VINCE FABB Examiner Staff Writer Undoubtedly the friendliest fraternity in the world is the sprawling network of ham radio operators with acI me the bar9 tive amateurs in every part of the globe This looselyknit organization is ready at all times to handle mes sages in time has done so on But it is psrhaps the warm free andeasy brand of conversation in the ham each other that server most of emergency and many occasions regular broadcasts to impresses an ob This close human touch Is apparent in all broadcasts be tween hams and Is the dlrect outcome of the creed of the amateur radio operator which could be stated simply as help each other and benefit mul klnd Barrio is not without its rcprc sentalion of those promoters Of goodwill There are seven acv five amateurs ill the town They include Bob Lawrence Howard Poole Ross Cowan Bill Gribble Gcnc Harrington Steve Ogden and Rev James Ferguson The best way to get an Idea of the ham at work Is to sit with him as he operates so the reporter arranged with Rev James Ferguson to sit in on Q80 or in cvsrydny language twoway contact via radio First there seeming Jargon of code Iangungx as the operator sends out general call for any one iIslcnIng to answer for the transmitter and adjusted to th frequency he wants As luck would have It perfect example offered itself The transmitter Was hardly switched off and the receiver on when strong clear voice ansWered again in code Jar gon giving allessential dc tails of location name of op erator station and so forth From then on tile conversation was as homey as chinwag over cracker barrel in country gen eral store First names are the rule in ham conference so It was Joe Pullan at the other end speaking from WSZAB of llouma Louisiana thousand miles Carribean Gulf At this end was John operat ingl CIBNM They had talked together be fore so had much to talk about Conversation ran from com ments on the weather to tech nical information on each others sets Joe revealed that previous QSO between he and John had resulted In an in the several away on the QSO This is after the operator has warmed up his set turned article Houma paper Information on Barrie and Can ada from John Outcome was that Joe is to send acopyoftlle Houma paper con taining the account for use by The Barrie Examiner No matter at what wider separatcd points the hams are situated conversations how the same friendly tone The fraternity of hams knows no barriers of race creed color sex or station and no Inter national boundaries 56 Ellen et OOD LU Malia Barrie PH012517 FarmfPhilonsIOpher says

On this side Rent Mr Ferguson points out he knows of one Hollywood eXeculive whol is ham The fact that Andy ofl Amos Andy team is ham has been publicized The rulers of Egypt and Siam are hams as are many medical and other profes sional people People from sill walks are included Every ban has his collec lion bf QSL cards acknole edgmcnfs exchanged between Innswa have contacted each other for the first time They contain information on loca tion of the station date and time the sing was received and data on strbngth and qual lty of the signal Rev Mr Ferguson has cards from stations in Germany Eng land Scotlund Wales Jamaica Greenland Bermuda Australia Nicaragua Panama Peru Ecua dor and many other places Besldes QSOs roundfable conversations are sometimes arranged They are generally by operator In certain area but Mr Ferguson recalls one roundtable he took part in with ham In England and one In VIII Peso Texas In this conversation each participant could hear words passed be tween the other two and spoke when his turn came No account of amateur radio operators could be complete with out mention of the contributions they have made to technical proJ grass of radio Many prominent radio manufacturers have amateur operators on their staff because they know the enthusiasm of hams keeps them constantly in the fore of technical advancement Rapld development of ama teur radio can be dated from about the time of World War Before then equipment was crude and distance obtained was small The oceans had not been crossed by the sets of the hams However by about 1912 hundreds of amateurs across the US and Canada in England and in other places began to attract notice The outcome was that some kind of regulation of wave lengths and specifications became necessary What to do with the hams The answer given by the au thorities to this question by themselves has become clas sic among hams It was in effect Ilank em on short waves Theyll never get out of their backyards with that But the persistent and engross ed hams soon developed methods of increasing their range with the little known short waves They boosted their range to 500 miles reached For the less is Their contact with ine outside world proves of lnestimable help An interesting code has been developed