Ärende: Amateur Radio NewslineT Report 1878 - August 9 2013
===========================================================
Amateur Radio NewslineT Report 1878 - August 9 2013
Amateur Radio Newsline report number 1878 with a release date of August 9
2013 to follow in 5-4-3-2-1.
The following is a QST. Scientists say that the Sun's magnetic poles are
about to reverse; hams in India again respond as monsoon rains bring
landslides; a Florida man is electrocuted while installing an antenna;
Louisiana adopts the Alert FM public warning system and guess who is not
going to retire from ham radio teaching. Find out the answer on Amateur
Radio NewslineT report number 1878 coming your way right now.
FUTURE PROPAGATION: SUN MAGNETIC POLES READY TO REVERSE
According to measurements from NASA-supported observatories, the sun's
vast magnetic field is about to turn over. Amateur Radio Newsline's
Heather Embee, KB3TZD, has the details:
--
The Sun's magnetic field changes polarity approximately every 11 years.
It happens at the peak of each solar cycle as our home star's inner
magnetic field generator reorganizes itself signaling the mid-point of a
Solar Cycle.
Todd Hoeksema is the Director of Stanford's Wilcox Solar Observatory which
is one of the few that monitor the sun's polar magnetic fields. He says
that we are no more than 3 to 4 months away from a complete field reversal
and that this change will have ripple effects throughout the solar system.
This is because of the fact that the domain of the Sun's magnetic
influence, also known as the Heliosphere, extends billions of kilometers
beyond the minor planet Pluto and almost too interstellar space.
When solar physicists talk about solar field reversals they are also
referring to something known as the Sun's Current Sheet. This is a
sprawling surface jutting outward from its equator where it's slowly
rotating magnetic field induces an electrical current. During field
reversals, the current sheet becomes very wavy. As Earth orbits the sun,
it dips in and out of the current sheet. Transitions from one side to
another can stir up stormy space weather around our planet which in turn
can affect radio propagation to some degree.
As the field reversal approaches, data from the Wilcox Solar Observatory
shows that the sun's two hemispheres are out of synch. According to Solar
Physicist Phil Scherrer the Sun's North Pole has already changed sign,
while the South Pole is racing to catch up. Soon both poles will be
reversed, and the second or downhill half of Solar Max will be underway.
For ham radio it likely means that good DX openings especially on the
higher bands could be fewer and far in-between.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Heather Embee, KB3TZD, in Berwick,
Pennsylvania.

RESCUE RADIO: HAMS IN INDIA AGAIN RESPOND TO MONSOON FLOODING
Hams in India are reportedly once again on the front lines. This as
another series of heavy rains on August 4th lead to landslides hit in the
high mountain range area of Idukki and the adjoining districts of Kerala.
At airtime nine people have lost their lives and scores are reported
missing from the monsoon saturated areas. Word is that the ham radio
response is centered on 7.080 MHz for long distance communications with
VHF being used within the storm devastated region.
Idukki is described as an agricultural area where most people operate
small farms. Reports say that the region has suffered heavy crop and
property loss due to the flooding.

RADIO LAW: UK GOVERNMENT MAY AMEND OFCOM'S STATUTORY DUTIES
A report by the United Kingdom Department for Culture Media and Sport says
that telecommunications regulator Ofcom's duties should expanded to
include the power to issue monetary penalties for breach of Wireless
Telegraphy Act licenses.
The report is titled Connectivity, Content and Consumers - Britain's
digital platform for growth. It covers a number of issues related to the
RF spectrum including such items as spectrum management on and the already
planned digital radio switchover. However of greater interest is the
Spectrum Management Impact Assessment document. It notes that the
Government's preferred option is to amend Ofcom's statutory duties to make
possible Dynamic Spectrum Access database licensing, incentive auctions
and to impose monetary penalties for breach of Wireless Telegraphy Act
licenses.
The report says that should a holder of spectrum is in breach of the
Wireless Telegraphy Act even in a minor way, Ofcom can currently only
prosecute licensees or revoke their licenses. Such measures are often
disproportionate to the offence. The report also suggests that its time
to introduce a system of penalties which provide appropriate incentives
for compliance. This would essentially be similar to the authority that
the FCC has here in the United States. (Published news reports)

