With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week. 

Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey," died peacefully at age 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.

==>FEDERAL AGENTS ARREST, DETAIN ALLEGED CALIFORNIA JAMMER

Reputed Los Angeles-area repeater jammer and former Amateur Radio licensee
Jack Gerritsen was taken off the air and into custody this week. Acting on a
criminal complaint, FBI special agents, accompanied by personnel from the
FCC Los Angeles Field Office, arrested the 68-year-old Gerritsen without
incident early May 5 at his home in Bell, California. Federal agents also
confiscated Gerritsen's radio equipment.

"A criminal complaint filed Wednesday afternoon charges Gerritsen with a
felony charge of malicious interference with a communications system
operated by the United States and a misdemeanor count of transmitting radio
signals without a license," said a May 5 statement from the office of Debra
W. Yang, US Attorney for the Central District of California. "The two
charges carry a potential penalty of 11 years in federal prison."

At an initial court appearance May 5, bond was set at $250,000 "fully
secured." A spokesman in the US Attorney's office explained that Gerritsen
will have to post property or cash to be released, but that it will be
several days before the necessary paperwork is ready--assuming that
Gerritsen is able to make bail. Once released on bond, Gerritsen would be
subject to home detention and barred from possessing any radio equipment,
the spokesman said, adding that Gerritsen's house would remain subject to
search to make sure.

Unless Gerritsen is indicted beforehand, a preliminary hearing in the case
is set for May 25, with arraignment to follow on May 31.

The criminal complaint says an FCC investigation revealed that Gerritsen
"transmits his prerecorded political messages and real-time harassment and
profanity for hours at a time, often making it impossible for licensed radio
operators to use the public frequencies."

Gerritsen already faces a total of $52,000 in FCC-imposed or proposed
forfeitures for alleged interference. In March, the FCC denied a Petition
for Reconsideration and upheld a $10,000 fine against Gerritsen for
interfering with Amateur Radio communications. Gerritsen has yet to pay the
fine.

An FBI affidavit sworn out this week in advance of obtaining a search
warrant of Gerritsen's residence indicates that FCC agents have been
investigating multiple instances of unlawful radio transmissions and
malicious interference attributed to Gerritsen over the past four years. FCC
agents on a regular basis have been monitoring radio transmissions said to
be coming from Gerritsen. They've also spoken with him in person and asked
to inspect his station, although earlier FCC documents say he refused that
request.

In addition to Amateur Radio repeater communications, Gerritsen is alleged
to have interfered with Military Affiliate Radio System (MARS)
transmissions. The FCC also reported that it has received complaints from
other government agencies that Gerritsen interfered with local and state
police and fire agencies, the American Red Cross, the US Coast Guard
Auxiliary and other radio services. A MARS training exercise in March had to
be canceled as a result of interference attributed to Gerritsen.

Earlier this week, Gerritsen, who briefly held the call sign KG6IRO as a
Technician licensee and still uses it on the air, was taken into custody by
Bell, California, police officers on an unrelated contempt of court citation
after violating the terms of a temporary restraining order (TRO) a local
radio amateur had obtained to keep Gerritsen off a local repeater. He was
released without bond after being held for a few hours and was reported back
on area repeaters not long afterward.

Radio amateurs on the West Coast have been complaining for months about the
slow pace of enforcement action in the Gerritsen case. Los Angeles-area
repeater owners have taken to shutting down their machines to avoid the
nearly constant barrage of malicious interference attributed to Gerritsen.

Five years ago, Gerritsen was convicted in state court of interfering with
police radio transmissions and sentenced to 38 months in prison. Following
his release in July 2003, the FCC soon began receiving complaints about
Gerritsen's activity on the airwaves, according to this week's criminal
complaint.

Yang's office said the FBI "received substantial assistance" from the FCC in
the case.

==>TEXAS BPL BILL NOW IN HANDS OF HOUSE COMMITTEE

The fate of a bill aimed at amending the Texas utilities code to "encourage
the deployment of BPL" by electric utilities now rests with members of the
Texas House of Representatives Regulated Utilities Committee. The measure,
SB 1748, sailed through the Texas Senate following an April 21 hearing
announced on short notice. The bill's sponsor, Sen Troy Fraser, told the
Dallas Morning News April 29 after the measure cleared the Senate that
utility officials have assured Texas lawmakers that BPL won't interfere with
other services. North Texas ARRL Section Manager Tom Blackwell, N5GAR, says
he and a representative of the West Texas Section visited for about two
hours April 29 with senior staffers in the office of the Speaker of the
House. They also met with most members of the Regulated Industries
Committee, which could hold a hearing on the bill as early as May 10.

"We delivered petitions signed by amateurs to legislators in several other
House districts," Blackwell said. "We are putting our best foot forward with
facts about this bill." Blackwell says he's been promised "courteous
treatment" by the House committee, something he says was absent on the
Senate side, where he contends that radio amateurs' views were "summarily
ignored."

Radio amateurs huddled with lawmakers while the bill was still in the Senate
Business and Commerce Committee, which Fraser chairs. As a result, new
language was tacked onto the legislation. The additional language says, "BPL
operators are required to comply with all applicable federal laws, including
laws protecting licensed spectrum users from interference by BPL systems."

Blackwell maintains that radio amateurs are doing BPL interests a favor by
opposing the bill and "keeping them out of risky and uncertain investments
that are based on a technology that is apparently faulty, uncertain and
misrepresented."

SB 1748 would allow electric utilities to lease out their power lines to
other businesses to operate BPL systems or services. Fraser asserts that his
measure, introduced March 11, will be "great for Texas" and "especially
important to rural Texas, where high-speed Internet service is not readily
available." But he concedes that BPL "is still in the early stages of
development." BPL proponents rarely raise the notion of rural service these
days because it's uneconomical in sparsely populated areas.

An Irving, Texas, BPL pilot project that was the target of an ARRL complaint
shut down in March and removed its equipment. The ARRL's March 15 filing to
the FCC's Enforcement Bureau, its Office of Engineering and Technology,
system operator TXU and equipment manufacturer Amperion supported an Amateur
Radio complaint. The League has since withdrawn its complaint. TXU, which
has indicated it's still interested in BPL, did not indicate why it shut
down the system and removed its equipment.

The text of the bill is available via the Texas Legislature Web site
<http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/>. Blackwell has posted more information on
his "Comments on the New Texas BPL Bill" Web site <http://www.n5gar.info/>,
which includes contact information for lawmakers.

==>NEW AMATEUR RADIO SATELLITE IN ORBIT

HAMSAT is the latest Amateur Radio satellite in orbit. Launched this week,
it is India's first. Although it doesn't yet have an OSCAR designation,
several stations--including W1AW--already have completed contacts through
its SSB/CW transponder.

"We congratulate all who have worked for the HAMSAT and its successful
launch," said AMSAT-India Treasurer Sandip Shah, VU3SXE, who was among more
than a dozen radio amateurs at the control center in Bangalore, India, for
the May 5 launch. With several dignitaries--including India's president--on
hand to watch, the satellite went aloft from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre
(SDSC) SHAR in Sriharikota.

Going into space along with the 42.5 kg HAMSAT was the primary payload--the
1560 kg Indian remote sensing satellite, CARTOSAT-1, intended for mapping
applications. The spacecraft were placed into polar sun synchronous orbit at
an altitude of 632 x 621 km with an equatorial inclination of 97.8 degrees.

The microsat will provide two new linear mode U/V transponders for SSB and
CW use only. Only one transponder will be active at any given time. The
uplink passband is 435.225-435.275 MHz (LSB), and the downlink is
145.875-145.925 MHz (USB). An unmodulated carrier has been reported on
145.936 MHz, and a CW telemetry beacon on 145.860 MHz.

Dutch graduate student William Leijenaar, PE1RAH, who designed one of
HAMSAT's transponders, saw the PSLV-C6 vehicle carry the satellite skyward
from SDSC SHAR. "It was very interesting to see how my radio finally went
into space," he said afterward. "It is the best ham radio experience in my
life."

==>EXPEDITION 11'S KICK-OFF SCHOOL QSO PUTS AUSSIE YOUNGSTERS "OVER THE
MOON"

NASA International Space Station Science Officer John Phillips, KE5DRY,
deftly fielded questions via Amateur Radio from youngsters in Queensland,
Australia, May 4. The contact with Albany Hills State School near Brisbane
marked the first Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS)
school group QSO for Expedition 11 as well as the first from NA1SS for
Phillips, who was licensed only last February while training for the
mission. Phillips came back on the first call from NN1SS in Maryland, which
handled Earth-station duties. MCI donated a teleconferencing link between
the US and Australia. Responding to one question, Phillips said he has no
problems sleeping aboard the ISS--at least in terms of comfort. But one
unusual space occurrence does sometimes wake him up.

"We have an interesting phenomenon that happens where energetic atomic
particles can enter the back side of our eyes and cause bright flashes,"
Phillips explained. "And once in a while--maybe once per night or
less--those flashes will wake me up."

In greeting the students at the start of the contact, Phillips noted that
Expedition 11 Commander and seasoned space veteran Sergei Krikalev, U5MIR,
was nearby to help out if needed. Phillips and Krikalev relieved Astronaut
Leroy Chiao, KE5BRW, and Cosmonaut Salizhan Sharipov on the ISS in April.
They'll remain aboard the space station until October. By that time,
Krikalev--an avid radio amateur--will have logged more time in space than
any other human.

Like other ISS crew members, Phillips said he thoroughly enjoys gazing down
on Earth during his free time. He also said he's been exercising a little
more than an hour a day. One thing he misses, he told the Australian
youngsters, is really cold things like ice cream or cold drinks, because the
ISS lacks a refrigerator.

Phillips noted that while the ISS does get hit by micrometeorites, they
don't do any serious damage.

"These are really tiny pieces of dust or rock in space that are smaller than
a grain of sand," Phillips explained. "What they can do is cause minor
pitting or minor blemishes on the metal or the glass, but the space station
has never been hit by anything big enough to penetrate the hull or to cause
a leak, and, in fact, we're very well protected up here." He noted that the
ISS is equipped with shields on all sides.

Albany Hills has an enrollment of 950 students in years two through seven,
and astronomy is a part of the school's science curriculum. In all, the
Albany Hills pupils got answers to 15 questions before turning the
microphone over to teacher Cheryl Capra, who asked if Phillips had any
advice to pass along to her students. Unfortunately, the ISS went out of
range of the Earth station about the time the astronaut started to reply,
but that didn't deter the students and onlookers from closing out the event
with a hearty round of cheering and applause.

"Everyone here is all smiles and over the moon," said Mark Phillips,
VK4AW--no relation to the astronaut--who assisted at the school. He was
joined via the teleconference by veteran Australian ARISS mentor Tony
Hutchison, VK5ZAI. Handling Earth station duties at NN1SS was Dave Taylor,
W8AAS. Audio from the contact also was relayed around the world via IRLP and
EchoLink.

ARISS <http://www.rac.ca/ariss> is an international educational outreach
with US participation by ARRL, AMSAT and NASA.

==>CALIFORNIA EMERGENCY OFFICIALS SEE ADVANTAGES OF SSTV IN DRILL

Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) volunteers in California made
slow-scan TV part of the communication mix when they participated in a
voluntary wildfire evacuation drill April 30. The exercise involved
residents of nearly 400 homes in a high fire hazard area of Santa Barbara
County, and ARES' use of SSTV definitely caught the eye of emergency
officials.

"ARES provided us with the only continuous, real-time information on traffic
flow and conditions in the incident area," said Jay McAmis of the county's
Office of Emergency Services. "It was great!"

Santa Barbara South County ARES Emergency Coordinator Lou Dartanner, N6ZKJ,
says communicators with SSTV gear deployed at three locations along a
narrow, winding road out of the canyon and in two locations along the
evacuation route to a reception center some five miles away. Three
additional ARES members provided voice reports on traffic flow, while four
other team volunteers supported the field activity at the command post and
reception center.

