From bmarx at bellsouth.net Fri Jul 1 14:20:44 2016 From: bmarx at bellsouth.net (Bill) Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2016 14:20:44 -0400 Subject: [QCWA Everglades Chapter #69] A Message from Jeff Message-ID: Greetings to all, June was a busy month for us in the SFL Section. Every week there was either a club meeting, ARES event, government meeting, club picnic or activity that I was able to attend, not to mention Field Day weekend. I appreciate the opportunity to meet with our members at these various activities in our section. Field Day 2016 Report- Our annual SFL FD Tour conducted by ASM Barry Porter, KB1PA and yours truly visited 13 FD sites operated by 16 clubs in 6 counties. I received 5 FD messages from the following clubs: Boca Raton ARA , Fort Myers ARC, Fort Pierce RC, Gold Coast ARA & Platinum Coast ARS. Club PIO?s worked overtime to obtain print and electronic media coverage of SFL FD operations as well as state, county and municipal proclamations for Amateur Radio Week. Field Day is the most popular event in Amateur Radio. I hope everyone had the opportunity to participate in some capacity and had a meaningful, safe and enjoyable FD experience. After a delicious dinner at the Ft. Pierce/ Pt. St. Lucie club?s FD, I had the pleasure to present Ft. Pierce RC President Harold Levy, N3UY, the club longevity award for 55 years of ARRL affiliation. Congratulations to all ! Please welcome Ricky Deluco, K4JTT as our new Assistant DEC for the Space Coast District, Pete Rimmel, N8PR as a new Technical Specialist and Ed Johnson, W2PH as a new Official Relay Station. Thanks for joining Team SFL ! Our congratulations to Pete Rimmel, N8PR in at placing 3rd worldwide in the W1AW Chase with 2452 QSO?s with W1AW stations during the ARRL Centennial. Good show, Pete ! The 13 Colonies Special Event Gets Under Way on July 1 The eighth annual 13 Colonies Special Event takes place from 1300 UTC on July 1 until 0400 UTC on July 7. Stations working the special event station in at least one of the original 13 states ? or all 15 participating stations ? will be eligible for a certificate. A Liberty Bell endorsement will be attached for stations contacting sister special event station WM3PEN, in Philadelphia, where independence was declared. Back this year, is a second sister station GB13COL in Durham, England. Stations will be on the air from each of the original 13 colonies ? Connecticut (K2D), Delaware (K2E), Georgia (K2G), Massachusetts (K2H), Maryland (K2F), North Carolina (K2J), New Hampshire (K2K), New Jersey (K2I), New York (K2A), Pennsylvania (K2M), Rhode Island (K2C), South Carolina (K2L), and Virginia (K2B). All HF bands and all modes will be in play, with the exception of 60 meters. Operation on 2 and 6 meter simplex is encouraged. FCC?s OET Clarifies Emissions Compliance Testing for RF LED Lighting Devices The FCC?s Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) has clarified that all RF LED lighting devices falling under Part 15 rules as ?unintentional radiators? must meet conducted and radiated emissions limits set forth in those rules. ?Operation of Part 15 unintentional radiators is subject to the condition that no harmful interference is caused,? the OET reminded, in a knowledge database paper released on June 17. ?Manufacturers and users should therefore note that lighting devices are required to cease operation, if harmful interference occurs.? The OET said radiated emissions measurements must be performed at least from 30 MHz to 1000 MHz to adequately demonstrate compliance with Part 15 (?15.109). Its guidance, the OET continued, applies to RF LED lighting devices that, in the past, have been considered to operate on frequencies below 1.705 MHz. Previously, devices operating between 9 kHz and 1705 kHz had to be tested only for radiated emissions up to 30 MHz, where no specified radiated emissions limits exist, and were exempt from testing from 30 MHz to 1000 MHz. The OET said it recognizes that routine radiated emissions measurements are needed under Part 15, based on the highest frequency generated or used in the device. ?