       NCVEC Releases Second Technician Question Pool (Feb 2, 2010) -- In January, the Question Pool Committee  of the National Conference of Volunteer Examiner Coordinators the 2010 Technician (Element 2) Question Pool. Upon further review of the pool, members of the QPC found and corrected more than 50 minor typographical errors and clarified the questions and answers, making them easier to understand. These adopted changes are now incorporated in a revised question pool. The errata list is available on the NCVEC Web site. The previously released pool dated January 4, 2010 is invalid for use. The newly revised Technician question pool will become effective for all examinations administered on or after July 1, 2010; it will remain valid until June 30, 2014. The current Technician question pool that became effective July 1, 2006 will expire June 30, 2010. The new Technician pool contains approximately 400 questions, from which 35 are selected for an Element 2 examination; it will contain graphics and diagrams, something new for this element. The the current GENERAL question pool was effective July 1, 2007 and is valid through June 30, 2011. The current Amateur Extra question pool was effective July 1, 2008 and is valid until June 30, 2012.

	Potentially Significant Weather Event In The NNJ Section And
	Elsewhere
Message-ID: <380-22010255164445759@earthlink.net>

Hello All - FYI from the NNJ ARES - 73 de N2DV


Situational Awareness of the potential significant winter weather event in the area is requested of all ARES members.

Individual ARES Members are also requested to follow any instructions issued by their local ARES Leadership in conjunction with any activations or stand-by requests from local Served Agencies and Partners. Contact information for NNJ ARES Leadership as well as ARES Alert Status Information is available here: www.hudson.arrl.org/nnj/ares 

As of early Friday morning, NWS forecasts are still not fully locked in on any one solution for this event. NWS is noting that a small change in the track (as little as 15-30 miles) can have a large change on local area impacts. The next computer forecast model runs, will be done with data collected from the early morning weather balloon launches and ground observations (FYI...this worldwide data collection takes place at both 0000z and at 1200z and is then input into the various computer forecast models).

For the latest NWS Snowfall Total amount predictions please refer to the 2 links included below, and note that there are county based specifics for each link. These should be checked from time to time , both before and during this event, for updates and changes as the situation becomes better defined and refined by the NWS.

Subject: [RVRC] 4 meter ham band proposed,
Message-ID: <D0492E5FEC4C40B49B6559EE214775B7@marvbronsPC>

RESTRUCTURING: PETITION FILED FOR CREATION OF U.S. 4 METER BAND 

QRZ.com lead moderator Glen Zook, K9STH, of Richardson, Texas has filed a Petition for Rulemaking to the FCC. One aimed at creating a 70.000 MHz to 70.500 MHz amateur radio band in the United States. Amateur Radio Newsline's Bruce Tennant, K6PZW, has more: 

-- 
This is a report from "Amateur Radio Newsline".......




In his January 27th filing, Glen Zook, K9STH, notes that the 4 meter band spectrum has been authorized in a growing number of European and African nations. He says that by establishing such privileges for amateur radio operators in the United States and other areas over which the Commission has jurisdiction that it would be of great benefit to those operators residing in such areas. 

According to Zook, the recent migration of broadcast television stations to primarily the UHF frequencies has basically eliminated any probable interference to television channels 4 or 5 which otherwise might have occurred. This is because the 4-meter band is located on frequencies that were allocated to television channel 4. Since the 4-meter amateur radio band does not fall in the 72.0 MHz to 76.0 MHz segment which is allocated to Operational Fixed and various mobile services there would be no potential co-channel or adjacent channel interference. 

In his proposal Zook suggests that the FCC allow all classes of amateur radio operators operating privileges on this new band. However, he also suggests that Novice Class licensees be restricted to a lower output level than those allowed for Technician, General, Advanced and Extra Class licensees. He says that if the present maximum power output limitation of 1500 watts P-E-P is granted to the higher class licensees then the Novice Class licensees should be restricted to no more than 200 watts power output as per most of the privileges granted those operators who hold a Novice Class license. 

It should be noted that there are still a small number of low-band VHF television transmitters in operation and their owners will likely oppose the creation of a new ham band at 70 MHz. That said, the level of opposition from broadcasters will likely be far less than it would have been before the Digital Television transition of June 2009. Thats when most of the nations VHF low band stations on channels 2 through 7 migrated to channels in the U-H-F range. 

If the FCC decides to issue it a Rule Making designation, Glen Zook's petition to create a ham radio allocation at 70 MHz is likely to garner a lot of support from within the ham radio community. Especially from those who operate in the world above 50 MHz. 

For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bruce Tennant, K6PZW, in Los Angeles.

Subject: [RVRC] Another move on mobile 'driving distractions'
Message-ID: <14F67FEAACA141FDB13EF625493A18EF@marvbronsPC>

>From "Amateur Radio Newsline"........


COMMUNICATIONS LAW: NEW GROUP FORMED TO FIGHT DISTRACTED DRIVING 

A new group with government support is targeting all forms of distractions while driving. And while amateur radio is not yet in its gun-sights, hams will want to keep a close eye on this one as we hear from Frank Haas, KB4T, has the details: 

-- 

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has teamed up with the National Safety Council for form a new organization to end distracted driving. This through the creation of a new organization called FocusDriven which is the first nonprofit organization devoted to combating distracted driving and supporting victims of distracted drivers. 

