RADIO POLITICS: IARU ADMINISTRATIVE COUNCIL PLANS FOR WRC-15
The Administrative Council of the International Amateur Radio Union has
released the minutes of its annual meeting on September 27th and 28th in
Bulgaria. Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, is in the newsroom with the details:
--
The meeting began with the Administrative Council reviewing the
International Amateur Radio Union's positions on each of the 2015 World
Radiocommunications Conference agenda items that relate to amateur radio
or may have an impact on amateur radio. The Council then made a number of
modifications to the paper related to justifications for the IARU
positions which in turn were to be forwarded to all member-societies.
The gathering then reviewed the participation of IARU at the upcoming 2015
World Radiocommunications Conference after which President Tim Ellam,
VE6SH announced the members of the team that will represent the
organization at the WRC 2015 gathering. The Council also adopted a system
to provide more efficient remote monitoring of certain ITU meetings that
may impact on amateur radio.
In other actions, the Council expressed its support for a Region 1 effort
to obtain a European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications
Administrations or CEPT proposal for a number of post-WRC-15 conference
agenda items. These include worldwide harmonization of 160 meters and 6
meters as well as an allocation at 3.4 GHz.
The Council also adopted the IARU Emergency Telecommunications Guide for
use by member-societies to strengthen amateur radio disaster preparedness,
response and mitigation. It also approved various strategies to promote
the role of amateur radio in these activities to government and
non-government organizations as well as to the general public
In relation to ham radio space based operations, the Council expressed the
importance of obtaining the ITU Advance Publication Information numbers
from administrations for satellite projects operating in the amateur and
amateur satellite bands. This in order to keep track of operational
satellites to help in frequency coordination and for resolving
interference issues.
This is only a part of what transpired at the meeting. The full minutes
are available at www dot iaru-r1 dot org.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, in Los
Angeles.

The Administrative Council is responsible for the policy and management of
the IARU and consists of the three IARU international officers and two
representatives from each of the three IARU regional organizations. It's
next scheduled in-person meeting will be held in Indonesia, in October,
2015 in conjunction with the IARU Region 3 Conference. (IARU)

NAMES IN THE NEWS: RADIO AMATEUR ONE OF THREE RESEARCHERS TO WIN THE
NOBEL PRIZE IN CHEMESTRY
A ham radio operator is one of three scientists named by the Royal Swedish
Academy to receive the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
The Stanford University news says that William Moerner, who holds the call
WN6I and who is a chemistry professor at Stanford will share the award
for his work in high-resolution nanoscopy with fellow researchers Eric
Betzig of Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Stefan Hell of the Max
Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Germany.
The article notes that the ability to dive deeper and deeper into human
biology and visualize the inner workings of cells at a molecular level is
central to modern research and medicine. It also quotes Stanford
President John L. Hennessy as saying that the path-breaking work of
Professor Moerner and his colleagues has made a major contribution to the
ability to observe molecules at the smallest scales, opening up new
possibilities for discovery in areas ranging from disease management to
drug development. More on the Nobel Prize in Chemistry winners is at
tinyurl.com/nobel-2014-chemestry.
The winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics was also announced and we will
have that story later on in this weeks newscast. (Nobelprize.org,

HAM RADIO IN SPACE: DATE ANNOUNCED FOR 4M-LXS LUNAR HAM RADIO MISSION
The launch of the China's 4M LXS fly-by ham radio moon mission is now
slated for liftoff in a narrow window around 17:59 UTC on Thursday,
October 23rd with the Lunar flyby is to occur on Tuesday, October 28 at
00:33 UTC.
Ghislain Ruy, LX2RG reports via the Southgate News that the 4M LXS Lunar
flyby amateur radio payload departed Luxembourg for China's Satellite
Launch Center on Sunday, October 5th. Once there it will be transferred
to the launch vehicle.
LX2RG says that the lifetime of 4M LXS ham radio payload is an unknown.
That it may be as short as 100 hours ounce it reaches the Moon but could
extend for some weeks if the host spacecrafts attitude is favorable.
As reported last August by AMSAT-UK, China is planning to send the lunar
orbiter around the Moon carrying, among other experiments, a battery
powered ham radio payload known as 4M LXS. The amateur radio system will
transmit a JT65B signal on 145.990 MHz which can be decoded by radio
amateurs here on Earth using the free WSJT software.
LX2RG also reports that the ham radio team is currently in the process of
setting up its ground station network. They are especially looking for
southern hemisphere stations as they will be very much needed to provide
first hand reports for the early hours of the mission. Those wishing to
volunteer should e-mail ruy (at) luxspace (dot) lu with the words 4M
Amateur in the subject line.
This flight is one of several planned as a precursor to China's future
Chang'e 5 lander mission which is hopes will land safely on the Moon,
collect samples and return them safely back to Earth. (Southgate, LX2RG)

