RESTRUCTURING: UK HAMS TO LOOSE PARTS OF THE 2.3 AND 3.4 GHZ BANGS
Hams in the UK will soon lose parts of two important super high frequency
bands. This after that nation's telecommunications regulator Ofcom
publishes a statement on the future of amateur radio use of spectrum in
the 2.3 GHz and 3.4 GHz bands. Jeremy Boot, G-4-N-J-H,, has the rest of
the story: the Riverside California police department gets schooled on ham
radio versus distracted driving;
--
In the United Kingdom, a Consultation is about the equivalent to a Notice
of Proposed Rule Making in the United States. Following a consultation
last year, Ofcom has decided to remove from the Amateur Radio License all
frequencies in these bands which overlap with those planned for
reallocation of 2350 to 2390 and 3410 to 3475 MHz. In doing so the
regulatory agency is giving amateur operators at least twelve months'
notice of this intention.
For the moment, Ofcom has decided to retain amateur access to the adjacent
bands. But the caveat is that the regulatory authority has also put in
place a procedure to enable these frequencies to be removed from the
Amateur Radio License if necessary in future.
In addition, Ofcom has been required by the Ministry of Defense to
implement measures to ensure its systems are adequately protected from
interference from amateur uses in both the released spectrum and in
adjacent bands. Its statement contains guidance from Ofcom with which
amateur users must comply, with immediate effect, when using these
frequencies.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Jeramy Boot, G4NJH, in Nottingham in
the U.K..
--
Amateur Radio users of the 2310 to 2350 MHz band have been requested to
register their use and provide contact details to Ofcom. Details are at
tinyurl.com/UK-2GHz-change (Ofcom, Southgate)
**
RADIO USE: UK HAMS ASKED TO BE CAREFULL IN USING 5 MHZ
Still in the UK, telecommunications regulator Ofcom has indicated that
during the coming days there may be temporary increased usage of the 5 MHz
band by a primary user. As such, hams in that nation have been advised to
take particular care to ensure that frequencies are not in use before
calling CQ. In the UK as elsewhere, use of the 5 MHz band by ham radio is
on a secondary, non-interfering basis to all other users. (RSGB)

RESCUE RADIO: HAM DEVELOPED SOFTWARE AIDING IN SEARCH FOR MH-370
The ARRL reports that amateur radio developed software is assisting in
search for the missing Malaysia Air Flight MH370. US Navy personnel
involved in the search are using the signal processing and analysis
package called Spectrum Laboratory developed by Wolf Buescher, DL4YHF, to
analyze the recently detected 37.5 kHz pings that may be coming from the
plane's black box voice and data recorders. Very Low Frequency
experimenter Warren Ziegler, K2ORS, told the ARRL that this is the same
software package recently used by ham radio experimenters to detect
transatlantic signals on 29 kHz. A detailed story about how this software
is being used in the hunt for the missing Boeing 777 aircraft is at
tinyurl.com/aircraft-search-continues

RESCUE RADIO: ARTICLE SUGGESTS MORE USE OF EMCOMM HAMS
"Most Local and County Emergency Management Plans Ignore Amateur Radio" is
the title of an article in the April 6th edition of the Ground Report
issued by Creative Commons. The article by Robert Tilford seeks an answer
as to why more municipalities and other agencies are not including ham
radio as a resource in planning for events such as natural disasters and
even terrorist attacks. He notes the ability of amateur radio operators
to communicate from these disasters enabling them to serve as an extremely
valuable and vital communications tool for dissemination of critical
information when other more traditional means fail. In all it's a very
positive look at our hobby and is on the web at
tinyurl.com/use-more-emcomm-hams. (Ground Report)

RADIO LAW: RIVERSIDE POLICE GET SCHOOLED ON HAM RADIO VS DISTRACTED
DRIVING
Due to the actions of Clint Bradford K6LCS, Riverside California Police
Department will be reviewing the states Distracted Driving rule known as
Vehicle Code section 23123 with all field officers. This, to explain how
mobile amateur radio communications with an attached handheld microphone
are not targets of this law.
According to Bradford, it all began when he wound up in what he describes
as a discussion with a motorcycle officer on the morning of April 8th.
The officer asked Bradford he was doing. K6LCS explained to him that he
was talking on an amateur radio. At that point the officer warned him
that he better not as he was risking getting an expensive ticket.
Instead of continuing the conversation Bradford spoke directly with both
Riverside Police Department's Watch Commander and its Traffic Supervisor.
In turn, the Traffic Supervisor promised to discuss this matter with all
officers at roll call on what the intent of the states distracted driving
law is.
Bradford noted that he and the Riverside Police were both on the same
wavelength when it came to what amateur radio was all about. Also that
operating a mobile amateur radio station with an attached microphone is
not a violation of the California Vehicle Code. (K6LCS)

