TONIGHT AND WILL MOVE PART WAY INTO THE STATE. THUNDERSTORMS WILL 
DEVELOP ALONG AND A LITTLE BEHIND THE FRONT AND SHOULD MOVE INTO 
NORTHERN ARKANSAS LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THIS MAY EVENTUALLY TURN
INTO ANOTHER COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS WHICH COULD MOVE ACROSS THE
REST OF THE STATE DURING THE NIGHT. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WILL BE 
THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER AGAIN...BUT THIS TIME THERE IS A BETTER 
CHANCE OF LARGE HAIL. ALSO HEAVY RAIN WILL BE LIKELY AND THIS
COULD RESULT IN FLASH FLOODING IN SOME AREAS.   

DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

THE COLD FRONT WILL REMAIN IN THE AREA WEDNESDAY THEN MAY MOVE NORTH 
OUT OF THE STATE AS A WARM FRONT BY THURSDAY. WEAK LOW PRESSURE MAY
REMAIN IN THE AREA OVER THE WEEKEND. MOISTURE LEVELS WILL REMAIN 
HIGH AND THE AIR WILL REMAIN UNSTABLE. 

ALTHOUGH NO SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME 
THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WITH
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND THROUGH THE PERIOD. ALSO ISOLATED 
HEAVY RAINS AND FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE. 

THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE A CHANCE PARTS OF THE STATE WILL BE 
AFFECTED BY THUNDERSTORM COMPLEXES COMING OUT OF THE PLAINS.
SHOULD THIS OCCUR...STRONG WIND GUSTS AND BRIEF HEAVY RAINS
WILL BE THE MAIN HAZARDOUS WEATHER.  

SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS POSSIBLE IN PARTS OF WESTERN ARKANSAS THIS
MORNING AND IN OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE BY THIS AFTERNOON. SPOTTER
ACTIVATION IS LIKELY ANYWHERE IN THE STATE LATE THIS AFTERNOON
AND TONIGHT.

I found that firefox 0.9.1 didn't have the problem listed below (based on
the Secunia test).  All the others (IE, Mozilla, and Netscape all) "failed"

Microsoft Plugs IE; Report Warns All Browsers At Risk
July 2, 2004 (3:34 p.m. EST)
By Gregg Keizer, TechWeb News 

As if to prove the point that security is like the Dutch boy at the dike,
Microsoft on Friday released a stop-gap fix for one of several
vulnerabilities that have plagued its Internet Explorer just as a security
firm warned that virtually every browser -- not just IE -- can be spoofed by
hackers. 

The update, which Microsoft tagged as "Critical," isn't a patch per se, but
rather an change to Windows that disables the ADODB.Stream object within the
operating system's Data Access Components (DAC). 
Last week, an innovative attack launched by a Russian hacker group from
previously-infected Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) servers
compromised a large number of PCs with identity- and financial
information-thieving Trojan horses and key loggers. The attack exploited a
pair of vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer, one of which -- ADODB -- had
not been patched by Microsoft. 

While the Russian Web site that hosted the malicious code -- which was
surreptitiously downloaded to the compromised computers -- was taken down
last Friday to remove the immediate danger, Microsoft has still not released
a patch. The ADODB disabler is meant only as a temporary fix, said
Microsoft, until it can permanently fix IE. 
"In addition to this configuration change, Microsoft is working to provide a
series of security updates to Internet Explorer in coming weeks that will
provide additional protections," said Microsoft in a statement. Microsoft
did not offer up a timeline for any future IE patches, saying only that "a
comprehensive update will be released once it has been thoroughly tested." 

The update to disable ADODB should be downloaded and installed by all users
of Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, Microsoft
said. It's available on the Windows Download site, or via the Windows Update
service. Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), which is expected to release in
final form this summer, is not susceptible to the ADODB vulnerability. 

Friday's update is one of the few pieces of good news IE users have heard in
the last week. 
After a rash of exploits against IE vulnerabilities -- including the Web
attack of last week, password-stealing Trojans, and a new way for hackers to
spoof, or fake, Web sites -- some security analysts questioned whether
Internet Explorer was safe enough to use. 

Even the U.S. Computer Emergency Response Team (US-CERT), part of the
federal government's Department of Homeland Security, recommended that users
consider ditching IE for an alternate such as Mozilla or Opera. 
"We're recommending one of two things," said Thomas Kristensen, the chief
technology officer at Danish security firm Secunia. "Either use Internet
Explorer under very restricted security settings -- which may not be
possible for all companies -- or install a different browser." 

Wednesday, Secunia issued a warning saying it had discovered a vulnerability
within IE that allowed scammers to spoof, or fake, the content of a site
displayed in the browser. 
On Friday, however, the security vendor modified the alert to claim that
virtually every browser, from Internet Explorer and Mozilla to Opera and
Netscape -- including browsers for both Windows and the Mac OS -- has this
flaw. 
"It's not a code vulnerability," said Secunia's Kristensen, "but a design
flaw." 

The problem stems from how browsers handle frames. "Some time ago, browser
designers decided that one site needed to be able to manipulate the content
of another, and the functionality was adopted by everyone," said Kristensen.
But hackers can use this to inject phony content -- say their own credit
card-stealing form -- into a frame of an actual trusted Web site, such as a
user's online bank. 

"In these times of phishing attacks and other scams, this is a problem,"
said Kristensen. "You're visiting a bank or an e-commerce site, and you're
certain of that site, but meanwhile, it's [actually] open in the background
to content change by hackers." 

Internet Explorer users can stymie such spoofing attacks by disabling the
"Navigate sub-frames across different domains" setting under Tools/Internet
Options/Security. 

Secunia offered up a quick test that users can run to see if their current
browser is vulnerable to this problem.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK COVERS A LARGE PART OF ARKANSAS.

DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

A SYSTEM ALOFT WAS MOVING INTO SOUTHWEST MISSOURI FROM KANSAS EARLY 
THIS AFTERNOON. AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM...A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE 
THUNDERSTORMS WAS DEVELOPING...WITH THE LINE EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO 
NORTHERN AND PERHAPS CENTRAL ARKANSAS THROUGH THIS EVENING.

THE LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE STRONG TO DAMAGING 
WINDS...WITH HAIL IN SOME AREAS. THIS WOULD INCLUDE AREAS NORTH AND 
WEST OF MENA...CONWAY AND HARDY.    

ELSEWHERE...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL 
CONTINUE POPPING UP THROUGH THIS EVENING. WITH A SLOW MOVEMENT AND A 
MOIST ATMOSPHERE...THE STORMS WILL TEND TO PRODUCE HEAVY 
RAINFALL...WITH FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE IN A FEW SPOTS. 

OVERNIGHT...ALL PRECIPITATION SHOULD DISSIPATE BY MIDNIGHT OR 
SO...WITH PATCHY FOG DEVELOPING AFTER MIDNIGHT.          

DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE FROM TEXAS INTO NORTHERN AND WESTERN 
ARKANSAS WILL BRING SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND 
THUNDERSTORMS ON FRIDAY. 

OTHERWISE...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ALOFT THIS WEEKEND AND INTO 
NEXT WEEK...WITH HOT AND MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS IN THE FORECAST. 
ONLY ISOLATED AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK COVERS A LARGE PART OF ARKANSAS.

DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH ARKANSAS TODAY AND WILL PROVIDE A 
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE NORTH CENTRAL AREAS HAVE A 
SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY TONIGHT. THE MAIN 
THREAT WOULD BE DAMAGING WINDS. HEAT INDICES WILL REACH 100 TO 105 
DEGREES ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN SECTIONS. 

DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

THE COLD FRONT WILL BE STALLED ACROSS SOUTH AND WEST ARKANSAS ON 
FRIDAY. THIS WILL ACT AS A FOCUS FOR FURTHER THUNDERSTORM 
DEVELOPMENT. THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS 
ON FRIDAY ACROSS THE NORTHEAST HALF OF THE STATE. NORTHWEST FLOW 
ALOFT WILL RETURN TO THE AREA AND BRING THE CHANCES FOR A LARGE 
THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX TO DEVELOP OVER THE PLAINS AND MOVE INTO THE 
AREA. ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND WILL 
BE POSSIBLE.

ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE 
WEEKEND. NORTHWEST WINDS ALOFT ARE EXPECTED OVER ARKANSAS. THERE 
WILL BE A CHANCE A COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS COULD MOVE INTO PARTS OF 
THE STATE FROM THE PLAINS. ANY OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE 
DAMAGING WINDS AND HEAVY RAINS. DRIER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA 
FOR THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK.

SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK COVERS A LARGE PART OF ARKANSAS.

DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

A FRONTAL SYSTEM OVER CENTRAL ARKANSAS WILL REMAIN GENERALLY 
STATIONARY. THE FRONT ALONG WITH AFTERNOON HEATING WILL CREATE THE 
POSSIBILITY OF SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. A FEW OF THE 
STORMS MAY BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE THIS AFTERNOON WITH STRONG WINDS 
BEING THE PRIMARY THREAT. AN UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM MOVING 
SOUTHWARD OVER THE PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON WILL BRING A CHANCE OF 
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO ARKANSAS AGAIN TONIGHT. A FEW OF THE 
STORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE OVER THE NORTHERN SECTIONS BY LATE TONIGHT 
WITH DAMAGING WINDS BEING THE PRIMARY THREAT. HEAT INDICES WILL 
REACH 100 TO 105 DEGREES ACROSS MAINLY THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN 
SECTIONS OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. 

DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

REMNANTS OF THE STORMS THAT OCCUR EARLY FRIDAY COUPLED WITH A 
FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER SOUTH CENTRAL ARKANSAS WILL ACT AS FOCUSING 
MECHANISMS FOR ADDITIONAL SCATTERED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM 
DEVELOPMENT ON FRIDAY. SOME OF THE STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE DURING 
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS WITH DAMAGING WINDS BEING THE 
PRIMARY THREAT. 

ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE 
WEEKEND. NORTHWESTERLY WINDS ALOFT ARE EXPECTED OVER ARKANSAS. THIS 
MAY BRING COMPLEXES OF THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE STATE FROM THE PLAINS. 
ANY OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS AND HEAVY 
RAINS. DRIER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA FOR THE FIRST PART OF NEXT 
WEEK.

All -
 
Just got back in town to find that the 146.700 repeater is down.  Given what
I've heard you all had in terms of weather friday night, I hope we have just
fallen victim to the power supply needing reset.  
 
Will advise as repair efforts proceed.
 
Thanks,
 
Glenn

All -

A check of the SWR at the 70 site yielded:

Pf = 20
Pr =  5

SWR = 3:1

It appears we have an antenna problem.  We will secure a climber and most likely replace the fiberglass antenna with the DB225 that used to be on the Noble lake site.

The problems we are seeing are very characteristic of a fiberglass antenna that has been hit by lightening or been exposed to a close strike.

The nets scheduled for the 146.700 repeater will be held on 146.700 simplex until the antenna is swapped.  Again, the frequency is 146.700 simplex.

Be reminded of other local repeaters:

147.240
147.165 (White Hall)
147.195
442.175

Everyone -
 
A stop by the 146.700 repeater site today yielded the following
 
Pf = 20 Watts
Pr =  5 Watts
 
SWR: 3:1
 
Pout of radio = 38 Watts (into dummy).
 
This suggests a problem with the hardline and/or the antenna (those I've
spoken with believe it is the antenna).  The problem we are seeing is
symptomatic of a fiberglass antenna that has either been hit by lightening
or been subjected to a close strike(s).
 
Our plans:
 
1) retrieve the DB225 from N5SSE and plan to put it in service (this is the
one that was in use at Noble Lake)
2) Secure a tower climber and get the appropriate permissions to allow him
to climb the tower
3) arrange a date for the climb
 
 
All nets scheduled for the 146.700 machine will be simplex nets until we get
the antenna situation fixed.  That is, the SEAR Radio Emergency net and the
PBARC net will be on 146.700 simplex.  By the way, there is no PBARC net as
tomorrow is club meeting night.  The main reason is that unless you are
close to the repeater site, you aren't able to get in to the repeater.
 
 
 
Thanks,
 
Glenn

ARLP029 Propagation de K7RA

We're putting out this bulletin a day early this week.  K7RA will be out of
town, and Carl Luetzelschwab, K9LA, who often writes the bulletin in K7RA's
absence, is giving a talk on 160-Meter propagation over the weekend at the
Pacific Northwest DX Convention, near Seattle.  See http://www.wwdxc.org and
specifically http://www.wwdxc.org/convention/2004conv.htm for information.

Carl wrote a great piece for the propagation section of the ARRL Technical
Information Service site, which is reached via the URL at the end of this
bulletin.  Titled "Propagation Planning for DXpeditions," it is good reading
for anyone interested in the practical applications of HF propagation.  The
direct link to his article is,
http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/pdf/propplan.pdf.  You will need Adobe Reader
to view the article.

