RADIO LAW: NORTHERN ARIZONA COUNTY BANS ALL FORMS OF MOBILE TWO-WAY RADIO
We begin this week with breaking news of a new ban on mobile cellphone use
in one Northern Arizona county. One that effectively precludes all forms
of mobile two way radio other than those needed for public service by
first responders, police, fire and other authorized officials. One of its
biggest impacts is that it will effectively preclude hams from operating
mobile.
The new law is the work of the leaders of Coconino County located in the
north central part of Arizona and is a part of the Flagstaff metropolitan
statistical area. It not only includes the city of Flagstaff but the
Grand Canyon and adjacent areas as well.
As written, the new ban outlaws mobile radio communications most drivers
who depend on the technology unless they are using a hands-free device.
It also stops amateur radio operators and others who use push to talk
microphone from being able to easily assist in a volunteer capacity with
local events. The measure provides a very narrowly crafted exemption for
amateur radio operators working during an emergency situation under the
direction of authorized first responders but nothing else. If a ham or
any other member of the public wants to use a two-way communications
device while operating mobile anywhere in the county, he or she must pull
over to the side of the road or use a hands free connection such as
Bluetooth to their mobile device.
According to the Arizona Daily Sun, there are hundreds of amateur radio
operators in the county who are very angry over the new law. It says that
hams have been reaching out to the Chairman of the county Board of
Supervisors to get a clarification or an amendment that would create an
exemption allowing their mobile radio operations to continue. But the
newspaper also says that when reached for comment county officials
confirmed that the ordinance does ban mobile amateur radio operations as
well as all other two-way mobile communications deemed as personal.
Motorists have been given a a six month grace period during which they
will receive only a warning. After that violating the ordinance will be
punishable by a $100 fine, plus any other penalty allowable by law.

PUBLIC SERVICE: HAM RADIO AT THE BOSTON MARATHON
Once again ham radio provided numerous communications links for this years
running of the Boston Marathon. According to news reports there was
heightened security due to last year's terror attack, but that did not
slow down the pace of this year's event. Heather Embee, KB3TZD, has more:
--
The ARRL reports more than 300 amateur radio volunteers provided
communication support on April 21 for the 118th running of the Boston
Marathon. In a show of solidarity following last year's tragic bombings
close to the finish line, a near record numbers of runners - upward of
36,000 - turned out for the Patriot's Day event along with a huge
outpouring of spectators.
Steve Schwarm, W3EVE, is the Boston Marathon Course Coordinator. He said
that in the wake of the 2013 bombings that they received a fantastic
showing of volunteer support across the start, the course, and finish line
from the amateur radio community. Schwarm noted that the level of ham
radio support for the 2014 event demonstrated that "Boston Strong" remains
a rallying cry in the wake of last year's tragedy.
The Boston Marathon is a major public service event for the region's
Amateur Radio volunteers. It follows a 26.2 mile course from Hopkinton to
Boston, Massachusetts. Amateur radio communication support became
critical in the aftermath of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, when
conventional telecommunications systems, such as cellular telephone,
quickly became overloaded and confusion reigned.

RADIO LAW: OFCOM 27 MHZ CB AND 915 MHZ CONSULTATIONS
United Kingdom telecommunications regulator Ofcom has published a
consultation on draft regulations that will among other things impact on
27 MHz CB radio.
The proposed Wireless Telegraphy Exemption regulations would implement a
number of previous decisions made by Ofcom. Among other actions the
regulations would authorize the use of 870 to 876 MHz and 915 to 921 MHz
for a number of short range devices on a license-exempt basis. They would
also enable the land-based use of Earth Stations on Moving Platforms on a
license free basis and also allow two different Amplitude Modulation modes
to be used for 27 MHz Citizens Band radio.
As far as the CB proposal, the change in the rules change would put the
modes available in the UK in line with most other nations world-wide where
AM and later SSB have been used for decades. CB in the UK is currently an
FM only service. (Various sources)

