=================================================================
Amateur Radio NewslineT Report 1537 - January 26th, 2007
Amateur Radio Newsline report number 1536 with a release date of
Friday, January 26th, 2007 to follow in 5-4-3-2-1.
The following is a Q-S-T. A big change in Morse in the U-S-A, a bill
to force the FCC to properly watch over B-P-L and hams in space chat
with a famous TV personality. Who was it? Find out the details on
Amateur Radio NewslineT report number 1537 coming your way right now.

RADIO RULES: THE END OF MORSE TESTING IS NEAR
Morse testing in the United States should end soon. How soon you ask?
Amateur Radio Newsline's David Black, KB4KCH, has the latest on this
major change coming to the hobby:
--
Morse testing to obtain or upgrade an Amateur Radio license in the
United States will end on Friday, February 23rd. This, following a 30
day "take effect period" after the January 24th publication in the
Federal Register of the Report and Order on F-C-C rule-making W T
Docket 05-235. And on February 23rd, Morse testing will be a part of
ham radio history.
According to an earlier bulletin released by the American Radio relay
League, the FCC maintains that this change will eliminate an
unnecessary regulatory burden. One that the FCC says may discourage
current Amateur Radio operators from advancing their skills and
participating more fully in the benefits of Amateur Radio.
The new rules mean that all Technician licensees, whether or not
they've passed a Morse code examination, will gain some High Frequency
operating privileges
identical to those of current Novice, Tech Plus or Technician with
Element 1 Morse credit licensees. This, without having to apply for an
upgrade. Novices and Technicians with Element 1 credit already have
Morse privileges in segments of the 80, 40, 15 meter bands. They also
have Morse, R-T-T-Y, data and SSB privileges on a portion of 10
meters.
And one final word. Do not operate under the newly changed licensing
rules until after their effective date. If you do and wind up getting
caught, there's a good chance you will wind up with a most unwelcome
letter asking you why you went on early. And that letter will be
coming from the FCC.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm David Black, KB4KCH,at the South-
East bureau in Birmingham, Alabama.

Deletion of the Morse requirement is a landmark in United States
Amateur Radio history. Until 1991, when a code examination was dropped
from the requirements to obtain a Technician ticket, all prospective
radio all applicants for an amateur license had to pass a Morse
proficiency exam. (ARRL, ARNewslineT, others)

HAM RADIO IN SPACE: PEHUENSAT - 1 ON THE AIR
The Pehuensat One ham radio satellite is on the air. Reports are
coming in from all over the world of the reception of signals from this
latest ham radio bird and so far all are good.
The satellite was launched on the 10th January from the Satish Dhawan
Space Centre in India. It transmits on 145.825 MHz FM voice in
English, Spanish and Hindi followed by AX25 1200 bps packet.
To have a quick glance at next passes in your location and time, visit
www.amsat.org.ar. Then click on the revolving globe, then on your
location, then on Pehuensat. We will have more ham radio space related
news later on in this weeks report. (Via Press Release)

THE BPL WAR: WD5DVR INTRODUCES BPL CONTROL BILL TO CONGRESS
A bill now making its way through the United States Congress could
force the FCC to determine once and for all whether radio amateurs have
the right to protection from interference caused by Broadband over
Powerline technology. Amateur Radio Newsline's Bruce Tennant, K6PZW,
is here with the details:
--
The measure is known in the House of Representatives as HR 462. It was
introduced on January 12 by Representative Mike Ross, WD5DVR, as part
of the Emergency Amateur Radio Interference Protection Act for 2007.
The bill gets right into the middle of a high-stakes battle between
power utilities heavily invested in BPL and the American Radio Relay
League which views as its prime objective to protect the ham radio
bands from any form of man made interference,
If passed and signed into law, the measure would require the FCC to do
a comprehensive study within 90 days after the date of its enactment.
It would also require that the FCC produce a new set of improved rules
governing BPL service transmission while at the same time calling on
the agency to come up with a safe distance of separation that will
guarantee no interference from BPL emissions.
And there is one real zinger that the B-P-L is likely to crusade
against. HR 462 would also force the FCC also would have to
investigate the degree of notching necessary to protect the reliability
of mobile radio communications and provide a technical justification
for permitted BPL radiated emission levels relative to ambient noise
levels. In other words it would not just be home station operations
that would be safeguarded from interference caused by B-P-L. Mobile
operations would be protected as well.
The ARRL has conducted field tests in areas where BPL systems have been
deployed as well as experiments to assess the emissions leakage level.
As a result of these tests and of member complaints, the League has
been outspoken in its criticism of two deployments in particular.
These are a commercial installation in Manassas, Virginia, and a test
placement in Briarcliff Manor, New York. As previously reported, the
League says tests conducted at both sites by its members have detected
B-P-L generated interference at distances of hundreds of feet from
overhead transmission lines and making communications impossible on the
H-F bands in both of these areas.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bruce Tennant, K6PZW, inn Los
Angeles.