DX UP FRONT: SEVERE WEATHER CLOSES DOWN VK9MT MELLISH REEF OPERATION
EARLY
In DX up front, the long awaited VK9MT Mellish Reef DXpedition was forced
to go QRT on April 4th due to the lack of cooperation by Mother Nature.
The team was planning to operate from Mellish Reef until April 9th. But
an update sent out by Gene Spinelli, K5GS, on April 5th said that due to
the ever worsening weather associated with an impending tropical storm,
that they had decided in the interest of safety to end the operation
early.
The time spent on Mellish Reef had been rough for the VK9MT team. Storms
hampered their operation and they were on the verge of leaving at any
time. The weather was described as being extremely windy, with occasional
heavy rain causing the antennas to take a severe beating. The operating
tents were shaking and very noisy making it difficult for the operators to
discern callsigns of those trying to make contact.
According to Spinelli, the last night on the island was extremely
difficult. With continued heavy rain and wind, radio operations were
nearly impossible. While the team is disappointed, it would like to
acknowledge the generosity of the clubs, foundations, individual donors as
well as its corporate sponsors. (Team Mellish Reef 2014, OPDX)

DX UP FRONT: 7P8YY FROM LESOTHO APRIL 22 TO MAY 1
K5YY has told the Ohio Penn DX Newsletter that he will be operating as
7P8YY from Roma, Lesotho, between April 22nd and about May 1st. He plans
to concentrate on the upper High Frequency bands, especially on 15 and 10
meters with a goal of working DXers who might need 7P8 for a new country
or band for their DXCC award. He adds that he will be joined by 4 to 5
other hams for what he terms as a fun and vacation style operation, and
all operators will be using their own 7P8 prefix callsigns. QSLs for
7P8YY go direct only to K5YY. He will not be using the bureau not any
electronic QSL service. (OPDX)

DX UP FRONT: REPUBLIC OF NAURU SEPTEMBER 29 TO OCTOBER 19
LZ1GC is planning to be operational as C21GC from the Republic of Nauru
between September 29th and October 19th. Activity will be on 160
through10 meters using CW, SSB and some RTTY. Logs will be uploaded to
ClubLog during his operation if at all possible. The QSL route for this
operation has not yet been announced. And we will have more DX news for
you in this weeks report. (Facebook)

ENFORCEMENT: THE FCC PROPOSED A TOTAL OF $40,000 IN FINES FOR APPARENT
UNLICENSED STATION OPERATIONS IN SOUTH FLORIDA
A pair of unlicensed broadcasters in the Sunshine State have been dinged
with some heavy proposed fines. Amateur Radio Newsline's Hal Rogers,
K8CMD, has the details:
--
The FCC has issued a $15,000 Notice of Liability to Jean Richard Salvador
for allegedly operating an unlicensed radio station in the Miami area.
This after FCC agents responded to complaints about an illegal station
operating on 89.5 MHz.
Using direction finding they traced the signal and a coaxial cable coming
off the roof antenna to Jean Richard Salvador's apartment. Upon making a
station inspection, they found that the cable was connected to homebrew FM
transmitter and other equipment. The agency proposed a $15,000 fine
against Salvador because agents had previously warned him about illegal
station operation.
In another south Florida case, the FCC says that Damian Anthony Ojouku
Allen is a repeat offender which is the reason that it proposed a $25,000
penalty. This, for apparently operating a station on 101.1 MHz in Ft.
Lauderdale.
According to the commission it had warned Allen several times that
unlicensed operations are illegal and had previously fined him $20,000 for
operating such a station on the same frequency in the city of Pompano
Beach. In issuing the latest proposed fine, the FCC noted that the fact
that Damian Allen would commit the same violation on the same frequency
demonstrates a deliberate disregard for the agency's authority.
I'm Hal Rogers, K8CMD.

