ENFORCEMENT: HAM RADIO COUPLE MURDERED IN NEBRASKA

Authorities in Nebraska have a 34-year-old homeless man in custody who they
believe was involved in the weekend deaths of a ham radio couple living in
rural Lancaster County. Amateur Radio Newsline's Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, has
the details of the arrest following a rather horrific crime:

--

Lancaster County Nebraska Sheriff Terry Wagner says that Brandon Christopher
Crago has been arrested on suspicion of robbery and vehicle theft. He is also
being held in connection deaths of Steven Baily, N0US and his wife Carolyn,
N0LAL.

According to the Sheriff's Office, its deputies were called to the Baily
residence around noon on Sunday August 10th at the request of a neighbor.
That's when authorities found the remains of the two murdered radio amateurs.
Joe Eisenberg, K0NEB, lives in Lincoln. He knew N0US and N0LAL. He tells
Newsline that the local ham radio community is in horrified by what happened to
their friends::

--

K0NEB: "The first reaction is total and utter shock and disbelief that
something like this could happen right here in Lincoln, Nebraska, let alone to
two such wonderful people and totally at random. Its just a total shock to us
and there is great sadness and heavy hearts amongst all of us here."

--

According to news reports, the story began to unfold early Sunday morning. At
about 7:20 a.m. Central time, Lincoln police were called to a robbery in the
Northeast area of the city. That's where a armed man entered a home and
demanded the keys to a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

An hour later, deputies found the Jeep idling at an area Southwest of town. The
residents of the property reported their blue and silver 2005 Toyota Camry was
missing.

Later on Sunday, detectives were able to connect the Bailys' deaths to the
robbery as well as the two vehicle thefts. Joe Eisenberg, K0NEB, says that
Crago was a wanted man before the alleged Sunday crime spree:

_

K0NEB: "He lived here in town as a homeless person and was in and out of drug
rehabilitation and was being sought by the Feds on multiple drug charges. In
fact, he was just about to be arrested by the Federal authorities on drug
distribution charges."

--

Police also believe Brandon Christopher Crago may have been involved in an
additional crime on Sunday morning. A man matching his description broke into a
home between 7:30 and 9:30 a.m.. The suspect assaulted a 46-year-old man who
was sleeping on a couch and stole about $80 cash.

According to a police report, Crago attempted suicide at a motel where he was
staying before being taken into custody. He allegedly stabbed himself in the
chest in an attempt to peace his own heart, but the injuries were not
life-threatening.

For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bill Pasternak, in the newsroom in Los
Angeles.

--

Authorities say that Crago has had several local arrests for drugs and assault
dating back to 1994. They are still looking into whether he had an accomplice
this time or if he acted alone.

**

ENFORCEMENT: ABOUT THE VICTUMS

And what about the victims of this seemingly senseless crime? According to Joe
Eisenberg, K0NEB, both Steve Baily, N0US and Carolyn Baily, N0LAL, were in
their early 60's and were well liked. They were also heavily involved in the
local ham radio community:

--

Eisenberg: "They were very nice people. They would go out of their way to help
out. He was an active storm spotter and they were active members of the Ashland
Amateur Radio Club and helping to put on the annual hamfest, and they were
always very supportive of their club and of amateur radio."

--

K0NEB says that he and Steve Baily, N0US, had something in common. Like
Eisenberg, Baily was a computer service technician by trade. Both traveled the
region and quite often chatted on the air:

--

Eisenberg: "Almost every day we would talk with him and hi wife over the
Ashland Radio Club repeater or the Lincoln repeater. Sometimes we wound even
talk on .52 simplex because I would run across his car as we were driving along
down the Interstate and I would wave hi."

--

As to Carolyn Baily, N0LAL, her other interest was dogs. A longtime 4 H leader,
she served a number of terms as an officer with the Cornhusker Kennel Club. Her
favorite breed were Boxers and she had two as pets.

The Baily's are survived by their grown daughters Jennifer Baily of New York
and Heather Burns in Washington along with her husband Greg, and their two
children. At airtime funeral arrangements for N0US and N0LAL are pending.

RADIO LAW: TENNESSEE TOWN WON'T CHARGE FCC INSPECTORS WITH
IMPERSONATING POLICE OFFICERS

Charges won't be filed against two Federal Communications Commission agents who
allegedly told Church Hill, Tennessee police they were with the states Bureau
of Investigation Meth Task Force this past June. Burt Hicks, WB6MQV, has the
details:

--

The TimesNet dot com electronic newspaper says that arrest warrants had been
written but not served against two FCC investigators who were in Church Hill,
Tennessee, on an undercover mission last spring. The FCC agents were in the
town on June 10th investigating complaints made by the neighboring Mount Carmel
Police Department that someone was continually "keying over" radio transmission
made between one of its officers and Hawkins County Central Dispatch.

