RADIO COMPATIBILITY: NEW ZEALAND ATV REPEATER TO TEST COMPATABILITY WITH
COMMERCIAL BROADCASTING
In what may be a first anywhere world-wide, a New Zealand amateur radio
service digital ATV repeater has been given a chance to test its
compatibility with commercial broadcasters. Amateur Radio Newsline's Jim
Meachen, ZL2BHF, reports from down-under:
--
New Zealand Radio Spectrum Management or RSM has granted the first Digital
Amateur TV License to NZART Branch 74, the Wellington VHF Group, for use
at its main station located on Mount Belmont, in Wellington.
The main features of License 236831 are: Digital TV Channel 25 (DTV25);
502 MHz to 510 MHz; DVB-T format; 7.7 MHz emission bandwidth; 100 Watts
mean effective isotropic radiated power and horizontal polarization
The license is valid for an initial period of 6 months, from 1st January
2013 to 30th June 2013.
The license permits DATV transmissions for the purpose of testing
compatibility with services on the adjacent frequencies and requires the
production of a comprehensive report to RSM.
The DTV25 channel is, in effect, the guard band between Communications
services below 502 MHz and Digital TV Broadcasts above 510 MHz (DTV26 and
above).
It is hoped that these tests will, once again, demonstrate the engineering
capabilities of Radio Amateurs and lead the way to the granting of DATV
licenses throughout New Zealand.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Jim Meachen, ZL2BHF, in Nelson, New
Zealand.

If the test proves successful it holds the potential of opening up a new
concept in channel sharing between amateur radio and other
telecommunications services. (ZL2BHF)

RADIO LAW: FOLLOW-UP - US SAYS NO TO DUBAI INTERNET TREATY
A follow-up to last weeks story regarding that confrontational meeting in
Dubai to discuss the future of the Internet. As the gathering drew to a
close the United States joined 20 other counties in refusing to sign a
treaty that they say will harm Internet freedom.
The final proposal was forged at an international communications
conference that ended Friday, December 14th. A major problem of the
treaty produced by the 193 nation International Telecommunications Union
was its endorsement of greater control over the Internet by governments.
United States Ambassador Terry Kramer said that rejecting the treaty was
an obvious direction for the U.S. delegation to take. He told the media
that there were too many concerns that were problematic for the nation.
AS reported last week, one issue troubling the United States is language
extending the treaty to Internet Service Providers and private network
operators, as well as governments. The United States believes this would
invite greater government control of the Internet. The same is true of
provisions in the treaty to fight cybercrime. According to the U.S.
delegation the broad powers designed to increase network security could
too easily be abused by governments.
The chair of the World Conference on International Communications is
Mohamed Nasser Al-Ghanim. He disagreed with the dissenting countries
noting that their concerns are addressed in the text. Al-Ghanim said that
special provisions were written into the treaty to say that content is
excluded and that he Internet will continue to express freedom of thought
as it has.
If the Dubai conference showed anything, it's that a major schism exists
between the developed nations and much of the ITU over Internet issues.
Some believe this could result in a second, more strictly regulated
Internet emerging, although experts acknowledge that would be difficult to
actually create.
The final version of the treaty goes into effect in 2015, but without the
signatures of many of the Internet super powers, its effect is likely to
be minimal at best. (Various Internet news sources)

RESTERUCTURING: DUTCH MILITARY STILL INSIST ON 915 MHZ
With almost 42 CEPT nations reporting that 915 to 921 MHz is empty, or
emptying, it is hoped the band will soon be made available for Short Range
Devices or SRD's.
An article by Bill Ray in UK newspaper The Register implies that the Dutch
military appear to be just about the only obstacle to 915 to 921 MHz being
available for Short Range Devices use on a world-wide basis.
To date there has been no globally available license exempt spectrum for
Short Range Devices available between 42 MHz and 2.4 GHz. In some
countries such as the United Kingdom, spectrum at 433 to 435 MHz has been
used as a stopgap move. However this has caused considerable interference
to other existing licensed services. (UK Register, Southgate)

