HAM POLITICS:  IARU VOTING ON TWO PROPOSED NEW MEMBERS

The International Amateur Radio Union could have two new members before
years end.  Amateur Radio Newsline's Heather Butera-Howell, KB3TZD, is
here with the details:

--

The Federation of Radio Sport of Azerbaijan or FRSA and the St. Vincent &
Grenadine Amateur Radio Club are being proposed for membership in the
International Amateur Radio Union.

The FRSA based in Baku.  It so far has 50 members.  The St. Vincent &
Grenadine Amateur Radio Club has 21 members.  Both have made their
proposals through IARU Region 2 for membership.

The International Amateur Radio Union Calendar notes that the groups have
declared that they can satisfy the requirements of the IARU Constitution
and Bylaws.  As such, their proposed membership has been put up to the
vote by all International Amateur Radio Union member societies who have
until November 1st to cast a ballot.

For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Heather Butera-Howell, KB3TZD, near
Berwick, Pennsylvania.

Meantime, Jim Linton, VK3PC reports on two International Amateur Radio
Union member certifications that have been rescinded.  Linton says that
despite a request, no proof has been provided that the former PNGARS of
Papua New Guinea and BARTS in Burma or Myanmar still exist and have been
withdrawn from membership.  (VK3PC)

VHF DX:  BIG VHF OPENING ALONG THE EAST AND SOUTH CENTRAL USA

They are calling it one of the best VHF band openings since the late
1950's.  This as hams along the Eastern seaboard and South-Central states
report what appears to be both a tropospheric duct and some double-hop E
layer skip that permitted QSO's from Vermont south to Tennessee and Texas
on bands as high as 220 MHz on Tuesday, July 24th.

One interesting report came to us from Kevin Duplantis, W4KEV.  He says
that at about 5:30 pm EST in Knoxville, Tennessee that he was tuning
around the FM broadcast  band when he stopped on WRJK 106.7.  That's when
he heard a commercial that seemed out of place so he kept listening.  It
turned out that instead of WRJK he was hearing a station identifying as
106.7 the Wizard, Burlington, Vermont.  After a number of fades happened
and the Vermont station came back so strong that it totally wiping out the
local Knoxville station that was only 15 miles away.

At that point W4KEV reports that he took to the 2 meter band where he made
what he describes as a ton of contacts into the northeast and southeast
and Canada.  Some well over 1000 miles distant.  He then switched to the
222 MHz band where he noted a definite E-skip opening that lasted a solid
half hour.  During this time he hears Canadian stations make contact with
the lower parts of Alabama and Mississippi.

W4KEV hays that they do not get many tropo openings in his area so this
was a thrill to say the least.

Meantime the dxworld.com Propagation Logger for 2 meters shows several
likely record breaking contacts in sheer numbers if nothing else.  By way
of example, Mike Larsen, KC0CF in Stanhope, Iowa posted that he worked 32
stations from Florida to Virginia during the opening and his report was
just one of many.

In all, it appears as if July 24th, 2012, is one that will go down in the
VHF and UHF record books and operators world wide are hoping its only a
precursor of what may be still soon to come in DX in the world above 50
MHz.  (ARNewslineT, 2 Meter Prop Logger)

RADIOSPORTS:  2O12L AND 2O12W ON THE AIR TO COMMEMORATE THE LONDON
OLYMPICS

The 2012 Summer Olympics are on the ham radio airwaves.  On Wednesday,
July 25th, two special event call signs were activated in the United
Kingdom to celebrate the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.  Take a
listen:

--

Audio of Opening:  "Many thanks for you coming along to the opening
ceremonies of 2O12L.  This is the special event call sign of the Cray
Valley Radio Society to celebrate the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic
Games."

--

As previously reported here on Newsline, 2O12L will operate from London,
while 2O12W was to take to the ham bands from Barry in Wales.  Both
stations will be on the air through August 12th for the games themselves
and will continue operations through September 9th.

