Your WIA's Roger Harrison VK2ZRH tells all. - WIA director Steven Green VK2TSG joins us.- AND be afraid - be VERY afraid - Halloween is almost here. WIA past board member John, VK4JJW has the "gory details". THIS & MORE IN THIS EDITION OF NEWS FROM THE WIRELESS INSTITUTE OF AUSTRALIA PROGRAM RECORDED IN BRISBANE, OLYMPIC CITY 2032, Yes BUILT in the EAST and heard all across Terra Australis and the world. This weekend in the west is PerthTech a gathering of VK6 hams. Speaking of VK6, a couple of westerners, namely Zeljko VK6VY and Alan VK6CQ (and isn't THAT a great call) are off to Cocos Keeling Island, Australia's most westerly tropical possession. A little DXing in store from Tuesday October 25 until the 4th of November with callsign VK9CM. 4 operators ( Zeljko VK6VY, Alan VK6CQ, Luke VK3HJ and Chris VK3QB ) make up VK9CM BUT they'll also participate in the CQWW SSB Contest as VK 9 C For qsl info and news visit qrz.com. WIA JOIN THE WIA tinyurl.com/yyj87b9y This is Roger Harrison VK2ZRH with an update on the WIAs response to the ACMAs latest proposal on amateur radio licensing. You will recall that in my last bulletin, I explained that the WIA Board had engaged a team of highly experienced and well-credentialed active amateurs who had hit the ground running to develop the WIAs response to the ACMAs proposed new licensing regime. In its first meeting via Zoom on Monday 3rd October, the team identified a number of sticking points in the ACMAs proposals. This is going to be a quantum step in the evolution of amateur licensing in Australia, such as we have not seen previously. Hence, it all needs close and careful consideration. A number of issues to improve amateur privileges that the WIA has doggedly pursued over a decade or more are included in the ACMAs proposal like access to the whole 6m band for Standard licensees, for example. Give that a tick! At the Groups latest Zoom meeting, last Tuesday the 18th of October, work on developing answers to the ACMAs numerous questions was continued. In addition, work has begun on comparing the existing licence conditions to the ACMAs Radiocommunications Class Licence 2022. Not only that, parallel work is continuing on developing details of the proposed amateur community survey to gather viewpoints and suggestions from individuals, groups and WIA Affiliated Clubs. Part of the reason for doing this is that we note the ACMAs stated view that they dont wish to deal with large numbers of form letter responses to the consultation. An exposure draft of the WIAs response to the ACMA is anticipated to be ready in early November. Sharpen your keyboards to join the WIAs radio amateur community survey when it opens online in November. As I said previously, maintain a watch for regular despatches from the Wireless Institute's Working Group on the ACMAs licensing proposals. This is Roger Harrison VK2ZRH for the WIA Working Group responding to the ACMAs proposed Class Licensing and high power operations. Hello, this is your WIA director Steven Green VK2TSG; with three items today, Firstly, I wanted to bring your attention to the Clubs and individuals who put time into making the recent Jamboree of the Air or 'JOTA' a success. In seeing the preparations made by my own club in the Blue Mountains of Sydney; I know a great deal of work goes on behind the scenes, including prior to the weekend. Therefore we wanted to express our thanks all Amateur Operators and their clubs who were involved, but also their supporters, families, and Friends for giving up precious time to help introduce Radio to young people. I am also looking forward to the upcoming Ham Radio Conference in Tasmania next month, the details of which can be found on the website of the Radio and Electronics Association of Southern Tasmania. This looks to be an event that caters for so many facets of Radio with some very interesting talks planned. For myself, I am particularly interested in the opportunity to learn from the experiences of the groups and clubs that will be present, and how we can share this with all affiliated groups. Lastly, a number of clubs have implemented some terrific programmes to encourage people to get on air more often, I hear terms such as 'Radio Active', '23-on-23' for the 23cm band, and so on. As a community we need to look at this situation further; Increasing the use of the bands helps provide evidence that our continued use of the frequencies is justified, and helps us achieve our aims of communication, technical education, experimentation and so forth. How about considering calling on and off your local repeater or call frequency when traveling. Let people know that you are about; and consider taking your radio with you when traveling or commuting. It does not mean you have to be talking the whole time or having lengthy conversations, as even a little increase in activity helps us and lets newcomers know there are others out there. Until next time, 73's from Steven VK2TSG.... ------------------------------------------------------------* INTERNATIONAL NEWS With thanks to IARU, RSGB, RAC, Southgate AR Club, ARRL, NZART, eHam, AMATEUR RADIO NEWSLINE & the World Wide sources of the WIA. REGION ONE The International Telecommunication Union has announced that the 2023 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-23) will be held from November 20 through December 15 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. WRCs are held every three to four years, at which time delegates from around the world review and, as needed, revise