Since the county's inaugural test of its new "reverse 911" system failed to
reach everyone, many residents were alerted instead by sheriff's units using
public address systems and by search-and-rescue team members going door to
door. "As a result, instead of the traffic jam with fender-benders and
finger-wagging, an orderly trickle of vehicles moved out of the area,"
Dartanner reports. "An SSTV station was set up at the reception center, and
a crowd of about three dozen jostled around the monitor all morning,
watching the near-continuous stream of pictures coming in from the field. A
second, portable system was set up in back of a car at the Command Post, and
the Incident Commander was able to see exactly what was--or was
not--occurring in the incident area."

More than 200 residents participated, as did personnel from 21 agencies and
organizations. "Local fire officials are excited about using SSTV capability
in the future," Dartanner says, "and ARES will continue to play an important
role in their activities."

==>RADIO AMATEURS, ARES GROUP AMONG NOAA'S 2005 "ENVIRONMENTAL HEROES"

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has recognized
four Amateur Radio operators and an Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES)
group among its list of 2005 Environmental Heroes. Given in conjunction with
Earth Day celebrations, Environmental Hero awards honor NOAA volunteers for
their tireless efforts to preserve and protect the nation's environment.

"NOAA and the nation are fortunate to have such dedicated people volunteer
so much of their time," said retired Navy Vice Admiral Conrad C.
Lautenbacher Jr, undersecretary of Commerce for oceans and atmosphere and
NOAA administrator. "They set a perfect example for others to follow in
their communities. America needs more environmental heroes like them."
Established in 1996, the Environmental Hero award is presented to
individuals and organizations that volunteer their time and energy to help
NOAA carry out its mission.

Among this year's honorees are ARRL member Charles T. Byars, W5GPO, and the
Wichita County Amateur Radio Emergency Service of Wichita Falls, Texas.
Byars is an ARES District Emergency Coordinator in the ARRL North Texas
Section. For more 30 years, he and Wichita County ARES members have
volunteered their time, expertise and resources to help the National Weather
Service (NWS) detect and track dangerous storms.

"Their tireless efforts, long hours and dedication to helping to protect the
citizens of Wichita Falls and the surrounding area have led to more accurate
and detailed weather information being disseminated, more timely warnings
and quite possibly lives being saved," NOAA said in recognizing Byars and
his ARES team.

Wichita County Emergency Coordinator Dave Gaines, N5DHG, says the City of
Wichita Falls will host an awards presentation on May 10.

Three Florida radio amateurs, all ARRL members, also were recognized for
their efforts as Amateur Radio net control operators for the NWS office in
Ruskin, Florida, during hurricanes Charley and Frances. NOAA says Paul Toth,
NA4AR, of Seminole, Robert M. Stanhope, W3RMS, of Valrico and Sean C.
Fleeman, N4SCF, of New Port Richey volunteered a total of 125 hours during
the two storms last year.

"They gave up time with their families to gather real-time reports during
the hurricanes to enhance NWS warnings and also provided up-to-the-minute
weather information for recovery operations in west central and southwest
Florida," NOAA said in commending the trio.

NOAA recognized 34 individuals and three organizations across the US as
Environmental Heroes. The complete list of 2005 award recipients is on the
NOAA Web site <http://www.noaa.gov/earthday/>.

==>ARMED FORCES DAY ON-AIR EVENT SET FOR MAY 14-15

The 2005 Armed Forces Day military/amateur crossband communications test
will take place May 14-15. The US Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and
Coast Guard are co-sponsoring the annual event in celebration of the 55th
anniversary of Armed Forces Day, which is Saturday, May 21. The Armed Forces
Day radio event is scheduled a week earlier to avoid conflicts with Dayton
Hamvention, May 20-22.

The annual Armed Forces Day on-the-air celebration features the traditional
military-to-amateur crossband communications SSB voice test and the
Secretary of Defense message-receiving test. QSL cards will be provided to
those making contact with the military stations.

Special commemorative certificates will be awarded to anyone who receives
and copies the digital Armed Forces Day message from the Secretary of
Defense.

Full details, including stations and frequencies, are on the ARRL Web site
<http://www.arrl.org/contests/announcements/af-day/AF-Day-2005-SKED.pdf>.

==>RON BROADBENT, G3AAJ, SK

Well-known Amateur Radio satellite personality Ron Broadbent, G3AAJ, died
April 24. He was 80. Broadbent became involved with amateur satellites in
the 1970s, and by 1978 he was serving as secretary of AMSAT-UK--a post he
held for 16 years. AMSAT-UK Chairman Martin Sweeting, G3JYO, says Broadbent
became known to many as "Mr AMSAT-UK," and he called Broadbent's energy and
robust character "a driving force" in AMSAT as well in as the Radio Society
of Great Britain (RSGB) and the International Amateur Radio Union.

"Ron believed passionately in the principles of Amateur Radio as a hobby,"
Sweeting commented, "and his commitment and effort given willingly over many
years and supported by his wife, Beryl, were greatly appreciated by amateurs
worldwide."

Broadbent was a 61-year veteran member of the RSGB, which he joined as a
teenager. In 1994, he was named as an Honorary Vice-President of the RSGB.
He was named a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 1995 for
his services to Amateur Radio.

"Not one to suffer fools gladly," Sweeting said, "Ron's sometimes gruff
exterior hid a deeply generous personality and one who was always ready to
roll up his sleeves and get to work rather than just talk."

ARRL Field and Educational Services Manager Rosalie White, K1STO, notes that
Broadbent was the first Amateur Radio on the International Space Station
(ARISS) supporter from Great Britain. In 1996, he traveled to Johnson Space
Center at the request of ARRL and AMSAT and voted in favor of the historic
agreement that established the fledgling ARISS international team.

Until retiring in 1985, Broadbent worked for Trinity House--the general
lighthouse authority for England, Wales, the Channel Islands and
Gibraltar--attending to the UK's lighthouses and lightships. Following
retirement, he went to work "12 hours a day, seven days a week and virtually
for free for the amateur satellite movement," the RSGB reports. For more
than a decade, Broadbent organized the AMSAT-UK Colloquium.

Concluded Sweeting, "We have lost one of amateur radio's real characters and
a gentleman."

* AO-51 to be configured in Mode V/S for Field Day: For Field Day 2005, the
AMSAT "Echo" (AO-51) satellite will be configured as an FM repeater in Mode
V/S. The uplink will be 145.920 MHz with the 67 Hz tone enabled. The
downlink will be 2401.200 MHz. To give users the opportunity to test their
Field Day stations, AO-51 will be configured in Mode V/S during two periods
leading up to Field Day. From May 19 until May 24 the satellite will be in
Mode V/S in support of satellite demonstrations at Dayton Hamvention. From
June 18 until June 26 (ie, the weekend and entire week before Field Day)
AO-51 also will be in Mode V/S. These operating sessions will give Field Day
participants an opportunity to check out their Field Day satellite stations
ahead of time. The AO-51 team says working the Mode S downlink on AO-51 does
not require expensive equipment nor even a satellite dish. Some operators
have successfully copied the AO-51 S band downlink with minimal antennas,
such as patch antennas, dipoles with corner reflectors or a simple 3.5-turn
helix. If your down converter's IF is on VHF (which most are), a handheld
transceiver or mobile FM rig will work fine as a downlink receiver. The
uplink antenna can be any good omnidirectional mobile system. If you have
not worked the S band downlink on AO-51 previously, a few passes monitoring
the downlink and practicing Doppler correction will be very helpful. The
Doppler shift on an AO-51 pass is approximately ?50 kHz. There's more
information available on setting up to use Echo on Field Day on the Web site
of AMSAT Vice President for Operations Mike Kingery, KE4AZN.

500 AM CDT SUN MAY 8 2005

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR A LARGE PART OF ARKANSAS.

DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT 

THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE THAT HAS BEEN IN CONTROL OF OUR WEATHER FOR
THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS...CONTINUES TO BE PUSHED TO THE EAST BY AN 
UPPER LEVEL TROF MOVING INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. SOUTHERLY WINDS 
WILL CONTINUE TO BRING INCREASING AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE INTO THE 
NATURAL STATE. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE IN THE BASE OF THIS TROUGH 
IS CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO. THE DISTURBANCE WILL 
GAIN STRENGTH AS IT LIFTS TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST AND INTO A MORE 
FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT AND WILL BE LOCATED NEAR THE ARKLATEX BY 
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. IT WILL BE CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHEAST THROUGH THE 
REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT.

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP BY NOON OVER THE 
WESTERN PART OF THE AREA WITH THE PRECIP SPREADING SLOWLY EASTWARD 
THROUGH THE DAY. AS THE SYSTEM APPROACHES...THE RAIN IS EXPECTED TO 
BECOME HEAVIER AND MORE WIDE SPREAD THROUGH THE NIGHT. HEAVY RAIN 
REMAINS A POSSIBILITY WITH THIS SYSTEM ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL AND 
NORTHERN ARKANSAS...MAINLY ALONG AND NORTH OF A CAMDEN TO SHERIDAN 
TO AUGUSTA LINE. AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF ONE TO TWO INCHES ARE 
POSSIBLE. WITH THE RECENT DRY CONDITIONS...FLOODING IS NOT A MAJOR 
CONCERN BUT PONDING OF WATER ON AREA ROADWAYS AND IN LOW AREAS IS 
POSSIBLE. 

WHILE A FEW STRONG OR SEVERE STORMS CANNOT BE RULED OUT...IT APPEARS 
THE CHANCES OF WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER WILL REMAIN LOW. HAIL WOULD 
BE THE PRIMARY CONCERN IN ANY SEVERE STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP.

DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...POSSIBLY WITH HEAVY RAIN... WILL BE 
ONGOING AT THE START OF THE PERIOD. THE DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE OVER 
NORTH CENTRAL ARKANSAS AROUND NOON AND THEN MOVE OUT OF THE STATE BY 
EARLY AFTERNOON. THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE ENDING FROM SOUTHWEST TO 
NORTHEAST DURING THE MORNING AND BE JUST ABOUT OVER BY EARLY IN THE 
AFTERNOON. ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE EARLY IN THE 
DAY. STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE BUT MORE 
ISOLATED IN NATURE.

ISOLATED SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE ON TUESDAY AS THE REMNANTS OF THE 
STORM AND ITS UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT PULL OUT. THE REMAINDER OF THE 
WEEK LOOKS DRY UNTIL LATE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WHEN ANOTHER STORM 
WILL BEGIN TO APPROACH THE MID SOUTH.

SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME.

	Is there a fee: No But one must file an annual report, and that is usually me since I still am the person of record. I have not done that 	since I do not have access to the accounting records. It wouldn't be that difficult to file past years records though. I could have my 	accountant to help me. 

	Yes there needs to be an up-to-date person to contact for the IRS to get hold of.

	EGW: There doesn't seem to be a requirement for a PO Box, just a good point of contact.  I suggest that we ask Mike to help with getting us current.

New Business

	Working with OEM on getting packet node set up. Main driver is WinLink. It will likely be on the OEM tower initially as access to other tower space it very limited right now.

