2022 APRIL 10 VK NATIONAL NEWS BROADCAST ON VK1WIA ------------------------------------------------------------* THE BEST NEWS YOU'LL GET ALL WEEK THIS LINK IS A VIDEO VERSION OF NEWS COMPILED BY VK5BD BEVAN tinyurl.com/WIA-News-Videos ------------------------------------------------------------* NATIONAL NEWS FOR WEEK COMMENCING APRIL 10 2022 IN OUR 27th YEAR OF NON STOP NEWS Angelo VK2NWT WIA Affiliated Clubs Coordinator Angelo plus lots lots more NEWS FROM THE WIRELESS INSTITUTE OF AUSTRALIA PROGRAM RECORDED IN BRISBANE, OLYMPIC CITY 2032. WIA JOIN THE WIA tinyurl.com/yyj87b9y Hi everyone, this is Angelo VK2NWT WIA Affiliated Clubs Coordinator. Over the last few months in this role I have spent a fair bit of time visiting other Amateur Radio Club websites and Facebook pages in order to get gain some ideas about what other Clubs do and how they present their Club information. Whilst some club websites are pretty basic simply stating their existence and provide basic details about their Club, others go a bit further and explain what Amateur Radio has to offer in this modern world. Some Clubs regularly post pictures and stories about what theyve been up to such as Field Days, Public displays, member projects, club social days etc. It's easy to think we've done enough and if they want more information then simply contact us, but then you see somethings on another club websites and think now thats a good idea or why dont we try that? So, I'm suggesting that you take some time out to have a good look at the other Clubs websites and all their links, bookmark their pages and look them up regularly to see what theyve been up to. I'm sure you will gain some new ideas and initiatives which you could discuss at your own Club and possibly take on in the future. You can find the website addresses of the majority of other Australian Clubs on their respective WIA Website pages. Further to just looking at Australian sites, Ive also found it very useful to look up overseas Club Websites such as the US, Canada and the UK and Ive provided links in the text version of this segment to the listings of amateur radio clubs in those countries to help you. ARRL: arrl.org/find-a-club RSGB: rsgb.org/main/clubs/club-finder/ Radio Amateurs of Canada: rac.ca/clubs-3/ Another idea if you are a Facebook user is to look up Amateur Radio Clubs Facebook pages and to join or follow their respective pages in order to receive regular postings of what they're up to. This is where Facebook has it well and truly over static websites because Facebook is a dynamic medium and will notify you of new postings on their Facebook page once you have started following them. Now I know Facebook may not be everyones cup of tea and you may have a view that it is not necessary and to be avoided and all that sort of stuff; however, the simple fact is, Facebook is free, has some great media tools you can use to your Clubs benefit and is a very powerful medium with which to connect your Club with the modern day Public. Facebook is used by an increasing number of Clubs around the world to great success. I've found this exercise very worthwhile and Ive gained some great ideas for my own Club's Website, Facebook page and activities and I would strongly encourage you to do the same. Finally a reminder to all to keep your page details up to date on your WIA Website club listing and ensure that your committee members details are up to date including phone numbers and email addresses and, if you need a hand this or want more information about Club websites and Facebook, please dont hesitate to contact me via email at vk2nwt@wia.org.au 73 everyone from Angelo VK2NWT. ------------------------------------------------------------* HAM RADIO OPERATIONAL NEWS - IT'S A CONTACT SPORT NOW CONTEST WISE:- -------------- 2022 -------------- Peel Amateur Radio Group in WA will be holding its 80m Slow CW Contest Easter Saturday April 16th.