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration defines distracted driving as any non-driving activity a person engages in that has the potential to distract him or her from the primary task of driving and increase the risk of crashing. It notes that there are three major types of driving distraction that incude visual, manual and cognitive. In simple terms this means any activity that causes a driver to take one's eyes off the road, ones hands off the steering wheel, or one's mind off of driving. 

While distracted driving has always been a safety issue. Now, with the advent of mobile communication devices and other mobile technologies, it has become what the FocusDriven calls a growing epidemic. The group considers cell phone texting the most alarming of newer distractions, because it involves all three types of distraction. Other forms of distracted driving includes driving while using a cell phone, changing a radio station, eating and drinking, talking to passengers, grooming, using a CD or Mp3 player, watching a video or reading, or using a PDA or navigation system or other portable electronic devices. 

So far, a ban against texting while driving has been enacted in 19 states plus Washington D.C. and Guam. Six states plus Washington D.C. and the Virgin Islands have banned the use of all hand-held devices for any reason while driving. Most but not all do have exclusions for users of two-way business communications and some have extended that exclusion to amateur radio. 

For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Frank Haas, KB4T, in Holly Hill, Florida.

The new FocusDriven organization is said to be modeled after the organization Mothers Against Drunk Driving. More is on-line at www dot focusdriven dot org. (FocusDriven, various news reports)

Hi Gerry,

Been some time since our last exchange.  Had hoped that it would not have
taken me this long to get to this point, but travel back and forth to AZ and
working on the house in NJ took it?s toll time wise. In a nutshell, finished
working on the house and put it on the market December 1st.  First viewing
18 days later led to sale of said house.  I settle on the 25th.  Needless to
say, got a bunch of stuff ? ham and household - to unload ?cuz I ain?t
takin? it to AZ with me.   I?ve also got a couple of web pages up (
www.silvasi.net/KC2Jforsale.html and www.silvasi.net/forsale.html ) with
pictures of the stuff.  If it fails to move quickly, I may be interested in
donating some or all to a worthy legitimate cause ? any suggestions??

Best 73 for now,

Joe.

We can probably move this conversation over to the EchoLink group list. At
the moment, the issues appear to be iPhone application issues. Not EchoIRLP.

Looks like multiple iPhones may get assigned the same IP address for
EchoLink. I saw this last night after my brother tested it with me on my
TBD conference. I could see several EchoLink nodes in the EchoLink hosts
lists with the same IP address. My brother installed it on other family
phones, and found only one phone could connect to a conference at the same
time. Perhaps the RELAY/PROXY/DIRECT settings may impact this.

I'm thinking there are some issues to be resolved with this new
application. But when it worked, it sounded great.

Thanks, Eric.  This sounds plausible.  My problem is intermittent, like
something is getting stuck after I use it once and then clears after a
while.

Message-ID: <000001caad8f$d803d9a0$880b8ce0$@net>

Guys,

 

                I am putting my MFJ 4125P 12v power supply up for sale. It's
a 2.5lb 25A supply with the new Anderson PowerPole block built into the
front.

 

                There is nothing wrong with the supply, other than the
audible sound of the fan (all 4125's have this 'habit'). I need a PSU that I
can leave on 24/7 without any extra noise coming out of the spare bedroom!

 

                I bought this from Gene at our hamfest last June, and it's
never been put under any load (all it did was run my 7000 on RX). I paid
$124.00 new, and I'm only looking to get $70.00 (cut my losses). Anyone
interested can contact me on my normal e-mail address.

*IARU Region 2 and Radio Club de Chile Request Amateurs to Keep 
Emergency Frequencies Clear* (Feb 27, 2010) -- A massive 8.8 magnitude 
earthquake hit Chile today at 0634 UTC, triggering a potential tsunami. 
IARU Region 2 <http://www.iaru-r2.org/> and the Red Chilena Nor Austral 
de Servicio (RECNA 
<http://www.ce3aa.cl/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=38&Itemid=40>) 
have suggested Amateur Radio operators monitor the following emergency 
communications frequencies for traffic pertaining to the earthquake and 
tsunami 
<http://www.iaru-r2.org/wp-content/uploads/MS-Chile-English.pdf>: 3.738, 
3.750, 7.050, 7.100, 14.200, 14.350, 21.200, 21.350, 28.300 and 28.500 MHz.
IARU Region 2 Area Emergency Coordinator Jorge Sierra, LU1AS, reports 
that there is now traffic at frequencies of 40 meters from people 
seeking information from people in Chile: ?We would appreciate if 
amateurs would leave free the frequencies used by RECNA, as well as the 
usual IARU Region 2 frequencies on in 20, 40, and 80 meters.? In 
addition to the above frequencies, you may also want to listen to the 
worldwide emergency communication Center of Activity frequencies: 
14.300, 18.160 and 21.360 MHz.
Other suggested monitoring frequencies are 3.720, 7.045 and 7.060 MHz. 
Hawaiian Amateur Radio operators on the lookout for a possible tsunami 
are monitoring 7.088 and 3.888 MHz. -- /Thanks to Radio Club de Chile?s