The TimesNet story says that the FCC agents decided to use a cover story that
they were part of a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Meth Task Force. The
on-line newspaper quotes a Church Hill Police Department report that says that
on June 10th about 11 p.m. Officer Danny Depew stopped an SUV with Alabama
license plates. This, after it pulled onto Main Boulevard from a parking lot
without its headlights on.

According to the report, the two male occupants of the SUV stated they were
"state Meth Task Force agents" although they didn't have credentials. Mount
Carmel Fire Chief and Police Officer Chris Jones, who actually is a member of
the states Meth Task Force came to the scene to vouch for them.

In his report Officer Depew stated that he later talked about the traffic stop
with Officer Chip Whitaker. They discussed the
possibility that the men in the SUV were not what they claimed and were only
impersonating officers.

Depew and Whitaker then stopped the SUV in the Food City parking lot shortly
after midnight and spoke again to the undercover FCC investigators. Again they
identified themselves as Meth Task Force agents, and again Chief Jones arrived
on the scene to vouch for their identity.

The FCC agents were released, but the incident was later turned over to the
Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. On Friday, August 1st the Church Hill police
received confirmation that the men in the SUV were not Meth Task Force agents
or any other type of local, state or federal law enforcement officers. Instead
they were FCC employees who were in the area working on a radio complaint.

The Church Hill Police Department prepared warrants charging both men with
multiple counts of impersonating police officers but held off serving them
after Tennesese Judicial District Attorney General Berkeley Bell advised
against it. Bell told the TimesNet dot com that he was leaving the decision
whether or not to charge the FCC investigators to Church Hill, but he was very
much against it.

Also, as others observed, there was also the possibility that the FCC might go
into Federal Court and charge the Church Hill Police Department or its officers
with impeding a federal investigation. Either way, for now the case has been
shelved.

--

The jamming problem had been ongoing for several months prior to the arrival of
the FCC agents. It reportedly ended suddenly after the incident with FCC
investigators in Church Hill on June 10th. The complete story is on-line at

ENFORCEMENT: RUSSIAN HAMS WARNED TO STAY OFF UK AIR FORCE FREQUENCY

Two unnamed amateur radio enthusiasts in the Ulyanovsk region of Russia whom
authorities say were the source of unintentional interference to U.K. Air Force
pilots have been ordered off of a formerly secret radio frequency used in
Russia.
 
About a month ago United Kingdom telecommunications officials complained to
Russian radio authorities that from time to time airborne communications was
hindered by some Russian citizens using the same frequency. The British were
able to establish that the signal came from the Volga district. Russian
telecommunications personnel found the culprits to be a pair of amateur radio
enthusiasts aged 25 and 50.

The pair of hobbyists were not charged with any crime. However they were
advised to register with the local ham radio club and toi use only official
amateur radio frequencies.

There has been no further complaints from U.K. pilots according to the
telecommunications spokesman. (Adapted from Interfax on-line report)

EMERGING TECHNOLOGY: HF DIGITAL VOICE VIA ECHOLINK

Amateur Radio operators seeking to experiment with High Frequency Digital
transmissions now have a new option. EchoLink users may now access club station
W6AOR dash L via the internet. Amateur Radio Newsline's Jeff Reinhardt, AA6JR,
says it's a member of the ham radio supply industry that's making this service
available:

--

The W6AOR Echolink High Frequency ham radio station is located at AOR USA
headquarters in Torrance, California. AOR is a leading supplier of receivers
and digital voice modems.

Taka Nakayama KW6I, is the trustee for W6AOR. He said the suggestion to create
an EchoLink accessible station came from a number of different sources. He says
that putting the station together was just a matter of assembling a few spare
parts, a Kenwood transceiver, a digital modem and then hooking up internet
access.

W6AOR transmits and receives on 14.236 USB through a digital modem using the
G4GUO digital protocol through a "barefoot" Kenwood transceiver into a vertical
antenna. The W6AOR EchoLink HF station will allow hams who do not yet have
their own digital modem to make contacts with digitally-equipped stations. Taka
Nakayama adds that the station can also be used to participate in digital nets
and to verify the correct installation or operation of a similarly-equipped
digital station.

KW6I says that the station was put on the air for the enjoyment of all radio
amateurs. He also says that it is a way to give the ham radio community the
ability to experiment with the emerging world of High Frequency amateur radio
digital voice communications.

For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Jeff Reinhardt, AA6JR.

Echolink use of W6AOR is open to all properly licensed operators at no cost.

NEWSLINE FOLLOW-UP: MORE ON WIRELES MICS IN THE BROADCAST SPECTRUM

A follow-up to our recent story regarding a complaint filed Wednesday, July
16th, by the Public Interest Spectrum Coalition. It charged that manufacturers
of wireless microphones use deceptive advertising in the way they market them.
Also, that they sell high end, wireless microphones to people who the coalition
claims are not legally permitted to use them.

Now comes word that the Federal Communication Commission's Office of
Engineering and Technology is currently field testing the performance of
prototype White Space Devices which use the same free broadcast television
spectrum as the theatrical wireless microphones. These so- called TV white
spaces have been used for years to support microphones for sporting events,
stage shows, live TV broadcasts and church services and other events.

