LOWBAND OPERATIONS: ZL TO WESTERN VK AR 630 METERS OVER 3100 MILE PATH
It seems perseverance has paid off for long-time 630 meter operator Murray
Greenman, ZL1BPU, who uses the special-purpose call sign ZL1EEfor contacts
on that band. Amateur Radio Newsline's Jim Meachen, ZL2BHF, is here with
the details:
--
During the week of April 13th to the 20th ZL1EE had numerous reception
reports from Berndt Josef Wulf, VK5ABN/8 some 2010 miles away near the
city of Adelaide, Australia. But the real payoff came when he learned
that his signal had been copied by Dereck Zeck, VK6DZ, in the Australian
city of Elleker, some 3100 miles to the West.
Using the new WSPR 2 digital mode Greenman operated overnight at 200 power
out into a small 23 foot high Marconi antenna that was squeezed into a 1/5
acre urban lot. This put the Effective Radiated Signal below the maximum
25 watts permitted. It took a week of trying but with the reception
report from VK6DZ, he finally broke the 3000 mile distance barrier.
As elsewhere the 630 meter allocation here in New Zealand is from 472 kHz
to 479 kHz. What undoubtedly helped ZL1EE achieve this remarkable low
frequency DX is that his location is only about 7 miles from our West
coast and most of the path to VK6DZ is over water.
It should be noted that activity between Australia and New Zealand on 630
meters is quite strong, especially over the winter months here in the in
the Southern Hemisphere. The window of opportunity for these contacts
appears to be about two hours wide from local midnight.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Jim Meachen, ZL2BHF, in Nelson, New
Zealand.
--
With the growing popularity of this band in the Southern Hemisphere,
there's now a New Zealand 630 Meter Net that meets ever Thursday night
local time. Those involved say that they are looking for stations in
other South Pacific locations who prepared to listen and provide signal
reports of transmissions as they are heard. (Southgate, others)

HAM RADIO IN SPACE: KICKSAT NOW ON-ORBIT
The KickSat cubesat is now on-orbit and getting ready to release its cargo
of Sprite pico satellites early in May. After numerous delays, KickSat
was carried to space on Friday, April 18th on board a Space X Dragon
freight capsule using the companys' Falcon 9 re-usable booster. This as a
part of the CRS 3 re-supply mission to the International Space Station.
As previously reported, KickSat's beacon can be heard on 437.505 MHz as
well as 2401 to 2436.2 MHz transmitting various satellite perimeters.
Once released from their mother ship the Sprites will all be transmitting
on 437.240 MHz but each with its own unique digital code.
In addition to KickSat the Space X CRS 3 mission also delivered several
other cubesats including SporeSat, T-SAT, PhoneSat-v2.5 and
ALL-STAR/THEIA. All were deployed into a 325 by 315 kilometer 51.5 degree
inclination orbit. (KickSat, SpaceX)

ENFORCEMENT: TEXAS HAM AGREES TO RELINQUISH HIS LICENSE IN CONSENT DECREE
A Texas ham facing a $7000 proposed fine after admitting interfering with
other radio amateurs has entered into a Consent Decree with the FCC. One
where he will surrender his license and make a voluntary contribution to
the United States Treasury. Amateur Radio Newsline's Ralph Squillace,
KK6ITB, reports:
--
The story began last January 21st. Responding to complaints of
intentional interference to other hams operating on 7.195 MHz, an agent of
the Enforcement Bureau's Dallas Office used mobile direction finding to
positively identify the source of the transmissions to the address of
record for James R. Winstead, KD5OZY, of Coleman, Texas.
As previously reported, the agent monitored the transmissions for
approximately 30 minutes. Throughout that time he heard the replay
multiple times of short sentences or conversations that had just been
transmitted and someone occasionally speak the word "George."
The agent then identified himself to Mr. Winstead and requested to inspect
the radio station located on the premises. During the inspection,
Winstead admitted that he intentionally interfered with amateur
communications on 7.195 MHz claiming that he had an ongoing disagreement
with another amateur licensee only identified as George. He also showed
the agent how he recorded and retransmitted other amateur licensees'
communications.
On February 19th the FCC proposed a $7000 fine which Winstead was given 30
days to appeal. Now, in its Order released April 22nd, the FCC says that
it has entered into a Consent Decree between its Enforcement Bureau and
Mr. Winstead. Under its terms, Winstead has agreed to send the Commission
a letter requesting cancellation of his Amateur Extra class license. He
has also agreed to make a $1000 voluntary contribution to the United
States Treasury in 12 monthly installments. As a result, both the FCC and
James R. Winstead agree that the Consent Decree constitutes a final
settlement between them with respect to the Investigation as long as
Winstead abides by its terms.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Ralph, Squillace, KK6ITB, reporting.
--
Consent Decrees have long been used by various government bureaus
including the FCC to settle investigations but are rare in regard to
personal and hobby radio. The entire text of the Consent Decree between
the FCC and James R. Winstead is on-line at