FOLLOWUP: RADIO CLUB WILL MOVE DIGIPETER AFTER ITS RECOVERED FROM FALLEN
TOWER
A follow-up to last weeks story on the destruction of the Rocky Ridge
radio tower east of San Francisco, California. It's now been learned that
the ham radio system on that tower belonged to the Mt. Diablo Amateur
Radio Club and was its heavily trafficked 144.390 MHz Packet Radio and
APRS digipeater.
Jim Siemons, AF6PU, is a spokesman for the group. He says that the club's
repeater committee has decided to move the digipeater and the results were
amazing:
--
AF6PU: "This last Friday (Julu 2nd), Trevor Hall, WA6JAU, was able to get
into the vault at Rocky Ridge and retrieve all of our Digipeter gear.
Early on Saturday morning (July 3rd) a group of us met to go up to the
North peak of Mt. Diablo to set up ATV gear. And while we were up there
Trevor was able to install and get running the Digipeter. The great news
is that at its higher vantage point we are now covering almost 150 miles
all the way around."
--
According to AF6PU, the new site should offer packet and APRS coverage to
the majority of hams in Northern California.
Meantime police are still asking the publics assistance in finding the
person or persons responsible for this act of vandalism. If you have any
information that might help please contact investigators at area code
510-881-1833. (AF6PU, ARNewslineT)

RADIO ACCIDENTS: FLORIDA MAN ELECTROCUTED PUTTING UP ANTENNA FOR ALLEGED
UNLICENSED RADIO STATION
An Oakland Park, Florida man was electrocuted on July 29th while trying
to install an antenna for an unlicensed radio station antenna on the roof
of a strip mall. According to the Broward Sheriff's Office forty-two year
old Jean Roselet Adelphonse was reportedly climbing a tree at about 10:40
p.m. when the 30-foot antenna that was supporting came into contact a high
voltage power line. His friend, Clebert Durand, who was helping him
install the antenna, called 911. Officials said Adelphonse was trying to
start a Creole-language pirate station and that they found more
broadcasting equipment in his vehicle. (RW, Orlando Sentinal)

RESCUE RADIO: LOUISIANA ADOPTS ALERT FM STATE WIDE
A new public alert system is coming to the state of Louisiana. Amateur
Radio Newsline's Don Wilbanks, AE5DW, has the details:
--
If there's ever another disaster like Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana will be
in a far better position to advise its residents than back in August of
2005. This with the announcement by Louisiana's Office of Homeland
Security and Emergency Preparedness that it has adopted the Alert FM
system as a way of notifying the state's emergency managers in 64 parishes
and 42 institutions of higher learning of an imminent threat to life or
property.
According to the release, Louisiana's Senator Mary Landrieu was an early
supporter of the broadcast-based emergency alert systems. She is quoted
as saying that with Alert FM, Louisiana has implemented a reliable method
of distributing life-saving information to the citizens. She added that
the dependability of broadcast transmissions can make the difference
between life and death during an emergency.
As previously reported here on Newsline, Alert FM is an emergency
notification system that delivers messages from state, local, and private
sector officials to citizens, schools, businesses, and first responders
using the Radio Data System or R-D-S sub-carrier of local FM radio
stations. Messages are originated by designated officials and are then
transported from a secure web-based portal to the data sub-carrier via GSS
Net which is a secure satellite data delivery system. These alerts and
messages are then received by FM stations and re-transmitted to Alert FM
equipped receivers or to cell phones that have both active FM chips and
properly installed software.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Don Wilbanks, AE5DW, in New Orleans.

ELECTRONIC SAFETY: APPLE OFFERS FAKE FOR REAL CHARGER EXCHANGE
Apple has begun a worldwide program to replace third-party and counterfeit
USB chargers for use with its iPhone, iPad, and iPod products. The after
reports that a woman in China was electrocuted by a non-Apple charger.
Apple said it would swap third-party chargers for an official replacement
on payment of $10 or the equivalent fee in local currency. The exchange
program begins on August 16th and will run until October 18th.
In mid-July, Apple said it was investigating reports that Ma Ailun was
killed when she answered her iPhone 5 while it was plugged into a wall
charger. Investigators later said that her death was caused by a fake
third party non-Apple charger.
No mention was made of the woman's death in the announcement of the
trade-in program but Apple did say that the initiative was prompted by
safety issues. Apple also said that the third-party and fake chargers
would be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way. You can read one
of the many detailed stories on this Apple initiated safety program at
tinyurl.com/apple-charger-exchange. (BBC, iDigital Times, Huffington
Post, others)

