RADIO LAW: UK HAMS TO SHARE 2 METERS WITH OLYMPICS
Ham radio operators in London will be temporarily giving up a part of the
2 meter band to accommodate the 2012 Olympic Games. Jeremy Boot, G4NJH,
reports from Nottingham in the UK:
--
British telecommunications regulator Ofcom has announced that a small
block of the amateur radio 144 MHz band is to be used for the London 2012
Summer Olympic Games.
The RSGB have issued the following announcement: Following negotiations
to minimize the impact on amateurs, Ofcom has now announced that it will
temporarily authorize a small block of 12.5kHz channels, ranging from
144.0125MHz to 144.1375MHz, for the period 27 July to 28 August 2012 only.
The frequencies to be used specifically exclude 144.0500MHz the CW Calling
frequency and 144.1000MHz which is the Perseids Meteor Scatter CW Calling
channel.
Ofcom are aware of the various amateur contests scheduled for 4 and 7
August and will work with Game users to keep operations to a minimum on
these dates.
Usage of this spectrum by Games users will be in the vicinity of London
Olympic venues and will be limited to handheld equipment operating on a
maximum of 5W output.
I'm Jeramy Boot, G4NJH.

RADIO POLITICS: UAE GOVERNMENT REGULATOR MEETS WITH NATIONAL HAM RADIO
SOCIERT
The Emirates Amateur Radio Society has met with the United Arab Emirates
Telecommunications Regulatory Authority or TRA. This to discuss amateur
radio issues.
According to news reports, the meeting shed light on Emirates Amateur
Radio Society perspectives related to regulations for radio communications
amateurs issued by the TRA. This included amateur radio authorizations,
frequencies used by UAE hams, the mechanism of authorizing visitors and
residents to operate in that nation, and cooperation and coordination
between the two groups during various activities. The two sides also
discussed ways to utilize ham radio to support governmental entities while
performing public service activities and at international competitions
throughout the year.
At that gathering, the TRA stated that the United Arab Emirates is a
country concerned with providing various types of communications to users
including radio communications. It said that meeting with a specialized
entity such as the society is highly important in order to promote radio
communications in the country. It added that this meeting garners further
significance especially when it takes into consideration that the United
Arab Emirates is a country that hosts numerous desert sports activities
and competitions. This it says makes radio communications a key issue
particularly with regard to cases of accidents, disasters, or being lost
in the desert.
The meeting took place at the TRA headquarters in Abu Dhabi and brought to
light a number of issues related to radio communications. The full report
of the meeting in English can be read at tinyurl.com/uae-hams. (Southgate

PROPAGATION: DOUBLE CME HITS EARTH CAUSING AURORAS
SpaceWeather reports that a geomagnetic storm occurred in the wake of the
Suns double Coronal Mass Ejection or C-M-E impact on June 16. The hit,
which strongly compressed Earth's magnetic field, lit up both poles with
bright auroras.
Here in the United States and Canada, the Northern Lights descended as far
south as Oregon, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Washington state
and the Dakotas. And as ham radio operators know, this C-M-E also made
for some rather interesting conditions on the air, especially on 50 Mhz
and above. (SpaceWeather.com)

TECHNOLOGY: PHASE MODULATION TESTS ON WWVB
The National Institute of Standards and Technology or NIST is currently
testing phase modulation in addition to the existing amplitude modulation
on time standard station WWVB. The AM signal continues while the phase
modulation is tested, so there should not be any interruption in service
to existing AM devices. However, the NIST warns that phase-locked loop
devices AM devices may lose signal lock at times during the tests. The
experiment will end prior to the June 30th leap second correction.
Questions or comments can be forwarded to WWVB Broadcast Manager John Lowe
by e-mail at john (dot) lowe (at) nist (dot) gov. (WB5ITT)

BANDPLANNING: COMMENTS SOUGHT ON PROPOSED 23 CM BANDPLAN
Rick Roderick K5UR, who chairs the ARRL UHF and Microwave Band Plan
Committee is asking for input on the new proposed amateur 23 cm bandplan.
K5UR requests that the ham radio community look over the draft band plan
and let him know if you have any major concerns. You can see and download
the proposed plan at tinyurl.com/23-cm-plan. Comments go by e-mail to