the ITU Radio Regulations, which provide an international framework for regulation of the RF spectrum and the orbits of communications satellites. The Radio Regulations include the basic structure of the Amateur Radio Service, including frequency allocations and license requirements. National Radio Societies and The International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) are always involved in pre-conference deliberations and send observers to the conferences. Speaking of the IARU:- IARU President keynote at RSGB 2022 Convention On 7 to 9 October the RSGB held its first hybrid Convention which had speakers, attendees and livestream-watchers from across the world. The keynote presentation by IARU President Tim Ellam, Kings Counsel and Ham Op VE6SH/G4HUA was very thought-provoking. In it he highlighted threats to amateur radio as well as the importance of embracing modern techniques, whilst also being willing to adapt and change. The Society has released on its YouTube channel a standalone recording of Tims presentation, combined with his interesting Convention Chat with the RSGB and IRTS Presidents. youtube.com/watch?v=jKfI6c8LfQ4 AN AMATEUR radio operator is set to be ordered to remove several alien and intrusive antennae from the walls of a terraced home in the UK, Essex, Shoebury. Planning experts claim seven antennae will need to be taken down from a building because they are out of character with the area and have not received planning permission. Enforcement action has previously been taken on the property in 2002 when some antennae were removed. Another enforcement notice was issued in 2014 but those antennae remained and have since been added to. According to the Radio Society of Great Britain, most antennae need planning permission unless they are considered permitted development such as for TV antennae and ground mounted antennae up to 3 metres in height, although some local councils allow more. If they have been present for four years or more they may also be exempt but proof would be required. If an antenna is mobile it may also not need planning permission. However, the report adds: The antennae on site do NOT benefit from permitted development provisions and with the service of the 2014 notice any potential permitted development rights have been lost. tinyurl.com/mwu3cuax REGION TWO Bouncing a signal off the moon. Learning more about a mysterious polar light. Sending a beam to Jupiter. Those are just some of the 13 experiments for a packed 10 days of science at the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program. The University of Alaska Fairbanks operates the facility and the number of experiments is the highest so far under a five-year, $9.3 million US grant awarded last year by the National Science Foundation to establish the Subauroral Geophysical Observatory at HAARP. The observatorys purpose is the exploration of Earths upper atmosphere and geospace environment. Among the experiments is the Moon Bounce, a joint operation of the JPL, Owens Valley Radio Observatory in California and the University of New Mexico Long Wavelength Array. The purpose is to test the coordination of the three facilities for the eventual study of near-Earth asteroids, especially those that can be a hazard to Earth. Knowing an asteroids composition can influence the type of defence to be used. The experiment consists of transmitting a signal from HAARP to the moon and receiving the reflected signal at the California and New Mexico sites. The Jupiter experiment, run by Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, aims to prove a method of observing planetary ionospheres by using Earth-based radio transmitters. The experiment will send a beam to Jupiter and bounce it off the giant planets ionosphere with the hope that it will be received at the New Mexico site. Jupiter is currently about 374 million miles from Earth and this experiment will stretch the transmitting ability of HAARP, which can produce up to 3.6 Megawatts of power, to the fullest. It will also test the receiving ability of the New Mexico site, which consists of 512 antennas. ------------------------------------------------------------* WEIRD AND WONDERFUL. HORRORS! ZOMBIES SEEKING QSOs WITH CW OPS As so many of its enthusiasts will tell you, CW is not - most definitely NOT - dead. At this time of the year, however, with Halloween just around the corner, CW does have a tendency to become a little "ZOMBIE-FIED" as we saw in a recent Amateur Radio NewsLine edition. You don't need to go trick-or-treating as Samuel F.B. Morse to become a CW Zombie. On the night of Friday, October 28th, just turn your power to 5 watts or less and you too can participate in a QRP activity that's been haunting hams for 25 years: The Zombie Shuffle. The zombies and their keys rise from the grave at 4 p.m. local time and continue until the witching hour of midnight in the hope of using 15 and 20 meters before nightfall spirits the good conditions away. Now because this is radio, wearing a costume won't help you very much, but organizers encourage operators to adopt an alias for the night. Last year's ops reported working "Chucky," "Boris," "Elvira," "Lazarus" and even....."Igor." Details can be found in the event link that appears in the text version of this week's WIA National News wia.org.au zianet.com/qrp/ZOMBIE/pg.htm] Fellow Creatures of the Night: Please remember to shuffle - Zombies do not like to go fast. Call "CQ BOO" and....let's hope the bands won't be --- wait for it----'dead.'