Sunspot numbers and solar flux rose this week.  Average daily sunspot
numbers were up 54 points above last week's average.
Sunspot 649, a big one, came around the sun's eastern limb this week.
Helioseismic holography shows more sunspots on the far side of the sun, so
the short-term trend for solar activity is up.

Big news is a huge X-class solar flare that was detected at 0140z on July
15.  If a coronal mass ejection is heading toward earth, it could mean big
geomagnetic storms.  Currently the prediction made before the flare was for
planetary A index of 12, 20, 12 and 10 for Thursday through Sunday, July
15-18.  Predicted solar flux for the same period is 140, 140, 135 and 135.

Several readers sent in articles this week about solar storms last October
and how the effects are still being felt at the edge of our solar system.
The Washington Post ran an article about it last week, which you can read on
the web at,

r.

For more information concerning propagation and an explanation of the
numbers used in this bulletin see the ARRL Technical Information Service
propagation page at, http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/propagation.html.

Sunspot numbers for July 8 through 14 were 17, 32, 58, 98, 118, 129 and 149
with a mean of 85.9.  10.7 cm flux was 81.8, 86.7, 93.3, 104.4, 125, 149.5
and 138.1, with a mean of 111.3.  Estimated planetary A indices were 5, 5,
8, 14, 13, 16 and 9, with a mean of 10.  Estimated mid-latitude A indices
were 1, 4, 5, 13, 12, 11 and 6, with a mean of 7.4.

All -


Using the same radio as yesterday (that was marked as having a power out of
38 W), the Bird was placed at the t-connector going to the antenna.  Using a
dummy load today, instead of the antenna, the following measurements were
made:

Pf = 38
Pr =  3

SWR: approximately 1.8:1

This pretty much confirms K5ECJ's thought (and the thoughts of others) that
the problem is either antenna or coax.  The majority are thinking it is
antenna.

==>ARRL BOARD OKAYS VOLUNTEER GRASSROOTS LOBBYING EFFORT

The ARRL Board of Directors has formalized a grassroots congressional
lobbying program with an initial focus on BPL. Acting July 16 during its
second meeting of 2004 in Windsor, Connecticut, the Board acknowledged the
need to "immediately begin a BPL grassroots lobbying campaign." Hudson
Division Director Frank Fallon, N2FF, who headed the Ad Hoc Committee on
Grassroots Lobbying, sees the creation of a national "political machine"
as a practical way to protect Amateur Radio spectrum.

"We're really, in essence, changing the culture of how we operate," Fallon
said after the meeting. "We're going to use our members as constituents to
talk to key legislators." While the campaign will zero in on BPL in the near
term, it eventually could expand to support bills dealing with spectrum
protection and with and deed covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs)
and their impact on amateur antennas.

"It can be more effective for two or three constituents to walk into a
lawmaker's office to pitch their cause," Fallon said. Such contacts, he
pointed out, also can pave the way for subsequent meetings between League
officials and members of Congress or their staff members.

To establish a coordinating structure, the Board created the positions of
Division Congressional Action Chair, Congressional Action Coordinator and
Congressional Action Assistant. The Board authorized the League's 15
division directors to appoint qualified volunteers to these positions.

Under the plan the Board adopted, the Division Congressional Action Chair,
one in each ARRL division, would be a cabinet-level volunteer with some
experience in lobbying activities. There would be at least one Congressional
Action Coordinator in each state, ideally selected in consultation with
section managers. These volunteers also would be members of the director's
cabinet. Working with the director, the Congressional Action Coordinator
will designate and develop a number of Congressional Action Assistants to
"accomplish the mission of getting the ARRL message to legislators," the ad
hoc committee's report explained.

Fallon said the grassroots lobbying effort will fold into a comprehensive
broadband over power line strategy, which the Board discussed at length but
did not make public. The Board expressed the hope that the lobbying effort
could be up and running by fall.

In other business, the Board:

* approved a system to automatically recognize long-term League membership
and to express appreciation of that support through a system of awards.

* designated the next Dayton Hamvention as ARRL National Convention 2005.
Hamvention will take place May 20-22 at Hara Arena near Dayton, Ohio.

* directed the filing of an application with the FCC for an experimental
license authorizing low-frequency operation for specified Amateur Radio
stations.

* directed the filing of a petition with the FCC to permit security of data
for computer-to-computer communications on domestic transmissions above 50
MHz.

* established as policy that ARES groups and any group using the ARES logo
shall formally acknowledge ARES as an ARRL program, including in their
bylaws or other organizational documents, and agree to abide by all rules
and guidelines the League establishes. Since both ARES and Amateur Radio
Emergency Service are registered ARRL service marks, ARES groups are to
utilize the R symbol in any printed or electronic media and note that the
logo is used by permission. All ARES records, membership rosters and other
data pertaining to the ARES program, wherever located, are the property of
the ARRL.

* resolved to have President Haynie appoint a study committee to recommend
effective means of promoting "constructive relations and open lines of
communication" between the League and the Amateur Radio industry. The
committee will solicit input from the Industry Advisory Council and report
to the Board at its January 2005 meeting.

* recognized and thanked ARRL Chief Operating Officer Mark Wilson, K1RO, for
his longstanding service and dedication to the League and wished him well in
his future endeavors. Wilson has announced that he'll be leaving ARRL in
September to move to New Hampshire. He's been a member of the ARRL
Headquarters staff for 24 years.

The official minutes of the July 2004 meeting of the ARRL Board of Directors
are available on the ARRL Web site
<http://www.arrl.org/announce/board-0407/>.

==>"ARESCOM" PLAN TO ENHANCE EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION CAPABILITY

The ARRL Board of Directors has adopted a resolution encouraging further
development and expansion of an inaugural network to enhance the emergency
communications capability of the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES).
The action came during the Board's meeting July 16-17. The Board had charged
an ad hoc committee, dubbed "ARESCOM," with developing an augmented ARES
telecommunications system that would include rapid and accurate handling of
long-range emergency communications. ARESCOM recommended deployment of a
digital e-mail system based on Winlink 2000 software. The Board encouraged
the deployment of e-mail via Amateur Radio--"as exemplified by Winlink
2000"--to meet the needs of served agencies and others involved in providing
disaster communications.

"The digital network will provide a value-added service for ARES and will
continue to be viewed very positively by our served agencies," the committee
said in its report to the Board. "This allows ARES to be viewed as modern
and necessary instead of antiquated and invasive."

The committee, chaired by Great Lakes Division Vice Director Dick Mondro,
W8FQT, said situations arise when ARES must "pass message traffic across the
nation quickly and accurately." It also said the need for such a nationwide
ARES capability is likely to increase in light of the ARRL's Citizen Corps
partnership with the Department of Homeland Security.

Winlink 2000--a worldwide Amateur Radio digital radio e-mail system--already
is widely used by the blue water boating and recreational vehicle
communities. Members of the ARRL Programs and Services Committee witnessed a
Winlink 2000 demonstration at ARRL Headquarters the day before the board
meeting.

The ARRL Board extended the committee's charter until its January 2005
meeting so ARESCOM can complete an implementation plan that ensures that
ARES has "the prominent role" in managing the national network and that ARES
officials and appropriate ARRL Headquarters staffers have an chance to
critique the network's operation to ensure it meets the requirements of ARES
and its served agencies.

A two-part series appearing in the August and September 2004 issues of QST,
"Winlink for ARES," by ARRL South Texas Section Emergency Coordinator Jerry
Reimer, KK5CA, outlines an enhanced ARES network that would include e-mail
capability over HF links.

==>ARRL BOARD NAMES AWARD WINNERS

For the first time ever, the ARRL Board of Directors named two young
amateurs to receive the prestigious Hiram Percy Maxim Memorial Award for
2003. Selected as winners in equal standing were Andrea L. Hartlage, KG4IUM,
and Jay Thompson, W6JAY. The Hiram Percy Maxim Memorial Award goes annually
to an amateur under age 21 who has contributed in an exemplary manner to
both the Amateur Radio community and the local community. Facing a difficult
choice in deciding among several talented and dedicated nominees, the Board
said Hartlage and Thompson stood out as the best of the best.

Nominated by Georgia Section Manager Susan Swiderski, AF4FO--who has
designated Hartlage as Assistant Section Manager/Youth, and Bill Carter,
KG4FXG, Hartlage, 15, is well known to visitors of the ARRL Web site as the
editor of the monthly column Youth@HamRadio.Fun
<http://www.arrl.org/news/youth/>. "Andrea is one of ham radio's best
ambassadors and a strong leader," the Board said. She's active in her
community through her participation in Amateur Radio Emergency Service
(ARES) activities, and she recently completed the ARRL Amateur Radio
Emergency Communications Level II course. She also mentors aspiring young
amateurs at a local middle school.

Hartlage said she was honored to be selected. "Thank you to the American
Radio Relay League and to the many hams who have taught, encouraged and
helped me along the way," she said. She expressed special gratitude to her
dad, Scott Hartlage, KF4PWI, for introducing her to ham radio.

This has been an honor-filled week for Hartlage. In addition to the ARRL
award, Amateur Radio Newsline this week named her as its 2004 Young Ham of
the Year.

Thompson, an ARRL Life Member who turns 19 this month, was nominated by his
father, Richard Thompson, WA6NOL. The 2003 Amateur Radio Newsline Young Ham
of the Year, Thompson is active in Amateur Radio direction finding and has
won numerous ARDF medals, including three in the IARU Region 2 competition.
He'll compete in September in the ARDF 12th World Championship in the Czech
Republic. Thompson also has taught DFing to Scouts. In addition, he serves
as a net control station for his local ARES net and for the Hospital
Disaster Support Communications System.

During numerous science fairs, Thompson has demonstrated his grasp of the
technical side of ham radio. He designed and built a new type of quad
antenna--the fractal quad--for a regional science fair, making him an
"honored participant." He also mentors other youth through his active
participation in the Boy Scouts' radio merit badge program.

Thompson said he was surprised to be named the 2003 HPM Award winner. "I was
thrilled that there were two winners, because it lets me know that there are
other young hams with major accomplishments," he said. "I congratulate
Andrea, KG4IUM, on winning this award also."

Both are Amateur Extra class licensees. Each will receive a $1500 stipend
and engraved plaques.

There were multiple winners as well of the 2003 Doug DeMaw, W1FB, Technical
Excellence Award. Created to honor the late Doug DeMaw, W1FB--a former ARRL
staffer and one of the most widely published technical authors in Amateur
Radio history--the award goes to the author or authors of the best QST or
QEX technical article during the prior year.

The 2003 Technical Excellence Award will go to two sets of authors. The
Board recognized Bob Larkin, W7PUA, Larry Liljequist, W7SZ, and Ernest
Manly, W7LHL, for their July/August 2003 QEX article, "Microwave Propagation
in the Upper Troposphere." The Board also recognized ARRL Life Member Robert
Sommer, N4UU, for his August 2003 QST article "Optimum Radial Ground
Systems."

Donald P. Wright Jr, AA2F, is the winner of the 2003 ARRL Herb S. Brier
(W9AD) Instructor of the Year Award. Named for the late, long-time CQ
"Novice" column editor, the award honors an individual who represents the
spirit of Brier's effective and caring Amateur Radio instruction. The Lake
County Amateur Radio Club of Crown Point, Indiana, cosponsors the award.
Wright has been active in Amateur Radio education for more than 20 years and
has taught hundreds of individuals to prepare for their license
examinations.

Nick Lance Jr, KC5KBO, is the recipient of the 2003 ARRL Professional
Educator of the Year Award. This award goes to a teacher who uses Amateur
Radio within the curriculum. The Lambda Amateur Radio Club of Philadelphia
is the award cosponsor. Lance is solely responsible for assisting numerous
members of the astronaut corps and 29 of NASA's aerospace education
specialists to get their ham tickets. He also teaches a ham class to middle
schoolers and inspires them to pursue careers in technology.

Michael J. Duff, KG4SLH, is the recipient of the 2004 Philip J. McGan
Memorial Silver Antenna Award, honoring an amateur who demonstrates
outstanding Amateur Radio public relations success at the local, state or
national level. An ARRL Life Member, Duff has helped build public awareness
for Amateur Radio via radio, television and print and has reached out to the
public through informational displays and speaking engagements, continually
demonstrating his success as a public relations volunteer.

"Mike has the uncanny ability of successfully obtaining media and community
exposure," said Jack Jackson, N4JJ, who nominated Duff for the award. "He
has reached the youth through Boy Scouts and school programs as well as the
general community through library displays and public event information
booths."

The Board also honored two recipients with the 2003 ARRL Microwave
Development Award, which recognizes contributions to microwave equipment
design and development. Named were Brian D. Justin Jr, WA1ZMS, and John
Champa, K8OCL.

