Board Creates Emergency Communications and Field Services Committee
At its just-concluded July 2021 meeting, the ARRL Board of Directors
approved By-Law changes creating a third Standing Committee that joins
the existing ministration and Finance Committee and Programs and
Services Committee. The charter of the new Emergency Communications and
Field Services Committee (EC-FSC) is to develop and recommend new or
modified Board policy and programs for emergency communications through
the Amateur Radio Emergency Service^A(R) (ARES^A(R)) and National
Traffic Systemƒ*› (NTSƒ*›) entities.
The committee also will offer enhanced support for its Field
Organization leadership volunteers, including Section Managers, and an
increased focus on ARRL-Affiliated Clubs.
Further, the EC-FSC will provide guidance to the CEO in translating
Board policy into prioritized tasking, funding, and staffing of
programs, services, and training in support of amateur radio emergency
communications, Field Organization volunteers, and recruitment and
retention of new and existing members through assistance to Affiliated
and Special Service Clubs.
The EC-FSC will have the additional responsibility of monitoring and
assessing trends in emergency communications technology and participant
skills worldwide, and for identifying "best practices" for voluntary
emergency communications provided by ARES and NTS, coordinating and
cooperating with other amateur radio national societies as appropriate.

Amateur Radio Responds to Flooding in Western Europe
International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) Region 1 Emergency
Communications Coordinator Greg Mossop, G0DUB, reported over the
weekend that amateur radio volunteers have responded in the wake of
widespread flooding in Germany, Belgium, and the

Netherlands. The flooding, resulting from unprecedented heavy rainfall,
has claimed more than 120 lives. Hundreds more remain unaccounted for.
The Dutch Amateur Radio Emergency Service (DARES) was on standby since
July 14, as the first reports of flooding came in. An initial attempt
to establish a point-to-point link from the provincial capital of
Maastricht to the north of Limburg province was halted due to heavy
traffic, as residents evacuated low-lying areas. DARES volunteers were
in contact with members of the Belgian Emergency Amateur Radio Service
(B-EARS) to coordinate their efforts.
The European Civil Protection Mechanism was activated, and emergency
groups across the region reported that their governments were sending
extra assistance and supplies to the areas where damage was worst. The
floodwater surge continued to make its way north, leading to further
evacuations, and amateur radio emergency groups focused on requests for
assistance. B-EARS was asked to provide a backup VHF link between the
emergency call center in Brussels and the province of Hainaut, while
DARES had four stations active in the Limburg area ready to respond if
needed.
Marc Lerchs, ON3IBZ, Information Director of the Walloon Brabant Crisis
Centre, told Crisis Response Journal that the police building in Wavre,
including its TETRA antenna and computers, was left

completely underwater. Some 30 ham radio volunteers deployed in the
region to support communication for fire and ambulance stations,
hospitals and emergency medical vehicles, the main command post in
Wavre, and 112 ("911") dispatch in Mons.
The greatest loss of life and damage has occurred in Germany, where
more than 1,000 residents remain unaccounted for. The loss of mobile
telecommunication networks has slowed the effort to locate people,
while many others are without power or homes. The emergency
communications unit of the Deutscher Amateur Radio Club (DARC) has been
handling inquiries for amateur radio support in the worst-hit areas,
but members in the area have been flood victims as well, losing
equipment or their homes.
"Amateur radio clubs have been in contact with relevant authorities,
but there is currently no need for operational support from radio
amateurs," the DARC reported. A mutual aid arrangement exists among
amateur radio organizations in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
Mossop said emergency communications groups in the affected and
surrounding regions are ready to respond to requests and have been
coordinating their efforts as needed.
"This emergency will last for some time as infrastructure is repaired
and the threat from damaged dams and more rainfall is reduced," Mossop
said.