RADIO LAW: COMMUNICATIONS TOWER LIGHTS NOW FOR THE BIRDS
Federal Aviation Administration officials have decided that operators of
tall towers may turn off one type of warning light that may be a cause of
bird collisions, and do so without endangering those flying aircraft.
According to news reports federal wildlife researchers found migratory
birds get disoriented by steady red warning lights. As a result the FAA
has determined it may be okay to turn those off because they claim that
pilots can still see towers at night using flashing red warning lights.
Federal wildlife researchers and some conservationists claim that close to
7 million migrating birds die each year when they hit communications
towers in the United States and Canada. Broadcasters and other tower
owners doubt the number is that high. They point to counter research
collated by the FCC that says more birds die from cats and flying into
structures such as high rise building windows.
The FCC hasn't made the new light scheme mandatory but officials said
recently they would honor the change. You may recall that back last
December, the commission began requiring formal public notice and
requiring for new towers taller than 450 feet. Also required is an
environmental assessment of the potential impact of a new tower on
migratory birds. (RW)

RADIO LAW: FCC CORRECTS LICENSE CLASS PAPERWORK ERROR
The FCC has modified the Amateur Radio Service license of Todd Wilson,
WH6DWF, of Honolulu, Hawaii. This by replacing his General Class operator
privileges with Technician Class operator privileges.
No, Wilson did nothing wrong. Rather he was the innocent victim of a
clerical error by the ARRL VEC. Heres the back story.
By correspondence dated January 13, 2012, the ARRL VEC notified the
Commission that it had made an error in the November 29, 2011 data file
and that Wilson was qualified for a Technician Class operator license but
not a General Class. Therefore, ARRL VEC requested that the FCC modify
Wilson's license to correct the operator privileges authorized.
The Order of Modification was released on March 15, 2012. Wilson did not
protest the proposed modification of his license within the requisite
thirty-day time frame. Accordingly, he is deemed to have consented to the
proposed modification. Based on the record before it, on June 19th the
FCC concluded that it is in the pubic interest to modify the license for
Amateur Radio Service Station WH6DWF by changing the authorized operating
privileges from General Class to Technician Class. (FCC)

ENFORCEMENT: ANOTHER UNLICENSED FLORIDA ISSUED $15000 NAL
The Tampa FCC Office has issued a $15,000 Notice of Apparent Liability for
Forfeiture to Albert R. Knighten, Jr.. This for apparently willfully and
repeatedly violating Section 301 of the Communications by operating an
unlicensed radio transmitter on the frequency 107.5 MHz from his residence
in Fort Myers, Florida. Amateur Radio Newsline's Skeeter Nash, N5ASH, has
the details:
--
On December 1st and 9th, 2011, agents from the Enforcement Bureau's Tampa
Office T-hunted a signal on 107.5 MHz to an FM transmitting antenna
mounted on a tower at Knighten's residence. Agents also determined that
the signals on 107.5 MHz exceeded the limits for operation under Part 15
of the Commission's rules and therefore required a license.
On December 9, 2011, local law enforcement executed a search warrant for
the premises. At that time agents from the FCC Tampa Office interviewed
Knighten who was present in his residence when the station was on the air.
During the interview Knighten admitted to purchasing and installing the
radio equipment. He also claimed to be the sole person operating the
unlicensed station and had been doing so for over a month. The FCC agents
also inspected the unlicensed radio station before the equipment was
seized by local law enforcement.
Now in issuing the Notice of Apparent Liability, the FCC says that because
Knighten consciously operated the station and on more than one day, the
apparent violation of the Communications Act was both willful and
repeated. As such, and based on the evidence before it, that a $15,000
penalty is warranted.
--
Knighten was given the customary 30 days to pay the $15,000 NAL or to file
an appeal. (FCC)