The Board recognized Justin for his pioneering work in developing the
Amateur Radio microwave bands above 30 GHz. In February, the ARRL Life
Member claimed a new world and North American DX record for the 241 GHz
band--49.35 miles. Champa, also an ARRL Life Member, was honored for his
leadership as chairman of the ARRL High Speed Multimedia Committee and for
the development of practical IEEE 802.11 "WiFi" technology for Amateur
Radio.

==>"WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER," ASTRONAUT TELLS STUDENTS IN JAPAN

It was a truly international Earth-space Amateur Radio contact July 13 when
International Space Station astronaut Mike Fincke, KE5AIT, spoke with
students at Meizen High School in Japan. Fincke, who's fluent in Japanese,
answered most questions in both Japanese and English. During the Amateur
Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact between NA1SS in
space and 8N6A in Japan, one questioner wanted to know what Fincke saw for
the future of space development.

"The future of space development is very important to everyone on the
planet," Fincke replied. "We need to work together, and we can go to the
moon, we can go to Mars, we can go to the stars."

Speaking of stars, Fincke told another student that he hasn't been able to
view any of the constellations from space because the ISS ports face
earthward. "The constellations are above us, and so far, I've only looked
down on the Earth, and the Earth is very bright," Fincke said.

The astronaut also noted that the ISS inhabitants could see pollution on
Earth from space. "Yes, we can see a little bit of environmental pollution,"
Fincke said in response to a student's question. "We must keep our planet
clean."

Regarding his newborn daughter Tarali, Fincke said he's only seen her via a
computer linkup.

Ten elementary pupils and seven junior high and high schoolers participated
in the event, which attracted attention from local and national news media.
An audience of 50 elementary, 20 junior high and 250 high school students
plus some 80 parents also was on hand.

The nearly nine-minute contact was marred by occasional signal dropout from
NA1SS. In all, Fincke answered 16 of the students' questions before he got
out of range. Osamu Nakamura, NH7TA, who attends Meizen High School, served
as control operator for the direct 2-meter contact.
Nakamura received his General class FCC license last November specifically
for this event.

"All preparations for this contact were made by the Meizen High School
students themselves," said ARISS Japan mentor Satoshi Yasuda, 7M3TJZ/AD6GZ.
"This was a first for Japan and a very successful event for all!"

The next ARISS school group contact also will be with students in Japan.
On Thursday, July 29, fifth and sixth graders attending Habikigaoka
Elementary School in Habikino will have the opportunity to question Fincke.

ARISS is an international educational outreach program with US participation
by ARRL, AMSAT and NASA.

==>HAMS MUSTER IN WAKE OF FLORIDA CAPITAL BLACKOUT

Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) teams and local amateurs in the
Tallahassee, Florida, area volunteered to assist after electrical power went
out in about half of the capital city July 13. The region was affected for
about three hours before power was restored. More than a dozen amateurs
participated in the blackout response.

"We have a very active ARES group here in the Capital District, and all the
local hams as usual responded immediately," said Gadsden County Emergency
Coordinator Bill Mapoles, KG4LFT. At the request of local authorities, hams
helped during the blackout by reporting traffic difficulties, non-operating
traffic signals and other power failure-related problems, he said. The 2 PM
blackout during hot, humid weather, killed air conditioning, snarled traffic
and led Florida A&M University to close for the rest of the afternoon.

Former Capital District EC Kent Hutchinson, KC4TOC, started up an informal
Tallahassee blackout net, subsequently picked up by Paul Eakins, KJ4G.
Amateurs staffed the local emergency operations center and also assisted the
American Red Cross, which opened a shelter and three aid stations.

"I'm proud to be a part of our local ARES group," Mapoles said, "and I can
say that we, in the Capital District, are prepared for anything."

==>JOHN D. KRAUS, W8JK, SK

Radio astronomer, antenna designer, cosmic explorer and author John D.
Kraus, W8JK, of Delaware, Ohio, died July 18. He was 94. While he enjoyed a
worldwide reputation, Kraus is perhaps best known in Amateur Radio circles
for his bi-directional wire beam antenna--often dubbed the '8JK array. Other
important Kraus designs include the corner reflector and helix antennas.

The Michigan native was a pioneer of radiotelescope design and the father of
the "Big Ear" radiotelescope. Following an early fascination with radio,
Kraus first became licensed as 8AFJ. He later was granted the now-famous
W8JK call sign. A graduate of the University of Michigan, he joined the
faculty of the Ohio State University 1946, serving as a professor of
electrical engineering and astronomy and founding and directing the OSU
Radio Observatory. In that capacity, Kraus designed and oversaw construction
of the Big Ear on land owned by Ohio Wesleyan University.

In 1978, after the "Big Ear" detected the still-unidentified "Wow!" signal
that suggested the possibility of intelligent life elsewhere in the
universe, Kraus launched Cosmic Search, a magazine devoted to the search for
extraterrestrial intelligence. The Big Ear fell victim to development
pressures and was torn down in 1998.

Kraus's classic textbook Antennas, now in its third edition, has been an
engineering school staple for decades. Among his other titles are
Electromagnetics, Radio Astronomy, Big Ear, Big Ear Two and Our Cosmic
Universe. Kraus also wrote several articles for QST. He did a "recap and
update" of his W8JK antenna in the June 1982 issue. An article in the July
1970 edition describes a "W8JK 5-Band Rotary Beam Antenna." A 1934 QST
article by Kraus highlights "Amateur Radio in the Soviet Union."

Kraus was a fellow of the IEEE and a member of the National Academy of
Engineering. In 1996, Dayton Hamvention honored Kraus as the recipient of
its Special Achievement Award. In 2001, CQ named Kraus to the inaugural
class of its Amateur Radio Hall of Fame.

==>SOLAR UPDATE

Solar sage Tad "I Wear My Sunglasses At Night" Cook, K7RA, Seattle,
Washington, reports: Rising solar activity is in the news this week.
Sunspot 652--a really big one--is currently looking straight at Earth. We
are also experiencing effects from a coronal mass ejection from this spot.
Early Thursday, July 22 (Wednesday night in the Americas) geomagnetic K
indices were at zero at all latitudes--even above the Arctic Circle. The
effects of the coronal mass ejection itself were unimportant, but there was
a strong solar wind behind it and the interplanetary magnetic field pointed
south, which makes Earth vulnerable. By Thursday night K indices were at
five and six.

This week's average daily sunspot numbers, compared with the previous
week's, rose more than 72 points. Average daily solar flux rose nearly 48
points. When the daily sunspot number reached 176 on Monday July 19, it was
the highest reading of this index since November 30, 2003. The solar flux at
175.2 on July 20 was the highest flux value since November 24 of last year.

Of course, this doesn't signal any sort of upward trend in the solar cycle,
but at this point there is still enough variation to provide some excitement
and interest.

For July 23-26, Friday through Monday, the predicted planetary A index is
25, 15, 10 and 10. Predicted solar flux for those same dates is 170, 160,
160 and 150. For HF, we generally want sunspot counts to be high for several
days with stable geomagnetic conditions. Often the two don't arrive
together.

Sunspot numbers for July 15 through 21 were 146, 142, 165, 169, 176, 147 and
162, with a mean of 158.1. The 10.7 cm flux was 145.7, 146.5, 149.2, 155.1,
170.2, 175.2 and 172.2, with a mean of 159.2. Estimated planetary A indices
were 9, 12, 24, 9, 9, 9 and 6, with a mean of 11.1. Estimated mid-latitude A
indices were 7, 8, 13, 6, 8, 6 and 5, with a mean of 7.6.

* Correction: In the "In Brief" news item "Actor Marlon Brando,
KE6PZH/FO8GJ, SK," appearing in The ARRL Letter, Vol 23, No 28 (Jul 16,
2004), we erred in a statement regarding Brando's real name. He was born
Marlon Brando Jr, although he appears in the FCC database under the name
"Martin Brandeaux," an apparent pseudonym. His FO8GJ listing indicates both
names.

* Dave Bowker, K1FK, wins QST Cover Plaque Award: The winner of the QST
Cover Plaque Award for June is Dave Bowker, K1FK, for his article "A 75 foot
Top Loaded Vertical Antenna." Congratulations, Dave! The winner of the QST

* AMSAT asks patience as Echo AO-51 checkout continues: AMSAT-NA says "much
more work and testing is yet to be done" before it can open the Echo
AO-51 Amateur Radio satellite for general use by the amateur community.
Commissioning continues for AO-51, with ground controllers checking out the
satellite's software on the ground and reloading and testing software on the
satellite, an AMSAT bulletin reported. When Echo is in the sun, telemetry
data also are being collected to work on attitude determination.
AMSAT says the command team also must ensure that the satellite's hardware
is working properly before making it available for use. At some point in the
AO-51 proveout, the satellite will become available for experimental
operation. "At the present time it is anticipated that Echo will be opened
initially in 9k6 digital mode, via the BBS system," AMSAT said. "After
running a few days in that mode, the FM repeater may be enabled." AMSAT says
all modes will start at low power and gather data while looking at the
overall health of the satellite--specifically the power consumption in each
configuration. Power will gradually be increased as ground controllers
monitor the data. "The command team asks at the present time, that you
continue to not transmit to Echo," AMSAT said. "Please continue to show
restraint, and you will be making your first contacts through Echo soon."
AMSAT-NA will issue a bulletin when AO-51 becomes available for use.--AMSAT

* Wireless Institute of Australia pushes ahead on 5 MHz proposal: The
Wireless Institute of Australia (WIA) plans to soon ask the Australian
Communications Authority (ACA) to consider establishing a set of Amateur
Radio channels in the 60-meter (5 MHz) band. "We have put together a list of
six proposed 5 MHz single-frequency allocations," said WIA Director Glenn
Dunstan, VK4DU. He said the WIA came up with the proposed allocations--which
WIA has not yet released--using the ACA's on-line frequency database and a
database of Pacific 5 MHz channels. "The 5 MHz band is used heavily
throughout the Pacific," Dunstan points out, "and this would restrict any
amateur activity to a series of spot frequencies, with operation most
probably confined to upper sideband, as is the case in the US and the UK."
He said having frequencies available in the vicinity of 5 MHz would
particularly enhance the capabilities of the Wireless Institute Civil
Emergency Network (WICEN)--Australia's equivalent of the Amateur Radio
Emergency Service (ARES). The WIA, which has been undergoing a
restructuring, now has a national Web site <http://www.wia.org.au>.

* First western Canada LF QSO reported: British Columbia amateurs Steve
McDonald, VE7SL, Mayne Island, and Scott Tilley, VE7TIL, Vancouver
reportedly completed the first western Canadian contact on the 2200 meter
band on July 10. McDonald said the contact between the two stations on
137.754 kHz spanned a distance of approximately 50 km (about 31 miles).
"VE7TIL utilized slow-speed CW--QRSS3--mode, while VE7SL used normal CW,"
McDonald said. VE7TIL was running a homebrew transmitter that ran about 1 W
output, while VE7SL was using a homebrew crystal-controlled exciter into a
single FET amplifier at 100W output. "Both of us used similar antenna
systems for transmitting--a loaded three-wire flattop T," McDonald said, and
small loop antennas for receiving. McDonald said he hoped their efforts
would stimulate more interest in LF in western Canada. For more information
about 136 kHz activity and equipment, visit The VE7SL Radio Notebook
<http://www.imagenisp.ca/jsm> and The Radio Beacon 'TIL' Web sites.

==>ARRL BOARD OKAYS VOLUNTEER GRASSROOTS LOBBYING EFFORT

The ARRL Board of Directors has formalized a grassroots congressional
lobbying program with an initial focus on BPL. Acting July 16 during its
second meeting of 2004 in Windsor, Connecticut, the Board acknowledged the
need to "immediately begin a BPL grassroots lobbying campaign." Hudson
Division Director Frank Fallon, N2FF, who headed the Ad Hoc Committee on
Grassroots Lobbying, sees the creation of a national "political machine"
as a practical way to protect Amateur Radio spectrum.

"We're really, in essence, changing the culture of how we operate," Fallon
said after the meeting. "We're going to use our members as constituents to
talk to key legislators." While the campaign will zero in on BPL in the near
term, it eventually could expand to support bills dealing with spectrum
protection and with and deed covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs)
and their impact on amateur antennas.

"It can be more effective for two or three constituents to walk into a
lawmaker's office to pitch their cause," Fallon said. Such contacts, he
pointed out, also can pave the way for subsequent meetings between League
officials and members of Congress or their staff members.

To establish a coordinating structure, the Board created the positions of
Division Congressional Action Chair, Congressional Action Coordinator and
Congressional Action Assistant. The Board authorized the League's 15
division directors to appoint qualified volunteers to these positions.

Under the plan the Board adopted, the Division Congressional Action Chair,
one in each ARRL division, would be a cabinet-level volunteer with some
experience in lobbying activities. There would be at least one Congressional
Action Coordinator in each state, ideally selected in consultation with
section managers. These volunteers also would be members of the director's
cabinet. Working with the director, the Congressional Action Coordinator
will designate and develop a number of Congressional Action Assistants to
"accomplish the mission of getting the ARRL message to legislators," the ad
hoc committee's report explained.

