Altho not stated, I would suggest that you take note of the frequencies in use and stay clear of them so that emergency communications can be handled. Hurricane Matthew is crossing the Caribbean heading toward Jamaica, Haiti and Cuba. The American Hurricane Watch Net is operating on 14.325 and 7.268 MHz as the storm works its way through the region. CO2KK reports the Cuba National Emergency Net is operating on 7110 primary, 7120 secondary in the daytime, with provincial nets on 7045, 7080 and possibly others. At night the primary is 3740 and secondary 3720. The main net control station is CO9DCN, operating from the Cuban National Civil Defense Headquarters, in Havana, with CO2JC in charge. Volunteer hams across the island nation are going portable to check on flooding of rivers and roads and plan to report in. The Dominican Republic on Cuba's eastern neighbor, the island of Hispaniola, is using 7065 kHz LSB for emergency communications.

Over the past few years I?ve found only one or two items of note regarding our Division and its? history. It made me realize that there was no central repository for items of a historical nature that dealt specifically with the Hudson Division. There appears to be a dearth of these materials. There have been conventions, both Division and National, in the Hudson Division going back to the 1930s, clubs galore with their own QSL cards, newsletters that were sent to members by Division leadership, and so forth. So before it?s too late, and while we still have members who have squirreled away copies of these materials in filing cabinets or basement boxes, I am reaching out to the Division and asking that you consider one of two things. First, please consider parting with these materials and letting me take them. I?ll scan them, put them up on the Division website to share with the members, and then pass them on to succeeding Directors as the keepers of our story. If you would prefer not to part with them, then please consider scanning the items for placing on the website. Items would include: Convention programs, Director newsletters (yes, they used to be printed and mailed), Club QSL cards, QSL cards of operators of note, pins, badges, etc., etc. Please let me know what you have.

Message-ID: After 16 years the Ericsson VHF radio on the ISS Columbus Module is no longer working. The crew is using the Kenwood in the Russian Module for all ham contacts. The Kenwood was used for an APRS digipeater, which is offline now as well till a solution is met Article below is from ARISS.org Gene 73 KC2WDZ Current Amateur Radio Status on board the International Space Station (ISS) The VHF handheld radio model that has been used by the ARISS program to connect students worldwide with astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) for over 16 years has given an error message and is unusable at this time. While the ARISS technical team evaluates the best path to restore operation from the Columbus module, ARISS contacts will be supported using the Kenwood radio in the Russian Service Module. During this period, the packet digipeater will be unavailable. Switching to the 70 cm radio capability on board the Columbus module for some operations is being coordinated. Expect further updates as we work to resolve this problem.

Christopher LaRue, W4ADL, of North Las Vegas, is proposing that any licensee obtaining a vanity call sign be required to keep it for the full license term. LaRue contends in his petition that excessive and frequent vanity call sign filings are hampering the ability of other qualified licensees to obtain vanity call signs in one of the more desirable 1 x 2 or 2 x 1 formats. LaRue said that since the FCC dropped the fee to file for a vanity call sign, some applicants are taking advantage by regularly obtaining new call signs, thereby keeping them out of circulation. The petition can be found on the web in PDF format at, https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/1004220986407/Petition%20.pdf . "Some are changing call signs almost monthly, just to keep the newer code-free Extra class operators from obtaining a shorter call sign," he said in his petition. "I even saw an older operator that said he does it all the time and has not even owned a radio in over 6 years. When I looked him up, he has had 16 different [call signs] in 18 months." LaRue said his proposed minor rule change would require any licensee applying for and obtaining an Amateur Radio vanity call sign "be required to keep it for the duration of the license, which is currently 10 years." He said this would "alleviate a lot of the stress on the ULS system and manpower requirements" at the FCC. "It will also keep inactive amateurs from changing call signs regularly, thereby tying up call signs for 2 years after dismissal of said call." Interested parties may comment using the FCC Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS) at, https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/ . Comments are due within 30 days of the October 26 posting date.