ENFORCEMENT: INCOMPLETE PAPERWORK LEADS TO $10000 FINE FOR NYC COLLEGE
STATION
Columbia University in New York City has been issued a $10,000 Monetary
Forfeiture based on documents missing from the public inspection file of
its non-commercial station WKCR- FM. Amateur Radio Newsline's Fred Vobbe,
W8HDU, is here with the details":
--
The case is unusual because WKCR stated on its renewal application that
since its transmission facilities on the World Trade Center had been
destroyed on 9/11, the station has faced operating difficulties. As such,
it has been transmitting from various temporary locations and with a
reduced coverage area.
According to several media reports, Columbia University was totally
truthful on its license renewal application. It admitted that WKCR's
public file was incomplete. It said the quarterly issues and program
lists were not missing deliberately but inadvertently.
However in rendering its decision, the FCC said the missing files occurred
over the entire eight-year period of the license grant. This, included a
four-year period before its transmitting facilities were destroyed. As
such, the regulatory agency stated that WKCR's violations we both serious
and displayed a pattern of abuse of the FCC's rules. Because of this, the
station came close to having its license renewal granted for a short term
period. However the Media Bureau decided not to take that route because
WKCR is due to file its next renewal application February 1, 2014.
In the end. the Commission decided that overall WKCR has served the public
interest during its license term. That's why it will grant the renewal
separately once the forfeiture proceeding is concluded.
For the amateur radio Newsline, Im Fred Vobbe, W8HDU, in Lima, Ohio.

Columbia University was given the customary 30 days from the date the FCC
decision was rendered to pay the penalty or to file an appeal. (RBR, FCC)

RADIO LAW: SCRAP METAL THEFT BECOME A FELONY IN FLORIDA
It's about to get a lot more difficult harder to sell a stolen piece of
transmission line or any form of purloined metal in Florida. This as the
state severely tightens regulations on how scrap metal dealers operate
their businesses in that state. Amateur Radio Newsline's Cheryl Lasek,
K9BIK, reports:
--
The new rules that go into effect on July 1st make stealing copper from a
utility or communications services provider a Florida state first-degree
felony. This translates into the possibility of a thief being sentenced
to a 30-year prison sentence and a $10,000 fine. The law also makes
knowingly purchasing stolen metals a third-degree felony, which could mean
five years in prison and a $5,000 fine for the purchaser.
But the change likely to have the greatest influence on copper theft is
the banning of cash payments for scrap metal. Under the new law all
payments must be made by check or an electronic payment system, and
payment may be delayed by up to three days.
All scrap-metal dealers will have to be registered with the state, and
dealers will be required to keep better records of all purchases,
including photographs of the material bought. If they purchase an item
with a serial number on it, the dealer will have to check a state database
to make sure the item has not been reported stolen.
As to the perpetrators of such thefts, the new law waives civil liability
for property owners if someone is injured or killed while trying to steal
copper or other regulated materials. In other words a thief or a
surviving relative of the thief will not be permitted to file a law suit
trying to hold those who own the stolen metals responsible for the
perpetrators injuries or death.
Florida Governor Rick Scott signed the bill into law at the end of April.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Cheryl Lasek, K9BIK, in Zion,
Illinois.
--
Copper theft has been an increasing problem for broadcasters, power
companies and other industries that use these metals. This is
particularly true for those located at remote and unattended sites. Even
ham radio operators have in the past years reported theft of antenna
transmission lines. (CGC, others)

WORLDBEAT: RADIO NETHERLANDS WORLDWIDE TO CEASE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
BROADCASTS ON JUNE 29TH
Radio Netherlands English service will closes down at the end of June.
According to the International broadcaster, the decision to curtail
English language transmissions on June 29th is the result of steep budget
cuts imposed by the Dutch government and a concomitant change in focus of
the station. As such, providing the world with what it terms as a
realistic image of the Netherlands, as it has done since 1947, will no
longer be one of its statutory duties.
According to the stations website, as of July 1st there will no longer be
a daily review of the Dutch papers and coverage of Dutch news stories will
also cease. And, since the English webstream will also end on June 29th,
there will be a Listening Guide posted or mailed out.
For its final English language transmission on June 29th, Radio
Netherlands plans to broadcast a show looking back at the past decades of
its service. Its asking listeners who may have a memory to share to sent
that by e-mail to letters (at) rnw (dot) nl.
The shut down of the long popular Radio Netherlands English language
transmissions follow the closure of the Dutch service in May. More is

