Ham Radio Buffs Talk Prepare for Exposition
By TONDA RUSH
Southwestern Bell may be the only phone company in town, but it doesn't have a monopoly on communications.
Twenty-five operators on the University of Kansas campus give the public an extra communications arm.
The KU Amateur Radio Club will demonstrate in 217 Learned Hall how a ham set works during the exhibition Friday through Sunday.
Frank Parks, Lawrence junior and chairman of the project, said she was particularly interested in emergency a ham operator often offers the only communication she needs.
"in the Los Angeles earthquake," Parks said, "for the first two hours ham operators were the only source of communication. Phones were out and police frequencies were overloaded
Parks has been a ham operator for two years. He worked his way by independent study through the University of Iowa, and now an advanced ham operator.
"We try to avoid a lot of health and welfare messages, as we call them in the emergency care. There are usually a lot of problems in the emergency area."
"OUR CLUB handled about 30 calls for people wanting to know if their families were safe.
As he talked, he demonstrated how the set worked. He sat in front of the combined transistor amplifier to his left and the microphonemary a button, left or right, buttons, twisted switches and turned dials, picking up conversations that they floated on the screen.
The set cracked and a man's voice came through. "The weather here in Philadelphia is I'm sorry I even got out of bed."
Parks moved the set to a higher frequency and a woman in Arkansas announced that her gardenies were out early.
As he was trying to make contact with another operator, Parks outlined the future of amateur radio.
"Amateur operators built the first and second non-government communications satellites.
Parks said the satellites will provide research data for home
"NASA launches them. I think there will be another launched late this year."
provide research data for hams.
"SOME HAMS in the east are bared a response to the carrying of the last Apollo missions. It will be a back-up system for the astronauts in case communication systems go dead.
The repeater will be left on the moon, Parks said. A ham will be able to transmit a message to the repeater. The ham will transmit the message and send it back to earth. The ham will actually receive his own words.
THE SET in the shack interrupted Parks' explanation. The noise was a conversation between a ham in Las Vegas and a police officer who were just signing off as Parks stood in their frequency. H

The ministry said the Flat G9 plane was damaged in a midair collision with another plane while it landed at an airfield near Munich.
"This is WA zero ZTW, portable zero in Lawrence calling WMTM in Las Vegas." Parks called into the microphone.
"What was that station in Lawrence?" the answer came back.
Parks said his call letters again and the contact was established. Mr. Barr also told whose name was Bill, discussed their transmissions and received copies of the documents.
AFTER CONFIRMING that both sets were functioning well. Parks asked Bill to describe his shack.
"I hate to describe the shack right now with all the stuff I have lying around," Bill replied.
"Amatur radio is strictly a hobby with me. I guess I like to see what makes stuff tick," he said.
Parks and Bill discussed technical aspects of their individual sets and then both signed off.
Parks logged the call in the notebook and adjusted the ham set.
"BY THE TIME of the exposition, we'll have a new antenna on the roof and we'll be able to hear a lot more." be said.
Three or four members of the Amateur Radio Club will be on duty and there will be an exposition. They will demonstrate the workings of the set and use it to educate the public.
As long as a licensed ham turns the set on and off and makes the calls, anyone is allowed to talk over the air, Parks said.