Fallon said the grassroots lobbying effort will fold into a comprehensive
broadband over power line strategy, which the Board discussed at length but
did not make public. The Board expressed the hope that the lobbying effort
could be up and running by fall.

In other business, the Board:

* approved a system to automatically recognize long-term League membership
and to express appreciation of that support through a system of awards.

* designated the next Dayton Hamvention as ARRL National Convention 2005.
Hamvention will take place May 20-22 at Hara Arena near Dayton, Ohio.

* directed the filing of an application with the FCC for an experimental
license authorizing low-frequency operation for specified Amateur Radio
stations.

* directed the filing of a petition with the FCC to permit security of data
for computer-to-computer communications on domestic transmissions above 50
MHz.

* established as policy that ARES groups and any group using the ARES logo
shall formally acknowledge ARES as an ARRL program, including in their
bylaws or other organizational documents, and agree to abide by all rules
and guidelines the League establishes. Since both ARES and Amateur Radio
Emergency Service are registered ARRL service marks, ARES groups are to
utilize the R symbol in any printed or electronic media and note that the
logo is used by permission. All ARES records, membership rosters and other
data pertaining to the ARES program, wherever located, are the property of
the ARRL.

* resolved to have President Haynie appoint a study committee to recommend
effective means of promoting "constructive relations and open lines of
communication" between the League and the Amateur Radio industry. The
committee will solicit input from the Industry Advisory Council and report
to the Board at its January 2005 meeting.

* recognized and thanked ARRL Chief Operating Officer Mark Wilson, K1RO, for
his longstanding service and dedication to the League and wished him well in
his future endeavors. Wilson has announced that he'll be leaving ARRL in
September to move to New Hampshire. He's been a member of the ARRL
Headquarters staff for 24 years.

The official minutes of the July 2004 meeting of the ARRL Board of Directors
are available on the ARRL Web site
<http://www.arrl.org/announce/board-0407/>.

==>"ARESCOM" PLAN TO ENHANCE EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION CAPABILITY

The ARRL Board of Directors has adopted a resolution encouraging further
development and expansion of an inaugural network to enhance the emergency
communications capability of the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES).
The action came during the Board's meeting July 16-17. The Board had charged
an ad hoc committee, dubbed "ARESCOM," with developing an augmented ARES
telecommunications system that would include rapid and accurate handling of
long-range emergency communications. ARESCOM recommended deployment of a
digital e-mail system based on Winlink 2000 software. The Board encouraged
the deployment of e-mail via Amateur Radio--"as exemplified by Winlink
2000"--to meet the needs of served agencies and others involved in providing
disaster communications.

"The digital network will provide a value-added service for ARES and will
continue to be viewed very positively by our served agencies," the committee
said in its report to the Board. "This allows ARES to be viewed as modern
and necessary instead of antiquated and invasive."

The committee, chaired by Great Lakes Division Vice Director Dick Mondro,
W8FQT, said situations arise when ARES must "pass message traffic across the
nation quickly and accurately." It also said the need for such a nationwide
ARES capability is likely to increase in light of the ARRL's Citizen Corps
partnership with the Department of Homeland Security.

Winlink 2000--a worldwide Amateur Radio digital radio e-mail system--already
is widely used by the blue water boating and recreational vehicle
communities. Members of the ARRL Programs and Services Committee witnessed a
Winlink 2000 demonstration at ARRL Headquarters the day before the board
meeting.

The ARRL Board extended the committee's charter until its January 2005
meeting so ARESCOM can complete an implementation plan that ensures that
ARES has "the prominent role" in managing the national network and that ARES
officials and appropriate ARRL Headquarters staffers have an chance to
critique the network's operation to ensure it meets the requirements of ARES
and its served agencies.

A two-part series appearing in the August and September 2004 issues of QST,
"Winlink for ARES," by ARRL South Texas Section Emergency Coordinator Jerry
Reimer, KK5CA, outlines an enhanced ARES network that would include e-mail
capability over HF links.

==>ARRL BOARD NAMES AWARD WINNERS

For the first time ever, the ARRL Board of Directors named two young
amateurs to receive the prestigious Hiram Percy Maxim Memorial Award for
2003. Selected as winners in equal standing were Andrea L. Hartlage, KG4IUM,
and Jay Thompson, W6JAY. The Hiram Percy Maxim Memorial Award goes annually
to an amateur under age 21 who has contributed in an exemplary manner to
both the Amateur Radio community and the local community. Facing a difficult
choice in deciding among several talented and dedicated nominees, the Board
said Hartlage and Thompson stood out as the best of the best.

Nominated by Georgia Section Manager Susan Swiderski, AF4FO--who has
designated Hartlage as Assistant Section Manager/Youth, and Bill Carter,
KG4FXG, Hartlage, 15, is well known to visitors of the ARRL Web site as the
editor of the monthly column Youth@HamRadio.Fun
<http://www.arrl.org/news/youth/>. "Andrea is one of ham radio's best
ambassadors and a strong leader," the Board said. She's active in her
community through her participation in Amateur Radio Emergency Service
(ARES) activities, and she recently completed the ARRL Amateur Radio
Emergency Communications Level II course. She also mentors aspiring young
amateurs at a local middle school.

Hartlage said she was honored to be selected. "Thank you to the American
Radio Relay League and to the many hams who have taught, encouraged and
helped me along the way," she said. She expressed special gratitude to her
dad, Scott Hartlage, KF4PWI, for introducing her to ham radio.

This has been an honor-filled week for Hartlage. In addition to the ARRL
award, Amateur Radio Newsline this week named her as its 2004 Young Ham of
the Year.

Thompson, an ARRL Life Member who turns 19 this month, was nominated by his
father, Richard Thompson, WA6NOL. The 2003 Amateur Radio Newsline Young Ham
of the Year, Thompson is active in Amateur Radio direction finding and has
won numerous ARDF medals, including three in the IARU Region 2 competition.
He'll compete in September in the ARDF 12th World Championship in the Czech
Republic. Thompson also has taught DFing to Scouts. In addition, he serves
as a net control station for his local ARES net and for the Hospital
Disaster Support Communications System.

During numerous science fairs, Thompson has demonstrated his grasp of the
technical side of ham radio. He designed and built a new type of quad
antenna--the fractal quad--for a regional science fair, making him an
"honored participant." He also mentors other youth through his active
participation in the Boy Scouts' radio merit badge program.

Thompson said he was surprised to be named the 2003 HPM Award winner. "I was
thrilled that there were two winners, because it lets me know that there are
other young hams with major accomplishments," he said. "I congratulate
Andrea, KG4IUM, on winning this award also."

Both are Amateur Extra class licensees. Each will receive a $1500 stipend
and engraved plaques.

There were multiple winners as well of the 2003 Doug DeMaw, W1FB, Technical
Excellence Award. Created to honor the late Doug DeMaw, W1FB--a former ARRL
staffer and one of the most widely published technical authors in Amateur
Radio history--the award goes to the author or authors of the best QST or
QEX technical article during the prior year.

The 2003 Technical Excellence Award will go to two sets of authors. The
Board recognized Bob Larkin, W7PUA, Larry Liljequist, W7SZ, and Ernest
Manly, W7LHL, for their July/August 2003 QEX article, "Microwave Propagation
in the Upper Troposphere." The Board also recognized ARRL Life Member Robert
Sommer, N4UU, for his August 2003 QST article "Optimum Radial Ground
Systems."

Donald P. Wright Jr, AA2F, is the winner of the 2003 ARRL Herb S. Brier
(W9AD) Instructor of the Year Award. Named for the late, long-time CQ
"Novice" column editor, the award honors an individual who represents the
spirit of Brier's effective and caring Amateur Radio instruction. The Lake
County Amateur Radio Club of Crown Point, Indiana, cosponsors the award.
Wright has been active in Amateur Radio education for more than 20 years and
has taught hundreds of individuals to prepare for their license
examinations.

Nick Lance Jr, KC5KBO, is the recipient of the 2003 ARRL Professional
Educator of the Year Award. This award goes to a teacher who uses Amateur
Radio within the curriculum. The Lambda Amateur Radio Club of Philadelphia
is the award cosponsor. Lance is solely responsible for assisting numerous
members of the astronaut corps and 29 of NASA's aerospace education
specialists to get their ham tickets. He also teaches a ham class to middle
schoolers and inspires them to pursue careers in technology.

Michael J. Duff, KG4SLH, is the recipient of the 2004 Philip J. McGan
Memorial Silver Antenna Award, honoring an amateur who demonstrates
outstanding Amateur Radio public relations success at the local, state or
national level. An ARRL Life Member, Duff has helped build public awareness
for Amateur Radio via radio, television and print and has reached out to the
public through informational displays and speaking engagements, continually
demonstrating his success as a public relations volunteer.

"Mike has the uncanny ability of successfully obtaining media and community
exposure," said Jack Jackson, N4JJ, who nominated Duff for the award. "He
has reached the youth through Boy Scouts and school programs as well as the
general community through library displays and public event information
booths."

The Board also honored two recipients with the 2003 ARRL Microwave
Development Award, which recognizes contributions to microwave equipment
design and development. Named were Brian D. Justin Jr, WA1ZMS, and John
Champa, K8OCL.

The Board recognized Justin for his pioneering work in developing the
Amateur Radio microwave bands above 30 GHz. In February, the ARRL Life
Member claimed a new world and North American DX record for the 241 GHz
band--49.35 miles. Champa, also an ARRL Life Member, was honored for his
leadership as chairman of the ARRL High Speed Multimedia Committee and for
the development of practical IEEE 802.11 "WiFi" technology for Amateur
Radio.

==>"WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER," ASTRONAUT TELLS STUDENTS IN JAPAN

It was a truly international Earth-space Amateur Radio contact July 13 when
International Space Station astronaut Mike Fincke, KE5AIT, spoke with
students at Meizen High School in Japan. Fincke, who's fluent in Japanese,
answered most questions in both Japanese and English. During the Amateur
Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact between NA1SS in
space and 8N6A in Japan, one questioner wanted to know what Fincke saw for
the future of space development.

"The future of space development is very important to everyone on the
planet," Fincke replied. "We need to work together, and we can go to the
moon, we can go to Mars, we can go to the stars."

Speaking of stars, Fincke told another student that he hasn't been able to
view any of the constellations from space because the ISS ports face
earthward. "The constellations are above us, and so far, I've only looked
down on the Earth, and the Earth is very bright," Fincke said.

The astronaut also noted that the ISS inhabitants could see pollution on
Earth from space. "Yes, we can see a little bit of environmental pollution,"
Fincke said in response to a student's question. "We must keep our planet
clean."

Regarding his newborn daughter Tarali, Fincke said he's only seen her via a
computer linkup.

Ten elementary pupils and seven junior high and high schoolers participated
in the event, which attracted attention from local and national news media.
An audience of 50 elementary, 20 junior high and 250 high school students
plus some 80 parents also was on hand.

The nearly nine-minute contact was marred by occasional signal dropout from
NA1SS. In all, Fincke answered 16 of the students' questions before he got
out of range. Osamu Nakamura, NH7TA, who attends Meizen High School, served
as control operator for the direct 2-meter contact.
Nakamura received his General class FCC license last November specifically
for this event.

"All preparations for this contact were made by the Meizen High School
students themselves," said ARISS Japan mentor Satoshi Yasuda, 7M3TJZ/AD6GZ.
"This was a first for Japan and a very successful event for all!"

The next ARISS school group contact also will be with students in Japan.
On Thursday, July 29, fifth and sixth graders attending Habikigaoka
Elementary School in Habikino will have the opportunity to question Fincke.

ARISS is an international educational outreach program with US participation
by ARRL, AMSAT and NASA.

==>HAMS MUSTER IN WAKE OF FLORIDA CAPITAL BLACKOUT

Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) teams and local amateurs in the
Tallahassee, Florida, area volunteered to assist after electrical power went
out in about half of the capital city July 13. The region was affected for
about three hours before power was restored. More than a dozen amateurs
participated in the blackout response.

"We have a very active ARES group here in the Capital District, and all the
local hams as usual responded immediately," said Gadsden County Emergency
Coordinator Bill Mapoles, KG4LFT. At the request of local authorities, hams
helped during the blackout by reporting traffic difficulties, non-operating
traffic signals and other power failure-related problems, he said. The 2 PM
blackout during hot, humid weather, killed air conditioning, snarled traffic
and led Florida A&M University to close for the rest of the afternoon.

Former Capital District EC Kent Hutchinson, KC4TOC, started up an informal
Tallahassee blackout net, subsequently picked up by Paul Eakins, KJ4G.
Amateurs staffed the local emergency operations center and also assisted the
American Red Cross, which opened a shelter and three aid stations.