MAKING WAVES: HAM RADIO TEST CRUISE OF OH10X/MM ON BALTIC SEA.
Radio Arcala, the massive ham radio contest station that operates as OH8X
near the Arctic Circle in association with Kristina Cruises Ltd. are in
the process of testing to see if a permanent amateur radio station will
suit the maritime environment and serve DX'ers in their leisure time.
The ship used for the first evaluation held June 20th to the 24th was the
M/S Kristina Katarina which is owned by a private Finnish company. The
onboard ham radio station consisted of an Icom IC-7600 on the top deck.
The antenna was a 20 meter long wire fed by a remote antenna tuner.
The first run that was to ascertain any potential interference issues from
the amateur radio station to the ship's navigation system. Also to see
the impact from the ship's advanced P-C networks to the reception of
amateur radio transmissions.
During the test cruise, the station was to be active at the peak
propagation hours to various continents on 14.267 MHz. The test cruise
took the ship to Estonia, Gotland, Sweden, the Aland Islands, and back to
Finland.
In addition to the technical evaluation, famed DXer Martti Laine, OH2BH,
was on-board with a target to contact all continents. This to celebrate
the signing a possible permanent agreement for the station to be available
for guests who hold an amateur radio license.
The M/S Kristina Katarina is a 138 meter long vessel. It has a cruising
speed of 15 knots and can hold a maximum of 450 guests. Two Finnair
jetliners were available backing the operations for change of passengers
at a variety of ports along the way.

THAT FINAL ITEM: THE 12TH USA ARDF CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS
And finally this week, a hidden transmitter hunt in California has drawn
radio direction finding fans from around the country. Newsline's Joe
Moell K0OV, who is also the ARRL's ARDF Coordinator, tells us all about
it.
--
Fans of on-foot transmitter hunting gathered in the little village of Mt.
Laguna, California early this month for the twelfth annual USA
championships of Amateur Radio Direction Finding, or ARDF. They came from
nine states plus British Columbia, Canada to see who would win the medals
and who would be selected to go to the World Championships in Serbia this
September. One quarter of them had never been to a national championship
foxhunt before.
The big event was sponsored by the Los Angeles Orienteering Club and was
organized and hosted by Marvin Johnston KE6HTS. With lots of volunteer
help, Marvin set out two challenging championship courses in the forested
mountains at 6000 feet elevation, one on two meters and the other on 80
meters, on the weekend of June 1 and 2. In accordance with standard rules
of the International Amateur Radio Union, the participants were divided
into eleven age and gender categories, so the ones in their 70's didn't
have to compete against prime-agers for the gold.
The championship courses were over six kilometers from start to each of
the five transmitters and then to the finish. In addition, there was a
sprint event to see who could find ten lower-powered transmitters fastest.
There was also a foxoring event. That's a new sport that combines
orienteering and direction-finding. Competitors were given a map marked
with ten circles. When they got inside the area represented by each
circle, they could hear a QRP 80-meter transmitter and track it down with
RDF. The first to get all ten would win. Before these events, there was a
two-day training camp on Wednesday and Thursday, with full-size courses on
two meters and 80-meters.
When it was all over, 13 OMs and 6 YLs had received medals to take home
with them. For the complete results and photos of these championships,
point your Web browser to homingin.com. That's homingin -- as one word --
homingin.com. That's also a good place to learn more about bringing
on-foot foxhunting to your locality.
For Amateur Radio Newsline, this is Joe Moell K0OV.

If you have never been out on a hidden transmitter hunt you are missing
one of the most fun aspects of the hobby. If a local club or other group
you know of holds these fun events, you might consider joining in and
giving it a try. (K0OV)