FCC spokesman Alan Stillwell said that these tests were to examine the ability
of white space devices to detect the signals of TV stations and wireless
microphones. They are also looking at the potential for a transmitter operating
in the white spaces to interfere with TV reception and wireless microphone
operations.

As we reported two weeks ago, the Public Interest Spectrum Coalition is
recommending that the FCC immediately act to halt sales of wireless microphones
that operate between TV channels 52 and 69. It also wants the FCC to require
microphone manufacturers replace all the older units now in use. It also
recommends that the government agree to a general amnesty for unauthorized
microphone users.  Where this latest FCC move leaves the Public Interest
Spectrum Coalition and its demand that all wireless mics stop using this same
spectrum is very hard to say. (RW, others)

ENFORCEMENT: NYC AREA FINE FOR UNLICENSED OPERATION

The FCC has fined the alleged operator of a New York City area unlicensed radio
station $10,000. Feeling the FCC's sting this time is Jean Idalbert who is
accused of operating an unlicensed radio transmitter on the frequency 90.9 MHz
in the borough of Brooklyn.

Back this past April 29, the Commission's New York Field Office issued a Notice
of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture in the amount of $10,000 to Idalbert.
Despite evidence that Idalbert received the notice, Idalbert has not filed a
response.

Based on the information before it the FCC affirmed the forfeiture on August
6th. Idalbert was given the usual 30 days to pay or to file an appeal. If
Idalbert fails to pay the fine the matter would likely be sent to the
Department of Justice for collection and other possible punitive actions. (FCC)

amateur radio demonstration than it is a contest. Participating
lighthouse/lightship stations do not have to be inside the structure or on the
vessel itself. The sponsors say that a Field Day-type station at or adjacent to

EMERGING TECHNOLOGY: A LOOK AT HD RADIO GROWTH

Digital high-definition radio is hitting some key milestones in terms of
pricing and features. To date, nearly 1,750 AM/FM stations covering 83% of the
United States are broadcasting digitally. Another 800 offer original formats
and content on HD on ansulary channels. This is according to iBiquity Digital
which is the developer and licensor of HD radio technology.

And according to published news reports, the prices on some radio models have
tumbled below $100. About 60 HD receiver models are now available in the,
including table-top units and car radios from such leading consumer and
audiophile brands as Panasonic, Yamaha, Denon, Polk and Harman Kardon. Among
the manufacturers breaking through the $100 price point is Radiosophy, which
specializes in HD radio receivers. The company's portable HD100 radio, which
includes a clock radio and an input jack for an MP3 player, costs $49.95 after
a $50 rebate. Also, more auto manufacturers are offering HD radio as a factory
or dealer-installed option.

U.S. HD radio sales totaled about 300,000 units in 2007, with about 1 million
more units expected to be sold before the end of 2008, iBiquity president Bob
Struble remains optimistic that falling prices will finally jump-start the HD
market. (RW)

THAT FINAL ITEM: OFF TO BUY A NEW RADIO

And finally this week, the story of a United Kingdom ham who only wantred a new
radio but in trying to buy it he caused traffic chaos and sparked a police hunt
to find him. Amateur Radio Newsline' Bruce Tennant, K6PZW, has more:

--

An unidentified 81-year-old United Kingdom radio amateur was eventually
pulled-over by police. This, after they received a number of calls from worried
motorists who had spotted him driving his 8 mph mobility scooter along the road
separation median adjacent to the busy, 70 A-27 highway near the city of
Portsmouth on Monday, August 4th. But not they could not find him until he was
on his way back home. Here's the rest of the story.

..The intrepid senior citizen radio amateur had set off from his home near
Havant some time before 11a,m... His destination was the well- known amateur
radio retailer Nevada Radio. That's a trip of about seven miles to the town of
Farlington on the outskirts of Portsmouth.

Reportedly, trucks and cars using the 70 MPH motorway were forced to swerve out
of the way as the elderly ham and his scooter crawled along the middle median
at what seemed to be a snails pace.

Mike Devereux is the Managing Director of Nevada Radio. He told the Southgate
News that those in the store were amazed when the elderly ham turned up at the
showrooms in his slippers and driving his motorized buggy. Devereux said that
the he told store employees that he was getting back in to Amateur radio and
wanted to buy an Icom 7400 and a power supply.

Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, he could not remember his credit card pin
number and ended up leaving Nevada empty handed. Police finally caught up with
him shortly after 1 p.m. on his journey home. Reportedly they gave him some
stern road safety advice after which he and his battery powered scooter were
driven back home in a police van.

Only one question remains. Some wonder if the ham on the scooter had any plans
to operate scooter mobile. Chances are that none of us will ever know.

For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bruce Tennant, K6PZW, reporting

--

Although his four-mile trip on the roads median caused bumper to bumper chaos,
under United Kingdom traffic regulations he was not breaking the law. This is
because he was not on the motorway itself. (Southgate)