"I'm proud to be a part of our local ARES group," Mapoles said, "and I can
say that we, in the Capital District, are prepared for anything."

==>JOHN D. KRAUS, W8JK, SK

Radio astronomer, antenna designer, cosmic explorer and author John D.
Kraus, W8JK, of Delaware, Ohio, died July 18. He was 94. While he enjoyed a
worldwide reputation, Kraus is perhaps best known in Amateur Radio circles
for his bi-directional wire beam antenna--often dubbed the '8JK array. Other
important Kraus designs include the corner reflector and helix antennas.

The Michigan native was a pioneer of radiotelescope design and the father of
the "Big Ear" radiotelescope. Following an early fascination with radio,
Kraus first became licensed as 8AFJ. He later was granted the now-famous
W8JK call sign. A graduate of the University of Michigan, he joined the
faculty of the Ohio State University 1946, serving as a professor of
electrical engineering and astronomy and founding and directing the OSU
Radio Observatory. In that capacity, Kraus designed and oversaw construction
of the Big Ear on land owned by Ohio Wesleyan University.

In 1978, after the "Big Ear" detected the still-unidentified "Wow!" signal
that suggested the possibility of intelligent life elsewhere in the
universe, Kraus launched Cosmic Search, a magazine devoted to the search for
extraterrestrial intelligence. The Big Ear fell victim to development
pressures and was torn down in 1998.

Kraus's classic textbook Antennas, now in its third edition, has been an
engineering school staple for decades. Among his other titles are
Electromagnetics, Radio Astronomy, Big Ear, Big Ear Two and Our Cosmic
Universe. Kraus also wrote several articles for QST. He did a "recap and
update" of his W8JK antenna in the June 1982 issue. An article in the July
1970 edition describes a "W8JK 5-Band Rotary Beam Antenna." A 1934 QST
article by Kraus highlights "Amateur Radio in the Soviet Union."

Kraus was a fellow of the IEEE and a member of the National Academy of
Engineering. In 1996, Dayton Hamvention honored Kraus as the recipient of
its Special Achievement Award. In 2001, CQ named Kraus to the inaugural
class of its Amateur Radio Hall of Fame.

==>SOLAR UPDATE

Solar sage Tad "I Wear My Sunglasses At Night" Cook, K7RA, Seattle,
Washington, reports: Rising solar activity is in the news this week.
Sunspot 652--a really big one--is currently looking straight at Earth. We
are also experiencing effects from a coronal mass ejection from this spot.
Early Thursday, July 22 (Wednesday night in the Americas) geomagnetic K
indices were at zero at all latitudes--even above the Arctic Circle. The
effects of the coronal mass ejection itself were unimportant, but there was
a strong solar wind behind it and the interplanetary magnetic field pointed
south, which makes Earth vulnerable. By Thursday night K indices were at
five and six.

This week's average daily sunspot numbers, compared with the previous
week's, rose more than 72 points. Average daily solar flux rose nearly 48
points. When the daily sunspot number reached 176 on Monday July 19, it was
the highest reading of this index since November 30, 2003. The solar flux at
175.2 on July 20 was the highest flux value since November 24 of last year.

Of course, this doesn't signal any sort of upward trend in the solar cycle,
but at this point there is still enough variation to provide some excitement
and interest.

For July 23-26, Friday through Monday, the predicted planetary A index is
25, 15, 10 and 10. Predicted solar flux for those same dates is 170, 160,
160 and 150. For HF, we generally want sunspot counts to be high for several
days with stable geomagnetic conditions. Often the two don't arrive
together.

Sunspot numbers for July 15 through 21 were 146, 142, 165, 169, 176, 147 and
162, with a mean of 158.1. The 10.7 cm flux was 145.7, 146.5, 149.2, 155.1,
170.2, 175.2 and 172.2, with a mean of 159.2. Estimated planetary A indices
were 9, 12, 24, 9, 9, 9 and 6, with a mean of 11.1. Estimated mid-latitude A
indices were 7, 8, 13, 6, 8, 6 and 5, with a mean of 7.6.

* Correction: In the "In Brief" news item "Actor Marlon Brando,
KE6PZH/FO8GJ, SK," appearing in The ARRL Letter, Vol 23, No 28 (Jul 16,
2004), we erred in a statement regarding Brando's real name. He was born
Marlon Brando Jr, although he appears in the FCC database under the name
"Martin Brandeaux," an apparent pseudonym. His FO8GJ listing indicates both
names.

* AMSAT asks patience as Echo AO-51 checkout continues: AMSAT-NA says "much
more work and testing is yet to be done" before it can open the Echo
AO-51 Amateur Radio satellite for general use by the amateur community.
Commissioning continues for AO-51, with ground controllers checking out the
satellite's software on the ground and reloading and testing software on the
satellite, an AMSAT bulletin reported. When Echo is in the sun, telemetry
data also are being collected to work on attitude determination.
AMSAT says the command team also must ensure that the satellite's hardware
is working properly before making it available for use. At some point in the
AO-51 proveout, the satellite will become available for experimental
operation. "At the present time it is anticipated that Echo will be opened
initially in 9k6 digital mode, via the BBS system," AMSAT said. "After
running a few days in that mode, the FM repeater may be enabled." AMSAT says
all modes will start at low power and gather data while looking at the
overall health of the satellite--specifically the power consumption in each
configuration. Power will gradually be increased as ground controllers
monitor the data. "The command team asks at the present time, that you
continue to not transmit to Echo," AMSAT said. "Please continue to show
restraint, and you will be making your first contacts through Echo soon."
AMSAT-NA will issue a bulletin when AO-51 becomes available for use.--AMSAT

* Wireless Institute of Australia pushes ahead on 5 MHz proposal: The
Wireless Institute of Australia (WIA) plans to soon ask the Australian
Communications Authority (ACA) to consider establishing a set of Amateur
Radio channels in the 60-meter (5 MHz) band. "We have put together a list of
six proposed 5 MHz single-frequency allocations," said WIA Director Glenn
Dunstan, VK4DU. He said the WIA came up with the proposed allocations--which
WIA has not yet released--using the ACA's on-line frequency database and a
database of Pacific 5 MHz channels. "The 5 MHz band is used heavily
throughout the Pacific," Dunstan points out, "and this would restrict any
amateur activity to a series of spot frequencies, with operation most
probably confined to upper sideband, as is the case in the US and the UK."
He said having frequencies available in the vicinity of 5 MHz would
particularly enhance the capabilities of the Wireless Institute Civil
Emergency Network (WICEN)--Australia's equivalent of the Amateur Radio
Emergency Service (ARES). The WIA, which has been undergoing a
restructuring, now has a national Web site <http://www.wia.org.au>.

* First western Canada LF QSO reported: British Columbia amateurs Steve
McDonald, VE7SL, Mayne Island, and Scott Tilley, VE7TIL, Vancouver
reportedly completed the first western Canadian contact on the 2200 meter
band on July 10. McDonald said the contact between the two stations on
137.754 kHz spanned a distance of approximately 50 km (about 31 miles).
"VE7TIL utilized slow-speed CW--QRSS3--mode, while VE7SL used normal CW,"
McDonald said. VE7TIL was running a homebrew transmitter that ran about 1 W
output, while VE7SL was using a homebrew crystal-controlled exciter into a
single FET amplifier at 100W output. "Both of us used similar antenna
systems for transmitting--a loaded three-wire flattop T," McDonald said, and
small loop antennas for receiving. McDonald said he hoped their efforts
would stimulate more interest in LF in western Canada. For more information
about 136 kHz activity and equipment, visit The VE7SL Radio Notebook
<http://www.imagenisp.ca/jsm> and The Radio Beacon 'TIL' Web sites.

Subject: [PBARC] In memoriam - KJ5PE
Message-ID: <200407291633656.SM06844@egw2100>

All -
 
I have talked with Mary Ellen about this and she was thrilled to hear of the
proposal.  
 
What I would like to do is obtain Jack's call for the club and put Jack's
call on the 440 repeater.  I feel that this must be okay'd by the club
membership (but then again, maybe not).  I don't recall what the 10 year
cost of a vanity call sign but it is minimal for the 10 year period.
 
Below is what I've found on getting a "In memoriam" vanity call. It appears
that we can move pretty quickly on this.

Vanity Call Sign Systems
Request Types: In Memoriam 


If you are the license trustee for your club station, you may request in
memoriam for your club station the call sign previously shown on the
primary, secondary, repeater, auxiliary link, control or space station
license of a deceased person who was a member of the club. When so
requesting in memoriam for your club station: 

*	You may request the call sign even though it has been less than two
years following the death of the club member. Upon the death of the holder,
the call sign is assignable immediately to an otherwise eligible club
station. 

*	You must have in your station records a written statement (do not
send to FCC unless requested) from a spouse, child, grandchild, stepchild,
parent, grandparent, stepparent, brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister,
aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, or in-law of the deceased confirming the
deceased person's association with the club and showing consent of the
relative to your request. 

*	You must be an Amateur Extra Class operator to request a Group A
call sign. 

*	You must be an Amateur Extra or Advanced Class operator to request a
Group B call sign. 

*	You must be an Amateur Extra, Advanced, General, Technician Plus, or
Technician Class operator to request a Group C or D call sign. 

*	Your mailing address does not have to be in the Region designated in
the sequential system for the call sign requested. A call sign requested in
memoriam may be in any Region. 

*	You must enter the relationship to the deceased person giving
consent exactly as listed in the instruction, i.e., "child", "niece" or
"in-law". 

Frequently Asked Questions 	

Q. We want to honor the memory of former members of our club who are now
deceased by obtaining their old call signs for our club station. Is there a
provision for this? 

A. Yes. The in memoriam provision is specifically for this purpose. 

Q. What is the "in memoriam" provision? 

A. It allows amateur radio clubs to apply for the former call signs of
deceased members. 

Q. How is an in memoriam provision request different from a request-by-list
provision request by a club? 

A. An in memoriam provision request differs from a request-by-list provision
request in two ways: 

(1) An in memoriam provision request can be granted when the call sign
status shows expired or cancelled on the data base due to the death of the
holder. A request-by-list provision request can only be granted after the
person has been deceased for two years. 

(2) An in memoriam provision request for a call sign, as designated for
stations having mailing addresses in Regions 11, 12 or 13, does not have to
have a mailing address in that region. A request-by-list provision request
does have to have a mailing address in that region. 

Q. How should we make a request under the in memoriam provision? 

A. First, confirm that the license status shows expired or cancelled on the
database. Next, obtain a letter consenting to the assignment from a close
relative of the deceased person. Place the letter into the station records. 

Q. The member we want to honor died less then two years ago. Are we still
eligible to apply? 

A. Yes, if the license status shows expired or cancelled on the database.
The two year requirement does not apply for requests under the in memoriam
provision. 

Q. Our club station only recently received a license grant. How can we
obtain the former call sign of a deceased member for our club station? 

A. The application may be filed under the in memoriam provision. If the
member has been dead for at least two years, the application can also be
filed under the request-by-list provision. 

Q. We want to honor the memory of a non-member of our club who is now
deceased by obtaining his old call sign for our club station. How can we do
this? 

A. If the person died more than two years ago, the call sign is assignable
under the request-by-list provision. 

Q. But the person just died. Do we have to wait two years? 

A. Yes.

==>BROADBAND PROVIDER TO DROP BPL IN NEW YORK TRIAL COMMUNITY

The broadband provider that's been testing BPL in the Village of Penn Yan,
New York, reportedly plans to "move away" from that technology. The Western
New York community of some 5000 residents has been considering various
proposals with Data Ventures (DVI) to offer broadband service. A BPL trial
has been underway in Penn Yan for several months. The village reportedly
would get 10 percent of the generated revenue. According to an article in
the July 28 edition of the Finger Lakes Times Online, DVI now is proposing
to employ wireless mesh "WiFi" technology instead of BPL.
ARRL CEO David Sumner, K1ZZ, congratulated Penn Yan Mayor Douglas G.
Marchionda Jr and DVI for going with wireless broadband instead of BPL.

"Not only will your citizens receive better service, but a serious radio
spectrum pollution problem has been averted as well," Sumner said in a fax
to Marchionda and to DVI CEO Marc Burling. "We hope that other communities
will be able to profit from your experience." Sumner raised the issue of
interference complaints from the Penn Yan BPL trial with Marchionda last
April.

The Finger Lakes Times report quotes Burling as saying that his company
didn't feel BPL was "commercially deployable." He also cited issues with the
BPL trial including security concerns and interference--which will not be an
issue with the wireless system.

Burling told ARRL that the Penn Yan BPL system remains on line but would be
shut down once DVI starts deploying its wireless system. As for BPL, "We are
going to sit back and wait for an official ruling from the FCC and go from
there," Burling added.

Penn Yan already has rejected two DVI proposals to bring high-speed Internet
service to the community, the newspaper said. Village officials reportedly
met again with DVI representatives this week. DVI is partnering with Nortel
to offer the wireless service.

