NATIONAL NEWS FOR WEEK COMMENCING June 09 2019
IN OUR 24th YEAR OF NON STOP NEWS
WIA BOARD TALK with Aidan VK4APM. -
WIA Annual Conference 2020, call for presentations.
THIS & MORE IN THIS EDITION OF NEWS FROM THE
WIRELESS INSTITUTE OF AUSTRALIA 2019
AND FOR WEEK OF JUNE 9 2019
Apollo 11 50th Anniversary
Open Days at Parkes 20 - 21 July 2019
It was one giant leap for mankind, and it was taken at 12.56 PM
Australian Eastern Standard Time on Monday, 21 July 1969.
Six hundred million people, one sixth of mankind at the time, watched
Neil Armstrong's first steps on the Moon. Three tracking stations
were receiving the signals simultaneously. They were CSIRO's Parkes
Radio Telescope, the Honeysuckle Creek tracking station outside
Canberra, and NASA's Goldstone station in California. The signals
were relayed to Mission Control at Houston. During the first few
minutes of the broadcast, NASA alternated between the signals from
its two stations at Goldstone and Honeysuckle Creek, searching for
the best quality images. When they switched to the Parkes pictures,
they were of such superior quality, that NASA remained with the
Parkes TV pictures for the remainder of the 2 1/2-hour telecast.
To commemorate this historic event, the CSIRO Parkes Observatory will
be holding Open Days on the anniversary weekend of 20-21 July 2019.
The public is invited to visit the Observatory and enjoy the various
activities being planned.
These include:
Tours of the telescope
Talks by special guest speakers and astronomers
Daytime astronomy viewings of the brightest stars, planets and Sun
by the members of the Central West Astronomical Society
The screening of the film, The DISH, on the Saturday night, in the
field adjacent to the telescope (weather permitting)
Plus much more
All are welcome to attend, with all activities being free of charge.

WIA
WIA Annual Conference 2020
Call for Presentations
It was announced that the 2020 WIA Annual Conference will be held in
Hobart on the 8-10 May 2020.
The theme is Antarctic Gateway and so the tours and visits during the
weekend all revolve around Antarctica and Radio.
This is a request for anyone who would be prepared to give a
presentation on the Saturday afternoon on any aspect of amateur radio,
Antarctica, radio, electronics, experimentation or all of these.
The presentations slots are 30-40m in length with 5-10m of questions
at the end or throughout the presentation.
If you have a topic and or presentation or just an idea for one then
please contact Immediate Past President of the WIA, Justin VK7TW

(VK7WI NEWS)
Howdy, It is Aidan, VK4APM here for this week's board comment.
Before I begin, and on behalf of the board, I would like to thank all
those who were involved in the delivery of yet another successful WIA
annual conference in Sydney. The Waverley Club and AR New South
Wales put on a fantastic show that was well received by all with whom
I have spoken.
Gatherings like this, by their very nature, are often marred by
conflicting points of view. At times, in the not so distant past,
this has resulted in clear division within the community. This year,
however, there appeared to be a level of solidarity amongst those who
were present.
It would appear that over the last 12 months the amateur community
has felt a heightened awareness that the hobby of Amateur Radio is
in the grips of a material existential crisis unlike the hobby has
seen before whereby extinction is a very definate possibility - not
today, even tomorrow, but in a decade or two.
There are two themes that resonated across the WIA conference weekend
that are critical to resolving this crisis.
The first is community:
Our survival will be determined, in no small part, by the ability for
the amatuer community to pull together and support each other in the
road ahead. Over the past 10 years an enormous amount of effort
has been expended fighting battles internal to the hobby both at
local club , state and national levels. It is time for the
ego-driven self-serving behaviors of the past to end.
Imagine what could be accomplished if this energy was directed
towards ensuring the survival of the hobby by giving the youth of
today the same opportunity to learn about the magic of radio and
electronics and allied sciences that we all did.
The second is change:
We live in a time where change is the only constant and the rate of
change is ever increasing. The opportunity to reinvent ourselves is
enormous, however, If amateur radio is to survive, we must change,
the hobby must change and the WIA must change. Change is neither
easy or painless. We must accept that those things that worked in
the past will not work in the future. We must all focus on the
things that matter - that is, the survival of the hobby. We do this
by demonstrating that we deliver value to the communities in which
we live and operate thereby cementing our hobby's rightful place in
tomorrows society.
The board of the WIA has worked tirelessly over the 12 months I have
been a director to lay the foundations for this change. The
feedback from the convention is that our community is ready for
change.
The only question that remains is whether we collectively prepared
to do what needs to be done..
And with that, it's over to you
This is VK4APM

KUWAIT
Wait they did but now 60 meters has arrived in Kuwait
Kuwaiti telecom regulator, CITRA, has released the new WRC-15 Amateur
Secondary Allocation of 5351.5 - 5366.5 kHz to Kuwaiti 9K2 licensees
Under ITU Footnote 5.133B, which in the case of Kuwait means a
maximum power of 15W EIRP.
Paul Gaskell G4MWO, Editor, The 5 MHz Newsletter told us that the
first Kuwaiti ham on the new band was Muhammad, 9 K 2 NO, operating
FT8, who is looking forward to working more stations.

