END-OF-LOG:
* All call signs can be looked up on qrz.com. I think I did OK for a rookie in SSB contesting. I probably won’t be winning any awards for this effort, it was a casual effort going in, decided to file it anyway with the ARRL. I would like to thank HEIL SOUND for making the HM-10 Dual Microphone and TL-2T Boom with both the HC-4 “DX Dream Machine” element and the HC-5 full-range element, and Kenwood for making the TS-480SAT 160m - 6m HF Transceiver (100 watts out of the box.) Also the antenna by Hustler - 6BTV - 6 band vertical. Ground mounted, some sodium bentonite (improves grounding), and some ground radials.

ARRL SSB HF Radio Contest
A March Amateur Radio Relay League (ARRL) Single Sideband (SSB) Contest, described on this page: http://www.radio-sport.net/arrlssb10_pre.htm is really heating up the airwaves. Even giving the commercial shortwave radio stations a run for their money. Contacts to all over are occurring. 40 meters (7 Mhz band) has been hopping all day and night. As night fell on the east coast of the US 75/80 meters was buzzing as well with contest stations. You really get to see how congested the ham bands can get, when such a contest is going on.
The ARRL DX SSB Contest runs 48 hours from 0000z March 6 to 2400z March 7.

Alan Spicer, KA4UDX, has been participating a bit in this contesting. I’ve worked Spain, St. Maarten, Turks and Caicos Island, Hawaii, and more since yesterday. It’s a good time to make some DX contacts. It’s also very good for your geography knowledge of the world. I recorded a video … hopefully it’s not too long for Youtube. It takes a long time to upload a 10 minute video which is 100’s of megabytes. Note the March totals below, most of that was in the SSB contesting contacts.

Livewire Access Controller FB-10, and general talk about Marine Internet Systems (Video Part-1)
6. March 2010 by admin.
Here is part one of the video I just made on the Livewire Access Controller FB-10 line of products. I will post the other part as soon as I have uploaded it to Youtube. And as always you can click on the video to go through to my Youtube profile and see all of my other videos on there. This video as of this time is still being processed on youtube.com, so the audio seems to be out of sync … hopefully that will correct when the processing is done on there. The audio was in sync just fine when I recorded it.
This is Part 1 (part 2 will be coming soon…)

I am hoping you will help me with my Service Dilemma. I own a Ericsson W25 …
25. February 2010 by admin.
* The following was an email conversation, it might be helpful for other Ericsson W25 or W35 owners or prospective owners. The order is kind of backwards if you read it from top down, because it is “Top Posted” replies via Email:
Yah well they will probably ask you. They want an IMEI number off of “something”.
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4ADBF_enUS255US256&q=GSM%2bIMEI
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Mobile_Equipment_Identity#Retrieving_IMEI_information_from_a_GSM_device
By the way that works on my Motorolla hand phones, that IMEI number can be retrieved by entering *#06# …
* It’s funny that once you get past the SALES politics … like you said! … Any Sim Card works in any GSM device. Well I would use the newer 3G labeled Sims just to be safe … But I’ve moved them all around. I used to keep a Sim card just for testing Ericsson gear. I still have a Data Card (USB Connect Mercury) mainly to use the Sim Card to test Ericsson W25 and W35 boxes.
> Will I need to reconfigure the W25?
* You could tell what firmware version you have, on the System page. You might be could use a firmware update. On newer firmwares there’s an “Auto APN” on the Internet Page which does the APN / Username / Password thing automatically for you. If not it’s the following for AT&T:
APN: isp.cingular
Username: isp@cingulargprs.com
Password: CINGULAR1 (that is a ONE at the end, not an ELL)
(Yes this is legacy carry over from before AT&T *got* Cingular. At&T *GOTS* everything. Just like Microsoft *GOTS* everything 
;-) )
P.S. I worked one night in a Cellular “Switch” facility for a large cellular company. I was changing cards out or adding cards (I don’t remember exactly) in a large Cisco Router for them, contracted in. It was quite something to see the NETWORK / CELLULAR SWITCH / ROUTER room of a large cellular carrier, as well as the guys and girls that program the switches, watch over them, and respond to “issues” and such on them.
So good luck with this. Remember to tell at least 5 friends / family / associates - about Alan Spicer Telecom / Alan Spicer Marine Telecom. After all I’m not getting paid by Ericsson, AT&T, or anybody for helping you 
:-)

Hi Alan,
Thanks for the info! If I Purchased the plan with 3G and voice capabilities, will AT&T need to know what device I’m using. Seems like I can test this out with my girlfriends SIM card. Will I need to reconfigure the W25?

