Members,

Wes, K2TZ has designed the Hamfest Flyers and Kenny KC2OOP has printed off
sufficient copies for distribution. It would be helpful if you're going to
any of the hamfest listed below if you would request a flyer package and
take them with you if you plan on visiting any of the listed hamfest. If you
plan to visit a hamfest that is not listed such as those held in neighboring
states please request a supply. All one has to do is deposit them on the
hosting club's table and he sellers and buyers will take one in passing.

Please don't hesitate to let Drew or Rich know if you plan on visiting any
of the hamfest and we'll get you some flyers to keep you company.

Here is a very good forum given by Ed Hare, W1RFI, of the ARRL lab on RFI from power-line devices.  It is 60 minutes from start to finish with the first 12 minutes as an interview at the Raleigh, NC hamfest.  
It is very informative about power line noise from power line devices and with information about how ARRL lab works with industry and FCC in tracking-down/fixing issues.

It is very well worthwhile spending the time to view this forum.

RESCUE RADIO:  OKLAHOMA HAMS RESPOND TO TORNADOES

Wednesday, March 25th was a busy afternoon and evening for ham radio
emergency communications volunteers in Oklahoma.
This as the Southwest Independent Repeater Association and the Tulsa Region
Skywarn Nets were active in support of
tornado warnings in both Metropolitan areas.  Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF
reports:

--

[Bill]  As the storms progressed across the Tulsa Metro area many of the
early damage reports were passed to The Tulsa
Area Emergency Management Agency via amateur radio.  Oklahoma section radio
amateurs, on both sides of the State
reported on these severe weather outbreaks until the exited late that
evening.

According to Lloyd Colton, KC5FM, both the Tulsa and Norman offices of the
National Weather Service have amateur radio
stations.  Colton, who is the Oklahoma Section Manager notes that both
encourage Skywarn and Weather Ready Nation
programs in their service area.

KC5FM says that in Severe Weather mode, volunteer radio amateurs serve as
SKYWARN net controllers operating with a
tactical call of  "TULSA WEATHER" under using the callsign WX5TUL.  There
are 2 dual band radios, radar displays and
monitors to track warnings and briefings, as well as systems to monitor
APRS.  Also, the Tulsa Amateur Radio Club's UHF
Super link System is used for SKYWARN traffic outside the metro area.

For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, in the newsroom
in Los Angeles.

--

In the wake of the severe weather outbreak 25 of the 77 counties in Oklahoma
were declared disaster areas by Governor
Mary Fallin while the State's Attorney General Scott Pruitt warned citizens
to be wary of scammers seeking to take
advantage of survivors.

RESCUE RADIO:  ITU SENDS TELECOMS KIT TO VANUATU

The International Telecommunications Union has deployed emergency
telecommunication equipment to Vanuatu following the
devastation caused by Category 5 Cyclone Pam that hit the archipelago on
March 13th.

The ITU dispatched 40 satellite phones, 10 broadband global area network
terminals and 35 solar panels to the island
nation to support relief coordination efforts.

When Cyclone Pam slammed into the Vanuatu archipelago winds were estimated
to have reached 150 miles per hour with gusts
peaking at around 200.  This caused massive  damage to the nation's
infrastructure while impacting services such as
electricity and communications with the outside world.

Over the years Vanuatu has been a haven for tourists and DXpeditions.  Now,
many who had visited are struggling to
recognize damaged landmarks shown on TV news.

RADIO LAW:  BROADCASTERS SAY NO TO FCC ENFORCEMENT DOWNSIZING? 

Broadcasters appear to be in agreement with the ARRL and numerous other
interests that are opposing the Federal
Communications Commission's plan to close two-thirds of its field offices
around the country.  Amateur Radio Newsline
Bruce Tennant, K6PZW, has the details:

--

[Bruce]  A few weeks ago FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler proposed downsizing the
number of field offices the agency has
throughout the country from 24 to 8.  He called it a cost- saving tool that
shouldn't hinder the agency's ability to do
its work. At that time, ARRL Chief Executive Officer Dave Sumner, K1ZZ,
expressed dismay at the proposal.  In a widely
published statement Sumner said that it's troubling to see recommendations
for such drastic reductions in the
Commission's geographic footprint and the number of field agents at a time
when the Field staff is facing ever-
increasing challenges.