 <http://www.arrl.org/news/images/In-Brief-th.jpg> 

Ham radio regulatory changes reported overseas (May 9, 2005) -- Sweden's telecommunication regulatory agency PTS <http://www.pts.se/>  has taken steps to deregulate Amateur Radio and essentially no longer requires a government license. Effective last fall, the PTS turned over Amateur Radio operator "certification" to the Society of Swedish Radio Amateurs (SSA <http://www.ssa.se/> ), that country's IARU member-society. Under the new regulatory regime, the SSA administers testing and issues operator certificates and call signs, which have SA prefixes and three-letter suffixes. There's no longer a Morse code requirement for HF access. The PTS still handles relevant international agreements, such as band allocations, in conjunction with the ITU. Sweden no longer dictates mode-specific subbands within amateur bands, but band plans are in place. Kenya's telecommunications regulator, the CCK, recently issued a new schedule of Amateur Radio frequencies, modes and power limits. Ted A!
 lleyne, 5Z4NU, of the Amateur Radio Society of Kenya reports that radio amateurs there now may use 30 meters (10.100 to 10.150 MHz) and 160 meters (1.810 to 1.850 MHz). The National Telecommunications Commission of Thailand has granted permission through 2005 for all Thai radio amateurs to use 80 and 160 meters during contest periods. HS- and E2- stations may use 1.800-1.825 MHz and 3.500-3.540 MHz, CW or SSB, during contest weekends. Starting May 1 in the Czech Republic, new regulations provide access to 7.100 to 7.200 MHz for Amateur Radio on a secondary basis. Power output is limited to 250 W PEP. The Czech Republic also has begun issuing Novice class licenses with OK9-prefix call signs and three-letter suffixes. Operation is permitted on 160, 80, 15 and 10 meters on HF, and up to 2 meters on VHF, at a maximum power output of 10 W. The Malta Communication Authority has automatically extended HF privileges to "codeless" Class B licensees. Licensees in Malta still must pas!
 s a Morse code examination to operate CW on the HF bands, however.--Th

It is great sadness that I announce that Jerry Deadman, W5KKO, became a
silent key this past tuesday 10 May 2005.  He was an active member of our
club and will be missed.  Jerry was 77. 

In addition to his involvement with our club, I know he was an active MARS

All -

We need to ask for help with Net Control responsibilities.  We try to have
assigned Net Control operators but sometimes things come up and the
scheduled person can't be available.  Sometime even the backup isn't
available.

With only two or three NCS for the PBARC net, I'm asking for volunteers to
be scheduled as net control operators for both the PBARC net on Tuesday
night and the ARES net on Monday night.  Please contact John, Bernard, or
Glenn so that we can add you to our list of net control operators.

These nets are relatively informal.  The most structured one is the ARES net
on Monday night and we have a preamble that can be used to help you.  The
PBARC net is informal and can be handled pretty much how ever you wish to
run it.  Do not let the procedure scare you away.

We need everyone's help in keeping our nets alive.  If you are listening at
net time and haven't heard a net control check in, PLEASE help us out by
picking up the N/C responsibilities. We need your help.

I thought some would find this interesting.

Tomorrow, Friday May 13th, the Tonight Show with Jay Leno will feature
a message sending/receiving contest between a cell phone text
messaging team and a Morse code team.

The Morse code team will consist of Chip Margelli K7JA and Ken Miller
K6CTW.

 Chip and Ken do a lot of contests and DXpeditions.  Joe Drago, props
 manager for the show is KF6OCP.

 This should result in some excellent PR for ham radio.

==>ARRAY OF "ARRL STAGE" PRESENTATIONS AMONG ARRL EXPO 2005 HIGHLIGHTS

Rocks, diamonds and the Swiss Army knife are among topics visitors to ARRL
EXPO 2005 can learn more about--at least in a manner of speaking. As part of
the ARRL 2005 National Convention at Dayton Hamvention Friday through
Sunday, May 20-22, an array of speakers will offer bite-sized live
presentations on the "ARRL Stage." ARRL EXPO 2005 will be in the Ballarena
Exhibit Hall in the Hara Arena complex near Dayton, Ohio. Counting down the
days, ARRL Marketing Manager Bob Inderbitzen, NQ1R, says ARRL EXPO 2005 and
the other National Convention activities will make this year's Hamvention
the best ever.

"You wouldn't think it possible to squeeze more fun and activities into
Dayton Hamvention, but we're going to do it," Inderbitzen said this week.
"It's like having two great shows in one!"

The theme of Dayton Hamvention 2005 is "Bringing hams together from around
the world." Upward of 25,000 visitors from the US and elsewhere on the globe
make the annual pilgrimage to Ohio for the occasion.

For the 2005 ARRL Convention, the League is pulling out all the stops and
virtually moving Headquarters to Dayton. Representatives of every department
and activity will be on hand and available to visitors throughout the event.
Plans are in the works to have W1AW/8 available for guest operators.

The ARRL Stage will spotlight 15-minute presentations every half hour
throughout the convention. Rocks? ARRL Sales and Marketing Manger Dennis
Motschenbacher, K7BV, will explain "The Most Fun You Can Have with a
Rock"--an introduction to meteor-scatter operation. Diamonds? ARRL Chief
Development Officer Mary Hobart, K1MMH, will talk up the advantages of
joining the ARRL Diamond Club. And ARRL Media and Public Relations Manager
Allen Pitts, W1AGP, will describe "The Secret Life of the Swiss Army
Knife"--everything the well-informed public information officer needs to
know.

There's virtually a topic for every interest imaginable within the broad
spectrum of Amateur Radio pursuits including 6-meter DXing, emergency
communication, an introduction to HF radio for newcomers and "Your Manual to
Building a Radioactive Youth," by 16-year-old ARRL Contributing Editor
Andrea Hartlage, KG4IUM. Of course visitors can expect presentations on
other hot-button topics like BPL and RFI as well as ham radio in the
classroom, how to pick a radio that fits your operating style and how ARRL
evaluates new equipment for QST "Product Review." All sessions will provide
an opportunity for listeners to ask questions and offer comments.

In a "first" for an ARRL National Convention, ARRL EXPO 2005 will provide an
Internet Caf? and WiFi "hot spot!" The area will be equipped with an
802.11b/g-compliant wireless LAN, providing wireless Internet access within
the vicinity of ARRL EXPO 2005. For those who left their PCs home, computers
will be available for users to check e-mail or just surf the Web.

The first 5000 visitors to ARRL EXPO 2005 can pick up an ARRL Passport--a
ticket to the ultimate convention scavenger hunt. Collect Passport codes to
qualify for terrific prizes donated by Icom, Kenwood, AOR USA and Alinco. No
purchase is necessary.

Visitors dropping by ARRL EXPO 2005 can have their photos taken then
digitally superimposed on a cover of QST. For a modest fee, you'll walk away
with a souvenir to wow your friends or at least hang on the wall of your
shack.

Free for the asking is the ARRL National Convention souvenir pin. A lot of
Hamvention visitors collect these each year, and supplies are limited.

At its usual Dayton Hamvention location in Hara Arena's North Hall, the
League will offer "ARRL Relaxation Station." ARRL is making available tables
and chairs for attendees to simply relax and visit. The North Hall
concession will concentrate on retail product sales as well as ARRL
membership signups and renewals.

A slate of full-blown ARRL-sponsored forums and activities will be a part of
the League's 2005 National Convention. You'll also find ARRL staff members
and volunteers at many other Hamvention forums. A complete slate of
convention forums is available on the Dayton Hamvention Web site
<http://www.hamvention.org>. An ARRL Wouff Hong ceremony is set for
Saturday, May 21, 10:30 PM, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in downtown Dayton.

ARRL CEO David Sumner, K1ZZ, says he's looking forward to the 2005 National
Convention. "I've been going to our national conventions for 36 years now,
and this is going to be the best of the bunch," he predicted.

Check the ARRL National Convention at Dayton Hamvention Web page
<http://www.arrl.org/announce/nc/2005/> for information updates. The ARRL
National Convention Guide is available on the ARRL Web site
<http://www.arrl.org/announce/nc/2005/ARRL-National-Convention-Guide.pdf>.

==>UK REGULATOR'S STUDY POINTS UP LIMITATIONS OF AMPERION-EQUIPPED BPL TRIAL

Ofcom, the UK's telecommunications regulatory agency, has concluded that
Amperion BPL equipment deployed in a field trial in Scotland "as tested is
not and cannot be FCC Part 15 compliant above 30 MHz." Ofcom this week
released a study, "Amperion PLT Measurements in Crieff," which summarizes
measurements it took at the site. PLT is another term for BPL. Ofcom's
investigation also demonstrated the limitations of Amperion's "notching"
capabilities to mitigate interference to radio reception. ARRL CEO David
Sumner, K1ZZ, says Ofcom's study reflects what the League and others have
known all along about BPL.

"Ofcom's measurements and conclusions are consistent with ours and with what
we have been saying all along about BPL in general and Amperion in
particular," Sumner said. "It's a shame that we have to look overseas to
find a regulator who will say what truly needs to be said: Medium voltage
power lines are no place for HF broadband data."

Measurements were made at the pilot system in Crieff, which uses 11 kV
overhead power lines and Amperion Griffin PLT equipment made in the US and
employing OFDM signal architecture. The Ofcom study says that at HF,
radiated leakage emissions from the Amperion-based BPL network operating at
its maximum power setting exceeded FCC Part 15 limits by up to 8 dB.

The UK has no defined PLT emission limits, and Ofcom used the FCC's as a
reference point. The Ofcom investigation also concluded that if Europe
adopts Reg TP NB30 radiated emission limits now in effect in Germany, "such
adoption would rule out any European deployment" of the Amperion Griffin BPL
equipment on which it took measurements in Scotland.

Above 30 MHz, Ofcom said, radiated leakage exceeded FCC Part 15 limits by up
to 27 dB. "In practice, the launch power would need to be reduced by 27 dB
to ensure compliance with the FCC limit, and this raises two issues," Ofcom
said. "The first is that such a reduction is beyond the 24 dB power control
range of the product and secondly it seems certain that the network would
fail to provide any functionality at such a reduced power level."

The notching facility of the equipment as an interference mitigation
technique "is compromised," Ofcom concluded, "because notches cannot be
placed in the 'upstream' spectrum, and because FCC Part 15 limits are too
relaxed to permit the notched spectrum to afford any significant protection
to weak signal reception."

A 20 dB notch "is not an effective interference mitigation measure for weak
signal reception that is limited only by the local spectrum noise floor,"
Ofcom said in its report. It concluded that at that level of notching, "Part
15 compliant leakage emissions from a notched PLT line would contribute
noise to the HF spectrum at distances as far as 1 km [approximately 0.62
mile] from the line."

Beyond that, Ofcom said, Amperion encountered difficulties when requested to
implement a 30 dB notch from 21 to 22 MHz to cover both the amateur 15-meter
band and the adjacent HF broadcast band. "They reported problems with this,
due to the bandwidth required," the report noted. Graphs indicate that the
notching "uncovered" several broadcast signals, most with field strengths in
excess of the ITU-recommended minimum protected value.

In its report, Ofcom noted that power lines were not designed, shielded or
balanced for high-frequency use and can radiate significant leakage even
when buried below ground. "PLT leakage emissions occupy parts of the high
frequency radio spectrum above 2 MHz and have the potential to interfere
with the reception of radio communication services, including shortwave
broadcasts," the agency said.

While the BPL/PLT interference issue has "proved to be contentious" and
continues to be a discussion topic in Europe and elsewhere, Ofcom said, it
also appears that "none of the proposed emission limits can currently
satisfy the dual objective of protecting radio reception whilst, at the same
time, allowing PLT to operate in a commercially viable manner."

The Ofcom study involved a BPL field trial by Scottish and Southern Energy
plc (SSE). The agency says it believes its measurements were "sufficient to
indicate the general situation" at the Crieff site. A copy of the Ofcom
report is on the ARRL Web site
<http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/HTML/plc/files/amperion.pdf>.

According to the Radio Society of Great Britain, an SSE representative
indicated recently that the company would not be undertaking any further PLT
rollout in the UK and was unlikely to invest further in the technology.
Reasons given were the lack of progress on PLT technical standards and the
commercial position of PLT with respect to other broadband services. The
RSGB said it welcomed the announcement.

