RESCUE RADIO: MY GAREC 2012 TO BE HELD IN MALAYSIA IN
NOVEMBER
The 8th Global Amateur Radio Emergency Conference now coined
as MyGAREC 2012, will be held from November 12th to the 14th
in Malaysia. Amateur Radio Newsline's Norm Seeley, KI7UP,
has the details:
--
Among the draft topics to be discussed at My GAREC 2012 are
High Frequency Emergency Operating Procedures, presentations
from the three regions of the IARU and presentations from
societies with recent disaster relief communications
operations. Also to be discussed will be the future Global
Amateur Radio Emergency Conference itself.
GAREC began in 2005 and is now the premier annual event
attended by those with an interest in amateur radio
providing emergency communications during training exercises
or in response to disasters. As such it attracts
participants from around the world.
General information including information on the venue,
registration fees and the tentative agenda and the
registration forms will be posted on the website
www.mygarec2012.com by the end of this month. That website
will be updated frequently to keep all updated with the
latest news and program changes. For specific information
you can e-mail to info (at) mygarec2012 (dot) com

RESTRUCTURING: NTIA SAYS PACTOR III IS NOT THE ONLY DIGITAL
MODE FOR 60 METERS
Some breaking news for those who operate the 60 meter band.
In response to requests for clarification from the ARRL, the
National Telecommunications and Information Administration
says that it has no objection to the use of a broader range
of data emissions by amateurs on the five 5 MHz frequencies
on 60 meters.
In an e-mail response to ARRL Chief Executive Officer David
Sumner, K1ZZ, Karl Nebbia, the Associate Administrator of
the NTIA Office of Spectrum Management, stated, that his
organization had no interest in limiting the types of
emission used by the amateurs as long as the data emission
does not exceed the 2.8 kHz bandwidth as generated by the
upper sideband transmitter.
Nebbia referred all further inquiries to the FCC, which he
says sets the conditions for use of the five 5 MHz
frequencies by radio amateurs.
The ARRL said that its original understanding was that the
NTIA preferred that the use of 2K80J2D emission be limited
to Pactor III. The NTIA now says that that is not the case.
But it's not all peaches and roses. This is because the
requirement of only one signal per channel remains, as well
as the prohibition against automatic operation. Also, the
FCC continues to require that all digital transmissions be
centered on the channel-center frequencies, which the Report
and Order defines as being 1.5 kHz above the suppressed
carrier frequency of a transceiver operated in the Upper
Sideband mode. The ARRL says that this is typically the
frequency shown on the frequency display.

WORLDBEAT: ICASA SAYS OVER 1700 SOUTH AFRICA HAM LICENSES
HAVE LAPSED
The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa
says that approximately 1700 amateur radio call signs have
been marked as having lapsed by the regulatory agency. This
is as a result of a substantial cleanup that the ICASA
undertook during the last 12 months.
According to the South African Radio League, this is a
significant number of former callsigns and that it is likely
that many amateurs have unwittingly allowed their licenses
to lapse. As an example SARL says it has 43 paid up
members who no longer have valid licenses.
If you are a South Africa radio amateur and believe you
might be one of these people whose license inadvertently
lapsed, the South African Radio Leagues advises to visit its
website where you will find more information and what to do.

HAM CELEBRATIONS: WORLD AMATEUR RADIO DAY TO CELEBRATE 50
YEARS OF HAM RADIO IN SPACE
April 18th is World Amateur Radio Day and celebrates the
87th anniversary of the founding of the International
Amateur Radio Union, IARU. Now it has been announced that
the theme of this years World Amateur Radio Day is "Amateur
Radio Satellites: Celebrating 50 Years in Space."
The name and the theme were chosen in remembrance the
launching of OSCAR 1 on December 12, 1961 and OSCAR 2 on
June 2, 1962. Several IARU Member Societies have already
announced special event stations for various dates during
April to celebrate these two early ham radio in space
milestones.
Callsigns known as we go to air include 6H6IARU, 3G73IARU
and LZ1WARD. The EARD suffix standing for World Amateur
adio Day. (IARU-R2)