Jeremy Boot G4NJH reports. The team developing EIRSAT-1, Ireland's first satellite, has returned from Belgium, where the project underwent rigorous testing at the CubeSat Support Facility, including an assessment to ensure it would survive launch. The University College Dublin team includes David Murphy, EI9HWB, and Lna Salmon, EI9HXB. They are developing the low-earth-orbit CubeSat as part of the European Space Agency's "Fly Your Satellite" programme. ESA administrators have said in the past that they view the project as a way to grow a new generation of space scientists and engineers to nurture a space programme for Ireland. The satellite is tentatively scheduled for a launch from an ESA base in French Guiana by early 2023. This is Jeremy Boot G4NJH. (ARNewsLine) Satellite AO-27s timer has drifted enough to be workable for a few minutes from the northern United States, Canada, and much of Europe. For our listeners in those areas, give it a listen. This timer drift of AO-27 has allowed a new distance record to be set on the satellite. Joe Werth, KE9AJ, at a SOTA summit in Wisconsin in the upper Midwestern United States worked Nick Garbett, M 1 DDD/P in IO83ru October 5. The satellite was at 59 degrees north during the QSO and remember a distance record on this satellite is greatly complicated by the 3.5 minutes the satellite is activated on each orbit.

Saturday there were 3 bases, canoeing on the river at one, others with Defibrillators and CPR and also Communications. Quite a cool morning at the river but it didnt worry the kids. VK4CNQ set up the Morse station and a Battle ships Command station every child and some leaders learnt how to key out their first name and were rewarded with a participation certificate. When they got back to the Polo grounds the buzz was who had a certificate and who didnt. Battleships- 4 UHF handhelds on Ch. 13 and 14 and in pairs they tried to sink the ships. Nick had his CB on both channels so he could hear what was going on. Next day, Sunday, back at the Polo Cross Field -- Morse Code and some small electromagnets winding wire around a nail and had some for the kids to make their own. The target was to see how many paper clips they could pick up. Using a biro casing they made a solenoid and used a straight paper clip so when the power was applied the paper clip was sucked in. So In all seems they had an amazing and rewarding weekend. Back to you Bruce.

ARRL member Tony DeAngelo, N2MFT, said STARC was activated Monday, September 26, and continued operations through Thursday, September 29, 2022 with amateur radio equipment in five of the Hillsborough County Sheriffs Office locations, as well as a Homeland Security office. Its a great working arrangement with all of the equipment provided for us, said K3MFT. Our volunteers staffed those locations and the remainder worked from their homes. Over the course of the 4-day activation, 16 STARC volunteers worked 24 hours a day passing information for aid and assistance through the sheriffs office using WebEOC, a web-based emergency management information system. DeAngelo emphasized that STARC is not a club, but a service organization. Volunteers are required to undergo an extensive background investigation, including fingerprinting. STARC volunteers are civilians and employees of various Hillsborough County government agencies, Verizon, Tampa Electric, St. Josephs Hospital, Tampa Police Department, and other public and private agencies. CLOSER TO HOME The members of the North East Victoria Amateur Radio Club have opened their flood initiative again to help those fellow amateurs in need. Joining me is Frank VK2BFC Club Secretary A pool of $2000 is available for amateurs in the flood affected areas, particularly Shepparton and Echuca in the form of 20 x $100 Coles/Myer gift cards. These cards are for the Amateur and their family that have been affected by the floods, to buy any needed items, be it a bit of food, down to a dry pair of socks. Please see the policy document, and see the website at nevarc.org.au/flood-recovery for more information.