GERMANY
GLOBAL GATHERING RETURNING TO FRIEDRICHSHAFEN
Get ready for another global gathering of radio amateurs - this one
in Germany. From Amateur Radio Newsline here's Ed Durrant DD5LP.
ED: Following a move back after two years to its normal 3rd weekend
of June dates, the Ham Radio event at Friedrichshafen is expecting a
wide range of traders, exhibitors and lecturers.
June 21st through the 23rd in Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance, a
pretty town in the scenic countryside near to the borders of Austria,
Switzerland and France in the very south of Germany, will see the
44th running of the "Ham Radio" international HamFest in the top
Expo centre of Europe, the Friedrichshafen "Neue Messe."
These dates usually bring sunshine on all three days that can be
enjoyed in the Beer Gardens and on the lawns but all exhibitors and
traders (including the flea market) are inside the Zeppelin-sized
halls in any case. The Zeppelin airships were originally built near
to this site and from the airport next door you can take a Zeppelin
ride and operate Aeronautical Mobile!
Lectures throughout the three days take place in the conference rooms
within the same large building and include topics from the SDR
Academy to Contest University, from SOTA to Digital TV, from the
QO-100 Satellite to new data modes, from antenna design forums to
Youngsters on the Air and lots more.
More national societies are represented at Friedrichshafen than any
other international HamFest and all of the large manufacturers are
represented alongside smaller companies from all over Europe.
To find out more check out hamradio-friedrichshafen.com
Already starting to pack for the event, this is Ed DD5LP.
FRANCE
France's national amateur radio society REF say total of ham radio
licenses increased more in first four months of 2019 than number of
new licenses in the whole of 2018
A Google translation of their post says:
For the first time in several years the curve of the number of French
radio amateurs registered with the administration is increasing!
The number of assignments of individual codes (or reactivation) over
the first four months of 2019 has already exceeded that of the whole
of last year: 297 at the end of April against 263 for the whole year
2018.
The reactivation of many individual codes is certainly related to the
suppression of the amateur radio tax.
Up until January 2019 an annual tax had been imposed on radio
amateurs (a license fee).
BELGIUM
Belgium's national amateur radio society, the UBA, has published
details of the May 24 decision of the BIPT Council on amateur radio
frequencies, powers and transmission modes
The decision of the BIPT Council of May 24 concerning the frequencies,
powers and transmission modes that may be used by the radio amateurs
was published on the BIPT website.
This, following an objection from the UBA.
The new Decree meets the objections that many holders of a Basic
license had against the earlier Decree.
The full Decree is available on the BIPT website

IRELAND
First cross band Sporadic-E contacts made on 40 MHz from Ireland
Following on from the news of some inter-EI tests done on 40 MHz
we now have news of the first cross band contacts made from Ireland
via Sporadic-E on their new 8-metre band.
Saturday May 25 2019, EI 9 KP in the north-west of Ireland managed
to complete a two way 40 MHz / 50 MHz cross band contact with DG 1 VL
in Germany. This is as far as we are aware the very first 8m/6m
cross band QSO in Europe.
https://ei7gl.blogspot.com/2019/05/first-sporadic-e-crossband-contacts.html
MEXCICO
Mexican radio amateurs have been providing communication support from
a fire scene in a remote area to civil protection authorities in
Monterrey, Mexico. Two-member teams of volunteers have been flown in
via helicopter since May 20, the first day of radio support, when the
fire had already been burning for a couple of days. The fire in
Pajonal about 20 kilometres south of Monterrey covered more than
200 acres in rough terrain. Temperatures have topped 100 F.
Teams had been using Winlink but added the weak-signal software
Vara HF, after Jos, EA 5 HVK, provided a Vara license on short
notice. Tom Whiteside, N 5 TW, in Texas, has been supporting the
effort from across the border. He has 40 and 20 meter arrays pointed
in the direction of the fire in Nuevo Leon.
Alfonso Tamez, XE2O, president of Mexico's IARU member-society
FMRE, has been among the volunteers.
In addition to HF digital traffic, the volunteer teams have been
taking advantage of VHF repeaters.
HF antennas consist of a 40-meter dipole for 40 and a steerable
portable dipole. A generator is providing electrical power.

