RESTRUCTURING: A LOOK AT THE UPCOMING WRC 2015
A proposed permanent secondary allocation to the amateur service at or
near 5 MHz is among agenda items for the World Radiocommunication
Conference in 2015. Amateur Radio Newsline's Norm Seeley, KI7UP, has the
details:
--
There are numerous items on the 2015 World Radiocommunications meeting
agenda, as spelled out at the end of the recently concluded 2012
conference. One is the proposal for a possible new allocation to the
amateur service on a secondary basis within the band 5.250 to 5.450 MHz.
The International Amateur Radio Union has described such an allocation as
being among the best for hams to use to provide around the clock emergency
communications. So far, little in the way of objections has been heard in
public.
According to the publication Radio World, it is the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration that coordinates United
States participation in the WRC conferences, doing so though a number of
government departments and agencies are involved. According to N-T-I-A's
website, the next conference will consider spectrum requirements for uses
ranging from mobile service allocations for broadband to controlling
unmanned aircraft from space.
These conferences are held by the International Telecommunication Union
every few years to talk about international radio regulations. An FCC
advisory group will start to meet this month in preparation for the next
one. The commission also has set up a website with information about
WRC-15. While WRC-15 may seem far away, the planning for it is already
getting underway.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm norm Seeley, KI7UP, in Scottsdale,
Arizona.

Another item of interest on the WRC 15 agenda is the feasibility of
achieving a continuous reference time-scale. This either by the
modification of coordinated universal time or some other method. (RW)

RADIO RULES: FCC DENIES PETITION ASKING FOR EMERGENCY CALLING FREQUENCY
ON 2 METERS
Don't hold your breath waiting for the FCC to create a nationwide
emergency calling frequency on 2 meters or any other Amateur Service band.
That's because in denying a petition filed by Bryan Boyle, WB0YLE, of
Morrisville, Pennsylvania, and Jim Dixon, WB6NIL, of Alhambra, California,
the regulatory agency basically said that it's not necessary to have such
a frequency cast in stone in the Part 97 rules. Amateur Radio Newsline's
Heather Butera-Howell, KB3TZD, has the details:
--
Bryan Boyle, WB0YLE, and Jim Dixon, WB6NIL had jointly filed a rule making
request that asked the FCC to designate 146.55 MHz in the 2 meter band as
a non-exclusive nationwide Amateur Radio Service emergency communications
FM channel. In their petition the pair noted that other services, such as
Citizens Band Radio, the Aviation Service and the Maritime Service have
specific channels set aside for emergency communications. They argued
that a similar designated channel in the Amateur Service could serve the
same purpose.
But in its denial order dated July 31st the FCC claimed that Dixon and
Boyle had not shown that a problem existed that would be addressed by
designating a nationwide Amateur Service emergency calling frequency. To
the contrary, the regulatory agency noted that the rules as they now stand
provide the Amateur Service with what it calls the flexibility to provide
emergency communications in a way that takes into account frequency
availability and other local conditions.
The FCC observed that under the current Amateur Service rules that
licensed operators can use multiple channels on the same or different
amateur bands if needed for an event. They can also use multiple channels
in the same band when multiple, but different events occur.
Translated into plain English, what the Commission is saying is that
plenty of spectrum exists on 2 meters and other ham radio bands for radio
amateurs to provide emergency communications services. This, without the
regulatory agency stating that a given frequency is designated for that
purpose.
The agency also noted that the Boyle and Dixon proposal for the channel to
be a non-exclusive nationwide is essentially no different from the way
things are right now. This is because all Amateur Service frequencies are
already shared and as such they may be used for providing emergency
communications as the need arises. If hams in a given region or even
nationwide want to create such designated channels on a voluntary basis
that the Amateur Radio community already has the authority to do so.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Heather Butera-Howell, KB3TZD, near
Berwick, Pennsylvania.
--
The bottom line. The FCC seems to be saying that if such a non-exclusive
nationwide emergency calling frequency is needed, nothing in the Part 97
rules prevents the amateur community from voluntarily establishing such
channels, be it on 2 meters or for that matter, any other Amateur Service
band. (FCC)