ENFORCEMENT: FCC LOWERS $15000 PROPOSED FINE TO $250 IN CB LINEAR CASE
The FCC has drastically reduced a proposed $15,000 monetary forfeiture
issued to an Oklahoma Citizens Radio operator accused of using a linear
amplifier. The original fine was issued to Carlton Lewis of Enid back on
November 26th 2013. In his response to the Commission, Lewis did not deny
operating the linear amplifier but claimed that he had quit operating his
CB radio. He also requested cancellation of the forfeiture based on his
inability to pay stating that his only source of income is Social Security
benefits and provided the FCC with the required proof. Now after
considering all of the evidence before it the regulatory agency has
decided that complete cancellation of the monetary forfeiture is not
warranted but a reduction of the forfeiture amount from $15,000 to $250 is
appropriate in this case. (FCC)

ENFORCEMENT: RADIO EQUIPMENT SEIZED FROM THREE ILLEGAL RADIO STATIONS IN
GREATER BOSTON
Last week it was New York City. Now comes word that the FCC has again
teamed up with U.S. Marshall's to confiscate radio gear used by three
unlicensed broadcasters in the Boston, Massachusetts, area. Amateur Radio
Newsline's Stephan Kinford, N8WB, has the details:
--
Warrants were recently unsealed in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts
detailing the seizure of radio transmission equipment used by three
unlicensed radio stations around the Boston area. Named were 100.1 FM,
broadcasting from Everett, Mattapan, and Brockton, with a studio in
Dorchester. Also named were 88.7 FM also in Brockton and Touch 106.1 FM,
broadcasting from Boston.
The seizures were conducted by the United States Marshals Service and the
FCC on April 16th and 17th. In all three cases the government alleges
that the stations were operating without a license from the Federal
Communications Commission. According to affidavits filed with the court,
the FCC issued multiple warnings to the illegal operators but the radio
stations continued to broadcast. The forfeiture actions were brought
after complaints were received, including one from a licensed broadcaster
about interference with its signal. Separate civil actions were brought
seeking forfeiture of the equipment because it was allegedly used in
violation of federal law.
The overall case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Christine
Wichers of the United States Attorney's Civil Division. What further
punitive actions may be taken against the operators of these unlicensed
broadcast transmitting facilities is at airtime, unknown.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Stephan Kinford, N8WB, reporting.
--
Since 2011 the U.S. Attorney's Office has filed eight forfeiture actions
against illegal radio stations in the greater Boston area, effectively
taking all of them off the air. A detailed report from the U.S. Attorneys
Office can be read at