PUBLIC SERVICE: HAMS IN INDIA ASASIST IN GENERAL ELECTIONS
On the other side of the world, Radio amateurs in India have assisted in
that nations 2014 general elections that were to be held on Wednesday
April 30th.
According to a news release form India's National Institute of Amateur
Radio the nations Chief Election Officer requested amateur radio
communications support into areas which are not accessible by normal
telecommunication facilities. The National Institute in turn put out a
call to its members who had the time to volunteer for this duty and to
confirm their availability from 27th to the 30th.
The exact role that ham radio would play in the election was not spelled
out in the National Institute of Amateur Radio request but it was assumed
to be as a link between the isolated areas and India's central election
headquarters. (NAIR, Southgate)

RADIO NEAR SPACE: LONG DURATION PARTY BALLOON FLIGHT FROM THE UK TO
RUSSIA VIA GREENLAND
An amazing journey for a long duration foil party balloon transmitting
Contestia 8/250 telemetry data on 434.500 MHz USB The medium altitude
craft was launched on Friday, April 18th from Silverstone in the United
Kingdom by Leo Bodnar, M0EXR.
During its long duration journey, the balloon known simply as B-46 first
headed West over to Southern Iceland, lopping North across Western
Greenland then heading West across the Norwegian Sea. It then made
landfall in Europe along Sweden's Northern coastline traveling South East
down into Finland and into Russia where the flight appeared to end close
to the Ukrainian border. Depending on the altitude, the 12 gram, three
foot balloon could have had a radio range of between 180 and 300 miles.
Bondar was one of the first to experiment with long duration flights using
what are commonly known as party balloons. Reports of his work in this
area appear to have prompted other individuals and groups world-wide to
experiment with similar technology. The use of Contestia 8/250 sends two
lines of telemetry every 4 minutes and lasts about 1 minute. Time between
telemetry data was filled with beeps at 3 second intervals.
You can see the flight path of B-46 at

DX UP FRONT: TONGA MAY 28 TO JUNE 3
In DX up front JA0RQV is planning to activate Niuatoputapu Island at the
very small northern end of Tongan territory between May 28th and June 3rd.
He will be signing A35JP/P with operations will be on 80 through 6
meters using CW and SSB. But there is one hitch, that being his time on
the air will be limited to when and where he can find a source of electric
power as there are no power mains at the locayions he will be at. That
meand locating a generator or a vehicle with a good battery to power his
station. JA0RQV adds that in the off chance his flight is cancelled, he
will instead operate from Vava'u Island or Tongatapu Island. Either way,
if you work him please QSL via his home callsign either direct, via the
bureau or electronically using Logbook to the World.