HAM RADIO IN SPACE: JAPAN TO LAUNCH AMATEUR RADIO
SATELLITES
Big news on the ham radio space scene. This with word that
the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency has announced the
upcoming launch of five amateur radio satellites. This, on
two launches taking place this spring and summer. Amateur
Radio Newsline's Stephen Kinford, N8WB, is here with more:
--
The first launch is the H2A that takes place on May 17th. It
will carry the amateur radio satellite HORYU-2.
This will be followed on July 21st when the HTV3 mission.
It will deliver the JEM-Small Satellite Orbital Deployer or
J-SSOD to the International Space Station. That unit will
enable small satellites to be deployed from the ISS using
the Japanese Experiment Module robot arm.
The Japanese amateur radio satellites WE-WISH and FITSAT-1,
along with San Jose State University's TechEdSat and
Vietnam's F-1 will also be delivered to the I-S-S on this
mission. Plans are for them to be deployed to orbit on
September 20th.

CHANGING TIMES: ON-LINE DXCC
A new DXCC tool that brings the program partially on-line is
to debut on April 2nd. Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, is in the
newsroom with more:
--
Actually, initial word of the DXCC going on-line came not
from the ARRL but rather from the Ohio-Penn DX newsletter
and was later confirmed by the ARRL DXCC desk. And in a
nutshell, here's how it's going to work.
Using an Online DXCC Application, the candidate can select
the cards that he or she would like to have checked by a
card checker at his or her convenience. The person then
types that data into a form which can be saved and retrieved
at any time until submitted and make an application for
DXCC.
When completed, the applicant will be able to print the list
of cards and take the list -- and the cards -- in the same
order that they are entered into the form -- to a card
checker. He or she will check the cards, note any changes
and send the form to ARRL HQ.
For the most part, the card checker's job is exactly the
same as before, except he or she does not need to collect a
payment. This is because the applicant can pay the DXCC fee
on-line.
Once submitted, DXCC staff will have access a given file,
make any changes noted by the card checker and process the
application.
And oh yes, the good news: The Online DXCC Application will
have rates that are half those of a traditional paper QSL
application that is sent to ARRL HQ.
More detailed information is on-line at tinyurl.com/dxcc-
online
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF,
in the Newsroom, in Los Angeles.

The bottom line: Submitting a DXCC application on-line
should be easier than making a paper application, saving
both time and money. (DXCC, OPDX)

ENFORCEMENT: UNLICENSED BROADCASTER IN PUERTO RICO HAS FINE
REDUCED
The operator of an unlicensed FM broadcast station in Puerto
Rico has been able to convince the FCC to reduce a fine
levied against him based on financial hardship.
After being handed a Notice of Apparent Liability in the
amount of $15,000, Eleuterio Lebron of Guayama, Puerto Rico
responded to the regulatory agency last September. In his
note to the agency he claimed that he was not trying to
violate the FCC rules or the Communications Act when he
operated an unauthorized station on 88.5 MHz. He went on to
say that he thought he could use his Ramsey model PX50
transmitter legally without a license because it was
marketed as being Part 15 compliant.
However in its findings the FCC disagreed with Lebron
interpretation of Ramsey's marketing. It noted that Part 15
compliance wasn't mentioned. It also stated Lebron's
ignorance of the rules doesn't justify or mitigate the
violation. Especially as he had been warned before that the
transmissions were illegal.
However the agency did reduce the penalty to only $1500
based on documentation submitted by Lebron's backing up his
assertion that the original $15,000 penalty amounted to a
financial hardship that he could not pay. While it accepted
this as a viable reason to reduce the fine, the commission
warned Lebron that any future violations may result in
higher monetary forfeitures that may not be reduced based on
his financial circumstances.
Payment of the reduced fine was due within 30 days of Lebron
being officially notified of the FCC's decision in the case.

RESTRUCTURING: FCC FORMS BROADBAND SPECTRUM RE-ALLOCATION
TASK FORCE
The Federal Communications Commission is proposing to re-
allocate another 40 MHz of spectrum out of mobile satellite
services spectrum for broadband, and has formed an Incentive
Auction Task Force. Amateur Radio Newsline's Cheryl Lasek,
K9BIK, reports:
--
This is a committee loaded with some well known names in the
field of telecommunications. Its purpose will manage the
auction process to restructure current broadcast television
spectrum for future broadband use.
Ruth Milkman, the former Wireless Bureau chief who is now
special counsel to the FCC chairman, will head up the task
force. Among others she will be joined by Rick Kaplan, who
now heads the FCC's Wireless Division; Julius Knapp, head of
the Office of Engineering and Technology; FCC Chief
Economist Marius Schwartz; Chief Technologist Henning
Schulzrinne and General Counsel Austin Schlick.
Along with the formation of the task force the commission
also issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to open up 40
MHz of spectrum in the 2 GHz Mobile Satellite Services band
for wireless broadband. The proposed rules would allow
flexible use of the targeted spectrum and reflects the
directives in the National Broadband Plan.
For the amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Cheryl Lasek, K9BIK, in
Zion, Illinois.