In a March 23 article "In This Power Play, High-Wire Act Riles Ham-Radio
Fans," Wall Street Journal reporter Ken Brown described a "firestorm" of
protest from amateurs when Penn Yan approved the BPL test plan.

ARRL also has learned that Energy East--a cooperative of New York State
Electric & Gas and Rochester Gas & Electric--decided against deploying BPL
in their Western New York service area. Energy East based its decision in
large part on the high levels of radio frequency interference an engineer
and company officials observed during a visit to the Penn Yan field trial.

On July 29, Grand Haven, Michigan, announced that it had become the first
community in the US to deploy a WiFi network
<http://www.ottawawireless.net/about-us/press-room.html> that blankets the
city and up to 15 miles off shore in Lake Michigan with broadband Internet
access.

For more information on BPL, visit the "Broadband Over Power Line (BPL) and
Amateur Radio" <http://www.arrl.org/bpl/> page on the ARRL Web site.

==>ARRL SEEKS CLARIFICATION OF FCC RESPONSE TO BPL INTERFERENCE COMPLAINT

The ARRL wants the FCC to further explain its recent response to a North
Carolina amateur's complaint of BPL interference. FCC Office of Engineering
and Technology (OET) Deputy Chief Bruce A. Franca replied July
22 to an April 27 BPL interference complaint from Thomas A. Brown, N4TAB, of
Wake Forest. Brown had complained of BPL interference to his amateur HF
mobile station emanating from a Progress Energy Corp (PEC) BPL field trial
in the Raleigh area. In his letter, copied to ARRL, Franca said an on-site
investigation had concluded that PEC's BPL trial "is in compliance" with FCC
rules and that the company's ham band notching efforts "are effective"
to avoid the potential for harmful interference. ARRL CEO David Sumner,
K1ZZ, however, cited evidence to the contrary.

"It is not at all clear that the tests and measurements taken by the FCC .
. . established the absence of harmful interference to licensed stations,"
Sumner responded July 22. He said the League would like the OET to make its
test report available to the general public or at least to the League for
technical review and comment. The ARRL also wants to know what steps PEC
took between April 27 and June 28--when the FCC began its testing--to
address interference complaints from Brown and several other radio amateurs.

The FCC defines as "harmful" any interference that "seriously degrades,
obstructs or repeatedly interrupts a radiocommunication service operating in
accordance with the Radio Regulations."

According to Franca, FCC personnel "undertook extensive testing and
measurements" of the PEC BPL system between June 28 and July 2. The
complainant--Brown--says the FCC delegation never contacted him while it was
in North Carolina. Franca says FCC measurements indicated notch depths
averaging 24 dB below Part 15 emission limits, which he characterized as
"sufficient to eliminate any signals that would be deemed capable of causing
harmful interference, including interference to amateur operations."

Franca maintained that "in no instances" were signal levels high enough to
"cause serious degradation, obstruction, or repeated interruption" of
amateur mobile or fixed communications. He conceded, however, that notching
on 10 meters was somewhat less effective at the low end of the band and said
the FCC would instruct PEC and its partner, Amperion, to widen its notch
there.

Sumner noted that the Part 15 device operators "must eliminate all harmful
interference, and therefore in some cases must achieve more--in certain
cases, considerably more--than a 24 dB reduction in order to be in
compliance." He also cited recent reports from amateurs in the area
indicating that strong BPL interference continues in parts of the PEC trial
zone.

Sumner told Franca that amateurs in the Raleigh area on July 17 and again
July 22 monitored a BPL signal "at full strength and causing harmful
interference" from 14.290 to 14.350 MHz. "Harmful interference" also was
reported in the first 100 kHz of 15 meters as well as on the WWV/WWVH
frequencies of 15.000 and 20.000 MHz and on several international
broadcasting bands.

"Even in the notched bands," Sumner said, "the interference was still
evident on ordinary amateur equipment." He said it's clear to ARRL that the
system's Holland Church Road site--where the most recent amateur
measurements were taken--is in violation of Part 15.

For his part, Brown--an engineer with considerable RF experience--said he
was glad the FCC finally took some action but found some of Franca's
assertions "very troubling." He told ARRL that his 14-page complaint cited
interference "sufficient to mask a weak signal," although it did not
register on his S meter. An active Amateur Radio Emergency Service District
Emergency Coordinator, Brown said it's not unusual to have to copy similarly
weak signals during an HF emergency net.

"I suspect the principal reason for their coming down here was to say
they've actually done something," Brown commented. He also worried that the
FCC was attempting to define a standard of "acceptable interference"
within the framework of what constitutes "harmful interference."

"If it interferes, it interferes," he maintained.

Sumner also requested that the FCC clarify some additional aspects of its
North Carolina testing and measurement activities.

"Until these points can be clarified," he concluded, "we trust that the
Commission will not permit its conclusion to be erroneously represented as
having given the Progress Energy trials a 'clean bill of health.'"

==>AMSAT "ECHO" SATELLITE OPENS FOR FM VOICE TRIAL RUN

AMSAT-NA's new "Echo" satellite (AO-51) has been turned on for general use
in FM repeat mode for a trial period of about three weeks. During that time,
command stations on Earth will monitor AO-51's power budget and adjust the
UHF Transmitter B (TX B) power as needed for good battery management.
They'll also be watching the AMSAT Bulletin Board e-mail reflector,
amsat-bb@amsat.org, for reports of how Echo is working.

"We are most interested in hearing about how well Echo hears you and how
well you hear it," said the Echo Command Team--Jim White, WD0E, and Mike
Kingery, KE4AZN--in an AMSAT bulletin. White and Kingery note that this is a
trial period of the FM voice repeater. The digital portion of Echo is not
yet open for use.

AMSAT Vice President for User Services Bruce Paige, KK5DO, says reports of
successful QSOs on Echo's first day of operation came from all over the
world, including the US, Brazil, New Zealand and Germany.

A Russian Dnepr LV rocket carried AO-51 and several other payloads into
orbit June 29 from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The 10-inch-square
microsat, circling some 800 km above Earth in a sun-synchronous orbit, will
permit voice communication using handheld transceivers.

The digital transponder and the store-and-forward BBS, are not yet open for
general use.

Initially, the AO-51 downlink transmitter was running at about 0.5 W. At
that power level, AMSAT says, Earth stations will need a small directional
antenna to hear it. If onboard power permits, ground controllers will slowly
increase the transmitter's output during the trial period.

The Echo FM voice uplink frequency is 145.920 MHz, and the downlink is
435.300 MHz. The downlink transmitter will come on when it hears an uplink
signal with a 67 Hz CTCSS (PL) tone for about 1 second, and it will stay on
for 10 seconds after that signal goes away. "This operation is just like a
terrestrial FM repeater with a 1 second 'kerchunk' filter and a 10 second
hang time," AMSAT noted. Transmitter A (TX A), now sending telemetry,
generally will continue to operate on 435.150 MHz.

AMSAT points out that Echo, which launched June 29, is still "wobbling a
great deal," so the downlink polarization sense will vary.

The Echo Command Team says it expects Echo will be heavily used during the
first few days of the trial period. "It is good amateur practice and common
courtesy to let everyone have a chance," they said. "Echo will hear you as
well as or better than any previous amateur FM repeater satellite."

With hundreds of stations trying out AO-51, ground controllers say they
expect the transmitter will be on continuously when the spacecraft is over
populated areas.

The Echo satellite project is still some $8000 short of the $110,000 that
was needed to launch the spacecraft. AMSAT guaranteed the full fare by
borrowing from its dedicated funds, which now must be repaid. AMSAT--a
501(c)(3) organization--welcomes additional donations to bridge the funding
gap. Visit the AMSAT AO-Echo Web page for additional details.--AMSAT News

==>VOLUNTEER EXAMINER COORDINATORS DISCUSS QUESTION POOLS, RESTRUCTURING

The size, scope and comprehension level of Amateur Radio examination
questions occupied much of the discussion as 11 of the nation's 14 Volunteer
Examiner coordinators gathered this month in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. But
those attending the National Conference of Volunteer Examiner Coordinators
(NCVEC) annual meeting July 23 reached no firm conclusions as they await FCC
action on Amateur Radio restructuring. The FCC's Bill Cross, W3TN, told the
VECs that the Commission--with help from some law school interns--is
reviewing the approximately 6000 comments filed on 18 petitions addressing
the Morse code as an exam element and Amateur Radio restructuring. Cross
informed the VECs that a decision on restructuring or the Morse code issue
is not imminent.

"He indicated that some time will be necessary to review all the comments to
glean some consensus on the number of license classes, whether or not to
retain Morse code as a licensing requirement for HF operation, the proposed
auto-upgrading of certain license classes and what to call any new
beginner's license," said ARRL VEC Manager Bart Jahnke, W9JJ.

FCC Special Counsel for Enforcement Riley Hollingsworth told the VECs he's
"really aggravated" to still be dealing with enforcement issues resulting
from several 1999 examination sessions in Yucaipa, California "where VEs
apparently sold licenses." The situation occurred, Hollingsworth said,
because "VEC management was asleep at the wheel."

"It was a failure of imagination--a failure to think on the part of the
manager about what he was there for in the first place," said
Hollingsworth--borrowing a phrase from the recent 9/11 Commission report.
In the Yucaipa case, he said, several volunteer examiners signed off on 250
examinations in a 26-month period. Following a 2000 FCC audit into exam
sessions in Puerto Rico, Hollingsworth said, the FCC recalled 100 applicants
for retesting, and only one showed up. Although Hollingsworth did not
identify the VEC, both the Yucaipa and Puerto Rico cases involved the W5YI
VEC, which referred the California exam session irregularities to the FCC
after investigating on its own. In Puerto Rico, the W5YI VEC discontinued
the services of all Puerto Rico VEs but those associated with the Arecibo
Observatory Amateur Radio Club after irregularities came to light there.

"I can tell you that so far I have been a fan of the VEC program,"
Hollingsworth said. "But if we have one more case of the magnitude of the
Puerto Rico or Yucaipa cases, that's going to change fast." He pointed out
that the FCC does not have to accept the services of any given VEC, and he
said if any VECs are uncomfortable with taking responsibility for oversight,
following up and random reviews of their test sessions, they can stop being
VECs.

"You have an obligation to remain awake at the wheel, and the point is not
how fast or easily you can do your job, but how well you can do it." He said
today's applicants will determine the character of the Amateur Radio Service
in the future. "If your own VEs are running a license factory right in front
of you, we are going to hold you responsible."

Hollingsworth concluded by saying that he expects the VECs to "add integrity
to the process" and be vigilant to avoid future embarrassments and problems.

Filling in for Question Pool Committee Chairman Scotty Neustadter, W4WW,
Jahnke reported on the past year's QPC activities, which included release of
a new General class (Element 3) examination pool. Jahnke repeated a call for
input to the Amateur Extra class (Element 4) syllabus, but he noted that any
Element 4 review may be suspended if and when the FCC proceeds toward
restructuring and establishment of a new beginner's license.

Chosen to serve on the Question Pool Committee were Larry Pollock, NB5X, of
the W5YI VEC, Neustadter, Wiley and Jahnke. Wiley will chair the committee.

ARRL Amateur Radio Education and Technology Program (ETP) Coordinator Mark
Spencer, WA8SME, wrapped up the conference with a presentation covering
youth initiatives, instruction, motivating teachers and schools, and related
ETP activities. He also displayed various project boards designed for
classroom use.

==>FIRES MAKE JULY A BUSY MONTH FOR NEVADA ARES VOLUNTEERS

Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) volunteers in Southern Nevada have
been assisting firefighters attempting to quell the so-called Robbers'
Fire. The 290-acre timber and brush blaze in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National
Forest some 36 miles northwest of Las Vegas has led authorities to close at
least three state highways. Earlier this month Nevada ARES volunteers at the
opposite end of the state assisted the American Red Cross during the
destructive Waterfall Fire.

"The activation of Clark County ARES/RACES continues for the Robbers' Fire
on Mount Charleston," said Southern Nevada District Emergency Coordinator
Glenn Hale, KB7REO, in a July 28 report to Nevada Section Manager Dick
Flanagan, K7VC. "It does appear that things are getting under control.
Clark County ARES/RACES will be active at least through the weekend working
24 hour shifts."

Hale said that while ARES/RACES volunteers have handled some tactical
messages for supplies, their primary tasks have included programming and
issuing radios for firefighters as well as monitoring fire service radios.
He said an ARES Mutual Assistance Team (ARESMAT) request was implemented to
have Nye County ARES members assist if needed.

After the Waterfall Fire broke out in mid-July, Bruce Wade, NZ7A, the
American Red Cross disaster relief operation director, contacted Northern
Nevada District Emergency Coordinator Don Carlson, KQ6FM, seeking ARES
assistance.