Updates on both operations will be available on the Twitter social
networking site using the screen names of @2012L and @GW0ZANA
respectively.  Organizers hope to make 80,000 or more contacts during the
time that 2O12L and 2O12W are on the air.  (RSGB, Audio bite from YouTube)

BANDSHARING:  THE AMERICAN UHF WOODPECKER STRIKES AGAIN

Its yakety-yak time on the 70 centimeter band near San Diego, California.
This as a new radio system takes to the air on a military base.  Amateur
Radio Newsline's Bruce Tennent, K6PZW, has the rest of the story:

--

Southern California's Fallbrook Amateur Radio Club reports that it
recently began receiving a random ticking interference superimposed over
weak incoming signals on its 440.600 MHz repeater inputs channel.  Club
members have tentatively located the signal as originating at the nearby
Marine Corps Camp Pendleton.

It now appears as if the base has deployed a number of Enhanced Position
Location Reporting System radios, or EPLRS devices that use the entire 420
to 450 MHz band in a spread spectrum mode.  As hams share the 420 to 450
MHz band with the U.S. Government, and the government has priority its
likely that the Fallbrook ham community will likely have to live with the
problem until such time as the devices are turned off, if that ever
occurs.

Hams are secondary users in the 420 to 450 MHz band and must accept any
and all interference from those designated as primary users.  Also, the
amateur community must not in any way interfere with the operations of
those assigned as primary users.  In this case the United States military.


For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bruce Tennant, K6PZW, in Los Angeles.

According to the Southgate News, it's believed that at least two dozen
EPLRS systems are slated for deployment or are already deployed across the
continental United States as well as in Alaska and on Hawaii. (CGC,

RADIO REGULATION:  VANITY CALL SIGN FEE TO INCREASE BY 80 CENTS

The price of a Vanity ham radio callsign is going up.  On July 20th the
FCC announced that the cost of a set of amateur radio vanity call letters
will increase 80 cents to $15 for a 10 year license term.  That works out
to 8 cents a year for anyone applying for or renewing a Vanity ham radio
call.  The new fee goes into affect 30 days after notice of the increase
is published in the Federal Register.  As we go to air, that publication
is still pending.  (FCC)

**

RADIO REGULATION:  FCC PROPOSES RE-EVALUATING ITS FEE SYSTEM

The FCC wants to overhaul its entire regulatory fee system and is asking
for public input on that effort through MD Docket 08-65.

According to the agency, extensive changes have occurred in the
communications marketplace since its current system for assessing and
collecting regulatory fees for all of the entities it regulates was
enacted in 1994.  Commissioner Robert McDowell calls the reform long
overdue, adding that the agency should update its fee structure to ensure
that they are levied not only in a fiscally prudent manner, but in a
nondiscriminatory and competitively neutral way.

Comments to MD Docket 08-65 are due 30 days after publication in the
Federal Register.  What impact such a re-evaluation might have on
regulatory fees imposed on radio amateurs is impossible to assess at this
time.  (FCC, RW)

HAM RADIO IN SPACE:  4 CUBSATS TAKE THEIR FIRST STEPTS TOWARD ORBIT

Japan's HTV-3 cargo vessel carrying five satellites blasted off on an
H-IIB rocket to the International Space Station in the early hours of
Saturday, July 21st.  Onboard were four amateur radio CubeSats, along with
a scientific satellite known as Raiko.  The ham radio birds are the F-1,
We-Wish, FitSat-1 and TechEdSat CubeSats.

By way of background The F-1 CubeSat carries a pair of Yaesu VX-3R
handheld transceivers to provide communications on 145.980 MHz and 437.485
MHz FM using AX.25 packet radio data.

FITSAT-1 is an optical communications experiment that as previously
reported will attempt to write Morse Code across the night sky, although
only when in range of Japan.  It will also transmit CW on 437.250 MHz, FM
AX.25 data on 437.445 MHz and high speed data on 5840.00 MHz.

We-Wish will transmit on 437.505 MHz FM AX.25 data while TechEdSat will
transmit on 437.465 MHz and will also communicate via the Iridium and
Orbcomm satellite phone networks.  This is a first for a CubeSat.