Now it appears as if the National Association of Broadcasters has joined in
condemning the Wheeler inspired cutback
proposal.  In an ominous warning the N-A-B says that the plan would gut the
agency's eyes and ears and leave it in the
dark. Bob Weller is the trade group's vice president of spectrum policy.  In
a blog posting on  Monday, March 30th he
warned that the change of pace is coming right as the FCC is encouraging
broadcasting companies to sell their licenses
to the nation's airwaves in a massive auction planned for next year.  One
which will require some companies to share
spectrum space.

Weller noted that while the broadcast industry lobby supports the concept of
spectrum sharing, that a robust mechanism
for enforcement is critical to ensure that devices operate only on the
frequencies they are authorized.

He warned that fewer field offices could lead to some unsettling scenes if
malfunctions occur while companies are trying
to share airwaves but the FCC's cops aren't on the beat.  That says Weller
means disrupted emergency and AMBER Alerts,
unreliable police and fire communications, riskier air travel and a host of
other scary possibilities.

So far the FCC has rejected the impression that its response times will
change.  In a statement, an FCC spokesperson
said that under the proposed approach, the commission would maintain its
current commitment to respond to all public
safety spectrum issues within one day, anywhere in the country.  It was also
noted that the majority of the nation is
reachable within 4 to 6 hours.

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

--

The unnamed FCC spokesperson summed up by saying that if the proposal is
adopted, the commission will meet its
responsibilities while existing within today's flat-line budget  Those who
depend on FCC Field Bureaus for emergency
response are not certain that this promise can be kept. (The Hill)

RESTRUCTURING:  FCC MAY APPROVE WIRELESS CARRIER AND GOVERNMENT SHARING

Federal regulators are set to vote on a plan to allow wireless carriers and
companies to share airwaves with the
government.  This, in an effort to make more of the airwaves available for
future wireless devices.

Essentially, the government has developed a spectrum sharing plan that would
protect radar systems near military bases
and the coastline while auctioning off access to the spectrum in other parts
of the country. A portion of these airwaves
would also be reserved for free use by anyone with an FCC certified device
that doesn't create interference.

Traditionally, wireless carriers have paid billions of dollars at auctions
for licenses that give them exclusive rights
to use airwaves for voice and mobile Internet service.  Now the Federal
Communications Commission is proposing a new
approach for the 3.5 gigahertz band that would allow some users to access
the airwave at no cost while others could buy
exclusive licenses in specific geographic areas on a short-term basis.

The proposal is being looked at as a novel new effort by the FCC which has
spent the last several years trying to free
up more airwaves for wireless carriers trying to stay ahead of consumer
demand, as well as setting aside some
frequencies for new Wi-Fi networks.

The agency proposed this airwaves sharing plan last spring, and the wireless
industry and some tech companies have been
arguing about the details ever since.  Most of the sparring has been over
technical rules, including the size of
protected zones around military bases.

The FCC is expected to approve the proposal at a meeting later this month.
What impact such a spectrum sharing plan
might have on the near-by 3.3 to 3.5 GHz amateur radio and amateur satellite
allocation is unknown.

ENFORCEMENT:  WDBJ FINED FOR AIRING INDECENT PROGRAMMING MATERIAL DURING
NEWSCAST

The Federal Communications Commission intends to fine WDBJ Television, Inc.,
of Roanoke, Virginia, $325,000.  This, for
broadcasting what the agency termed as graphic and explicit material during
the station's evening newscast.  Stephan
Kinford, N8WB, has the details:

--

[Stephen]  Following up on viewer complaints, the FCC's Enforcement Bureau
investigated the situation  surrounding a
WDBJ news story about a former adult film star who had joined a local
volunteer rescue squad.  The investigation found
that station staff obtained a video clip from an adult film website and
broadcast those images in the news report that
aired at approximately 6 p.m. on July 12, 2012.

The Commission's enforcement action alleges that the broadcast of such
explicit content violated federal laws
prohibiting the broadcast of indecent programming.  It plans to fine WDBJ
$325,000, which is the maximum available
penalty.