ENFORCEMENT: FLORIDA RESIDENT ISSUES PROPOSED $48000 FINE FOR OPERATING
CELLPHOPNE JAMMING DEVICE
A Florida resident that the FCC says was the source of cellular telephone
jamming for upward of two years has been handed a $48,000 Notice of
Liability to Monetary Forfeiture. The FCC says that Jason R. Humphreys of
Seffner, Florida, was caught with a jamming device in his car as he rode
along Interstate 4 disrupting not only cell phones, but allegedly police
and other emergency communications as well. Amateur Radio Newsline's
Stephan Kinford, N8WB, has the details:
--
For the FCC it all began back on April 29, 2013. That's when its
Enforcement Bureau received a complaint from Metro P-C-S that its cellular
telephone service had been experiencing interference during the morning
and evening commutes in the Tampa, Florida, area. Based on the location
of the towers and the times that the alleged interference occurred, the
Bureau determined that the likely source of the interference was mobile
along Interstate 4 between downtown Tampa and Seffner, Florida.
On May 7th, agents from the Bureau's Tampa Office began monitoring the
suspected route. On May 7th, 8th, and 9th the agents determined that
strong wideband emissions within the cellular and P-C-S bands were coming
from a blue Toyota Highlander with a Florida license plate. On May 9th,
the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, working with the FCC agents
stopped the suspect vehicle. At that time the Sheriffs Deputies reported
that communications with police dispatch over their 800 MHz two-way
portable radios were interrupted as they approached the S-U-V.
The agents from the FCC Tampa Office and the Hillsborough Sheriff's
Deputies interviewed the driver, who identified himself as Jason R.
Humphreys. At that time Humphreys admitted that he owned and had operated
a cell phone jammer from his car and had done so for the past 16 to 24
months. An inspection of the vehicle revealed the jammer behind the seat
cover of the passenger seat. Humphreys stated that he had been operating
the jammer to keep people from talking on their cell phones while driving.
At the conclusion of the interview, the Hillsborough Sheriff Deputies
seized Humphreys' cell phone jammer pursuant to Florida state law. On May
10th, Metro P-C-S confirmed that the interference to its cell towers had
ceased.
Now, after looking at all of the evidence in the case the FCC has issued
the proposed 48,000 fine. In doing so it said that Jason Humphreys
apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Sections of the
Communications Act and several sections of the agency's rules by operating
the cell phone jammer. Also that operation of the device could and may
have had disastrous consequences by precluding the use of cell phones to
reach life-saving 911 services provided by police, ambulance, and fire
departments. It also could have disrupted critical communications of
first responders driving on the highway near Humphreys' vehicle.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Stephen Kinford, N8WB, reporting.
--
The Notice of Proposed Liability or NAL to Jason R. Humphreys was approved
on April 24th and made public on April 29th. At that time he was given
the customary 30 days to pay the fine in full or to file an appeal. (FCC)

DIGITAL VOICE: GETTING TO KNOW D-STAR WITHOUT BUYING A RADIO
If you are thinking about getting into D-STAR and are wondering just what
you can expect when you get a radio or DV Dongle, you can now find out by
listening to live audio online from the VA6EFR Gateway.
According to Jeff Bishop, to monitor without any D-STAR equipment just
take your web browser to the Edmonton Fire Radio website at
www.edmontonfireradio.com and click on the listen live link. You can also
monitor on your mobile device using various scanner apps on Android,
iPhone and Blackberry. Depending on the app you would search by location,
and then select Canada, Alberta, Edmonton and finally the VA6EFR D-STAR
Gateway.
For those with D-STAR gear, Bishop says that his gateway is normally
linked to Reflector 30 C, however from time to time it may connect to
other D-STAR reflectors or repeaters. (VE6EFR, D-STAR Remailer)

DIGITAL VOICE: MINUTE MAN REPEATER ASSN TAKING PART IN YAESU SYSTEM
FUSION BETA TESTING
The Massachusetts based Minute Man Repeater Association will be taking
part in Yaesu's "System Fusion" trial using its 146.790 Mhz system. The
repeater is now a Yaesu DR-1 dual mode unit that can operate both
traditional FM as well as digital audio in the C4FM codec. The system
will repeat in the same mode as it is receiving on its input.
Right now the systems controller is being reconfigured to work with the
new repeater. For the time being the 146.79 machine is operating
standalone with no linking available. Additionally, the 224.70 repeater
which also depends on the controller is temporarily off the air.
The Minute Man Repeater Association is a non-profit communications
organization dedicated to public service and emergency communications. It
maintains a system of over twenty repeaters in Eastern and Central
Massachusetts which are made available to provide communications at events
such as the Boston Walk for Hunger, the Boston Marathon and many other
charity events. In addition the club provides equipment and recruits
volunteers to staff these events. When not being used for public service
or emergencies, the repeaters are open to all radio amateurs for casual
and friendly contacts.