(ARNewsLine) ------------------------------------------------------------* INTERNATIONAL NEWS With thanks to IARU, RSGB, RAC, Southgate AR Club, ARRL, NZART, eHam, AMATEUR RADIO NEWSLINE & the World Wide sources of the WIA. World Amateur Radio Day Monday 18 April is World Amateur Radio Day. It is also a public holiday ending the Easter Weekend here in VK, Easter Monday. It was on 18 April 1925 that the International Amateur Radio Union was founded, during the International Radiotelegraph Conference in Paris. Amateur Radio experimenters were the first to discover that the short wave spectrumfar from being a wastelandcould support worldwide propagation. In the rush to use these shorter wavelengths, Amateur Radio was in grave danger of being pushed aside, the IARUs history has noted. Amateur Radio pioneers meeting in Paris created the IARU to support Amateur Radio worldwide then just 2 years later, at the International Radiotelegraph Conference, Amateur Radio gained the allocations still recognized today160, 80, 40, 20, and 10 meters. Since its founding, the IARU has worked tirelessly to defend and expand the frequency allocations for Amateur Radio. Thanks to the support of enlightened administrations in every part of the globe, radio amateurs are now able to experiment and communicate in frequency bands strategically located throughout the radio spectrum. From the 25 countries that formed the IARU in 1925, the IARU has grown to include 160 member-societies in three regions. IARU Region 1 includes Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Northern Asia. Region 2 covers the Americas, Region 3 is comprised of Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific island nations, and most of Asia. The International Telecommunication Union has recognized the IARU as representing the interests of Amateur Radio. Today, Amateur Radio is more popular than ever, with more than 3,000,000 THATS 3 MILLION! licensed operators! and thats why we radio amateurs worldwide celebrate April 18 with special activities every year. As an example, the South African Radio League will be issuing a WARD Certificate to radio amateurs who make QSOs on 18 April 2022 and submit a log sheet. ZT 4 T will also be active on 18 April on 7,100 and 3,700 MHz. ( submit a log sheet to secretary@sarl.org.za ) Bob Schenck, N2OO, President INDEXA has announced their Humanitarian Aid Fund -- "The Zorro Miyazawa, JH1AJT, Hams with Hearts Fund". INDEXA now has a new "epitaph" for their Humanitarian Aid Fund. The addition will be "The Zorro Miyazawa, JH1AJT, Hams with Hearts Fund" in honour of its founder who recently became a silent key. Before his death in March of 2022, Mr. Zorro Miyazawa, JH1AJT, established and endowed the INDEXA Humanitarian Aid Fund which specifically supports humanitarian aid projects carried out by DXpeditions. His generosity enabled INDEXA to begin these grants in January of 2016. To learn more about this fund, please visit indexa.org/ REGION ONE There have been recently a number of reports of individual holders of UK Amateur licenses in region 1 gaining Innovation and Trial licences from Ofcom to conduct experimental transmissions on 40MHz (8m) Ofcom has made it very clear for several years that there was no likelihood of UK radio amateurs gaining any access to 40MHz which included NoV (Notice of Variation) to a UK amateur licence or an amateur SRP (Special Research Permit). The RSGB has consulted Ofcom as to the exact status of these Innovation and Trial licences. Ofcoms reply in part was as follows: We have been approached by a couple of individuals wanting to conduct experiments in the band. Like all other research and innovation requests Ofcom receives we have put these through our Innovation and Trial licensing regime. If the coordination checks are passed, they are being issued with an Innovation and Trial licence. These are issued for up to 12 months on a non-interference, no protection and non-operational basis. These are not Amateur Radio Special Research Permits and licensees do not fall under the Amateur Radio licence terms and conditions. Therefore, applicants are not required to have passed an amateur exam or hold a callsign. Although we (Ofcom) are allowing this experimentation, we would like to make it clear that we have no proposals to allow wider amateur radio access to the 40 MHz band. France takes action against radio amateur The court of Versailles has sentenced a 65-year-old resident of La Falaise to a one-year suspended prison sentence. He was a Radio amateur and had transmitted insulting, threatening and homophobic remarks A translation of the Ouest France story reads: This radio amateur has been targeted by several complaints from all over France for remarks he made on the air, it's been reported. tinyurl.com/27hev5e6 For several months, the defendant had made insulting remarks, including homophobic, explains the news site. The sexagenarian had also announced the false death of a man on Facebook. "People who knew me had even called the town hall where I live to find out when my funeral was," the victim told our colleagues. The man, who had not taken care to hide his callsign, had been easily identified. He had been arrested for the first time by the gendarmes in December 2020, says the local media. His broadcast material, which was not declared, had been seized. He was arrested again on January 7 for non-compliance with his judicial control after having bought equipment. The defendant was finally sentenced to one year in prison with a probationary suspension of 2 years. He was also sentenced to the prohibition to exercise the activity of amateur radio as well as to pay a fine of 5,000 . Belgium's UBA has joined other national Amateur Radio societies in banning amateurs from Russia and Belarus from contests With regard to participation in activities of a competitive nature (contests, ARDF competitions, obtaining awards, etc.), the Board of Directors of the UBA has decided that the UBA will support the measures of various IARU sister associations and regular sports organizations. This means that, until further notice, broadcasting and