Message-ID: <0E50C97AD1574B968C41CFDF89248855@marvbronsPC>

In this month of April; Amateur Radio Day, always on April 18, the day the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) was founded in 1925. The continuing theme for the annual World Amateur Day is ?Celebrating Amateur Radio?s Contribution to Society?. On April 18, there will be many IARU Member Societies on the air with specific call signs representing their society. Some societies actually apply for a special event call sign, usually ending with the suffix "IARU". Interesting QSL cards will surely glaze the ham shack wall!

All
There are some events and information that I think we need to be aware
of.  This information can't wait for the April NNJ News email later
this month.

FAIR LAWN ARC wil have a lecture on:

CYBERSECURITY: WHAT YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF
The presentation will be held on Friday, April 21, 2017 starting at
7:00 PM at the Fair Lawn Senior Center, 11-05 Gardiner Road  in Fair
Lawn, NJ.  The event is open to the public.

The presentation will focus on the following:
?	What is cybersecurity; why is it important to critical economic
sectors like healthcare?
?	What are the current cybersecurity threats?
?	What technology is used in cybersecurity?
?	How do you stay safe? The human behavior aspect of cybersecurity.


There will be an Exercise covering NNJ and SNJ - ARES and RACES

EXERCISE            EXERCISE              EXERCISE
Gotham Shield is a Regional Exercise by the Red Cross, funded by FEMA,
to help test how the agency would respond to a major disaster in the NY
region.

Communications wise, the test aims to find out strengths and weaknesses
in response when EMP takes out cell phones and electronics in the
affected areas, roughly a 20 kilometer circle, and there has to be a
response for a mass casualty incident. The exercise will look at what
happens when the phones are out on the commercial side, and how
government nets(800 MHZ and MARS), their support nets (ARES/RACES), and
EmComm and r egular ham nets communicate in passing exercise traffic.
Drill date is Wednesday, April 26th,

WEST ESSEX ARC will host a lecture on Your first HF Station

Mike Luongo, K2NNN, will present Ideas for your First High Frequency
Station at the West Essex ARC on April 19 at 8 pm. This presentation
will discuss setting up an HF station in your house or apartment. It
will include information on transceivers, antennas, and accessories.
The West Essex ARC meets at the Essex Fells Service Building, 2nd
Floor, 307 Runnymede Road, Essex Fells, NJ. The doors will open at 7:30
pm

NEWS FROM THE ARRL

1) The ARRL Executive Committee (EC) has directed that work begin on
finalizing the language of a revised memorandum of understanding
between ARRL and the FCC regarding the Amateur Auxiliary (Official
Observer) program

2) International Marconi Day (IMD) event, this year being held on April
22, 0000-2359 UTC (starting on April 21 in US time zones). All contacts
counting toward the Marconi Award must be made on HF with registered
stations, but other participating stations do not need to be registered
to claim awards.

The event is not a contest but an opportunity for amateurs around the
world to make point-to-point contact with historic Marconi sites using
HF communication techniques descended from those used by Marconi, and
to earn an award certificate for working or hearing a requisite number
of Marconi stations.

There are two categories. Transmitting amateurs attempt to complete
contacts with 15 of the official award stations, while shortwave
listeners attempt to log two-way communications made by 15 of the
official award stations.


Don't forget the Splitrock Hamfest on April 23 in Succasunna, NJ

73 and Happy Holidays

Subject: [W2CRA] Cell phone laws and Ham radio

 

Since there have been questions asked lately re: hams operating mobile with respect to distracted driving laws, the Hudson Division Director researched and offers the following from the New York State DMV.

Following that, I also found a link that provides the New Jersey DMV perspective. Enjoy!

 

Given the concern that many hams have regarding the new ?Distracted Driving Law? that went into effect in New York this past July, particularly since the law increased the penalty to 5 points on a license, I recently asked the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles Counsel?s office for an explanation of both the cell phone and distracted driving laws and how they apply to hams.

The opinion, which I just received, can be found [HERE <http://hudson.arrl.org/new-york-state-dmv-opinion-cell-phone-law-and-distracted-driving-law/> ].   I suggest that you read it thoroughly.  It?s very detailed but simply put, it says the following:

1.	 The use of two-way radios that are not connected to a public switched telephone service does not violate the ?Cell Phone Law.?  Therefore, operating a ham radio does not violate the law (Section 1225-c).
2.	If the equipment in the car is not capable of violating the distracted driving law (including sending text messages, pictures, e-mail, other electronic data, etc.), then the operator is not in violation of the ?Distracted Driving Law? (Section 1225-d).
3.	Even if the equipment is capable of violating the law (including sending text messages, pictures, e-mail, other electronic data, etc.), as long as it?s not used in such a manner the operator of the equipment is not violating the ?Distracted Driving Law? (Section 1225-d).

In other words, if you are just talking on your radio, you are not in violation of the law.

Please understand that the opinion carries the disclaimer that it is not binding upon prosecutors, law enforcement, or the judiciary.  You may still be stopped, issued a summons, and have to appear in court to plead your case.  However, the DMV opinion carries a lot of weight and should be used in preparing a defense should you receive a summons

I know some people will be mad at me for posting this here, but I feel very strongly about this cause. If you're offended, please just delete without comment. 

Hello to all my Ham Radio Club Friends:  the main reason I'm here in Albuquerque this week is to participate in the annual NAMI walkathon on this Saturday May 6, 2017 for the National Alliance on Mental Illness. 

There probably aren't too many of my friends who are aware that I grew up affected by someone with a serious mental illness. This organization works to help families and individuals who need help and hope. 

Please visit my donor page and, if you are so inclined, please donate to the cause via my Team PHS. I have set a modest fundraising goal of $500. Please help if you can...thank you!