HAM RADIO BALLOONING: M0XER B-64 BALLOON STILL FLOATING AROUND THE WORLD
The B-64 balloon launched at 06:51 GMT on July 12th from the United
Kingdom is still aloft and on air transmitting on 434.500 MHz. This,
using both Contestia 64/1000 and APRS.
On October 3rd Phil Heron MI0VIM reported decoding data from B-64 while it
was over the North Atlantic ocean, coming up to 6th time it would pass the
United Kingdom on it's continuing journeys around the world.
B-64 was built by Leo Bodnar M0XER, who made both the plastic foil
envelope and the solar powered transmitter payload which weighs just 11
grams. You can see its track at tinyurl.com/b64-continues-journey. Be
sure to give the page about 15 to 20 seconds to fully load. (B-64 Team)

RESCUE RADIO: HAM RADIO IN THE YUKON WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS
A pair of radio amateurs in the Yukon Territory recently used ham radio to
get information from a Search and Rescue campsite to the command center in
one of those situations where all else failed.
The situation was that Terry Hauff, VY1MAP, was a member of a Search and
Rescue team that was on an active hunt for a missing teenager. The
command center they had setup was approximately 22 miles north of the city
of Whitehorse at Lake Laberge. The location put them out of cellphone
coverage and the satellite phone they had with them was not working. As
such, there was no way to call for additional resources or send status
reports. Enter ham radio.
At this point VY1MAP used his mobile ham station to contact Ray Fugard
VY1RF, in Whitehorse using a local 2 meter repeater that covered both
areas. During that QSO Hauff was able to pass some important traffic to
and from the Search and Rescue command center. Soon after the missing
young man was found and all ended well. (RAC, YARA, VE3XU)

RESCUE RADIO: VOIP HURRICANE WATCH NET CHANGES
Some changes and non-changes are coming to an important rescue radio
information net. Here are the details.
While much of the U.S. returns to Standard Time at 2 am local on Sunday,
November 2nd the VoIP Skywarn Hurricane Prep Net won't make any time
change. Because of this, in both Arizona and for those stations that use
UTC, starting with the November 8th gathering the start time will be one
hour later. All the rest of the U.S. time zones that observe Daylight
Savings Time will not see a change in the start time for the net.
There will be a single one exception. On Saturday December 6th the start
time for the net that night only will be one hour earlier beginning
immediately at the conclusion of Skywarn Recognition Day activities.
Also from December, through May the net will meet only on the first
Saturday of the month. Weekly nets will resume in June, 2015, when the
new hurricane season begins. (Daryl Stout, WX1DER)

ENFORCEMENT: MARRIOTT TO PAY $600,000 FOR BLOCKING WI FI
The FCC says that Marriott International Corporation will pay a $600,000
forfeiture. This, to resolve an investigation by that agency into whether
a hotel's employees blocked customers from using their personal Wi-Fi
networks and then charged them to use the hotel network. Amateur Radio
Newsline's Stephan Kinford, N8WB, has more:
--
The FCC claims that employees at Marriott's Gaylord Opryland Resort and
Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee disabled Wi-Fi networks
established by consumers at its conference facilities. They then allegedly
charged guests from $250 to $1,000 per device for access to the hotel
network.
The investigation began after a March 2013 on complaint from someone who
attended a function at the resort. According to the FCC, that person
alleged that the hotel was jamming mobile hotspots. The FCC says its
investigation found that employees used features of a Wi-Fi monitoring
system at the Gaylord Opryland to contain and or de- authenticate guest
created Wi-Fi hotspot access points in the conference facilities.
In addition to paying the fine, the FCC says that Marriott must institute
a compliance plan and file compliance and usage reports with the
regulatory agency every three months for the next three years. These
reports must include information documenting any use of access point
containment features at any United States property that Marriott manages
or owns.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Stephen Kinford, N8WB, reporting.
--
While Marriott apparently will pay the fine, the company contends that it
believes the actions of employees were lawful. It adds that it will
continue to encourage the FCC to pursue a rulemaking in order to eliminate
the ongoing confusion resulting from action taken and to assess the merits
of its underlying policy. (FCC, published news reports)