The CubeSats will remain on the International Space Station until
September.  Thats when they will be deployed to orbit by Japan  astronaut
Akihiko Hoshide, KE5DNI, using the ISS robot arm.  And we will have more
ham radio space related news later on in this week's Amateur Radio
Newsline report.  (AMSAT)

ENFORCEMENT:  ALASKA CB OPERATOR ISSUED PROPOSED $12500 FINE

The FCC has issued a $12,500 Notice of Apparent Liability to Monetary
Forfeiture to Glenn S. Yamada, of Kenai, Alaska.  This based on
allegations that he essentially operated his C-B station in a manner that
interfered with international aviation traffic.  Amateur Radio Newsline's
Norm Seeley, KI7UP, has the details:

--

This story goes back to last January.  Thats when the FCC received a
complaint regarding interference to an authorized user on 21.964 MHz in
the aeronautical band.  According to the regulatory agency, the problem
concerned a male subject talking and interfering with the control and
monitoring of air traffic over the North Atlantic.

The FCC's High Frequency Direction Finding Center was called into action.
On January 31, its operators observed a subject matching the details of
the compliant transmitting on 21.965 MHz using the call sign 1600 Alaska.
Of even more interest, the actual operating frequency was 27.025 better
known as CB channel 6.  Direction finding techniques placed the
transmissions were coming from Kenai, Alaska.  Subsequently, an agent from
the FCC's Enforcement Bureau in Anchorage used direction finding
techniques and found the source of the interfering signal to be coming
from the residence of one Glenn S. Yamada.

The agent, accompanied by an officer from the Kenai Police Department,
inspected Yamada's station on February 6th.  At that time the agent found
a non-certificated CB transmitter and a linear amplifier as part of
Yamada's CB station.  During questioning, Yamada admitted to the agent
that the linear amplifier was capable of generating a power output level
of 200 watts.  The agent observed that the transmitter and the linear
amplifier were connected to a transmission cable and ultimately to the
directional antenna in the back of Yamada's residence.  Yamada told the
agent that this was his hobby setup and that he had been operating it for
the last several weeks using the made up call of 1600 Alaska.

Now, in its July 14th finding authorizing the proposed $12,500 fine, the
FCC says that Yamada apparently willfully and repeatedly violated  Section
301 of the Communications Act of 1934 and Sections 95.409(a) and
95.411(a)(1) and (b) of the FCC Rules.  This by operating his CB radio
without requisite Commission authorization.  In simpler terms, it means
that his station equipment was not FCC certified and he was running power
in excess of the maximum allowed on the 11 meter band.

And when it issued the Notice of Apparent Liability, the regulatory agency
also stated that given the public safety concerns of the violations that
it was directed Yamada to submit a statement signed under penalty of
perjury confirming whether he is still engaged in CB operations.  If so,
he is to state whether he is using a certified CB transmitter.  Also, to
certify that he has not attached any linear amplifiers to his CB station."
Yamada must submit this statement to the FCC Office in Anchorage no later
than August 17th.  That's the same day when payment of the $12,500 Notice
of Apparent Liability is also due.

For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Norm Seeley, KI7UP, in Scottsdale,
Arizona.

--

As is usual in these cases, Yamada was given the customary 30 days from
issuance of the proposed fine to file an appeal.  (FCC)

ENFORCEMENT:  FCC PROPOSES A PAIR OF BROADCAST TOWER RELATED FINES

The FCC levied two unrelated fines for tower violations.  In the first
action, the agency says that Equity Communications, licensee of WCMC AM
located in Wildwood, New Jersey failed to enclose its tower in a locked
fence.

In issuing the proposed $17,000 fine, the FCC noted that during an
inspection in 2011, agents with the Philadelphia Enforcement Bureau
determined the tower was in a residential neighborhood but what it called
the remnants of a fence would not restrict access to it.  At a later date
when they re-inspected, the agents found the fence in the same condition.
As such, the FCC has proposed a the to fine for the ongoing infraction.

The other case involves JMK Communications, which was fined $7,000 for not
having a locked fence around the four-tower array for WPWC AM  in
Dumfries, Virginia.  The FCC says that during an inspection in 2011, the
Enforcement Bureau agents found no fencing around the base of one
structure and only partial fencing around the base of the other three.
There was also no perimeter fence around the property, according to the
commission.

In this matter the FCC has proposed a $7,000 fine.  It has also directed
the licensee to submit a sworn statement telling the commission the
broadcaster is now in compliance with the tower regulations.