==>HAMSAT IS NOW VO-52

The latest Amateur Radio satellite now has an OSCAR designation. Acting at
the request of AMSAT-India's Nagesh Upadhayaya, VU2NUD, AMSAT-NA's Bill
Tynan, W3XO, has announced that HAMSAT (or VUsat) is VUsat-52 or VO-52 for
short.

"Congratulation on the successful launch of HAMSAT," Tynan told VU2NUD. "I
know that you and a number of VU amateurs have worked hard to make this
happen. I am sure that the international amateur community is grateful to
all the amateurs in India who labored on this project."

VO-52 is India's first Amateur Radio satellite. Its transponders were turned
on shortly after its May 5 launch, and AMSAT-India Secretary "Pop" Kumar,
VU2POP, has invited the global amateur community to use the satellite and
e-mail any comments <reports@amsat.in>. Ground controllers have activated
one of the two linear transponders aboard VO-52, which operates in Mode U/V,
with passband center frequencies of 435.25 MHz for the uplink and 145.90 MHz
for the downlink. Passbands are 50 kHz wide. For SSB, uplink in LSB and
downlink in USB.

AMSAT-India says VO-52 has been monitored by radio amateurs around the
world, and it has already received a few reports from users and listeners
<http://www.amsat.in/hamsatreports.htm>.

AMSAT Contests and Awards Director Bruce Paige, KK5DO, says the new
satellite has generated a lot of excitement in the amateur community. "QSOs
are made in sideband or CW," he said. "Even though the satellite is capable
of FM operation, it is much more useful in sideband mode as multiple QSOs
can be completed at the same time, as everyone slides up or down in the
passband." Paige reminds users to correct for Doppler shift.

Conferring an OSCAR designation is not a requirement for an Amateur Radio
satellite to be recognized and used in the Amateur Service, but it is a
tradition that has continued since the launch of OSCAR 1 in December of
1961.

There's more information on HAMSAT VO-52 on the AMSAT-India Web site

==>LEAGUE SAYS AMPERION MISREPRESENTING FACTS IN TEXAS BPL INTERFERENCE CASE

The ARRL has taken issue with BPL manufacturer Amperion's version of events,
posted on its Web site <http://www.amperion.com/market.asp?id=70> (scroll to
"TXU Trial Deployment"), surrounding a Texas BPL interference complaint last
fall. Amperion claims that an interference complaint from radio amateurs at
a BPL trial operated by utility TXU in Irving, was based "on measurements
taken last year but not brought to the attention of TXU or Amperion until
March 2005." According to Amperion, that was five months after TXU had
completed its trial and decommissioned the system. ARRL CEO David Sumner,
K1ZZ, says the facts stand in stark contrast to Amperion's version of
events.

"Amperion's claims that the Irving BPL system was decommissioned in October
2004 and that neither TXU nor Amperion was aware of the interference until
March 2005 are blatant misrepresentations," Sumner said.

Setting the record straight, Sumner points out that former North Texas
Section BPL Task Force Chair Jory McIntosh, KJ5RM, who regularly commutes
through the BPL test zone in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, first logged
interference from the TXU BPL system on July 24, 2004. McIntosh said at the
time that at a distance of 300 feet from the power line, the interference
obliterated normal Amateur Radio signals in the 40, 20, 17, 15, 10 and
6-meter bands.

TXU responded and company personnel accompanied McIntosh to the site the
same day. "They observed that the system was producing considerable
interference across much of the radio spectrum below 50 MHz," Sumner
recounted. Despite system adjustments, the interference remained. McIntosh
logged interference from the BPL installation on 11 separate days from
August through October, when ARRL Laboratory Manager Ed Hare, W1RFI, visited
the site and measured interference levels on several frequencies.

Sumner notes that McIntosh filed his formal written complaint with the FCC
on November 15, 2004, noting his July 24 visit with TXU representatives.
"The complaint was acknowledged, but the only action the FCC took was to
refer him back to the system operator," he said.

"It was only after no action resulted from this complaint that the ARRL
filed its complaint on March 15, 2005, that included a test report from Mr.
Hare," Sumner continued. He emphasized that before filing the complaint the
League verified--on March 9--that the interference "was still present to the
same extent as previously reported."

Sumner says TXU actually shut down its BPL system and removed the equipment
on March 29, 2005, not October 2004, and that the utility advised McIntosh
of the shutdown the following day. The ARRL withdrew its now-moot complaint
the same day, after McIntosh personally verified that the equipment had been
removed.

In a writeup on its Web site, Amperion asserted that TXU decided to
decommission the network after it "had already completed its technical trial
in October 2004" following seven months of operation. "The decision had
nothing to do with the interference complaints that were filed," Amperion
stated.

A bill now before the Texas legislature--SB 1748--would amend the Utilities
Code to "encourage the deployment of BPL" by electric utilities.

To date, four BPL trial sites using Amperion BPL equipment have shut down in
the wake of complaints from Amateur Radio operators.

==>HAM RADIO REGULATORY CHANGES REPORTED ABROAD

Sweden's telecommunication regulatory agency PTS has taken steps to
deregulate Amateur Radio and essentially no longer requires a government
license. Effective last fall, the PTS turned over Amateur Radio operator
"certification" to the Society of Swedish Radio Amateurs (SSA), that
country's IARU member-society. Under the new regulatory regime, the SSA
administers testing and issues operator certificates and call signs, which
have SA prefixes and three-letter suffixes. There's no longer a Morse code
requirement for HF access.

The PTS still handles relevant international agreements, such as band
allocations, in conjunction with the ITU. Sweden no longer dictates
mode-specific subbands within amateur bands, but band plans are in place.
The new call signs can be issued by both the SSA and the PTS, but the SSA
option reportedly is less expensive. All previously issued Swedish call
signs are valid for life. Foreign visitors from countries outside the CEPT
agreement must still apply to the PTS for temporary operating authority in
Sweden.

Kenya's telecommunications regulator, the CCK, recently issued a new
schedule of Amateur Radio frequencies, modes and power limits. Ted Alleyne,
5Z4NU, of the Amateur Radio Society of Kenya reports that radio amateurs
there now may use 30 meters (10.100 to 10.150 MHz) and 160 meters (1.810 to
1.850 MHz).

The National Telecommunications Commission of Thailand has granted
permission through 2005 for all Thai radio amateurs to use 80 and 160 meters
during contest periods. HS- and E2- stations may use 1.800-1.825 MHz and
3.500-3.540 MHz, CW or SSB, during contest weekends.

Starting May 1 in the Czech Republic, new regulations provide access to
7.100 to 7.200 MHz for Amateur Radio on a secondary basis. Power output is
limited to 250 W PEP. The Czech Republic also has begun issuing Novice class
licenses with OK9-prefix call signs and three-letter suffixes. Operation is
permitted on 160, 80, 15 and 10 meters on HF, and up to 2 meters on VHF, at
a maximum power output of 10 W.

The Malta Communication Authority has automatically extended HF privileges
to "codeless" Class B licensees. Licensees in Malta still must pass a Morse
code examination to operate CW on the HF bands, however.--The Daily DX

==>ARRL FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES 2005 GOLDFARB SCHOLARSHIP WINNER

An 18-year-old high school student from New York is the winner of the
William R. Goldfarb Memorial Scholarship for 2005. The ARRL Foundation
announced the selection Tim O'Donnell, AB2LE, a student at
Cobleskill-Richmondville High School on April 29.

"Tim was the top student in a pool of extremely well qualified applicants
this year," said ARRL Foundation President Tom Frenaye, K1KI. "He's going to
do well in any field of study he chooses!"

ARRL Foundation's Scholarship Committee Chairman Tom Comstock, N5TC, echoed
Frenaye's comments. "After individually examining several dozen
applications, each member of the scholarship committee had Tim as their
first choice to receive this prestigious award," Comstock said. "He is one
of the 'brightest and best' in our nation."

First licensed at age 12, O'Donnell holds an Amateur Extra class license. He
is an ARRL member and active on 20 meter SSB--using a backyard dipole he
built with his father, John, KC2HHC--as well as on 2 meters.

O'Donnell's strong academic resume includes a number-one class ranking and
numerous honors such as National Merit Scholarship semifinalist, Coca-Cola
Scholars Program semifinalist, University of Rochester Bausch & Lomb Science
Award, the Cobleskill Masonic Chemistry Award, Regents Scholar, Scholet
Sequential Math Prize, Konta Memorial Award in Biology and the WRGB-TV
Capital Kid award for volunteerism.

His community activities involvement in the Chamber of Commerce, ACCORD (A
Community Committee on Respect and Diversity), and St Vincent de Paul
Church. O'Donnell plans to attend Brown University in the fall, majoring in
computer science with an eye on a future as an entrepreneur, researcher and
systems architect/developer.

Comstock noted that involvement in extracurricular activities, including
public service and Amateur Radio is an important criterion, and demonstrated
leadership skills are crucial.

The William R. Goldfarb Memorial Scholarship is intended to assist a
qualified student to obtain a bachelor's degree at an accredited school in
one of the following courses of study: business-related computers, medical
or nursing fields, engineering or sciences. The four-year award to an active
radio amateur is based on outstanding qualifications, need and other funding
sources.

The Goldfarb Scholarship is the result of a generous endowment from the late
William Goldfarb, N2ITP. Before his death in 1997, Goldfarb set up a
scholarship endowment of close to $1 million in memory of his parents,
Albert and Dorothy Goldfarb.

More information on the Goldfarb Scholarship is available on the ARRL Web
site <http://www.arrl.org/arrlf/goldfarb.html>. Applications for the
Goldfarb Scholarship and other ARRL Foundation Scholarship applications are
accepted each year from October 1 until February 1 for the upcoming academic
year.

==>SOLAR UPDATE

Sunspot seeker Tad "Might As Well Be Walkin' on the Sun" Cook, K7RA,
Seattle, Washington, reports: Suddenly the sun is peppered with spots!
Average daily sunspot numbers this week rose nearly 22 points to 82.7, and
the average daily solar flux was up 10 points to 110.7. On Wednesday, May
11, the solar flux reached 125.3, and on May 11 the daily sunspot number was
117.

On Sunday, May 8, a big blast of solar wind sparked a geomagnetic storm, and
the planetary A index went all the way to 64, This provoked some nice aurora
displays over the weekend. Then sunspot 758 began to expand rapidly, and the
sunspot count for Monday through Wednesday, May 9-11, was 106, 106 and 117.

At 1040 UTC on May 11 a coronal mass ejection emerged from sunspot 758.
There is a good chance of aurora for Friday, May 13 as a result. The
predicted planetary A index for Friday through Monday, May 13-16 is 25, 10,
15 and 10. Predicted solar flux for those days is 120, 115, 110 and 105.

Sunspot numbers for May 5 through 11 were 50, 66, 55, 79, 106, 106 and 117,
with a mean of 82.7. The 10.7 cm flux was 109.1, 110.4, 99.9, 101.3, 110,
119.2 and 125.3, with a mean of 110.7. Estimated planetary A indices were 6,
4, 10, 64, 11, 10 and 11, with a mean of 16.6. Estimated mid-latitude A
indices were 3, 3, 10, 38, 10, 6 and 7, with a mean of 11.

* FCC chairman appoints new Enforcement Bureau chief: FCC Chairman Kevin J.
Martin has announced his intention to appoint Kris Anne Monteith to head the
Commission's Enforcement Bureau. She'll replace David H. Solomon, who has
been Enforcement Bureau chief since the Commission created the bureau in
1999. Solomon will leave the FCC in May for a position with a private-sector
law firm. Monteith, who's been with the FCC since 1997, most recently served
as deputy bureau chief for outreach and intergovernmental affairs in the
Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau. In that capacity, Monteith--an
attorney--oversaw the Commission's interaction with local, state, and tribal
governments and other federal agencies. She also was responsible for
consumer outreach to inform and educate the public about FCC rules,
policies, programs and plans. Monteith previously served as chief of the
Policy Division within the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and held other
positions in the Common Carrier Bureau. The appointment was among several
Martin announced April 29.