RADIO FROM SPACE: NORTH KOREA SATELLITE ATTAINS ORBIT BUT NOBODY HAS HEARD
IT TRANSMIT
North Korea appears to have successfully launched a satellite into space
through the use of its Unha 3 satellite launcher, but may have lost
control over the bird soon after it attained orbit.
As reported by several news outlets, according to U.S. officials, the
satellite which was launched by North Korea on Wednesday, December 12th is
now believed to tumbling out of control in an uncontrolled orbit and
nobody is quite sure what the spacecraft's purpose or capabilities are.
North Korea lofted the spacecraft on the long-range rocket from its Sohae
Satellite Launch Station on the nation's northwest coast. The launch was
detected by United States missile warning systems. NORAD, the North
American Aerospace Defense Command said the Unha-3 rocket's first stage
fell into the Yellow Sea, while the second stage fell into the Philippine
Sea. It went on to state that the missile deployed an object that
appeared to achieve orbit.
According to the ITU the North Koreans have so far not specified the type
or format of the data or video transmissions it plans to make through the
satellite although said it expects the transmissions to continue for up to
2 years. Currently the only claim from North Korea is that the bird is
transmitting music on either 470 or 479 MHz but so far no monitoring
stations have reported hearing this new bird or its sound. Similar claims
were made in 1998 for another North Korean orbital launch attempt that is
believed to have failed. (Space.com and various news sources)

HAM RADIO NEAR SPACE: END OF THE WORLD TRANSATLANTIC HIGH ALTITUDE
BALLOON PREMATURELY BURSTS
The transatlantic crossing attempt by an amateur radio balloon carrying an
18 MHz PSK beacon ended over the coast of Mississippi when the balloon
prematurely burst.
The ham radio balloon called BLT-32 carried a PSK 31 transmitter on 18.100
MHz. It was due to be launched late Saturday, December 15th from near
Sugarland, Texas with its destination aimed at Europe. According to
reports it only made it a few hundred miles.
The South Texas Balloon Launch Team had joined the N0D End of the World
Special Event with the launch its high altitude 'floater' balloon with
hope of it reaching Europe before the End of the World took place as
described in one Mayan calendar. And in keeping with the theme of the
event the beacons and APRS tracker on the balloon were to use the N0D call
sign. N0D meaning Now Zero-Days. And it was a case of Now Zero-Days for
this ham radio balloon flight.
As reported last week a similar ham radio floater balloon launched by a
group in Northern California dis make it across both the United States and
the Atlantic Ocean before descending in Morocco. (Southgate)

ENFORCEMENT: UK REGULATOR OFCOM SUPPORTS INVALIDATED EXAM
The United Kingdom's Radio Communications Foundation or RCF has announced
that telecommunications regulator Ofcom has supported its decision to
disallow an amateur radio examination in Northern Ireland.
According to a statement on the RCF, the Ofcom findings were that there is
no hard evidence of wrong doing by the club or candidates but nevertheless
the examination results were considered unsafe. Also that the suspension
of the club concerned from running examinations was appropriate in the
circumstances but it is now free to resume this activity.
The Radio Communications Foundation has offered a free re test to both of
the candidates whose exam was invalidated. (Southgate)

ENFORCEMENT: FCC AFFIRMS $16000 FINE FOR OUT OF BAND OPERATION
Back in the USA, the FCC has affirmed a $16,000 fine issued to a radio
amateur for his alleged operating on a frequency reserved for government
use only. We have the details in this report:
--
Recipient of the monetary forfeiture order is Joaquim Barbosa, N2KBJ, of
Elizabeth, New Jersey, whom the FCC says operated a transmitter on the
frequency 296.550 MHz without Commission authorization.
In his own defense Barbosa who holds an Extra class license, filed a
response to the original Notice of Apparent Liability. In it he admitted
to operating a radio transceiver on the frequency 296.550 MHz but
contended that that cancellation or a substantial reduction of the then
proposed $20,000 forfeiture is warranted nonetheless for several reasons.
First that he reasonably believed that he had authority to operate on the
frequency 296.550 MHz. Second, that his constitutional rights had been
violated. Third that the unlicensed operation did not cause harm or
interference. Forth that the forfeiture amount is not supported by case
precedent and lastly that there are other factors such as his cooperation
with the investigation, inability to pay, and prior history of overall
compliance with the rules.
But the FCC bought only one of Barbosa's arguments. In issuing its final
order it agreed that a reduction of the forfeiture amount was warranted
based on its review of the record and finding that Barbosa, prior to this
investigation, has a history of overall compliance with the Commission's
rules. So after consideration of the entire record including Barbosa's
response to the initial Notice of Apparent Liability that it was going to
knock $4000 of the now affirmed fine and reduce it to the $16000 level.
For the amateur radio Newsline I'm Heather Embee, KB3TZD, near Berwick,
Pennsylvania.
--
As this is now an affirmed fine, Barbosa was given only until close of
business on December 31st to pay it or the case may be referred to the
U.S. Department of Justice for enforcement of the forfeiture pursuant to
Section 504(a) of the Communications Act. (FCC)