NAMES IN THE NEWS: WO4W SAYS BETTER TORNADO WARNING SYSTEM
NEEDED
In an interview with National Public Radio, veteran T-V
meteorologist James Spann, WO4W, recently highlighted the
limitations he and his colleagues face when covering
tornadoes. Spann, who has become something of a severe
weather pundit during his time at Birmingham Alabama's ABC
33/40, says that we are not as good as we think we are, and
we have to accept that and work on it and be better.
WO4W says that television stations must stream their long
form tornado coverage in a way that is accessible to all
portable devices, not just some of them. And says Spann,
its important to make the stream easy to find either via a
web page or app. You can hear the story on National Public
Radio's All Things Considered at tinyurl.com/npr-tornado-
alert.
James Spann has long been an outspoken critic of the siren
only warning process and the public's over-reliance on them.
Following the April 2011 tornado outbreak he wrote a long
blog post about the siren mentality titled "The Warning
Process Must Be Fixed." Its on the web at tinyurl.com/spann-

RADIO IN SPACE: NASA CONSIDERING LAGRANGE POINT OUTPOST
NASA is pressing forward on assessing the value of a human-
tended outpost near the far side of the moon. One that
would embrace international partnerships as well as
commercial and academic participation,
According to SPACE.com, William Gerstenmaier is NASA's
Associate Administrator for Human Exploration and
operations. And in a February 3rd memo Gerstenmaier says
that a team is being formed to develop a cohesive plan for
exploring a spot in space known as the Earth-moon Lagrange
point.
Lagrange points sometimes called liberation points, are
places in space where the combined gravitational pull of two
large masses roughly balance each other out. This would
allow a spacecraft or other object to essentially park in
that spot without being pulled toward either one of the
masses.
A pre-memo NASA appraisal of Lagrange Point EML-2, which is
near the lunar far side, has spotlighted this destination as
the leading option for a near-term space study. EML-2 could
serve as a gateway for exploration of multiple destinations
including near-lunar space, our own moon, asteroids, the
moons of Mars and ultimately, the red planet itself.

THAT FINAL ITEM: STRANGE MORSE FROM SPACE
And finally this week, it appears as if radio astronomers
have discovered mysterious sources of extremely high-powered
radiation across the universe. Amateur Radio Newsline's
Newsline's space-faring, roving reporter Pierre Pullinmyleg,
says that hams are helping to unravel the mystery.
--
Scientists at NASA say the Fermi space telescope has
discovered hundreds of super-high-energy gamma ray sources
at the very top end of the electromagnetic spectrum, and
that more than a third of them are complete mysteries.
Adding to the mystery is the pattern of these gamma rays on
spectrograms, showing short bursts of energy that resemble
dots and longer ones that look like dashes.
Several radio astronomers who are also radio amateurs
noticed these patterns and performed two sets of
calculations with amazing results. The frequencies on which
the gamma ray sources were discovered correspond with the
two-billionth harmonic of 20 meters, and distance
calculations show that, had the signals originated on Earth
and been re-radiated back toward us, the dates of origin
always seem to match up with the dates of major CW contests
here on Earth.
One spectrogram currently making the rounds in ham radio
astronomy circles clearly shows a pattern which, in Morse
code, would read:
"Di-dah, di-dah-dah-dit, di-dah-dit, di-dit, di-dah-di-dit,"
followed by a space and "di-di-dah-dit, dah-dah-dah, dah-dah-
dah, di-dah-di-dit." Another reason, they say, to know code.
Reporting from near Alpha Centauri, this is Pierre
Pullinmyleg for Newsline.
--
More details on the Fermi Space Telescope's findings and
current sample spectrograms are available online at science
dot nasa dot gov. We are told that the spectrograms Pierre
alluded to in his report are not scheduled to be released
until sometime after the 1st of April, in the year 2112.
