RADIO POLITICS: RAC SAYS CANADA WILL PROPOSE WORLDWIDE 60 METER
ALLOCATION AT CITEL MEETING
Radio Amateurs of Canada has announced an agreement with that that
nation's telecommunications agencies to back the society's formal proposal
to create a world-wide 60 meter ham radio allocation. One that would be
introduced for discussion at WRC 2015.
According to the Radio Amateurs of Canada, this proposal will be brought
up at the Inter-American Telecommunication Commission or CITEL meetings
in Merida, Mexico next month. This, to be considered as Canada's position
going in to WRC 2015 and proposes two 25 KHz band segments for amateurs.
The first would be from 5.330 to 5.355 MHz and the second beginning at
5.405 and ending at 5.430 MHz. Amateur access would be on a
non-interfering secondary basis which is a standard operating approach
already in force for several other amateur radio allocations.
Radio Amateurs of Canada says that although this is very good news, that
the process is still ongoing. The final decision as to whether or not to
create this new band will be made next year at WRC 2015. But says Radio
Amateurs of Canada, presenting a firm proposal from that nation with
specific frequencies for support by the International Telecommunications
Union Region 2 countries is a giant step toward a favorable outcome next
year. (RAC)

RADIO LAW: OFCOM PROPOSES CHANGES TO UK HAM RADIO LICENSING
United Kingdom telecommunications regulator Ofcom has published a 32 page
proposal covering possible changes to that nations amateur radio
licensing.
In summary, the changes proposed are to drop what are termed as Regional
Secondary Locators; relax how UK hams use their callsigns on the air and
provide access to 470 kHz and 5 MHZ for Full Class license holders without
the need for each to file for special permission. Also covered are
several changes dealing with club license ownership.
The consultation or commentary period on these proposals runs through
October 20th. If approved these could come into effect in April of 2015.

HAM RADIO IN SPACE: 4M-LXS LUNAR HAM RADIO PAYLOAD
China plans to launch a Lunar circling spacecraft carrying a ham radio
experiment and returning it safely back to Earth. Amateur Radio
Newsline's Heather Embee, KB3TZD, has the details:
--
Hot on the tail of last week's announcement by Japan that it plans to send
a ham radio payload to an asteroid comes word that China will send some
ham radio gear around our Moon and then bring it back home.
The ham radio payload is known as 4M-LXS. It was developed by Lux Space
of Betzdorf, Luxembourg and is slated for launch as a part of a 196 hour
China sponsored Moon circling mission in late October.
The amateur radio payload will weigh only 30 pounds and will transmit on
145.980 MHz plus or minus 2.9 kHz. The transmitter will be able to
produce 1.5 watts fed to a simple monopole antenna. This should give a
Signal to Noise ratio comparable to amateur moon bounce signals returning
at the Earth's surface.
During the lunar flyby, the spacecraft will be 248,000 miles from Earth
and the distance to the Moon form the spacecraft will be between 7500 to
and 15,000 miles depending on the final injection vector.
The continuous transmissions will start 77 point 8 minutes after launch
with five successive 1 minute sequences sent during each 5 minutes
transmit cycle. The digital mode J T 65 B will be used so as to permit
hams using the free WSJT software to decode it.
Lux Space is encouraging radio amateurs around the world to receive the
transmissions and send in data that they can capture. A Java client will
be made available to automatically send the decoded files to a central
database. That address will be made available before the flight on the
Lux Space Facebook page. As we go to air, the launch is expected to take
place on October 23rd at 1800 UTC.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline. I'm Heather Embee, KB3TZD, reporting.

