Other Modes Many other data modes are available for experimentation, including Pactor and Clover that enhance packet operation, and MFSK, Olivia, Throb, DominoEX, MT63, and Thor which are other modes mainly for PC/soundcard operation.It is still a popular communications mode, but now uses PCs for coding and decoding, using 170 Hz frequency shift keying at a 45.45 baud rate - 60 words per minute. RTTY (radio teletype) is the original keyboard to keyboard mode, based on the 5-bit Baudot code, began with mechanical Teletypes as mentioned above.PSK31 occupies very small bandwidths (approximately 100 Hz) and offers effective communication at low power. PSK31 (or BPSK31, Binary Phase Shift Keying 31.25 Hz) Probably the most popular keyboard to keyboard digital mode today, PSK31 is normally generated and decoded using PC soundcards with one of many available software packages.Transmission speeds typically range from 300 bps on the HF bands to 12 bps on VHF or UHF. The basic protocol for packet radio is AX.25. This allows improved throughput and error control. Packet - One of the first "modern" digital modes, packet radio transmits data in groups or "packets" of 10s or 100s of bytes.Gary ZL2iFB has written an FT8 Operating Guide. The WSJT-X software can be downloaded from Joe Taylor's web site. FT8 - In 2018 it is by far the most popular digital mode for award chasing and working DX.There are too many different modes to list individually, but here are some of the major ones: But amateur digital communication began in earnest in the late 1940's (if you don't count Morse as a digital mode!) when hams worked out techniques of connecting mechanical Teletype keyboard/printers to amateur gear using FSK and AFSK modulation. A great number of exciting new digital operating modes have developed, largely because of the availability of personal computers, soundcards, and advanced software. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s also helpful to renew the durable water repellent (DWR) coating on your tent’s waterproof fabrics. When that happens, you need to renew the coating to restore waterproof performance. Also, older tents can sometimes leak because the overall coating on waterproof fabrics (like the rainfly) is wearing out. ![]() To help prevent that, follow best practices when you pitch your tent. Note that condensation can sometimes build up and drip inside a fully seam-sealed tent. Dry completely: Allow the seam sealer to dry completely.Apply seam sealer: Apply new seam sealer, then use the included brush to spread it into a smooth, even coating.Allow a few minutes for the fabric to dry. Clean seams: Prep seams by gently cleaning them with a rag and rubbing alcohol.Remove loose seam tape: If you find loose seam tape, gently remove peeling sections.Identify your problem areas: Examine all the seams to identify where the sealer or seam tape has worn out. If you find many failing areas, consider applying new seam sealer to all seams.Set up your work area: Set your tent up in a dry, brightly lit spot. Seam sealing is done on the inside seams, so lay out your rainfly upside down.Seam sealer: Silicone-treated fabric needs a different sealer than polyurethane-coated fabric (what most tents have) ask the manufacturer if you’re unsure which type of coating you have.Seams are vulnerable areas, so inspect your tent seams periodically for damage or signs that water is sneaking in. (Leaving the candle wax in place will attract grit that leads to the zipper sticking once again.) Lube the zipper at home: When you get home, apply a zipper clean/lube product.Do a quick fix in the field: If you’re in camp, you can use an unscented candle to do a temporary fix: Rub the candle along the zipper teeth to help it operate more smoothly.Clean the zipper: Brush out any grit or debris from the zipper. ![]() If a zipper gets sticky, here’s what to do: Always check to be sure that the cause isn’t simply fabric that got snagged. Trying to force a zipper that jams is a great way to cause more serious damage to the tent. (The fix won’t look as clean, so think of it as a well-earned scar from one of your great adventures.) If you don’t have a mesh patch, you can also use a solid patch for the repair.

The host explained that the path to diagnosis began when he noticed his lymph nodes looked “big.” “I said this to you already, John, I said, ‘This is the best time so far in human history to get lymphoma,’ which is a very Hank Green thought, and then you gave me a very John Green thought and said, ‘Well, a year from now would’ve been better,'” Hank Green said. As many of his fans would expect, however, Hank Green maintained a positive attitude in his video. Hank Green’s announcement certainly qualified, and, in a video running over 12 minutes long, he talked about his diagnosis and how he expects it will impact his biggest projects, such as Vlogbrothers. ![]() Each episode usually stays under four minutes long, unless the subject matter warrants a longer discussion. In each episode, either Hank or John Green - though both do appear together on special occasions - shares stories, updates and their interests in videos addressed to each other. Hank Green is most known for his work as a science communicator and the network of online communities he’s helped to create, in some cases alongside his brother.