RESTRUCTURING: WILL SOUTH AFRICAS NEW ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AMENDMENT
BILL AFFECT AMATEUR RADIO
The South African Department of Communications is planning to create
another body parallel to its Independent Communications Authority of South
Africa or ICASA. This, to take over the singular duty of spectrum
management.
This move comes as one of the many changes proposed in the Electronic
Communications Amendment Bill of 2012. That is a measure that among other
things calls for the establishment of a new Spectrum Management Agency
within the portfolio of the Minister of Communications with the overall
responsibility for the country's electromagnetic spectrum.
Along with the proposed law comes an explanatory document. It states that
the Minister of Communications will act as the custodian of the spectrum
on behalf of the people of South Africa as well as representing that
nation before the International Telecommunications Union. This includes
the allocation of the radio frequency spectrum to various radio
communication services including amateur radio. The minister will also be
responsible for all international spectrum matters pertaining to South
Africa, including Regional and sub-Regional spectrum planning, all cases
concerning international harmful interference and international frequency
coordination.
The South Africa Radio League Council says that it is currently studying
the draft bill to see what impact it might have on that nations amateur
radio service. South African radio amateurs are invited to send comments
to the South Africa Radio League by August 15th. Please address them to
secretary (at) sarl (dot) org (dot) za.

RADIO LAW: EUROPEAN UNION ACCEPTS EMC DIRECTIVE THAT PROTECTS HAMS
It appears as if ham radio operators in the European Union are safe from
being treated as sources of massive radio frequency interference. On July
10th the Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee of the
European Parliament voted on a the new version of the an Electromagnetic
Compatibility directive containing an amendment fostered by Germany's
Deutscher Amateur Radio Club and the Political Relations Committee of the
International Amateur Radio Union to protect the rights of radio amateurs.
The original draft amendment to the definition of an "electromagnetic
disturbance" could in the worst case have led to the signal of an amateur
station being treated as an annoyance or intrusion. (Southgate)

HAM RADIO IN SPACE: NEW 2 METER RADIO TO LAUNCH TO THE ISS
A new VHF ham radio system will soon be headed to the International Space
Station. At the July 17 ARISS meeting Kenneth Ransom, N5VHO, reported
that his group is in the final stages of preparing the flight
certification for of the replacement hardware for the degraded Ericsson 2
meter radio. That rig is part of the 2nd ISS amateur radio station that
is located in the Columbus module.
According to Ransom, they had been hoping to launch of the equipment on
flight 33-S on December 5th. Now however comes word that the new radio
could be carried aloft ob flight 49-P that's slated to launch on November
1st. As such, Ransom's group is trying to finish the certification
process in time for this earlier flight option.
The degraded Ericsson VHF radio may be returned on flight 32-S in October.
The team is very interested in trying to determine what the problem has
been with this particular piece of gear. And we will have more space
related ham radio news later on in this weeks Amateur Radio Newsline
report. (ARISS)

ENFORCEMENT: UNLICENSED OREGON OPERATOR FINED $15000
The FCC has issued a Notice of Apparent Liability in the amout of $15,000
to Joshua McMurchie of Prineville, Oregon. This for his alleged operation
of a an unauthorized station on 97.9 MHz.
Back in 2011 agents from the FCC's Portland Office of its Enforcement
Bureau responded to a complaint and traced the signal to McMurchie's home.
Local law enforcement officers accompanied the FCC agents and left a
Notice of Unlicensed Operation with another resident of the house and also
mailed a notice as a backup. According to the FCC McMurchie signed for
the latter notice in October 2011,
This past May, the FCC's Portland Enforcement Bureau received another
complaint about an illegal station on 97.9 MHz. Both the FCC and
Prineville Police officers went to his home, were granted admittance and
found a transmitter broadcasting at that location. The FCC says that
McMurchie admitted he operated the station and offered to surrender his
equipment to the agents.
Now the FCC has issued a proposed penalty. In reaching its decision, the
agency boted that the base fine for operating an illegal station is
$10,000. However the commission fined McMurchie $15,000 because of his
repeated violations. He too has the customary 30 days from receipt of the
notice to pay the proposed fine or to file an appeal. (FCC)

