clear that US programmers are losing jobs to India. Not good for US programmers. But I don't recall the same level of stink when US consultants were taking their jobs in the 90s.
