RADIO JUSTICE: KILLER OF 8 INCLUDING A HAM RADIO OPERATOR PLEADS GUILTY
The Southern California man who killed 8 people including a ham radio
operator sitting in his truck has pleaded guilty to all charges. Amateur
Radio Newsline's Joe Moell, K0OV, has the details:
--
David Caouette N6DAC, was a star high-school athlete who turned down
college scholarships and NFL scouts so he could join the Navy and serve in
Vietnam. He became a father of three who loved offroading in his Land
Rover. David was age 64 on October 12, 2011 when he was shot down in cold
blood outside Salon Meritage in Seal Beach, California. He was the last
of the eight persons killed by 44-year-old Scott Dekraai, a man enraged by
a custody dispute with his wife, who was the first of the victims.
Dekraai, who was heavily armed and wearing a bulletproof vest, says he
shot N6DAC because he thought he was an off-duty or undercover officer.
After Dekraai initially pled Not Guilty, the goal of Orange County's
District Attorney was to have Dekraai's trial within a year. But that was
not to be. First the defense wasn't ready, then there were more delays
when his public defender alleged that Dekraai's rights were violated
because a jailhouse informant in an adjacent cell enticed Dekraai to make
statements that were recorded. But on Friday, May 2, Dekraai went back to
Superior Court and pleaded guilty to all eight murders, telling the judge,
"It's the right thing to do, your honor."
Prosecutors were quick to point out that this was not a plea bargain and
they are still seeking the death penalty. The judge is expected to rule
on that matter in June after fully examining defense allegations regarding
the informant. Even if the judge leaves the death penalty on the table,
Dekraai's fate is not expected to be placed into the hands of a jury until
some time next year.
After the May 2 hearing, N6DAC's son Paul Caouette is quoted as saying
that he does not believe that Dekraai is remorseful and that if anybody
deserves the death penalty, he does. From Orange County, California, this
is Joe Moell, K0OV for Amateur Radio Newsline.
--
Dekraai still faces eight life sentences without the possibility of parole
if the judge rules out the death penalty. (K0OV from published news

RESTRUCTURING: CANADIAN HAMS GRANTED ACCESS TO 472 TO 479 KHZ
Hams in Canada will soon have access to the 472 to 479 Kilohertz band.
This with the release of the new Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations
by telecommunications regulator Industry Canada.
While approved by the International Telecommunications Union at WRC 2012
each country had to implement regulations for its amateurs before the band
is available. Operations are subject to the international foot notes,
which limit power to 5 watts effective radiated power except in certain
areas within 500 miles of certain other countries.
Radio Amateurs of Canada says that its Zero to Thirty Megahertz Band
Planning Committee will be proposing a suitable band plan to enable best
use of this new very narrow band. Canadian hams with comments and
suggestions can send them to the committee via e-mail to rachq (at)
rac.ca.
Canadian amateur operators have recently secured two new segments of
spectrum thanks to the hard work of their national society. The 60 meter
band channels were made official a few month ago as well. (RAC)

RESCUE RADIO: HAMS RESPOND TO MIDWEST TORNADOES
Ham radio volunteers affiliated with SKYWARN and ARES were called out when
an outbreak of severe weather raked across about one third of the United
States beginning on Sunday, April 27th. Amateur Radio Newsline's Bruce
Tennant, K6PZW has more:
--
The powerful thunderstorms across the Midwest and South, sparked a deadly
outbreak of severe weather that would span five days and sweep across 20
states. The brutal weather system soon spawned a series of lethal
tornadoes, torrential downpours, life-threatening floods, wind gusts up to
80 miles per hour and a number of landslides. At least 34 deaths occurred
in Oklahoma, Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee with hundreds of
injuries also reported.
Mike Corey KI1U, is the ARRL Emergency Preparedness Manager. He said he
had received reports of weather observations from hams involved in SKYWARN
helping by providing tornado warnings issued by the National Weather
Service. Corey said that many people heeded those warnings sheltered in
underground bunkers as homes and buildings buckled above them.
According to Corey, in one instance, SKYWARN volunteers traced a tornado's
movement throughout Arkansas. While forecasters watched by radar, they
also were able to monitor real time reports from SKYWARN on one of its
nets. All of these sightings came from very reliable on-the-ground
observations.
With the severe weather of late spring and summer now here, SKYWARN and
Amateur Radio Emergency Service volunteers across the Midwest and South
Central states will be on stand-by alert for some time.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bruce Tennant, K6PZW, reporting.

