A new 'bill' is proposed to clamp down even 'harder' on the use of hand held devices while mobile.  This new bill would most likely make it a violation to use your mobile radio even while stopped at a traffic light or in traffic jams.

We should all probably consider getting ''hands-free'' devices for our mobile 'rigs'.  Not only will it prevent unnecessary stops and hassles on the road but it will make it safer to allow both hands on the wheel.

Members,

 

A fellow ham from Canada was going to be at a meeting over at IEEE a short
distance on the day of our hamfest. He planned on walking over and visit our
event. Now it seems he will not be at the IEEE facility but would like to
still visit our hamfest. Anyone passing the Hyatt Hotel interested in
providing him a lift to the hamfest it would be greatly appreciated. Please
let me know.

Hello Drew,

 

I've locked everything in, and it turns out I have the 'WHOLE SATURDAY "
free !!    If you know of other hams who may be interested to have me visit
in the afternoon, or catch-up for dinner with a few from the professional

Looks like I'm staying at the Hyatt New Brunswick, just across the river..
That's just a bit too far to walk, so may get a cab over there, or sweet

Hello David,

 

Great, put the hamfest on the critical path in your Gantt chart. 

 

The hamfest official start time is 8am ending at 12 noon. However vendors
and sellers are usually well underway setting up their spaces by 7am and you
could always come early. If you are viewing the site on Google earth you
could use the address of 110 Behmer Ave, Piscataway , NJ 08854 to get a
satellite view of the event location. We are in the parking lot immediately
y east of the Piscataway High School football field. There's a large open
land area out the back of IEEE called Green Acres that you could easily
cross or use the jogging/walking path. Otherwise you can easily drive north
for 2 lights to Behmer road and turn right and go about .2 miles to the
site.

SB QST ARL ARLB009
ARLB009 Petition to Expand RFID Use on 70 Centimeters Withdrawn

The FCC has dismissed without prejudice a Petition for Rule Making
(RM-11651) by Lockheed Martin that would have amended the
Commission's Part 15 rules to expand deployment of the company's
radio frequency identification (RFID) system in the 433 MHz band
(433.5-434.5 MHz). Lockheed Martin sold its RFID business 2 years
ago, but the company only this month requested that the Petition be
withdrawn and the proceeding terminated.

The ARRL had staunchly opposed the Lockheed Martin petition, which
the firm filed on behalf of its subsidiary, Savi Technology. The
League locked horns with Savi years ago, when the company
successfully petitioned the FCC to amend its Part 15 rules governing
periodic radiators to permit high-power, near-continuous duty RFID
tags in the 433 MHz band. As a concession to opponents, the FCC
limited deployment of the devices to "commercial and industrial
areas" and allowed their use only for tracking "commercial shipping
containers." Lockheed Martin acquired Savi Technologies in 2006.

The now-dismissed petition would have expanded the frequency range
of the RFID tags to 433.05-434.79 MHz, required
listen-before-transmit protocols to avoid interference to Amateur
Radio, eliminated a manufacturer registration requirement, and
dropped rules that prohibited deploying the devices outside
"commercial or industrial areas" and limited their application to
"commercial shipping containers."

The ARRL filed vigorous opposition to the Lockheed Martin Petition
in January 2012, saying that Lockheed's petition "seeks to undo
virtually all of the few interference protections" the FCC had
adopted in 2004, "solely on the basis of vaguely stated advances in
RFID technology." Other Part 15 device manufacturers also opposed
any expansion of the high-power application.

A May 14 Commission letter from FCC Office of Engineering and
Technology Chief Julius P. Knapp said that on the basis of Lockheed
Martin's Petition and the comments filed on it, "we do not find
sufficient basis to propose rules," and determined that the original
petition "does not warrant" FCC consideration. Knapp added, however,
"Any party interested in pursuing changes to the rules for RFID
operations in the 433 MHz band may file a new petition."

Maybe the same way the government regulates all other ham radio frequencies and modes.  Emergency communications public safety ect are given priority.   Higher class hams are given more privileges.

  Dayton Hamvention Exam Session Results
     Posted by:  aa3rr at w3vpr.org aa3rr
     Date: Tue May 20, 2014 8:50 pm ((PDT))

  During the Dayton Hamvention the Laurel VEC coordinated free exam 
sessions on Friday (16 May) and Saturday (17 May) at the Basore Grace 
Brethern Church.  The church is located about 3-4 minutes from Hara 
Arena by free shuttle van service that ran every half hour and often 
sooner.

  The church facilities are far superior to those in Hara - the church 
is air-conditioned and the bathrooms were immaculate and fresh. 
Additionally, the members of the church provided freshly cooked food 
from 9AM until about 4pm.  Their menu included made to order breakfast 
burritos, hamburgers, and brats as well as a variety of beverages and 
home baked goodies.  The food was fresh, tasty, and very affordable. 
The VEs and the applicants were well fed throughout the exam sessions.

  During the two days of exams, 245 exams were administered to 194 
applicants
  139 Applicants passed at least one exam element for a success rate of 
72%
  157 exams were passed and 88 were failed for a pass rate of 64%
  128 Element 2 exams were administered - 90 were passed for a pass rate 
of 70%
  66 Element 3 exams were administered - 43 were passed for a pass rate 
of 65%
  51 Element 4 exams were administered - 24 were passed for a pass rate 
of 47%

  90 new hams resulted from the exam sessions
  80 Technicians
  4 Generals
  6 Amateur Extras
  Some of the new hams from Friday's exam session had their results 
uploaded to the FCC by 12:30 PM and their new calls were granted by 
12:35 PM.  The rest of Friday's successful applicants had their results 
uploaded to the FCC by 5:20 PM and their upgrades and new call signs 
granted by 5:36 PM on Friday.