The ham radio payload 4M-LXS stands for the Manfred Memorial Moon Mission.
It was named in memory of the late Professor Manfred Fuchs who was the
founder and chairman of OHB group, of Bremen, Germany who passed away last
April 27th. A complete mission outline is on the web at
tinyurl.com/China-Moon-Flyby. (AMSAT-UK, LUXSpace, others)

HAM RADIO IN SPACE: ISS SSTV BACK ON THE AIR
Slow Scan Television appears to be once again operational from the
International Space Station.
On Saturday, September 6, the ISS Slow Scan Television experiment was
activated from the Russian Service Module on 145.800 MHz FM. This
following an unsuccessful test back on August 27th using the Kenwood
TM-D710 transceiver and a new cable that was not entirely successful. At
that time only the carrier was detected but no SSTV audio tones were
heard.
By September 6th the earlier issue was rectified and radio amateurs on the
ground were treated to a day of Slow Scan television transmissions of
images devoted to the life and work of Russia's first cosmonaut Yuri
Gagarin. The pictures were in the PD180 SSTV format with an additional
voice commentary. (AMSAT-UK, ISS Fan Club, Southgate, others)

PROPAGATION: LONG DURATION CME EXPECTED ON SEPTEMBER 12
If propagation seems a bit strange you can once again blame it on our home
star as we hear from Amateur Radio Newsline's Bruce Tennant, K6PZW:
--
At 17:46 UTC on Wednesday September 10th, Sunspot AR2158 erupted producing
an X1 point 6 level solar flare. A flash of ultraviolet radiation from
the solar blast ionized the upper layers of Earth's atmosphere, disturbing
High Frequency radio communications for more than an hour. More
importantly, the explosion hurled a Coronal Mass Ejection or CME directly
toward Earth.
Radio emissions from shock waves at the leading edge of the CME suggest
that the cloud tore away from the sun at speeds as high as 3750 kilometers
per second. That would make this a very fast moving storm, and likely to
reach Earth before on or before September 13th.
That eruption was preceded by a smaller event. At zero thirty hours on
the morning of September 9th the magnetic canopy of sunspot AR2158
erupted, producing a long-duration solar flare and a bright Coronal Mass
Ejection.
That CME which shot away from the Sun at nearly 1,000 kilometers a second
had an Earth-directed component. As such, space scientists said that a
glancing but powerful blow was possible during the late hours of September
11th or in the early hours of September 12th.
NOAA forecasters then issued a geomagnetic storm warning for September
12th noting that the storm could reach a G2 class moderate intensity event
with auroras visible across northern-tier US states such as Maine,
Michigan, and Minnesota.
Most of that celestial storm cloud was heading north of the sun-Earth
line, but not all. A fraction of this earlier CME will deliver a glancing
blow to Earth's magnetic field during the early hours of the 12th at about
the time that this newscast goes to air.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bruce Tennant K6PZW, in Los Angeles.
--
In the past few weeks, glancing blows from minor CME's have sparked
beautiful auroras around the Arctic Circle. More information on these
events is always available at spaceweather.com.

DX UP FRONT: US ANTARCTICA STATIONS JOIN LOTW
In DX up-front, K1IED who is the QSL Manager for United States Antarctic
stations KC4AAA, KC4AAC and KC4USV says that all three are now using
Logbook of the World. K1IED notes that logs from the past two years, as
well some that are older have already been uploaded. Also some other
older logs could be uploaded in the future as well. (OPDX)

DX UP FRONT: FOLLOW-UP ON JH1AJT FOUNDATION FOR GLOBAL CHILDREN ERITREA
TRIP
And an update on our story last week concerning the visit of Zorro
Miyazawa, JH1AJT, to the State of Eritrea as a part of a mission for the
Foundation for Global Children. According to the latest news release he
will be occupied by full of meetings during Tuesday 16th to Friday 19th
with very little chance of getting on the air. As of now, he hopes to
finally become operational on Saturday the 20th and Sunday 21st for a
total of about 20 hours depending on the time he needs to sleep. He
likely will shut down the station in the evening of Monday the 22nd and
should back in Japan by noon on Wednesday September 24th. (JA1TRC)