This is the third action the FCC has taken regarding the broadcast of
indecent material since January 2014.  In April
2014, its Enforcement Bureau settled an investigation into allegations of
the broadcast of vulgar language on radio
station KRXA - AM, which resulted in a payment of $15,000. In August 2014,
Border Media Business Trust paid $37,500 in
penalties to settle an investigation into the use of indecent language
during a morning show on radio station KDBR - FM.

For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Stephen Kinford, N8WB, in Wadsworth,
Ohio.

HAM TECHNOLOGY VIDEO: DIGITAL VOICE - WHICH WAY TO GO

If your club is thinking of replacing its current FM voice repeater with a
new Digital Voice system but don't know
what's the right choice, help has arrived in the form of a new video release
from HamRadioNow.TV.

Produced by Gary Pearce, KN4AQ, the VHF/UHF DV System Comparison is the
story of a group of Digital Voice enthusiasts in
Charlotte, North Carolina, who have repeaters for every digital voice system
available except P-25.  They have D-STAR,
DMR/ MotoTRBO and even a new Yaesu System Fusion machine. So they're in a
pretty good position to evaluate the various
technologies. And in episode 195 of HamRadioNow,  Roland Kraatz, W9HPX gives
a simple to understand talk at the
Charlotte Hamfest, comparing all three.

So if you or your club are thinking of making the Digital Voice move, first
take your web browser to tinyurl.com/hrn-
on-dv, sit back for about an hour and soak in the information that might
help you make the right choice. (ARNewsline,

HAM HAPPENINGS:  THE ANNUAL SCHOOL CLUB EU DAY

Europe's annual School Club EU Day sponsored by Germany's AATIS Initiative
is inviting in school amateur radio stations
in Europe to be active on Tuesday, May 5. This for the purpose of making
contacts between those school amateur radio
club and school girls and boys with own callsigns as well as contacts with
other stations.

According to Region One of the International amateur Radio Union, this
activity is a great way to get young operators on
the air from their school shacks using their training call signs.  IARU says
that very often a new operator may be
intimidated by the fear of not knowing what to say to the stranger on the
other side of the radio.  The exchange of
information through the AATIS Initiative helps to overcome this fear in a
low pressure contest format, it should not be
made a "5-9-contest."  As such, all operators are encouraged to take more
time to chat beyond the exchange of the
necessary details. ??A certificate of participation will be issued for
stations that send an excerpt from the log of the
day.  There is also the chance of winning one of the prizes to be given away
by the AATIS Initiative.

SWL NEWS:  DEUTSCE WELLE TO CLOSE KIGALI RWANDA SHORT WAVE RELAY

German international broadcaster Deutsche Welle is shutting down its relay
station at Kigali in Rwanda. When the relay
station first started transmitting it was about 15 km from the city center.
Since then Kigali has grown and the station
now finds itself in the suburbs.  Because of this the plot of land on which
the station stands has skyrocketed in value.

But the price of real estate was just one issue Guido Baumhauer, Deutsche
Welle's Director of Distribution, was forced
to face when attempting to negotiate with the Rwandan government.  According
to Baumhauer, even if the relay station
wanted to stay it  couldn't because its contract with the Rwanda is expiring
and its government does not wish to renew
it.

Established in 1965 Kigali Rwanda was the broadcaster's last short wave
relay still in operation.  Dismantling the
station could take until August 2016 and Deutsche Welle has to vacate the
premises by that date.?

WORLDBEAT:  U.S. PROPOSES MAKING RADIO MARTI INDEPENDENT

The White House has proposed turning Radio Marti, the U.S.
government-controlled broadcaster created in part to
undermine communist rule in Cuba, into a separate entity. This, as
Washington seeks as new direction in its dealings
with Havana.

Under the plan, the Miami based broadcaster, which is part of the
Broadcasting Board of Governors would become a
separate entity along with unspecified parts of Voice of America's
Spanish-language service.  In essence, Radio Marti
would cease to be part of the U.S. government and would turn into a
"grantee" receiving federal funding.  The proposal
does not specify how it would be structured beyond that it would a private,
nonprofit organization.   (Published news

WORLDBEAT:  FALCONS STOP VODAFONE PHONE TOWER UPGRADE

In the UK, the Register newspaper reports that some large birds have
interrupted a two hundred million dollar Vodafone 4
G antenna upgrade program.   The five pairs of nesting falcons disrupted
Vodafone customers' mobile phone  signals in
London and the south east - because the birds have set up shop on  the
mobile carrier's towers.