VK SHIRES CONTEST happens QUEENS BIRTHDAY Weekend (June 8-10)
WIA WINTER EDITION OF VHF UHF FIELD DAY
This is Roger Harrison VK2ZRH, Interim Manager for the VHF-UHF
Field Days
The 2019 Winter event is two weekends away !
It has been a looong interim for me, but here we are with the first
single set of rules.
No more Division 1 and Division 2. Scoring is now be distance-based.
So. Over Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd, Winter Field Day fun
and frolics is on for all you stalwart enthusiasts keen to brave
whatever the weather can throw at us.
So far, that means wild winds, low temperatures and icy precipitation
All the Sections and Sub-sections featured in past events remain,
as do the two-hour re-work period and the exchange of 6-character
locators for all contacts.
Any stalwart Rovers keen to travel from peak to peak - well, hump to
hump, really . . . still have to travel from Square to Square, but
the scoring is based on 6-character locators.
You can concentrate your efforts on one band, if that's what you
fancy, and go hammer and tongs to pile up contacts.
You never know, you might just win the sub-section to the surprise of
all !
Alternatively, have a lash at the Four-bands Sub-section.
At a minimum, you can operate on any two of the bands six metres,
two metres, 70 centimetres, 23 centimetres - or three bands, or the
whole four !
You don't have to be a "gun" operator with a "super station" to get
out there and have fun on the Field Day.
For those who are 'old hands' at VHF-UHF Field Day shenanigans,
why not invite an F-call or Standard to join you in the field.
Or, invite an F-call or Standard to your home QTH for a few hours of
the contest.
Yes. Home stations are welcome !
Take the opportunity, if you know someone returning to the hobby,
get them involved and mentor them through the process of making
contest contacts.
You never know what might happen. They could get hooked !
You'll find the rules on the VHF-UHF Field Days page of the WIA
website.
www.wia.org.au/members/contests/vhfuhf/
So. Download the new rules from the website - and - over Saturday the
22nd and Sunday the 23rd - be on the air, or be square !
This is Roger Harrison VK2ZRH for VK1WIA News.

GAPA
The Grid and Prefix Award Program (GAPA) present the most detailed
and comprehensive Digital Awards Program available. This series is
offered to both Radio Amateurs and SWL Operators.
Awards offered by GAPA fall into two major categories based on
call sign prefixes and grid square locations.
Popular digital modes such as FT, JT, RTTY and PSK can be used to
earn individual awards and as award endorsements. The program also
encourages the use of other modes like T10, Throb, SSTV and Hell.
Awards are based on operator contacts, not an operator's location.
The Prefix Award is earned by working digital mode stations with
different prefixes from around the world. A basic award begins with
submission of 50 to 400 unique prefixes based on the mode used.
Additional endorsements then can be added for different bands, modes
and continents worked.
Grid square awards begin with a basic award that requires 50 to 300
unique grid square locators depending on the mode used. Additional
endorsement can be added for band, mode and continent worked.
Take to a look at the GAPA Program's Certificate Family Tree page
to examine the certificates offered and see some examples of
certificates with their band and continent endorsement stickers.

AMSAT Field Day on the Satellites
The weekend of June 22-23, 2019 is Field Day!
Each year the American Radio Relay League sponsors Field Day.
The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT) promotes their own
version of Field Day focused on operation via the amateur satellites,
held concurrently with the ARRL event.
The AMSAT Field Day 2019 event is open to all Amateur Radio operators.
Amateurs are to use the exchange as specified in ARRL rules.
The AMSAT competition is to encourage the use of all amateur
satellites, both analogue and digital.
The congestion on FM LEO satellites is always so intense that they
must continue to limit their use to one-QSO-per-FM-satellite.
This includes the International Space Station.
You will be allowed one QSO if the ISS is operating Voice.
NO points will be credited for any contacts beyond the ONE allowed
via each single-channel FM satellite.
Operators are encouraged NOT to make any extra contacts via the FM
satellites.

The Science Museum's YouTube channel has a video of the first
astronaut from the UK, Helen Sharman GB1MIR, who used amateur
radio to talk to students in schools across the UK. In May 1991,
Helen Sharman became the first Briton in space. The Soyuz TM-12
mission, which included Soviet cosmonauts Anatoly Artsebarsky,
U7MIR and Sergei Krikalev U5MIR, launched on May 18, 1991 and
lasted eight days, most of that time spent at the Mir space sta-
tion.

Many of the 60 satellites are glinting in sunlight--that is,
"flaring." Sometimes the flashes of light rival the brightest stars
in the night sky.
