| Bits & Bytes | This column will and try to track document the quirks, fixes, and unique modifications done to the Sinclair computers. We finally received a suggested name for this column from Vollie Miller, WB4TDB to whom we are grateful. Let’s hear from you. | Timex/Sinclair 1000 |
| DXCC Program | This program, useful for keeping track of your DXCC countries worked, was submitted in such an excellent form that all we had to do is ‘shrink it and shoot it’. It starts on the next convenient page. For you ‘non-hams’ it could be easily modified for other uses. | Timex/Sinclair 1000, Type-in program |
| Editor's Doings | Here’s a mish-mash (is that spelled rite?) of what I have been doing in between the sessions spent оп my TRS80 preparing this newsletter. 1. The Votrax speech synthesizer circuit for the ZX/TS was completed and software development is underway. It uses the phoneme approach, having 61 and 3 pauses. Additional features include an adjustable | Timex/Sinclair 1000 |
| MUF Program | Following is a ZX81 adaptation of the maximum usable frequency (MUF) program from Dec QST. Instructions: Enter CLEAR before saving a copy to tape, this saves loading time. Save program by GOTO 9990. It will then run automatically when loaded. See the QST article for details. | Timex/Sinclair 1000, Type-in program |
| Net Roster Program | Here’s an updated and readable version of the program that appeared in the February 1983 issue. | Timex/Sinclair 1000, Type-in program |
| Products in Review | This column will provide reviews of hardware ‘add-ons’ software, and books that are available for the Sinclair computers. Again, we will do reviews as our budget allows, or as they are loaned/donated by vendors for review. Reviews done by our subscribers will also be welcomed. The first review i s about a Parrot. Not the | Timex/Sinclair 1000 |
| QZX Friends | Here’s your chance to let your ambitions and accomplishments be known. Feel free to let us know what you are up to, and to contact those ‘doing your thing’. | Timex/Sinclair 1000 |
| QZX Net Info | Tired of issues looking thru back for net times and frequencies? Maybe this new format will help. Watch out for the Zulu – wrong night confusion. suppose they will all shift one hour when DST starts. | |
| Roster-6 | Roster-6 allows you to create a list of callsigns and names which are automatically alphabetized according to callsign. | Timex/Sinclair 1000, Type-in program |
| Satellite | Enclosed are two prograns for satellite orbits. One is for 1K and the other requires more than that, but it gives more specific information. I work as a power plant operator (hydroelectric type). I have the ZK81 with 16K and ak looking forward to the T52000. I use mostly ICOM gear, 720A, 2KL, AT500. & | Timex/Sinclair 1000, Type-in program |
| Simple RTTY TU Circuit | This simple RTTY terminal unit provides a TTL output that can be connected directly to the ZX81. Shown is a two position switch to allow for “inversion”. but an additional position is recommended to keep it from messing up tape loading. The LED is used as a tuning indicator and works reasonably well on 170 | Timex/Sinclair 1000 |
| ZX81 RTTY Transmit/Receive Program & Interface | Here is a nice RTTY transmit and receive program with the required hardware interface. | Timex/Sinclair 1000, Type-in program |