ARRL 2020 Annual Report Now Available to Download
The ARRL 2020 Annual Report has been posted and is available to
download. The report summarizes ARRL program and fiscal activity for
the year.
In his introductory remarks, ARRL President Rick Roderick, K5UR, said
that 2020 was a difficult and challenging year for ARRL. "The
coronavirus pandemic changed everything, from the way we socialized, to
the way we worked, to the way students learned," Roderick wrote.
"Events we look forward to every year were canceled and the future
seemed uncertain. Hamfests, club meetings, and other gatherings looked
different, as videoconferencing became the new way to conduct business
and get together."
Roderick said ARRL remained determined to overcome any obstacles in
order to serve its members. "Due to the pandemic and state-imposed work
restrictions, ARRL Headquarters closed and employees suddenly had to
adjust to working remotely," he recounted. "ARRL staff banded together
and kept things running for our members. I'm proud of our staff for how
quickly they adapted and worked together as a team. They made the shift
to working from home as seamless as possible, and they continued to
develop new products and services." He went on to explain that these
new services "included things like the ARRL Learning Network webinars,
allowing members to expand their radio knowledge from home through
video seminars from industry experts, and the At Home virtual events
held by the Marketing department, providing ARRL staff with an
opportunity to engage with members and give video tours of W1AW through
a new online platform. They did a remarkable job!"
ARRL CEO David Minster, NA2AA, who came aboard in 2020, said he feels
ARRL's new ideation process is proving successful. "Stemming from an
authentic interest and need to become more inclusive as a community,
especially to newly licensed hams, our members have great ideas about
how ARRL could be doing things better," Minster said. "To expand upon
that culture of collaboration, we now have a web page and email address
where members can send their thoughts and well-formatted ideas about
changes to ARRL programs and services to the management team for
consideration. This process has enjoyed early success, and we look
forward to much greater interaction with members in the future."
Two major initiatives came to fruition -- in January with the
introduction of On the Air magazine, and in February with the
inauguration of the ARRL Volunteer Monitor Program. 2020 marked the
first time when both QEX and NCJ were available digitally.
The 56-page Annual Report recounts and summarizes the activities of all
ARRL departments and includes a complete 2020 fiscal report. ARRL ended
2020 with 158,494 members, which was ahead of its goal for the year.
FCC Investigating Alleged Jamming on 40 Meters
Reports suggest that jamming stations have been deployed on the lower
portion of 40 meters. The jamming appears to be coming from Cuba. The
signals, spaced at regular intervals, exhibit a squishy, popping noise.
The apparent jamming showed up after anti-government protesters took to
the streets in Cuba, followed by a government crackdown. So far,
there's no proven connection between the jamming and the protests, as
evidence has been circumstantial. DX spots suggest that Cuban hams are
on the air on SSB but do appear rare on 40 meters. A lot of Cuban spots
point to FT8 activity. The jamming issue has drawn the attention of the
FCC, which is looking into the matter, according to one tech
publication.
"Too many people around the world are fighting uphill battles to be
able to use technology to expand economic opportunity, express
themselves, and organize without fear of reprisal," an FCC spokesperson
told Motherboard. "The FCC is committed to supporting the free flow of
information and ensuring that the internet remains open for everyone.
We are assessing these reports in conjunction with our field agents and
communicating with the Department of State as this issue develops."
Josh Nass, KI6NAZ, of the YouTube channel, Ham Radio Crash Course
(HRCC), is calling the interference "The Cuban Rum Runner," an oblique
reference to the "Russian Woodpecker" of yesteryear.
Outside of ham radio, the ability to connect with some social media
sites and even with the internet inside Cuba has been reportedly
tricky. Connecting to the FederaciA^3n de Radioaficionados de Cuba
(FRC) website (Cuba's IARU member-society) from outside of Cuba has
been unreliable. This week, users attempting to do so -- at least those
in the US -- got a shrugging cartoon character and the legend, "Acceso
Denagado" -- access denied. The FRC Facebook page is accessible, but
links to the FRC website are blocked. FRC had warned of "possible
outages" more than a week ago, attributing the problem to maintenance
being done in the data center where FRC is housed.
Well-known amateur radio contester and DXer Fred Laun, K3ZO, pointed
out in a July 17 post to the Potomac Valley Radio Club reflector that
typical ham radio contacts with Cuba "are not normally about politics,
though I suppose in the wake of recent events they may have become so."
International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) Region 2 (the Americas)
President RamA^3n Santoyo, XE1KK, said no complaints had been received
by July 20.
ARRL Learning Network Webinars