HR 462 has been sent to the House Committee of Energy and Commerce for
study. (ARRL, InformationTechnology News, redherring.com, others)

THE BPL WAR: THE BATTLE CONTINUES DOWN-UNDER
Meantime, down-under, Australian telecommunications A-C-M-A has
undertaken another round of B-P-L interference measurements following
ongoing complaints from a radio amateur. On Thursday January 11th, A-
C-M-A field engineers visited the home of Conrad Kley, VK7HCK in the
town of Sands Bay in response of complaints of interference he is
suffering from the broadband system operated by Aurora Energy. Justin
Giles-Clark, VK7TW, was there during the tests and has this report:
--
Measurements were taken using a flat-response loop antenna and also
using Conrad's quad and vertical antennas so a comparison could be made
between the calibrated professional antenna and tuned amateur antennas.
There was definite correlation between what Conrad was reporting using
the "S" signal strength scale and what was measured using the test
equipment on the same antenna.
ACMA took notch profile measurements which showed up to a 20dB notch
depth however this still resulted in about an S3-4 signal level being
experienced by Conrad within a notch.
As some background, Conrad put in a complaint of unacceptable levels of
interference from BPL emissions in November 2005 and then again in
September 2006, and these have been the subject of ongoing
investigation by ACMA. ACMA staff undertook initial measurements at Mt
Nelson in November 2005, June and July 2006. ACMA even detected
emissions at the Quoin Ridge ITU monitoring station which is 20km away
back in November 2005, however that is no longer the case possibly due
to the utilization of wireless technology for the BPL back-haul
network.
Following Conrad's complaint of September 2006, ACMA compiled their
measurement results into a report which was released at the end of
November 2006 and reported signal levels ranging from 34.1 to 64dBuV/m
across the HF amateur bands.
This ACMA report substantiates the claims made by Conrad that the
Aurora Energy BPL system is causing interference and greatly reducing
his ability to operate licensed amateur radio equipment.
I'm Justin VK7TW
--
VK7HCK has requested that the ACMA order Aurora Energy to make further
reductions in emission levels including the widening of notching in
various bands and notching of the 10m band.

A SIGN OF THE TIMES: WSWSS TO DISBAND
And a sad sign of the times. This with word that the Western States
Weak Signal Society will cease to exist as of February 1st. Jeff
Reinhardt, AA6JR, has more:
--
Word of the demise of the Western States Weak Signal Society comes in
the re-posting to the VHF Reflector of a note received by Jim Foster,
NN7K, from the society's treasurer Paul Hammer, KA6CHJ. In it, Hammer
says that he is the only functioning officer remaining. He says that
requests for members to fill the other vacant positions did not yield
enough volunteers.
According to the post, membership dues will begin being refunded with
payments received in December 2006 and working backward. Any remaining
funds will be donated to the ARRL Spectrum Defense Fund. Remaining
office supplies will go to the local Salvation Army.
The Western States Weak Signal Society certificate program will also
cease. Hammer says that all remaining awards to be distributed to
those waiting by mid-February.