If a pulse is noted to be weaker during inhalation and stronger during exhalation ( pulsus paradoxus), this could indicate either greater reduction in the flow of blood to the left ventricle than is normal, as in constrictive pericarditis or pericardial effusion, or a grossly exaggerated inspiratory maneuver, as in tracheal obstruction, asthma, or emphysema.Īn instrument for registering the movements, form, and force of the arterial pulse is called a sphygmograph. On such a scale zero would mean that the pulse cannot be felt +1 would indicate a thready, weak pulse that is difficult to palpate, fades in and out, and is easily obliterated with slight pressure +2 would be a pulse that requires light palpation but once located would be stronger than a +1 +3 would be considered normal and a +4 pulse would be one that is strong, bounding, easily palpated, and perhaps hyperactive, and could indicate a pathological condition such as aortic regurgitation. A positive capillary refill test in a resected, amputated and devascularized specimen likely involves entrapped and pooled erythrocytes moving passively inside the patent capillaries with external pressure and release demonstrating findings similar to what is expected with the capillary refill test. ![]() To provide a more standardized description of pulse amplitude some agencies and hospitals use a scale that provides a more objective evaluation and reporting of the force of a pulse. The amplitude of a pulse can range from totally impalpable to bounding and full however, such terms are vague and subject to misinterpretation. Vascular surgery evaluated the patient, noting that brisk capillary refill and hand warmth signified adequate left upper extremity perfusion despite subclavian artery injury and thrombosis. The rhythm is checked for possible irregularities, which may be an indication of the general condition of the heart and the circulatory system. The average rate in an adult is between 60 and 100 beats per minute. In taking a pulse, the rate, rhythm, and strength or amplitude of the pulse are noted. ![]() The number of beats felt in exactly 1 minute is the pulse rate. Pressure should be light if the artery is pressed too hard, the pulse will disappear entirely. The examiner's thumb is never used to take a pulse because its own pulse is likely to be confused with that of the patient. The pulse is usually felt just inside the wrist below the thumb by placing two or three fingers lightly upon the radial artery. ![]() A pulse in the veins is too weak to be felt, although sometimes it is measured by sphygmograph (see below) the tracing obtained is called a phlebogram. It is analogous to the hammering sound heard in steam pipes as the steam is forced into the pipes under pressure. This shock wave is generated by the pounding of the blood as it is ejected from the heart under pressure. What is brisk capillary refill Circulation: Circulation is what we call the flow of blood through the body's blood vessels, which supply blood and oxygen to tissues and organs.The heart. What is felt is not the blood pulsing through the arteries (as is commonly supposed) but a shock wave that travels along the walls of the arteries as the heart contracts. Other sites for pulse measurement include the side of the neck (carotid artery), the antecubital fossa (brachial artery), the temple (temporal artery), the anterior side of the hip bone (femoral artery), the back of the knee (popliteal artery), and the instep (dorsalis pedis artery). the beat of the heart as felt through the walls of a peripheral artery, such as that felt in the radial artery at the wrist.

She purchased hiking equipment, got her dogs into shape and defined her goals. “Backpacking reminded me how much I loved and missed hiking and made me realize that I needed to take this opportunity to thru-hike and reconnect with myself and nature,” she says.įruchter did not waste any time preparing for her A.T. “I backpacked a portion of the Israel National Trail with a group and it really cemented my relationship, my love of backpacking through that trip.”įruchter’s first solo hike, a 70-mile trail in the Laurel Highlands in southwestern Pennsylvania, inspired her A.T. “I fell in love with backpacking when I was 13,” she says. She is currently starting a new position with the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh as coordinator of shinshinim, or Israeli community emissaries.Įver since a young age, Fruchter, the daughter Yossi Kelemer and Amian Frost Kelemer, says she loved backpacking and hiking. They moved to Pittsburgh, where Fruchter worked at the Hillel Jewish University Center from 2018 to 2020. In 2017, Fruchter got married in a ceremony overlooking the hills of Jerusalem. She then returned to the United States with her husband, Jeremy. Her time there wound up much longer as she served in the Israel Defense Forces and then earned her undergraduate degree at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Her mission was two-fold: to cross off a goal from her bucket list and to raise money for the Hurricane Island Outward Bound School in Camden, Maine.