by amateurs For Instance QRM stands for in terference of another station QRTcIosln down the set QRZ stand by for moment These and many others are used un consciously by the ham as they converse on the air Other code symbols typify the good humor and freeandeasy style of the hams for example 88 means love and kisses 73 signing off with best regards XYL the exyoung lady wifcm YL the girl friend 0M the oldl man Ihubbyl Harold Elliot president of Montreal amateur group one of the largest In North Amer ica believes that the hams worth is not measured only by the expedition and emergency work he accomplishes each year The United Nations he says fully realizes the amount of goodwill amateurs foster with their daily exchanges of pleas= antrics with other operators throughout the world There are Instances of people locating lost relatives through in which 22yeargold man of Montreal proposed to WInnI pcg girl via ham radio The girl accepted and ended her message with 88 88 88 88 Rev Mr Ferguson recalls 13 lime when from Barrie he sent message to place in Texas inI quiring about the health and whereabouts of relative of an Orillia family The family had not heard from their relative and wished to know if he was all right and if they could expect him for Christmas Within five minutes ham contacted in the Texas town had telephoned the mans home and forwarded informa tion to Mr Ferguson to the effect Ithat the man was in good health had left for Cali fornia Iiuf expected to be In Orlllia before Christmas Services like this are constantly performed bythc hams but ofL course regulations forbid that anyI commercial messages be sent by hams However in emergencies their operation is virtually unrel stricted Hams are governed by strict regulations set down by the radio division of the depart ment of transport Theymust pass rigid examinaons de pending on the stage of de velopment their sets have first six months they can operate only by key in international Morse Code Then if they comply with certain conditions they are allowed limited phone voice use and finally if they pass advanced theory tests they are allowed unrestricted use of phone and sometimes achieved 1000 miles However World War came along and one of the restric tions was that hams were tem orarily banned from the air This ended in 1919 and the hams came back this time with equipment improved be cause of wartime research on vacuum tubes They still sought to span the Atlantic In 1921 experiments conducted rronr EurOpe by the American Radio Relay League an organiza tion of North American amateurs proved Americas stations could be received in Europe Further tests in the following year resulted in 315 calls being logged by Eur opean stations Switching of hams to wave lengths below the standard ZOOmetre band resulted in the hams discovering that aswave lengths decreased results im proved Today hamsare credited with opening up of all the short wave frequencies now in use The help of hams in time of emergency is well known Floods earthquakes forest res and other catastrophies have been incidents in which hams have come to the fore with assistance in commpnica lions often at the expense of long hours of fatiguing work tothemselves AII hams will vacate frequencyln response to the emergencysignal Ainateur radio Voperators often cooperate with expeditions with the result that today theidanger of parties gettinglosr in wilder Most hams build their own sets and they must know them from lihe ground up Before they get their licenses they must be able to make complete and detailed schematic drawing of every part of their sets In the United States alone there are about 75000 hams About 4000 operate in Canada and there are many thousands operating in England and all other parts of the world Some amateurs dont like the nickname ham They feel it gives false impression of the activity and equipment of ama teurs They point out that ama teurs must pass strict tests to con form to government regulations and that the sets of many hams cases of better quality than some commercial statibns The ama teurs own enthusiasm and in tense interest ensure high grade operatibn and equipment But whether the amateurs minimized Hams Oftenlway as to lessen the pleasure of accompany groups to the Arctic oilicis land patient quested friendly advice and Quin pupil ham radio and even one case is lare more powerful and in some like it or not It seems the public will go on calling them Ilnmsaffectionately if any thing They are known for their con tribution to the technical sideof radio but perhaps their greatest contribution tothe world is their tolerant brotherly spirit Following is the Amateurs Code as set down in The Northern News publication of the Northern Electric Com pany from which much of the information Italeels gleaned The amateur is tgentiemanly He