EMERGING TECHNOLOGY: NEW ULTRACAPICITOR DEVELOPED
Scientists at George Washington University have found that ultracapacitors
built with carbon nanotubes and graphene deliver high-performance at low
cost. Amateur Radio Newsline's Cheryl Lasik, K9BIK, has the details of
this scientific breakthrough:
--
The research team made the new ultracapacitor out of graphene flakes and
single-walled carbon nanotubes by using an electric arc to vaporize a
hollow graphite rod filled with a catalyzing metallic powder. They then
combined graphene flakes and carbon nanotubes, spread them on paper, and
rolled them into a new light-weight, high-performance, low cost
ultracapacitor.
Jian Li is one of the authors on the report on the research done to create
these devices. He explained that the nanotubes offer connectivity while
the graphene flakes provide high surface area and good in plane
conductivity. By adding graphene, the mixture's specific capacitance
tripled compared with using the carbon nanotubes alone. Li says that the
result is like combining the high energy density of batteries with the
high power-density of capacitors.
Ultracapacitors sometimes call Supercapacitors are generic terms for a
family of new electrochemical capacitors. These devices don't have a
conventional solid dielectric. Rather the capacitance value is determined
by two storage principles, which both contribute to the devices total
capacitance.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Cheryl Lased, K9BIK, reporting.
--
The significance of this new ultracapacitor is its light weight and low
cost making it useful in a variety of tasks from acting as a source of
voltage to maintain static memory to larger jobs such as being part of the
power system in electric cars.
An in depth abstract on this research report is available from the Journal
of Applied Physics at tinyurl.com/low-cost-ultracapacitor

RADIO IN SPACE: ASTRO-HAM ON SPACEWALK TO REPLACE FAULTY ISS COMPUTER
An important piece of space hardware that's part of the International
Space Station has been replaced by two United States Astronauts. On
Wednesday, April 23rd Rick Mastracchio, KC5ZTE, and Steven Swanson,
hustled through what NASA termed as an urgent repair job by taking a space
walk to swap out a computer and doing so in under an hour.
The removed back-up computer failed nearly three weeks ago. The primary
computer has been working perfectly, but NASA wanted to install a fresh
spare as soon as possible.
NASA feared that if the primary computer went down as well, the entire
space station could be in serious jeopardy. These two computers control
the pointing of the solar panels and radiators, as well as the movement of
the robot-arm rail cart.
Mission Control asked the spacewalkers to keep an eye out for any damage
that might explain the breakdown but nothing was found. (NASA and

WORLDBEAT: TASMANIA RECEIVES WATER SOAKED QSLS FROM FRANCE
If you live down-under and are expecting a QSL card via the bureau from
France, you may have a surprise in store. It seems that a recent shipment
of QSL's received in the Victorian Head Office Bureau from France were
completely soaked in the box. The water had saturated the entire
consignment and not just those cards destined for Tasmania. While the
bureau has done its best to save most of the cards some are so bad that
they are being returned to France to see if new cards can be obtained.

FINAL ITEM: ITS ARDF TIME AGAIN
And finally this week, it has become an annual tradition for on-foot
transmitter hunters to gather to see who is best and to select USA's team
for the World Championships. This year's get-together is only a few weeks
away. Newsline's Joe Moell, K0OV has the details.
--
Fans of on-foot hidden transmitter hunting are getting ready for the
Fourteenth USA Championships of Amateur Radio Direction Finding, or ARDF,
that will take place June 5 through 8 near Boston. The best
radio-orienteers in the country will be there, as well as some experts
from around the world. You don't need to be an expert, because anyone can
join in the competition as a learning experience.
The championships include full courses with five transmitters to find, one
day on two meters and another day on 80 meters. There will also be
competitions in two new 80-meter events, a fast sprint and foxoring, which
is a combination of transmitter hunting and classic orienteering.
Site of these contests will be some large forests that are about ten miles
south of downtown Boston. This year's organizer and host is Vadim Afonkin
KB1RLI. He learned the sport as a youth in his native Russia. When he
got back into it here in the states, he began a streak of winning medals
at every national championship. Two years ago, he brought home a gold,
two silvers and a bronze medal from the ARDF World Championships in
Serbia.
If you would like to take part as a competitor or a helper, point your Web
browser to www.bostonardf.org for the latest information and registration
forms. Do it right away, because the deadline for registrations is fast
approaching. For more about the sporting side of radio direction finding,
including rules and ideas for equipment, go to www.homingin.com.