* AMSAT-NA dues to increase: The AMSAT Board of Directors has voted to
increase AMSAT membership dues from $39 to $44, effective June 1. The
12-percent increase follows a $3 dues hike that took effect January 1, 2004.
AMSAT Life Membership will rise to $880 (20 times annual membership). Family
membership will continue to be one-half the cost of regular membership or
$22 per family member (family membership requires that a regular or life
member reside in the same household). Members or prospective members can
join or renew before June 1 at current rates. AMSAT will be accepting
membership applications and renewals at current rates during Dayton
Hamvention May 20-22. Details on the membership increase, an overview of the
rationale behind the board's decision and its potential impact are the
subject of an article in the March/April 2005 issue of AMSAT Journal. For
more information on AMSAT-NA, visit the AMSAT Web site

==>ARRL SIGNING MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH CIVIL AIR PATROL

The Civil Air Patrol (CAP) and ARRL will sign a Memorandum of Agreement
during Dayton HamventionR, May 20-22, where CAP plans to field a major
presence. The agreement will spell out guidelines for CAP--the US Air Force
Auxiliary, and ARRL--the national association for Amateur Radio, to better
use and integrate their resources during communication exercises and
emergencies.

"Civil Air Patrol has one of the largest unified communications networks in
the nation," said CAP Lt Col Maurice Thomas, N3ADV. "Federal, state and
local agencies call on CAP members every day for communication support in
search-and-rescue missions and disaster relief." Thomas says CAP, which has
been in existence for more than 60 years, needs "implementers" for its
communication technology, and highly skilled ham radio operators are "a
natural resource."

Dayton Hamvention will play host to ARRL's 2005 National Convention,
featuring ARRL EXPO 2005 in Hara Arena's Ballarena. The League also will
maintain a retail booth and relaxation area at its traditional North Hall
location.

CAP National Commander Maj Gen Dwight Wheless, will join ARRL President Jim
Haynie, W5JBP, at Hamvention to sign the formal agreement. The ceremony will
take place Friday, May 20, during the "ARRL Goes to Washington for You"
forum at 10:15 AM in Room 2 of Hara Arena. Wheless called radio amateurs
"highly skilled and knowledgeable about the latest in communications
technology."

ARRL Media and Public Relations Manager Allen Pitts, W1AGP, points out that
volunteerism is an Amateur Radio tradition. "We look forward to educating
our members about CAP, and CAP members about ARRL," he said. "From Morse
code to high-speed digital, a wire up in a tree to satellite communications,
hams love to make it happen."

Pitts says the ham radio slogan "When all else fails . . ." is more than
mere words. "They know ham radio communication works again and again when
other systems fail," he said. "One way or another, hams get the message
through."

Radio communication plays a major role in all of CAP's operations
too--including homeland security, damage assessment, search and rescue, and
disaster relief. It was key in CAP's impact assessment missions during last
year's hurricanes in Florida, ice storms in Arkansas and New York, and
floods in Missouri. 

Pitts notes that during the course of many emergency response situations,
Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES), Radio Amateur Civil Emergency
Service (RACES), and other Amateur Radio emergency groups find themselves
working side by side with CAP members. 

"This formal agreement between our two organizations will acknowledge that
in a disaster, we all work for the common good," he said.

During Hamvention, CAP members hope to educate radio amateurs about the
opportunities available to civilian volunteers through Civil Air Patrol. CAP
will occupy Booth 154-155 in the Ballarena. CAP's Wisconsin Wing will
display its new 35-foot state-of-the-art Mobile Command Center. The unit was
custom-built for CAP by Winnebago Corporation thanks to a US Department of
Homeland Security grant.

National Headquarters Chief of Communications Malcolm Kyser, KG4G, says CAP
maintains a dedicated nationwide HF and VHF network on federal government
frequencies. "We operate over 550 VHF repeaters spread across the country as
well as HF, tactical VHF/UHF, data and commercial satellite applications,"
he explains. "The CAP network is a 24/7 emergency services resource, which
we rely upon to support an almost unlimited variety of missions."

A nonprofit organization with some 60,000 members, the Civil Air Patrol
performs the vast majority of continental US inland search-and-rescue
missions under the direction of the US Air Force Rescue Coordination Center.
CAP volunteers also perform homeland security, disaster relief and anti-drug
trafficking missions at the request of federal, state and local agencies.
CAP will hold its national conference August 17-20 in St Louis. Visit CAP on
the Web <http://www.cap.gov/>.

==>CW OPS WHIP WHIPPERSNAPPER TEXT MESSENGERS ON NATIONAL TV

It may have been Friday the Thirteenth, but it was a lucky day for Morse
code--and particularly for veteran CW contest ops Chip Margelli, K7JA, and
Ken Miller, K6CTW. During a May 13 appearance on NBC's The Tonight Show with
Jay Leno, the pair was able to pass a message using good old fashioned Morse
code more rapidly than a pair of teenaged text messengers equipped with
modern cell phones. The victory, which replicated a similar challenge that
took place recently in Australia, has provided immense encouragement to
Amateur Radio's community of CW operators, who been ballyhooed the
achievement all over the Internet. The text messaging team consisted of
world text-messaging champ Ben Cook of Utah and his friend Jason. Miller
said afterward in a reflector posting that the CW team won fairly handily.

"Ben was just getting ready to start entering the last two words when I was
done," he said on the Elecraft reflector in response to various questions
he's received following the TV appearance. "I already knew that 28-30 WPM
would easily keep us in front of even the current world [text messaging]
record holder, and also it is the fastest speed that I can make nice
readable copy on paper with a 'stick' [pencil]." Miller said it was decided
he'd be on the receiving end because he wasn't distracted by the noise in
the studio.

Margelli recalls that he was sending at 29 WPM. "I believe the goods were
suitably delivered," he told ARRL. "CW and old guys rule!"

What the viewing public didn't know was that Margelli and Miller had, in
Miller's words, "smoked 'em every time" during three pre-program rehearsals.
Even so, during the real thing, when Miller raised his hand to signal he'd
copied the CW message successfully, Jason's jaw dropped. None of the players
had any idea of the text they'd be sending, Miller noted. The message? "I
just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance."

As with many Tonight Show bits, this one involved a member of the audience,
a young woman named Jennifer who predicted--incorrectly as it turned
out--that text messaging definitely would top 170-year-old Morse code. She
walked away with a gift of restaurant tickets anyway.

Margelli says the CW team used Yaesu FT-817 transceivers--one of his own and
another owned by Dan Dankert, N6PEQ. Backup units--not needed--were provided
by HRO; Margelli's wife Janet, KL7MF, manages an HRO store. They ended up
using 432.200 MHz as an operating frequency in order to avoid RFI from the
plethora of TV equipment in the studio and to avoid interfering with NBC's
gear. They ran the little transceivers at their lowest power level and with
the antennas disconnected--although they were mounted on the back of each
unit--no problem given the close proximity involved. Margelli sent with a
Bencher paddle.

To add a little atmosphere to the affair, NBC producers attired Margelli and
Miller to look like 19th-century-era Western Union or railroad Morse
telegraphers. The costumes came complete with green visors, white shirts,
sleeve garters, vests and bow ties. The teenaged SMSers wore T-shirts and
jeans.

Cook told Leno that he'd managed to send a 160-letter message to his friend
using his cell phone's short message system (SMS)--the formal term for text
messaging--in 57 seconds.

A member of the Morse Telegraph Club and a QRP enthusiast, Miller said he'd
been using CW for 38 years. Margelli told Leno he'd been using Morse "for 43
years in ham radio," a phrase Leno echoed. That was the only plug Amateur
Radio got during the appearance on the show's "Dinner for 4" segment. Miller
says that during rehearsal, the pair had come up with a few lines to promote
ham radio and telegraphy, but they were cut during the final dress rehearsal
in the interest of making the segment fit its allotted time slot.

During the Australian competition in April, a Morse team consisting of
93-year-old former post office telegrapher Gordon Hill--the sender--and
82-year-old Jack Gibson--the receiver--topped 13-year-old SMSer Brittany
Devlin. In that event, Hill spelled out the message in full, while Devlin
used text-messaging shorthand. In that competition, held at the Powerhouse
Museum in Sydney, Hill took 90 seconds to send the message, 18 seconds
faster than Devlin's message took to reach her friend's cell phone. 

Miller encouraged all who enjoyed the CW-vs-text messaging segment on NBC to
contact The Tonight Show to let the producers know about it--with an eye
toward having the network schedule a more elaborate segment "next time."

"Thanks for the kind comments from all," Miller concluded, advising "let's
keep on having fun!--It is a hobby after all."

Commented Margelli to ARRL: "I completely agree with my fantastic teammate,
Ken Miller. It was a lot of fun, just like ham radio, and the show also
delivered an important, if subtle, message about the benefits of the 'basic'
communication infrastructure that Amateur Radio provides."

==>JAPANESE JUNIOR HIGH STUDENTS TAKE "GIANT LEAP" VIA HAM RADIO

A dozen junior high students in Japan used Amateur Radio May 9 to quiz NASA
International Space Station Science Officer and US astronaut John Phillips,
KE5DRY, about life in space. The contact between NA1SS in space and 8N3H at
Hosokawa Junior High School in Ikeda was arranged by the Amateur Radio on
the International Space Station (ARISS) program. Working in microgravity,
the training necessary to become an astronaut and food were the focus of
several of the more than 20 questions asked and answered. Phillips told the
youngsters that he was surprised at how beautiful the Earth appears from
space and that he never tires of watching the planet from the ISS.
Responding to another student's question, he nearly waxed poetic in
describing Earth's beauty.

"It's absolutely true that the Earth looks beautiful from space," Phillips
replied. "The blue of the oceans, the green of the forests and the white
snow of the mountains create a beautiful and continuously changing picture."
He told the next questioner that his first impression of space was that the
view was magnificent "and that I knew that I would like it up here and that
I would like to stay longer."

Questions about the diet of ISS crews are among the most frequent during
ARISS school group QSOs, and the Hosokawa students asked several. Phillips
noted that there is both American and Russian-style cuisine aboard--some
fresh, some dried and some in cans. "We eat very well up here," he stated.
He told another student that there was plenty of food aboard the ISS and
that he and crewmate Sergei Krikalev, U5MIR, were not in any immediate
danger of running low, as the previous crew had. He explained that there's
no refrigerator aboard the ISS, and the crew's chow is stored in metal boxes
in the kitchen and elsewhere aboard the spacecraft.

As for living and working in microgravity, he said it can be fun. "I feel
wonderful in space," he declared. "I can fly like a bird or like Superman!"
In addition, he told another student questioner, working in space is much
easier because "we're always floating" and can even work upside down if
necessary. But there are downsides. He explained that the lack of gravity
means the ISS crew members always have to keep untethered objects under
control, lest they float off and get lost. Phillips said dizziness and
"space sickness" are not problems he has encountered so far, but he added
that there are medications aboard the spacecraft should either arise.

Training for his mission aboard the ISS as part of the Expedition 11 crew
took three years, he said. He advised youngsters interested in becoming
astronauts to start by studying a lot of math. He noted that an astronaut
from Japan is scheduled to be aboard the next space shuttle mission.

At the contact's conclusion, Earth station control operator Junki Okuda,
JL3JRY, said the students were very excited by the experience of being able
to talk directly with an astronaut in space. "That's one small step for man,
one giant leap for children," he joked, paraphrasing the famous words US
astronaut Neal Armstrong spoke as he became the first human to set foot on
the moon in 1969.