listening amateurs from the Russian Federation and Belarus are excluded from participation. For Belgian participants in various competitions organized by the UBA, this means that connections with stations in those countries yield zero points and that they cannot be used as multipliers either. tinyurl.com/IARU-Belgium REGION TWO FROM THE SPACE WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER OF THE USA'S NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION New sunspot counts from NOAA confirm that Solar Cycle 25 is racing ahead of the official forecast--and the gap is growing: Sunspot counts have now exceeded predictions for 18 straight months. The monthly value at the end of March was more than twice the forecast, and the highest in nearly 7 years. Federal Communications Commission staff in the USA have clarified in response to an ARRL request that the new $35 application fee will NOT apply to most license modifications, including those to upgrade an amateur radio licensees operator class and changes to club station trustees. The FCC staff explained that the new fees will apply only to applications for a new license, renewal, rule waiver etc. etc. REGION THREE Kolkata India: Millennium Post are reporting that the son of a retired customs officer who had gone missing during the family's visit to Kanyakumari in December last year, has been traced by ham radio operators. The father of the victim left for Chennai by flight on Friday night last to bring his son back home. "We had searched for our missing son for some days after cancelation of our return ticket to Kolkata, but our efforts proved futile. A few days ago, I learnt about Ambarish Nag Biswas, the secretary and custodian of West Bengal Radio Club- an organisation of ham radio enthusiasts that has expertise in tracing missing persons," said Burman. Nag Biswas asked for a photograph of Sandeep and circulated it among his counterparts in Chennai. On Friday morning, he was located while begging for alms. His father identified him to be his son. "Considering the age of the Father, one of our hams has accompanied the elderly father to bring back his son safely to their residence," Nag Biswas said. tinyurl.com/54ef6499 ------------------------------------------------------------* WORLD WIDE SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP NEWS - AND - SUMMITS ON THE AIR, WORLD WIDE FLORA, FAUNA PROGRAM, PARKS ON THE AIR and other ADVENTURE GROUPS. hema.org.uk/index.jsp minesontheair.com/about-mota parksontheair.com/ sota.org.uk sotawatch.sota.org.uk/en/ wwffaustralia.com/ SOTA's 20th Anniversary Summits on the Air was launched in England and Wales March 2 2002.

(SouthGate) WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS --- CW www.morsecodeclassnet.com There are many different types of Morse key available, old and new. One of the most interesting and iconic is a key that is commonly known as the Bathtub Key. This Morse key was used in WW2 British bomber aircraft. It was sealed and this not only enabled it to be used in some early open cockpit aircraft, but it was most widely used in the heavy bombers like the famous Avro Lancaster and several others. The sealed nature of the key was important because it was felt that the sparks from the key contacts could cause an explosion in the presence of the fumes of aviation fuel that might have been present in these aircraft. Find out more about this interesting key in the YouTube video, link is of course in this weeks text edition of WIA National News. youtu.be/vVtC4opd_7k (eHam.net) WORLD WIDE SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS --- DIGITAL vkdmr.info/ brandmeister.network/?page=repeaters Everything you need to know about LoRa LoRa is a digital mode used that is used in the 70cm band for point-to-point links, High Altitude Balloon telemetry and images as well as for amateur satellite communications A recent talk on LoRaWAN given by Johan Stokking is now available on YouTube and Daimon Tilley G4USI has written two magazine articles about LoRa which are available on the web: An introduction to LoRa radio Radio User January 2021 Understanding LoRa radio RadCom January and February 2021 The PDF's can be downloaded from his articles page in this weeks text edition of the news. g4usi.wordpress.com/amateur-radio-magazine-articles/ youtube.com/watch?v=ZsVhYiX4_6o Now with more digital news, VK2WAY Jared Quinn.

The annual School Club EU Day activity on May 5th is worth all of us taking part in, particularly "we youngsters". It's designed to bring contacts with and among school amateur radio club and training stations and school girls and boys with own callsigns as well as contacts with every other station from all over Europe (and the world even). The activity sounds a great way to get young operators on the air from their school shacks using their training call signs (or the school clubs call sign for irrelevant messages only according to national law). Very often a new operator will be intimidated by the fear of not knowing what to say to the stranger on the other side of the radio. The exchange of information helps to overcome this fear in a low pressure contest format, it should not be made a 5-9-contest, though. Operators are encouraged to take more time to chat beyond the exchange of the necessary details. tinyurl.com/2p92csdx WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS --- RESCUE RADIO IARU REGION 3 The Peel Amateur Radio Group in Western Australia is holding Exercise Cloudless Dawn 1 involving Mandurah Local Emergency organisations, including the Police, SES, Hospital and Bushfire Brigade, and will simulate a complete State-wide failure of the Internet after a cyber-attack.

A ground search was done until last light on the Sunday, followed by an aerial search using thermal and night vision technology and involved Search and Rescue personnel, LandSAR, AREC ( the Amateur Radio Emergency Communications personnel) and search dogs. Then some three days later the 2 missing hunters were found walking out of the bush and police say they were being flown to Southland Hospital to be assessed as a precaution.
