Amateur radio interests
Amateur radio, in particular, amateur television (ATV) is a hobby of
mine. I belong to an ATV newsgroup (which you can subscribe to
by mailing atv-request@darkstar.irony.com), read "ATV quarterly",
and am interested in communicating with other ATV operators.
I am also interested in ATV repeaters. I know some people who are
interested in ATV model aircraft, though I've never flown myself
(perhaps someday soon!). I have a little toy car, though.
(Thought I
had the first ATV car, but it turns out that a lot of other ATV
hams have videocars, and there is a nice article on videocars
that I might scan in and put on the Web if enough people are interested.)
I am always eager to meet new ATV enthusiasts from the
Boston/Cambridge area; if you're into ATV,
email me: mann@eecg.toronto.edu, and let me know what frequencies
are of interest to you.
If you are not on the 'net (in other words, if you are not
reading this Web page, or maybe you're just borrowing
a friend's account), you can reach me on 446.000, the national
simplex frequency, which I usually monitor. Sometimes I also
monitor the MIT repeater on the roof of bld. 54,
and the BARC repeater on the roof of the Federal Reserve building
in Boston, but I find simplex a lot more fun. I also like making
full-duplex QSOs across voice frequency (VHF and UHF) bands,
as well as making full-duplex ATV contacts.