On hand at the school for the event were some 300 students representing the
entire enrollment of Hosokawa Junior High, plus 100 parents and other
visitors and news media representatives. The ARISS-Japan mentor for the
contact was Satoshi Yasuda, 7M3TJZ/AD6GZ.

ARISS <http://www.rac.ca/ariss/> is an international educational outreach
program with US participation by ARRL, AMSAT and NASA.

==>ARRL TO SPONSOR AFFINITY CREDIT CARD

The League will unveil its new ARRL VisaR Card--an affinity credit card with
U.S. Bank--this week at Dayton Hamvention, which is playing host to the ARRL
2005 National Convention. U.S. Bank personnel will be on hand for the
launch, Friday, May 20, at the ARRL EXPO 2005 exhibit area with applications
for radio amateurs attending the convention who want to be among the first
to apply. The no-annual-fee card is available to ARRL members and
nonmembers.

"With every card issued and every purchase made, ARRL Visa card holders
support ARRL programs and services at no additional cost to them," says ARRL
Marketing Manager Bob Inderbitzen, NQ1R. "This is a great way for members to
show off their support for ARRL and for Amateur Radio."

The card carries an attractive design with the ARRL logo. The words "Amateur
Radio Operator" appear prominently on the face of the card.

Basic information about the ARRL Visa card is available on the ARRL Web site
<www.arrl.org/visa>. This page includes a link
<http://www.usbank.com/affinitycreditcards/?loc=9507> to U.S. Bank's Web
site to learn more and to apply. 

ARRL membership does not confer automatic eligibility to obtain a card.
While there's no annual fee, the ARRL Visa card carries a credit limit of up
to $15,000 and 0 percent APR interest for the first six months. Certain
terms and conditions do apply. U.S. Bank is the creditor, issuer and service
provider.

At least initially, call signs cannot be embossed onto the card, Inderbitzen
says. "We're working with U.S. Bank to find a suitable solution, but that
will most likely be further down the line," he explained.

==>GERRITSEN RELEASED ON BOND, REMAINS UNDER HOUSE ARREST

Reputed Los Angeles-area radio jammer Jack Gerritsen reportedly has
satisfied the requirements of a $250,000 cash or property bond and has been
released from a federal lockup. The US Bureau of Prisons indicates that
Gerritsen got out of jail May 17, although he reportedly remains under house
arrest at his home in Bell. 

Acting on a criminal complaint, FBI special agents, accompanied by personnel
from the FCC Los Angeles Field Office, arrested the 69-year-old Gerritsen
without incident early May 5 at his home. Federal agents also seized his
radio equipment. According to terms spelled out by the US Attorney for the
Central District of California after he was taken into custody, Gerritsen
will be subject to monitored home detention and barred from possessing or
using any radio equipment. Additionally, Gerritsen's residence remains
subject to search. Unconfirmed reports say Gerritsen's passport has been
taken as well.

The criminal complaint said an FCC investigation revealed that Gerritsen
"often transmits his prerecorded political messages and real-time harassment
and profanity for hours at a time, often making it impossible for licensed
radio operators to use the public frequencies." 

The FCC already has affirmed a $10,000 fine against Gerritsen for operating
without a license. It has proposed another $42,000 in forfeitures for
alleged interference-related infractions. 

Five years ago, Gerritsen was convicted in a California court of interfering
with police radio transmissions and sentenced to 38 months in prison. After
his release, he applied for a Technician class amateur license and was
granted KG6IRO. The FCC promptly rescinded the grant when it learned of his
earlier conviction, however.

==>WX4NHC HURRICANE SEASON 2005 ON-THE-AIR STATION TEST SET

WX4NHC, the Amateur Radio station at the National Hurricane Center (NHC),
will sponsor the WX4NHC Hurricane Season 2005 On-The-Air Station Test
Saturday, June 4, from 1300 until 2200 UTC. This is not a contest or
hurricane exercise. The purpose of this annual event is to test all radio
equipment, computers and antennas using as many modes and frequencies as
possible. It also provides an opportunity to monitor for any possible RFI to
NOAA and NHC equipment. 

"We will also be testing some new antennas and equipment that are being
installed for this coming season," says WX4NHC Amateur Radio Coordinator
John McHugh, K4AG. "Some operator training will also be conducted." McHugh
reminds participants that the hurricane season station test is just an
equipment and operator test, and WX4NHC will not activate any nets. 

WX4NHC will be on the air on HF, VHF, UHF as well as on APRS on 2 and 30
meters. Approximate frequencies include: 7.268, 14.325, 21.325 and 28.525
MHz on SSB; 14.035, 21.035 and 28.035 MHz on CW; 14.070 MHz on PSK31. WX4NHC
also plans to be on the VoIP Hurricane Net 1700-1900 UTC on IRLP Node 9219
and EchoLink WX-TALK Conference and will be active on South Florida-area VHF
and UHF repeaters, 146.52 MHz FM simplex and 144.200 SSB. 

Participants report call sign, signal report, location, name and a brief
weather report (eg, "sunny," "rain" etc). Nonhams may submit their actual
weather using the On-Line Hurricane Report Form
<http://www.wx4nhc.org/WX-form1.html>. 

Send QSL card requests with an SASE to W4VBQ. Visit the WX4NHC Web site for
additional information <http://www.wx4nhc.org>.

==>SOLAR UPDATE

Solar flash Tad "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" Cook, K7RA, Seattle,
Washington, reports: Things got quite exciting last weekend. On Friday the
Thirteenth at 1650 UTC, a tremendous explosion near Sunspot 759 blasted
toward Earth. The impact on Earth's magnetic field was felt at 0230 UTC on
May 15, producing an extreme geomagnetic storm. A geomagnetic storm is a
disturbance of Earth's magnetic field.

The planetary K index reached 9 on Sunday, May 15. This is huge!. The
middle-latitude, high-latitude and planetary A indices for Sunday were 44,
77 and 105 respectively--all very high values. 

The A and K indices indicate the severity of magnetic fluctuations and, as a
result, the disturbance to the ionosphere. K indices of 2 or 4 indicate
unsettled or even active magnetic conditions--likely to be reflected in a
degradation of HF conditions. An index of 9 represent a major storm that
would result in an HF blackout.

* Kentucky emergency communicators receive donation: The Kentucky District 7

a $5000 donation from the John E. and Betty J. Meyer Family Foundation. The
funds will support the group's efforts to provide emergency communication to
served agencies during emergencies and disasters. KD7ARET most typically
supports police and fire departments, the National Weather Service and
emergency management offices. In addition, some of the money will be go into
a fund to purchase a mobile communication van with Amateur Radio
capabilities that could serve to back up local police and fire departments.
KD7ARET boasts more than 100 Amateur Radio volunteers from the nine-county
area comprising District 7 in Northern Kentucky. ARRL Kentucky Section
Manager John Meyers, NB4K, says the team plans to participate in ARRL Field

of Northern Kentucky Regional Communication bus, the Campbell County
Emergency Operations Center and the District Office of Emergency Management
in Walton, Kentucky, as well as additional handheld radios and extra battery
packs for emergency coordinators," he adds. Since KD7ARET's incorporation in
January 2004, the group has received $10,000 in cash and more than $2000
worth of equipment to enhance local emergency communication capabilities.

===========================================================

==>DAYTON HAMVENTION: "GENERATE SOME HEAT" TO SPUR POLITICAL ACTION

Amateur Radio licensees need to start taking personal responsibility for
prodding politicians to pay attention to hot-button issues affecting the
service, a Dayton Hamvention forum heard May 20. ARRL Hudson Division
Director Frank Fallon, N2FF, told the League's Grassroots Lobbying Forum
that when it comes to Congress, individual radio amateurs can help shape
their own future.

"Political lobbying is something people don't really want to hear about,"
Fallon conceded. "But politics controls everything we get." Fallon used the
broadband over power line (BPL) proceeding as an example of how politics can
overcome logical, technical argument. Fallon heads up the League's nascent
grassroots lobbying initiative with assistance from Great Lakes Director Jim
Weaver, K8JE, and Northern New Jersey ARRL Section Manager Bill Hudzik,
W2UDT.

Fallon focused many of his remarks on a US House of Representatives
resolution, HRes 230, sponsored by Arkansas Rep Mike Ross, WD5DVR, and
introduced earlier this year. The resolution calls on the FCC to "conduct a
full and complete analysis" of BPL radio interference potential
incorporating "extensive public review and comment," and--in light of that
analysis--to "reconsider and review" the BPL rules it adopted last October.
If approved by the full House, the non-binding resolution would express the
requests as "the sense of the House of Representatives."

The job at this point is to get cosponsors for the resolution and see it
pass the House, and that won't happen "unless we can generate some heat,"
Fallon said.

"So, if we are hanging out in the basement and doing nothing but building
rigs and working DX, we're going to be victims" of the political process,
Fallon told his audience. He explained that ARRL, as a nonprofit IRS Section
501(c)(3) organization, must adhere to strict limitations on its lobbying
activities. It cannot endorse political candidates or contribute to
political campaigns, he explained. "You can," he pointed out. "We can't."

Fallon said one way ARRL members can get vocal about legislative issues of
importance to Amateur Radio is to visit, write, e-mail or fax their US
representatives or US senators. "Your letters, e-mails and visits to
district offices give us entr?e to legislators in Washington," he said. "It
won't happen without your help." Personal visits to lawmakers at their
district offices, he said, help to "put a face on ham radio" for
politicians.

The focus of the ARRL Grassroots Lobbying initiative will be on measures
that deal with FCC matters, because Congress oversees the Commission.

Weaver told the gathering that grassroots lobbying is aimed at helping
Amateur Radio to fashion its own future. Hudzik reiterated the important of
personal involvement. "The more we're seen in a positive light, the easier
it will be," he concluded.

In the "ARRL Goes to Washington for You" forum that followed, ARRL President
Jim Haynie, W5JBP, continued in the same vein. Haynie debuted the ARRL's new
video, "ARRL Goes to Washington," narrated by network news legend Walter
Cronkite, KB2GSD.

The video--produced by Dave Bell, W6AQ, Alan Kaul, W6RCL, and Bill
Pasternak, WA6ITF, but not yet available--depicts the League's more recent
efforts in official Washington and on Capitol Hill to convey the importance
of Amateur Radio as a national resource. Haynie and other members of League
officialdom spend several weeks a year promoting visibility for Amateur
Radio and the ARRL's views--as indicated by its membership--on pending
legislation or FCC proceedings.

The video also makes the point that ordinary citizens must get involved and
orchestrate change by getting the attention of lawmakers confronted with
hundreds of constituent interests and issues.

"We've got to ratchet up our presence," Haynie said, urging more individual
amateur participation in the political process. Individual licensees also
are voters, and lawmakers are quite aware that there are radio amateurs in
their districts, he said.

Invitees to a reception May 19 honoring prominent League donors got a sneak
preview of the "ARRL Goes to Washington" video. The showing drew a hearty
round of applause and kudos to producers Bell, Kaul and Pasternak,who were
on hand for the occasion.

Reception guest speaker Tony England, W0ORE--the second person to use
Amateur Radio from space--told the more than 100 reception guests that the
US needs to boost interest in engineering, and he sees Amateur Radio as one
component in making that happen.

==>FCC STAFFER: BPL FACES UNCERTAINTY, TECHNICAL AND FINANCIAL VIABILITY
ISSUES

FCC Wireless Telecommunications Bureau staff member Bill Cross, W3TN, told
the FCC Forum at Dayton Hamvention May 21 that "a lot of uncertainty"
surrounds BPL, including questions as to its technical and financial
viability and where, how and if it will fit into the communications future.
Cross works in the WTB's Public Safety and Critical Infrastructure Division,
and much of his work directly involves the Amateur Radio Service. Devoting
nearly a quarter of his remarks to the standing-room-only audience to BPL,
Cross discussed various aspects of the FCC's October 14, 2004, Report and
Order in ET Docket 04-37. The R&O established new Part 15 rules to implement
BPL systems. Cross said the Commission's expressed a lot of "potentials" and
"coulds" in outlining its rationale for promoting BPL as another competing
broadband pipeline.