RESCUE RADIO: HAMS IN VK CONTINUE WILDFIRES EM-COMMS
Wildfires continue in Australia's Victoria state and V-K hams
affiliated with WICEN are on alert. WICEN is Australia's equivalent of
A-R-E-S in the United States. Jim Linton, VK3PC, of the W-I-A News has
the latest:
--
For 50 days fires have raged in Victoria burning out more than a
million hectares with the loss of homes, property, livestock and
wildlife. Responding agencies are stretched to the limit. They have
needed to import fire-fighters from New Zealand, Canada and the United
States.
In the midst of it all are WICEN operators assisting with
communications systems for the Department of Sustainability and
Environment - DSE. WICEN Victoria State Coordinator, John Kerr VK3BAF
advises that operators were first stationed at Swifts Creek.
The activation, after a short while, was escalated with WICEN operators
also deployed at Benalla and Mansfield. Rain that fell on Thursday
eased the situation somewhat - but there's more of summer ahead.
The previous occasion on which WICEN Victoria provided assistance to
DSE was in the 2002-03 Bogong bushfires in the state's north-east.
WICEN Victoria provided refresher training courses for its members in
December on the operations of the DSE trunked radio system. Excellent
forward planning indeed!
Earlier the Red Cross communications arm RECOM with radio amateurs as
volunteers provided communications in December at the bushfire relief
center that was set up at Bairnsdale in Gippsland.
And also in mid-December, WICEN had 15 operators activated in Tasmania
when fire swept along that's state's east-coast causing extensive
damage. With no end in sight to the fire situation as Australia
remains in grips of its worst drought for century, we're certain to see
more involvement of radio amateurs as they uphold the long tradition of
providing emergency communications in times of natural disasters.
I'm Jim Linton VK3PC for the Amateur Radio Newsline.
--
Bushfires are common in Australia's summer, but officials say the
situation is even worse than normal this year. Many of the fires this
year were caused by lightning, while others were believed to have been
started deliberately. (WIA News)

ENFORCEMENT: PART 15 INTERFERENCE TO CELL SITE
The New York District FCC Office, Northeast Region, has issued a
Citation to a Dave Yogesh of Wayne, New Jersey. This, for operating
what the FCC calls Part 15 amplifier on the roof of his residence that
caused interference to a Sprint cellular telephone site.
According to the CGC Communicator, the problem sounds like a self-
oscillating UHF-TV antenna preamplifier, but the Citation did not fully
describe the device causing the problem. (CGC)

RADIO HISTORY: WOR AM TOWERS TAKEN DOWN IN NJ
Three giant radio towers that used to radiate the signal of New York
City radio station W-O-R A-M have been demolished. The towers that
have been a fixture alongside the New Jersey Turnpike in the city of
Lyndhurst came crumbling down Thursday morning, January 11th.
The 700 foot tall towers were owned by W-O-R and have been a landmark
on the turnpike for more than 40 years. Each was safely felled by a
demolition crew which simply loosened one guy wire on each tower to
permit it to fall in the direction it was being tugged by the other
two.
Lyndhurst police finally approved the demolition after halting it last
September. At that time, the city cited safety concerns and the
possibility some people might confuse the demolition with a terrorist
attack.
The towers and associated transmitting house have been unused for the
past several years following a move by W-O-R A-M to a new transmitting
site a half-mile to the north in the town of Rutherford. (Southgate)

NAMES IN THE NEWS: AN ALL HAM FAMILY
A word of congratulations to 10 year old Ricky Martinez, KD8EYO, of
Stockbridge, Michigan. Rickey, who is only age 10 recently got his
license after passing the Technician class exam at a recent test
session held by the Livingston Amateur Radio Klub. That's Klub with a
"K."
What makes Ricky so unique is that he is the youngest person in the
history of the Livingston Klub to earn an Amateur Radio Operators
license through the groups program.
Dick Renaud, W8KDR, w is the Vice President of the Livingston Amateur
Radio Klub. He says that Ricky has wasted no time in getting involved
in the hobby. He says that KD8EYO has already participated in the
National Weather Service SKYWARN Spotter training program. Renaud
believes that KD8EYO and will no doubt become part of the county's
Amateur Radio emergency communications support team as he continues in
his pursuit of his Amateur Radio adventure.
It should be noted that Ricky Martinez is no stranger to ham radio.
His dad is Rick Martinez, W8RCM, and his mother is Katy, KD8EFS. Katy
Martinez earned her ham ticket only two months ago making the Martinez
household an all ham radio family. (W8KDR, others)