ENFORCEMENT: FCC FINES CALIFORNIA CB OPERATOR $7000 FOR REFUSAL TO PERMIT
STATION INSPECTION
The FCC has affirmed a $7000 fine issued to a California Citizens Radio
operator. This after he refused to let the FCC inspect his station on
several occasions. Amateur Radio Newsline's Bruce Tennant, K6PZW, is here
with the details:
--
This case dates back to March 19, 2010. That's when agents from the San
Francisco FCC Office responded to a complaint of interference to the radio
communication system equipment of the Merced County Fire Department. The
agents then monitored the radio transmissions on frequency 27.165 MHz and
used radio direction finding techniques to locate the source of the signal
associated with the interference to a CB radio station operating from an
Ira Jones' residence in Merced.
The agents approached Jones, identified themselves and told him about the
interference. He denied being the source of the interference. They then
asked to inspect Jones CB radio station but he refused.
The scenario was basically repeated on August 27th, 2010 when FCC agents,
this time accompanied by officers of the Merced Police Department again
visited Jones residence. Once again they were refused admittance. On both
occasions the FCC issue Jones written warning notices that he refused to
accept.
On March 10, 2011, the San Francisco Office issued a Notice of Apparent
Liability for Monetary Forfeiture in the amount of $7,000 to Jones for
failing to allow authorized FCC personnel to inspect his CB radio station.
Jones responded to the N-A-L on March 30th. At that time he argued that he
has not seen the complaints of the alleged the interference, that he did
not receive the described warnings from the San Francisco agents, and that
the agents did not produce valid identification cards.
But the FCC was not persuaded by any of Jones claims. On July 27th it
affirmed the Forfeiture Order that gives Jones the customary 30 days to
pay the $7000 fine or to file a further appeal.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bruce Tennant, K6PZW, in Los Angeles.
--
This is the second time in recent weeks that an 11 meter C-B operator has
been fined in relation to radio gear that in some way was found to
interfere with some form of public service communications. In this case
the fine is based not on the interference caused by the C-B operators
station but rather because he refused an order from the FCC to inspect it.

ENFORCEMENT: UNLICENSED OPERATOR CAUGHT ON VK REPEATER
An unlicensed operator who haunted an Australian repeater has been caught.
About three weeks ago several members of a radio club were contacted by
what appeared to be a person operating with a phony call over the
Redcliffe repeater. The operator was using the call sign VK4NFL. It did
not take very long for that unidentified operator to get caught after
authorities became involved.
Australia's Communications and Media Authority or A-C-M-A located the
station and the matter is now in the hands of the Commonwealth legal
authorities. It appears as though they do not waste very much time with
unlicensed violators like this one, down-under. (WIA)

RADIO BUSINESS: HEATHKIT FILES FOR BANKRUPTCY
The Herald-Palladium newspaper says that the remnants of the famed
Heathkit Company that once employed up to 1,800 people in St. Joseph
Township, Michigan, is now on the auction block.
Owner Don Desrochers told the paper that the company, which was down to
half a dozen employees at the end, defaulted on its lease and has filed
for bankruptcy.
The organization was last known as Heathkit Educational Systems.
Desrochers told the Herald-Palladium that this business was primarily
dependant on federal and state funding for schools. Unfortunately,
spending in education continued to drop and as such it was economically
unfeasible to continue operating.
Founded in 1926 as an aircraft company, Heathkit shifted its focus to
electronics after World War II when it bought surplus electronic parts to
build kits. Heathkit left the kit business in 1992, focusing on
educational materials, then announced it was getting back into the kit
business in 2011. According to Desrochers it was losing the educational
business faster than it could grow the electronics business, which was not
sustainable.

RADIO TECHNOLOGY: AN FDMDV OPEN SOURCE 1400 BPS HF MODEM
David Rowe, VK5DGR, has made available open source software for a 1400 bps
High Frequency FDMRV modem.
FDMDV stands for Frequency Division Multiplexed Digital Voice and is
described as basically being a grouping of slow modems running in
parallel. For example FDMDV has 14 carriers spaced 75 Hz apart, each
running at 50 symbols a second. Due to multipath problems on the High
Frequency bands this approach is claimed to work better than one carrier
running at 700 symbols per second.
One of the applications of this modem technology will be Digital Voice
since it offers fast sync, no multi-second training sequences, the ability
to recover quickly after a fade, and no automatic re-transmit of "bad"
packets.
Those interested in experimenting with HF digital voice using this
technology can find further information and source code at

NAMES IN THE NEWS: KA3HDO RETURNS TO AMSAT AS VP OF HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT
Frank Bauer, KA3HDO, has returned to AMSAT North America as Vice President
for Human Spaceflight programs. Bauer stepped down from this position in
May 2009 due to increasing work responsibilities at NASA. At the time he
was the Chief Engineer for the Exploration Systems Mission Directorate at
NASA Headquarters.
Bauer retired from NASA in September 2011. but has been unable to fully
support ARISS or other human spaceflight pursuits. This is due to a
post-retirement one year "cooling off" period with NASA and with the
International Space Agencies. That period ends in about a month.
The Vice President for Human Spaceflight is a position that is appointed
by the AMSAT President. It provides leadership and guidance to the AMSAT
President, BoD and executives on AMSAT's Human Spaceflight Operations and
Development. (AMSAT)