According to the ARRL, members of the Amateur Radio Emergency Service were
also involved as severe rainstorms led to flood warnings being issued for
some areas. (ARRL, other published news reports)

HAM RADIO IN SPACE: KICKSAT SPRITE DEPLOYMENT MAY NOT HAPPEN
An unexpected reset of the master clock on KickSat may mean that the
deployment of the 104 Sprite 437 MHz micro-satellites will not take place
before the KickSat CubeSat burns up as it reenters the Earths atmosphere.
It appears the reset happened some time in the morning of Wednesday, April
30th and was not the result of a power issue as the batteries have been
holding steady around 6.5 volts. Rather it seems the likely cause was
radiation setting the deployment countdown for KickSat back to 16 days.
Controllers of KickSat have been trying every possible contingency.
KickSat's uplink radio which could use to command the deployment, can't
turn on unless the batteries reach 8 volts, and it doesn't look like
they'll reach that level in time. (KD2BHC)

ENFORCEMENT: FCC ISSUES CITATION TO WASHINGTON STATE RESIDENT OVER
INTERFERENCE TO 40 METERS
A Washington sate resident has been warned by the FCC that he could face
some severe penalties unless he terminates the use of what the regulatory
agency calls an incidental radiator that is interfering with amateur radio
communications in the 40 meter band. Amateur Radio Newsline's Stephen
Kinford, N8WB, has the details:
--
In an April 23rd Citation and Order issued to Thomas Edward Rogers of
Woodinville, the FCC noted that on May 22, 2013, in response to complaints
of interference to licensed Amateur Radio Service operations, an agent
from the Enforcement Bureau's Seattle Office located the source of
transmissions radiating on numerous frequencies between 7 and 8 MHz to Mr.
Rogers residence.
On June 17, 2013, an RFI letter was issued to Mr. Rogers concerning his
responsibilities to resolve radio frequency interference issues. Rogers
did not respond to the letter and the Seattle Office continued to receive
complaints of interference. Agents from the Seattle Office returned to
Rogers' home on October 30, 2013, and confirmed that the signals emanating
from the residence on frequencies between 7 and 8 MHz were still active,
and continued to cause interference to a licensed radio service.
Now, in its Citation and Order the FCC has ordered Thomas Edward Rogers to
stop operating devices that are causing interference to licensed radio
operations and to comply with federal rules and regulations related to
radio frequency devices. This includes consumer and industrial devices
such as lighting ballasts that utilize radio frequencies in their
operation. Failure to take action to resolve the interference may result
in severe penalties, including fines of up to $16,000 per day.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, Im Stephen Kinford, N8WB, reporting
--
Rogers was also given 30 calendar days to respond in writing to the
Citation and must state that he has ceased operating the incidental
radiators and describe the specific actions taken or planned to eliminate
all harmful interference. The response must be signed under penalty of
perjury. (FCC)
**
ENFORCEMENT: LOUISVILLE UNLICENSED BROADCASTER FACES $15000 NAL
The FCC has proposed a penalty of $15,000 against Jose Alejandro Aguilar
for apparently operating an unlicensed radio station in Louisville,
Kentucky. The Commission says that it had previously warned Aguilar in
person that such unlicensed operations are illegal and he admitted that he
operated the radio station without a license. But says the FCC, Jose
Aguilar continued to operate the radio station notwithstanding the
warning. This says the regulatory agency says that this demonstrates a
deliberate disregard for the Commission's authority and its rules and as
such warrants a significant penalty. Agular was given the usual 30 days
to pay or to file an appeal. (FCC)
**
RADIO RULES: FCC COMMISSIONER PAI WANTS AM REVITALIZATION SHOULD BE
COMPLETED BY END OF OCTOBER
FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai has set the end of October as the target for
getting the regulatory agency's AM Revitalization plan completed. He made
that commitment on Monday, May 5th in a speech to the Pennsylvania
Association of Broadcasters gathered in Hershey Pennsylvania.
During his talk, Pai said that time isn't on the side of the grand old AM
band, so he wants to commit to getting the FCC's work done by Haloween.
Pai noted that the FCC proposals will not be a panacea for the real
problems confronting AM broadcasters, that they will help. He added that
he plans to hold a series of meetings with stakeholders to discuss these
proposals. (B&C)

RESCUE RADIO: HWN LOOKING FOR MORE NET CONTROL STATIONS
The Hurricane Watch Net that provides communications to and from hurricane
threatened and affected areas is looking to add to its roster of net
control stations.
In addition to severe weather spotting, Net Control Stations have added
responsibilities that include the relaying of weather reports to and from
the National Hurricane Center in Miami and to other net controllers as
long as a storm is within 300 miles of the U.S. coast. They also spend a
time monitoring the Hurricane Watch Net on-line chat room for developments
coming their way via the Internwt.
Living in a location on the East Coast or Gulf Coast is desirable as are
bi-lingual operators. Prospective members in Latin America or the
Caribbean are needed as well.