ENFORCEMENT: PUERTO RICO COMPANY FINED $25000 FOR INTERFEREING WITH FAA
WEATHER RADAR
A follow-up on a story we first reported earlier this year. The FCC has
affirmed a penalty of $25,000 against CMARR, Incorporated of San Juan,
Puerto Rico. This for its alleged willful interference to with Federal
Aviation Administration weather radar in San Juan, by operating radio
transmitters without a license.
This past June 24th the Enforcement Bureau's San Juan Office issued the
Notice of Apparent Liability to CMARR for operating an intentional
radiator without a license. To date, CMARR has not filed a response to
the proposed fine. Based on the information before it, the FCC now says
the proposed fine stands and has given the company the customary 30 days
to pay or to file an appeal.
In its October 1st order affirming the fine, the FCC noted that given the
risk to public safety created by CMARR's unlicensed operations, and the
fact that the company had already received a warning for similar
violations, that these actions warrant a significant penalty. (FCC)

NEW GEAR: UNDER $13 UHF HT BEING SOLD INTO THE UK
The price of a bare bones entry level 70 centimeter hand held has fallen
to a new low. At least it has over in the United Kingdom where you can
how get one for about 8 Pounds which equates to around $13 in United
States currency.
The radio in question is the Baofeng/Pofung model BF-888S that covers 400
to 470 MHz that is being sold on eBay by one retailer for just a few
pennies under the $13 mark and shipped to the purchaser from Singapore.
Unlike the slightly more expensive UV-3R dual band series, the BF888S is
limited to only16 programmable channels within the 70 centimeter frequency
range. However it does come with a 1500 milliamp hour battery, a battery
saver function, an emergency alarm, VOX function, a built-in flashlight
and is computer programmable.
So as to ask a rhetorical question: Who ever thought we hams would be
around to see what amounts to a throw away when it breaks, HT.

NAMES IN THE NEWS: THREE RESEARCHER AWARDED NOBEL PRIZE IN PHUSICS FOR
DEVELOPING BLUE LED
Three researchers, one from the United States and two from Japan, have
been awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics. This for their roles in
developing light emitting diodes that produce a blue glow.
Isamu Akasaki, with Meijo University and Nagoya University, Hiroshi Amano,
of Nagoya University, and Shuji Nakamura, with the University of
California at Santa Barbara California are the 20 14 recipients. They
will be sharing the $1.1 million prize for choosing materials and
developing the techniques that have made possible the blue toned Light
Emitting Diode.
The trio's collective breakthrough have led to lamps that last for decades
and consume far less power than either incandescent or fluorescent bulbs
to provide the same amount of light. The blue LEDs have made possible
today's flat-panel, full-color computer monitors and TV screens, and are
used in lasers for Blu-ray DVD players and higher density data storage
using Blu-Ray DVD units.
It was also noted that Blue-emitting LED's combined with storage batteries
and solar charging panels could eventually allow more than 1 billion
people worldwide to move from no lighting at all to electric lighting
without using local gas or diesel generators or regional power plants to
provide it.
The three researchers will receive their award at a ceremony in Stockholm,
Sweden, on December 10th. (Nobelprize.org, other published news reports)

