| For those familiar with www.batc.tv, the W1AW channel is listed as a repeater stream accessible fro the ATV repeaters link off the front page. For those unfamiliar with it and wishing to view it, they will see links to ATV repeaters on the home page, select the link, and then find two listings of repeaters called live (streaming) and non-streaming channels. W1AW will be listed once under one of those categories and you only need to click on it and submit to watch the channel. ATV repeater streams are not to be confused with another link for member streams, which is for individual BATC ham members to stream their on television content. Member streams are selected similarly to the ATV repeater streams. 73 Raleigh AC5JW |

| A few hams have discovered a new digital television channel from W1AW at BATC.TV and made welcoming comments to W1AW. What are the plans for W1AW to utilize this channel? Any details on its operation or schedule to be shared ? Once W1AW's operation over BATC.TV is more developed, it might make a good article for QST to announce it and get more hams to visit it. 73, Raleigh, AC5JW |

| Removing Corrosion from copper wire | N4PO | on 24/8/11 |
| Hello Arlen, For solid and stranded copper wire, I have had some success with using steel wool, ranging from the fluffy and soft to the abrasive and coarse. Watch your fingers and hands with the more abrasive kinds. But, I have never soldered the wire after cleaning it, so I don't know if it will be clean enough for soldering and your own requirements. All I know is the wire becomes hot when you wrap the steel wool around it and either pull or push-pull the steel wool up and down the line, making it very shiny. You can probably clean the amount you need easier if you clean it before removing it from the spool, which will help to anchor the wire as you clean it. Consider eye protection as you will want to blow off the excess from the cleaned wire and you may have a slight mess of steel wool to clean up. 73, Raleigh AC5JW |

| Hi Orlando, Have you checked out the product review of the Kenwood TH D72-A in the July 2011 QST ? It is on page 46. It may give you more insight and maybe the solution to your scanning issue. That product review is authored by Howard Robins, W1HSR |
