Oldest, Longest-Licensed US Ham, Educator Charles Hellman, W2RP, SK
02/03/2017

Charles ?Charlie? Hellman, W2RP, of Hastings on Hudson, New York, died on January 25. He was 106 and may have not only been the oldest surviving radio amateur in the US but, at 92 years, also may have been the longest licensed. By 8 days, Hellman outlived Harry Wolf, W6NKT, of Morro Bay, California, who had been considered the oldest US ham when he died<http://www.arrl.org/news/harry-k-wolf-w6nkt-sk-at-107-may-have-been-world-s-oldest-active-radio-amateur> on January 17, just a couple of weeks shy of his 108th birthday.

In 2015, the Quarter Century Wireless Association (QCWA<http://www.qcwa.org/>) honored Hellman with a ?90 Year Continuous Licensed Certificate Award? (No 1). At the time, the QCWA had thought Hellman was the oldest living radio amateur, but announcement of his QCWA honor served to flush out Wolf, who, while not licensed as long as Hellman, was 1 year older. No formal records are kept regarding the oldest or youngest US hams. Hellman joined QCWA in 1975 and was a member of QCWA Chapter 181 in New York?s Hudson Valley. He had been regularly active on the air until a few years before his death, when his backyard tower fell victim to Hurricane Sandy.

First licensed as W2AMK in 1925 when he was 15, Hellman, who had been an ARRL member, went on to become an educator. After working his way through the City College of New York, he taught physics on the secondary level. During World War II, Hellman was tapped by the Department of War to write a textbook for training radio operators, Elements of Radio. Two of Hellman's siblings also held ham tickets. His brother Robert, now deceased, was W2JAN. His brother Benjamin, 96, is W2VB.

QCWA came upon the information regarding Hellman?s age and Amateur Radio tenure when QCWA Webmaster Bob Roske, N0UF, was updating member files. Roske discovered that Hellman was still living in New York and appeared to be the oldest living QCWA member. ? Thanks to Pete Varounis, NL7XM, and Charles Tropp, N2SO

Lucas Register never suspected the equipment he is accused of stealing
from an airport hangar last week would lead authorities right to his door.

But police allegedly followed a homing signal from the stolen
emergency locator transmitter right up to a closet door in his
Winchester apartment Saturday. He was arrested on suspicion of
second-degree burglary and first-degree theft. The 22-year-old is
charged with breaking into a hangar at the Roseburg Regional Airport
Friday night and taking the transmitter and other items, according to
a Roseburg Police Department press release.

"It's to allow us to find a downed aircraft," said Tom Hyers,
coordinator of the Amateur Radio Emergency Services Division of the
Douglas County Search and Rescue team. The radio team provides
communications support for search and rescue and other emergency
operations in the county, including plane crashes.

The device transmits a signal to a satellite receiver, which then
relays the transmitter's geographical coordinates to authorities at
Langley Air Force Base in Virginia. Langley sent the information to
the Oregon Operations of Emergency Management Saturday, which notified
officials in Douglas County that a signal had been transmitting since
that morning.

"It's probably the size of a king-size carton of cigarettes," Hyers
said. The yellow device also has a small antenna, internal batteries,
and is designed to withstand the force of a moderate airplane crash.

"Almost all small aircraft have these aboard them," Hyers said, adding
they are not as strong as the famous "black box" recorders found in
commercial aircraft.

There are two ways to begin transmitting from the ELT, Hyers said. It
can either be turned on manually, or triggered by a centrifugal switch
when an airplane makes a hard landing. He did not know whether
Register tripped the switch inadvertently or had done so while playing
around with it.

As soon as Hyers and his partner, Tim Clauson, were notified that a
signal was transmitting from somewhere in the county, they began
narrowing down its location using sophisticated electronic tracking
equipment.

"It took us about two hours to home into this," Hyers said. "We knew
it was in the Roseburg area."

Hyers and Clauson, both volunteers, climbed the hills above Roseburg
to plot the signal's course before deciding it was coming from an
apartment complex in Winchester.

"Once it put us into that complex we kept working the signal, very
cautiously adjusting our equipment until we could arrive at exactly
what apartment," he said. "At that point, it became a law enforcement
operation."