Both companies were given the customary 30 days from the date the Notices
of Apparent Liability were issued to pay or file a response. (FCC)

ENFORCEMENT:  FCC LEVIES $55000 FINES TO UNLICENSED FLORIDA BROADCASTERS

The FCC issued a total of $55,000 in proposed fines to three men whom it
says operated unlicensed broadcast station in the state of Florida.
Amateur Radio Newsline's Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, is here with more:

--

In the first two cases, the regulatory agency alleges that Michael Downer
and Damian Allen operated an unauthorized station together on the FM
broadcast band in the city of Pompano Beach.  According to the FCC, it
used direction finding techniques to trace a signal to an FM transmitting
antenna located atop the storage room of a commercial property.

The property owner told agents he rented the space to Downer and Allen.
The owner called Downer and handed the phone to an agent.  Shortly
thereafter the other renter, Damian Allen, came and removed the equipment.

Now its tike to pay the piper.  While the base fine for operating an
unauthorized station is $10,000 per person, the FCC proposed a $20,000
fine for Downer and Allen each.  This is because the commission had
previously issued several Notices of Unlicensed Operation to both men for
operating unlicensed stations from other Florida locations.  The FCC says
that the fact that they continued operating constitutes a deliberate
disregard for the commission's rules.

In the third case, the commission has proposed a $15,000 fine against
McArthur Bussey.  This for operating an unlicensed station on 89.1 MHz in
the city of Fort Lauderdale.

In this matter the agents not only traced the signal to a residence leased
by Bussey but also found a fan page on Facebook ad for the illegal station
and a picture that matched Bussey's Florida driver's license photo.  The
domain name for a website: www.891radio.net, was found to be registered to
Bussey's residence.

Bussey's fine was also over the $10,000 base amount because the Miami
Office of the Enforcement Bureau had previously issued a Notice of
Unlicensed Operation to him for operating an unlicensed station on the
same frequency from a different Florida location.

For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, in the
newsroom in Los Angeles.

--

All three have the customary 30 days from the date the fines were proposed
to pay them or to file appeals.  (FCC)

HAM HAPPENINGS:  PERMANENT AMATEUR STATION AT THE OLD BETHANY OHIO VOA
RELAY STATION

Ohio's West Chester Amateur Radio Club has set up a working ham radio
station at the closed down Voice of America relay station in Bethany Ohio.
 A temporary, single position has been activated in the VOA building.  It
is connected to a temporary trailer mounted beam antenna.

The Bethany site is located not far from Dayton Ohio.  According to the
club website, more funding is needed to complete the project.  Information
about this project can be found on-line at www.wc8voa.org.  The history of
the Voice of America Bethany Relay Station is at www.voamuseum.org.

HAM HAPPENINGS:  EMCOMM EAST POSTPONED TO 2013

The EmComm East emergency communications conference will not be held in
2012.  According to an announcement from the Board of Directors for Monroe
County ARES which hosts the event, they have decided to postpone EmComm
East until the fall 2013 due to circumstances beyond their control..

According to their news release the group is running into a fist-full of
scheduling conflicts that are making it difficult to plan an emergency
communications conference that is of the same quality as the past
conferences that they have hosted in years past.  This is because they
have several competing events in the region that will significantly take
away from normal attendance.  Also their call for programs did not have
enough responses to fill all of the slots needed for this year's
conference.

Monroe County New York ARES says that it will be announcing its plans for
2013 early next January.  If you have any questions, do not hesitate to
contact them by e-mail to info (at) emcommeast (dot) org or simply keep an
eye on www.emcommeast.org for updates.  (Monroe County ARES Inc.)

CHANGING OF THE GUARD:  LEGENDARY HAWAII VHF - UHF EXPERIMENTER LAID TO
REST IN CALIFORNIA

Hawaii's legendary VHF/UHF experimenter Paul Lieb, KH6HME, has been laid
to rest following a Catholic Mass on Saturday, July 21st.  The service was
attended by Lieb's family, friends, and several dozen ham radio operators.
 Many of the latter were members of California's San Bernardino Microwave
Society of which Lieb was a long time member.  A number of the radio
amateurs drove many hours to attend the service.

According to his longtime friend Gordon West, WB6NOA, Lieb's ham radio
activities played a major part in the memorial service.  This included the
front cover of a written remembrance program showing KH6HME at the Mona
Loa beacon site door that was etched with visiting ham radio call signs.
Below his name was his KH6HME call.