ENFORCEMENT: FCC REDUCES FINE ISSUED TO NY UNLICENSED BROADCASTER
The FCC has issued a Memorandum Opinion and Order that in part grants and
in part denies a Petition for Reconsideration filed by Dexter Blake of Mt.
Vernon, New York. This in regard to a $10,000 Forfeiture Order issued to
him for willfully and repeatedly operating an unlicensed radio broadcast
station.
On March 3, 2009, the Enforcement Bureau's New York Office issued a Notice
of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture in the amount of $10,000 to Blake for
operating an unlicensed broadcast station on the frequency 101.5 MHz in
Mount Vernon, New York. Blake did not file a response to the proposed
fine. As a result on July 22, 2010, the Enforcement Bureau issued a
Forfeiture Order affirming the findings in the Notice of Apparent
Liability and assessing the $10,000 forfeiture.
That apparently got Blake's attention after which he filed his petition
for reconsideration. In it, Blake admits to having operated the
unlicensed station, but claims that cancellation is warranted because the
individual from whom he received the equipment did not advise him that he
needed an FCC license. In addition, he requested a reduction or
cancellation of the forfeiture based on his inability to pay.
Now, after what it calls a careful review the FCC issued its decision on
December 13th. In it, the agency said that although Blake concedes
operating an unlicensed radio station that it is a violation of Section of
the 301 of the Communications Act. Therefore it declines to cancel the
forfeiture on this basis. However it does agree with Blake that the
$10,000 amount would constitute a financial hardship and as such has
lowered the fine to $1700.
Blake was given 30 days to pay the reduced fine or the case may be
referred to the U.S. Department of Justice for further enforcement.

RADIO LAW: FCC SAYS HAWAIIAN CABLE OPS MUST CARRY KLEI TV
The FCC says that two cable television stations in Hawaii must carry a
particular station even though neither wants to. Amateur Radio Newsline's
Don Wilbanks, AE5DW, has the rest of the story:
--
The FCC has denied a request by Oceanic Time Warner Cable and Hawaiian
Telcom Services Company asking that they not carry KLEI TV on their
respective systems. The station, under new ownership since 2011, asked
for carriage, but the operators said no so KLEI then filed a must-carry
complaint.
In part, the FCC agreed with the cable operators that the station could
not argue historical carriage as neither had been carrying the station
before it was bought in 2011. That's when the new owners sought carriage
or that it was delivering an over-the-air signal to any of the communities
it sought cable carriage in. Those are two of the four tests for cable TV
carriage.
But in this case the FCC took a different view. It said the absence of
those two points was not sufficient to deny the station's request. The
agency said that the unique characteristics of the Hawaiian market and
KLEI's strong lineup of local programming of relevance to the inhabitants
of Hawaii County and to all Hawaiians. Also that it's foreign language
programming targeted at special groups and residents, persuaded it to
grant the carriage complaint.
Hawaiian Telcom Services Company had said that if it carried KLEI, it
should not have to carry it on channel 6 in Honolulu. This is because it
was already carrying station KBFD there. The FCC rejected that request as
well. I t pointed out that it has clarified very recently that a digital
station, generally speaking, is entitled to be carried on its former
analog channel number. In this case KLEI was channel 6 and KBFD was 32.
I'm Don Wilbanks, AE5DW.

At airtime its not known if either the Hawaiian Telcom Services Company or
Oceanic Time Warner Cable plan to file an appeal. (FCC. B&C)

RADIO HAPPENINGS: CRICKET CAM COMING DOWN-UNDER
FOX Sports reportedly will take broadcasting of cricket competition in
Australia to a new level this summer. This with pictures to be broadcast
from micro size cameras installed in helmets worn by batsmen and wicket
keepers.
According to the WIA News, the equipment consists of a High Definition
visor-mounted camera and transmitter with batteries on the rear strap.
The additional weight on the helmet is only 250 grams, or about the weight
of a bar of soap.
The can be fitted to any player's helmet during the game. Fox Sports
believes it will be the first camera attached to a player during a Cricket
match at this level. The technology is to be officially introduced in the
Big Bash Twenty tournament.
For those unfamiliar with Cricket, it is a baseball like game played
between two teams of 11 players. One team bats, trying to score as many
runs as possible while the other team fields, trying to dismiss the
batsmen and limit the runs scored by the batting team. The game is most
popular in Australia, England, the Indian sub-continent, the West Indies
and Southern Africa. (WIA News)

