  • Teaching with Technology: a Proposal for Using Amateur Radio in the Classroom
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 378 943 IR 016 946 AUTHOR Newell, Peter R. TITLE Teaching with Technology: A Proposal for Using Amateur Radio in the Classroom. PUB DATE Dec 94 NOTE 29p.; Adapted from a paper submitted in partial fulfillment of class requirements for VTE 500, Contemporary Concepts in Vocational-Technical Education, Spring 1994, and published in the 1994 American Radio Relay League National Educational Workshop proceedings.

PUB TYPE Viewpoints (Opinion/Position Papers, Essays, etc.) (120) Reports Evaluative/Feasibility (142) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Communication (Thought Transfer); Educational Innovation; *Educational Radio; Educational' Technology; Elementary Secondary Education; Interdisciplinary Approach; Language Arts; Self Esteem; *Student Motivation; ''Teaching Methods; *Vocational Education IDENTIFIERS *Ham Radio ABSTRACT Amateur radio is a technology and activity that offers great potential when integrated into academic or vocational curricula. Programs with electrical, electronics, and electromechanical content can benefit from the use of amateur radio, and can also enhance language and communications skills. The biggest value of amateur radio may lie in its ability to enhance a student's motivation and self-esteem. In addition to its specific vocational and technical applications, amateur radio can assist in teaching basic skills and in reducing the isolation of students and teachers as it promotes interdisciplinary education and cultural awareness. Amateur radio is distinctly different from citizens band, as it is a noncommercial service. Ham operators do not need an electronics background, although technical knowledge and skills are helpful. Several examples of the educational use of amateur radio illustrate its potential for academic and vocational education.

  • A Simultaneous Radiotelephone and Visual Range Beacon for the Airways
    RP341 A SIMULTANEOUS RADIOTELEPHONE AND VISUAL RANGE BEACON FOR THE AIRWAYS By F. G. Kear and G. H. Wintermute ABSTRACT Increased use of the airway radio services by transport operators has resulted in a demand for continuous range-beacon service. At the same time the weather broadcast information has increased in importance and the interruptions to the beacon service have become more frequent. To eliminate difficulties arising from this conflict a transmitting system has been developed which provides simul- taneous transmission of visual range-beacon and radiotelephone signals. This system is designed to employ existing equipment so far as possible. By combining two transmitting sets into one the cost of buildings and antenna equipment is reduced. Continuous check on the operation of both systems can be obtained with less personnel than required at present. The transmitting set consists of a 2-kw. radiotelephone transmitter operating into a nondirective antenna system and an additional set of amplifier branches supplying power through a goniometer into two loop antennas. The two antenna systems are symmetrically disposed with respect to each other, and coupling effects are balanced out to prevent distortion of the space pattern. The phase of the currents in the different antenna systems is controlled by a phase shift unit and means for checking the adjustment of this phase relationship continuously is provided. The equipment on the airplane to receive this service is changed only by the addition of a small filter unit which keeps the low-frequency reed voltages from reaching the head telephones and the voice frequencies from the reed indicator.