At the end of the Mass, each of the 6 candles surrounding Lieb were
extinguished one-by-one.  West says that this signified the end of an era
when Paul would head for the 8200 foot site on the Mona Loa Volcano.  From
there he would switch from beacon mode to voice and CW , and complete the
2500 mile path on every VHF and UHF band from 6 meters up through 5 GHz .

KH6HME was buried at the Holy Sepulcher Cemetery in Orange, California.
West says that the very last line of the memorial program read - and we
quote:  "He will never be forgotten, and his beacon will continue to
delight and amaze us all.  73 Paul. "

As reported last week, Paul Lieb, KH6HME passed away on Sunday night July
15th while visiting his sister and other relatives on the U.S. mainland.

HAM RADIO IN SPACE:  BAOFENG REPEATER TO THE EDGE OF SPACE

Spanish radio hams have used two low cost handheld FM transceivers to
build a cross-band repeater which they then launched to the edge of space
on a high altitude balloon.  The radios used in the experiment were
identified as Luther TL-44 but appear identical to the popular Baofeng
UV-3R available on E-Bay from many online dealers world-wide at a cost of
between $30 to $45 each.

The balloon flight lasted 2 hours 44 minutes during which 179 contacts
were made.  The furthest was over a distance of 670 km.  You can read the

ON THE AIR:  WORK PROGRESSES ON NEW TRANS-ATLANTIC 2 METER BEACON

A new trans-Atlantic 2 meter propagation beacon is well on its way to
becoming a reality.  RSGB news reader Jeremy Boot, G4NJH, has the latest:

--

Brian, WA1ZMS, is making the final preparations to ship the GB3WGI 144MHz
transatlantic beacon transmitter over to Northern Ireland.

Thanks to the kind donation of antenna parts and clamps from G4CQM at
Powabeam Antennas, beacon keeper Gordon, GI6ATZ, is in the process of
building the antenna system for the beacon, and installing the emergency
shutdown system. It is hoped to have the beacon up and running before the
end of the year.

Im Jeramy Boot, G4NJH, in Nottingham.

THAT FINAL ITEMS:  WIND FARMS MAY CONTRIBUTE TO CLIMATE WARMING

And finally this week, word that's what some call green power might not be
so green after all.  Amateur Radio Newsline's Cheryl Lasek, K9BIK, reprts:

--

Research in the United States has shown that large wind turbine farms used
to generate so-called green power might have a warming effect on the local
climate, and there-by casting a shadow over the long-term sustainability
of wind power.

Its been long believed that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from
burning fossil fuels contribute to the so-called global warming effect.
Some scientists believe this could lead to the melting of glaciers, sea
level rise, crop failure and other devastating effects.  So in an effort
to cut such emissions, many nations are moving towards cleaner energy
sources such as wind power.

Now, researchers at the State University of New York at Albany have
analyzed over the period 2003 to 2011 the satellite data of areas around
large wind farms in Texas, where four of the world's largest farms are
located,.  The results, published in the journal Nature Climate Change,
showed a warming trend of up to 0.72 degrees Celsius per decade in areas
over the farms.  This as compared with nearby regions without the farms.

The study attributed this warming primarily to wind farms.  It says that
the temperature change could be due to the effects of the energy expelled
by farms and the movement and turbulence generated by turbine rotors.  It
concluded that these changes, if spatially large enough, may have
noticeable impacts on local to regional weather and climate.  That said,
the researchers say that more studies are needed at different locations
and for longer periods, before any firm conclusions could be drawn.

Previous research in 2010 by other U.S. scientists found wind farms could
make the nights warmer and days cooler in their immediate vicinity, but
those effects could be minimized by changing turbines rotor design or by
building the farms in areas with high natural climatic turbulence.

For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Cheryl Lasek, K9BIK, in Zion,
Illinois.

--

According to the Global Wind Energy Council in 2011 the world's wind farms
had the capacity to produce 238 gigawatts of electricity at any one time.
That was a 21 percent rise over 2010 and capacity and is expected to reach
nearly 500 gigawatt by the end of 2016 as more, and bigger wind farms are
built.  More on this story is on-line at