Learning with High-Altitude Balloons -- Jack McElroy, KM4ZIA, and
Audrey McElroy, KM4BUN / Thursday, July 22, 2021 @ 3:30 PM EDT (1930
UTC)
Jack McElroy, KM4ZIA, and Audrey McElroy, KM4BUN, discuss their
experiences with high-altitude balloons and explain how others can
launch them successfully. The discussion will also focus on using
high-altitude balloons to engage youth in ham radio and create learning
experiences for students.
Introduction to DMR and Digital Voice -- Tim Deagan, K8UJ / Thursday,
September 9, 2021 @ 3:30 PM EDT (1930 UTC)
An introductory overview of digital voice (DV) technologies for ham
radio. This presentation will focus on DMR with notes on System Fusion,
D-STAR, and more. There will be a description of DV architecture and
components, and the interesting opportunities, as well as challenges,
that DV presents.
ARRL members may register for upcoming presentations and view
previously recorded Learning Network webinars. ARRL-affiliated radio
clubs may also use the recordings as presentations for club meetings,
mentoring new and current hams, and discussing amateur radio topics.
The ARRL Learning Network schedule is subject to change.
ARRL Announces Leadership Changes in the Central Division
ARRL Central Division Director Kermit Carlson, W9XA, has stepped down
as Central Division Director, making the announcement at the July 2021
Board of Directors meeting this past weekend. Vice Director Carl
Luetzelschwab, K9LA, has acceded to the Director's chair, and
Brent Walls, N9BA, during a
visit to W1AW.
ARRL President Rick Roderick, K5UR, has appointed Brent Walls, N9BA, to
succeed Luetzelschwab as the Central Division Vice Director.
An ARRL Life Member, Walls served as Indiana Section Manager from 2016
until 2018. Active in ARES, he is a former ARRL Indiana Section
Emergency Coordinator and also served as Marion County, Indiana,
Emergency Coordinator. He is an ARRL VEC Volunteer Examiner.
Carlson served both as Vice Director and then Director of the Central
Division for a total of 12 years. He said his resignation stemmed from
"an intractable conflict" between Board and family obligations that
would impinge upon his travel on behalf of ARRL. "It would be
impossible to maintain the level of in-person engagement with the
Members that I believe is essential," Carlson said.
Carlson said his "most challenging and rewarding experiences" include
11 years as Chair of the Electromagnetic Compatibility Committee (EMC)
and his recently concluded term as the chair of the ARRL CEO Search
Committee. He will continue to chair the EMC.
Massachusetts Court Okays Amateur Radio Tower, Citing Board of Appeals'
Error
A judge in the Massachusetts Land Court has ruled that the Zoning Board
of Appeals in the City of Framingham "erred" in revoking a building
permit for an 80-foot ham radio tower as an accessory use. The Building
Commissioner in Framingham had granted ARRL member Mikhail "Misha"
Filippov, KD1MF, a building permit for the tower, and Filippov had
begun pouring concrete for the tower footings. Neighbors complained,
however, and the Zoning Board of Appeals revoked the permit, citing the
setback requirements of the city's wireless communications facilities
(WCF) special permit bylaw. Land Court Judge Howard Speicher reversed
the Zoning Board of Appeals' decision and ordered the town building
commissioner to reinstate the permit.
"The City of Framingham has provided, for the benefit of amateur radio
operators, exemptions from its zoning requirements from the
construction of radio antenna towers for amateur radio operators," the
court noted. This case was not settled on the basis of PRB-1
considerations, but strictly on which setback requirements should
apply. PRB-1 requires local governments to reasonably accommodate
amateur radio installations.
The Zoning Board of Appeals had argued that Filippov's project plans
failed to meet setback zoning requirements, but the Land Court
determined that the board could not enforce this, because of an
exception that exempts structures, including amateur radio towers, from
these requirements as long as a building permit is issued.
The court ruled the Zoning Board of Appeals "erred in overturning the
decision of the Building Commissioner to issue a building permit for
the erection of the proposed radio antenna tower." Read an expanded
version.

Announcements
* The Yasme Foundation Board of Directors has announced an additional
grant to the Maranyundo Girls School in Rwanda and its Makerspace
program. This grant provides access to material from ARRL's
Teachers Institute and funds to purchase material and supplies for
classroom experiments. In June, the Yasme Foundation supplied the
school with amateur radio-related books for classroom use.
* The third annual World Wide Digi DX Contest is set for August 28 -
29. See the website for details. -- Thanks to Ed Muns, W0YK
* The Wireless Institute of Australia (WIA) Board of Directors has
announced the appointments of Scott Williams, VK3KJ, as WIA's new
President, and Lee Moyle, VK3GK, continuing as Vice President. The
Board thanked outgoing President Greg Kelly, VK2GPK, for his
commitment and contributions to the WIA; he will continue to serve
as a WIA board member.
* A group of US radio amateurs has fielded special event operation
W4C "to raise awareness about the current humanitarian crisis
affecting the island of Cuba. Instead of taking to the streets, we
realized that our efforts will be more efficiently utilized by
getting on the air and making a special event out of it." W4C will
be on the air until the end of July.
* The World Wide Radio Operators Foundation (WWROF) has amended the
Cabrillo file standard to include a new "YOUTH" CATEGORY-OVERLAY,
at the request of several contest sponsors who want to encourage
and recognize youth participation. The Cabrillo v3 header
specification has been updated to reflect this change. Details are
on the WWROF website.
* After months of negotiations with the new Coral Island Management
Authority, the HARAOA VK9HR DXpedition to Willis Island planned for
this November has been canceled, says Ed Durrant, VK2JI, Publicity
Officer. The problem was a combination of new rules banning the
installation of any structures on the islands by the new authority
and the fact that COVID-19 has now spread to four Australian
states.