RADIO LAW: FCC RECONSIDERING BROADBAND ASPECT OF NET NEUTRALITY
The Federal Communications Commission appears to be taking a second look
at how it treats wireless net neutrality. This, in response to public
comments on the agency's proposed Open Internet access rules. Amateur
Radio Newsline's Stephan Kinford, N8WB, reports:
--
Under the net neutrality rules the FCC put in place back in 2010, wireless
broadband was set apart from wired Internet access. As a result, mobile
service providers were given more leeway to treat some streams of traffic
differently from others. But that distinction is a major concern for many
of those who have commented on the agency's newest Net Neutrality
proposal.
According to news reports, FCC Chairman Thomas Wheeler has been quoted as
saying that an open Internet encourages innovation. This says Wheeler
drives network use leading to more infrastructure build-out and that
mobile wireless broadband is a key component of that cycle.
Wheeler went on to say that mobile operators have claimed they don't need
the same degree of net neutrality regulation as wired broadband providers
because the wireless industry is more competitive. But says the FCC
chairman, that logic doesn't necessarily follow noting that there was
plenty of mobile carrier competition in the era before independent
applications stores when carriers approved all apps.
Wheeler said that while carriers should be allowed reasonable management
to ensure their networks run properly that the FCC will hold them strictly
to that definition. He also cited his recent letter to Verizon Wireless
that admonished the carrier's plan to throttle speeds for some subscribers
with unlimited data plans.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline. I'm Stephan Kinford, N8WB, reporting.
--
According to FCC Chairman Wheeler, the wireless industry's role has
changed since 2010, with broadband services delivering higher speeds that
in some places as compared to wired services. In 2010, there were only
200,000 Long Term Evolution or LTE subscribers in the United States. Now,
only four years later there are 120 million, with the potential of
networks reaching 300 million residents. (Published News Reports)

ENFORCEMENT: TWO HAMS RECEIVE WARNINGS REGARING FAILING TO PROPERLY ID
Two radio amateurs have been sent nearly identical warning letters from
the FCC. This, concerning their alleged failure to properly identify
their stations at regular intervals.
The letters which were sent to Gary E. Davis, W1IT and John J. Krajewski,
KB3MZQ. In them, FCC Special Council Laura Smith notes that each of the
operators was heard at the Commission's High Frequency Direction Finding
Center this past July 15th and 16th as failing to properly identify their
amateur stations while operating on 7.185 MHz.
In her letters to the operators Smith said that this type of is contrary
to the basis and purpose of the amateur radio service as set out in
Section 97.1 and is a violation of Section 97.119(a) of the Commission's
rules. Smith went on to say that the letters to the two hams are meant to
serve as a notice that, if operation of this type reoccurs after their
receipt that each operator could be subject to severe penalties. This
includes the possibilities of a monetary forfeiture, a modification
proceeding to restrict the frequencies upon which each may operate or even
license revocation.

ENFORCEMENT: NEW ZEALAND EXPANDS PROHIBITION ON ANIMAL TRAINING RF GEAR
New Zealand is cracking down on prohibited radio frequency devices used
for animal management. This as the nation's telecommunications
authorities expand the terminology applied to control the illegal import,
distribution and use of these units.
Most of the illegal devices operate on 151.82, 151.88, 151.94, 154.57 and
154.60 MHz as permitted in the United States. However, these frequencies
are in direct conflict with licensed land mobile services in New Zealand
and cause interference its users. As a result of the expanded terminology
of the law New Zealand Customs is actively intercepting such equipment
when and where it is found entering the country. (NZART, WIA)

RADIO LAW: MAJOR INCREASE ANNOUNCED FOR VANITY CALL FEE
The cost of getting a 10 year amateur radio vanity license is going up by
a lot but down by not by very much. Sound confusing? Well here's what
has taken place.
The current Vanity Fee is $16.10. FCC had originally anticipated that the
new fee would be $21.60 but the Report and Order released in late August
came in at $21.40 or 40 cents less than originally proposed.
It should be noted that during its deliberations that the commission had
considered excluding broadcast auxiliaries, FM translators and amateur
radio vanity call fees from its regulatory fees categories. The agency
says that for now that it is retaining these fees because it currently
cannot say for with certainty whether the cost of recovery and burden on
small entities outweighs the collected revenue; or whether eliminating the
fee would adversely affect the licensing process.
The good news in all this is that the FCC says that it will review these
categories again at some future date. None the less, this new Vanity Call
Sign fee increase is the largest upward adjustment in many years. All
these fees go into affect 30 days after publication in the Federal
Register. (FCC, RW)