Both Salvador and Allen were given the customary 30 days from the date the
notices were issued to pay their respective fines or file appeals. (FCC,

ENFORCEMENT: CELLPHONE JAMMER BRINGS TEXAS FIRM $29,250 NAL
Houston, Texas-based R&M Manufacturing has been issued a $29,250 Notice of
Apparent Liability for its alleged use of a cellular telephone phone
jamming device. This, to keep employees at its plant from placing
wireless calls at work.
The FCC's Houston office first learned of the interference in a March 29,
2013 complaint from AT&T alleging that a signal was interfering with its
licensed cellular communications. On March 29th and April 1st, 2013 using
direction finding the agents assigned to the case located the source of
the strong wideband signals in the cellular and P-C-S bands were coming
from R&M's manufacturing facility.
In its decision to issue the $29,250 proposed fine the FCC noted that R&M
admitted that it operated a jamming device for about 10 days, starting on
or around March 23, 2013, with the intended effect of blocking and
otherwise interfering with FCC authorized radio communications. The FCC
says that the operation of the jamming device could have had disastrous
consequences by precluding the use of cellular phones to reach life saving
9-1-1 services provided by police, ambulance, and fire departments. It
could also have disrupted critical communications of first responders who
might have visited R&M's facility or nearby locations in a life and death
situation.
As is customary in these cases, R&M was given the customary 30 days to pay
the fine or to file an appeal. (FCC)

RESCUE RADIO: MISSOURI REPEATER GROUP SEEKS DONATIONS TO UPGRADE ITS
EMCOMM ABILITY
An amateur radio group in southwest Missouri is seeking donations for
upgrades to its regional repeater. The Southern Missouri Emergency
Communications Fund has been established by the 145.49 Repeater Club to
replace their ageing equipment.
Michael Blake, NZ0NQW, is the president of the 145.49 Repeater Club and a
board member for the Southern Missouri Emergency Communications Fund. He
says that the organization's radio equipment is funded solely by its
members, and costs can mount quickly for repair of aged equipment.
As a result, the group is actively seeking private and corporate donors to
support the badly needed upgrades to the system. This so that it can
continue its mission of helping to keep communities in touch and
forewarned in times of severe weather and other emergencies.
Donations to the Southern Missouri Emergency Communications Fund can be
made on-line at www.cfozarks.org/donate (please type SMO Emergency Comm)
in the Fund/Program field on the page) or by mailing a donation to the
Community Foundation of the Ozarks at P.O. Box 8960, Springfield, MO,
65801, indicating the fund in the memo line. (jm.com, eHam.net))

RADIO NEWS: HIGH WINDS FELL TWO TOWERS IN MASSACHUSETTS
Severe weather has taken a toll on two Massachusetts communications towers
as we hear from Amateur Radio Newsline's Stephan Kinford, N8WB:
--
High winds and heavy rain are being blamed for the collapse of two towers
in the Berkshire Mountains over the weekend of March 29th and 30th that
affected broadcasters, cellular providers and Internet service. The
collapse of the towers on Florida Mountain resulted in the loss or
significant interruption normal lines of communications services in the
North Adams Massachusetts area.
Paul Thurst is an engineer in the affected area. He wrote in his blog
that WUPE- FM in North Adams was taken down by the tower collapse. A
crawling information line on the stations website told station listeners
that they could hear the stations programming via that website and on 1110
kHz AM during the day. According to Thurst a new University of
Massachusetts owned translator for New England Public Radio was also
affected, pushing back its sign-on date.
Meantime the North Adams Department of Public Safety issued a statement
telling the public that anyone in need assistance and who has no cellular
telephone service to instead call for assistance using a wireline
telephone. The announcement also noted that the North Adams Police
Department will be monitoring its Facebook page if someone is unable to
contact Public Safety in any other way.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Stephen Kinford, N8WB, reporting.

HAM HAPPENINGS: A HAM RADIO RESTRSPECTIVE THROUGH FILM AND VIDEO
Still with Hamvention related news, we here at amateur Radio Newsline will
again be hosting the annual Ham Radio Town Meeting. This year in keeping
with the overall "maker renaissance" theme of the 2014 Dayton Hamvention
and also its association with the 100th anniversary of our national
society the American Radio Relay League this years Ham Radio Town Meeting
is will present "The History of Ham Radio as Told in Film and Video."
Through the magic of preserved promotional films, documentaries and
videos, with some dating back a half century or more, this session will be
a nostalgic trip through time. It will also show you ham radio as is was
in the past and how we hams as the first true "makers" helped mature all
forms of telecommunications to what we have today. The session will also
show the important role played by the ARRL in its nurturing, maturing and
protecting the Amateur Radio Service. We also hope to have some of those
involved in the production of these films and videos on hand to answer any
questions that you might have.
And as a side benefit, the session will also give you a place to take a
break, sit down for a while and be entertained by our hobby's glorious
past.
So please join us in on Saturday, May 17th from 1:45 thru 3:00 p.m.
Eastern time in Hara Arena meeting room 5 for "The History of Ham Radio as
Told in Film and Video." We hope to see some of you there. (ARNewsline)