WORLDBEAT: SOME FISHY INTERFERENCE FROM DOWN-UNDER
Turning to news from around the world, here's one might call some fishey
business down-under. Amateur Radio Newsline's Jim Meachen, ZL2BHF, has
the rest of the story:
--
Recently Christchurch, New Zealand radio inspectors were involved with a
commercial interference case affecting a major microwave link in the upper
South Island.
The microwave link's operator was able to identify that the system was
only being affected when the same fishing vessel crossed its path in the
Cook Strait. This led the inspectors to realize that the only possible
way to determine the interference source was to position themselves on a
hilltop overlooking the Strait.
Using a microwave dish and sufficient gain they were able to see the
interfering signals radiating from one particular fishing boat. By
utilizing the Automatic Identifying System vessel tracking website the
position was verified.
It was now obvious that the fishing boat was the cause of the interference
because the radio frequency signature of the noise looked to be very
similar to the S Band radar aboard most such vessels. What was not known
was why it was emitting these spurious signals.
The first order of business was for New Zealand's telecommunications
administrator Radio Spectrum Management calling the fishing company and
requesting that the S Band radar on that vessel be turned off.
Immediately the noise ceased. A subsequent letter sent to the fishing
company led to the S Band radar's magnetron final tube was replaced. Yes,
it was just a rather expensive final amplifier tube, gone bad.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Jim Meachen, ZL2BHF, in Nelson, New
Zealand.

THAT FINAL ITEM: ITS TIME FOR JOTA 2014
And finally this week, the 2014 Scouting Jamboree on the Air, known by its
acronym JOTA will take place the weekend of October 18th and the 19th.
Amateur Radio Newsline's Mark Abramovich, NT3V, brings us the details:
--
This is the single-biggest annual international Scouting event. And, the
numbers back up the claim.
"Seven-hundred-thousand Scouts get on the air from 150 countries across
12,000 stations and nearly 22,000 amateur radio operators. It's a big
deal!"
That's Jim Wilson, K5ND, who's the USA national Jamboree on the Air
organizer and a member of the World Jamboree on the Air team.
Wilson says the event gives amateur radio operators the chance to share
the brotherhood of the hobby with the brotherhood of Scouting.
More than 300 stations already have signed up to take part in the U.S. and
there's still time to get in on the fun, Wilson says.
"A lot of the stations that have registered this year really fire up
Saturday morning and run all day
Saturday. But there's a lot of stations, too, that are on the air Friday
evening," Wilson says.
Wilson says this is the 57th year for JOTA activity on the bands and it
also marks a first for the event - at least in the U.S.
"This is the first year that K2BSA/1, 2, 3, 4 and so on, will be on the
air from every call sign area in the continental USA," he says. "Here in
Texas, K2BSA/5 will be on the air from the National Scouting Museum."
Wilson says it's not a contest in the traditional sense - but really a
worldwide gathering of Scouts and their leaders on the air, sharing things
about themselves such as their Scouting ranks, their experiences in
Scouting, things like that.
Many of the stations are set up at Scout camps or Scout camporees.
The idea is to get the boys, and on the international side - girls as well
- talking on the air.
"What they're looking for are conversations," Wilson explains. "It's not
about making 100 contacts an hour or something like that. It's just about
getting the Scouts in front of the microphone and having conversations.
"So, anybody can do that and we really appreciate the amateur radio
operators who are tuning across the bands, come across somebody calling
'CQ JOTA.' Answer back, engage. Tell 'em about when you earned Radio merit
badge or when you got your amateur radio license."
Wilson offers one caution. Be careful to follow those third-party
agreements.
"We're open to so many countries and we can get on the air and let the
Scouts get on the air use the microphone," Wilson advises. "But in other
countries, there are restrictions and the ARRL keeps a wonderful list of
those third-party agreements."
Wilson says you can learn more about JOTA activities or sign up by going
to K2BSA.net.
K2BSA, by the way, is the call sign awarded to the Boy Scouts of America
by the FCC.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Mark Abramowicz, NT3V, in
Philadelphia.

JOTA was first held in conjunction with the fiftieth anniversary of
Scouting and was devised by the late Les Mitchell, G3BHK, who became a
Silent Key on October 6th. It is now considered the largest yearly event
scheduled by the World Organization of the Scout Movement held annually
and an ongoing tribute to its creator. You can read the story of how it
came about at tinyurl.com/jota-beginnings. (NT3V, ARNewsline)