ENFORCEMENT: FCC PROPOSES $8000 FINE AGAINST BROADCASTER THAT MOVED
TRANSMITTER WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION
The FCC has proposed an $8,000 fine to the religious broadcaster
Fellowshipworld Inc. which is the licensee of WFWO - FM. This for
allegedly operating from a location other than the one it was authorized
for. Stephan Kinford, N8WB, reports:
--
According to the Commission, the noncommercial station was authorized to
transmit on 89.7 MHz in Knowelsville, New York. Responding to a complaint
in October 2012, an agent from the Enforcement Bureau's Philadelphia
office traced the signal back to the Fellowship Christian Center in
Buffalo, some 36 miles from Knowelsville. The agent also took field
strength measurements to determine if WFWO's power levels were low enough
to operate under Part 15 of its rules. The FCC said in its decision that
WFWO exceeded the maximum permitted for non-licensed devices and,
therefore, required a license to operate.
In his response, Fellowship President John Young told the commission the
station stopped operating from its original transmitter site so the
property owner could remove some trees around the antenna. Young was
admitted that the group was operating a one-watt low-powered transmitter
on 89.7MHz in Buffalo. The agent told Young to stop operating the 1 watt
transmitter because it was over-powered for Part 15 operation and not at
its authorized location. The FCC said Young agreed and the agency followed
up with a Notice of Unlicensed Operation. It warned the licensee of a
violation and that a fine could be imposed.
But in November of 2012 the director of engineering from a licensed
station told the FCC that WFWO was once again transmitting again from the
Buffalo location. An FCC Enforcement Bureau agent confirmed that it was
on the air and inspected the facility. This time Young claimed he was
unaware the station was operational and alleged that his children must
have turned on the transmitter.
But in its imposing the penalty the FCC said that while the base fine for
this type of violation is $4,000, that it raised it to $8,000, saying the
licensee's conduct in this case is egregious.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Stephen Kinford, N8WB, in Wadsworth,
Ohio.

Fellowshipworld Inc. was given the customary 30 days from imposition of
the proposed fine to pay or to file an appeal. (FCC)

RADIO LAW: NO FM TRANSLATOR FOR EMF IN LOS ANGELES
The FCC says that the Educational Media Foundation cannot have an FM
translator in Los Angeles, California. In making its decision the
regulatory agency said that the broadcaster had not proven that granting
its application would not preclude future Low Power FM licensing
opportunities for it in that market.
The Media Bureau had treated the Educational Media Foundation situation as
a request for a waiver and said in its decision such waivers face a high
hurdle. Audio Division Chief Peter Doyle noted that given the massive
number of pending translator applications, the agency isn't going to
conduct a case-by-case assessment of any one request. (FCC, RW)

WORLDBEAT: NEW ZEALAND RADIO STATION ORDERED TO APOLOGIZE
Some enforcement of a different kind. This as a broadcaster down-under is
ordered to apologize for things said on the air. Jim Meachen, ZL2BHF, has
the details:
--
A New Zealand radio station has been ordered to apologize on-the-air for
abusing and insulting local councilors, as well as a rival radio
broadcaster. This after the nations Broadcasting Standards Authority
ruled that Cruise FM Waikato must express regret for unfair comments made
about South Waikato District Council members, Classic Hits Radio and its
staff in two broadcasts late last year.
The Broadcasting Standards Authority found that while host and owner
Johnny Dryden and another councilor were broadly discussing issues of
public interest, their comments went beyond what could be considered
acceptable. Also that they had the potential to be very damaging to the
individuals' reputations.
The Broadcasting Standards Authority went on to note that Dryden made
comments that were not related to their public or professional duties but
were personally abusive and insulting.
Cruise FM has been ordered to pay the Crown $2500 New Zealand Dollars to
cover its costs in the matter. It must also broadcast an apology for the
unfair treatment within a month.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Jim Meachen, ZL2BHF, on the South
Island in Nelson, New Zealand.
--
Imagine if there was a board similar to the New Zealand Broadcasting
Standards Authority here in the United States. It there were, its likely
there would be very few edgy radio talk shows and no shock jocks on the
air. (RW, NewsComAu, Broadcast NZ)