EMERGING TECHNOLOGY: NEW ENERGY-EFFICIENT LIGHTS CAN WIPE OUT RADIO
If you are having severe interference on the High frequency bands, it
could be coming from your lights or that of a neighbor or even a business
a few miles away. Amateur Radio Newsline's Jim Davis, W2JKD, has the
details:
--
Interference to radio and even television reception caused by compact
fluorescent and LED lighting is quickly becoming a world-wide problem.
According to Jim Linton, VK3PC, as we conserve energy by the use of these
new illuminating devices occasionally these some will also emit radio
interference.
Among the rising number of cases here in the United States fluorescent
lights in a Los Angeles office caused problems for a node of Verizon's
Long-Term Evolution or LTE network. Another that we have reported on
involves the fluorescent lighting system electronic ballasts in a Texas
beauty salon's lighting system interfering with a mobile phone network.
In Australia, complaints about TV reception have come to Australian
Communications and Media Authority which has traced the problem to some
LED lights. In England and elsewhere there have reports of TV
interference complaints, even spreading to set-top boxes and cable TV.
But Linton says not to blame the actual technology, but rather its
implementation. He notes that the interference is mainly due to the cheap
design used in some products. He advises that if an interference problem
takes place to return them to the place of purchase. If you get no
satisfaction, we suggest you bring the matter to the attention of the
telecommunications regulatory authority in the nation where you live.

HAM RADIO IN SPACE: ISS HAMTV MOVES TO 2369 MHZ
The new Digital Amateur TV on the International Space Station is again up
and running but has changed frequency to 2369 MHz. Presently the system
is transmitting a blank image and no audio in configuration 5. This
translates to the use of ARISS antenna 43 with a Symbol rate of 1 point 3.
Reports on reception of blank transmissions can be filed via the web at
tinyurl.com/Space-Ham-TV. (ON4WF)

HAM RADIO IN SPACE: FUNCUBE-1 HAM RADIO TRANSPONDER TO BE ACTIVE WEEKENDS
More on time for a new UK ham radio bird. Following the 48 hour test on
April 5th and 6th, the FUNcube-1 control team has decided to switch the
satellite into full time transponder and low power beacon operation on
weekends.
The team plan to switch to this mode during the first suitable pass over
the U-K on Friday evenings. If for some reason this is not possible, then
the switch will be done on the first suitable pass on Saturday. And the
end of operating time the bird's controllers will switch the full time
transponder mode off during a suitable pass on Sunday evenings. Again, if
this is not possible the switch off will be made on Monday mornings,
approx. 0930 to 1200 UTC.
This schedule is totally reliant on the availability of command stations
with its aim is to significantly increase the availability of the
FUNcube-1 transponder to radio amateurs. This new schedule will continue
until further notice. (FUNcube 1 release)

THAT FINAL ITEM: TOYOTA CONFIRMS COLLISION FREE CARS
And finally this week, radio may help make the next generation of
automobiles a lot safer than today's models as we hear from Amateur Radio
Newsline's Cheryl Lasek, K9BIK:
--
Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan says that within the next two years it
will introduce systems that will make it possible for cars to communicate
with each other in order to avoid collisions.
According to a statement by the company, the system will use radio to
gather data on the speed of other vehicles to keep a safe distance.
Another system consisting of cameras, radar and control software will help
a car maintain position in a lane on its own.
The system Toyota has developed incorporates technologies derived from its
automated driving research and the carmaker has said it aims to create a
virtual "co-pilot" in vehicles that helps drivers avert accidents.
Toyota also recently showcased a new pre-crash technology that can steer a
vehicle moving at a high speed away from pedestrians when automatic
braking alone cannot avoid a collision.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Cheryl Lasek, K9BIK, in Zion,
Illinois.
--
Toyota says that this new system will be available sometime after 2015.