EMERGING TECHNOLOGY: SPIN WAVES INCREASE SOLID STATE EFFICIENCY
Something new called Spin waves could make electronics one thousand times
more efficient than current machines. This by using magnetic materials to
control the passage of electrons through transistor switches. Here's
Amateur Radio Newsline's Heather Embee, KB3TZD:
--
As computers become more advanced, the silicon chips that house the
infinitely small switches that make up logic gates used to perform
computing functions get smaller and smaller. As the chips and switches
get smaller and more are squeezed closer together however, it gets harder
to keep the electrons flowing where they need to without jumping to other
components.
Now researchers at UCLA found that by introducing multiferroic magnetic
materials they created a switch that could be turned on or off simply by
applying alternating voltage. This creates an oscillating electric field
within a piezoelectric material which generates spin waves that induced
along a nickel film. These steps cause power to move through the material
in a wave that matches the oscillation frequency of the electromagnetic
field called a spin wave bus.
The difference between using spin waves to carry electrons and letting
them flow naturally is similar to the difference between a river and wave.
By powering future devices by varying the amount of voltage used, less
power is used over-all by virtue of the low voltage part of the wave. At
the same time the leaking transistor problem is solved, eliminating wasted
power and allowing for the potential that spin waves could make
electronics one thousand times more efficient in the future.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Heather Embee, KB3TZD, reporting.

WORLDBEAT: ICASA AWARDS LONG-TERM 5MHZ LICENSE TO SARL
Some good news out of South Africa. Almost a year ago the South African
Radio League obtained a license from the Independent Communications
Authority of South Africa or ICASA to do propagation research on 5250 and
5260 kilohertz. This work is in support the 2015 World Radio Conference
agenda item 1.4 which will consider a possible new allocation to the
amateur service from 5250 to 5450 kHz.
To support the agenda item propagation conditions, frequency sharing
studies on the impact to other services currently allocated in the band
and in the adjacent bands would need to be carried out. So last year the
South Africa Radio League submitted a proposal to the Council of ICASA for
the sponsorship of long term license. The South Africa Radio League has
now received the official license which is valid through October 31st of
2015.
Now, in association with the Kempton Park Amateur Radio Technical Society
some early result of the recent WSPR (pronounced wisper) digital mode
experiment have been released. More about on this is at www.sarl.org.za
on the propagation research page. (SARL)

WORLDBEAT: HAM RADIO IN DR. WHO THEME MUSIC ARTICLE
Amateur radio got a very brief mention in an article on making music for
the British Doctor Who series from broadcast test equipment at the
Radiophonic Workshop. The story in the United Kingdom newspaper the
Register titled "Delia and the Doctor: How to cook up a tune for a Time
Lord." Among other things it describes the BBC's Wobulator which was
basically a Beat Frequency Oscillator used by hams to receive CW and SSB
and how it was used in the creation of the tune. (Southgate)

THAT FINAL ITEM: ASIAN TREK FOR RADIO HAM'S B-47 PARTY BALLOON
And finally this week, another success for Leo Bondar, MZ0XER and his long
duration radio balloon flights equipped with ham radio positioning gear.
Here's Amateur Radio Newsline's Hal Rogers, K8CMD, with the details:
--
Last week it was Leo Bondar's floater balloon called B 46 which flew from
the United Kingdom Eastward over Greenland and then looping back over
Europe and finally ending its adventure near the Ukrainian border. Now
comes Leo's balloon B 47 which was launched on Monday, April 28th. It
spent the next 8 days floating across Europe and Asia at an altitude of
around 39,000 feet, all the while sending back telemetry on 434.500 MHz
Upper Sideband using the amateur radio data mode Contestia 8/250.
B 47's journey took it from its launch point in the United Kingdom, then
over the English Channel to France, Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, Ukraine,
Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China, North Korea before flying over Japan
where it was last reported on Monday, May 5th. From there it was headed
out North East over the Sea of Okhotsk toward the Bering Sea on a direct
course toward Alaska if it makes it that far. If it does go out to sea,
tracking may be difficult for a while as there are very few land masses
over most of the projected flight path. Depending on the altitude, the 12
gram, three foot balloon could have had a radio range of between 180 and
300 miles but that may be out of range of any tracking station as B 47
floats along.