BEACON NEWS: THE KH6HME BEACONS ARE WELCOME TO STAY ON MONA LOA
The late Paul Lieb, KH6HME's beacon system located at the 8200 foot of
Hawaii's Mona Loa Volcano in Hawaii is welcome by the site manager to
continue to operate from that location.
According to Don Mussell, the KH6HME beacons are located in the building
that was formerly under the control of KGMB-TV. Over the past few years
that site was taken over by Hawaii Public Radio, and put under Mussell's
supervision.
Mussell says that Hawaii Public Radio is happy to have the beacons located
at the site and will leave the operation and maintenance to a ham radio
club that also operates equipment inside the building. It
will be up to them to decide if the beacon operation will continue. (Don

EMERGING TECHNOLOGY: NANO COAX CABLES AND THEIR USES
Nano technology is in the news once again. This time as a way to store
energy. Amateur Radio Newsline's Don Wilbanks, AE5DW, has more:
--
With all the research on nano-technology, perhaps we shouldn't be
surprised that one of the latest involves coaxial cables on a nano-scale.
The main interest in the nano-coaxial cable is as an energy storage device
due to the very high capacitance between the inner and outer conductor. A
study conduced at Rice University found that the capacitance of the
nano-cable is at least 10 times greater than would be predicted with
classical electrostatics. The capacitance of the new nano-cable is up to
143 microfarads per centimeter-squared.
Study co-author Jun Lou notes that for energy storage, he can envision a
large scale energy storage device consisting of millions of tiny
nano-cables side by side in large areas. Lou also says that this cable
might also be used as a transmission line for radio frequency signals at
the nano scale. This could be useful as a fundamental building block in
micro and nano sized electromechanical systems like lab-on-a-chip devices.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Don Wilbanks, AE5DW.

RADIOSPORTS: CQ TO REVAMP PUBLICATION SCHEDULE FOR CONTEST RESULTS
In contesting news, CQ magazine says that it will embark on a major
reorganization of its editorial content in order to publish contest
results significantly sooner. According to Editor Rich Moseson, W2VU, on
average, contest results will appear four months sooner than at present.
This change has been made possible by the fact that the majority of
contest entrants submit their logs online along with advancements in
technology for log-checking. Also assisting are the earlier log
submission deadlines announced last month and advances in publishing
technology.
The new schedule will be phased in over the course of 2013 and will be
fully in place by 2014. A complete calendar of contest results issues for
2013 and 2014 will be posted on the CQ website at www dot cq-amateur-radio

THAT FINAL ITEM: THE CASE OF THE VANISHED VENTURA CALIFORNIA UNLICENSED
BRIADCAST STATION
And finally this week the story of the vanishing unlicensed broadcaster in
the city of Ventura, California. Did he get scared off the air or did he
simply get tired of playing a want-to-be broadcaster, Amateur Radio
Newsline's Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, has what we know about this interesting
here and gone station:
--
Actually, what we know comes by way of Bob Gonsett, W6VR, and his CGC
Communicator broadcast industry electronic newsletter. According to Bob,
this past July 11th a complaint was filed with the FCC field office in Los
Angeles concerning a n unlicensed station on 89.7 MHz reportedly operating
from Channel Drive in the coastal city of Ventura, California. The
station referred to itself as "KSSR... The
People's Radio." It even had its own business card and Website.
But on July 25th the CGC Communicator received word that the station had
vanished from the airwaves and has shut down their Website. In fact the
last Web update was reported on July 24th and said - quote -- "It was nice
while it lasted."
According to the CGC Communicator, one of the people involved with the
complaint isn't sure if the FCC paid the station a visit, or if the
broadcaster saw his vehicle pass by in front of the alleged station
location with an antenna in the middle of the vehicle roof and decided to
shut it down before the FCC showed up. Either way, the unlicensed
broadcaster is gone, at least for now.
So where does this all lead? According to the CGC Newsletter, for many
the temptation to find such an unlicensed station is almost overwhelming.
It is something most can do with simple direction finding equipment.
That's fine if it can be done secretly. The problem with obvious and
overt DFing is that the unlicensed station may shut down prematurely only
to surface again elsewhere.
The CGC Communicator says that in dealing with unlicensed broadcasters
that there is a definite advantage in letting the FCC handle these cases
from start to finish. The CGC Communicator notes that once a federal case
is opened, the unlicensed station is more likely to stay off the air and
that means a lot less work for everyone involved.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, not all that
far from Ventura in the Newsroom in Los Angeles.

By the way, according to Bob Gonsett, W6VR, the real KSSR-FM is located in
the city of Santa Rosa, California and operates on 95.9 MHz. (CGC
