? ? Spain Grants Unlicensed Individuals Permission to Use Amateur
? ? Stations During Lockdown

04/02/2020

Spain?s International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) member-society URE has 
obtained *temporary permission* 
<https://avancedigital.gob.es/espectro/radioaficionados/autorizaciones/Documents/resolucion-autorizacion-radioficionados-estado-alarma.pdf> 
from the country?s telecommunications regulator for unlicensed people to 
use amateur stations during the coronavirus lockdown.

?The main objective of the request is to disseminate and promote amateur 
radio among schoolchildren who must be confined at home,? the 
announcement from the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital 
Infrastructure said. ?This activity offers young people the opportunity 
to gain practical experience in telecommunications technology, promotes 
education in technological subjects, and is a socially enriching family 
activity.?

The temporary authorization would be in place while the state of alert 
and mandatory confinement measures are in effect in Spain. Non-licensed 
individuals could operate an amateur station only under the direct 
supervision of the licensee, under current amateur radio rules and 
regulations.

? ? Some Countries Permitting ?STAYHOME?-Suffix Call Signs during
? ? COVID-19 Pandemic

04/02/2020

Some countries around the world are allowing radio amateurs to use 
special ?STAYHOME? call sign suffixes. For example, listen for 
8A1STAYHOME from Indonesia, and A60STAYHOME/# call signs from the United 
Arab Emirates.

In Canada, Michael Shamash, VE2MXU, is using VC2STAYHOM ?to raise 
awareness for social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.? Canada 
limits call sign suffixes to seven characters.

Australia has permitted the Radio Amateur Society of Australia (RASA) to 
use the special call sign AX2020STAYHOME. At 14 characters, that may set 
a record for world?s longest call sign. Also look for 9K9STAYHOME from 
the Kuwait Amateur Radio Society; TC1STAYHOME, the COVID-19 special 
event call sign from Turkey, and HZ1STAYHOME from the Saudi Amateur 
Radio Society.

04/06/2020

Icom has announced that delivery of the new IC-705 HF ? 430 MHz all-mode 
10 W transceiver, which was scheduled to be released in March, has been 
pushed back to later this year because the coronavirus pandemic has 
delayed the delivery of some components. ?We are sorry to share this 
disappointing news,? Icom said, ?and as soon as we have more 
information, we will post it on our website and social media pages.? 
Many radio amateurs had made reservations for the IC-705.

Hi all,

I currently have a Rohn 35 tower that is 40 feet tall. Well it will be
later this afternoon when I install the last couple of sections. I will be
topping it with a SteppIR DB-18e that weighs a bit over 100 pounds. I have
been looking into options to get it to the top of the tower. It is just too
heavy for me to manhandle it up there even with a gin pole. So far, the
only good way I have come up with to accomplish this is to hire a crane. I
am just wondering if there is anyone in the group who has a less expensive
solution to this problem. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks in
advance.

I've used Mike's Crane & Services Kerrville | TX 78028

A couple of times for a nominal cost of a couple hundred dollars.
I hope the tower is well guyed for that antenna.

SB SPCL ARL ARLX007
ARLX007 Annual Armed Forces Day Crossband Test Postponed

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 response and mitigation actions, the 2020 
Armed Forces Day (AFD) Crossband Test scheduled for Saturday, May 9, has 
been postponed.

Because it's uncertain just when stay-at-home orders will be lifted 
across the US, AFD planners chose to postpone this year's event, because 
the government stations that typically support this event may not be 
available.

Armed Forces Day Crossband Test planners are considering scheduling a 
November event in honor of Veteran's Day, depending on COVID-19 
mitigation actions.

During the AFD Crossband Test, military stations in various locations 
transmit on selected military frequencies and announce the specific ham 
frequencies they are monitoring to work radio amateurs.

A spurious signal is opening my squelch on 146.79, maximum on 146.780.

Antenna pointed 130 deg.

Maybe it is local.  It seems to be independent of antenna direction.

Now it's gone away...