EMERGING TECHNOLOGY: VANCOUVER, B.C. SOON TO GET IT'S 3RD DIGITAL VOICE
MODE
Call this one a possible shootout over the future of VHF and UHF digital
voice communications. At least in Western Canada as we hear from Amateur
Radio Newsline's Heather Embee, KB3TZD:
--
Vancouver British Columbia is already well covered with 3 major D-STAR
repeaters, and 3 minor gateways. There are also two Mototrbo 4FSK
repeaters. Now the city is about to become home to its first C4FM system
as well thanks to Yaesu looking for Beta Testers of its new System Fusion.
The introduction of this latest digital voice mode is the result of the
Salt Spring Island Amateur Radio Club which operates the VE7RSI repeater
on 147.320 MHz. While the old FM only repeater equipment has been
generally reliable the club felt that it was getting a bit old as well as
being heavy and difficult to work on.
In late 2013, the club made a decision that it would be a good idea to
eventually replace it with something more up-to-date. With a list made
up, the brand new Yaesu DR-1 was at the top but it hadn't been released
yet. In late March the club heard a rumor that Yaesu was still looking
for beta testers so the club sent in an application which was accepted.
Its now waiting the arrival of the new dual mode repeater.
The club looks at the new Yaesu machine as what it terms as a game
changer. While it is capable of FM, it also handles digital signals using
C4FM FDMA. The club plans to make both modes available through the new
machine to see how current FM users are able to interact with those using
C4FM digital radios and vice versa. Likely also watching very closely
will be those not yet involved in D-STAR, C4FM, 4FSK, and other digital
voice modes such as P25.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Heather Embee, KB3TZD, reporting.
--
While the outcome of a C4FM repeater into an already burgeoning city with
several other digital voice modes already entrenched will likely not set
any world wide precedent, it will give hams around the globe something to
consider when the time comes for them to make a similar change. More is

EMERGING TECHNOLOGY: SYDNEY AUSTRALIA A P 25 HOTBEAD
Meantime, VHF and UHF digital audio is on the rise down-under, but in one
city its not a ham radio format that's taking hold. According to the
VK2WI News, the city of Sydney, Australia now boasts ten P-25 repeaters
on-air, and plans well underway by Matt Robert, VK2LK, to link these to
other P-25 repeaters around the world.
VK2WI also reports that a group of active P-25 users have recently started
a Facebook group, and invite other users of this mode world-wide to join.
Just search for "Sydney P25 HAM Radio User" and click on the words "Join
Group" to take part. (Amateur Radio New South Wales)

HAM RADIO NEAR SPACE: PONGSAT 2 KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN
John Powell, W6JPA, is trying to raise $11,000 on Kickstarter.com to send
2000 student projects to the edge of space. According to news reports,
next September 27th Powell hopes to launch 2000 student projects that fit
inside ping pong balls called PongSats.
If his campaign is successful, students from all over the world be invited
to send their PongSats to be launched skyward on weather balloons to an
altitude of at least 98,000 feet. After the landing and recovery, each of
the PongSats would be returned to its creators along with data from the
flight, a DVD with video of the launch and on board scenes and a

THAT FINAL ITEM: THE NEW DAYTON YOUTH BOOTH
And finally this week, if you are planning to attend these years Dayton
Hamvention, you might want to consider bringing along your sons and
daughters of any age. Thanks to the work of New York City educator Carole
Perry, WB2MGP, this year will mark the official introduction of the Youth
Booth where your offspring can meet and talk with those youngsters who
were presenters at the Hamvention Youth Forum. And according to WB2MGP,
it all came about because of a pole climbing robot:
--
WB2MGP: "Last year we had we had our last Youth Forum presenters do a
demonstration of an invention of theirs (which was) a pole climbing robot
device. At the end of the forum we invited people who wanted to see the
robotic device up close to come to the RCA booth and we commandeered the
empty booth next to us so that hams could keep stopping by to see it up
close and speak with the kids themselves."
--
WB2MGP says that the demonstration booth turned out to be so popular that
she approached the planners of Hamvention 2014 to see if they might be
receptive to making it an official part of this years gathering. And she
was successful:
--
WB2MGP: "DARA has been generous enough to give us the booth next to the
RCA booth and we are going to call it the Youth Booth. There the young
people from the Youth Forum are going to be there to explain their
inventions and to demonstrate them."
--
The Hamvention Youth Booth will be right next to the booth sponsored by
the Radio Club of America. WB2MGP hopes to make it an official part of
the Dayton Hamvention from this year on.