[W]e have found that emissions from RF LED lighting devices are non-periodic, broadband in nature, and are produced as a byproduct of the internal driver circuitry within the RF LED lighting device,? the OET ?knowledge data base? paper said. ?These types of emissions have adequate energy and potential to generate radiated emissions well above 30 MHz.? The ARRL Lab?s Electromagnetic Compatibility Engineer Mike Gruber, W1MG, said he was pleased to see the FCC?s OET clarify the test measurement requirements. He said ARRL is generally hearing more RFI complaints stemming from RF LED bulbs. ?Not only are the emissions limits higher for Part 15 LED bulbs ? as opposed to Part 18 fluorescent and CFL bulbs, they seem to be winning out in terms of consumer popularity,? Gruber said. ?Higher limits and more bulbs probably make for more complaints.? Gruber said the Lab has seen LED lighting devices causing problems in the 2 meter band. ?Since conducted emissions limits do not apply above 30 MHz, radiated emissions limits can be the first line of defense against RFI at these higher frequencies.? Gruber pointed out that noise generated by street and traffic lighting can be widespread. In such instances, he suggested that Part 15b limits for residential areas should apply. ?These limits are lower than Part 15a limits, which are intended only for commercial and industrial environments,? he explained. ?This is especially critical in cases where a pole transformer connected to the lighting device also feeds a home or residence. The 240 V split-phase secondary system can conduct RF into a residence through the service entrance panel.? He suggested that the lower limits may benefit mobile users. The OET noted that the ANSI Accredited Standards Committee C63? -EMC standards development committee is drafting measurement procedures for lighting devices. ?When complete, we expect it will address in greater detail the measurement procedures and configurations to be used in determining compliance,? the OET said. ARRL to Sponsor 2016 Atlantic Season Hurricane Webinar The ARRL will sponsor a 2016 Atlantic Season Hurricane Webinar on Thursday, July 21, at 8 PM ET (0000 UTC on Friday, July 22, UTC).

No reason has been given for the decision to close the business. AES has been a premier player among Amateur Radio equipment retailers for decades, as well as a major presence at Dayton Hamvention? and other events. Various media outlets were informed of the closing in a brief e-mail message on July 6, but word of the closing has not yet appeared on the retailer's website or Facebook page. > > "It's with great sadness that I have to tell you that Amateur Electronic Supply (AES) will cease operations at the end of this month," AES National Sales Manager Tom Pachner, W9TJP, said in an e-mail. An employee at the Milwaukee headquarters store, who did not wish to be identified, confirmed that the message was legitimate. It's believed that the AES staff was notified before the July 4th holiday weekend. In addition to the Milwaukee store, AES operates outlets in Cleveland (Wickliffe), Las Vegas, and Orlando. > > Fond-du-Lac, Wisconsin, native Terry Sterman, W9DIA (SK), founded AES in 1957 when he was just 18, after getting into the radio-TV business by working in his father's TV and electronics parts store. On January 1, 1998, ownership of AES shifted to Amateur Electronic Supply LLC, headed by Phil Majerus, a prominent Wisconsin businessman. Sterman died the following year at the age of 60, after a period of ill health. > > For many years, the public face of AES was its Executive Vice President Ray Grenier, K9KHW, who oversaw marketing and advertising for the retailer from 1964 until his retirement in 2013. Grenier nearly singlehandedly produced the famous AES catalog, as well as magazine ads. For about 20 years, he also organized the well-received AES Superfest, a promotional effort begun in 1995 that grew into a hamfest. In April, the AES Superfest hosted the 2016 ARRL Wisconsin Section Convention. > > Many radio amateurs reacted to the news on various online forums, expressing surprise, sadness, and dismay, and saying they would miss AES. A few reminisced about having bought their first radios from AES.