HAM RADIO IN SPACE: HAM TV HEADS TO THE ISS
A Japanese HTV-4 cargo vessel carrying the new Ham TV gear was
successfully launched to the International Space Station on Saturday,
August 3rd. Once activated, the primary mission of Ham TV is to perform
contacts between the astronauts on the ISS and school students by adding
real time video to the current voice only QSO's within the ARISS program.
The European Space Agency's Columbus module on the ISS will host the 2.4
GHz video transmitting station in addition to the existing 2 meter FM
amateur radio station. The new equipment can broadcast images from the
ISS during the school contacts or other downlink other pre-recorded video
images up to 24 hours a day.
The IARU Amateur Satellite Frequency Coordination Panel has announced
frequencies of 2422.0 MHz and 2437.0 MHz for use by the Ham TV project.
It is currently planned to transmit using the DVB-S signal format with 10
watts of power. More about the project is on the web at
tinyurl.com/iss-ham-tv (ARISS)

HAM RADIO IN SPACE: SPACE CONTACT BIG SUCCESS AT SCOUTING JAMBOREE
Christopher Friesen, VE4CWF, reports via the AMSAT News Service that he
heard and recorded the space to ground portion of ham radio contact
between NA1SS on board the International Space station with operators at
the Boy Scout's of America 2013 Jamboree on July 20th. Friesen, who lives
several hundred miles away in Steinbach, Canada says that he copied
astro-ham Luca Parmitano, KF5KDP, operating as NA1SS making contact with
Jamboree station K2BSA and answering questions from the scouts.
VE4CWF added that at the time of the contact that space station was making
a relatively low 30 degree pass to the south of his location. He says
that to copy the N-A-One-S-S side of the contact that he had to climb to
the peak of his roof to get above the trees and other rooftops in the
area. He says that he used his Yaesu FT-60R handheld transceiver and what
he called his Slapshot antenna capture the contact. You can read VE4CWF's
entire report and hear the ISS to ground portion of the QSO at
tinyurl.com/ANS-216-B. The audio clip is near the bottom of the page.

THAT FINAL ITEM: GORDON WEST WB6NOA SAYS HE WILL TRAIN THE TRAINERS
And finally this week the man who is possibly the worlds best known ham
radio instructor says that he is not going to rehire after all.
--
WB6NOA: "That's right; Gordo is not retiring from teaching but rather Ill
be teaching `Elmers' and instructors and Scout Merit Badge leaders how to
do ham radio classes similar to the classes that I have done for the past
44 years."
--
Of coarse that's Gordon West, WB6NOA, who earlier this year had hinted
that a change was coming in his life that many saw as a hint that he would
be pulling the plug. But West says that he feels that it's time to take
his years of accumulated knowledge and pass it on to the next generation
of instructors who will be the people bringing new operators into the
hobby over the next several decades. And from this came the idea of
rounding out his career by teaching the teachers:
--
WB6NOA: "Teaching the teachers was a decision that I made when I saw that
class sizes were continuing to remain strong and I had other `Elmers' come
over and monitor. So I thought `why not teach the teachers and get more
classes going throughout the local area here in Southern California as
well as well as when I travel throughout the country going with some of
the techniques I use.' So beginning officially now, I'm going to be
training the trainers rather than actually presenting classes for
students."
--
West says that he plans to get this new educational project underway in
just a couple of weeks:
--
WB6NOA: "We are going to hold our first Instructors Class on October 5th
here in Orange County (California) and we already have about 25 signed up.
And these are not necessarily ham radio instructors but rather `Elmers'
wanting to representing their club and wanting to teach ham radio classes
like mine.
"Then Ill take this same technique and this same seminar, make it shorter
and present sessions at Pacificon coming up in October, the Midwest
Convention in November and other ham shows throughout the country where
Ill put on an hour or so on training the trainers."
--
The exact location of this first "Train the Trainers" session will be the
Muth Interpretive Center, 2301 University Drive in Newport Beach
California. The class will begin at 8 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. Pacific
Daylight Time. Each instructor will receive the forty page INSTRUCTOR
TEACHING GUIDE that gives step-by-step directions on teaching the new
Technician class materials. Those planning to attend are encouraged to
download this free guide ahead of time at www.haminstructor.com.
Lastly, more information on Gordon West's plans to train the next
generation of ham radio educators can be found on his website at www dot
gordonwestradioschool dot com. Just click on the tab marked `Ham
Instructors.' (WB6NOA, ARNewslineT)