Vodafone spokesman Simon Gordon told the press that Falcons usually like
rocky cliffs but given the absence of such in
metropolitan London they make do with phone towers. Typically they nest for
two to three months.  Gordon added that
Vodafone was very pleased to have the world's fastest bird as visitors.  You

THAT FINAL ITEM:  NASA SAYS ASTEROID REDIRECT MISSION WILL TAKE PRECEDENCE
OVER MARS MISSION

And finally this week, a remote controlled mission to the red planet has
been a longtime priority for NASA.  No the
space agency revealed that they will start working on an asteroid relocation
mission first.  Amateur Radio Newsline's
Heather Embee, KB3TZD, has the details:

--

[Heather] NASA Associate Administrator Robert Lightfoot says that the
Asteroid Redirect Mission or A-R-M will provide an
initial demonstration of several spaceflight capabilities that will be
needed to send astronauts deeper into space, and
eventually to Mars.

As the agency tries to find select the best asteroid for the mission, it
will study the candidate asteroids regarding
their size, rotation, shape and precise orbit.  The main candidates so far
are asteroids Itokawa, Bennu and 2008 EV5.

The agency expects to have a selected asteroid by 2019 and then place it
into a stable orbit around the moon they study
it.  To move the asteroid into moon's orbit, NASA plans to use new
trajectory and navigation methods.  NASA said it will
be picking up a small asteroid that will burn in space if it attempts to get
into Earth's atmosphere before reaching us.

According to NASA, the A-R-M robotic spacecraft will test several
capabilities that will be needed for a long term human
mission.  For example, it will test the advanced Solar Electric Propulsion
or S-E-P technology.  S-E-P will basically be
used to harness sunlight power and converts it to electrical power using
solar arrays that will be used to propel
spacecraft engine.  And that's only one of the research projects that will
be an integral part of the Asteroid Redirect
Mission.

For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Heather Embee, KB3TZD in Berwick,
Pennsylvania.

Slow-Scan TV Transmissions from ISS Scheduled for April 11
04/06/2015
 
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station has announced that slow-scan television (SSTV) transmissions are planned for Cosmonautics Day, Saturday, April 11 from RS0ISS in the ISS Russian sector.

Cosmonautics Day celebrates space pioneer Yuri Gagarin?s April 12, 1961, as the first human to reach space.

The SSTV event will get under way at on April 11, 1000 UTC on 145.800 MHZ and continue until 2130 UTC. All transmissions will use SSTV mode PD180. If similar to prior SSTV events, 12 different photos will be sent through the weekend with 3 minute off periods between transmissions.

Receiving the SSTV images requires a 2 meter receiver/transceiver and a PC to convert the audio to an image. Software such as MMSSTV is available free on the Internet. Received images may be uploaded and viewed at the ARISS IMAGE GALERY.  

Unanticipated events on board the ISS may cause any scheduled ham radio event to be postponed or cancelled. Check the the ARISS facebook page for updates

**UPDATE** April 7
ARISS Russia coordinator has stated that the event will operate on April 12 as well during the same 10:00-21:30 UTC time frame. 

**UPDATE** April 9

The Russian crew plan for the weekend has been updated and if I am reading it properly, SSTV will setup starting at 10:00 UTC on April 11 with control checks at 21:30 on April 11 and 08:45 UTC on April 12 then shutdown at 21:30 UTC on April 12. That will provide about 35 hours of continuous operation

Marty,

I like your idea but unfortunately I received an email from Mark K2MPM at 
6:24 PM, two minutes earlier than the private email you sent me at 6:26

Just FYI - I received an email from Drew at 6:01, but he was a previous 
winner of one of my earlier book raffles.

Mark - you're the winner. I'll send to your QRZ address.  You might want to 
consider Marty's idea about reading and donating to the club table at the 
hamfest.