"Whether BPL catches on will be a decision made by economics, both for those
who want to provide the service and consumers who have to decide it is
better for them than other broadband services," Cross said. He also said the
FCC recognizes BPL's potential to interfere with Amateur Radio and other
radio services.

"Also note that BPL is coming on the scene, at best, as the fifth player in
a field already crowded with heavy hitters," he said. "Currently we have
cable, satellite, non-satellite wireless broadband and telephone lines
available and providing broadband service." Cross said telephone companies
already are looking at installing fiber optic cable to the home to expand
available bandwidth for consumers. At the same time, he said, cable
companies "have been spending gazillions of dollars upgrading their systems
to digital systems so they can provide services other than traditional TV
service."

Citing the current heavy level of advertising and even price-cutting by
industry players for a bigger piece of a "fixed pot of dollars," Cross
asked, "Where does BPL fit in?" Cross said he didn't believe anyone was now
getting a barrage of offers for BPL-provided services. "Nor will we be
anytime soon, from what I have read in the communications press."

Cross pointed out that FCC Part 15 rules require that licensed radio
services such as Amateur Radio must be protected from harmful interference.
He also noted that the FCC was careful to carve out reservations and set
specific prohibitions regarding BPL deployment on certain parts of the
spectrum allocated to civil aviation users, in addition to imposing some
strict requirements to mitigate interference.

"You wonder, with all these restrictions--including some that prohibit BPL
deployment in what appear to be very profitable areas--a reasonable question
might be: Who would want to go into this business?"

The current tug of war, he said, is between the three or four companies
interested in BPL--who want less onerous restrictions--and the ARRL and
other users who don't believe the restrictions go far enough. Both sides
have filed petitions for reconsideration.

"Those petitions are pending, and whatever is decided on them will affect
the final rules for BPL and may very well affect its viability," Cross
concluded.

Regarding Amateur Radio proceedings now before the Commission, Cross was
unable to pin down for FCC Forum attendees when they might expect to see a
Notice of Proposed Rule Making in response to 18 petitions for rule making
filed by ARRL, other Amateur Radio organizations and individual licensees.
The primary hot-button issue in that proceeding is the future of the Morse
code requirement for access to HF amateur bands. The FCC also is considering
proposals to create a new entry-level license class and to implement some
additional Amateur Radio license restructuring, including automatic upgrades
from Technician to General and Advanced to Extra.

Cross said he anticipates the FCC will combine the 18 petitions into one
NPRM and invite another round of comments from the amateur community. "I
suspect the proposed rule making will be coming out in late summer or this
fall," Cross said. The comment period could extend into early 2006, he
added, after which a Report and Order would be written.

The amateur community also can expect a Report and Order as a follow-up to
its April 2004 NPRM in WT Docket 04-140, Cross said. The main proposal in
that proceeding--ARRL's so-called "Novice Refarming" plan--would eliminate
the Novice/Tech Plus CW bands and use that spectrum to expand portions of
the 80, 40 and 15 meter bands. Current Novice and Tech Plus licensees would
get CW privileges in the current General CW bands. Cross said commenters
generally seem to support the proposal, although he cited requests to
establish even wider phone bands, "particularly in the 75-meter band."

Among other issues, the FCC also has proposed in the same proceeding to
essentially do away with its rules prohibiting the manufacture and marketing
to Amateur Radio operators of amplifiers capable of operation on 12 and 10
meters.

==>NO "ZERO GRAVITY" ON SPACE STATION, ASTRONAUT TELLS YOUNGSTERS

A nephew of US Astronaut John Phillips, KE5DRY, was among the middle
schoolers who spoke with the International Space Station May 16 via Amateur
Radio. The contact with youngsters at Iroquois Middle School in Niskayuna,
New York, was arranged via the Amateur Radio on the International Space
Station (ARISS) program. Responding to one student's question--how does the
robotic arm function in zero gravity--Phillips took a moment to correct a
widely held misconception about the spacecraft's environment.

"There is gravity," Phillips explained. "That's what holds us in orbit, so
let's not use the term 'zero gravity.' A lot of people use it, but it's not
really right." In past ARISS contacts, other ISS crew members have described
it as "microgravity."

Phillips said the robotic Canadarm2 has to be really flexible, but it
doesn't have to be very strong. "It's not like a crane because it doesn't
have to lift heavy weights," he said, "because we're all just floating
together here in orbit." The force the robotic arm needs to move objects is
relatively small, but it must be very carefully controlled, he added.

The young questioners included Phillips's nephew Paul Manning. His sister
Julie was in the audience for the event. Paul asked about the types of
experiments under way on the ISS.

"Well, we're doing a lot of experiments in which we are the human guinea
pigs to see how our bodies react to being in space," Phillips told his
nephew. "We also observe the earth, and we do engineering and materials
research to see how materials behave in the conditions that we can create
only here in orbit."

In response to the often-asked "food question," Phillips pointed out that
there's no refrigerator on board to keep things cold. "And contrary to what
you may have heard, there is no ice cream in space," he added.

Phillips said reaching Mars is a goal of the human space flight program, but
just how or when it will happen remain open questions. "And the idea of
actually settling on Mars for a long-term stay, that's a long, long time
away, in my opinion," he added. The crew's current mission, he explained, is
to carry out scientific experiments and to "extend the human presence in
space."

Serving as the Earth station control operator was ARISS veteran Tony
Hutchison, VK5ZAI, in South Australia. An MCI-donated teleconferencing link
provided two-way audio from the ham radio contact with NA1SS to the school.

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

==>ARRL ENCOURAGED BY NEW MOTOROLA BPL TECHNOLOGY

The ARRL this week said it was encouraged to learn of Motorola's
just-announced Powerline LV system--a BPL system that takes radio
interference concerns into consideration from the outset. The Powerline LV
system avoids using medium-voltage power lines and introduces broadband
signals only on the low-voltage side of the power transformer, greatly
reducing the system's radio interference potential.

"We know that medium-voltage power lines are no place for broadband energy,
since there is overwhelming technical evidence that radio interference from
BPL is unavoidable if MV lines are used," said ARRL CEO David Sumner, K1ZZ.
"By confining their Access BPL system to low-voltage lines and by adding
hardware notch filters for additional protection to Amateur Radio frequency
allocations, Motorola has addressed our interference concerns."

Sumner explained this week that until Motorola Powerline LV came along,
opposing BPL and opposing BPL interference were essentially one and the
same. During product development, Motorola invited ARRL's suggestions and
welcomed its input. Sumner said he hopes other BPL system providers now will
see the benefit of cooperating with the ARRL that Motorola is now enjoying.
"However, we can and should remain critical of the FCC's Report and Order,
which makes no effort to distinguish between good and bad ways of pursuing
BPL," he added.

Sumner says the League is looking forward to seeing the first Powerline LV
system in operation. The ARRL will continue to work with Motorola "to ensure
that their new product is indeed the first BPL system that is a solution,
not a problem," he said.

There's more information about Motorola's Powerline LV system on the
company's Web site

==>FCC LAUNCHES NEW SERVICE TO DELIVER CUSTOMIZED E-NEWS

The FCC Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau (CGB) is launching the
Consumer Information Registry, an expanded and improved e-mail service that
will deliver customized information about the FCC's actions and related
developments in telecommunications and other communications services.

"The Registry is an Internet database that can be customized to deliver
information on whatever topics the subscriber chooses," the FCC said in a
news release this week. Among the many choices are "Amateur Radio and
Related Interests" and "Ham Radio." The topic checklist also includes
Broadcast TV and Cable TV, but subscribers can also specify topics not on
the list.

Acting CGB Chief Monica Desai says the FCC is "delighted to be able to offer
this valuable tool to everyone interested in communications issues." She
says FCC Chairman Kevin J. Martin has expressed an interest in ensuring that
consumers continue to enjoy the benefits of the best communications system
in the world. "I believe the Consumer Information Registry has the potential
to play an important role in achieving that goal," she added.

The sign-up information is on the FCC CGB Web site
<http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/contacts/>. Subscribers will be asked to indicate
the subjects on which they wish to receive information. The service is free,
and subscribers may unsubscribe at any time.--FCC

==>MEMBERS PICK NEW SECTION MANAGERS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, WEST TEXAS

New Hampshire and West Texas will have new Section Managers starting this
summer. Ballots in the two contested seats were counted and verified this
week at ARRL Headquarters.

In New Hampshire, Sterling Eanes, AK1K, of Manchester topped Russ Santos,
K1TSV, of Milford by a vote of 333 to 200. An ARRL Life Member, Eanes has
been active in the Nashua Area Radio Club where he has served as its
chairman. He also helps run both local and statewide training courses and
exercises and helps as an on-line mentor for the ARRL Emergency
Communications Course. He's been licensed since 1962.

Eanes will succeed Al Shuman, N1FIK, who chose not to seek another term
after serving since October 2000. Shuman also was SM from December 1992
until June 1999.

In West Texas, Bill Lawless, W5WRL, of Midland outpolled Ricky Dean, AA5AW,
of Borger, 229 to 67 votes. A radio amateur since the mid-1970s, Lawless has
been an Assistant SM since August 2004 and has been active in BPL issues in
Texas. He has served as club president for the Key City Amateur Radio Club
and as secretary/treasurer for the Permian Basin Amateur Radio Club. He's
also a Frequency Coordinator for the Texas VHF FM Society.

Lawless will take over the SM post from John Dyer, AE5B, who did not seek
another term. Dyer has served as West Texas SM since October 2002.

Six sitting ARRL Section Managers faced no opposition in the current
election cycle and were declared elected for new terms. They are Tom
Abernethy, W3TOM, Maryland-DC; Bob Beaudet, W1YRC, Rhode Island; Dick
Flanagan, K7VC, Nevada; Bill Hudzik, W2UDT, Northern New Jersey; Charles
McConnell, W6DPD, San Joaquin Valley, and Mel Parkes, AC7CP, Utah.

Two year terms for successful SM candidates begin July 1.

==>SOLAR UPDATE

Heliophile Tad "Sunshine Superman" Cook, K7RA, Seattle, Washington, reports:
Solar and geomagnetic numbers for the past week were lower. All days were
quiet except for Friday, May 20, when mid-latitude K and A indices indicated
unsettled geomagnetic conditions, and planetary numbers indicated a
geomagnetic storm.

Average daily sunspot numbers this week were down more than 39 points to
36.6. The average daily solar flux dropped by more than 19 points to 83.5.

A solar wind stream from a coronal hole is expected to affect Earth Friday
and Saturday, May 27 and 28. Predicted planetary A index for May 27-30 is
10, 20, 20 and 12. Solar flux is expected to rise slowly, reaching 100
around May 29 and peaking around 105 around June 3 and again on June 7-10.

None of this should have a major negative effect on the CQ World Wide WPX CW
Contest this weekend.

Sunspot numbers for May 12 through 18 were 110, 100, 91, 69, 70, 45 and 46,
with a mean of 75.9. The 10.7 cm flux was 117.4, 125.9, 99.5, 103, 99.1, 90
and 83.8, with a mean of 102.7. Estimated planetary A indices were 17, 27,
8, 105, 33, 19 and 13, with a mean of 31.7. Estimated mid-latitude A indices
were 13, 21, 4, 44, 18, 10 and 6, with a mean of 16.6.