In Brief...
AMSAT-NA has issued its first call for papers for the 39th Annual AMSAT
Space Symposium. The event is set for October 29 - 31, 2021, at the
Crowne Plaza AiRE hotel in Bloomington, Minnesota. Proposals for
symposium presentations are invited on any topic of interest to the
amateur satellite community. A tentative presentation title is
requested, with final copy submitted by October 18 for inclusion in the
symposium Proceedings. Send abstracts and papers to Dan Schultz, N8FGV.
Over-the-horizon radars are operating with impunity in ham radio
allocations. In its June newsletter, the International Amateur Radio
Union (IARU) Region 1 Monitoring System (IARUMS) said over-the-horizon
radars (OTHRs) have not yielded their dominance as ham band intruders.
"The number of observations varies slightly but is always within a
similar range," the newsletter said. "The same is true for other radio
systems (such as CIS-12, etc). With summer propagation (including
sporadic E), numerous driftnet radio buoys and other fishing gear were
again being heard on 10 meters, illegally serving to mark fishing nets
at sea, the newsletter said. These typically operate in the 28.000 -
28.450 MHz segment. Transmissions are short but frequent throughout the
day. These often identify in CW, transmitting from one to three
letters, although buoys with a constant carrier are also observed. GPS
buoys transmit short bursts in FSK (F1B) with their positions
scrambled. Monitors regularly encounter "pirates" operating without any
identifier.
Many stations will take to the airwaves August 2 - 15 to celebrate the
4th anniversary of FT8. All stations will use call signs with "FTDMC"
or "FTDM" in the suffix. The activity also celebrates the 2nd
anniversary of the FT8 Digital Mode Club. Logs will be uploaded to LoTW
and eQSL. QSL cards will be available. Stations planning to participate
include: 4J8FTDM, OZ8FTDMC, RO3FTDM, 9K8FTDMC, A60FTDMC, DQ8FTDMC,
GB0DMC, HZ8FTDMC, and many others. A certificate will be available with
bronze, silver, gold, and platinum levels for working them. -- Thanks

AO-109 (RadFxSat-2/AMSAT Fox-1E) is now open for amateur use. AMSAT's
Engineering and Operations Teams advise operators to use efficient
modes for making contacts, such as CW or FT4, because issues with the
satellite make SSB voice contacts "challenging at best." An article in
the May/June 2021 issue (Vol. 44, No. 3) of The AMSAT Journal details
the various attempts to characterize AO-109 and its apparent problems.

DX Engineering has acquired Top Ten Devices. The new owner will
manufacture and distribute three of Top Ten Devices' signature products
under the Top Ten Devices brand -- the A/B Station Selector, the Op
Swapper, and the Band Aide Band Decoder. Formed by Dave Hawes, N3RD,
and George Cutsogeorge, W2VJN, in 1991, Top Ten Devices built a strong
reputation for producing high-performance and affordable equipment for
the amateur radio community. "DX Engineering is excited for the
opportunity to carry on the legacy that the innovators at Top Ten
Devices have built over the past 3 decades," said DX Engineering CEO
Tim Duffy, K3LR.

The K7RA Solar Update
Tad Cook, K7RA, Seattle, reports: It is exciting to observe increasing
sunspot activity. Recently, Solar Cycle 25 has produced new sunspots
frequently, and I watch them pop up every day on Spaceweather.com. New
sunspots appeared on July 14, 16, 17, 19, and 20, and two new ones
appeared on July 21.
Average daily sunspot numbers more than doubled from 21.3 last week to
48.9 during the July 15 - 21 reporting week. Average daily solar flux
jumped from 72.9 to 81.3.
Geomagnetic numbers held steady, with both the middle latitude and
planetary A index averages at 6.4.
Predicted solar flux is 94 and 92 on July 22 - 23; 90 on July 24 -
August 1; 85 on August 2; 75 on August 3 - 12; 78, 80, and 80 on August
13 - 15; and 85 on August 16 - 21. Flux values may rise to 90 or more
during the last week of August.
Predicted planetary A index is 8, 18, 16, and 8 on July 22 - 25; 5 on
July 26 - 27; 8 on July 28; 5 on July 29 - August 1; ?? August 2; 5 on
August 3 - 9; 12 and 10 on August 10 - 11; 5 on August 12 - 16; 8 on
August 17 - 18, and 5 on August 19 - 28.
Sunspot numbers for July 15 - 21 were 22, 35, 53, 42, 45, 59, and 86,
with a mean of 48.9. The 10.7-centimeter flux was 73.5, 75, 77.4, 80.4,
82.6, 87, and 93.5, with a mean of 81.3.. Estimated planetary A indices
were 10, 4, 4, 4, 7, 10, and 6, with a mean of 6.4. Middle latitude A
index was 12, 5, 4, 5, 4, 9, and 6, with a mean of 6.4.
A comprehensive K7RA Solar Update is posted Fridays on the ARRL
website. For more information concerning radio propagation, visit the
ARRL Technical Information Service, read "What the Numbers Mean...,"