HAM RADIO IN SPACE: HAMS IN SPACE CHAT WITH MARTHA STEWART
Homemaking expert and television personality Martha Stewart, chatted
with the International Space Station Expedition 14 crew of Monday,
January 22nd. During the interview Stewart asked the Expedition crew
members about their experiments on station, the view of Earth from
their vantage point, and life in their orbital home away from home.
Expedition 14 Flight Engineer Sunita Williams, KD5PLB, was one of those
providing answers from Earth orbit. She showed off her green thumb
with a sample of bean sprouts she had been growing as part of a
horticulture experiment for long-term living in space.
After giving a glimpse of their personalized sleeping areas, Williams
and Commander Michael Lopez-Alegria, KE5GTK, told Stewart they were
open to any home decorating or cooking tips for their home in space.
The event started at 11:40 a.m. EST and was shown on NASA TV. The
conversation was taped for replay on Stewarts' TV show. (Southgate)

HAM RADIO IN SPACE: AO-27 RETURNS TO THE AIR
Some good news for satellite users. As of January 14th, AMSAT OSCAR 27
is back in operation. This, thanks to the dedicated work of the
satellites Command Team.
Michael Wyrick, N3UC, reports that after working on several problems
with the A-F-S-K modem on board AO-27, the controllers were able to
upload the flight n code. As a result, AO-27 is now running the E-O-S
software and sending good back telemetry and the analog repeater has
been turned back on.
The Command Team asks that all users keep in mind that AO-27 is 13
years old and that it takes some work to keep it going. More

WORLDBEAT: VK EMBARGORES SPECTRUM FOR DRM
The Australian Communications and Media Authority has placed an embargo
on frequencies and bands potentially suitable for use by digital
broadcasting services using Digital Radio Mondiale. These bands are
outside the spectrum used by traditional broadcasting services.
The frequencies involved are 5.950 to 6200, 7.100 to 73.00, 9.500 to
9900, 11.650 to 12.050, 13.600 to 13.800, 15.100 to 15.600, 17.550 to
17.900, 21.450 to 21.850 and 25.670 to 2.6100 MHz. The A-C-M--A will
consider applications for the licensing of trials to investigate the
use of these bands for Digital Radio Mondiale operations. (WIA NEWS)

WORLDBEAT - DENMARK: PIRATE CONTINUES IN COPENHAGEN
Talk about breaking the law with at least tacit government approval.
This is really the crux of a pirate radio station in Copenhagen that's
been on the continuously for over a month with no action by Denmark's
telecommunications regulatory body to shut it down.
Since Thursday 14 December, the station has been on the air on 101.8
MHz from an area of Copenhagen known as Ungdomshuset. Translated to
English, Ungdomshuset literally means "the Youth House" and it's a
well known rendezvous for various left-wing political and social
initiatives, concerts and festivals. It is permanently occupied by
activists, and has become a de facto "no go area" for the police.
Consequently, the station has not been raided by the authorities.

THAT FINAL ITEM: RADIO MAY BE THE KEY TO FINDING ET
And finally this week, yet another search for an E-T using radio.
That's E-T as in am extraterrestrial civilization or two. Jeramy Boot,
G4NJH, of the GB2RS News Service helps us to seek out new worlds and
news civilizations and to boldly go where no ham has gone before:
--
Astronomers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in the
US have unveiled a new initiative aimed at detecting extraterrestrial
life. The project, due to kick off in early 2008, will use a new radio
telescope to search other planets for radio transmissions similar to
those that are generated on Earth.
At present, most attempts to find alien life look for radio signal that
are deliberately beamed across space, but the new initiative by the
Harvard-Smithsonian Center is different in that it will look for the
residue of radio
transmissions sent from one place in a planet to another. It will
search the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is used on Earth
for radar, television and FM radio broadcasts.
David Aguilar, director of communications at the Center for
Astrophysics, said: "We may pick up spurious signals from people that
never meant for us to hear them and get an inkling that something's
going on."
I'm Jeramy Boot, G4NJH in Nottingham, and you are listening to the
Amateur Radio Newsline.
--
A new low-frequency radio telescope is currently been built in the
Australian outback to detect these weak signals. That area was chosen
because it is remote enough to avoid most radio interference. The
researchers behind the project believe that they will be able to detect
Earth-like radio signals within a distance of 30 light years. There are
more than 1,000 stars within this area. (GB2RS)