THE CHANGING OF THE GUARD: RADIO PIONEER RAY BRIEM, N6FFT - S.K.
We seem to be using the words of the changing of the guard more often
these days, and once again they seem most apropos. This with the word of
the passing of broadcasting legend Ray Briem, N6FFT as we hear from
Amateur Radio Newsline's Bruce Tennant, K6PZW:
--
Anyone born or raised in the great American Southwest in the last half
century likely knows the name Ray Briem. For some 30 of those years Briem
who held the Amateur Service call letters N6FFT was called the host who
owned overnight talk radio on Los Angeles station KABC A.M..
Born Leland R. Briem in Ogden, Utah, in 1930, Ray Briem first took to the
radio airwaves at the age of fifteen. On August 14th, 1945 he was asked
by a station manager to substitute for a staff announcer and with that his
days in radio were off and running.
The highlight of Ray Briems career was when he came to KABC in 1967 where
he held court over the nighttime hours until 1994. While he loved big
band music and interviewed hundreds of celebrities his mainstay was
talking with and to his listeners. And when he got involved in shortwave
listening and then ham radio, several nights each year were devoted to
talking about both of these topics. Frequent guests on those special
shows included the late Lenore Jensen, W6NAZ, her husband Bob, W6VGQ and
Lloyd Sigmon, W6LQ, who created the traffic alert system named in his
honor known as the Sigalert.
After retiring from KABC, Ray Briem did a brief afternoon talk show on
KIEV-AM. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and in 2008 was
honored for his contributions to broadcast radio by the Pacific Pioneer
Broadcasters organization.
On a personal note, unlike some celebrities with call signs, Ray was more
than a name in an amateur radio database. He was often heard on the local
ham radio airwaves and I myself had many contacts great with him through
the Catalina Island repeater. As always, be it speaking to hundreds of
thousands over KABC, or in a one on one contact via ham radio Ray Briem,
N6FFT, was a true gentleman and a friendly voice in the night that will be
missed.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, Im Bruce Tennant. K6PZW, in Los Angeles.

For a truly beautiful retrospective about Ray Briem, N6FFT, and his career
we suggest that you read the article by fellow broadcaster Doug McIntire
that appeared in the Los Angeles Daily News. You can find it at
tinyurl.com/la-daily-news-briem. (ARNewslineT; K6PZW, published news

RADIO FROM SPACE: NEW HUGE TELESCOPE TO WARN OF SOLAR STORMS
Astronomers say a new eye on the sky in Western Australia's remote outback
could potentially save the world billions of dollars. This by warning of
a pending cosmic catastrophe.
The International Center for Radio Astronomy Research in Perth reports
that the new Murchison Widefield Array radio telescope will give a
dramatically improved view of the sun. This in turn should provide an
early warning of explosive solar storms that can damage to communication
satellites, electric power grids and GPS navigation systems.
In addition to its solar observations, the Murchison Widefield Array will
offer scientists an unprecedented view of the entire history of the
universe, including how the very first stars and galaxies formed.

WORLDBEAT: ZIMBABWE THREATENS TO JAM SHORTWAVE BROADCASTS
The South African nation of Zimbabwe thinks it should jam shortwave
broadcasts from outside that nation's borders. Newzimbabwe.com reports
that at a recent Zanu PF party conference it was proposed to jam the
signals of foreign-based radio stations such as Voiceof America's Studio
7, Radio Voice of the People and South West Radio Africa that ruling party
officials accuse of pushing a Western-backed regime change agenda in
Zimbabwe.
But critics say such a move would deny the majority of people access to
important alternative sources of information to make informed decisions.
They argue that President Robert Mugabe's party wants to continue its
domination of the airwaves in order to maintain the status quo. But Zanu
PF officials maintain these radio stations are breaking the Zimbabwe law
and should be jammed. More is on-line at
tinyurl.com/zimbabwe-jamming-threats. (Newzimbabwe)