Īfter graduating from Baltimore’s now-defunct Yeshivat Rambam high school in 2011, Fruchter took a gap year in Israel. The A.T., as it’s known, stretches from Georgia to Maine and covers approximately 2,200 miles, all of which Fruchter trekked throughout the course of a six-month period. Risa Fruchter grew up in Pikesville and attended Yeshivat Rambam. ![]() ![]() ![]() The two C-Class coupes - the C230 Kompressor ($25,850) and the C320 ($28,250) - get all the changes made to the other C-Class models including a new dashboard with a four-gauge instrument cluster, new seats and chrome trim.For the 2003 model of the C230, Mercedes has largely addressed our engine complaint with an all-new 1.8-liter, all-aluminum supercharged four-cylinder. It costs $1,200 as part of an option package that includes heated front seats. Available on C-Class luxury sedans and wagons, the Mercedes’ 4Matic all-wheel-drive system is a full-time system that doesn’t require any driver action to activate. The interest in wagons seems to be growing, Herring said, but sales “still are not performing the way we all thought it would.” The C240 wagon ($34,150) is now the only wagon in the lineup because the C320 wagon has been dropped. Priced at $53,900, it went on sale last month. In fact, AMG enginee s had to lengthen the C-Class chassis by 80 millimeters to fit in the V-8 engine. Its styling, from the windshield forward, is borrowed from the CLK55 AMG model, Herring said. It’s a super sedan featuring a hand-built 5.5-liter V-8 that makes 362 horsepower. This year, they even produced different product brochures for Sport and luxury C-Class buyers.Īnd, as everyone from Saturn (Red Line) and Cadillac (V-Series) to Acura (A-Spec) have joined the game where BMW and Mercedes have long played with their M and AMG models, sportiness is “in.”Īnd, while the Sport models add a bit of performance feel to the C-Class lineup, nothing will compare to the C55 AMG. The Sport and luxury models are different enough that they “polarize” customers, and that’s just what Mercedes wants, Herring said. On the inside, the Sport models have special three-spoke steering wheels, aluminum pedals, aluminum trim and chrome gauge rings, bolstered sport seats and six-speed manual transmissions. They come with lowered and specially tuned suspensions, bigger drilled and ventilated brakes, 17-inch all oy wheels and high-performance tires. The 2005 C-Class Sport sedans - the C230 Sport ($29,250) and the C320 Sport ($37,350) - borrow exterior styling from the C32 AMG car that ends production this year. “This is the customer who wants a little bit stronger driving dynamics, sportier feel, more aggressive styling,” he said. “This is a customer we know well,” he said.īut, with the Sport models - which do get “Sport” badges - and the changes in them for the 2005 model year, the appeal has now shifted to what Herring describes as driving enthusiasts. Mercedes identifies them as “luxury” models, but doesn’t give them badges that say that. Those cars still exist, and they still attract about half of the C-Class buyers. But, according to Herring, it was the January 2003 introduction of C-Class Sport models that really turned heads.īefore that, C-Class cars were cheaper, smaller versions of the E- and S-Class models - cars known for their engineering, festooned in wood and leather and equipped with automatic transmissions. This generation of C-Class arrived in September 2000 as a 2001 model. “It’s been outstanding if you consider where we are in the life cycle,” Herring said. And the C-Class has been a primary factor of that sales success, as its sales have grown from about 15,000 units a year in the early ’90s to more than 60,000 units in 20. sales have grown tremendously in the past decade, from 61,899 in 1993 to 218,117 in 2003. The result? More competition and stable prices. Longtime favorites such as the BMW 3-Series, Audi A4 and Lexus ES 300 have been joined by newcomers such as the Infiniti G35, Acura TL and Chrysler 300C. “It’s a great time to buy a car in that segment,” Herring said. That’s why the cheapest 2005 C-Class sedan, the C230 Sport sedan, starts at $29,250.Īnd the C230 Kompressor coupe is the cheapest one of all, starting at $25,850. Oh, and how’s a $54,000 C-Class sedan with a 368-horsepower V-8 engine for something to talk about?īut while the C55 AMG that arrived last month is for a select few - Mercedes says it’ll sell about 1,200 of them during the second half of this year - the raison d’être of the C-Class is to attract first-time buyers to Mercedes-Benz. “We have to have something to talk about every year.” “The competitive landscape is tough,” Bart Herring, C-Class product manager for Mercedes-Benz USA, said recently in San Jose. That means the C-Class sedans, coupes and wagon get a new look and new features. In the duke-it-out near-luxe segment of the car business, Mercedes-Benz has reloaded for the 2005 model year. MERCEDES’ LINE GETS NEW LOOK AND FEATURES ![]() ![]() ![]() Buyers of this midrange model will have their choice between the Range Rover's standard inline-six or the more powerful supercharged V-8 engine. The Westminster Edition is based on the HSE trim level and won't be as limited in number. ![]() Only 1970 (naturally) examples will be produced, all based on the luxurious Autobiography trim level but featuring unique exterior design features and 50 thAnniversary badging. Land Rover is launching three special editions of the Range Rover this year, the first being the Fifty Edition that celebrates the 50th anniversary of the flagship SUV. What's the price for all this sumptuousness? Well, the Range Rover lineup starts just under the six-figure mark, and that's before you get into the plethora of optional features and customization choices. Lower-end models offer quiet comfort while the high-end SV Autobiography models are a performance pageant headlined by a burbling 557-hp supercharged V-8 engine. Fine leather, real wood trim, plush carpets, and a host of convenient features deck out every one of the Range Rover's many trims. As such, its accommodations have gone from spartan to opulent, and the 2021 model is the most luxurious Range Rover yet. Originally conceived as a tool for getting work done around the farm, the Range Rover has had quite the glow-up since its introduction in 1970, and it's now viewed as a luxury-lined limo for the stylish elite. ![]() |