Officers from the Douglas County Sheriff's Office and the Roseburg
Police Department arrested Register at his apartment, according to the
Roseburg Police release. They are also investigating a possible
connection between Friday's burglary and a theft from an airport
hangar on Aug. 20.

Hyers said Register denied he had the stolen equipment right up until
they tracked its signal to his closet.

"He said, 'No, I don't have a yellow box,'" mimicked Hyers. "'Oh, that
yellow box.'"

Message-ID: <d5118ce.481e5.15a643b68f6.Webtop.38@optonline.net>

I received a call yesterday from Brian Ward concerning the sale of items 
left over from the estate of Leonard Riley, W2JLW. Someone from 
bloomfield, NJ has already purchased probably the good stuff and listed 
them for sale on eBay.


Brian, the husband of L. Riley's daughter, does not have an itemization 
of what is available but if anyone is interested in looking over the 
items he can be reached at 732-672-6009. He lives in Somerset NJ. I 
informed Brian that without a list the best I could do is broadcast a 
message to the clubs I'm associated with. If any of the clubs want to 
send someone to view the items its possible there are items that can be 
purchased and used as a fund raising activity for the club at a hamfest.


If there is any interest please contact Brian at the number above.


73, Drew Moore

SB QST ARL ARLB007
ARLB007 FCC Invites Comments on ARRL Petition to Allocate New 5 MHz
Band

The FCC has invited comments on the ARRL's January 12 Petition for
Rule Making to allocate a new, contiguous secondary band at 5 MHz to
the Amateur Service. The League also asked the Commission to keep
four of the current five 60-meter channels - one would be within the
new band - as well as the current operating rules, including the 100
W PEP effective radiated power (ERP) limit. The federal government
is the primary user of the 5 MHz spectrum. The FCC has designated
the League's Petition as RM-11785 and put it on public notice.
Comments are due Monday, March 20. ARRL plans to file comments in
support of its petition.

The proposed ARRL action would implement a portion of the Final Acts
of World Radiocommunication Conference 2015 (WRC-15) that provided
for a secondary international allocation of 5,351.5 to 5,366.5 kHz
to the Amateur Service; that band includes 5,358.5 KHz, one of the
existing 5 MHz channels in the US. The FCC has not yet acted to
implement other portions of the WRC-15 Final Acts.

"Such implementation will allow radio amateurs engaged in emergency
and disaster relief communications, and especially those between the
United States and the Caribbean basin, to more reliably, more
flexibly and more capably conduct those communications [and
preparedness exercises], before the next hurricane season in the
summer of 2017," ARRL said in its petition.

The League said that 14 years of Amateur Radio experience using the
five discrete 5-MHz channels have shown that hams can get along well
with primary users at 5 MHz, while complying with the regulations
established for their use. "Neither ARRL, nor, apparently, NTIA is
aware of a single reported instance of interference to a federal
user by a radio amateur operating at 5 MHz to date," ARRL said in
its petition. NTIA - the National Telecommunications and Information
Administration, which regulates federal spectrum - initially
proposed the five channels for Amateur Radio use. In recent years,
Amateur Radio has cooperated with federal users such as FEMA in
conducting communication interoperability exercises.

The League said in its petition that while the Amateur Radio
community is grateful to the FCC and NTIA for providing some access
to the 5-MHz band, "the five channels are, simply stated, completely
inadequate to accommodate the emergency preparedness needs of the
Amateur Service in this HF frequency range," ARRL said. Access even
to the tiny 15-kHz wide band adopted at WRC-15 would "radically
improve the current, very limited capacity of the Amateur Service in
the United States to address emergencies and disaster relief," ARRL
said.

The WRC-15 Final Acts stipulated a power limit of 15 W effective
isotropic radiated power (EIRP), which the League said "completely
defeats the entire premise for the allocation in the first place."
ARRL said the FCC should permit a power level of 100 W PEP ERP,
assuming use of a 0 dBd gain antenna, in the contiguous 60-meter
band. "To impose the power limit adopted at WRC-15 for the
contiguous band would render the band unsuitable for emergency and
public service communications," the League said.

The ITU Radio Regulations permit assignments at variance with the
International Table of Allocations, provided a non-interference
condition is attached.
