RADIO SUGGESTIONS - SCANNERS - GMRS – HAM Scanners: Find out what’s going on. Radio receiver scans channels important to you - CalFire, OES, MROSD rangers, police. Listen only - no transmit capability. (HAM Radios can also be used as scanners) Common brands are Radio Shack, Uniden, BearCat. Costs $125 - 175. base station handheld GMRS Radios: General Mobile Radio Service. Two way radios (transceiver). Push to talk - range ok for most of our neighborhoods. Registration required – about $50 - not enforced. No test required. Common brands are Uniden, Midland, Motorola. Costs per pair $75 - $100. Be careful not to buy FRS radios which are cheap toys. FRS is Family Radio Service. Although it is also a HAM Radio, a very effective GMRS Radio, with significant range over our hills, is the Baofeng brand – cost around $35. More important than the type of radio is the antenna. Only buy a brand that has an interchangeable antenna – like the Baofeng. The little antenna that is supplied with most GMRS radios is not effective in our terrain. Buy a long, whip-like, antenna to replace the supplied antenna. HAM Radios: Two way (transceivers). License test required. License rules vigorously enforced. Can use local mountain top repeaters for large range. Technician license classes are locally available. HAM Radio is the serious two way radio. Hams aka amateur radio operators. Common brands are Yaesu, Icom, Kenwood, Baofeng. Popular locally are the Yaesu FT-60R hand held and the Yaesu FT-8800R or FT-8900 base stations. Detachable antennas. The base stations can be used in a vehicle or fixed at home. Base station advantage over battery operated hand helds is they have ten times the output power. Hand held $35 (Baofeng) to $200 (better quality Yaesu) or $450 for base station w/power supply. ham base station or calling Minsk! ham “HT” or hand mobile radio held battery radio .

Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

Antenna System for a Ground Station Communicating with the NTNU Test Satellite (NUTS)
Antenna system for a ground station communicating with the NTNU Test Satellite (NUTS) Beathe Hagen Stenhaug Master of Science in Electronics Submission date: July 2011 Supervisor: Odd Gutteberg, IET Norwegian University of Science and Technology Department of Electronics and Telecommunications Problem Description NTNU is planning to develop and launch a student satellite named NUTS. This satellite will need a ground station for transmitting commands and receiv- ing telemetry. The ground station will be located at NTNU premises, utilizing the existing antenna pedestal. The task is to analyze, design, build and test a scale model antenna system for this ground station. The work should focus on an array antenna consisting of either 2 or 4 helical elements. The preliminary specications are Center frequency: 437 MHz. Bandwidth: The bandwidth should as a minimum, cover the actual am- ateur frequency band [435-439 MHz], as well as the anticipated Doppler shift. Antenna gain: Approximately 12 - 20 dB. The actual gain will be based on the revised link budget. Interface: Compatible with the receiver/transmitter to be used. Steerability: 0 - 360 degrees in azimuth and 0 - 180 degrees in elevation. Environmental specication: Operational wind velocity: 15 m/s. In addition to designing and building the antenna system, a feasibility study of the various available tracking systems should be carried out. Assignment given: February 2011 Supervisor: Odd Gutteberg, IET Preface This document is my master thesis carried out in the spring of 2011 at the De- partment of Electronics and Telecommunication (IET) at the Norwegian Uni- versity of Science and Technology (NTNU). NTNU is the third university to join the ANSAT (Norwegian Student Satellite Program), and the goal with ANSAT is to have three student satellites launched before the end of 2014.

2016 Real Estate in Japan Creating New Value for the Economy and Society 2016 CodeCode ofof ConductConduct TheThe RealReal EstateEstate CompaniesCompanies AssociationAssociation ofof JapanJapan -Creating New Value for the Economy and Society- Japan’s declining population, falling birthrate and aging society are all having major impacts on our economy and society. New issues such as increasing internationalization and global environmental problems also need to be addressed. In this context, Japan’s real estate industry has a social responsibility to create new value to contribute to the economy and society. It is expected to supply high-quality buildings and housing, and help make people’s daily lives-whether at home, work, or play-more comfortable and affluent. As a cornerstone of domestic demand, the industry should also help drive national economic growth. Based on this mission, members of the Real Estate Companies Association of Japan pursue their activities in accordance with the principles below. 1. Creating Attractive Cities Members will help create safe, stable, comfortable and appealing cities; renew urban areas through forming quality housing stock and advanced business infrastructure; create dynamic environments rich in amenities; and work to maintain and enhance their value from both a hard and soft perspective so that they may be passed down to the future generations as high-quality assets. 2. Customer-Focused Activities and Management The provision of “Customer First” management is best served by supporting the lifestyle pursuits of customers in meeting their ever diversifying and increasingly unique needs with an enhanced selection of products and services, and also in providing accurate information while maintaining high ethical standards and acquiring greater expertise.