"An evacuation center was being set up, and he wanted staffing for both the
evacuation center and at the Red Cross chapter headquarters in Reno,"
Carlson said. Amateurs were deployed at the chapter headquarters and at the
evacuation center in Carson City--the state's capital.

"In less than an hour from the initial call," Don Carlson said, "Amateur
Radio communication through ARES had been established, and messages were
beginning to pass between the two locations." Meanwhile, Washoe County EC
Doug Abramson, KA7FOO, put out a successful plea for operators via the
Western Nevada Noon Net.

"The operations continued as the fire raged out of control, coming
dangerously close to the state capital city itself," Carlson said. "At one
point the fire was about a quarter mile from the governor's mansion and a
local college."

The Carson City Sheriff's Office ordered evacuations, and by the evening of
July 15, hundreds of residents from communities west and northwest of Carson
City started arriving at the evacuation center--by then an official Red
Cross shelter. A second shelter opened the next day at a high school in
southern Washoe County and immediately got Amateur Radio support.

Carlson said the ARES activation continued until July 18. During the
four-day event, more than 35 amateur operators from three Northern Nevada
counties participated. The Waterfall Fire charred some 8700 acres and
destroyed more than a dozen homes. The ARES activation drew words of praise
from Wade on behalf of the Sierra Nevada Chapter, American Red Cross.

"At all times your operators were on the ball and helped make the disaster
relief operation go much smoother," Wade wrote. "Because it took a long time
to get cell phones to all the our key people, many times you were the only
link between the headquarters and the shelters."

Carlson noted that many of the participating ARES volunteers had taken the
ARRL Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Level 1 course, and several had
completed Level 2. He said their performance during the fire activation was
testimony to their effectiveness.

==>ISS CREW SCHEDULE TIGHT FOR CASUAL HAMMING

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) says the ISS
Expedition 9 crew of Mike Fincke, KE5AIT, and Gennady Padalka, RN3DT, has
very limited time to pursue casual hamming from space.

"The ARISS program is fortunate to have another all-ham crew that is very
enthusiastic about talking to ground-based Amateur Radio operators," said
ARISS spokesperson Scott Stevens, N3ASA. "The ARISS team wants to remind
everyone that the crew is on a strict schedule, so the best time frame to
try contacting them is between 0800 and 1900 UTC." Chances are even better
during weekends, he added.

Fincke and Padalka both got on the air--from NA1SS and RS0ISS,
respectively--during ARRL Field Day in June, making some 60 contacts.
Fincke has also made some casual QSOs.

The ISS worldwide downlink frequency is 145.80 MHz. The FM voice uplink is
144.49 MHz in ITU Region 2 (which includes the Americas) and Region 3 (South
Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Oceania), and it's 145.200 MHz for Region 1
(Europe, the Middle East, Africa and North Asia.).

July 19 marked the midpoint of the Expedition 9 crew's six-month stay aboard
the ISS. Fincke and Padalka are set to return to Earth October 19.
Now preparing for an August 3 space walk, the crew this week packed unneeded
equipment and trash into the Progress supply vehicle, which was scheduled to
undock July 30. Undocking the Progress will clear the way for the space
walk.

The ARISS gear will be shut down during the space walk, starting at 0850 UTC
on Monday, August 2. The radios should return to service approximately 0850
UTC on Wednesday, August 4.

ARISS is an international educational outreach program with US participation
from NASA, AMSAT and ARRL.

==>SOLAR UPDATE

RA the Sun God Tad "Might As Well Be Walkin' on the Sun" Cook, K7RA,
Seattle, Washington, reports: Sunspot 652 has rotated out of view, but it
was the source of major excitement this week. Coronal mass ejections caused
big geomagnetic storms on Sunday and Tuesday, July 25 and 27. The planetary
A index was 122 on Sunday, 31 the next day and 162 on Tuesday.
This caused radio blackouts on the HF bands, but it provided some excitement
for 6-meter operators who reported great openings. The activity was enhanced
by a south-pointing interplanetary magnetic field, leaving the Earth
vulnerable to blasts of energy from the sun.

Over the next few days expect unsettled to active geomagnetic conditions,
and declining sunspot and solar flux numbers. Predicted planetary A index
for Friday through Monday, July 30 through August 2, is 30, 20, 20 and 8.
Predicted solar flux for the same period is 95, 90, 85 and 90. Solar flux is
expected to peak again at about 125 around August 14-18. More sunspot
activity is ahead, at least for the near term.

Sunspot numbers for July 22 through 28 were 117, 86, 109, 130, 113, 66 and
66, with a mean of 98.1. The 10.7 cm flux was 172.9, 165.1, 147.2, 156.2,
128, 118.1 and 100.7, with a mean of 141.2. Estimated planetary A indices
were 19, 47, 27, 122, 31, 162 and 14, with a mean of 60.3. Estimated
mid-latitude A indices were 13, 21, 29, 64, 26, 119 and 11, with a mean of
40.4.

* California Historical Radio Society obtains late ARRL director's call
sign: The call sign of the late ARRL Pacific Division Director Jim Maxwell,
W6CF, will live on in memoriam, thanks to Maxwell's widow, Trudy, KC6NAX,
and the California Historical Radio Society (CHRS)
<http://www.californiahistoricalradio.com>. The club, which is restoring the
former KRE (AM 1400 kHz) radio studio in Berkeley as its headquarters and as
a vintage radio museum, will use W6CF for its amateur club station.
Trudy Maxwell, who assented to the call sign acquisition, also donated her
husband's extensive technical library to CHRS, and it has been moved to the
KRE location as the James Maxwell Memorial Radio Library and Archive.
Maxwell had an abiding interest in radio and electronics history, and Jim
and Trudy Maxwell spearheaded initial efforts at ARRL Headquarters to
catalogue documents from the League's early years (that work continues under
Archivist Perry Williams, W1UED). Maxwell died unexpectedly February 6,
2003, at the age of 69, after serving three years on the ARRL Board.

==>BROADBAND PROVIDER TO DROP BPL IN NEW YORK TRIAL COMMUNITY

The broadband provider that's been testing BPL in the Village of Penn Yan,
New York, reportedly plans to "move away" from that technology. The Western
New York community of some 5000 residents has been considering various
proposals with Data Ventures (DVI) to offer broadband service. A BPL trial
has been underway in Penn Yan for several months. The village reportedly
would get 10 percent of the generated revenue. According to an article in
the July 28 edition of the Finger Lakes Times Online, DVI now is proposing
to employ wireless mesh "WiFi" technology instead of BPL.
ARRL CEO David Sumner, K1ZZ, congratulated Penn Yan Mayor Douglas G.
Marchionda Jr and DVI for going with wireless broadband instead of BPL.

"Not only will your citizens receive better service, but a serious radio
spectrum pollution problem has been averted as well," Sumner said in a fax
to Marchionda and to DVI CEO Marc Burling. "We hope that other communities
will be able to profit from your experience." Sumner raised the issue of
interference complaints from the Penn Yan BPL trial with Marchionda last
April.

The Finger Lakes Times report quotes Burling as saying that his company
didn't feel BPL was "commercially deployable." He also cited issues with the
BPL trial including security concerns and interference--which will not be an
issue with the wireless system.

Burling told ARRL that the Penn Yan BPL system remains on line but would be
shut down once DVI starts deploying its wireless system. As for BPL, "We are
going to sit back and wait for an official ruling from the FCC and go from
there," Burling added.

Penn Yan already has rejected two DVI proposals to bring high-speed Internet
service to the community, the newspaper said. Village officials reportedly
met again with DVI representatives this week. DVI is partnering with Nortel
to offer the wireless service.

In a March 23 article "In This Power Play, High-Wire Act Riles Ham-Radio
Fans," Wall Street Journal reporter Ken Brown described a "firestorm" of
protest from amateurs when Penn Yan approved the BPL test plan.

ARRL also has learned that Energy East--a cooperative of New York State
Electric & Gas and Rochester Gas & Electric--decided against deploying BPL
in their Western New York service area. Energy East based its decision in
large part on the high levels of radio frequency interference an engineer
and company officials observed during a visit to the Penn Yan field trial.

On July 29, Grand Haven, Michigan, announced that it had become the first
community in the US to deploy a WiFi network
<http://www.ottawawireless.net/about-us/press-room.html> that blankets the

==>ARRL SEEKS CLARIFICATION OF FCC RESPONSE TO BPL INTERFERENCE COMPLAINT

The ARRL wants the FCC to further explain its recent response to a North
Carolina amateur's complaint of BPL interference. FCC Office of Engineering
and Technology (OET) Deputy Chief Bruce A. Franca replied July
22 to an April 27 BPL interference complaint from Thomas A. Brown, N4TAB, of
Wake Forest. Brown had complained of BPL interference to his amateur HF
mobile station emanating from a Progress Energy Corp (PEC) BPL field trial
in the Raleigh area. In his letter, copied to ARRL, Franca said an on-site
investigation had concluded that PEC's BPL trial "is in compliance" with FCC
rules and that the company's ham band notching efforts "are effective"
to avoid the potential for harmful interference. ARRL CEO David Sumner,
K1ZZ, however, cited evidence to the contrary.

"It is not at all clear that the tests and measurements taken by the FCC .
. . established the absence of harmful interference to licensed stations,"
Sumner responded July 22. He said the League would like the OET to make its
test report available to the general public or at least to the League for
technical review and comment. The ARRL also wants to know what steps PEC
took between April 27 and June 28--when the FCC began its testing--to
address interference complaints from Brown and several other radio amateurs.

The FCC defines as "harmful" any interference that "seriously degrades,
obstructs or repeatedly interrupts a radiocommunication service operating in
accordance with the Radio Regulations."

According to Franca, FCC personnel "undertook extensive testing and
measurements" of the PEC BPL system between June 28 and July 2. The
complainant--Brown--says the FCC delegation never contacted him while it was
in North Carolina. Franca says FCC measurements indicated notch depths
averaging 24 dB below Part 15 emission limits, which he characterized as
"sufficient to eliminate any signals that would be deemed capable of causing
harmful interference, including interference to amateur operations."

Franca maintained that "in no instances" were signal levels high enough to
"cause serious degradation, obstruction, or repeated interruption" of
amateur mobile or fixed communications. He conceded, however, that notching
on 10 meters was somewhat less effective at the low end of the band and said
the FCC would instruct PEC and its partner, Amperion, to widen its notch
there.

Sumner noted that the Part 15 device operators "must eliminate all harmful
interference, and therefore in some cases must achieve more--in certain
cases, considerably more--than a 24 dB reduction in order to be in
compliance." He also cited recent reports from amateurs in the area
indicating that strong BPL interference continues in parts of the PEC trial
zone.

Sumner told Franca that amateurs in the Raleigh area on July 17 and again
July 22 monitored a BPL signal "at full strength and causing harmful
interference" from 14.290 to 14.350 MHz. "Harmful interference" also was
reported in the first 100 kHz of 15 meters as well as on the WWV/WWVH
frequencies of 15.000 and 20.000 MHz and on several international
broadcasting bands.

"Even in the notched bands," Sumner said, "the interference was still
evident on ordinary amateur equipment." He said it's clear to ARRL that the
system's Holland Church Road site--where the most recent amateur
measurements were taken--is in violation of Part 15.

For his part, Brown--an engineer with considerable RF experience--said he
was glad the FCC finally took some action but found some of Franca's
assertions "very troubling." He told ARRL that his 14-page complaint cited
interference "sufficient to mask a weak signal," although it did not
register on his S meter. An active Amateur Radio Emergency Service District
Emergency Coordinator, Brown said it's not unusual to have to copy similarly
weak signals during an HF emergency net.

"I suspect the principal reason for their coming down here was to say
they've actually done something," Brown commented. He also worried that the
FCC was attempting to define a standard of "acceptable interference"
within the framework of what constitutes "harmful interference."

"If it interferes, it interferes," he maintained.

Sumner also requested that the FCC clarify some additional aspects of its
North Carolina testing and measurement activities.

"Until these points can be clarified," he concluded, "we trust that the
Commission will not permit its conclusion to be erroneously represented as
having given the Progress Energy trials a 'clean bill of health.'"

==>AMSAT "ECHO" SATELLITE OPENS FOR FM VOICE TRIAL RUN

AMSAT-NA's new "Echo" satellite (AO-51) has been turned on for general use
in FM repeat mode for a trial period of about three weeks. During that time,
command stations on Earth will monitor AO-51's power budget and adjust the
UHF Transmitter B (TX B) power as needed for good battery management.
They'll also be watching the AMSAT Bulletin Board e-mail reflector,
amsat-bb@amsat.org, for reports of how Echo is working.

"We are most interested in hearing about how well Echo hears you and how
well you hear it," said the Echo Command Team--Jim White, WD0E, and Mike
Kingery, KE4AZN--in an AMSAT bulletin. White and Kingery note that this is a
trial period of the FM voice repeater. The digital portion of Echo is not
yet open for use.

