POWER LINE PHASE AND FREQUENCY
               Robert Hall, who is a power company engineer, and
several others  wrote to confirm what I suspected-. The phase and
frequency of power  companies are not the same throughout the
U.S. It seems there are  districts which are together much of the
time, but it appears this  would be of little use for CCW. Woody 
EDITOR SPEAKS                Woody gave a talk at the November
meeting of the University of  California Ham Club. The response
indicated considerable interest  was generated.  MICRO COMPUTER
FOR CCW                Bob, WA7IPX, writes that he is working on
an interface from the  Petit CCW filter to an INTEL 8080
microcomputer. He has most of the  software written to receive
CW.  CCW AND MODEM TECHNOLOGY                W2SJU mentions he
saw considerable similarity between CCW  techniques and
techniques used on data processing modems. George,  if you have
any choice circuits or references to share, please  send them
along. You are right. Woody  WWVB AS A REFERENCE               
W3QVC mentions he has been using WWVB to set frequency 
standards. My guess is that such an approach would be a useful 
one for CCW. Don, why not write us a paragraph or two about  your
experiences. Woody  IRC SALE                We have an oversupply
of IRb's. We find the local post  office charges .26 each but
gives back only .16 each. Would  someone like to buy some? Send a
check for what you consider a  fare rate and the number you want.
I will return your check if  our supply is exhausted. Woody  CCW
FOR JA'S                The January issue of Ham Radio Journal
(in Japanese) had a 7  page article on CCW by JAlBLV with the
help of W6NEY/JRlZZR. For  those of you who read Japanese, it is
the most up to date  information available. I've urge you to buy
the journal as it is a  very good one, but if you just can not
get it, we have a few copies  of the article which we can send
for the cost of copying and mailing  ($.50).