RADIO LAW: GAO SAYS FCC NEEDS MORE DATA ON TV STATION SHARING AGREEMENTS
The Federal Communications Commission may have problems ensuring that its
regulations on shared arrangements by TV stations meet the agency's goals
on competition and diversity. This according to the United States General
Accounting Office is because it lacks basic data to do so. Amateur Radio
Newsline's Jim Davis, W2JKD, picks up the story from here:
--
At the request of Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller, the
GAO spent a year investigating the impact of shared service agreements
between TV stations to jointly sell advertising, produce and acquire
programming, or to share news or other equipment and resources.
Through interviews, a review of filings and documents, and a case study in
six markets, the GAO found it difficult to objectively determine how such
agreements affect the FCC's policy goals of competition, localism and
diversity in the broadcasting industry.
In conclusion, the GAO found that TV stations were increasingly sharing
services but said that the limited data on how prevalent those agreements
were was not available. Neither the FCC nor industry representatives
could point to a central data source to track such agreements.
I'm Jim Davis, W2JKD.

HAM HAPPENINGS: SPRINGFIELD MISSOURI ADDED TO ROUTE 66 EVENT
The amateur radio bands have been very busy this past week with the 15th
annual "On the Air Route 66" special event. This year was very important
to hams in Springfield, Missouri . This is the recognized birthplace of
Route 66 and in 2014 it was added to the list of cities along the road
that runs from Chicago to Los Angeles.
The Southwest Missouri Amateur Radio Club played host to special event
station W6R and kicked off the event with a Field Day - like operation
from the historic Route 66 park. That's very close to the location where
the telegram was sent to Washington, DC in 1926 giving the highway the
name Route 66. Certificates, decals and QSL cards are available at
W6JBT.org. The event ends on September 15th. (K9EID)

CHANGING OF THE GUARD: TUSKEGEE AIRMAN AND CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDAL
RECIPIENT GEORGE MITCHELL K6ZE - SK
Lifelong amateur radio operator George T. Mitchell, K6ZE, of San Diego,
California, passed away on September 4th at the age of 94.
During World War 2 George T. Mitchell was a member of the pioneering black
aviators known as the Tuskegee Airmen. Mitchell, who built his first
amateur station at age 12, was responsible for teaching radio operations
and the Morse code to the aviation cadets at the Tuskegee Institute in
Alabama from 1943 to 1946. Following the war he went to work as a
civilian engineer for the United States Navy. He retired to San Diego,
but eventually returned to work for the Scripps Institute of Oceanography.
In 2007, in recognition with his service with the Tuskegee Airmen, K6ZE,
was a co-recipient of the Congressional Gold Medal which is the United
States' highest civilian award.
George T. Mitchell, was a member of many amateur radio groups, including
the OMIK Amateur Radio Association, the Air Force Flyers Club, the Old Old
Timers Club and the Quarter Century Wireless Association. He was a member
of the B.O. Davis Chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen's Association and
frequently spoke to school and civic groups about the role these American
heroes played in our nation's history.
George T. Mitchell, K6ZE, was preceded in death in by his first wife
Lillian. He is survived by his second wife D'Andrea Mitchell, sons Brian
Stokes Mitchell of New York City, George Mitchell, of Los Angeles, Richard
Mitchell, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, daughter, Lorna Mitchell of Fresno,
California and stepsons Deon and Robert Coons, both of San Diego.