AMSAT Vice President for User Services Bruce Paige, KK5DO, says reports of
successful QSOs on Echo's first day of operation came from all over the
world, including the US, Brazil, New Zealand and Germany.

A Russian Dnepr LV rocket carried AO-51 and several other payloads into
orbit June 29 from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The 10-inch-square
microsat, circling some 800 km above Earth in a sun-synchronous orbit, will
permit voice communication using handheld transceivers.

The digital transponder and the store-and-forward BBS, are not yet open for
general use.

Initially, the AO-51 downlink transmitter was running at about 0.5 W. At
that power level, AMSAT says, Earth stations will need a small directional
antenna to hear it. If onboard power permits, ground controllers will slowly
increase the transmitter's output during the trial period.

The Echo FM voice uplink frequency is 145.920 MHz, and the downlink is
435.300 MHz. The downlink transmitter will come on when it hears an uplink
signal with a 67 Hz CTCSS (PL) tone for about 1 second, and it will stay on
for 10 seconds after that signal goes away. "This operation is just like a
terrestrial FM repeater with a 1 second 'kerchunk' filter and a 10 second
hang time," AMSAT noted. Transmitter A (TX A), now sending telemetry,
generally will continue to operate on 435.150 MHz.

AMSAT points out that Echo, which launched June 29, is still "wobbling a
great deal," so the downlink polarization sense will vary.

The Echo Command Team says it expects Echo will be heavily used during the
first few days of the trial period. "It is good amateur practice and common
courtesy to let everyone have a chance," they said. "Echo will hear you as
well as or better than any previous amateur FM repeater satellite."

With hundreds of stations trying out AO-51, ground controllers say they
expect the transmitter will be on continuously when the spacecraft is over
populated areas.

The Echo satellite project is still some $8000 short of the $110,000 that
was needed to launch the spacecraft. AMSAT guaranteed the full fare by
borrowing from its dedicated funds, which now must be repaid. AMSAT--a
501(c)(3) organization--welcomes additional donations to bridge the funding
gap. Visit the AMSAT AO-Echo Web page for additional details.--AMSAT News

==>VOLUNTEER EXAMINER COORDINATORS DISCUSS QUESTION POOLS, RESTRUCTURING

The size, scope and comprehension level of Amateur Radio examination
questions occupied much of the discussion as 11 of the nation's 14 Volunteer
Examiner coordinators gathered this month in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. But
those attending the National Conference of Volunteer Examiner Coordinators
(NCVEC) annual meeting July 23 reached no firm conclusions as they await FCC
action on Amateur Radio restructuring. The FCC's Bill Cross, W3TN, told the
VECs that the Commission--with help from some law school interns--is
reviewing the approximately 6000 comments filed on 18 petitions addressing
the Morse code as an exam element and Amateur Radio restructuring. Cross
informed the VECs that a decision on restructuring or the Morse code issue
is not imminent.

"He indicated that some time will be necessary to review all the comments to
glean some consensus on the number of license classes, whether or not to
retain Morse code as a licensing requirement for HF operation, the proposed
auto-upgrading of certain license classes and what to call any new
beginner's license," said ARRL VEC Manager Bart Jahnke, W9JJ.

FCC Special Counsel for Enforcement Riley Hollingsworth told the VECs he's
"really aggravated" to still be dealing with enforcement issues resulting
from several 1999 examination sessions in Yucaipa, California "where VEs
apparently sold licenses." The situation occurred, Hollingsworth said,
because "VEC management was asleep at the wheel."

"It was a failure of imagination--a failure to think on the part of the
manager about what he was there for in the first place," said
Hollingsworth--borrowing a phrase from the recent 9/11 Commission report.
In the Yucaipa case, he said, several volunteer examiners signed off on 250
examinations in a 26-month period. Following a 2000 FCC audit into exam
sessions in Puerto Rico, Hollingsworth said, the FCC recalled 100 applicants
for retesting, and only one showed up. Although Hollingsworth did not
identify the VEC, both the Yucaipa and Puerto Rico cases involved the W5YI
VEC, which referred the California exam session irregularities to the FCC
after investigating on its own. In Puerto Rico, the W5YI VEC discontinued
the services of all Puerto Rico VEs but those associated with the Arecibo
Observatory Amateur Radio Club after irregularities came to light there.

"I can tell you that so far I have been a fan of the VEC program,"
Hollingsworth said. "But if we have one more case of the magnitude of the
Puerto Rico or Yucaipa cases, that's going to change fast." He pointed out
that the FCC does not have to accept the services of any given VEC, and he
said if any VECs are uncomfortable with taking responsibility for oversight,
following up and random reviews of their test sessions, they can stop being
VECs.

"You have an obligation to remain awake at the wheel, and the point is not
how fast or easily you can do your job, but how well you can do it." He said
today's applicants will determine the character of the Amateur Radio Service
in the future. "If your own VEs are running a license factory right in front
of you, we are going to hold you responsible."

Hollingsworth concluded by saying that he expects the VECs to "add integrity
to the process" and be vigilant to avoid future embarrassments and problems.

Filling in for Question Pool Committee Chairman Scotty Neustadter, W4WW,
Jahnke reported on the past year's QPC activities, which included release of
a new General class (Element 3) examination pool. Jahnke repeated a call for
input to the Amateur Extra class (Element 4) syllabus, but he noted that any
Element 4 review may be suspended if and when the FCC proceeds toward
restructuring and establishment of a new beginner's license.

Chosen to serve on the Question Pool Committee were Larry Pollock, NB5X, of
the W5YI VEC, Neustadter, Wiley and Jahnke. Wiley will chair the committee.

ARRL Amateur Radio Education and Technology Program (ETP) Coordinator Mark
Spencer, WA8SME, wrapped up the conference with a presentation covering
youth initiatives, instruction, motivating teachers and schools, and related
ETP activities. He also displayed various project boards designed for
classroom use.

==>FIRES MAKE JULY A BUSY MONTH FOR NEVADA ARES VOLUNTEERS

Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) volunteers in Southern Nevada have
been assisting firefighters attempting to quell the so-called Robbers'
Fire. The 290-acre timber and brush blaze in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National
Forest some 36 miles northwest of Las Vegas has led authorities to close at
least three state highways. Earlier this month Nevada ARES volunteers at the
opposite end of the state assisted the American Red Cross during the
destructive Waterfall Fire.

"The activation of Clark County ARES/RACES continues for the Robbers' Fire
on Mount Charleston," said Southern Nevada District Emergency Coordinator
Glenn Hale, KB7REO, in a July 28 report to Nevada Section Manager Dick
Flanagan, K7VC. "It does appear that things are getting under control.
Clark County ARES/RACES will be active at least through the weekend working
24 hour shifts."

Hale said that while ARES/RACES volunteers have handled some tactical
messages for supplies, their primary tasks have included programming and
issuing radios for firefighters as well as monitoring fire service radios.
He said an ARES Mutual Assistance Team (ARESMAT) request was implemented to
have Nye County ARES members assist if needed.

After the Waterfall Fire broke out in mid-July, Bruce Wade, NZ7A, the
American Red Cross disaster relief operation director, contacted Northern
Nevada District Emergency Coordinator Don Carlson, KQ6FM, seeking ARES
assistance.

"An evacuation center was being set up, and he wanted staffing for both the
evacuation center and at the Red Cross chapter headquarters in Reno,"
Carlson said. Amateurs were deployed at the chapter headquarters and at the
evacuation center in Carson City--the state's capital.

"In less than an hour from the initial call," Don Carlson said, "Amateur
Radio communication through ARES had been established, and messages were
beginning to pass between the two locations." Meanwhile, Washoe County EC
Doug Abramson, KA7FOO, put out a successful plea for operators via the
Western Nevada Noon Net.

"The operations continued as the fire raged out of control, coming
dangerously close to the state capital city itself," Carlson said. "At one
point the fire was about a quarter mile from the governor's mansion and a
local college."

The Carson City Sheriff's Office ordered evacuations, and by the evening of
July 15, hundreds of residents from communities west and northwest of Carson
City started arriving at the evacuation center--by then an official Red
Cross shelter. A second shelter opened the next day at a high school in
southern Washoe County and immediately got Amateur Radio support.

Carlson said the ARES activation continued until July 18. During the
four-day event, more than 35 amateur operators from three Northern Nevada
counties participated. The Waterfall Fire charred some 8700 acres and
destroyed more than a dozen homes. The ARES activation drew words of praise
from Wade on behalf of the Sierra Nevada Chapter, American Red Cross.

"At all times your operators were on the ball and helped make the disaster
relief operation go much smoother," Wade wrote. "Because it took a long time
to get cell phones to all the our key people, many times you were the only
link between the headquarters and the shelters."

Carlson noted that many of the participating ARES volunteers had taken the
ARRL Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Level 1 course, and several had
completed Level 2. He said their performance during the fire activation was
testimony to their effectiveness.

==>ISS CREW SCHEDULE TIGHT FOR CASUAL HAMMING

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) says the ISS
Expedition 9 crew of Mike Fincke, KE5AIT, and Gennady Padalka, RN3DT, has
very limited time to pursue casual hamming from space.

"The ARISS program is fortunate to have another all-ham crew that is very
enthusiastic about talking to ground-based Amateur Radio operators," said
ARISS spokesperson Scott Stevens, N3ASA. "The ARISS team wants to remind
everyone that the crew is on a strict schedule, so the best time frame to
try contacting them is between 0800 and 1900 UTC." Chances are even better
during weekends, he added.

Fincke and Padalka both got on the air--from NA1SS and RS0ISS,
respectively--during ARRL Field Day in June, making some 60 contacts.
Fincke has also made some casual QSOs.

The ISS worldwide downlink frequency is 145.80 MHz. The FM voice uplink is
144.49 MHz in ITU Region 2 (which includes the Americas) and Region 3 (South
Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Oceania), and it's 145.200 MHz for Region 1
(Europe, the Middle East, Africa and North Asia.).

July 19 marked the midpoint of the Expedition 9 crew's six-month stay aboard
the ISS. Fincke and Padalka are set to return to Earth October 19.
Now preparing for an August 3 space walk, the crew this week packed unneeded
equipment and trash into the Progress supply vehicle, which was scheduled to
undock July 30. Undocking the Progress will clear the way for the space
walk.

The ARISS gear will be shut down during the space walk, starting at 0850 UTC
on Monday, August 2. The radios should return to service approximately 0850
UTC on Wednesday, August 4.

ARISS is an international educational outreach program with US participation
from NASA, AMSAT and ARRL.

==>SOLAR UPDATE

RA the Sun God Tad "Might As Well Be Walkin' on the Sun" Cook, K7RA,
Seattle, Washington, reports: Sunspot 652 has rotated out of view, but it
was the source of major excitement this week. Coronal mass ejections caused
big geomagnetic storms on Sunday and Tuesday, July 25 and 27. The planetary
A index was 122 on Sunday, 31 the next day and 162 on Tuesday.
This caused radio blackouts on the HF bands, but it provided some excitement
for 6-meter operators who reported great openings. The activity was enhanced
by a south-pointing interplanetary magnetic field, leaving the Earth
vulnerable to blasts of energy from the sun.

Over the next few days expect unsettled to active geomagnetic conditions,
and declining sunspot and solar flux numbers. Predicted planetary A index
for Friday through Monday, July 30 through August 2, is 30, 20, 20 and 8.
Predicted solar flux for the same period is 95, 90, 85 and 90. Solar flux is
expected to peak again at about 125 around August 14-18. More sunspot
activity is ahead, at least for the near term.

Sunspot numbers for July 22 through 28 were 117, 86, 109, 130, 113, 66 and
66, with a mean of 98.1. The 10.7 cm flux was 172.9, 165.1, 147.2, 156.2,
128, 118.1 and 100.7, with a mean of 141.2. Estimated planetary A indices
were 19, 47, 27, 122, 31, 162 and 14, with a mean of 60.3. Estimated
mid-latitude A indices were 13, 21, 29, 64, 26, 119 and 11, with a mean of
40.4.

W6CF, will live on in memoriam, thanks to Maxwell's widow, Trudy, KC6NAX,
and the California Historical Radio Society (CHRS)
<http://www.californiahistoricalradio.com>. The club, which is restoring the
former KRE (AM 1400 kHz) radio studio in Berkeley as its headquarters and as
a vintage radio museum, will use W6CF for its amateur club station.
Trudy Maxwell, who assented to the call sign acquisition, also donated her
husband's extensive technical library to CHRS, and it has been moved to the
KRE location as the James Maxwell Memorial Radio Library and Archive.
Maxwell had an abiding interest in radio and electronics history, and Jim
and Trudy Maxwell spearheaded initial efforts at ARRL Headquarters to
catalogue documents from the League's early years (that work continues under
Archivist Perry Williams, W1UED). Maxwell died unexpectedly February 6,
2003, at the age of 69, after serving three years on the ARRL Board.