The bill now will go to the full House for consideration. Before reporting the bill out of committee, the panel first voted to accept the amended language ?in the nature of a substitute.? Rep Greg Walden, W7EQI (R-OR), who chairs the Energy and Commerce Committee?s Subcommittee on Communications and Technology, said the substitute bill represented ?a good balance? following months of meetings, hard work, and compromise, and he recommended the measure to his colleagues. > > ?The amendment guarantees that even in deed-restricted communities, Amateur Radio operators are able to use an effective outdoor antenna,? Walden said. ?Without an effective antenna Amateur Radio operators are severely limited, so this amendment ensures that amateurs are free to pursue their passion wherever they live.? > > At the same time, he continued, the measure protects the rights of those ?who have chosen to live in deed-restricted communities and to set their own aesthetic and other rules.? > > In early June, the ARRL and the Community Associations Institute (CAI) ? the national association of homeowners associations (HOAs) ? announced that they had reached consensus on substitute language for H.R. 1301 in an effort to move it through committee and to overcome objections to the companion US Senate bill,S. 1685. The offices of US Representatives Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), the bill?s sponsor, Anna Eshoo (D-CA), and Walden mediated and offered assistance. > > ?While it?s rare to have two groups with opposing viewpoints walk away from legislation happy, by golly, I think we?ve done it here,? Walden concluded. He said the nature of the substitute represented ?the best of what our committee can do when we work together in bipartisan compromise that meets the needs of all parties involved.? > > In her remarks, Eshoo said she was glad that an agreement was reached on the language of the bill, which she initially feared would violate the rights of homeowners associations. ?We found a balance that works for all stakeholders,? she said. She called ARRL and CAI ?the bookends of the effort.? > > Kinzinger called the amended bill ?a good amendment that strikes the right balance.? > > http://www.arrl.org/news/amateur-radio-parity-act-receives-favorable-house-energy-and-commerce-committee-report > > Amateur Radio Parity Act Draws Support in Opening Statements of Delayed Hearing > > 07/12/2016 > A Capitol Hill lockdown delayed the start of the Energy and Commerce Committee markup session on July 12. Police had ordered the lockdown while investigating a suspicious item found in an employee?s backpack earlier in the day. Once the session did get under way about 40 minutes late, Committee Chairman Rep Fred Upton (R-MI) spoke briefly in support of H.R. 1301 and an ?Amendment in the Nature of a Substitute to H.R. 1301.? In June, the ARRL and the Community Associations Institute (CAI) ? the national association of homeowners associations (HOAs) ? announced that they had reached consensus on the bill?s provisions. > > ?Just as the law recognizes that access to broadcast satellite communications are an important part of our national information infrastructure, so too should we recognize the role of Amateur Radio,? Upton said at the session, orally reprising the opening statement he?d prepared for the June 22 markup that was postponed. ?This is especially important as Amateur Radio operators can serve a crucial role in providing communications in the wake of natural disasters and other times when commercial communications networks might be unavailable.? > > Upton said the substitute bill language reached by the ARRL and CAI represented ?a good-faith compromise between the two parties most impacted by this bill: Amateurs and community associations.? Upton is not an H.R. 1301 cosponsor. > > While many of the committee?s members skipped the hearing, perhaps as a result of the Capitol Hill lockdown, two members also mentioned H.R. 1301 favorably in their opening statements. Rep Frank Pallone (D-NJ) said he also supported the substitute language for the measure. ?Amateur Radio provides essential services in times of emergency,? Pallone said. ?I support the bipartisan amendment in the nature of a substitute negotiate by Chairman [Greg] Walden, [W7EQI], and ranking member [Rep Anna] Eshoo. It addresses issues raised by stakeholders, while providing Amateur Radio services better access to build facilities.? > > Rep Eshoo (D-CA) said she was pleased that agreement was reached on the Parity Act bill, which, she said, ?would make it easier for Amateur Radio operators to install the antennas they need?while also providing homeowners associations flexibility to establish reasonable rules regarding the size and the appearance of these antennas.? She said the substitute language represented ?a bipartisan compromise.? > > Neither Eshoo nor Pallone are among the 126 cosponsors of H.R. 1301. > > The Energy and Commerce Committee will reconvene on July 13 at 4:30 PM to consider the bills before it in detail. > > More information on the Amateur Radio Parity Act, including a copy of the complete substitute amendment agreed to by ARRL and CAI, is available on the ARRL website. > > > > http://www.arrl.org/news/amateur-radio-parity-act-draws-support-in-opening-statements-of-delayed-hearing From bmarx at bellsouth.net Tue Jul 19 22:20:44 2016 From: bmarx at bellsouth.net (William Marx) Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2016 22:20:44 -0400 Subject: [QCWA Everglades Chapter #69] Tower wanted.