Sunspot numbers for May 19 through 25 were 34, 22, 37, 42, 36, 40 and 45,
with a mean of 36.6. The 10.7 cm flux was 84.7, 83.5, 81.9, 82.1, 83.4, 85.2
and 83.8, with a mean of 83.5. Estimated planetary A indices were 11, 30,
21, 14, 7, 5 and 6, with a mean of 13.4. Estimated mid-latitude A indices
were 7, 17, 13, 10, 5, 2 and 2, with a mean of 8.

* ARRL Headquarters to be closed for Memorial Day: ARRL Headquarters will be
closed Monday, May 30, in observance of Memorial Day. There will be no W1AW
code practice or bulletin transmissions that day. ARRL Headquarters will
reopen Tuesday, May 31, at 8 AM EDT. We wish everyone a safe and enjoyable
holiday weekend!

* Former ARRL staffer Vicky Armentano, SK: Former ARRL Headquarters staff
member Victoria "Vicky" Armentano of Newington, Connecticut, died May 15.
She was 79. Armentano began her 21 years of ARRL service in 1977 in the
former Club and Training Department, where she helped support volunteer
instructors and ARRL-Affiliated clubs. After an ARRL reorganization, she
worked in the former ARRL Field Services Department, where she became solely
responsible for clubs and the newer Special Service Clubs. Armentano retired
in 1998, shortly after the Field Services and Educational Activities
departments merged into Field & Educational Services. "Many ARRL members who
held the responsibility of Affiliated Club Coordinator remember Vicky well,"
says ARRL Field and Educational Services Manager Rosalie White, K1STO. "She
cared about her work with the clubs and volunteer instructors and developed
personal relationships with many Affiliated Club coordinators and presidents
of the Special Service Clubs and affiliated clubs." Armentano's survivors
include her daughter Gail Iannone, an ARRL Field and Educational Services
staff member, and a son, Ben. A service was held May 19. The family invites
memorial contributions to St Mary's Church, 505 Willard Ave, Newington, CT
06111 or to the American Diabetes Association, 300 Research Pkwy, Meriden,
CT 06450.

* Hurricane Watch Net, WX4NHC activate for early-season storm: The Hurricane
Watch Net (HWN) on 14.325 MHz and Amateur Radio Station WX4NHC at the
National Hurricane Center activated May 19 as Tropical Storm Adrian
approached the Pacific Coast of Central America. Eventually gaining
hurricane strength, Adrian raked El Salvador before crossing over the
isthmus into the Caribbean. Adrian was the first named storm of the 2005
hurricane season, which does not officially begin until June 1. HWN Manager
Mike Pilgrim, K5MP, said the net stood down after 15 hours of operation.
"Many thanks to all of you who helped to route interested parties to our net
frequency and otherwise provided your silent support while we performed our
duties," he added. The HWN and WX4NHC work hand-in-hand to gather and
disseminate ground-level observed and/or measured weather data from radio
amateurs and weather watchers within a storm's path. The information
collected helps National Hurricane Center forecasters to better predict a
given storm's behavior. The storm left two people dead in a mudslide in
Guatemala. Flooding and additional mudslides prompted by heavy rains were
considered continuing dangers in Adrian's wake. Adrian made landfall early
May 20 in El Salvador where more than 20,000 evacuees reportedly took refuge
in emergency shelters. There was some wind damage in the capital city of San
Salvador as well as in other localities.

* New Mexico ARES ready for flood and fire: With melting snow threatening to
flood northern New Mexico and early-season forest fires breaking out, this
spring and summer promise to be busy for New Mexico Amateur Radio Emergency
Service members. Just this week, a radio amateur driving outside Los Alamos
reported smoke and fire near the Valle Calderas. Sandoval County ARES
District Emergency Coordinator Mike Scales, K5SCA, announced on the Sandoval
County ARES (SCARES) repeater that a second fire has broken out near Regina,
while a third fire is burning in Rio Arriba County. All of these fires are
in remote locations. With all rivers in New Mexico experiencing
above-average water flow, flooding remains a concern. Taos, San Juan, Rio
Arriba, and San Miguel Counties were reported under a flash flood watch due
to present snow pack melt conditions. Residents in Questa are sandbagging
their homes in an effort to keep overflowing waters from encroaching on
their homes. Local emergency managers are keeping an eye on river flow and
are expecting a continued rise in levels throughout the week. ARES teams in
Sandoval, Santa Fe, and Los Alamos are on standby should conditions warrant
an evacuation and to provide necessary communication support. In a typical
situation, ARES members would deploy to emergency operations and Red Cross
evacuation centers as well as to emergency command posts in the field.

* Japan to relax Morse code licensing requirements: The Japan Ministry of
Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) took action May 24 to relax Morse
code requirements for Amateur Radio licensing, but it did not eliminate them
altogether. Effective October 1, 2005, the MIC will reduce the requirements
for First and Second class licenses to 5 WPM--solid copy for two minutes.
The previous code requirements for these licenses were 12 and 9 WPM
respectively. The MIC will drop the Morse requirement, now 5 WPM, for the
Third class license.--submitted by Joe Speroni, AH0A

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR A LARGE PART OF ARKANSAS.

DAY ONE...THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

DAY TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL STALL OUT TO THE SOUTH OF ARKANSAS...
AND THEN WILL BEGIN TO MOVE BACK TO THE NORTH AS A WARM FRONT
SATURDAY NIGHT. AT THE SAME TIME...AN UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM WILL
APPROACH THE AREA...AND WILL INTERACT WITH THE SURFACE BOUNDARY.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME LIKELY BY LATE SUNDAY 
AFTERNOON OR EARLY SUNDAY EVENING. 

AT THIS TIME...THERE APPEARS TO BE A POSSIBILITY OF STRONG TO
ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER ABOUT THE NORTHWEST THIRD OF
ARKANSAS ON SUNDAY NIGHT. IF ANY STORMS WERE TO BECOME STRONG
DURING THIS TIME...THE PRIMARY CONCERN WOULD BE DAMAGING WIND OR
LARGE HAIL. 

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE INTO MONDAY...AS ANOTHER
UPPER SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS ARKANSAS...AND A COLD FRONT AND
STRENGTHENING SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACH FROM TEXAS AND
OKLAHOMA. THE FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS ARKANSAS ON MONDAY AND MONDAY
NIGHT. DUE TO HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT IN THE ATMOSPHERE...AND
RELATIVELY WEAK WIND FLOW IN THE LOWER AND MID LEVELS...LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINFALL MAY OCCUR WITH SOME OF THE STORMS...PARTICULARLY ON
MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. LOCALIZED FLOODING PROBLEMS MAY OCCUR...
PARTICULARLY IF STORMS DEVELOP AND MOVE OVER THE SAME AREAS.
ALSO...ISOLATED STRONG THUNDERSTORMS MAY NOT BE OUT OF THE
QUESTION. 

THE SYSTEM WILL MOVE OUT OF ARKANSAS BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. ANOTHER
SYSTEM MAY AFFECT THE MID-SOUTH AND ARKANSAS BY THE END OF THE
WEEK...BUT AT THIS TIME SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT ANTICIPATED. 

PEOPLE SHOULD KEEP AN EYE ON THESE POTENTIAL WEATHER EVENTS IN THE
DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN TIME FRAME. THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY
WITH REGARDS TO THE TIMING AND SEVERITY OF THESE SYSTEMS. MONITOR
THE LATEST FORECASTS...STATEMENTS...AND OUTLOOKS FOR YOUR LOCAL

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR A LARGE PART OF ARKANSAS.

DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

A WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER CENTRAL AND WEST TEXAS WILL BEGIN 
MOVING BACK TO THE NORTH TONIGHT. MOISTURE WILL INCREASE OVER THE 
AREA...WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BECOMING POSSIBLE BY THIS 
EVENING. AT THIS TIME...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED. 

DAY TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

UNSETTLED WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE 
NEXT WEEK. THE WARM FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS ARKANSAS ON SUNDAY...WITH 
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY. THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL 
BE MOST LIKELY OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF ARKANSAS SUNDAY MORNING...
AND OVER THE NORTHERN HALF SUNDAY AFTERNOON. SOME OF THE STORMS MAY 
BECOME STRONG...AND A FEW COULD REACH SEVERE LIMITS. IF ANY STORMS 
WERE TO BECOME SEVERE...THE PRIMARY THREAT WOULD BE LARGE HAIL AND 
DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS. 

ALSO...DUE TO HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT IN THE ATMOSPHERE...AND 
RELATIVELY WEAK WINDS IN THE LOW AND MID LEVELS...RAINFALL MAY BE 
LOCALLY HEAVY AT TIMES. THIS WEAK LOW AND MID-LEVEL FLOW IS 
CONDUCIVE FOR THUNDERSTORMS THAT WILL DEVELOP AND MOVE OVER THE SAME 
GENERAL AREAS. THUS...LOCALIZED FLOODING MAY BECOME A PROBLEM. 

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ON SUNDAY NIGHT AND 
MONDAY...AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES INTO NORTHERN ARKANSAS...AND 
A STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES INTO WESTERN 
ARKANSAS. ONCE AGAIN...ISOLATED STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT OUT OF 
THE QUESTION...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY...WHICH IS 
EXPECTED TO STALL OUT IN THE VICINITY OF NORTHERN ARKANSAS. 
HOWEVER...THE GREATER CONCERN WILL BE INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR 
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. 

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO ARKANSAS BY MONDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...THE 
BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO STALL OUT NEAR SOUTHERN ARKANSAS BY TUESDAY. 
THERE WILL BE A CONTINUED CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...AS 
SEVERAL UPPER LEVEL SYSTEMS MOVE ACROSS...AND INTERACT WITH THE 
BOUNDARY. 

AT THIS TIME...THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER POTENTIAL BEYOND MONDAY IS 
QUITE UNCERTAIN. THE FORECAST COULD AND MAY VERY WELL CHANGE 
SIGNIFICANTLY BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. TO STAY INFORMED...MONITOR THE 
LATEST FORECASTS...STATEMENTS...AND OUTLOOKS FOR YOUR LOCAL AREA 
FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.

SPOTTER ACTIVATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED THROUGH TONIGHT.

ESPECIALLY OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN HALF OF THE STATE. SEVERE WEATHER 
IS NOT EXPECTED.

DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

WEST. MEANWHILE...A COLD FRONT WILL BE MOVING TOWARD THE STATE FROM

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

A WARM FRONT REMAINS STRETCHED OUT ALONG THE LOUISIANA AND ARKANSAS 
BORDER AT THIS TIME. THE FIRST IN A CONTINUING SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL

>From the mother of a military man:

One of my sons serves in the military.  He is still stateside, here 
in California.  He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and 
welcoming  people were to him and his troops everywhere he goes, 
telling me how people  shake their hands, and thank them for being 
willing to serve and fight, for  not only our own freedoms but so 
that others may have them also.  But he also told me about an 
incident in the grocery store he stopped at yesterday, on his way 
home from the base.

He said that ahead of several people in front of him stood a woman 
dressed in a burkha.  He said when she got to the cashier she loudly 
remarked about the US flag lapel pin the cashier wore on her smock.  
The cashier reached up and touched the pin, and said proudly, "Yes, 
I always wear it and I probably always will."

The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to 
stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi.  A 
gentleman standing behind my son stepped forward, putting his arm 
around my son's shoulders, and nodding towards my son, said in a 
calm and gentle voice to the Iraqi woman: "Lady, hundreds of 
thousands of men and women like this young man have fought and died 
so that YOU could stand here, in MY country and accuse a check-out 
cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen.  It is my belief that had you 
been this outspoken in YOUR own country, we wouldn't need to be 
there today.  But, hey, if you've now learned how to speak out so 
loudly and clearly, I'll gladly buy you a ticket and pay your way 
back to Iraq so you can straighten out the mess in YOUR country that 
you are obviously here in MY country to avoid."

Everyone within hearing distance cheered!