EMERGING TECHNOLOGY: 80M HAM RADIO BAND USED FOR 2012 WIDEBAND VIDEO AND
DATA STUDY
A report on 2012 trials in the United Kingdom that used 3.613 MHz for 24
kHz bandwidth high-speed data and video transmissions is now available to
the public. It notes that by using modern modulation techniques an SSB
channel can support a raw data rate of 12,800 bits per second and wider
transmissions can support proportionally faster data rates.
In recent years there has been increasing military interest in high-speed
data transmissions on the High Frequency bands. Experiments have shown
that color video at 15 frames per second can be streamed on HF in a
bandwidth of just 18 kHz. That is the type of bandwidth that may possibly
be accommodated in the 29 MHz amateur radio band.
More information on this experimentation can be found in a very
fascinating article with the long title of "Wide Band High Frequency
Communications 2012 UK Trials Summary" prepared by James Alexander of
Rockwell Collins Corporation. You can find it in cyberspace at
tinyurl.com/hf-video-testing (KC0DGY, Southgate, others)

WORLDBEAT: US-TO-VK TRANS-PACIFIC RECEPTION ON 630 METERS REPORTED
The ARRL reports a radio amateur and medium-frequency experimenter in
Australia has received a 475.62 kHz transmission from a radio amateur and
Part 5 Experimental operator in Texas.
John Langridge, KB5NJD, in Texas, also holds Experimental license WG2XIQ.
He says that his digital WSPR signal was heard in Australia on August 25
at 09:52 UTC by David Isele, VK2DDI.
While the approximately 8710 miles covered is not a distance record or a
first for that part of the electromagnetic spectrum, it does represent the
sort of accomplishments that hams in the United States might one day come
to enjoy if ever an amateur radio allocation is approved by the FCC. More

HAM RADIO IN SPACE: MODE-J TRANSPONDER ON JAPAN'S NEW NEXUS CUBESAT
The Japan AMSAT Association and students at the Nippon University are
jointly developing a CubeSat called NEXUS which will have a 145 to 435 MHz
Mode-J transponder and a 38 dot 4 kilobits per second data downlink.
NEXUS is an acronym of "Next Education Cross Unique Satellite." It will
be one unit CubeSat with a mass of between 2 and 3 pounds. If all goes as
planned, the tiny bird will provide radio communications via its 145 to
435 MHz transponder; the ability to download 640 by 480 megapixel photos
from its on-board camera; provide the data downlink at 38 point 4 kilobits
per second using QPSK and more.
A launch opportunity for NEXUS has not yet been identified. Nippon
University students have previously developed the SEEDS and SPROUT
satellites. (JAMSAT )

THAT FINAL ITEM: 90TH ANNIVERSARY OF FOR FIRST NZ TO UK CONTACT
And finally this week, the New Zealand Amateur Radio Transmitters which is
that nations national society has issued an update on preparations to
celebrate the 90th anniversary of the first two-way radio communication
between that nation and the United Kingdom. Amateur Radio Newslines's Jim
Meachen, ZL2BHF, reports from down-under:
--
On October 18, 1924, Frank Bell, 4AA, in Shag Valley, South Island, NZ
contacted Cecil Goyder, who was operating as 2SZ from the Mill Hill school
station in the United Kingdom.
New Zealand's Otago Branch 30 of the NZART is celebrating the 90th
anniversary of this radio contact that changed radio communication forever
as it established new and initially the then little understood rules of
short wave communication.
In preparation for the celebration, working partys are being held to test
the antenna while quite a bit of effort is going on arranging and sourcing
equipment. So far, two visits have been made to Johnny Bell and his
family who are the 6th generation of the Bell family at the Shag Valley
Station location.
The attempt to recreate the contact will take place on Saturday October
18th at around 06:30 UTC or 19:30 New Zealand Daylight time which is the
actual time of the original contact. This attempt will take place on 80
meters which is as close to the original frequency as possible. Later
operations will include 40, 20, 17, 15 and 10 meters. IRLP node 6507 will
be on the club's 690 VHF repeater as well.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Jim Meachen, ZL2BHF, in Nelson, New
Zealand.
--
According to the latest update anybody is welcome to come and visit the
station or assist with operating it at any time during the week long
celebration. If you plan to do so just drop an e-mail to president (at)
ZL4AA.org.nz so that they will know that you plan to attend. More is
on-line at www.ZL4AA.org.nz and clicking the "90th Anniversary" tab.
