Today, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission or FCC) approved Report and Order 14-987af which reinstates the Morse Code test for General Class and Amateur Extra Class licensees. ?It was a big mistake eliminating the Morse Code test,? admits Dotty Dasher, the FCC?s director of examinations. ?We now realize that being able to send and receive Morse Code is an essential skill for radio amateurs. As they say, it really does get through when other modes can?t.? Not only will new applicants have to take the test, but General Class licensees who have never passed a code test will have one year to pass a 5-wpm code test. Similarly, Amateur Extra class licensees that never passed a code test will have one year to pass a 13-wpm test. Those amateurs that fail to pass the test will face revocation of their operating privileges. Materials for administering the examinations will be distributed to Volunteer Examiner Coordinators by the end of April, so that they can begin the testing on May 1, 2016. ?This isn?t going to be one of those silly multiple-choice type tests,? noted Dasher. ?We?re going to be sending five-character random code groups, just like we did in the old days. And, applicants will have to prove that they can send, too, using a poorly adjusted straight key.? Technician Class licensees will not be required to take a Morse Code test, nor will a test be required for new applicants. ?We discussed it,? said Dasher, ?but decided that since most Techs can?t even figure out how to program their HTs, requiring them to learn Morse Code seemed like cruel and unusual punishment.? When asked what other actions we might see from the FCC, Dasher hinted that in the future applicants taking the written exam may be required to draw circuit diagrams, such as Colpitts oscillators and diode ring mixers, once again. ?We?re beginning to think that if an applicant passes an amateur radio license exam it should mean that he or she actually knows something,? she said.

It was a big mistake eliminating the Morse Code test, admits Dotty Dasher, the FCCs director of examinations.

Those amateurs that fail to pass the test will face revocation of their operating privileges. Materials for administering the examinations will be distributed to Volunteer Examiner Coordinators by the end of April, so that they can begin the testing on May 1, 2016. This isnt going to be one of those silly multiple-choice type tests, noted Dasher. Were going to be sending five-character random code groups, just like we did in the old days. And, applicants will have to prove that they can send, too, using a poorly adjusted straight key. Technician Class licensees will not be required to take a Morse Code test, nor will a test be required for new applicants. We discussed it, said Dasher, but decided that since most Techs cant even figure out how to program their HTs, requiring them to learn Morse Code seemed like cruel and unusual punishment. When asked what other actions we might see from the FCC, Dasher hinted that in the future applicants taking the written exam may be required to draw circuit diagrams, such as Colpitts oscillators and diode ring mixers, once again. Were beginning to think that if an applicant passes an amateur radio license exam it? should mean that he or she actually knows something, she said. For further information, contact James X.

As you know, for the past month we have been collecting data regarding malicious interference to the metro New York repeaters. Over this past weekend, we are informed that an allegedly unlicensed individual was arrested and was charged, in part, with making an unlicensed radio call on an NYPD frequency. It is my understanding that the phone number of the Assistant District Attorney who is handling this case has become public knowledge and is circulating around. Some have even said that they have been told to call the ADA. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. I do not know who is responsible for this misinformation. Whoever told anyone to call the ADA is wrong. Please do not call anyone in law enforcement or in any way connected with the criminal case. Your complaints are not relevant in any way. I especially want to address the members of LIMARC, who have been the folks who have suffered the most from malicious interference over the past decade. I understand and share your frustration. I have asked your president to ask the club to no longer circulate the ADA?s phone number, to not call, and to not take any action at this time. Over the past month I have been in touch with the FCC and there has been movement in connection with Amateur Radio malicious interference in our area. Let?s continue the path we?ve been following recently and see this issue through to a successful and permanent conclusion. Thanks so much for the good work that you have done in support of our effort. You have done a great job. 73 de Mike N2YBB -------------------------------------------------------------------- ARRL Hudson Division Director: Mike Lisenco, N2YBB n2ybb at arrl.org -------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from messages, go to: http://p1k.arrl.org/oo/abf71bd1382fe1d2c44196f91e26e646 From drumor at optonline.net Tue Apr 19 10:38:35 2016 From: drumor at optonline.net (E.

This column is going out to 385 clubs. We should hit 400 soon! 73, Dan KB6NU ===== start column ====== I'm EXTRA Ignorant By Dan Romanchik, KB6NU On Sunday, I received the following e-mail from a reader: "Just wanted to let you know I passed the General exam using your study guide. It was very helpful. I am now generally ignorant whereas before I was only technically ignorant. Ha!" My reply to him was: "Well, if you're generally ignorant, I guess that makes me EXTRA ignorant!" This isn't just a joke--being ignorant is part of the hobby. Amateur radio operators will always be ignorant about something or other. Even if you could master every facet of the hobby at some point in time, your mastery would be short-lived as the technology continued to advance. Over the course of my amateur radio career, we've gone from equipment that primarily used vacuum tubes, to solid-state gear that first used discrete transistors and then integrated circuits, to software-defined radios. I could have, at some point, simply given up on the new technology and still enjoyed amateur radio. Some guys do that, and that's OK. It is only a hobby after all. I'm not one of those guys, though, and if you're not one of those guys, then you have to resign yourself to being ignorant. But, that's a good thing, as long as you realize that you're ignorant. Realizing that you're ignorant will spur you on to learn new things and accept new challenges. Recently, I realized that I'm mostly ignorant about satellite operation. I know some of the basics from having read articles and writing about the topic in my study guides, but I have never made a contact using a satellite. I think that might be one of my next challenges. With the advent of CubeSat, there are many new satellites up in the air and many more opportunities to have interesting contacts. So, what are you ignorant about? By that I mean, of course, what's going to be your next challenge in amateur radio? ================================== When he's not challenging himself with new things, Dan falls back on something he knows pretty well--operating CW. You'll find him mainly on the 80m, 40m, and 30m bands. Dan is the author of the "No Nonsense" amateur radio license study guides, and blogs about amateur radio at KB6NU.Com, and you can contact him by e-mailing cwgeek at kb6nu.com. ===== end column ====== From unclefofo at comcast.net Wed Apr 27 14:54:45 2016 From: unclefofo at comcast.net (unclefofo at comcast.net) Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2016 18:54:45 +0000 (UTC) Subject: [ETS/PARC List] HAPPY BIRTHDAY and election In-Reply-To: <1247307434.3627288.1461782200834.JavaMail.zimbra@comcast.net> Message-ID: <2012501912.3645889.1461783285910.JavaMail.zimbra@comcast.net> Good Day Everyone Let me start off by saying tomorrow April 28 is Rodolfo's N2HRJ Birthday.

Candidates should have a working knowledge of radio systems and repeaters ( receivers, transmitters, antennas, duplexers ). Also, much of the system is now computer related, so a knowledge of Linux, Asterisk, and networking is also necessary to maintain the system. There is lots of work ahead to update and re-furbish the current installation. This will be a great opportunity to get involved as we move forward. There will be some discussion at this Friday's meeting. Let me know if you qualify and are interested.