Subject: Re: Question about Ericsson W25
You are correct … you would only need a Sim card with both voice and data service. Data meaning Internet, and Internet meaning 3G Internet. Meaning UMTS / HSPA with both HSUPA and HSDPA. Ericsson W25 only supports HSDPA in the HSPA chain of technologies. Newer Ericsson W35 supports both HSUPA and HSDPA.
It’s often difficult for cellular company representatives to think outside of THEIR BOX. Their box meaning the stuff that they sell. They think that they don’t support anything other than what they sell. That is simply not true … the ability to move a device from one company to another, and even one country to another, is one of the beauties of GSM and UMTS Cellular Service (keeping in mind you have to have Quad Band, which E W25 does have, to be true world traveler.)
The Ericsson equipment has passed all of the import and FCC and Consumer certifications to be used on cellular networks. AT&T (formerly Cingular) has accepted Ericsson W25 as a usable device on their network. No doubt they have done the same for the newer Ericsson W35.
Tell them if it were not possible to connect a valid device with both voice and data/Internet, then pray tell they us - how the heck does an Apple iPhone 3G work on their network?
I’ve had my share of visits to AT&T stores to have them tell me they can’t put voice and Internet on one sim card. Actually when you get an Air Card from them. it has a sim card put into it. That sim card can also make voice calls. Every AT&T device’s sim card can make voice calls. All they have to do is figure out how to CONVINCE THEMSELVES and THEIR COMPUTER that this can be done, in other words all they have to do is CONVINCE THEIR COMPUTER to put a Voice plan on the same sim card as a Data Plan is on. Once they can do that … everything else will just automagically work. It’s more politics and salesmanship than it has anything at all to do with their technical abilities in the AT&T network.
* Also watch out because you may have had Unlimited Internet with the previous company. On the laptop card type of service on AT&T it’s NOT unlimited. It’s 5GB per month. And it’s very easy when using it like a home internet service to reach that limit. It’s funny they let iPhone’s have Unlimited for $30 per month, but Laptops are $60 a month an not getting unlimited. It’s discrimination.
Welcome to the world. :- ) … :- )

Subject: Question about Ericsson W25
Hello,
I am hoping you will help me with my Service Dilemma. I own a Ericsson W25 and have service through Centennial Wireless. Centennial has just been purchased by AT&T. I have called and talked to AT&T and explained to them that I have a Ericsson W25 that I use for a home phone and internet. They do not know how to help me. Claim I need to purchase an air card and land line service. When I believe I just need them to activate a SIM card for me. Which service do I need to purchase to keep my internet and phone going? Any information you can give will be appreciated. I live in Michigan where satellite or wireless are my only option for a descent internet connection.
Thank you, Leah <last name removed>

——————————————————————————–
* Additional information about IMEA, Sim Cards, pertaining to Satellite Communications, from Alan Spicer, from Wikipedia:
Usage on satellite phone networks
The BGAN, Iridium and Thuraya satellite phone networks all use IMEI numbers on their transceiver units as well as SIM cards in much the same way as GSM phones do. The Iridium 9601 modem relies solely on its IMEI number for identification and uses no SIM card; however, Iridium is a proprietary network and the device is incompatible with regular GSM networks.
Retrieving IMEI information from a GSM device
On many devices, the IMEI number can be retrieved by entering *#06#, or using the AT command ATD*#06#. The IMEI number of a GSM device can be retrieved by sending the command AT+CGSN. For more information, refer to the 3GPP TS 27.007, Section 5.4 /2/ standards document.
Retrieving IMEI Information from an older Sony or Sony Ericsson handset can be done by entering these keys: * Right * Left Left * Left *
IMEI information on BlackBerry devices can also be found by going to options, then status.

You probably want to ask: How the Ericsson W35 works? Or what can I use it for?
23. February 2010 by admin.
How The Ericsson W35 Works!
Click the thumbnail picture for a LARGER view
The Ericsson W35 is a Mobile Broadband Router for the GSM to 3G (UMTS, HSPA, WCDMA) Services provided by US and Worldwide Cellular Carriers. Well that’s a lot of techno terms - so what can it do for me?
The Ericsson W35, formerly called a Fixed Cellular Terminal, is a Router for Cellular Voice and Internet Services … much like what you get with laptop data cards that are commonly sold with an Internet Plan for Cellular Telephone Companies. The advantage of the W35, and the primary reason it’s popular on Marine Vessels (Sail and Motor Yachts), is that it is an Internet Sharing Device. That means that - rather than having 3G Cellular Internet on one laptop computer, you can share it to multiple computers either via common wired (plug in) network connectors or via WiFi wireless network methods. It’s also a Cellular Voice Sharing Device. That’s possible because it has a Analog Telephone Adaptor (ATA) functionality built-in to it. That allows normal analog telephone sets, or even a PBX system in an office (or on a boat) to share the “Cellular Line” voice service with multiple Extension Telephone Sets in an office or yacht premises.
The Ericsson W35, as you will see from the picture above, also allows the sharing of USB devices on the computer network that is created by the unit. This means that you can attach Hard Disk Drive Storage devices or Printers to have them shared to computers on the premises.
The Ericsson W35 must have a cellular plan with a compatible cellular carrier. The unit is backward compatible through GSM, GPRS (Internet), EDGE (Internet) - as well as the more modern UMTS, HSPA, HSDPA, HSUPA technologies. All you need is a Sim Card with Service Activated from your home cellular carrier company. You can also use Sim Cards with many compatible cellular networks worldwide if you travel, which our yacht - marine customers definately do.
You will want to be sure to get an additional “Data Roaming” package from your carrier to make sure that you don’t run into expensive roaming on Data/Internet when you travel outside your home country, either that or disable the Data / Internet part of the Ericsson W35 unit.
The Ericsson W35 is a very small unit, self-contained, and acts as a Fast Internet Router and Cellular Voice Telephone Router. It creates its own WiFi Wireless Network as well as its own Wired (Fast Ethernet - CAT5) Network. It is quite expandable for plugging into an existing Local Area Network (LAN) network … or for extending it out to a new network with additional wired connections and Wireless WiFi Access Points.
So, you’ll see that it’s a quite versatile piece of equipment - quite capable of keeping you connected - wherever you go - or wherever you are as the Ericsson video says. On marine vessels it’s very good for places where there’s no Public WiFi Hotspot to link up to. It basically turns your premises (or boat) into its own WiFi Hotspot. With Cellular Internet (and voice) as the provider.