Regards,

John, N2DV

The show covers a wide range of topics for ham radio operators, electronic hobbyists, and shortwave listeners; such as, balloon launches, Satellite, go-kits, emergency communications, SDR, digital modes, DXing, home brewing, and more. We are adding another segment for our shortwave listeners. Ted Randall, WB8PUM, from QSO Radio Show will be joining us each week as a co-host.


This week?s guests are Martin F. Jue, K5FLU, founder of MFJ Enterprises, discussing MFJ, and Don Kunst, W3LNE, discussing radio activities with the Boy Scouts.

International Marconi Day
April 25 is International Marconi Day  (IMD)  organized by the Cornish Radio Amateur Club in Cornwall, UK. IMD recognizes the anniversary of the birth of wireless pioneer Guglielmo Marconi, born on April 25, 1874. Participating stations are expected to be on the air during the period 0000 to 2400 UTC (ie, starting the evening of Friday, April 24, in US time zones). The occasion offers an opportunity to contact historic Marconi-related radio sites around the world on HF. 

Among stations planning to be on the air is VP8VPC in the Falkland Islands. The VPC suffix recalls the call sign of the Marconi spark transmitters in Stanley. The 150 kW transmitter built in 1915 fed seven 305-foot masts and operated on 60-70 kHz. It was the most remote and most powerful station in the Royal Navy's First World War network of stations. After the war, VPC handled commercial message traffic to South America. 

IMD certificate (Information and details) are on the IMD website. http://www.gb4imd.com/

Just so everybody knows, the qso may not be on 145.800 (the standard 
downlink for the iss)  The times I have been present for these things a 
"secret" 2m frequency is chosen to prevent QRM (intentional and

Hi everyone,
Well, it was a ''quasi success''.  The ISS didn't pass close overhead and so 
the access time between AOS and LOS was quite ''short'' and signal strength 
was low and ''noisy''.  But I did ''copy'' the transmissions on 145.800 MHz 
from the ISS and listened to Samantha Cristoforetti, IZ?UDF, answering 
questions from the class which was scheduled to make the ARISS contact.
Of course, the up-link was conducted on a different frequency and I have no 
doubt that the ISS downlink that was used for the contact with the class was 
other than 145.800 but the downlink audio was, nonetheless, also on the 
normal downlink frequency of 145.800.

I was ''mobile'' at the time using my 3 DBd gain mag-mount antenna with my 
Wouxun U/V8D which has a measured sensitivity of .15 uV for 10 DB SINAD 
(signal and noise to noise ratio). This resulted in a nearly full-quieting 
signal from the ISS (with some minor fade episodes).

Even though not having had my own QSO with Samantha, it was inspiring to 
listen-in!

http://njhab.com/

Members,

Mike Terruso, WA4LOQ, who gave an excellent presentation on High Altitude
Ballooning at February ETSNJ meeting has established two tentative launch
dates. One is on June 26th and the other on Aug, 17, 2015. He is looking for
hams to help track the payload on those dates using dl-fl-digi software.
This will be a very interesting set of projects when they roll out. I've
posted two links above for those that are interested in how amateur radio
can be used in HAB events.

Mike intends to keep us informed in the tracking program and information
going forward. If interested please contact Mike Terruso,WA4LOQ at
wa4loq at outlook.com for more information and to volunteer to help in any way
possible.

Hello Drew.  Weather is getting better.  Launch is scheduled for Saturday
June 27th.  Location has yet to be determined as it is dependent on weather.
I will be updating the website over the next few days with scheduling.
he'll be posting instructions on how to install the special version of
dl-fldigi to download the telemetry and also scheduling two test launch
dates.  This is so operators can get used to tuning in and ensuring the
telemetry can be heard.  The challenge there is getting the payload in a
location high enough where it can be received by everyone.
 
It's a long ways away but I will also be scheduling a launch for August 17,
2017 which is the date of the next total solar eclipse in North America.
This is one that will be meticulously planned.  Photos from this should be
really impressive.  
 
The Rasp Pi is certainly fascinating.  So many applications.  I actually
have 3 of them.  One I will be creating a weather station which will upload
real time telemetry to my website.  That's a summer project of mine.  I am
also trying to use them to control home automation such as opening and
closing garage doors using your mobile devices.  The possibilities are
endless.