  Saturday's applicants had their results uploaded to the FCC on Monday 
and were available for viewing as early as 4:22 AM

  License distribution:

       80 Technicians
       34 Generals
       24 Extras

  Some of Friday's new hams upgraded on Saturday.

  Want more information about the Hamvention exam sessions or about free 
testing?  Send me an e-mail.

Letters: New Focus on the "Served Community"
I appreciate the focus you have been bringing in recent QST articles. I was active in leadership in Palm Beach County (Florida) ARES during our calamitous 2004-2005 hurricane seasons when we activated for four different storms. Based on that experience, we encountered challenges under the then-current ARES model, which focused on served agencies. Staffing was a major issue for us. Based on this experience, I came to the conclusion, further reinforced in the years that followed, that the ham community needed to turn its focus toward their own individual neighborhoods and communities. 

Now, I am more convinced than ever that the future utility of Amateur Radio in public service lies in the individual ham's immediate community - the "served community" as opposed to the traditional served agency model. The public still has little recourse when cell phones stop working. A ham can organize a communications system in his neighborhood, make it known that his is the door to knock on to get a message out, and when an incident happens, he can do what he is most likely to do anyway: hunker down with his family and protect them and his property, instead of being asked to make accommodations to leave all that is precious to him behind to drive through potentially hazardous conditions to a distant service point like an EOC or shelter to serve somebody else's needs. 

Of course, there will always be a need/opportunity for well-equipped, well-trained, well-organized self-sufficient teams of communicators to travel to areas affected by worst-case scenarios, and that should be part of planning efforts, but they should come from operators with personal situations that have been unaffected by the disaster effects. Asking a ham to leave his family and property who are clearly out of harm's way to go help others is much more reasonable and rational than asking him while he and his family are personally affected by the incident. -- John Sheats, WD4V, Loxahatchee, Florida

And I have one of those re-purposed cases for my FT-897 as well - it's a treasure.  Howard was one of those guys who was ALWAYS interesting to talk with, as we often did during our mutual commuting time.  He was a great fan of working FM simplex car-to-car whenever possible, something I continue to enjoy.  I've missed him since he moved to Florida.

Yup...odd that I was thinking about him at Dayton -- strange indeed.  Super
guy - I met him back in the early '80's trying to sell him mainframe
software - he didn't buy but we became friends.  His son, Doug, worked at
Oracle after college and he interviewed me for a position in consulting
that I turned down!

I've kept in touch with Doug - birthdays, etc., and he wrote me today.  73,

I knew Howard as a fax customer back in the '80's. Whenever I was there
(Ortho) on a service call conversation always turned to modern technology.
Howard was always nudging me to get back into ham radio. When I finally did,
I again ran into him at an RVRC meeting shortly before he moved to Florida.
He was a great guy!

One very interesting SSB-related happening took place 1956.

 Air Force General Curtis LeMay had been assigned in 1948 to head the Strategic Air Command in. LeMay was well known on the ham bands as Curt, W6EZV. By virtue of SAC's mission, extremely reliable, long-haul communication was necessary. Separate radio operators were being eliminated from bomber crews, and the first thought was that SAC would communicate using HF AM radios. Because of his Amateur Radio background, LeMay had become aware of the value of SSB. So, he had Amateur Radio SSB gear installed in a SAC test aircraft that made two flights from SAC HQ in Offutt AFB, Nebraska -- one to Greenland and one to Okinawa -- while making SSB contacts all along the way on the ham bands! In addition to LeMay as an operator, two civilian operators were on board -- Art Collins, W0CXX (Collins Radio), and Leo I. Myerson, W0GFQ (World Radio Labs). A lot of hams around the world received treasured QSL cards from contacts made with that rare aeronautical mobile. 

Soon thereafter, SAC announced its decision to install HF SSB equipment on its bombers and other aircraft. As you can see, Amateur Radio lent a helping hand to SAC and our nation's defense posture, back in the day when the Cold War was getting very chilly.

Members,

I just learned that member Joe, WA2QHA Had fallen and has been hospitalized.
He was transferred to Lyons VA hospital. He was apparently not injured in
the fall. They are working on balancing his meds and he should be back home
later in the week.

If these are indeed honey bees, they normally can't sting when they have
just swarmed. Why?

Part of the swarming process is to gorge themselves of hive resources
(pollen/honey) which makes it extremely difficult to physically impossible
to sting.

I have helped collect a swarm myself, it's fun!

Message-ID: <CAO2dfsrS5ZzdBN5C3nBpd5a-uz44yX++Z2vbf2ifX7dt+Dg7eA@mail.gmail.com>

I bought this a year or two ago for my FT-817. I got the cable for it too.
 I sold the '817, and I now have a KX3 and the companion KXPA100 amplifier,
so the THP is surplus.

First $300 takes it.  I'd prefer local pickup/meet you halfway, etc.

For those of you who may not be familiar with this amplifier, it is
designed for the person who likes to work HF and 6 meters QRP most of the
time, but could use a few more watts out from time to time!  The
integration with the FT-817 is very slick, but it will work with any
transmitter with 5 watts or less output (the power out of the amp is ~45
watts).  It works with any mode.  Frequency coverage:  160-6.
